The battle was fought so smoothly that it exceeded the expectations of all parties involved.
The one who has been surprised recently is the Chishui Army in the castle. They have never fought against King Jianning's army and do not know the actual power of artillery.
But twenty cannons fired at once, and the ground-shaking momentum caused the Chishui Army officers in the castle to lose their voices.
What's even more frightening is that with the firing of these twenty cannons, the Tibetan army completely collapsed.
All the soldiers rushed out of the camp. Whether they were slaves at the lowest level or noble officers at the top, they were all fighting for the narrow way out.
In order to fight for a way out, the soldiers drew their weapons and hacked at their comrades.
The noble also tried to use his noble status to order others to make way for him, but in the blink of an eye he was chopped into two halves by the red-eyed soldiers.
But before the soldier could rush out, a slave on the ground hugged his leg. The soldier fell to the ground in horror and was seriously injured by his comrades behind him.
A few soldiers who were smarter climbed up the high wooden fence and finally climbed over the top of the sharp fence. They were hit by the cavalry's bows and arrows before they even landed.
The cavalry led by Zheng He had already circled to the back of the camp. Zheng He on horseback drew his bow and arrow and shot the soldiers who came out of the camp.
It's a good simulation game, but now it looks like a tower defense game.
Zheng He only had to mechanically draw his bow and shoot arrows, and the Tibetans fell down one by one.
At this point in the war, the Tubo people are left with only despair, while the players are left with emptiness.
What about the promised battle? Are these Tubo people too vulnerable?
Yu Chixin also sighed. The group of Tibetans collapsed too quickly, so he had no choice but to order the soldiers to charge and directly take over the Tibetans' camp.
The Chishui Army looked up and down at the Tibetans who had been arrogant and domineering and surrounded them until the Chishui Army was unable to fight back. In less than half an hour, they were completely defeated by King Jianning's army.
The captain in the fortress cursed secretly, this Jiedushi Fang Guan was so useless, why did he let them defend such a terrifying army?
If King Jianning came to attack the fortress, he would probably surrender in less than an hour!
Among the three parties, the most dissatisfied was King Jianning's army.
The players excitedly joined the army because they wanted to experience a great battle, but they didn't expect that only Zheng He's cavalry and Zhang Guangde's artillery would enjoy it this time!
Before the infantry could charge, the enemy had already collapsed!
Why did you fall down before I took action?
The players are very angry. Is it easy to catch up with a big battle? The cavalry and artillery gained experience and became the atmosphere team themselves?
Oh, it's not just the atmosphere team, the infantry still needs to clean the camp, cremate and bury the dead Tibetan soldiers, count the remaining supplies in the camp, and imprison the prisoners of war.
This person is not here to fight! He is obviously here to do hard work!
Looking at the cavalry players, Zheng He was feeding the horses fodder and water, and several other ranch players were also brushing the horses. They looked at the busy infantry players with smiles.
Gan! The cavalry is the master, right?
The players are indignant. The garbage army, which is about to be swept into the garbage dump of history, is still so arrogant!
Looking at the artillery again, Zhang Guangde was inspecting the barrel, and the artillery players were also pretending to be busy on the position. The hard work was done by the infantry.
This world is too unfair!
Several infantry players are thinking of converting to cavalry or artillery.
But thinking about the complicated equations of artillery and the high price of Longyou's war horses, these players gave up their illusions and just stayed as infantrymen carrying bricks.
At any rate, infantrymen do not need to prepare their own weapons and armor.
After finishing their work, the three Chishui Army castles also responded.
Even if the captain of the Chishui Army wanted to resist, he knew that he couldn't defend it now.
Prince Jianning was the county prince in charge of Longyou, appointed by the emperor himself.
Originally, the Chishui Army did not want to fight with King Jianning, but now it was because of King Jianning's army that they relieved the siege.
The officers also knew that if they continued to order resistance, the soldiers might cut off their heads to please King Jianning.
Anyway, they have no loyalty to Fang Guan, so they might as well just surrender.
The Chishui Army opened the door and surrendered, and Yu Chixin breathed a sigh of relief.
It is right to fight against the Tubo people, but fighting against the Chishui Army is considered an internal fight among the Tang army.
Yu Chixin still prefers to fight foreigners.
Recruiting the Chishui Army and counting the spoils of war, when these were completed, the already dark sky became even darker. Yu Chixin sighed and could only announce that they would set up camp and rest.
Two days have passed since the three days agreed with Xue Hu. Yu Chixin was sitting in the military camp, looking at the military map on the wall, and constantly making calculations.
We must leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning in order to arrive outside Wuwei City in the afternoon.
The news came from Xue Hu. Today, Dai Ze led the army to storm Wuwei City for a day. Dai Ze personally supervised the battle. The Tibetan army attacked thirteen times in total, but was repulsed by the soldiers and civilians in the city led by Xue Hu.
However, Xue Hu also sent an urgent message for help. The arrows in Wuwei City have been used up, and the falling rocks and rolling logs stored on the city wall have also been used up. The situation is very critical.
The Tubo people even scaled the city wall for a time. In the end, Xue Hu and Zhang Wu took the lead and led the soldiers and civilians of Wuwei City to fight back the Tubo people.
Send a message to Xue Hu that Yu Chixin's army will arrive tomorrow as long as he stays for another half day.
Yu Chixin was not worried that he could not defeat Dai Ze's army. He was thinking about how to defeat Dai Ze's vanguard army in one go.
This time the Tubo army attacked Hexi, and Yuchixin's defense was under great pressure.
Yuchixin only had 6,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry at his disposal, and the remaining troops were still gathering towards Zhangye.
Even if the Chishui Army is reorganized, it will not be able to gather 10,000 troops.
According to the news from frontline scouts and internal guards within Tubo, Shang Qixin'er's army will cross the Qilian Mountains in ten years.
At that time, Yu Chixin would have to face 40,000 Tibetan regular troops and more than 50,000 slave cannon fodder.
And Yuchixin needed to defend two entire cities from Zhangye to Wuwei, so the military pressure can be imagined.
Therefore, Yu Chixin must eat the nine thousand vanguard troops in Dai Ze's hands as soon as possible, and cannot let him escape back to join Shang Qixin'er's army.
But Dai Ze was not a fool. The defeated troops who escaped would tell Dai Ze the news of Zhang Ye's troops. If Dai Ze wanted to leave, Yu Chixin's infantry would not be able to stop him.
Daize's army must be dragged into Wuwei City.
Yu Chixin looked at the map. To the west of Wuwei City is the Donggan Canal, an artificial river that functions as both a moat and an irrigation ditch, together with the Shiyang River to the north.
In order to defend the city, Xue Hu had burned down all the suspension bridges and pontoons on the Donggan Canal, and there was no way to attack the city across the river. Dai Ze left only a small force to block the west gate of Wuwei City.
To the north of Wuwei City is a barren desert, and further north is the Yinshan Mountains that separates Hexi and Mobei. This is also a desperate situation for military strategists, so Tubo only sent a small number of soldiers to guard the north gate to prevent the Tang army in Wuwei City from breaking through.
The Tibetan army violently attacked the east gate and west gate of Wuwei City.
How can we eat the nine thousand soldiers and horses in Dai Ze's hands in one go?
