King Zuo Xian saw that his soldiers were about to be surrounded, and his face turned blue and white. Finally, he gritted his teeth and turned his horse's head, leading the guards around him to retreat. As for the Western Turkic soldiers who were attacking the city, he had no intention of fighting anymore. Tube.
His own life was gone, so how could he care about these soldiers?
Even if these soldiers are dead, he will not die. At most, he will have no rights.
On the tower of Dingxiang City, looking at the surrounded Western Turks soldiers, Li Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand, the soldiers of the Tang Army who surrounded the Western Turks took out the wooden knots on their waists and fought against the trapped beasts in the encirclement. The Western Turkic soldiers were thrown in.
Explosions came one after another, and the screams were even more shrill. A round of wooden lump attacks killed one-third of the Western Turkic soldiers in the encirclement. The remaining two-thirds were frightened by this scene and knelt down one after another. Begging for mercy and praying to the Tang army to let them go.
Li Jing did not kill these people. These prisoners were the best slaves. Luo Zhang said that many things in the Tang Dynasty needed to be built, and construction required people. Using your own people not only requires money, but also good food and drink. , but the available slaves are different. As long as they are given the least food, they can do the heaviest work.
It is easy to kill these people, but the slaves are gone, so Li Jing will naturally not kill them easily.
A great battle ended with Li Jing's victory, and King Zuo Xian fled Dingxiang City with only 10,000 remaining cavalry guards.
After two days of repairs, Li Jing left Li Ji to guard Dingxiang City, while he personally led the army to conquer the Eastern Turks' territory again.
Although King Zuo Xian was defeated, there were still many Western Turk soldiers guarding the East Turk territory in the East Turk territory. If these people were not exterminated, this territory did not belong to the Tang Dynasty.
How could the territory of the East Turks that had been occupied at such a high cost be given to the West Turks, let alone the coal found here in the East Turks, which was an excellent substitute for firewood, and he also had a share of it.
Li Jing made a major breakthrough here, Yumen Pass, and Luo Zhang was also unambiguous. When his uncle Qin Qiong rushed to Yumen Pass with reinforcements, he was surprised to find that the crisis at Yumen Pass had been resolved, and the 400,000 Tubo army was actually wiped out by Luo Zhang.
This made Qin Qiong very speechless. He had been hurrying slowly, fearing that something would happen to his nephew and the Yumen Pass would be lost. But now it seems that he was worrying too much. If he had known this, why would he be in such a hurry? Just take his time. Yes.
However, Luo Zhang didn't think so. After explaining it to Qin Qiong, Qin Qiong felt better.
If the reinforcements arrived one day earlier, Luo Zhang would be able to lead the army to conquer Tubo one day earlier. Just relying on tens of thousands of people in the city is simply not enough.
Although Tubo lost 400,000 troops, it still had a large number of troops. In other words, the entire Tubo people were in a state of soldiers.
His people were soldiers during war, and temple believers, farmers, etc. when not at war.
Moreover, these people were very crazy in fighting, as you can see by looking at Lu Dongzan, who actually dared to lead the Tubo people into the Tang Dynasty through a small road.
Luo Zhang wouldn't have dared to take the risk of going deep behind enemy lines like this. Doing so was no different from seeking death. That's what Kelu Dongzan did.
Because of this, Luo Zhang did not dare to lead an army to attack Tubo. Instead, he waited for the arrival of reinforcements.
After a day of repairs, Qin Ke headed towards Tubo with 100,000 troops, while Qin Qiong stayed at Yumen Pass. Everyone was happy that Luo Zhang won. If Luo Zhang lost, at least there would be a way out, and Yumen Pass could not tolerate any losses.
Tubo, after learning that Lu Dongzan was defeated, the entire Tubo became commotion. This war placed the hope of the entire Tubo. The conflicts within Tubo became more and more intense. Only the benefits gained from this war can calm the internal conflicts in Tubo. contradiction.
But the battle was lost, which caused the internal conflicts in Tubo not only to not subside, but to become even more chaotic.
The high priests and wealthy people in Tubo criticized Songtsen Gampo one after another. This war was approved by Songtsen Gampo. Without Songtsen Gampo's support, one Ludongzan would not be enough to watch.
In the Tubo Palace, Songtsan Gampo's face was extremely ugly. His bedroom was littered with pieces, and all the tables and chairs fell to the ground. It was obvious that Songtsen Gampo had just vented his anger here.
"Idiot, idiot!!! Lu Dongzan, you are an idiot!!!"
