Chapter 478: It's not over
Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Cheng bites the Golden Bull to reach the two road chiefs and led all the soldiers and horses out of Kang Yanchuan, and at the same time, the messenger who sent the letter to the other two road governors Hou Junji and Liu Lan also left Kang Yanchuan.
Two days later, Hou Junji, who was stationed in a small town called Ruru on the West Road, and Liu Lan, who was stationed in Bomi on the East Road, received the letter almost at the same time.
Knowing that Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda's whole army attack was enough to make Hou, the two managers of Liu were surprised, and Cheng Biting Jin also asked the two of them to send troops together in the letter, and the two were almost shocked to death.
What kind of situation, why did you suddenly send troops to attack a place on such a large scale, doesn't it say that it is not easy to send troops when it is cold? And if you want to fight, just one Gongbu Jiangda, can't you two people fight it, why do you still want us to send troops together?
Besides, the Tibetan envoys went to Chang'an to sue for peace, whether the war was fought or the imperial court had not yet issued an order, shouldn't we wait for the news to have the next action?
I don't understand, I don't understand what the hell is doing with such a large-scale troop, but I don't understand it, since Cheng Yanjin has already sent troops, and he also asked for assistance and cooperation, Hou Junji and Liu Lan must not sit idly by.
Only a part of the men and horses could be left to garrison, and then the remaining part was rushed to Gongbu Jiangda.
As for the tens of thousands of horsemen in the Tang Dynasty, Bu Jiangda, and whether Songtsen Gampo in the Siam city next to him will be scared to death, well, who cares about him.
Cheng Biting Jin, who walked for two days first, Niu Jinda This way, the Chinese army was the first to arrive at the destination and engaged the Tubo defenders of Gongbu Jiangda.
I don't know if I haven't fought, but when the war really started, Niu Jinda knew why Cheng bit Jin, and such a strong general as Zhi Zhili said that this is a hard stubble.
Nima, it's so hard. Even with the help of the bombs, the stumps and broken arms were flying all over the sky, and the Tibetan defenders were stubbornly carrying the dead and not retreating.
Of course, the Tibetan defenders were not afraid of bombs, and a considerable number of soldiers in it had followed Songtsen Gampo to attack Songzhou, and they had been baptized by bombs when Niu Jinda attacked the camp and had experience in being bombed.
Perhaps the first time they were attacked by a bomb, the Tibetan soldiers would be afraid of the unknown, fearing the punishment of the gods, but after fleeing a few times along the way, they got used to it.
As long as they knew that it was not the heavenly punishment that angered the heavens, but a weapon of the Tang Dynasty, the fear in the hearts of these Tubo soldiers would not be so strong, and they would not be frightened and collapsed by the loud explosion that shook the sky.
Moreover, the determination of the ruler here to resist is also quite resolute, and when the two sides are fighting, the king of Niangbu of this generation will lead 5,000 men and horses to press the battle behind.
King Niangbu is so brave is also one of the important reasons why Songtsen Gampo will divide the northern gateway of Siam City Gongbu Jiangda to King Niangbu, another important reason is naturally because this is the inherent territory of the descendants of King Niangpo, but more importantly, in the old nobles of Tubo rebelled one after another, poisoned Songtsen Gampo's father Langri Ronzan, Dabo, Gongbu, Niangbo and other areas were occupied by rebels, Yangtong in the west of Tubo, the enemy country Subi also echoed with the old nobles inside and outside, when the Tubo Zampu family was stormy, From beginning to end, the Niangbu King family has always stood on the side of Songtsen Gampo, who ascended to the throne of Zampu when he was still a little child.
It is said that adversity sees true love, and the Niangbu King family can be said to have made Songtsen Gampo feel one of the few warmth and loyalty in those difficult years.
Not only that, when Songtsen Gampo eliminated many old nobles and eliminated the hostile forces within the palace to stabilize the situation, the attack from Yangtong was carried down by the full resistance of the Niang clan.
This time the Tang army attacked, and King Niangbu once again showed the courage, determination and strength to resist the sheep at the same time, and vowed to let the Tang army collapse in Gongbu Jiangda.
The leaders of their own family were not afraid, and they gave the Tibetan soldiers unlimited courage, and they were as resolute as they could resist.
However, the gap in strength cannot be bridged with courage and determination alone.
In terms of morale, Tubo has wiped out a lot of large and small tribes in recent years, and the morale of the plateau is very sufficient, but their previous army of 200,000 has been defeated, and the morale must not be compared with the heyday.
And on the Tang side, the morale will only be stronger, because whether it is the Eastern Turks, Xue Yantuo, or Tuyuhun, they are not comparable to those tribes that were wiped out by Tubo, so many big forces have been wiped out by the Tang Dynasty, defeated and defeated, and the morale of the Tang soldiers is already invincible.
Another weapon equipment, how can the Tubo soldiers wearing leather armor and iron knives compare with the well-equipped, steel armor, and steel weapons in the hands of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, which are completely crushed. To put it mildly, if you are tough, the weapons in the hands of the Tang soldiers can cut the weapons of the Tubo soldiers into a few gaps, and if you have excellent arm strength, you can cut them directly.
Also, this time it is not only Cheng Yanjin's more than 10,000 subordinates, but also Niu Jinda's subordinates, the number of troops has nearly doubled, and it is an inevitable attack, where is the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses here in Gongbu Jiangda can resist.
It took less than an hour to harden the top, and after losing thousands of people, the Tubo soldiers couldn't bear it and began to retreat, but because of the pressure of King Niangbu, there was no rout.
The Tibetan army retreated, and the infantry under Cheng Yanjin advanced steadily, while the cavalry under Niu Jinda harassed and attacked on both sides.
At this moment, a group of men and horses from the east rushed towards the Tubo soldiers, and it turned out that Liu Lan arrived with his men.
As the three teams that are horns of each other, Cheng Yanjin and Kang Yanchuan where Niu Jinda are stationed in the middle are relatively behind, while Liu Lan and Hou Junji's east and west roads are ahead, so although the middle road set off first, rushed to Gongbu Jiangda first, and started the war first, but the east and west roads were not slow, and Liu Lan on the west road took the lead in rushing to the battlefield and directly impacted the left side of the Tubo army, and then it didn't take long for Hou Junji to take the men and horses to start attacking the right side.
Niu Jinda's cavalry directly let go of the sides and went around the rear of the Tibetan army to attack their rear.
And the king of Niangbu and his five thousand soldiers and horses have already joined the battlefield.
The addition of 5,000 living forces did not make the Tubo army resist for longer, because the Tang Dynasty added more living forces than them.
As soon as the Tang army, which numbered more than 20,000 people, appeared, it directly crushed the already unbearable Tubo army, and the rout appeared again, this time not because of the bomb, but because of the stronger combat power of the Tang army.
In this battle, there were several great forces in Tubo, and the whole army of King Niangbu and his family was annihilated, and the army of nearly 60,000 people, except for King Niangbu who was protected by hundreds of men and fled, all the rest were lost in the wilderness of Gongbu Jiangda, and the corpse was spread for more than ten miles.
However, the Tang army, which had suffered more than 5,000 casualties, did not stop there, and Niu Jinda, who had been pulled by Wu Yuanqing and had a secret conversation, led the cavalry to the southwest and rushed to kill it.
