Chapter 1682: The ambush behind, the arrival of Munda
Chapter 1682: The ambush behind the scenes, the arrival of Munda
The attention and main force of the Tubo soldiers and horses are basically concentrated at the front. After all, they are facing the Song army in front. There is nothing behind them. Who should they guard against?
Therefore, whether it was the archers holding the battle or the reserve army left by King Pibo, they had almost no defensive power. Even except for the personal soldiers around King Pibo, their combat effectiveness was extremely low.
This also made this sudden cavalry rush into a flock of sheep like a tiger, and in an instant the Tibetan rear troops were overturned.
"Whose soldiers and horses are these! Kill, kill them for me!"
King Pibo was furious!
However, although the number of soldiers and horses behind them was not large, they still numbered tens of thousands of people. In one charge, the Tibetan rear army lost seven or eighty-eight soldiers and horses, and at least thousands of people were killed or injured.
What was even more uncomfortable was the commotion it caused.
The combat effectiveness of an army lies first in the quality and bravery of each soldier, and secondly in the coordination and orderliness of the entire battle formation.
For example, the combat power of a person in the Jianghu far exceeds that of an ordinary soldier. It is not difficult for a good player in the Jianghu to kill several ordinary soldiers. However, five thousand Jianghu people are no match for five thousand ordinary soldiers. This is why.
The sudden arrival of the troops from the rear directly caused the Tibetan army to panic! Even the troops fighting Shen Tang and others in the front were in panic at this moment, and I am afraid that they could not even use half of their 100% combat strength.
"Commander, do we still have an ambush?"
Bian Xi asked in surprise.
Shen Tang laughed loudly, "How?
This commander's ambush is unexpected!"
"Hahaha!"
Bian Xi raised his head and laughed, "The commander-in-chief has an unrivaled strategy. Brothers, follow me and kill, our reinforcements have arrived!"
The Song army attacked from the front and back. Although the Tubo army was large in number, it was in chaos and could not form much combat effectiveness. In addition, the Chinese army in the rear was also ambushed and killed, and the soldiers and horses in the front had no fighting spirit.
Xin Qiji and others were worried about Shen Tang's safety and had no time to make any plans, so they divided their troops into three groups and attacked directly.
The Tubo troops had also been prepared for a long time. Facing the Song army's attack, they mainly focused on defense. After all, in their plan, they only needed to delay for a certain period of time. When their main force came out, their own side would naturally be in trouble.
No more pressure.
However, the situation obviously exceeded their expectations!
Under the forcible attack of Xin Qiji and three other troops, they managed to persist at first. However, as time went by and half an hour had passed, not only did the troops not retreat, but the intensity of the attack became even greater.
"General, what is going on?
Didn't you say that after we fight here, the prince will take action immediately?"
The general frowned, and a flag bearer quickly ran over and said, "General, there are shouts of killing from the place where the Song army ambush ahead!"
The general laughed and said, "Look, isn't this the prince's action?
Let all the soldiers and horses guard them, and soon, even if they don't want to retreat, the prince will lead his troops to kill them."
Time passed by, and it was half an hour later. The Tubo soldiers and horses were resisting almost with only will, and even the general's face changed!
The enemy army only has more than 30,000 troops in total. We have 10,000 to 20,000 troops here, and the remaining enemy troops do not exceed 20,000 at most.
Not only did the prince's main force consist of nearly 40,000 people, but he also took the lead in the surprise attack in the dark night. How could he be held back by the enemy for so long?
Little did they know that the main Tibetan force they were expecting at this moment had been defeated.
The Song army attacked frantically from both sides, especially the soldiers and horses from the rear who directly killed and dispersed the Tibetan army. Seeing that the situation was not good, a group of personal guards did not dare to wait any longer, and directly protected King Pibo and fled in a hurry.
The remaining Tubo soldiers and horses were leaderless and directly became lambs to be slaughtered!
"General Munda, meet the commander-in-chief!"
When Shen Tang and Bian Xi were rushing to kill, a general in black armor from the opposite side came up to them!
Bian Xi was stunned for a moment, then said in shock, "Munda?
Is it you, kid?"
"Haha, General Bian Xi, how are you always?"
Shen Tang also laughed loudly, "We will talk later, kill the enemy first!"
Then, the two armies joined together and directly dispersed some of the resisting Tubo soldiers. When the remaining Tibetan soldiers saw the commander's flag disappear, they immediately lost the intention to fight. Those who could escape fled directly, but those who could not escape He simply prostrated himself on the ground and begged for surrender.
Almost at the same time, Xin Qiji and others also broke through the Tubo formation, and the brutal killing began.
One by one, the Tubo soldiers died unwillingly. They didn't understand why their soldiers were abandoned by the prince?
Even the Tubo general of this army was unwilling to be killed! Wasn't it all planned?
Why did you become an outcast?
I am a close confidant of the prince, and it seems that I have never sinned against the prince before...
All in all, this Tubo soldier died aggrieved and unwillingly.
Moreover, in addition to the hundreds of people who took advantage of the chaos to escape, more than half were killed, and the rest were directly captured! It is not surprising that this outcome occurred, after all, they came here with no intention of escaping, and even, because of their full defense, Even the best opportunity to escape was wasted...
"Each of us will leave a thousand soldiers and horses to clean up the battlefield. Let's quickly join up with the commander!"
Xin Qiji shouted loudly, ordered one of his generals to stay, and turned back with the remaining troops.
The sounds of fighting coming from behind made them feel uneasy...
However, when they led the troops to find Shen Tang, they found that the people behind them were also cleaning the battlefield. Bian Xi and a majestic general chatted with Jia Cong?
"Hahaha, it seems that their work is done!"
Seeing Xin Qiji and others arriving, Shen Tang laughed loudly.
Xin Qiji looked at the man in black armor and immediately exclaimed, "Munda?
Why are you here?"
Menda laughed and greeted a few people, and then said, "More than half a month ago, I got the commander's secret message. I didn't dare to neglect it. I brought 10,000 cavalry and galloped over. One of my subordinates The two horses only brought dry food for about half a month! They arrived in the Qingtang City area four days ago and received another order from the commander."
"So, the attention of these Tubo people is on you, but they have not noticed that we are following them all the way from a distance of more than 20 miles! As soon as the commander engages them, I will wait for an opportunity to lead my troops and rush in directly. Their rear army!"
This Munda was from the Poison Ivy tribe that Shen Tang had recovered during the Battle of Chengdu. At that time, he led his tribe to follow Shen Tang in the battle.
After the Battle of Chengdu Prefecture, Xin Qiji and others first led troops into Tubo, but later Shen Tang asked Mengda and others to go there. Only after they got familiar with each other did Xin Qiji and others return.
After several years of experience, Mengda is no longer the rough guy he was when he was just starting out.
After several years of fighting in Tubo, he has become a powerful general!
