"Go, hurry up, Shancheng is about to be overwhelmed." On the rugged mountain road, a general loudly urged the more than 10,000 soldiers under his command to march.
This general was about thirty years old, with a Chinese character face, silkworm eyebrows, a serious look, and a few long beards. He looked quite heroic. He was none other than Wang Xiaojie, who was previously appointed as the deputy general manager of the Taohe Road March.
Before his current appointment, Wang Xiaojie was recommended as the Sima of the Anxi Protectorate because he was appreciated by the former Anxi Protector Tang Xiujing. Later, when the Tubo attacked the four towns of Anxi, he led his troops to resist bravely. However, due to the strong enemy and our weak,
, had to be ordered to retreat to the Liangzhou area as the first line of defense to prevent the Turks from entering the Hetao area. It was not until Heijichangzhi's army arrived to take over the defense that they went to support Shancheng.
At this time, Shancheng had been besieged for more than two months. Not only was there a shortage of food and grass, but the number of people in the city was also severely damaged. It was estimated that it would be very good if we could hold on for another half month.
Therefore, after Wang Xiaojie set out with the army, he immediately ordered a rapid march and requested to reach the gates of Shancheng within ten days.
It is only more than 500 miles from Liangzhou to Shancheng. Even if we march at a normal speed, we can reach the foot of Shancheng City within ten days. However, this road is all mountainous. If we march normally, we can walk thirty miles a day.
A few miles would be good, but it would be unbelievable to arrive within ten days. Therefore, in this case, Wang Xiaojie could only order an urgent march, and the earliest he could do was to walk fifty miles every day.
Fortunately, most of the soldiers under his command were accustomed to climbing hills and mountains, and they were afraid of Wang Xiaojie's military skills, so they were able to complete the task on schedule and were able to march about sixty miles every day.
This army of more than 10,000 people walked like this for eight days. They were only fifty miles away from Shancheng. After another day of rushing, they would arrive at the foot of Shancheng. But at this moment, they suddenly heard a voice.
The desolate sound of the horn came, and then a dense crowd of people emerged from the dense forest not far away. It looked like there were no less than fifty or sixty thousand people.
These 50,000 to 60,000 people surrounded Wang Xiaojie's army, and then set up a formation, actually trapping Wang Xiaojie's army in the core.
"This, this, how could this happen? Alas, my army has been marching hastily for eight days, and now it has almost exhausted its strength. And it is about to arrive at Shancheng. It is when the army is most slack, but it encounters an ambush. It's really
Unexpectedly, the enemy general was so shrewd and had such an accurate grasp of the war. It was indeed a very terrible deployment. From this point of view, the one who laid out this ambush must be the first general of Tubo, Gar Qinling!
I really underestimated this person."
This time Wang Xiaojie's words were not false. Because Gar Qinling was defeated by Li Xian, although he repeatedly emphasized not to underestimate this person, among the generals stationed there, there were still varying degrees of arrogance and underestimation of the enemy. They believed that Gar
Qinling was defeated by Li Xian eight years ago, and its own military capabilities were mediocre. It would not be too difficult to win. Although Wang Xiaojie thought that he had paid enough attention to the opponent, for example, this time
Although it was a rapid march for eight consecutive days, they never forgot to send out spies to avoid encountering an enemy ambush. However, since they have not encountered any disturbance in the past few days, the alert to the Garqin Tomb has been relaxed a lot.
However, he did not expect that the enemy army had strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. He had obviously seen the spies passing through safely and reported that there was nothing here, so he led his army to move forward. However, even so, he was still attacked by the enemy.
The ambush shows how shrewd the enemy general is?
Fortunately, Wang Xiaojie is also a man of firm character. He knows that what has happened has already happened, and there is no use regretting it. The only way now is to stay where he is, try his best to delay the situation, and then wait for reinforcements from his side to arrive.
So Wang Xiaojie remained calm and immediately ordered the soldiers to form a formation. Fortunately, the soldiers were well-trained and acted immediately after receiving the order. It only took a cup of tea to form a circular formation.
, spearmen, and archers were fortified layer by layer, forming human walls.
However, the Tubo army did not give the Tang army any time. The cavalry who had been waiting on the flanks launched an attack directly under the order.
"If the enemy cavalry is allowed to rush over, we will definitely not survive today. The cavalry will listen to the order and immediately disperse to the periphery. They must resist the enemy at all costs and buy time for our army to deploy."
At this time, Wang Xiaojie no longer cared about feeling sorry for the three thousand cavalry under his command, and decisively let them act as human shields in order to buy some time for the army to form their formation, although he knew that doing so actually meant that his cavalry would be completely annihilated.
, but there is no other way.
After all, if you do this, only three thousand cavalry will be sacrificed, but if you don't, not only the cavalry, but also all the infantry will have to join in!
Although the final outcome may be the annihilation of the entire army, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must not give up easily.
In fact, the so-called famous general does not mean that he will never lose a battle, but that he can make the most appropriate decision in the shortest time, preserve his own strength to the greatest extent possible, and consume the enemy's strength to the greatest extent.
Wang Xiaojie is such a famous general. Although it is still difficult for him to keep this team, the current decision is indeed the most appropriate approach.
Those cavalrymen naturally knew what it meant for them to resist at the perimeter at this time, but none of them had any resistance. They mounted their horses without hesitation, came to the perimeter as quickly as possible, and held the spears in their hands.
, decided to use their lives to fight for the time for the robes to survive.
The enemy's cavalry was like a torrent, gradually pressing in. The rumbling sound of horse hooves not only stepped on the ground, but also stepped on the hearts of the Tang army soldiers. They felt that as long as they opened their mouths, their hearts would fall out. However,
However, no one was seriously frightened by the sound of horse hooves. The infantry were all arranged in an orderly manner, while the cavalry were scattered on the outside. They calmly raised their spears and waited calmly for the arrival of the enemy.
In an instant, they saw the enemy cavalry approaching. All the cavalry officers and men had their beards and hair spread out and their eyes wide open. The moment the enemy cavalry came in front of them, they all shouted loudly and stabbed forward fiercely with the spears in their hands.
Failure to consider your own safety.
Only bursts of screams were heard. Hundreds of enemy cavalry were stabbed off their horses. At the same time, dozens of Tang Army cavalry soldiers were stabbed by the enemy. However, these soldiers were not afraid at all. They were on their horses.
At the moment of the encounter, they pounced on the enemy's horses with all their strength, threw the enemy soldiers off their horses, hugged them tightly, and then were trampled to pieces by the passing horses...
From the beginning to the end, none of the soldiers of the Tang Army abandoned their weapons and surrendered. When their spears were gone, they chopped with their horizontal swords. When their horizontal swords were gone, they jumped off their horses with the enemy soldiers in their arms, then bit them with their teeth and kicked them with their feet.
Until the last moment of death, he will never give up causing harm to the enemy.
"Although we die, the robes can be safe. In this way, our death is worth it."
"Hehe, kill one to earn enough money, kill two to earn one, today I killed three, even if I die, it's still worth it."
"Wang Laohei, let's compete today. Which one kills more thieves? Which one is finished first? Although you are better at martial arts than me, I must have won this bet today."
"Fuck your mother, Liu Scarzi. I have never lost before, and it's the same today. Don't get your damn ideas...be careful." Wang Laohei saw a Tibetan cavalryman slashing at Liu Scarzi from behind.
He went there and immediately rushed forward to block Liu Scarzi's knife, then swung his knife out and cut off the head of the Tubo cavalry, but there was a cut of more than a foot long on his chest, and there was blood
It gushes out like a fountain, making it hard to see.
Liu Scarzi hugged Wang Laohei and burst into tears, but he heard the other party say: "Damn it, Liu Scarzi, you won this time, I took the first step, but you old boy owes
You saved my life, so I took advantage. Hehe, I killed four Tubo thieves, one more than you..."
After saying that, Wang Laohei passed away with a smile on his face...
There are definitely many examples like this on the battlefield. Although the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty faced a certain fate, each one of them was fearless and regarded death as home. They used their own lives to protect Paoze's interests, even if they were fighting for a little chance of survival.
No matter what.
Although the Tubo cavalry had an absolute advantage, the Tang army's cavalry officers were all frightened by the desperate efforts. Many Tubo officers and soldiers could not even hold their spears tightly, and they forgot to dodge when faced with the Tang army's attack.
There were definitely not a few people who were killed by the Tang army's cavalry in such a state of mental trance.
Although the cavalry on both sides were engaged in a fierce battle, and after such a desperate effort, the three thousand cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty were quickly wiped out, but the infantry of the Tang Dynasty seemed to have disappeared. They knew deeply that
These brothers sacrificed their lives to win a chance for them, so they all had tears in their eyes and gritted their teeth as they desperately set up their formations, striving to build up a defense as quickly as possible.
Since the brothers use their lives to protect them, they can only live up to the expectations of their brothers by living well. Of course, this does not mean that they have no principles and no limits in order to live. They may be in order to better entangle themselves with the enemy.
He will never surrender. As long as he persists until the last moment, he will never survive even if he dies.
The brutal fighting finally came to an end. All 3,000 Tang cavalry soldiers were killed, and it also caused nearly 5,000 casualties to the enemy. The greatest significance of their battle was that they used their own flesh and blood to
It bought the robes valuable time to set up their formation. As the last burst of fighting disappeared, the defensive formation was finally formed. Only a burst of sound was heard, and the archers standing at the innermost layer of the team used the bows and arrows in their hands.
Vent your anger against the enemy.
The originally neat formation of the Tibetan cavalry actually began to become disorganized.
Fortunately, at this time, the order to retreat was given, and the Tubo cavalry finally breathed a sigh of relief and immediately returned to the rear... (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
