Songzhou City, Shang Nang's face was gloomy, he didn't expect that the place he occupied at the beginning, but now it has become his own predicament, he looked at a temple not far away, there is called the Sichuan Temple, located in the southwest corner of Songzhou, there are two peaks, after the Sichuan Temple, it is the territory of Tubo, on the side of the Sichuan Temple, it is the Tang Dynasty, and now the Sichuan Temple has been occupied, and it is tens of thousands of troops.

The leading general of the Tang army on the opposite side was obviously a person who was good at defense, and the large battalion that he had set up almost made Shang Nang feel a headache, dense, and there were almost no loopholes at all, so that he didn't know how to start. If he is just a person who is good at attacking, Shang Nang is not worried, but he is a defensive person, and such a person makes him anxious and does not know how to quickly solve the enemy in front of him.

"General, shouldn't Lord Lu Dongzan lead a large army to support?" The adjutant general looked at Shang Nang and said with some concern.

"Don't worry, I'm afraid Lu Dongzan already knows the news that we are trapped in Songzhou at this time, and he will definitely come to save us." Shang Nang said with relief. In fact, he had already sent personnel to find the loopholes in the Tang Army and seek support from Lu Dongzan. What I have to do now is to persevere, but how long can I hold on! He headed north, Li Chengzong's kid's army had come, but it didn't get close, his thousands of soldiers and horses were just cruising around Songzhou, guarding themselves, the real camp was still in Gansongling, this guy could see it, and he was also a cautious guy.

"At this time, we regret a little that we should have left some Tang people in the first place and let them help us build the city wall at this time." Shang Nang said with a slight regret: "Actually, what we have to deal with is Li Chengzong, Li Chengzong has very few soldiers and horses in his hands, and it is naturally easy to win against his general, but this is Datang, and Datang's soldiers and horses will soon come in a steady stream." ”

Shang Nang already knew Li Chengzong's plan, but there was no way, he had already noticed himself this time, and suddenly killed, although he captured Songzhou again, but in fact, a strategic mistake had occurred. Now he can only passively attack Zhang Zhenzhou's soldiers and horses. echoes Lu Dongzan, but is Li Chengzong behind him willing?

The answer is no, and when he heard the shouting of killing in the distance from the Sichuan Temple, he knew that Lu Dongzan must have known that he had fallen into the enemy's calculations, and hurriedly divided 10,000 troops to defend against Li Chengzong's attack, and then led the army to storm Zhang Zhenzhou.

It's a pity that his calculation was wrong, and the soldiers and horses defending Li Chengzong in Songzhou City soon came to ask for help, and he knew that he was not facing thousands of cavalry at all, but an army of tens of thousands of people, and the army in Mianzhou had already been with Li Chengzong, and more than 60,000 elite soldiers were fighting against the 10,000 Tubo soldiers, and they were definitely not the opponents of the other party.

Shang Nang had no choice but to give up the attack on Zhang Zhenzhou, and instead came to deal with Li Chengzong's 60,000 army.

"Your Royal Highness, Songzhou City has been looted twice by the other party, not to mention the city for the time being, more importantly, there is very little food and grass, this is the biggest problem, as long as we wait here for three or five days, Shang Nang will definitely not be able to support it, at that time, it is the easiest to start with Shang Nang. General Zhang Zhenzhou is good at defense, and Shang Nang's soldiers and horses cannot break General Zhang Zhenzhou's defense line. Fang Xuanling said with confidence.

There are two people who are good at defending in Datang, one is Pei Renji, and the other is Zhang Zhenzhou, and the two veterans led the army to defend the city, like a rock. Although Shang Nang is good at attacking, in the face of such a geographical advantage as the Sichuan Temple, even if the 30,000 army is lost, there is no way. In the face of him, he could only forcibly attack Li Chengzong's soldiers and horses, or he was desperate to attack Zhang Zhenzhou's 30,000 army.

"Lu Dongzan had already discovered that Shang Nang was besieged, and the minister was worried that Zhang Zhenzhou's army of 30,000 was too weak and would be defeated by the Tubo alliance. The minister thought it would be better to give Master Zhang more troops. Cen Wenwen thought for a moment and said.

"Does General Zhang need to increase his troops? As long as he blocked Lu Dongzan for two days, the last general thought that it was enough. Qin Huaiyu said loudly: "Your Highness, the minister is willing to lead the army to attack Shang Nang, isn't he Shang Nang the most powerful general in Tubo?" The last general thinks that when we train troops in Songzhou and Mianzhou, isn't it just to deal with the Tubo people? In the past, there was no chance to fight with the Tubo people, but now that the opportunity has come, the minister thinks that it can't be just forgotten, and that he should fight a decisive battle with the Tubo people, so that our soldiers can also see it, and the Tubo people are not worried at all. This was the case before, it is the case now, and it will be the same in the future, an army that has not experienced blood, no matter how well trained, is of no use. ”

"General Qin is very sure! It's just General Qin, His Majesty uses most of his troops with resourcefulness, and he will only confront the other party unless he has to, is the general's move too risky. Cen Wenwen said with some concern.

"Forced attack?" Li Chengzong's face suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, he knew Li Xin's fighting style, rarely fought a tough battle, mostly used clever tricks to achieve victory, unless it was forced to do so, and then there were explosives, no conscience cannon such siege weapons, Li Xin battled, more cherished human life, even if it consumed more explosives, he was not willing to use human life to maintain his victory record.

Now Qin Huaiyu thinks that he should forcibly attack Shang Nang, Shang Nang is now a turtle in the urn, do you need to use the lives of the soldiers to solve such a character? Li Chengzong hesitated suddenly.

"Your Highness, soldiers who have not gone through a bloody battle cannot be called elite, now we are dealing with our enemies in Songzhou, and soon we will be dealing with our own enemies on the ground of the Tubo people, Your Highness thinks, can our current soldiers enter the territory of Tubo and fight with the enemy?" Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but ask.

Li Chengzong shook his head and said, "Although the soldiers in Songzhou have been trained, no one knows whether they can adapt to the plateau. My father once said that on the plateau, there is altitude sickness, which is a disease, and Shi Bozu is looking for a medicine that can help this altitude sickness. Even if it is customer service, when our army went to the plateau and fought with the Tubo soldiers, it was still faced with this situation, and its combat effectiveness would definitely be affected. ”

"Since that's the case, let's fight, this group of soldiers are all trained generals of the Six Flowers Array, no matter how fierce the other party is, it is impossible to break through the defense of the Six Flowers Array." Fang Xuanling also said: "Although the soldiers in the past have fought with foreign races, but in fact, there is no impact on the body, but now it is not possible, our soldiers fought with the Tubo people for the first time, and they are much worse in terms of geographical advantages, so the minister also thinks that at this time, they can fight with the Tubo people, and let them see the strength of my Tang army." ”

"I think so." Cen Wenwen saw that Qin Huaiyu and Fang Xuanling both agreed to fight, so naturally they would not do sinners' things, not to mention, although there were pros and cons to this battle, but if they could win in one battle, it would naturally be good. With so many elites around him, it is impossible to think of failure. Therefore, Cen Wenwen naturally agreed to fight Shang Nang.

"Very good, then take the initiative to attack." Li Chengzong was excited in his heart, he didn't want to be an emperor Wen, in his opinion, a man should charge into battle and fight on the battlefield, this is the real man. It's a pity that he knows that his martial arts are not outstanding, but if he can solve a famous general like Shang Nang, after he goes back, he will definitely be appreciated by Li Xin.

Shang Nang didn't expect Li Chengzong to take the initiative to attack, when the army appeared under Songzhou City, he knew that it was not good, but in the face of the enemy's provocation, Shang Nang had no way to refuse, so he could only lead the army to abandon the defense of Songzhou City and come to the battlefield to prepare for a decisive battle with Li Chengzong. At this time, he had a feeling of shooting himself in the foot, if he hadn't burned down Songzhou's defenses at the beginning, I'm afraid this kind of thing would not have happened, he could use Songzhou to defend against Li Chengzong's attack, instead of using inferior forces to fight Li Chengzong in a decisive battle like now.

"The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are not simple." Shang Nang looked at the thousands of troops and horses in front of him, his face was solemn, although he saw that this team was composed of two different armies, which had always been more ferocious, and the other one was much worse in terms of momentum, but in terms of discipline, it was not inferior to the former, the army was extended, and the army he led was not enough to see at all.

"General, what are you afraid of, as long as we hold on longer, Lord Lu Dongzan will definitely come back to rescue me, the Tang Army in the Sichuan Temple is definitely not Lord Lu Dongzan's opponent." The deputy general next to him said indifferently, in this Tubo, there are three people with high prestige, the first is Songtsan Gampo, the second is Lu Dongzan, and the third is Shang Nang. Lu Dongzan won the praise and respect of many people with his wisdom. Even Shang Nang's lieutenant generals thought that Lu Dongzan would definitely be able to defeat Zhang Zhenzhou and finally come to the rescue of himself and others.

Shang Nang took a deep breath, he would not tell his army that in the next few days, his army would be alone, and more importantly, the grain and grass, his own grain and grass were no longer enough. Faced with this situation, the only way to do this is to move forward bravely and defeat the enemy in front of you.

"Brothers, this general has bad news for you, we have only two days of food and grass, that is to say, after two days, we will be hungry, and after three days, the enemy will easily defeat us, and if we take our prisoners, let us build him a wall, and let us rest us, and our lives will not be ours." Shang Nang turned around and said loudly: "All this is because of General Ben, it is General Ben who is useless and has brought you brothers into such a dangerous situation. Now you can go out of the city and surrender to your enemies. ”

"General, how can we, the Tibetans, surrender to our enemies, even if we die in battle, we will not surrender." The deputy general roared loudly: "These Tang people are not a good thing, everyone will kill them together, even if they die, they will have to pull a few people who lose money." ”

"Yes, kill it." It was followed by the guards around him, and finally the soldiers of the three armies, and in the entire Songzhou City, the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Outside Songzhou City, Li Chengzong's face was calm, but it was the first time that Fang Xuanling fought with the Tubo people as a minister, and he was a little nervous in his heart, he said to Li Chengzong: "Your Highness, the Tubo people are brutal, and the minister heard that their soldiers Ru Mao drank blood, which was very cruel, I am afraid that if there is a war, His Royal Highness will be in danger in the Chinese army, so it is better to retreat for the time being." ”

"Lord Fang laughed, there are two fierce generals Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Tieniu in front, and an old horseman in Shang Nang also wants to attack the Chinese army, they agree, and our soldiers will not agree." Li Chengzong said nonchalantly. He tightened the lance in his hand and said, "In the past, I used to compete with my father and some generals, but today I can finally fight with the real enemy." Two adults, you have to look carefully. ”

The gate of Songzhou was opened, Shang Nang personally led an army of 30,000 to kill it, for him, it was almost a battle against the water, killing Li Chengzong, he had a chance to survive, if he failed, he would be buried here even with himself.

"Archer, prepare." Qin Huaiyu's face was calm, he held a long lance in his hand, his body was double-stricken, his jade face was handsome, looking at the Tubo soldiers who rushed over, but his face was calm, and with a loud roar, he saw countless soldiers behind him, stretching their bows and arrows, and when the Tubo soldiers entered the firing range, there was a roar, and a huge dark cloud appeared in the air, covering the sky and the sun, and shooting at those Tubo soldiers on the head.

The most powerful killing move of the Central Plains army is these bows and arrows, usually when the enemy has not attacked to ten steps, the bow and arrow will shoot into the enemy's body, of course, this kind of cavalry shooting is not enough in front of the grassland people, but in front of the Tubo people is different, Shang Nang brought not cavalry this time, but infantry.

Simply after Shang Nang captured Songzhou, he obtained a lot of shields, and most of them were shields in front of the army, although the speed of the attack was slower, but the victory was safe. Behind the shield bearer, there are all mace soldiers, these soldiers are strong and powerful, and a mace can kill the enemy in front of them, and it is the most powerful dagger to break through the enemy's line. Shang Nang made such an arrangement, and it was also calculated for a long time. Even if it is facing the rain of arrows of the Tang army, this is the case.

"Kill." And the Tang army is also a shield bearer in front, these shield bearers are different from the Tubo people, when the other hand, there is also a dagger, the cold light is shining. This was based on the ancient Roman soldiers, and at some point, these shield-bearers were able to have unexpected effects.

For example, now, the shield bearers of the two sides collided in the first wave, but unfortunately, after the collision, the shield bearers of the Tubo people were inexplicably lying on the ground, covering their waists, their eyes were round, but they were dead. (To be continued.) )
