However, when Nan Gongxun saw the Tubo cavalry, his mood, which was quite contemptuous just now, immediately changed.

This turned out to be a heavy cavalry!

War horses are generally not tall, most of which are less than five feet tall, but they are short and strong, so this is nothing. War horses are all wrapped in armor!

At present, in the Thunder Ye Army, the heavy cavalry at the three battalions of Bogda, Bogra and Tianshan, the heavy infantry were replaced with new cotton armor. Such cotton armor can ensure that the war horses can maintain combat power after a long period of time. This is because the few war horses obtained by the Thunder Ye Army's pastoral supervisor after more than ten years of careful cultivation can achieve such ability.

At this time, almost all heavy cavalry in the Tubo Kingdom could achieve this!

Of course, this is also related to the fact that people living on the plateau are generally not tall and thin, and can only achieve the extraordinary endurance of war horses.

The armor of the Tubo Gui Army mainly consists of scale armor and chain mail, which covers the chest and back, while the softer chain mail covers the neck, arms, shoulders, and war horses.

With Tibet production, it is obviously impossible to compete with the Central Plains dynasty before the unification is completed, but once the unification is completed and with the excellent commander bonus, its strength is still very strong.

At this time, the Tubo Kingdom had conquered the countries on the southern foot of the Himalayas, and the countries on the upper reaches of the Indus River naturally merged with Persia and Rome in terms of smelting. After taking down Tuyuhun and Bailan Qiang, these two forces rely on the Central Plains, obviously they have learned from the smelting techniques of the Central Plains Empire.

Of course, with their strength, even with the strength of the whole country, it can only meet the needs of the Gui army, and it is impossible for the vast number of slave soldiers to have magical weapons.

For this reason, the tactics of the Tubo cavalry during combat are like a hodgepodge!

Among the thousand cavalrymen of Murong Tuhun, the three hundred cavalry that suddenly emerged were obviously his elites, one with two-foot-long cavalry spear, but each with a javelin in his left hand!

This outfit is obviously very different from the current tribes in the Mobei grassland. Even if the tribes in the Mobei have long-range weapons that are close to hand-to-hand combat, they still have some bones, stone axes, and short guns, but they certainly have not appeared in large numbers. The Tubo people did this obviously borrowed from the Persians' weapons.

Their tactics were completely unmatched in the southern foot of the Himalayas, and the upper reaches of the Indus River. In those places, there were either thin mouths or no war horses at all. Before that, the Tubo people had almost never met the great cannibals. As for the battle with the Tang Dynasty, they were still at a disadvantage, but obviously they were not defeated to the point where they were almost destroyed, similar to the Turks.

Otherwise, the population that can be supported by the high and cold areas will have perished long ago.

There is another reason here. With the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, if the number of people on both sides is equal, there will be no opponent in this world. When Gao Xianzhi fought against the Battle of Talas, it will be 20,000 to 100,000. Once the Tang army enters the plateau, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers due to lack of oxygen (they do not know it themselves) will also make the front line of both sides only maintain near the West Sea.

If you go deeper into the plateau, it’s not impossible, but you can’t catch it.

Even if Murong Tuhun encounters an elite Tang army, he will have the power to fight. If the commander is strong, the probability of winning is quite high.

But he met Ye Jun!

Sun Xiurong's Shattered Ye Army is the unit in the world that attaches the most importance to long-range strike capabilities. Even cavalry, in addition to bows and arrows, are equipped with short crossbows to approach raids!

The originally five-pound short crossbow has become a standard seven-pound step bow with a length and weight, after changing the material of the crossbow body, crossbow string and increasing pulleys in recent years, but its length and weight are far less than that of the step bow!

When the thousand men from Nangongxun rushed towards the Tubo cavalry, they did not rush around in a row.

The five hundred heavy cavalry he personally led was without saying. The two hundred people in the sudden outbreak were half of the tiger spearmen and half of the iron mace soldiers (used to deal with heavy cavalry armed to the teeth), and the left hand was holding a short crossbow that had been put on the string in advance!

The force of these two hundred people's short crossbows has reached the level of one stone. After firing nearby, the powerful arrow branches are almost straight after being shot at the position close to the enemy cavalry!

The three hundred people behind were a distance away from the two hundred people in front. When the two hundred people in front were about to shoot with a short crossbow, they would shoot with bows and arrows.

Although the ordinary cavalry battalion behind him is known as the "Light Cavalry Battalion", it is still a "sharp soldier" in this world.

The tactic that the Broken Ye Army has tried and tested is to "break" the enemy's formation with the powerful impact force of the heavy cavalry. When the enemy is scattered, the light cavalry behind them will enter again. At that time, because the light cavalry still has a short crossbow in their hands, they still have the upper hand!

“Woo…”

The messenger beside Nan Gongxun blew the order to shoot crossbow arrows in his hand.

At this time, the distance between the two sides had reached ten feet!

Almost at the same time, the Tubo cavalry's javelin and the Broken Ye Army's crossbow arrow were fired at the same time!

At this time, if there is a high-speed camera, you will find the trajectory of the medium-range weapons of both sides - the crossbow arrow of the Sabrei Army fired at an almost straight angle. After flying thirty meters, the angle generated will not exceed five degrees, while the Tubo people's javelin is a standard projectile!

The two hundred people in front of the heavy cavalry of the Shattered Leaf Army were wrapped in armor, and the wide-eaves of the iron helmet on their heads had good protection against the javelins that had been thrown out with human power and flew thirty meters. However, if they happened to hit the horse's head, although it would not be fatal, it would still disturb the war horses and make them run away in disobedience.

At this time, the only thing the knight above had to do was to try hard to control it to run forward. If it ran to both sides and backward, it would cause chaos on its own formation.

For the Tubo cavalry, once the arrow shoots at almost straight angles hit, the conical armor-breaking arrow will inevitably cause damage!

If you are lucky, it is also very likely to cause a fatal effect of one blow!

At this time, if you look from the top down, you will see that under the attack of the javelin, there was a riot in the cavalry in front of the Sabrene Army, but it was basically still maintaining a forward-looking situation. However, under the attack of the fired bows and arrows and strong crossbows, the Tubo cavalry was not as simple as riots.

You can't expect a wounded war horse to obey the command of the cavalry!

Murong Tuhun's cavalry are in chaos!

As the rabbit rose and falcon fell, Nan Gongxun, who was in the front, had already put his short crossbow beside him, and the tiger spear, which was one foot long, had already raised!

"flutter......"

Nan Gongxun's heavy cavalry had already cut into Murong Tuhun's cavalry!

This is the standard practice of cavalry in today's world. After breaking into the enemy's formation, the 35-year-old Nan Gongxun looked like a dragon that had not swam in the sea for a long time. He held a ten-pound tiger gun in his hands and rushed left and right, as if he had entered a no-man's land.

For tiger spearmen, the barb under a foot-long dagger-shaped blade is not as simple as hooking enemy weapons.

Barbs also have sharp blades. If people with rich experience in using tiger guns, if they have enough strength, they can completely use barbs to cut off the opponent's gun rod. Of course, those who have the highest martial arts skills and can accurately hit the enemy's gun rod can use the tiger gun blade to complete this step.

So, under his leadership, two hundred cavalrymen cut a big hole into Murong Tuhun's formation in a very short time!

After the big hole was formed, the Tubo cavalry in the middle avoided the two sides, causing chaos in the cavalry on both sides. At this time, the two light cavalry battalions behind came up, and after a large formation threw arrows, they also came over!

......

Murong Tuhun was defeated, and most of his 1,000 cavalry were wiped out. In the end, he led less than two hundred cavalry out of the encirclement and then rushed towards the Nazhi County to the west!

Not long after, he met the remaining 1,500 "infantry" who were following the Nangong Xun Cavalry Battalion and moving closer to Yizhou City. As mentioned earlier, the infantry of the Sabreye Army can actually be used as cavalry. The heavy infantry and strong crossbow battalion are actually no less than the regular cavalry battalion!

So Murong Tuhun was surrounded again. This time, he did not escape and unfortunately fell off his horse and was captured!

......

One day later, he was hired in the county town.

Looking at the former Tuyuhun army rushing towards the city wall on the low wall, Shang Jiezan was in anger. He cursed them in his heart by using the Bon method. Originally, Tuyuhun slave soldiers were only slaves in this life, and there was a "very likely" (Tubo nobles) to become civilians and nobles in the next life, but the curse he issued was to make them "slaves forever", which was not poisonous.

But none of this helped. Just before the attack of the Dao Army, these 2,500 Dao Army had been cursed by their "leader" and they were already "free" civilians!

For the Wujun, none of the 100 Shang Jiezans did Nie Xu Wei Longqiang. Perhaps Zanpu, who appeared in the world as the son of the gods, might make them afraid, but a mere small discussion on Shang Jiezan could not do it.

What's even more fatal is:

Just now, the five hundred kilogram artillery of the Shattered Ye Jun showed its power and collapsed an earthen wall.

As soon as the cannon was launched, it was not only the earth wall, but also the strong hearts of the Tubo people's Bon doctrine armed.

The most deadly thing is:

Right in front of the formation, Nie Xuweilong, dressed in the costume of the leader of the sect, kept calling out to the city with a loudspeaker rolled in iron.

"I am the real son of the Three Gods, Nie Xuweilong. After Xinrao Miwo, the Three Gods are above. I will lift all the curses trapped on you in the name of the leader. As long as you pick up your weapons and kill and exploit your master, you will be free!"

(Three gods, the god of heaven "Praise", the god of earth "Nian", the god of earth "Dragon", Xinrao Miwo, the founder of Yongzhong Ben Sect)

When Nie Xu and Wei Long said this, there were a hundred Tuyuhun Daojun behind him, and the momentum was very powerful.

Since the launch of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, although both sides have captured many soldiers from each other, the Tang Dynasty has never captured so many slaughtered troops in an organization, because for the slaughter army, if they die in a battle, they can end their fate or curse early and let their next life come sooner.

(One of the Bon doctrines revised by Songtsen Gampo at this time)

Even if they were unfortunately injured and captured, they would not surrender easily. In the end, the Tang army had to kill them all.

It is definitely the first time in their life for them to look like they are in front of them!
Chapter completed!
