Outside Yazhou City, the 120,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty were waiting for each other, and Hou Junji led a famous general with a serious expression, and even a trace of excitement and fanaticism on his face.The Tubo army on the opposite side did not choose to stick to the city, but also set up a position outside the small Yazhou city to confront the Tang army.Songtsen Gampo led a group of subordinate generals out slowly, and Hou Junji greeted him alone."
It seems that Datang is stubborn and not ready to hand over the murderer to marry the princess?"
Songtsen Gampo looked at Hou Junji calmly and said.Hou Junji was unceremonious, and he made up his mind to leave the 200,000 army of Tubo, so he didn't have the heart to talk about these unintentional nonsense, "There are only damn thieves in Tubo here, and there is no princess married by the Tang Dynasty, and I will give you a ride today!"
Give you a quarter of an hour to reorganize your army and prepare to die!
”After finishing speaking, Hou Junji turned around and walked back to his own military formation, and at the same time transferred troops, and all the generals also returned to the front of their own troops and began to command the attack.Songtsan Gampo gritted his teeth, hating in his heart, he didn't expect the Datang side to be so arrogant and unreasonable?
Now what he regrets the most is that he didn't take advantage of the arrival of Datang reinforcements to capture the entire territory of Jiannan Dao, so that at least he will make a lot of money, and now that the two sides are evenly matched, I am afraid that he will not be able to get benefits, blame himself for being greedy for a while, and still worry about Chang'an's diplomatic mediation.In fact, it is not easy for him to completely defeat Jiannan Dao, at least the 50,000 troops in the main city of Yizhou, if he defends it, he will be able to block Tubo for a while."
Tubo warriors, avenge the great minister!"
Songtsen Gampo did not wait for the Tang Dynasty to attack, but directly raised the sword and shouted.After hearing this slogan, all the Tibetan soldiers raised their weapons one after another to avenge the great minister!
In their opinion, the Tang Dynasty slaughtered the prime minister of Tubo for no reason, and our 200,000 troops should definitely be divided to seek justice, so Songtsen Gampo saw this and used this to boost morale.Similarly, Hou Junji raised the long sword at his waist in one fell swoop: "Avenge the people of Jiannan Dao!"
”The war drums of the Tang Dynasty were beating, and everyone rushed forward excitedly, the tragedy of blood and fire, the collision of sword and flesh, there were no bells and whistles or conspiracy, the two armies totaled almost 300,000, and they collided together.Hou Junji stood firmly on the command platform of the Chinese army, and all the armies were handed over to the leading generals, what arms restrained what arms, and what troops were in what direction, they had already been arranged in advance, and all the generals were also veterans of the battle formation, so they were very skilled.In addition to the poor armor and armor of the Tubo side, the overall physical fitness of the soldiers is also a little weaker, the rest is not bad, these 200,000 are also veterans of the perennial war in Tubo, how many years did it take Songtsen Gampo and Lu Dongzan to dominate the southwest, so the combat effectiveness of this army can definitely not be ignored.At the same time, the 30,000 army led by Niu Jinda finally sneaked into the rear of the Tubo army and came to the border between Datang and Tubo, which is the widest official road between the two countries.But when they came here, Niu Jinda and others saw a scene that made people angry, good guys, Tubo actually set up a camp here directly, which was used as a material transit, not to send food to their front line, but to transfer the goods looted from the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that Tubo lacks everything, so there is everything in it, and every day at least a group of Tubo people come to transport hundreds of carts of property.It may be that the transshipment pressure is also very high, so there are a lot of goods hoarded in the camp and it is too late to transport them away."
General Qiyu, the scouts found out that there are 20,000 Tubo troops stationed here to guard the goods, and at the same time, there are 30,000 Tubo scattered teams who keep looting and transporting property here, it is said that Tubo has been doing this for more than 20 days, before it was 200,000 troops to rob together, and now it should be General Hou who dragged the other party's troops, so only 20,000 people were left to guard and 30,000 people to loot."
The adjutant respectfully reported the enemy's situation.Niu Jinda's hand holding the knife is creaking, these scourges, this is the robbers and bandits!"
Send the order, the army will go out, follow me into the enemy camp, and destroy this group of enemies who have robbed us of our things!"
Niu Jinda ordered loudly, drew his waist knife and took the lead in rushing towards the opposite camp, and the 30,000 Tang soldiers were infected by the breath of the main general, and they didn't care about the fatigue of running around for days, and they also roared and rushed forward.And the Tubo group of people who have been guarding the property transfer station steadily were stunned and shouted killing?
The sound of horses' hooves?
Where did it come from?
This movement is not small, could it be that which team came back with a bumper harvest this time?
But in the next second, the guards in front of the camp had begun to warn, and the sound of trombone spread throughout the entire camp.Isn't the enemy negotiating terms with Zamp in front of him?
Half an hour, just half an hour, the transit station established by Tubo on the border was completely taken, it was not that the Tubo soldiers had no defensive ability, they were really caught off guard, no one could have imagined that the Tang Dynasty soldiers were prominent, so they killed the rear.About 15,000 of the 20,000 Tubo garrison troops were killed in the chaos, and the others fled directly, and were pursued by the Tang cavalry for twenty miles, and in the end, only a small part of the defeated soldiers saved their lives, and in a blink of an eye, this large battalion changed hands.According to Du He's suggestion, the Datang army is stationed here, and if the flag is not changed, maybe it can lure a lot of convoys that continue to loot in Datang to come and send them to death, you must know that it is 30,000 horses, in case someone gathers inside Jiannan Road and kills it again, then this task of closing the door and beating dogs may not be fun.On the battlefield of Yazhou, the battle lasted for an afternoon, and the entire battlefield outside Yazhou City almost became a Shura field, with rivers of blood flowing and stumps and broken arms all over the ground, and in the end, the army on the Tang side was more tenacious, and the Tubo army could not withstand it, and began to collapse little by little.Songtsen Gampo saw that his soldiers on the battlefield suffered a big loss because of the problem of ordnance and armor, and the battle damage continued to rise, and sometimes the two people could not necessarily be exchanged for the Tang Dynasty alone, such a loss made the eloquent Tubo lord tear his eyes.He also finally knew the painstaking efforts of the Great Minister Lu Dongzan, if he couldn't get the same ordnance technology as the Tang Dynasty, Tubo would never want to have the same military strength as the Tang Dynasty, so he could only retreat in the southwest wilderness forever."
Pass the order to go down and retreat in full!"
Knowing that he was defeated, Songtsen Gampo no longer hesitated, and asked Mingjin to withdraw his troops, if he waited for the victory and defeat on the battlefield to be killed by the Tang Dynasty and the whole army was scattered, it would really be over.But even so, Tubo has lost nearly 40,000 people in this war, and Songtsen Gampo's military order to withdraw his troops does not seem to have been very effective, and the two sides have been entangled together, and Datang has no intention of stopping."
Zampu, retreat, we must retreat first, and if we delay any longer, as soon as the front line is broken through, I'm afraid it will be dangerous here."
The general of the Tibetan guards suggested.Gritting his teeth, Songtsen Gampo hesitated and nodded: "Withdraw!"
