When the army arrived at Yumen Pass, the soldiers could rest, but Luo Zhang and other generals could not.
Although I am very tired, I still need to understand the situation at Yumen Pass. After all, so many days have passed since the news was delivered to His Majesty. Now I have to have a rough idea of what the situation is at Yumen Pass and how to solve it.
Luo Zhang is now the governor of the Western Daotai, and has an overview of all the armies in the west!
In other words, Luo Zhang is the leader in the west.
Luo Zhang has always fought behind Li Jing, and this is the first time he has commanded a large army in an area.
It would be a lie to say that he was not nervous. Even though Luo Zhang had the experience of two lifetimes, he was still nervous when facing such a situation.
Of course, on the surface, Luo Zhang still looks very calm and majestic. Others were a little surprised to see Luo Zhang so calm. They all felt that Luo Zhang had a solution and an idea in his heart, and his originally anxious mood was calm. I have learned a lot and am no longer as panicked as before.
"Tell me, how many troops and horses are there at Yumen Pass now, and how many troops and horses are there in the surrounding cities?" Luo Zhang asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Master Luo, there are currently more than 10,000 soldiers in Yumen Pass, but most of these more than 10,000 people are injured. The fact that Yumen Pass can hold on until now is the result of their fear of life and death. Otherwise, Yumen Pass would have been captured by the Tubo people long ago. Well, you know, there were 50,000 horses and horses in front of Yumen Pass! More than 30,000 people died like this..." After saying this, Zhang Hongyu's eyes turned blood red.
Luo Zhang didn't speak, but waited.
After a while, Zhang Hongyu recovered, rubbed her red eyes and continued: "There are three surrounding cities, all small cities. Each city is stationed with 20,000 troops and horses, guarding both sides of Yumen Pass. But after we were besieged, , the connection with these three cities was cut off. It was basically impossible to rush out to contact them, so there was no news about those three cities. However, since Yumen Pass was like this, those three cities were probably not much better. Go, I’m afraid it’s been captured by now!”
Luo Zhang took a deep breath, but he didn't expect the situation to be much worse than he imagined. Yumen Pass, which originally had 50,000 elite soldiers, now only has more than 10,000 injured soldiers.
There were originally three cities to protect them, but now there is no news about the three cities. Each of those three cities has 20,000 troops!
The total number is 60,000 people. If the 60,000 people are included in the more than 30,000 people who died in the Yumen Pass battle, this is 100,000 soldiers of the Tang Dynasty!
One hundred thousand people just disappeared?
Luo Zhang felt that his heart was clenching and painful. These were one hundred thousand sons of the Tang Dynasty, representing the heirs of one hundred thousand families, and their blood was spilled on the battlefield like this?
"Lu Dongzan, Songtsen Gampo! If labor and management don't kill you, I will never be a human being!!!" Luo Zhang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
"Sir, what countermeasures are there now? You have only brought 30,000 troops. When will the reinforcements arrive?" Zhang Hongyu also asked with clenched fists.
In his opinion, Luo Zhang was just a vanguard, just to stabilize Yumen Pass and prevent the enemy from taking it. A large army would definitely arrive later.
Otherwise, with 30,000 troops, coming to Yumen Pass will have no effect at all. The only effect will be to continue what they did before, guard Yumen Pass and prevent the enemy from going further.
However, this would result in heavy casualties. This was how more than 30,000 people died before, and the same was true for more than 10,000 people who were injured.
So in Zhang Hongyu's view, Luo Zhang is here to stabilize the morale of the army!
But he didn't know where Luo Zhang was to stabilize the morale of the army. He really only brought 30,000 troops, and only 30,000 troops. What's next? Where will the people come from next? There are only ten artillery pieces.
Except for ten artillery pieces, there is nothing left! These thirty thousand people are all.
When she saw Luo Zhang shaking his head, Zhang Hongyu was a little confused and said, "Sir, what do you mean?"
"Without follow-up, these 30,000 people are all!"
Luo Zhang's words were like a bolt from the blue to Zhang Hongyu, and his head was buzzing!
"Sir, can we stop joking? Thirty thousand people? How can thirty thousand people resist Tibet's hundreds of thousands of troops? How can we defend Yumen Pass!" Zhang Hongyu stared at Luo Zhang nervously, hoping that Luo Zhang would tease him. of.
But Luo Zhang still shook his head and said: "Only 30,000 people, gone!"
