Sun Simiao and Lao Duwu had no intention of joining Luo Zhang, but followed closely behind to protect Luo Zhang.
In their opinion, if there are two old bald donkeys in Tubo, there will be a third or fourth.
In the dark, they can surprise those old bald donkeys who want to take action, but if they do it openly, it will be someone else who attacks them, which is very passive.
Fighting in the Xiantian realm is different from that of the True Yuan realm. Once you reach this realm, once you make a move, your power will be considerable. This is one of the reasons why Sun Simiao and the others left after arriving at Yumen Pass.
They don't want to fight against the old bald donkey of Tubo and ruin innocent people.
Luo Zhang didn't know that Grandpa Sun, whom he longed for, had already arrived and was following him to protect him!
At this moment, his army was only a hundred miles away from Tubo's territory, and these hundred miles were all mountain roads!
This is also the reason why Luo Zhang didn't bring the artillery. Although the mountain road is not very rugged, it can't hold him up. If he brought the artillery, he wouldn't be able to push it up. Even if he used a horse, it would be useless. The artillery is heavy. Very well, it's not like you're pulling on a flat bottom. You have to overcome the gravity of the earth when you pull upward.
Fortunately, Mugoda brought a lot with him, enough for Luo Zhang to deal with various situations.
The news of Luo Zhang's arrival was naturally known to Tubo, and an army of 100,000 was already ready to fight.
The general's idea of leading this army is very simple, that is, to wait for work.
When Luo Zhang climbed halfway up the mountain, it was time for him to launch an attack.
According to his thinking, the Tang army must have been depleted of men and horses at that time, and the attack at this time would definitely have miraculous results!
In terms of military strength, he only has tens of thousands fewer troops than the Tang army. If he really has the advantage of geographical location, he feels that it will be easy to destroy this Tang army!
Luo Zhang was also well aware of this. His spies were out all the time searching for information and reporting back all kinds of information to give Luo Zhang a reference and analyze the next move.
When they were almost halfway up the mountain, Luo Zhang left his 100,000 troops in place, led by Cheng Yaojin.
And he himself continued to move towards the mountain with 20,000 horses.
Luo Zhang's idea is very simple. Since you want to ambush me, then I will go with the flow and let you ambush me. When you think you have really ambush me, I will retreat immediately.
You mistakenly think that the ambush is successful. When you are chasing halfway up the mountain, Cheng Yaojin leads his men and horses to fight out, and then turns back to meet the enemy.
The Tibetan ambush will be defeated by itself!
In Luo Zhang's eyes, the 100,000-strong army was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Sometimes Luo Zhang would be glad that Lu Dongzan was captured, otherwise Lu Dongzan would never have made such a stupid decision here.
It can also be seen from this that Tubo has no one available, and the time for him to take action is just right.
It happened to be the time when Tubo was in crisis. If we didn't attack and gave it time to recuperate, it would become a serious problem for the Tang Dynasty!
The 20,000 soldiers and horses were divided into ten teams, each with 2,000 soldiers and horses, in order to reduce the loss of people.
Once encountering the attack of the Tubo people, even if they retreat as soon as possible, even if they lose men and horses, they will only lose a team of 2,000 people at most.
On the mountainside, the Tubo army was also paying attention to the movements of Luo Zhang's army. They did not realize that Luo Zhang's army had been divided into two parts.
Luo Zhang divided his troops into ten teams and successfully confused the enemy, making them think that Tang Dynasty had many troops.
Spies are also human beings. They don't dare to come up to check the number of people. They can only observe from a distance. If they feel that there are many people, they will report truthfully!
Little did they know that this was exactly Luo Zhang’s plan!
On the mountainside, the Tubo general couldn't help but smile from ear to ear after receiving the news about Luo Zhang's army. In his opinion, Luo Zhang was nothing more than that.
Lu Dongzan was actually defeated at the hands of such a person. He was really unworthy of his reputation. It was just a false name. The prime minister also relied on the strength of his family to get the position. If he had that kind of background, he could also be the prime minister!
However, after this military exploit, as long as he defeated Luo Zhang, his family, wealth, and status would be within easy reach!
As Luo Zhang got closer and closer, the Tubo generals were so excited that they started to tremble!
"Come on, come on, come closer, come closer..."
Just when he was about to order an attack, the Tang army actually stopped advancing and rested halfway up the mountain. This made the Tubo general as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
"Are you sure there is Luo Zhang among those people?" the Tubo general asked the spies sent out.
