Chapter 0458 - Capture the Enemy Chief Alive
Where did he think that he was on the road of no return, Li Ang had already laid a net waiting for him, and the torches lit up one after another in all directions illuminated the surroundings as bright as day, and the countless Tang troops surrounded them with more than 100 people.
Looking at the large number of torches around him, his face was full of horror and despair, and at this time he realized that he had clearly fallen into the trap of the Tang army, and he looked at the two soldiers who led the way with great hatred. The two soldiers were terrified, and they didn't know what to tell the difference.
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
At this time, the Tang army roared in unison, the sound was like a tide, and they pressed over from all directions, and at the moment of danger, as the general who guarded Zampu, Sambal said: "Zampu, break through to the south, and the ministers will swear to protect Zampu!" ”
Zhu Dan was not willing to be caught, gritted his teeth and said: "Rush! ”
Less than two hundred horsemen, under the heavy encirclement of the Tang army, launched a desperate charge, the north wind was howling, the torches of the Tang army were hunting, and the beard of Zhu Dan was swept up by the wind, like a spear.
The wolf howled, the horse neighed, and the rumbling hooves pierced the night sky, and when Li Ang saw the enemy rushing in the direction where he was, he couldn't help but laugh: "Courage, courage!" ”
At this moment, more than 100 horsemen rushing in the direction of Li Ang lost their front hooves and fell to the ground with a bang, and one after another the war horses screamed and rolled, rolling on the ground twenty or thirty feet away before stopping, and the Tubo people behind hurriedly strangled the war horses, and many people collided with each other and became a mess.
"Up, catch it alive!" Leon took the opportunity to let out a loud shout.
Wu Xuan immediately led the army to rush out and rushed towards the scattered ruler belt Zhu Dan headquarters, while the Tang troops in other directions stood still and continued to shout in unison:
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
"Those who descend will not be killed!"
In this case, no matter how brave the guards with Zhu Dan were, where did they still have the courage to fight again, Wu Xuan and the others rushed in, like destroying the withering and decaying, quickly eliminated more than 100 enemies, and the whole process did not even give Wu Xuan a chance to show his bravery.
When he was escorted to Leon, he looked embarrassed, his shoulders were scraped, blood was oozing, his hair was messy, and his beard was stained with grass clippings.
Tubo Zampu was captured, this is an extremely exciting thing, all the Tang soldiers couldn't help but cheer loudly, in the night, the torches formed a formation, cheering like a tide.
"There is a saying, there is nowhere to find when you step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them, alas!" Li Ang seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and let out a long sigh.
The generals couldn't help but be very curious, and Nie Feng couldn't help but ask first: "Yunyang Hou, you don't seem to be very happy, this is Tubo Zampu, who was captured alive by us!" No, is it because this guy is too ugly, Yunyang Hou can't look at it, this, otherwise, this guy will be handed over to the last general, and the last general will be escorted back to the capital to report the victory! ”
Li Ang didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said to Li Mi beside him: "Mi, what do you say the world will say about our battle?" To tell the truth, there is no one in Tibet, you see, you see, even the so-called Zampu is stupid like this,"
After listening to Li Ang's words, he almost vomited blood three liters and died, well, although he didn't vomit blood, he was really hateful and angry, gritting his teeth and gurgling, and his body trembled.
Li Mi smiled and said: "Yunyang Hou doesn't have to be like this, in my opinion, it's not that the enemy is too stupid, but Yunyang Hou is clever, and the conspiracy and conspiracy are intertwined, even if the cunning enemy meets Yunyang Hou, it will look extremely stupid." ”
"Well, according to what you say, it's not that the enemy is too stupid, it's that we're too good at playing?"
"Can play? Uh, yes... It's Yunyang Hou who is too good at playing, and Shengsheng has played the dignified Tubo Zampu as a prisoner, hahaha! ”
"It's not funny, it's not funny at all, life is really lonely! Lonely! After Qin Ang finished sighing, he suddenly remembered someone, and then smiled and said, "But there is something that should be quite interesting, when Ge Shuhan receives the news, the expression on his face must be very exciting, hahaha... ”
Li Mi thought for a while and said, "Yunyang Hou, what are your plans next?" ”
Li Ang said dryly: "Didn't Ge Shuhan want to drag me to death? The news of capturing the enemy road will not be notified to him for the time being, let him continue to drag it in Suirong City, and wait for the good news from the side of Da Momen City, we only need to leave a few thousand men and horses to continue to guard the Chiling Pass, and the others will go directly to Luo with Ben Hou, and wait for us to take Luo some ......."
When Zhu Dan heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Li Ang, are you and Ge Shuhan really fighting among themselves?" ”
Li Ang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "It's right that I have infighting with Ge Shuhan, but compared with cleaning up Ge Shuhan, it is more interesting to clean up your Zampu, the key is that it is not possible to capture Ge Shuhan and go back to Chang'an, but it is a great achievement to capture you back, hahaha......."
The face of the ruler belt Zhudan changed uncertainly, and he gritted his teeth with hatred. Li Ang sat on the horse and looked down at him, at this moment, he still had a bit of a feeling of illusion and reality, this is Tubo Zampu? The once-powerful Tubo fell like this?
At this time, Li Mi said: "Marquis of Yunyang, I suggest that you should take the stone fort first, there is a natural danger of the stone fort, it is safe, and at the same time, you can leave fewer soldiers and horses." ”
"Well, do as you say. Okay, collect the troops and return to the camp. ”
Amid the cheers, Li Ang returned to the camp with thousands of soldiers and horses, holding torches, which didn't feel like a big deal like capturing Tubo Zampu, but a little like a small night exercise.
Early the next morning, under the "inspiration" of the ruler belt Zhudan, the Tubo army in the Chiling Pass all laid down their arms and surrendered.
With the cooperation of Lang Meise, Li Ang sent Deng Qiyuan to take over the stone castle with 2,000 men, and continued to block Ye Rongxiu and the others in their way.
Immediately afterwards, good news also came from the Great Momen City, and the Zama Chili tribe who were trapped there also lost the courage to hold on and surrendered after learning that Zampu had been captured.
At this point, all the enemies in front of Li Ang had been cleared, and his generals were all eager to try, shouting to kill Luo Zhi in one go. Yes, it's best to be able to smash Huanglong in one go. Although the soldiers were exhausted after these hours of high-intensity fighting, now was really not the time to rest, and if they did not quickly control the Logo, it was difficult to guarantee that the Logos would not set up a new lord and continue to resist stubbornly.
Although the remnants of Tibet are no longer to be worried about in a frontal battle, the Tibetan Plateau is vast and sparsely populated, and the geographical environment and climate are very harsh.
In order to boost morale, Li decided to personally lead the army on this trip. In addition, let Guo Ziyi and Feng Changqing each lead a road of men and horses, and the soldiers were divided into three routes, echoing each other, attacking together, and clearing the remnants of various departments in Tubo along the way.
At this time, Princess Zhuoma, together with the men and horses of Subi's headquarters, also controlled more than three or four people, plus the 30,000 troops dispatched by Li Ang, a total of 60,000 troops, swept towards the plateau together.
This defeat was unexpectedly smooth for Li Ang, but for Tubo, it was a big blow, the Mo Liyi that had been used as a logistics base was broken, and the 60,000 army was destroyed.
Now that the Subi tribe has defected, it is said that Lang Meise has surrendered, and Zampu has taken Zhudan to be captured, and the news has returned, and it is needless to say that the blow to Tubo is so great. Wherever Li Ang's army passed, the Tibetan tribes surrendered, and even if there were still some vain attempts to resist, they were vulnerable and quickly collapsed.
Along the way, the only thing that could cause trouble to the Tang army was the special environment and climate of the plateau, although most of the Tang troops brought by Li Ang had been stationed in the Dafeichuan area for a period of time, but as the altitude became higher and higher, there were still many soldiers who were unwell, and even some of them were seriously ill and died on the plateau.
After the Tanggula Pass, because the number of people who fell ill had exceeded 10%, Li Ang had to order a rest on the spot, and at the same time ordered people to find more herbs such as Rhodiola Rosea to boil water to drink to prevent altitude sickness.
At this time, a news came from Luo that the left-behind Tibetan ministers Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie, Shang Xijie, Non Qili Buzang, Shang Dongzan, Shang Tsan Wa and others, after learning that the ruler belt Zhudan had been captured, established the son of the ruler belt Zhudan, the six-year-old Trisong Dezan, as the new Tibetan Zampu.
Princess Zhuoma hurriedly came to the big tent of Li Ang, and as soon as the two of them met the ceremony, she hurriedly said: "Sihong, Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie and others have set up a new lord, and at the same time ordered the garrison to defend Anxi to withdraw to King Luo, and also sent people to Tianzhu and other countries for help, we can't wait any longer, we must take advantage of the fact that the garrison on the western front of Tubo has not had time to retreat, and the people's hearts are in turmoil, quickly force the troops to force Luo, control Trisong Dezan, and annihilate Ma Xiangzhong Bajie and other people who do not give up, so as to prevent future troubles." ”
The territory of Tibet is not small, although the troops on the eastern front have been killed, including the defenders of the city of Luo, but on the border between the western front and Anxi, there are always some soldiers and horses stationed. If all of them are withdrawn, they should still be able to raise 60,000 or 70,000 troops.
This is a force that cannot be ignored, after taking the stone fort, the reason why Li Ang didn't even care about resting, so he went straight to Luo, that is, to smash the Yellow Dragon before the defenders of the western front of Tubo retreated, and destroy the last cohesion of Tubo.
But now the Tang Army soldiers are infected with many diseases, and if they do not rest and recuperate, they are afraid that the non-combat attrition will be more serious.
After weighing it, Li Ang said: "Mother, if this is not the case, you take the soldiers and horses of the Subi tribe and go back to attack Luo some first, and after I lead the troops to rest for a few days, I will rush to join you as soon as possible." ”
Princess Zhuoma said: "This can only be the case, what I am worried about now is that Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie and the others will give up Luo and retreat west to join the defenders of the Western Front, if that is the case, things will be in trouble." ”
"Is there anything you can do to prevent this from happening?" (To be continued.) )
