Chapter 554
The sky is like a black curtain, adorned with stars as decorations. Under the sky, the campfires in the camp of the Tibetans were dotted with stars, echoing the stars in the sky.
The camp stretched for more than 20 miles, when Songtsen Gampo was patrolling the camp. No one stopped him from interrogating, but there were several waves of people who dragged him to drink. In the minds of the Tibetan people, there is not much concept of a country. In their minds, there are more tribes. Although Songtsen Gampo worked hard, after so many years of hard work, he still failed to clench the Tibetan people into a fist.
The various tribes firmly ruled their traditional territories, and Songtsen Gampo made several moves. They were all blocked back by a powerful force!
This time the troops were sent not so much for the honor of Tibet. It's better to say that under the mask of honor, I want to come to Qingtang, a rich place, to grab a handful. A noble appearance always hides a dirty heart.
Looking up at the sky, maybe Yun Hao should come. Only with the help of Yun Hao's hands can the power of these stubborn tribes be weakened. In this way, he can truly rule Tibet. Take back all the rights of Tibet into your own hands and govern this plateau country as you want.
Qingtang is a fruit made of steel, which Songtsen Gampo has long known. He didn't believe that these Tibetan warriors with wooden sticks could smash through the hard shell. The bait is sweet, appealing, and deadly.
In order to be able to truly grasp the power of Tibet, Songtsen Gampo was willing to pay any price. Including the more than 2,000 lives of today's tentative attack!
"Let's go, to the back camp." Songtsen Gampo patted the war horse, and then went to the back camp under the cover of night.
The moon slowly moved to the center of the sky and then headed west. The earth is as calm as a windless lake, and there are no waves. The toss of half a night consumed the energy of those Tibetan people. They slept soundly in their tents, and some of them drank too much and lay on the ground snoring. It doesn't matter how cold the night on the prairie is.
When the morning star rises, countless bright spots rise in the sky at the same time. Like countless meteors, they pierced the sky and then dragged orange-red flames down from the sky.
The sound of the rolling explosions was so loud that I couldn't hear the numbers at all. The light of the explosion shone after another, and a layer of black clouds floated above the Tibetan camp.
Before the sleeping Tibetans could open their eyes, they were torn to pieces by the powerful explosion. Shrapnel of different shapes cut through the leather robes of the Tibetans under the action of strong kinetic energy. And then tearing their flesh mercilessly!
Before there was any movement, the snoring Tibetan camp turned into a scorched earth. The explosion was followed by the suffocating smell of gunsmoke. There are also "crackling" rubble and human debris constantly falling from the sky!
Yun Hao stood on the airship, holding a telescope to watch the situation in the distance.
This sudden fire strike is just too deadly, especially when it comes to stealing camps. Countless rockets dragged the flames and exploded, and the entire camp became a vacuum. There were no humans or other large creatures such as horses left on the surface, and all that remained was scorched earth and corpses.
"The order goes down, and when I camp in the future. Gotta let the scouts out for ten miles, uh...... Fifteen miles. Everyone is equipped with warning fireworks! Yun Hao involuntarily wiped the sweat from his forehead.
This time when I go to the Western Regions, I will face the Tubo people who are equipped with gunpowder weapons. The combat methods that you can think of may not be unthinkable. And rockets are simple in structure and powerful. It is simply the only choice to kill people and destroy corpses. This thing, you need to be really vigilant.
"Dashuai, only the Tubo people can be so stupid. camped at night, and didn't even send a sentry scout. Looking at the size of this army, there are also eighty or ninety thousand people, and our sons and daughters are busy for half the night, only to find five scouts. If there is such a stupid general under the command of the last general, the last general will be the first to slaughter him. The matter of a general's incompetence and exhaustion of thousands of troops must not happen in the ranks of my left guard. ”
Sheng Yanshi has led soldiers for so many years, and it is the first firearms unit equipped with firearms in Datang. There is still some arrogance! Among the armies of the Tang Dynasty, if you talk about the ability to destroy, Zuo Wuwei is definitely the crown of all armies.
"I'm also wondering why Songtsen Gampo is so easy to put his hands here for us to eat. Could it be that they have a backhand? Sheng Yanshi looked at the chaotic Tubo military camp in the distance with some doubts.
This round of blows will kill at least tens of thousands of Tibetans. Your own rockets are being reloaded, and the most annoying thing about rockets is the trouble of reloading. After firing a round, the reload lasts less than half an hour. The enemy army has long since run away for such a long time. However, the Tubo people are still in chaos, whether it is Sheng Yanshi or Yun Hao, they all hope that they will continue to be chaotic. Until the second round of blows arrives!
Yun Hao glanced at Sheng Yanshi, this was a pure soldier. The understanding of politics is very superficial, sometimes for the sake of political necessity. Neither human life, nor the loss of the country, is nothing.
I don't plan to tell Sheng Yanshi so many dirty things, just a pure person just lives purely. Once a soldier has the mindset of a politician, a lot of trouble will arise.
When the sky was showing the whiteness of the fish's belly, the second round of blows finally began. The panicked Tibetan army had just woken up from the first blow. Some were packing up to escape, while others were still in a state of confusion.
Countless explosions rang out again, followed by brilliant orange sparks. The smoke from the dense explosion even had the effect of a dark cloud. Even with the help of binoculars, Yun Hao and Sheng Yanshi couldn't see clearly what was going on over there.
The characteristic of rockets is that they are fully loaded but fire relatively quickly. One after the other, filled with things that were half an hour smaller. However, in just a short tea time, a fine light was launched.
The artillery team retreated quickly, and their firing positions were easily visible to the Tibetans after dawn. Once the Tibetans rushed over regardless of life and death, those rocket artillery soldiers did not have much ability to fight back. The cavalry slowly pressed forward, protecting the rocket artillery as they retreated into the city. If the rocket artillery is attacked at this time, they need to fight with knives to delay time for the robe.
The sun came out, and the sun pierced through the smoke of the battlefield like a sword. Everyone saw a tragic scene in the world, and a large part of the Tibetan camp was turned into charred black. It was covered with mutilated corpses, as well as various tent vehicles and the wreckage of various baggage.
Some tents were still burning, and the smell of gunsmoke was so strong that even crows did not dare to approach.
After the second round of strikes, the Tibetans began a major retreat. Everyone came here just to grab something, and no one really planned to do their best. Among them Songtsen Gampo ran the fastest, and his tribe fell in the back camp. Two blows, not a single rocket landed on their heads.
Shortly after the first rocket exploded, Songtsen Gampo began to organize a retreat in full armor. Of course, he organized his own tribal retreat. As for the other tribes, the more deaths the better. Anyway, these people are a stumbling block to their own unification of Tibet, so it is better to let the Tang people kill them.
The most important thing now is to rush back to Tibet to collect the rights that should belong to you.
The Tubo people, who had lost their unified command, ran in confusion, and the Tubo people had a good sense of direction. The direction of running is always in the direction of the plateau, and none of them run in the wrong direction.
On both sides of the Tubo, a large number of Tang cavalry appeared. These cavalry did not attack the poor Tibetans, but only watched them. Watching these people flee like flocks, there are occasional escapees who want to leave the huge fleeing procession. The ferocious cavalry of the Tang Army will pounce on them like hungry wolves and slash and kill the Tubo people.
Poor Tibetans, in fact, only a few people have steel blades. Many of them even had bronze blades, and some simply carried large wooden sticks. Fierce warriors, their bronze blades can only leave a white mark on the armor of the Tang people.
As long as the horizontal sword of the Tang army followed the speed of the horse, it could easily cut through their armor. Huge wounds in their flesh!
Many people were split in half by the Tang army. The advantage in equipment allowed the Tang army to completely crush the Tubo people who were screaming "whooping" and "whooping". If it is said that the Tang army wearing iron armor also gave the Tubo people a chance to fight.
Then in the face of the Tang people wearing leather armor, the Tubo people only had deep despair. These people actually have three crossbow arrows in their hands, and their crotches are all high-headed horses from the Western Regions. When the proud Tibetans charged with their blades. But the men were running away, turning and shooting arrows as they ran.
A powerful crossbow bolt that can even pass through a person's head at a distance of two hundred paces.
No one could fight them in close combat, and the fat and strong Tubo horses couldn't outrun their Western Regions war horses. The Tibetan warriors can only play a game of their play. was shot one by one, and until he died, he couldn't get close to being within a hundred steps of people.
When the fiery red sun climbed three feet high, a huge roar was heard in the sky. More than two dozen airships, entrenched in the air like terrifying deaths.
Soon the airship caught up, after all, there is no need to climb a hill in the sky, and there is no need to turn a corner. The winding road on the ground is a straight line in front of the airship.
The airship flew above the heads of the Tibetans, and black things with sparks fell from the sky.
Huge explosions rang out one after another, and the rolling waves of air kept throwing people and even horses into the air. Countless people were torn to shreds by sharp shrapnel, and those who did not even have time to wail before they died.
Ahead was the Nala Pass, and the Tibetan cavalry that was galloping for their lives was forced to concentrate. At this time, the first batch of airships had finished dropping bombs, began to shake their huge bodies and turned back to their homes.
The leaders of the various tribes hurriedly commanded their men to rush to escape the Nala Pass. The Tibetan people and horses in the mountain pass are mixed together, and the density of the number is outrageous.
Yun Hao would not let go of such a good opportunity, and the battle had been in his precise calculations until now.
The huge airship seemed to emerge from the sun, and this time it was not a sparkling bomb that was dropped. But it's something even deadlier!
A huge tin bucket fell from the sky and burst open as soon as it hit the ground. Orange flames rose into the air, and the flames were more than three feet tall. The people and horses around the tin bucket all turned into burning fire people.
The terrible screams seemed to come from hell, and they were not human movements at all.
Burning men and horses were constantly rushing around, wielding their weapons desperately. No matter what it is, as long as you touch something, you will smash it. Even if there is their Lao Tzu in front of them, they will wave the knife in their hands and cut it down.
Tin buckets continued to fall from the sky, and the Kara Pass became a hell on earth. The flames were so thick that the sky became distorted, and the corpses that were intertwined with each other looked like chopping wood. Flames and smoke kept coming out of their bodies.
Gasoline combined with human oil burned extremely violently. The ranks of the Tibetans were cut into two at once. The team in front ran for their lives, and the team in the back tried to cross the pass. However, the temperature there was too high, and it was baked a hundred and ten steps away, and people's faces hurt.
I tried to flee on both sides, but found that more airships came out of the mountains on both sides. A round of oil bombs fell down, and the mountains and forests on both sides burned like two huge torches.
The Tibetans were forced by the flames to squeeze into the middle, and the fire oil bombs also pressed their footsteps and threw down buckets and barrels.
When they were huddled into a lump, the sparkling gunpowder bombs rained down again. Every violent explosion will set off countless people dancing with their hands. Su Dingfang, who was in the distance, looked stunned, but he didn't expect that the war had undergone earth-shaking changes.
In the past, if you wanted to chase down so many Tubo, it was definitely an ordeal. Even if the enemy army is chased, it will carry out a desperate blow. That kind of desperate fighting will bring huge casualties to his subordinates.
But this time, Su Dingfang witnessed with his own eyes how the legendary Yun Shuai fought. In less than two days, the Tubo people were already full of corpses. The number of people killed was as high as 30,000 or 40,000, but the Tang army did not hear of any deaths except for a few lightly injured under his own command.
Amid the flames and explosions, the Tibetans were in despair. Some people rushed into the fire like madmen, trying to run through the fire-filled mountain pass and run a way out.
But before they could get close to the fire, smoke began to rise from their bodies. Eventually, the whole person will burn all at once, and then they will mix with the flames. Become the latest chopping wood inside the flames.
Next, Su Dingfang saw a scene that he couldn't forget in his life. Those Tibetans who were still fighting in the previous wars. He actually threw away the weapon in his hand and knelt down to Tang Jun from a distance.
They...... Actually surrendered!
