The people near Zasykuzé were moving. They looked at the hot air balloons in the sky and looked for the gap between the two.
They knew that the hot air balloons knew how to move with the wind. If the wind did not blow to the side, the hot air balloons would not be able to pass.
The hot air balloons were still floating slowly. A group of people protected Zasykuzé below.
Then, the hot air balloons floated past the middle army and toward the rear army.
In any case, Zasykuzé was relieved and ordered the troops to return to their original position.
He was confused. What did the other party mean? Could the hot air balloons still float to Tubo Zan-Pu? How many miles was that?
Guo Zhiyun looked at the hot air balloons with his binoculars. When he saw that it was about time, he put down his binoculars and waved his sword forward again. "Launch the sky monkeys. Front army, attack."
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong! The drums sounded, and the front army marched forward.
The attack drums were slow at first, but then they became faster and faster. When the drums were beaten continuously, it was time for the soldiers to run.
The people behind the sky monkeys dropped their torches on the fuse. With a sizzling sound, the fuse burned quickly and became shorter.
The people holding the torches ran back. The sky monkeys were too big. When they flew out, they spat fire behind them.
The fuse burned to the end.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! One after another, the sky monkeys flew out.
Some flew in a straight line, some jumped to the side, and some suddenly rose, then spun in the sky and smashed to the ground.
Boom! Boom! Boom! One after another, the sky monkeys exploded. Some exploded in the air, and some exploded in the crowd.
More than a dozen flew into the formation of Tubo Cavalry. For a moment, people and horses were thrown off their feet.
Even those who were not directly hit by the explosion staggered from the shock wave. Their ears were buzzing.
At the same time, the hot air balloons that had just floated to the rear of the enemy began to throw down explosive packs.
The rear army was also thrown off their feet. They could not hear anything.
Especially the explosive packs that exploded a few feet above their heads. A large number of people below fell to the ground.
The front army revealed a gap, and the rear army formation was in chaos.
The cavalrymen of the Tang dynasty who were running behind the troops just now rushed out. Their target was the Tubo cavalrymen.
Right at this moment, another 20 vehicles loaded with sky-piercing monkeys were pulled to the open space in front of the army.
Another twenty hot air balloons rose from behind and flew forward.
The drumbeats were rapid and concentrated, and the soldiers in the vanguard began to run.
"Kill ~ ~" they shouted.
"Run!" Tubo's vanguard finally broke down.
They saw a new hot air balloon. Who was it going to explode this time?
After the front line was blown up, they were not in a proper formation. Now that they turned around and ran in all directions, it became even more chaotic.
The strong archers of the Tang dynasty rained down arrows, shooting down groups of people one after another.
Tubo's archers' formation was disrupted by their own people, and they were still preparing to counterattack.
Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~ Whoosh ~ The monkey flew over again.
Following the rumbling sounds of explosions, the Archers also turned around and ran. They couldn't win this battle.
Those things exploded everywhere and blew a big hole in their formation. The sword-shield soldiers who were supposed to be in front of them were gone. How could they fight against the enemy's sword-shield soldiers and spearmen with bows?
"Don't run! Don't run! Charge! Back line! Kill those who run!"
Zasykuzé panicked. Once the defeated troops were formed, it was time to chase or run. His side was running.
After shouting, he remembered that the back line had just been blown up.
The hot air balloons in the sky were about to float over. This time, they would definitely blow up where they were.
"Move! Hide! Steady! They don't have that many weapons." Zasykuzé shouted and moved.
When he moved before, no one reacted. Now that he moved again, they would think that he was going to run, so he might as well run together.
Tens of thousands of people were squeezing and running. Let's see who ran faster.
The Mo soldiers of the Tang dynasty threw down their Mo swords and quickly took off their heavy armor. They rushed to the front and picked up the enemy's weapon and started to chase after them.
Some picked up swords and were happy; some picked up spears and were happy; some saw shields and directly bypassed them.
Those who picked up bows and arrows looked for the quiver and carried it on their bodies. They nocked arrows and shot forward as they chased.
The Mo soldiers might not be very good at archery, but they were definitely strong enough.
There were also some who couldn't find a weapon, so they picked up a stone and threw it out. He really hit one of them in the back of the head.
The other party fell down. He rushed over and stepped on the other party's neck. Then, he picked up the other party's sword and chased after them.
The cavalry of the Tang dynasty stared at the Tubo cavalry and killed them. Some spearmen saw that they couldn't catch up, so they organized a dozen people to help the cavalry attack the enemy cavalry.
The cavalry of the Tang dynasty chiseled through. The Tubo cavalry tried their best to not let their horses go crazy.
The cavalry of the Tang dynasty moved wave after wave according to the Mongolian cavalry's chiseling method that Li Yi had learned.
The Tubo cavalry was stunned. They grabbed the reins of their horses and wanted to rush out to increase their speed.
The spearmen came over and stabbed at them.
The Mo soldiers who didn't pick up a weapon followed and rushed towards the Tubo cavalry. They pounced on the other party and threw him off his horse. They raised their big fists and knocked him out.
The Mo soldiers were tall and strong. Those who rushed too quickly were knocked down along with their horses.
This time, there was a sword, an enemy's sword.
Zasykuzé ran. He had to run. The hot air balloons did indeed throw down explosives when they reached the top.
Moreover, there were people who shot down arrows from the second batch of hot air balloons. Although he wasn't shot, he felt that the other party's arrows were not accurate.
But what if the other party missed and the arrow hit his head?
The chase and escape continued. Guo Zhiyun didn't move. He put away his sword.
He leaned down and reached into Wang Junkui's pocket next to him and took out a handful of hazelnuts.
He threw one into his mouth and spat out the shell. He chewed on the hazelnuts and said, "In the future, the war will be a war of air superiority. The cavalry will charge and seize the initiative."
Wang Junkui touched his pocket and took out a handful of pine nuts and a small pair of pliers from another pocket.
He held the pine nuts. "The best way to deal with firearms is to scatter the soldiers. But if the enemy goes out of the scatter line, our army will push over."
"Write it down later. Write it down in detail so that the generals in other parts of the Tang dynasty will know and see if they have any better ideas."
Guo Zhiyun threw another hazelnut into his mouth. He was thinking about how he would face his current tactics if it were him.
It seemed that there was only one way, which was to charge and not to confront the enemy in formation.
Whoever charged first would be at a disadvantage, but it was better than being attacked passively.
He estimated that the next time they fought Tubo, the Tibetan Army would attack like crazy.
Wang Junkui ate a few pine nuts and handed them over. "Pine nuts are more fragrant than hazelnuts."
"These pine nuts are from Bohai. Looking at Li Yi's intention, he doesn't want Bohai to be stable and strong."
When Guo Zhiyun mentioned Li Yi, his eyes unconsciously showed a look of admiration.
Wang Junkui held a pine nut and turned it around. "I don't know what other weapons Li Yi can make. Is this Sky Monkey expensive? If there are more Sky Monkeys, we can directly attack the city. "
"After this war, we should be able to exchange all our captured people back. I don't know how many Tubo people killed."
Guo Zhiyun clenched his fist as he spoke, crushing several hazelnuts.
