Section 355 Tang Tu War (5)

The main force of the Tang army has nearly 90,000 cavalry, 140,000 infantry, and 80,000 people are enlisted as soldiers (20,000 are craftsmen and masters).

The Tibetans used infantry as the main force of front-line resistance, although their infantry was very vegetable, but under the harsh military discipline, the Tubo infantry who did not retreat to the death still effectively blocked the Tang army's attack. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the cavalry of the Tubo people was like a flying bird, using short assault methods to launch fierce attacks on the left and right flanks of the Tang army without interruption.

In the two-day battle, the Tang infantry suffered 50,000 casualties, including 20,000 infantry and 30,000 people, while the Tibetan casualties reached 80,000, including 30,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry.

The wounded of the Tubo people were basically hung up, because the Tang army generally used the lead arrows advocated by Feng Xiaobao, if there were none, then use dung-soaked arrows, don't be stinky, people or livestock are fine, no matter how bad the conditions are, at least the arrows and weapons must be wiped with soil, and the requirements of those soil are "dirty".

At that time, there were no field hospitals in Tibet, so the injuries of the Tibetans were death, and even a small wound often cost them their lives.

The Tang Army was fortunate to have a "field hospital", which was quite excellent, and through the best efforts of doctors and nurses, about two-thirds of the wounded soldiers were spared, and at least one-third of the soldiers were able to repatriate.

……

As soon as the third day was dawn, the sound of drums and trumpets and the noise of the soldiers were noisy on both sides of the battlefield, and soon the two enemy armies began to fight again at the cost of their lives.

The generals of the Tang Army headed Li Jinxing and personally went into battle, and then Qi Biming met the enemy side by side with him, Feng Xiaobao's brother Cheng Boxi, the general A Yi Aer, and all the generals who could fight on foot were all on the battlefield.

In fact, Feng Xiaobao also wanted to be on the front line in person, but to stop the officers, Jing Dongling told a big truth: "The brothers need you to live, fight for the interests of the brothers if you win, and take responsibility for the brothers if you fail, so you must live!" ”

Feng Xiaobao laughed at himself: "It turns out that I am a businessman who owes a large loan to the bank, and the bank has to send someone to watch me, I should find a business female manager who is 1.7 meters tall, has a good face, has a prominent circumference, and wears a uniform with black silk high heels to accompany me!" ”

The many new terms made Jing Dongling, who was known as the "spirit fox", confused, and he asked in surprise: "What did you say?" ”

"Don't say anything!" Feng Xiaobao replied.

With the sound of the drums of the march, the infantry of the Tang Army lined up neatly, their military discipline was neat, the method of the battle formation was skillful and orderly, and the tacit understanding was coordinated, and the advance was very fast, and the attack was also very swift.

People are pouring towards the Tibetan people like a tide, and countless iron helmets are surging. Arrows from both sides flew over their heads, and from time to time soldiers were wounded by shooting through the armor, but the rain of arrows did not affect the battle formation in the slightest, and the army continued to advance in great strides.

The two sides quickly collided together, everyone used each other's weapons to desperately attack each other, the Tang army changed the previous method of concentrating the infantry on the two wings to fight the cavalry, but the main force attacked the Tubo infantry, quickly opened the defensive line, and even played a one-to-four exchange ratio!

In the place where the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army passed, a wide and frontal "blood road" was left, and most of them were the corpses of the Tubo people.

The speed of their attack made the besieged Liu Xianli see their banner in the telescope, and the two departments were less than ten miles away, and the contact was in sight.

The Tibetan infantry was heavily wounded and retreated in a hurry, and even the Tubo people who were enforcing military law were scattered.

But at this moment, the Tibetan cavalry assembled on the left and right flanks of the Tang army, with a full 50,000 cavalry on each side.

The horn sounded, and the Tibetan cavalry on the right flank covered the Tang army all over the mountains.

The group of cavalry rushing to the front were all big shoulders and round waists, fierce and vicious, all wearing heavy armor, and using maces, this is the Tubo heavy cavalry!

Although the mace wielded in their hands was poorly made and bulky, it was heavy, but it was enough, in fact, it was a big iron lump, and under the wave of the huge force of the Tubo people, it would definitely break the flesh and flesh if it was hit, and it was a real knock and a dead rubbing wound, which was a cavalry weapon, just like the Mo knife of the Tang Army.

Then let Mo Dao point the mace and see how it goes.

There are 5,000 Tubo heavy cavalry who led the charge, which is the cavalry of the Tubo people, and the Tang army against them has 3,000 Mo sword soldiers, under the command of Ah Yi and Ah Er.

Mo knife vs mace, it's really passionate to fight, no, it's sparks like electric welding, hundreds of electric welding flashes together, it's a big sight.

The weight of the mace plus the momentum beats the Mo knife!

Hundreds of Mo knife soldiers smashed the blood and flesh of the Tubo cavalry, but the Tang Dynasty soldiers were smart, and under an order, the Mo knife became a horse chopping knife, specializing in cutting horses.

A Tibetan horse (at least strong enough to support a heavy horseman) neighed and fell, and two Tang soldiers served a Tibetan heavy cavalry, one to cover and the other to cut horses.

The Tubo people who fell to the ground were quite unaccustomed to fighting on foot with maces, that is, the landed phoenix was not as good as a chicken! And the Mo knife soldiers are like fish in water, and the queue is like a wall, like a well-designed meat grinder, white knives in and red knives out, frantically strangling the enemy.

Ah Yi and Ah Er led the Mo knife soldiers to cut the wolf tooth cavalry, and they didn't know how many they killed, and they were so sharp that they were killed, and wherever they passed, whether it was the Tubo people or their war horses, as long as they were involved in this wall composed of Mo knives, after the Tang Army, all they left was a dead corpse.

These strange knife men are like a never-tireless killing machine. Although it was not fast, it rushed forward with a steady pace. Although the number of people is smaller than that of the Tibetans, they are like iron-clad beasts everywhere they go, slashing and killing all the Tibetans who resist.

More than 1,000 Tubo heavy cavalry did not flee by themselves, while more than 3,000 Tubo heavy cavalry remained on the battlefield forever, and the Tang army paid the price of less than 1,000 people!

Seeing the defeat of the heavy cavalry, the Qinling finally couldn't hold it back, and he ordered the Tubo army to turn into a large-scale attack!

After three days of fighting, Non Qinling understood that the infantry of the Tang army was not easy to mess with, and if the cavalry was not put into battle, the situation would be even worse, at least for the time being, there were infantry as cannon fodder.

When the signal for the attack was given, the Tubo army was boiling, thousands of horses galloped, and the sky was full of smoke and dust!

The smoke and dust brought out by the cavalry weighed heavily on the Tang army's body like monsters with teeth and claws, and Feng Xiaobao said with a smile: "On the Qinling Technique!" ”

The others are not as optimistic as him, and they are confident that Qinling is poor in skills, but the Tubo cavalry is powerful, if we can't resist it, then we have to go back to our hometown!

Sure enough, the Tubo people killed frantically, and the Mo knife that had just defeated the Tubo heavy cavalry waved, and the cold light suddenly appeared, and where the Mo knife fell, blood splashed. The stumps were severed, thrown everywhere, and the screams came and went.

It seems that the Mo knife hand showed his might, and the Tibetan people and horses fell down one after another like wheat that had been cut down, and then turned into minced meat.

But the good times didn't last long, when a Mo knife was killed to the curly blade and stuck on the human bone horse, their physical strength was seriously reduced, and the Tubo cavalry immediately took the life of the Mo knife soldiers!

This Modao regiment was wiped out, and the Tubo cavalry lost 10,000 horsemen!

The corpses are like a mountain, and the tragedy is incomparable. (To be continued.) )
