Chapter 340 (1/2)

After cutting off the rope of the hot-air balloon, Wei Ran also stepped on the war horse.

With Zhao Hui's order, he, as a cavalry vanguard, first took the lead in the assault, swept by thousands of horses and galloped away!

At this time, the Tubo army in the castle could not hurt the three huge ghost faces in the sky. Both soldiers and generals were terrified because of superstition and ignorance.

They couldn't figure out what the flying things were. They thought the Tang army had the help of gods and Buddhas. How could they win the war?

If you only fight with the people of Tang Dynasty, you are not afraid, but if you fight with God and Buddha, is it human power that can defeat you.

Therefore, even if a few officers still have some rationality, they can't persuade their subordinates to remain calm at this time.

At this time, the soldiers saw that the Tang army suddenly took the opportunity to attack the city, and were even more at a loss. They forgot all the prepared equipment for guarding the city. Some people run around like headless flies, and some instinctively shoot scattered arrows.

In a panic, he didn't predict the range of the bow and arrow, and all failed.

The Tubo cavalry outside the castle were also overwhelmed, and they were even worse than the Tubo army in the castle. There are walls in the castle that they can rely on. All they can rely on is the four legs of the war horse.

So when I saw the cavalry of the Tang army racing forward, I was immediately scared to disperse birds and animals.

Wei Ran led the army to bypass the flank of a fortress and ordered the whole army to suppress the city by riding and shooting, which hit the morale of the enemy. Then he received the bow and arrow, took out the spear and saber, chased the defeated enemy cavalry and blocked the rear support route of the castle.

The vanguard cavalry sent by the Wuwei army acted like Wei Ran. Moreover, according to their earlier planned siege plan, they first expel the enemy cavalry with cavalry, and then block the support route. Then let our infantry gather to attack the city.

At present, the Wuwei army has left behind all the other heavy equipment, such as stone catapults, siege bed crossbows and so on, in addition to the slightly light siege equipment such as cloud ladders and arrow towers.

But the performance of the Tubo army was even worse. They almost became headless flies. Even the officers fell into panic and were completely disorganized.

Therefore, even though the siege equipment of Wuwei army is simple, it is enough to use.

As the army marched forward, the archers came forward in an evacuation formation and threw arrows from the ground to suppress the city. Then the arrow tower is pushed into the range. The archers on the arrow tower can continue to suppress the city head more accurately and efficiently by shooting flat.

After that, the ladder was combined with the cart to cover the melee infantry to quickly approach the city wall, and then stepped on the ladder to pillow the city. Wielding shield knives and axes, the first warriors formed a scattered array and rushed into the unorganized and demoralized Tubo army at the head of the city like a tiger into a sheep.

The Tubo army at the head of the city was soon suppressed and defeated, and then controlled the fortress gate, opened it, and the army entered it. The remaining Tubo troops in the castle had no intention of fighting any more and fled from the city gate behind them.

Just met the cavalry cruising outside, charged and fought, and escaped the Tubo army from the castle. Only a few elite with horses were able to escape. The infantry who served as servants were wiped out.

The battle to win the two fortresses lasted less than an hour. From beginning to end, the Tubo army did not send reinforcements. It can be seen that even the Tubo army in the rear was deterred by three hot-air balloons.

However, when they saw the fall of the two fortresses in front of them, and thought of the massacre committed in the territory of the Tang people, they naturally knew that the internal defenders could not hope to survive, so they could not help but feel sad. On the contrary, their soldiers at the bottom surged up a strong desire for survival and were more willing to obey the command of the commander, so as to maintain the stability of the defense line.
