Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 543

The shooting range of the needle gun is much farther than that of the bow and crossbow, and its power is also much greater, but it is not without weaknesses, that is, it cannot shoot in a straight line, and naturally it is impossible to hit the target hiding behind the obstacle. The artillery is certainly fine, but the problem is that although the artillery has been manufactured at this time, because the quality of the steel is not too hard, the volume and weight of the artillery are too big. It is better to march on flat ground. Push, it can still be moved, but this time is a forced march over mountains and mountains. The artillery battalion is still pushing hard through the mountain roads. It is hard to say when it will arrive, at least it is impossible to catch up within today. Those who went to the battlefield, just relying on needle guns to fight against the tortoise formation of the Tubo army, was obviously a disadvantageous situation for the Tang army. After a short battle, nearly [-] soldiers of the vanguard battalion were shot down by arrows. , has reached the critical moment.

"Go on the bayonet!"

Lu Sansheng was able to become the commander of the Vanguard Battalion, he could not have just relied on blood and courage. In fact, in terms of infantry tactics, he was also a figure in the first brigade. It's not good for shooting, and since he doesn't want to be so passive anymore, he roared decisively.

"Click, click..."

The battalion commander gave an order, and the soldiers of the vanguard battalion did not dare to be negligent. They all pulled out the bayonets from their waists and buckled them at the muzzles of their guns.

"When the two armies meet, the brave wins, go!"

Seeing that the Tubo army was getting closer and closer, Lu Sansheng didn't dare to hesitate any longer. With a spear in his hand, he let out a loud roar, jumped up a stone wall that wasn't too high with a few strides, and descended With a jump, he took a big step and rushed towards the Tubo army.

"The Great Tang is mighty, the Great Tang is mighty!"

Days of marching downsizing, plus a day of bloody battles, the Pioneer Battalion, which is full of 360 and six people, now has only 270 left, and the loss is more than one-third. There are still more than [-] blows, and the strength of the troops is very different. However, the soldiers of the vanguard battalion have no fear at all, regardless of the attack of the roaring arrows, roaring The battle horn brazenly launched a desperate counter-charge.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

The Tubo army never expected that the vanguard battalion with such a small force would dare to rush out of the stone wall, and everything was in chaos for a while—the reason why the Tubo army put the commandos at the end was that they planned to use giant shield soldiers and The crossbowmen consumed the vitality of the vanguard battalion, and then launched an assault when they were able to advance to the vicinity of the stone wall. However, being charged by the vanguard battalion in this way, the fatal flaw in the planned battle plan was exposed. The crossbowmen's melee ability is terrible, how can they stop the Tang army from rushing and attacking, not only now, but also hinder the assault team from coming forward to fight. Changma Xinciji's eyes were red with anxiety, and he shouted to order the chaotic crossbowmen to get out of the way. However, at this time, the Tang army was charging fiercely, and the crossbowmen couldn't get out of the way even if they wanted to. .

"Those who stand in the way, kill, kill, and kill the Tang thief!"

Ma Xinciji is not a very soft-hearted master, seeing that the crossbowman in front could not give way, he no longer hesitated, roared, and slashed several times, chopping down his own crossbowman who had retreated nearby. Fell to the ground, he led the commando to rush into the chaotic army regardless, and strangled with the Tang army vanguard battalion soldiers who came to kill him, but seeing the guns flying like dragons, the swords blazing, the two armies met and killed each other. It's hard to tell.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

Lu Sansheng was brave by nature, and he was known as the "Desperate Saburo" in the army. Seeing the blood, he became even more crazy, but seeing his mouth screaming again and again, the spear in his hand sometimes stabs, sometimes stabs, and sometimes crosses the spear He slammed the handle violently, rushing back and forth in the chaotic army like a mad tiger, without counting breaths, there were already dozens of innocent souls under the gun.

"Battalion commander be careful!"

Lu Sansheng rushed so bravely that he naturally attracted the attention of many Tubo soldiers. Even though he is good at martial arts, he is not a super expert. In this kind of chaotic army, it is impossible to be impeccable. While picking and killing a burly Tubo soldier, he didn't notice that two Tubo soldiers rushed to the vicinity behind him, and crossed two gleaming broadswords and slashed at Lu Sansheng's shoulder. It was too late, and just as he was in a hurry, he heard a loud roar, and then someone slammed into Lu Sansheng's body with all his strength, and the huge impact instantly knocked Lu Sansheng away.

"Du Gaoshan, ah... bastard! Take your life!"

After all, Lu Sansheng is very skilled. Although he was knocked to the ground, he quickly stabilized his figure. Looking back, he realized that it was Du Gaoshan, the communication soldier who saved his life, but Du Gaoshan himself was beaten by two people. The big knife was cut into four pieces alive, his heart ached, his eyes were bloodshot and turned red instantly, he roared and jumped up, waved the long spear in his hand, stabbed one of the two assassins with all his strength, and killed one of the two assassins on the spot. Then he didn't draw the gun, kicked the other person to the ground, let go of the handle of the gun, and threw himself into the arms of the struggling Tubo soldier, wrestling with him .

"Okay, good job, Sasse, bring your people up and prepare for reinforcements!"

Although the attack of the officers and soldiers of the Pioneer Battalion was fierce, they did kill the Tubo army by surprise at the beginning, and achieved considerable results. However, the number of troops was too small. With the arrival of the Tubo commando, the momentum of the attack After a big melee, he was at a disadvantage. As soon as this happened, Gar Mosuoduo, who was watching the battle at the foot of the mountain, was overjoyed. He let out a strange exclamation of excitement, and ordered General Sasse Reining in his troops, he planned to take this opportunity to rush to the top of the mountain in one fell swoop.

"Woo, woo, woo..."

Gar Mosodo's calculations were very loud, but unfortunately he was too happy too early. Before the reinforcements of the Tubo army advanced, a shrill horn sounded suddenly, and hundreds of soldiers in green uniforms The officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty rushed out of the stone wall with shouts and guns, rushed into the chaos like a tiger descending a mountain, and swept down like a huge wave, instantly rushing the Tubo army who was fighting endlessly with the vanguard battalion. It was a mess, and the whole army of the second and third battalions of the first regiment was dispatched!

"Block, block, don't mess up, don't retreat!"

Ma Xinciji was originally immersed in the joy of being able to crush the vanguard battalion, but unfortunately this mood did not last long. With all the members of the first regiment fighting, the Tubo army was completely exposed. Ma Xinciji was so anxious that he screamed again and again, and chopped and killed several rout soldiers who were trying to escape one after another, trying to stabilize their position.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Fighting bayonets belongs to fighting bayonets, but it doesn't mean that needle guns can't shoot. Masinciji's exquisite general armor is too conspicuous, and he is shouting and commanding loudly in the chaos. How could it be possible? Without attracting the attention of the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army, just as Ma Xinciji was yelling, three gunshots exploded, and three bullets were shot into his head with high-speed rotation. Poor Ma Xinciji Before he even had time to react, he was headshot.

"It's over, it's over, it's over..."

Under the impact of the officers and soldiers of the first regiment, the Tubo army was already unable to support it. Seeing that the main general was dead, how could they have the courage to fight again, and fled down the mountain one after another. The smoke dissipated, and when this situation happened, Gar Mosuoduo was heartbroken, and after murmuring a few times, he suddenly spewed out a big mouthful of blood, shook his body a few times, and threw himself heavily Then he fell down, and the Tubo generals who were accompanying him were all in a mess... At the third quarter of the ugly hour, the night was already very deep, and the wind was not small. Sweeping across, there were bursts of howls like ghosts crying and wolves howling, which stimulated the eardrums of the sentries on the wall of the military camp. However, it is difficult to find that only sixty feet away from the army village, a black-clothed army that sneaked in at an unknown time is staring at the wall of the village that has been lit with several wind lanterns.

"on!"

A burly man in the black-clothed army, who was obviously the commander, observed carefully for a long time. Seeing that everything in the army camp was normal, he obviously didn't realize that his own army had already sneaked nearby, so he didn't hesitate any longer. He gave the order, and immediately saw more than [-] men in black with strong crossbows bent over and sneaked towards the front of the army stronghold, followed by more than a hundred men in black with wooden ladders on their backs, and a group of people waited. With the help of the wind and the cover of the dark night, he successfully sneaked under the wall of the village.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The thirty or so strong crossbowmen are obviously hand-picked archers, all of them are skilled in archery, and they have already calculated the target to attack. They stopped immediately, looked at their respective targets in a kneeling position, and unceremoniously pulled the trigger. With a slight sound of the machine spring, more than [-] steel arrows shot at the top of the wall in unison.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

This batch of crossbowmen is indeed outstanding in their arrow skills. Almost none of the more than [-] steel arrows failed. Most of the sentries of the Tang army who were on duty on the top of the city were shot and killed immediately. Only a few secret sentries hiding in the dark escaped by chance. After a catastrophe, they all let go of their throats and shouted in shock.

"Ladder!"

Before the defenders in the military village could react, more than a hundred men in black who had rushed under the wall shouted and turned over a dozen ladders, and the dozens of men in black who had already stood on the top of the ladder took advantage of the situation to turn over At the same time, a large number of Tubo officers and soldiers shouted and rushed towards the wall along the river valley, killing them like a whirlwind within a few breaths Under the wall.
