At this moment, Lu Chen had returned directly from the forest to the army station. As soon as the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info came back, he saw Li Xinran running over with an excited face, and said, "Lu Chen, tell you good news!" The Tibetans are finally attacking again, and we can fight! ”

Lu Chen: ".......... "This is good news?"

However, since they are going to fight, Lu Chen and they will inevitably play, not to mention that Lu Chen has promised Lin Yuan before that he will make some achievements.

Lu Chen inquired about the specific situation, but Li Xinran didn't know much, she just knew that yesterday, the scouts in front came back to report that the remnants of the soldiers who had retreated to the Tubo realm had begun to cross the border and harass them again these days, and several villages were directly looted by them.

Lu Chen asked with some confusion: "These villages should know that it is very dangerous in this kind of border between the two countries, why don't they move?" ”

"General Lin Yuan sent people to persuade him before, but they were all rejected by the people in the nearby villages, they said that this is the ancestral land left by their ancestors, and they will not leave even if they die here.

Lu Chen suddenly didn't know what to say, there were still such brainless people, and there were not a few, no wonder these Tubo people often came to plunder, these people seemed to be a pile of fat meat in the eyes of the Tubo people, and the fat meat was dangling around in their mouths all day long, and everyone wanted to bite into it.

Because most of the Tibetan people live in the plateau area, which is not suitable for growing food at all. Therefore, famines often occurred in them, and in order to avoid starvation, they could only organize people to plunder the border of the Tang Dynasty.

Before, because the Tubo army was too powerful, it directly hit the city of Minzhou, which alarmed the Jiannan Jiedu envoy, and he immediately sent his general, Lin Yuan, to meet the Tubo army. Under the command of General Lin Yuan, in just three or four days, their army defeated the Tibetan army and forced them all back into the territory of Tibet.

However, the behavior of these Tibetans was somewhat strange, and after they were defeated, they were supposed to go back immediately, but these remnants of the defeated army did not go back, but gathered together again, and then settled in a small city in Tibet, near the border of the Tang Dynasty.

Originally, Lin Yuan and others thought that the Tubo people in western Zhejiang would recuperate in the small city and then evacuate, but now that the war has passed for a long time, the Tubo soldiers in the small city not only did not flee, but began to loot some villages on the border of the Tang Dynasty.

After listening to Li Xinran, Lu Chen also frowned slightly, since this Tubo was completely defeated before, there is no reason for them to be so rampant now, is there any way for them to resist Lin Yuan's army?

However, according to the current level of war, Lu Chen really couldn't think of the possibility of these remnants turning the tables, unless they had some conspiracy. If it weren't for the frontal resistance, but with other methods, it would not be impossible to defeat Lin Yuan's army.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen turned to Li Xinran and said, "Do you have any detailed information about the last decisive battle between General Lin Yuan and Tubo?" ”

Hearing Lu Chen's words, I saw Li Xinran looking at him with a puzzled expression, and said, "It's been so long since that decisive battle, what do you want those materials for?" ”

"I always feel that something is wrong with this Tibetan behavior, and I want to start with the last decisive battle to see if I can find some useful information."

Li Xinran nodded, and said, "I'll go to General Lin Yuan and ask, if there is, I'll ask you to come" After speaking, she walked straight towards Lin Yuan's tent, and Lu Chen returned to his tent. It didn't take long to see Li Xinran walking in with a stack of papers, and said, "These are all records of that battle, if you want to see it, you can read it yourself!" ”

After speaking, Li Xinran directly put him on the table, and then Lu Chen thought of his two thousand soldiers and asked, "How are our two thousand soldiers trained?" ”

"Anyway, they are training according to the plan you set, I don't know the specifics, I went to see them twice after you left, and when I saw that they were training very well, I left!"

Lu Chen's "........" doesn't urge them to train, so why are you leaving?

Lu Chen chatted with Li Xinran for a while, and let Li Xinran leave on the grounds that she wanted to see these materials, although she didn't want to go, but Li Xinran was not a vexatious person, seeing that Lu Chen really wanted to study the materials he brought, she muttered dissatisfaction and walked out of the tent.

Lu Chen sat directly at the table and looked at it from the first piece of paper. This is recorded in great detail, and even the approximate number of these Tibetans and their equipment before are recorded on paper one by one.

As soon as he started looking, Lu Chen noticed that something was wrong, Tufan had more than 40,000 people attacking the army this time, but with such a huge army, their food reserves were only enough to eat for about a week. This is very abnormal, although it seems that there is a lot of food and grass to eat for a week, after all, the Tibetan army often goes to the border of the Tang Dynasty to loot, as long as they grab something, they will return immediately. But with 40,000 troops dispatched at one time, Lu Chen didn't believe that they were just for looting.

If it weren't for looting, it would obviously be a bit insufficient to carry seven or eight days' worth of grain and grass. Under normal circumstances, the army should carry at least a few months of grain and grass on an expedition, even if this side of the frontier is relatively close, it must also carry enough grain and grass for a month, after all, once such a confrontation and siege occurs, it will take at least four or five days.

Lu Chen kept this doubt in his heart and continued to look down, after the 40,000 army arrived at the city of Minzhou, he did not rush to attack, but swept around here, although it was recorded that they were sweeping the surrounding villages, but the resources consumed by the 40,000 army to go out on the expedition were not something that could be made up for by sweeping the surrounding small villages.

Lu Chen continued to look at it, and the back seemed a little more normal, and on the third day, the sweeping army began to besiege Minzhou City. However, their siege did not seem to be active at all, and only more than 100 people were killed or injured in the half-day siege.

In the afternoon, the army led by Lin Yuan had arrived, and when he saw Lin Yuan's army, Tubo immediately stopped attacking the city and gathered troops to fight against the army led by Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan first sent a vanguard force of about 5,000 men to outflank them from the flank, while the 15,000-strong army in front rushed straight towards the Tibetan army. In this way, under the attack from both sides, the 40,000-strong army of Tubo collapsed on all fronts, and General Lin Yuan pursued until Tubo was the closest to the Tang Dynasty, and then Mingjin withdrew his troops.

Lu Chen frowned slightly again when he saw this, the 40,000 troops of Tubo were defeated and retreated, although the combat effectiveness of the Tubo army was somewhat different from that of the Tang Dynasty, but it was still okay to support it for ten days and half a month, why did they retreat so quickly?
