Chapter 188 Encirclement and suppression operations
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and Dari Zampu was so shocked that he jumped off his horse in an instant!
Then he grabbed the scout's chest and asked angrily: "Where did the army come from?!"
Dari Zampu naturally didn't believe it. In this vast land, there were only three countries: Tubo, Tatar, Longxia.
If it was Long Xia's army, even Prince Long Xia was about to be killed by him, how could there be any extra troops to launch a surprise attack on Qiang land?
As for the Tatars, it is even more impossible. If they leave the fertile land of the Central Plains untouched, why attack their Potala city?
The scout thought for a long time and then said: "They... have these two Chinese characters written on their flags!"
After that, he drew the words Sichuan Gate in front of Dari Zampu's eyes.
When he saw these two words, Dari Zamp's face suddenly darkened!
Then he clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth and growled: "Sure enough, it's Chen Mu, the bug, who is causing trouble! He should have been killed first!"
How could he not have known about Chen Mu's reputation as a cavalryman who swept across the grasslands? The unfaithfulness in his heart was a lie.
Before planning to attack Long Xia, he asked the King of Jin to kill this person in order to avoid causing trouble.
But who expected it to happen after all.
Dari Zampu also reacted very quickly. He glanced at Prince Long Xia again, then bent his bow and shot four arrows in a row, the arrows hitting his limbs.
"Capture Prince Long Xia alive!"
He knew very well that Chen Mu had definitely controlled everyone in the Potala Palace this time.
He will definitely use those people as bargaining chips to negotiate with himself.
If he wants to not lose out in the negotiation, the only way is to catch this prince.
At this time, the number of Long Xia's troops under the city was less than 2,000.
Seeing several Tibetan soldiers seizing the prince, Dari Zanpu blew his horn, and the one-sided fighting stopped instantly, and all the troops withdrew.
"Go back to Qiang land!"
After that, Dari Zampu took the lead on his horse and headed back home.
Whether it was the remnants of the Central Plains army or the retreating Tibetan army, they all looked surprised.
It can be seen that with only half a stick of incense left, the Tibetan army could enter the capital of Chang'an, burn, kill and loot, completely overturning Longxia's empire.
But right now...
Especially the anxious expression on Dari Zamp's face, everyone was thinking about it, but they just couldn't figure out what could happen that could make him give up the victory he was about to win so decisively.
"Uncle, the prince has been kidnapped. Should we go after him?"
Wei Qinghong wiped the bleeding wound and shook his head with a smile.
"The whole army was almost killed, so why pursue them? But don't worry, I feel that the reason why the Tibetans retreated has something to do with Chen Mu."
Huo Quxie's face lit up: "Yes, didn't Brother Chen just make an appointment for a month? Apart from him, I'm afraid no one can make these Tubo people leave suddenly."
As for the prince, he was now pressed on a war horse.
Although he became a prisoner, he was happy at the moment because the Longxia Dynasty was saved.
Chen Mu never showed up from beginning to end, but he forced the Tibetan army to retreat. I really can't imagine how he accomplished it.
Thirty thousand cavalrymen rushed for half a day. After leaving Sili Prefecture, they had already arrived at the Youlong Pass.
Along the way, Dari Zampu has been cared about by his children, wives and concubines.
If you were younger and encountered this kind of situation, you might as well just take over the Central Plains.
But now that we have lost the ability to have children, if all the children and brothers in the family are dead, what is the use of conquering the Central Plains?
The cavalry quickly entered the Youlong Road, and without realizing it, they had already entered the ambush site set by Han Xiner.
Fifteen thousand Shu troops were ambushed at both ends of Youlong Road.
Xiahou ambushed at the entrance of the road, while Han Xiner guarded the end of Youlong Road.
A full month is enough time for Han Xiner to be ready.
The Shu army was hiding in the snow, and the Tubo cavalry was getting closer and closer. At this moment, they were just waiting for Han Xiner's order.
At the next moment, the war horse at the front stepped into the horse trap!
The huge inertia directly broke the legs of the war horses, and the first row of horses fell to the ground. The cavalry troops that followed were unable to stop, and all of them fell on their backs.
An unexpected scene!
Master Zanpu once studied the battle in Monan, and when he saw the holes covered in the snow, he knew there was an ambush!
Before he could react, the next moment he saw piles of Long Xia soldiers swarming out of the exit. Not only the front, but also the rear were blocked by many Long Xia troops.
Seeing this scene, Dari Zampu, who was standing on the horse's back, was ashen-faced.
But they saw Han Xiner, wearing silver armor and holding a spear, standing in the wind and snow, in front of thousands of troops, and let out a long roar.
"The entire army forms an array! Destroy the enemy!"
The next moment, all Shu troops moved quickly.
Five thousand people in front raised shields, and ten thousand people behind the shields, two in a team, pierced the gap between the two shields with a spear.
Then it was like a huge wall, constantly approaching the Tibetan army in the center of Youlong Road.
This is exactly what Chen Mu told Han Xiner before he left, how to defeat the enemy.
In its previous life, it could be called the Macedonian Phalanx.
If the terrain is favorable, there will be no solution to this formation. In the era of cold weapons, this can be said to be the best way for infantry to restrain cavalry.
Now that the front is full of horse traps, it is no longer possible for the 30,000 cavalry to run wildly.
Dari Zampu made a quick decision and hissed: "Attack back!"
Suddenly, 30,000 cavalrymen turned around, brandished their swords and charged towards the rear shield wall.
The shield soldiers in front were lined up in rows, covering the entire length of the dragon trail.
Looking at the huge momentum, in the eyes of nomads like them, cavalry is king on the battlefield.
The force brought by the charge of the war horse is enough to knock all flashy things back to their original shape.
But when they were less than ten feet away, a desperate scene suddenly appeared in front of them.
I saw spears suddenly popping out!
Before the horse could hit the shield, it was stabbed through by a spear.
Xiahou and Liu Jingtang in the rear roared in unison: "Hold your guns!"
The two men behind the shield struggled to pull out their spears, and the war horse suddenly fell to the ground.
"Draw out the gun!"
The spear came out again, and the charging horse was impaled on the spot again!
At this point, all the Shu troops present were amazed. In addition to marveling at the power of the military formation, they were even more amazed at the wisdom of the young prince.
They are just a group of new recruits, but they can rely on the ingenuity of the military formation to defeat these battle-hardened Tubo cavalry!
The cavalry was forced to retreat, but the two military formations continued to compress toward the center.
The layout has been going on for so long, even if the city of Chang'an fell, these 30,000 people did not make any move, just because of this scene.
Chen Mu is going to use these two waves of phalanx to trap these bloodthirsty and brutal aliens alive in the Wandering Dragon Way!
The guns were withdrawn and the guns were withdrawn, and horses and cavalry were stabbed to death one after another.
The battle on Youlong Road lasted from noon to the afternoon, and the number of Tibetan soldiers killed was reduced by half.
Sadness, pain, unwillingness, resentment and other negative emotions gathered in Dari Zamp's heart.
Looking at the soldiers constantly falling in a pool of blood, I felt regretful. The moment they sent out troops before Chen Mu was eradicated, they were doomed to fail.
But soon, he regained his concentration and captured Prince Long Xia who was captured on the horse.
Then she was tied to the flagpole with a rope and hung high.
The next moment, I heard him yell: "If you dare to attack again, I will chop off one of your Prince Long Xia's legs!"
