Chapter 452: Too Waste (Three Shifts)
What Zhang Jianghe didn't expect was that in this city, Tuyuhun ambushed 15,000 soldiers and horses.
Moreover, they prepared for ten days in the city, making too many traps and city defense equipment.
If they wanted to, they could use these traps they had set to eat the 5,000 Tibetan pioneers trapped in a very short time.
But they didn't.
And this is exactly the cleverness of Murong Xiaojun, the master of Tuyuhun State.
He had already judged that the Tibetans would not be willing to give up the 5,000 soldiers and horses without knowing their true strength.
Then, they will be able to make good use of this city and maximize the killing and wounding of Tubo's troops.
And by the time they really reflected, it was too late to leave.
This strategy can be said to be a variant of encirclement and reinforcement.
Soon after entering the city, the 5,000 Tibetan vanguard troops in the city fell into many traps, and after being shot twice, they suffered heavy casualties, more than half of them.
Five thousand soldiers were sent out of the city to surround them, but they did not storm them.
In this way, the more than 2,000 Tibetan vanguard soldiers felt fear, but they had a glimmer of life in their hearts, and they were waiting for the army outside the city to come and save them.
And Tuyuhun kept launching small-scale rushing and killing, but he didn't kill them all, but outside the city, he could really hear the sound of fighting.
This made Zhang Jianghe reluctant to leave.
Because they can feel that the war in the city is still scorching.
If they break through the city quickly, they will be able to save them.
And it was this illusion that dragged Zhang Jianghe for most of the day.
For most of the day, Zhang Jianghe kept looking for the weak points of the city and constantly launched attacks.
But it was a long time to take it, and the opponent's defenders were always able to defend tenaciously.
And the sound of fighting in the city has never stopped.
This also made Zhang Jianghe reluctant to leave.
And it wasn't until dusk and the sky was about to darken that Zhang Jianghe suddenly discovered that something was wrong!
He led the army to attack for most of the day, but he did not capture the city.
And the 5,000 vanguard army in the city has actually held out until now?
They were not killed, nor did they break through the opponent's defenses and open the city gates?
Where is such a coincidence?
If there is, it must be deliberate!
Thinking of this, Zhang Jianghe suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
Because he thought of a possibility.
It is very likely that their long-term drive at the beginning was deliberately let in by the other party.
And this city is a trap set by the other party.
If this is the case, then the 50,000 troops he brought will be in great danger!
Thinking of this, where does Zhang Jianghe dare to hesitate?
Quickly gather forces and evacuate decisively.
On a nearby mountain, Murong Xiaojun, the national teacher of Tuyuhun, calmly watched the war under the mountain.
Seeing Zhang Jianghe's decisive retreat, Murong Xiaojun also expressed great appreciation.
A strong man who can be so decisive breaks his wrist, this Tubo national teacher Zhang Jianghe is indeed a character.
But, now that you're leaving, don't you realize it's too late?
In fact, when they came to the city, they had already stepped into their trap.
Even if they felt that something was wrong at that time and immediately retreated, it was already too late.
The difference is that the longer they stay, the better the setup on their side.
Now that Zhang Jianghe has led the remaining Tibetan army to retreat, there is no need to continue to keep the more than 2,000 Tibetan vanguard troops left in the city.
Murong Xiaojun gave an order, and the 15,000 Tuyuhun soldiers in the city immediately surrounded them, and soon ate the 2,000 Tubo vanguard army.
It wiped out the 5,000-strong army of Tibet in one fell swoop, which can be said to have dealt a serious blow to the arrogance of Tibet.
And that's just an appetizer.
Next, Murong Xiaojun activated all the traps he had set and opened an ambush on all sides.
……
Zhang Jianghe led the remaining 40,000 Tibetan troops, and on the way to retreat, they were ambushed by various Tibetans along the way.
Or when passing through the dense forest, you are attacked by a bow and arrow.
Or when passing through the mountain road, you are attacked by the other party's rolling stones.
Passing through the swamp, you will be assassinated by the other party.
In just 20 miles, the Tibetan army suffered no less than ten ambushes, killing and wounding thousands of people.
And Zhang Jianghe didn't dare to fight, every time he threw a corpse on the ground and retreated in a hurry.
Looking at Tuyuhun's ambush, it has been prepared for at least five days.
In other words, Tuyuhun already knew that they were coming to invade, and they had already set traps and waited for them to jump down.
Now, Zhang Jianghe only hopes that he can lead the army to retreat.
After more than twenty miles of travel, they finally came to the city they had taken.
When they came under the gates, they found them closed.
One of Zhang Jianghe's subordinates shouted at the defenders on the city wall: "The military division is back, why don't you open the city gate quickly!" ”
But when he saw the defenders on the city wall, he glanced down lazily, and then when they approached the city gate, he waved his hand.
Suddenly a rain of arrows flew down from the city walls.
The Tibetan army, which was caught off guard, was immediately killed and wounded.
This sudden scene suddenly made the generals of Tubo furious, and when they were about to get angry, they were stopped by Zhang Jianghe, the national teacher of Tubo.
Zhang Jianghe immediately ordered: "Retreat, this city has changed hands!" ”
The Tibetan soldiers could only retreat quickly.
And Zhang Jianghe knew in his heart that not only this city, but also all the cities they took had already changed hands.
And the defenders he left behind, totaling almost 5,000, were also lost to the enemy.
The 50,000 army he brought out was removed from 10,000 at once, and now there are only more than 40,000 troops left.
……
At night, the news was passed to Li Su.
This time, it's really thanks to Lotto.
If it weren't for Xiaocai, the news really wouldn't have been delivered so quickly.
After getting this information, Li Su couldn't help frowning slightly.
This Tuyuhun national teacher is indeed vicious and abnormal.
According to the trap he designed, I am afraid that it will be difficult for Zhang Jianghe's 40,000 troops to escape.
Of course, Li Su was not ready to let them escape, but since he came, he didn't want to leave.
The point is, you can't be so wasteful!
If these 40,000 troops are wiped out, at the very least, they will also inflict heavy losses on Tuyuhun!
If you can't even inflict a heavy blow on Tuyuhun, wouldn't it be worthless to die?
Eh, if the Tubo National Teacher knew that they were directly calculated to death by the King of Shu, I don't know if they would vomit three liters of blood on the spot?
Therefore, Li Su made a bold decision, that is, to go to the scene in person and introduce the remote control of the entire battlefield.
