Chapter 210: A Difficult Defense

Although Fang has just experienced a big battle, and caused nearly double the casualties to the enemy, and through the battle of Fang Cai, the Tubo army was frustrated, but even so, the Tang army is also at an absolute disadvantage, and now Wang Xiaojie has only about 8,000 people, while the Tubo army still has nearly 50,000 people.

It's almost an eight-to-one ratio, in such a situation, why don't the soldiers of Datang die for a lifetime? It's like ten deaths!

But all the soldiers did not give in, they still meticulously organized the defense, and did their best to resist every wave of enemy attacks.

At this time, Mai Gongda, the deputy general of the Tubo army, said to the main general Garzan Gongton, that is, the fifth brother of the Garqin Tomb, Bo Lunzan Blade: "General, I don't understand, their Tang Barbarian's art of war wrote, ten rules to encircle, now although our army strength is less than ten times, but seven or eight times is always there, why our army does not adopt a long-term siege strategy, but instead does not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of soldiers to launch a non-stop attack?" What is the truth in this? ”

But he snorted and said lightly: "You know a fart!" What is the situation today? Although our army is ten times larger than the enemy, but the Tang reinforcements will come at any time, this support army is an army of 80,000 led by Li Xian himself, Li Xian you know, right? In that battle eight years ago, this guy made me lose 300,000 troops in Tibet, if this embryo is coming, how can I fight with this little force in my hands? At that time, it will no longer be our army besieging Tang Man, but our army will be attacked by Tang Man's internal and external forces, and it will be difficult to save his life at that time, let alone destroy this Tang Man. ”

When Mai Gongda heard this, he suddenly showed a look of admiration, and said flatteringly: "The general really sees thousands of miles and is resourceful, and he has thought of such a deep thing, and the last general is really admired!" ”

Bo Lunzan glanced at Mai Gongda proudly, and said lightly: "There are so many things that you need to learn here, boy, if it is so easy to fight, wouldn't everyone be a god of war?" If that's the case, how can I highlight my second brother's status? ”

Although he looked very proud on the surface, he was very ashamed in his heart, because he had asked the same question at the beginning, and his remarks were copied from his second brother Garqinling.

After that, Bo Lunzan ordered the army to launch wave after wave of strong attacks on the Tang Dynasty army, although the Tang army had the advantage of defense and the formation was neat, but it was still seriously damaged, and nearly 2,000 people were killed on the first day!

None of the nearly 2,000 people were seriously injured, and none of them were killed for violating military discipline, all of them were killed in battle, and they were all killed in a vigorous battle, and even if they were dying, they all pulled at least one enemy on their backs.

Therefore, correspondingly, this day also brought 3,000 casualties to Tibet.

Although he was very surprised by the Tang army's super combat effectiveness, but Bo Lunzan still did not stop the attack on the Tang army, he divided the army into three parts, a part of about 15,000 people, attacked in turn, and even at night was still harassing, which made the Tang army soldiers not rest, and even did not even take care of eating, but even so, the Tang Dynasty army did not give in at all, they did not eat, did not sleep, and fought with the Tibetan soldiers so sleeplessly, no one was timid, and no one surrendered.

"This, this, I really didn't expect that there were such tenacious and unyielding soldiers in the Tang Barbarian Army, our army paid nearly 7,000 casualties with seven or eight times the number of people, and also brought nearly half of its losses, but it still did not make it succumb, these people are so stubborn and desperate, which one is it for?"

Bo Lunzan's eyes were full of admiration, but also full of strong helplessness.

It's been a day and a night, and everyone in Tibet feels tired and their morale has begun to decline, because in this day and night, they have only harvested thousands of casualties, and there is no other benefit, although they still have an absolute advantage in numbers, but for the soldiers who participated in the battle, the number of people makes no difference to them at all, because no matter how many people there are, they can't avoid their casualties, although watching those Tang soldiers crumbling, a gust of wind can blow down, but once they come to them, they immediately turned into savage and crazy tiger wolves, and surrounding them was a deadly attack.

"General, what should I do? Do you want to keep going on the offensive? Mai Gongda saw that the soldiers under his command had been sharply reduced by 3,000 people, and if he returned, he was afraid that the strength of the tribe would be greatly reduced, so he couldn't help but be anxious, and said loudly: "If we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that we will pay the price of 20,000 people, and we will not get anything useful at that time, and sacrifice more than 20,000 of our loyal and brave soldiers for the defeat of these remnants, and there is no benefit at all, general, is it worth it?" ”

After listening to what Mai Gongda said, a trace of pain suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he thought silently for a moment, and then sighed softly: "What you said also makes sense, but do you know it? These soldiers are the elite force of Datang, if they survive, only a few dozen people can build an army of thousands into an iron army, such elite seeds can not be let go! What's more, the losses of the Tang army are almost half, and we will be able to wipe them all out in one day at most, but if we withdraw the siege and let them into the city, one person can be worth the combat power of ten people, as long as they hold out for a maximum of half a month, Li Xian's army will come, in this case, how can we attack Shancheng? And Shancheng can't be captured, this time we can only stop when we conquer the Tang Dynasty, and it is impossible to even stop, and it is already good to be able to surrender Dafeichuan under the pressure of the Tang army. ”

Therefore, after this, Bo Lunzan did not dare to slack off at all, and ordered his army to continue to attack the Tang army, as long as the Tang army did not give up resistance, it would never stop attacking.

Therefore, on the next battlefield, it is still a tragic lesson, and even before the tragedy, because after a long period of fighting, the fighting spirit of the soldiers in Tibet is getting lower and lower, and the soldiers of the Tang Army are more tragic in the face of death, but their morale has never declined.

In fact, in such a situation, one by one is the best thing to do, they should indeed postpone the attack when the Tang army is extremely tired, so that the Tang army will polish off the accumulated morale when resting, and it will be easier to attack again later.

However, the strategy of attacking with all his might was formulated by Garqinling himself, even if he was his own brother, and he was also the only younger brother of Garqinling now, Bo Lunzan did not dare to disobey his second brother's order and stop the attack.

In fact, if the attack is postponed like this, they will definitely wait for reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty, but there are a lot of deviations in the estimate of the Garqin Tomb, because at the very least, he did not expect that the Tang Dynasty soldiers would have such an unyielding will and determination to fight to the death. I don't know that all this is due to Tang Xiujing and Wang Xiaojie's devilish training methods obtained from Li Xian, as well as Li Xian's oath when he went out this time.

Although Li Xian's army had not yet arrived at the front line, the situation of Li Xian's oath division at that time had already flown to the various armies of the Tang Dynasty, especially Wang Xiaojie, who had been appointed as the deputy chief of the Taohe Road March, and the soldiers under his command.

"The king of Zhou has settled our family, and it is strictly forbidden for the generals to take the credit of the pretending soldiers, in this case, if we don't work hard, how can we afford the settlement fee of the king of Zhou? How to be worthy of your own national society? If I fight for this life to kill you as a thief, the country will remember my merits, promote my title, and give me land, how can I easily let go of such an opportunity? So, for the sake of the family, for the sake of the wife and daughter, and for the future prosperity of the children, even if they die? ”

"A hot-blooded man comes to this world for a walk, and it is also a great pleasure to be vigorous, haha, if he can bring some wealth to his children and grandchildren, it will be even more desirable."

"Although history may not remember the names of our gang, it can always remember this battle, remember that there are our people, who fought to the death to the last breath in order to protect the family and defend the country, even if they were about to die, they had to pull the thief on their backs.

"**** mother, the Tubo thieves are really cowards, so many people are still scared when they see us, hehe, after this battle of my Tang iron-blooded man, he will definitely become famous all over the world, and I will wait for one by one to die and still be honored."

Although the soldiers have different ideas, but in their bones they are all fearless, fighting to the death, although they know that they will die, but they also persist until the last moment, almost no one has a complete corpse, even if they are seriously injured and dying, they do not forget to hurt the enemy, such a tragic tragedy is absolutely rare in a thousand years.

The battle lasted for another day and a night, and the officers and men of the Tang Army fought desperately without food or water for two days and two nights, and it seemed that they would fall at any time, but they refused to fall.

At this time, the attrition of the Tang army was very serious, 12,000 people after two days and two nights of fighting, now there are only 5,000 people left, and at this time the Tubo army still has more than 40,000 people, although the casualties of the Tubo army are far greater than the Tang army, but the absolute advantage of numbers is becoming more and more obvious.

"Now we have held out to the last moment, the soldiers have not eaten or drunk for two days and two nights, and they can't hold on any longer, if another day passes, even if they don't do it, we will all die of hunger and thirst, so now we can only take the initiative to attack, even if they all die, we must make the thieves pay enough price!" Wang Xiaojie was covered with bloodstains, some of which flowed out of his own body, and some of which were splashed after killing the enemy, his horizontal knife had already been curled, and his robe had already been torn to pieces, although the whole person was embarrassed and extremely tired, but he was still high-spirited, like a javelin standing upright.

But at this moment, he suddenly heard a rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Wang Xiaojie was shocked when he heard it, stood on a high place and looked, only to see that the smoke and dust were rolled up not far away, and a big face was exposed in the smoke and dust, although he couldn't see clearly, but Wang Xiaojie could recognize it at a glance, and it was definitely a person from the Tang Dynasty.

"Our reinforcements have arrived, we have been saved, pass the order down, and prepare to attack!" Wang Xiaojie suddenly perked up and ordered loudly. (To be continued.) )
