Chapter 96 The Western Expedition was successful and Tubo suffered a disastrous defeat

The Longcheng Xuanjia Army led by Chen Qingzhi arrived outside Chang'an City at almost the same time as Guo Dingfang led his troops out of the city.

The first cavalry of the Xuanjia Army to arrive on the battlefield was still led by Zuo Liangcai, the fierce general of Dragon City and the vanguard general of the Western Expedition.

In the battle of Xiangji Temple, Zuo Liangcai killed 37 Tibetan soldiers on horseback alone, including the Tibetan general Baima.

Counting the 23 Tibetan cavalry killed in the previous battle when luring the enemy deep outside Chang'an City, Zuo Liangcai's horse spear and ring-headed dagger today can be said to be full of bloodthirsty addiction.

However, this war is not over yet, Zuo Liangcai has also set a small goal for himself - to kill a hundred Tubo rebels in the first battle!

"Longcheng Xuanjia Army Cavalry Generals, listen to the order——"

"The general is here!"

Zuo Liangcai rode on the back of a big black horse, raised his sword and raised his arms, shouting: "Our cavalry is not good at attacking cities and strongholds. In the next battle, we only need to act as flank cover for the infantry to ensure the safety of the infantry's two wings." !”

"Leave it to the Modao team and the crossbowmen to capture the Tubo camp!"

At this point, Zuo Liangcai changed the topic and said with a smile: "However, as long as the Tibetan enemy troops dare to leave the camp, or want to escape on horseback, there is no need for my general to give an order, everyone can kill them!"

"Do you understand everything?"

"The general will get the order!"

The other cavalry officers and soldiers of the Xuanjia Army responded in unison.

Then, Zuo Liangcai ordered the flag soldiers to play flags, and 30,000 Xuanjia Army cavalry formed an array outside the Tubo camp.

With the Tubo camp as the center of the circle, horses galloped on the open land for dozens of miles outside Chang'an City, forming a huge encirclement and surrounding the Tubo camp.

Immediately afterwards, it was to watch a play on horseback.

While waiting for the war horse to regain its strength, wave the flag and cheer for the infantry brothers!

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Suddenly, a thick and powerful drumbeat sounded from the central tent of Xuanjia Army.

It was Deputy Marshal Chen Qingzhi, who was commanding the Chinese Army, who issued the order to launch the final general attack on the Tibetan camp.

Inspired by the drumbeats, the infantry of the Xuanjia Army gathered into several large square formations, with spears like a forest and shields embedded in the walls, marching towards the Tibetan camp with neat steps.

At the forefront of the army are the shield soldiers, swordsmen and axemen.

Behind him are spearmen holding long spears.

Then, there are the crossbowmen equipped with strong bows and hard crossbows.

The last one is the Tiaodang Team (Commando Team), the most powerful force in the Xuanjia Army. After the crossbowmen consume the enemy from a distance, they will rush into the enemy's camp to fight in close quarters.

Five hundred steps!

Three hundred steps!

Two hundred steps!

In the blink of an eye, the shield soldiers of the Xuanjia Army arrived at the Tubo camp. The distance between the two sides was less than 200 steps, and they were within the shooting range of the crossbowmen.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

In the Tubo camp, the Tubo crossbowmen, who had been well prepared for a long time, fired thousands of arrows at the phalanx of the Xuanjia Army under the order of the leading general.

Seeing this, the shield soldiers of the Xuanjia Army were not afraid of danger. They raised their heavy shields above their heads as they did during normal training, forming an airtight barrier to resist the arrow attacks of the Tibetan enemy.

At the same time, Qianhu, the front-line leader of the Xuanjia Army, also began to order the crossbowmen:

"Crossbowmen prepare!"

"put!"

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

In an instant, the archers of the Xuanjia Army's attacking phalanx fired a volley. Arrows filled the sky like a storm, pouring down towards the Tibetan camp. The offensive of the Tibetan archers was immediately disrupted.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Tubo enemy's offensive weakened, the shield soldiers of the Longcheng Xuanjia Army also accelerated their advance.

At the same time, the jumping team at the end of the offensive phalanx also began to rush behind the shield soldiers as quickly as possible along the gaps deliberately left between the phalanxes of archers and crossbowmen, so that they could quickly attack the enemy camp. attack.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Again, the crossbowmen from both sides were shooting at each other from a distance of 200 meters.

It doesn't matter whether it hits the target or not, just shoot the arrow.

The distance of two hundred steps was reached in an instant.

The shield soldiers, spearmen and jumping troops of the Xuanjia Army cooperated with each other and stabbed each other with the Tibetan soldiers in the camp through the wooden fence outside the Tubo camp.

Soldiers armed with battering rams and other sharp weapons knocked on the door of the Tibetan camp one after another, trying to break in.

In the narrow fighting area, soldiers from both sides tried their best to kill the enemy with the most effective moves in the shortest time.

For a moment, the shouts of killing were loud outside the Tubo camp, and swords and swords were everywhere.

"Report——"

"Reporting to Zanpu, the west gate of the camp is under fierce attack by the enemy and may be broken in at any time. General Nima who is stationed at the west gate is requesting reinforcements. I hope Zanpu will make a decision quickly!"

"Report——"

"Reporting to Zanpu, the outer perimeter of the camp has been completely blocked by enemy cavalry. None of the messengers sent to Hexi and Longyou for help have survived!"

"Report——"

"Enlightenment Zanpu"

In the large tent of the Tubo Central Army, the continuous bad news made Tubo Zampodama upset. Even his favorite butter tea became tasteless when he drank it, like chewing wax.

Dama was irritable and unbearable, and her already dark face turned even more livid.

He still hasn't figured it out yet. Are the Han reinforcements besieging the Tubo camp all tough men? You can fight continuously without taking a break.

Such an attack on the Tubo camp at all costs would be a great test for the fighting will and physical strength of the soldiers under his command!

Fortunately, Dama still holds the initiative on the battlefield.

Not only did he have a strong camp that could serve as a temporary defense line to block the Han cavalry, he also had 150,000 brave and capable Tibetan infantry at his disposal.

If most of the food and fodder had not been burned in the morning, Dama firmly believed that holding the camp for ten days and a half would be no problem.

At this time, it was already the twelfth lunar month of winter.

As long as they persist until a snowy day, the Han army will retreat without a fight and retreat into Chang'an City to keep out the cold.

By that time, it would not be too late to lead his troops to evacuate calmly.

Dama immediately ordered: "Come here!"

"The general is here!"

"Send the order and move Ben Zamp's imperial guards to the front line. We must not let the Han army break through the camp!"

"Tell the soldiers, this Zanpu observes the sky at night. Within three days in Chang'an City, there will be a heavy snowfall that has never happened in a century. The Tibetan soldiers only need to hold on until the snow comes, and the Han army will retreat without a fight!"

"The general will get the order!"

Outside the Tubo camp, the fierce offensive and defensive battle continued.

Whether it was the Xuanjia Army on the offensive side or the Tubo army on the defensive side, both sides showed a fearless fighting attitude and fought repeatedly on the narrow front.

Several camp gates are the focus of competition between the two sides.

In a short period of time, the camp gate changed hands several times, countless soldiers from both armies fell, and their corpses piled up into a hill.

"Generals of the Anxi Frontier Army!"

"Brothers from the Dragon City Xuanjia Army traveled thousands of miles to help Chang'an City. We can't let them do all the work for us!"

"General Anxi, listen to the order!"

"The general is here!"

"As my general dismounts and fights, all the generals of more than a hundred households will be organized into the trapped camp. I will personally serve as the vanguard general of the trapped camp, seize the camp gate, and kill the bandit army!"

"Seize the camp gate and kill the bandits!"

"Come on!"
