Two days later, the Tubo people, who had already disarmed, saw a huge army that had appeared from behind them—Zuo Wuwei!

a row of thirty bed crossbows, a full five rows; The three thousand Mo swordsmen were dressed in thickened plate armor, armed like iron cans; The shield soldier's shield was iron, and he had to carry it behind his back to move, and by looking at the heavy steps, he knew that the weight of the thing must not be light.

Pikemen, longbowmen, crossbowmen, cavalrymen, and baggage soldiers marched in a row, and it took about a day for them all to appear in front of them.

Surprised, frightened, and amazed, the Tubo people, who lacked iron-making technology and iron ore, looked at the strange sword soldiers who were packed in iron cans, and the shield soldiers with heavy shields on their backs.

With such an army behind them, not to mention that they only have 40,000 people now, even if it is doubled, it is estimated that 80,000 people will be difficult to shake them.

I was really blinded by lard at the beginning, why did I think of coming to Datang to ask for wildfire? The Tang Dynasty, which has such a powerful army, can also be provoked by a hanging silk like Tubo that can't even produce leather armor?

If they saw the appearance of the left guard, and some of the Tubo people were lucky, thinking that it was possible to break through with extraordinary bravery and strength, the right leading guard who appeared in front of them the next day basically made them completely crazy.

With the same armor and the same equipment, except for the different logos of the equipment on the body, all the troops who were exactly the same on the right led the army arrived, and the number of the Tang army outside Songzhou City skyrocketed to 110,000.

Immediately afterwards, on the third day, the left leading guard arrived, still with the same equipment and armor, but the difference was that the number of people skyrocketed to 170,000 again.

Crazy, really crazy, the Tubo people went up to Songtsan Gampo to the soldiers who raised horses, except for watching the four armies of the Tang Dynasty in a daze, unable to say a word at all.

Why is he just claiming to be an army of 200,000, and he really sent an army of 200,000 for Mao Datang? Don't you know that all of them will shrink? The feeling of wanting to cry without tears filled Songtsen Gampo's mind, the sixteen guards of the Tang Dynasty, now only three guards, the number of people has reached 170,000, if so, if the sixteen guards are all ...... What would that look like?

Even if these people don't wear equipment and don't carry weapons, and they stand shirtless and let them kill, they will be exhausted, right?

In fact, Songtsen Gampo had already broken his courage at this time, if he really looked at it with his heart, he would find that a large part of the 170,000 people were servant troops, and they did not go into battle to fight, and the Sanwei men and horses could really fight only a little more than 70,000.

But it doesn't matter anymore, even if there are only 30,000 Sanwei people, Tubo can't beat it, so no matter how many people there are, it's the same for them, since they have decided to surrender, then it's okay to surrender completely, and it makes no sense to think about it.

"You are the lord of Tubo?" Hou Junji, as the chief manager of the Battle of Songzhou, is high above the main position in the big tent of the Chinese army, and the other Niu Jinda, Zhi Lost Sili, Liu Lan, and Xue Rengui are on both sides, as for the deputy generals...... There are too many people, and it is not their turn to enter the Chinese military tent at all.

"Xiao Wang exactly." Songtsen Gampo sat in the middle of everyone like a prisoner.

Although he wanted to say that in Tubo he should be called Zampu not the lord of the country, but looking at the people around him, all of them with murderous faces, he still chose 'the guest changes with the master'.

"Are you going to Chang'an to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty?" He is a person who has married a princess of the Tang Dynasty, but he is married to Li Er's half-sister and Li Yuan's daughter.

"Xiao Wang doesn't dare, he doesn't dare!" Songtsen Gampo shook his head and hurriedly denied it. The so-called heroes don't suffer immediate losses, and there is no one around them, if one of these five guys is not satisfied, and beating himself is not in vain.

"Cowardice!" Hou Junji looked at this young man who was about the same age as Li Chengqian, and suddenly lost the interest in asking, shook his head and scolded and said: "According to what His Highness said, escort Chang'an, the army will rest for three days, and then set off to return to Chang'an after three days, as for Rengui, you can do it yourself, when you came out, Your Majesty only said that you would cooperate, but did not let someone arrange your task, so you decide to stop by yourself." ”

"Whoa!" The congregation will rise and salute in return.

After resting for three days, he picked 5,000 relatively strong Tibetan captives, together with a group of Tubo nobles, and took Songtsan Gampo with Songtsan Gampo, and set off to return to Chang'an.

Xue Rengui, on the other hand, set up camp and guarded the remaining 35,000 people, doing nothing every day, and finally simply brought out those captives, and was responsible for repairing the road every day, widening and leveling the mountain road leading to Jishi Mountain.

Li Chengqian received the news as early as the day of the end of the battle, Cui Yu brand carrier pigeons are so reliable at any time and place, as long as it happens in the Tang area, he will report it in writing to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as soon as possible.

"Brother, why are you so happy? You haven't invited me to dinner in years, and I've always invited you. In the welcome building, Li Kehu looked at Li Chengqian suspiciously, very puzzled by his abnormal behavior.

"It's nothing, I'm just happy, by the way, how is your business in Songzhou?" Li Chengqian smiled a little awkwardly and casually changed the topic.

"It's broken, brother, it's not like you don't know, the war is tense in Songzhou, not to mention business, and now even birds don't like to fly there." Li Ke sighed and said with some exaggeration.

"Hmm. That's what I'm telling you today. Li Chengqian smiled, fiddled with the teacup in his hand, and said lightly.

"The Tibetans have withdrawn?" Li Ke's reaction was unexpectedly fast, and as soon as Li Chengqian's words fell, he asked excitedly.

"Let's not talk about whether to retreat or not, what do you think of building a farm on the plateau? Specializing in raising cattle, horses, etc. Li Chengqian waved his hand and motioned to Li Ke not to ask about military matters.

"That's a good dare, brother, you don't know, if we can build a ranch by ourselves, it will save a lot of money, now those Tubo fans have learned badly one by one, the price of cattle is getting higher and higher, and if it goes on like this, I will lose to death." Li Ke nodded understandingly, not mentioning military matters, but chatting about his business.

The dishes have already come up, Li Chengqian, as the host, will naturally not be polite, the first to stretch out the chopsticks to his favorite dish, and at the same time said: "Then you prepare manpower, it won't be long before the matter in Songzhou will be solved, and you can be the first to pick the pastures on the plateau, and tell me if you pick them out." ”
