Li Yu accidentally exposed his ambitions, but this is also human nature, any confident Tang Erlang has the bearing to swallow the entire world, and it is the lifelong wish of every Tang Erlang to expand the territory for the Tang Empire. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although he had not yet arrived at the battlefield and had not seen the Tubo army, Li Yu had already begun to imagine what it would look like when he conquered Tubo, and discussed with Li An what kind of attitude he should take to accept the surrender of Tubo, if Tubo insisted on refusing to surrender, whether he would annihilate it completely, and whether the Tubo soldiers would be afraid in the face of the steel torrent of the Tang Dynasty, and whether they would be so frightened that they would pee their pants.

This series of assumptions is very interesting, Li An was idle, so he and Li Yu had a fight, and the war was about to start, although this war of strength and technology disparity, the Tang Empire was sure to win, but the process of fighting the war must be hard and boring, it is also a good choice to relax before the war, at least, you can relieve your mood.

At this time, the train was equipped with an electric system, and all the carriages were equipped with electric lights, so even at night, sitting in the carriage would feel very bright, and if the curtains were closed, you would not feel the existence of the night.

After being equipped with searchlights, the speed of the train at night was greatly increased, almost exactly the same as the speed during the day, so that it only took one night for the train to reach Minzhou in the west, and in the morning, get off in Minzhou and go to the battlefield.

In order to be able to go to the battlefield in the morning, Li An and Li Yu chatted for a while, and then went to the soft sleeper to rest, in order to be able to rest better, Li An and Li Yu each occupied a small private room, and the four beds were their own.

The quality of the railway laying is very good, and the speed of the train is not very fast, so the carriage seems to be very stable, and it is also very comfortable to sleep in the soft sleeper car.

Early in the morning of the second day, the trains arrived in Minzhou one after another, and got off one after another, secretly assembling in the designated area.

After the team was assembled according to the establishment, the first thing to do was to eat, and it was good to work when they were full, and Li An and Li Yu and other senior leaders were not in a hurry to get off the train, they chose to eat in the dining car of the train, where the environment was better and more comfortable.

"Li Shilang, the whole army and horses have been prepared, and they are ready to set off at any time."

Guo Yang, the commander of the 1st Brigade of the ironclad artillery car, strode onto the train to report on the situation of the army.

"Don't worry, let the soldiers rest for a little longer."

Moreover, in order to prevent too much delay in eating, Li An has already ordered to go out to the army, and there are only two meals a day, which are when the camp is set up at night, and when the camp is pulled out in the morning, and they are additionally given dry food, if they have a large stomach and are really hungry, they will eat some dry food to satisfy their hunger, so as to ensure that the soldiers have enough physical strength to march.

In fact, the march does not consume much physical strength, after all, this team has achieved mechanization, and the consumption of physical strength is not the same order of magnitude as the march on foot and marching on foot, but in order to make the soldiers have a healthy body, sufficient food is still very necessary, in addition, it is uncomfortable to march hungry.

Li An took out the map that had been prepared, put it on the dining table, and said: "You see, this is Jishi Mountain, and the north is Dafeichuan, and now the main army of Tubo is gathered in Dafeichuan, ready to deal with the main force of our Tang army, and we must bypass Jishi Mountain from Minzhou and block the retreat of the main army of Tubo, so that we can completely defeat the Tubo army." ”

"Li Shilang, this is Shibao City, and it is the only way for the Tubo army to withdraw to the capital, so after our army attacks, we must capture Shibao City, so that the Tubo army will be cut off from supplies."

Guo Yan reminded calmly.

Li An nodded and said: "Lvshuai Guo is right, Shibao City must be taken, however, Tubo will definitely guard against our Tang Dynasty's sneak attack on their back road, so, on the route of our army's sneak attack, there will definitely be an ambush of the Tubo army, and even, there may be a large corps of more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, so our army must quickly defeat the enemy army after discovering it, or even annihilate it completely, and then quickly assault, without giving the Tubo army time to prepare." ”

When all the soldiers heard this, they all recognized Ang Lee's approach and expressed their full support.

A moment later, the army officially set off, and more than 1,000 vehicles of various types lined up in several straight lines, killing the back of the Tubo army.

Among them, the ironclad reconnaissance vehicle was at the forefront, keeping a distance of 15 miles from the main team, and reporting all kinds of situations found in a timely manner.

The vehicles of the Ironclad Artillery Brigade followed closely behind, leading the ranks, while a large number of logistical support vehicles were at the end, responsible for providing sufficient supplies of various supplies for the Ironclad Artillery Brigade.

There are many vehicles in this team, which makes the whole land tremble, but the population in Minzhou is not large, and the route of the vehicles is relatively hidden, and there are almost no people in sight, so it does not constitute much impact, that is, the soldiers themselves listen to it and enjoy it.

Datang's steel torrent advanced very quickly, almost an hour can cover the distance that ordinary troops have to travel in a day, the marching efficiency is not ordinarily high, and such a high marching speed will inevitably achieve the blitzkrieg envisioned by Li An.

"Li Shilang, I heard that Tubo is a bitter cold land, I don't know how it compares to Minzhou?"

Li Yu leaned out of the ironclad command car and found that there was a desolate scene all around, compared to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the environment in Minzhou was really bad.

Li An opened another opening, leaned out of the car, looked at the desolate scene around him, and said: "Tubo is a big country, the bitter cold land accounts for most of it, but there is also a small amount of anointed land, in addition, there are many lakes and beautiful scenery, it is a land worthy of my Datang." ”

"Most of them are bitter cold places, the Tubo people are really pitiful, looking at the whole world, I am still the best in the Tang Dynasty!"

Li Yu sighed proudly.

"Haha! Of course, my Datang is the largest country in the world and the first power in the world, and no country in the world can be compared with my Datang. ”

Ang Lee is also proud to be a Tang Dynasty child.

"Li Shilang, I heard that the capital of Tibet is very inconspicuous, and the only thing that can be seen is the Potala Palace built on the mountainside, which was specially built for Princess Wencheng of my Tang Dynasty, but this house built on the mountainside can be so magnificent, at most it is just a cave."

Li Yu mentioned Tubo, with a look of disdain, in his opinion, Tubo is a group of uncivilized savages, and it is not at the same level as the Tang Dynasty, of course, it is not only Li Yu who thinks so, the entire people of the Tang Dynasty almost all look at the Tubo people in this way.

"King Guangping is really good at describing, if the Tubo people hear it, I don't know how they will feel, but this is also a fact, the best house in Tubo is the Potala Palace built in the middle of the mountain, and the houses of the people of Pingming are basically all earthen houses and caves, and they are very backward?"

Li An agrees with Li Yu's point of view, after all, Luo Qi is really too poor, and Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is not on the same level at all.

"I really can't figure it out, Tubo is so backward and poor, it can defeat the Tang Dynasty many times, and even the famous Tang general Xue Rengui can be defeated in the hands of Tubo, it's too humiliating."

When Li Yu thought of Xue Rengui's army back then, defeated in the hands of Tubo in Dafeichuan, he felt angry in his heart, just like the Chinese people of later generations.

"King Guangping doesn't have to mind, that's all in the past, not now, not in the future, as for Tubo to defeat my Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, it is not how strong Tubo's combat power is, but because the altitude of Dafeichuan is too high, and the Tubo people are free to come and go there, and my Tang soldiers will be out of breath as soon as they arrive in Dafeichuan, and their combat effectiveness will be weakened by at least half, which will give Tubo a chance to take advantage of it and defeat my Tang soldiers and horses."

Ang Lee opened his mouth to explain.

"The altitude is too high, my Datang soldiers are out of breath? What is the altitude, will Dafeichuan really halve the combat power of my Datang soldiers? If so, will the main forces of our army be in danger? ”

Li Yu heard the new term, and at the same time, he didn't understand all the things that Li An said, so he was naturally very curious.

Li An was stunned for a moment, and explained: "The altitude is too high, that is, the terrain is too high, because the terrain is too high, people will be a little breathless when they stand on it, and the Tubo people have lived here for generations, and they are more adapted to the environment there, so they will not feel any discomfort, as for the main force of our army, the king of Guangping does not have to worry, even if the physical strength of our soldiers is weakened by half, it is by no means something that Tubo can defeat, this battle, my Tang Dynasty is bound to win." ”

"Oh, in this way, Xiao Wang is relieved, the altitude is too high, he can't breathe, will this really be the case?"

Li Yu answered, muttering in his mouth.

"King Quang Binh, get back to the car! Once you are on the battlefield, it will be very dangerous to show your head. ”

Li An retracted his head back into the ironclad command vehicle and asked Li Yu to retract his head as well.

Li Yu was also tired of standing, retracted his head into the car, and sat on a chair to rest.

"Li Shilang, the forward reconnaissance team sent a signal and found the Tubo sentry."

Guo Yang saw the signal from the front through the internal telescope and immediately reported.

"Order, capture the Tubo sentry alive, he must be alive, and after he is caught, he will be interrogated immediately."

Li An ordered cleanly.

"Yes, I understand."

Guo Yan responded and immediately issued a military order.

About two moments later, good news came from the front, the soldiers of the Datang reconnaissance team successfully captured the Tubo sentinels, and they were captured alive, and through some interrogation, they learned that there were 1,000 Tubo soldiers stationed at the checkpoint thirty miles ahead, in order to defend the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses from launching a surprise attack and cutting off their back road.

"Li Shilang, there are Tubo soldiers and horses stationed in front, it is an easy terrain to defend and difficult to attack, do you want to immediately order a strong attack?"

Guo Yan is full of confidence in the ironclad artillery truck under his command, no matter how easy it is to defend and difficult to attack, it can't stop the progress of the ironclad artillery car.

Li An thought for a moment and ordered: "The 1st Brigade of Ironclad Artillery Vehicles will immediately set off and launch an attack on the Tibetan defenders, and the 2nd Brigade of Ironclad Artillery Vehicles will follow up to support the 1st Artillery Brigade. ”

Guo Yang and several generals responded, left the ironclad command vehicle that Li An was riding, returned to his ironclad command car, and immediately increased his speed and launched an attack on the fortified place of the Tubo army in front of him.

"Li Shilang, let's also get closer, and see how my most elite ironclad artillery car in the Tang Dynasty teaches the Tibetan barbarians."

Li Yu was eager to try, thinking that it was too boring to hide behind, and it was the most interesting thing to see the Tang Dynasty soldiers in power.

"Okay, then we'll speed up and keep up, but when we get to the battlefield, King Guangping must not show his head!"

Li An opened his mouth to remind.

"Li Shilang rest assured, Xiao Wang will take care of himself, and there will be no danger."

Li Yu said busily.

"Pick up the speed and keep up."

Ang Lee immediately ordered, after all, Ang Lee didn't want to miss such a wonderful performance of destroying the enemy.

The Tang Ironclad Artillery Brigade, with lightning speed, rushed to the vicinity of the Tubo camp and immediately launched a surprise attack.

Although the sound of the ironclad artillery truck is very loud and can be heard from a long distance, most of the Tubo soldiers do not know what the noise in the distance is, let alone what the Datang ironclad artillery truck is, and even stretched out their heads and looked curiously at the steel torrent in the distance, until they found that the steel torrent on the opposite side was firing cannonballs and turning their bombers on their backs, they understood that this was the elite troops of the Tang Dynasty.

The response of the Tubo army was too slow, and by the time they reacted, most of them had been annihilated by the Tang Ironclad Artillery Brigade, and the few remaining soldiers were also powerless to resist and obediently became prisoners of the Tang Army.

The victory came too suddenly, too easily, and too quickly, and before Ang Lee and Li Yu could see the fierce scene, the battle was already over.

"Li Shilang, our army annihilated 600 enemy troops and captured 400 prisoners, and won a complete victory."

Guo Yan ran over excitedly to report.

"This battle is very good, very exciting, can the Tibetan soldiers and horses slip through the net?"

Li An is more concerned about whether the Tubo army has been annihilated, and whether there will be soldiers who have slipped through the net and run to report the news, so that the Tubo army behind will be prepared, which is naturally unfavorable to the Tang army.

"There are a few fish that have slipped through the net, but the lowly duty has already let the reconnaissance vehicle go to pursue it, and I believe it will definitely not be able to escape."

Guo Yan said confidently, after all, the ironclad reconnaissance vehicle is the fastest of all vehicles, two or three times faster than the cavalry, and it is not a problem to catch up with the few Tubo soldiers who fled.
