The enemy came and retreated quickly, until dawn, and the reinforcements from Khotanese arrived, and there was no clash again.

After the reinforcements arrived, Cui Xiyi sent people to track down the enemy, collect the scouts, and make proper arrangements, and immediately go to check the damage to the Wolf's Tooth Fort.

After many rounds of throwing and smashing, a layer of large stones was laid on the ground, some of which were intact, and some of which were broken into pieces of different sizes, which showed the fierceness of the enemy's offensive last night.

What surprised Ji Zhenghong was that there were so many big stones, many places were smashed into depressions, and many places were cracked, however, what was amazing was that none of the stones smashed through the wall, and all of them were blocked outside the wall.

The only casualties were inflicted by soldiers who threw stones on the top of the fort.

"This cement is amazing, it's almost up to the walls of the big city." Ji Zhenghong sighed.

The light trebuchet used by the other party has limited power, and it is no problem to deal with ordinary small cities, outposts, and fortresses, but for the city walls of important towns such as Khotan and Anxi, it is estimated that it is not enough to even catch the city walls, not to mention the city walls like Luoyang and Chang'an, which are as strong as gold, and those city walls are all made of stone, bricks and wood and rammed earth, and there is no need to think about it without a heavy trebuchet.

The Langya Fort is built with cement, and the effect is not as good as the walls of those large cities, but considering that this is just an ordinary outpost, the time and cost of construction are many times stronger than that of traditional rammed earth structures.

It's amazing.

Cui Xiyi was obviously very satisfied with the results, nodded and said: "This group of people came just in time, just to check the quality of this cement fort, and they must report to the imperial court to let the border defense of the Tang Dynasty rise to another level, no, it is a few steps." ”

Some people are happy and some are worried, Ji Zhenghong and Cui Xiyi expressed satisfaction with the results of last night's battle, and some people expressed great dissatisfaction with this, such as the thousand households of Tsering in Tubo, looking at the battle report in their hands with a gloomy face in a simple tent.

"Bastard" Tsering threw away the briefing in his hand, felt that the anger in his heart was hard to extinguish, and he slashed the ground with a knife, and cut off a corner of the long case: "I'm angry, more than 40 people died, more than 80 people were injured, and I also folded five precious stone-throwing carts, a small wolf's tooth fort, not to mention taking it, even the wall was not touched, which made me explain how to explain to Abba, and set off in front of my Abba with full confidence that this operation must remove the nail of the wolf's tooth fort." ”

A small leader named Bavo persuaded him: "Qianhu, the enemy is too tenacious this time, as long as you tell the general well, I believe the general will understand." ”

Bawo has some sympathy for Tsering, you must know that Tsering is a famous warrior in Tibet, but he has been living in the shadow of his Abba, the reason is very simple, because he is the great general of Tubo, known as the best general at present, and finally waited for the opportunity to carry the banner and prove himself.

Unexpectedly, the first operation failed.

Others only saw that Tsering had lost his troops before he even touched the Wolf's Tooth Fort, and even lost a few precious catapults, but Bawo knew Tsering's efforts before the war.

In addition to being familiar with the terrain, it is also necessary to be familiar with the scope of activities of Datang's scouts, how to clear those open posts and secret posts, and smuggle trebuchets and big stones to the vicinity in batches in advance.

It can only be said that at the moment before the assassination attack, everything was under the control of Tsering Qianhu, and the operation was successful.

I don't know why, I threw so many boulders, but I couldn't knock down a small wolf's tooth fort.

Tsering shook his head and said: "This operation, there were many people who opposed it, it was Abba's insistence, so it was done, 800 elites plus 12 trebuchets were dispatched, and even a small wolf's tooth fort was not taken. ”

Even now, Tsering still can't figure out why things are the way they are.

The original plan was to use trebuchets to knock down the wolf's tooth fort, and then take advantage of the chaos to take it, but I didn't expect the wolf's tooth fort to withstand the repeated bombardment of the trebuchet, and his trebuchet was smashed five times in the counterattack of the Tang army, and so many people were injured, it was simply a loss.

"Qianhu don't have to be discouraged" Someone in the crowd suddenly spoke: "I think Qianhu should be rewarded for this action." ”

Tsering turned his head to see that it was Baihu Paba, who was standing on the left, who spoke, and couldn't help but ask, "Paba, aren't you mocking Ben Qianhu by saying this?" ”

If you don't win the target and lose your troops, is there still merit?

If it weren't for Paba's well-known wisdom in the team, Tsering would have wanted to stretch out his feet and kick it.

Paba said with a straight face: "Last night in the trebuchet threw each other, our army suffered heavy injuries, morale was also low, the wolf's tooth fort experienced turns of bombardment can still stand, if you rush hard, the casualties must be very heavy, and there is no certainty of taking, but also beware of the reinforcements of the Tang army, thousands of households suffered a big loss, knowing that their reputation was damaged, they were not swayed by emotions, and resolutely retreated, this is a mature and most reasonable command, it is rare that there are ambushes left when retreating, but unfortunately the Tang army can not hold out, let the ambush fail. ”

After a pause, Paba continued to analyze: "The second point is also the reason why Qianhu should be rewarded, the Wolf's Tooth Fort is like a nail that hits the border of Tibet, it is not fast, it was attacked three months ago, and it was smashed to a thousand holes with only two trebuchets, but unfortunately the reinforcements came too quickly and fell short; However, after only three months, it was able to survive in the rotation of more than a dozen trebuchets, let alone knock it down, even if it was found to smash into the fort, if the fortress of the Tang Dynasty was like a wolf's tooth fort, it would be extremely unfavorable to our army. ”

Tsering said with deep sympathy: "Yes, Ben Qianhu is also wondering about this, and I thought that the more than ten trebuchets were broken." ”

Paba squinted his eyes and said: "I looked at it carefully just now, the material is not like a stone, nor is it like rammed earth, and I don't know what is used, this matter must be clarified, maybe the Tang Army has any mysterious weapons here, the Central Plains has a saying that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and it is better to suffer a small loss now than a big loss in the future." ”

And a mysterious weapon?

Speaking of this, Paba said very pertinently: "Actually, this operation was very successful, but there was an abnormality in the middle, and they all said that there must be a demon when something went wrong, as long as you find out where the demon is, maybe the credit is greater than taking a small wolf's tooth fort." ”

Tsering's eyes lit up, and then he patted Paba's shoulder and said, "Yes, yes, Paba, you are really a shrewd and wise man, well, you must find out what's strange about this wolf's tooth castle." ”

Having the opportunity to atone for his guilt and maintain his reputation and that of Abba, Tsering was overjoyed in his heart, and his fists couldn't help but clench tightly.

There are many places bordering the border between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty, and there are many disputed boundaries, that is, the military restraint of the two sides, such as grazing across the border, mutual plunder, and conflicts, I don't know how many incidents throughout the year.

It's just that it spreads out, and there isn't much splash among the people.

The two countries are not joking with each other, and there are many things that are clear to the mirror, and before the last moment, both sides have to try their best to whitewash the peace.

Just at the border, when the Tang Dynasty and Tubo were fighting openly and secretly, Zheng Peng, who was in Chang'an, was a little reluctant to take office on Youwan.
