Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Page 984

Today, Songtsen Gampo used iron and blood to temporarily unite the various ministries of Tubo. Perhaps he succumbed to Songtsan Gampo's martial arts, or his power. In short, the people who are most dissatisfied with Songtsen Gampo are precisely the leaders of the Tubo tribes whose interests have been violated.

Just half a month later, Naqu City ushered in a group of special guests.Representatives of Amdo, Zado and Qudo tribes.

In fact, there are more tribes in Tubo than Chen Ying imagined.

In just half a month, more than 160 representatives of the Tubo tribes arrived in Nagqu, among which there are more tribes that have not yet arrived due to the distance.

After these representatives came to Nagqu City, Chen Ying asked them to prepare a large amount of delicacies, as well as smooth silk, tea, exquisite porcelain, and mellow liquor.

Chen Ying didn't go around too much with these Tubo tribe leaders or representatives, and directly asked the tongues to tell the representatives of each tribe that now Datang has decided to teach this disrespectful and ignorant Songtsan Gambo, if you are willing to communicate with Datang Form an alliance, you will enjoy your original tribal privileges, surrender to the Tang Dynasty, pay tithes to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty will open the trade of salt, silk, tea, and grain from the allied tribes.

If he was willing to become Songtsen Gampo's slave and send the young and strong of the clan to die in the hands of Songtsen Gampo, Chen Ying said that he would have nothing to say.

Ma Zhou thought that Chen Ying would have a bad nose, but to his surprise, almost all the tribes formed an alliance against Songtsen Gampo.

Chen Yinghui admitted that he started trade with various ministries of Tubo, and traded with various ministries of Tubo for the salt, cloth, and grain that were scarce in Tubo ministries.

At the same time as the transaction, an anti-Songtsen Gampo army composed of young men from various ministries, armed by Chen Ying, began to march towards Songbangbao (that is, Lhasa).

Chapter 97 Tang Qi is invincible

Kang Yan lives outside the city, and it is rare to meet a sunny day.The Tubo people basked in the sun lazily while herding sheep.

Early in the morning, Songtsan Ganbei climbed up the hill, looking at the Tang army camp in the northwest.

Songtsan Gampo frowned, looked at Ru Daren beside him and said, "Is Chen Ying still not moving?"

Ru Daren sighed and said, "Chen Ying's son is a fox, if there is any trouble, he will retreat into their den!"

Although Ru Daren despises Chen Ying's "cowardly" behavior, it is undeniable that the camp that Chen Ying set up is a hard nut to crack.

A camp is not a city, but it does not mean that Chen Ying's camp is easy to attack.

It was not difficult to deal with such a camp wall that was originally made of tree stumps as thick as bowls and buried in the soil three feet deep.However, along the edge of the lowlands, the Tang army camp built wooden walls, and stabbed them with sharpened spears, forming a hedgehog shape. Outside the wooden walls, there were deer antlers all over.

Inside the wooden wall, there is an earthen wall!This is an earth wall rammed with sand and gravel. The boiled sand is mixed with gravel to build it. It is a unique wall-building technique of the Han people. It was later introduced to Bohai, Goguryeo and other places.Both Khitan and Jin used this technology to build a Great Wall against Mobei.

The generals of the Tang army in Anxi no longer have a single type of arms. Any type of arms requires more than three types of equipment. Tang crossbows and horizontal knives are indispensable. And a horizontal knife.

Although Chen Ying attacked in a hurry at the beginning, he had a limited number of arrows, a mere 20 men and horses, no more than [-] crossbow arrows at most, an average of [-] arrows per person, but he carried a lot of refining bombs.

Ru Daren once tentatively launched an attack on Chen Ying's camp. A vanguard of 3000 men went up, and in just a quarter of an hour, more than 3000 people were killed.If it hadn't been withdrawn quickly, I am afraid that [-] people would all be there.

Ru Daren would rather use his head to attack Kang Yanju City than to attack Chen Ying's camp.After all, in Chen Ying's big camp, the neighing of war horses resounded across the sky. Obviously, there were countless war horses in Litong. Once Chen Ying, like Liu Tong, linked the war horses with iron chains and formed a chain of horses to attack the Tibetan army, Ru Da Ren probably doesn't even have a place to cry.

Songtsan Gampo looked at the lifeless city of Kangyanju, and said coldly: "If Chen Ying does not come out of the tortoise shell, it proves that we are not putting enough pressure on Kangyanju city. Order the Hongying army to break the city!"

The Red Tassel Army is Songtsan Gampo's proud work, the Tubo people have always been unrestrained, and the discipline on the battlefield is even worse.If you win, you will swarm up, and if you lose, you will collapse thousands of miles.

In order to strictly enforce the discipline of the Tubo army, Songtsan Gampo specially asked people to gather the fiery red fox tail. When soldiers retreated without a collar, they would wear this fiery fox tail. Unfortunately, when this policy was first implemented, There are too many defeated soldiers in Tubo, even counting the gray and black foxes in the snow field, they can't get enough fox tails.

Later, Songtsan Gampo ordered red chicken feathers to be tied up with cowhide ropes and tied behind the retreating soldiers' heads.Such an army became the Red Tassel Army, and their salary was halved, and they were despised by the people.

Songtsan Gampo called on the Tubo soldiers to face shame. As time passed, the Tubo people regarded the red tassels as a lifelong shame, and they could only take off the red tassels with the blood and heads of the enemy.

In fact, the so-called Hongying Army is similar to the jumping soldiers of the Tang Army. The jumping soldiers of the Tang Army are mainly criminals, merchants, and sons-in-law. In order to enjoy the treatment of one rank of military merit, you have to go down two ranks or above for military merit.

It can be said that this is an army of dead soldiers.

Following this, Songtsan Gampo's order was issued.The officers and men of the Hongying Army of the Tubo Army began to discharge their offensive troops and slowly marched towards Kangyanju City.

The officers and men of the Tubo Hongying Army advanced faster and faster, as if rushing to Kangyanju City like a tsunami.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Someone yelled at Su Pinazhen.

Subinazhen looked back and found that it was Danmuji.This is a well-known warrior from the Subi tribe. He is over nine feet tall. He has already killed people into blood men and horses into blood horses.But even this kind of fierce general still showed a hint of despair on his face when he saw the soldiers of the Tubo Hongying Army rushing over.

Su Pinazhen smiled wryly and said, "What else can I do? Let's fight to the death!"

Dan Muji opened his mouth, but the words came to his lips but did not come out.

Su Pinazhen smiled even more bitterly, and she said slowly: "Don't think about surrendering, the Tang people treat us well, we can't be so heartless... Besides, do you think the Tibetans will let us go? No, they will Kill us all!"

"boom!……"

A loud explosion interrupted Subinazhen's words. She looked away and saw an orange-red fireball rising from the middle of the Tubo Red-tasseled Army. Dozens of cavalrymen and horses sprayed blood all over their bodies, and fell down screaming. go down.Not long after, these dozens of riders turned into flame knights, screaming, struggling, and begging for mercy...

I saw Xiang Xun on the city wall cutting off a stick of cable with an axe, and the throwing arm of the trebuchet threw a wooden barrel weighing more than 200 catties more than [-] steps away, killing dozens of Tubo Hongying Army soldiers. shrouded in flames.

The trebuchet is equipped with incendiary bombs, which are extremely powerful.

The soldiers of the Tubo Hongying Army, who were attacking intensively, were burned to the ground amidst the sound of explosions one after another.

Songtsan Gampo's face changed drastically, and he roared angrily, "Damn Tanggou, he only bullies people with firearms!"

Regardless of whether the cat is black or white, anyway, the soldiers of the Beiwei army used these incendiary bombs to delay the attack of the Tubo people.

Xun Xiang looked at the charred Tubo soldiers, licked his lips excitedly, and said, "This thing is really useful, but it's a pity that there are only a few of them. There are only three or four pieces each, and they can be thrown away in a few strokes... If I had known earlier, I would have brought more!"

Liu Tong said dumbfoundedly: "Who would have thought that the Tubo people would actually come up with the idea of ​​encircling the spot to send aid. If they knew... I wouldn't bring this thing with me, I would bring Thunderbolt!"

Chen Ying had already produced black powder in the seventh year of Wude.Except for Chen Ying's use of one during the Xuanwumen Incident, this unsafe black powder was never actually used on the battlefield.

As a person of later generations, Chen Ying is very clear.The power of black powder is too weak. Even in the Ming Dynasty, matchlock guns were equipped on a large scale. In fact, muskets did not have an advantage over bows and crossbows.

Before Chen Ying's God of War failed, Chen Ying did not intend to release Pandora's devil.

Su Pinazhen was startled, woke up from the ecstasy, and said in her heart: "Yes, although the lethality is huge, but the number is limited after all, if the throwing is over, the enemy troops will come from all directions, and they will be crushed. Thinking of this, she pointed at the Tubo army with a saber and shouted: "Kaicheng, charge me! "

Su Pinazhen stuffed the youngest son behind her back into Xunxiang's arms, raised her knife, and let out a terrifying roar from her chest: "Avenger, avenge!"

As she said, like a god of war, she took the lead and rushed towards the Tubo formation, raising her sword to sweep across, and amidst the roaring explosion, she raised her sword and rushed her horse, and was blown upside down Tubo watched in horror as these crazy guys leaped out of the thick smoke. In the next second, their heads were detached from their necks, and they flew out in a whirl...

Subi Nazhen led the remnants of Subi's tribe to charge like a broken bamboo, beating the Tubo army powerless.

Songtsan Gampo threw his whip on the ground angrily. He knew that the attempt to encircle and annihilate Kangjuyan City was shattered.

At the same time that Songtsen Gampo ordered to withdraw his troops angrily, Chen Ying led the anti-Songtsen Gampo coalition force he hastily organized, with about [-] troops, to attack Songbangbao in mighty force.

In fact, the anti-Songtsen Gampo alliance formed by Chen Ying had more than [-] troops at its peak, but it ran non-stop along the way, and lost half of its troops.

Looking at the mob who were out of breath, Chen Ying smiled wryly.

Seeing Songbang Fort in the distance, the tribal leaders of the anti-Songtsen Gampo Alliance who followed Chen Ying suddenly became uneasy.

An Duo Naji, the leader of Anduobu, looked timidly at Chen Ying and said, "General Chen, are we going to wait for the people behind?"
