The war came so quickly that Yang Fan did not expect that Gar Qinling Zandhuo would not play according to the routine at all.
Having just received a report from the scouts the day before, the Tibetan army rested on the spot and launched an attack in the early morning of the next day.
What's more important is that Gar Qinling Zanzhuo used a life-threatening fighting style and did not care about the losses of soldiers at all.
Since the beginning of the attack, it has been continuous, and it is obvious that they will not give up until Yang Fan and the others are defeated.
Looking at the Tibetan soldiers who launched another attack, Yang Fan shouted condescendingly with red eyes: "Archers, prepare, raise one foot higher, give me a hard hit!"
But Yang Fan knew that if Hou Junji didn't come to support them, even if they occupied a dangerous position, they wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
After all, the arrows they brought were running low!
In the event of a close combat, even if the soldiers led by Yang Fan were extremely brave, they would not be able to withstand an enemy dozens of times their size.
What puzzled Yang Fan the most was that the Tubo army had been attacking day and night for two days, but there was no movement at all from Hou Junji's headquarters.
If it weren't for the inseparability, Yang Fan would have really wanted to run to question Hou Junji.
With another dense rain of arrows, hundreds of Tibetan soldiers were shot through, and their remains were scattered all over the ground!
The Tibetan soldiers behind cheered and retreated.
Gar Qinling Zandhuo's expression did not change, he just waved his hand at his own archers, and the two sides started shooting again.
Yang Fan and the others had a geographical advantage, but Gar Qinling Zandhuo had enough confidence in the shooting skills of the Tibetan soldiers.
He just hoped to find a flaw in the Tang army during the successive attacks. Anyway, they had a large number of people, and it would be the Tang army that they could not afford to consume in the end.
It's just that the Tang army's will to resist was really strong. Even though the Tibetan soldiers had been attacking for two consecutive days, there was no progress at all.
Even if some of the Tibetan soldiers were able to get close, they were killed cleanly by the other side's soldiers. Such skillful techniques made Gar Qinling Zandhuo frightened.
What's more important is that this Tang army is like a machine, tireless and truly an iron army.
But now Gar Qinling Zandhuo has been unable to dismount, and there is no other way out except to eliminate this Tang army.
Because the main force of the Tang Army in the rear had cut off his retreat.
After two days of continuous attacks, Gar Qinling Zandhuo found the weakness of the Tang army.
Judging from the arrow rain just now, the opponent's arrows should be running out. Just a few more rounds of shooting will allow the infantry to launch a full-scale attack.
Sure enough, two hours later, Yang Fan and the others had no more arrows. Gar Qinling Zanzhuo felt happy and thought that the opportunity had come.
Rows of soldiers forming military formations swarmed forward and soon fought with the Tang army guarding the main road.
Seeing the hand-to-hand combat, Yang Fan raised his horizontal sword high and shouted: "Stay where Zuoying is, and the rest of the people will follow me and fight out."
Yang Fan knows that passive defense will only lead to the fate of being massacred, and active offense is always the best defense.
Only by killing the Tibetan soldiers to death can we buy more time.
Yang Fan took the lead, and with a wave of the horizontal sword in his hand, a group of black-armored and cold-faced cavalry followed closely behind, taking advantage of the terrain to kill towards the Tubo army formation like lightning.
Gar Qinling Zanzhuo sneered. It seemed that the opponent was a boy who did not understand military affairs. Although the soldiers of the Tang army were powerful, they did not understand the tactics of warfare at all.
The Tibetan soldiers have already formed a battle formation. How can they be afraid of hundreds of people charging into the formation?
I saw the Tibetan soldiers under the command of Gar Qinling Zanzhuo raising their spears and knives, using all their strength to resist the attack of the cavalry led by Yang Fan.
Although Gar Qinling Zanzhuo made good plans, the next moment...
The weapons in the hands of the Tibetan soldiers were cut off by the long knives in the hands of Yang Fan and others.
What's even more ridiculous is that the weapon in the hands of the Tang army did not lose its power. It directly split the Tibetan soldiers in half, and blood flew for a while...
The spraying blood, internal organs flowing everywhere, and severed limbs made the Tibetan soldiers behind feel terrified.
Gar Qinling Zandro, who was watching the battle from a distance, opened his eyes wide in disbelief. What is going on?
Gu Lu
I never expected that the Tang army’s weapons would be so sharp!
Although we know that the smelting technology of the Tang Dynasty is a level higher than that of Tubo, we can still see that such a situation never happened in the previous confrontation between the two armies.
Little did he know that Yang Fan passed the exchanged steel-making technology to the craftsmen of Junyangfang, and the first batch of steel knives produced were equipped with the Guards.
It can be said that the horizontal swords in the hands of the Guards are the best in the entire Tang Dynasty. This is the superiority of the era.
Of course, although the steel knife is sharp, it is only a cold weapon after all, and it is not that scary.
The reason why it has such a good effect is mainly because both sides have used all their strength to fight head-on, and the Guards are carrying the impact of war horses. It is not surprising that the steel sword can cut off the weapons of the Tibetan soldiers!
In the first close encounter, the Tibetan soldiers suffered a heavy loss.
However, the Tibetans, relying on their large numbers of people, surrounded them again.
In their opinion, it was impossible for the Tang army to be so brave in every attack. Who could chop with all his strength every time he swung his sword?
Without the support of great strength, it would be impossible for the steel sword to cut off their weapons at once.
Therefore, although the first round of attacks had a certain impact on the morale of the Tibetan army, it was not fatal.
But in the close combat that followed, the Tubo soldiers felt frightened!
The Tang army was like a tireless killing machine constantly harvesting the lives of Tibetan soldiers.
Paths of blood were cut out among the thousands of troops.
The Tubo soldiers gradually discovered that even though the scimitar in their hands had struck the Tang army firmly, it did not cause any harm to the Tang army.
Then the smile on the face of the Tubo soldier froze instantly!
Because they actually did not cut through the armor of the Tang army soldiers, but were chopped to the ground by the Tang army soldiers with backhand swords.
This scene was too desperate for the Tibetan soldiers!
It's just that the weapons are not as sharp as others, after all, their smelting skills are superb.
But now the weapons in their hands can't break through other people's protection. Is this really a joke?
What I'm talking about more is that if someone comes over with a knife, it can cut them in half, but if they cut it, it will be no big deal to others.
Comparing the two, this gap can be imagined.
Therefore, even though it was only one round of fighting, only a few hundred soldiers died on the Tubo side.
But the Tibetan soldiers still felt scared and helpless.
Are these Tang soldiers humans or ghosts, and where did they come from?
Once or twice can be said to be accidents. If the person can't be killed after being hacked to death, it won't make people collapse.
With one chop from them, our people will be cut in two, and we will all be burped!
If we chop with a knife, nothing will happen to them, but they will turn around and stab us. What does this mean?
The Tubo soldiers were experienced in many battles, and they had never encountered such a powerful opponent or such a strange scene.
But how did they know that Yang Fan adopted some of the design concepts of later body armors for the Guards armor, and not only added many layers of high-precision steel wire and other fillers, but also added some high-tech stuff.
These armors are not only lighter than ancient armors, but also have stronger protective capabilities.
But no matter how strong your protective capabilities are, you will still feel pain if someone cuts you with a knife.
If it were an ordinary soldier, his actions would definitely be affected.
But the Guardsmen have been brutally trained. This little injury and this little pain is just a small case to them, and there is not even the slightest change in their expressions.
Therefore, a charge from the Guards directly defeated the Tibetan soldiers' mental defenses, and the neat military formation was instantly broken.
Many Tibetan soldiers even cried for their mothers and fathers and fled backwards.
