Chapter 664: Rongjing's first battle, damage to both sides
Chapter 664: The first battle of Rong Jing, both sides were injured
Suolang Wangdui was so angry that he directly sent out his personal guards. Anyone who dared to retreat in the military formation would be killed directly!
At some point, Shen Tang and others felt great pressure! The Tubo soldiers rushed toward them without fear of death. The huge phalanx composed of ten thousand people spanned three or four miles. However, in Under Shen Tang's order, the iron horse kept moving, just to penetrate the opponent's formation!
We are now more than halfway through the enemy formation, but with the pressure from the enemy, our progress has naturally slowed down a lot.
"Hei Khan and Zhuo, order the two thousand soldiers behind us to rotate with the two thousand soldiers in the middle of the lineup. Don't get entangled with the Tubo people. Follow us closely and penetrate the enemy formation as quickly as possible!"
Shen Tang knew very well that once they fell into the enemy's formation, it would be the most detrimental to them.
Therefore, when an order is issued, the soldiers who are under the greatest pressure should be rotated.
As soon as he finished speaking, there were messengers waving flags to convey the order, and Shen Tang's hands were as if they were glued to the barrel of the gun, with his fingers clenched tightly, and he did not dare to relax in the slightest. While urging the horse to move forward, he kept the distance as close as possible. The Tubo soldiers challenged him to kill him! Behind him, Heihan and Zhuo also had their eyes wide open, and the sword in their hands was swung like falling snow. Wherever they passed, there were broken arms and remains!
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The shouts of killing from both sides were mixed together, and the fear of life and death was eliminated to the extreme at this moment. Everyone was numb or crazy, and they only knew how to rush forward! The horror of war was fully demonstrated at this moment!
Shen Tang was killing the enemy while observing the opponent's lineup.
Suddenly, because the opponent wanted to surround Shen Tang and others, the original lineup had been disrupted.
Just to the left front of Shen Tang and the others, there was a weak point.
Immediately, Shen Tang rushed forward without hesitation and led his troops to kill this weak position!
The Tubo people are all infantry, how can they catch up with the horses?
Shen Tang, Hei Khan and Zhuo led their troops to break out of the siege of the Tubo soldiers. The weak spot could no longer withstand the impact of Shen Tang and others. In just ten breaths, Shen Tang was the first to break out of the enemy formation.
After opening the gap, the golden soldiers behind them did not hesitate to fight. They directly tore the gap open and escaped from the enemy formation with galloping hooves.
"Return to the main formation!"
Shen Tang shouted loudly, and the large group of people made a detour and headed towards the camp.
Further forward, there is the Tubo military camp! There are tens of thousands of Tibetan elites in the military camp, and the defense is far better than the previous military formation.
If we charge the camp at all costs, Shen Tang's 10,000 troops will definitely fall into the enemy camp.
After breaking away from the enemy formation, the Tubo people were naturally unable to stop the cavalry. Therefore, Shen Tang and his party successfully returned to the military camp.
And the Tubo people also raised money and retreated their troops!
"call!"
After getting off his horse, Shen Tang took a deep breath. The Tibetan soldiers were not weak in combat. This time they were just caught off guard.
If you want to rush into battle next time, I'm afraid it won't be that easy.
"Heihan and Zhuo, please count our injuries immediately and report as soon as possible!"
Shen Tang's order has arrived.
Heihan and Zhuo were ordered to leave, but only for a moment, they returned with concentration!
"Commander, in this battle, we lost 1,300 men, were rewarded with 500 heavy rewards, and more than 1,000 were slightly injured..."
Shen Tang nodded silently. He charged into the formation and lost a quarter of his combat power. This was definitely a large number.
Fortunately, this cavalry can be regarded as an elite soldier of the Jin Kingdom. If it were an ordinary Song army, I am afraid that it would not be able to withstand such a level of charge.
However, I'm afraid it won't be possible to charge into the formation again.
At least, there is no hope in the short term.
First of all, in the next battle, the Tubo people will definitely be on tight guard. Once the opponent is prepared, if this type of Yafeng formation is targeted, they will easily be trapped and killed by the opponent.
Secondly, although the charging time this time is not long, it is a huge consumption for everyone! Not to mention those ordinary soldiers, even Shen Tang has several scars on his body at this moment, and his arms are even more It's like it's filled with lead and it's almost impossible to lift it up.
At least, it will take two or three days to recuperate before this cavalry can fight again.
"Treat the wounded soldiers as soon as possible, and the soldiers who participated in the battle will recuperate immediately. They will not be allowed to participate in the battle again within two days!"
Shen Tang said.
Compared with the solemnity in the Shen Tang military camp, the anger in the Tubo camp was even more intense.
Of course, this anger mainly comes from Suolang Wangdui!
"Assholes, they are all a bunch of rubbish! They rushed into my formation, and I let them break away. Are you a bunch of pigs?"
Suolang Wangdui cursed angrily at the group of Tibetan generals in front of him.
"They attacked and we defended. In this case, the enemy lost less than 2,000 people, but we lost 3,000 people.
Hundreds of people were even trampled to death by themselves, but you still dare to call me the Tibetan elite, which is worse than trash!"
In this battle, Tubo rewarded heavily and killed more than 3,000 people. This number was simply unacceptable to Suolang Wangdui! Although our side was an infantryman, this was the opponent's charge!
"A captain of thousands will be responsible for sixty, and a centurion will be responsible for a hundred! If this happens again next time, the leader of the army will directly behead him in public display!"
Suolang Wangdui said bitterly!
"Repair the army. We will take the initiative to fight tomorrow. We must recover the damage caused by this battle..."...
Behind the Tubo military camp is a small piece of hilly land.
And the trapped Xin Qiji and others are here!
They were fighting below, and they noticed the movement immediately! For a moment, the trapped Song soldiers were naturally extremely happy.
Although, for the time being, they are in this hilly land, it will not be easy for the enemy to attack them.
However, if they continue to be besieged like this, they will soon be in chaos without attacking! Now, with the arrival of reinforcements, they will naturally have a chance to escape.
In Xin Qiji's military camp, all the generals of the Xin family army were present!
After a moment of noisy discussion, Xin Qiji waved his hand to silence everyone!
"Everyone, we have been trapped for more than ten days.
Fortunately, now that reinforcements have arrived, if we seize the opportunity, we can get out of the woods.
The general planned that if there was another battle below tomorrow, we would also send troops to test the Tibetans' true strength.
After being immersed for more than ten days, it is time for our Xin family army to fight.
Otherwise, these Tubo people really regard us as weak persimmons and think that we are afraid of them."
"What do you think?"
"The general will not think it is possible!"
"General, I am willing to lead my troops into battle and test the enemy's strength!"
"I am also willing to fight!"
After holding it in for more than ten days, if the enemy troops were not strong, the Xin family army would have fought out long ago.
Although the Xin Family Army has just been established for more than a year, in terms of combat effectiveness, they are by no means inferior to any local army of the Song Dynasty.
