Chapter 293 (1/2)
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.
