Chapter 94 Hook him out of the tortoise shell
Chapter 94 Hook him out of the turtle shell
Kang Yanju (now Changdu area) is the gathering place of the former Dongwo Kingdom. Although Dongwo Kingdom is a woman-centered country, the level of science and technology and productivity is relatively backward.
However, this is only relative. The East Girl Country likes to live in "heavy houses", which can be understood as buildings. The heavy houses that ordinary people live in are three upper and lower floors, and officials and the Rdsong masters live in six upper and lower floors, and the Queen lives in nine houses.
There is a season called the Nine-Story Demon Tower in "Ghost Blows Out the Light", which is actually within this range. Of course, this is not a demon tower, but the Queen Subi Palace. This building that is filled with pure stone and filled with glutinous rice juice is actually the best fortress.
The entire Kangyanju City is a jungle formed by stone towers.
Not to mention the era of cold weapons, even in the era of hot weapons, when encountering such terrain and buildings, there is no other way except for forced demolition.
Tens of thousands of Tubo troops outside did not take the initiative to attack, and Liu Tong and Xunxiang were happy to be quiet.
However, the silent days are destined not to be too long.
Peace will eventually be broken.
"Boom boom..."
As soon as the sky was dawn, a huge roar came from outside the city. I didn't need to look at it at all, and I knew that the Tubo people launched an attack.
When soldiers come, generals come to stop them, and when water comes to ground, soil and garrison.
Just as the Tubo army was closely following the hillside, Liu Tong finally launched an attack.
The first battle in Kang Yanju City was not the bows and arrows of both sides, nor the stone cannons, but the yaks.
And it is not a single yak, but a chain of iron chains. Ten yaks are in a team, with wooden racks tied to the cattle and sharp sharp knives tied to the racks.
Hundreds of yaks roared through the mountains and rushed towards the attacking Tubo army.
"Shoot!Shoot!"
"Call the cow, shoot the cow!"
"Another group came over there, shot there, shot there!"
"Cum, stupid, hurry up!"
...
The Tubo army soldiers exclaimed and shouted in anger. The Tubo cavalry raised their bows and shot arrows at the herd of cattle that were rushing with red eyes, throwing dense rain of arrows.
Their archery skills are accurate and they can ride on the back of a speeding war horse and shoot a hare in the distance with one arrow. The best among them can even shoot the eagle hovering in the sky with one arrow, making it no problem for them to shoot cows. In the blink of an eye, the yak rushing in front becomes an extra-large hedgehog.
However, yaks are not hares or eagles. They have thick skin and strong flesh, strong vitality, and weak bow strength when riding bows. Even if they use heavy arrows, it is very difficult to shoot a yak with one arrow. The yaks after being shot are crazy and have a more fierce impact.
If there was another cavalry wearing iron armor and holding a horse lance on the back of the cattle, no one would suspect that this was an excellent heavy cavalry.
Although there were no cavalry on the yak herd, the sharp knife on the yak's head could effortlessly strung the Tubo soldiers into blood gourds with great inertia.
"Bang bang bang..."
The dull sound of collision continued to sound on the front line, followed by the crisp sound of broken bones. The Tubo cavalrymen were on the front line, and the yaks flying at high speed collided head-on, causing fatal consequences. Whether it was a cow or a horse, they all fell down with a wail after a thunderous impact. The Tubo cavalry on the horse was thrown out by this terrible impact force, and their eyes turned black when they fell to the ground. Before they could figure out which bone was broken, the cow's hoof or horse's hoof was stomped over them.
The stomach is broken and the intestines flows, and blood is splashing!
Countless tribe heads had their eyes cracked, and their eyes were almost bleeding. The warriors of their tribe, those outstanding young men, fell to the ground and were trampled into meat paste by cows and horses.
Fortunately, the Tubo people did not have the tradition of collecting corpses and burying them or cremating them. They popularized the sky burial. The so-called sky burial means putting the corpses in designated places and allowing vultures or other birds to peck at them. Now it is easy to save trouble, and they all step into meat paste, which can save trouble directly.
"Damn bitch..."
The Tubo cavalry or attacking infantry were defeated by these hundreds of yaks and were in a mess.
If the yak formation was swarming against the Tang army, it would be difficult for them to exert such terrifying lethality under the heavy crossbow of the Tang army. It was a pity that the equipment of the Tubo army was too poor. They lacked heavy crossbows, hard bows, and armor-breaking arrows.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Tubo national teacher Yu Culture promptly reminded Ru Daren who was approaching the front line.
"Use spear!"
Although the range of the spear is too close and the effective killing power is only thirty steps away, the spear is heavy and has stronger penetration. Not to mention the yak, even if it is a light shield wrapped in iron, it cannot withstand the fatal blow of the spear.
Fortunately, Yu Wenji's orders were very timely. The Tubo soldiers, who were at a loss, quickly took out their spears and threw them at the yaks that were rushing towards them.
This move finally worked. Throwing a spear pierces through the cattle's belly, causing fatal damage. Many yaks fell down after being hit by a spear and could no longer get up.
But there were too many cows rushing over. Even if they had three heads and six arms, they couldn't stand it. The war horses were knocked over one by one. Fortunately, their formation was evacuated enough, and the main force behind had plenty of room to hide, otherwise just this round of yak collision would make them cry and pee.
Liu Tong and others were so happy that they laughed, and arrogantly shouted at the embarrassed Tubo soldiers: "Miscellaneous people, be careful, next time we will use the horses to attack you!"
Su Binazhen was still a woman. Seeing the seven or eight hundred yaks turning into cow corpses, her eyes were red with heartache.
Xunxiang comforted him: "Then Zhen, don't worry. In the future, I will snatch all their cows. If you die, I will pay you ten!"
Listening to this, Suvinazhen was in a better mood.
However, these seven or eight hundred yaks caused casualties in the Tubo army of more than 4,000 people. Although the lives of Tubo people are not worth it, it is not a loss to exchange for one yak for six or seven lives.
Ru Daren counted the casualties, and was so angry that he smoked his seven orifices. More than 2,000 Tubo cavalry were trampled into meat mud. There were many more than 2,000 injured. Three thousand war horses broke their tendons and broken bones, completely broken! Even Kang Yanju City had not gnawed a hair, and so many people were lost. Ru Daren was simply unbelievable. The tribe leaders were even more angry and did not need Ru Daren to give orders. They each commanded their own tribes to launch an attack on Kang Yanju City.
As the saying goes, one trick of flowers can be eaten all over the world.
Liu Tong continued to form his yak formation. Anyway, there were more than 5,000 yaks in the city and more than 3,000 war horses. With such an exchange ratio, he could use these more than 8,000 beasts to exchange for tens of thousands of Tubo troops.
...
Although Chen Ying turned the way towards Kangyanju City, when he was more than fifty miles away from Kangyanju City, Chen Ying ordered the troops to stop advancing.
This is a tributary of weak water (Canglan River). It is convenient to get water by the mountains and forests. There are abrupt mountains a few miles ahead to facilitate observation and setting up passes. Once the Tubo cavalry came over, they could use the steepness and slope of the hillside to quickly increase the speed of the war horses. The most important thing is that it is nearly five or six miles away from the entrance of the valley, which is completely within the best killing range of the hook and sickle cavalry.
In order to avoid fire attacks, Chen Ying also asked people to cut down trees in the mountains and forests in advance to create a circular fire zone and a safe passage for retreat.
Just when Chen Ying and his men were busy.
Under the protection of dozens of Tubo people, a man in black wearing a black cloak came to the Moldo Mountain opposite.
The man in black is nothing but the current Tubo national teacher Yu Wenhua and.
Yu Wenhe was condescending and observing the camp of Chen Ying's troops, then couldn't help but sigh: "Although Xue Shao was young, he was quite experienced in using troops. Just the camp he had set up, it was enough to show that he had real talent and knowledge."
Songtsen Gampo was a little dissatisfied, "National Master, most generals of the Tang Kingdom will arrange such camps, right?"
"Everyone can cook the food, but there are always only a handful of good cooks." Yu Wenhuaji shook his head and said, "I was fortunate to follow my father to fight together. His methods once surprised me. Today, if I hadn't known in advance that this army was commander of Chen Ying, I would have thought that my father had passed away again... It's true that hearing is better than seeing him. Chen Ying is less than thirty years old. Since his debut, he has won every battle, but he won without being arrogant. It's really awesome for the younger generation!"
Songtsengan preached: "I heard that Chen Ying became famous in his youth, and I believe he doesn't read too many military books!"
"Many people have read the military books!" Yu Wenhua and his expression were solemn: "However, Chen Ying's talent is really great. He even has many things that his ancestors, Mo Chen Chong, don't have. For example, Liu Tong's group of strange soldiers were trained by him using his own unique method."
"Liu Tong?" Songtsen Gampo said disapprovingly: "Is it the turtle that shrunk?"
"Turning turtle? Haha!" Yu Wengji couldn't help but shake his head and smiled, saying, "This kid is really amazing!"
Songtsen Gampo said in confusion: "Is it amazing? He never dared to fight head-on with my great Tubo warriors. He only fired cold arrows and leaped into the mountains and forests..."
Yu Wenji looked at Songtsen Gampo and said, "If you still despise your enemy, you will definitely suffer a great loss in the future!"
"Ru Daren should have taken Kangyanju City!" Songtsen Gampo smiled and said, "He only has a few thousand yaks. Now Ru Daren adopts the national teacher's plan and attacks in dispersed ways. I believe Liu Tong is helpless!"
Yu Weng-ji looked at Songtsen Gampo and sighed helplessly. He thought to himself: "I'm still too young!"
Yu Wenhe shook his head and said, "Every general who commands the army will use scouts, and I am no exception. But the scouts of our generals are fighting on their own and one stronghold to reconnaise the enemy situation. Chen Ying did the opposite. His scouts are also one stronghold, but he can connect all the points into lines and then weave all the lines into a tight net. This big net is mysteriously floating everywhere, flexible and maneuverable to collect and release them freely."
Even though Yu Wenhua and Chen Ying were Chen Ying's enemy, he also admired Chen Ying very much at this time.
While Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were still fighting for that position, Chen Ying had secretly trained troops that could adapt to the Tubo Plateau.
Chen Ying was like a shrewd and experienced fisherman, and Liu Tong and his Beiwei Army were the nets in his hands. As long as he spread this big net, there would be no news that Chen Ying wanted.
When necessary, this big net can also become a decisive sharp knife that determines the outcome at any time.
Yu Wenhe and the camp outside Chen Ying were on the camp outside Chen Ying for more than an hour, and it was dark. Then they preached to Songzangan: "Dear Zamp, let's go back. Chen Ying is on guard. They have turned the camp into a turtle shell..."
Songtsen Gampo said with a ferocious face: "National Master, Benzanpu must be afraid that the army will pacify Chen Ying!"
