Chapter 776 How Can You Be So Stupid
Although the trap caused a lot of casualties to the Western Turks, it also destroyed the trap in sevens and eighties.
If you don't take advantage of the Western Turks not responding now, you feel that you should clean up the corpses, and the Western Turks will attack again later, the trap will not be of much use.
Cheng Chumo arranged for a group of soldiers to go out to clean up the battlefield.
"General, I seem to have heard a Western Turkic soldier calling out to Commander Wan just now, did he just kill a Western Turkic Commander Wan?" Cheng Chumo said excitedly.
As the name suggests, Chief Wan is a general who commands ten thousand people. Whether he is in the Tang Dynasty or Western Turkic, his status is very high.
Even Lin Xuan only commanded 1 people.
"The enemy's general who led the army was indeed shot down. I don't know if he died or not, but it is a great achievement to be able to shoot the local general, whether he is dead or not. All the archers who shot arrows just recorded the merit once. After the battle, the deeds will be judged. Reward." Lin Xuan said.
"General, Western Turkic has suffered such a big loss, will it attack from here?" Cheng Chumo said worriedly.
They have now mobilized most of their troops and crossbows here. If the Western Turks attack from other places, other places may not be able to resist.
Lin Xuan smiled and said: "No, we have set up traps around the camp. Although the Western Turks don't know, as long as the generals of the Western Turks are not fools, they will definitely have doubts, and the traps here have probably been covered. They've come out, and it's in their best interest to attack from here."
Dawa Tsering led the troops behind him, and waited for Zhuo Hannis to lead his men to break through the enemy's camp, and then led his troops straight in.
However, Zhuohannis failed to break through the Tang army's camp, but lost more than 3000 people.
Dawa Tsering's face changed when he learned that Zhuo Hannis had died in battle.
Zhuohannis is Shaboluo's confidant, although both of them are heads of ten thousand, but Zhuohannis has never put Dawa Tsering in his eyes.
Just now Shaboluo ordered the two to attack together, Zhuohannis directly asked him to lead the army behind, and led his own to go first in order to grab the credit.
Although Dawa Tsering was unhappy with Zhuohannis, but now that Zhuohannis is dead, what if Shaboluo pursues him?
Dawa Tsering didn't have time to think about it, so he had Zhuo Hannis's body carried and went to see Shaboluo.
When Shaboluo heard that Dawa Tsering was begging to see him, he had someone bring him here, and said with some displeasure, "I asked you and Zhuo Hannis to attack the Tang army's camp. Why did you withdraw after attacking once?"
Because the distance was too far, Sabolo did not see clearly the situation on the battlefield to the southwest.
"My lord, Zhuo Hannis died in battle." Dawa Tsering said with his head down.
"What?" Shaboluo was taken aback, and said in disbelief, "How could Zhuo Hannis die in battle?"
Dawa Tsering told Shaboluo the details of what he had learned from the retreating soldiers.
"Damn it!" Shaboluo said with a livid face, "I want to kill the Tang army, and I'll mobilize another 1 people for you. If you can't break through the Tang army camp now, you don't have to come back!"
"Yes!"
Knowing that the Tang army has traps, Dawa Tsering is still very confident that he can break through the Tang army's camp as long as he fights steadily.
……
"Let the soldiers outside withdraw quickly." Seeing that the Western Turks were attacking again, Lin Xuan said hastily.
The messenger hurriedly rang gold, and the soldiers who were clearing the battlefield outside hurriedly retreated according to a safe route.
"Western Turks seem to have increased their troops again, are they planning to use their lives to fill our trap?" Cheng Chumo said.
Lin Xuan shook his head and said: "Traps are a thing, surprise can play a big role, once the opponent is prepared, it is difficult to be effective."
Sure enough, Lin Xuan was right.
The soldiers of the Western Turks were about to reach the trap area, so the soldiers in the front row got off their horses and searched carefully on the ground.
Tang Jun released the arrow, and the opponent immediately set up a shield, which greatly reduced Tang Jun's arrows.
Hundreds of lives were paid, and almost all the traps outside were found out.
A trace of solemnity flashed across Lin Xuan's face, and he said, "Just follow the plan."
After the Western Turks cleared the trap, they were already very close to the Datang camp, and the soldiers on both sides could even clearly see the expressions on each other's faces.
"Woo~"
With the sound of the horn, the soldiers clearing the trap dispersed to both sides, and the soldiers who had been waiting behind rushed towards the Datang camp on horseback.
"Get ready!" Cheng Chu silently shouted, "Let go!"
Following Cheng Chumo's order, more than 1000 soldiers drew their short spears from behind, and under the cover of their comrades' shields, threw their short spears at the cavalry of the Western Turks.
Originally, throwing spears was equipment for cavalry, but according to legend, it was invented by Ma Chao to deal with heavy cavalry.
The reason why Ma Chao was able to kill Cao Cao by cutting off his robe and beard was because he threw a spear and caused great damage to Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry.
Lin Xuan didn't know if it was true or not, but throwing spears against heavy cavalry was indeed very effective.
The Turkic people lack iron, and even many weapons are not made of iron, so naturally there are no heavy cavalry.
Lin Xuan asked Cheng Yaojin for some throwing guns, which were specially used to deal with shields.
Ancient shields were all made of wood, with a layer of iron on the outside. Turkic shields didn't even have iron, and they were effective in defending against arrows, but they couldn't prevent spears from being thrown.
When the spear shot the shield, those wooden shields were immediately reimbursed.
More than 1000 people, each with three short spears, after the throwing, the shields in front of the Western Turks were basically depleted.
"Fire arrows!"
Arrows shot all over the sky towards the Turks.
Seeing that most of the shields were destroyed, Dawa Tsering also ordered the soldiers to shoot.
At this time, the two sides are very close, and it doesn't make much sense to be accurate. Most of the shots at people will not be empty.
Although the Western Turks had a large number of people, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were protected by shields, and the losses were very small.
Seeing this scene, Dawa Tsering was about to order the army to press up, when the horn sounded to withdraw the troops from behind.
Although Dawa Tsering was unwilling, he did not dare to disobey the military order. He cast a bitter look at the Tang army camp and ordered the troops to withdraw.
Naturally, Tang Jun would not give up this opportunity, and continued to shoot and kill the Turkic soldiers with arrows.
When the Turkic soldiers withdrew from the range of the arrows of the Tang army, thousands of corpses were left behind.
After Dawa Tsering withdrew, he saw Shaboluo.
Sabolo was worried about the war here, so he came here in person.
"My lord, why did you suddenly order the withdrawal of troops? If you give me a little more time, I will definitely be able to break through the Tang army's camp." Dawa Tsering's tone could not conceal his anger.
There was a trace of murderous intent in Shaboluo's eyes, which quickly disappeared, and he said lightly: "It's already noon now, people are tired and horses are exhausted, and we will break through the Tang army camp in one fell swoop after we are full."
Dawa Tsering was short-tempered, he had only fought in front of the battalion after suffering such a huge loss, and now he retreated for such a reason.
They are exhausted, don't the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have time to eat?
After they rested, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty also had a chance to breathe, and they would need to pay a lot of casualties to attack again.
He really couldn't figure out how Saburo could be so stupid.
