Chapter 21: The Fall of Tibet (1)

This time it is clear that the Tang Dynasty wants to completely incorporate Tubo into the scope of its influence.

Facing the 100,000 most elite tiger and wolf army of the Tang Dynasty, Songtsen Gampo knew that it would be difficult for Tubo to survive in this land this time.

The powerful Turks were all completely conquered and turned into subordinate existences under the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, not to mention that their Tubo forces were much weaker than the Turks.

Before harassing the Datang frontier, because the Tang Dynasty considered the topography of Tubo, it retreated step by step.

Now that this determination has been made, Tubo has no possibility of defeating the Tang Dynasty.

There is no possibility of even rescuing the surrounding area.

Datang's power is too strong now, and the powerful surrounding Fanbang small countries are trembling under him, how can anyone dare to oppose Datang.

The hastily assembled army was as high as more than 300,000 people, but only 200,000 were able to form an effective combat capability.

did not go out to fight, but all gathered in the city of Luo, waiting for the arrival of the Tang army.

Anyway, Datang didn't say where to fight, and the battle was just life and death.

After such a long journey, the Tang army arrived, and it was already exhausted.

As long as you seize this opportunity, you can annihilate the army of Datang in one fell swoop.

After destroying the 100,000 elite Datang troops of Datang, Datang is estimated to lose some vitality.

If you want to fight for Tibet again, there will be no such hope in a year or two.

Along the way, Li Shen was also depressed, and the spies sent to search within a hundred and ten miles, the city was basically deserted, and all the strength disappeared, leaving the old and weak women and children alone at home.

For these unarmed people, Li Shen can't stop this ruthless hand, how to say that they are also a member of Huaxia.

Although there are still many rebels in modern times, basically the people living on this land still belong to the Chinese family.

The destruction of Tibet was nothing more than an attempt to open a bridge to Europe.

Labor punishment is imposed on those who do not have the slightest sense of belonging.

Let them live in Datang and experience the sense of honor and belonging as the people of Datang.

"Report !!!"

The mighty wind stirred the grass on the grassland.

In a world without any pollution, the stars on the prairie look much brighter at night.

The sky is wide and wide, galloping on the grassland, and I feel like the whole person is integrated into this world.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The young man knelt on one knee and clenched his fists with both hands and said.

Li Shen nodded slightly.

"Your Highness, I didn't find the Tubo army along the way, but according to the surrounding Tubo people, all the soldiers in Tubo have all moved to Luoqi City."

"Is the news true?" Su Dingfang asked with a frown.

"I don't know." The teenager replied.

Su Dingfang turned his head, looked at Li Shen, and said, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this?" ”

"What can they mean, time is so tight, they don't have the courage to clash with us head-on, we are now leading an army of 100,000, who dares to fight with us head-on, it is estimated that they want to protect some cities and compete with us, didn't the prince say it! The first battle is the winner. Cheng Yanjin said lightly.

Li Shen smiled, nodded slightly, and said: "General Cheng is right, besides, we are deep into the hinterland of Tibet, many of the soldiers have already suffered from altitude sickness, and they are already exhausted, and there are still hundreds of miles away from the city of Luo, and it is difficult to arrive without more than ten days. The Tibetans gathered all the soldiers together and dealt us a blow when we arrived at the city of Luo. ”

"Huh! However, Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan did not expect that this army of 100,000 people was just a disguise, and there were only 3,000 people who really fought. Su Dingfang nodded with a smile and said.

"What is the situation of the three thousand soldiers now?" Li Shen asked.

"They have almost adapted to the climate change of the grassland, there is no problem, there are still more than ten days before the start of the war, and the end will ensure that they will all be in a good state at that time." Su Dingfang replied.

"Now that we know the intentions of Tubo, let's specify the plan, let's talk about it first, and you can refer to it." Li Shen nodded and said.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"At present, there are only two possibilities, the first is that when we are about to arrive at the city of Luo, the Tibetans will attack our army. If we launch an attack on our army, this is a situation that Gu does not want to see, and it will inevitably cause the death of the soldiers at that time. The second is siege warfare, there is actually nothing to say about siege warfare, directly blow up the city wall with cannons, and a pot can completely cut off Tibet. ”

"If it is really the first case, it is really unfavorable for our army, and it is difficult for a team of 3,000 people to stop the onslaught of an army of more than 100,000 or 200,000." Su Dingfang said with a frown.

"So this matter, I hope you can solve it, it's best not to let them clash with the army, we should be able to hit them by surprise with the power of firearms, but no one can guarantee that the Tubo army will have any countermeasures at that time, panic will definitely happen, in the panic, it depends on whether the snipers in the army can accurately eliminate all the generals in Tubo among the ten thousand armies, if the generals of Tubo are eliminated, no matter how many people he has, there is no need to be afraid." Li Shen said to Su Dingfang.

"This general is not sure, after all, the training time is a little short, and it is not yet able to effectively hit the target, not to mention that the wind on the grassland is relatively strong, which also affects the hit rate, and it is estimated that it is a little difficult, but a few more bullets can more or less kill some Tibetan generals." Su Dingfang replied.

Then he frowned and said, "Your Highness, if you don't think it's feasible, arrange some people to touch into some cities, and kill some of the generals of Tubo first?" ”

Li Shen shook his head with a smile, and said: "Now the army is only a few hundred miles away from the city, and now there is no need to think that the city must be heavily guarded, and arranging people to go in the past is just to send them to death, there is no need for that, the number is not large, and it is only expected that these people will be eliminated and arranged in the army to carry out military reforms in the future." ”

"Your Highness is ready to make changes to the whole army?" Cheng Yanjin asked slightly excitedly.

"Do you have an idea?" Li Shen asked with a smile.

"Hehe, Your Highness, what do you think, if you carry out a reform of the whole army, can you start with me first? You can rest assured, I Lao Cheng will absolutely obey your arrangement. ”
