Chapter 998: Imprisoned

Two consecutive scout teams did not return, and the Tubo team noticed it.

They sent a hundred cavalrymen for the third group, and they didn't believe that none of the hundred people would return.

Not long after, the hundred cavalrymen returned, not one less.

With them came the smoke. The air pressure was low today, and although the stars were blinking, the air humidity was high.

Some smoke flew close to the grass and fell to the ground.

The condition of the hundred people was not very good, and their eyes were red, including the eyes of the horses.

"Report! No enemy troops were seen, only smoke, coming with the wind." The team leader reported with tears.

It was too uncomfortable, and the smoke made them unable to breathe, and the horses couldn't stand it at all.

In fact, he didn't need to say it, the smoke was floating over, and everyone smelled it.

"Wet your clothes with water to cover your face." The Tubo generals had experience, and generals had experience. Smoke attacks could only be dealt with in this way.

At the same time, Zhang Xiaosong ordered his subordinates to cover their faces with several layers of wet towels and rush forward with bundles of grass on their backs.

Rush out a few miles, put down the grass, light it, and rush back again.

The people on the side can go around, but the people in the middle can only run under the smoke, which is very uncomfortable.

The soldiers ran over and drank water quickly. Some people used water bags to wash their faces.

There was more smoke, and the range was larger.

The people who ran back to set off the smoke couldn't stand it for a while, let alone the Tibetans who were forming a battle array over there.

"Go to the side." A Tibetan thousand households named Cuo Kao Tao Kai gave an order.

Another thousand households named Sonam Tseten coughed and stopped him: "No, the enemy is probably waiting next to them. Once they move, the chariot formation will disperse."

He was thinking about the chariot formation. Should he go to the side, horizontally or vertically?

Going horizontally, the speed of leaving the smoke range is slow, and it is easy for the front to encounter the enemy's 90-degree charge just after leaving the smoke range.

Going vertically, the enemy may still charge at a 90-degree angle.

Going together, the enemy has cavalry and can shoot arrows around.

Sonam Tseten judged others by himself. If he were in his place, he would do the same.

Cuokao Taokai was anxious: "What should we do?"

"Retreat, there is a river on the way here, retreat back, hide from the smoke, and wait for the sun to rise, and build a camp along the river." Sonam Tseten has a solution.

Whether it is a chariot array or a military camp, the most feared thing is that the water source will be cut off.

"Okay, retreat." Cuokao Taokai agreed and gave an order.

The chariot array was opened, and they ran back, not out of the range of the smoke, and the cavalry rushed over to see if there were any enemies behind them.

This kind of march can be said to be textbook, without any problems.

The problem is that they don't have telescopes and hot air balloons. During the day, Zhang Xiaosong "watched" their position and marching speed.

As well as the team composition, he helped them think of several ways.

Zhang Xiaosong used the advantages of hot air balloons and telescopes to the extreme, seeing the enemy first.

Li Yi didn't know that the border generals of the Tang Dynasty played the two things in a flowery way. Li Yi was thinking about the application of hot air balloons and telescopes used in combat at that time.

The main purpose was to discover the enemy's large forces in advance, set an ambush, or arrange calmly.

As a result, the border generals used two things to fight guerrilla warfare, bullying the enemy for not having enough vision.

Therefore, the border generals did not equip the infantry with hot air balloons and telescopes, but all cavalry, and were very willing to fight the enemy with scouts.

Vision, speed, fighting with more people, and blocking the battlefield.

The generals knew how to play when they got the hot air balloons and telescopes.

Why use infantry to fight you head-on? I can wear you down with cavalry. Do you send scouts? How many cavalry do you send at a time?

The Tubo team ran back, not daring to leave the smoke range, fearing that there would be an ambush on the left and right.

As they ran, the smoke became thinner. After running for a while, they completely broke away in the coughing of everyone and the uncomfortable situation of the horses.

The team did not stop, returned to the river, hurried on the road, saw the river under the starlight, and prepared to go over to re-form the formation.

"Kill~!" Shouts of killing sounded, and cavalry appeared on the left and right.

"Cavalry attack, form a formation, quickly, form a formation along the river, three layers." Sonam Tseden shouted.

Less than a thousand cavalry were divided into two teams, throwing down torches and rushing out.

They had torches before, but now they couldn't. Whoever had a torch would shoot the other.

The cavalry went to the left and right to meet the enemy. The Tang cavalry on both sides began to ride in circles, and arrows rained down at the same time.

The Tibetan cavalry fired a wave of arrows and followed in circles, trying to gain the upper hand.

Just like Li Yi's fleet at sea at that time to gain the upper hand and set up a T-shaped formation.

The two sides circled and moved away.

"Kill~~" Another killing sound was heard. A group of cavalry came from the opposite side of the river.

The Tibetans formed a formation along the river. There was no car behind, but the river, and they used the small river as an obstacle.

The river! Not deep enough, not wide enough.

The river, which was dozens of steps wide and less than two feet deep, could not stop the cavalry.

Some cavalry shot arrows when they were about to rush to the river, and then circled back without crossing the river.

More cavalry crossed the river from both sides of the car formation. The archers in the car formation could not shoot, and watched the other side cross the river.

"Kill~~" From the direction where the smoke drifted before, another large cavalry team appeared.

The cavalry that had crossed the river circled the camp, not rushing to charge.

The cavalry that came from the front sent out some people to help their own cavalry chase the cavalry that ran out from the two wings of the Tibetans.

Another cavalry dismounted and took out a military shovel to dig a hole in the ground.

Extending out little by little, the Tibetans in the camp watched, and they knew what the other side was going to do.

Even if some of their own cavalry ran back, it was so dark that the horse's hooves would be broken.

If you shout at a distance, you can stop your own cavalry. If you shout at a distance, the cavalry can't hear you.

"Attack, attack quickly, repel them, tell our cavalry to be careful." Cuo Kao Tao Kai shouted anxiously.

Sonam Ci Dan shook his head: "It's over, it's all over, who is the enemy general?"

He thought more than Cuo Kao Tao Kai, the Tang soldiers meant to let your infantry leave the chariot formation.

If you don't leave, you can't inform the cavalry.

If you leave, you will be killed.

There is no defense in front, behind, left, right, and behind the river.

When the cavalry is surrounded, what can the remaining infantry do to fight the other side?

Rely on the chariot formation? What if the other side takes the lead and continues to release smoke?

"What should we do then?" Cuo Kao Tao Kai wanted to rush out himself.

"Surrender, surrender." Sonam Ci Dan said with a bitter face.

What's the point of resisting when the battle is like this? If you move, you will die, and if you don't move, you will die.

After saying the words of surrender, he shouted: "Tang general, we surrender, please show mercy. Shout with me."

So a group of people shouted: "We surrender, please show mercy..."

When they shouted, a group of Tang slaves who walked to the river and were about to escape to the other side of the river stopped.

They wanted to run, and took advantage of the Tibetans' panic to run across the river.

Now they found that they didn't need to run, so they shouted, and the shouts seemed louder, Tang soldiers, hurry up, come and receive the prisoners, we are the masters.

As soon as they shouted, the Tang cavalry made way, and the Tibetan cavalry who had run away before came back, four-fifths of them came back, and the one-fifth who didn't come back was...
