Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 288 A Vivid Lesson

"Maben is dead!"

"Praising the death of Rudobu Maben..."

With the death of Zanshirudobu, a fear spread in the hearts of all Tibetan soldiers.

The chaotic crowd became increasingly panicked.

Su Dingfang did not stop the attack because of this, but threw the head in his hand to the guards who were preparing to carry the flag.

The flag of the Chinese Army is the soul of an army, and the person who carries the flag is also a fierce warrior. There cannot be only one such person.

The guard carrying the flag did not wait for Su Dingfang to speak. He understood and used his bloody spear to lift Zan Xiruoduobu's head high. Another person trapped the banner of the Tibetan army upside down on his own spear. The banner of the Tang Dynasty was high above. Zan Xiruoduobu's head and the banner of the Tibetan army were upside down on the banner of the Tang Dynasty. below.

Su Dingfang heard the roar of people shouting and horses neighing in the distance, and rushed towards the place with the largest number of people.

There was a head on the upside-down banner. Although the appearance of the head could not be seen clearly in the firelight, no one knew who the head was.

Wherever Su Dingfang went, everyone was frightened and thousands of armies were easily defeated.

News of the coach's death spread rapidly.

Su Dingfang's surprise attack force only had more than 10,000 troops. They were divided into multiple groups to attack. By this point in the battle, their vigor had been greatly reduced.

But as the bad news came, the Tang troops from all directions became like devils.

The vast majority of the Tubo soldiers lost their minds and felt that Tang troops were everywhere. In this dark night, there were enemies on all sides.

The one who really dealt the fatal blow to the Tibetan soldiers was Ashina Chungsuo...

Ashina Zhong noticed something strange after the Tubo army was attacked, but he did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

The terrain here in Dafeichuan is excellent. With the Tang army's powerful bows and crossbows, as well as the simple defense lines repaired in recent days, it can well resist the impact of the Tibetan cavalry.

If you attack rashly, you will easily get caught.

He was worried that Tibet was deceiving him.

But as the situation developed, Ashina Zhong also realized that Tubo was really attacked. Of course, he did not know that it was Su Dingfang, but he only thought it was Liu Renyuan and Tuyuhun Khan.

Ashina Zhong immediately no longer hesitated and launched an offensive against the Tibetan army that had besieged them for many days.

The Tang army who had been trapped these days had recovered a lot of physical strength and gradually adapted to the climate here. The grievances of being trapped for many days and the grief and anger of his colleagues who died in battle were all vented at once.

If not for the timely support of Qinling, Ashina Zhong would have been able to cooperate with Su Dingfang, directly penetrate the enemy's formation, and join them on the battlefield.

Lun Qinling commanded the soldiers and managed to block the Tang army's attack.

Just when the two sides were fighting and refusing to give in, the news that his brother Zanxiruoduobu had been killed in battle reached his ears.

Lun Qinling didn't believe it at first, but the defeat on the rear made him realize that the news was true.

Qin Ling knew his brother's ability. If it hadn't been for an accident, the army would not have been defeated in such a short period of time.

Some people are born for the battlefield.

This is the case with Qinling.

When his brother was killed, the army was about to collapse, and the situation was extremely critical, Lun Qinling not only did not panic, but became more calm.

His attitude also gave the surrounding soldiers a shot in the arm.

Lun Qinling said: "Songyada, you stay for half an hour, hold on for half an hour." Lun Qinling handed over all the soldiers and horses in his hands to his confidants, and led a few personal guards towards the final Rush into the turbulent place.

On the way to Qinling, officers and soldiers were recruited along the way, and soldiers who were still resisting or fleeing and retreating were gathered together.

Qin Ling was very prestigious in the army. With the shouting along the way, the original team of dozens of people, like a stream, gradually gathered under the military flag, forming a raging river again.

A resistance force of five thousand people gradually gathered under the banner of Lun Qinling.

Lun Qinling did not look for the soldiers of the Tang Army who were still causing trouble in all directions, but rushed towards the most turbulent place.

Wherever, as long as they are defeated, the overall situation can be stabilized.

Although Qin Ling did not know the battle, he was certain that since the other party had used beheading tactics, this beheading force must be the core. If the core was destroyed, the surrounding commotion would not be worth mentioning.

Lun Qinling found traces of Su Dingfang on the chaotic battlefield.

Looking at the large banner of the Tubo Central Army lying upside down in the firelight, and the looming head, my eyes were filled with tears.

Lun Qinling roared: "Let me crush these beasts!"

Lun Qinling's eyes were fixed on the opposite side, almost spitting out fire, and he urged his horse forward with a roar!

As long as they are defeated, the situation can be stabilized.

Lun Qinling's eyes were fixed on the dazzling flag, but when he attacked, he was shocked to find that the current enemy had become one of his own.

The Tang army broke into a Tibetan army that was resisting and gave up its own men on the flanks to them.

Lun Qinling's offensive was immediately hindered, but just when he was preparing to launch a second wave of offensive.

Su Dingfang rushed out from the flank, opened a bloody path, and rushed into his left wing mercilessly.

Lun Qinling looked stunned and immediately organized a team to fight back...

As a result, the Tang army once again disappeared in front of his front and cut into his right flank.

Su Dingfang used wheel warfare, using the power of rotation to cleverly avoid Luon Qinling's front, and struck his flank fiercely. Even though Qinling organized several charges with superior force, he was still unable to get any help from Su Dingfang.

There was a rare hint of fear in the eyes of this Tubo military god.

Qin Ling entered the battlefield at the age of fifteen and showed outstanding military talent. He has been in the army for more than ten years. However, the enemies he has dealt with during his more than ten years of battlefield career are mainly Yangtong, Luowo and Zangerxia on the plateau. A small country like this, its strongest opponent is Bai Lanqiang. It wasn't until this head-on confrontation with Tang Jun that he had real experience fighting against opponents of equal weight.

The current version of Lun Qinling reaching the top is the 1:00 version of the legend, which is far less sophisticated than later generations.

But Su Dingfang was at his peak. Even Lun Qinling, who was at his peak, was still inferior to Su Dingfang, let alone now?

In this battle, Su Dingfang, the war god of the Tang Dynasty, taught the future Tibetan military god a vivid lesson with his practical actions.

What does it mean? It's like using your arms to move your fingers.

Lun Qinling had no choice but to help Su Dingfang. Instead, he led Su Dingfang by the nose and defeated the troops he organized step by step.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, Ashina Zhong defeated the troops left by Lun Qinling and began to launch a counterattack against the Tibetan army.

Lun Qinling looked at the general of the Tang Army under the banner, with resentment and admiration in his eyes. With thousands of thoughts, he finally said "Withdraw!" from between his teeth.

Seeing the retreat of Lun Qinling, Su Dingfang also breathed a sigh of relief.

The battle on the plateau had severely exhausted the physical strength of himself and his soldiers, and the arrival of Qinling's resistance force had put a lot of pressure on him.
