3. Central officials take the lead

At the front line, Shang Jiezan arranged a total of 90 "Cao" and a total of 4,500 people. Fifteen heads of Thousand Houses (after Songzan Gamp, the successor Zanpu reduced the command of Thousand Houses to prevent the chiefs from being dictatorial, and in fact one Thousand Houses to command 300 soldiers) and three more people were expected to supervise the battle. Each head of Thousand Houses had twenty "Gui" and thirty "Yong" in each head of Thousand Houses, and attacked Gao Gu's front with three wings.

Shang Jiezan personally suppressed the remaining 1,500 reserve teams, including 500 guards of the Arc Gate wearing tiger and leopard skins, all of which were fierce cavalrymen, ready to support them.

The sound of Gootou Yuan drums was loud, and the sound of killing was shocking: On the front line of the Western Fan Army, the "Yong" were wearing light cowhide armor, some of whom did not even wear armor, and they only wore sheep brown robes, and walked out of the formation team as fast as flying, and soon approached the Baicao Army within a hundred steps in front of the southern slope front.

The "Gui" followed him, riding on war horses, with the men and horses wearing refined chain mail, and with heavy helmets protecting the skull, only a pair of eyes were exposed on their bodies. From a distance, it looked like a steel array wall slowly advancing, which was terrifying.

"Don't shoot these light soldiers with crossbows!" At this time, Zhang Xi held the order flag tightly and reminded loudly.

Therefore, the bow teams and crossbow teams mixed in the infantry team were all calm and held their breath, pinched the crossbow machine in their hands, and slightly raised the direction they were in the right direction.

Before the words could be finished, the stone rain of the "Yuan" soldiers in the Western Fan hit the head and faced!

This kind of light-weight stone-dumping rope used by mediocre soldiers is called "Wudo".

According to legend, when the first generation of Xifan Nichizanpu was reigned, a divine bull went to Mount Sumeru, but he encountered a provocative and obstructed him by a big snake on the way. The divine bull raised his foot and stepped on the snake's waist. The snake was furious and suddenly bounced straight from its curved posture, attacking the divine bull.

The Xifan people who witnessed this scene imitated the snake and invented the "Uduo".

The wool is very easy to make. Twist out a two-meter-long wool rope, then split a hole in the middle and stuff it into the leather pocket. Then, a metal buckle ring is placed on the other end of the rope. When using it, use the ring finger and squeeze the buckle ring the size of a pigeon egg into the leather pocket. Then, swing the buckle ring and quickly turn the buckle rope. After several rounds, throw it hard, and immediately shoot the stone bullet out dozens of steps, which is very powerful.

On weekdays, these mediocre people use Wuduo to punish those outliers. Sometimes they are bullied by noble lords, and they also use Wuduo to use the livestock to practice their skills to vent their anger, so they are very accurate.

The stone rain instantly spread to the soldiers in the three armies of the Baicao Army. With screams, many Baicao soldiers were hit, and some were broken inexplicably. Some people kept falling down, and the formation fluctuated layer by layer.

The mediocre men shouted and cursed, took out the stones from their bags (there are all kinds of things), stuffed them into their leather pockets, and threw the black dog into a gust of wind, spinning like a flower on their arms, and soon another rain of bullets was thrown out.

Later, the main soldiers of Xifan, namely Gui, rode on horseback and stayed calmly in the area about fifty steps behind the mediocre men. They could see many earth-group crossbowmen in the Baicao Army's formation. They knew that the most effective way for the Tang soldiers to deal with their strong armor was to use crossbow arrows, so they would never charge rashly, but were waiting for the opportunity - the opportunity for attack after the Tang soldiers fired the crossbow.

"Those who move the crossbows randomly, kill them!" Gao Gu, who was under the Pixiu, also saw the intentions of the Western soldiers, "The team of cards beside the regiment, come forward!"

With this order, the original jumping soldiers behind the various armies carried out side signs of infantry.

The so-called side sign is a large long shield with a pointed top and flat bottom, and a wood on the back, which is used to support the side sign on the ground.

"Chala" the cards on the side were stuck on the hillside, and then the jumpers raised the iron ball cards (round shields) tied to their arms, forming an extremely strong shield wall.

At this time, the stones shot by the mediocre men of Xifan smashed on the board and made spots of pits, but they could no longer hurt the white grass soldiers crouching behind them.

Then Gao Gu ordered the launch of ten tiger-crawler cannon vehicles. Eight sharp spears were inserted in front of the tiger-crawler cannon vehicle to facilitate the propulsion. Behind the car is a simple three-pin flying cannon. Several people can pull the cannon cable and launch the stone, and the stone bullet can fly 150 steps away.

Ten tiger-jue cannon trucks were pulled off the ropes, and the wooden shaft flipped, throwing out the stones. The stones roared and rolled, and then accurately smashed into the queue of mediocre soldiers in Xifan with a sharp roar. How could the stones thrown out of mediocre soldiers in Wuduo compete with the flying stones of mediocre gun chariot? Among the splashing dust, many mediocre people were smashed to the point of brains, their heads opened and their backs were folded, and they soon flocked back and retreated.

Under the frog battle, Shang Jiezan saw that the front was bombarded by the Tang army's artillery carriage, but the Tang army's crossbow formation was not yet fired, and hesitated whether to throw the elite soldiers from the back formation into the assault.

At Sunqiu Valley, Shang Jiezan's former team had been bravely defeated by Zhang Jingze's army, but just when Zhang Jingze was about to take advantage of the victory and kill all the foreign soldiers, he won the victory pass. The reinforcements of the Western foreign soldiers from the two villages of Longshan Pass happened to arrive down the mountain, and the situation returned to the stage of fighting.

At the critical moment, Goutouyuan suddenly appeared again, with flags flying, like strong wind, crossing the area between Goutouyuan and Sunqiu Valley.

This army was the cavalry and mule army of the Baicao Army, and also the surprise soldiers in Gao Yue's hands.

"Can't hesitate, I will personally attack the Tang people's cavalry!" Shang Jiezan was shocked. He knew very well that if he wanted to be trapped in Gou Touyuan, it would be a complete ending. The most urgent task was to break the sudden appearance of the Tang army cavalry and restore the connection between him and the former members of the Sun Qiu Valley.

After Shang Jiezan finished speaking, he led the prepared 1,500 cavalry to the northwest of Goutouyuan.

"Fanzi's reserve cavalry has moved, and our army can push forward with all our strength." Gao Gu captured this fighter plane and slashed the flag in his hand with all his strength.

The sound of horns and drums immediately shook the sky and the earth!

At the Baicao Army's army camp guarding the South Road of Gootou, Gao Yue heard the general attack signal and said to the military supervisor Ximen Can beside him, "Yue and General Cai led most of the troops to kill the enemy, and the military supervisor can stay here."

Ximen Can draws out his sword without saying a word, "What are Lian's words? Although I, Ximen Can, are disabled, I, are definitely not a person who is afraid of death. All the military envoys, follow me and kill Fanzi!"

Soon, the sharp voices of Ximen Can and other military envoys echoed on the southern road. The military officers, riding horses or mules, waving the swords in their hands, rushed even more brave and quicker than ordinary soldiers, which made Gao Yue have to let Cai Fengyuan follow Ximen Can and protect the military inspector's comprehensiveness.

"Swish swish swish swish", the tail feathers of countless crossbow arrows drew a striking trajectory in the twilight, shooting into the Western Fan warrior armor, some bent, and some stabbed into it - the Baicao Army's earth-group crossbowmen finally got the order to issue the crossbow, and continued to pull the crossbow teeth, and severely suppressed the firepower. The Baicao Army's infantry and jumping soldiers also ran bravely, and the tigers and dogs that were falling down the mountain rushed into Shang Jiezan's Chinese team.

The entire Goutouyuan, torches, shining like stars, illuminating the valleys of more than ten miles in a radius of bright light, and there were troops from both sides of the Tang and the Turkish side to fight everywhere.
