Hearing Li Qing's order, Mu Fan did not issue an order to attack, but led the remaining more than 600 Jianmen soldiers to guard Li Qing's side, quietly observing the battle not far away. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

With 3,000 elite soldiers and horses of Hanzhou against 500 remnants of Tibet, one side has just returned from a great victory, and the other side is throwing away its armor and abandoning its armor, without fighting spirit, even if the war is not over, but anyone with a discerning eye can guess the outcome of this war, it is obvious that it is a unilateral massacre without accident.

But in half an hour, all 500 people died on the spot, looking at the generals of the various armies who had inspired a vicious battle, all covered in blood and excited, Li Qing pointed to the Tubo Garrison Town in front of him, looked at the surrounding army generals and said: "At this moment, the Qinling Tomb is in the city, do you have a way to break through this town?" ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at the not grand garrison in front of them, and frowned, although there were 4,000 soldiers and horses in this pursuit, compared to the remnants of the defeated soldiers in the city at this moment, the number of people had completely formed a crushing trend.

But at this moment, most of the troops who came to pursue were cavalry, and in order to pursue the speed of the march, they did not even bring the simplest baggage, not to mention the siege equipment, so although the Tang army was large at this moment, they could only look at the city and sigh.

The generals of the various armies glanced at each other, and after a moment of hesitation, the commander of Hanzhou said: "Your Highness, although the defensive measures of this town are not perfect, but at this moment, our army really has no siege equipment, most of them are cavalry, if you rashly attack the city at this moment, I am afraid that it will become a live target for the Tubo soldiers in the city!" ”

After the Hanzhou chief general finished speaking, the deputy general of Maozhou and others standing next to Li Qing nodded, obviously agreeing with the analysis of the Hanzhou general. After all, at this moment, in order to arrest the generals of the Qinling Army, it can be said that they have all taken out the elite troops of the lineage at the bottom of the box.

Not to mention anything else, only tonight I felt the battlefield of Hanzhou soldiers and horses, this time came to reinforce the battle of Songzhou Hanzhou 5,000 soldiers and horses, 3,000 cavalry, 2,000 infantry, this time in order not to let the infantry lag behind, the Hanzhou commander directly ordered 2,000 infantry to rest in place, and he took the most elite 3,000 cavalry to pursue in person!

If the 3,000 elite cavalry that he had worked so hard to accumulate this time were lost in vain in this unknown garrison town. I'm afraid that the soldiers and horses in Hanzhou have no place to cry! After all, most of the people present were the main generals of the border army, and they naturally knew that the training of cavalry was several times higher in terms of cost and time!

Moreover, the terrain of Sichuan and Shu is special, which is not suitable for the play of cavalry, so that cavalry is even more scarce. Rare things are precious, and these lords all regard the cavalry in their hands as very precious!

Although all the main generals frowned, none of them spoke out to persuade Li Qing to withdraw his troops, after all, the Qinling Tomb was in front of him, and if he was so arrogant and hasty to withdraw everyone, it would naturally be difficult to get over the face. After all, even if you look at the generals present in Jiannan Dao are all people with heads and faces, if you don't capture the Qinling with nearly 5,000 soldiers and horses tonight, I'm afraid everyone will be embarrassed to mix in Jiannan Dao in the future.

Moreover, everyone understands what a great merit it is to capture the commander of the enemy army, although many of the people present have experienced a lot of battles as border generals, but a monstrous credit like today is placed in front of them, but it has never been there, and besides, mixed with their high position, ordinary money can no longer shake their hearts. The only thing that can attract them is military merit, and the greater the military merit, the greater the temptation for them!

Now, under the many plans of King Shou, such an opportunity finally appeared, and His Royal Highness King Shou has long said: Never take military merits, the implication, that is to say, what kind of credit can be won in this battle, it all depends on their performance!

At this moment, Li Qing was also hesitant, looking at the generals of the various armies around him who had already set their eyes on him, and forcibly suppressed the desire in his heart. Looking at the Tubo soldiers who were waiting for the battle with bows and tents on the city wall, Li Qing's thoughts became extremely clear, and he spat out a word: "Withdraw!" Then he ignored the crowd and came on the fly. Returning home in defeat is undoubtedly the best description of Li Qing's heart at the moment.

Although Li Qing behaved crisply and acted chicly, most of the people present were old and sophisticated, so he could naturally hear the unwillingness in the words of His Royal Highness King Shou just now, after all, he was about to behead the Qin Ling under the horse. was blocked by an inconspicuous border garrison in front of him.

In all fairness, with the absolute superiority of their own troops, even if there is no siege equipment, if the tactics of crowds are used and the siege is not fatal, the garrison town in front of it will definitely not be able to resist the offensive of the Tang army, but even if it is really captured at that time, I am afraid it will be a battle of 800 self-losses from the enemy, it is obvious that it is precisely because of this clearly, so His Royal Highness King Shou at this moment will choose to withdraw the army, instead of choosing to sacrifice the lives of countless Tang troops to capture the Qinling, and draw a successful end to this battle.

Because Li Qing's decision was sluggish for a long time, looking at the increasingly blurred back of Xuanyi under the escort of several green-shirted warriors not far away, the general of Maozhou looked at his colleagues around him and said with emotion: "Our Royal Highness Shouwang treats the enemy mercilessly, treats us who are familiar, but it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous, and the title of "Renwang" is well deserved!" ”

Although the others did not speak, but when they heard such a pertinent evaluation of the deputy general of Maozhou, they nodded their heads in approval, and looked back unwillingly at the garrison town in front of them, the main generals of the various armies turned around one after another, after the main general, a steady stream of Tang soldiers followed, the army came fast, and walked fast, if the corpses under the city were all over the field, no one would believe that under this bright moonlight, outside the ordinary garrison town, an extremely tragic battle had just occurred, and this war ended with the complete victory of the Tang army.

Just as more than 100 years ago, in the Battle of Songzhou, the Tang Army decided the battle in the first battle, more than 200,000 Tibetan soldiers broke their halberds and sank into the sand, and the killed Tupai Jiazi did not dare to covet Songzhou anymore, tonight's battle is similar to the war that shocked the entire Tang Dynasty more than 100 years ago.

The two most powerful countries in the east did their best, and they finished their work in one battle, the battle of Songzhou during the Zhenguan period, the soldiers and horses gathered in Songzhou before and after the two countries have been close to 350,000, not so much to fight for Songzhou, but to fight for the control of the entire Western Regions, after all, although Songzhou is important, but far from letting the two powerful countries contribute to this point.

Now the same scene happened again more than a hundred years later, in the Tianbao years, but two decisive battles, God does not seem to be on the side of Tubo, more than a hundred years ago in the battle of Songzhou killed the Tubo soldiers sharply reduced, the national strength is weak, and it took decades to regain the capital to compete with the Tang Empire, although the battle of Songzhou a hundred years later is far from being as magnificent as the battle more than a hundred years ago, the momentum is huge, but it has killed the majesty of Jiannan Road, and changed the perennial weak and lazy wind of Jiannan Road!
