The firearms battalion is getting closer and closer to Songzhou. 35xs In this battle, Li Dongsheng was assigned to the account of Niu Jinda, the head of the Kuoshui Road March, because his station was not in Chang'an, so Li Dongsheng set off directly from Chang'an and rushed to Songzhou City in only ten days.

Hou Junji and Liu Lan's troops were still behind, and the Tang army's idea was to wait for the army to arrive and form a three-sided encirclement of Tubo. Because now more than 20 days have passed since the messenger came to report, and it is a mystery whether Songzhou City is still in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. This time the news came suddenly, Li Dongsheng took the firearms battalion and didn't even say goodbye to his family, so he led his troops to the battle.

When it was 100 miles away from Songzhou, the scouts of the firearms battalion and the Tubo scouts suddenly encountered, and the two sides fought fiercely, and the Tubo left the corpses of dozens of scouts, and the scouts of the firearms battalion also lost five people.

"It's really hard to deal with." Xi Junmai looked at the bandaged scout, frowned, and said to Li Dongsheng, "Through the skills of the scouts, it can be seen that they are all battle-hardened, and their riding skills are also very good, on par with the Turks. ”

Li Dongsheng nodded and said, "Well, generally emerging countries are vibrant, but they are still pitiful, and if they meet us, they are unlucky." ”

"That is, whoever encounters us like us has to plant, you see that we Han people are here, although the dynasty has changed a lot, but the surrounding ethnic groups have changed a lot."

"yes." Li Dongsheng sighed with emotion, "No matter what, we Han people have always been on the table, but the people who play cards have changed several times." Flash"

Through interrogation, Li Dongsheng they got a bad news, Songzhou Governor Han Wei failed to hold the city, three days before Niu Jinda was about to arrive, the Tubo soldiers captured Songzhou City, when they set foot on the head of Songzhou City, Han Wei abandoned the city and fled in the starry night, the word "abandon the city" is only two words, but behind it is the blood and tears of many people in Songzhou City, and the whole Songzhou does not know how many people will die. Invaded by the Tibetan soldiers, the burning, killing and looting, the property was plundered, the houses were burned, the women were raped, and they did not know that the tragedy was staged in this border city.

"Humble Li Dongsheng see the general!" Li Dong ascended to the Niu Jinda camp and met his boss.

Niu Jinda, who frowned, laughed when he saw Li Dongsheng, "I thought you were going to be a civil official, but now you are also a general, it seems that this military general is from a background, and he can't change it." Came so fast, the road was hard, right? ”

The subordinates and staff around were stunned, and their generals had never been smiling, but now they were so polite to a young man, and everyone made up their minds to get acquainted with each other.

"General Xie cares, it's not hard, and I ask the general to give an order." Although it has a good relationship with Niu Jinda, it is still necessary to pay attention to the top and bottom in the barracks.

"I heard that you have always been smart, you can analyze it." Niu Jinda was not polite to him, pulled Li Dongsheng to the map, and pointed out to him, "Originally, according to His Majesty's plan, it was an army of 50,000 to relieve the siege of Songzhou, but now the battle situation is completely different from the plan, Songzhou was occupied, so the strategic plan changed from relieving the siege to besieging the city, and recovering Songzhou at all costs." ”

Niu Jinda said, "The Tubo army has 200,000, even if there are not so many, now there are 100,000, we have too few people, and Hou Junji has not yet arrived, we only have 15,000 troops, and the troops to fight Songzhou are not enough." ”

Li Dongsheng looked at the map drawn by several lines in front of him, "This is a map?" ”

Niu Jinda was twisting his beard, and he was stunned when he heard the words, and his beard was also plucked out a few times, "What does Dongsheng mean by this?" ”

"This is too simple, just tell me that this is Songzhou, where are the mountains, where are the roads, where are the water sources, where are the people, there are no signs." Li Dongsheng said unhappily, "Didn't you tell Your Majesty the principles of map production a few years ago, why do you still use this after a few years?" ”

"A few years ago? How did I not know? "The general manager of the march has blown up" When Hou Junji comes, I must ask him what is going on? This is just too irresponsible. ”

Now the troops are thin, so they can only be stationed outside the city first and wait for the convergence of the two armies behind, and then everyone will discuss how to capture Songzhou City.

Niu Jinda first issued a clearance order, and thousands of cavalry began to sweep indiscriminately outside Songzhou City, as long as they encountered people who could not speak Chinese, they were all killed.

After another ten days, the other two armies also arrived, and the army from the northeast and south faced the city of Songzhou with the method of encircling three ques, except to let go of the west city and wait for them to come out before ambushing it.

The first thing the three chief managers did was to worship the people who were killed after the city was broken, and they swore a poisonous oath in front of the soldiers of the three armies that they must return the number of people slaughtered by Tubo to ten times or a hundred times, otherwise the gods will not bless them, and the sky will be thundered. All the soldiers were angry, since the Weishui Alliance, Datang had not suffered such a big loss for a long time. This war has become a national war to wash away the shame.

Songzhou City is also a big city, because it is in the border area, it is directly facing the enemy, so it is also built tall and majestic, I don't know how Han Wei, a fool, lost him in just a few days.

The head of Songzhou City is full of dense Tubo soldiers, all of them are dressed in strange short shirts of various colors, showing their bare arms, and some of them are also wearing sheepskin robes, they look like a group of barbarians, and the weapons in their hands are also various, there is no unified system, knives, forks, swords, halberds, and even some people are holding agricultural rakes and wooden sticks, which look like a group of rabble.

Xi Junmai squinted and said, "Is it this group of prodigal goods that can actually attack Songzhou?" ”

"It was Han Wei who underestimated the enemy himself, did not stick to the city, and took 3,000 people to attack the Tubo camp, and then ran away after being defeated. It is tantamount to losing a city in vain. It was Niu Jinda's staff who spoke, and he knew Li Dongsheng's origin, so he came to show goodwill.

"Three thousand against two hundred thousand? Is his head full of? The people around him looked at the staff member in disbelief.

"Really, it was said by someone who escaped from Songzhou City." The staff whispered, "Now the army is in a dilemma, the soldiers are in a cloud, five are encircled, ten are attacked, and now our attacking army is only twenty percent of them, how can this battle be fought?" ”

At this time, there was movement on the head of the city, a tall man walked to the city wall, when he saw him, all the soldiers of Tubo raised their weapons and cheered, Li Dongsheng looked at it quietly, Daniel Zhang said, "Young master, this guy seems to be not much shorter than me, I don't know who is more powerful than me?" ”

I saw that guy, pressed his hand down, and a person next to him handed over a bow, he put the arrow on it, and an arrow shot in the direction of Li Dongsheng and them, Xi Junmai's eyes were sharp, "My lord, there seems to be something on that arrow." ”

After the arrow landed, someone went to pick up the arrow and handed it to Niu Jinda, he opened it and looked, his eyes were red, Hou Junji and Zhi lost their thinking and stretched their heads to take a look, only to see that it was written "I have come to attack, only for the princess, if you don't marry the princess." I should mention a million male soldiers and go to Chang'an to marry the princess in person! WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and finds confidants~
