Chapter 1117: The Mo Family Must Die (5)
"Kill!"
On Qinling led 5,000 Tibetan cavalry straight to the position of the firearms supervisor, and both sides did not stop fighting each other and surrendering.
Both of them knew that one of them had a gunpowder secret, and the other had been waiting for an opportunity to ambush here for a long time, and where would there be room for relaxation between the two sides, there was only a life-and-death struggle.
"Whoosh! Sou! A sharp arrow was shot at the Tubo army, and I saw a 300-strong Tang cavalry team constantly slapping the 5,000 Tubo army, intending to block the charge of the Tubo army.
This is the 300 firearms guards led by Xue Rengui, and their battle plan is to contain the Tubo cavalry as much as possible.
"Remember, one blow and go, don't fight." Xue Rengui shouted. Behind him, a group of firearms supervisors answered proudly, and the other firearms supervisors were arranging a chariot formation in the sand, and they didn't need horses, and three hundred firearms supervisors brought out all the horses, all of which were the highest match for one person and three cavalry, and there was no need to care for horsepower at all.
"Yes!" The three hundred firearms guards shouted one after another, and raised their bows and crossbows to the Tibetan cavalry.
Naturally, the Tibetan cavalry was not willing to be beaten passively, and raised their bows to fight back, but they found that the Tang army retreated immediately after dialysis. He didn't seek the results of the battle at all, but only wanted to harass the Tibetan army.
On Qinling's bent on killing the Mo family, he was naturally unwilling to be dragged back by this small group of Tang cavalry, and with a wave of his hand, a team of 500 Tubo cavalry immediately stepped forward to separate the Tubo army and began to drive this Tang cavalry.
However, when the Tibetan soldiers stepped forward to drive away, the three hundred Tang cavalry would pat their horses and leave, if it was a small group of Tibetan cavalry, these three hundred cavalry would be killed like a pack of wolves, and if it was a large group of Tibetan cavalry to catch up.
When the team of three hundred cavalry retreated, they did not forget to look back and shoot at the Tubo cavalry, and from time to time from the cavalry ranks, threw out round grenades, and when the Tubo cavalry arrived, the grenades exploded one after another, and immediately blocked the pursuit of the Tubo cavalry, so that the three hundred Tang cavalry and the five hundred Tubo cavalry always maintained a certain distance, and the Tang cavalry could easily kill the Tubo cavalry, while the bows and arrows of the Tubo cavalry often missed, and occasionally some bows and arrows hit the Tang army, but it was already the end of the strong crossbow, Does not cause damage to armoured firearms warlords at all.
The only possible opportunity was to hit the Tang army's war horse, but the Tang army was mostly one person and three horsemen, once the war horse was injured, it would immediately change horses, and it didn't take long for only 300 of the 500 Tubo cavalry to remain, and there were 200 Tubo cavalry casualties under the tactics of the Tang army.
"Hahaha! This kite-flying tactic of the sacrificial wine lord is really good! Xue Rengui said happily, seeing that he had already transferred this Tubo cavalry far away, he couldn't help but wave his hand, and was about to charge in turn to destroy this Tubo cavalry, but he saw that the Tubo cavalry retreated one after another and rushed back to most of Tubo.
Xue Rengui couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but secretly praise the Tubo generals for being powerful, they actually saw through his intentions, and even took the initiative to recall the Tang Army, so that his intentions fell through again.
"The subordinates are ashamed that they have lost 200 Tibetan warriors." Tubo centurion Zamu said with a look of shame, he is a famous warrior in Tubo, but now he has been turned around by the Tang generals, and he has suffered heavy losses, while the losses of the Tang army are minimal.
On Qinling did not blame Zamu, but said solemnly: "The gunpowder is really extraordinary. ”
But he saw with his own eyes that Zamu was about to catch up with the Tang army, but was blocked by the Tang army's gunpowder, how could such a sharp weapon not make him excited.
"Mo Chi! You immediately lead the thousand horsemen, be sure to destroy these three hundred Tang horses, and don't let him harass this son to attack the Mo family. On Qinling's face was solemn, his eyes were staring at the firearms monitoring car array in a sandy field, and the ink characters erected high directly told him that Mo Jiazi was in the car array, which was simply a provocation.
"Yes! Son! Mo Chi answered, and immediately led the thousand horsemen towards Xue Rengui, and Xue Rengui immediately retreated, wanting to continue to attack Mo Chi's thousand-man team with kite tactics, but Mo Chi was extremely cautious and was not fooled at all, and directly drove Xue Rengui away.
Xue Rengui couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, you think that this general is helpless, and immediately picked up the steel crossbow and shot at the Tubo cavalry, Mo Chi waved his hand, but the Tubo cavalry fought back, but he found that the range of the Tang army's steel crossbow was unusually long, although the bows and arrows of the Tubo were all first-class bows and arrows, but they could not be compared with the steel crossbows of the Tang army, and they immediately suffered a big loss in comparison.
Mo Chi didn't know that the standard equipment of the firearms supervisor was the most advanced weapon of the Tang Army, this steel crossbow was made of the third generation of steel of the Mo family, both elasticity and range and durability have been greatly improved, and it can shoot many times, unlike bows and arrows, if you shoot more than ten times in a row, your arm will be painful and embarrassing, and you need to rest for a while before you can continue shooting.
And Mo Chi immediately changed his tactics, first pulled the distance, relied on the large number of people, and began to hunt Xue Rengui, fortunately, Xue Rengui saw the opportunity early, otherwise he would have suffered a big loss, and then he didn't dare to get too close, and for a while, a thousand Tubo cavalry and three hundred Tang troops actually held each other.
Merton held a telescope and saw that on the Gobi Desert, Xue Rengui was contained, but he restrained the thousands of troops of the Tubo army, which had relieved a lot of pressure on the firearms supervisor.
Even he could clearly see the Tibetan soldiers on the Gobi Desert who were eager to try, 700 against 3,800, if it was even a brave and good fighter, I am afraid that he would be apprehensive, but Merton was very calm.
Although gunpowder has been in existence for several years and the firearms supervisor has been established for several years, the firearms supervisor has only developed a thousand people, and the military is more willing to believe in the cold sword than to use gunpowder weapons that are like burning sticks when they are used up.
"Today's battle will show the world the true power of gunpowder." If it is said that the firearms supervisor broke through the city under Gaochang City, the world was shocked, but it can only be used on specific occasions, and today's battle will be the first time that thermal weapons will shine in actual combat.
"Mohou, can we stop the Tubo army?" Koji Zhisheng on the side was terrified.
Mo Dun grinned and said: "Don't worry, who am I, the dignified Mo family, even Gaochang City can be broken with one blow, claiming that one person is enough to reach ten thousand troops, and the Tubo army plus one piece is only 5,000 soldiers and horses, which is not a problem at all." ”
Koji Zhisheng couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, although Mo Jiazi claimed that one person was worth ten thousand troops, but that was just the value of Mo Jiazi, not that your Mo family could really defeat an army of tens of thousands of people by himself, but although Koji Zhisheng was suspicious in his heart, but seeing Mo Jiazi's calm and calm expression, the panic in his heart suddenly disappeared.
Seeing that Mo Jiazi was so calm and composed, the other firearms supervisors suddenly felt relieved, and they often conducted offensive and defensive drills, so they were naturally full of confidence in the firearms in their hands, and Lu Zhisheng, who saw all this, couldn't help but sigh secretly: "I'm not as good as Mo Jiazi." ”
However, in his heart, he hoped that Mo Jiazi would create a miracle again, after all, he could still be the prince of Jincheng County in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and he could save his life and wealth, but if it fell into the hands of Tubo, then I am afraid it would not be necessarily.
Seeing the convoy in the sand, Qin Ling couldn't help but smile coldly, and pointed with his big hand: "There are only 1,000 firearms supervisors, and there are 300 Tang cavalry outside, and there are only 700 soldiers around the Mo family, but our army has 3,800 people. ”
Zamu suddenly said feverishly: "Thank you, Childe." ”
3,800 soldiers against 700 Tang troops, even if they dismounted to fight, in the eyes of the Tibetan soldiers, this battle will be won by Tubo.
"Attack!" With the order of Non Qinling, Zamu took the lead in rushing to the car formation of the firearms supervisor in the sand, and the first confrontation between hot weapons and cold weapons in history officially began.
"Kill!" Zamu roared angrily, holding his weapon and rushing straight to the firearms monitoring position.
Suddenly, I only heard a wail from the horse under the crotch, a stumbling and falling to the ground, Zha Mu skillfully rolled over, then landed smoothly, and suddenly felt a piercing pain on his back, Zha Mu endured the pain and pulled it out, only to see a bloodstained iron thorn with four sharp horns appeared in his hand, and as far as the eye could see, the whole sand could be said to be covered with these sharp iron thorns, many Tibetan war horses were hit, and suddenly people turned over on their backs.
"Tang Jun is so despicable!" Zamu roared angrily, the Tang army actually buried the iron thorns in the yellow sand, and they were hit one after another without paying attention.
"Tribulus terrestris?" Koji Zhisheng watched the Tubo people turn on their backs, and couldn't help blurting out.
Merton couldn't help but look at Koji Zhisheng in surprise, and Koji Zhisheng smiled bitterly: "Mozi Beicheng Gate" said that at the gate of the city, ginseng stones and tribulus terrestris are accumulated to resist the enemy army. I think that at the beginning, the criminal minister used this trick to arrange a large number of thistles under the city of Gaochang, but Mohou never thought of breaking the city from the city gate. ”
Koji Zhisheng can be said to have made sufficient preparations for battle at that time, but the firearms monitoring hot air balloons and gunpowder frightened him, so that the weapons defending the city of Gaochang City were almost destroyed, and then he made up his mind to surrender.
Mo Dun couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, he didn't expect that Koji Zhisheng was still a fan of the Mo family, and he was a little embarrassed at the moment: "The thistle terrestris is a sharp weapon for defense, not only the nemesis of the cavalry, but also a wonderful way to prevent the enemy from stealing the camp, of course, it can also be used for other purposes." ”
"It's a good thing." Koji Zhisheng couldn't help but be stunned, only to see that the war horses of the Tubo cavalry were stabbed by the thistle, they dismounted and attacked, and found an offensive route without thistle, just when Koji Zhisheng was nervous, he suddenly only heard an order from Merton, and the trebuchet behind him made a whistling sound, and one by one the explosives bags whistled in, and the Tubo soldiers who gathered together to charge.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! A series of explosions accompanied by the light of the fire reflected in the eyes of Ko Zhisheng, he is very familiar with this kind of explosion, thinking that his Gaochang palace was not less bombed by explosives packs, but how frightened he was when he was bombed, how cool it is to see the Tubo soldiers today.
"It turns out that thistle terrestris still has such a wonderful use." Lu Zhisheng couldn't help but sigh that Mo Jiazi used the distribution of thistles to skillfully lure the Tubo soldiers together, and directly bombarded them with gunpowder with trebuchets, and threw the five bodies of Mo Jiazi in his heart.
"Withdraw! Evacuate! After Qinling personally counted the number of people, he found that there were hundreds of Tibetan warriors who fell in this wave of bombardment, and Zhamu, who was in front of the charge, escaped the bombardment and returned with palpitations, and his team of 500 people now has only 200 people left.
Lu Zhisheng watched the retreat of the Tubo army, and couldn't help frowning: "The iron thistle can only be placed at the key intersection, and in the middle of the sandy land of our army, it can attack everywhere. ”
Morton nodded and said, "Having said that, we can use thistle terrestris to guide the direction of Tubo's attack, which is exactly what Mo needs." ”
Koji Zhisheng was shocked in his heart, yes, Mo Jiazi's position is composed of two hundred carriages, which is not conducive to defending in all directions, once a large number of thistles are arranged, it is enough to guide the attack direction of the Tubo army, so that the defensive pressure of the firearms supervisor is greatly reduced.
Sure enough, after the Qinling Tomb was tempted, he found that the firearms supervisor focused on the east and north of the thistle, but there were almost none in the south and west, and he immediately understood that the south and west were the battlefields chosen by Mo Jiazi.
"Mo Jiazi! You are still so confident in such a desperate situation, and you dare to provoke this son. On Qinling snorted coldly.
"Childe, the villain is willing to be the striker again, and personally cut off the head of the Mo family and dedicate it to the son." Zamu said with a hideous face, he was repeatedly frustrated by the Tang Army, and he had long been extremely aggrieved, and he desperately wanted to vent.
On Qinling solemnly looked at the firearms supervisor position that was still as stable as Mount Tai, and then looked at the firearms supervisor Tang Qi, who desperately wanted to come to the rescue, but was repeatedly blocked by Mo Chi, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "It is worthy of being the person that my father likes, the Mo family really has two brushes, but he doesn't know that in the face of absolute strength, all the struggles are in vain." ”
"Kill the Mo family!" The Tibetan soldiers roared angrily.
"This time, Ben Gongzi wants the whole army to press and defeat the Mo family in one fell swoop, no matter what is ahead, even if it is the corpse of a war horse, it must be killed in front of the Mo family." On Qinling said ruthlessly.
Now the strength of Tubo is five times that of the Tang army, and all the troops in Tubo are precious cavalry, as long as they attack the front of the battle, they can crush the entire firearms prison, and at that time he will definitely personally kill the head of the Mo family to relieve the hatred in his heart.
"Toot toot!" With the sound of the trumpet.
This time, more than 3,000 Tibetan cavalry immediately rushed to the firearms guard position, even if the sand was not conducive to the charge, these Tibetan soldiers still urged their horses forward, they found that with horses to block, their damage to gunpowder could be greatly reduced.
Sure enough, in the sandy land to the south and north, Mo Jiazi did not sprinkle thistle here, which made Non Qinling breathe a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but wonder what means Mo Jiazi had to dare to fight with three thousand Tibetan cavalry.
"Three hundred steps! Trebuchet ready! ”
With Merton's order, a group of trebuchets suddenly threw explosive bags again, but this time the Tibetan soldiers already had a way to deal with it, and immediately dispersed, even if the effect of the trebuchets was greatly reduced.
Seeing this, Qin Ling couldn't help but show a trace of pride, thinking that he had found a way to restrain the gunpowder, and with a wave of his hand, the horn of the reunion blew more rapidly,
"Two hundred steps! Three-stage shooting! ”
Seeing the Tibetan soldiers approaching, Merton ordered again.
In an instant, all the firearms officers began to raise the steel crossbow, and began to shoot three times at the powerful range of the steel crossbow, giving full play to the power, and the Tubo soldiers suddenly turned on their backs, even if they had the leather shield in their hands, they still suffered heavy losses.
Seeing this, he understood why his father attached so much importance to the Mo family and the firearms supervisor, the equipment of the firearms supervisor was really good, but there was no turning back for the Qinling, he firmly believed that as long as he could charge to one hundred and fifty steps, at that time, the bows and arrows of the Tubo soldiers could counterattack, and then it would be the end of the Mo family.
Soon, from 200 steps to 150 steps, it can be described as extremely difficult, under the shooting of the three stages, almost every step will be a lot of Tibetan soldiers fall, after paying a huge sacrifice, the Tibetan soldiers finally advanced to 150 steps.
"The victory is decided!" On Qinling couldn't help but be overjoyed, as long as the firearms of the Tibetan soldiers and the vehicle were within the range of the Tubo archers, then with the number of Tubo archers and archery, they would definitely be able to suppress the Tang army, so that the rest of the battle would be easy.
Under the cover of a shield, the bow and arrow in his hand was full of moon, this time he was sure to make the Tang army pay, but he had just aimed at the target, and suddenly a strong sunlight came, and suddenly his eyes were snow-white, and the bow and arrow in his hand couldn't help but come out of his hand and shot on the sand in the distance.
"Again!" Zamu couldn't help but feel sad and indignant in his heart, such a level is simply a great shame for a sharpshooter, and the culprit is that strong piercing light, but they are charging with the sun on their backs, where will there be sunlight in the north! He took advantage of the afterglow, but found that in the Tang Army's car formation, there were several round things, swaying back and forth at the speed of light reflected by the sun, shining in the eyes of the Tubo soldiers.
"The Mo family is really cunning!" On Qinling couldn't help but look embarrassed, at this time he understood that his father Lu Dongzan said that no matter how much he attached importance to the Mo family, there were always strange things in the hands of the Mo family, and he had repeatedly performed miraculous feats, he now understood why the Mo family chose the battlefield in the south and west, so that the Mo family could make full use of the sun's rays, although these rays could not prevent the Tubo soldiers from shooting arrows, but they could greatly reduce the accuracy of the bow and arrow, and the Tubo wanted to use the bow and arrow to suppress the Tang army.
"Optics! Concave mirror! "The nearest Koji Zhisheng looked at it most carefully, where is this a disc, but a huge concave mirror, integrating sunlight into the speed of light, even he feels dazzling when he observes it from the side, not to mention being irradiated by this beam, everyone will subconsciously dodge, let alone pull the bow and shoot arrows, I'm afraid there is no accuracy.
Seeing the Tibetan soldiers' bows and arrows flying in a mess, they could not form an effective covering attack at all, and the Tang army was well-equipped, so it could not cause effective damage at all.
On the contrary, the three-stage shooting of the bow and crossbow of the firearms supervisor was still steady, and even some Tibetan soldiers directly blocked their heads with shields in order to avoid the dazzling light, and there was no time to observe the crossbow arrows.
As far as he could see, hundreds of Tibetan soldiers fell, and if he led a thousand soldiers and horses to attack the Mo family according to his original plan, I am afraid that they would all be killed before they reached the car formation.
"It's less than a hundred steps, and I still have at least three thousand Tibetan soldiers, and you don't have the power to return to heaven anyway." On Qinling said coldly, in just a few hundred steps, nearly eight hundred soldiers and thousands of war horses fell, but as long as they could kill the Mo family, it was all worth it.
"Less than 100 steps." Koji Zhisheng's heart was shocked, he hid aside and observed the battlefield, this was an experience he had never had as a prince, even if it was the original battle under Gaochang City, he was just a remote command.
"How should Mo Jiazi turn the tables?" Koji Zhisheng frowned, "That's right! Firearms, Mo Jiazi has not used firearms yet! ”
Koji Zhisheng's heart moved, and when he saw the Mo family on the side, he was still calmly commanding, even if the enemy on the opposite side was less than a hundred steps, he was still calm.
"Fifty steps." The distance of fifty steps is very short, and the Tubo soldiers may have reached it with one charge, but the Tang army still shoots in three stages step by step.
Koji Zhisheng could even see that the bows and arrows of the Tibetan soldiers were becoming more and more powerful, and even the convex mirrors used to reflect the sun's rays were filled with bows and arrows, which were no longer usable, and even the heavily armed firearms guards began to suffer casualties.
"A swarm of bees!" Suddenly, Morton snorted coldly.
Koji Zhisheng couldn't help but be stunned, looked sideways, and saw one by one firearms supervisors lighting the leads, and the top of the car formation was filled with dense prototype barrels, Koji Zhisheng originally thought it was a defensive thing of the car array, but he didn't expect it to be the weapon that Mo Jiazi relied on the most.
I saw that the lead was burning rapidly, and bursts of white smoke came out of the cylinder, and at this moment, the Tubo soldiers had already charged to less than thirty steps.
Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound spread throughout the entire battlefield, and soon the dense and sharp whistling sound was endless, like a chaotic bee, and the firelight was like a swarm of bees out of the nest, and it rushed straight to the Tubo soldiers opposite.
However, the stinger at the tail of the peak's nest, and this line of fire is carried by sharp crossbow arrows, each barrel is enough to carry thirty-two crossbow arrows, this is a defensive weapon specially researched by Mo Jiazi for the firearms superintendent, and he spared no expense to create it.
Hundreds of bees were released in a swarm, and suddenly the smoke of gunpowder was filled, waiting for the smoke to dissipate, only to see that there was no one in front of the firearms monitoring array. There were only crossbow arrows erected and the corpses of Tibetan soldiers all over the ground.
"This ............" Koji Zhisheng saw the power of a swarm of bees, and couldn't help but be cold with his hands and feet, such a sharp weapon, even if it was a powerful iron horse, I am afraid it would be difficult to escape.
"It is worthy of a swarm of bees that shined in the Battle of Jingjing, and it really didn't disappoint me." Merton couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw a swarm of bees making meritorious contributions, but unfortunately, a swarm of bees was a one-time and not easy to transport, and he brought hundreds of tubes at a time was already the limit, but it was used up in one blow.
On Qinling saw the blank space in front of the car formation, he couldn't help but feel cold, this time in order to ensure that the Mo family was put to death, all the warriors he led were Tubo, but Mo Jiazi's blow was enough to take away nearly a thousand warriors in Tubo, and now he has only one way to go, that is, he must kill Mo Jiazi in order to overcome the merits.
Moreover, with the methods of the Mo family, if the Mo family does not die today, it will become a great disaster in Tibet in the future.
