"Kill!"
On the five thousand Tibetan cavalry led by Qinling went straight to the firearm prison position, and neither side stopped the process of quarrelling with each other and inviting them to surrender.
Both of them know that they have a gunpowder secret and an opportunity to wait in ambush here for a long time. There is no room for relaxation between the two sides. There is only a battle of life and death.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!" a sharp arrow shot at the Tubo army. I saw a 300 member cavalry team of the Tang army constantly sparing the five thousand Tubo army, trying to block the charge of the Tubo army.
This is the 300 firearms officers and soldiers led by Xue Rengui. Their battle plan is to contain the Tubo cavalry as much as possible.
"Remember, you''ll leave with one blow. Don''t love war." Xue Rengui shouted. Behind him, a group of firearm officers and men responded proudly. Other firearm officers and men were arranging a vehicle array in the sand. They didn''t need horses. Three hundred firearm officers and men brought out all the horses. All of them were the best match of one person and three cavalry, and they didn''t need to cherish horsepower at all.
"Yes!" three hundred firearm supervisors shouted one after another, raising their bows and crossbows to the Tubo cavalry,
Naturally, the Tibetan cavalry were unwilling to be beaten passively, and raised their bows to fight back. However, they found that the Tang army retreated immediately after dialysis. They didn''t want war results at all, they just wanted to harass the Tubo army.
On the Qin mausoleum, who was determined to kill the mojiazi, naturally did not want to be dragged back by this small group of Tang cavalry. With a big hand, a group of 500 Tibetan cavalry immediately came forward to separate the Tibetan army and began to drive away the Tang cavalry.
However, when the Tubo soldiers came forward to drive them away, the 300 Tang cavalry would clap their horses and leave. If a small group of Tubo cavalry rushed forward, the 300 cavalry would kill them like wolves. If a large group of Tubo cavalry caught up.
When the 300 cavalry retreated, they did not forget to look back and shoot at the Tubo cavalry. From time to time, they threw round grenades from the cavalry. When the Tubo cavalry arrived, the grenades exploded one after another, immediately blocking the pursuit of the Tubo cavalry. In this way, the 300 Tang cavalry kept a certain distance from the 500 Tubo cavalry, The Tang cavalry can easily kill the Tubo cavalry, but the Tubo cavalry''s bows and arrows often fail. Occasionally, some bows and arrows hit the Tang army, but it is the end of a powerful crossbow, and will not cause harm to the firearms officers and soldiers wearing armor at all.
The only possible chance is to hit the Tang army''s war horses, but most of the Tang Army rode three times. Once the war horses were injured, they would change horses immediately. Before long, there were only 300 of the 500 Tibetan cavalry left, and a full 200 Tibetan cavalry casualties were under the Tang army''s tactics.
"Hahaha! Toastmasters are really good at flying kites!" Xue Rengui said happily. Seeing that the Tibetan cavalry had been transferred far away, he waved his hand and was about to rush back to destroy the Tibetan cavalry, but he saw that the Tibetan cavalry retreated one after another and rushed back to most of the Tibetan.
Xue Rengui frowned and secretly praised the Tubo general. He saw through his intention and took the initiative to recall Tang Jun, which failed his intention again.
"My subordinates are ashamed and have lost two hundred Tibetan warriors." Zamu, the Tibetan centurion, said with a ashamed face. He is a famous Tibetan warrior. Now he has been brushed around by Tang generals. He has suffered heavy losses, but the loss of Tang army is very small.
On the Qin mausoleum, he did not blame Zhamu, but solemnly said, "gunpowder is really extraordinary."
He saw with his own eyes that Zhamu was about to catch up with Tang Jun, but he was blocked by Tang Jun with gunpowder. How can such sharp weapons not make him excited.
"Mo Chi! You lead Qianqi immediately. You must destroy the three hundred Tang cavalry. Don''t let him harass my son and attack the Mojia Zi." Lun Qinling''s face was dignified and his eyes stared at the firearm monitoring vehicle array in the sand. The high ink words directly told Lun Qinling that Mojia Zi was in the vehicle array, which was a kind of provocation.
"Yes! Childe!" Mo Chi responded and immediately led the thousand cavalry to meet Xue Rengui. Xue Rengui immediately withdrew and wanted to continue to attack Mo Chi''s thousand man team with kite tactics. However, Mo Chi was very cautious and didn''t fall for it. He drove Xue Rengui directly.
Xue Rengui couldn''t help humming in his heart. You thought the general had nothing to do. Then he took up the steel crossbow and shot at the Tibetan cavalry. Mochi waved his big hand, but the Tibetan cavalry fought back one after another. However, he found that the steel crossbow of the Tang army had an extremely long range. Although the Tibetan bows and arrows were all superior bows and arrows, they couldn''t be compared with the steel crossbow of the Tang army. In contrast, he immediately suffered a great loss.
Mo Chi didn''t know that the standard weapon of the firearm supervisor was the most advanced weapon of the Tang army. This steel crossbow was made of the third generation of Mohist steel. Its flexibility, range and durability were greatly improved. It can be shot many times. Unlike bows and arrows, if you shoot more than ten times in a row, your arm will be painful and embarrassed. You need to rest for a period of time to continue shooting.
Mo Chi immediately changed his tactics. First, he drew a distance. Relying on the large number of people, he began to hunt Xue Rengui. Fortunately, Xue Rengui saw the opportunity early, otherwise he would suffer a great loss. Then he dared not be too close. For a moment, a thousand Tibetan cavalry and three Hundred Tang troops were in a stalemate.
Merton held a telescope and saw that Xue Rengui was restrained in the Gobi desert, but it restrained thousands of troops of the Tubo army, which has reduced a lot of pressure for the firearms prison.
Even he can clearly see the Tibetan soldiers eager to try on the Gobi desert, 700 against 3800. Even if they are brave and good at fighting, they will be worried. However, Merton is very calm.
He saw special gunpowder weapons on the firearm supervision vehicle array. Although gunpowder has been born for several years and the firearm supervision has been established for several years, the firearm supervision has only developed a thousand people. The military is more willing to believe in cold swords than to use up gunpowder weapons like firesticks.
"In today''s war, the world will see the real power of gunpowder." if the firearm prison breaks the city under Gaochang City, the world will be shocked, but it can only be used on specific occasions. Today''s war will be the first time that hot weapons shine in actual combat.
"Mohou, can we stop the Tubo army?" Qu Zhisheng was frightened.
Merton grinned and said, "don''t worry, who am I, the noble MOH family? Even Gaochang city can be destroyed with one blow. It is said that one person can reach ten thousand troops, and one piece of Tubo army is only five thousand troops and horses. It''s nothing at all."
Qu Zhisheng couldn''t help but draw from the corner of his mouth. Although Mozi claimed that one person could reach ten thousand troops, it just said the value of Mozi, not that you Mozi could defeat tens of thousands of troops alone. However, although Qu Zhisheng doubted in his heart, seeing Mozi''s calm expression of emotion, his original panic disappeared.
Seeing that mojiazi was so calm, other firearms supervisors and officers were immediately determined, and they often carried out attack and defense drills. Naturally, the firearms in their opponents were full of confidence. Seeing all this, Qu Zhisheng sighed: "I''m not as much as mojiazi."
However, in his heart, he hoped that mojiazi would work miracles again. After all, he fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty and could be a Duke of Jincheng County, which could save his life and wealth. However, if he fell into the hands of Tubo, I''m afraid it wouldn''t be necessarily.
When Qin Ling saw the motorcade in the sand, he smiled coldly and pointed at it with a big hand: "there are no more than 1000 firearms, but there are 300 Tang riders outside. There are only 700 officers and soldiers around mojiazi, but there are 3800 troops in our army. I will win this battle. Zhamu, my childe ordered you to be the vanguard and atone for your meritorious deeds. As long as you can get the head of mojiazi and reward a thousand liang of silver."
Zhamudun said enthusiastically, "thank you, childe."
3800 officers and men against 700 Tang troops, even if they dismount to fight, in the view of Tubo officers and men, Tubo will win this battle.
"Attack!" with the order of the imperial mausoleum, Zhamu took the lead to rush to the vehicle array of the firearm prison in the sand, and the first confrontation between hot weapons and cold weapons in history officially began.
"Kill!" Zamu roared and rushed to the firearm prison position with a weapon in his hand.
Suddenly, the horse under his crotch whined, stumbled and fell to the ground, and Zamu rolled skillfully. Then he landed smoothly. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain on his back. Zamu took it out with a touch of pain. He saw a bloody iron spike with four sharp corners in his hand, and looking around, the whole sand can be said to be full of these sharp iron spikes, Many Tibetan war horses were attacked one after another, and suddenly people turned upside down.
"Tang Jun is so mean!" Zhamu roared. Tang Jun buried the iron thorn in the yellow sand. They were attacked one after another.
"Tribulus terrestris?" Qu Zhisheng watched the Tubo people turn their horses, and couldn''t help blurting out his way.
Morton looked at Qu Zhisheng in surprise. Qu Zhisheng said with a bitter smile: "Mozi · preparing the city gate says that there are ginseng stones and briers at the city gate to resist the enemy. I think at the beginning, the sinners used this move and arranged a large number of iron briers under Gaochang city. However, marquis Mo never thought of breaking the city through the city gate."
At that time, Qu Zhisheng could be said to have made sufficient preparations for the battle. However, the firearm supervisor''s hot-air balloon and gunpowder frightened him and almost destroyed the weapons of Gaochang city. Only then did he make up his mind to surrender.
Merton couldn''t help laughing awkwardly. He didn''t expect that Qu Zhisheng was still a fan of Mohism. At present, he was embarrassed and said, "iron thistle is a sharp weapon for defense. It''s not only an enemy of cavalry, but also a wonderful way to prevent the enemy from sneaking camp. Of course, it can also have another wonderful use."
"There''s another wonderful use." Qu Zhisheng couldn''t help himself. After the horses of Tubo cavalry were stabbed by iron thistles, they dismounted and attacked one after another. Unexpectedly, he found an attack route without iron thistles. When Qu Zhisheng was nervous, he suddenly heard Merton''s order, the stone throwing machine behind him roared, and explosive bags roared, Tibetan soldiers who gathered to charge.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" a series of explosions were reflected in Qu Zhisheng''s eyes with the light of the fire. He was very familiar with this kind of explosion. He thought that his Gaochang palace was often bombed by explosives at the beginning. However, how frightened he was when he was bombed at the beginning. It''s great to see Tubo soldiers today.
"It turned out that the iron thistle still has such wonderful functions." Qu Zhisheng couldn''t help but sigh. It was the distribution of iron thistle that Mozi cleverly led the Tubo soldiers together and directly threw gunpowder bombing with a stone throwing machine. He immediately admired Mozi.
"Withdraw! Withdraw!" Lun Qinling roared and called back the troops. Those Tubo soldiers who had survived the gunpowder bombing were frightened and withdrew immediately. After Lun Qinling counted the number, he found that hundreds of Tubo warriors fell in the bombing, and Zamu, who was in front of the charge, narrowly escaped the bombing and returned with lingering fear, And his 500 man team now has only 200 people left.
When Qu Zhisheng watched the Tibetan army retreat, he frowned and said, "the iron thistle can only be placed at the key intersection, and our army can attack everywhere in the middle of the sand. After the Tibetan army withdrew, it will take a detour to attack us."
Merton nodded and said, "although that''s the case, we can use Tribulus terrestris to guide the direction of Tubo''s attack, which is what Mo needs."
Qu Zhisheng was shocked. Yes, the position of mojiazi was composed of 200 carriages, which was not conducive to defense. Once a large number of iron thistles were arranged, it was enough to guide the attack direction of the Tibetan army. In this way, the defensive pressure of the firearms prison was greatly reduced.
Sure enough, after a trial of the Qin mausoleum, he found that the firearm supervisor focused on the East and north of Tribulus terrestris, but there were few in the South and West. He immediately realized that the South and West were the battlefields chosen by Mozi.
"MOH family! You are so confident when you are in such a desperate situation that you dare to provoke me." Lun Qinling snorted coldly.
"Young master, I''d like to be a striker again and personally cut off the head of the Mohist School and give it to the young master." Zamu said ferociously. He was frustrated by the Tang army again and again and wanted to vent urgently.
On Qin Ling''s dignified look at the firearm supervisor position that is still as stable as Mount Tai, and then look at Tang Qi, the firearm supervisor who desperately wants to come to rescue, but is repeatedly blocked by Mo Chi. He can''t help but coldly exclaim: "he is worthy of his father''s eyes. Mozi really has two brushes, but he doesn''t know the way. In front of absolute strength, all his struggles are futile."
"Kill the Mozi family!" the Tubo soldiers roared.
"This time, I want the whole army to crush the mojiazi and defeat the mojiazi in one fell swoop. No matter what''s ahead, even if I use the corpse of a war horse, I will kill him in front of the mojiazi." on Qinling''s ruthless way.
Today, the military strength of Tubo is five times that of the Tang army, and Tubo is all precious cavalry. As long as they attack in front of the battle, they can crush the whole firearms prison. At that time, he will personally kill the head of Mohist Zi to relieve his hatred.
"Doodle!" sounded with the horn.
This time, more than 3000 Tubo cavalry immediately rushed to the firearm supervision position. Even if the sand was not conducive to the charge, these Tubo soldiers still urged their horses to come forward. They found that with horses blocking, their gunpowder damage could be greatly reduced.
Sure enough, in the sand in the South and North, Mozi didn''t spread iron thistles here, which relieved Lun Qinling, but he couldn''t help wondering what means Mozi had to dare to fight with 3000 Tubo cavalry.
"Three hundred steps! The catapult is ready!"
With Merton''s order, a group of catapults immediately threw out explosive bags again. However, this time, Tubo soldiers had already had a way to deal with it and immediately dispersed them, even if the effect of the catapult was greatly reduced.
On seeing this, Qin Ling could not help showing a trace of pride. He thought he had found a way to restrain the gunpowder. With a wave of his hand, the horn of reunion blew more quickly,
"Two hundred steps! Three shots!"
Seeing the Tubo soldiers approaching, Merton ordered again.
In an instant, all the officers and men in charge of firearms began to raise the steel crossbow, and began to shoot in three sections. In the powerful range equipped with the steel crossbow, they exerted their power incisively and vividly. The Tubo soldiers immediately fell on their backs. Even if they had leather shields in their hands, they still suffered heavy losses.
On Qin Ling''s appearance, he understood why his father attached so much importance to mojiazi and the firearm supervisor. The equipment of the firearm supervisor was really great, but on Qin Ling, there was no turning back. He firmly believed that as long as he could charge to 150 steps, the bows and arrows of Tubo soldiers could fight back, and then it would be the end of mojiazi.
Soon, from 200 steps to 150 steps, it was extremely difficult. Under the three-stage shooting, almost every step would bring down many Tubo soldiers. After paying so much sacrifice, Tubo soldiers finally pushed forward to 150 steps.
"The victory is settled!" on the Qin mausoleum, he couldn''t help but rejoice. As long as the Tubo soldiers and firearms supervision vehicle array reached the range of the Tubo archers, the number and archery of the Tubo archers would surely be able to suppress the Tang army, so that the rest of the battle would be easier.
Under the cover of a shield, the bow and arrow in his hand are full moon. This time, he must make Tang Jun pay the price. However, he just aimed at the target, suddenly a strong sun came, and his eyes were white. The bow and arrow in his hand couldn''t help but get out and shoot on the sand in the distance.
"Come again!" Zha Mu couldn''t help feeling sad and angry. Such a level is a great humiliation to a divine Archer, and the culprit is that strong stabbing light, but they charged with the sun on their back. Where will there be sunshine in the North! Taking advantage of the remaining light, he found that there were several round things in the traffic array of the Tang army, shaking back and forth against the speed of light reflected by the sun, shining in the eyes of the Tibetan soldiers.
"Mozi is really cunning!" on Qin Ling''s face, he was embarrassed. At this time, he realized that his father Lu Dongzan said that it''s not too much to pay attention to Mozi. There are always strange things in Mozi''s hands, and he has repeatedly made miraculous achievements. Now he understands why Mozi chose the battlefield in the South and the west, so that Mozi can make full use of the sun, Although these lights can not prevent Tubo soldiers from shooting arrows, they can greatly reduce the accuracy of bows and arrows. I''m afraid Tubo''s desire to use bows and arrows to suppress Tang army will fail.
"Optics! Concave mirror!" Qu Zhisheng, the nearest one, saw it most carefully. It was not a disc, but a huge concave mirror, which integrated the sunlight into the speed of light. Even when he was watching, he felt dazzling, not to mention being fully irradiated by this beam. Everyone would subconsciously avoid it, not to mention pulling a bow and shooting an arrow. I''m afraid there was no accuracy at all.
Seeing the bow and arrow of Tubo soldiers flying in disorder, it could not form an effective coverage attack at all. Moreover, the Tang army was well-equipped and could not cause effective damage at all.
On the contrary, the three-stage shooting of the bow and crossbow of the firearms supervisor is still stable. Even some Tubo soldiers directly block their heads with shields in order to avoid the dazzling light. They have no time to observe the crossbow and arrow. For a while, the casualty rate of Tubo soldiers has increased greatly.
On the Qin mausoleum, when he saw one Tubo soldier fall down, his heart immediately dropped blood. As far as his eyes were concerned, hundreds of Tubo soldiers fell down. If he led a thousand troops and horses to attack mojiazi according to his original plan, I''m afraid they would all be killed before they arrived in the formation.
"Less than a hundred steps, I have at least three thousand Tibetan soldiers and men, and you have no power to return to heaven anyway." on Qin Ling coldly said, in a short charge of hundreds of steps, nearly 800 soldiers and thousands of horses fell, but as long as you can kill the mojiazi, it is worth it.
"Less than a hundred steps." Qu Zhisheng was shocked. He hid aside and observed the battlefield. This was an experience he had never had as a prince. Even in the original war under Gaochang City, he was just a remote command.
"How should Mozi turn over?" Qu Zhisheng frowned. "By the way, Mozi hasn''t used firearms yet!"
Qu Zhisheng''s heart moved. He saw that the Mohist son on one side still commanded calmly, even if the enemy on the other side was less than a hundred steps, he was still calm,
"Fifty steps." the distance of fifty steps is very short. I''m afraid Tubo soldiers have reached it with one charge, but the Tang army still shoots in three stages step by step.
Qu Zhisheng can even see that the bows and arrows fought back by Tubo soldiers are becoming more and more powerful. Even the convex mirrors used to reflect the sun are full of bows and arrows, which have long been out of use. Even the fully armed firearms supervisors and soldiers began to suffer casualties.
"A swarm of bees!" suddenly Merton shouted coldly.
Qu Zhisheng was stunned. Looking sideways, he saw that each firearm officer lit the lead, and the top of the vehicle array was filled with dense prototype wooden barrels. Qu Zhisheng thought it was the defense of the vehicle array, but he didn''t think it was the most important weapon of the Mohist school.
I saw the lead burning quickly, and bursts of white smoke came out of the cylinder. At the moment, the Tubo soldiers had charged to less than 30 steps.
Suddenly, a sharp whistling spread all over the battlefield. Soon, the dense sharp whistling continued to be heard, just like the sound of disorderly bees. One fire light was like a swarm of bees out of their nest, and rushed at the Tubo soldiers opposite.
However, the poisonous spikes on the tail of the peaks came out of the nest, and this fire light brought sharp crossbows and arrows. Each barrel fully carried 32 crossbows and arrows. This is a defensive weapon specially studied by Mohist Zi for the firearms supervisor, and it was made at all costs.
Hundreds of bees were in full bloom. Suddenly, the smoke of gunpowder filled the air. Waiting for the smoke to disperse, I saw that there was no one in front of the firearm prison. There was only one crossbow and arrow standing on the ground and the bodies of Tubo soldiers.
"This......" when Qu Zhisheng saw the power of a swarm of bees, his hands and feet were cold. I''m afraid it''s hard to escape even if it''s a powerful iron cavalry.
"It''s worthy of being a swarm of bees that made great achievements in the war of pacification, and it really didn''t disappoint me." Merton was relieved to see that a swarm of bees made contributions. Unfortunately, a swarm of bees is one-time and difficult to transport. He took hundreds of barrels at a time, which is the limit, but he ran out with one blow.
On the Qin mausoleum, he was cold when he saw the blank in front of the car array. This time, in order to ensure the infallible death of mojiazi, all he led were Tibetan warriors. However, mojiazi''s attack took nearly a thousand Tibetan warriors. Now he has only one way to go, that is, he must kill mojiazi in order to offset his merit.
Moreover, by the means of Mozi, if Mozi does not die today, it will become a great trouble for Tubo in the future.
