Li Shiji also paid special attention to one thing.

That is the casualty of the 300 people who went out with the army of the Military University this time, and the result was that no one was killed in battle, and only two people were injured, but it did not hinder the combat effectiveness, Li Shiji nodded, and took the 300 outstanding students of the Military University to the expedition, which was a big test for him.

It is said that this was proposed by Hou Junji, the students of the military university are future officers, they always have to participate in all kinds of battles, it is impossible to always fight with the internal rebels, but also with the external enemy, so it is very important to broaden the horizons, the generals can talk about the colorful, but after all, it is not as good as seeing with their own eyes, so although Hou Junji was taken the position of chief of staff, this construction was adopted.

Military University students received an order, the Tang Dynasty army is about to launch a war of annihilation against Tuyuhun, the army is about to go to the army, if you want, you can go with the army, serve as an acting junior officer in the army, hone it, see the real national war, and broaden your horizons, of course, this is not mandatory, but voluntary, if you are willing to go, you can sign up, and if you don't want to, no one will force you, after all, it is an expedition abroad, and the situation is different.

The result is that the entire military university has signed up collectively, including the students who have just entered the third phase also have to sign up, and the military university is almost 3,000 people are angry and have to sign up, and finally Fang Xuanling said that if you get too much, the loss will inevitably increase, these students are too precious, especially the students in the second and third phases, they have not been on the domestic battlefield, let alone the national war battlefield, if there are too many losses. That would be a shame.

So in the end, Li Er's majesty still made a restriction, only 300 of the first phase of students were allowed to participate in the battle, and the rest of the students were not allowed to join, and the quota of 300 people was only allowed to be approved after Li Jing's all-round consideration, Li Jing chose 300 of the best students after careful consideration, their ability to save their lives is stronger, if they survive, they will be even better, and enter the army in advance to feel the atmosphere of the army, which is a good experience for them.

At the same time, in order to appease the rest of the students. Li Jing also arranged for them to enter the barracks to experience military life. Carrying out the tasks that the army is supposed to perform, it is enough to reluctantly appease them.

Li Shiji's pressure is very great, and the last time the students lost forty people in the battle, which made him feel distressed for a long time. But this is already a very small number of casualties. Relative to the rest of the army. Such casualties are already surprisingly few, and he doesn't dare to pursue too much, but the three hundred students who went out this time are really the baby bumps of the military academy. If you lose a Li Shiji, you have to worry about whether you will be eaten alive by the group of old guys in the military academy after you go back, Hou Junji is not terrible, Li Daoyan is so-so, if he offends the generals of the military academy, he will not have to mess around.

Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance, Zhao Liang, Cheng Chumo, Changsun Chong, Wei Chi Baolin and his own son Li Zhen all participated in the operation, except for Xue Rengui and Wang Xuance who followed Su Dingfang to participate in the Long March of a thousand miles, the rest of the students participated in the battle in the main army, Li Zhen beheaded six people and made some military exploits, which made him quite happy, Li Daozong's army also had dozens of students, they went to meet Tubo, Li Shiji couldn't help but be a little worried.

Soon, after the Tang army sorted out the things in the city, they left part of the left-behind army to maintain order, and the rest of the army went out of the city to set up camp, and after a day of rest, they waited for Li Daozong's results, and then decided on the next things.

Li Daozong led the army to pursue Fuyun Khan, to a plain with a wide field of vision, Tan Ma Lai reported that he found an enemy cavalry, the number of almost a thousand people, strange clothes, not like the clothes of the Tuyuhun people, Li Daozong immediately knew that this was the Tubo cavalry, and in a state of excitement, Li Daozong immediately ordered the Turkic cavalry to go fully with 1,000 people, and completely cleaned up the thousand Tubo cavalry.

The thousand Turkic generals took the order to go, and their faces were still happy, thinking that this was a good opportunity to take credit, Li Daozong also waited patiently, but it didn't take long for only dozens of Turkic cavalry to run back with wounds, and the thousand generals had disappeared, Li Daozong knew that they had suffered defeat, more than 1,000 people were almost wiped out, only 50 of them remained, and there were about 3 or 400 people on the Tibetan side, they came back from desperate flight, and their riding and archery skills were better than those of the Tubos.

Li Daozong became cautious, the combat effectiveness of the Tang cavalry is better than that of the Turks, but it is not too high, the Tubo people relied on their own strength and won the battle with the Turks, that is to say, the use of 600 people for the Turks 1,000 people, in exchange for the Tang Army Iron Cavalry and the Turkic Iron Cavalry head-on battle, it is estimated that this is the number, it seems that the combat effectiveness of the Tubo people is not weak, on the contrary, it should be very strong!

Now it seems that the fiasco of the Western Regions Alliance Army is not without the reason why the fighting power of the Tubo people is too strong, if it is calculated in this way, Li Daozong felt that he needed to be more cautious, so he ordered the whole army to advance quickly, let the Tang Iron Cavalry go to test the combat effectiveness of the Tubo people, to see if it was between Bozhong, the second battle between the two sides took place an hour later, the Tang Dynasty 3,000 iron cavalry against the Tubo 3,000 iron cavalry, Li Daozong personally approved the armor to fight, and formed a guard team with 50 students of the Military University as his own soldiers on the battlefield.

After a big battle, the Tubo 3,000 iron cavalry was wiped out, the Tang Dynasty lost 1,000 and 68 people, almost everyone was wounded, the Tubo 3,000 iron cavalry was wiped out, and the Turkic iron cavalry killed the Tubo cavalry with cavalry The reason is inside, and the hospital generals in the Tubo people are particularly brave, and they don't even stop killing eight Tang iron cavalry, and they come directly towards Li Daozong's Chinese army, and the five military university students can't beat him in a joint battle, one was killed, four were injured, Li Daozong was furious, and personally went into battle to fight with him, and finally killed him.

In the end, the Tang Iron Cavalry still defeated the Tubo cavalry, but the price paid was too great, from the Tang Dynasty to the Tuyuhun Kingdom did not lose so many soldiers, but this battle lost so much, you can imagine how brave this Tubo army is, Li Daozong did not take much advantage. But lost so many soldiers, almost a Tang soldier can only be exchanged for three Tubo soldiers, and after the battle, the cavalry are exchanging the bravery of the Tubo cavalry.

The Datang Iron Cavalry has met a real opponent!

After reading the battle report, Li Shiji's brows furrowed slightly, to be honest, these 30,000 Tubo soldiers and horses are not enough for him to see, as long as he wants, these 30,000 Tubo soldiers are all here, and it is not enough for him to eat, but the combat effectiveness shown by the Tubo soldiers makes him more concerned. Such a powerful combat power. The Tang army couldn't kill them all at a small price, and if they wanted to use a strategy, they would be out of the blue.

Li Shiji felt that the remaining 20,000 or so Tubo soldiers were not very easy to deal with, which made him even more worried about Su Dingfang. After all, there are still more than 10,000 Tubo soldiers in the Western Regions Alliance. And the Western Regions Coalition Army is basically useless. can only rely on Su Dingfang's own five thousand iron horses, but is this really enough? Facing more than 10,000 Tubo soldiers and more than 10,000 Tuyuhun soldiers, Su Dingfang only had his own 5,000 iron cavalry. Is it really enough?

Li Shiji sent a letter to Su Dingfang, hoping that he could pay attention to it and adopt more secure tactics, otherwise the five thousand iron cavalry would not only be ineffective, but the shape would be even worse.

After sorting out these things, Li Shiji personally waved his army to prepare to rush to the place where Li Daozong camped overnight, at this time it is better for the two armies to unite together, gather the main combat strength, even in the face of the final attack of Tubo and Tuyuhun, he is not afraid, but if he has to pay too much price, it will inevitably be a little more than worth the loss, and Li Shiji also learned that the students of the Military University died two in battle, both of them were the best students, and two more were killed in the battle, which made him depressed for a while.

Li Shiji didn't know, he was depressed, Tuyuhun and the Tubo people were even more depressed, Fuyun Khan also counted on the Tubo people to recover the national capital for him, and the first round of contact won the battle and made him very happy, annihilating the Tang army of 1,000 people, he hurriedly urged the Tubo commander to send troops again, the Tubo commander was also quite complacent, Tubo sent troops to win consecutive battles, the army of Li Shimin, who was known as the heavenly khan, was not so powerful, and killed 1,000 people after losing 600 people, it seems that Tubo can try to attack the Central Plains, that plateau, It's really bitter cold to the extreme.

However, the next second battle made Fuyun Khan and the Tubo commander feel depressed, the three thousand Tubo cavalry were all wiped out, none of them came back, and they were defeated. ”

Tubo Coach, Lu Dongzan!

If Suning is here, he should be surprised when he hears this, but compared to most people's impression of Lu Dongzan Wenchen, Lu Dongzan does live up to this title, but Lu Dongzan's military talent is also very good, and most of the wars on the Tibetan plateau are indispensable to Lu Dongzan's direct command and indirect planning.

It is also conceivable how attractive Mr. Lu Dongzan's talent is, but the world is unpredictable, this time and space, Lu Dongzan, as the leading commander in Tubo, personally led 30,000 Tubo elites into Tuyuhun to fight against the Tang Dynasty!

Looking at the head in front of him, Lu Dongzan's face was not good, this general is a very famous brave general in Tubo, with the courage of 10,000 invincibles, and is very valued by the Tubo ruler Songtsan Gampo, this battle is also he and this general joined forces, the Western Regions Alliance Army 60,000 people were wiped out, and made great achievements, the first battle also defeated the Tang Army, but the second battle was unexpected, and the whole army of 3,000 cavalry was annihilated.

3,000 people is not a small number for the sparsely populated Tubo, and the army brought out is also the leading elite army in Tubo, because Tuyuhun promised to give Tubo one-third of the land and the mouth of the people such a big reward that Songtsen Gampo made up his mind to let 30,000 elites fight, and Lu Dongzan meant to let Tuyuhun and the Tang army fight first, and when they were both defeated, they defeated the Tang army first, and then turned around and destroyed Tuyuhun, and directly snatched Tuyuhun's land!

This is what Lu Dongzan himself meant, and Songtsan Gampo also agreed, so the previous battle Tubo did not contribute, let the Tang army and Tuyuhun fight, after Tuyuhun's main army was wiped out by the Tang army, Lu Dongzan felt that his opportunity was about to come, Tuyuhun only had 30,000 remnants left, and he still had 30,000 elite troops with high spirits, and the domestic army was also ready, and could go north at any time to annex Tuyuhun, but at such a juncture, Tubo encountered an unprecedented defeat of 3,000 people.

This has never been done before, not to mention that the army is the elite army brought out by Songtsen Gampo, and the important combat force on which the unified plateau depends, but now it has been wiped out by the Tang army, and a fierce general has been killed, which makes Lu Dongzan feel that things are a little bad, and the plan is estimated to be changed.
