It doesn't make much sense to worry about whose troops are stationed now.
Everything still needs to be under control of the current situation, and then we can settle the matter after we go back.
At the mountain pass at the western Sichuan crossing, Shenwu cannons are being set up.
Encountered an interception halfway, the power of the Shenwu cannon was very limited.
It takes time to set up artillery within, and the enemy has time to prepare.
Because Tubo also had the Shenwu Cannon, it knew the longest range of the Shenwu Cannon.
As long as the Shenwu Cannon is evacuated from the firing range in advance, the Shenwu Cannon will only be able to blast away rocks. If the Shenwu Cannon alone were to blast all the way through, it would be either impossible or not enough ammunition.
In the first round of counterattack, the Shenwu artillery had just been set up, but the enemy troops had already retreated into the mountains and forests on both sides of the col, and no one was found.
After firing a few tentative cannons, no one was seen. The whole army had to move forward, and the Shenwu cannon had to be dismantled and transported.
Such a disassembly and assembly process will take a lot of time.
It is impossible to pass through this place at this speed.
Bai Song sent troops for the first time as a general and could not be blocked at the western Sichuan crossing.
The western Sichuan crossing is located on the central axis between Chengdu and Jingzhou. Residents in central Sichuan have long heard about Master Bai of the Bai Song Dynasty.
When Lord Bai supported Chengdu alone, the news of defeating the Holy Lotus Sect had already spread throughout Bashu.
The people in Shu have unparalleled respect for Lord Bai Song.
When people in Sichuan heard that the army led by Lord Bai was stopped by the Tibetan army at the western Sichuan crossing, several hunters stopped them and said they wanted to lead Lord Bai around the western Sichuan crossing.
When Bai Song heard about it, he should be extremely grateful, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He really brought blessings to the world, and everyone in the world is a good match.
When the opportunity comes, sometimes you really don’t need to use your brain to fight.
At first, Bai Song was a little worried, not knowing whether he was qualified for the position of commander.
But now I see that there are people who take the initiative to offer advice in battles, and this position is not that difficult.
Bai Song personally led an elite group into the mountains along the path this time. Although all the troops could bypass the Tubo army, the Shenwu artillery could not.
Those Shenwu cannons have to take the right path to pass, so the Tubo soldiers hiding in the mountains must be dealt with.
The Bai Song Dynasty was not familiar with the mountain cols on both sides, and had no other way but to attack by force.
You also have to ask the hunter who leads the way.
Bai Song told what was on his mind, and the hunters burst into laughter upon hearing this.
One person stepped forward and explained: "Sir, don't worry. There are no trees in the Daokou Mountains in western Sichuan. As long as you stand high up, you can have a clear view of the mountains. We will take the general to the highest place to guard. We just need to try to lure out the bandits hiding in the mountains. We Stand still, record their hiding places one by one, and then divide the troops to defeat them one by one. As long as some of the thieves are eliminated, other thieves will naturally feel timid and will not dare to continue to block our army's advance. In the past, we hunted in the mountains. It means killing pigs in a mountain col and using the pig's screams to scare away the prey in the mountains and forests. A hunter records the movements in the mountains and forests from a high place, so that he can accurately search for the hunter's presence."
Bai Song nodded after hearing this.
The hunters killed the pigs and frightened the hunters in the mountains and forests. They could only use divine cannons to lure the enemies out of the mountains and forests.
With the plan in mind, Bai Song immediately sent the order.
Let an enemy serve as bait and push two Shenwu cannons to try to cross the western Sichuan crossing.
Sure enough, the soldiers pushed the Shenwu cannon only a few dozen meters in, and thieves appeared on all sides.
Their mission was to prevent the Shenwu cannon from passing through. During the frontline battle, most of the Shenwu cannons of the Tang army were destroyed.
As long as there are no reinforcements from the Shenwu artillery of the Tang Dynasty on the front line, Tibet's advantage will always be in front line combat.
Therefore, the temptation of the two Shenwu cannons was very great, and soldiers hiding everywhere came out to attack the Shenwu cannons.
The escorting soldiers dispersed in a swarm, and when the Tubo soldiers wanted to destroy the Shenwu cannon, the main force attacked.
The Tubo soldiers fled immediately, just like before.
The main force did not dare to go deep into the mountain col, for fear of the rocks and giant trees on the mountains on both sides.
They could only let a small group of soldiers carry away the Shenwu cannon left at the mountain pass.
As a result, the Tubo bandits stopped him again.
Then they were frightened back by the main force.
This went back and forth three or four times.
Standing at the highest point of the mountain forest, Bai Song and the others already knew the situation of the bandits halfway up the mountain.
All that's left is to dispatch elite troops and conduct precise investigations and strikes from top to bottom.
Bai Song did not take immediate action, but delayed some more time and ordered the army to disperse into small teams to clean up one by one at night.
The Tubo soldiers hiding in the mountains and forests never dreamed that a group of troops would come from above their heads.
In the middle of the night, the mountains were filled with screams.
After just killing half of the bandit army in the forest, the bandit army on the opposite hilltop naturally retreated in defeat.
At this moment, Hou Junji, who had been feeling aggrieved for a long time, led the cavalry team to intercept and kill the rebels on the only way they could retreat. They were so powerful that they killed this small group of troops without leaving a single piece of armor behind.
The killing night only lasted half of the time. Bai Song didn't even have time to count the casualties, and directly ordered the army to quickly cross the western Sichuan crossing.
It was already dawn at the mountain col at the entrance of the western Sichuan crossing.
Just look back at the mountain forest where Geng Geng experienced the killings, and you can clearly see the blood flowing halfway up the mountain.
At this point, the soldiers had won a moderate victory. The voices that had previously questioned Bai Song had completely disappeared, and more people were looking at him with admiration.
But Bai Song deserves the credit for this battle. After all, it was all the plan of the Orions in Shu.
Bai Song wanted to reward the hunters for their merits, but when he turned back, the hunters had already disappeared.
Moral support from many, scant support.
Bai Song felt it deeply at this moment.
But it's not time to relax yet.
After experiencing a small obstacle, greater difficulties still lie in front of Bai Song.
The battle situation on the front line has changed. It is completely different from what Bai Song expected. Therefore, all the original battle plans must be overturned.
On the way, Bai Song and Hou Junji had to make an urgent battle plan.
Hou Junji suggested that it was too late to rush to Yunzhong City to gather with other thinking armies at this time.
We don't know where the other four armies are yet. If we go to Yunzhou, the same situation as Liangzhou may occur.
If they hadn't saved Yunzhou City and pounced like this, they would have become a target for the enemy.
Everyone who has seen it knows how powerful the Shenwu cannon is when mounted on a city tower.
Moreover, the army does not have a base. Traveling long distances will lead to untimely supply of food and grass, and it may become a lonely army.
Now we must find a base to stand on and stop the Tibetan kingdom's advancing attacks.
After thinking about it, the only tactic that could satisfy these two conditions at the same time was to bypass the main battlefields in Liangzhou and Yunzhou, and directly go around and cut off the Jinyuanmen station, the key point for Tibet to enter the Central Plains.
As a result, the marching direction of the army was completely opposite to the original plan.
