Cocoon Girl ran out of the shop, dragging Qu Zhuo with her life. She wanted Qu Zhuo and the children to hide in the cave, and she should die first.
"We can't escape, Cocoon Mother, we can't escape. There are too many people coming, and this city will definitely be destroyed. We are Tang people and we cannot be burned to death in holes like mice."
Qu Zhuo patted Cocoon Mother on the face and asked her to go back to accompany the child. He walked towards the city gate alone with a knife. He did not greet these people kneeling on the ground. These people were all dead and had long since lost their blood.
They don't deserve to fight alongside them either.
A tall war horse wearing heavy armor appeared at the city gate. The feathers on the knight's head almost touched the top of the city gate. He was wearing black armor and a black cloak. He was holding a long sword measuring two feet in length and carrying five swords on his back.
Throwing a spear, the strung crossbow was hung behind him, a flail was inserted at the waist, the huge hammer head swayed gently, the ferocious visor was put down, and only a pair of arrows could be seen from the small anti-arrow fence.
Spooky eyes.
When one comes out, there will be a second and a third...···
Qu Zhuo wanted to scream, but his throat was so choked that he couldn't say a word. Cocoon Girl screamed and stretched out her arms to block her husband. She didn't want those beast-like knights to get close to her husband.
The leading knight ignored Qu Zhuo, just took out the flail from his waist and threw it at Qu Zhuo's feet, then ran non-stop across the street and towards the rear city gate.
The number of weapons under Qu Zhuo's feet continued to increase. When a horizontal knife was inserted in front of his face, Qu Zhuo patted Yu Niang who was holding him and asked her to go into the house. In Yu Niang's confused eyes, Qu Zhuo
Zhuo began to equip himself with weapons. He tied a hand-width cowhide around his waist. He lifted the flail with difficulty and inserted it into it. He also put the bow and arrow on his back, inserted his fork into his boots, and held the horizontal knife across his waist.
There was no war horse in sight, so he walked up to the city lord who had his head stuck in the sand and said coldly: "Horses, I want three horses!"
The city lord raised his sand-covered face, stood up quickly, fetched three horses from behind the wall, knelt on the ground and used his own body as a horse stone. The equipment on his body was too heavy, and Qu Zhuo failed to mount the war horse three times.
Four strong men were called over and then Qu Zhuo was mounted on the horse.
The torrent of cavalry passing through the street seemed not to see these people, and just passed through the city silently and quickly.
"If there is any damage to my wife or children, you will be trampled to pieces by the war horses." Qu Zhuo sat firmly on the horse, turned around and gave instructions to the city lord, smiled at Cocoon Mother, and urged the horse to follow the torrent of cavalry.
Run to the back door.
Mother Cocoon saw the big flag with a very big Chinese character "Tang" written on it. Her husband had taught her this character, so she knew what it meant. She vaguely heard the cries of the children and hurriedly
Returning to the warehouse, he pushed open the cabinet and stood on the roadside with his two children, watching the army advance.
Countless war horses dragging light ballistae behind them quickly passed through the street. The city lord did not see the tail of this team, so he took a sneak glance and continued to stick his head in the sand to wait for his judgment.
This is the army. Madam Cocoon wiped away her tears. This moment was like a dream. She had seen the army of the Nanzhao people, the army of the Western Regions people, and the army of the Tubo people. No army could compare with this army.
Comparable.
The childish Tang Yin of the children made the soldiers in the army laugh and throw the food over. After a while, it was piled up like a hill. The city lord Fu Zhi got up from the ground and did not know where to find four food.
The five women asked them to serve Cocoon Mother. They carried the big basket and put all the food in it. They followed the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty and stood behind Cocoon Mother to play the role of housekeeper.
"Where is Qu Zhuo?" A young general stopped beside Cocoon Mother, teased the two children, and asked gently.
"My husband is riding a horse to kill those Tibetan bandits." Madam Cocoon replied stutteringly.
"What kind of Tubo people can he kill? Where are the things I want him to collect? Leave it to them." After Yun Ye said this, he put a handful of toffee in the hands of the two children, got on the horse and left.
The Dina Pass is not big, but it is an important route for merchants to enter and leave the desert. Now there are large groups of bandits gathering here. They eat in a mess here and there. Tubo has never been a unified country. All the Tubo people
They all belong to their own tribes and not to some tribes. They admire the solitary eagle. They will only become one when robbing, and will disperse back to their own tribes when they return to Tubo.
The Tubo people's favorite target for robbery was the Tang people. Only by robbing the Tang people could they get the best swords, the best spears, and even the best armor. This time they planned to snipe the Tang people's army while they were traveling far away.
In the desert, one hit is successful when you are exhausted.
When the people of the Tang Dynasty died of thirst in the desert, it would not be too late to go to the desert to pick up those weapons. Shanshan City was their foraging place. Those people from the Western Regions left in a hurry after providing themselves with some food. There was no need to tie the tails of foxes.
He's already a coward, so he can't be considered a fighter
Yun Ye's army easily surrounded the Dina Pass in a semicircle, and the smoothness surprised him. Didn't the Tubo people even send scouts? In order to prevent falling into the Tubo people's tricks, Yun Ye almost took every step.
Push forward slowly.
"Commander, this is how the Tubo people fight. They only believe in their own force and are as impulsive as a yak. It is precisely because of this that Songtsen Gampo, and Ludongtsen were able to easily conquer Tubo in a short period of time. These places
The way the Tubo barbarians fight is to rush in and kill them in a swarm, you don't have to be so careful. Qu Zhuo finally managed to catch his breath, and being fully armed was a burden to him.
If the Tang army dared to place five thousand soldiers densely in a radius of one mile, the commander would never be able to escape the emperor's order to behead him. If the five thousand cavalry were placed in such a small position, waiting for the commander
The only possibility is to exterminate the nine tribes, and the Tubo people don't care. They can collect some money, grain and livestock and give them to Songtsen Gampo, and then they can happily be their own big saviors, leading brave tribesmen to rob everywhere, and live a very happy life.
happy.
By the time Yun Ye had arranged the Eight Oxen Crossbow formation, the Tubo people were still eating, some were drinking, and singing was coming from time to time. A few guys who were singing happily started dancing while waving their robes.
"Commander, the position we set up is a defensive one. These stupid pigs don't know yet. They have never fought such a battle before. What should we do now? Fight the Tubo people?" Fan Hong scratched his forehead and felt worried.
According to the commander's instructions, the crossbow formation was at the front, followed by the swordsmen, then the spearmen, and finally the cavalry. This was a standard defensive position. The place was too small, and the power of the crossbow formation was infinitely amplified. The cavalry
However, his ability has been infinitely reduced. There is not even any space to detour from the side.
Yun Ye was about to send a small team to harass the Tubo people. Who knew that a Tubo man who had nothing to do and liked to stand on a high place to sing suddenly shouted excitedly. He saw the Tang army densely packed behind the mountain. His first thought
My reaction was not fear, but happiness. I have long wanted to wear a suit of armor from the Tang Dynasty. What a great opportunity.
When one person moved, all the Tubo people began to move. The Tang people blocked some wooden frames in front of the military formation. Could these things hinder the attack of the Tibetan warriors?
There was no organization, only formations formed naturally during daily robberies. Some Tubo people who had seen Tang weapons hesitated and fell behind slightly. Those young Tubo people who had never been on a formal battlefield and had only participated in robberies, aw aw.
They shouted and rushed over. They thought that this time, just like before, they could defeat this military formation with their own force. They had already overcome countless military formations in the Western Region.
Lai Chuanfeng looked at the Tubo people rushing towards him with his mouth open and asked his men: "These people don't know how powerful the Baniu Crossbow is? Or are they invulnerable?"
"Try, general, let's try and find out. I don't believe there are people in this world who can't be killed by the Eight-Niu Crossbow." Seeing the Tubo cavalry passing the range-finding arrows, General Pi killed the Eight-Niu Crossbow with one hammer.
Machinery inspired.
These eight-niu crossbows are the product of improvements made by the academy. Their size has been reduced by as much as five times, but their power has not been reduced much. Many wooden parts have been replaced by steel, and both crossbow arms are made of mild steel.
In the past, the eight-niu crossbow relied on the elastic crossbow string to provide sufficient power, but now it is different. The crossbow arm will also provide sufficient power for the siege chisel.
Seeing that he was about to rush to the front of the Tang people's formation, the first Tubo man to kill felt that his body was flying, and it was flying backwards, and it was high above his companions. Only then did he feel that he
His chest hurt very much, and a thick crossbow arrow penetrated his body. He saw a heart flying backward with him, and then he felt the boundless darkness invade him, and finally completely destroyed him.
of annihilation.
"General, you see, the Eight Oxen Crossbow can kill them. Just now, I only killed one with one arrow. This time I shoot arrows at a crowded place. Can't I kill them? Will the Eight Oxen Crossbow not kill anyone?"
General Pi's chatter inspired the Ba Niu Crossbow again. This time, the sound of the Ba Niu Crossbow's spring sounded like thunder in the desert, and a row of arrow walls made of siege chisels were pushed flatly from the crossbow array.
No matter how strong the Tibetan people are, they are still as fragile as pieces of paper under the bombardment of the eight-oxen crossbows. With every shot, the siege chisel will open an uninhabited road among the dense Tibetan crowd.
After a round of crossbow arrows were fired, the battlefield was filled with mourning. It would be fine if they were shot to death by the Eight Ox Crossbow in one go. The wails of the Tubo people whose arms and thighs were pierced by the thick siege chisels resounded loudly.
Dina Pass.
Death did not scare these Tubo people. They held up the corpses of their companions and charged forward bravely again. Such an attack method had frightened countless people before, and they imagined that this time would be no exception.
