Chapter 4828 A great victory
One wave after another, the fire caused by the previous wave of rockets has not been extinguished, and then another wave of rockets hits. The riverside position is full of howling ghosts and wolves, and there are soldiers and horses running around on fire. Everyone is okay. Some jumped into the river to extinguish the fire. The horses fled in panic. Not only did they disperse the array, but they also trampled on an unknown number of people. Panic quickly spread around.
The kerosene sprayed by the rocket was thrown into the sky and was blown westward by the strong wind. For a time, the fire took advantage of the wind and the wind to help the fire. The raging fire swept through the tents, food and luggage, and became more and more fierce.
At this time, the swimming soldiers had climbed up to the other side, and under the cover of rockets, they quickly occupied the position where the pontoons were stacked. Half of them took over to defend the enemy, while the other half quickly lowered the pontoons into the river...
The defenders had no idea that these people were the enemy who had swum in. They thought they were comrades who had caught fire and jumped into the river to put out the fire and took off their clothes. Even if someone noticed that these people put the dismantled pontoon bridge back into the river, no one cared. Screaming and running to avoid the "sky fire" falling from the sky.
When someone finally noticed something was wrong and tried to get closer to ask, but was killed by the other party with a knife, they rushed forward to stop the other party from laying the pontoon bridge.
But it was too late.
A group of well-equipped cavalrymen had already crossed the river at lightning speed on the pontoon bridge, crashed into the chaotic defenders and started killing.
A huge gap was suddenly opened in the riverside position, and the defenders fled in panic, causing an open space to appear on the riverside. Lun Qinling led the army to quickly cross the pontoon bridge, and after reaching the other side, he fired a wave of rockets.
The range of this wave of rockets is naturally longer. Most of the camp was swept by fire. The strong wind blew the flames into the sky. The billowing heat wave raged unimpeded. I don’t know how many defenders were swept by the fire and howled like ghosts and wolves...
Standing in front of the felt tent, Subi Mojie felt her whole body trembling and her limbs numb. She looked dumbfounded at the fire that burned almost instantly in front of her. Her entire pupils were illuminated by the fire. She didn't know how the fire burned. Yes, but she knows this battle Already defeated, when dozens of "armored cavalry" rushed left and right as if they were in an uninhabited land and finally found a direction to attack her, Subimo Jieguo didn't even have time to order the entire army to retreat, so he led His male favorite and the guards mounted their horses and turned around and ran away.
A strong wind roared past, sending up sparks all over the sky and sweeping across more camps. When Subi Mojie ran away in panic, he even smelled the smell of barbecue in the wind. His ears were filled with the screams of soldiers and the neighing of war horses. Nearly 20,000 people The endless tents were swept by the fire. Subi Mojie on the horse felt his heart pounding. He opened his mouth and let out a howl similar to that of a wild beast, and his eyes were about to burst.
But she didn't dare to pause for a moment. The "armored cavalry" were chasing after her. Once she was caught up, there would be no luck. She could only gallop and run away.
How proud and high-spirited he was when he killed Subi Yangxiong, but now he is so discouraged and hopeless, as if he were mourning his heir. Once the foundation accumulated by Subi for decades is lost, it will be gradually cannibalized by the surrounding tribes until There is not even a chance of luck in destroying the country.
The only possible way for the tribe to survive is to completely surrender to Zamp and become a vassal of Zamp...
Behind him, the fire was soaring into the sky, and the strong wind was blowing heat waves, but Subi Mojie was trembling all over, feeling cold both physically and mentally.
……
After a hearty victory, the whole army cheered with excitement and high morale. They rode their horses on the messy battlefield, but Lun Qinling couldn't feel any excitement in his heart.
Armored cavalry, thunderbolts, rockets... just these weapons can make the Gar tribe's soldiers and horses completely reborn and soar in combat effectiveness. They are invincible and invincible in the face of the larger Tibetan army. Armed with these weapons How incomparable and invincible was the Tang Dynasty's army?
The Tang Dynasty was too powerful. From its economy, military, culture to weapons and equipment, it far surpassed any other country in the world. It had endless money, endless food, and tens of millions of citizens and millions of people. Young and strong...
It shines like a scorching sun on the world, unrivaled.
Although prosperity and decline are the natural principles of heaven and earth, when will the Tang Dynasty turn from prosperity to decline?
With the sound of horse hooves behind him, Boluzanren rode up to him, shouting in excitement: "This battle is so enjoyable! That rocket really works. It is not only a weapon for arson, but it is also particularly effective against war horses. It is extremely difficult to The extinguished flames made the war horses convulsed and uncontrollable. When the first round of rockets hit the ground and ignited the fire, the enemy's position was already in chaos. There was no resistance at all when charging into the formation. Just close your eyes and rush forward to kill!"
< br>
Lun Qinling nodded, showing no interest in talking. He only ordered: "Go down and clean up the battlefield quickly. Kill all the horses, leaving a group of leading soldiers to make dry food with horse meat. The rest of the group will rush to Zishan Pass immediately after finishing order." Don’t give the enemy a chance to breathe.”
"Yes!"
Realizing that his brother was not in a high mood, Bo Lunzan was confused. However, he had never been able to understand the thoughts of his eldest brother and second brother, so he didn't think too much. Anyway, he did whatever he was told without questioning it. He looked at the defeated soldiers around him. The prisoners asked again: "What to do with these prisoners? It is inevitable that the troops will be divided when they are escorted back, and whether they are detained in Liemohai or Naluyi, it will easily cause riots and endless troubles. It is better to just kill them directly!"
Although most of the defeated troops escaped with Subi Mojie, there were also three to four thousand enemy troops who were captured because of injuries or panic. Although these prisoners temporarily surrendered, they wanted to guard or escort them back to Liemohai and Naluyi. At least a thousand soldiers and horses need to be allocated, making the already small number of troops even more stretched.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zishan Pass will definitely be a fierce battle without any chance of trickery.
If these prisoners were released, most of them would be recruited by the Tibetan army again, adding to the enemy's power.
It would be better to kill them all in one fell swoop and finish them all off in one fell swoop.
Lun Qinling glared at Bo Lunzanren with a sullen face, and yelled: "Are you crazy? Our banner is to conquer Zanpu and return to Luoche, so the enemy is only Zanpu and not the whole of Tibet. The eldest brother is now The various tribes of Tubo are wandering around to gain support. If we kill prisoners, it will definitely trigger the anger of the entire Tubo. At that time, we will be the target of public criticism, brother. All our efforts will be in vain! Although we are now expelled by Zanpu and allied with the Tang Dynasty, you must not forget that we will always be Tubo people and will always be a part of Tubo! How cruel would it be to raise a butcher's knife against your own people? Does this idiot want the Gar tribe to never be tolerated by Tubo and become the enemy of the entire Tibet? ”
Bo Lunzan shrank his neck. The fearless general on the battlefield was as obedient as a sheep in front of his brother. He only dared to whisper in a low voice: "I'm just making a suggestion. If it doesn't work, then it won't work. Why scold others?"
The surrounding life was noisy and war horses neighed from time to time. Lun Qinling didn't hear clearly, so he frowned and asked: "What are you talking about? Louder!"
"Ah? No, I didn't say anything... I mean, don't you need to take a rest? There is only one pass at Zishan Pass. The mountain is high and the city is strong. There is no trick in attacking by force. The troops should be reorganized and fully prepared before a decisive battle."
< br>
Lun Qinling sighed: "How can we have time to reorganize? Although Subi Mojie was defeated, he returned to Zishan Pass with more than ten thousand defeated troops. While we were reorganizing, they were also reorganizing. When Subimojie's army was completely integrated into Zishan Pass, The defenders of Yamaguchi must be With the increased strength, it will be more difficult for us to attack with more casualties. Only if we advance quickly and launch a fierce attack, the defenders at Zishan Pass will not dare to leave Subi Mojie's defeated troops behind to avoid affecting the morale of the army. "
Bo Lunzanren doesn't care about this. The reason why fighting with his brother is the easiest is that he doesn't need to use his brain to think. He only needs to obey the orders, charge into the battle, kill the generals and capture the flag, and win. Anyway, even if he wants to kill his head, he is not as good as his brother's eyes. Why bother in vain when you can come up with a better idea in a flash?
"What about these prisoners?"
"Release them all. Subi Mojie escaped in a hurry and left a lot of luggage. Distribute some food to each prisoner. As for whether they can cross the mountains and return to their respective tribes, it is up to God."
Tubo has a vast territory, but most of it consists of rolling mountains or valleys filled with low, humid swamps. There are only a few roads leading to and from the plateau, so it is extremely difficult for these captives to avoid the battlefield and return to their respective tribes. If three or four of the ten people could go back alive, they would be considered lucky.
Moreover, the plateau has already entered early winter, and there is no telling when a heavy snow will fall and no one will be able to survive...
As for the reason why Qinling quickly advanced to attack Zishan Pass, it was because of the weather considerations. They had to advance closer to Luoshu City before it snowed to gain more bargaining chips and create a better negotiation environment for the elder brother. .
He wanted to go straight to Luoche City, but how could that be possible?
*****
Fuqi City.
The autumn wind surges and the lake waves ripple. Groups of cattle and sheep wander leisurely on the meadows, enjoying the last green grass of the year. The increasingly withered grass blades and gradually falling leaves make the cattle and sheep realize that the cold winter is over. Far, if you can't reserve more fat, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive this winter...
The city gates were wide open, soldiers were riding in and out, the sound of rapid horse hooves could be heard, and battle reports from the front were continuously sent into the city.
Lu Dongzan did not want to live in a house and insisted on putting his residence under a felt tent. As the weather got colder, his thin body huddled under a wool blanket, and his gray eyebrows frowned from time to time because of the information on the battle report. or expand. Opposite him, Pei Xingjian, who was wearing a futou and a brocade robe, put down the battle report in his hand while boiling tea, and said with emotion: "Everyone among the sons of Da Lun is a dragon or a phoenix. It is really enviable."
