Chapter 127: Turning over the clouds
As soon as you rush out of this area, your eyes will become open.
Zampo will be able to reunite the team and find an opportunity to escape.
Do not give the Tang army any chance to join the encirclement.
But......
The final change happened in this paragraph.
Unlike what was expected, the end of the Tang army camp was no longer an empty city plan.
Rows of large crossbows, hidden in tents to hide from the rain, were pushed out.
"Shoot the arrows!"
With the shouts of the Tang commanders, rows of giant arrows as thick as children's arms shot at the oncoming Tubo people.
Rainstorm and arrow rain, I can't tell which is denser.
But the Tibetan people, and even the strange people who lurk among the Tibetan people, at this moment, smell the breath of death.
……
The rain continued to wash down, turning the blood on the ground into winding streams.
The ground has long been littered with corpses.
There are Tang people, and more are Tibetan people.
Zanpo was protected by more than 300 Tibetan soldiers and relied on the remaining camps of the Tang army as the last resistance.
The good news is that the rain has been falling, and the bowstrings of the Tang people have been wet.
For a short time, it should be impossible to release that terrible crossbow bolt again.
The bad news is that the more than 3,000 Tubo elites who followed Zanpo to participate in the night attack this time are probably less than 1,500 people who can stand up so far.
The Tang people had already taken precautions, arranged the crossbow arrows in advance, and carefully designed the shooting route, leaving almost no dead ends.
The more than 1,000 Tubo soldiers who rushed to the front were killed by the Tang army's crossbow arrows only when they were the first to take the face.
Like harvesting wheat, it suddenly fell down with a stubble and never got up again.
What's more excessive is that the crossbow used by the Tang people is not a giant crossbow for siege.
That kind of thick arrow is difficult to resist even with iron armor.
What's more, the armor rate of the Tubo people is far inferior to that of the Tang army.
I heard that the Tang people were rich, and at least sixty percent of the army wore armor.
At present, only a small number of nobles can wear iron armor.
For most people, it's nice to have leather armor.
And for the sake of the effect of this raid, most people don't even want leather armor, and the armor soaked in rain will only slow down the speed.
This situation further expanded the killing efficiency of Tang Arrow.
Minutes and seconds passed.
The Tang army's military formation was more than 50 steps outside the barracks, standing in the rain, standing as pine.
Silent, motionless.
The offensive and defensive momentum just turned.
Inexplicably funny.
Even without bows and crossbows, these armored Tang people are still a group of monsters.
Beside Zanpo, a pro-soldier whispered: "General, why didn't they attack?" ”
"They're waiting for the rain to stop."
Zanpo sneered: "The rain makes the bow and crossbow unusable, and the clothes and armor on the Tang people are heavy, they are waiting for the rain to stop, and then they will line up to harvest the heads." ”
There was a look of horror in the guard's eyes.
"Don't be afraid, after the rain stops, it is also our chance, we don't have the burden of armor, and we can run faster than the Tang people."
Zanpo laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes.
This laughter calmed the surrounding Tibetan people a little.
The Tang army numbered around 5,000 and was divided into countless small phalanxes according to the hundred-man team.
These phalanxes were lined up horizontally, with passages large enough in the middle for horses and large instruments to pass through.
At the front of the array, Lou Shide and Wang Xiaojie praised Chang Zhi, the black tooth who was standing next to the crossbow with a knife: "Chang Zhi's hand is really deformed by the moon array, and those Tubo people who are stealing the camp and stealing the village have been disabled by three rounds of arrow rain. ”
"Don't dare to call it merit."
On the swarthy face of the black tooth Changzhi, a smile squeezed out: "Thanks to the Flying Eagle message from the chief manager, we are prepared in advance, otherwise we are afraid that we will really be succeeded by the Tubo people." ”
Before he started, as a naturalized general, the pressure on his heart was extraordinary.
Fortunately, Su Dawei sent a message through Xunying, which mentioned that he could use the black-toothed Changzhi cloth to get off the crossbow array and use it to kill and injure the Tubo people.
Back then, Su Dawei fought with Heizhi Changzhi in Baekje, and he was deeply impressed by Heizhi Changzhi's crossbow and the Moon Formation.
It has been proven that in a specific environment, the killing effect of this crossbow array is simple and efficient.
"On the side of Wuwei City, Xue Tingshi is also prepared, if the Tubo people want to steal the city, they will only lose even more."
"We still have reserves, and there should be no change in this battle."
"It's just a matter of whether we can keep all the enemies behind."
Li Wei, Gao Chongwen, Guo Beifeng and other generals in the rear discussed in whispers almost at the same time.
The sound of the rain gradually subsided.
Hei Tooth Chang Zhi, Sha Zha Xiangru, as well as Wang Xiaojie, Lou Shide, Cui Qi and other generals, looked up at the sky almost at the same time: "The rain has stopped." ”
Whining~
In the formation of the Tang army, the horn of the attack sounded.
The hoplites moved their feet, with a slow but determined pace, closing in on the enemy in front of them.
Spears are like a forest.
In the sunlight after the rain, there is a chill that makes people palpitate.
Between the vertical and horizontal queues of these soldiers, in each column, there is also a Taoist priest, holding a magic weapon in his hand, and the vitality on his body flows.
Seeing this scene, Zanpo's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"The cunning Tang people are actually worthy of a Taoist priest!"
"I heard that the Turks would carry shamans in their army, but I didn't expect the Tang people to do the same."
"They're coming, General, what should I do?"
Hundreds of people leaned into their ears and talked about it.
Zanpo's face turned pale.
Suddenly, on the way of the advance of the Don army, there was a loud noise.
The ground collapsed and fell, and a black python leaped out of it.
This strange snake has no eyes, only a bloody mouth and a mouth, swallowing several Tang soldiers with armor.
"Monster~!"
"Weird!"
The formation of the Tang army wavered for a while.
Countless Tang soldiers struck the spears, hammers, and horizontal knives in their hands, hitting the skin of the poisoned dragon, but it was like defeat.
Some weapons were sucked up, others were bounced back, knocking themselves on the head and bleeding.
Others couldn't dodge it, and were swallowed by the poisonous dragon in one bite.
"Hugh is rampant!"
The Daoists in the queue reacted and stepped forward in a rage, and the sigils in their hands rained down on the poisonous dragon.
Rumble ~~
Zanpo looked at this scene, her face was cloudy.
Suddenly, a fragrant wind blew in my ears.
Looking sideways, I saw a woman in red and black skin, standing behind her at some point, and said in a jade voice: "General, please come with me." ”
……
Guazhou.
Guazhou Thorn Shi Yuwentai looked at the Tubo cavalry covering the sky in front of him, and sat down at the head of the city.
"It's over, it's over."
Yuwentai had a crying voice in his voice.
For the past few days, his right eyelid has been beating, and his heart is very frightened.
I also had a dream that I had horns on my head.
At first, he was very happy, until a minister in the palace said that this was not a good omen, and that the horns on his head were not dragons, but were used under the knife for his head.
It's a big disaster to lose your head.
At that time, Yuwentai was furious and ordered his subordinates to blast out the Xiangshi with a stick.
I never thought that only three days later, I encountered the Tubo people attacking Guazhou.
There are 10,000 people, and there is no shore.
Looking at the formation of the Tubo people, there must be tens of thousands of people.
"Why panic in the history of assassination."
With the sound of the clanging of the nail leaves, a Tang army general walked up to the city.
The man had a blade of grass in his mouth and a handsome face with a nonchalant look.
It seems that he didn't take the Tibetan people in front of him in his eyes at all.
As soon as he saw him, Yuwentai seemed to have found a life-saving straw, got up from the ground, and enthusiastically went up to hold the general's arm: "General Ashina, this time the thieves are powerful, and it is up to you to protect Guazhou." ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."
Ashina really laughed, reached out and patted the back of Yuwentai's hand: "Everything has me, Thorn Shi doesn't have to worry." ”
was slapped by his palm, Yu Wentai retracted his hand with a "snort", and his mind suddenly returned to its former shrewdness.
"No, General Ashina, you don't seem to have many people in your hands, right?"
"Not a lot, eight hundred."
"Ahem!"
Yu Wentai's eyes widened in disbelief, and he almost didn't cough up his lungs.
Eight hundred people, a military force of the lower government, are you embarrassed to tell me a lot about this person?
See how many Tibetans there are?
Eight thousand must be more than that, say eighty thousand Lao Tzu believe it.
There are clouds in the book of war: ten rules surround it.
Now it's a hundredfold.
Can this Guazhou still hold on?
The dejected Yuwentai staggered, took a few steps backwards, and crashed into the city wall at once.
Before he could hold his old waist and exhale pain, he saw Ashina really "bah", spit out the grass root biting the corner of his mouth, strode up, and grabbed Yuwentai's collar.
"General...... The general has something to say, don't do it, please have mercy! ”
Yu Wentai was so frightened that his body went limp.
I heard Ashina really shouting: "Get down." ”
couldn't help but say, he kicked him in the knee and pressed Yuwentai to the ground at once.
Listening to the sound of bone cracking from his knees, Yuwentai let out a scream like a pig: "Oops! Thief, my knees, my knees are gone! ”
Woo Woo Woo ~~~
The sky above overhead suddenly went dark.
The sound of "snatching" is endless.
In an instant, countless weeds seemed to grow at the head of the city.
It was a rain of arrows from the Tibetans.
Yuwentai immediately understood that if it weren't for Ashina's real kick to kick him, he was afraid that he would have become the first assassin in the Tang Dynasty to stand at the head of the city and be shot into a hedgehog by the Tubo people.
For a while, I had mixed tastes in my heart.
I wanted to thank Ashina Daozhen, but the pain in my heart made him unable to pull his face.
"Listen to me, our Guazhou city has the entire Hexi military materials, all the armor, weapons and baggage are gathered here, if the Tubo people break the city and seize these military funds, it is tantamount to strengthening the enemy."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Yu Wentai nodded hurriedly, grabbing Ashina's true arm: "Why don't we ask Ambassador Anji for help, and Pei Dadu ...... protect him."
"So I'm going to lead the troops out to kill for a while, and first frustrate the spirit of the Tubo people."
"Huh?"
Yu Wentai looked up in shock, and said in his heart that it was not this script.
We're only 800 people, can we not toss?
Eight hundred people and a hundredfold enemy are fighting in the field outside the city, isn't this a wave of urgency?
If Ashina Daozhen's group of people are given away, Guazhou will really be finished.
He hurriedly reached out to grab Ashina Daozhen, but he was empty.
Lying on the ground, he barely looked up, only to see the back of Ashina Daozhen in a hurry: "Thorn Shi is at ease guarding the city, and he will return when he goes." ”
Knock knock knock~
The drums of war rose to the sky.
The gate of Guazhou was wide open, and Ashina Daozhen led 800 town soldiers under his command to rush out towards the overwhelming Tubo army.
Yu Wentai, who secretly saw this scene through the cracks of the city, only to feel that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fainted.
