In the end, only 5,000 old, weak, women and children were escorted back to the main camp by the 3,000-strong camp, and the rest were all killed by the Tibetan cavalry. Then, these murderous Tibetan cavalry tried to take advantage of the opportunity when the 3,000-strong camp was left behind to charge into the Tang army camp in one go, but they were shot to death by the overwhelming rain of arrows, only to find that 700 to 800 of them were killed.
It was a rain of arrows that truly covered the sky and the sun. Even Dazha Lugong, who was far away from the battlefield, could see the arrows in the Tang army camp whistling across a distance of more than two hundred steps. The sky over the battlefield seemed to be suddenly covered with dark clouds.
The Tibetan generals had fought with the Tang army before, but they had never seen such a seemingly never-ending array of arrows. The more than 10,000 attacking cavalry were completely frightened by this terrible iron rain. The charging cavalry wanted to retreat, but when they turned around, the shadow of death was still falling on their heads.
There were seven or eight hundred corpses left in front of the Tang army camp, and more than two thousand people who were wounded by arrows or trampled by their own people.
Ten thousand cavalrymen rushed forward, and in the blink of an eye, nearly three thousand were killed or wounded. How could such a battle be fought?
