Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 3578

Chapter 3578

More than ten thousand Tubo horses galloped westward along the north bank of the Weishui River, and Zampo took the lead. The wind and snow blowing in front of him just made him squint his eyes slightly, and he didn't feel the cold at all.Seeing the Tang army in the distance set up camp in the north of the Wei River and the south of the mountains, and the figures had already formed an array, he felt no fear in his heart, and with his blood racing, he simply tore open his neckline and let out a strange cry , Speeding up the horse under the crotch again.

Compared with the cold weather in Tubo, the wind and snow in Guanzhong is as refreshing as the warm summer wind. Yes, there are many places in Tubo that snow heavily even in summer...

On the verge of reaching the place where Tang Jun could shoot an arrow, Zampo took out a strong attack, bent her bow and set her arrows, bowed slightly on the horse's back, and manipulated the horse with only the strength of her legs.With a whistling, he controlled the horse to turn a big arc in front of the Tang army's camp. At the moment it was parallel to the Tang army's front line, he shot the bow and arrow towards the top of the Tang army.

Hu Qi's movements behind him were almost the same. The torrent of attack was split into two in front of the Tang army's formation. Countless arrows were thrown high into the sky, and then the arrows fell and plunged obliquely into the Tang army's formation.

Countless Tang soldiers were hit by arrows one after another, some gritted their teeth stiffly, some fell to the ground after being shot to the vital point, and the array was slightly chaotic.

He Lanyan's complexion had already changed drastically, and he waved his arms and ordered: "Bowmen, shoot!"

Although the battle report only said that Fang Jun led the army back to Chang'an, he was not surprised to have Hu Qi accompanying him.Fang Jun fought fiercely with the Dashi army in the Western Regions, and there were quite a lot of Hu men in the Anxi army, so it was inevitable that there were not enough troops to pull a team of Hu cavalry, which was as it should be.

But what is the level of riding and shooting skills of those Hu people in the Western Regions?It has been crushed by the Turks for hundreds of years, and the number of each tribe is small. A cavalry unit of more than a thousand people is enough to shock one side. The so-called 36 countries in the Western Regions are not as good as the 36 counties in the Central Plains...

But this Hu cavalry in front of them not only has a strength of nearly [-] people, but also is skilled in arching horses and has a fierce style. It can attack quickly as soon as it takes over the battle, which is by no means comparable to those Hu cavalry in the Western Regions.

The war drums rang, and the bowmen in the Guanlong army drew their bows like a full moon. The arrow clusters pointed obliquely at the sky above Hu Qi's head. There was a sound of "collapse" and thousands of bowstrings vibrated, and the arrow clusters pierced through the air and issued a sharp sound. Howling, even suppressing the sound of Hu Qi's charging hooves, countless arrows shot out, drawing a parabola in the air, and shooting into Hu Qi's formation from top to bottom.

Puff puff!

The sharp triangular arrow clusters are all made of fine iron, very sharp, with the help of gravity, they can easily break through the various arrows on Hu Qi's body, and pierce into the body fiercely, the lethality is far higher than Hu Qi's projectile.

The charging Hu Qi were hit by arrows and fell off their horses one after another, and at the same time blocked the charging path of Paoze behind them, causing the horses to trip and trigger a chain reaction, and the charging formation that was originally galloping like a dragon was instantly scattered.Zanpo was not surprised at all. Tang’s crossbows were as sharp as armor in the world, far beyond what Tubo could match. Whenever the two countries were at war, Tubo’s soldiers would suffer big losses when they were far away. Only when the two armies approached the crossbows was ineffective , to offset this disadvantage.

Of course, even the individual quality and fierceness that Tubo is proud of can't take advantage of the Tang army's more systematic training, more rigorous and flexible array, and more sophisticated ordnance.Although it is not as disparate as the "one Han as five Hu" in the time of Han Wu, only the troops with twice the strength of the Tang army dare to launch an attack...

The two countries have not fought a few times, but small-scale conflicts have continued. The Tubo army knows the combat power of the Tang army well, so even such a temporary mob can still inflict huge damage on the Tubo cavalry Not surprising.

What's more, what he wants to do is not to completely annihilate the Guanlong army in front of him. This is not necessary at all. He came here to "help fist" at the invitation of Fang Junzhi, and he doesn't have to fight with the Guanlong army. array, just clear the obstacles on the way forward.

Zanpo immediately ordered that the Hu cavalry under her command be divided into two in front of the Guanlong army, one part will attack along the north bank of the Weishui River, and the other part will bypass Wuting River to the north and rush eastward along the foot of the mountain.No matter how perfect the array is, it is impossible to cover everything, especially the purpose of Hu Qi is to break through rather than wipe out the enemy. The north bank of the Wei River and the foot of the Wuting River are just the empty places on the edge of the Guanlong Army, and their strength is weak.

While launching a surprise attack, Hu Qi shot from horseback, constantly disturbing the formation of the Guanlong army, and because of his high mobility, He Lanyan dispatched soldiers to try to intercept them, but all failed, which made him panic and fearful.

This Hu cavalry was obviously dispatched by Fang Jun to serve as the vanguard. If they were allowed to break through their own formation and bypass the back formation to block the retreat, and then Fang Jun personally led the army to come forward, and the two flanked back and forth, how could they survive?

The ambitious He Lanyan did not expect that he would be in great danger as soon as the war started. This Hu cavalry is not only fierce in combat power, but also has a surprisingly strong strategic vision, and he does not know who the leader is...

He didn't dare to be negligent, and hastily ordered the whole army to retreat slowly, pushing towards the Wuting River in the rear. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers in the rear to dig open the frozen Wuting River, preventing the two Hu cavalry that were divided into two from bypassing the rear to complete the encirclement.

The two armies joined forces and the battle started. It was not a bloody battle as He Lanyan had expected in advance. Instead, the two sides took advantage of each other's weaknesses to try to gain the upper hand at the strategic level, and then achieve their respective goals at the lowest cost.Although He Lanyan is far from being a famous general in the present age, he has been in the battle for a long time, and he has never paid attention to the military strategy of the Hu people. At this moment, the Hu cavalry in front of him is restrained everywhere, and he is led by the nose. , the shock in my heart can be seen.

The Hu people are naturally brave, because their ancestors lived in the bitter cold of the frontier for generations, their physical fitness is far superior to that of the Han people, and they are even more fearless in battle, but because they lack rigorous military strategies, they are everywhere when fighting the Han people. Falling behind.

And this Huqi in front of him is not only forbidden, but also its master has a deep strategy. Given time, it may become the number one enemy of the Tang army...

Hu Qi was cunning, but He Lanyan's response was also very timely. After retreating, he leaned against the Wuting River and dug open the frozen river to make the enemy's attempt to encircle and cut off the back road in vain. They could only attack the two wings of Guanlong's army. The Guanlong army was under a lot of pressure, but they gradually stabilized their position. The two sides fought a bloody battle and suffered heavy casualties.

Seeing that the remaining troops in the family decreased little by little, He Lanyan suddenly felt distressed, but he couldn't help it.

Every family was threatened by Changsun Wuji, so they had to use all their strength to mobilize their last strength. Some of them were led by him to stop Fang Jun, and some of them entered Chang'an to continue to attack Taiji Palace.If not, no one knows what unimaginable means Changsun Wuji will do. Although Changsun Wuji today is far less powerful than before, making Guanlongmen to obey, but the power is still there, no one will Dare to turn your face completely...

He Lanyan didn't dare to claim victory, he just wanted to block this place with all his strength, and the battle situation in Chang'an City went smoothly, and the quick capture of Miyagi would be a success.

There are more than [-] people on my side, and they have formed an army to guard this dangerous place. How can they bite Fang Jun off a piece of flesh?

As Hu Qi's attempt to encircle the rear of the Guanlong army was broken, the two sides started a scuffle in the narrow and long area north of the Weishui River and south of Wutingchuan.Although the Guanlong army lacked training and was not strong in combat, Hu Qi lost his mobility and impact, and could only fight in short combat.

The ground was stained red with blood, corpses lay everywhere, and the battle was extremely brutal.

Zan Po was brave and unparalleled, taking the lead in fighting countless Guanlong soldiers. She was also wounded in many places, and the resentment in her heart reached the extreme.He has always been a proud and arrogant person. He believes that although the Tang army is strong, it is limited to those famous generals and the elite troops among the sixteen guards. Under the charge of Tubo cavalry, they can be defeated.

However, this time the raid on Chang'an, first at the foot of the Jianzhui Ridge, he was beaten into disgrace by the Zuo Tunwei of the remnant formation, and now he encountered a Tang general whose name he had never heard of leading an army with disorganized uniforms and different banners, which was obviously temporary. The cobbled together mob, but still lost soldiers and generals...

If the combat power of any Tang army is so strong, then for Tubo, wouldn't all the provocative actions in the past be extremely ridiculous?The minds of the whole country coveting the territory of the Tang Dynasty are even more ignorant and pitiful.If an aggression against Datang is launched at this moment, it will be like hitting a stone with an egg.
