Listening to the sound of shouting and killing around him, Songtsen Gampo immediately understood that he was surrounded, and he was surrounded by the Tang army. And Songtsen Gampo is not an idiot who does not understand military affairs, he immediately felt very weird. Because this is not a place with complex terrain, on the contrary, it is a flat land. And the flat land here is theoretically not suitable as a place for encirclement. Moreover, the enemy has only more than 20,000 soldiers, which is not suitable for an encirclement tactic at all. To encircle the plains, you have to outnumber the enemy tenfold. This is all recognized, but the Tang army violated this law, are they so confident in their soldiers' plain habits? Obviously, Songtsen Gampo simply could not understand. According to previous speculation, the Tang Army's individual soldiers were not able to lead the Tibetans, and the individual soldiers were actually similar to the Tibetans, and they were all soldiers who had just experienced the baptism of war for a short time.

"Zampu, shall we break through?" Qin Ling asked.

"Break out of what? We don't even know what the enemy's purpose is, and in which direction the enemy's defense is the weakest, what to break through? Songtsen Gampo said.

Songtsen Gampo immediately led the scouting horses to check the movements of the Tang army around them, and used them to determine where the defense was weakest and could break through. However, the return of the horse exploration made Songtsen Gampo very surprised, because the Tang army did not seem to be in a hurry to reduce the encirclement, but maintained a steady encirclement, and actually defended it with spears and crossbows nearby. What's even more strange is that the Tang Army seems to be playing some kind of "egalitarianism", the strength of the Tang Army in every direction is almost balanced, and the ratio of troops is mainly based on crossbowmen and pikemen. The pikemen crouched in front, while the crossbowmen were behind the pikemen, apparently a tactic against the cavalry.

"Send a small number of troops to test it!" Songtsen Gampo said.

Soon, a force of about a thousand people began to move towards the encirclement. And the Tang army outside the encirclement immediately began to prepare, and then, on the orders of the commander, prepared to attack the other side with bows and crossbows.

"Crossbowmen. Triple Stack Shot! A regimental commander shouted.

According to the establishment of Jingwen, the establishment of the Tang Army is very flexible, and it can be mixed according to the branch of the army at any time, and it can also be centralized according to the type of army. And now the Tang Army encirclement, that is, a regiment as a unit, a mixed regiment composed of different arms of the subordinate troops. This way, with crossbowmen and pikemen to prepare, it can be a separate battle group at any time.

"Whoosh ......"

"Whoosh ......"

With the sound of bows and crossbows firing, the Tang army, which had more than a thousand people, lost dozens of people in one shot, but they also immediately knew the firepower here. And they went to test other places, at the cost of more than 200 people. The Tibetans figured out the defensive strength of the Tang Dynasty's bows and crossbows.

"Zampu, they are all relatively average, and there is no problem with our judgment. If we were to attack with all our might, we should probably be able to break through. Qin Ling said.

But Songtsen Gampo said suspiciously: "The Tang army has wasted such a big mind, is it just to form this weak encirclement?" They should have a conspiracy, but where is this conspiracy? ”

Songtsen Gampo is right, Jingwen does have a conspiracy. And the reputation of the Tubo people is also right, because Jingwen actually has a bow and crossbow regiment in his hand as a reserve, where do the Tubo people attack from. The archers will also come from where to support the defense. And the cavalry in Jingwen's hand was not used, and it could also be used as a reserve. And the reason why Jingwen set up this situation was not only to defeat the Tubo people, but also to kill and injure a large number of their living forces. The purpose of this battle. It is just to consume the vitality of the Tibetan people.

Songtsen Gampo could not feel the pulse of the Tang army, because they surrounded but did not hurriedly reduce the encirclement, so that the range of 50,000 people in Tibet was relatively huge. And the Tang Dynasty people didn't seem to have a defensive focus somewhere, and they didn't induce themselves to attack somewhere with heavy troops. The Tang Dynasty people did not have any tactics of seduction. It's so quietly surrounded. There are so many things that the Tang Dynasty people have violated the laws of military tactics today that they simply cannot be understood.

"Tibetan warriors, stand by the spot!" Songtsen Gampo said.

Qin Ling immediately asked, "Zampu." Why is that? ”

"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move. Since they stopped, let's see what medicine they were selling in their gourds. Songtsen Gampo said.

Soon the Tibetans rested in place, but they did not give up the defense, but let the elite troops defend on the perimeter, apparently ready to respond to the attack of the Tang army. And the Tang Dynasty people obviously only defended calmly, and did not mean to take the initiative to attack. However, Songtsen Gampo believes that he has 50,000 people, and his strength belongs to the stronger side, so he has absolute strength. Songtsen Gampo believes that in the face of absolute strength, a conspiracy is a useless paper tiger. The Tang army was only about half of its own number, and the military elements were about the same. So if you really want to fight hard, Tang Jun will definitely not be able to fight himself. Therefore, he stopped to see what the hell Tang Jun had in mind, and he could deal with it calmly when the time came.

Jingwen looked into the distance with a telescope, obviously observing the battlefield. And this telescope is not made of glass, but made of transparent crystal, which is very expensive, and only Jingwen, a local tyrant, can afford to use it. And the Tang Dynasty was not without glass, and the cost of glass was higher than that of crystal, so it was impossible to use glass.

"The Tibetans have stopped, they are looking for death!" Jingwen said.

Pei Xingjian, who had just been promoted to deputy director of the logistics department, took the initiative to say: "Sacrificial wine, in fact, the Tubo people have no experience in dealing with firearms bombing. When we used firearms to attack the Turks, didn't the Turks have no experience at all? Because the Turks had no experience, they suffered a lot. ”

"Let the Firearms Brigade prepare!" Jingwen said.

According to the rules, each corps will have a firearms brigade. However, at present, many armies are not equipped, and because the Western Army is to undertake border defense tasks, the four armies of the Eastern Expedition, the Western Expedition, the Southern Expedition and the Northern Expedition can be equipped first, followed by the central government's formation of the Shenji Army, and finally the eight central armies to equip it. Now the Western Army already has a firearms brigade, so it can be used for firearms fighting. In the past, the firearms unit was also divided into half of the military cadets who graduated from the firearms department with the central Shenji Army, so they also served here.

"Everyone is in place, get ready!" The commander of the firearms brigade shouted. (To be continued......)
