Lu Dongzan looked at the Tang army that had already lined up in battle, and could only announce the withdrawal of the troops, and the overnight efforts were in vain, he felt that he needed to re-understand the strength of the Tang Dynasty before the fight.

"Boss, Tubo has withdrawn, should we chase and kill them without leaving a piece of armor?"

"Mingjin collected the troops and asked the soldiers to go to sleep in batches. In addition, you took 5,000 people to pick up the chief cow, but they didn't come back overnight, and the chief manager was afraid that something would happen to them. ”

Hou Junji said tiredly, if something happened to Niu Jinda, it would definitely be a huge blow to morale.

Who is Niu Jinda, who has been fighting for so many years, how could a night attack kill him?

What's more, the Tubo came to attack the Tang army, the base camp was naturally relaxed, even the sentries were perfunctory, Niu Jinda launched a surprise attack in the early hours of the morning, a burst of killing, set fire and left, and at this time the soldiers of Tubo woke up from their sleep, and some people have not yet found their own knives in that position.

Looking at the skyrocketing fire, he could only discard the weapon in his hand in the angry shouts of the general and go to extinguish the fire and save the food.

The surprise attack troops of the two sides met in the middle of the road, and directly fought their weapons, this was a hard battle, killing rivers of blood, the sky was dark, and there were broken corpses and broken weapons everywhere.

Otherwise, Dian Li rushed with 2,000 people to support Niu Jindake, and the whole army would have been annihilated, and the 5,000 people who followed formed a flanking attack, and barely forced back Lu Dongzan's 20,000 army.

When Niu Jinda and his subordinates converged with the people who came to support, there were only more than 700 people left around him, and the casualties were too tragic, and there was no good fruit to eat on both sides of the first test, and a large amount of grain was burned in Tibet, but the Tang army killed more people, and it can only be said that both sides were defeated.

Niu Jinda had four wounds on his body, and the blood was terrible, but he walked steadily with every step until he entered Hou Junji's tent and fell to the ground with a soft foot.

The military doctor hurriedly bandaged and stitched up his wounds, Niu Jinda grinned and didn't care about the pain on his body at all, and said to Hou Junji: "Terrible opponent! It is worthy of the overlord who conquered the entire plateau in a broken time, and their soldiers are not weaker than us at all, if they have to say that they are inferior to us, that is, their weapons are inferior to ours,"

Niu Jinda said solemnly, there are other people here, and he didn't say something, that is, Tubo's physique is much stronger than Tang Jun's, which has a lot to do with the living environment.

"Hmph, let's fight! Who have we feared about war? Hou Junji sent the wine and meat to Niu Jinda, grinning and saying excitedly.

They are not Cai Cong, and they would rather go to the slaughter of the city in order to die one less soldier. What they pursue is to kneel down and beg for mercy with the enemy they fight in battle, and to achieve the goal of subjugating the enemy with bloody and condensed terror.

Niu Jinda bit the piece of meat hard, and let out a cruel smile, he was much more terrible than Hou Junji in terms of ferocity.

"No matter what, burning the enemy's grain and grass can be regarded as a victory in the first battle, let's send it to Chang'an!"

Hou Junji said calmly, thousands of people died on both sides of the first battle, which is not a draw for Datang, if it is not for burning the enemy's grain and grass, it will be a complete loss, you must know that Datang's best is to win more with less.

And in the military camp of Tubo, Lu Dongzan is also uncomfortable, although the rescue is timely, but also lost 200,000 troops, a month's grain, this is a huge loss, now the Tang army is in front, they can no longer wantonly plunder Tuyuhun's grain, this loss is too heavy.

"Da Lun, what should we do, the food is only enough to eat for two months, and the food from Zampu's side doesn't know when it will be delivered, or the general will take people to rob the nearby tribes, right?"

"No, if you do this, the nearby tribes will take refuge in the Tang Dynasty, which is very unfavorable to us, pass on my order, no one is allowed to go to the grass valley." Those who disobey the order ~ kill without mercy. ”

Lu Dongzan said sternly, majestically glanced at all his subordinates, the group of people under him are unruly, and their heads are impulsive when they are hot, if he doesn't give the order to die, maybe someone will lead troops to loot the nearby tribes tonight.

"Da Lun, are we still afraid that the Tang Army will not be able to get the help of these small tribes? We have 200,000 male troops, and killing them is like killing a snow hare, so why can't we rob them? ”

Lu Dongzan's subordinates, a general who was more than two meters tall and as strong as a wall, slapped the table and roared loudly at him.

Lu Dongzan narrowed his eyes and looked at him calmly with cold eyes. The murderous general was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to make any move.

"Do you know what to do?"

Lu Dongzan said lightly, the giant man nodded in a cold sweat, and shuddered to draw the dagger and cut off the tail finger of his left hand.

"Get out!"

Lu Dongzan didn't raise his eyelids, just spit out a word, and the giant general didn't even dare to pick it up with his fingers, and crawled out of the tent.

"Stand down, too!"

Lu Dongzan said helplessly, looking at this group of subordinates, he was haggard, the unity of Tibet is based on Zampu's personal charm, as well as his strong assistance, but the system and law of Tibet are in the stage of transition from barbarism to civilization, so he will be disgusted with these martial artists who are powerful and have grass in their heads.

If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have thought about marrying a princess from the Tang Dynasty and going back, the princess is not the point at all, the important thing is the book allusions and craftsman skills of the marriage.

This is the purpose of the war between him and Songtsen Gampo, it is best to win, and when the time comes, Datang will take Ren Yu, even if they lose, they must let Datang know how powerful they are, only in this way can Datang give in and be friendly.

"Someone came, sent troops to report to Zampu, said that the grain and grass had been burned, and asked him to raise a batch of grain and send it. In addition~ all the generals who were on duty last night were killed. ”

Lu Dongzan thought about it and said, it can't be said that there is still food, otherwise those remaining nobles on the plateau will refrain from giving food, only by saying that there is no food, Songtsan Gampo will go down to raise food, so that the means can deter those nobles.

Thinking of this, he is even more greedy for the complete system of the Tang Dynasty and the highly centralized imperial power, you must know that this is the valuable experience of the Central Plains inherited for thousands of years, which makes him extremely greedy!

However, this will make Li Shimin, who he is extremely envious, thunderous, and the news from Lingnan shocked the government and the opposition, a county town of nearly 10,000 people died and fled, none of the 160 officers and soldiers of the Criminal Department survived, Fusang Songwen had no news, and the face of the imperial court was completely lost.

"How could the Tang Dynasty have been so embarrassed when it came to the country? Where is my face placed, what kind of supreme is it, and all nations are coming to court? ”

Li Shimin roared and threw Feng An's recital to the hall, the roaring sound echoed in the main hall, and the ministers were silent, and no one dared to speak.
