Chapter 998: Advance and Retreat Must Not Become a Cage (Fourth Update)

Two successive groups of scouts did not return, and the Tibetan team noticed it.

In the third group, they sent a hundred cavalry, but they did not believe that a hundred men could not return.

Not for long, a hundred rode back, one no less.

They came back with smoke, and the air pressure is low today, don't look at the stars blinking, but the air humidity is high.

Some of the cigarettes flew against the turf and fell to the ground.

A hundred people are not in too good shape, with red eyes, including the eyes of horses.

"Report! There were no enemy troops in sight, only smoke, coming with the wind. "The team is reporting with tears in their eyes.

It was so uncomfortable that the smoke was so bad that the horse couldn't stand it at all.

In fact, there is no need for him to say that the smoke is drifting over, and everyone smells it.

"Wet your clothes with water and cover your face." The Tibetan generals have experience, and the general generals have experience, and the smoke attack can only be dealt with in this way.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaosong ordered his subordinates to cover their faces with several layers of wet hand towels and rush forward with bales of grass on their backs.

Rush out for a few miles, put down the grass, light it, and rush back again.

The people next to them can get around, and the middle one can only run with the smoke, which is called uncomfortable.

The fighters ran over and hurried to drink water, and someone rushed into their faces with water bladders.

There's more smoke and a lot more range.

The smokers who ran back couldn't stand it for a while, and there was no need to talk about the place where the Tubo was arrayed.

"Go to the side." A thousand Tibetan households named Cuo Kao Taokai gave an order.

Another Qianhu named Sonam Cidan coughed to stop: "No, the enemy is estimated to be waiting on the side, and once it moves, the car formation will disperse." ”

What he was thinking about was the formation of cars, to the side, to the side, to walk sideways, or vertically?

Walking sideways, the speed of leaving the smoke range is slow, and it is easy to encounter the enemy's 90-degree angle as soon as the front is out of the smoke range.

Walking longitudinally, the enemy may still charge at a 90-degree angle.

The regiments walked together, and the enemy army had cavalry, so they could shoot arrows around.

Sonam will do this if he is replaced by him.

Cuo Kao Taokai was anxious: "What should I do?" ”

"Retreat, there is a river on the way when you come, go back, hide from the smoke, and at the same time you can wait for the two days and become a village by the river." Sonam has a way.

Whether it is a car formation or a military village, the most feared thing is that the water source will be cut off.

"Okay, retreat." Tsokaotaokai agreed, and commanded.

The chariot formation opened and ran backwards, and within the range of smoke, the cavalry rushed over to see if there was any enemy outflanking behind.

This kind of march, so to speak, is textbook, and there is no problem at all.

The problem was that they didn't have binoculars or hot air balloons, and during the day Zhang Xiaosong 'watched' their position and marching speed.

and the composition of the team, which helped them think of several ways.

Zhang Xiaosong gave full play to the advantages of hot air balloons and telescopes, and saw the enemy first.

Li Yi didn't know that the border generals of the Tang Dynasty had played with two things, and Li Yi was thinking about the application of hot air balloons and binoculars for combat at that time.

The main thing is to discover the enemy's large forces in advance, set up an ambush, or calmly arrange.

As a result, the border generals used two things to fight guerrillas, bullying the enemy for not having enough vision.

Therefore, the border generals did not equip the infantry with hot air balloons and binoculars, all cavalry, and were very willing to fight with the enemy.

Vision, speed, more fights, less battles, battlefield blockage.

The generals knew how to play when they got the hot air balloon and binoculars.

Why do you use infantry to fight you head-on? If you use cavalry, you will be grinded to death, will you send scouts? How many rides are sent at a time?

The Tibetan team ran backwards, not daring to go out of the smoke range, for fear that there would be an enemy ambush on the left and right.

As he ran, the smoke thinned, and after a while, the horses were completely detached from the uncomfortable condition of the horses in the midst of everyone's coughing.

The team did not stop, returned to the river, and after a while, they saw the river under the starlight, and prepared to go over and regroup.

"Kill~!" Shouts of killing sounded, and cavalry appeared on the left and right.

"The cavalry attacked, formed a formation, fast, formed a formation by the river, three layers." Sonam shouted.

Less than a thousand cavalrymen divided into two teams, threw down torches and rushed out.

They used to shoot with torches, but now they can't, whoever has a torch shoots the other person.

The cavalry met the enemy left and right, and the Tang cavalry on both sides began to ride their horses in circles, and at the same time arrows rained down.

The Tibetan cavalry released a wave of arrows and followed in circles, trying to seize the upper hand.

Just like Li Yi's previous fleet at sea at that time, he grabbed the upper hand and put on a T-shaped formation.

Walk around on both sides and stay away.

"Kill~~" The sound of killing started again, and on the other side of the river, a group of cavalry urged the horses to come.

Tubo is arrayed by the river, there is no car behind, it is a river, and the small river is used as an obstacle.

River! There is not enough depth, and there is not enough width.

The river, which is dozens of paces wide and less than two feet deep, cannot stop the cavalry.

Some of the cavalry fired arrows when they were about to rush to the river, and then went back in a circle, not crossing the river.

More cavalry crossed the river from both sides of the chariot formation, and the archers of the chariot formation could not shoot, and watched as the opposing side crossed the river.

"Kill~~" From the direction where the smoke drifted from before, another large cavalry team appeared.

The cavalry who crossed the river circled the camp in an arc and were in no hurry to charge.

The cavalry from the front was divided into men to help their own cavalry to chase and kill the cavalry that ran out on both wings of Tibet.

In addition, some cavalrymen dismounted, took out military shovels and dug holes in the ground.

Extending little by little to the outside, the Tibetans in the camp watched, they knew what the other party was going to do.

Even if a cavalry of its own people runs back, it is so dark that the horse's hooves will be broken.

Shouting at a close distance can make your cavalry stop, and shouting at a distance will not be heard by the cavalry.

"Strike, strike, knock them back, tell our cavalry to be careful." Cuo Kao Taokai shouted anxiously.

Sonam Cidan shook his head: "It's over, it's all over, who is the enemy general?" ”

He thought more than Cuo Kao Taokai, and Tang Bing meant this, letting your infantry get out of the car formation.

Without detachment, it is impossible to report to the cavalry.

Detached, detached will kill you.

There is no defense in the front and back, left and right, and there is no defense in the river behind.

When the cavalry is surrounded and suppressed, what will the remaining infantry do to fight each other?

Relying on the car formation? How to deal with the other party finding the limelight and continuing to smoke?

"What then?" Cuo Kao Taokai hated to rush out by himself.

"Surrender, surrender." Sonam Jidan said with a bitter face.

If the battle is like this, what is the point of resisting? To move is to die, not to move or to die.

When he said the words of surrender, he shouted vigorously: "General of the Tang Dynasty, we have surrendered, and our subordinates will be merciful." Shout with me. ”

So a group of people shouted: "We have surrendered, and our men will be merciful......"

When they shouted, a group of Datang slaves who walked to the river and were about to escape from the river to the other side of the river stood up.

They wanted to run, and ran across the river while the Tibetans were panicking.

Now I found that there was no need to run, they followed and shouted, and the shouting seemed to be louder, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, hurry up, come and receive the prisoners, we are the masters.

As soon as they shouted, the Tang cavalry got out of the way, and the Tubo cavalry that ran out before came back, and four-fifths of them came back, and the one-fifth did not come back......
