Hou Junji looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on the general Niu Jinda, paused for a few seconds, Hou Junji seemed to have made a difficult decision, and ordered Niu Jinda: "Niu Xiuzi Jinda General listens to the order!"
”Niu Jinda stepped forward and gave a military salute, and responded solemnly: "The last general!"
”"With your 30,000 elite soldiers, within five days, you will sneak around the rear of the Tubo army lightly, and form a closed-door and dog-fighting formation with our army, and you will only have one task, after the bloody battle of our army in Tubo, cut off the other party's way back to the Tubo Plateau, and must not make an enemy leave the Tang Dynasty and return to Tubo!"
Hou Junji's military order was like a mountain pressed on Niu Jinda's heart, because this military order could not let go of one, the art of war is cloudy, the siege must be lacking, his own 30,000 army, I don't know how many Tubo soldiers who have returned to the country to face, if one does not let go, I am afraid that the battle of the trapped beast will not be able to get benefits, and it will inevitably be a bloody battle.But Niu Jinda is also a loyal general who serves the country, thinking that Hou Junji's layout of the Tang Dynasty has not been troubled by the southwest for 20 years, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "The last general will take the order!"
”In the big tent, the generals watched Niu Jinda, many people sighed, some people looked excited, and they all wanted to replace the old cow to guard the checkpoint.Hou Junji's next order was: "Partial general Du Shaoqing will be transferred to Niu Xiu's command to coordinate the defense of the Tubo rout and escape soldiers." ”"Du Shaoqing has an order!"
It stands to reason that Hou Junji was instructed by Emperor Li Er to protect Du Shaoqing's safety, but why did he transfer Du Shaoqing to assist Niu Jinda in completing this tragic task at this time?
Hou Junji is also helpless, closing the door and beating the dog must prevent the dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, so Niu Jinda is bound to face a hard battle, they quietly sneaked into the rear and stuck the other party's throat, there is no backup and no supplies, so Hou Junji can only match them with a top military doctor, hoping that they can last a while longer.It's not that Hou Junji doesn't listen to the emperor's orders, it's not that Hou Junji has an enmity with Du Shaoqing, but Hou Junji is first and foremost a commander in the army, and while winning the war, he must consider the survival of the soldiers.Du Shaoqing followed Niu Jinda to become a military doctor, so Sima Duhe naturally applied to follow Niu Jinda's army to do this closed lock.Since he knew that Hou Junji was the prince's father-in-law, Du Shaoqing knew that this person would not be the eldest grandson Wuji's person, and for Hou Junji's righteousness and arrangement, Du Shaoqing was convinced, this was a decision that a qualified Tang marshal should make.In the city of Yazhou, Jiannan Province, Songtsen Gampo, the lord of Tubo, was listening to the report of his subordinates, and 50,000 reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty had come to Yizhou City, and it seemed that the negotiations in Chang'an had broken down, so the Tang Dynasty was not ready to hand over the murderer, nor was it ready to send the princess to make peace?"
Zampu, since the Tang Dynasty is so arrogant, why don't we directly take their Jiannan Dao and expand the territory to develop and prosper, so as not to live in the bitter cold land of the plateau."
One of the advisors suggested.Although Songtsen Gampo is a little moved, he clearly knows the true strength of both the enemy and us, Tubo can defeat the Jiannan Road of the Tang Dynasty unguarded, but the suffering is that he can't hold it at all, unless he kills all the people of Jiannan Dao, but that is simply impossible, even if you kill too many livestock, it will also cause a riot, not to mention more than two million people?
Moreover, if Tubo wants the land of Jiannan Province to prosper and develop, it must rely on the local residents here to develop agriculture and industry.After pondering for a moment, Songtsen Gan Brown said: "Send the order, gather all the troops, and make every effort to seize the city and town near Yizhou City, and we must loot the food and property of the local people and transport them back to Tibet." ”What???"
Zampu, not to mention what the consequences will be if our soldiers are so ruthless, just the food and goods that have been stolen by this stolen person, I'm afraid that transportation will be a problem," "Execute the order!"
Even if the grain can't be transported, we can take it for ourselves and stay here as military rations, as long as our soldiers can hold the current defense line in the face of the Tang Dynasty's army, it will prove that our Tubo has taken most of the territory of the Tang Jiannan Road, this is a phased victory, presumably the great minister can also see it in the spirit of the sky. ”Well, I don't know where Songtsen Gampo's whimsical thoughts came from, but I have to admit that he should have seen it clearly, and he can't hold Jiannan Dao, so the best way is to plunder all the property as much as possible and maximize the benefits.But he forgot that he was facing the famous Tang Dynasty general Hou Junji, a general who was extremely hostile to foreign invaders.After sending Niu Jinda, he learned that Songtsen Gampo had made a lot of looting and looting, and Hou Junji guessed the other party's purpose, so although he only had 70,000 troops at hand, Hou Junji did not have all of them mobilized on the front line, so he confronted Songtsen Gampo's 200,000 troops across five miles.This is a very clever move, the Tang Dynasty has increased its troops, and Tubo has to take it seriously, because this Celestial Empire has always been famous for winning more with less, and even the incomparably powerful Eastern Turks have been wiped out to scum, not to mention the poor and white Tubo?
Therefore, Songtsen Gampo did not dare to slack off, and when he heard that the 100,000 army on the opposite side was threatening the camp, Tubo was in a tight position and immediately mobilized 150,000 troops to defend the Tang Dynasty.They didn't know that Datang was bluffing, in order to cooperate with Niu Jinda's actions, Hou Junji asked the banner to be an army of 100,000, not to attack the other party, just staring at it from a distance.At first, everyone was puzzled, what is the war, it is clear that the carriage and horses are done directly, and now what are they doing staring at each other?
But later, the scouts came to report, saying that there were very few Tubo soldiers who had raided Jiannan Province, and the generals realized that the commander Hou Junji used 70,000 people to drag the enemy's 150,000 troops, and at the same time covered Niu Jin's 30,000 hidden missions, which was really clever."
Zampu, Zampu, no!
Datang has added 50,000 reinforcements, and the situation is unfavorable to our army!
”Songtsen Gampo said calmly, "150,000 against 150,000, are we all cowards in Tibet?"
”But hearing the neat shouting and killing sound of the mighty pressure on the opposite side, Songtsan Gampo was silent, it seems that the Tang Dynasty is preparing to start a war just after increasing the troops, there is a way that there is no harm if there is no comparison, the Tubo warriors are indeed not cowards under the encouragement of the lord Songtsan Gampo, but when they see that the hundreds of thousands of Tang troops on the opposite side are full of armor and weapons, they are not calm, the Tubo soldiers are not cowards, but I have to admit that the Tubo soldiers are all poor!
We are all unclothed, soldiers and unarmoured, but on the opposite side are rows of neat and uniform leather armor Datang troops, how to fight?
We can't make every weapon a handle, what about others?
Rows of bright knives and guns are placed in front of him, no wonder Datang can win more with less, armed to the teeth, this is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!
