The war between firearms and cold weapons is completely overwhelming. This scene has been personally experienced by countless people in the smoke and flames of war thousands of years later.
When the backward archers, horsemen and cavalry faced off against foreign guns and cannons, the weakest and darkest moment of the Chinese nation arrived.
This moment was still remembered and alerted by the Chinese people for generations until the people finally stood up. They called this moment "a century of humiliation."
At this moment, it is the Tubo people who are humiliated.
When the charging Tibetans were defeated by a row of volleys of three-eyed muskets from the Tang army, the official debut of firearms in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty was announced.
Long-distance volleys cannot be resisted by bows, arrows and cavalry. This helpless feeling of being beaten, the Japanese country in the far east has a lot to say. It is a pity that their country was destroyed and they could not pass on their precious beating experience to the northwest of the Tang Dynasty.
.
When the Tibetan frontline forward was completely disrupted by the Tang army's three-eyed blunderbuss, the Tuyuhun cavalry immediately seized the fighter plane and outflanked it from the left and right flanks. Like two sharp arrows piercing the ribs, they penetrated hard into the middle of the Tibetan cavalry.
.
The Tuyuhun cavalry wielded scimitars and rode horses to slaughter the Tibetan army. The Tang army still fired volley after round. In less than half an hour, the more than 10,000 Tibetan soldiers were completely in chaos.
At this moment, the Tibetan commander had only two options, one was to order Ming Jin to retreat, the other was to send additional reinforcements to join the melee.
The Tubo commander chose the first option. This time, the Tubo invasion of Tuyuhun was a bet on the fate of the country. The 80,000-strong army was already the majority of the country’s elite. The Tubo commander would not act rashly again before he figured out what the strange weapons in the hands of the Tang army were.
Attack.
So in the melee between the two armies, a rapid golden sound came out from the Tubo army. The Tubo army, caught in the fierce battle, retreated like a tide, and panicked and rushed towards the center.
The Tuyuhun cavalry pursued them, but they were shot down numerous times by rounds of bows and arrows from the Tibetan front line. Nuohebo Khan was overjoyed, kicked away the soldiers who were beating the drums, and beat the drums himself to help.
"Brave soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, press forward! Press forward! The Tibetan thieves will be defeated today, today! Haha!" Nuohebo Khan shouted with his eyes wide open while beating the drum.
Sun Congdong decisively raised the other small white flag in his hand and waved it down.
More than a thousand soldiers of the Tang Army immediately stopped firing and retreated to the formation.
Nuohebo Khan's eyes were bloodshot and red with excitement, and he shouted out of excitement: "Brothers of the Tang army, press forward! Tubo has already seen defeat. Let's work together to attack the Tubo thieves' central army tent. We will win a big victory!"
Sun Congdong turned his head, nodded vigorously towards Nuohebo Khan, showed an I-know-you smile, and then yelled: "Listen to my general's order, and the entire army will be mounted!"
There was a crashing sound, and more than a thousand Tang army soldiers turned over and mounted their horses, looking at Sun Congdong calmly, waiting for his next order.
Sun Congdong waved his hand forward: "Let's go!"
The soldiers lightly kicked the horse's belly, and more than a thousand people rushed out of the Tuyuhun army formation.
Nuobo Khan danced with joy. At this moment, the country, the throne, wealth, and the most tempting power were all returned to his arms.
Thank you brother Tang Jun and thank you for the gift of nature!
"Brothers Tang Jun, charge, charge! Kill the Tibetan thieves, kill them all... Uh, huh? Ah!!?"
In Nuobo Khan's sight, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.
Sun Congdong led more than a thousand Tang army officers and soldiers instead of rushing towards the Tibetan enemy formation. Instead, they turned their horses and galloped south. Their galloping direction was getting further and further away from the battlefield...
A Tuyuhun general also saw something was wrong and said in surprise: "Khan, is the Tang army... escaping from the battle?"
Nuohebo Khan said blankly: "They...well, are they planning to outflank the Tibetan rear army from the south? This direction...is too roundabout?"
"Great Khan, is there a possibility that they quit and plan to run away?"
The sweat on the middle-aged oily face mixed with oil and slid down his cheeks. Nuohebo Khan wiped the sweat hard, swallowed with difficulty, and looked up to the sky and let out a haha.
"No, no, the Tang army brothers will never be so treacherous. The Tubo army is in chaos. We are only one step away from victory, one step away! How could they choose to escape at this time? Haha, no
Will do!"
His voice became softer and softer. Nuohebo Khan watched helplessly as Sun Congdong led the soldiers of the Tang army, running towards the south without hesitation as if rushing to a desperate mass wedding. He almost lost sight of anyone, and there was still no sign of outflanking.
Nuohebo Khan's eyes suddenly turned red for no apparent reason, and tears welled up in his eyes. He looked at the streak of yellow sand left behind by the galloping Tang army with tearful eyes, as if he was kneeling helpless in front of his husband's grave.
The Widow of Croft…
After a long time, Nuobo Khan finally gave up and roared: "I want to kill these deserters, deserters! What do they mean?"
"Hurry! Ming Jin withdraws his troops, I won't do it anymore!" Nuohebo Khan's eyes were full of tears, his whole body was shaking, his shiny cheeks were twitching, he was silent for a long time, and he couldn't help but raise his sword to the sky and roar.
Said: "Why on earth is this!"
"Did Ben Khan not provide good hospitality?"
…………
It was not Li Qinzai's purpose to help Tuyuhun defeat Tubo. This time the Tubo invasion of Tuyuhun was an opportunity for Tubo, and in fact it was also an opportunity for the Tang Dynasty.
If we just repel the Tubo, everything will be back to the original point. Nuohebo Khan will continue to rule Tuyuhun, turn a blind eye and allow the tribal bandits to invade the border of the Tang Dynasty, massacre and plunder the border people, and the Silk Road of the Tang Dynasty will also be destroyed.
Always have someone's throat choked.
This is not in the interests of Datang.
The goals of Li Zhi and Li Qinzai were the same. Tuyuhun must be completely controlled by the Tang Dynasty. As long as the national destiny of the Tang Dynasty did not decline, the Tang army would protect the vast land of Tuyuhun better than Tuyuhun.
Sun Congdong perfectly carried out Li Qinzai's order. It was enough for the three-eyed gun to appear. He retreated after a small victory. There was no reason to fight for outsiders. Moreover, from the standpoint of the Tang Dynasty, it was not appropriate to end the war too early.
Only chaos can profit from it.
A fast horse galloped back to Liangzhou City. The fast horse held a small flag high in its hand and shouted excitedly as it rode: "Victory in the first battle! The Tang Dynasty will be victorious!"
After entering the city, he galloped all the way to the gate of the governor's mansion. The knight dismounted and ran into the mansion holding a small flag.
The knight was so excited that he forgot the rules and ran into the backyard of the governor's mansion.
It was noon at this time, and Li Qinzai was sleeping soundly on the bed. He was suddenly awakened from his dream by the knight's shout. His whole body was agitated, and then a angry look appeared on his face.
"Uncle Li County, our army won a great victory in the first battle! What a great victory!" the knight shouted in the backyard desperately.
After shouting for a long time, the door was kicked open from inside with a bang, and Li Qinzai walked out from inside with a face as cold as frost.
"I don't care how big Jie is, I'm telling you, you're in trouble!"
