Zheng He led light cavalry, so it was naturally impossible for him to directly attack the enemy camp like the heavy cavalry.
He was on horseback and rushed straight towards the Tibetan camp. Then when he approached the Tibetan camp, he drew his bow and arrow and shot an arrow at the soldiers in the camp.
After completing the archery, Zheng He immediately pulled the reins of the horse, controlled the horse to turn, and circled close to the military camp.
The Qiang knights following Zheng He also rushed to the edge of the military camp to shoot arrows, and then immediately rode away around the military camp.
The Tibetan people in the military camp were miserable. They were baptized by a hail of arrows while standing in the military camp, so frightened that the Tubo civilians fell to the ground.
The remaining Tibetan soldiers did not dare to leave the camp to fight, and could only order the civilians to raise their shields for defense.
Zheng He led all the light cavalry to finish shooting arrows and assembled on the other side of the military camp. Seeing that the morale of his men was rising, he led the horsemen for another close attack.
Ma Wulang stood on the city wall and watched the cavalry led by Zheng He move towards the Tibetan military camp. He also let out bursts of cheers.
Is this the army of King Jianning? This is too powerful!
Ma Wulang knew that the Jiedushi had originally ordered them to garrison to the west of Wuwei in order to defend against King Jianning.
Looking at it now, such a group of cavalry under the command of King Jianning can actually overwhelm the Tibetan army of thousands of people.
The Chishui Army no longer had any intention of confronting King Jianning, and all that was left was to admire King Jianning's army.
Seeing that the Tubo people were still huddled in the military camp and did not dare to come out, Ma Wulang shouted again!
Being trapped in the fortress for the past few days has exhausted the soldiers.
Seeing that the Tibetan soldiers who slaughtered their own army and besieged them were defeated, the whole Chishui army was excited and applauded one after another.
Even the captain of this castle couldn't help but applaud Zheng He. Although the training of this cavalry was not to charge, and their cooperation was not tacit understanding, their excellent riding skills made up for the shortcomings in coordination.
After another charge, Zheng He had completely discovered the strength of the Tubo army. At this time, Yu Chixin's vanguard army had entered the battlefield.
"The army has arrived! The army has arrived!"
I don't know who shouted, but I saw a brand new flag appearing on the distant horizon, with the word "Yuchi" written on it.
Yuchi’s letter!
Everyone in the Chishui Army knew that Yu Chixin was a general under King Jianning, and he used troops like a god!
Now that Yuchixin's flag appears, this means that Zhangye City's army is on the attack in full force!
"King Jianning is here! These dogs are dead!"
"King Jianning is here! Everyone is saved!"
"Long live King Jianning! Long live!"
Cheers like mountains and tsunamis rang out, and the Chishui Army completely forgot that half a month ago, their mission was to defend King Jianning.
Even the captain in the castle did not stop the soldiers from shouting. Compared with the Tubo people who besieged them, King Jianning was the king of the Tang Dynasty, and the struggle with King Jianning was between the Hexi Jiedushi Mansion and King Jianning.
struggle.
Even if he loses to King Jianning, he will at most be liquidated and discharged from the army.
But if he were caught by the Tubo people, his life would be worse than death.
Cheers rang out in the three castles. Yu Chixin was on horseback. Following his military order, the soldiers formed a square formation and walked towards the Tibetan military camp in an upright manner.
"One two one!"
"One two one!"
The officers shouted commands and the soldiers marched in order. This infantry phalanx was so oppressive that the Tubo people in the military camp were frightened.
The commander Dai Ze left behind in the military camp was the supreme commander of the camp. He saw the Tang army's formation approaching the camp step by step and could no longer suppress the fear in his heart.
He quickly called his cronies and said:
"Before the general left, he told me to love every soldier as a brother. Now that Jianning Moluo's army has arrived, we will definitely not be able to defend it. I am going to lead my troops to join the general. What do you think?
"
Not only the commander, but also the officers below did not want to defend. They all nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone agreed, the commander said: "Then notify the soldiers, get their weapons and dry food, and leave the camp immediately to assemble."
At this time, an officer asked: "Wise captain, what about the civilian men in the camp?"
In order to attack the east and west, Dai Ze allowed five thousand civilians to enter the camp and pretend to be soldiers. Today, there are six thousand people in the Tubo camp, and only one thousand are regular troops.
The captain immediately said: "The general only asked me to love the soldiers. Those humble civilians are not my brothers! Bringing them with them can only be a burden. Gather the army quickly and leave those civilians alone!"
The officers took orders one after another, and the captain also mounted his horse and prepared to leave the camp.
At this time, another scream of terror came from the Tibetan camp.
The commander walked out of the tent and saw a strange spherical thing floating above the head of Tang Jun.
This thing floated in the air and flew towards the Tibetan camp.
What is this!?
The captain looked at the sky in horror and quickly ordered his men to retreat quickly.
Magoro also stared blankly at the sky, what on earth is this flying thing?
Wan Xiangjun, who was flying the hot air balloon, was holding a telescope. He saw the soldiers gathering in the Tibetan military camp and immediately reported to Yu Chixin:
"Boss Yuchi, the Tubo people want to escape!"
Yu Chixin received the information, which was what he expected. He immediately told Zheng He according to the plan:
"The Tibetans are ready to run. As soon as their infantry leave the camp, you will immediately stick to them and entangle them!"
"Got the order!"
Zheng He pulled the reins and shouted, "Come with me!"
The cavalry followed him one after another and rushed to the rear of the Tibetan military camp.
Yuchi Xin ordered to speed up. Under the command, the army's formation did not change, but it moved forward at a faster speed.
It is indeed a strong army!
The Chishui Military Colonel couldn't help but admired that it was not difficult to arrange the square formation, but the difficult thing was to maintain the square formation during the march.
Ma Shitou on the watchtower saw a strange army in the center of King Jianning's phalanx.
A large number of mules were pulling something. Instead of moving forward with the other infantry, they stopped halfway.
What Ma Shitou didn't see was that the cannon pulled by the mules had adjusted its angle, loaded with gunpowder and shells, and aimed at the Tibetan camp.
Zhang Guangde held a telescope and looked at the Tibetan camp not far away.
"Lao Zhang, all gunners are ready!"
The adjutant reported to Zhang Guangde.
The main gunners of each cannon are players. After long-term training, these players have already memorized the principles of running and shooting, and can calculate parabolas just by looking at the distance.
"Okay, let the Tubo people have a taste of our Italian cannon, fire it!"
Twenty main guns roared together with Zhang Guangde's order.
And with the sound of cannons, the Tibetan military camp completely collapsed.
