The dragoons behaved in this way to prevent accidents.

The reinforcements in the direction of Chang'an must be the object of Tubo's attention.

There are many mountains and forests here, and enemy outposts can hide everywhere.

In order to keep the enemy from suspicion, the Dragoons must make the illusion that they have not yet discovered what is ahead.

It turns out that this approach does have some effect.

When the dragoons were still dozens of miles away from Songzhou City, they received information from Zong Langzan to explore the horses.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to take advantage of the fact that this wave of reinforcements had not yet arrived to launch another wave of attacks on Songzhou City.

Relying on his own experience, he judged that it would take more than a day for the enemy's reinforcements to arrive here.

Another round of attacks on Songzhou City during this period of time should have a greater deterrent effect.

In this way, even if the Tang reinforcements rushed here, the Tang army in Songzhou City did not dare to rashly go out of the city and cooperate with the other party to carry out a flanking attack on their own side.

After abandoning the sect and making this decision, Songzhou City, which had just been calm for a day, soon ushered in a new round of attacks by the Tubo army.

Han Xian was scrambling to organize the defense while carefully observing the enemy's attack.

It didn't take long for him to speak with some confusion: "It seems that Tubo has not found a new way to attack.

At this time, the sudden attack on us is for what it is? ”

Yang Jie said: "That abandoned sect to praise the young and vigorous, must be unwilling to confront us here."

At this time, I think I want to go to war just to test whether we still have the power to resist. ”

Guo Xin said: "If this is the case, I am afraid that the abandonment of the sect and the praise of the sect will be blind."

The walls of Songzhou City are thick, and a large number of people have come to the city to assist in the defense, and the grain stock is enough to support more than three months.

How can they easily lose the power to resist? ”

Han Xian shook his head and said, "It seems that this general is not so simple, although he is young, he is by no means an ordinary person.

He must have another meaning when he launched an attack at this time, and we still need to think about it carefully. ”

Yang Jie thought for a moment and said, "Now the Dragoon Army is coming.

Has the enemy already found out the information and wants to take Songzhou City before the arrival of the Dragoons? ”

After hearing this, Han Xian nodded and said, "Although according to the normal marching speed, the dragoon army is still far away from here.

However, the Dragoons have always been known for their swiftness and speed, and General Yang's analysis is highly likely. ”

Guo Xin on the side said: "In this way, wouldn't the pressure on us be reduced a lot soon?" ”

Han Xian frowned and said, "Even if that's the case, how can we take the dragoon army into the city?"

If the dragoons can't enter the city, there is nowhere to find food and grass outside the city at this time, so how many days can the dragoons last? ”

After hearing this, Yang Jie quietly took a look at the enemy situation under the city.

I only heard him speak: "Now the Tibetan side seems to have added a lot of Qiang soldiers.

I'm afraid that the losses we caused to the other party before have already been made up at this time. ”

His words made both of them fall silent, and they simply stopped the topic and concentrated on organizing defenses.

At this time, the three of them did not see any possibility of victory in this battle.

Therefore, we can only try to do a good job of defense, hoping that the imperial court can send more troops to relieve the siege of Songzhou in the future.

At this time, the two sides were attacking and defending with different purposes.

But they didn't know that the ability of the dragoons was completely beyond the expectations of both sides.

At the height of the battle in Songzhou City.

A thousand-strong forward force of the Dragoon suddenly appeared on the battlefield under the leadership of Xue Li.

This force quickly came to the rear of the Tibetan army before both sides could react.

They were a stone's throw away from the Tibetan army, and they all restrained the war horses under them.

Then, under the shocked gaze of the Tibetan people, he raised his bow and arrows, which was a round of shooting.

The Tibetan warriors were panicked by the sudden blow.

Just before their generals could react, the dragoons' follow-up shots began to fall one after another.

The generals of the Tibetan army finally reacted after paying the price of hundreds of deaths.

At this time, several angry shouts were heard from all over the Tibetan rear army:

"Enemy attack! The rear army turned to meet the enemy. ”

"The rear army turned back, and the enemy's reinforcements arrived."

"The rear army picks up the enemy, quickly picks up the enemy!"

With these shouts, the dragoon warriors fired two more rounds of arrows, and the Tibetan warriors were soon shot and killed by hundreds of people.

"Shoot back, shoot back!"

Someone among the enemy finally thought of returning fire with a bow and arrow.

It's a pity that at this time, the warriors of the dragoon army have already turned their horses' heads.

Before the enemy's bow and arrow fell, it was out of range.

Although the bow and arrow of the dragoon army had a much longer range than the bow and arrow of the average cavalry, it was still at a disadvantage compared to the longbow of the infantry.

Therefore, Xue Li did not dare to fight at all, and he immediately began to lead people to retreat after taking advantage of the opportunity.

Although the roads here are more difficult, the cavalry is still more or less faster than the infantry.

As a result, the warriors of the Dragoon Army soon entered the kite flying mode that they were familiar with.

Whenever you escape out of the enemy's range, stop and wait for a while.

Then take advantage of the enemy's pursuers to gain an unstable footing, and then come with another volley.

The two sides went back and forth like this, until they ran a distance of three or four miles.

In the end, the enemy generals finally gave up the pursuit in desperation.

However, Xue Li didn't want to let the enemy go so easily.

He and his soldiers followed closely behind the Tibetan army.

As soon as the enemy shooters turn and retreat, they will rush forward and come up with a salvo.

In a hurry, even if the enemy could occasionally return fire, a few arrows could not break through the defenses of the dragoons' armor.

Abandoned Zong Langzan, who was originally organizing a large army to attack Songzhou City, soon received news from the rear army.

He was shocked when he heard that the enemy's reinforcements were arriving so quickly.

However, when he thought that there were only about a thousand people coming, he was much more relieved.

Therefore, he decisively ordered his cavalry to meet this Tang army.

The Tibetan cavalry was full of 10,000 people. Under the leadership of Sambuza, he went straight to Xue Li and the others to greet him.

Faced with such a situation, Xue Li and the others did not panic.

The area around Songzhou City is extremely unsuitable for large corps operations.

Although the Tibetan cavalry was numerous, they could only fight against the dragoons in a limited number in such an environment.

In such a situation, the dragoons relied on the range advantage of their bows and arrows, which was enough to fight with the opponent for a while.

Tunmi. Sambuza is also a well-known fierce general on the plateau, but when he leads people to confront the dragoons, he feels constrained by the other party at every turn.

He wanted to get close to the enemy as quickly as possible and fight them in a hearty fight.

But the other party didn't seem to want to give him such a chance at all.
