Chapter 97: What kind of enemy is not defeated by the Tang cavalry

Kang Yan lives outside the city and it is rare to encounter sunny days. The Tubo people laid sheep while basking in the sun lazily.

Early in the morning, Songtsin climbed the hill and looked at the Tang army camp in the northwest.

Songtsen Gampo frowned and looked at Ru Daren beside him and said, "Has Chen Ying not moved yet?"

Ru Daren sighed and said, "Chen Ying'er is a fox. If you slightly move, you will retract into their hole!"

Although Ru Daren looked down on Chen Ying's "coward" behavior, it is undeniable that the battle camp that Chen Ying tied down is a tough bone and is not easy to chew.

The battle camp is not a city, but it does not mean that Chen Ying's battle camp is easy to attack.

Originally, a tree stump as thick as a bowl, buried three feet deep in the soil. Such a wall was not difficult to deal with. However, the Tang army camp raised wooden walls along the edge of the lowlands and poked out with sharp spears, forming a hedgehog-shaped shape. Outside the wooden wall, there were deer antlers everywhere.

There is also an earth wall on the inside of the wooden wall! This is an earth wall rammed with gravel, which is a wall-making technology unique to the Han people. It was later introduced to the Bohai Sea, Goguryeo and other places. In history, the Khitan and the Jin Dynasty used this technology to build a Great Wall to defend the north of the desert.

The soldiers of the Tang army in Anxi have long had no single army. Any army has more than three types of equipment. Tang crossbows and horizontal swords are indispensable. Even the heads of the army are carrying Tang crossbows, carrying a pot of arrows and a horizontal sword.

Although Chen Ying rushed forward and brought only a limited number of arrows, with only more than 10,000 men and no more than 200,000 crossbow arrows, and an average of only 20 per person, the refining bombs carried a lot.

Ru Daren once tentatively launched an attack on Chen Ying's camp. A vanguard of three thousand men went up. In just a quarter of an hour, more than a thousand men were killed. If it weren't for the retreat quickly, all three thousand men would have been left there.

Ru Daren would rather use his head to Gongkangyanju City than attack Chen Ying's camp. After all, in Chen Ying's camp, the neighing sounds of war horses resounded throughout the sky. Obviously, there were not many war horses in the same camp. Once Chen Ying, like Liu Tong, connected the war horses with iron locks and formed a chain of horses to attack the Tubo army, Ru Daren might not even have a place to cry.

Songtsen Gampo looked at the deadly Kang Yanju City and said coldly: "Chen Ying did not come out of the turtle shell, which proves that we did not put enough pressure on Kang Yanju City. Order the Red Tail Army to break the city!"

The Red Tail Army is a masterpiece of Songtsen Gampo. The Tubo people have always been unrestrained and the battlefield discipline is even more messy. If they win, they will rush forward, and if they lose, they will be defeated thousands of miles away.

In order to strictly enforce the discipline of the Tubo army, Songtsen Gampo deliberately made people gather the fiery fox tails. When they encountered soldiers who retreated without permission, they hung the fiery fox tails. Unfortunately, when this policy was just implemented, there were too many Tubo soldiers. Even the gray and black foxes in the snowfield were included, they could not get enough of so many fox tails.

Later, Songtsen Garland asked someone to tie the red chicken feathers with cowhide ropes and tie them behind the retreating soldiers. Such an army became the Red Tassel Army, and the treatment was reduced by half, and it was despised by people.

Songtsen Gampo called on Tubo soldiers to avenge their previous shame. Over time, the Tubo people regarded the red tassel as a lifelong shame. Only by using the blood and head of the enemy could they take off the red tassel.

In fact, the so-called Red Tassel Army is similar to the jumping soldiers in the Tang army. The jumping soldiers of the Tang army are mainly those with low status such as prisoners, merchants and son-in-law. Only by making meritorious contributions on the battlefield can they be promoted to common people, make more than two transfers of military merits, and enjoy the treatment of first transfer of military merits.

It can be said that this is a dead soldier unit.

With the order from Songtsen Gampo, the Red Tassel Army soldiers of the Tubo army began to ship out the attacking troops and slowly advanced towards Kangyanju City.

The soldiers of the Tubo Red Tassel Army were moving faster and faster, as if they were rushing to Kangyanju City like a tsunami.

"Her Majesty, what should I do now?" Someone was yelling at Suvinazhen.

Subinazhen looked back and found that it was Danmuji. This was a famous warrior from the Subi tribe, who was over nine feet tall and had already killed people as bloody people and horses as bloody horses. But even such a powerful general, when he saw the Tubo Red Tassel Army soldiers rushing over, a hint of despair still showed a look of despair on his face.

Su Binarzhen smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I do? Fight to the end!"

Danmuji opened his mouth, but he didn't say it.

Su Binazhen's smile became even bitterer, and she said slowly: "Don't think about surrendering. The Tang people treat us well. We can't be so cruel... Besides, do you think the Tubo people will let us go? No, they will kill us all!"

"boom!……"

A loud explosion interrupted Su Binarzhen's words. She looked away and saw an orange-red fireball rising in the middle of the Tubo Red Tassel Army. Dozens of cavalry and horses bleed all over their bodies and screamed and fell down. Soon, the dozens of cavalry turned into fire knights, screaming shrillly, struggling, begging for mercy...

I saw Xunxiang on the city wall, holding an axe and cutting a rope, and the catapulting arm threw a wooden barrel weighing more than 50 kilograms away, covering dozens of Tubo Red Tassel soldiers in the sea of ​​fire.

The catapult is equipped with a fire bomb, which is extremely powerful.

The soldiers of the Tubo Red Tassel Army, which had a intensive impact, were burned into fire amid the explosions one after another.

Songtsen Gampo's face changed drastically and he shouted angrily: "Damn Tang Gou, you will only bully people with firearms!"

Regardless of whether it was black cat or white cat, the soldiers of Beiwei Army used these incendiary bombs to delay the Tubo people's attack.

Xun looked at the Tubo soldiers who were burned to death, licked their lips excitedly and said, "This thing is so easy to use. Unfortunately, it's a little less. Each person has only three or four, and they will be thrown out in a few strokes... I would have brought more if I had known it!"

Liu Tong said laughing and cryingly: "Who would have thought that the Tubo people were actually planning to surround the site to help? If I knew... I wouldn't bring this thing, with a thunderbolt bullet!"

The black gunpowder had been in the seventh year of Wude, and Chen Ying had already made it. Except for the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Chen Ying used a piece of black gunpowder, which was not safe, and did not really go to the battlefield.

As a later generation, Chen Ying knew very well that the power of black gunpowder was too weak. Even in the Ming Dynasty, the combs were equipped in large scale. In fact, muskets did not have an advantage over crossbows.

Before Chen Ying's God of War was successful, Chen Ying did not intend to release Pandora's devil.

Su Binnazhen was shocked and woke up from ecstasy. She thought to herself: "Yes, although the lethality is huge, the number is limited after all. If it is thrown away, the enemy will come from all directions and squeeze them down! Thinking of this, she pointed at the Tubo army with a sabre and shouted: "Kaicheng, rush for me!"

Su Binar held the youngest son behind Xunxiang's arms, raised the Mo knife, and let out a horrifying roar from his chest: "Avenge your shame, avenge your shame!"

As she said that, she was like a god of war, taking the lead, rushed towards the Tubo formation, raised the Mo Dao and swept across the board, roared with a violent explosion, and rushed forward. Tubo, who was bombed to the point of being staggered, watched in horror as these crazy guys rushed out of the smoke. The next second, their heads took off their necks and flew out...

Subinazhen led the remaining troops of Subi's troops to charge forward like a bamboo shoot, and the Tubo army was powerless to fight back.

Songtsen Gampo angrily threw the horse on the ground. He knew that the attempt to encircle and annihilate Kangjuyan City was shattered.

Just as Songtsen Gampo ordered the withdrawal of troops angrily, Chen Ying led the anti-Songsen Gampo coalition he hurriedly organized, with more than 30,000 troops and storming towards Songbang Fort.

In fact, the anti-Songtsen Gampo Alliance formed by Chen Ying had at most more than 60,000 troops, but he worked all the way and lost half of his troops.

Chen Ying looked at these tired and overwhelmed mobs, and smiled bitterly in addition to being bitter.

Seeing Songbang Fort looking away, the tribe leaders of the anti-Songtsen Gampo Alliance who followed Chen Ying and became uneasy.

Ando Naji, the leader of Ando, ​​looked at Chen Ying timidly and said, "General Chen, are we going to wait for the people behind?"

"Wait? Wait? Wait for what to wait for the credit to be robbed? We crossed the snow-capped mountains and came from afar to share the credit with others?" Chen Ying shouted: "Do you really want Songtsen Gampo's treasure and their women to share with others?"

Chen Ying shouted, and dozens of Tubo tribe leaders around him could hear his voice clearly.

Andonaji's eyes showed a wolf-like light and said loudly: "Of course... no!"

Chen Ying pointed to Songbang Fort in the distance and laughed: "The wealth accumulated by Tubo over the past few decades is piled up like a mountain of gold, silver and treasures. Are you willing to share it with others?"

Originally, these anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition soldiers were still a little tired, but at this moment they felt that it would be a shame if they had not achieved any achievements after running thousands of miles.

Andonagi asked in confusion: "The general really uses cavalry to attack the city?"

"Why can't the enemy be defeated by the Tang cavalry?" Chen Ying raised the horizontal sword in his hand and shouted: "Under the iron hoof of this general, it will be flattened to me no matter whether it is a city or a camp!"

"Step them!"

As he said that, the cavalry and cavalry soldiers shouted in unison and rushed towards Songbang Fort.

Of course, Chen Ying would not be really stupid and led the cavalry to attack the city, but he was cheating at this time.

As early as Chen Ying led the anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition forces, the Tubo miniature work that the tiger Yi had already mixed into Songbang Fort, and there were six barrels of more than three hundred kilograms of black gunpowder mixed into Songbang Fort.

These black gunpowders are definitely not enough to blow up the stone city of Songbang Fort, but it is still possible to blow up the wooden city gate wrapped in iron.

Chen Ying rode his horse first and shouted at the cavalry soldiers beside him: "Let the Tubo people see the majesty of our Han cavalry!"

Thousands of cavalry and cavalry lances lined up in neat cavalry formations, and their horses raised their legs neatly and fell down neatly, which shocked the Tubo defenders on the city wall.

The ground was shaking, but what was even more vibrant was the heart strings of the Tubo people

Thousands of cavalry dare to attack, so there must be reinforcements behind them. This must be the vanguard.

Yes, it must be like this.

Sure enough, after the Anxi Army's cavalry and cavalry cavalry, more than 10,000 cavalrymen against Songtsen Gampo, and rushed towards Songbang Fort.

The impact of the hook and sickle rifle is getting closer and closer.

One thousand steps, eight hundred steps, five hundred steps...

At this moment, the Tubo defenders in Songbang Castle did not notice the sound of "hiss...". If anyone who has played with black gunpowder must be very familiar with it, it is the sound of leading the ignition.

Chen Ying slowly raised his hand and shouted at Songbang Castle City: "Haotian is here, borrow my divine power, and the Supreme Lord is urgent and as ordered as the law... and bomb this general!"

At this moment, a shocking sound came from the gate of Songbang Castle.

"Boom!" A huge orange-red fireball rose into the air, and the towering city gate tower, which was as high as three feet, was suddenly shrouded in the smoke of gunpowder.
