Chapter 270: Arriving in Songzhou

"The general is worried about the war in Songzhou?" Chen Fei's mind was full of thoughts, and he instantly understood Li Ji's thoughts.

Anyway, if he is happy now, it must be because he won the battle, and if he is sad, it must be because of the unknown battle in Songzhou ahead.

Historically, the Tubo people did not capture the city of Songzhou, and the imperial court reinforcements first arrived in the city and killed thousands of Tubo soldiers, so frightened that Songtsen Gampo could not sleep, could not eat, and finally withdrew his troops.

Because the reason why Songtsen Gampo marched into Tibet was not entirely because the envoys were detained, but also because he was rejected three times and twice to propose his relatives, and expressed his dissatisfaction by sending troops.

So according to reason, Songtsen Gampo, who lost 30,000 soldiers and horses, should also withdraw his troops, and it will not be beneficial for anyone to continue to fight like this, Songtsen Gampo is not a fool, he clearly knows that it is a very unwise thing to be an enemy of the Tang Dynasty.

However, now that Songzhou City is in the hands of Songtsen Gampo, things are a bit beyond imagination.

If you can firmly grasp the city of Songzhou in your hands, Tubo's status for the Tang Dynasty will be completely different, with this city, the Tang army is in a passive state, and the Tubo army has the initiative! They can attack and retreat, and the Tang army will have no choice but to Tubo in the short term!

With the city of Songzhou, which is so geographically important, Songtsen Gampo's ambitions are also magnified! His eyes are not only on harmony now, he wants to obtain greater benefits through Songzhou City!

Perhaps... Enter the Central Plains!

It is conceivable that Songtsen Gampo, whose ambition has been magnified, will care much about Songzhou City, the defense of this city will definitely be firmly consolidated, and he still has 170,000 horses in his hands, and it should be very easy to defend a city.

Songtsen Gampo felt relaxed, and Li Ji should be worried. At this moment, he was standing under the tree looking at the moon with a melancholy face, and his back was a sad mess.

"Alas!" Li Jichang sighed, pointed to the west, and said: "I got the most accurate battle report from Songzhou this afternoon, Songzhou City was conquered three days ago, Governor Han Wei led the guards to escape, and the remnants of the people of Songzhou were slaughtered, and Songzhou is no longer surnamed Tang. ”

Chen Fei had already guessed this ending, and when he heard this, he just sighed lightly, silently feeling sorry for the people who were killed in Songzhou.

"General, we have won the battle today, be happy, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and Songzhou City may be recovered soon." Chen Fei tried to comfort Li Ji, but it was of no avail.

"Won the battle? This victory is not necessarily a good thing! Li Ji's tone was a little complicated, Chen Fei's heart jumped, and he asked, "How can the general understand?" ”

"I have seen the Tubo soldiers who were surrendered today, and they should not be called soldiers, but the people who carried stone guns and wooden poles were not the regular army of Tubo at all. The combat power of the real Tibetan army should not be underestimated, if the generals and soldiers of our army underestimate the Tibetan army excessively... I'm afraid it's not a good thing! ”

Underestimating the enemy on the battlefield is indeed a very serious matter, and if it is not done well, it will lead to the subversion of the entire battle situation. The terrible thing is that at the moment there are very few people who are aware of this, everyone seems to be immersed in the joy of victory, and in the distance from the large camp there is an excited roar of soldiers, as if someone is singing in celebration of victory.

"General, Thunderbolt..."

"Humph! When it comes to thunderbolts, I'm angry! Li Ji glanced at Chen Fei and shook his sleeves fiercely.

"Something is a good thing, how can it not be rained? I sent someone to count the thunderbolt fires just now, and most of them were soaked with rain and could not be used. ”

"This..."Chen Fei scratched his head in embarrassment, when he invented the thunderbolt fire, he completely forgot that this thing couldn't get wet, and it was too late to react.

"The raw materials of the Thunderbolt Fire can't be collected for the time being, and the rest have been estimated by someone to find someone to estimate, there are still fifty more to make, and with fifty Thunderbolt Fire, I want to capture a city..."Li Ji shook his head, and there was no longer any illusion in his eyes.

"Fifty? These fifty thunderbolts are hidden as killer weapons, and they are more effective than being directly displayed. ”

"Killer feature..."Li Ji shook his head and remained silent, and the atmosphere fell into embarrassment.

Chen Fei saw that the night was not early, and he was tired all day today, so he wanted to go back to rest early, so he said goodbye to Li Ji.

Li Ji waved his hand casually, like driving away a fly that had always been disliked. "Let's go, get some rest, and don't faint again tomorrow!"

Chen Fei... I'm actually pretty strong, okay?

The next day, the sun seemed to play peek-a-boo with everyone, showing a little face yesterday afternoon, and then disappearing behind the clouds today.

The gloomy sky gradually smoothed the morale of the army, and the further forward it went, the stronger the smell of slaughter in the air, as if there was a salty smell of blood permeating and spreading.

In the evening, an open space appeared in the middle of the mountains and forests in the distance, and the outline of a city loomed in the clearing.

"Songzhou... It's here! Someone spoke in a dull atmosphere, and the voice was quiet, but it exploded in everyone's heart.

After so many days of traveling, Songzhou has finally arrived!

"Stop marching! Pass the general's military order and stop the march! Twenty miles ahead is Songzhou City, everyone is ready for war at any time! ”

The army stopped moving forward and began to set up camp amid the shouts of the generals, burying pots and cooking food.

Chen Fei was still taken away by Cheng Yanjin and taken to a higher hillside to teach him the knowledge of setting up camp. This is a basic skill that must be learned.

The formation of the big camp didn't seem to have changed much, but at a glance, the camp seemed to have an aura of slaughter, like a fierce beast lurking in the night, which would deal a fatal blow to anyone who provoked him!

"Boy, study hard! This is the old man's original camping method! Cheng Yanjin was extremely proud, and after explaining to Chen Fei, he actually began to discuss the king of beasts, the tiger.

"Damn, the tiger is too much with the old man's appetite, either it doesn't move, and if it moves, it will be a fatal blow to the prey! Don't miss a shot! The old man's style of marching and fighting is to learn its habits! ”

Chen Fei rolled his eyes covertly, do you want to praise yourself for a long time? Do you want to say that you are the king of beasts?

Look at Cheng biting Jin's thick arms and legs... Well, sure enough, it's "Orc!" ”

"Boy, go to sleep, tomorrow will be the real battle! Even if you don't go into battle to kill the enemy, you can lift Lao Tzu's spirit. Cheng Biting Jin kicked Chen Fei away, and went back to the camp to sleep.

What about Chen Fei? Chen Fei stood in place, staring at the direction of Cheng Yanjin's departure and muttered, "Tiger? Tiger? Hiss! I seem to have a little bit of inspiration, but I can't remember, hey, I'm old, my brain is not good! He patted his head, and finally went back to the camp to sleep.

"May tomorrow be a success!" The young man stretched lazily and returned to the camp to sleep.
