Chapter 447: The Last Supper

There was chaos in the camp of the Tang army, and the Tubo cavalry rushed to the Tang army camp to kill, and the Tang army suffered heavy losses.

The cavalry units of the Don Army hurriedly rushed to support.

The Tibetan cavalry did not love to fight, and roared away.

When the 32nd Infantry Division was attacking, the 32nd Infantry Division quickly organized crossbowmen to block it, and the Tibetans saw that they could not rush over, so they shot a burst of arrows and left immediately.

Not long after, the Tibetan cavalry made a comeback, approached the Tang army from another direction, and fired arrows at the Tang army.

At this time, Nuo Haobo was determined to retreat, and the 22nd Provisional Cavalry Division was cut off, and the 23rd and 24th Provisional Cavalry Divisions were covered by both flanks, escorting the retreat of the 31st and 32nd Infantry Divisions.

For the attack of the Tibetan cavalry, the Tang army only responded with bows and arrows.

Just when the whole Tang army retreated, the Tubo people in Darique City also went out of the city to pursue the Tang army.

The Tang army fought and retreated, and due to the slow walking of the infantry, the Tang army could not get rid of the entanglement of the Tubo.

Soon after, the situation became more and more serious, and a large number of small-scale Tibetan rangers continued to appear around the Tang army, disturbing the marching sequence of the Tang army.

The cavalry units of the Tang army were also divided into small units, constantly expelling the attacks of the Tibetans.

Both Nuo Haobo and Ashinahun had rich combat experience, and they had now guessed the battle intention of the Tubo people - to delay the march of the Tang army and buy time for their main force to rush to encircle and annihilate the Tang army.

Nuo Haobo ordered the Tang infantry to speed up the march. At the same time, someone was sent to inform the 2nd Cavalry Division, the main force of the Tang Army, to come to respond.

Seeing the blind retreat of the Tang army, the Tubo people became more and more crazy. The Tubo people who were chasing after them gathered tens of thousands of people, including thousands of infantry from the city of Darique. Like ducks, they chased closely behind the Don Army.

Ashinahun thought that this was not the way to go, and he said: "King Jun, these Tubo people are like flies, they are so annoying, I will go to fight a battle and swatt these nasty flies to death." ”

Nuo Haobo agreed with his opinion, and decided to take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Tibetan army had not yet arrived, kill a horse gun, and annihilate the Tibetan army that was trailing.

Nuo Haobo led the Tang infantry to line up on the spot to protect themselves, Ashinahon led the 22nd Provisional Cavalry Division to meet the enemy head-on, and the 23rd and 24th Provisional Cavalry Divisions outflanked both flanks and pounced on the Tubo people who were chasing after them.

The Tubo people did not expect that the Tang army would suddenly kill the horse pistol, and there was a panic. But the Tibetans quickly calmed down and formed a formation on the spot to meet the Tang army.

Ashinahun personally led the 22nd Provisional Cavalry Division and quickly approached the Tubo, and he saw that there were about 10,000 Tubo people who were surrounded, half of whom were infantry, and they were lining up in a chaotic formation.

Ashinahong decided to take advantage of the fact that the Tubo people had not yet completely put together their formation to break them. ,

He shouted, "Kill! Wielding the Mo knife, he took the lead in rushing towards the Tubo people, and behind him, tens of thousands of Tang army iron cavalry rolled up smoke and dust and rushed straight to the enemy formation.

At the same time, the 23rd and 24th Cavalry Divisions of the Tang Army, which had already arrived, also launched an attack on the Tuboans.

Under the impact of the 30,000 iron cavalry of the Tang army, the military formation of the Tubo people who were not consolidated collapsed instantly, although the Tubo people were brave and fearless, desperately resisted, but they were disrupted in formation, fell into the dilemma of fighting for themselves, and were slaughtered by the Tang army.

Half an hour later, the besieged Tubo people were basically slaughtered, with nearly 10,000 dead and wounded. Only a small number of cavalry, desperately breaking through the encirclement and escaping.

Looking at the panicked Tubo cavalry, Ashina Hong laughed, and the Tang cavalry also burst into a burst of victorious cheers.

The Don army continued to retreat. The Tibetans continued to harass, but they no longer had the arrogance they had before.

In the evening of the same day, the Tang army was less than 6o miles away from its own border.

At this time, after a day's march and battle, the Tang army was sleepy and tired, and its stomach was hungry. So they proposed to take a break and bury the pot to cook.

Nuo Haobo saw that it was not far from the border, and then looked at those tired soldiers, so he discussed with Ashinahong whether to take a rest and have a meal before leaving.

After annihilating the Tubo people who were chasing after him, Ashinahong was in a good mood, and the scouts behind him were not as close as the existing large number of Tubos, and they didn't feel that there was any danger.

Besides, they had informed the 2nd Cavalry Division to come and meet them, and nothing would happen, so they agreed to rest here for two hours, and after eating, they continued their march.

However, no one expected that this meal would turn out to be the last supper for most people here.

The order to rest came down, and the soldiers who had worked hard all day sat on the ground to rest, and among the mountains and fields, a breeze blew, which was exceptionally cool.

On the whole, the expedition was very smooth, and the results were not small, and all the troops made a lot of money. The soldiers were in a good mood, they talked and laughed, and waited for their stomachs to be full, return to the territory of Datang, and end this campaign.

Nuo Haobo is also in a good mood, this is his first outstanding performance since joining Datang. As the deputy commander of the expeditionary force, this campaign can greatly improve his status in the expeditionary force.

Nuo Haobo said with some regret: "It's a pity that we didn't hit Dari Bird City, otherwise, we wouldn't need to withdraw our troops by relying on Dari Bird City." ”

Ashinahong said: "What His Highness said is true. But it doesn't matter, when the reinforcements from Persia arrive, we have hundreds of thousands of troops in our hands, and if we attack again, the target will not be the small city of Darique.

When the time comes, we will wave our army and go straight to Amdo City, and we will meet the famous general She Yebo of Tibet. ”

An hour later, it was finally time to eat. The soldiers lined up and took turns to eat.

Naturally, Nuo Haobo and Ashinahon didn't have to queue up, the guards around them cooked a meal for them, and the two chatted while eating.

At this moment, the reconnaissance chief of the military region headquarters hurriedly came to report that on their way back, a large force of Tibetan cavalry had appeared, and more than 10,000 people had appeared.

Nuo Haobo and Ashinahon glanced at each other, both realizing the danger. They judged that the Tubo people's move was to cut off the Tang army's retreat, which meant that a large number of Tubo people were rushing here.

The judgment of Nuo Hao Bo and Ashinahun was very accurate.

Since receiving the news of the invasion of the Tang Army, She Yebo, a famous general in Tibet, immediately noticed a huge fighter plane after analyzing and judging.

The war between Tibet and the Tang Dynasty was imminent, and if the Tang army was ready and all the armies attacked Tibet at the same time, it would be difficult to deal with such a situation.

This time, the Tang army in the direction of Tuyuhun advanced alone, giving the Tubo people a good opportunity to concentrate their forces to encircle and annihilate.

He immediately issued an order to send 20,000 troops to copy the rear road of the Tang army, and at the same time issued an order to urgently mobilize all the troops that could be mobilized, and while assembling, they moved in the direction of the Tang army in the border area.

In addition, the local troops in the border areas were notified to attack and harass the Tang army, delay, and buy time for the arrival of the main force of the Tibetan army and the encirclement of the Tang army.
