Chapter 100: The Whimsy of Songtsen Gampo

Andonaji looked at the tribal leaders of the anti-Songtsen Gampo alliance and said: "Let's try, if we can fight, we will fight, if we can't fight, we will run, anyway, there is General Chen behind us, I don't believe that Songtsen Gampo can win against General Chen, don't forget that General Chen can invite the gods and Buddhas in the sky!" ”

Hearing this, the tribal leaders of the anti-Songtsen Gampo alliance stopped arguing.

As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food.

After repaying the sweetness of the plunder, these leaders of the Songtsen Gampo tribe were like drinking addictive poison, and they could not suppress the greed in their hearts at all.

The tribal leaders of the anti-Songtsen Gampo alliance divided the tribes outside the alliance into several areas, and then took the method of drawing lots to get their own hunting grounds.

These tribal leaders of the anti-Songtsen Gampo alliance took their former robes as prey, just like they usually hunted.

Of course, this is normal for nomads. Not to mention their robes, even if they are their own parents, when there is not enough food to eat in the years of famine, they will abandon their parents. Not to mention the more distant clansmen.

Songtsen Gampo knew nothing about what happened to the city of Songbang Fort, including what happened to the nearby tribes.

Half a month of rain finally stopped, for this annoying rain. Songtsen Gampo was very depressed, because the rain soaked the bowstring, and the riding bow in the hands of the Tibetan soldiers had no way to use it.

The long-lost sun penetrated the clouds, and the Kangyanju City in the distance was like a xiaolongbao that had just come out of the cage, which was very cute.

However, Songtsen Gampo did not love this city at all, which caused him to lose nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Songtsen Gampo vaguely felt bad, and he decided to end this boring fishing game.

Songtsen Gampo ordered: "The whole army will attack and set foot in the city of Kangyanju!" ”

With the order of Songtsen Gampo was issued, hundreds of thousands of Tibetan troops began to rush towards the city of Kangyanju.

Kangyanju City, which is like a xiaolongbao, does not have a wide line of sight. About 300 paces away, it was almost white.

Although it was impossible to see the formation of the Tibetan army in the distance, the neighing of the war horses and the roar of the Tibetan people resounded in the sky.

Over time, the fog begins to dissipate slowly. An endless turbid wave quickly overflowed the horizon and surged towards the side of Kangyanju City.

The mode of war horse siege can not be replicated, the Tubo people are within a distance of miles, and begin to jump off the war horse, and then form a step formation, tens of thousands of infantry form a phalanx to march together, giving people the feeling that it is spectacular, it is a moving jungle.

That kind of yellow costume, that yellow torrent, gives people the feeling that the Yellow River has burst its banks and the flood is pouring over!

Although Xunxiang is a stupid and bold person, when he saw this scene, he still gasped and said in a lost voice: "I'm obedient, are they all crazy?" It's coming this way! ”

Liu Tong sighed and said: "Their losses in that battle were not small, they were all red-eyed, and it was not surprising to pull so many people over." ”

Although Kang Yanju City did not leave any loopholes, Liu Tong still had no bottom in his heart, after all, they and the remnants of the Subi Kingdom combined were less than 6,000 people.

The ratio of troops to strength is close to thirty to one, how can this be played!

Behind the deer, the soldiers of the Beiwei army had already baked their fire-baked bows and crossbows, and if they were to be slashed and killed in the wild, they would not be able to cut down thirty times more enemy troops than them in any case, and they would be overwhelmed by the enemy with just one charge.

Fortunately, siege is not the strong point of the Tibetans.

Finally, all the mist dissipated, and Tubo's terrifying lineup appeared clearly in front of the defenders.

At the forefront were the heavy armor of the Tibetans. Although the Tibetans are heavily armoured, they are the elite of the Tubo elite, only showing their eyes, and their combat effectiveness is amazing.

Liu Tong is not Chen Ying, he doesn't know that in history, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty's national strength was extremely chaotic, and the eight years of chaos exhausted the vitality of the Tang Dynasty. Under these circumstances, the Tibetans launched a large-scale invasion of the Tang Dynasty. In the fourth year of Jianzhong (783 AD), Zhang Yi and the shogunate Qi Ying, Qi Kang, Hongluqing Cui Hanheng, Yu Di, Fan Ze, and Chang Lu, the judge of the Tibetan envoy, were in Qingshui County, and the Tubo minister Shang praised and the general discussed the cheek Tibet, Zang Re, Lituo, and Xu Huimeng, and determined the border between the two countries: "Tang Dijing Prefecture right end Zheng Gorge, Longzhou right pole Qingshui, Fengzhou west end with the valley, Jiannan end to the west of the mountain, Dadu water. Tubo guards the towns of Lan, Wei, Yuan, and Hui, and Lintao in the west, Chengzhou in the east, and reaches the southwest of the south and west of the sword to grind some barbarians and Dadu water. As far as the north of the river from the Xinquan army arrived at the moraine, the Antarctic Helan Luitling, during which it was idle fields. The land abandoned by the two kingdoms shall not increase troops, nor build castles, nor cultivate the frontier fields.

The most fundamental reason is that the Tang Dynasty has lost the Modao Army, which counterbalanced the heavy armor of Tubo, and the Modao Army has been completely lost in the Anshi Rebellion.

At this time, the Tubo heavy armor soldiers at the front of the line, holding a spear more than two zhang long (about four meters and five), only two eye sockets were left on the whole body, and a cold and lightning gaze burst out from it, which made people daunting.

Since the siege of Kangyanju, these elite Tubo heavy armor soldiers have been hidden by Songtsen Gampo Xue, and now Songtsen Gampo has released this fierce beast, and it is really quite scary to swing it out like this.

What surprised Liu Tong the most was that there were actually not many of these heavy armored cavalry, and of course not many were relatively speaking.

The heavy cavalry charge is quite demanding on the terrain and weather, and they must be on a flat and open, dry and hard ground in order for them to fully exert their power, and they can't run in a place like this back.

"It seems that the Tubo people are in a hurry!" Xunxiang's panic was only for a moment, and he immediately said heartlessly: "Even the capital at the bottom of the box has been taken out!" ”

Liu Tong sighed, they have almost exhausted the fierce fire and oil bombs in the defense of the city, and there are less than 100,000 bows and arrows, even if the arrows are sufficient, it is useless, because the heavy armor soldiers of the Tubo people can ignore the standard bows and crossbows of the Tang army, unless it is a heavy armor-piercing cone, but the armor-piercing cone arrows are too heavy, and the armor-piercing cone is only half of the ordinary three-edged arrow under the same weight.

What made Liu Tong a little more comfortable was that, in addition to the heavy armor soldiers of Tibet, the tribal soldiers of Tubo were the same as the Turkic commanders, wearing leather robes sewn from sheepskin or even rat skin, holding short-handled iron hammers made of inferior iron, and many of the arrows in the quiver were made of flint or even animal bones.

These small tribes had a very difficult time surviving, and often several of them disappeared from the steppe after a heavy snowstorm, so they were ten times more eager for war than the tribes. Despite their hard work for a year, the rewards were far from enough to keep them safe for a long winter, and if they didn't get enough food and goods, they would starve to death at least a third of them! They stared at Kangyanju City with wolf-like eyes, clenching the horned bow in their hands, hoping that Songtsen Gampo would quickly order an attack, so that they could rush up to fight and rob.

Why are nomads so tough and resilient? It's not because of how good their genes are, they are all forced out by the acquired environment. The more fierce the tribe, the worse their living conditions.

Xun Xiang looked at the Tubo heavy armor soldiers in a majestic array a stone's throw away with some regret and smiled: "What if we had more fuel bombs?" Tens of thousands of fuel bombs smashed over, and they all turned into roast pigs! ”

Liu Tong pursed his lips, licked his chapped lips with his tongue, and said weakly: "Life is unsatisfactory eight or nine times out of ten, if there is a fuel bomb, we use the way of playing with fuel bombs, and if there is no fuel bombs, we will use the way of playing without fuel bombs!" ”

However, what surprised Liu Tong the most was that the Tibetan army did not launch an offensive for a long time.

Seeing that the sun was turning westward, the Tibetans still showed no signs of attacking.

Liu Tong waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about it for now, eat in batches, eat and drink enough, and then fuck it!" ”

……

On the other side, in the big tent of the Tibetan Chinese army on the hill, Songtsen Gampo was preparing to give the order to attack.

Suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps, "Zampu, it's not good! Oh no! ”

Songtsen Gampo raised his head and saw that it was the imperial minister who was over fifty years old and hurriedly walked in, sweating profusely, he smiled and pressed his hand and said, "What is the fuss, come, sit down first, and speak slowly." ”

Tunmi Aru seemed to be rushing in, and as soon as he stood still and spoke, he was gasping, he pointed to the southwest direction, and said intermittently: "Dear Zampu, Song...... Ropinburg ...... By...... Breached! ”

"What?" Songtsen Gampu stood up with a thud and said in disbelief: "Songbang Fort is broken? When did it happen? ”

Tunmi Aru wiped his breath, although he was still a little panting, but he spoke fluently, he said, "What happened half a month ago. ”

Songtsen Gampo was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Half a month ago? Unlikely, right? Songbang Fort is such a strong city, even if an army of 100,000 people may not be able to attack it in a year and a half, how can Songbang Fort, which we left a month ago, be attacked in half a month? ”

Tunmi Aru said with a wry smile on his face: "It is indeed half a month ago, it is said that the enemy army seems to be from the Tang Dynasty, and the demon method used does not know what kind of demon method is used, and it can actually descend from the sky, and it can burst through the city tower in a short instant, and then drive straight in, killing the soldiers who defend the city of Songbang Fort without leaving a piece of armor, and it is even more self-defeating ......."

Hearing this, Songtsen Gampo's head buzzed and lost the ability to think, he felt that the sky was spinning, and in just an instant, he blasted through the city tower, and then drove straight into the city to kill the soldiers who defended the city of Songbang Fort without leaving a piece of armor?

"Shhh Yu Wenhua was horrified in his heart, and secretly said in his heart: "What a terrifying power this is? ”

Yu Wenhua asked himself, even if he was given a million troops, would he be able to break through an incomparably strong city like Songbang Fort in an hour?

No!

Not only him, Yu Wenhua believes that even if hundreds of thousands of government soldiers in the Tang Dynasty are dispatched, it will be impossible to do it.

Just when Yu Wenhua wanted to shout and reprimand Swallow Mi Aru, a figure suddenly flashed in his head.

This figure is none other than Chen Ying.

The miracle created by Chen Ying is still unsurpassed, and the world-famous steep pass Yanmen Pass, Chen Ying took a day and a night to recapture it from Liu Wuzhou. And Wang Xuanying defended Hangu Pass, Chen Ying took an hour.

Although it was said that Songbang Fort only took a moment, it seemed absurd, and what others couldn't do, Chen Ying should be able to do.

Yu Wenhua tried to ask, "The person who besieged the city is Chen ...... Chen Ying? ”

Tunmi Aru hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Your Majesty vaguely remembers that the enemy shouted General Chen!" ”

Yu Wenhua's face sank, and said: "That's right, it seems that Chen Ying went to Songbang Fort!" ”

As soon as he heard this, the last trace of luck in Songtsen Gampo's heart was broken, and he panicked in his heart, and sat down on his chair with his ass, muttering to himself: "How is this good? How is it good? ”

Looking at Songtsen Gampo's performance, Yu Wenhua knew that this child was frightened, and he hurriedly said: "According to the information I got, the enemy army doesn't seem to be so terrifying. ”

"Oh? What's the news? Songtsen Gampo's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "How to defeat him?" ”

Yu Wenhua and muttered: "Chen Ying is good at using cavalry, according to intelligence, he led more than 10,000 cavalry into the snow field this time, and most of their soldiers and horses were pinned down to fifty miles away, Chen Ying's soldiers and horses should not be many, even if it is a pile of human lives, he can be killed!" ”

Songtsen Gampo calculated in his heart, it is not easy for them to get to the Tubo Dynasty today, seeing that the future will usher in the dawn of unification of the snow plateau, at this time, it is absolutely impossible to fail, once Chen Ying is allowed to gain a firm foothold in Songbang Fort City, the Tubo Dynasty is afraid to perish, and he will be the same as Jieli Khan, he will become the king of the dead country, and Chen Ying will be caught in Chang'an City and dance to Li Jiancheng.

Instead of fighting, it is better than becoming Li Jiancheng's pet no matter what.

Just when Songtsen Gampo was thinking about it, Yu Wenhua suddenly said: "According to the minister's understanding of Chen Ying'er, he will definitely take a series of plans, and now he is luring His Majesty to come to the rescue of Songbang Fort City, and he will definitely arrange an ambush on our way!" ”

"What's the plan of the national teacher?" Songtsen Gampo asked nervously.

Yu Wenhua said: "Zampu, we can plan the plan, pretend not to understand Chen Yingxiaoer's poisonous plan, pretend to be in the other party's strategy and send it to the door, in fact, ambush it, let the enemy take the initiative to find the door, and catch turtles in an urn on the way, isn't it beautiful?" ”

When Ru Daren and Tumi Alang and other Tibetan officials heard this, they reacted instantly.

Ru Daren said: "That's right, I didn't grasp the enemy's marching route at the beginning, and I couldn't ambush him, but now the enemy has sent it to the door by himself, isn't it a good time to hit the other party by surprise?" ”

"The national teacher is wise, and the king is wise!" Tunmi Aru gave a thumbs up and said, "This trick is clever, we pretend not to know that Songbang Fort has been breached, and then we will deceive the enemy army, and ambush thousands of archers or heavy armored cavalry on the way, and then use fire, water and even flowing stones, which can completely wipe out the enemy army, haha." ”

Songtsen Gampo looked very excited and said: "National Teacher, if you can really destroy the enemy army and recover Songbang Fort City, it will be a great achievement, and Benzanpu is willing to canonize the National Teacher as a great treatise!" ”
