In the face of the desperate attack of 20,000 cavalry, the Tang army formation was also struggling to support, after all, there were still soldiers who did not join in the follow-up, but fortunately, the crossbowmen kept shooting, so that the follow-up cavalry did not continuously impact the army formation, so they held each other.

Gar Dongzan knew that it was impossible to attack Songzhou now, so he hurriedly ordered the trumpet to be blown, summoned the other three sides to come to support, and also asked the siege troops to retreat to rescue.

Just when Gar Dongzan was busy commanding, something happened that made his heart fall into a trough, and thousands of cavalry rushed out from the side of the hill and rushed towards the retreating Tibetan warriors, knowing that the retreat was only a little more than 20,000 siege infantry, and there was no formation at all.

If the appearance of cavalry made Gar Dongzan uncomfortable, then slowly lined up in formation, a garden formation on the side of the battlefield made him desperate, this 10,000-strong array was obviously to stop reinforcements, but also to prevent himself from escaping, and he could also join the battlefield to do the final blow.

Gar Dongzan's face was pale, his mind was racing, and he was thinking hard about how to bring back as many fighters as possible possible, but he couldn't understand why there were so many soldiers in Songzhou, and he couldn't figure out why the support would come so quickly.

As a qualified commander, of course he could see that Datang's reinforcements were at least 70,000 or 80,000 people, so many troops were assembled, and they had to rush to Songzhou, how could they arrive in ten days and a half months.

Although Gar Dongzan now suspects that he has fallen for Yuangai Suwen, he can't think much about it, so he has to talk about it later, and the top priority is how to retain more troops.

Just as Gar Dongzan was thinking hard, the gate of Songzhou was opened, and Niu Jinda led 3,000 cavalry to kill behind the retreating siege soldiers.

"No!" Gar Donzan's eyes were full of despair, and his mouth wailed in pain.

"The Tang General on the other side! I am Tubo Gar Dongzan, please raise your noble hand, as long as you are willing to let us go, we are willing to compensate Datang, and we will not rescue the rest of the people in the city gate. Gar Dongzan, with a thousand guards, quickly approached Niu Jinda's troops, and shouted loudly, for fear that Niu Jinda would not hear, shouted three times in a row, and asked the guards to hang down their weapons.

Niu Jinda saw that there were cavalry coming and was about to attack, but he heard Gar Dongzan's shout, and he didn't look like he was going to attack, so he asked the cavalry to be on guard and asked people to go to Li Xiaogong.

"Let the retreating soldiers stand where they are!" Niu Jinda shouted loudly.

Gar Dongzan smiled bitterly, so he had to do so, and also issued an order to recall the attacking cavalry, and in a short time, seven or eight thousand were killed and wounded.

Gar Donzan had 30,000 men retreat to the middle of the battlefield, and had the wounded soldiers bandaged, while the others remained honestly where they were.

The cavalry led by Xue Wanche saw that things had changed, and they also called back, but they did not dismount, reorganized the formation, and surrounded the periphery of the Tubo army, and Wei Chigong and all the soldiers against him also surrounded him, but he did not attack.

…………

As soon as Li Xiaogong said that he went out of the city to intercept the Tubo people, he heard that Niu Jinda's personal guards had come to spread the word that the Tubo commander wanted to see him.

Li Xiaogong suppressed the doubts in his heart and galloped to the front of the battle.

"This king, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, is here! What does the enemy have to say! Li Xiaogong refused to be escorted by personal guards, and asked alone.

"Tubo Prime Minister Gar Dongzan has seen the prince, Tubo has been provoked by others, offended the Tang Dynasty and asked the prince to forgive his sins, and Tubo is willing to call the minister a tribute." Gar Donzan also took a few steps forward and said with one hand on his chest.

"Haha! Called the minister and the tribute, is there still a choice for the prime minister now? It's just empty white teeth, but it's not sincere. Li Xiaogong laughed and shouted.

Gar Dongzan's originally bitter face couldn't help but become more bitter, of course he also knew that it was impossible for Datang to let him go in a few words.

"As long as the prince lets us go, we are willing to put down our arms and leave, and the other three people will be cleaned up by the prince, and you are also an understanding person, although there are more people over there, but there is no elite here, how to choose, the prince will decide." Gar Dongzan said loudly!

After many days of fighting, Li Xiaogong naturally understood that there was more elite, and after thinking about it, he made a decision.

"Give up the war horse, let you wait to leave, as for the inside of the camp, let you take it away, I hope that the prime minister will leave the Tang Dynasty before the king exterminates the remnants of the enemy." Li Xiaogong made conditions.

"Lord ......"

"Needless to say! If you don't agree, you will see the truth. Li Xiaogong saw that Gar Dongzan was still talking, and immediately interrupted him.

"It's a deal!" Gar Dongzan nodded helplessly in agreement, he also saw that Li Xiaogong was impatient, thinking that he was delaying time.

Gar Dongzan thought about it, although it was a pity that there were so many young and strong soldiers in Tibet, but fortunately, he retained his direct troops, and he was slowly developing in the future.

"The Tang Dynasty people are talking, and this king is full of words!" Li Xiaogong said loudly.

After the two sides negotiated, the Tibetan army began to dismount and line up to leave under the supervision of the Tang soldiers, and after leaving a certain distance, they laid down their weapons.

Gar Dongzan can also understand Li Xiaogong's decision, without horses and weapons, even if he kills a horse gun Datang, he doesn't have to be afraid, after all, there are enough war horses and food to leave in the camp, but there are not many weapons.

Although he failed this time, Gal Dongzan was pleased to retain his direct troops, and all the logistics were returned to Songtsen Gampo, and then there were no tribes in the country that could compete with him, which was a good thing.

"Get on the horse!" The Tubo people left more than 10,000 war horses, which made Wei Chigong and others very happy, and hurriedly commanded the soldiers who knew how to ride horses to get on their horses and sort out the formation a little, totaling more than 20,000 cavalry.

After sorting it out, Wei Chigong took Niu Jinda, Xue Wanche, Cheng Mingzhen, and Xue Wanshu to attack the remaining Tubo people.

As for the other infantry, it was led by Gao Yongsheng, Jiu and Luosheng, Zheng Yuan Wang Shou, and Zuo Xiaojie to surround the Tubo people, and the most elite ones have been let go.

Li Xiaogong took Feng Daijin, Liu Renshi, and Cheng Wuting back to the city and brought people from the city to surround them.

When they evacuated the siege troops and were constantly harassed by the Tang soldiers, they naturally would not blindly go to reinforcements, and they also needed to let the troops sort out the formation, otherwise the mess would not be reinforcements, but to send food.

Just when they were struggling to converge and sort out the formation, they found that the cavalry had appeared, and the infantry was faintly around them, these people didn't know that they had been abandoned by Gar Dongzan, and thought that there were too many reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty, which was aimed at them, and they couldn't help but have a bad premonition in their hearts.
