The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 800 Gods and ghosts come out, who will fight

On the field, two mighty soldiers and horses were thousands of steps apart, facing each other at a distance. Under the command of Lu Dongzan, more than [-] Tubo troops formed thirteen huge formations. The desolate and passionate horns made the Tubo soldiers The blood in his chest boiled little by little, and his eyes became hot slowly, like a group of ferocious beasts who choose to eat people.

On the other side of the Tubo army, seeing the mighty aura of the enemy army as if devouring the heavens and the earth, fear appeared in the eyes of many Xiangxiong soldiers. The hearts of Xiongbing soldiers are at a disadvantage in terms of mental energy for the enemy troops who are galloping across their country time and time again, as if entering no one's land.After all, the Zhang Zhung Kingdom, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is also a country that believes in the strong and fears the strong. When the enemy is stronger and more fierce than them, they will not be able to become fierce.

In contrast, the Sui Army's phalanxes are as stable as Mount Tai. It should be noted that the army in this main battle is the first army of the Great Sui Dynasty, the Xiaoguo Army known as the First Army of the Son of Heaven. Since its establishment, the Xiaoguo Army has been the Yulin Army of the Great Sui Dynasty , The weapons and equipment, combat power, and fighting will are the best in the world. They followed Yang Yu in the north and south of the war without a single defeat. Even the powerful Eastern/Turkic, Western Turkic, and Great Sui feuding Goguryeo were killed by them. Bow their heads and bow their heads... These Tubo people who are all wearing leather armor and their weapons are in a mess, how can they let the soldiers of the First Army take it to heart?
Yang Tong looked at this Tubo army, his eyes flashed with solemnity. Although these Tubo soldiers were wearing double-layer cowhide armor, their weapons were rather chaotic, including knives, spears, iron rods, maces, and even earthen bows and arrows. and noose.But Cole's strong army with religious beliefs doesn't have this kind of momentum. Although Cole's army is strong, its tactics are like beasts that only know how to rampage. death, but now this army gave Yang Tong a different feeling - that is the very little discipline of the nomads!
In the past, nomadic armies almost relied on the Khan’s prestige and war dividends to pull them into the battlefield. The morale of this type of army came and went quickly. Once the morale was frustrated, it would collapse. The temperament of prohibiting orders and prohibitions is also full of danger.

This danger comes not only from the Tubo people, but also from the Xiangxiong soldiers.They have been suppressed by the Tubo people for too long and lost too much, and they can no longer hate them. It is more awe of the strong; The thought of defending the country and the hatred of the enemy have soared, and the Xiangxiong soldiers have been defeated by Tubo. If Tubo now adopts a strategy of dividing the Xiongguo, I am afraid that Li Mixia, the king of Xiangxiong, will not be able to control the interior and sit still. the throne.

"Your Majesty, the Zhang Zhung people are probably unreliable." Du Ruhui who was beside him finished speaking, and then explained: "It's not that the Zhang Zhung people are weak in combat power or will, but that when they face the Tubo people, their aura is completely overwhelmed. But because of the Xiangzhung people, the Tubo people are getting more and more angry, which is the contempt mentality of the strong for the weak."

"What Du Shangshu said is very true." Xue Wanshu also said: "If I were Lu Dongzan, I would use the Xiangxiong Army as the attack point."

Yang Tong had a feeling of meeting a "pig teammate" in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "I also have a similar feeling. In a sense, it is the appearance of Xiangxiong soldiers, which makes the Tubo army excited to win; but the Tubo army If you want to use the Zhang Zhung army formation as the attack point, you must at least achieve the goal of stalemate with the front army, otherwise the soldiers attacking Zhang Zhung will be outflanked by the forward army. But do you think the Tibetan soldiers can break through the front army?"

"It's difficult, but don't be careless." Du Ruhui said concisely.

"Yes!" Yang Tong nodded silently, and ordered: "Let the crossbowmen line up in front of Xiangxiong's soldiers, and Yang Feng will lead the Qiang soldiers to support them from the north."

"As ordered."

Following Yang Tong's order and the flag soldiers waved their flags, the lineup of the Sui army changed slightly.

Lu Dongzan, who climbed high and looked far away, also noticed the changes in the Sui army. He knew that the general of the Sui army had seen his own flaws, and his face changed slightly. It would be bad if the Sui army replaced the Xiangxiong soldiers. .

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

This is an order to attack, and Drepung Nasheng, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, issued the order, "My sons, kill me!"

He rushed out first, followed by [-] cavalry at the same time, the momentum was like thunder, and the voice of killing went straight to the sky, "Kill!"

Thousands of horses galloped like a surging tide. Under the guidance of hundreds of flags, [-] Tubo soldiers rolled towards the former army of the Sui Dynasty to cover up and kill them, like overwhelming mountains and seas, unstoppable.

Yang Tong watched the four [-] cavalry formations that came at the front. The opponents had already rushed [-] paces away, and some impatient Tubo soldiers shot/shot arrows in their hands. Move... when they reached a distance of four hundred paces.He ordered coldly: "The bee crossbow is ready to launch."

Three rows of Mo Dao hands knelt on the ground one after another, revealing the thousands of honeycomb crossbows lined up behind them. The door opened, and the crossbow arrows rose slowly. The thirty iron crossbow bolts in the crossbow box pointed coldly at the sky, The bowstrings on both sides have also been tightened, and a thousand bee crossbows are lined up, aiming at the thousands of troops rushing forward, and a cruel battle is about to break out.

Yang Tong calmly watched the thousand honeycomb crossbows with anticipation.In the past one or two years, although he has not launched a large-scale war in the surrounding area, Li will use military training as the purpose every year to carry out indiscriminate attacks on some nomadic peoples on the grassland who are hostile to the Sui Dynasty. Great Sui’s fierce reputation and deterrent four fortresses are also tests of new weapons, and craftsmen accompany the army every time, carefully recording the pros and cons of weapons, and then research and improve them. The result of this is that the Great Sui Army Fighting became more and more refined, regardless of tactics or weapons and equipment, it had already entered a glorious period. Sometimes a brigade of one hundred soldiers of the Sui army could break through a small and medium-sized tribe.

"emission."

While Yang Tong was thinking, the murderous Tubo army had already entered the range of the honeycomb crossbow, and General Huben immediately issued a combat order.

The sound of the war drum of "咚咚咚" suddenly sounded. This is the order to shoot the honeycomb crossbow. Thousands of honeycomb crossbows have been ready for a long time. Only a "click" sound was heard, and the powerful iron crossbow arrows were shot out instantly. The dense arrows The rain quickly formed a net of arrows, shooting towards the galloping cavalry like a storm.

The sound of the cellular crossbows firing almost simultaneously was very loud. Thousands of cellular crossbows fired at the same time. The sound was not inferior to the explosion of thunder, and it made people's eardrums buzz.

"Whoa!"

Tens of thousands of crossbow arrows streaked across the sky, and the sound they made was sharp and piercing, no worse than modern warfare.When Yang Tong heard it, he thought he was in a modern battlefield.

A thousand honeycomb crossbows can fire [-] iron arrows at a time, which requires the support of a strong national power. Today is also the first time the Sui army has used it on a large scale, and it has created an amazing lethal effect.

Although the Tubo soldiers held large shields, they could not withstand the shooting of strong arrows at all. The powerful crossbow arrows smashed the shield and penetrated the leather armor. The huge thrust even directly shot the cavalry off the horse. The front of the horse was covered with leather armor They were also shot through by heavy arrows one after another, and fell to the ground screaming.

If the catapult produces a shocking effect that is not strong in killing the enemy, then the honeycomb crossbow is completely opposite. The effect of killing the enemy is quite obvious. The overwhelming attack like locusts makes the densely rushing Tubo cavalry unable to hide. , There is no way to retreat.

With only one round of 5000 arrows, most of the [-] Tubo cavalry who were galloping ahead were shot down, leaving less than a thousand cavalry safe and sound, and the ground was full of soldiers and horses howling in pain.

With just four rounds of crossbow shooting, [-] Tubo cavalry suffered heavy casualties, and the dead bodies were piled up a hundred paces away. The remaining three or four thousand cavalry finally responded. They were so frightened that they turned their horses and ran away.

However, he abandoned literature and went to martial arts, and was promoted to General Hu Ben, a crossbow soldier, but Lai Ji did not intend to let them go. He gritted his teeth and said, "Shoot me, and none will be left!"

Another round of arrow rain.

The [-] forwards of the Tubo army were exhausted, and Drepung Nasheng remained on this land forever.

Yang Tong was also so surprised that his jaw almost dropped. The scene in front of him was really shocking. It was no different from the modern society being covered by artillery fire. The only difference was that the densely packed corpses on the ground were covered with densely packed arrows. , instead of craters one by one!However, compared with the modern war that has been blasted into dust, the cold weapon battlefield with countless corpses is undoubtedly more bloody, cruel and shocking.

The soldiers of the Sui army cheered loudly together. Before the battle was fought, the Tubo soldiers killed and injured nearly 2 people. This was an unprecedented victory they had achieved when dealing with the nomads. The shocked Yang Tong couldn't help laughing In the past, the Mo Dao hand was used to meet the cavalry. Although it can slow down the opponent's impact, the powerful impact force will also cause the Mo Dao hand to lose. In many cases, the Mo Dao hand in the front line will lose half The above, but now, the big killer weapon of the cellular crossbow finally lived up to his expectations, and played a great role with its powerful killing surface. In the future positional warfare, it can replace the flesh and blood to meet the fierce enemy. Ma Dao Shou, avoiding a large number of casualties in Mo Dao Shou.

But this time!
The Tubo army failed to react immediately, and they rushed to fight according to Lu Dongzan's prior deployment. Ba Dianzebu led [-] soldiers to kill the Xiangxiong army on the southern wing, and Meng Zhong took [-] soldiers as his rear. Continue to fight forward one after another.

Under the command of the general, the crossbowmen of the Sui Dynasty used the crossbows in their hands to shoot arrows like a storm, covering the running Tubo army head-on.Immediately there were screams everywhere, and a large number of Tubo soldiers and war horses were shot down by arrows, just like a strong wind swept by.

"Modaoshou turned to the south wing, cut off the enemy's retreat, and divided the two enemy troops in front and behind the south wing. The cavalry and Qiang soldiers of the former army attacked,"

The battle formation of the Sui army moved forward with arrows, and the enemies of the former army had been wiped out by the crisp honeycomb crossbow. The Tubo army that was attacking the south wing was about to fill the gap between the front army and the south wing. Yang Tong was afraid that the Tubo army would hit The crossbow phalanx immediately issued a new order to use the army of the Sui Dynasty to completely replace the Xiangxiong soldiers.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The drum sounded, which was a signal for the former army to take the initiative to attack. Mo Daoshou turned around and moved southward step by step. Every step, a wave of troops would be cut to pieces.At the same time, the former army cavalry guarding Mo Daoshou suddenly moved out, and quickly surrounded and closed Tubo.The Qiang soldiers were like a sharp arrow, piercing from the northwest to the south wing, replacing the Xiangxiong soldiers, and took over the Tubo south wing forward.
"Attack on the northern wing, and attack the enemy's northern wing phalanx." Seeing that the encirclement was completed, Yang Tong gave the order to the northern wing army to attack.

The Tubo army has more than 1 people, [-] forwards have been wiped out, and another [-] have been thrown to the south wing. The remaining troops are only more than [-] rear troops, and the north wing, which is led by Dazan Gampo There are [-] elite soldiers and [-] soldiers who plan to set fire to the bull formation.

Yang Tong was condescending and saw that the opponent's fire ox array was not well prepared in advance. More than 2000 cows were still in a state of chaos. A number of soldiers on the northern wing of Tubo did not give way, and simply launched an active attack; as long as the two armies were stuck together, the cows would flee in all directions when they were frightened, and the fire cow formation would naturally not be able to catch fire.

On the north wing, they fought with Tubo.

"The rear cavalry attack and attack the enemy's rear." This was Yang Tong's last order, which was equivalent to a full-scale counterattack.

"Boom~"

The rear army formed a dense cavalry formation with the power to destroy everything, passed through the gaps of the honeycomb ballista, and swept towards Lu Dongzan two miles away like a stormy sea.

Dozens of generals looked nervously at Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan's expression was very complicated, and his eyes were full of hesitation: Because the former army was defeated too quickly, the two armies on the south wing followed the pre-war deployment and killed them all at once. In the encirclement of the Sui army, and the tens of thousands of soldiers on the north wing were also defeated by the Sui army, and this was the only soldier he had.

Lu Dong admired the cavalry of the Sui Army who were sweeping over. Although the fighting spirit in his chest had been exhausted, he could not retreat, let alone dare to retreat.

One is that Dazan Gampo has fallen into the enemy's army. This is not only the only surviving son of Langri Zanpu, but also the next Zanpu used by the old Tubo Shannan nobles such as the Geer family to fight against the Subi family. For the sake of his own future, or for the benefit of his own family, Lu Dongzan could not ignore the life and death of Dazan Gampo; second, if he ordered to withdraw his troops at this time, the surrounded army would immediately collapse and become the prey of the Sui army. Thousands of people are also subjected to endless pursuit; third, the cunning Sui army behind them will not let them retreat unscathed.

In short, no matter which aspect you think about, you can't retreat, and there is a chance for a decisive battle in the end.

Thinking of this, Lu Dongzan took a deep breath, and said with emotion: "The Sui army is indeed strong, there is no doubt about it. As opponents, we should face up to the enemy's strength."

He looked around, saw a general full of fear, and continued to speak loudly: "But we are also elites who are invincible across the plateau, why should we be afraid of the Sui army?
"General Geer is right!" A general roared in a rough voice: "Who was not born by his parents, why should he be afraid of the Sui army? Don't forget, the weak Xiangxiong soldiers are still looking at us. Could it be that I Tubo Erlang is willing to be laughed at by these incompetent guys?""

Lu Dong said in a loud voice: "The prince is still fighting ahead, and tens of thousands of warriors are still fighting ahead. No matter how many or strong the enemy is, we will not back down! Today, I will use the saber in my hand to tell the Sui army that we Tubo warriors He is a bloody man, and he is ten thousand times stronger than them!"

"Hoohoho~"

The morale of the Tubo generals was aroused by Lu Dongzan, and he kept waving the weapons in his hands and roaring.

"The whole army kills the enemy."

Looking at the approaching Sui army ahead, Lu Dongzan waved his saber and gave orders loudly.

"Boom."

This Tubo cavalry suddenly mobilized, galloping like a rushing flood, roaring and shouting towards the Sui army.

The two armies faced each other in the wilderness like a torrent, and soon they were within the range of each other. The soldiers on both sides almost slowed down their horses. Following the order of the two generals, rows of dense arrows flew into the air. The air was intertwined into dense arrow nets, and the whole sky seemed to be dark at that moment, and then the arrows slammed towards the enemy with the scream of death.

However, no matter how fierce it is, it can't change the gap in range. Tubo's bows and arrows only have a range of [-] steps, and they shoot against the wind. The light arrows fall one after another and fall in front of the Sui army, causing the Sui army to laugh. .

However, the crossbow arrows of the Sui army roared in overwhelmingly. The Tubo cavalry was caught off guard and screamed loudly. Countless soldiers fell off their horses and died on the spot. The targets fell down one after another, and nearly 3000 people were killed or injured in an instant.

"Abandon the bow and erect the shield, go forward!"

The Tubo generals ordered one after another.

The soldiers dropped their bows and arrows, raised their shields, and continued to charge forward. The arrows falling from the sky kept falling on the dense shields.Some were bounced away, some arrows hit the soldiers and horses, and some arrows with extremely powerful arrows easily penetrated the shields of Tubo soldiers, nailing the opponents together with their shields.

Although the Tubo people are poorly equipped, they have continued to fight north and south over the years, making these Tubo elite soldiers a firm-willed, unyielding elite army, and their fighting will is not much worse than that of the Sui army.

Under the baptism of the rain of arrows, the Tubo soldiers finally came into contact with the Sui army. The two troops advancing towards each other, like two torrents, collided fiercely. In an instant, bloody flowers bloomed on the battlefield. , The clashing of shields, the wailing of the wounded, the yelling of generals, and the ubiquitous roar constitute a movement of death.

Although there is a temporary stalemate here, it is only a part of the war after all, and the Sui army has gradually shown a crushing trend in other battlefields.

In particular, the Mo Dao Bing, who had taken the initiative, killed the Tubo on the southern wing, who had lost its advantage in impact, to bloody flesh and limbs.As the Mo Dao soldiers advanced step by step, their front and back became a field of flesh and blood, with horse corpses and human corpses mixed together, making it impossible to identify.

However, Mo Daobing took it for granted and turned a blind eye to the enemy's corpse, step by step towards the enemy.

The entire battlefield has fallen into the cruelest hand-to-hand combat, with blood mist filling the air, and stumps and broken arms can be seen everywhere.

It was the first time for the soldiers of Xiangxiong to see such a cruel battlefield. Seeing that the Modao soldiers were like an army of devils, constantly harvesting the lives of Tubo soldiers, let alone ordinary soldiers, it was King Xiangxiong Li Mixia's complexion was also pale, her heart felt inexplicable palpitations, and she almost vomited from the strong smell of blood.

Suppressing the discomfort in his heart, the terrified Li Mixia looked around and found that the faces of the elite Xiangxiong soldiers he brought were full of horror.

When he looked at the tall watchtower, he couldn't help being startled, the Great Sui Shengwu Emperor who was still on it was gone.

Just when he was surprised.

There was a sudden tremor on the ground, Li Mixia quickly turned his head to look, and saw a small number of Sui army cavalry rushing out from the watchtower. All the power and influence, bypassing the fierce fighting battlefield, swept towards the northern wing of Tubo.

"Boom!" I saw this heavy armored cavalry rushing into the group of Tubo soldiers with devastating force. The Tubo soldiers were smashed to pieces, and dozens of corpses and horses flew out. No sound could be heard.Groups of soldiers are like the wheat being cut down, the corpses are bloody and bloody, and the blood is everywhere.

Li Mixia was stunned, because he recognized the leader of the army from the armor of the chief general, it was Yang Tong, Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty.

He watched as the densely packed Tubo soldiers looked like broken porcelain.It broke into tens of thousands of pieces, where Yang Tong passed, there was a cloud of blood mist, and the stumped limbs and arms splashed in all directions. When the blood mist dissipated slightly, the snow-white and unblemished horse king had been covered with blood. It was dyed into a tall red horse.

This scene will never be forgotten by Li Mixia. Every inch of the ground was soaked in blood, and weapons and corpses were scattered all over the place. However, Yang Tong and his devil-like army dyed the armor and horses with the blood of the enemy. A forbidding purple.

"Brother, how about the Sui army?" Beside him, Li Tuman, the princess of Zhangxiong, turned pale and sat weakly on the battlefield. , she still vomited uncontrollably, her internal organs were convulsed by vomiting, and she almost vomited to death.

"Gods and ghosts don't come out, who will fight?" Looking at the Tubo army that almost wiped out the Xiangxiong Kingdom, they were slaughtered like cattle by the ferocious Da Suixiong.Li Mi Xia Mingming knew that the person who was killed was his life and death enemy, but he couldn't help but feel a kind of sympathy for the death of the rabbit and the fox's sorrow.

Looking at the Sui army looking down upon them, cruelly harvesting the lives of the Tubo army, the Xiangxiong people led by Li Mixia couldn't help turning pale and beating with fear.

They didn't even dare to move, for fear that the Sui army would misunderstand them and kill them as Tubo people.

Sui's strength is like a brand, deeply engraved in their hearts.

Li Mixia even made up his mind that Xiangxiong could only survive if he attached himself to and surrendered to Tai Sui for generations. To be an enemy of Tai Sui, he really thought his life would be long.
