Looking at the Tubo people who were advancing one after another without fear of life and death, Luo Zhang frowned slightly and immediately ordered the use of artillery!
With loud noises, cannonballs fired from the cannon behind the closed Yumen.
"Boom boom boom!"
A loud bang exploded among the Tubo people, immediately knocking the Tubo people who were rushing forward to their knees!
Artillery is much more powerful than wooden lumps. The two are not the same!
Huge potholes appeared outside the pass. Next to the potholes were dead bodies, as well as Tubo people who were not killed but were seriously injured and wailing incessantly!
Yesterday's scene reappeared, as if pouring cold water on the hot-blooded Tibetan people, making them sober in an instant!
Memories that many people had forgotten about also surfaced.
Before these Tibetans could recover, the second round of artillery fired again, killing more Tibetans again.
Behind the Tibetan army, Meng Tu, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, heard the deafening sound of cannons and almost fell off his horse!
"What is this? What on earth is this?" Meng Tu asked the general on the side in surprise.
These generals shook their heads when they heard Meng Tu's inquiry.
Although they participated in the battle yesterday, they were supervising the battle from the rear like Meng Tu. How could they know what it was!
I just know that after this loud noise, the army was defeated, and the soldiers retreated back like headless flies!
They didn't know what happened, so they also retreated. Asking them now would be in vain.
After the third round of artillery bombardment, before the Tubo army even approached Yumen Pass, many people retreated. Although they really wanted those ten cows and fifty sheep, it didn't mean they were willing to risk their lives!
This is God's punishment. Didn't you hear the loud noise?
Fighting against the gods will bring disaster. Those who rush to the front will be punished by the gods!
The army retreated again, faster than when they came!
Even though the Tibetans had an army of 200,000, they were just a bunch of rabble to be honest. They fought fiercer and more powerfully than anyone else in the Shunfeng War, and they didn't even risk their lives!
But once they encounter adversity and fight, these Tubo people collapse faster than anyone else. Once hundreds or even thousands of people collapse and flee, more people will flee.
Yesterday's battle was a replica of today's. No matter how many generals tried to stop it, it would be useless. Those who should escape should still escape!
Seeing this situation, Meng Tu was a little dumbfounded. He finally knew how Lu Dongzan was defeated.
But he knows it’s useless, he’s going to lose too!
It is completely impossible to organize an attack now. Once the army is disorganized and morale is low, it will not listen to you at all!
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops and asks the rear army to stop them. Anyone who dares to escape will be killed without mercy!" Meng Tu ordered.
A team of thirty thousand soldiers and horses rushed forward. This was Montu's reserve team and all his cavalry.
It is not easy for cavalry to participate in siege.
Moreover, judging from being chased by Tang Army cavalry yesterday, Mengtu knew that Tang Army had cavalry. He organized his own cavalry team to deal with Tang Army cavalry. As long as Tang Army cavalry was dispatched, he would also send cavalry to fight with them.
It's just that this cavalry was not used on the Tang army, but was used on his own people first.
The cavalry rushed forward, holding long braids in their hands to beat the Tibetans who were trying to escape!
Can become a cavalryman. Most of them are real people of Tubo, and their status is higher than these escaped slaves. They will not be merciful to slaves.
But before they could stop all the fleeing Tubo slaves.
The Jade Gate was closed, and Luo Zhang had already given the order for the cavalry to pursue.
The city gate opened, and a group of heavily armed cavalry charged away, pursuing the fleeing Tubo army.
Looking at the chasing cavalry team, Luo Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. After today's battle, I believe the Tubo people have been planning to organize troops to attack Yumen Pass for some time.
Unfortunately, there are too few troops and horses in hand. If the reinforcements can arrive as soon as possible, today's battle can even annihilate all the fleeing Tubo people, and even fight all the way to Tibet and wipe out the Tibetans.
However, by being able to guard Yumen Pass, Luo Zhang has completed his mission. He only needs to wait for his uncle Qin Qiong to arrive!
