This kind of outpost should only have one or two hundred Tang troops, but in front of him, with flying flags and heroic helmets all over the mountain, this was no small group of Tang troops.
The cold light of the knife flashed through, leaving him no time to think.
The body fell heavily, and the success of the first ascent no longer had anything to do with him. The remaining slaves stepped on his fallen body and continued to ascend. Their endings were only the difference between death early and death later.
The number of soldiers of the Tang army at the top of the city began to increase. They held up shields and spears, and stabbed to death the slaves who boarded the city.
After clearing the city head, the army stepped on the corpses of Tibetan slaves with neat steps and pressed them under the guard tower.
The military formation of the Tang Dynasty is unparalleled in the world
The slave soldiers were defeated in one blow
The slaves were defeated. The Tang army's front troops formed a row of shield walls fifty meters in front of the outpost city. The rear troops threw the slave corpses under the wall into the cliff.
When Tashi Pianba saw that his slave soldiers were defeated, he waved to his deputy and said, "Behead those slaves who came back after being defeated."
"Master, are these all your private property? What if you kill them all?"
"Lord Tunmi Sambuza will compensate for these losses."
Tashi Bianba looked at the shield wall of the Tang Dynasty on horseback and frowned: "These Tang soldiers don't know whether they live or die."
"Would you like to send some warriors to try?"
Tashi Pianba frowned and thought for a moment: "No need, continue to let the slaves go. There are only a few people in this small outpost. I don't believe that I can't kill them all."
Under the command of Tashi Pianba, the defeated slaves were beheaded, and a new batch of thousands of people rushed forward with sticks, knives and forks.
The Tang Dynasty conquered territory with swords and spears, and valued martial arts. No other small country dared to confront the Tang Dynasty with infantry in the wild.
Just a wave of slaves without armor and weapons.
When the slaves charge, they will first be hit by a hail of arrows.
Even if he rushed to the front of the military formation, he was pierced by a spear next, blood spattered, and the slave fell again.
The city head was less than 50 meters away from the shield wall and was completely within the range of the crossbowmen. The rain of arrows on the city head provided constant support to the people in front.
In just half an hour of fighting, most of this wave of slave soldiers died.
The supervising team that Tashi Bianba arranged behind the slaves was a little embarrassed. So many slaves had been killed and injured in just a short time, and the Tang army was indeed difficult to deal with.
The corpses under the wall were cleared. The injured soldiers who were sniping at the enemy on the shield wall in front were brought back first, and the rear continued to fill in. Everything was in order.
Tashi Bianba watched the whole one-sided battle. He was a little embarrassed. The Tang army was too difficult to fight. Even in a field battle with other tribes with a thousand-man effort like Tubo, the death was not that ugly. You can kill one or two hundred people on the other side.
No, I can't be so reckless, I have no clue.
Tashi Pemba waved his hand to summon his deputy: "Dorji, defend in place, I will think about how to fight."
"Yes, Master"
Tashi Bianba stopped charging. The guard tower door of the Tang army was opened, and rows of wooden stakes and horses were carried out, crossing the front of the military formation to prevent the Tibetan cavalry from attacking.
Tashi Bianba was thinking, but he never thought that the troops blocking the road here were not the troops that a post should have.
There were not only one or two hundred people inside the sentry tower, and the leader was not the original captain, but Li Mingda, who had been busy "preparing for war" in Jiannan for a long time, personally led the troops to defend against the enemy Li Daliang.
Li Daliang was a general who came out of the chaotic wars in the late Sui Dynasty. He knew what was needed to win the war. He sent a large number of spies to the Tubo territory as early as when he received the order.
When 10,000 people from Tubo came out, the spies directly sent the information over. After Li Daliang got the news, he could dispatch troops and generals. Along the way, sentries continued to send the Tibetan people's movement route to Li Daliang. .
Various intelligence shows that the opponent's target is the Qingshi Post.
A large army had been assembled and rushed to Qingshi Post immediately. For safety reasons, Li Daliang also sent a certain amount of reinforcements to other posts.
everything is ready
Just waiting for Tashi Pianba to bring someone to deliver the head.
After waiting for a long time, Tashi Bianba came over. Since the Tang army was well prepared and Li Daliang personally led the army, their morale was high and they had enough weapons and troops.
Watching Tashi Pianba turn off the engine, Li Daliang was not willing to wait, so he called his generals: "Everyone, what do you think?"
"My subordinates think that we can continue to defend and consume more of the Tubo soldiers, and then use the cavalry to defeat the infantry and then cover them up."
"My subordinates also agree. We will stay with this group of people for one more day, and then the brothers' swords will be hot, and then we can kill them again."
"My subordinates also agree."
"Subordinates have different opinions"
Li Daliang looked at the dissenting captain and asked, "What do you think?"
"Sir General, the Tubo people's attack this time were all slaves with incomplete armor and no weapons. We still don't know what the real Tibetan soldiers are like. Just like today, the slaves rushed to the wall at that moment."
"The general decisively gave the order to cover up and kill us, so that our news was not leaked. If the other party uses Tibetan soldiers to attack, but they rush to the wall of the sentry tower and peek at our true strength, the surprise effect will not be achieved."
Li Daliang nodded, this statement was in his heart, and motioned for the other party to continue. The little captain at the exit continued to Li Daliang: "General, my subordinates believe that guarding against thieves for a thousand days will eventually lead to failure. Plus, I Didn’t Fang already ask Lieutenant Yan to lead a thousand-man team out to ambush him? It’s better to give him a fatal blow before he gets suspicious."
Li Daliang swept his beard and said: "Well, I think so too, General. Come here."
"The subordinates are here"
"Sent someone to summon Lieutenant Yan, and after half an hour, he used the sound of three drums as a signal to cover up the Tibetan army."
"yes"
"Everyone, if we return with a great victory this time, I, Li Daliang, will serve you a drink to celebrate your victory. The Tang Dynasty will be victorious."
"The Tang Dynasty is victorious"
Li Daliang led a group of captains and generals out of the camp. The captains and generals brought their own soldiers to the front of their troops and horses, giving the soldiers some preparation time to drink water, feed their horses, rest and prepare for battle.
In order to avoid blocking the cavalry charge, Li Daliang ordered the soldiers in front to mount their horses and move forward to the mouth of the valley.
When Tashi Pianba heard his subordinates coming down to report the actions of the Tang army, he heard the sound of military drums coming from inside the guard tower.
"Hey, these Tang soldiers still want to rush into the battle. They think I, Tashi Pianba, are soft mud. Duoji and the warriors will follow me to have a look."
"Yes, Master"
Tashi Pianba brought his Tibetan soldiers to the entrance of the valley and looked at the Tang army forming a shield wall at the entrance of the valley.
"The Tang army on the opposite side, if you surrender, I, Mr. Tashi Pianba, can save you from death."
to the sound of drums
The door of the sentry tower is wide open
Li Daliang led the cavalry and swarmed out
Three toms end
The sound of horse hoofbeats came from the valley. Tashi Bianba watched as the Tang Army's shield wall at the entrance of the valley cracked. A golden light flashed out, and deafening shouts of killing came from the valley.
