In order to quickly defeat the Tang army, the prince of the Ring Sun dispatched his main force as soon as he came up, a full 5,000 elephants, which was almost all his belongings, and in the wars he had experienced in the past, at most 1,200 elephants were used at one time to charge at the same time.

The charge of the cavalry brigade was already amazingly powerful.

The elephant troops are equivalent to the tank troops of later generations, and the overwhelming weather when charging in groups is even more powerful than that of cavalry troops.

The roar of the elephant, the shouts of the soldiers on the back of the elephant, and the footsteps of the elephant as it runs, converge into a terrifying sound.

For this kind of scene, Xue Rengui was also full of joy, what he hoped for was to have a decisive battle with the army of the Ring Kingdom as soon as possible, and if the enemy's main force was defeated in one battle, the overall situation would be decided.

The last time he fought with the Arabs, Xue Rengui did not have an artillery unit in his hands, and this time he went out to fight against the Japanese Kingdom, equipped with artillery, and Xue Rengui was full of confidence.

The infantry crossbowmen, who were at the forefront of the formation of the Don Army, saw the elephants rushing and immediately retreated in an orderly manner. The 81 Shenwei cannons and 136 flying thunder cannons behind them were revealed.

When the enemy's elephant troops rushed to only 40 paces, the Don troops opened fire.

217 cannons opened fire at the same time, causing a shock that even exceeded the might of the enemy's elephant troops.

The Kamui cannon fired shotshots, and most of the elephants that were hit did not die, but scurried in pain. The loud sound caused by the shelling caused panic among the elephants, who stopped rushing forward and made a mess.

At this moment, the thunder cannonball that fell into the group of elephants exploded, with such great force that it even threw the elephant into the sky.

136 shells of 15 kg exploded at the same time, how powerful!

The shells were all shredded corpses, and a little farther away were the whole bodies that had been shaken to death, and the scene was really terrifying.

The army of the Kingdom of the Ring was completely intimidated. themselves

As for superstition, except for some who fled, many soldiers prostrate on the ground and prayed to the gods.

At the same time, the Longbow troops of the Tang Army also launched an attack on the enemy troops, and the arrows nailed the praying enemy troops directly to the ground.

Xue Rengui ordered the whole army to attack, and more than 100,000 soldiers rushed forward with shouts.

The prince of the Ring Sun did not expect that the powerful army he was proud of would fight with the Tang army and collapse in one face.

He couldn't control the defeat and escape of the army of the Ring Sun Kingdom, and was coerced by the defeated soldiers and fled. But as soon as he fled into Luodong City, he was surrounded by the Tang army.

The prince of the Ring Sun counted his troops and found that only 20,000 men had fled into the city with him, and the rest had either been annihilated or scattered.

After Xue Rengui besieged the city, he did not immediately attack, but continued to persuade the prince of the ring to surrender.

At this moment, a large number of troops appeared in the direction of Qunu City.

Xue Rengui ordered to leave 30,000 Tang troops to continue the siege, and he led the main force to meet the enemy's reinforcements.

Unexpectedly, the army that came in front was the Tang army led by Gao Xianzhi, and in the ranks of the Tang army, there was still pressure on the king of Jieri, and Qunu City had been occupied by Gao Xianzhi.

Xue Rengui felt that his progress was fast enough, but he didn't expect to be given the first credit by Gao Xianzhi.

Seeing Xue Rengui, Gao Xianzhi was very modest on the surface, but the pride in his eyes was difficult to hide.

It turned out that when dividing the troops, Gao Xianzhi had few men and horses, and the first target of the attack was Ritu City in the northwest direction. The distance between him and Xue Rengui and Qunu City is more than 700 miles.

Gao Xianzhi was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but he was helpless, who made Xue Rengui the main general.

Gao Xianzhi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and decided to fight a good battle, not to let Xue Rengui look down on himself.

Gao Xianzhi carefully studied the map and found that in the direction of his attack, the population density of the Ring Sun Kingdom was small, and the distance between the cities was relatively long.

Gao Xianzhi was good at long-distance raids, so he decided to seize this fighter and go straight to Qunu City.

Along the way, he led his army on a day and night march, ignoring the towns he encountered along the way, and only marched forward.

Seeing such a huge contingent of the Tang army, none of the small princes and kings encountered on the road dared to come out to fight, and they closed the city gates tightly, for fear that the Tang army would stop and attack them.

Gao Xianzhi's subordinates only encountered a few skirmishes along the way, and they routed the enemy, did not pursue, and continued to march in the direction of Qunu City.

In this way, Gao Xianzhi arrived at Qunu City first. It is also time for Gao Xianzhi to establish meritorious deeds, at this time, in Qunu City, because the main force has been taken away by the prince of the Ring Sun, the remaining defenders are less than 30,000.

Under the cover of artillery fire, Gao Xianzhi took Qunu City in two days and captured the king of Jieri.

Under the persuasion of the king of the sun, the prince of the king of the sun also opened the city and surrendered.

Soon, Xue Rengui and Gao Xianzhi were in Qunu City, in the name of the king of Jieri, and summoned the subjects and princes of the Jieri Kingdom to come to surrender.

Of the 24 vassal states under the Kingdom of the Ringing Sun, 14 soon sent people, and the rest were waiting and watching. Only one of the princes and kings who was close to the kingdom of Diera defected to the kingdom of Diera.

Xue Rengui killed the chicken to show the monkey, and sent two cavalry divisions, with 8 Shenwei cannons, to Chen soldiers on the border of Luo Kingdom.

The kingdom of Dialuo did not dare to provoke the Tang army, so they tied up the prince and king who had taken refuge in them and sent it to the Tang army.

Xue Rengui publicly executed the prince and king in Qunucheng, and those princes who were watching immediately rushed to Qunucheng and expressed their submission to the Tang army.

Xue Rengui and Gao Xianzhi sent people to report to Li Jing and Chang'an.

The achievements of Xue Rengui and Gao Xianzhi stimulated Li Jing, Hou Junji, and Su Dingfang, who no longer followed Li Su's strategic policy of conquering Tibet, but launched a large-scale attack on Tibet.

Xue Rengui and Gao Xianzhi also led the Tang army and the army of 200,000 troops of the Ring Sun Kingdom to attack Tibet from the southwest.

After eight months of war, the national strength of Tibet has been greatly consumed, and the destruction of the Kingdom of the Ring of the Sun has dealt a severe blow to the morale of Tibet.

A month later, the Tibetan army was largely lost, and most of the country was occupied, leaving only a small area near Lhasa.

Since the main forces of Tibet were in the northeast, and Xue Rengui's headquarters was close to Lhasa, he soon reached Mohechi City, which was only 200 miles away from Lhasa.

After two days of fighting, the Tang army captured the city of Mohechi.

On the night of the capture of Mohechi, Xue Rengui was to convene a military meeting to prepare for the march to Lhasa tomorrow.

Gao Xianzhi stopped him.

Gao Xianzhi said: "General Xue, don't march to Lhasa. ”

Xue Rengui asked, "Why?" ”

Gao Xianzhi said: "What do you think? ”

Xue Rengui thought seriously for a while, and when he figured it out, a cold sweat immediately broke out on his head!
