Nima shook his head and interjected behind Raba, "General, the color of the armor and clothing of the army and horses of the people ♀ who are not from Hexi Ge Shuhan is obviously different from that of the Hexi army...... Looking at this posture, it should still be the Longshuo Army! ”

Raba suddenly looked back at Nima and said in a deep voice, "However, the main force of the Longshuo army is currently on the front line of Jishi Mountain, preparing for a decisive battle with the army of King Stanley, and Li Guangbi led an army of 40,000 to slowly drive north of Baihai, this news cannot be wrong." But where did this Don army come from? ”

Nima smiled bitterly and said in her heart: No matter which way the Tang army is, anyway, it is the military horse of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang army is pressing, how can a mere triangle city be able to defend it! Today's plan, if you don't quickly lead the army to withdraw from the triangle city and ask for help from the Shaliuhe, what are you waiting for?

"General, the last general thinks that we should quickly withdraw from the triangle city and return to the Shaliu River to join forces with Lord Gyatso to fight against the Tang army. The Tang army is strong, our army is outnumbered, and the triangle city can't hold it at all! ”

"The worst thing is that you should retreat to Wuhai and join the samba of Wuhai." Nima raised her hand a little anxiously and pointed to the Tang army team that was winding and approaching, and the faces of the Tang soldiers marching on the snow became more and more recognizable.

"General, if you don't withdraw, it'll be too late." Nima said hurriedly.

Raba's face was gloomy and he sneered, "Look at it like this, it's just 10,000 people. Our army is four thousand, plus the private army slaves of the various families in the city, and it is not a problem to gather a team of seven or eight thousand. With my mighty iron cavalry, can't I still be able to defeat these rabble of the Tang Army who came from afar? ”

"The general has already spread the word that Wuhai Ba is wrong, at this moment, Samba is on the way to help the triangle city, as long as we hold on for a few hours, the reinforcements can arrive. At that time, I will gather nearly 10,000 people in my two divisions, and what are you afraid of the Tang Army? ”

"Besides, Lord Gyatso will definitely lead a large army to reinforce him immediately, so it is better to take this opportunity to cut off the back road of the Tang army and let them come and go!"

Raba sneered and said loudly, waving his hand suddenly, "Quickly go and pass on the general's order, gather the private soldiers of all serfs in the city to escort them, and defend the city with our army and wait for reinforcements!" If the Tang army does not know the current affairs and insists on attacking the triangle city, then the general should lead the army out of the city and destroy this group of Tang barbarians! ”

Nima's heart trembled, but she did not dare to refute Raba's words, so she hurried down the tower, and led her soldiers to temporarily gather the serfs and private soldiers of each family, and strive to gather a contingent of several thousand people in the shortest possible time.

Raba looked at Nima's departing back, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but then a fierce arc rose again.

It's not that he doesn't want to evacuate the triangle city, it's just that without Gyatso's military order, he retreats without a fight, and he will definitely be condemned by Gyatso. Gyatso was ruthless and self-serving, and if Raba gave up the Triangle City to the Tang Army, Gyatso would definitely not be able to spare him.

Rather than this, it is better to fight to the death with the Tang army and wait for help.

At most, if you hold on for one day, whether it is Sambaco in Wuhai or Gyatso in Shaliuhe, they will lead the army to rush over and gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of Gyatso's department.

This is the true state of mind of Raba.

This has a lot to do with the fact that he despises the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army in his heart. He had been under Gyatso for many years and had fought dozens of times with the Hexi Army of the Tang Dynasty, and in his eyes, the Tang Army was nothing more than a bluffing paper tiger, not an opponent of the Tibetan Iron Cavalry at all.

Because Triangle City is built on a plateau oasis, surrounded by barren and empty desert land. Therefore, although the Tubo soldiers found traces of the Tang army's march on the city tower, in fact, the Tang army was still a long distance away from the triangle city, more than ten miles away.

According to Zhang Xuan's military order, the more than 10,000 men and horses belonging to Zhang Tong of Shancheng Wei arrived at the east side of the Triangle City and camped on the spot to form a deterrent to the Triangle City, and then stood by on the spot, waiting for Zhang Xuan's main force to come and converge.

Zhang Xuan's original intention was to use Zhang Tong's military horses as bait to attract all the main forces of Gyatso's army to the Triangle City, and then surround and annihilate it. The reason why he stayed in Feichuan Fort to rest for a day was nothing more than to leave time for the Gyatso Ministry to send troops to reinforce the triangle city.

Zhang Xuan knew in his heart that the Tubo defenders in the triangle city were only a few thousand, and he resolutely did not dare to go out of the city easily to fight against Zhang Tong's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, so he could only hold on and wait for help.

The reason why he chose to fight the decisive battle with Gyatso in the Triangle City was because the city was small and difficult to hold.

Compared with the towering and tall cities of the Tang Dynasty, most of the cities in Tubo are simple small cities and low cities, and there is no trace of comparison. The triangle city is the smaller one in the Tubo city again, it is rectangular, made of plateau gravel stacked, the two ends are about a thousand meters wide, about two or three miles long, and the city wall is only seven or eight meters high.

The "defensive performance" of such a small city itself is extremely poor, and if the Tang army storms, it will be difficult to hold the Tubo army, no matter how strong the Tubo soldiers are.

……

……

Zhang Tong is the commander of the Tang army in the two states and one city of the Tang Dynasty east of Chiling, and is the fourth-rank official, and is the maiden family of Li Heng and Zhang Liangdi, and is also one of Zhang Liangdi's cousins.

After Zhang Tong received Zhang Xuan's military order, he quickly marched in the direction of the Triangle City, braved the snow for a day and night, and finally arrived at the bitter spring east of the Triangle City. According to the military order, he should have led the army to camp on the spot and wait for the arrival of the main force, but when he saw that the Triangle City not far away was such a small city, and there were only thousands of Tibetan defenders in the city, Zhang Tong's mind was a little active.

He was originally stationed on the front line of Hejiao, because Li Guangbi led the army into Hejiao, established the Hejiao Governor's Mansion and developed the hometown of Tuyuhun, and his military horses were transferred to Shanzhou by Zhang Xuan.

The Longshuo army defeated Tubo one after another, and many generals Zuo Yingong was promoted to his wife and son, and even Li Guangbi, who Zhang Tong had always looked down on, was made a marquis by the imperial court, becoming the third real power faction in the Longshuo army after Zhang Xuan and Feng Chong, and Guo Ziyi was on an equal footing∨ and he was eager to fight with Tubo and obtain military achievements.

Zhang Tong straddled his horse and looked at the triangle city not far away, his eyes flickering.

From his direction and distance, Triangle City looked like a city at all, more like a miniature fortress. He raised his eyebrows, and said secretly in his heart: Why did Zhang Xuan let Lao Tzu stay put? Such a small city, a land of projectiles, Lao Tzu's 10,000 people took it with a raise of their hands, what are you waiting for?

When the army arrived, I am afraid that the Tibetans would have fled without a fight.

Zhang Tong calculated that such a small city, if his 10,000 soldiers and horses outflanked the city and attacked it, it would be easy to take it. Why don't you take advantage of the situation to attack, take this small city, and reap the military merits of winning this battle!

At that time, let Zhang Xuan and Guo Ziyi's Lingzhou Wei see that the Shanzhou Weijun is not a vegetarian.

The more Zhang Tong thought about it, the more excited he became, in his opinion, the small city of Tubo in front of him was simply the supreme military merit and glory given to him by God, and he could get it with a single effort.

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly shouted the order, "Pass on the military order, speed up the march, advance quickly, and surround the triangle city!" ”

Sima Zhao Xun, the marching soldier beside him, was startled, and hurriedly hugged his fists on the horse, "My lord, the military order of the king of Pingxi is to let our army camp on the spot and stand by, not to attack the city......"

Zhang Tong glanced at Zhao Xun coldly, and said lightly, "The military situation is changing rapidly, and the fighter plane is fleeting. The so-called generals are not subject to the orders of the kings outside, and such a small city, with the strength of our army, can be taken and occupied in less than an hour. If you wait here and wait for the Tibetan reinforcements to arrive, if you want to take the triangle again, you will have to pay huge casualties! ”

"Well, needless to say, this official has his own opinions. Our army took the Triangle City and made a contribution to the king of Pingxi, and the court will also be rewarded! After speaking, Zhang Tong galloped first.

Zhao Xun frowned and sighed lightly. Although he was extremely opposed to Zhang Tong violating Zhang Xuan's military order and using troops without authorization, Zhang Tong was a Shangguan and a chief general, and he was a relative of the emperor of the dynasty, so he did not dare to say anything.

……

……

Zhang Tong led a large army to besiege the city, and 10,000 soldiers and horses rushed in, and it didn't take long to surround the triangle city.

If Guo Ziyi or Li Guangbi were here, they would definitely reprimand Zhang Tong for not using the way of soldiers, if he really wanted to take advantage of the situation to take the Triangle City, he should not besiege the city, but should concentrate his forces to choose a breakthrough and attack it, so as to achieve results. And with such a dispersed force, the Tang army came from afar, tired and sleepy, if the Tubo cavalry seized the opportunity to rush out of the city, it would definitely be defeated.

Sometimes, a large number of people does not necessarily mean an advantage. Otherwise, there would be no example of winning more with less.

Zhang Tong triumphantly rode in front of the battle, and ordered more than 100 soldiers to scold in unison, forcing Tubo to surrender out of the city.

Raba and his subordinate Zuo stood on top of the city tower with a gloomy face, looking at the formation of the Tang army surrounding the city, and gritted his teeth. He didn't expect that the Tang army would come from afar and besiege the city without resting, which directly disrupted his plan to delay time and wait for reinforcements.

Nima held the scimitar restlessly, and her palms were sweaty.

Raba leaned down to look at the Tang soldiers who were scolding loudly not far outside the city, and Zhang Tong, the main general of the Tang Army, who was surrounded by a group of guards under the high flying military flag, and suddenly sneered.

He raised his finger and pointed to the grain center of Zhang Tong's army on the easternmost side, and shouted in a low voice, "Everyone, order all the soldiers and horses, order the serfs and private soldiers to go ahead, our army swears to rush out of the city, protrude from the east gate, kill a hole, first go to burn the grain and grass of the Tang army, cut off its back road, and then turn back to the northwest and join the Wuhai reinforcements!" ”

"Kill out, only the Tubo men who died in battle did not surrender to save their lives!"

Raba pulled out his glittering scimitar with a roar, struggled to cut off the flagpole of the Tibetan army on the city tower, and then strode down the city tower with all the generals.

……

……

In the midst of the Tang army's shouting and scolding, the gate of the Triangle City suddenly opened.

A proud smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Tong's mouth, and he said that the Tibetan defenders couldn't bear the surrender of Kaecheng. The reason why he besieged but did not attack was nothing more than to let the Tubo people surrender without a fight and take the Triangle City at the lowest cost.
