Chapter 451: A dilemma

Li Su paid attention to the war between Tubo and Tuyuhun every day.

Now, the Tibetans have invaded the territory of Tuyuhun.

Tuyuhun has already prepared an ambush and is waiting for Yin Tubo.

At this point, even if both sides know that they are calculated, there is no possibility of stopping.

The so-called arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent, which is exactly this reason.

At this time, Li Su also had to admire the cold-blooded ruthlessness of Tuyuhun's Khan Fu Yun and the national teacher Murong Xiaojun.

In order to win the war, the people on their frontier were all ruthlessly abandoned by them.

For three consecutive days, hundreds of people were slaughtered every day in Tuyuhun.

But Tuyuhun has not moved.

Three days later, Zhang Jianghe, the commander of the Tibetan state, sent 5,000 vanguard troops to attack the first city of Tuyuhun.

As a result, they easily stormed the city.

This time, they didn't go on a killing spree.

After all, after taking Tuyuhun, they also need these herdsmen to graze.

The previous massacres were just for fear of leaking the news.

And now, it is impossible to block the news.

It's just that now that Tuyuhun has learned the news, it is too late.

Now Tuyuhun, I'm afraid that he is still at war with Datang, right?

By the time they reflected, the entire Tuyuhun had almost fallen into their hands.

Next, they went on a frantic offensive.

All the way is unstoppable.

In one day, more than ten cities were connected.

Because they attacked suddenly, they did not meet the slightest resistance.

The offensive went smoothly, and it was a little beyond Zhang Jianghe's imagination.

Zhang Jianghe faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think of anything wrong.

Their plan was perfect.

Judging from the information they obtained, everything was fine, and there should be no accidents.

Well, at this time, he didn't expect that they Tubo and Tuyuhun were actually just pawns of the King of Shu.

Their every move is under the control of the King of Shu.

……

Because the strength of Tubo is far beyond that of Tuyuhun.

Therefore, every time he attacked the next city, Zhang Jianghe would leave people to stay behind.

In this way, after they take down the entire Tuyuhun, they will be able to smoothly control the entire Tuyuhun.

It is precisely because of the continuous division of troops that their soldiers are becoming fewer and fewer.

But Zhang Jianghe is not afraid of this, because the total number of soldiers and horses in Tibet is probably tens of thousands.

And the combat effectiveness is still uneven.

What's more, they still have a considerable part of their troops, and they are fighting against Datang, and they can't withdraw at all.

Well, with the troops he is leading now, it is completely more than enough to destroy a Tuyuhun.

In the past two days, the Tibetan attacks have been overwhelming.

And every time they conquered a city, they would block the news, and no one would be allowed to leave the city.

Because the speed of their exploits was so fast, that until now, the defenders of Tuyuhun City in front of them had not even had time to react.

No, on this day, the vanguard army of Tubo, with 5,000 soldiers, quickly attacked the city before the defenders of Tuyuhun City in front of them could react.

Behind, the national teacher Zhang Jianghe commanded the army and was preparing to enter the city, but unexpectedly, the city gate in front of him suddenly closed at this time.

Not good!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Jianghe couldn't help but gasp.

Ahead, their 5,000 vanguard army had just rushed into the city, how could it be possible to close the city gates now?

This must have been the keeper of the city.

However, how many soldiers are there in the whole Tuyuhun?

How many defenders can there be in a mere city? How could it be an opponent of their 5,000-strong vanguard army?

Unless, one of them is in ambush!

But their speed was so fast, how could Tuyuhun react so quickly and set up an ambush here?

A bad premonition suddenly spread in Zhang Jianghe's heart.

Quick, siege! Pick them up.

Zhang Jianghe's first reaction was to rescue the 5,000 vanguard troops in the city.

The vanguard army of 5,000 people must not be left here for nothing.

Zhang Jianghe gave an order, and the Tubo army immediately launched an attack on the city.

However, they were greeted by an overwhelming attack of bows and arrows.

These Tibetan soldiers besieging the city were defenseless against this, and they didn't even raise their shields.

Under this round of bow and arrow attacks, they immediately suffered heavy casualties.

The national teacher Zhang Jianghe had to temporarily withdraw his men back, and then reorganize his soldiers to attack the city.

Attacking fortified cities has never been the strong point of the Tibetan soldiers, and this time, they did not carry large siege weapons.

Of course, there are some of those relatively rudimentary siege equipment.

In contrast, in fact, the city of Tuyuhun is also quite simple in architecture.

The two sides are opposed, that is half a catty and eight taels.

But this time, the Tibetan soldiers were greeted with hot oil.

These hot oils were poured on the bodies of the soldiers who besieged the city and Tibet, and immediately burned them on a large area.

There were terrible screams from the scene, and there was a smell of burnt meat.

The offensive of the Tibetan soldiers was blocked by the sudden pouring of hot oil, and the offensive could not help but stop.

And the next thing to greet them was rolling wood.

Under the continuous attack of the soldiers defending the city, the Tibetan soldiers who besieged the city suffered heavy losses.

In less than half an hour, thousands of people were killed and wounded.

And they have been in the palace for so long, and they have not killed or injured so many people.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhang Jianghe hurriedly withdrew the soldiers.

Could it be that Tuyuhun has already been prepared?

However, there are still 5,000 of our vanguard troops in the city, and the sound of the battle can still be heard.

And in Tuyuhun City, there are still enough soldiers guarding the city.

How many soldiers did they ambush in the city?

For a while, a faint chill rose in Zhang Jianghe's heart, and he always felt that something was wrong.

An instinctive voice made Zhang Jianghe retreat immediately at this time.

But at this time, Zhang Jianghe was really unwilling to give up the five thousand soldiers in the city.

Because how many soldiers and horses are there in the whole Tuyuhun?

Their current soldiers and horses, even if they fight with Tuyuhun with the strength of the country, they will not fall behind.

He didn't believe that all the troops of Tuyuhun were gathered here.

Well, the only thing Zhang Jianghe didn't take into account was that he didn't consider the geographical advantages of both sides.

Now they are deep into the enemy's interior and drive straight in.

And Tuyuhun is fighting in his own country, which can be said to have taken advantage of the right time, place and people.

Because of a moment of hesitation, Zhang Jianghe did not choose to retreat immediately.

Instead, they sent soldiers to surround the city and put pressure on the defenders of the city, so that they could not deal with the 5,000 vanguard troops trapped in the city.
