Chapter 340: Fight to Fame
Lu Dongzan suddenly realized: "If Zampu decides to use the white yak elite soldiers, the minister thinks that my Turks will win this battle." The white yak elite soldiers are the most elite army in my Tubo, everyone is not afraid of death, they are extremely brave, they are all the elite drawn from the army of various tribes in my Tubo, they are absolutely loyal to Zampu, and their weapons and equipment are also the best in my Tubo. If the white yak elite soldiers meet the auxiliary army led by the Tang Niu Jinda, the minister thinks that my Tubo will definitely win. â
Songtsen Gampo said: "Okay, since Da Lun also agrees with Ben Zanpu's idea, let's get ready to start, this time, we in Tubo must let the proud and arrogant Tang people see how powerful I am in Tubo." â
Bailong Pass, a very dangerous fortress in the southeast of Tubo. Once you pass the White Dragon Pass, it is the Songzhou of the Tang Dynasty.
Bailongguan, with dangerous terrain, is the southeast gateway of the entire Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and has always been a battleground for the Central Plains Dynasty and the Tubo Dynasty. Bailongguan, hold Minling, control Jiangyuan, the left neighbor of the river, the right to Kangzang, easy to defend and difficult to attack, after Tubo controls Bailongguan, has been set up here to set up a lieutenant, there are heavy troops.
In the city of Bailong Pass, the sound of bull horns one after another, suddenly sounded, sharp and urgent, listening to people's blood boiling, soon, five thousand Tubo white yak elite soldiers quickly lined up in the large school field in the pass to form a purging phalanx, except for the hunting battle flag is silent.
Riding on a war horse, the Tubo Great Lun Lu Dongzan shouted: "The army is neat, please Zanpu instruct ......."
Dressed in military uniform and golden robes, Songtsen Gampo rode on a white horse and said in a loud voice: "My most elite warriors in Tibet, you are the most loyal servants and the most courageous warriors of Benzanpu. Not long ago, Ben Zanpu asked the Tang Dynasty to marry a princess, but was rejected by the proud and arrogant Tang people, who looked down on me Tubo and Ben Zanpu, thinking that my Tubo was just a small country with a weak country and a poor people. Ben Zampu is not worthy of marrying their Tang princess, this is the shame of Ben Zampu, and it is also the shame of my Tubo. Today, Ben Zampu summons you, the most loyal and brave warriors of Tibet, to attack the Tang Dynasty, as long as you can be ashamed of Benzanpu and my Tibetan, Benzanpu will pardon your slaves, so that you and your families will become free people in my Tibet, and you can own your own land and your own slaves. If any of you can make outstanding achievements in this war, Ben Zampu will canonize him as the leader, and let him have his own fiefdom and hereditary official position, and his children and grandchildren can enjoy endless glory and wealth. Defeat the Tang Dynasty and wash away the national shame! â
Songtsen Gampo opened extremely superior and generous conditions, and the five thousand white yak elite soldiers suddenly had bright eyes, high morale, and shouted in unison: "Defeat the Tang Dynasty and wash away the shame of the country!" â
The crowd is boiling. The crowd was surging, and the roar of the mountain and the tsunami shook the whole earth.
The horns whined, the horses' hooves rattled (da), and five thousand white yak soldiers were drawn. Songtsen Gampo personally sent this army out of the White Dragon Pass.
Five days later. The duel between Tubo and the Tang Dynasty ended, and Songtsen Gampo personally led the army to reach the city of Songzhou, a scene that made Songtsan Gampo, who had been fighting for many years, feel shocked! Under the remnant sun, on a mountain plateau (yuan) within a radius of twenty or thirty miles. Everywhere there were layers of corpses, mixed with various broken weapons, blood-drenched war horses. Flying battle flags! The jĮ (jiu) pecking corpses were flying in flocks, and large black crows were gathering all over the dead trees on the hills, making endless noise, and the warm smell of blood filled the entire valley with the bleak autumn wind, so strong that people vomited violently!
A man covered in blood and covered with knife wounds walked up to Songtsen Gampo, knelt down and said: "Zampu, the battle is over, my Tubo and Datang have been tied, the two sides fought fiercely for two days and nights, more than 4,500 soldiers on both sides were killed, and the remaining 3,400 people were physically and mentally exhausted, unable to fight again, and the two sides had no choice but to withdraw their troops." The commanders, deputy commanders and generals and colonels at all levels of the Tubo White Yak elite soldiers were all killed in battle, and Liu Lan, the deputy general of the Tang Dynasty, and generals and colonels at all levels were also killed, and the casualty rate of both sides was one to one. â
Songtsen Gampo didn't say a word, and after a careful look, he found that the bloody man standing in front of him was the commander of the army in this battle, and the Tubo Great Commentator Lu Dongzan.
After being silent for a long time, Songtsen Gampo sighed with emotion: "The casualty rate of one to one, Benzanpu thought that in this battle, I would win in Tibet, but I didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty was so strong, and an auxiliary army had such a strong combat power and such a tenacious fighting spirit." â
A heavy footstep gradually approached, Songtsen Gampo raised his head, saw a large torch surrounding, and another bloody man, walking towards Songtsen Gampo.
That bloody man was Niu Jinda, the general of the Tang Dynasty Forward, the head of the Kuoshui Road March, and the general of Zuo Wuwei.
"Zamp." Niu Jinda bowed to Songtsen Gampo with a solemn expression and said: "I have never seen such an army with the heart of death and everyone brave to die for many years. Your Tubo army, with its strong combat power and tenacious will to fight, is rare in the world, and my Tang Dynasty soldiers deeply admire it. In this battle, our two sides fought to a draw, and you Tubo and my Datang each suffered more than 4,500 casualties, after all, our Datang is well-armed and well-equipped, but in fact, it is a defeat to your Tubo army. Niu Jinda and my Tang soldiers sincerely respect and admire your Tubo army, and I Datang is willing to work together with you to separate the corpses of the soldiers of the two armies, so that the heroes and martyrs can return to their homeland and rest in peace. â
Songtsan Gampo also spoke: "Benzanpu has always known that your Tang Dynasty soldiers are strong and have excellent combat power, but I never thought that your Tang Dynasty soldiers would be so strong. The Tubo army that fought with you is my Tubo elite, the white yak elite soldiers who protect Ben Zampu, and the army you command, General Niu, is not the elite of the Tang Dynasty, but only a Tang auxiliary army, a second-line army, but it has a casualty ratio of one to one with my Tubo white yak elite soldiers, and the good fighting of the Tang Dynasty army, Ben Zampu is also deeply impressed. Ben Zampu originally did not want to be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty, but some time ago, Ben Zampu asked the Tang Dynasty to marry the princess, you Tang people despise me Tubo, thinking that my Tubo is a small country with weak people and poor people, and I don't want to marry the princess to Ben Zampu, Ben Zampu was forced to have no choice but to attack Tuyuhun and fight with the Tang Dynasty to prove that I am strong in Tubo and good at fighting in Tubo. Now that the strength of the Tang Dynasty is as strong as this, Ben Zampu is deeply impressed, and I, Tubo, am also willing to join forces with you Datang to separate the corpses of the soldiers of the two armies, so that the heroes and martyrs can return to their homeland and rest in peace.
