Chapter 506 Ma Chao’s surprise attack

There is no other way. You can't think that a military group like Tubo, which integrates soldiers and civilians, is a people's army with strict rules and regulations.

In this era, even after the Han conquered the enemy's city, if you look at how Hou Junji captured Gaochang in history, you will know that this kind of operation is the most natural thing.

For the local people, they either stayed and were robbed by the Tibetans, or they fled with their families. These were the two choices.

Fortunately, although the various Qiang people living here are more or less nomads.

One by one, they smelled the danger and naturally fled decisively to what they thought was a safer place.

Whether it is to seek refuge with Nuohebo or the Han Dynasty, it is at least safer than being directly looted by the Tubo during the war.

Therefore, Wang Xuance knew the news that Tibet divided its troops and rushed to Xihai County almost immediately.

"According to the originally discussed plan, let Ma Chao go to Dajishikou to stop the Tibetan army. It is naturally best for the Tibetan army to retreat. If they do not retreat, Ma Chao should not hold on and retreat." Wang Xuance said, "I will be in Dafei. Chuan is ready!"

"You want to choose Dafeichuan as the final battlefield?!" Ma Chao was in a daze after hearing Wang Xuance's words.

In addition, there are three javelins on the left and right sides of the horse, as well as a slender Tang sword.

This time the confrontation between Ma Chao and Tubo was because Wang Xuance wanted to measure the strength of Tubo.

Ma Chao gave the order, and as the flag bearer waved the military flag, the Beiliang cavalry silently followed Ma Chao.

At the same time, Ma Chao, who has one man and three horses, is advancing rapidly. This progress can be regarded as fast.

With such an army in Xihai County, Wang Xuance felt that he not only had to defend Xihai County, but also wanted to kill all the Tibetan dog thieves!

It can be said that Ma Chao doesn't know the extent of the combat effectiveness of the Beiliang Iron Cavalry, but Ma Chao really wants to use Tubo to test the edge he has polished for several years!
"All troops set off!"

"What should Commander Wang do with those Northern Liang soldiers who have not fully adapted to the plateau environment?" Li Siye, the general in charge of the garrison, asked Wang Xuance.

Xu Fengnian asked Wang Xuance to send someone to send a message to the surrounding tribes to send soldiers to deal with Tubo according to the original agreement. As many soldiers as they could come. If they didn't come and wait for this war to pass, they would just have to settle old scores by themselves!

"Thank you very much!" After hearing Wang Xuance's words, Ma Chao turned to Xu Fengnian with a smile and said cheerfully, "Your Majesty, then I will go to stop the Tibetan army!"

Except for the neighing of horses and the trampling of horse hooves, the Beiliang cavalry made no sound at this moment.

Because of the advantages of the racecourse and horse breeds here, the Beiliang Iron Cavalry consists of one man and three horses, each wearing fish scale armor, holding a spear, and carrying a thick long bow on his back.

Because the Tibetan army has a large number of people, let alone how many of them are filled with human heads, but it is undeniable that they are real people.

"Tell them the news and let them choose whether to be our Beiliang soldiers with their heads held high, or to continue to be sick men!" Wang Xuance said here, and added: "Let the military doctors prescribe medicine for those people, and you will also take it with you. They do recovery training!”

"It's nothing, just a feeling. Being in this place makes my heart beat inexplicably!" Ma Chao scratched his head and said.

"Meng Qi, be careful all the way." Xu Fengnian said with a smile. He was looking forward to Ma Chao. If he was in good condition, he might be able to take Tubo away.

When Xu Fengnian saw Ma Chao leaving, boundless pride arose in his heart.

"Excited!" Wang Xuance said, "This will definitely become the place where you become famous all over the world!"

It seems that for them, following Ma Chao's orders has long been regarded as instinct.

"No!" Li Siye didn't know where Wang Xuance had the confidence to kill Tubo, but no matter what, the current Xihai County really needs these Beiliang cavalry to recover as soon as possible. By then, even if there are one thousand more people, it will be good. .

"Is there any problem?" Wang Xuance looked at Ma Chao and asked doubtfully, "The terrain here is relatively open, allowing Tubo to take advantage of their numerical advantage, but at the same time there is no danger to defend here. When they fail, they will inevitably face an absolute defeat."

Ma Chao quickly ordered the Qi Beiliang Iron Cavalry.

If he further makes corresponding plans, he will actually engage in battle with the opponent. If he does not have an accurate assessment of the opponent's combat effectiveness, Wang Xuance will have no idea anyway.

But Ma Chao didn't think about that much. He had one man and three horses, riding in turns, and rushed directly towards the Tibetan army.

Since Wang Xuance said that he would defeat the Tubo vanguard, then just defeat the Tubo vanguard himself.

As for him being exposed by the fleeing people, or being discovered by the bird messengers released by Tubo, it didn't matter to Ma Chao.

Because Ma Chao didn't think about anything, he just took turns with one man and three horses, sprinting towards Tubo as quickly as possible!

The vanguard of Tibet at this moment was commanded by Daza Dunzu, who was a surrender to Tubo after Yangtong was conquered by Tubo.

And as he joined Tubo, Songtsen Gampo set a benchmark and accelerated the integration speed of Yangtong, allowing Dazatonzu to enjoy Tubo's resource tilt. This pioneer officer status was also something Dazatonzu had finally fought for. Come.

Under such circumstances, Daza Dunzu did his best to complete Songtsen Gampo's mission.

Roads were made across mountains and bridges were built across rivers. Although Dazatonzu did not think he would encounter Tang people at this time, after all, the straight-line distance from Xihai County was more than 200 kilometers.

If you want to ride a horse, the detour will take you more than 300 kilometers. Although Daza Dunzu didn't know the specific distance, he knew very well that it was impossible to encounter Beiliang Iron Cavalry here.

"Damaben, what kind of people are the Northern Liang Iron Cavalry like?" Pioneer Officer Halido rode his horse to the side of Daza Dunzu and asked.

"I don't know!" Daza Dunzu clenched his fists and said seriously, "But I know that the opponent is definitely very strong, and he is an elite with dual talents!"

"Double talents!" Hariduo couldn't help showing a look of horror when he heard what Daza Dunzu said, "Da Maben, since you know that the Northern Liang Army is so powerful, why do you still want the position of the vanguard officer? We don't Maybe I can beat him!"

"Because I want to revive the tribe!" Ancestor Dazaton said, "Even if the original Yangtong has been destroyed, I must let a new Yangtong be born in my hands.

So either I have Danma's blessing like Dongzan, or I have to train an elite with at least two talents. If you don't fight on the battlefield, you will never have a chance! "

"Da Maben!" Haridor on the side heard the words of Daza Dunzu and couldn't help but salute to Daza Dunzu again.

Daza Dunzu nodded, just to keep hinting to his subordinates that he wanted to revive Yangtong.

In this way, you can slowly form your own cohesion and let these people help you.

Because Tubo belongs to the transitional period from clan tribe to slave feudal system, for example, Daza Dunzu joined Tubo and then planned to revive the original tribe is allowed. Even the original country can continue in the form of a tribe. exist.

"Da Maben!?" At this time, Harido's voice suddenly became high-pitched.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Daza Dunzu felt that this guy Haliduo was a little strange when he was startled.

At this moment, my eyes followed the gaze of Daza Dunzu, but I saw billowing smoke and dust in the distance, heading here!

"The enemy is attacking! Be prepared! Prepare to meet the enemy!" Daladunzu decisively gave an order to his soldiers.

To be honest, although Tubo has always been said to be a tribal alliance, a country where tribes and clans have transformed into a feudal slavery system, the ethos of Tubo from top to bottom is quite martial, and under the influence of this system, "strict laws and strict military policies" have emerged. Moderately”.

Tubo's discipline in combat is still very good.

For example, now, facing Ma Chao's sudden charge, although the Tubo army was also in panic, it quickly formed a square under the command of Daza Dunzu. Whether it was a military formation or not, it at least gave Tubo a little more confidence. .

"Kill!" Ma Chao glanced at the Tubo military formation and without any hesitation, he sprinted towards the Tubo military flag.

To be honest, any infantry encountering cavalry on the plains would be a tragedy of their fate.

Even if his opponent is Xu Ji, Ma Chao doesn't think that when he encounters him on the battlefield, he can quickly form a military formation, then turn around and devour all his cavalry.

The most important thing in this battle is to be fast, and the speed is beyond everyone's expectations!
Therefore, Ma Chao pulled out his javelin and threw it out without hesitation.

At that moment, the Tibetan forwards did not expect that this legion would attack without any hesitation from the moment they saw him until now, and even more javelins were raining from the sky!
Before Daladunzu's first layer of defense could even be considered formed, it was already opened by Ma Chao's javelin!
Then Ma Chao took the lead, holding a dragon lance and wearing glazed armor, which looked particularly bright on the battlefield.

"Soldiers, kill me!"

"Kill!" Ma Chao's response was the deafening shouts of the crowd, as if a stormy wave was crashing on the shore, shaking him greatly.

Then, Daladunzu saw Ma Chao using himself as the tip to directly charge into the Tibetan army.

These Beiliang cavalry, either holding Tang knives or spears, dug into their own military formation!

They waved the sharp blades in their hands, and they were invincible for a moment. The leather armor of the soldiers could not withstand the sharp blades of the Beiliang Iron Riders!
The second line of defense was broken instantly, and as for the third line of defense, the Daladon ancestors had not yet had time to arrange it.

The entire forward was directly attacked by this cavalry that suddenly looked like a flying fairy from heaven!

And Ma Chao didn't know the Tubo people, so he just slashed in the direction of the Tubo army's flag, waved his dragon cavalry spear, and directly chopped the Tubo army's flag to the ground!

"The enemy general is dead, put down your weapons, squat down and don't kill!" Ma Chao shouted in Tubo language at this time!

Because after the Beiliang cavalry knew that their opponent was Tubo, Ma Chao and other generals enthusiastically learned the Tubo language from Wang Xuance.

Basically, apart from swearing, the only things I learned were words like "put down your weapon, squat down and don't kill"!

When the Tubo soldiers heard this, they looked in the direction of the flag. They didn't know whether the general was dead, but the Tubo flag had indeed fallen down.

At this time, Harido, as the deputy general of the army, was riding on his horse and shouted loudly, "The coach is still here, the Beiliang cavalry is lying!"

As he spoke, Harido wanted to maintain the order of the army as much as possible. Even if he was about to be defeated, he could not be defeated!

But Haridor had just revealed his head, trying to reorganize the retreating troops, but at this moment an arrow seemed to come from the sky, directly piercing Haridor's eyebrows, and his whole body was shot down !

"He's dead now!" Ma Chao hung his long bow on his horse and continued to ask his soldiers to shout in Tubo language, "The enemy general is dead, put down your weapons and squat down without killing!"

This time, no one dared to stand up and gather the soldiers. On the contrary, as Ma Chao led the cavalry in pursuit, many Tubo people began to choose to drop their weapons one after another, choosing to give up and surrender.
