Chapter 0398 It's Hard to Ride a Tiger

Dazarukong's army is approaching, and at this time, Li Guangbi has to do not only to hold off Dazarukan for a few days, but also to further demoralize the Tibetan army.

When Li Sheng attacked the enemy camp at night, defeated Samba, and moved to the Camel Bridge, Li Guangbi immediately ordered his commander Qi Jinglan to lead a thousand men and horses to attack.

However, Nie Chi, the enemy's forward general, was very alert, and as soon as he learned of Li Sheng's attack, he gave the order to retreat. He came on light horse, all cavalry, and ran as soon as he mounted his horse, and retreated very quickly.

Li Sheng and Qi Jinglan failed to complete the flanking attack, and Nie Chi had already fled quickly towards Dazarugong's main force. Li Sheng and Qi Jinglan chased out for nearly ten miles on the left and right, at this time they received news from the front, Dazaru Gong sent two thousand cavalry to meet Nie Chi, Li and Qi had to give up the pursuit, each back to the station, at this time the sky was slightly bright.

On this night, the sound of hooves on the north bank of the Yellow River shook the ground, and the sound of killing echoed all night. Although Nie Chi almost attacked the hillside several times, he also paid a lot of price, with more than 300 casualties, and in the end, fortunately, he was clever and escaped.

Samba was not so lucky, he had 5,000 men and horses, but he was defeated by Li Sheng in one fell swoop, and the corpses were all over the field, and when he fled back to join the main force of Dazarugon, a small number of people, only about 3,000 people could escape back, and Li Sheng killed nearly 1,500 people, which can be described as heavy casualties.

Those who were lucky enough to escape were also frightened, and many people lost their armor in the process of escaping, and almost lost their pants.

The weapons are gone, the courage is gone, and even if such a person escapes back, he will not be able to fight again. In the morning light, Dazarugon watched the remnants of Samba's troops defeated, and he was angry.

You must know that his main army of tens of thousands of people, because he was dragged by Li Mi in the Yak River for three days, when he set off again, there were already complaints and morale was very poor.

Well, before I saw the camel bridge, Samba was defeated and fled back in a hurry, and his embarrassed appearance was tantamount to giving his tens of thousands of troops a handful.

Dazarugon was ruthless, and in the name of Samba's ineffective fighting, he beheaded Samba in public! Bloody heads were hung from flagpoles to deter the cowardly soldiers.

The only consolation is that the city of Damomen is still occupied by the rebels, and Li Guangbi's men and horses are still desperately attacking the city, trying to recapture the city and open up contact with the rear.

By this time, Dazarugon's army of tens of thousands was only thirty miles from the Camel Bridge, and he could no longer retreat.

Just imagine, Samba has just returned from a fiasco, and if his tens of thousands of troops retreat without firing a single arrow, what will others think of him?

The rebellion in Da Momen City has not yet subsided, and the retreat of Li Guangbi and Li Sheng is still in a state of interruption, if his tens of thousands of troops do not take the opportunity to kill them, but retreat, will Tubo Zampu also cut off his head to show the public?

After dealing with Samba, Dazaru Gong ordered Princess Zhuoma to lead an army of 10,000 to besiege Shudun City, and he himself took 40,000 horses to attack Li Guangbi.

However, at this time, Princess Zhuoma, who had been the main battle, withdrew after "judging the situation".

As soon as Dazarugon's order arrived, she found Lang? Mei Se persuaded him: "Da Yan, the situation is not right. ”

On the military front, Lang? Mei Se trusts Princess Dolma very much, and when she heard her say that the situation is not right, Lang? Mei Se became nervous: "What's wrong, say it quickly!" ”

"In a big way, Samba's 5,000 men and horses were defeated so badly, which shows that the combat strength of the Tang Army is extraordinary, and this situation is a bit contrary to common sense. Imagine, Ma Kuisan of the Ningsai Army rebelled, occupied the city of Da Momen, and cut off the back road of Li Guangbi and Li Sheng.

But now this is obviously not the case, Li Guangbi was attacked from both sides, but his will to fight was still so tenacious, blocking Nie Chi's strong attacks again and again. Li Sheng even burst out with unprecedented combat effectiveness, defeating Samba to the ground, where is this like an army that has broken off and lost its vitality? ”

Bright? Mei Se asked hesitantly, "Princess Zhuoma, what do you mean...... Are the Tang Army rebels in the city of Da Momen fake? Li Guangbi and Li Sheng's back road has not been cut off at all? ”

Princess Zhuoma nodded and said, "According to the current signs, I suspect that this is exactly the case, this may really be a trap on the part of Li Ang, who deliberately lured our army over. The morale of our army is already very low, and if we spend a few more days in Shudun City and Camel Bridge, it will be very dangerous. ”

Bright? Mei Se nodded frequently when she heard this, Samba's fiasco was like pouring a basin of cold water on his head, and the situation was indeed a little wrong. It's just that he still can't figure it out, what kind of purpose does Leon want to achieve by doing this?

"Princess Zhuoma, most of us are cavalry, if we don't cross the river, we can retreat calmly, and Leon will lure me over, what can we do? Not to mention ......."

Bright? Mei **** stopped talking, of course Princess Zhuoma knew what he was worried about, when he was in the Yak River, Dazarugon did not agree to send troops to come, he was the one who advocated the future, and now he has just arrived here, if he wants to withdraw the army, what will the soldiers think of him, and it must be said that he is tossing around with tens of thousands of troops?

"In a big deal, now we can naturally retreat calmly, but if we consume a few more days, when the morale is really exhausted, it is difficult to say whether we can retreat calmly at that time;

Moreover, if this was really a trap set by Leon, he must have still had unknown means that he had not used;

In general, the most important thing in marching and fighting is not to stick to the law, but to judge the hour and size up the situation, and adjust it at any time to conform to the situation on the battlefield.

If we find that the situation has changed, we still blindly adhere to the original battle plan and do not think about flexibility, this is a big taboo, and sooner or later we will suffer a crushing defeat;

Anyway, there is another point, it is precisely because we proposed to send troops that we must be more cautious, otherwise, once we are really defeated, how can we explain to Zampu? ”

Bright? After some thought, Mei Se decided to follow the advice of Princess Dolma, and he immediately found Dazarukon, and summoned all the Dongdai, and repeated what Princess Dolma had said to Dazarugon and a large group of generals.

As soon as Dazaru Gong heard that he was going to withdraw his troops, he couldn't help but be angry, and he clenched the handle of the knife, and the green tendons on the back of his hand jumped suddenly, eager to draw the knife and take Lang immediately? Plum color is chopped into eight pieces.

"Comment, what do you think of tens of thousands of troops? Is it a doll that can be played with at will? At the beginning of the Yak River, the big talk forced the army to come, and now it seems that it is about to reach the camel bridge, and you let the army withdraw, our 50,000 army, how can we say that we will withdraw, and we will leave? Isn't this too child's play? ”

Dazarugon's eyes were on fire, and he glared at Lang without evacuation? Plum, as if to burn him to ashes.

Dazarugon's reaction was as early as Lang? Mei Se was expected, and he sneered: "Dazaru Gong, do you understand military affairs?" That's right, when you were in the Yak River, you sent a detailed report to say that the Tang army rebelled, and the situation was very favorable to our army, and I naturally wanted to send troops to take the opportunity to recapture the land of the Yellow River;

However, those who are commanders must judge the hour and size up the situation and make timely adjustments in accordance with changes in the battle situation. Dazarugon, what did I do wrong?

Look at it, Samba's 5,000-strong army was defeated by the Tang army, and Li Guangbi was cut off from the rear and was attacked on both sides, can he still be so tenacious, is this situation normal?

How unreasonable is that you should turn a blind eye to such an abnormal situation! In my opinion, the Tang Army is so abnormal, the biggest possibility is that the news sent back by your fine work is wrong, the Ningsai Army did not rebel at all, this is just a trap laid by Li Angbu;

Otherwise, in the case of cutting off the rear road, it would be impossible for the Tang Army under Li Guangbi and Li Sheng to maintain such a strong combat effectiveness;

Dazarugon, when the situation is like this, you don't think about dealing with it, but instead you talk nonsense, saying that I treat tens of thousands of troops as child's play, and I think you are treating tens of thousands of troops as child's play, and you don't care about their life or death! ”

There were more than 30 Tibetan generals present. If you are a plum, half of the generals think that Lang? Mei Se's words are reasonable, if you want to win the war, you have to adapt to the situation, and now that the situation has changed, Dazarugon is still stubborn, which is a very dangerous thing.

Dazarugon didn't expect Lang either? Mei Se was able to say such a thing, not only pushing the responsibility away, but also raking him upside down, and depressed him to death.

"According to the meaning of the general argument, then we will withdraw our troops now?" Dazarugon asked indifferently. He is a famous general in Tubo, and he has experienced hundreds of battles in his life, of course, he knows that the performance of the Tang Army is indeed a little abnormal, and in his heart, he actually agrees with Lang? Mei Se's judgment of the current situation is only that as the commander of the army, he has to consider not only the military level, but also the political level.

From a political point of view, the withdrawal of troops now is indeed a heavy blow to Tubo, Zan Pu must be very annoyed with Zhudan, after going back, he may not have a good end as a coach!

On the other hand, this time they made a big move, gathering a total of 70,000 troops, of which 10,000 were attacking the stone fort and 10,000 were attacking the cow heart pile.

In case the rebellion in Momen City is real, they are all on the side, just withdraw their troops like this, and miss such a good opportunity, who will shoulder this responsibility in the future?

Bright? Mei Se is not good at military affairs, but he is no worse politically than Dazarugon, and of course he understands these truths. So he will definitely not be burdened with such a responsibility. I only heard him say: "I am not the commander of the army, and now I am just making a suggestion to General Dazarugon about the fundamental battle situation, as for whether to withdraw the army or not, this is naturally decided by General Dazarugon." ”

The more than 30 generals present also did not have to bear the responsibility of withdrawing troops, so most of them were in favor of withdrawing troops, but now their morale is not high, and the enemy situation is full of unclear factors, so they are not willing to take this risk.

In the end, the ball was kicked back to Dazarugong's feet, he thought for a while and said: "The Tang army may indeed be cheating, we must be vigilant, as for whether to withdraw the army, wait to find out whether the rebellion in Da Mo City is really talking." (To be continued.) )
