Chapter 1009: Mountains and Flowing Water
After the initial battle, the two sides ceased fighting for two days.
The failed robbery of the camp was extremely depressed. It's not because of the loss, but because he feels that his "magic stroke" carefully arranged tactics are like a child's trick, and they were easily resolved by Xue Shao.
The crossbow felt humiliated. Now he felt that Xue Shao was not ordinary hateful, but he couldn't figure out where the hatefulness was for a while.
In current terms, it is probably because Xue Shao has been "pretending to be invisible". Because he was too high, this had already greatly hurt the self-esteem of the crossbow.
At the same time, there was another layer of reason that made the crossbow feel depressed, and he felt that he had nothing to do with Xue Shao. Of all his war-related memories and cognitions, the Iron Cavalry of the Plateau was absolutely invincible in the world. It is not surprising that 10,000 iron cavalry broke the 100,000 army of the Central Plains.
But how did it change when it was your turn to fight?
The young Tibetan Zampu felt an unprecedented distress and uneasiness. He would even miss the Galchin Mausoleum by chance...... If he was directing the battle, what would the situation be?
But war never gives anyone too much opportunity to hesitate and regret.
There is a saying that you will die while you are sick. That's what Xue Shao did.
After resting for two days, the Great Zhou army marched towards the Tubo camp with the Seven Army's Six Flower Array as the tactics.
Xue Shao came victorious, and took advantage of the fluctuating morale of the Tubo army to launch an active attack!
When he heard the news, he almost jumped up, "Is Xue Shao crazy?!" ”
In fact, most of the big treatises, small discourses and generals under his command also had such feelings at the first time - is Xue Shao crazy?
With the inferior Central Plains soldiers and horses, they dared to take the initiative to launch an attack on the Tibetan iron cavalry on the plateau!
There was once only one person who did such a thing, and then he failed miserably. That person was Xue Rengui.
Now, almost in the same place, Xue Shao, who was from the same clan, did the same thing.
100,000 men advanced steadily, the foot soldiers roared in three steps, and the cavalry marched in unison. Sixty-four military vehicles all pulled up snare drums more than one person high, and the bare-chested sturdy men wielded a giant hammer, beating the war drums to the beat of the Tang Dynasty's military song "Big Horn Song", crying ghosts and gods.
Qinghai Lake, the waves are rolling.
In mid-air, the wind surged.
Xue Shao rode with fire ears in full wear, with the Taiyi Imperial Sword hanging on his waist, and walked in the center of the guards of the Qinxun Yue Rider with a expressionless face and no anger.
This army no longer needs Xue Shao's hysterical morale. There is no need for him to take the lead in killing the enemy.
Xue Shao is here, and the soul of this army is there.
Xue Shao is here, and victory will be within reach!
This is the confidence and blood of the 100,000 Da Zhou men in front of him.
After finishing the drums, Xue Shao said to the flag bearer beside him: "I want to listen to the military song of the dancing army." ”
After the flag bearer waved the red flag, and the sixty-four snare drums beat the beat, the rapid and passionate drum beat vibrated violently.
Hearing this beat, Xue Chuyu, who was in charge of the Jumping Army, suddenly boiled with blood in his heart.
Even the eye circles are red.
"How many people are still in the Jumping Army in the past?" He turned around and asked aloud.
"All there!" Three thousand soldiers, singing loudly.
Xue Chuyu has never been a moody person, and he doesn't like flamboyant and out-of-character performances even more. But today, for the first time, he tore open his throat and sang a song that was not good.
"The sky is vast, the flag is flying!
Blue Sky Dome, Vast Hunting Ground! ……”
Three thousand danced, very skillfully singing in unison this military song created by their predecessors.
The momentum is like a flood, and the three armies are excited!
100,000 soldiers, like a huge city made of steel, marched steadily as if they were crushed.
In the large camp of Tibet, a crowd shouted horses and neighed in the dust. The enemy has come to the door of the house, and they are urgently assembling and preparing for battle.
Whether angry or depressed, the crossbow can't care about these emotions. Right now, he only wants to do one thing: fight with Xue Shao at all costs!
"A soldier can be killed, not to mention the king of a country!"
In the Zhou army's formation, Xue Shao raised his hand and waved the red flag behind him. The officers and men of the whole army shouted three times, and 100,000 soldiers and horses stopped neatly.
The standard Seven Armies Six Flower Array.
It is like a pair of heavenly gods, and the soldiers of the Seventh Army are neatly placed on this plateau.
100,000 men, as quiet as a mountain!
Only some of the sergeants of the left army and the right army, Dang Jinbi and Guo Dafeng, were busy in a tense and disorderly manner. They were using earth to drive the launch tower of the Fuyuan Giant Crossbow.
Looking down from the sky, Xue Shao seemed to be quite "kind" to take care of the Tubo cavalry. Because he stopped four or five miles away from the Tibetan camp, this left a sufficient room for the Tibetan iron cavalry to sprint.
The crossbow didn't want to say anything, so he only gave an order: kill out and fight with Xue Shao to the end!
Whether it's big or small, it has become an ornament in front of the dignity of young Zampu.
A large number of Tibetan iron horsemen rushed to kill with billowing smoke and dust.
Xue Shao's left and right armies quickly adjusted the firing angles of the Fuyuan Giant Crossbow and locked onto the center of the battlefield where the Tubo cavalry would appear in dense. The two armies just formed the kind of "crossfire" that Xue Shao wanted most.
In Xue Shao's view, it is much simpler, faster and more economical to transform the ready-made Fuyuan giant crossbow into a long-range firearm than to build a new batch of cannons. Because of what kind of output and level the current steel industry in Dazhou is, Xue Shao knows better than anyone. On the basis of such inferior characteristics and technology, it is not an overnight effort to create a large number of firearms that can be used for the army.
The Tibetan cavalry came.
100,000 boys are still as quiet as the mountains.
The Fuyuan giant crossbow exploded like thunder in the enemy group of Tibet, and black clouds rolled up, and people turned on their backs and screamed to the sky.
Xue Shao raised his hand, and the six big red flags behind him waved at the same time.
The Seventh Army and Six Flower Formations were launched in advance.
On the battlefield of dozens of miles, 100,000 men raised their swords and guns and shouted loudly, moving and rushing to kill in a regular manner.
The tactics of the Tibetan cavalry can only be one, charging in a straight line.
Because Xue Shao only left them four or five miles of room to maneuver, unless they immediately dismantle their barracks and arrange them into other battle formations in the military village, they can only be like a small group of men and horses forming a straight line and rushing towards Xue Shao's Seventh Army and Six Flower Formations.
The devil is in the details.
This is where Xue Shao is the most shrewd and cunning. He left room for the cavalry to charge, but he would not let his hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen rush out at the same time. This forced the crossbow to be able to "break into pieces" and send out cavalry to launch a cavalry attack on the Seventh Army and the Six Flower Array.
It feels like a large bottle of mineral water has been lifted and then upside down. No matter how much water is in the bottle, it can only be poured out at the size of the mouth of the bottle.
In this way of fighting, the Tubo people's cavalry impact advantage and numerical superiority were not brought into play at all. Before many Tibetan cavalry had time to get close to the Seventh Army and the Six Flowers Array, they had already been turned into unjust souls by the Fuyuan giant crossbow and the rain of arrows falling from the sky.
"Zampu, you can't fight like this!"
Da Yan brought a group of officials and generals to persuade the crossbow to get it. They said:
"Our cavalry was blocked in a small space by Xue Shao, and they couldn't exert their combat power at all!"
"Xue Shao's big explosion is too powerful, once the front army is defeated, the rear army will inevitably be panicked, and there will be no more fighting spirit!"
"Our small group of cavalry rushed out, facing the overturning and slaughtering of his seven legions. Fighting like this, even if we have a million soldiers and horses, we won't be enough for him to kill! ”
The crossbow's head was about to be blown up, and he roared "shut up", and only after they were quiet did he ask, "Then you say, how should I fight?" ”
All the officials and generals were a little dumbfounded. Listen to this tone...... Zampu is helpless!
Da Xuan cautiously said: "The only way is to withdraw the whole army from the rear camp or the side camp, and choose a large open space to form a unified formation." Gather superior forces and launch a fierce attack on the enemy with a large array of arrows. ”
Listen to the crossbow, although this method is a little stupid, but it should also have some effect. He thought for a moment and then asked, "Are there any other good ideas?" ”
Da Zhu said again: "Otherwise, our army can only stick to its own formation, full of bows and crossbowmen to wait for it, and let Xue Shao's provocation not come out at all." When their morale is weakened and they return to the army, our army will rush to kill them again with one blow, or they may be able to win a big victory! ”
The crossbow's brow furrowed. He knew it was the best thing to do right now, but ...... How can I endure it?
When he was hesitating, a crossbow bolt of the Fuyuan Giant Crossbow "Super Level Play" actually landed near Zampu's tent from the sky.
The rumbling explosion almost deafened the ears of the crossbow.
"How can it be!"
The crossbow was already furious.
"Tear down the barracks and gates, remove all the tents of the front army - all the troops are assembled, and charge me with all my might!!"
More than 100,000 Tibetan iron horsemen, this time almost poured out. It was dense, like a black torrent gushing out of the flat ground, rolling towards Xue Shao's army.
The Fuyuan giant crossbow was tirelessly launched, and the rain of arrows in the sky was like a locust plague, and the dark clouds covered the sky.
Xue Shao sat in the middle army, his face was cold, and he was unusually calm.
It wasn't until the vanguard of the Tubo people and the Mo swordsmen under Cao Ren's division were at a stalemate that Xue Shao sent a scout to call Xue Chuyu.
"Chu Yu, this victory or defeat is up to you." Xue Shao said.
Xue Chuyu's expression was awe-inspiring, "Please give an order to Xue Shuai." ”
"Come here with your ears." Xue Shao beckoned to him, Xue Chuyu got closer and listened, and his eyes suddenly brightened and his face was happy.
"Brilliant plan!"
"Go ahead!"
The Jumping Army is like a ghostly knife, flashing out of the Chinese army.
The red flag was displayed, and the Seventh Army and the Six Flower Formations began to rotate and change positions. Except for the Chinese army led by Xue Shao himself, the Yue cavalry still held the center of the large array, and the other six armies all participated in the battle in the rotation change.
On Gongren finally waited for this moment.
When he pierced the chest of the first Tubo man with a silver python lance, all the love and hatred in his heart were like the blood in the body of the Tubo man, spurting out unscrupulously.
"Father! ――”
"Father! ――”
"Father! ――”
After roaring like this three times without warning, the red-eyed Gong Ren stood upright with men and horses, and with an angry roar, the men and horses shot into the enemy group like lightning.
He's crazy.
All the Tubo people who approached him only felt a flash of hallucinatory silver light in front of them, and then their souls flew away from the nine heavens.
His lance dances like a pear blossom falling from a tree.
His heart was broken like dust rolled up by a horse's hooves.
"E's majesty is like Mount Tai, and the ocean is like a river." After the death of the child, Boya was cut off, just because "Mountains and Flowing Water" had no soulmate.
There is such a person in the world, the more he loves something, the more he can't bear to see it incomplete or imperfect. If something like this happens, he'd rather give up or even destroy the thing he loves so much. Even if it is destroyed, there is still your own heart and soul.
Gong Ren doesn't know anything about "Mountains and Flowing Water", but he has already realized the same pain and despair as Boya.
