When the news came out, Songtsen Gampo lost thousands of cavalry, and before the battle started, he was put on a table by the Tang people, and whoever felt better was replaced. 200,000 Tubo soldiers, in the case of the anger of the king of Tubo, except for leaving 50,000 soldiers and horses to protect the supplies, all the rest were dispatched.
Duoji Pubu and the cavalry vanguard were the first to feel that he wanted to be ashamed, and they had long been angry when they were teased by the Tang people again and again.
"The front is Hezhou, the general, be careful."
Luo Jia Solang reminded from the side.
"Order down, let the soldiers cheer up, beware of the Tang people's sneak attack."
Dorje Pubu said.
As soon as he finished speaking, arrows suddenly appeared around him.
"Ground attack, dodge quickly."
Loga Solang said.
They were cavalry speeds and returned fire with arrows, and the horses of the Tubo soldiers were skillful, and the casualties were not large under the sneak attack.
By the time they were about to pursue, the small group of Tang people had already run away.
"The Tang people are really cunning."
Luo Jia Suolang said angrily, he wanted to chase people and ran away, so he could only move on.
The heralds had to pass on the sneak attack on the vanguard cavalry to the main force behind, and it was the responsibility of their vanguard cavalry not to threaten the entire main force because of their carelessness.
Darbaatar was notified by the heralds, and immediately stopped the team when he was attacked in front, and Songtsen Gampo could not make any mistakes in his personal expedition to the Tang Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, the cavalry in front encountered a sneak attack by the Tang people, and it seems that they had already made an ambush, please ask the king to indicate whether to continue to advance."
Darbaatar said.
Lu Dongzan followed Songtsen Gampo's side and said: "The Tang people are cunning, I'm afraid there is an ambush." ” Darbaatar said on the side: "The king" "Go ahead, and if you encounter an ambush, you can destroy them directly for me."
Songtsen Gampo said.
Darbaatar waited for Songtsen Gampo to make such a decision. 150,000 soldiers and horses were mighty, and just halfway through, the cavalry of the Tang people came to carry out a surprise attack again, and they ran away after a fight.
Continue to let the herald go back to report, knowing that they have only encountered a relatively strong position ten miles away from Hezhou, and the vanguard on both sides is evenly matched.
Hou Junji's cavalry was specially responsible for raiding, sneak attack, and pathfinding in the front, as the first line of interception, no need to fight hard, just play the momentum of the Tang people, and the role was to deter the Tubo people.
Seizing this opportunity, Hou Junji was not polite, there was no need for a major conflict, but the result was unexpected, and the pioneers of the two rooms were mediocre.
"General Hou, our cavalry is back, and the loss of five hundred has not benefited the other party."
The cavalry captain came back to report.
"Hmph, the Tubo people will teach them a good lesson when they enter the ambush circle, hurry up and call people to prepare, and send someone back to the camp to send a letter to inform the Tubo soldiers and horses of the situation."
Hou Jun Jidao.
The big war is imminent, even if he has an idea at this time, he must be ordered to fight by the commander-in-chief, otherwise it will easily affect the overall battle situation, and they can't afford such a loss.
In the Hezhou camp, Li Jing received the news that Tubo was now not far from Hezhou, and according to their speed, they would be able to overwhelm the border at noon.
"Lan Guogong, is your arrangement okay?"
asked Li Jing worriedly.
"Didn't you make a deduction with General Li, as long as they fall into our ambush, they won't be able to get better, now it's up to General Hou."
Yuan Shan said.
Didn't Hou Junji want to perform, Yuan Shan directly gave him a task to intercept the main force of Tubo with his soldiers and horses, such a face-showing task can fight the main force, and Li Jing's main force is to stay in the city temporarily just in case, of course, Hou Junji does not know that Li Jing's troops are vacant, if they are transferred out to attack together, I am afraid that they have not yet fought, and there may be internal problems.
So Yuan Shan took advantage of Hou Junji's eagerness to let him take on the arduous task, and Li Jing sent 10,000 horses to assist him, if he succeeded, he would naturally be the first to work, and Li Jing could also fish for some oil and water on the side.
General Darbaatar informed Songtsen Gampo of the clash with the Tang cavalry ahead, and the Tang suffered at least 500 casualties, which greatly boosted his morale.
Songtsen Gampo was a little proud, their Tubo cavalry was very powerful, and they really underestimated the riding skills of the Tang people.
The Tang people are very strong in combat, but their cavalry is always a weakness, even if they can fight the Turks, but the number of people they pay is very large, and what is won by less is braggart in the eyes of Songtsen Gampo.
In fact, the Tang people have been improving their combat effectiveness since they learned to make horseshoes and stirrups, and they need high skills on horses, and after several years of adaptation and training, their overall combat effectiveness is basically not weak, especially after using the weapons provided by the Ordnance Supervisor, they are sharper and stronger, and they always maintain the advantage of armor when fighting with the Turks.
In fact, the same is true for Tubo, with excellent armor and sharp blades, the strength of the Tubo people is relatively strong, they are all good horses, natural cavalry, and the armor is not too weak than that of the Tang Dynasty.
Don't underestimate leather armor, it's not easy for an ordinary sword to cut through thick cowhide.
There were 50,000 of the 150,000 soldiers and horses in Tubo, and they were getting closer and closer to Hezhou, and the vanguard cavalry team that was just about to see Duoji Pubu in Hezhou felt that something was not right, because their horses were afraid.
But everything came too fast, and they didn't know what was beneath the ground, and when they found out that something was wrong, most of the forward cavalry were blown away by the large artillery battles that were lying in ambush underground.
The extra-large ground mine made by the Ordnance Supervisor according to Yuan Shan's requirements is mediocre, but the iron that flies out after the explosion is very dangerous, and it will have a huge impact on the cavalry and horses, and it will be even worse if it is replaced by a human.
Starting from the vanguard soldiers and horses, the explosion lasted all the way for more than 500 meters, which is the largest number of people that the ordnance supervisor can draw manpower to make, none of the Tubo soldiers on this road were spared, the war horses were seriously damaged, and the people were even more miserable, the wounded on the battlefield were a burden, especially the lightly wounded, the combat power of the battle was insufficient, and it was a waste of resources not to mention that it was a waste of resources to drag it out if it didn't fight.

A burst of the entire vanguard is basically counted as this is thirty percent, in the chaos Hou Junji's people are a mess of arrows, arrows are the same as no money, a group of three, one person is tired and immediately replaced, an archer is protected by two shield soldiers, even if the other party fights back, at least it can effectively resist.
Hou Junji was very excited, he saw the effect, he finally knew why His Majesty must personally take charge of the Ordnance Prison today, and invest in maintaining this institution at any cost, today he really understood.
An ordnance supervisor can at least reach most of the Tang army, and Hou Junji is very eager for it.
