Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 975
Chapter 97 Tang Qi is invincible

Kang Yan lives outside the city, and it is rare to meet a sunny day.The Tubo people basked in the sun lazily while herding sheep.

Early in the morning, Songtsan Ganbei climbed up the hill, looking at the Tang army camp in the northwest.

Songtsan Gampo frowned, looked at Ru Daren beside him and said, "Is Chen Ying still not moving?"

Ru Daren sighed and said, "Chen Ying's son is a fox, and if there is a slight disturbance, he will retreat into their den!"

Although Ru Daren despises Chen Ying's "cowardly" behavior, it is undeniable that the camp that Chen Ying set up is a hard nut to crack.

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

It was not difficult to deal with such a camp wall that was originally made of tree stumps as thick as bowls and buried in the soil three feet deep.However, along the edge of the lowlands, the Tang army camp built wooden walls, and stabbed them with sharpened spears, forming a hedgehog shape. Outside the wooden walls, there were deer antlers all over.

Inside the wooden wall, there is an earthen wall!This is an earth wall rammed with sand and gravel. The boiled sand is mixed with gravel to build it. It is a unique wall-building technique of the Han people. It was later introduced to Bohai, Goguryeo and other places.Both Khitan and Jin used this technology to build a Great Wall against Mobei.

The generals of the Tang army in Anxi no longer have a single type of arms. Any type of arms requires more than three types of equipment. Tang crossbows and horizontal knives are indispensable. And a horizontal knife.

Although Chen Ying attacked in a hurry at the beginning, he had a limited number of arrows, a mere 20 men and horses, no more than [-] crossbow arrows at most, an average of [-] arrows per person, but he carried a lot of refining bombs.

Ru Daren once tentatively launched an attack on Chen Ying's camp. A vanguard of 3000 men went up, and in just a quarter of an hour, more than 3000 people were killed.If it hadn't been withdrawn quickly, I am afraid that [-] people would all be there.

Ru Daren would rather use his head to attack Kang Yanju City than to attack Chen Ying's camp.After all, in Chen Ying's big camp, the neighing of war horses resounded across the sky. Obviously, there were countless war horses in Litong. Once Chen Ying, like Liu Tong, linked the war horses with iron chains and formed a chain of horses to attack the Tibetan army, Ru Da Ren probably doesn't even have a place to cry.

Songtsan Gampo looked at the lifeless city of Kangyanju, and said coldly: "If Chen Ying does not come out of the tortoise shell, it proves that we are not putting enough pressure on Kangyanju city. Order the Hongying army to break the city!"

The Red Tassel Army is Songtsan Gampo's proud work, the Tubo people have always been unrestrained, and the discipline on the battlefield is even worse.If you win, you will swarm up, and if you lose, you will collapse thousands of miles.

In order to strictly enforce the discipline of the Tubo army, Songtsan Gampo specially asked people to gather the fiery red fox tail. When soldiers retreated without a collar, they would wear this fiery fox tail. Unfortunately, when this policy was first implemented, There are too many defeated soldiers in Tubo, even counting the gray and black foxes in the snow field, they can't get enough fox tails.

Later, Songtsan Gampo ordered red chicken feathers to be tied up with cowhide ropes and tied behind the retreating soldiers' heads.Such an army became the Red Tassel Army, and their salary was halved, and they were despised by the people.

Songtsan Gampo called on the Tubo soldiers to face shame. As time passed, the Tubo people regarded the red tassels as a lifelong shame, and they could only take off the red tassels with the blood and heads of the enemy.

In fact, the so-called Hongying Army is similar to the jumping soldiers of the Tang Army. The jumping soldiers of the Tang Army are mainly criminals, merchants, and sons-in-law. In order to enjoy the treatment of one rank of military merit, you have to go down two ranks or above for military merit.

It can be said that this is an army of dead soldiers.

Following this, Songtsan Gampo's order was issued.The officers and men of the Hongying Army of the Tubo Army began to discharge their offensive troops and slowly marched towards Kangyanju City.

The officers and men of the Tubo Hongying Army advanced faster and faster, as if rushing to Kangyanju City like a tsunami.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Someone yelled at Su Pinazhen.

Subinazhen looked back and found that it was Danmuji.This is a well-known warrior from the Subi tribe. He is over nine feet tall. He has already killed people into blood men and horses into blood horses.But even this kind of fierce general still showed a hint of despair on his face when he saw the soldiers of the Tubo Hongying Army rushing over.

Su Pinazhen smiled wryly and said, "What else can I do? Let's fight to the death!"

Dan Muji opened his mouth, but the words came to his lips but did not come out.

Su Pinazhen smiled even more bitterly, and she said slowly: "Don't think about surrendering, the Tang people treat us well, we can't be so heartless... Besides, do you think the Tibetans will let us go? No, they will Kill us all!"

"boom!……"

A loud explosion interrupted Subinazhen's words. She looked away and saw an orange-red fireball rising from the middle of the Tubo Red-tasseled Army. Dozens of cavalrymen and horses sprayed blood all over their bodies, and fell down screaming. go down.Not long after, these dozens of riders turned into flame knights, screaming, struggling, and begging for mercy...

I saw Xiang Xun on the city wall cutting off a stick of cable with an axe, and the throwing arm of the trebuchet threw a wooden barrel weighing more than 200 catties more than [-] steps away, killing dozens of Tubo Hongying Army soldiers. shrouded in flames.

The trebuchet is equipped with incendiary bombs, which are extremely powerful.

The soldiers of the Tubo Hongying Army, who were attacking intensively, were burned to the ground amidst the sound of explosions one after another.

Songtsan Gampo's face changed drastically, and he roared angrily, "Damn Tanggou, he only bullies people with firearms!"

Regardless of whether the cat is black or white, anyway, the soldiers of the Beiwei army used these incendiary bombs to delay the attack of the Tubo people.

Xun Xiang looked at the charred Tubo soldiers, licked his lips excitedly, and said, "This thing is really useful, but it's a pity that there are only a few of them. There are only three or four pieces each, and they can be thrown away in a few strokes... If I had known earlier, I would have brought more!"

Liu Tong said dumbfoundedly: "Who would have thought that the Tubo people would actually come up with the idea of ​​encircling the spot to send aid. If they knew... I wouldn't bring this thing with me, I would bring Thunderbolt!"

Chen Ying had already produced black powder in the seventh year of Wude.Except for Chen Ying's use of one during the Xuanwumen Incident, this unsafe black powder was never actually used on the battlefield.

As a person of later generations, Chen Ying is very clear.The power of black powder is too weak. Even in the Ming Dynasty, matchlock guns were equipped on a large scale. In fact, muskets did not have an advantage over bows and crossbows.

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

Su Pinazhen was startled, woke up from the ecstasy, and said in her heart: "Yes, although the lethality is huge, but the number is limited after all, if the throwing is over, the enemy troops will come from all directions, and they will be crushed. Thinking of this, she pointed at the Tubo army with a saber and shouted: "Kaicheng, charge me! "

Su Pinazhen stuffed the youngest son behind her back into Xunxiang's arms, raised her knife, and let out a terrifying roar from her chest: "Avenger, avenge!"

As she said, like a god of war, she took the lead and rushed towards the Tubo formation, raising her sword to sweep across, and amidst the roaring explosion, she raised her sword and rushed her horse, and was blown upside down Tubo watched in horror as these crazy guys leaped out of the thick smoke. In the next second, their heads were detached from their necks, and they flew out in a whirl...

Subi Nazhen led the remnants of Subi's tribe to charge like a broken bamboo, beating the Tubo army powerless.

Songtsan Gampo threw his whip on the ground angrily. He knew that the attempt to encircle and annihilate Kangjuyan City was shattered.

At the same time that Songtsen Gampo ordered to withdraw his troops angrily, Chen Ying led the anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition force he hastily organized, with about [-] troops, to attack Songbangbao in mighty force.

In fact, the anti-Songtsen Gampo alliance formed by Chen Ying had more than [-] troops at its peak, but it ran non-stop along the way, and lost half of its troops.

Looking at the mob who were out of breath, Chen Ying smiled wryly.

Seeing Songbang Fort in the distance, the tribal leaders of the anti-Songtsen Gampo Alliance who followed Chen Ying suddenly became uneasy.

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

"Wait? Waiting for credit to be robbed? We crossed the snow-capped mountains and came all the way here just to share credit with others?" Chen Ying shouted: "You really want Songtsan Gampo's treasure and theirs?" of women to share with others?"

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

Andonaji's eyes revealed a wolf-like glint, and he said loudly, "Of course...no!"

Chen Ying pointed to the Songbang Fort in the distance and said with a big smile: "The wealth accumulated by Tubo for decades, the gold and silver treasures are piled up like mountains, are you willing to share them with others?"

Originally, the soldiers of the anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition forces were still a little tired, but at this moment, they felt that it would be a shame if they did not accomplish an inch after galloping thousands of miles.

Andonaji asked suspiciously: "The general really used cavalry to attack the city?"

"How can there be no enemy under Tang Qi?" Chen Yingyang raised the horizontal knife in his hand and shouted: "Under the iron hooves of this great general, I have leveled it no matter whether it is a city or a camp!"

"Tap them down!"

Saying that, the soldiers of the Hook and Sickle Lancers of the Xiao Cavalry Army shouted in unison and rushed towards Songbang Fort.

Naturally, Chen Ying would not be so stupid as to lead the cavalry to attack the city, but he was cheating right now.

As early as when Chen Ying led the anti-Songtsan Gampo allied forces to set off, the Tubo masterpieces from Tiger Yi had already mixed into Songbang Fort, along with six barrels of more than [-] catties of black gunpowder mixed into Songbang Fort.

These black powders are definitely not enough to blow up the stone city of Songbangbao, but it is still possible to blow up the wooden city gate covered with iron sheets.

Chen Yingce took the lead and shouted at the cavalry officers beside him: "Let the Tibetans see the majesty of our Han cavalry!"

Thousands of cavalry with hooks, sickles and spears lined up in a neat cavalry formation, and the horseshoes raised their legs neatly and fell down neatly, which greatly shocked the Tubo defenders on the city wall.

The ground shook, but what shook even more was the heartstrings of the Tibetans
Thousands of cavalry dare to attack, then there must be reinforcements behind, this must be the vanguard
Yes, it must be so.

Sure enough, after the hook cavalry of the Anxi Army's Xiaocai Army, as many as [-] anti-Songtsan Gambo cavalry, they charged towards Songbangbao mightily.

The impact distance of the hook sickle gun is getting closer and closer.

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

At this time, the Tubo defenders in Songbang Fort did not notice the sound of "嗤嗤...", anyone who has played with black powder must be very familiar with it. This is the sound of leading the ignition.

Chen Ying raised his hand slowly, and shouted towards Songbang Castle: "Haotian is above, lend me my divine power, Taishang Laojun is as urgent as a law... blow up this general!"

At this time, there was a loud noise from the direction of the gate of Songbangbao City.

"Boom!" A huge orange-red fireball soared into the sky, and the majestic city gate tower with a height of three feet and three feet was suddenly shrouded in gunpowder smoke.

Faced with the sudden change, the Tubo defenders were either dumbfounded, dumbfounded, or stunned.Although the Tubo people were stunned, Chen Ying did not. He pointed at the ruins of the gate tower of Songbangbao and shouted: "Soldiers, charge with me!"
