Chapter five hundred and thirty second array

In the end, only five thousand old, weak, women and children were taken back by the three thousand battalions and retreated to the camp. All the remaining people were killed by the Tubo cavalry. Then these killing Tubo cavalry tried to take advantage of the three thousand battalions to break the rear and wanted to enter the Tang army camp in one go, but in the end they were shot to death by the overwhelming rain of arrows.

It was a rain of arrows that really covered the sky. Even Dazha Lugong, who was far away from the battlefield, could see the arrows in the Tang army camp roaring across more than 200 steps, and the sky on the battlefield seemed to be suddenly pressing against the top of the battlefield.

The Tubo generals had fought with the Tang army in the past, but this kind of arrow formation that seemed to never stop was unprecedented. The more than 10,000 cavalry attacking were completely frightened by the terrifying iron rain. The cavalry rushing forward wanted to retreat, but turned around and the shadow of death fell on their heads.

More than 2,000 corpses left in front of the Tang army camp went out, and more were injured by arrows or trampled by their own people.

Ten thousand cavalry rushed over, and nearly 3,000 casualties were killed or injured in the blink of an eye. How can you fight such a battle?

Even Dazhalugong, who originally thought his side had a good chance of winning, felt unprecedented fear and coldness. He couldn't understand why the Tang army's crossbowmen could shoot such a storm-like rain of arrows.

On the dead battlefield, only a few lucky people who were pinned under the pile of corpses by horses survived by luck, but as soon as they stood up staggered, their heads were cut off by the soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalions who returned to the battlefield.

After leading the old, weak and weak women and children back to the camp, Xue Zhenzhu returned to the battlefield with great swagger, asking her soldiers to cut off the heads of the thieves, and at the same time pulled down all the arrows from the men and horses and took them back.

Seeing the thief who seemed to be stunned on the other side without any response, Xue Zhenzhu couldn't help laughing when she thought of her lord's luxury. No wonder the lord often said that having money is to do whatever she wants. The whole army was equipped with strong crossbows, and then gathering fire during the war. Each crossbowman was surrounded by ten powerful crossbows with good bowstrings, and there were three crossbowmen behind him.

In this way, you can create a thirteen rounds of arrow formations without breaks. Of course, this is the only way to use arrows that is almost cost-effective to consume arrows in the world.

"Everything is fast, don't let the thieves on the other side see the flaws."

Xue Zhenzhu shouted that although this money-burning arrow formation is powerful, it is only stronger than the thirteen volleys that were originally continuous, and then it is the same as the conventional tactics.

Beside Shen Guang, Murong Fu's mouth was open, not knowing what to say. He had never seen this real "thousands of arrows shot at one go!" in his life, "How many arrows had been shot just now?"

"A thousand crossbowmen, thirteen volleys in an instant, how many do you think there are?"

An Baozhen said from the side that even if it was not the first time he saw this scene of thousands of arrows firing at once, he was still dazzled by it. In the military tactics of the Tang Dynasty, bows and crossbows were not used as decisive means, but only used to delay the charge of the bandit army. Only long troops were connected and hand-to-hand combat was the way to win.

However, the generals from the four towns and Hexi were shaken. They finally understood why their lords always said that fighting was just to burn money. Thinking of another tactic that had not been used, they couldn't help feeling pitiful for the thieves. Unfortunately, they couldn't see the tyrants who said that the lords were called artillery.

...

"The Tang army must have concentrated all the crossbowmen, which was at least tens of thousands of people just now!"

"As long as you continue to rush, the Tang army's crossbows will not always be so sharp!"

The unwilling Tubo generals began to find reasons to refute their own wavering, and soon they were excited again. Today, they agreed to take down the Tang army camp regardless of casualties. How could they be scared by this mere rain of arrows?

"Those Tang troops are drawing arrows. No matter how sharp and unparalleled the Tang army's arrow formation is, what's the use of losing arrows?"

"Please take the wooden shield and charge, consume the Tang army's arrows, and don't give them a chance to breathe."

Amid the familiar quarrels of Dazalugong, the stupid colleagues in his eyes finally came to their senses. This time, they did not drive away the cannon fodder of the remaining thousands of vassal tribes, but hesitated.

"Don't send those young and strong men to the Tang army anymore, they will only surrender and turn against each other..."

Dazhalugong did not continue to sit still. If they could not hold on, Dafan might be dead.

"Dazarugong, you are not talking here..."

"Shut up, you idiot, I swear by the name of the Enlan clan. If you are willing to listen to me, no matter what contribution you can make in the end of this battle, I will not compete with you. I just want the corpse of Zhonglun to be exposed to the wilderness, and the warriors of Dafan to die meaninglessly."

Dazalugong roared and pulled out the treasure sword from his family. The young Tubo nobleman looked at his colleagues in the army who were older than him with fierce eyes. "The Central Committee entrusted me with an important task to value my wisdom, not courage. According to your tactics, it will only make the Tang army laugh out loud in our stupidity."

"The boy from Enlan is dead, Zhong Lu is already dead, it's not your turn to give orders here..."

"Yes, who do you think you are? It's almost the same if your dad comes."

Looking at the veterans who started to scold in the blink of an eye, Dazhalugong felt sad. He wished he could kill all these idiots with a knife. The commander of the Tang army was such a despicable, shameless and cunning person. He surrounded Jishi City without attacking. These two months were enough for the Tang army to build the camp to a more terrifying place than the city.

They should not attack the Tang army camp at the moment, but confront the Tang army, waiting for the Tang army to be exhausted, and at the same time, they should wait for the weather to cool down. They should not seek to defeat the Tang army, but to be able to keep the Tang army here until winter.

But Zhong Lu died, and no one could suppress their more than 100,000 troops, so he was destined to be futile.

Dazalugong, drowned in curses, made his final effort, "No matter whether you listen or not, I just want to tell you that if you want to capture the Tang army camp, don't think about saving your troops and besieging the Tang army camp from all directions. Let our warriors take the shield and consume the Tang army's arrows and those vassals who were recruited..."

Looking at Dazhalugong who was talking about himself, the other Tubo generals cursed less. Although they looked down on this young young master of the Enlan clan, they were not really stupid after all.

"So as he said, we will lead our own troops and attack the Tang army camp. We must not give the Tang army a chance to breathe."

After discussing, several veterans made a decision and then dispatched troops. However, at this time, Dazhalugong refused their recruitment, "I want to preserve my vitality for Dafan and also defend Jishi City."
