Chapter 54: The Wrath of Agundin
The other three Tibetan soldiers did not end much better.
On their side, although there are no Yanyun eighteen horsemen.
But as soon as they rushed out of the fire, they faced the attack of the Datang Thousand People.
At the other three gates, there were a total of 10,000 Tibetan soldiers.
There are about 3,000 people at each gate.
Of these 3,000 people, half of them were buried in the fire.
Only fifteen or six hundred people were able to escape.
These 1,500 or 600 people were all covered in burns.
At this point, they are exhausted and lose their spirit.
Against the Tang Army, which was recuperated and imposing like a rainbow, they did not have much resistance at all.
After only a few moments of fighting, the three Tibetan armies were all defeated.
What awaited them was only the ruthless slaughter behind the Tang army.
The 3,000 Tang army, plus a Yanyun 18 cavalry, fully pursued the Tubo army to twenty miles away.
I don't know how many Tibetan soldiers they killed, and they returned triumphantly.
Next, Cheng Shengnan began to count the number of people and clean up the battlefield.
In this battle, more than 10,000 of the 20,000 Tibetan soldiers were killed in the fire.
In the ensuing war, they also slaughtered more than 5,000 people.
Combined, they annihilated more than 15,000 Tibetan soldiers.
And themselves, there were actually no soldiers who died.
Only a few hundred wounded soldiers.
And as long as Li Su is there, the wounded soldiers will basically not die.
In this battle, they can be said to have won a big victory.
And the biggest contributor to this battle, there is no doubt that it is none other than King Liang.
If it weren't for King Liang on the city wall, he was calm and unhurried to delay time.
They simply did not have enough time to set fire to the perimeter.
If it weren't for King Liang's remarks that the sky descended from heaven and the sky descended from heaven.
The Tibetan army on the front will not be defeated so quickly.
The reason why no one died in the Tang Dynasty soldiers.
The main reason was that the Tibetan soldiers were defeated too quickly.
If you fight head-on to the end, it is impossible not to die a single person.
After this battle, the prestige of King Liang among the army increased greatly.
After cleaning the battlefield, the Tang army returned to Xiaoliang City and was warmly supported by the people of the city.
Cheng Shengnan first arranged for the soldiers to patrol and take turns off.
Next, call Li Su to the handsome tent to discuss the next battle.
After experiencing two wars, Cheng Shengnan, who led the troops for the first time, has grown a lot.
So far, they have wiped out 18,900 Tibetan soldiers.
And they only killed more than eighty soldiers and seriously wounded more than a hundred.
Combined, there were nearly two hundred soldiers, incapacitated.
And they added more than 500 recruits.
That is, so far, their combat effectiveness, there is almost no attrition.
This is already a great achievement for them.
Cheng Shengnan concluded that they had killed so many Tibetan soldiers.
Next, the Tibetan side is bound to retaliate against them.
Now, they are still mainly steady.
Cheng Shengnan decided to temporarily evacuate Xiaoliang City and retreat to station.
Once the Tubo army arrived, they would try to involve the Tubo army depending on the situation, and wait for Hou Junji to lead the Tang army to arrive.
According to the current strength of the Tang Army, Cheng Shengnan's method is undoubtedly the most prudent method.
But Li Su doesn't see it that way.
After two battles, Li Su felt that in fact, Tubo was just like that.
Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but say, "General Cheng, look. ”
"If we withdraw from Xiaoliang City, Xiaoliang City will not have the slightest defensive ability."
"Once the Tibetan army really arrives, they can easily break the city."
"What if these animals slaughter my people in the Tang Dynasty?"
"When the time comes, we can only watch?"
Three thousand people, under the siege of the Tibetan army, there was no way to defend the city.
Migrating people, it is easy for them to catch up.
However, Cheng Shengnan couldn't watch the Tubo army slaughter the city.
Cheng Shengnan couldn't help but ask: "Your Highness, what do you think?" ”
Li Su couldn't help but say: "This king thinks that we should withdraw from Xiaoliang City. ”
"Xiaoliang City, the walls are low, and they are easy to break."
"This city, far from giving us protection, is like a prison."
"However, withdrawing from Xiaoliang City, we can't passively defend in the rear."
"It's about going to the front and taking the initiative to snipe!"
"The Tibetan army will inevitably divide its troops."
"And we only need to attack and kill their small group of soldiers to attract the attention of their large army and lead them by the nose."
"In this way, we can not only lead their army, but also avoid the destruction of Xiaoliang City."
Hearing Li Su's idea, Cheng Shengnan couldn't help frowning and said, "However, on the Tibetan side, there are still nearly 100,000 troops. ”
"Although it is impossible for them to mobilize all of them, it is very likely that they will send 50,000 or 60,000 people."
"The number of enemies is almost twenty times that of ours, and if we are not careful, we are very likely to be wiped out."
Li Su smiled confidently, and then said: "General Cheng, don't worry, with my reconnaissance ability, I will ensure that we can attack them." ”
"I can perfectly avoid their army, and I will definitely not let my Tang soldiers fall into danger."
After pondering for a long time, Cheng Shengnan finally agreed to Li Su's plan.
In fact, Cheng Shengnan was also a hawkish general.
If it weren't for the disparity in strength, she wouldn't want to back down.
The plan has been decided, and after two days of repairs, Cheng Shengnan led 3,000 vanguard troops and quietly went out of the city.
This time, although the army left, the people in the city were not so afraid.
Because they are convinced that King Liang and the female general will not leave them alone.
……
Speaking of Tibet, Agonxi led three or four thousand remnants of the army and fled back to their base camp in disarray.
The commander-in-chief of the Tibetan side was called Agundin, and after learning of the battle, he was so furious that he almost cramped and skinned the Agung seat.
Although Agundin was also a cousin of Agunddin.
"Are you a pig?"
"No, you're not even as good as a pig!"
"Even if 20,000 pigs are put somewhere for them to kill, it won't be so fast, right?"
"Besides, what kind of Tang Heavenly Master, who also descended heavenly fire from the sky, and heavenly soldiers descended from the sky?!"
"This is clearly a trick of the Tang people pretending to be a ghost, and it is just a matter of the soldiers at the bottom being fooled."
"I didn't expect you to be fooled by others as a general! What a pig's head! ”
Agundin scolded angrily, and the scolded Agung's seat couldn't raise his head.
Next, Agundin gathered an army of 50,000 and marched towards Xiaoliangcheng.
This time, he led an army of 120,000 to attack Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, Bailan, and Datang.
Its purpose is actually just to force Datang to agree to the request for peace.
Therefore, in this battle, they can not kill too much.
But it is necessary to let the Tang Dynasty see their strong military ability in Tibet.
But it's better now.
The Tang Dynasty only sent a vanguard army of 3,000 people and wiped out nearly 20,000 of them.
For them, this is not only a great shame, but also makes it impossible for them to achieve their goals.
However, Agundin also learned a piece of news.
That is, in this vanguard army, there is actually a prince of the Tang Dynasty, King Liang.
Although they lost almost 20,000 soldiers and horses.
However, as long as the Tang Dynasty prince can be captured, for them, the losses ahead are worth it.
