668 Flattening Tibet!
On May 12, the ninth year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, according to the sincere request of Tubo Zampu Songtsan Gampo, His Majesty Li Shimin ordered the "20,000" Tang army in Hunzhou, Guzhou to prepare and prepare to go south to "help" Tubo to "quell the rebellion", according to the expectations of Songtsan Gampo and the route map provided to the Tang Dynasty, Li Er Majesty ordered the staff headquarters to confirm the battle plan again according to this map, and then descend to the front-line combat troops, May 22 is the day of the attack!
Songtsen Gampo was indeed unable to hold on, he was relieved after obtaining the support of the Tang Dynasty, calmly arranged the defense, out of the confidentiality requirements of the Tang Dynasty, Songtsen Gampo did not extend the news that the Tang army would come to help Tubo tide over the difficulties, but arranged other defenses, and once again forcibly recruited 50,000 people to join the army, strengthening the defense of the capital Luocheng City, he was ready to defend the Luocheng until the Tang army arrived, and other places would also retreat layer by layer to buy time for the Tang army to attack.
Hearing this news, the commanders of the two armies were like amnesty, they really couldn't bear it, the sharp attacks of the Divine Sect Guardian Legion and the Mob Legion made it difficult for them to hold on, and the armaments and materials were lost very quickly, and there were no weapons when they fought, but compared to the enemy army, they had strange enough armaments and weapons, and they could always repel the attacks of the regular army of Tubo by relying on sophisticated equipment, and when they attacked, the regular army had almost no power to fight back.
After losing consecutive battles, the two commanders almost wanted to surrender, but they really didn't have the face to see Songtsen Gampo, and they didn't have the confidence to see the day when Songtsen Gampo defeated them and re-ascended the throne, so it was better to surrender. Anyway, Zampu can't do it for them, and they don't have that much ambition.
But now it's good, blocking and retreating slowly, isn't it just a reasonable excuse for failure? Could it be that it can still lure the enemy deep and then strike hard to fight a war of annihilation? If it's just one enemy army, it's better to say that the enemy forces on two sides attack at the same time and fight on two roads, which is really unbearable, so it's better to go back to some cities as soon as possible to defend them.
Songtsen Gampo has the confidence to slowly build a strong city defense of the city. Then I always paid attention to the latest news from the Datang side and the battle news of the two resistance armies. Although Datang promised to send troops to support, he still hoped to hear the victorious record created by the Tubo people, so that he would have a lot of face and not be too embarrassed in front of Datang. Too unconfident.
But the truth is often brutal. He didn't get such news. On the contrary, the news of failure is one after another, losing a piece of land today and a village tomorrow. The day after tomorrow lost a small city, the day after tomorrow lost another level, Songtsen Gampo also understood, everyone has no courage and hope to continue fighting, Songtsen Gampo does not want to be too harsh on them, if they are harsh, they run away with the army, and they will be finished.
So Songtsen Gampo just soothed them with kind words, and then strengthened the defense of the city, and concentrated all his efforts to prepare for the defense of the city, all of them had to make way for the defense of the city, as long as the city was still in their hands, this qiÄ would still have a chance, if the city was gone, he would be finished.
On May 17, the ninth year of Zhenguan of the Tang Dynasty, the two resistance armies retreated to the city of Luoqi in despair, Songtsen Gampo greeted them on behalf of the entire Great Tibetan Empire, and praised them for their heroic fighting for several months.
Once upon a time, Songtsen Gampo was the leader of the entire Great Tibet, the controller of the entire plateau, but now, there is only one city of Logos that represents the legal system of Tibet still in his hands, is this ironic or ironic or ironic? Songtsen Gampo's heart was full of bitterness, but he pinned all his hopes on the Tang army that came to quell the rebellion.
The mob legion led by Scar and the Shenming Sect Guardian Legion led by Zhang Wuregret arrived at the city of Luo at the scheduled time, that is, on May 20 of the ninth year of Zhenguan, and the armies of the two sides met and carried out a warm exchange and mutual understanding.
Both sides got the answers they wanted, so both sides were overjoyed, congratulated each other, the first night was directly celebrated, Songtsen Gampo almost wanted to die on the city wall, if there was a strong cavalry in hand, if there was a strong army that could fight, if there was a strong general, Songtsen Gampo would not hesitate to give the order to attack at night, but Songtsen Gampo did not do this, he had no capital, and he did not dare to take risks......
Who knows if this is a trap or not? There are only less than 100,000 troops in the city, and the army that can fight is estimated to be no more than 50,000, and the others are either too tired to fight or are wounded and lose their ability to fight, Songtsen Gampo had to add his own personal guards to the army as an officer, driving the morale and combat effectiveness of the army defending the city, but the effect is not much good, how should it be or what, there is not much improvement, and the next day when he attacked the city for the first time, his own guards were killed in seventeen or eighteen, which made Songtsen Gampo feel distressed for a while.
No way, really no way, don't use these soldiers as cannon fodder, once the last living force is consumed, it will be over, the city will be over, the thousand-year-old legal system will be gone, Songtsen Gampo can't afford this responsibility, can't bear this consequence, only defend the city, regardless of the city, knowing that until the Tang army arrives in the city, as the king of Tubo, Songtsen Gampo has no choice.
At this moment, Zhang Wuregret is also secretly meeting with Hei Ye to discuss a series of issues......
"Team leader, after this incident is over, I want to retire and do some clerical work in the headquarters, these bodies live I, an old guy in my forties and almost fifty, can't bear it, and the last time I dealt with Lu Dongzan, I almost died in battle after wasting a lot of strength. I'm a lot older, can you make it easier for me? Hei Ye complained to Zhang Wuregret.
Zhang Wuregret smiled: "Don't think so, you killed Lu Dongzan, you made great contributions, and when you go back, you will be rewarded for your merits, and you will be able to be a team leader if you don't do it, you are now the oldest and most experienced one in the entire Blood Flower Members, how can Lord Hou ignore you?" Hou Ye must have more important work to hand over to you, of course, you can rest assured. Here's what's next. There won't be any danger to his life, and Hou Ye is not a villain, right?! ā
Hei Ye was depressed: "Yes, I know that Hou Ye is kind-hearted." But so it is. Leader. I really can't work on the front line, I really can't do it after this time, please tell Hou Ye for a lifetime. Give the old man a safe and relaxed job, in this bitter cold place on the plateau, the old man really can't stand it. ā
Zhang Wuregret nodded and agreed: "You can rest assured about this, this time you have made a great contribution, what do you want to do, it is estimated that Hou Ye will agree, this is not like me, I have to stay here to continue to preside over the work, I don't know if there is a chance to go home, the army of the Tang Dynasty will set off for the south of Tibet in one day, and our mission is about to end, you have to remember, never make a mistake at this time and lose your life, it is not worth it, understand?" ā
Hei Ye nodded: "My subordinates understand!" Team leader, what's next? Does Master Hou have any instructions? ā
Zhang Wuregret smiled: "Wasn't the instructions already there?" You do your thing, I do my thing, you are better than me, after cleaning up this group of mobs under the city, your task will be over, I can't do it yet, I have to go back to destroy those powerful people in Tibet, and then disintegrate the god religion, I really don't lie to you, this god religion, it's really ridiculous, it's really hard to imagine how these Tubo people can believe in such a sect, if Taoism and Buddhism are also like this, they would have been wiped out by us a long time ago! ā
Hei Ye shook his head and said: "Those Tubo people in the north can be tormented by the Divine Sect, so as soon as the Divine Sect falls, they are so fierce, they are all holding their breath and have no place to scatter, now that they have found an opportunity, why don't they release it ruthlessly?" The gods can't stay, and these mobs can't stay, all of them are sent to Datang to get labor reform, these are all strong laborers, and they can add three points of labor when they go down to the plateau! ā
Zhang Wuregret nodded and said, "Well, then it's okay on my side, are you sure to deal with that scarface if you are here?" This person can't live, he has a very deep prejudice against Datang, if he knows that it is a scam this time, and he escapes, then we will really have endless troubles, you must not let him go, you must kill him, can you guarantee it? ā
Hei Ye laughed sinisterly: "Team leader, I'm not good at saving people, I'm a master at harming people, otherwise how could Master Hou let me do this?" This scar is a game of ten deaths, his underwear, his diet, his mount, I have given the corresponding poison, at first I can't see anything, but after ten days, his body will begin to have problems, within a month will definitely die, and there is no antidote, this is a secret recipe left by a drug maker, back then, I used a lot of bears and tigers to make a real yĆ n. ā
Zhang Wuregret was a little embarrassed: "Ah, that's good, that's good, since you have a full certainty, then I will also believe you, let's determine the task, and when the Tang army is in the city, it is when your task is completed, take this waist card to General Li Shiji, General Li Shiji will arrange some for you, because your identity is special, so don't reveal your identity to anyone, only General Li Shiji can know this waist card, and don't reveal your identity." ā
Hei Ye nodded: "I understand the rules of blood flowers, I will pay attention to them." ā
Zhang Wuregret stood up and said: "Then, it's okay, Lao Hei, you are an old-timer who took me into the blood flower, don't die here, if I can't see you, I will be sad." ā
Dense beads of sweat oozed from Hei Ye's forehead: "That, team leader, are you still remembering what happened at that time?" That's Hou Ye's arrangement, it's really Hou Ye's arrangement, I, I'm helpless, this, you don't want to be serious with me, okay? ā
Zhang Wuregret laughed and said: "I'm joking with you, I know, so you have to survive, if you die, I'm going to trouble you!" Hahaha! ā
Hei Ye quietly left the secret meeting place with a depressed mood, and returned to the barracks of the mob legion, preparing the next plan, Zhang Wuregret also prepared his plan, on the other hand, Datang's army was also ready to go, 100,000 troops were fully loaded, no one was left behind or deserted and escaped, they all did a good job, Li Shiji was full of pride, and led 100,000 troops to fight with more than 10 generals for the first time, it is impossible not to be excited!
This battle has been fought well, but it is a battle that will be famous for the ages! (To be continued......)
