The fire flickered, and the night was dead.

The sharp lance in the hand of the black-armored soldier is a sharp lance stabbing forward.

The blade of the lance entered the body, and blood splashed everywhere.

The icy water had overflowed the female wall, rushed into the wall, and was rapidly rising.

The feet were unstable, and there were crossbow arrows flying down from above, and when the lance stabbed, the Tubo soldiers didn't have time to react at all, and they were already directly pierced.

Li Xuan stepped on the top of the city, and the surrounding area had been completely emptied.

The black Daxu was erected high, and Li Xuan, who was dressed in black clothes and black armor, looked like a god in cold.

With a "poof", a Tibetan soldier had already turned over directly and jumped off the two-zhang high city wall, and then a terrible shout began.

Li Xuan's eyes were cold, and he stood there motionless, but the guards under him had already rushed forward like crazy.

Accustomed to standing in the water and fighting, they quickly killed or drove the Tibetan soldiers to death......

The entire city was soon completely occupied by the Tang army.

Li Xuan stood under the Da Xu, and all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were behind him.

The Tubo soldiers who had not escaped under the city wall outside at the moment were quickly sniped by the crossbow arrows shot from the city wall.

Li Xuan's gaze lifted and looked at the wider world.

The entire Tanggula Mountains spread out from north to south behind them, and the lush dense forests suddenly brought the world to life.

More importantly, at the end of the line of sight, acres of green fields, the fields are full of wheat, barley and other grains.

The torrential rain came a few days earlier, leaving all the grain that should have been harvested in the mountains and forests.

A two-zhang wide ditch stretched southwest from beneath the city to a lake farther south.

Wrong Nahu, the source of the Nu River.

After passing through Naqu and running to the east of Tibet, under the eastern mountain range, it went out along the southeast again, and finally rushed into Shuzhong.

……

"Dashuai." Heiya Changzhi, Li Duozuo, Shi Xuan, Tang Zhenxing, Qiu Zhenmu, Cui Ding, Xiao Siye, Wei Hongji, and Yang Zhirou climbed the city wall at the same time and bowed their hands to Li Xuan under Daxu.

With one hand pressed on the female wall, Li Xuan withdrew his reluctant gaze, then turned to look at everyone and said, "You all come up and take a look, this is the territory that we are about to take for Your Majesty and for the Tang Dynasty." ”

Although Li Xuan didn't say these four words, the hearts of everyone present couldn't help but be hot.

Step up, a fresh and magnificent world appears in front of everyone's eyes.

Mountains, rivers, forests, fields, everything comes to life.

Li Xuan looked to the side, Li Zhu had already walked up quickly, and delivered the maps to everyone.

"Before this, I seized the topographic map of Tibet, from Luo to the north, to the west, to the east, to the south, everything is on the map, although it will not allow me to grasp everything, but from today onwards, it will no longer be dark in front of us." Li Xuan didn't finish his sentence, and everyone had already understood the meaning of his words.

The division of troops, Li Xuan has always advocated that after entering Tibet, divide the troops.

Divide the troops into three routes, all the way to the east and go straight to the richest place in the southeast of Tubo; All the way to the west, it is connected with the land of Zhangxiong; The last way is to go straight to the logic and attack Zamp.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, in order to reduce the pressure of the torrent, the Qinling Tomb deliberately built a trench, from which it leads directly to the Cuona Lake for twenty miles, and the Cuona Lake is less than ten miles away from Naqu, and there is a Naqu River in the middle." Li Xuan's eyes flickered, and everyone present had completely understood what he meant.

Use the water army to kill directly from Amdo to Cuona Lake, and then from Cuona Lake to Naqu City.

Once they succeeded, they would immediately be able to gain a foothold in Tibet.

"Dashuai, where is the Qinling Tomb now?" The black tooth often arched his hand, and his expression was solemn.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, on where Qinling is now, this is the key issue." ”

Li Xuan looked sideways at Zhou Qian and asked, "Did Qianniuwei ask any useful news?" ”

After taking Amdo, thousands of Tibetan captives fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty, and interrogating prisoners has always been what Qianniuwei is best at.

Zhou Qian arched his hand and said: "In this battle, on the Qinling Tomb in the north of Tubo, 90,000 troops were concentrated. ”

Ninety thousand?

Hearing this number, the expressions of everyone present couldn't help but become solemn.

You must know that these are not servant soldiers like Yang and Subi, but the real Tibetan elite.

They only have 30,000 people now, that is, because the terrain was special before, which was not conducive to the performance of the army, so they seized the advantage step by step, and finally directly entered Amdo.

Now with 30,000 people, facing 90,000, even if they can win, it will only be a miserable victory in the end.

But even in this case, Li Xuan still had to divide his troops.

"When the country is destroyed, it is always possible to squeeze the troops to the greatest extent." Li Xuan waved his hand, looked at Zhou Qian, and said, "You continue." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Qian bowed his hand, and then continued: "Now, there are 20,000 people stationed in Nagqu, 20,000 in Nie Rong in the east, 20,000 in Bangor in the west, and two people, in the Cuona Lake between Nagqu and Amdo, by the way, there are also 5,000 people who withdrew from Amdo. ”

"On Qinling, the encirclement has been prepared, just wait for me to rush out directly." Li Xuan looked at everyone coldly, and said softly: "Now you should understand, why this king must divide his troops, right?" ”

"All the way to Nie Rong, all the way to Bangor, all the way to the wrong lake and Naqu." Xiao Siye had to nod and said approvingly: "The marshal originally planned to divide the troops, I am afraid that it has coincided with the terrain, and now the layout of the Qinling Tomb from the terrain just clashes with the marshal." ”

"The generals obey orders." Li Xuan stood up straight and looked at Cuona Lake in the distance.

"The end will be." Everyone gave up their hands at the same time.

"The right leader of the guard, the general of the black tooth, Changzhi, the right leader of the guard, and the general of the right leader of the guard, Li Duozuo, order the two of you to lead the five thousand people of the headquarters to Nie Rong after the water is released tomorrow."

"The last will obey." The black teeth are often the same, and Li Duozuo gave up his hand at the same time.

"The left guard Zhonglang will Tang Zhenxing, and the right guard Zhonglang will be Qiu Zhenmu." Li Xuan looked to the side.

"The end will be." Tang Zhenxing and Qiu Zhenmu stepped forward at the same time.

"Order the two of you, after the city is opened tomorrow and the water is released, lead the left guard with 3,000 and the right guard with 2,000 to attack Bangor." Li Xuan ordered again.

"The last general commands." Tang Zhenxing and Qiu Zhenmu gave up at the same time.

"Zuo Xiaowei General Shi Xuan, Zuo Weilang General Yan Tao."

"The end will be." Shi Jian and Yan Tao stepped forward at the same time.

"After the city is released tomorrow, 2,000 sailors on the right guard, 2,000 cavalry on the left guard, along the ditch, and 5,000 guards on the left, march in advance, plunder and kill from the east side of the lake, and then rush to Naqu, clear all the forces under the city of Naqu, and finally go to Luo, all the enemies along the way, all the enemies are killed." Li Xuan's face turned ruthless,

"Whoa!" Shi Jian and Yan Tao gave up at the same time.

Li Xuan's expression eased a lot, and then he said softly: "Everyone, with five thousand against twenty thousand, it should not be difficult for you." ”

"It's easy." Everyone bowed their hands at the same time, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

With 30,000 against 90,000, everyone felt uneasy, but with 5,000 against 20,000, everyone relaxed.

The most critical element here is the aggregation of large armies.

Although the left guard, the right guard, and the right leading guard were all under Li Xuan's command, in fact, there was not much cooperation between them in several battles.

This is Li Xuan's shortcoming.

He can command three or five thousand cavalry, or a single branch of the army, but if it is a different branch of the army, or a different command system from top to bottom, if Li Xuan forcibly kneades it, it will only be a complete defeat in the end.

Just like the reason why he divides his troops now is because he thinks that the right leading guard under the command of Heiya Changzhi and Li Duozuo can exert a stronger force than unification and integration.

Qiu Zhenmu and Tang Zhenxing are all battlefield generals, each commanding three or five thousand soldiers and horses, and they can exert their combat power to the limit.

……

Li Xuan looked up and saw the deepest darkness between the entire heaven and earth, and said softly: "Divide the troops into the army, on the Qinling division of the troops into three roads, we also divide the troops into three roads, so we do this, just to promote the strengths and avoid the weaknesses, maybe the Qinling also thinks the same." ”

With an army of 90,000, Li Xuan didn't believe that Non Qinling had such a strong command ability, so he only forcibly pinched it at most, and if he really wanted to fight, he still had to divide the troops.

"Dashuai." Xiao Siye couldn't help but stepped forward and arched his hand: "Once Zuo Xiaowei raids Luo and leaves, there are only 2,000 sailors and 2,000 cavalry under the command of the marshal, is it more dangerous?" ”

There was a sudden silence all around, and everyone looked at Li Xuan in disbelief.

They only took care of themselves before, but they almost forgot that Li Xuan only had 4,000 soldiers and horses under his command.

With 4,000 to break 20,000, if it is 4,000 cavalry, there may still be hope, but there are still 2,000 sailors.

Li Xuan waved his hand calmly and said: "Once the city is opened and the water is released, this king will take a warship to directly enter the Cuona Lake, with the lake as a stronghold, and the cavalry is criss-crossed, which is equivalent to a military fortress supported by the fortress, even the Qinling, which is difficult to break through......"

Speaking of this, Li Xuan smiled, then looked at everyone and said, "The rest is to wait until you come and encircle and break the enemy army on three sides." ”

Li Xuan believes in Hei Tooth Changzhi, believes in Li Duozuo, and also believes in Tang Zhenxing and Qiu Zhenmu, they will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in front of them, and then join him to discuss Qinling.

"The lower officer still feels that there is some risk, so please ask the marshal to mobilize reinforcements." Xiao Siye insisted on giving it up again.

"In this way, mobilize 3,000 cavalry of the right Xiaowei to enter the front of the army overnight, mobilize 2,000 Heyuan guards, 2,000 Changzhou state soldiers, rush to Tanggula Town, and the right leader guards 5,000 foot soldiers, and enter Amdo tomorrow, and obey the right guard Lang to dispatch Li Yi." Li Xuan looked sideways at Li Yi.

"The last will obey." Li Yi gave up.

Black teeth are often the same, Li Duozuo and Li Yi once fought side by side in the country, and they all know that Li Yi is a good guard under Li Xuan, and he is also a clan.

"Ling Ling guards Amdo, beware of the sneak attack of the Tibetans, and strictly order, anyone entering and exiting the checkpoint must have a token from the Luo Dao Marching Governor's Mansion." Li Xuan's expression was serious.

"The last general commands." Li Yi bowed slightly.

……

Li Xuan thought for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "Wait until this battle is over, after winning Naqu, and then let Wang Shilang enter Tubo, now, let's let him, the household servant, transfer grain and grass for us." ”

The generals couldn't help laughing, with the household servants transporting grain and grass, their back roads would be smoother to the greatest extent.

Li Xuan's face became solemn, and the voices of the others gradually lowered.

"In this battle, destroying the enemy is the first priority, and the second is to loot grain and grass." Li Xuan looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The left and right armies, after taking the Luo, when they divide the troops again, they must cut off the connection between the city and the outside world as much as possible, so as to avoid being maliciously fortified by the Tubo people.

It is better to block all the grain and grass outside the city, even if it falls into the hands of ordinary people and slave islands, it is better than falling into the hands of the city guards and nobles of Tubo, you understand. ”

"The last general commands." All the generals bowed in unison.
