970 men and war
Morale declines, the fight has been lost, and if you don't go, the consequences are unimaginable, the battlefield is changing rapidly, the book of war and tactics are dead, and people are alive, the more critical moments, the more you test the wisdom of the commander, seeing that the situation has been beyond their control, Hou Junji decisively ordered a retreat.
When the interruption continues, it is chaotic.
As soon as they heard the retreat, the soldiers holding the firearms put away their firearms with relief, and the shieldmen on both sides skillfully wrapped them in and covered their retreat, attacking in an orderly manner, retreating in a measured manner, advancing and retreating freely, and the well-trained training of the Tang army was fully displayed at this moment.
"Kill, Lord Zampu has an order, kill one person and reward ten taels of silver, kill one fire and reward twenty taels of silver, the higher the level, the more reward, the warriors of Tibet, let Tang Gou see how powerful we are, kill me." QIONGBO. Bonse swung his scimitar frantically on his horse, roaring like thunder.
Datang's troops have begun to retreat, and the camp has begun to show a little confusion and gaps. Bangse naturally would not let go, while saying he rode his horse hard, no longer following behind those slaves, and quickly rushed to the front, taking advantage of the chaos in the Tang army camp, began to chase and kill, those Tubo soldiers saw their main generals taking the lead, so brave, one by one red eyes, roaring heaven and earth rushed up.
Recently, he was beaten by the Tang Army and lost his temper, no blood, and before he rushed to the Tang Army, he was killed and injured by the continuous firecrackers, and he couldn't get close at all, he was pressed and beaten all the time, and his stomach was already holding his stomach.
There was a trace of inexplicable excitement in the eyes of Songtsen Gampo, who was standing on the city wall to supervise the battle, and he ordered loudly: "Come on, attack me." Chase, snatch back a firecracker, and reward 100 silver. ”
The opportunity finally came, and Songtsen Gampo, who grew up on the battlefield, would not let go of this rare opportunity, as soon as he saw the Tang army retreating and the camp was in chaos, he immediately ordered the army in the city to join the attack, and he could covet the Tang army's firecracker, and he dreamed of owning it, and now if someone exchanged a firearm for a concubine for him. Songtsen Gampo did not hesitate to change.
There is a rule in his beliefs: to achieve the end, the means will be unscrupulous.
"Kill"
"Kill all these Tang dogs."
"It's finally time to take revenge and kill them all."
The Tibetan soldiers rushed out one by one like wolves, and the sound of killing shook the world to chase after the Tang army that was forced to retreat.
Finished
Liu Yuan put down his clairvoyant eyes, and he couldn't bear to look at it. One side gains the momentum, the other loses the momentum. Go without saying. The Tang Army is going to suffer a big loss this time, these things have gone beyond the war, and they cannot be solved simply by force, and the Tang Dynasty is not short of famous generals, on the contrary. Some are famous generals, if they are ordinary generals, Songtsen Gampo will not use this trick well, and the main generals present. All of them are successful generals, and all of them cherish their feathers and dare not gamble with their future and fame.
Songtsen Gampo suddenly grasped the most fatal weakness of the Tang army.
Seeing the retreat of the Tang army, the mood of the Hou army on the side was the most complicated, because this battle, whether it was advancing or retreating, Hou Junji needed to be responsible, if he advanced, he would bear the infamy, and he might not be able to deserve it, if he retreated, the loss was inevitable, and he would be accused of poor command, it can be said that this one, Hou Junji was pitted by Songtsan Ganbu, and the pit was not light, seeing that the Tang army chose to retreat at the last moment, Hou Jun was secretly relieved if he lost something.
Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and besides, it is not that he is ineffective, this time he is defeated, and the next time he wins, he can make up for it, if he is infamous as a "butcher", it will be stinking for 10,000 years.
"General, we, should we go and help them?" Hou Jun suddenly whispered.
Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "Help? How can it help? Hundreds of thousands of troops, what can we do? I can't save it then, and I even put myself in it. ”
Zhao Fu on the side said worriedly: "General, Songtsen Gampo has been using such a ruthless trick, what should we do?" Was the Tang Army suppressed like this? ”
"Yes," Guan Yong frowned and said, "If that's the case, then wouldn't everything we did before be in vain?" ”
"No" Liu Yuan looked at the back of the Tang army's retreat, and said lightly: "The battlefield is changing rapidly, Songtsen Gampo just caught the Tang army off guard, and there is no such thing as a trick on the battlefield, and when the Tang army stabilizes the morale of the army and someone is willing to stand up, then Songtsen Gampo's move will have no effect." ”
When everyone heard this, they nodded secretly, Liu Yuan now had no intention of looking at the picture of Datang being chased and killed, turned his horse's head, and said lightly: "Okay, there's nothing to see, let's go." ”
"General, where are we going?" Yu Chi Baoqing asked with some curiosity.
"Go Hunting"
Yu Chi Baoqing said with some surprise: "General, it's this time, are you still in the mood to hunt?" ”
Liu Yuan kicked the horse's butt hard while riding the horse, and said angrily: "Is General Ben the kind of person who gloats?" Will you hunt in Tibet, do you understand? Ben Jiang is in a bad mood now, you go hunt the scout team of Tubo, by the way, near that kind of secret stronghold, there is a Shaoming Gang secret outpost, you go and remove it, so as not to be inconvenient when you get it, when you go, only wear our Datang armor, don't arouse their vigilance. ”
"Yes, General."
In the city, many people and soldiers had a long-lost smile on their faces, and each individual was a little more angry, because their army finally won a long-awaited victory, this news, like a glimmer of bright sunshine in the haze, made people see hope, the soldiers and civilians of Tibet were very happy, and the Songtsen Gampo in the palace was also happy, holding a strange thing, carefully studying it in the firelight.
It is Datang's secret weapon: the fire gun.
Songtsen Gampo touched this fire hammer that was neither a gun nor a stick, could not be picked or pierced, as if he was touching a stunning woman of twenty-eight years old, this was the artifact he had always dreamed of, and now he could finally play with it in his hand, although he didn't know how to operate it, but it was enough to make him excited.
After a long time, Songtsen Gampo gently put the fire gun on the table, turned his head and said happily: "Okay, good, the Qiongbo clan really has many generals, as soon as General Bangse came out, he beat the Tang army to the ground, more than 200,000 Tang troops were chased by the general for more than 60 miles, and the Tang army was killed all over the field, and so many artifacts were captured, it is really the blessed general of Benzanpu, hahaha"
A battle outside the city, Joanbo. Bangse can be said to be extremely brilliant, leading the troops to chase and kill the temporarily retreating Tang army, chasing more than 60 miles, chasing the Tang army to build the second line of defense in advance, seeing that the Tang army was fully prepared, and the weather was going to be late, then Ming Jin withdrew the troops, but this did not prevent him from achieving a good record: killed more than 3,000 enemies, captured more than 500 people, captured a batch of strategic materials, and most importantly, got a dozen Tang guns that Songtsen Gampo dreamed of.
This battle alone is enough to go down in the annals of Tibet.
Hearing Songtsen Gampo's praise, Jongpo. Bangse said very knowingly: "Don't dare, these are all the credit of Lord Zampu, without Lord Zampu's clever plan, it is estimated that we are still trapped in the Tang Dynasty's fire force array and can't rush out." ”
"Hehe, without the general's courage to kill the enemy, he would not have achieved such a good result, Ben Zampu announced, Joanbo. General Bangse fought well, played the majesty of the Tubo soldiers, played the morale of the Tubo warriors, and captured so many firearms, and now you are promoted to the general of Zuoru, and the reward is 10,000 taels of gold and ten beauties. ”
General Zuoru?
This is a very high official position, the most powerful and most relied on in Tubo, naturally is the general of Zhongru, since the death of Shang Xiang, it is on the control of Qinling, although he was injured, but his status, Tubo is still no one can shake, a chase, you get a position second only to the general of Zhongru, Qiongbo. Bangse was also very satisfied.
QIONGBO. Bangse hurriedly saluted: "Master Xie Zampu, Qiongbo. Bangse will definitely live up to Zampu's expectations in the future, and is willing to work for Zampu's dogs and horses. ”
Songtsen Gampo personally lifted him up and put Qiongbo. Bang Sera sat beside him and said with a smile: "Okay, we two monarchs and ministers, let's have two drinks tonight, congratulations to the general for continuing to contribute to my Tubo and expel the Tang army, it is best that they all die on the plateau, and nourish our grassland with their flesh and blood." ”
Songtsen Gambra sat beside him, Joanpo. Bangse felt flattered for a while, and said excitedly when he heard this: "Yes, Lord Zampu, Qiongbo. Bangse was originally the enemy of everything that Lord Zampu had leveled. ”
"Come, let's eat this bowl of wine."
"Lord Zampu, please."
"Hahaha, good amount of wine, come on, pour wine"
Some people are happy and some are sad, and the city is full of joy and celebrates the victory, but in the Tang army camp, which is more than 60 miles away from the city, there is a cloud of sadness.
In the handsome tent, Hou Junji held the latest list of losses, his face was pale, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
3,286 killed, 4,762 wounded, 786 missing or captured, three shield-bearer squads killed, and the Modao team responsible for blocking the attack suffered heavy casualties.
Since the Tang Dynasty entered the Tibetan Plateau, it is the first time that it has suffered such a big loss, can Hou Junji not be angry?
Old Demon King Cheng gritted his teeth and said: "Songtsan Gampo has done the first year of junior high school, and we can also do fifteen, so let's do it, we will also catch the people of Tubo and rush to the front, see if they attack or not." ”
"No," Li Jing frowned and said, "Songtsen Gampo can not care, can we not care?" Speaking of the fact that when people are killed in battle, others can also say that we let the Tibetans slaughter our people. ”
"The Tubo people, all the people are soldiers, let the Tubo soldiers go to kill the suffering people of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid, I am afraid of being handled." Qin Qiong also said with a hesitant expression. (To be continued......)
