Chapter 293

In an instant, four or five long guns were stabbed into his body, and another long halberd cut off his head. But it had no effect on Wei Ran. He continued to rush against the charge, making it too late for the Tubo army to pull out its long gun and push the body in front of them.

Two hundred veterans dressed in iron armor and charging with Wei Ran followed the example and plunged into the array against the body of the defeated army.

Tubo's spear and halberd were inserted into the body of their own soldiers who were used as meat shields. Before they could be pulled out, they were rushed in by the vigorous dare to die camp.

Wei Ran took the lead, waved the Xuanhua axe horizontally to the left and right, and immediately knocked down a man on the ground.

The Tubo soldiers nearby can only throw away their spears and pull out their short soldiers to fight, but they are turned over by the veterans of the dare to die camp who plunge in at the same time. Their short soldiers can't even get a hair.

The Tubo formation in front of him immediately showed signs of instability, and the soldiers in the back immediately rushed forward under the threat of the supervision team.

The whole battlefield looked down from a high altitude. The large array of 30000 Tibetan troops and horses was recessed in the direction of Wei Ran's assault, and the dare to die camp led by Wei Ran was completely embedded like a wedge.

However, their forces are small after all. If there is no backup to keep up, Wei Ran will be completely surrounded by the enemy array supported by the two wings and cut off the rear road.

However, according to the initial mission, Wei Ran's dare to die camp has played a role in shaking the enemy's array, so that they have to send someone from the flank to support it.

Zhao Xuanqing and others took this opportunity. The bowmen on the back wings of the dare to die camp took the lead and shot down the Tubo infantry who wanted to cut off the back of the dare to die camp.

Then the long gunmen with Zhangba long guns changed direction and put their guns on both wings to resist the side attack of Tubo cavalry.

Finally, the elite sword and shield hand behind the dare to die camp roared at the same time, rushed into the enemy array after the dare to die camp, buried in the battle and waved the sword!

Although Dafang array has both attack and defense and has a stable formation, its disadvantages are also obvious, that is, it is easy to break a little and lead to the whole front line breaking.

Tubo people didn't expect that a new force came to Fenglin pass, and they didn't expect that the garrison dared to counter attack by threatening to leave the pass with their own cavalry.

For a moment, the square array led by Wei Ran collapsed on the spot. The defeated army mixed with the defeated army before, and then avalanched away.

The cavalry charged on both wings of the Tubo army had rushed through the cavalry of the Wuwei army and rushed to the soldiers of the Wuwei army behind Wei Ran, but was blocked by the long spearmen with seven columns in depth on both wings of the Wuwei army.

In fact, the formation of these long spearmen was not stable. After all, the soldiers were very fast. At first, they patronized to move to the reserved combat position, and the formation was naturally scattered.

However, all Tubo are light cavalry, and their ability to rush into the array is weak. Even in the face of incomplete gun array, they are overturned and suffered heavy losses.

Of course, the gunmen of the Wuwei army also had a hard time. Many of them were trampled to death and broke their tendons, and their morale fell to the freezing point in an instant.

Had it not been for the timely arrival of the supervisory team sent by Zhao Xuanqing, these gunmen would have left their weapons and ran away crying for their parents.

The supervising team not only stabilized the formation by killing the escaped soldiers through bloody supervision, but also attacked against the enemy and bravely killed the cavalry who lost speed, helping to reorganize the formation.

The attack of Tubo two winged cavalry was successfully stopped. At this time, if Zhao Xuanqing's cavalry came to help, they could gain great advantages in the front battlefield.

However, the two thousand elite riders rode along the formation of the Tubo army, rode, shot and harassed them, and ran to their rear.

Seeing this, the Tubo general immediately tangled up, whether to send his own light cavalry to pursue, or to find a way to solve the brave Tang army infantry in front of him?

On the wall, Zhao Xuanqing saw that the Tibetan light cavalry did not pursue immediately, but chose to run to one side to reorganize the army after losing the attack on the Spearman front.

Then he slapped on the head of the city and said excitedly, "yes, the Tubo general opposite couldn't make up his mind. It seems that he still wants to eat our infantry first and then go back to deal with the cavalry. Hum, let him hit this nail! Our cavalry will burn down their shipyards before dusk today! "

The Tubo general was indeed as unwilling as Zhao Xuanqing said. He ordered the cavalry to reorganize the army, and then made a detour to charge behind the soldiers who went out of the city. There was an emptiness and there was no gun array.

However, when the cavalry moved to the rear, they found that thousands of bow and crossbow men came out of Fenglin pass. Standing half an arrow range from the city wall, they could just shoot these Tibetan Qingqi who wanted to rush back.

Tubo cavalry will want to break down this bow and crossbow army. As a result, they rush out of a section of the road and face thousands of bow and crossbow men on the ground at the same time. In addition, there is a dense arrow rain on Guancheng.

Misfortunes never come singly. When they were about to rush in front of them, the forward cavalry suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground.

It turned out that when the infantry came out, they had quietly scattered iron thistles on the ground. Of course, this will break the way back, but it also shows that Zhao Xuanqing's design is very precise. He has long guessed that Tubo Qingqi has this skill,

The Tibetan light cavalry, who had been plotted against, suffered heavy losses, and their morale fell sharply. They did not dare to come near or stop in place. They retreated back one after another. They were extremely embarrassed.

However, the Tubo army is not the only one. When the Tubo rode around, their tens of thousands of steps also moved. Now the middle has been broken for a while, and even the second formation is unstable.

Wei Ran is now trapped in the enemy's array. He can't detect anything except the enemy in front of him and the friendly forces in the rear.

He continued to lead the army to fight and defeat the second array, but a new force came from the enemy to stop Wei Ran's attack. Of course, the Tubo people can't beat back the dare to die camp that has established a firm foothold. After all, the sword and shield hands of Wuwei army in the rear have also arranged the formation and are advancing slowly, which gives them great pressure.

Wei Ran looked back at many of his men. They fought fiercely. Their physical exertion was quite large. They had three drums and failed. The strong crossbow was at the end. It was difficult to move forward.

At this stage, since we have overfulfilled the task, in order to preserve our strength, we will slow down the pace of attack, mix in the battle array composed of knife and shield hands and follow the movement.

At the same time, secretly convey orders to make people pay attention to cutting off the enemy's head in order to make atonement and ask for merit. Wei Ran considered this as early as when he was training and discussed with the soldiers how to implement it.

The Wuwei army does not record merit by the head, so the new soldiers do not need the head to invite merit, while the soldiers of the death camp with tattoos need the head to atone for their sins.

Therefore, most of these tattooed soldiers were asked to cut their heads, and they specially selected those honest and honest people to do this work in advance.

That is, the distribution at the head level depends on who has performed well in the battle array, and priority is given to distribution, so as to prevent some people from sneaking and fishing in troubled waters. As for who did well? There are not many people in the dare to die camp. People can look at each other. Naturally, there is a public opinion.

The two formations of the Tubo army have been broken, but the rear forces are still strong and the support is sufficient. In addition, the forces on both wings are not damaged, and a pincer attack is gradually forming. The Wuwei army will not take much advantage if it continues to pursue and kill.

At this time, there was a golden sound at the head of the city, and the order to retreat had been issued.

Of course, it's not that the whole army will retreat without a brain at the sound of Mingjin, which will kill all the soldiers.

Instead, the rear array stopped and set up a cordon, the front array stopped moving, and the queue covered the retreat alternately from front to back.

At this time, the rear formation of the Tubo army was still dealing with the problem of the defeated army attacking the formation, and the troops intercepted just now were also attacked by the dare to die camp and the sword shield, so they were not afraid to pursue.

Taking advantage of this gap, Wei Ran's front array has retreated to the rear array. The original rear array has become the front array, forming an arc to guard against the enemy's attack from three sides.

The two wings of the Tubo army were still a little unconvinced. Seeing the arc array in front of them, they wanted to retreat and rushed up like a mad dog. As a result, they were met by the armed forces waiting for them and collapsed back.

After that, Wei Ran's Legion continued to line up in situ to guard, let the troops who had just covered in front slowly return to the array, and then covered it three times alternately, and entered the wall defense system of Fenglin pass. At this time, the whole army gradually returned to the city.
