Chapter 841: The Consequences of Tooth Messing (Part 2)
Chapter 841
Thinking of this, Songtsan felt very aggrieved in his heart, he was a Tubo Zampu, but he was just a tool for a child to practice his hands, should he say that he was the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, or was he really not qualified to be with the emperor for a long time?
Songtsan Gampo was entangled in his position in Li Er's heart, and he didn't think about it at all, in fact, he was only in his teens, and according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, he had just become an adult.
"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw." After receiving the order to collect troops from behind, the Tubo people who risked death and charged were amnesty, and the front team became the rear team, and the rear team became the front team, stabbed the horse in the buttocks, and ran to the main formation like crazy.
But this time they were facing the elite field troops of the Tang Dynasty, Niu Jinda was not Han Wei's half-hung general, almost at the moment when the order for the Tubo army to retreat was issued, Lao Niu was already ordering his cavalry to prepare to attack, and after the Tubo army paid the price of thousands of people and completed the 'task' of turning around, the cavalry led by Gu Yiwei had appeared on both sides of the Tubo army.
At this moment, the Tubo army was a little panicked, they had just completed their U-turn, the war horses were still in place, and the speed was not up at all, but the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty had already rushed up towards them, and in this case, they would also suffer from the continuous attacks of the Tang Dynasty's strong crossbows and rockets behind.
It's the end of the calf, it's really the end of the calf. The city of Songzhou behind the Tang army has been opened, and the cavalry of about 5,000 has already left the city, and it seems that they are ready to cut off the retreat of the invading enemy.
10,000 people, 10,000 cavalry, do you want to save them, do you want to save them back?
Songtsam was also a little anxious, looking at the chaotic attacking team in front of him, he stomped his feet in a hurry, but no one stood up and said 'I'll save people', the shortcomings of the tribal system are vividly reflected at this moment, when it is unprofitable, no one will fight for something ethereal at all.
What if 10,000 people die? Anyway, most of them are people from the Qiongbo tribe, and if these people are dead, there will be a lot of space on the plateau, and how good it would be to go back and divide the territory when the time comes, so why risk death to save them?
Under the calculations of each of them, the first wave of 10,000 cavalry sent out to 'test the waters' could only come back, and they were all wounded, and they couldn't even get off their horses after returning to their own formation.
Retreating, constantly retreating, facing the Tang army formation that kept knocking on the shield and shouting Wansheng, the 40,000 Tubo people retreated little by little.
Datang's weapons are terrifying, not to mention the continuous vicious three-edged arrows, not to mention the super-strong protective plate armor, just those rockets and Zhenguan cannons make the Tubo people frightened.
The smoking balls are so fast that they often fall head-overhead into the middle of the line when people aren't looking, and then before you can dodge, they explode violently, and then there are a lot of casualties.
In the end, the helpless Songtsen Gampo had to send a subordinate to negotiate with the Tang general, hoping that the Tang Dynasty would not advance step by step, and the one who took over this task was Geer Dongzan.
"Respected General Datang, please stop, we have something to say." Courageous, Ger Dongzan came to the front of the two armies and shouted loudly.
"Something to say, our general is not available." A voice came from the Tang Army's large array.
"I didn't bring a weapon, I'm here to negotiate, please let go of a road, let me pass." Seeing that there were no balls of crossbow or iron balls flying over, Geer Donzan breathed a sigh of relief.
"From the side, who did you learn from to enter the army from the front?" The voice in the Don Army brigade was full of disdain.
"Yes, yes, I don't have a weapon, please don't get me wrong, I'll go around it." Geer Dongzan's face turned red, he was nervous and said the wrong thing just now, and now he can't take it back if he wants to.
Half an hour later, Geer Dongzan, who had been searched eight times, saw Niu Jinda.
As soon as they met, it was a big bow: "The Tibetan negotiator ......."
"If you want to frame the old man in this way, don't blame the old man for sacrificing your dog's head!" Niu Jinda interrupted Geer Dongzan, squinting his eyes and tapping the horsewhip lightly in the palm of his hand.
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Seeing through his intentions, Geer Dongzan got up from the ground and gave Niu Jinda a military salute again.
When Ya saw Li Er in Datang, she didn't have this kind of five-body gift, but now she used it for Niu Jinda, obviously she was uneasy and kind, and wanted people to take the opportunity to impeach Lao Niu for overstepping the system, how could Lao Niu, who had lived for most of his life, not see it, so that he would interrupt his words without waiting for him to finish speaking.
"Tell me, what is your purpose?" Niu Jinda smiled coldly, regardless of whether Geer Dongzan really didn't dare or not.
"General Niu, I came here to ask you to retire." Ger Donzan hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Why?" Niu Jinda asked quietly.
"General Niu, although the Tang Dynasty won the battle just now, you must know that my Tubo is not without the strength of a battle, under the attack of 40,000 troops, I am afraid that no matter how powerful your army is, it will have to pay a heavy price to win. So, I thought that we could make a truce for the time being, and how about fighting again tomorrow? Ghir Donzan said.
"A delaying tactic?" Niu Jinda sneered and said, "You used it in the wrong place, right? That's all we have leftover. ”
"There is an old saying in your country, telling the poor not to chase, the general must know that if the 40,000 army fights to the death of the fish and breaks the net without a way to live, how can it cause a certain amount of damage to your army, you must admit this, right? So why would you want this to happen? The record of annihilating 10,000 cavalry can already make the general surrender to His Majesty the Heavenly Khan, so what can you do if you let these 40,000 people live? Geer Dongzan also fought hard, and all his face was thrown aside, all in order to leave a way for the 40,000 people in Tubo.
Niu Jinda's eyes darkened slightly, and after pondering for a long time, he said slowly: "The way of life is ......, the way of life is to fight for your life, and you also left a way for more than 2,000 soldiers for me when you were in Gansongling?" If you say yes, it is not permanent for Niu to wait for a way to survive today. ”
"This ......" Ghir Donzan hesitated, he could be shameless, but he wouldn't lie.
A few days ago, when they were in Gansongling, they Tubo people did not leave any hands, and directly killed the Tang army after the break, and even stripped them of their clothes and armor in the end.
"For the sake of your courage, Geer Dongzan, you go back, I won't kill you, by the way, tell your Zampu, today's battle is just the beginning, and there is only one way to leave, and that is the road to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty." Niu Jinda said, raising his hand and pointing in the direction of Chang'an.
