Chapter 1055 Chang'an Is in Sight

"Go home! Go home!" Countless soldiers of the Tang Dynasty shouted with tears in their eyes. The long-lost hometown is ahead. Let alone the Tubo army, even ghosts and gods, these soldiers of the Tang Dynasty They will also be beheaded with the horizontal knife in their hands. Absolutely no one can stop their desire to go home.

"Chang'an! Chang'an!" And Bahana, Shatuo Turks, Uyghurs, and those miscellaneous people called Chang'an. Chang'an is also their dream place. They can see the great Chang'an city in person and treat them. It is also an extremely coveted scene, for which they are also willing to fight bloody battles!

"Then what are you waiting for? Home is just ahead! Chang'an is just ahead! As long as we defeat these Tibetans, we can go home and see the great city of Chang'an!" Shen Long drew out his horizontal knife and pointed at Tubo army of people.

In the first battle of Dafeichuan, Xue Rengui had only 50,000 Tang troops under his command, while the Tubo people had 400,000 troops. Even so, Xue Rengui and his Tang troops had never been afraid. There are only 200,000 troops, so what are you afraid of? Just go straight up!

"Trebuchet! Catapult! Ready to launch!" Yun Erlang personally passed Shen Long's order to the rear. Behind the army stood trebuchets, but the catapults were not stone bombs, but one by one. A parcel wrapped in silk, and a Tang soldier standing next to the trebuchet holding a torch.

As soon as they heard Yun Erlang's order, they immediately ignited the fuze on the gunpowder bag with the torches in their hands, and the sparks from the fuze fired towards the gunpowder bag, and the catapult operator in front immediately fired the gunpowder bag.

Immediately, countless black spots flew towards the most densely populated place of the Tubo army, and then fell, making a huge explosion in the crowd. The Tubo army suddenly wailed, and the stumped limbs and broken arms flew in all directions.

This sudden blow made the people of Tubo terrified. They had never encountered such an attack. Many people subconsciously knelt on the ground and began to pray to the gods and Buddhas, while the generals who woke up shouted loudly, telling them to hurry up. Get up, pick up your weapon and fight with the soldiers and horses of Datang.

But people can be restrained, but horses will not listen to them. The Tibetan war horses were frightened by the huge explosion. They ran around crazily, throwing off the riders on their backs, and then countless horses stepped on them. The unlucky knights who fell from their horses were trampled into muddy flesh, and just as unlucky as them were the infantry who stood in the way of their galloping horses.

These infantrymen had no idea why their horses suddenly went crazy. There were even many infantrymen who were lying on the ground praying to the gods and Buddhas. It exploded like a watermelon, and blood splattered everywhere.

The explosion of the gunpowder package did not actually cause much damage to the Tubo people. Compared with the number of 200,000 troops, the number of people killed directly was nothing to mention, but the chaos after the explosion caused them several times that amount. killing.

More importantly, there was a huge chaos in the army formation of the Tubo people, and at this time there were still 50,000 Tang coalition troops staring at them.

Shen Long had already distributed flannel cloth to them to plug the ears of the war horses. In addition, these soldiers had seen huge explosions outside the city of Suzhou before, and their psychological endurance was much stronger than that of the Tubo people. After that, the formation of the Datang Allied Forces did not panic, and the soldiers cheered unceasingly.

"The whole army is attacking!" Shen Long rushed to the forefront again, leading the 12,000 Han navy straight to the Tubo army formation. After a while, Prince Pullhana, Kang Guangde, Gu Dulu and others also reacted, Also rushed towards the Tubo people.

The generals of the Tubo people are still trying their best to restore the order of the army, and want them to rearrange the army formation to fight against the Tang coalition forces, but now the frightened horses on the battlefield are running around, and the soldiers are either fleeing or praying on their knees. Get organized, and encounter the enemy's surprise attack in a chaotic situation, the consequences can be imagined.

The fight lasted from sunrise to sunset, and the Tubo people were killed and injured countless times. As a result, the Yellow River next to it turned red, and there were countless corpses of Tubo people floating on the water.

Chisong Dezan mobilized almost all the troops near Hexi and Longyou, and the 200,000 army was almost wiped out. They were either killed by the Tang army, or rushed into the Yellow River in a panic and drowned, or died under the trample of their own horse soldiers. , Many people became prisoners of Datang soldiers and horses.

However, the loss of the Tang coalition forces was minimal. This was not a frontal fight. Most of the time, they were just chasing the enemy with tails. In front of them were soldiers fleeing in panic. With the speed of the horse sprinting, just wipe the horizontal knife lightly on the back of the enemy's neck.

"Hahahaha! Since the first battle, Tubo has no more invincible soldiers in Hexi and Longyou. At least for ten years, there is no need to worry about the Tubo people threatening Hexi and Longyou!" Guo Xin laughed loudly.

A few days later, the red in the Yellow River gradually disappeared. The Tang coalition army defeated the Tubo army without much effort, but it took a lot of effort to clean the battlefield. Fortunately, there were a large number of Tubo captives who could work, otherwise they could rely on themselves I really can't figure it out.

This time, the servants who followed Datang made a lot of money. The weapons, armors and belongings carried by the Tubo people became their trophies. Many people even planned to take the Tubo captives they captured with them. Go back to be slaves; these days, each of them has a heartfelt smile on their faces, and they thank Shen Long endlessly after seeing Shen Long.

After a good rest, the army continued to march eastward. When they reached Weizhou, Shen Long and the others suddenly discovered that Weizhou had long been an empty city. Either the defenders here were also buried outside Lanzhou City, or they got news I was so scared that I ran away quickly. Think about it, the two hundred thousand troops are kneeling, what use are they?

In this way, Guo Xin and Shen Long brought this army into the Tang territory smoothly, and the Tang court, who had already heard the news, immediately sent Guo Yan to Fengxiang Mansion to welcome them.

The two cousins ​​who hadn't seen each other for a long time reunited. Both Guo Yan and Guo Xin burst into tears. They came with Guo Yan, and there were many relatives of the guards and soldiers. This time the welcome turned out to be a day of family reunion. .

Guo Ai brought them a commendation from the imperial court. Today's Tang Dynasty really needs such an inspiring victory; after reading the imperial edict, the army continued to move forward.

After several days, Chang'an City finally appeared in front of them.
