Chapter 0330: Shocking Reversal
Bursts of horns sounded in the night, like ghosts whimpering, and tens of thousands of Tibetan troops began to retreat;
Dazaru Gong is worthy of being a famous Tibetan general, and while he retreated, he sent his cronies to lead 5,000 men and horses to lay a defensive line along the south bank of the Yaoshui River.
At the same time, in order to facilitate the coordinated battle, he ordered the prince of Tuyuhun Kachin to his big tent to avoid ordering each door to go his own way.
As soon as these arrangements were made, Dazarugon shouted to the generals in the tent: "Barrhu! ”
"The end will be."
"You immediately lead 3,000 men and horses back to Tiecheng City, find out the situation, if Tiecheng has been attacked by the Tang Army, you take advantage of the Tang Army's unstable foothold, immediately counterattack and take Tiecheng back, if you can't recapture Tiecheng before dawn, behead!"
"Yes!" Dressed in leather armor, Bal was a burly man, and immediately rushed out of the tent.
Immediately afterwards, Dazarugon whispered and solemnly said to the Tuyuhun prince Kachin: "Kachin, you immediately take 8,000 men and horses to defend Bailugou, you don't have to worry about anything else, just guard Bailugou no matter what." If Bal can't recapture Tieqi City, Bailugou will be our only way out. If the Tang army is allowed to occupy it, our tens of thousands of troops will have no way to retreat, and we will all have to die on the banks of this Yaoshui River. ”
Seeing that he was so solemn, Kachin knew that the matter was serious, so he hurriedly responded, and quickly went out of the tent to squeeze his own men and horses, and rushed to Bailugou.
Dazaru Gong was not surprised, and the general Zhang Chi was dispatched. This made the subordinates, who were originally a little flustered, quickly settle down, and the defense line on the south bank of the Yaoshui River quickly took shape.
And among the tens of thousands of Tang troops who were still in defeat just now, they couldn't figure out the situation for a while, and Wang Zhonghei arrived in time. Although the mood of the Tang army calmed down a lot, the process of Wang Zhongsi taking over the army was not very smooth.
It's on this one. Dong Yanguang was still unwilling to admit defeat and unwilling to hand over the command of the army to Wang Zhonghei. He rejected it on the grounds that the Holy Purpose was himself.
Fortunately, Wang Zhongsi acted resolutely, did not hesitate to break through with his own soldiers, controlled Dong Yanguang, and then quickly took over the command of tens of thousands of troops as the ambassador of Longyou Jiedu.
This process is simple to say, but it is full of risks, and it also makes tens of thousands of Tang troops miss the opportunity to reflexively pursue Dazarugon when he retreats.
Dong Yanguang is also a general who has experienced a hundred battles, and he took the initiative to retreat before, and tens of thousands of troops retreated without crushing.
After Wang Zhongsi took over the military command, he immediately recruited generals. He announced loudly: "Yesterday I received a message from Li Sheren, saying that he was going to take five hundred elite cavalry to attack the stone fort, and according to the current situation, Li Sheren should be successful. ”
In the big tent, Feng Shoujie, Wang Rare, Cao Yan, Ge Shuhan, Li Guangbi, Ge Chengyu and other generals heard the news, and they were all in an uproar, Li Ang, it's Li Ang again!
When the army was defeated and retreated, how did Li Ang turn things around? Raiding the Stone Fort?
Countless questions lingered in the hearts of the generals, and no one could answer them, but at least they could explain why someone suddenly shouted something on the towering stone castle, "You are not seen." Huo Biyao, rampant in Qinghai with a knife at night, and took a purple robe from the West Tushi Fort".
"Great. The last general was willing to be the vanguard and immediately counterattack the Tibetan army. ”
Ge Shuhan because of the military exploits he made a while ago. He was promoted by Wang Zhongsi to be the deputy envoy of the Great Dou Army.
He followed Dong Yanguang to fight the stone fort this time, and guarded Bailugou for nearly ten days. Now that he heard that Li Ang had attacked the stone fort and forced Dazarugon's tens of thousands of troops to retreat in a hurry, he was unwilling to let go of such a fighter, so he immediately stood up and asked for battle.
Li Guangbi and other generals also stood up to ask for battle, only Wang rarely stood still alone, these days, the elite under his command is almost exhausted, and he is also injured in many places, it is really unbearable to fight again, he has always been brave, he can only watch others snatch the merits, and he hates Dong Yanguang to death in his heart.
Wang Zhongsi looked at the generals who were eager to try, he knew very well in his heart that after all, tens of thousands of Tang troops had just been defeated and retreated, although because of the news of Li Ang's successful attack on the stone fort, the morale had been improved, but in the past ten days of hard fighting, there were heavy casualties, and the vitality has not recovered.
Therefore, the first battle is very crucial, if it can be won, even if it only needs to achieve a small result, it can really cheer up the tens of thousands of troops, but if it is frustrated again, I am afraid that the morale that has just been boosted by Li Ang's capture of the stone castle will be exhausted.
Originally, for the sake of prudence, we should first find out the situation of the Tibetan army, find out the truth and truth, and then fight back.
But Li Ang only has a few hundred people, and he suddenly attacked and took the stone fort, and in the case of an unstable foothold, he would immediately face the crazy counterattack of the Tubo army, if he didn't immediately fight back at Dazarugon, so that he had time to counterattack the stone fort, Li Ang Whether they could hold it or not, it's hard to say.
Ge Shuhan's 5,000 men and horses have been defending in Bailugou these days, and they have not participated in the battle of Shibao, and the casualties are relatively light, so Wang Zhongsi said to him: "Ge Shuhan, this commander will order you to be the vanguard and fight back against Dazaru Gong, this battle is not allowed to be defeated, if you lose, you have to come and see yourself!" ”
"The last general obeys!"
Ge Shuhan received the order, immediately turned around and went out of the tent, took his five thousand men and horses, and turned back to kill the Yaoshui River.
At this time, on the stone castle city, Li Ang and they had just completed the elimination of the remnants of Tubo, and immediately had to put into the tense defense, Li Ang sent Hua Qiu to lead one hundred and fifty people to defend the small square platform below, and the rest of the men and horses all followed him to stay on the big square platform.
"Quick, move all the rolling stone sassals to the east pedestal, and the corpses of the Tubo people, move them up, don't worry about anything, wait for the Tubo people to come up and smash them down, hurry up!"
Li Ang roared anxiously, although it was an attack, but in the process of attacking the big and small square platforms, they also sacrificed more than 30 people, and now there are only more than 310 people left on his big square platform, it can be expected that soon the Tubo people will counterattack from the north and south.
Whether they can hold the stone fort or not, this is not only related to the overall battle situation between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, but also related to their life and death, because they can't hold it, they don't even have a way to retreat, only death.
"Everyone cheer up, everyone must be determined to put their lives on the ground of death, hold the stone fort, and wait for Ambassador Wang's reinforcements to arrive, we will be victorious, and then the saint will be happy, and everyone will be able to increase the official and enter the knighthood just around the corner!"
Leon was holding a horizontal knife in his hand, constantly encouraging the soldiers, they had rushed all the way, and had just experienced a bloody battle, everyone was very tired, and they had to be encouraged to do so.
"Report! Li Sheren, the enemy army from the north has attacked! ”
"Good time!" Li Ang roared, jumped onto the pedestal, looked down the cliff, and in the cold moonlight, he could see shadowy figures, rushing up the mountain road.
A large number of corpses of Tang soldiers were piled up on the mountain road, and they were not buried. Greatly hindering the speed of the Tubo people, Li Ang waved his arm and shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Quick! Push the corpse of the Tubo down first and smash the damn! ”
