Zhu Guli is a rare brave general in the Tubo army. He led his troops to Tuyuhun before and was truly invincible, earning himself the reputation of a "sharp axe". But today, the ax has been sharpened.
Facing the tightly defended Tang Army camp, it was like a dog chewing a hedgehog, unable to eat it.
"First it was caltrops, then it was crossbows, and then it was bows and arrows. Is Tang Man going to be done with this?" Chocolate jumped in a hurry, but there was nothing he could do. He could only urge the soldiers to continue moving forward.
However, Zhu Guli did not expect that Tang Jun's tactics were not over yet. After taking a few steps forward, he suddenly heard a loud and dense sound of breaking through the air. When he looked up, he found that they were spears, and his expression changed drastically.
Because relatively speaking, although the range of a spear is short, its lethality is incomparable to that of a bow and arrow. It may even penetrate one or two people, and one spear can kill two or even three people.
Especially the Tubo army, because they wore light armor, were even more afraid of this powerful spear.
Therefore, almost at the same time that Chocolate's expression changed, the soldiers not far away shouted in horror: "Chief, spearmen..."
As the screams rang out one after another, and as the soldiers around them were strung together, the last bit of fighting courage of the Tubo soldiers completely dissipated, and they no longer paid attention to Chocolate's shouts.
, and began to prepare for retreat.
But just at this moment, the shouts of killing were suddenly heard. The Tubo soldiers looked in the direction from which the shouts of killing came, and then they realized that the soldiers of the Tang Army were coming from both wings to kill them.
Before the Tubo soldiers could react, they saw the Tang army soldiers descending from the mountain like tigers, cutting the already disintegrating team into three sections, and then started a mad massacre against them.
"Bold Tang barbarian, how dare you charge our army! You will die." Zhu Guli saw the soldiers retreating one after another, but he still wanted to turn the tide. When he saw a Tang general slaughtering his soldiers, he immediately rushed forward on horseback.
In an attempt to kill generals and achieve meritorious service, the situation can be reversed.
Zhu Guli relied on his bravery and swung the long-handled copper hammer and slammed it towards the Tang general. His speed and strength were both high and even he was very satisfied. He felt that he could kill the enemy general on the spot with this blow.
At the very least it will be seriously injured.
And when his long-handled copper hammer approached the opponent's top door, he became even more convinced of this, because the Tang general seemed a little confused and didn't even know how to dodge.
But I didn't expect that at this moment, the Tang general unexpectedly dodged sideways, and at the same time, he stabbed out the horse in his hand like lightning. Fortunately, the chocolate was in his heart, and he dodged desperately, and then he escaped.
After this fatal blow, Chocolate hid hastily, and the opponent's horse still stabbed his left shoulder.
There was only a soft popping sound, and immediately Chocolate felt a wave of heat wrap around his shoulders, followed by a pain that penetrated into the bone marrow. When Chocolate looked down, he found that he had been dyed into a bloody man. In an instant, he was completely exhausted, and even
It was almost impossible to hold the long-handled copper hammer.
Little did Zhu Guli know that the person he met this time was Zhang Wei, the strongest guard in Li Xian's house. It is said that this man's marksmanship has reached 60% of Li Xian's. With Zhu Guli's skills, he wanted to fight with Zhang Wei.
When he competes in martial arts, he is really overestimating his abilities.
And at this moment, another general in the Tang army camp, Zhang Wu, rushed over on horseback, swung the horizontal sword in his hand and violently cut off Chocolate's wolf-headed head, and then shouted loudly: "The general is dead, you must surrender immediately.
You can avoid death, otherwise, this is where you will end up."
As Zhang Wu's voice fell, dozens of people around him shouted at the same time: "The General of Tubo is dead, the General of Tubo is dead, please surrender quickly to avoid death."
The Tibetan soldiers had already lost their fighting spirit. When they heard that their general had been killed in battle, they naturally lost their fighting spirit even more. They panicked like a bereaved dog. The team suddenly collapsed. Although Zhu Guli, who was injured and fought hard to clear a bloody path, refuted the rumors,
In the end, this debacle did not change.
Zanpo, who was guarding not far behind, saw that her side was defeated and couldn't help but said angrily: "Chocolate is such a waste, he was defeated like this. Altai, Qie Ge, Hu Siwen, Manggu, you are all known as
Four tigers, today I will send you these four fierce tigers to fight together, a total of 20,000 people. If you still cannot capture this front stronghold, I will turn the four of you into four dogs, four dead dogs."
"Don't worry, General. That guy from Chocolate only knows how to use brute force. He can deal with those Tuyuhun people, but it is much worse to deal with the cunning Tang Man. The four of us are called the Four Tigers, not only because of their bravery, but also because of their
Because tigers are also cunning, this attack will definitely capture the Tang army's front stronghold."
Altai, the number one tiger among the "Four Tigers", laughed and said confidently.
Then the "Four Tigers" ordered all the soldiers under their command, and a total of 20,000 people immediately rushed towards the soldiers of the Tang Army who were fighting bravely.
Altai and others were very aggressive this time, preparing to annihilate the Tang army soldiers who walked out of the village gate in one go, thus wiping out the effective strength of the Tang army, which would make it much easier to attack the city in the future.
But they didn't expect that just when they were about to approach the Tang Army soldiers in a mighty manner, they heard the sound of gold ringing coming from the Tang Army's rear formation. Then they saw the Tang Army soldiers receding like a tide, and they walked away in an instant.
Clean and tidy.
Seeing this scene, Altai and others couldn't help but feel a little depressed. They felt that the punch was punched hard, as if it had hit cotton.
However, this feeling of depression disappeared in an instant, because they had a further goal, which was to capture the Tang Army's camp and massacre the Tang Dynasty's army.
"Kill!" Altai and others roared again and again, leading the army to attack fearlessly.
What they faced next were still crazy crossbows and spears. Although these crossbows and spears were still fierce, after all, they commanded 20,000 people, four times the number of the previous chocolate army, so a little bit of
The loss is completely bearable for them.
Therefore, this large army was still very close, and soon approached the Tang army's camp.
At this time, the Tang army seemed to have lost their strength. They no longer shot arrows or threw spears, and there was an eerie silence.
The Tubo soldiers ignored this and continued to run forward, but not far away, they suddenly heard a scream. Although it was daytime, the sound was no less horrifying than meeting a ghost in the middle of the night, which was terrifying.
In fact, the soldiers in the back row had no idea what was happening, but the less they knew, the more frightened they felt.
The soldiers in the front row understood that not far from their feet, there was a deep horse pit. The pit was also filled with iron caltrops, antlers, bamboo sticks, sharpened branches and other objects. If they fell, they would be trapped.
, they would be immediately stabbed or even killed by those sharp objects. Some of them were not dead for a while, and the shrill screams only frightened the soldiers behind them even more.
But the problem now is that although the soldiers in the front row understand the danger and naturally do not want to move forward, they are surrounded by soldiers in the back row and move forward. Many of them are pushed or squeezed into horse pits and endure the danger.
The soldiers who had fallen into the pit earlier felt the same pain.
And that's not all. Just when the formation of the Tubo soldiers became a little scattered due to being trapped in the horse pit, they suddenly heard the sound of breaking through the air. It turned out to be the crossbows from the Tang army's camp. They once again experienced the power of crossbows.
The pain and screams are endless.
"Withdraw, withdraw..." Seeing that the 20,000-strong army suffered more than 5,000 casualties, even Altai was shot by soldiers. Fortunately, the injuries were not serious. However, there were fewer and fewer soldiers able to fight, and morale was extremely low. Altai knew that there would be another fight.
There was no gain if we went down, so we had no choice but to give the order to retreat dejectedly.
"Trash, 20,000 people have announced a small front village. What do you think I will do to support you? Come here, drag me out and chop them all." Seeing the "Four Tigers" turned into "
"Four Dogs" - four bereaved dogs, Zan Po could not help but be furious, and immediately ordered that these four people and the previously defeated Chocolate be dragged out and chopped down. Fortunately, the generals interceded and their lives were spared.
"Hmph, it seems that this kind of petty fight is unlikely to work at all. In this case, our army will deploy all 200,000 troops tomorrow to surround his camp and attack day and night. If the enemy does not
If you surrender, we can build a mountain of earth and shoot arrows into the stronghold from a high position to see how long Tang Man can hold on."
Zanpo deserves to be a famous Tubo general, and this countermeasure is indeed the best way at present. Therefore, from the next day, the Tubo army surrounded the entire camp, and then divided the soldiers into two groups, working day and night.
In addition to attacking, the Tubo army is also building mountains of earth. If they are allowed to build it, they will not only be able to attack the camp from a high position, but also see the movements in the camp clearly. In this way, it will be very important to the camp.
The defense is absolutely disadvantageous.
Therefore, the Tang army was now in a very serious dilemma. They were attacking day and night, which not only severely damaged the defense of the camp, but also made the soldiers extremely tired, and the casualties began to increase.
If they are allowed to build a mountain of earth again, and the movements of the Tang army are completely under their control, I am afraid that this kind of loss will be serious.
Therefore, the Tang Army now urgently needs a precious respite. On the one hand, it must repair the damaged defenses, on the other hand, it must give the soldiers adequate rest, and at the same time, it must find ways to slow down the enemy's progress in building mountains of earth.
But Po Zan was not stupid, and Tang Jun could not order them. How could Tubo obediently listen to Tang Jun's words.
However, Li Xian had an idea. He summoned the generals overnight and held a secret discussion with them to implement a bold plan.
"Surrender? This, how is this possible? Your Majesty is a high-ranking prince, and his status is so respected. Doing such a thing would not dishonor the prestige of the court!" After hearing Li Xian's plan, a general immediately expressed strong opposition and looked serious.
