Although the Tang army's overwhelming crossbow array was terrifying, it was not unbreakable, and the next day the Hulu army used new tactics.

Camel City!

Camels are strong in vitality, and tall in stature, although camels are not produced on the Eurasian steppe, but the Western Regions are the camel production area, the migratory peoples of the Central Asian steppes have broken through the 36 countries of the Western Regions, and the plundered camels are not more than 200,000 peaks, although many are used as military food, but most of them still remain.

"What is this?"

Early in the morning, the commander of the army had just laid out the formation in Longkouchuan, and before Wang Xiaojie, the commander of the front battalion, walked back to the Chinese army under his command, the large clouds of yellow smoke and dust on the opposite side had already risen into the sky, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes and look at it in astonishment.

After a moment, he saw clearly that all the camels in the dust were screaming and rushing forward with their heads swaying!

This tactic is not a new tactic, the Western Turks have used it, Wang Xiaojie immediately raised his hair, pointed to the opposite side and shouted anxiously: "Immediately set up a crossbow and kill these camels!"

Amid the shouts of astonishment, the drummers also hurriedly set up their drums, and in the dull drumbeat, the well-trained Tang army also quickly unfolded according to the usual drills, and the herds of archers rushed out and hurled at the rushing camels.

But today's effect is obviously not as good as yesterday, the camel's skin is hard, the fat layer is still thick, especially in order to cover the charge, the camel in front of it is also hung with cowhide and other covers as a cover, even if the strong compound bow, strong crossbow, for a time can not knock down these behemoths, the archers of the Tang Army desperately roared and pulled the bow, buckle the string, but only the bed crossbow and the waist crossbow started to play, a small number of camels fell down with a wail, but this number of tens of thousands is simply a drop in the bucket.

Seeing countless bodies full of arrows, covered in blood and still screaming at the herd of camels rushing towards him, the archers at the front were already panicking, and Wang Xiaojie also shouted loudly with a numb scalp: "Golden drums are ringing in unison!" Bow back! The gunners stepped forward and stabbed the camels to death! ”

The inspiring cowhide drum and the golden gong that led people to retreat rang out together, and the archers dragged their compound bows and crossbows as if they were relieved and ran backwards, and the spearmen of the Tang Army at the front stood up from the ground one after another, gave up their shields and gathered together, gritted their teeth, and stabbed them fiercely in the chest of the camels that had already pounced in front of them.

In the wail, the scarred Bactrian camel finally fell to the ground in relief, and the scarlet and hot camel blood sprayed all over the ground, but before Tang Jun could breathe a sigh of relief, the Franks who ran under the cover of the camel herd suddenly jumped out and broke out.

"Barbarian!"

The Tang spearmen at the front had just screamed in shock, and the whistling air cracking sound was already coming, and the Frank throwing axe thrown by the whirling wheel slashed fiercely at the forehead and body of the Tang spearmen with a cruel scream.

Later generations of scientists once used cow bones to do experiments, the throwing axes can completely chop the cow skull within a few meters, as many as dozens of flying axes under the intensive attack of the interception of the camel herd of the Tang Army gunners immediately died, seeing that their captains are in disbelief in the forehead was cut into the axe, paralyzed kneeling to the ground, the morale of the heart was relaxed, and the front line of the Tang Army gunners screamed and retreated.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Frankish axemen, who were good at hand-to-hand combat, poured out, and the ink dripping into the hot water quickly spread in the front of the Tang army.

The Germanic people of this era did have a set of hand-to-hand combat, Wang Xiaojie watched his rear row of spearmen swarm forward to try to resist, and in the face of the dense gun formation of the Franks, he threw a burst of flying axes, and after the fierce axe cut through the formation, the tall Franks rushed in with their shields.

The shield lifted the spear that stabbed over, swirled around the body and the axe slashed at the weak point of the Tang army's armpit, one Tang man had just assassinated a Frank axeman with precision, and the other man's battle axe had already chopped on his thigh, and in the Tang army's screaming and falling, it was another violent axe cut down.

This kind of fierce attack was something that the Tang army had never seen before, and the army formation of more than 100 meters that was hit by the camel city for a time was actually a rout everywhere.

Hundreds of thousands of troops duel, just like a master's moves, no move every move is cautious, once the opponent has a flaw, the next attack is like a landslide and a crack, watching the vanguard strike work, disrupting the Tang army formation, followed by the brigade of horses and horses from the Hulu coalition again.

The cone-shaped Central Asian cavalry was divided into thirteen strands, seven of which ferociously entered the torn rift, while the remaining five strands were harassing the two wings of the Tang army, but they were about to knock on the side.

The cavalry of Xin Yunjing, the commander of the left army, and Gao Kan, the commander of the right army, all roared and went out in response, but their front army was not torn apart and crumbling at all times, and Wang Xiaojie was also completely hairy.

Poof! Poof! In the disbelief of the Tang army, the two lieutenants who retreated were cut down by Wang Xiaojie himself, his eyes were red, this person broke Goguryeo, and the rare fierce general of the Tang Dynasty roared angrily and scolded: "Dare to take a step back!" These two are role models! Xin Wenli! Zheng Youjun, you and the two of you will immediately take the jumping soldiers! Coordinate with the spearmen to counter-charge! Then there is the retreater! ”

The two lieutenant generals led the apprentices under their command who were dedicated to hand-to-hand combat to rush out with swords and shields, and the elite crossbowmen of the Tang army were also piled up to the high arrow towers, and began to snipe accurately, and dozens of them were killed by these apprentices, and the crumbling Tang army also had to grit their teeth and turn around to kill with amazing casualties.

The gunners of the Tang Army, who were forced to be anxious, almost took out the momentum of the old ancestor Qin Army, holding the guns in both hands, roaring and killing regardless of the past, like a rushing bullet into the crowd of ferocious advancing Frank troops, some Franks flew axes to knock down the Tang troops who rushed over, but they were pierced by the next spear, and some of them flashed in a thrilling row to cut off the thighs of the Tang troops who rushed over, but after all, there was still a time when they missed, and they were poked to the ground by more than a dozen guns.

The soldiers behind were mercilessly slashed with hand-to-hand weapons such as swords and shields, blocking the axes of the Franks with their shields, and the sharp Tang knives stabbed the Franks in the chest from below.

The Tang army, which had already killed the red-eyed, even held a spear and charged against the Central Asian cavalry that rushed over, although the result of the charge was that the two-legged infantry spit blood from their mouths and flew out dozens of meters, but one by one the nomadic cavalry was still poked through and fell in front of the battle with a wail, and tripped the cavalry behind.

In just half an hour, the war has entered a white-hot stage, at this time it is completely a stage of fighting for life, physical strength, training, skills, and weapons have become secondary, and now the fight is who is stronger! More than 1,000 years ago, the analogy of Zhao Hao, a famous general of Zhao State, was that two rats were fighting in the tunnel, and whoever was ruthless could bite each other to survive.

In the ferocious fighting, a stream of boiling blood stained the thirsty Gobi Desert of Longkou River red!

…………

While the clouds were gathering in the north, an equally majestic and savage army was advancing northward in the south.

In the warm period of the seventh century, when the land of China established an unprecedentedly prosperous dynasty, the snowy plateau also ushered in an incomparable prosperous period, and during the period of the alliance with Fujian, Li Jie brought it out from the Tang Dynasty, and the advanced science and technology mixed with Indian culture, and the political culture also brought the development of a rocket booster to Tibet.

Many of the children of the Tibetan nobles have served in the Beijing Division, and now the cavalry of the Tibetan army is wearing heavy armor, as well as the Fan knife carried in the waist is also a technique learned from Tianzhudi, and even many of them are produced by the handicraft workshop of the Beijing Division.

The well-equipped Tubo army was arranged in a stout column, advancing northward at a rapid pace, the cavalry as the vanguard, constantly patrolling around the team, and the neat armor step carrying the spear was also violent, personally leading the troops in the center of the team has experienced several setbacks Tubo Zanpu Mangsong Mangzan's eyes covered under the steel helmet are as sharp as eagle falcons, looking coldly to the north.

To tell the truth, this time the Tibetans did not want to make an alliance with the Fujian and Tang Dynasties too much, but Li Jie drove the nomads of the Eurasian steppe into the Western Regions, which really seriously affected their core interests.

The ancestors of the Tibetan people are the Qiang people, they have been accustomed to living on the towering and dry and cold Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, low, humid and hot and across the Himalayas Tianzhu is not very interesting to the Tibetans, since the day of the rise of the Tibetans, its strategic goals have been in the Tuyuhun of Qinghai, as well as the Western Regions.

The Tubo Empire in history gradually seized Tuyuhun in the Tang Dynasty's successive wars, and then took advantage of the opportunity of the Wuzhou Dynasty and the Anshi Rebellion to capture the four towns of Anxi, and the Longyou of the Tang Dynasty became completely bigger.

But now the Min and Tang dynasties supported the entry of various ethnic groups from Europe, Central Asia and North Asia into the Western Regions, and the consequence was not only that the territory coveted by the Tibetans for a long time was wasted, but also that the Tibetans in turn had to defend against these more barbaric peoples attacking the plateau.

In this case, the upper echelons of Tibet were finally divided, and the southern faction supported Zanmeng Chimarun and advocated sitting and watching, and the northern faction even included the old department of Ludong Zan, who actively advocated cooperation with the Great Min, and brazenly took the troops directly to Qinghai, where he and the Tang Dynasty Prime Minister Li Jingxuan met in Qinghai Lake to jointly deal with the Min and Tang Dynasties in the Western Regions.

Straddled on top of a sturdy Tibetan horse, boasting of the standard Tubo warrior armor, holding a shield with outer fur and rattan rolled inside, Mangsong Mangzan's heart was like a wildfire burning.

The Tang Emperor has promised to cut Tuguhun to Tubo, and abolish the four towns of Anxi, if he wins this battle, he will bring more than double the territorial expansion, he Mangsong Mangzan should also become the greatest Tubo Zampu since the first king Songtsan Gampo, every time I think of these, Mangsong Mangzan is blood boiling.

As long as the hundreds of thousands of scattered sand-like Hulu barbarians and the main force of the Tang Dynasty are inextricably fighting, and the elite Tubo cavalry is stabbed into their flanks, everything can be achieved!

But just when Mangsong Mangzan was excited, the Tubo cavalry of the cold army suddenly returned in a hurry, separated the four guards and guards, and anxiously galloped to Mangsong Mangzan's military horse, and anxiously turned over and dismounted to report.

"Zampu, the Min and Tang troops are found blocking the road ahead!"

After all, Li Jie was too influential in Tubo, and when he heard the news of the Fujian and Tang Army, more than a dozen Dongdai generals were shocked and stopped in fear.

Mangsong Mangzan had suffered too many losses in Li Jie's hands, and listening to the report of his subordinates, he was also excited, and hurriedly leaned forward and asked, "How many people are there?" Who is the tour leader? ”

"Back to Zampu, two thousand infantry, five hundred horse troops, and a Zhonglang surnamed Song will lead the army!"

When Leng Buding heard this surname, Mangsong Mangzan's eyelids couldn't help but beat violently, and after hesitating for a moment, Mangsong Mangzan couldn't help but raise his hand forward suddenly, and ordered: "The whole army stops, wait for Benzanpu to look forward for a while, and then make a decision!"

The four guards cavalry, composed of more than 5,000 noble children, rushed up wildly, and arrived at the front army in a moment, and it was really just as the reconnaissance cavalry reported, just 2,500 soldiers and horses, led by an unknown unknown person, blocked the main road to Xizhou.

But it's really strange, if Li Jie wants to stop Tubo from intervening in the war, this bit of soldiers and horses is not enough for 70,000 Tubo elites to stuff their teeth, but if they don't stop Tubo, why send them to death?

The ambush was also frightened, Mangsong Mangzan personally stepped forward, and shouted at the Min and Tang troops blocking the road opposite: "Who dares to block the road of Benzanpu!" Aren't you afraid that my Tibetan army will trample you into flesh? ”

"The last general is very afraid!"

With the arrival of the four guards, the Min and Tang armies on the opposite side were also wide open, and a slightly chubby Min and Tang Zhonglang slowly came out wrapped in the armor of the whole body.

He was really honest, looking at Mangsong Mangzan's round eyes, he revealed Li Jie's deployment in one hundred and fifty ten.

"The last general arrived here as a vanguard, and behind the last general, there are 30,000 Guanning iron cavalry of the hussar general Su Dingfang, the left and right guards of the black-toothed general, and more than 50,000 soldiers from Tianzhu Mansion, who are outflanking in two ways, and it won't be long before Zampu's army will surround this area of Dangjin Pass!"

"Zampu, we are also old friends, listen to the last general's advice, go back! His Majesty the Emperor is bound to win this battle! Tubo and Fujian and Tang have been diplomatic relations for many years, and this time His Majesty promised to give Tuyuhun to Tubo, for the sake of the friendship between the two countries, they can't meet each other in arms! ”

Holding his fists, Song Jing can definitely be regarded as a bitter woman, and he put his heart in his heart, but after he finished speaking, Mangsong Mangzan's shocked eyes were round, his eyes were blood-red and staring at him, and Song Jing looked straight hair, and pointed to his nose again.

"Zampu, don't you know the last general? The last general, it is Song Jing who compares polo with you in the Duhu Mansion in the river! ”

Mangsong Mangzan not only knows Song Jing, even if he turns to ashes, he also knows! Before Song Jing finished speaking, Mangsong Mangzan had already roared out like a wounded wolf, drew his knife and pointed at Song Jing's head and howled wolf.

"Follow your Zampu, kill this Min bastard!"

Seeing that all the spears of the four guards were put down, the cavalry behind them drew their swords neatly, and the sound of the clatter almost made Song Jing fall off the horse.

"That, Zampu, my lady called me back to eat, next time I have a good time with Zampu, retreat! All retreat! While running and shouting, Song Jing didn't look fat, he ran fast enough, and before the four guards finished preparing for the formation, he had already run back to the military formation, and the Min and Tang infantry also prepared war horses, which seemed to be just for the sake of slipping, and in a blink of an eye, 2,500 people rode on horses, and the girl slipped north.

After eating a mouthful of dust, Mangsong Mangzan almost vomited blood, his eyes chased Song Jing's banner, and he also kicked the war horse violently, and thousands of four guards and cavalry also followed behind and ran out wildly, looking at Mangsong Mangzan's gritted teeth, it seemed as if he must swallow Song Jing's fat man.
