Chapter 737: The first victory in the conquest of Tibet

"Raise your shield!" The leading general of the Tibetan army was taken aback when he saw the rain of arrows in the sky, and exclaimed in the Tibetan language, and the people of Tubo raised their wooden shields and rattan shields one after another to resist the rain of arrows.

The rain of arrows fell in the Tibetan army, the wooden shield and the rattan shield were instantly full of arrows, many shields were pierced by arrows, and some arrows crossed the shield and shot directly at people, after all, these wooden shields were too small, and two or three thousand people in the Tibetan army fell to the ground with arrows.

"Quick! Cavalry charge! The Tubo leading army was shocked, glared and shouted, and the Tubo cavalry roared out with scimitars one after another, and went straight to the Tang army to kill.

Fan Lihua was very satisfied when she saw that the first rain of arrows had killed two or three thousand enemy soldiers, and ordered again: "Crossbowmen prepare!" ”

"Shoot!" Fan Lihua drank cold.

At the moment when he shouted, the flag was waved, and with a "buzzing" bowstring sound, tens of thousands of crossbow arrows shot out horizontally, directly taking the Tibetan cavalry.

The reason why the Tang army is famous all over the world is because the cavalry and crossbow arrows of the Tang Dynasty are invincible, the crossbow of the Tang Dynasty is very strong, and no country can copy it.

10,000 strong crossbow salvos, the Tubo cavalry suddenly turned on their backs, heavy losses, saw the Tubo leading general stunned, this Tubo general was obviously the first time to fight with the Tang army, and did not know how strong the Tang army was, as soon as the battle began, he was stunned by the Tang army's crossbow arrows.

After the crossbow was fired, I saw a rain of arrows flying in the air, and the Tubo army counterattacked with bows and arrows, and the Qinghai guards erected iron shields one after another to resist the rain of arrows.

Datang is now very developed in the metallurgical industry, steel has long been widely used in Datang, Qinghai Wei iron shield is a person, and these iron shields are much larger than the wooden shields of the Tubo army, as long as you shrink your body, you can almost block the whole person, Qinghai Wei's equipment is definitely the most sophisticated in the Tang Dynasty.

After a clanging sound, tens of thousands of arrows fell all over the ground, and only a few dozen Tang soldiers were unlucky and were shot by arrows, and the difference between the wooden shield and the iron shield could be distinguished at a glance.

The suppression of a rain of arrows from the Tibetan army made it impossible for the Tang army to fire a second round of crossbow arrows, and the Tibetan cavalry had already approached them.

"Cavalry! Sortie! ”

With a wave of the flag, the Tang cavalry rushed out from both sides, all holding long knives and rushing towards the Tubo cavalry, while the crossbowmen also took the opportunity to retreat, and the infantry stepped forward one after another, pressing forward quickly.

The cavalry of the two armies clashed, and the ping-pong fought for a while, Qinghai Wei was really brave, and at this moment he had the advantage in numbers, and suppressed the Tubo cavalry.

Although the cavalry has a congenital suppression of the infantry, as long as the cavalry is not given the opportunity to charge, the Mo knife formation of Qinghai Wei can definitely teach them to be a man, the Mo knife is a very terrible weapon, when tens of thousands of Mo knife soldiers wield the Mo knife together, it can make people frightened, it is like a huge meat grinder, what to destroy.

And Fan Lihua first attacked with cavalry, that is, he used cavalry to block the charge of the Tubo cavalry, and then stepped forward with the Mo knife formation to cause large-scale damage, and when the Tubo infantry arrived, it was already late, and the cavalry were not the opponents of the Mo Dao formation, let alone the infantry.

The enemy general was desperately shouting and commanding in the rear, looking at the defeat of the whole situation, he was anxious and annoyed, but he refused to retreat, it was already like this, it was impossible to retreat, he could only fight to the death, and he could consume some more troops of the Tang army.

Fan Lihua sat on the horse, looking at the overall situation, the loss of the Tubo army has been more than 30,000, and Qinghai Wei seems to have lost more than 5,000 people, Qinghai Wei is the elite, even if she only loses 5,000 people, she is distressed.

After staring at the battle array for a while, Fan Lihua suddenly pulled the reins and rushed out with a loud shout, and the flying eagle who followed Fan Lihua was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Protect the mastermother!" At the sound of an order, all the special forces rode their horses and followed closely behind Fan Lihua and rushed towards the enemy.

Fan Lihua's mount was very fast, like a gallop when galloping, the cloak behind was torn straight by the wind, and there were enemy cavalry frequently attacking her along the way, all of them were knocked down by him with a shot, and it was difficult for Fan Lihua's silver spear to have a general.

Fan Lihua's intrusion made the already disadvantaged Tubo army even more chaotic, and the enemy generals found out about her, and they were not surprised: "Quick!" Catch that silver-armored female general! She is the commander of the Tang Army, and she will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold for catching her! Promoted to three levels! ”

When the Tubo army heard this, they roared and rushed towards Fan Lihua.

Seeing this, the Qinghai Guards naturally wanted to protect Fan Lihua, forcibly cut in, and blocked most of the Tubo army, but at this moment the Tubo army was almost crazy, this was their hope of turning defeat into victory, and they all rushed towards Fan Lihua desperately, although the Qinghai Guards blocked it, there were still hundreds of people who drilled through the defense line and brandished this weapon to attack Fan Lihua.

"Up!" Flying Eagle shouted, and led all the special forces to wave the Mo knife and ride the horse to kill, with their martial arts, these hundreds of cavalry are not afraid at all, but now their altitude sickness has not completely receded, and Flying Eagle is also a little drumming in his heart, in order to protect Fan Lihua, he can only fight.

Fan Lihua took the lead, the silver spear danced like a blooming pear blossom, blood flew, and he didn't stop all the way, and went directly to the leading general of Tubo.

The leading general of Tubo didn't expect Fan Lihua to be so brave, in the face of the encirclement of dozens of people, he actually rushed through, and there were dead souls under the spear, he hurriedly shook the reins, turned around and ran back, shouting as he ran: "Intercept her!" ”

Flying Eagle and all the special forces followed Fan Lihua closely, not leaving an inch, killing most of the Tubo soldiers who came over, Fan Lihua saw that the enemy general was about to escape, and suddenly untied the longbow, bent the bow and arrows, and the action was so fast, like flowing water, in one go.

"Medium!" Fan Lihua snorted coldly, and the arrow shot out, the dark arrow was like a black lightning, flying over the chaotic army, and an arrow hit the right shoulder of the leading general of the Tubo army, and the general of Tubo fell off his horse with a scream, lying on the ground and wailing.

Suddenly, the personal guards of the Tubo general exclaimed: "The general has been hit by an arrow!" Save the General! There was a burst of exclamations, which caused a lot of commotion.

"Kill! Capture the enemy commander alive! Fan Lihua shouted, and all the Tang troops rushed towards the enemy's main general.

The enemy general was wounded by an arrow, inconvenient to move, and could only be protected by everyone to escape, but where can such a speed escape, soon, the enemy general and the only remaining dozen or so personal guards were surrounded by regiments, and the other armies had already broken and fled, the Tang army chased and killed everywhere, and it was estimated that thousands of people had escaped.

Cleaning up the battlefield and escorting the prisoners back to the camp, soon the battle damage was reported, and the loss of 6,000 troops was lost.

As soon as she heard this number, Fan Lihua frowned, six thousand Qinghai guards, which is a lot, even if they completely defeated fifty thousand enemy troops, they still felt that this battle loss was a bit big.

After dinner, Fan Lihua summoned Fan Shui and asked him to bring the enemy commander to the tent, where she would interrogate herself.

Soon, the enemy commander was brought into the tent, and the military doctor had already taken care of his injuries and changed his clothes.

"Get on your knees!" Feiying and Fan Shui kicked left and right in the crook of the enemy's main general's leg, and the enemy general knelt down in front of the military case with a "plop".

Fan Lihua sat behind the military case and asked in Tubo, "What's your name?" ”

The enemy commander was startled and looked up at Fan Lihua: "You actually know our Tubo dialect?" He asked this sentence in the Tang dialect, and the picture was a bit funny.

Fan Lihua smiled indifferently when she heard this, and said: "Since you know Tang Chinese, then use Tang dialect, let's say, what is your name, and what is your official position?" ”

The Tubo general was obviously rubbed sharply because of this battle, took a long breath, and sighed: "My name is Geri Renzeng, and I am the general of Tubo Pingdong. ”

Fan Lihua sneered and asked, "Pingdong? Ping me Datang? ”

Gerry Renzeng's face suddenly turned ugly, obviously very embarrassed, and Fan Lihua asked again: "Who sent you to attack us?" ”

"Naturally, it's an order from the prime minister." Gerry Renzeng said, "In our Tibet, only the prime minister can send troops and horses!" ”

"Garqin Mausoleum, hum!" Fan Lihua snorted coldly and continued to ask, "Why did the Garqin Mausoleum send you to attack us?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Geri Renzeng couldn't help it, frowned and said loudly: "You Tang Dynasty led an army to invade our Tubo, and asked me why I came to attack you?" ”

His answer obviously made Fan Lihua very dissatisfied, the reason why Fan Lihua asked this was because Garqinling's approach was a bit unexpected by her, he wanted to understand the reason, Fan Lihua's eyes rolled, and suddenly said: "You guys are really stupid!" ”

"Nonsense!" Hearing this, Grenzin glared and shouted, "We are the smartest people in the world!" ”

"Oh?" Fan Lihua sneered, "Smarter than King Qiongnan of the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Gerry Renzeng was stunned when he heard this, and changed his words: "Our prime minister is the smartest person in Tibet!" His words have already admitted in disguise that Li Hao is the smartest person in the world.

Fan Lihua couldn't help but be secretly indignant when she heard this, even the generals of Tubo admired Li Hao so much, which shows how much shadow Li Hao has caused to Tubo. She said again: "The smartest person in Tibet? General Ben thinks he's a fool, I'm the Tang Dynasty to lead the army to attack, he can gather troops to defend some cities, but he wants to take the initiative to attack, isn't this stupid? ”

"Nonsense!" Gryren said in a loud voice, "We expect that after you come to our Tibet, it will be difficult for you to adapt to the weather of our Tibet, and you will be weak, so we sent me to lead troops to stop you again!" ”

As soon as she heard this, Fan Lihua suddenly realized that Garqinling had such a mind, no wonder she would take the initiative to attack.
