Ten miles west of Songzhou City. On a flat field.
The 20,000 Tang troops stood upright at the scene with great momentum. Watching the black line in front of them gradually approaching, they couldn't help but tighten their weapons in their hands and wait there.
In the middle of the military formation, Li Daozong looked at the black line in front of the Tubo soldiers and horses approaching from the sky and laughed.
"The Tibetan people only have a larger number of people. What kind of capabilities can they have? They dare to be enemies of the Tang Dynasty. It's a matter of life and death."
Li Daozong said something, and hurriedly began to give orders, and began to spread out his troops, arranging them properly according to the formation he originally arranged. He must not let the Tubo soldiers underestimate them.
As the Tang army began to change its formation, the originally harmless military formation immediately turned into a murderous military formation. In the Tibetan camp opposite the military formation, the uncle of Songtsan cadre was riding on a tall horse. Arriving at the scene under the escort of a group of Tibetan warriors, they looked at the Tang army camp in the distance and couldn't help but laugh.
"The Tang army really didn't take us seriously with only 20,000 people. Fortunately, I came to them with 60,000 people. I wanted to see how these 20,000 people were my opponent of 60,000 people. .”
After Songtsan cadre's uncle finished speaking, the younger brother next to him hurriedly complimented him.
"The general is wise and powerful, and has made arrangements a long time ago. The Tang army is just trying to block the car with its arms, and deliberately commits suicide. As long as the 30,000 men we arranged to attack successfully and cut off the Tang army's retreat, we will never let these Tang soldiers return alive. Those from Songzhou City will only let them fall in front of us and become the trophies of our successful establishment of prestige."
Cadre Songtsan's uncle laughed.
"Very well, that's it, but the ten thousand people we left on the mountain are quite irritating."
As soon as Songtsan Cadre's uncle finished speaking, a soldier next to him started talking.
"These people actually consider themselves to be the confidants of Songtsan cadres. There is no need for them to exist. It is impossible to gain military exploits and receive rewards from Songtsan cadres!
It's better to stay on the mountain honestly and let them get no credit at all. Songtsan cadres have no way to reward them. If Songtsin cadres dare to defy the rule of the world and reward them, it will be a good opportunity for Songtsin cadres to roll down from their lofty position and deprive them of this precious position. Leave it to the adults. "
These people kept complimenting Songtsan Cadre's uncle here, and Songtsan Cadre's uncle even smiled proudly.
"Very good, that's it. The whole army moves forward quickly, taking advantage of the cool weather to rush forward and wipe out all the Tang troops in front of them.
As long as one Tang army can be eliminated, I am guaranteed to be rewarded here. If ten officers are eliminated, they will be promoted to two levels. If one hundred officers are eliminated, they will be promoted to five levels. "
It is even more impossible for Songtsan Cadre to come up with such a reward, but his uncle is nominally responsible for handling the government affairs, but the person who controls Songtsan Cadre has no scruples in awarding rewards here on Songtsan Cadre's behalf.
At this time, everyone cheered and applauded even more.
"Your Excellency is wise. It is our honor to follow you. Now we will rush forward and completely eliminate the Tang army in front of us."
The uncle of Songtsan cadre had his own plan and waved the small token in his hand. While waving the token, the dozen generals next to him nodded hurriedly and divided into more than a dozen camps. With their men, There was no formation at all and they rushed towards the direction of Li Daozong's military formation.
Li Daozong couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the Tibetan soldiers getting closer and closer.
"Are they here to attack our military formation, or are they here to give us military exploits?
of? This general has never thought about it. There is no need to pay attention to the formation when the two armies are fighting. It is really interesting to rush forward like this. "
Li Daozong said this, and the deputy general next to him spoke hurriedly.
"General, what are we doing now? Should we separate the teams to face the enemy separately, or should we continue to gather together?"
Li Daozong looked at his lieutenant and said.
"Don't be impatient. I don't have a magic weapon. Why bother to separate to meet the enemy and cause them to suffer heavy losses everywhere? They will just keep running backwards. Our task now is to wait until they enter. After our attack range, let them see what we are capable of, and let them know that we are invincible."
As soon as Li Daozong finished speaking, his deputy general was next to him and complimented him.
"General Shengming, you have made preparations in advance. These people are just local chickens and dogs who are giving us military exploits."
Just after the deputy general finished speaking, Li Daozong waved his hand, and soon the messengers began to wander among the army, warning the soldiers under Li Daozong who were preparing magic weapons to be ready at any time to launch attacks against the Tibetan enemies. A fatal blow.
Under Li Daozhong's constant calls, the Tubo army formation got closer and closer to them. As for in the other direction, Xue's army outside Songzhou City Li and his troops were quietly hiding around.
Fortunately, the Tiance Guards consisted of two regiments, with two troops.
Xue Li led his first group and stayed in the woods, while the second group waited in a more secluded location.
Changsun Chong, who was next to Xue Li, came to him very excited with a piece of grass in his mouth and asked.
"General, do the Tibetan people really have such ambitions that they dare to surround us all at once and attack my Songzhou City to cut off our retreat? Is this possible? Do the Tibetan people have such courage?"
After Changsun Chong asked, Xue Li looked at him.
"We would rather believe that there is something than that that there is nothing. As generals, we have to prepare for the worst, and what Tubo can do now is to attack us from both front and back in the decisive battle to have a chance of winning.
It's not that we look down on Tubo, but that our Tang army is not as good as it used to be and is not on the same level at all.
And as a general, you have to have your own considerations, but you can't ask us to consider everything for you. We all have the opportunity to lead the army alone.
You can't help but lead the troops alone. Let us continue to lead you, right? "
After Xue Li finished speaking, Changsun Chong nodded.
"I know what the general means, but the general has never seen the effectiveness of this magical weapon in combat. How can he be so confident that this magical weapon will definitely take him by surprise and defeat the Tibetan army?"
As soon as Changsun Chong finished speaking, Yuchi Baolin said something next to him.
"What are you thinking? Do you still doubt the general's ability? This was designed by our former master, the former champion of the Tang Dynasty, and the current King Anbei of the Tang Dynasty. Could there be a problem? What's more, in During the battle against the Turks in the North, this magical weapon made tremendous military exploits."
Yes, the word "magical weapon" is in Yuchi Baolin's place. After Yuchi Baolin was able to say such words, everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they looked at him.
But before they could be surprised for a long time, someone else rushed over from a distance, it was Cheng Chumo.
Seeing Cheng Chumo rushing over, Xue Li was very curious.
"Cheng Chumo, you are temporarily leading the Second Regiment. Why are you here when you are not temporarily commanding your troops? What should I do if I delay the opportunity to fight?"
Cheng Chumo scratched his head, "General, it's because we forgot to wait where we are.
We couldn't wander around to ambush the enemy, but we saw a Tubo army heading towards Songzhou from a distance, and the route they set was the canyon where we were ambush. We didn't know what to do. "
"Is there anything else to say? As long as they pass through the canyon, the last tail will not let them out of the canyon. They will directly push all the stones prepared in the canyon from the top of the mountain. While blocking the canyon, they will also push the last tail. The tail is broken off, which makes it worry about moving forward, and its retreat is blocked. It can only rest temporarily in the canyon, or rush forward regardless of it, and we have enough magic weapons. As long as they rush out of the canyon, You came here to Songzhou City to deliver food to us."
However, Cheng Chumo said, "If you ask me, just catch them all in the canyon. Why bother to take them out of the canyon and then catch them all?"
Cheng Chumo said what many people were worried about, and Xue Li looked at him, "Didn't you consider that this canyon is very close to Tubo's first release line? If we start in the canyon, we can succeed. Beat them hard, but they will be able to find their reinforcements soon. It is dangerous for us to attack from both sides.
And this canyon is close to their territory. During their march, they will not care about the danger in this canyon. Even if there is a real danger, they can Find a place to calmly retreat to the territory they broke through, so what we have to do now is to let them surprise them in a place they think is safe, cut off their retreat, so that they can only move forward to where we ambush Slaughterhouse. "
As soon as Xue Li finished speaking, Cheng Chumo was still a little unwilling.
I still hope that the general can give me some magic weapons. After all, we are also the commanders of the second Tiance Guard regiment? It is also good to have certain magic weapons to hold down the formation. "
However, Xue Li smiled and shook his head in response to Cheng Chumo's plea.
"This magical weapon is not used to suppress the formation."
"Oh, how do you say this?"
The few people in front of them looked at Xue Li hurriedly, waiting for Xue Li's explanation, but Xue Li looked at them and spoke without any hiding.
"Magical weapons are used to protect our Tang Dynasty and kill enemies, not to keep them unused. If you keep these things for a long time, accidents will definitely happen. It is better to know that I will come out and get rid of them earlier." It is used on the battlefield, and we will make it again after the battle is over."
As soon as Xue Li finished speaking, Cheng Chumo, Yuchi Baolin and Changsun Chong nodded.
"We know. No wonder General Xue was so generous. He took out all the magic weapons without leaving any trace. He also collected supplies in Songzhou City and consumed all the materials that could be made. It turns out that this is the case."
However, after Chang Sun Chong, Cheng Chumo, and Yu Chi Baolin finished complimenting Xue Li, they hurriedly asked another question that was embarrassing.
"It's just that we have consumed all the materials. What if we can't defeat Tubo this time?"
At this moment, everyone's happy faces immediately turned gloomy as they watched Chang Sun Chong gearing up.
"You have the guts to say what you just said again. If you can say it again, see if I can beat you."
At this moment, Changsun Chong knew that he had made a mistake and hurriedly admitted his mistake.
"Brothers, I was wrong. I hurriedly arranged the manpower of the team and distributed all the magical weapons to everyone."
Looking at Changsun Chong leaving, Xue Li looked at Cheng Chumo.
"Don't wait here anymore. Go back and take charge. Remember to cut off the canyon immediately when the last one of them walks through the canyon and drive them towards this place. I have prepared a big gift for them. "
