Chapter 1099: The Heart of the Decisive Battle

In Songzhou City, Li Chengzong's face was solemn, and in front of him, a small banner of Jinyi Wei looked panicked, and the information that he risked his life was that Songtsen Gampo led an army of 200,000 to Songzhou.

"Your Highness, the Tubo army is storming the Sichuan Temple." At this time, a soldier outside ran in a panic, and there was a very bad news, Songtsen Gampo led the army to not even have time to rest, and began to lead the army to attack the Sichuan Temple, from getting the news to the present, but an hour of time, Songtsen Gampo began to lead the army to fight, clearly to force the attack.

"How's the situation with General Zhang?" Li Chengzong hurriedly asked. In this case, Songtsen Gampo launched an attack on the Sichuan Temple, and Li Chengzong was most worried that the soldiers on the front line of the Sichuan Temple were caught off guard and attacked by the Tubo army, suffering heavy casualties.

"Your Highness, rest assured, General Zhang is a general, although the Tubo army suddenly attacked, I believe that General Zhang will definitely be able to resist the enemy's attack." Fang Xuanling hurriedly said.

"General Zhang was commanding the army to resist the attack of the Tibetan army, but when the villain came, he found that the enemy was going crazy, and he didn't want to die at all. The casualties among the soldiers were relatively large. The soldier said quickly.

"It seems that Songtsen Gampo is forcing us to fight a decisive battle, he needs to quickly break through the defense line of the Sichuan Temple, so as to attack Songzhou, the city of Songzhou is dilapidated, and it was burned by Shang Nang once, if he really captures the Sichuan Temple, I am afraid that Songzhou will not be able to defend." Cen Wenwen thought for a while and said: "I'm afraid this is the main purpose of Songtsen Gampo, and the minister thinks that His Highness should be more careful." ”

"If you are afraid of death, you are not the son of the Tang Emperor, where can we retreat? The soldiers in front of us are fighting bloodily, how can we retreat? Li Chengzong stood up and said, "Spread the news to Jingshi, we are dealing with Songtsen Gampo here, isn't he very powerful and arrogant?" This king wants to let him see the strength of my Tang army, and the prince of the Tang Dynasty is not easy to bully. ”

"Your Highness, count as a minister." Fang Xuanling's heart was boiling by what he said, and he also stood up and said loudly: "I heard that Songtsan Gampo has some ability, but I don't know what kind of character it is, whether it is really a British lord, and the minister also wants to meet this character for a while." ”

"Then let's go together." Cen Wenwen said with a smile: "Most of the ministers in the court are called weak scholars and humble gentlemen, but Your Majesty once said that any minister also needs to have a strong body, and it is not good for the minister to go back to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but he still has the ability to lead the horse, and the minister will lead the horse for His Royal Highness." ”

"Let the dignified Wude Hall scholar lead the horse, if you let your father know, I'm afraid the kid will be beaten, go, Qin Huaiyu, rectify the army, go to the Sichuan Temple, go to this Tubo Zampu for a while, I really don't know who gave him the courage to attack my Central Plains?" Li Chengzong laughed, tightened his armor at the moment, took a sword from the side, hung it on his waist, and took a lance on the weapon rack, and said: "It's a pity that my strength is not enough, otherwise I would have taken my father's Fang Tian painting halberd." ”

"With this long lance, Songtsen Gampo, who can also fight, fled in embarrassment." Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Songtsen Gampo led the army to kill, and after arriving at the front line, he didn't even rest, so he led the army to attack the Sichuan Temple, according to reason, such an attack will definitely have an impact on the Tang Dynasty, but unfortunately, he met Zhang Zhenzhou, a guy who is good at defense, but unfortunately, when the Tubo army has not yet arrived, the Tang Dynasty army Jinyiwei has discovered the opponent's army and notified Zhang Zhenzhou in advance, although there is not much time apart, but the front line of the Sichuan Temple with excellent defense, Zhang Zhenzhou, the old general, still prepared in advance, so that the sudden attack of the Tubo army did not have any effect.

When Li Chengzong led the army to come, he saw that the front line of the Sichuan Temple shouted and killed, and the corpses were already densely covered in front of the Tang camp, there were Tang troops and Tibetan troops, and those Tubo troops seemed to be dying, and launched a crazy attack on the camp of the Sichuan Temple.

"Your Highness." Zhang Zhenzhou led several soldiers to meet Li Chengzong.

"Old general, are you injured?" Li Chengzong saw that Zhang Zhenzhou's arm was bandaged with gauze, and blood was flowing out, jumped off the horse, and said a little nervously.

"It's just a stray arrow, it's not a big deal." Zhang Zhenzhou saw that Li Chengzong did not ask about the situation on the battlefield, but first asked about his injuries, and his heart was moved, and said: "Those Tubo cubs are really delusional, and they still want to sneak attack us, and they don't want to think about it, our elite army of the Tang Dynasty is not vegetarian, and they also want to sneak attack us with their ability, it's really a joke." The minister saw that although the Tibetan Zampu was very famous, in fact, it was nothing more than that, and he didn't know how to march and fight at all. ”

"Old general, that's because we killed Shang Nang, he is a general under Songtsen Gampo, for his own rule, he has to come to teach us a lesson, lest someone in Tubo attack him, tsk, 200,000 troops, is this going to a decisive battle with my Tang Dynasty?" Fang Xuanling said with a smile on the side.

"If it is a decisive battle, we do not have much time, there are too few generals in our hands, and the army has not yet been fully concentrated, at least in April and May, there are still two months to go." Cen Wenwen thought for a while and said: "There is some money and grain in the treasury, and it is absolutely no problem to support it for two months, and then the autumn harvest and the old grain are added, and there is absolutely no problem in counterattacking Tibet." If that is the case, I am afraid that Your Majesty will have to use war preparation food and grass, and there will be no major war in the next five years. ”

"Five years is enough, and now the enemies around me have been almost wiped out by my father, and I won't fight in five years, so that I can recuperate, and I can recuperate better, and the people of the world can live a good life, I believe my father thinks the same way." Li Chengzong said happily: "So, if my father can't really lead the army to come, he will come for a while, and he will be this rampant Songtsan Gampo for a while." ”

Li Chengzong's words made the faces of the people around him stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, there is really such a possibility, right now around the Tang Dynasty, there is only one big enemy in Tubo, what Li Xin lacks now is not the army, but the general, in the two camps of Lantian and Bashang, there are still a lot of troops, and these armies are waiting to follow the king to the expedition. According to Li Xin's character, it is really possible to lead a large army to come.

"It's just a decisive battle, do you think that my father will be afraid of a little Tibetan?" Li Chengzong said disdainfully.

Everyone was silent for a while, I can't figure out that Li Xin will really lead the army in person, Li Xin is different from other emperors, he never does things according to the rules, he does whatever he wants, with great strength, he is rampant, but he also let him do it, I have to say, this is a shocking place.
