Chapter 289: Serendipity, The History of the Great Defeat
Early in the morning of the second day... The sound of the Tibetan trumpet sounded... Early morning is the time when a person's combat effectiveness is the weakest, and Li Jing analyzed that this time Tubo is going to play really.
A total of 50,000 Tibetan troops were dispatched, and there were 50,000 cavalry behind them, as long as Lanzhou City could be captured, then 50,000 cavalry would immediately kill it in one go, so that Lanzhou City would fall into a place of no return.
"Kill...!"
The war began, and the soldiers of Tubo and the Tang Dynasty began to fight vigorously.
And at this time, Sadler found Cui Zhiwen, and he told Cui Zhiwen that now was the time to act, and he asked Cui Zhiwen's people to tie a red strip of cloth on each of their arms, so that they would not be injured by mistake.
The time was 7 o'clock in the morning, and Cui Zhiwen led his own team of family members and the army in Lanzhou City, about 1,000 people, and slowly walked towards the gate of Lanzhou City.
Because the other party is the assassin of Lanzhou City, no one thought that Lanzhou Assassin would betray the Tang Dynasty.
So when Cui Tingshi came to the front of Lanzhou City, a soldier guarding the city gate also went over and kindly reminded Cui Zhiwen not to get any closer, because if he got closer, he might be injured.
It's just that the general would never have thought that his kindness would become a death prediction.
Cui Zhiwen, who was smiling, said with a smile on the surface that he knew, but just as the soldier guarding the city turned around, Cui Zhiwen plunged a dagger into the soldier's waist.
"Poof...!" With a sound, Cui Zhiwen inserted the dagger into the waist of the soldier and shouted: "Do it, kill all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, open the city gate, welcome Tubo Zampu, glory and wealth are at your fingertips." ”
A sentence of glory and wealth at your fingertips aroused the most bloodthirsty beast nature under Cui Zhiwen, and they showed their swords and guns one after another, killing the gatekeepers of about 500 people on the side.
"Not good... Cui Zhiwen rebelled against Tang...! Finally, the soldiers defending the city also knew what they were doing.
At the first time, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty also resisted, but it is a pity that one thousand against five hundred, and the five hundred Datang soldiers are still passive, so the advantages of Cui Zhiwen's side are reflected.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were cut down by Cui Zhiwen's soldiers one after another, just when Cui Zhiwen felt that he was about to open the city gate.
No one expected that Li Zhan would suddenly come over with his people.
The number of people on Li Zhan's side is not very large, only about two hundred, but although the number is small, it is the elite of the elite, one hundred horsemen, fifty dragon teeth, and fifty Li Jingmen.
Seeing Li Zhan coming, Cui Zhiwen was stunned at first, but soon when Cui Zhiwen saw Li Zhan's number clearly, a cold smile appeared on the corner of Cui Zhiwen's mouth and said, "Li Qincha... It's really that there is a way in heaven, and there is no door in hell for you to break into, and our fate is not shallow, so you can stay with me today. ”
Cui Zhiwen's words made Li Zhan stunned, and after hearing that he was staying, Li Zhan scolded angrily: "Cui Zhiwen, you want to betray Tang?" ”
"You got it right... I want to betray Tang, but these are all forced by you, don't think that I don't know what you are doing this time, isn't it Li Shimin who asked you to cross the river and tear down the bridge, okay... I, Cui Zhiwen, will first tear down your Li Shimin's bridge.
Come on... Kill them all for me, and keep the Chin in the middle for me, and I will sacrifice him to Zampu. ”
"Bastard...!" Li Zhan was angry, fortunately he prepared a back hand, and then he would meet Cui Zhiwen, otherwise, this time it would be a big trouble.
You must know that Li Zhan was not going to come here in the morning, but Li Zhan received the flying pigeon pass and knew that his preparation had been completed, so he came over to prepare to end the war.
But who would have thought that he had a backhand, and this Tubo also had a backhand, and he was actually rebelled by the Tubo thorn history of Lanzhou City.
It really made Li Zhan speechless, looking at the large number of family members and soldiers who rushed over, Li Zhan also said ruthlessly: "Don't keep your hands, kill them all...!" ”
Li Zhan's order, a hundred cavalry charged, the dragon's teeth were killed on both sides, and the back of the Lijing Gate was sniped.
Seriously, although Cui Zhiwen still has more than 800 people, the people on Li Zhan's side are more elite, needless to say, there will be no problem with picking you three on a horse, plus dragon teeth.
You must know that the dragon teeth are all knights recruited by Ouyang Ye from the rivers and lakes, these people have very strong individual combat ability, and the killer is really a sword, I didn't see Ouyang Ye with a spear in his hand, and in less than a pillar of incense, he slashed and killed more than ten family members.
The last is Lijingmen, in fact, Lijingmen did not rush up, Lijingmen was around Li Zhan to protect Li Zhan, and then took out a bow and arrow to snipe those families, the tapir's archery skills are very strong, one arrow, and five people will be slaughtered in a while.
In this way, Cui Zhiwen's remaining more than 800 soldiers and soldiers decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it took less than half an hour for the hundred horsemen on Li Zhan's side to empty Cui Zhiwen's people.
Moreover, Li Zhan only injured a dozen people on his side, and none of them even died.
As soon as he reined in the reins of the horse, Li Zhan looked at Cui Zhiwen, who was still frightened, and said, "Pass my order... Control everyone in the Cui family, and when the war is over, you don't have to go back to Chang'an, you will be tried in Lanzhou. ”
"Yes...!"
"Li Zhan... If you dare to move my family, I won't let you go. Cui Zhiwen on the side scolded loudly.
Li Zhan looked at Cui Zhiwen and said lightly: "Confess your accomplices, and I will let your family go, such as your son... Cui Yujue...! ”
"You... You... Are you telling the truth? Cui Zhiwen looked at Li Zhan with some disbelief, because betraying Tang is a capital crime, and the whole family will die, he just scolded angrily to vent the resentment in his heart, and suddenly, when Li Zhan said this, Cui Zhiwen was surprised.
Li Zhan nodded affirmatively and said: "Now at this moment, I don't need to lie to you, you are already a prisoner, and it is a great crime of treason, the life and death of your family are in my hands, whoever I let your family live, he will live, and whoever I let your family die, he will die." ”
"Well... I'll just believe you, I have an accomplice, he is from Tibet... His name is Sadler, and he is the one who instigated me to rebel against the Tang Dynasty. Cui Zhiwen was very happy and sold Sadler.
Li Zhan nodded and looked at Gao Hu and said, "Arrest Sadler... Be sure to catch it. ”
Gao Hu was ordered to leave, and finally, this time Cui Zhiwen's rebellion against Tang was quelled, and after a while, Sadler was also caught, this guy originally wanted to escape, and he put on makeup, but he was still caught by Gao Hu.
After that, Li Zhan did something that everyone didn't understand, that is, Li Zhan actually asked Li Jing to hang up a war-free card.
Of course, there was no war-free card in ancient times, this was temporarily thought up by Li Zhan, and Li Zhan also thought of it on TV, but if the city on TV really can't win, hang a "war-free card" on the city wall, and the besieging army will have nothing to do. Sometimes it is not a siege, but a camp in the field, as long as a "war-free card" is hung outside the camp, the other side will not dare to attack.
That's fake, it's artistic processing.
However, in ancient times, there was actually a morality of freedom from war, you can fight on the battlefield, but if other armies raise their flags and surrender, you can no longer fight. In other words, if someone says a timeout (hang the "no battle card"), you have to give others a chance to "pause". Giving others this kind of opportunity is a kind of call for "righteous warfare" and the maintenance of morality.
Many of today's competitive sports have actually evolved from ancient wars and are a "variant" of ancient wars.
And competitive sports happen to be a kind of "righteous war". If, in competitive sports, one side admits defeat, the game is over for sure. Or if you don't admit defeat, but want to "pause", according to the rules, the other party should agree. This way of allowing "pause" is a kind of "war-free card".
Seeing that Li Zhan had hung a sign exempting from war, Songtsen Gampo stopped attacking slightly, he wanted to see, what was Li Zhan going to do?
