Upon hearing the general's inquiry, the spy hurriedly replied: "Sir, it is confirmed that there is a Luo Zhang in the Tang Army. I can see it is true. The Luo Zhang is just like what was painted in the painting. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it."
"Yes, sir, even Luo Zhang, I saw it too."
Several spies agreed and confirmed that they had seen Luo Zhang, which made the Tubo general determined.
Although Luo Zhang did not step into his ambush circle, it does not matter. As long as he is sure that Luo Zhang has arrived and kills Luo Zhang, then the Tang army will naturally be leaderless and will be in chaos. At that time, the life and death of the entire Tang army will be But it's in his hands.
Thinking of this, the Tubo general immediately ordered an attack on the Tang army!
After receiving the order from their generals, the Tubo army, which was originally lying on the mountainside, started fighting from the mountainside and rushed down from top to bottom towards the Tang army who was close at hand below the mountain.
The momentum was indeed very loud, and the mountain was densely packed with people.
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Luo Zhang's lips, and he immediately gave the order, discarding his armor and weapons, and pretending to be running away, so that the Tubo people mistakenly thought that he was afraid and started to run away.
Luo Zhang fled, but the Tubo army did not pursue him immediately. Instead, they picked up the armor and weapons discarded by Luo Zhang's army on the ground.
These things are all good and valuable things. If you take back a set of armor, you can exchange it for a cow.
You must know that cattle are also very precious in Tubo. Generally, only big landowners and high priests have many cattle and sheep. As long as ordinary people have one cow, their status will change and they will become a middle-class noble!
The reason for this is also because a cow can support the labor force of five or six people. With cows, as long as you accumulate slowly, your wealth will accumulate more and more, and you will no longer have to work with your own hands like before!
In Tubo, most of the armors were worn by the escorts owned by the rich.
There was almost no forging in Tubo. The soldiers wore better leather armor, some didn't even have leather armor, just a coat, and some were shirtless, but Tubo was poor and the armor was precious.
The soldiers picked up their armors and weapons and did not pursue the Tang army. This made the general so angry that he sent his own guards. Then he drove the soldiers down the mountain and continued to pursue Luo Zhang's army.
The general didn't want Luo Zhang to run away because of some armor. If Luo Zhang really ran away, then he would have failed.
The purpose of Luo Zhang throwing away his armor and weapons was to delay time and create conditions for his departure. If the Tibetan army bites him in the back and beats him, his losses will be considerable, so it is better to use armor and weapons to delay it.
Anyway, as long as he defeats the Tubo army and horses, these things are not all his. Now, they are just placed in the hands of these Tubo people for safekeeping.
In this moment of delay, Luo Zhang successfully escaped from the Tibetan pursuit with his 20,000 troops.
Of course, Luo Zhang controlled his speed very well and did not run too fast. Instead, he made the Tubo people mistakenly think that there was still a chance and that they could catch up with Luo Zhang as long as they pursued him.
At this moment, Luo Zhang had come to Cheng Yaojin's side and warned: "Look at General Cheng soon, the army will show its strength!"
"Hahaha, just watch out and make sure you won't let these Tubo barbarians run away!" Cheng Yaojin laughed.
Time passed by, and after about a cup of tea, the Tibetan troops finally caught up.
Seeing that they were about to catch up with the Tang troops who were fleeing, they saw that these Tang troops actually stopped and stopped running. They turned around and held something in their hands, ready to throw it back.
Although the Tubo general had never seen a wooden lump, he instinctively felt that something was wrong and immediately ordered a retreat, but by this time it was already too late to retreat!
The wooden lumps were thrown out one by one. Although they were looking up, the distance was so close that they were still thrown into the Tubo army.
"Boom boom boom!"
Loud noises were heard halfway down the mountainside, and then broken limbs and broken arms were seen flying everywhere, accompanied by shrill screams.
After a round of surprise attacks by wooden knots, densely packed Tang troops appeared halfway up the mountainside, charging towards the Tubo army below.
At this time, the Tubo army and horses had long been without a master, so they were no match for the Tang army. They were scattered by the army led by Cheng Yaojin without even a fight.
What awaited the Tibetan army was a one-sided massacre.
