Chapter 21: The Great Destruction of Tibet (II)

In just one morning, Tibet suffered nearly 30,000 casualties, and 60,000 casualties in one day. According to this calculation, the 580,000 troops of Tubo will be slaughtered by the Tang army in only ten days.

And this is only because the Don army was on the defensive and did not launch an offensive. If the Tang army launched an attack, the casualties in Tibet would be greater, and the time would be shortened.

You must know that the Tang army is well-equipped, well-trained, advanced in tactics and tactics, strict in command, extremely strong in combat, and not only good at defending, but also good at attacking. The Tang army's defense was like an iron bucket, and the Tang army's attack was extremely sharp, once the Tang army launched an attack, it would inevitably be like a sea of mountains, and the Tibetan army would be difficult to parry.

"Hey." The ministers sighed softly, helpless.

"On the occasion of the survival of the great Tibetans, what do you think, although it is said that Benzanpu should choose the good and accept it." There is no way to do it.

"Zampu, why don't we withdraw first." Some ministers were very scared and said: "While our main force is still there, the loss is not large, and it is too late to withdraw quickly." ”

"Yes, Zamp." Immediately, there was a chorus of echo.

Seeing the powerful lethality of the Tang Army, the ministers were frightened and eager to flee away immediately.

"Withdraw? I'm afraid it's not that easy to withdraw, right? A minister groaned: "The Tang Army is a bureau, a big one, and it is not easy to bring us from Luo, how can we be allowed to evacuate?" If I were Li Longji, I would send troops to cut off all the ways for us to retreat, so that we would not be able to escape. ”

"Phew!" The sound of inhaling cool air sounded, and the faces of the ministers changed greatly, and they were all frightened.

This is by no means alarmist, and may well be true. Li Longji took so much effort. Lure out the Tibetan army. If you don't cut off the retreat of the Tibetan army. Then it's not Li Longji.

If it were in the desert, it would be almost impossible, because the desert was empty and could be galloped at will. But for the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, which is high in mountains and dense forests, it is not difficult, it is very simple. There are only a few roads that can enter and exit, as long as the Tang army cuts it off. The Tibetan army is just winged and cannot escape.

This is very insightful, but it is too direct, too scary, how can the ministers not be afraid?

"If you don't withdraw, you can't do it. If you don't withdraw, you're going to die. "Immediately, there were ministers who said.

"Whether you can withdraw or not, you have to try." Some ministers chimed in.

The drowning man grabbed the straw, thinking that he could save his life, and the Tubo ministers in a desperate situation were the same, and they obviously thought that the retreat might be cut off by the Tang army, but they still held on to luck. I want to withdraw.

"If you can't retreat, then what?" There are ministers who fight the ministers.

"This ...... Peace talks. Is it possible? "The minister has finally come up with a solution.

"Yes. Peace talks. A chorus rang out, and the ministers responded loudly, too loud as thunder.

If you can't defeat the Tang Army, you can negotiate peace with the Tang Army, which is also a good way.

"It probably won't work." Some ministers analyzed: "We are the army of the whole country to come to Dafeichuan, if Li Longji annihilates us, the Great Tubo will be empty, as if there is no defense, the Tang army occupies Dafeichuan, there is nothing to say, and it is very likely to cross the Jishi Mountain to capture some ......."

"Capture the Logos?" An exclamation sounded, and the faces of the ministers changed greatly.

It was the capital of Tibet, and it was captured by the Tang army, which meant that Tibet was destroyed.

If it had been in the past, people would have laughed to death if they spoke like this. Not to mention anything else, Jishi Mountain is enough to block the advance of the Tang Army, even if the Tang Army can fight again, no matter how strong its combat power is, it is useless in front of the dangerous Jishi Mountain.

Now it is different, not only the soldiers of Tubo who have entered Dafeichuan, but also the ministers of Dusong Mangbujie, Da Lun, Xiao Lun, and the whole thing, so to speak, Tubo monarchs and ministers almost came to Dafeichuan.

If they were captured alive or killed by the Tang army, then the Tibetans would be leaderless, and the defense of Jishi Mountain would collapse in the face of the great pressure of the Tang army.

Not to mention anything else, just the annihilation of the entire Tibetan army will deal a great blow to Tibet, and will make the morale of the Tibetans low, the morale of the army will be weakened, and the people will have no heart to fight. If the leader is killed again, it is logical that the defense line of Jishi Mountain will collapse.

Jishi Mountain could not stop the advance of the Tang army, so the door was opened, and the destruction of Tubo was inevitable.

The consequences were too strict, and the ministers inhaled the cool air.

"Li Longji can completely get through this battle and get the Great Tubo, why should he talk to us?" This very striking minister said that people even had the heart to die.

Annihilating the Tibetan army, capturing or killing the Tubo ruling layer, you can get the whole of Tibet, why negotiate with Tibet? Even if they could negotiate, what leverage did the Tibetans have to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty?

It's so devastating!

The ministers pursed their lips tightly, unable to speak anymore, and looked at Du Songmangbu with blank eyes, waiting for him to make an idea.

"Hey." Du Song Mangbu sighed secretly in his heart, and his eyes turned black. I also had to endure the fright, cheer up the ministers, and said: "Don't be discouraged, there is still a chance in Tibet." We fought first, dragged the Tang army down and tired, took advantage of the cover of night, and immediately retreated. ”

His voice was very high-pitched and full of energy, as if he was very successful, but the ministers did not respond, and they were a little cold.

XXXXXXX

Taking advantage of the use of war meals, all the generals gathered around Li Longji, and everyone was very happy.

"The Tubo dogs really don't need to be beaten, we killed and injured nearly 30,000 Tubo dogs in just one morning, and nearly 60,000 Tubo dogs were killed in one day, and the few people in Tubo will be killed by us in less than ten days."

"Ten days? You think too highly of Tubo's Nenai. This is the Tubo dog attack, we defend, if we attack, don't say that 60,000 kills and wounds a day, 100,000 200,000 will be completed. ”

"Yes, yes."

The generals shouted endlessly, and everyone smiled.

"Prince, let's attack in the afternoon." Zhang Xiaofei rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Let the Tubo dog see how powerful we are." ”

"Yes, Prince." A chorus of responses rang out.

"Zhang said, what do you see?" Li Longji did not express his position, but asked Zhang.

"Prince, in my opinion. We should attack in the afternoon. Zhang said as he nibbled on jerky. He said, "If only I expected it to be true." The Tibetan dog must have been frightened and was thinking about how to escape. The Tibetan dogs are likely to attack, drag us down, and then take advantage of the cover of the night to escape. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said: "The entire Dafeichuan has been blocked by us, and the Dafeiling is even more besieged, and Tubo has nowhere to escape if he wants to. But. Once the Tibetans escape, we will always have to be troublesome if we chase them from behind. Taking advantage of the concentration of Tibetan dogs here, we attacked with all our strength and broke the Tibetan dogs in one fell swoop. ”

The entire Dafeichuan has been blockaded by the Tang army, and Dafeiling is a key blockade place, and there is nowhere to escape if Tubo wants to escape. However, once the Tibetans fled, the Tang army would have to take more effort to pursue. Taking advantage of the fact that Tibet was still concentrated, the Tang army attacked with all its might. Breaking Tibet in one fell swoop will save a lot of trouble.

"That's right." The generals agreed in unison.

"Good. You just let it go. Li Longji nodded appreciatively.

Served war rice. The two armies rested, and in the afternoon, the battle was renewed.

"You all remember Benzanpu, we have to attack in turns, we must go forward one after another, no matter how many people die, we must drag down the Tang army and make it easy to retreat at night." Before the battle, Du Song Mangbu Jie spoke loudly to his ministers.

"Rest assured, Zampu, we understand." The ministers understood.

If the Tang army was not dragged down and tired, the Tang army would pursue, and Tubo would suffer heavy casualties. Drag the Tang army down and fatigue first, and then retreat, and it will be fine.

The ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. The idea of Dusong Mangbu knot is very good, but it is destined not to be realized.

"Attack!" As soon as the two armies lined up in formation, Zhang Shuo waved the command flag in his hand and gave the order to attack.

"Rumble!" The cavalry of the Tang Army, which covered the two wings, took the lead in galloping out, and the sound of hooves was like thunder, and the sound was extraordinary.

This time, the cavalry of the Tang Army did not go straight behind the Tubo and cut off the Tubo retreat as before. Instead, they were scattered in groups, ready to intercept and kill the fleeing Tibetan army.

Why didn't the Tang cavalry cut off the retreat of Tibet? Because Tubo has fallen into the siege of the Tang army, all roads have been blocked by the Tang army, and Tubo has no way to escape, and there is no need to cut off the retreat of Tubo, just need to kill as many casualties as possible.

"It's ...... What should the Tang Army do? The Tibetan monarchs and ministers saw it in their eyes, and it was a little difficult to understand.

Based on their understanding of the Tang Army, once the cavalry was dispatched, it often went straight to the back and cut off the enemy's retreat. This time, Tang Jun didn't do it, and they were really a little puzzled.

"Rumble!" Just when they were suspicious, they saw that the Tang army moved and began to attack.

I saw thousands of Mo knife hands, lined up in a neat battle formation, with bright Mo knives in their hands, forming a knife wall, and under the cover of the knife hands, they pressed up against the Tubo army.

Following the Mo swordsman came the archers, and in front of the swordsmen's cover, they bent their bows and arrows and aimed at Tibet.

"The Don Army attacked?" The Tubo monarchs and ministers understood, and their faces changed greatly.

They wanted to take turns attacking through Guò and dragging down the Tang army, but the premise was that the Tang army defended and the Tubo attacked. Now that the Tang army is attacking, it means that Tubo's plan is bankrupt.

"Woohoo." The strong crossbow took the lead and shot at the Tibetan army.

The power of the strong crossbow was too great, and the Tibetan army fell down piece by piece, as if the pile of hemp stalks had been pushed down, and after only a while, there were more corpses on the ground, a thick layer.

"Shoot the arrows! Shoot the arrows! Du Song Mangbu Jie looked at the approaching Mo knife battle array, his scalp was numb, and he knew that the bow and arrow could not be Mo Dao hand, but he still ordered the arrow to be released.

If not, it won't work, who said that Tubo doesn't have a strong crossbow?

The Tubo army bent its bow and arrows, and the arrows shot at the Mingguang armor, which was just a spark, and there was no threat to the Mo swordsman.

"Mo Dao, split!" At the sound of an order, thousands of Mo knives were raised high and slashed down, like thunder and lightning, terrifying.

"Puff puff." The dull sound of flesh clattering, and countless Tibetan soldiers or horses were chopped into pieces by Mo's knife.

Stumps and broken arms, broken internal organs, gushing blood...... It paints a picture of a tragic war.

The Modao battle array was indestructible, and the Tubo army was powerless to stop it, only the part that was slaughtered was soon pushed into the Tubo array by the Modao battle array.

"Xue Zhi, attack! Capture Zampu! Seeing that the Tibetan army was already in chaos, Zhang Shuo ordered loudly.

Xue Zhi took the order, led 10,000 selected elites, and rushed out like a tiger descending the mountain. (To be continued......)
