Chapter 169: The Yellow Sparrow is behind
The Tubo marshal looked at the deputy general next to him and said, "You guys should go too, remember that you only need to beat them back and don't let them rush up." ”
"The last will obey. Kill. The Tibetan generals also carried guns and rode horses to kill them.
Li Jingxuan was the first to bear it, as a general of the Tang Army, he really didn't fear anyone in the battlefield charge. The two armies clashed directly, and Li Jingxuan fought several lieutenants with one enemy and three consecutive battles, but it was simply that Da Langba was not here, otherwise, Da Langba alone would be enough for him.
On the other side, the deputy general of the Tang Army also found an opportunity to find an opportunity to break through on the other side when the Tubo Army was trying its best to suppress the main force of the Tang Army. The Tibetan army was numerous, about 30,000 or 40,000 people. Moreover, occupying a favorable position, the archers were suppressed at a high place, and the charge of the Tang army in front was completely suppressed, even if they broke through the cavalry of the Tubo army, it was difficult for the archers behind to break through.
The deputy general of the Tang Army also broke through at the risk of death, and a small detachment of dozens of people fought out from the flank and rushed towards a pass.
"Marshal, there is a Tang army that is about to break through, do you want me to intercept it." The deputy general of Tubo who was sitting on it had already seen this situation.
"Just chase it and make a show. Don't kill everyone, run out of bait. How did this prey take the bait? The Tibetan marshal obviously had a plan, "In addition, inform Da Langba that you are ready to do it." Tell him he can't miss again this time. ”
"General, you can't rush out. There are too many enemies, and there is a terrain advantage. "Several lieutenants led the troops to rush several times, but they all returned in vain.
Li Jingxuan saw that the small group of men and horses had rushed out of the enemy formation, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. "Everyone retreat, don't rush out again, we wait for reinforcements."
Liangzhou City,
Li Shan also returned, Shen Shixing successfully found saltpeter, and Li Shan also got enough sulfur. It's only a matter of time before gunpowder is made.
"Where's General Lee?" Li Shan came to the General's Mansion, and now he can discuss the issue of tactics. If you can take the enemy by surprise and lead the enemy to fight, the power of the thunder will definitely make the enemy army rout.
With a thunderous army, the offensive ability can be improved a lot, and most importantly, the ability to defend the city can also be increased several times.
When the master saw Li Shan, it was naturally difficult to say where the general had gone. "The general took his troops to inspect the outside of the city, and he will be back soon."
"Okay, you can inform me when he comes back, I have something to discuss with the general." Li Shan has no doubt about him.
The master agreed: "Okay, don't worry." ”
That's when it happened. A sergeant hurried in. "Report, General Li is besieged by the enemy in Zhangyi Town, please send troops to support as soon as possible."
Then a bloodied lieutenant was carried in by two sergeants. "Li Jianjun, we were ambushed by the enemy when we attacked the Tubo grain team. Now the situation is extremely critical, so send troops to the rescue. ”
Li Shan was taken aback, "What? In Zhangyizhen? Sneak attack on the enemy's food convoy? Master, what's going on? Li Shan was very annoyed, Li Shan made an appointment with General Li for three chapters before he set off, and did not make any moves until he returned.
The master couldn't hide it. can only confess: "Alas, General Li is very earnest, and a few days ago he got the news that the Tubo army was short of food and grass, so he planned to find an opportunity to sneak attack their grain team." What did you want to be calculated. Let's send our troops quickly. ”
"Hurry up and gather the lieutenant generals in the city to discuss together." Without a general, Li Shan is now the biggest official, but he can't be arbitrary, so he can only find someone to discuss.
"You can't send troops to the rescue." It turned out to be Xue Wei who spoke. "The Tibetan army itself has more military strength than ours, and now it has a geographical advantage, so it can wait for work. We struck rashly. In case the other party surrounds the point to send reinforcements, or even directly takes our Liangzhou City, wouldn't it be a complete defeat? ”
"What Lord Xue said makes sense, we can't send troops." Gao Xianzhi also agreed with Xue Wei's statement.
Everyone else agreed, and now it seems that the only way to do this is to abandon the car and protect the handsome.
Li Shan looked at everyone, and no one seemed to agree to send troops to rescue.
"Do you all think you shouldn't send troops to the rescue?" Li Shan asked.
"It's not a question of whether it should be or not, but it can't be saved." Xue Wei pointed out the crux of the matter, "Now the Tubo army must be waiting for the rabbit, waiting for us to go to death." ”
"Don't you save because you can't save it? Think about it, those 20,000 people were our brothers, how many times we were born and died, we used to fight side by side, we were brothers and sisters at that time. But now that they are trapped in an enemy trap, can we just sit idly by? Just throw them away like garbage? What would you think if you were under siege right now? ”
All the soldiers were a little ashamed when they heard Li Shan's words, after all, too many of those people were their friends. Some have saved their own lives, some may have known each other when they joined the army, and some are their fellow villagers.
"You said lightly, now going to the rescue is tantamount to death. If you want to talk about brotherhood, you have to be alive. Xue Wei disagreed.
Li Shan glanced at Xue Wei with disdain, he was really a tiger father and a dog, this Xue Wei did not look like his grandfather Xue Rengui at all.
"I won't give up on my brother, as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, I will definitely go to the rescue, who wants to go with me?"
Li Shan now has a little prestige in the army, and he is still a supervisor of the army, and he is the highest commander at this time.
"I'll go with you." Shen Shixing stood up, he trusted Li Shan, and he also knew that Li Shan would never do anything that he was not sure of.
"Me too." Gao Xianzhi also stood up, and he also believed in Li Shan.
And me, count me in......
All the generals and officials were also bloody people, and they responded one after another, but Xue Wei was silent.
Li Shan slightly, came to the front of the map.
"We can't rush forward, if I am a Tibetan general, I will definitely surround and send reinforcements at this time. Then we'll do the opposite. We don't go to the rescue, we fight their reinforcements. If you want to besiege 20,000 cavalry, you must have at least the same amount of cavalry and a certain number of infantry. At present, the Tubo army must have a large number of troops in Zhangyi Town, and the military strength is about 50,000. If we want to go to the rescue, we must send the corresponding troops. Assuming we send 40,000 troops to the rescue, we should be able to rescue the cavalry. And the Tubo army will definitely think so. Their military strength is stronger than ours, so they will definitely gather superior forces to encircle and suppress our reinforcements. And at this time, their weakest point is here. ”
After Li Shan's analysis, he knocked a point on the map, the ancient town.
Li Shan's whole army was on the horse, and this time he led the team, and more than a dozen deputy generals were all dispatched by him.
The war horse also seemed to be infected by this nervous anger, and he shaved his hooves uneasily, panting heavily.
Li Shan rode in front of the lined army and shouted: "Brothers, your siblings are besieged in Zhangyi Town, and the Tubo people think that we dare not go to the rescue, but we want to tell them one thing today, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will not give up their brothers, and the army of the Tang Dynasty is fearless." Success or failure in this move, we are the army of the Tang Dynasty, when have we been afraid of the Tibetan barbarians. Today, I will teach them what the art of war is and what is the Great Wall made of iron and blood. Send you a poem, Qingshan buries loyal bones everywhere, why should the horse leather shroud be returned. (To be continued.) )
