In the afternoon, a light cavalry team suddenly appeared outside Fuqi City. This team was very strange. Except for a few Tibetan soldiers standing at the head, there was a long convoy consisting of flat-plated ox carts. Three people were pulled on the ox carts.
There were more than a dozen large boxes, and the road was full of muddy puddles. The oxcarts bumped and trembled on it, and the boxes tilted and fell. If it hadn't been tied tightly with hemp rope, I don't know where it would have fallen at this moment.
In a puddle.
As they quickly arrived in front of the north gate of Fuqi City, the captain of the sentry on the city tower sternly stopped the movement of the convoy. The defenders in the north of the city had just changed their defenses and were probably too nervous. The captain of the sentry bent his bow and nocked an arrow, staring intently at
The visitor yelled and asked, "Hand in the token for inspection." After saying that, he put down a small basket.
The Tibetan soldier took out his badge and put it into the basket without saying a word, and allowed the captain of the sentry to stagger the basket up to the top of the city.
After the captain of the sentry checked and found that it was indeed one of his own, he nodded and asked: "What is in those boxes?"
The Tibetan soldier's face darkened and he said: "Is this what you should ask? If you miss the mark, we can't bear the blame from the garrison."
The captain of the sentry did not accept this, so he shot an arrow in his pocket: "Stop talking nonsense, quickly open the box and check!"
The Tubo soldier was so angry that he laughed and said: "Okay, okay. I will open this box and let you have a good look at it!" After that, he ordered someone to open the wooden box.
As soon as the boxes were opened, the captain of the sentry on the tower took a deep breath in shock. Inside each box lay a dozen Tang Dynasty women with heavy makeup."
"Open the city gate quickly, open the city gate quickly!" He was overjoyed and his eyes cast a ray of light.
The city gate opened with a rumble, and the ox convoy slowly drove into the city.
The Tibetan defenders at the city gate rubbed their palms excitedly and gathered around, unloading the box.
"These little girls are so damn heavy!" One of the city gate guards laughed and cursed, then walked nearby to open the box. The guard really cared for everyone and brought back so many beautiful women.
But as soon as he opened the lid of the box, he felt a cold light flash in front of his eyes, and a horizontal knife slashed across his neck! That Tubo officer could not be anyone else, but it was Chen Xu who had just made a great contribution!
Poof! A fountain-like column of red blood shot straight three feet, and the docile and beautiful Han girls in the box suddenly turned into Tang soldiers holding horizontal swords.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, Tang bandits have entered the city!" the sentry captain ran away, shouting loudly to call the police as he ran.
"Suddenly" an eagle-feathered armor-piercing arrow caught up with him. He heard a scream, and the sentry captain fell to the ground softly.
"Brothers, kill the hell!" Pu Dachui shouted, raised the hammer in his hand, and took the lead in rushing towards the 300 Tibetan troops who rushed over after hearing the news.
Five to six hundred elite soldiers of the Tang Army jumped out of the iron box in an instant, waving the horizontal sword in their hands and killed the Tubo defenders. Since crossing the Chiling Mountains, the Tang Army had won consecutive battles, not to mention the three hundred Tubo troops, which were the same number of Tibetans.
The army may not gain any advantage if they stand in front of the Tang army.
This was a battle without any suspense. The Tang army, whose swords had been soaked with the blood of countless Hulu, had a will as strong as steel. On the other hand, the Tubo defenders were mostly new recruits who had never been on the battlefield and were waiting to die in the rear.
Li Kuo watched everything in front of him silently. As the old saying goes, good training is for fighting, but it can never replace fighting. Only soldiers who have killed people with their own hands will rush to the front line without fear and protect themselves with swords; only soldiers stained with blood
The armor will not fade and corrode due to strong winds and rain, and will always be shiny and thick.
The slightly experienced veterans were scattered at the gates of various cities. The Tibetan soldiers in front of them were like young men who had never seen a woman's virginity.
"The first and second brigades attack the enemy frontally, and the third and fourth brigades go around to the flanks to harass. The rest of the people follow me to the Fuqi City garrison!" Li Kuo issued the military order and led nearly two hundred of his close soldiers toward the enemy.
The garrison of Fuqi City killed them.
The task of frontal impact was naturally given to Pu Dachui. He swung a hammer weighing several hundred kilograms and smashed it at the Tubo barbarians with great force. Every time he swung the hammer, one of the Tubo soldiers who came forward would have his ribs broken.
His mouth cracked and he vomited blood. Pu Dachui was like a tiger that had fallen into the flock of sheep, enjoying the delicious food in front of him.
"Come on, whoever is dissatisfied will have to fight with grandpa for hundreds of rounds." Seeing that the Tubo "warriors" who came around were so careless, Pu Dachui spat and cursed.
A Tubo centurion noticed Pu Dachui's bravery and was busy waving his command flag to direct and dispatch his troops.
"Kill him, kill the hammer-wielding Tang Kou, don't let him rush over!" The centurion roared loudly, the dark green military flag fluttering in the wind.
"How can you be a good man if you dare to challenge Grandpa and me alone, and rely on your brothers to provide shelter?" Pu Dachui also noticed the Tibetan centurion. The dark green military flag was too conspicuous among the gray armor.
"Brothers, follow me and seize his command flag!" After the Suzaku Regiment was reorganized and expanded, Pu Dachui was promoted to brigade commander together with Xian Yu Yucheng. Because Pu Dachui fought bravely and fearlessly, everyone was very convinced of him. Now I heard
His brigade commander gave the order to capture the flag, and everyone gathered towards him and quickly pushed towards the dark green flag like a sharp cone.
More than a dozen Tibetan soldiers armed with spears rushed over. They tried to use the length advantage of their weapons to stop Pu Dachui's advance. A burst of sharp stabs was very powerful. But how could the Tang soldiers under Pu Dachui put their own brigade commander in danger?
The guards with rhinoceros shields pressed up to protect Pu's vital points on both sides of the sledgehammer. The spear pierced the shield and made a harsh hissing sound. It was like the annoying sound made by a carpenter's hand saw cutting on a crooked tree. This hissing sound
The sound made both sides subconsciously want to cover their ears. However, the spears of the Tubo army were obviously not as sharp as those of the Tang army. The general pierced the shield but did not completely penetrate it, which gave the Tang army an opportunity to take advantage of.
The Tang soldiers who came forward to protect them saw that the Tubo people could not pull out the spear stuck in the shield for a long time. They looked at each other and kicked the shield hard. The Tubo barbarians were struggling to pull out the spear. After the other force
With each blow, they fell backwards.
The soldiers who rushed up from behind didn't even see the appearance of the warrior that the centurion said, but they were pinned down by their own brothers, crying for their fathers and mothers.
How could they stand up after falling down? The Tang army rushed up and slashed with their swords. In an instant, they chopped the Tubo barbarians who fell to the ground into meat paste. They did not cut off the heads of the Tubo people, but
He continued to rush towards the direction of the command flag with Pu Dachui.
Seeing that all the soldiers he had sent died tragically, the Tubo centurion shrank his shoulders, dropped his flag, and ran behind him.
Seeing this scene, Pu Dachui was overjoyed and shouted loudly.
"The Tibetan people's flag has been taken away, the Tubo people's flag has been taken away!"
The soldiers briefly thought about the behavior of their brigade commander, and they all suddenly realized.
"The Tubo people are defeated, and their command flag has been taken away!" All the soldiers shouted in response, and took advantage of this momentum to advance another twenty steps.
The run of the Tubo centurion completely shattered the already sluggish military morale. In addition, the order flag suddenly disappeared. More than a hundred Tibetan soldiers in the central army were pushed and pushed back. People were crowded and shoulders were pressed against shoulders.
, the curses of the Tibetan soldiers could be heard everywhere.
They do not seek to outrun the Tang army, they only hope to outrun their own brothers! (Note 1)
The Tang army, which was attacking from both wings, began to slowly move towards the center under the control of the two brigade commanders Zhou Wuxin and Zhang Yanji. They wanted to surround all the Tibetans without missing a single barbarian! The formation of the Tubo army became more and more chaotic, and the occupied area became more and more chaotic.
The space became increasingly narrow. As the east and west divisions met, the Tubo people had been completely made dumplings by the Tang army! (Note 1)
The remaining more than a hundred Tubo soldiers stood back to back, holding scimitars in their hands and staring at the Tang army who was tightening their grip. They were puzzled as to why the Tang army could fly across the vast red ridge like a magic trick, and then from the box
They didn't understand why the Han women who were still wearing makeup and powder a moment ago suddenly turned into elites of the Tang Dynasty holding horizontal swords!
"You're going to die anyway, fight with them!" a Tubo bannerman roared, and charged forward waving a machete. The Tubo soldiers seemed to know that they could not escape to heaven, so they gritted their teeth, closed their eyes, and charged forward with a roar.
Come up, they want to drag a Tang soldier to be buried with them before they die!
But how could the Tang army, which had an absolute advantage, give them a chance? Following Zhang Yanji's order, the Tang army archers in the back row stepped forward and shot these "brave and fearless" Tubo barbarians into hedgehogs in one round.
Xiaoqi was not dead yet, and stared at Pu Dachui with his white eyes. Pu Dachui jumped in front of him, took out a horizontal knife from the soldier, and chopped off the head in his pocket.
"Your grandpa's name is Pu Dachui. Even if you're underground, you still don't know who killed you!"
Cutting off the head and throwing it into the merit bag, looking at the billowing black smoke burning on the west side of Fuqi City, the man from the Tang Dynasty who was covered in blood finally let out a sigh of relief.
Note 1: In war, fear itself is often more terrifying than the enemy. This is why there is a classic tactic called rolling the bead curtain in reverse: Although this tactic is mainly used for cavalry, infantry can also do it. The key is to "use the weak"
Block the strong, attack the weak with the strong, drive away the main attacker, and all those who stand in the way will be defeated." Drive the enemy's troops to attack the main force of the enemy's army, and spread fear to the entire army. In the end, defeat will be like an avalanche. Only through passing
Strictly trained hoplites can form formations to defeat cavalry attacks.
ps: In fact, ancient China also had typical battles such as the Trojan Horse. This is based on the example of the Jin Dynasty's attack on Qiu Yao City. So today's children's shoes should not always talk about how advanced Western tactics are. Our ancient military wisdom is no worse than theirs! I
I have always believed that no matter what foreigners say about us, we Chinese must have some backbone!
Xiaoqi is growing, Liuyun is growing too, we are growing together!
