The Yangwei army was like a tiger entering the flock, cutting melons and vegetables to harvest those Tubo soldiers who had no fighting spirit at all, and when Liu Yuan arrived at the battlefield, the soldiers had already cleaned up the battlefield.

Attacking these miscellaneous armies with elite Yangwei troops, it is quite a bit of a cannon to fight mosquitoes, there is no challenge, just to have fun, as soon as Liu Yuan came, Guan Yong, Hou Jun and others saluted him one after another.

"What about our casualties?" After Liu Yuan arrived at the battlefield, the first thing he asked was about the casualties.

There is no suspense about the outcome of the battle, Liu Yuan is most concerned about his subordinates, there are not many people, if the loss is too large in this kind of completely hands-training battle, then Liu Yuan will be very heartbroken, which also shows that in Liu Yuan's heart, the lives of the soldiers are more important than honor.

Zhao Fu said happily: "General, just now it has been counted, our army only paid the price of 68 wounded and 18 brothers killed, and completely annihilated about 1,200 enemies, and won a complete victory. ”

Although he understood that in the era of cold weapons, casualties were inevitable, and the loss rate was surprisingly low, Liu Yuan still said bitterly: "The death of a brother also makes the general's heart ache." ”

Elite, raids, ambushes, as well as fire guns and clairvoyants and other advantages, at the beginning of the attack power to the fullest, and in the end there are dozens of deaths, from here it can also be seen that the terrible nature of the Tubo people, can destroy so many countries, suppress so many nationalities, the status of the plateau hegemon, is really not blown.

Liu Yuan's words, all the soldiers heard that their hearts were ambiguous, there is a general who loves soldiers like a son, it is indeed a very happy thing, Qian Weiqiang comforted Liu Yuan and said: "General, as the old saying goes, kill a thousand enemies, and lose eight hundred." It's very good now, and I think they died a glorious death on the battlefield. ”

"Yes, general, go to the battlefield, where are there no casualties? We've done it perfectly. Yu Chi Baoqing also comforted on the side.

"Well, you're right, we should be happy for them and proud for them, okay. Cremate them, take them home, and don't leave them homeless. ”

"Yes, General" Zhao Fu whispered, "I have already asked people to prepare firewood, and I will not throw them down." ”

Seeing the good atmosphere spoiled myself. Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, don't mention these." Which of the thousand household chiefs who called the guest or something was killed? ”

The crowd looked at each other. Then in unison, he said, "Blood Knife." ”

The little blood knife Yue Chong hugged his fists and said a little embarrassedly: "You guys accept it, you accept it." ”

The biggest merit this time was to kill the enemy's first thousand household chiefs, Yue Chong guarded the last pass, and rushed down. Without saying a word, he went straight to the head of the enemy, the Tubo people had a clear hierarchy, and it was easy for those who were officials to see that Yue rushed through five levels and killed six generals. Killed more than a dozen soldiers who were blocking, and in less than three swords, he cut off the head of the enemy's thousand-household chief, and grabbed the first credit before the others arrived.

Liu Yuan patted Yue Chong on the shoulder and said, "Yes, good job." ”

"General Xie." Yue Jun said with some flattery.

Zhao Fu whispered: "General, if you destroy these people, where will we go?" ”

"The city of Raks." Liu Yuan said with a straight face.

"That's all for us?"

"That's right."

Zhao Fu said in surprise: "General, I heard that the city of Luo is now high and strong, and the security is extremely tight. Se took refuge in Pibo City, and the secret of the Apo clan no longer exists, and it is said that the secret passage has also been sealed, and we will go back, but I'm afraid, I'm afraid that it will be difficult. ”

Guan Yong also asked in a low voice, "General, this is too dangerous." ”

Liu Yuan laughed, waved his hand and said, "Seeing that you are scared one by one, that's right, we are going back to Luosome City, but we are not going into the city, but are active outside the city, so you don't have to worry." ”

"General, what is the purpose of our trip?" Hou Jun said curiously.

Guan Yong, a militant, said excitedly: "It must be when the city is broken, rushing in to rob people, if we catch Songtsen Gampo, then we will soar into the sky." ”

"It's to catch Songtsen Gampo," Liu Yuan said with a smile: "But it's not in the city, we're going to catch it outside the city." ”

"General, why?"

Liu Yuan said in a surprising voice: "It's very possible, Songtsen Gampo has a secret passage to the outside of the city. ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, but in retrospect, it was Apo. There is a reason to lead to the outside of the city, before Songtsen Gampo dominates the plateau, it is also a continuous war, and it is not very strange to leave behind, the Yangwei army is the elite, but the large army fights, the emphasis is on the strength of the number of people, if there is really a secret way, that is, others plant trees and pick their own fruits, others beat grass and hug rabbits, it is simply wonderful.

Hou Jun suddenly frowned and pointed to the armor on the dead Tibetan soldiers on the ground, and said with a bitter face: "General, then don't we have to wear these dirty and torn armor again?" ”

"Now that you know, why don't you hurry up?" Liu Yuan said with a wrenched face.

When everyone heard this, they said with bitter faces, "Yes, General." ”

Fortunately, the Yangwei army and his entourage have experience in this area, and the tents, cattle and horses, and living utensils left by the Hakka clan are all good cover-ups, and they can completely replace their identities in the rear activities.

A general is a general, and he is always one step ahead, and everyone secretly admires in their hearts while cleaning up the war

The next day, when Liu Yuan and his entourage, dressed in disguise, wore the decorations of Tubo, carried the ashes of their fallen brothers, drove cattle and horses, and took the guys of the Hakka clan to march to Luoqicheng, the gate of Pibo City was opened, and a team of elite Tang soldiers drove out of the city, following their respective generals to the battlefield.

Armageddon has finally officially begun.

The first difficulty for Hou Junji was not people, but a river, the Tibetan River, which was large and fast, and it was this river that divided the city of Luo and Pibo into one east and one west, and Songtsen Gampo sent people to defend the river early in the morning to prevent the Tang army from crossing the river.

Thus, a war began over the crossing of the river.

The Tang Dynasty is in the elite and well-trained, and Tubo has the convenience of geography and population, the two are on the riverside to pull up the saw, it can be said that there are mutual victories and defeats, the Tibetan River has been stained red with blood several times, I don't know how many warriors are buried at the bottom of the river, and I don't know how many heroic souls have been left in other places, no one complains, no one retreats, the war is to this part, what is the fight is the will, although Tubo is geographically advantageous, but the Tang Dynasty soldiers win in the firearms, the range is long, the power is powerful, they are just using flesh and blood to block the footsteps of the Tang Dynasty.

Every progress in society is accompanied by doubts and stubbornness, and every step of the advance of the war is stepping on life and blood, and Rao is the Tang Army is no exception.

On April 3, Tuyuhun General Nuolin led 50,000 troops, raided the ferry, at the height of the battle, the Tang army smuggled in the night, armed with firearms, bows and arrows also joined the battle group, fierce battle all night, the Tang army killed 8,000 soldiers, Tuyuhun combined soldiers with General Enolin cut off an arm, nearly half of the casualties of the soldiers, and finally opened the road of the Tang army's westward advance, of course, Tubo did not take any advantage, and threw down nearly 50,000 corpses of elite soldiers as a price.

The Hou army gathered for three days and three nights, transported all the troops to the opposite bank, and then at the sound of an order, the army marched in a mighty queue towards the city of Luo.

"Warriors, the gods are watching us from heaven, and Lord Zampu is watching us from behind, kill."

"Kill all these Tang dogs."

"Sons, rush me."

"Kill"

"Brothers, make meritorious contributions, just now, kill."

"Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

"Whoosh Whoosh"

"Bang Bang Bang"

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have approached the city of Luo, the Tubo people have no way to retreat, so on the vast plateau, they have launched a life-and-death struggle again and again, the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo have deep grievances, each battle is full of both sides, for a time, the wolf smoke on the plateau is everywhere, the shouting and killing, the screams are endless, there are battles in progress every day, there are conspiracy brewing every day, blood has watered the land of the plateau, corpses are piled up in the wilderness, the most violent scene of human beings, day after day is staged here.

At this time, as one of the most elite troops in the Tang Dynasty, the Yangwei Army did not participate in these operations.

Liu Yuan has been around the city, constantly breaking it into pieces, secretly probing that there may be a secret exit from Songtsen Gampo.

When the sun went down, the people who sent out to inquire about the news came back one after another, and several leaders got into Liu Yuan's tent, inside the tent, the wine and meat were fragrant in the morning, and the tempting meat fragrance was the best reward for hard work.

"Come, sit down, eat, drink, feel free." Liu Yuan said with a smile.

The leader opened his mouth, his subordinates ran and broke their legs, Liu Yuan stayed in the base camp every day, and he said: Guarding the camp, guarding the camp, Guan Yong, Hou Jun, Wei Chi Baoqing, Qin Huaiyu, Zhao Fu and other cadres sent out the news, and waiting for his subordinates in the camp every night to report.

It's good to be an official, seeing the tired dogs of his subordinates, Liu Yuan's heart was secretly happy, but unfortunately there has been no useful information, and occasionally knocks out a few patrols or scout teams, Liu Yuan doesn't care about these small achievements.

Guan Yong was not afraid of being hot, so he pulled a leg of mutton all of a sudden, and said with a buzzing voice while gnawing: "General, you can exhaust your subordinates." ”

"That's it, when is this day a head, it's better to be willing to go into battle and kill the enemy than to search aimlessly like this."

Wei Chi Dingqing shook his head and said: "General, we have been looking for many days, we don't know which direction the exit is, we don't know where it is, and we don't know if this exit exists, general, spare us." ”

The city is so big, in the case of speculation, looking for an exit that is only possible, there is no accurate direction, there is no exact location, it is simply looking for a needle in a haystack, and when the soldiers mentioned it, even Liu Yuan felt that he was a little strong.
