Chapter 292 (1/2)
But Wei Ran looked back and found that there were two thousand cavalry after the dare to die camp, plus the bow and crossbow on the head of the city. Then within one arrow's distance, the dare to die camp doesn't have to worry about the attack on both wings.
Breaking through the distance of one arrow, the bow and crossbow at the head of the city can no longer provide support, and the enemy's military array still has a distance of two arrows. This distance will be very dangerous. We can only place our hope on the two thousand cavalry behind us, hoping that they can stop the flanking attack of Tubo cavalry.
However, according to the number of cavalry, Tubo cavalry has an obvious advantage, and the cavalry of Wuwei army will not be able to intercept for too long. Therefore, we must try our best to catch up with the defeated soldiers, force them not to turn back and fight, and then attack the enemy's infantry.
Only after shaking the enemy's step array will the troops behind us make a continuous assault and directly make a central breakthrough.
In fact, this difficulty is not small. After all, just from the city wall, the Tubo step array is divided into more than 10 staggered square arrays, each of which is at least 15 columns deep.
Although the battle ability of the Tubo people is not as good as that of the Tang army, it does not mean that they are easy to deal with. After all, the Tubo people are famous for their bravery all over the world.
Wei Ran wants to shake the enemy's large array of tens of thousands of people with an army of less than 800 people. Of course, Zhao Xuanqing's task is just to let him be the front arrow and shake the square array in front of him.
Wei Ran, who was at the grass-roots level, could not see through Zhao Xuanqing's plan for the moment. Even if he defeated the square array of 3500 people in front of him, he might not shake the whole Tubo army.
The Tubo soldiers who were still alive under the city, with their injured companions, retreated to their own army. According to the habit of attacking the city these days, the Tang army will not send people to pursue it. Their troops should not be enough.
But at this time, a disorderly formation suddenly poured out of the Tibetan cave, with a knife, a shield and a long gun, rushed after the defeated army's ass, and stabbed hundreds of people at one end.
The Tubo people who carried out the orderly retreat were hit hard. Like frightened rabbits, they left their seriously injured companions and rushed back.
They are defeated soldiers. They don't have to take into account the formation when they escape, so sa Yazi runs very fast. The 800 troops led by Wei Ran could not run freely, but they still chased behind.
Relying on his strong physical strength, Wei ran back and forth on the uneven front line and ordered the whole battalion to maintain a stable front line, so as to have the best battle formation when he finally attacked the enemy array.
Although it will be farther and farther away from some defeated troops, it has maintained its own physical strength, so as not to greatly lose its physical strength in a short time because of the emergency rush. Although these defeated soldiers run fast now, they will slow down later, and their physical strength may not recover so fast. Being caught up by the dare to die camp is a dead end.
Of course, Wei Ran also noticed that after the death camp array, the two thousand cavalry really began to move towards the two wings of the death camp. At the same time, after the cavalry, there was a large array built by ten thousand elite soldiers, who poured out of the pass.
The forward of the power array is composed of strangers and long spearmen, with long spearmen and crossbow men on both wings. The two wing array moves slightly forward. As long as it takes a quick sprint, it can move to the flank of the dare to die camp.
It seems that Zhao Xuanqing has considered the danger of the flank for the dare to die camp. If the cavalry can't resist the Tibetan cavalry, the long gunmen and crossbow men on both wings will become a barrier to stop the side attack of the Tibetan cavalry.
Seeing this arrangement, Wei Ran was a little relieved. At least it wasn't a doomed situation.
He led the team to continue trotting forward. During this period, Wei Ran bought some meat and soybean meal from time to time to improve the nutrition of soldiers and soldiers, so that their physical strength was better.
Therefore, the trot pursuit only scattered the formation of our side, but there was no sign that the soldiers' physical strength decreased.
Wei Ran saw that the Tubo step array was strict, the spear and halberd formed an array, and the bow and Archer was at the head. Such a big formation, even if his dare to die camp, which is less than 800 people, has a good formation, it will be smashed to pieces.
Therefore, he can only and must make good use of the enemy's defeated army, otherwise he will collapse in the face of the first wave of volley of thousands of Tubo archers.
At this time, the whole army had left the defensive area of Guancheng. In the direction of both wings, the Tibetan cavalry rushed over at the same time, shaking the mountain for a time.
