Chapter 624: The Infantry Rush
Chen Bing reached out to catch the mist in the air, and wanted to catch the fog in front of him. Unsurprisingly, he naturally caught a hole. As the first line of defense for Qianyou Guard, his pressure was really a bit great. Because the general came back after the military meeting and said that they would face a blow that Laza would do his best.
If it was a normal battle, Chen Bing would not be afraid of his opponent. No matter how elite the Tubo soldiers were, the Right Qianniu Guard would not be worse than them. But the problem is that the war that was about to come was not a normal battle. Seeing the thicker and thicker fog, he felt very upset.
The Tang army's equipment advantage was almost completely offset by the heavy fog.
The sound of drums drifting with the wind reminded him that he was getting closer and closer to the moment of the battle.
Behind him, there were two lines of defense. The second one was defended by Chu Sheng, and the third one was led by General Liu Ruyan himself. Behind him, is Li Xiang's headquarters camp. In Liu Ruyan's words, it is to let a soldier appear outside Li Xiang's camp, which is the failure of the Right Qianniu Guard.
If it was normal weather conditions, Chen Bing could guarantee that such a situation would never happen, but today, his heart was irritated. At this moment, even his subordinates outside the more than ten steps in front of him were already vaguely watching.
At this time, he was particularly eager for a strong wind or a heavy rain to dissipate the fog completely.
Unfortunately, there was no wind or rain. However, the heavy fog was soaked that his armor became wet, and a handful of water was a touch.
The night is very quiet.
Thousands of soldiers stood silently in their positions, silently waiting for the upcoming war.
There was a night roar on the top of a trench behind him, whistling constantly. It thought it was a big tree, but in fact, a few days ago, all the trees here were cut off completely, and even the stumps were dug out, and now they have long become ashes in the stove of the leading soldiers.
Chen Bing was a little tired of the Ye Zi, which made people feel upset. He bent down and picked up a stone seed from the ground and smashed it hard. Ye Zi was frightened and flapped his wings and flew towards Huangyun Mountain, and was chirping while flying.
In the dead silence, a crisp sound of bells suddenly came.
First there was the sound of a bell, and then countless bells were heard.
Chen Bing stood up suddenly.
"Enemy attack!" Before he could speak, an officer shouted loudly, and the war horn sounded immediately. The slashing plane with Ye Zi was still on the verge of a thunderous sound. The huge throwing arm was raised high, throwing the rock bullet out, and flew into the invisible thick fog.
Since we knew there would be heavy fog this morning and since we knew that the enemy would definitely launch the final decisive battle in this foggy day, the Tang army would naturally make some arrangements.
They set up countless mechanisms in front of the position. Their functions are more to inform and remind the enemy where they have arrived. Whether it is a catapult or a powerful crossbow, they have determined the shooting distance in advance. At that time, even if they cannot see blind shooting, as long as there are enough numbers, they can kill and injure the enemy in large quantities.
The long-distance suppression of the Tang army on both sides has always been famous for covering shooting.
But one thing beyond Chen Bing's surprise was that the enemy did not use cavalry to launch a charge first, but instead did the opposite, using infantry as the team for the first wave of attacks.
A personal soldier was summoned and he immediately went to the second defense line to report the incident to Chu Sheng.
The Right Qianniu Guard thought that Laza would use cavalry to try to open the gap, so he had many arrangements to deal with the cavalry, but the ones came were infantry and a lot of work, but they were all washed away.
This is a trouble.
A scream came from the thick fog. The catapult's attack fell under such weather and received some unexpected effects. The enemy could not see the flight trajectory of the stone bomb falling from the sky. When they heard the whistling sound, it was too late to avoid it.
The powerful crossbows were fired one after another, penetrated into the thick fog and disappeared. Batches of crossbow arrows shot into the air, falling like rain, but no one knew what the result of the battle was.
The shouting in the thick fog became louder and closer. Chen Bing drew out the horizontal knife and shouted with all his strength: "Prepare to fight!"
Behind one by one, the Tang army's spearmen stared at the front, and behind them, the sword and shield soldiers stood quietly behind. Behind them, the crossbow soldiers were still firing desperately into the thick fog.
In the thick fog, sparse feather arrows were hit back. After so long, the Tubo people had very few arrows left. The Tang army was not too scarce to hide from these little feather products.
A big black thing suddenly appeared in front of Tang Jun.
It is about ten feet long and five or six feet wide.
This thing is moving slowly, but it is slowly pushing forward in the thick fog.
Tang Jun finally saw what that was.
It was a wooden raft, with tree rods as thick as sea bowls tied together with vines, and then carried them by hundreds or more soldiers. Seeing this thing, Chen Bing suddenly realized that he was afraid that the effects of the previous powerful crossbows and crossbow arrows were not very good. Only those catapults may cause some damage to the opponent.
Seeing those black wooden platoons falling down towards the side van positions of the Tang army, Chen Bing felt a little distressed.
Fuck it!
The side van broke through a bang.
In the rear, countless Tubo infantry rushed up roaring.
"Kill them back!" Chen Bing roared and rushed up.
The previous mistakes in the data of the enemy caused the arrangement of squats and other things that blocked the cavalry completely lost their effect. The large wooden rafts made by the enemy made local materials also minimized the power of the Tang army's crossbow arrows. If it was clearly visible, the Tang army had countless ways to deal with such large wooden rafts, first breaking them apart, and then using cover shooting to kill large numbers of their soldiers, but under such visible conditions, they could do nothing.
Next, it can only be a real fight between the two sides.
There is no place to take advantage of.
A total of five thousand Tubo elite soldiers rushed towards the Tang army opposite in the thick fog.
The two sides are of the same number. In the thick fog, any combat cooperation will lose its effectiveness. Some are just the most primitive close-killing battle. Whoever has greater power, faster speed, and more sensitive reactions will be able to win temporary victory in this bloody battle.
The reason why it is said to be temporary is that the person who just survived the fight between the two may be pierced by a spear that suddenly poked over and felt a chill in his heart.
The sideguard Chu Sheng listened to the shocking shouts from afar, and was so anxious that he kept circling around the place with the ants on the hot pan.
"General, let me go up and support!" Chu Sheng looked at Liu Ruyan, the general of the Right Qianniu Guard who arrived here shortly after the war started in front of him. "I heard the shouts of killing, I am afraid that there are a lot of enemies. I have already fought with Chen Bing and the others."
Liu Ruyan glanced at him and said coldly: "Chen Bing has five thousand people on his hands, are you afraid that he can't stop him?"
"I'm not afraid that he can't stop it, but I feel sorry for this kind of playing style. The loss is too great!" Chu Sheng stomped his feet.
"What kind of fighting style will the loss be less?" Liu Ruyan shook her head and said, "Laza did not use cavalry to charge, but instead used infantry to charge. What did he want to do?"
"Who knows what that barbarian wants to do?" Chu Sheng said in anger.
Liu Ruyan listened for a moment, her brows became tighter and tighter, and suddenly said, "Chu Sheng, before the second line of defense, immediately re-arrange the obstacles to the cavalry charge."
"General, all the side vans and the like are in Chen Bing!"
"You always have trip masso, right? No matter what you have here, as long as you can stop the cavalry from charging or slow down the cavalry's speed, you will arrange it for me immediately."
"General, the fierce battle between the two sides is now lying among us, how could the Tubo cavalry come over?" Chu Sheng disagreed.
"How do you come here? Ruyan rushed over!" Liu Ruyan said coldly: "Didn't you hear that the battle there is moving to both sides. What does this mean? It shows that the Tubo infantry rushing to the formation are consciously pulling Chen Bing's subordinates to the two wings, and the middle is being vacant."
Chu Sheng was surprised. After hearing it carefully, his face changed. He turned around and ordered again and again. The soldiers under his command immediately became busy.
"General, please go back! I can defend the second line of defense." Chu Sheng suddenly turned around and said to Liu Ruyan.
"Laza's thrust attack is not so easy to block." Liu Ruyan turned over and looked at Chu Sheng and said, "Just kill, slow down, you don't have to fight them hard. Leave the rest to me!"
"I understand!" Chu Sheng nodded with a smile.
Liu Ruyan took a few steps and suddenly turned around and looked at Chu Sheng and smiled, "I underestimated Laza. I had boasted about Haikou earlier that a Tubo soldier rushed to the Central Army headquarters and even if I lost! Now it seems that I am indeed going to lose, but it doesn't matter. There is Li Han, Li Gan, and Min Rou in the Central Army headquarters. Our mission is to kill and injure them in large quantities. Chu Sheng, what I said earlier is just to fart. Don't you want to waste your life just for such a word, do you understand?"
"I understand General!" Chu Sheng laughed.
Liu Ruyan ran away on horseback.
If Laza's elite cavalry rushed over, Chu Sheng would definitely not be able to block it. Once the third line of defense was fought, under such a situation, there would definitely be many Tubo soldiers rushing out.
Chu Sheng was busy laying out tripping ropes, and all the messy things were left to the place where the soldiers were left to more than a hundred steps in front of the position. All the powerful crossbows were concentrated by him to a distance of more than a thousand steps.
