Crusade against Nanzhao - the main general will be trapped in the place of inaction 2
The Tibetan army only lost more than 6,000 people, and the Nanzhao army only lost more than 1,000 people.
This was a rare major setback for the Tang Army since its founding.
However, the doom of the Tang army was not over, and the Tubo army and the Nanzhao army had joined forces, totaling more than 90,000 people, which far exceeded the 25,000 defeated soldiers of the remnants of the Tang army.
However, a more tragic fate awaits the Tang Army...
After the defeat of Xian Yu Zhongtong, the commander-in-chief of the Tang army, he was so frightened that he was so old and decrepit that he could not discuss matters in his tent.
At present, Deputy Marshal Li Hui is acting as the supervisor, and Li Hui's first priority, in addition to rectifying the troops and horses, spends most of his time gathering Li Fuguo, the supervising army, to cover up his defeats.
This can't be blamed on Li Hui, after all, when the emperor trusts the supervising army, if the supervising army is not taken care of, he may not be able to participate in one book at any time, and your commander-in-chief and deputy marshal will have to fall to the ground.
After the Battle of Cangshan, most of the brave generals of the Tang Army were wounded, and those who were not injured also ran out of physical strength and urgently needed to recuperate.
Li Hui transported all the seriously injured generals who were difficult to walk, such as Qi Yunfei, back to Chengdu in a cart, and also thanks to Li Hui's quick opportunity, he sent many wounded soldiers and wounded generals back to Chengdu, otherwise a few days later, Nanzhao and the Tubo army would be surrounded, and it would be difficult for these wounded to fly even if they had wings.
In the past few days, the Tang army defeated and scattered soldiers will return one after another, Bai Qianyue came back and entered the big tent in Jiangnan West Road, reported the bad news, and described in detail the details of the two people luring the enemy to attack the enemy, of course, in the last section, he left Zou Yueqi part without mentioning it at all, only mentioning that Zou Yueqi was seriously injured and could not get out of the encirclement, and he struggled to enter the encirclement but there was no trace of Zou Yueqi.
Lin Mo, He Yuzhi and others were moved and sad after Zou Yueqi died hard.
Due to excessive blood flow and old age, the general Mingxiang injured Zhenyuan with too much force when he broke through, and it seems that he has no skills to recover.
Jiangnan West Dao will be surrounded by the people, Ming Xiang knew that he was not far from death, so he explained what happened after his death, Yu Gong: This expedition is no longer possible, I hope Lin Mo regrets taking care of the Jiangnan West Dao army, and must lead the army out of the place of death and return home safely. He explained to the generals in Tanzhou one by one, and instructed him to serve the country loyally and maintain the safety of the society, and not forget it for a day, He Yuzhi and other generals all made tearful promises. Yu private: The wife has passed away for a long time, the sons have become adults, and the daughter has been married, so there is no need to ask for family affairs.
Ming Xiang was lying on the stretcher, and ordered people to go to the camp of Shannan West Road to recruit Hun Xuan, weakly pointed to his famous weapon, and said weakly: "General Hun Xiao, thank you for coming to help, the Red Flame Fire Dragon Knife is a sharp weapon that accompanied me when I was young, and I love it more than my life." Today, I give it to you, and I hope that you will hold it, defend the country, kill the thieves, and protect the land and the people. Live up to the righteousness of my generation who studied martial arts... Hun Ying was about to be polite, but he saw that Ming Xiao couldn't breathe in one breath, and immediately lost his breath.
Inside and outside the tent, the cry shook the sky, recalling that Ming Xiang was strict in governing the army in the past, loyal and heroic, although quite strict, but also like a loving father to take care of the generals and soldiers at all levels, everyone felt its kindness, and couldn't help but feel sad from it, crying loudly.
Lin Mo regretted handing over the Red Flame Fire Dragon Knife to Hun Xuan, who was also injured in many places all over his body, all of which were skin and flesh injuries, but he was young and strong and his physique was extraordinary, and the injuries were very fast, Hun Xuan vowed to live up to his trust, and he would use this divine blade for the country to protect the country and defend the people.
Due to the battle of Hejiao Pass, Hun Yang and the generals of Jiangnan West Road also formed a life-and-death friendship, because the soldiers of Jiangnan West Road were the farthest away from the foot of the mountain because they served as the vanguard, so the losses were the greatest, and the remaining soldiers were very few, so Tian Dawei asked the commander-in-chief for the generals Ju Xingyuan, Bai Qianyue and Jiang Yangying, and listened to Tian Dawei's orders. The rest of the generals of Jiangnan West Province were subsumed into Li Hui's ministry and commanded by Li Hui.
The Tang army was unable to attack after this heavy blow, and was trapped in Dazhai, recuperating for a few days, preparing to return home.
After Tubo and Nanzhao won this great victory, they all had high morale and were unstoppable, and the whole army was grinding their fists and eager to try, wanting to annihilate the Tang army in one go.
In addition to the loss of a main general and his department of the stone mink department, the damage of each department was slight, and the fruit scorching sun ordered the general of the stone sable department Mu Shitong to lead the remnants of the stone mink department, and the general of the stone mink department, Busai and Dumeida, were not satisfied, and asked to be elected by the tribe themselves, and the fruit scorching sun repelled the two, and both of them retreated angrily.
At the Nanzhao celebration banquet, Nanzhao King Ge Luofeng privately asked Zheng Hui.
Zheng Hui suggested: "The Tang army is newly defeated, we should contact Tubo and surround it quickly, so that he doesn't slip through the net." Let Tang Guo know that I can't insult Nanzhao! Let him come with thousands of troops, and he will definitely have no return! 」
After the feast, Ge Luofeng sent Qiao Yingchang to the Tubo commander Guojie Scorching Sun Tent to discuss the siege and annihilation of the Tang army.
Qiao Yingchang and the Tubo general Guo Jiesun agreed that the Tang army would be besieged by Nanzhao in the east and south, and the Tubo army would be stationed in the north and west, and the Tang army would never be allowed to escape!
The king of Nanzhao, Ge Luofeng, and the commander of the Tubo reinforcements, the commander of the scorching sun, ordered the whole army of Nanzhao and Tubo to mobilize and quickly encircle the Tang army.
The Tang army spies detected the movement of the Nanzhao and Tubo armies, and hurriedly reported back to Li Hui, deputy marshal, although Li Hui was in collusion with Xian Yu Zhongtong, but after all, he rolled out of the sea of blood in the sword mountain.
So he hurriedly entered the account, and suggested that Xian Yuzhong should quickly withdraw to the country.
In the big tent, Xian Yu Zhongtong and the supervisor Li Fuguo were drinking and suppressing the shock, Li Hui summoned the generals into the account and suggested that the commander-in-chief should retreat quickly, but Xian Yu Zhongtong was worried that the army would be punished and could not swallow this breath, so he had other calculations in his heart so he could not decide. Li Hui urged three times and twice, and finally provoked Zhongtong.
Once the old bureaucrat gets angry, his official tone is like a surging river, starting from the fear of death and fear of difficulties of the generals and soldiers, to how righteous and awe-inspiring he is willing to repay the country with death, from receiving the country's favor, to retreating, he can't see the people of the world, only listening to Li Hui's purple face for a while, and red for a while.
Li Hui was submissive in his mouth, and scolded in his heart: "This bastard bastard is immortal, he poked out Lou Zi himself, but he asked Lao Tzu to clean up the aftermath for him, and the aftermath will be dealt with!" He's tortoise son's! still plays Lao Tzu so many official tones! Is there an end? I don't care! He was about to speak.
Mu Yijie, the deputy envoy of Lingnan Jingluo, spoke first and said: "The commander-in-chief is angry, what the deputy marshal said is right, the current situation is critical, we have to retreat quickly, we can still retreat with our whole body, it will be too late!" 」
Xian Yu Zhongtong was furious and said, "I ate the country's fortune and was cultivated by the imperial court, but now it is only a small defeat, and I will retire from the army. What kind of system? You want to retreat, you retreat! I am willing to repay the country with death! 」
