After losing more than 10,000 people, he ordered the attack to be stopped, and after gathering men and horses, he retreated to a thousand steps away from Zheque Pass.

Tu Shi heard that Tubo, who was confronting Li Jing at Qili Pass, had no movement, his face was gloomy as lead, and he felt a chill in his back for no reason.

Sideways face to the great elder beside him said: "Pass the order, no matter how much the price is paid, you must open up the communication channel, before it is opened, use the flying pigeon to tell Lu Dongzan not to organize an attack anymore, and now it seems that the wheel war will not work." ”

The Great Elder also had a gloomy face, this time he arranged to charge in front, Tuyuhun thought that the main force had the largest number of people, and there were other tribes, the Turks lost tens of thousands last time, although they were also injured, but they were many and could afford to lose, but it was different for other tribes, the population was originally small, and one hundred and ten people could not afford to lose.

On the other side, the Tibetans were also dumbfounded, and fought countless battles, but this time it was inexplicable, because the enemy was not far from you, but relying on what was buried in the geography, according to the Turks, it was called a mine, and it actually caused their own losses of tens of thousands of people, and then they didn't even touch the side of the enemy army.

Lu Dongzan raised his trembling hand and waved it again and again: "Withdraw the army, withdraw the army quickly." ”

"Won't the warriors who haven't died yet be saved?"

After being reminded by the national teacher beside him, Lu Dongzan's mind was a little sober: "Oh, yes, order to save people first." ”

The national teacher glanced at him, and ordered the general command on his side to save people from entering the battlefield.

Li Jing watched the actions of the Tibetan people, and did not order the artillery to attack, nor did he let his subordinates attack, because according to his experience, it was difficult for all the mines buried in the ground to explode in a wave, and the charge was not good for his own side at this time.

However, under the command of the general, more than 10,000 people poured into the area of the previous explosion, and the result can be imagined, although the second triggered mine explosion was not as deafening as the first, but it was also particularly harsh in the silent wilderness, accompanied by each explosion, it would take the lives of several or a dozen Tubo people.

After more than 10 explosions, the Tubo people did not dare to organize rescue anymore, and they all consciously withdrew from the explosion area without waiting for Lu Dongzan's order.

Lu Dongzan shook his head left and right to look at the retreating soldiers, and the soldiers lowered their heads in shame and did not dare to look at him, but Lu Dongzan did not get angry, just waved his hand mechanically, ordered to stop the rescue, and collected the troops back to the camp.

Lu Dongzan returned to the big tent of the Chinese army and gave the same order as Tushi: "Regardless of the cost, immediately open up a communication channel with the Turkic coalition army." ”

Gao Buer received a report from Hou Junji in Qiuzi City, and Hou Junji told Gao Buer that Tushi and Lu Dongzan were not moving, but they both sent a large number of men and horses to attack the mountain path, and they had a great posture of not giving up until they got through.

Gao Buer received a report from Hou Junji, and immediately replied: "Let the soldiers fighting guerrillas in the mountains fight and retreat, gradually let go of the mountain paths, and let Lu Dongzan and Tushi communicate, as long as they are studying countermeasures, it will prove that they will not leave, and they will organize a large army to attack again, as long as they do not leave, there will always be a chance to destroy the enemy by themselves, and when they are consumed here and suffer heavy losses, Tubo will naturally retreat back to the plateau, and Tushi will take the remnants of the defeated army to follow in the footsteps of the clansmen and start the western expedition." ”

At the same time, Gao Buer sent a letter to Li Jing and Zhang Zhongping, saying that if the war was urgent, they could decide on their own combat deployment and did not need to report it, and this order was also informed to Hou Junji.

Under the orderly evacuation of the Tang army, Lu Dongzan and Tu Shi lost thousands of people, and the mountain trail of communication was finally opened, and they did not have to suffer such heavy casualties, but Hou Junji, who received Gao Buer's own decision to attack the order, ordered the subordinates to fight on the mountain trail, and when they evacuated, they randomly laid many mines in key sections, and Tu Shi and Lu Dongzan's men lost a lot in the process of demining.

However, this also made them figure out how to break the Tang Army's mine array.

After the road was opened, Lu Dongzan came to the Tushi army in a hurry, and Tushi heard that Lu Dongzan came in person, and he was a grand welcome. Lu Dongzan had no intention of looking at the grand pomp prepared for him by Tu Shi, sat on the seat and drank a few bowls of wine in a row, and said for a long time: "I regret not being at the beginning, because I didn't listen to your advice, despised Tang Jun, and caused irreparable losses." ”

"Don't be sad, there are too many capable people in the Tang Dynasty, and the weapons created are also strange, which we can't compare with no matter what."

Lu Dongzan nodded, and no longer bothered about this problem, after all, they couldn't afford it, although they made an appointment with Wei and Goguryeo to attack Tang together, but the temperament of the Wei people immediately retreated back to the country after the attack on the Tang army was frustrated, and the Tang army took advantage of the situation to occupy a lot of land.

Goguryeo's attack was relatively tenacious, but halfway through, there was a lot of trouble between Gao Jianwu and Yuangai Suwen because of the supply of military horses and grain and grass, and the embarrassed and angry Yuangai Suwen actually left the army and took tens of thousands of horses directly back to the capital to find Gao Jianwu desperately, two pig teammates, none of them were reliable.
