Chapter 480: I'm not sure
Looking at the neatly arranged team in front of them, there are more than 10,000 people at full capacity, and there are very few people wearing armor and weapons, and there are only more than 3,000 people, their equipment is very strange, they are all horse-drawn carts, with round copper pipes on them, and two wheels below, which seem to be also made of steel, just rely on such a few people to defeat 300,000 people?
Li Ting said seriously: "Yes, there are so many people. Rest assured, there are enough of us. ”
Yang Bin wanted to cry without tears, he had been running around for so long and taking so much risk to find such a few people, and he was not a cavalryman, wasn't he a dishman. It is estimated that these people will throw things away and run as far as they see the Turkic cavalry.
But there is no way, grasshopper legs are also meat, in the Western Regions, a bird place, there are few people, and it is not easy to get together more than 10,000 people, and I don't know how the 300,000 Turkic Tubo people got together. He could only say with a bitter face: "Okay, then let's go." You carry so much baggage, the march must be slow, we will lead the way in front, and everyone will scatter the spies far away to prevent sneak attacks. ”
Li Ting also sighed: "Yes, things are too heavy to go too fast, which is the only drawback." Su Dingfang is going to suffer a little. He has been with Li Dongsheng for so many years, and he is also very familiar with Su Dingfang.
"Put!"
With the general's order, all the soldiers shot thousands of bows together, only a buzzing sound was heard, and the dense arrows only rose into the air, reached the highest point, and then turned around and fell under the effect of gravity, shooting into the charging formation of those Turkic Tibetans.
"Poof!" "Poof!"
Those poor herdsman soldiers could only use small shields made of wood to try to block the arrows, but how could the flesh and blood wearing only leather jackets stop them? The sharp arrows smashed the wooden shield and stabbed it directly through the clothes into the flesh, and the blood flew and the crowd wailed!
It's already the fifth day, the Tang army has been squeezed together, all the grenades have been exhausted, and now the arrows are all slowly picked up after the enemy retreats, and the situation has reached an extremely critical juncture.
The Tang army was very tired, and the enemy on the opposite side took turns to rest, harassing them day and night, and running out of ammunition and food was a portrayal of them. Lu Dongzan on the mountain has also run out of patience, he has already ordered to launch a general attack today, and now is the test before the general attack.
However, the current Turkic Tubo people are not comfortable, these Tang troops have been trapped for so many days and still resist desperately, and none of them said that they wanted to surrender.
These Tubo people looked at the corpses of their companions in front of them, although they also caused casualties to the Tang army, but there were also many deaths on their own side. Fortunately, there are more Tang soldiers here, otherwise there are really a lot of wins and losses, and that firearm is really terrible.
Although a burst of bows and arrows made the enemy stop attacking, but the Tang army still did not dare to relax, Su Dingfang looked at the black head on the opposite side and said calmly: "Everyone has a spear in front, a horizontal knife in the middle, and a bow and arrow in the back, everyone is in formation, no matter how the enemy attacks, we must resist!" ”
Everyone knew that this was the last moment, and everyone was silently arranging the formation, which was what they were used to in the usual exercises, and there was no difficulty.
Only those generals asked in a low voice, "Chief Administrator, when will the reinforcements you said arrive?" ”
Now Su Dingfang is not as confident as before, what if he is worried that his scouts have not passed the news over? Or what if reinforcements are blocked on the road? One bad scene after another appeared in front of him repeatedly.
Unfortunately, time was running out, and the commander of the Turkic-Tibetan coalition army on the hill waved a large banner and issued an order for a general attack.
"Boom!"
The Tibetans and Turks finally crossed the buffer zone between them and the Tang army, and after being shot by the arrows of the Tang army, they still rushed through the parapet wall with stones and corpses, and they were greeted by spears like trees, like surging waves hitting a reef in the sea, but one splashed with seawater, and the other splashed with blood!
The spear array withstood the impact of the enemy's army, as long as the speed of the cavalry impact stopped, the poorly equipped Turks were unlucky, and the fully armed Tang army kept stabbing with spears from the gaps, and the Turkic Tubo people continued to scream and fall off their horses.
Just the moment of contact, hundreds of corpses fell in the place where the two armies fought, most of them were Tibetans and Turks, and those who were well protected at this moment took advantage. Both sides were red-eyed, blood with temperature flying in the air, everyone was fighting desperately for survival, and there was only one thought in their hearts was to kill all the enemies on the opposite side.
Lu Dongzan and those officials on the top of the mountain could also hear the screams, these Turks and Tibetans who had no strong armor and only some sharp weapons rushed into the heavily armed Tang army formation, and they could only rely on human lives to fill it, because all they could rely on was the impact of war horses.
Lu Dongzan stood on the side of the mountain and looked down at the battlefield below, like the eye of God, and the overall situation was under control. I couldn't help but sigh: "God loves the people of the Central Plains so much, and gives them the best land, only we live in the bitter cold plateau, if we have such a land, then what should people be rich." ”
A Turkic dressed man next to him also agreed: "We are also on the grassland, we can only raise cattle and sheep, and the harvest depends on the sky, and when the wind and snow are heavy in winter, the tents are all covered by snow, and the cattle and sheep are all frozen to death." There is not enough food to eat, and the old people in the tribe go to the grassland alone to freeze to death for the survival of the tribe, how many people can understand such suffering. ”
"You look at the extent of the Tang Army's wealth, everyone is in armor, those heavy cavalry are armed to the teeth, all over the body are full of iron armor, there are no flaws at all, you see that now we have to kill at least a dozen of them, this price is too great."
"No matter how big the price is, we have to eat this Tang army, and now there is still a wave of Tang army that has advanced in Songzhou to the interior of your Tubo, we must quickly clean up this wave, and then go straight to Chang'an, so that the army in Songzhou can come back to rescue as soon as possible."
Where are all the people on the top of the mountain observing the battle below, Lu Dongzan looked very carefully, he had to keep all the tactics and methods of the Tang army in mind, and he could use them when he attacked Chang'an.
On Qinling, he didn't dare to be interested in the battle, so he turned around the mountain, and after looking at the scenery for a few days, he also saw the surrounding scenery, but he really couldn't arouse his interest, so he could only look into the distance, because he could see far from the height. At this glance, one of the marching armies was approaching the battlefield, but it did not look like a Turkic or Tibetan army, because the two armies were not marching in such a neat procession.
He hurriedly shouted: "Father, look, where is there an army that is not a reinforcement of the Tang Army!" ”
