Chapter 640: Tubo retreats
"Retirement?" Ju Lian, who led the vanguard of the coalition forces, immediately narrowed his eyes, stared at Bradgon and said, "Bradgon, do you know what you are talking about?" ”
Bradgon snorted heavily and said angrily, "Of course I know what I'm talking about!" Our Lady has deceived us, and we are going to retreat! ”
Ju Lian frowned and said in a deep voice, "How did the Holy Mother Sect deceive you? Let's take it into detail! ”
"Humph!" Bradgon stretched out his hand and gestured to explain to everyone: "At the beginning, the people of the Church of Our Lady found my great Tibetan Zampu and persuaded Zampu to send troops to participate in this operation. Zampu knew that the Tang Army had a very terrifying weapon, and we had suffered a big loss in Songzhou at the beginning, so we didn't want to participate in this dispatch.
But! But shameful Our Lady actually lied to Zampu! ”
Bradgon said, his tone becoming intense, "At the beginning, the people of the Church of Our Lady told Zampu that the kind of weapon used by the Tang Army was not so terrifying, but only used the night to scare and scare people. And he also took out that weapon and demonstrated it to us Zampu. The weapon is indeed a big movement, but the power is small, and it can scare people, but the war is a little worse, so Zampu agreed to send troops this time! Who knows....... Who knows......."
"Bang!" Bradgon slammed the table again and roared, "Who knew that these weapons were not at all what the Church of Our Lady had said!" This isn't a scare, useless thing! You've seen the power of this weapon! Boom! The lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of my warriors are gone! And we... And we haven't even touched the walls! The Don Army, with such weapons, simply cannot be defeated! This war has no meaning in the slightest, it just adds to death! I quit! We Tubo withdraw! You guys fight with the Tang Army! ”
After speaking, Bradgon turned around and left directly, Ju Li'an caught up and kept it again and again, the Tubo army led by Bradgon had experienced two attacks by the Tang army, and had already been frightened, and did not dare to be the enemy of the Tang army at all.
They Tubo is already in a wilderness, lacking all kinds of materials, it is the time when they urgently need to have a good relationship with Datang, they will definitely not bet everything on this hopeless war, they would rather quit and slowly have a good relationship with Datang, rather than take such an extreme risk now!
The fruits of victory are very tempting, but you also have to have the strength to take it, in Bradgon's opinion, it is impossible for the Western Regions Alliance to defeat the Tang Dynasty, and it is very likely that they will not even be able to capture this city!
In fact, the vanguard of the coalition forces is indeed at a loss for Dunhuang.
"What do you think? Our vanguard originally planned to quickly capture Dunhuang and several other cities, but now we can't take the first city, which will have a great impact on the situation behind us.
Once the Tang Army reacts, if we don't even take down a city, it will be too passive! Julian said in a deep voice.
The atmosphere in the camp was very depressing, and everyone's faces were ugly, because of the temporary withdrawal of the troops in Tibet, but also because of the terrifying weapons of the Tang army.
This is no longer a war, it is completely a death! There's no way to resist it!
So everyone present was silent, not because everyone was clumsy, but because there was really no way!
Ju Li'an saw that everyone was languishing, and he was secretly anxious in his heart. The high-ranking generals have no confidence in this battle, how can you let the soldiers below have morale? This is just the beginning, and it's over? Is this coalition of theirs a farce?
Ju Li Anxin knew very well that if the situation continued like this, let alone a city in Dunhuang, it was still a question whether this form of the coalition army could be maintained.
If the coalition forces are not there, who will bear Li Shimin's anger? Who would dare to face the army of the Tang Dynasty alone?
It can be expected that Li Shimin will definitely take revenge in the future, and Gaochang, where Ju Li'an is located, is the closest to Datang, and is definitely the first to bear Li Shimin's anger.
What to do? Absolutely no cold salad! If this continues, there is a high chance that what he envisioned will come true!
They are not Tibetan, as long as they retreat to the plateau, Li Shimin will be helpless against them, if they do not rely on the coalition army, no one can resist the iron cavalry of the Tang army!
So he must stop the situation from proceeding!
"Everyone!" Julian said to the generals, "Ladies and gentlemen, I know the fear, the fear, and the desire to retreat in your hearts. But if you think about it carefully, since we have chosen to start a war with the Tang Army, do we still have a way out? If you leave with the soldiers under your command now, tomorrow he leaves with the soldiers under his command, and the day after tomorrow I leave with the soldiers under my command, it won't be long before the coalition army will be disbanded, and then you think about it, who can withstand the anger of the Tang army if we are scattered? Let me ask, which of you has the strength to bear the wrath of the Tang Army? ”
Ju Li'an forced his eyes to look at everyone, but everyone lowered their heads in silence, and someone whispered: "However, Tubo has withdrawn......
"In the climatic conditions like Tubo, the gods can't get in, they have a natural barrier, do you have it?" Julian roared.
The man suddenly shrank his neck and said no more.
Ju Lian retracted his gaze and said, "Everyone! We have no way out, there is no point in escaping, since there is no way to escape, it is better for us to face it positively. Now our big army has not yet arrived, maybe when the big army comes, the situation will be different. We're 210,000 strong! With an army of 210,000, would you still be afraid of his defenders who are less than 10,000? No matter how powerful the weapon is? I just don't want these weapons to be endless! ”
Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this, and they secretly said that they still have more than 100,000 troops behind, and now their state is indeed too pessimistic, 210,000 and 80,000 are completely qualitative differences, they... There's a chance!
"Everyone listen to my order, organize another night attack tonight, probe the old bottom of the Tang army, before the follow-up army arrives, we will besiege the city, and send a small group of soldiers to attack and harass at night, the Tang army is bound to slowly relax its vigilance. When the army arrives, the Tang army will be exhausted and negligent in taking precautions, and at that time we will attack the city in one go, Dunhuang will inevitably fall into the hands of our army, and the next few cities will also be at your fingertips, so... I need you to pacify the soldiers below! Tonight, we have something to do! Remember, the Don army has less than 10,000 troops, they are also people, and they also need to rest! We can play with them to applause at a fraction of the cost! ”
It can be seen that Ju Li'an is a general with brains, and the strategy he is in suddenly gives a shot of strength to everyone present, and the generals sweep away the decadent appearance before and return to their respective armies to encourage the soldiers.
On the other side, in Dunhuang City, Chen Fei and Cheng Chumo, who had just been happy, were sad at the moment.
Because they discovered a very serious fact: there was not much left of the Thunderbolt!
Cheng Chumo brought a total of 5,000 thunderbolts this time, and more than 1,000 were thrown out in today's battle, and now there are more than 3,000 left, not much in stock, and what is even more infuriating is that the other party did not retreat!
"Chu Mo, since the other party has not retreated, there must be plans to attack again, I have a hunch, thunderbolt...... It probably won't have the same effect as it does today! ”
