The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 769: Capture the Flag and Kill Generals
"Wuuuuuuu..." The desolate trumpet sounded on the grassland, and the [-] Tubo coalition forces launched an attack at the same time. The coalition forces, which could not be seen at a glance, rushed towards the Sui army like a torrent breaking a dike.

Lang Ri Zanpu will not make any previous mistakes at this time. His biggest advantage is that he has a large number of people. He will no longer fight one-on-one with the Sui army, and will not let the Sui army break down one by one like a fighting general. Only by pressing all the [-] troops can we exert our greatest advantage.

There is no difference between Tubo soldiers and northern nomads. They pay attention to momentum and do not care much about personal life and death. It is lucky for soldiers to die on the battlefield, which is also directly related to the short life span. Tubo lives in a harsh environment. Fighting for life with the world and wolves, coupled with extremely poor medical conditions, most people will not live to be 50 years old. For men, dying on the battlefield in their prime is the best destination One, it can bring tangible benefits and honor to themselves and their descendants.

But the Tibetans, like other nomads in the north, have morale that is easy to be aroused, but it is also easy to fade. Once the morale fades, the sense of honor that regards death as home will disappear. Soldiers began to fear death, worrying that the tribe and family would be swallowed up by others Worried that their wives and children will become other people's property, so they dare not fight to the death. Once this fear reaches a consensus, the army will easily be defeated.This is a very contradictory psychological concept. Viewing death as an honor, fearing death and not fighting is often reversed in a single thought.

Although today's Tubo soldiers have high morale and regard death as home, they are not without some offensive strategies. When attacking, they often adopt a wild goose formation, with the strongest army as the front row of wild geese. Majesticly tearing through the opponent's defense line, defeated the opponent in one fell swoop.

Langri Zanpu's [-] troops are elite soldiers who are invincible across the tall grass, and their combat power, morale, and will are by no means comparable to Tuyuhun's.But even if it is a surging sea, the Sui army is also an indestructible reef.

The Xiaoguo army rushed halfway, and formed a Modao formation according to the established tactics. They watched the tens of thousands of cavalry rushing towards them. It was raining all over the sky, but the Sui army, who was waiting in full battle, did not move at all... When they reached the eighty or so steps, the Sui army finally showed their might.

Three thousand iron arrows shot out at the same time, and the powerful crossbow arrows were like a dense forest of arrows. They shot into the galloping Tubo cavalry group in an instant. Dismounting, the horse was shot with blood, and fell sideways with a hiss.

More than six or seven hundred people were shot down in the first round of crossbow arrows, but the crossbowmen did not even look at the results of the battle. The moment the crossbow arrows were shot, they immediately stepped on the bow and pulled the string, one person raised the crossbow, and the other put two arrows on the crossbow slot , in one go.

The death of hundreds of people seemed to have no effect on the 130 cavalry. The Tubo army speeded up and had rushed to a distance of [-] steps. Without unified command, the second round of strong crossbow iron arrows had already shot at the Tubo cavalry like a storm .

The dense Tubo cavalry turned their backs on their backs again, and this time they hit a wider area, and nearly a thousand people were shot down. Although in terms of time, the Sui crossbowmen still had time to attack again, but tactics did not allow it.

This is because the range of the enemy's cavalry bow is [-] steps. It takes time for the crossbow army to retreat, and they must retreat within a hundred steps, otherwise heavy casualties will be caused, and it will also have a negative impact on the cavalry behind.

"withdraw!"

Following an order, three thousand heavy crossbowmen picked up their spears on the ground, jumped on their horses, retreated to both sides like a tide, and then went to the back to form an array, thus revealing the neatly lined up Sui archers behind them. This is the traditional crossbow warfare method of the Central Plains Dynasty. The crossbow first bows and then uses the length of the shot to kill the enemy cavalry. However, compared with the previous dynasties, although the Sui army’s cavalry also had bows, they mainly used two. The ten-shot crossbow operated by a single person can be called extremely luxurious.

At this time, the Tubo cavalry had rushed within a hundred paces. They skillfully controlled the horse with their feet, and used their waist and arm strength to shoot arrows while galloping at high speed.

Many Sui soldiers could do this with double pedals, but the Tubo cavalry who grew up on horseback could easily complete a series of difficult movements without tools or special training.

At the same time as more than 8000 Tubo cavalry fired arrows together, [-] Sui cavalry archers also shot the first round of [-] crossbow arrows. The arrows interweaved densely in the air, forming a dense arrow network.

The dense arrows of the two armies intertwined in the air, acting as arrows. The Tubo people of the ten-thousand-thousand team turned their backs on their horses and rolled to the ground. Leave it blank.

At this time, the cavalry archers of the Sui Army were also hit by arrows. Fortunately, all the Sui soldiers wore armor and helmets with long brims. The short bows of the Tubo cavalry were not strong enough to kill the soldiers.Even so, the cavalry archers' horses suffered, and the cavalry horses moved in pain, which also affected the cavalry archers' lineup.

However, the mission of the archers has also been completed. Like the previous heavy crossbowmen, they quickly retreated to both sides, guarding the wings of Mo Dao Shou. They hung up the crossbows, and the weapons in their hands became spears and shields. They were arranged in a neat square formation, with dense guards on both sides of Mo Daoshou.

This also means that the sharpest weapon of the Sui army finally appeared in front of Tubo. Five thousand Mo Dao soldiers with bright helmets and bright armor lined up neatly, blocking the Tubo cavalry like a copper wall and iron wall.The sharp Mo Dao swung out suddenly, and the handle pierced into the ground, forming a frightening formation of swords, with the sharp points of the swords gathered densely, aiming at the roaring Tubo cavalry.

The Tubo cavalry had already charged forward, looking at the dense forest of swords in front of them, the cavalry in front screamed in despair, and even the horses neighed miserably, but they could no longer change the tragic fate that was coming.

The Tubo cavalry, like a strong tide, finally hit the hard reef, but the final result was that the sea wave was smashed into pieces by the reef. When they hit the Dense Mo Dao, flesh and blood flew everywhere and the blood fog filled the air.

The earthy smell in the air also turned to the smell of blood.Disgusting, as the blood mist dissipated, a wall of flesh about three feet wide and two miles long appeared in front of the Mo Dao formation. Horse corpses and human corpses were mixed together, making it unrecognizable.Some of these Tubo cavalry were stabbed to death by Mo Dao, and more of them stopped their horses and were trampled to death by their companions behind.But for the Modao army, it was the inevitable result of the cavalry formation attacking the Modao formation.

After this blow, the ten-thousand-thousand-strong Tubo army, which was used as an arrow, nearly collapsed, and the remaining Tubo cavalry, who were less than [-], stopped in shock, causing the three armies' wild goose formation to become a long snake formation. One slow.

For the soldiers of the Sui army, the strengths of the Tubo army are nothing more than excellent riding and shooting and fierce blood. Most of the equipment on their bodies is leather armor, short knives, and riding bows. Goguryeo and Dong/Turk are not as good, and this kind of army is also the best army to fight.Under the command of five Yingyang generals and ten generals, the Modao army got up and stepped forward to kill the enemy's corpses step by step...

The Mo Dao Army has a tall and mighty body, the power to move mountains and shake mountains, indestructible heavy armor, and the indestructible Mo Dao!

The quality of individual soldiers, armaments and equipment are all at the peak of the times, and there is no need for tactics when facing the enemy.

You only need to repeat simple movements such as horizontal chopping, vertical chopping, and oblique chopping.

Entering like a wall, people and horses are all smashed!
The five thousand mo swordsmen stood in front of the position, following their footsteps, the Tubo cavalry charged forward one after another, but they hit the mainstay like a rushing river, causing stumps to fly and blood to spurt.

However, the Mo Dao formation stood still!

Every step they took, at least more than a thousand enemy soldiers were strangled by the sword.The cavalry archers on both sides also began to show their power, stabbing the Tubo soldiers with their spears.

Langri Zanpu watched the Tubo soldiers rushing towards the Tang army's Modao formation one after another, and then turned into a pile of scattered meat. His heart became colder and colder, and his heart ached like a knife.

But things have come to this, and the Sui army still has thousands of elite cavalry and tigers watching the delay. If the order to withdraw the troops is issued, the scattered Tubo soldiers will be crushed and killed by the Sui army soldiers.

Facing the gap in equipment, what can he do?
There is no way.

I can only constantly urge the brave soldiers to launch a decisive charge with a desperate heart...

He didn't believe that the soldiers of the Sui army with heavy armor and sharp blades would not be tired, and he didn't believe that the Tubo cavalry could not hit them to death?

One person is not enough, just two...

Thinking of this, Langri Zanpu yelled: "Generals, gather your soldiers and charge with all your might. We must break through the Sui army's lineup!"

"The last will obey."

The Tubo generals also knew that if they retreated, they would be defeated. They responded to Langri Zanpu's call and quickly gathered up the soldiers who had been killed. !
……

Yang Tong, who had already retreated to two thousand Xuanjia troops, watched the enemy's situation. He saw that the positions of the chaotic enemy's central army gradually became orderly, and more and more soldiers gathered. This was also the last strength of Tubo. The time was ripe, so he said to Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda and other generals beside him: "The Tubo people are preparing to launch the final charge, and the desperate charge will inevitably bring huge casualties to Mo Dao Shou, follow me to charge!"

Every Mo Dao hand is the elite of the elite. The basic quality of superhuman individual quality alone makes many soldiers daunted. The extraordinary mentality of the same military color, without these two hard conditions, is not qualified to be a Mo Dao hand, so every Mo Dao hand carefully selected by a Mo Dao hand is a veritable treasure, and any general is not worthy of the name. Willing to let them die under the desperate charge of the enemy.

Moreover, the Modao formation has never been a single unit, and it is simply unrealistic to rely solely on the Modao hand to kill the enemy, so every battle requires appropriate tactics to cooperate!

"As ordered!"

The Xuanjia Army, already high in morale and blood, suddenly responded. As the number one army of the Sui Dynasty brought out by Yang Tong, they were never afraid of war, and they were afraid that there would be no battle to fight, and they would be replaced by other brother troops. The seat of the first powerhouse.

But these years, due to the change of Yang Tong's mission, this emperor's first guard has few battles to fight, and everyone is suffocating.

Now seeing the emperor in armor and leading them to fight again, the bloody drowsiness in the chest was ignited. Many soldiers who had been looking forward to this day for a long time were so excited that they shed tears, and the generosity and pride of being willing to die for the country stirred in their hearts.

Yang Tong raised the horse spear in his hand and roared, "Let's go!"

"Rush!"

"Rush!"

Yang Tong was the emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty and the commander of the first army, but at this time, like the soldiers of the Xuanjia Army, the bloodiness that had been suppressed for a long time broke out.

He took the lead, clamped the horse's belly fiercely, and the off-string arrow let out a long hiss full of excitement, and rushed out!

"Boom."

The [-] Xuanjia troops rushed out behind them, and the horns sounded in the rear. When the soldiers in front heard the order, they opened a gap, allowing Yang Tong to lead the Xuanjia army to pass through from the northeast, with the sun behind their backs. Entering the Tubo formation, Feng Shi generally rushed towards the Tubo army that was gathering urgently!
The Tubo cavalry was originally an army with low morale, but they were first hit by the tragic battlefield outside the mountain, and then they failed because of the generals. Now, they were killed by the Mo Dao formation, and their morale was so low. The extreme point, coupled with the hasty assembly at this time, and no strong generals to hold the formation, and then being rushed by the Xuanjia army who was waiting for work and recharging their energy, they were immediately defeated.

Yang Tong, who was dressed in armor and horses, reflected dazzling light all over his body. He seemed to come from the northeast like a god of war, leading the army to roll forward.

Those Tubo defeated troops wanted to flee here, but they were forced back by cavalry.

The two thousand cavalry were like the cold wind howling from an iceberg, making them desperate.

Every pair of armor that was as black as ink was mixed with a layer of blood.Under the reflection of the sun, it exudes a bewitching cold light, like an army of devils from hell.

Yang Tong's Sky-Splitting Lance is like a swimming dragon. The arrows from the string hiss and scream, and the iron hoof smashes the ground. Wherever it passes, it is like locusts plundering the territory. Under the leadership of Yang Tong, Pei Xingyan, Niu Jinda, Wang Xiongdan, Yang Feng, Shui Tianji, Yin Mingyue, Yang Qinfang and other generals, Qian Tieqi tore a huge hole in the Tubo central army formation, and then came the first Six thousand soldiers and horses of the Tenth Army galloped freely, supporting the Xuanjia Army, and further opened the gap.

The two big Sui cavalry gathered and scattered suddenly, changing for no reason, bringing a bloody storm all over the sky.

For a while, the Tubo army retreated steadily.

"Fire arrows."

Langri Zanpu's face was as heavy as water. He watched the generals of the Sui army galloping in the formation, but he was extremely calm. He ignored the chaotic army caught in the melee. Behind him, Lu Dongzan had already organized a group of archers , following Langri Zanpu's order, arrows rained down, and the icy arrows shot up from the ground, densely covering Yang Tong's position, and even the surrounding Tubo army suffered, and hurriedly began to retreat .

Yang Tong's charge stopped immediately, he glanced at the direction of Langri Zanpu, snorted coldly, took off the Thunder Bow, without looking carefully, raised his hand in the direction of Langri Zanpu and shot an arrow.

Among the three armies, Langri Zanpu was dispatching soldiers and horses to reorganize the defense. He suddenly felt a chill coming. push away.

"Om~"

The icy cold wind passed by Langri Zanpu's ears, making his eardrums buzz, followed by a muffled sound behind him, and subconsciously looked back, only to see that Shuai Qi had been shot off by an arrow, the size of his calf The flagpole couldn't stop the power of an arrow. Looking at the handsome flag that fell to the ground, Langri Zanpu felt a chill in his heart. If Thumi Sambuza hadn't pushed himself away in time, I'm afraid the end would not be better than this flagpole How many.

"Langri Zamp is dead, and the whole army concealed his killing."

Seeing this, Pei Xingyan who was beside Yang Tong shouted loudly.

"Langri Zamp is dead, and the whole army concealed his killing."

"Langri Zamp is dead, and the whole army concealed his killing."

This voice started from Pei Xingyan, spread among the Xuanjia Army, and soon swept the entire battlefield.

Above the war, the handsome flag represents the commander, the soul of an army. The commander of the Tubo army collapsed, and the army no longer had the will to fight.

"Send the order to withdraw the troops!" Langri Zamp yelled hysterically in shock.

'when!when!when! 'The bell for the withdrawal of troops was rang fiercely, and the Tubo soldiers retreated like a tide.

But at this time, Wei Fengwu on the watchtower sounded the horn for the whole army to attack under the prompt of the messenger.

Xiaoguo's heavy crossbowmen and cavalry archers rushed forward, and the Tubo army was defeated. They were killed and fled in embarrassment.

………………

"Kill!" Feeling that the rain of arrows had become thinner, Yang Tong raised his lance and charged again.

Annoyance flashed across Langri Zanpu's eyes, but he also knew that even if he continued to fight at this time, it would only expand the results of the Sui army. Today's battle was completely defeated. The organized forces couldn't resist, so they could only retreat with the defeated army.

"Go away!"

At this moment, how could Yang Tong let the enemy general leave?As soon as he urged the arrow away from the string, the splitting lance whipped up a strange wind, cutting a bloody path through the crowd like a splitting wave, towards Langri Zanpu.

"My life is over!"

Seeing the menacing armored warrior who was coming unimpeded all the way, Langri Zanpu was shocked and ran for his life. He is also a rare horse when he sits down, but how can he compare with the king of horses?

The off-string arrow in the crowd has completely let go of its speed, rushing through the crowd like a ray of light, and is about to catch up with Langri Zanpu.

"court death!"

With a roar of anger, a brave general rode his horse and wielded a sword, blocking Yang Tong's way. Yang Tong didn't say much, and Li Tianqiang stabbed at the enemy general like a winding python that devoured everything.

"Dang!" When the swords collided, there was a loud noise, which shocked the audience.

Yang Tong pushed forward, and the sharp spear pierced the enemy general's heart in an instant, and rushed forward without losing momentum. When they crossed, he let go of the spear, pulled it out behind him, and continued to chase forward.The enemy general froze and fell off his horse.

"Roar~" Another figure blocked Yang Tong's way, roaring and slashing at Lixianjian's head with a big knife, but he wanted to kill Lixianjian first, and Yang Tong would never catch up with Langri even if he was very capable. zamp.

"Looking for death!" Yang Tong was furious, he put the sword on the sword and twisted it hard, the enemy almost let the sword fly away, he tried his best to resist the strange force.

"Xi Lulu." The man blocked the cracking sky, but the horse under his crotch couldn't bear the suppression of that force, screaming and stepping into four deep pits on the ground.

Yang Tong took advantage of the situation, and amidst the screams of the enemy general, the four-foot-long lance cut the enemy in half.

One general was furious, turned his horse's head and threw the spear in Yang Tong's back.

Yang Tong, who was running wildly, heard the strong wind behind him, he leaned back the pole, and caught the spear thrown by the opponent, his heart moved, and he turned around, hooked the spear with the fork of the handle, and ignored the general , saw the direction of Langri Zanpu and slammed it suddenly, and the spear stuck on the fork roared out, leaving a series of afterimages in the air.

Langri Zanpu was galloping on horseback when suddenly a deadly sense of crisis hit him, and he instinctively wanted to dodge, but the spear thrown by Yang Tong was too powerful and too fast to dodge at all. When he was waiting to die, Yiqi rushed forward and blocked the incoming gun with his body.

However, Thonmi Sambuza, who was beside him, saw that the situation was not good, and took over the killing move instead of Langri Zanpu. Langri Zanpu looked incredulously, but saw half of the spear coming from the chest of Thonmi Sambuza Coming out, he gritted his teeth and galloped forward.

At this time, Yang Tong had already been stopped by many soldiers risking their lives, and it was too late to chase him, let alone put down his horse and hunt him with a bow, otherwise he would be killed by Tubo soldiers.In desperation, he could only get angry at the Tubo soldiers.

The horses flew up and down, and all the enemies standing in front of them were killed. Even if the enemies resisted, their weapons were often thrown off their weapons, and they were even smashed off the horses with their heads covered...

On the battlefield, Yang Tong is the arrow of the sharp arrow. Wherever it goes, the enemy howls and falls from the horse, and there is hardly a single general.

The soldiers of the Sui army saw the emperor's great power, clamored and raised their weapons, and frantically chased and killed the remnants of the Tubo army. They were forced to withdraw until they reached the enemy's camp.
