    According to Geshuhan's idea, Sambuza should be busy setting up a battle formation, so firstly, his army will not be able to deploy, and secondly, if he rushes into the battle, he will suffer a big loss.  Ge Shuhan could give full play to the advantages of artillery and deal a heavy blow to the Tibetan army.

    However, the development of things was far beyond Geshuhan's expectation. Sambuza actually sent the most elite imperial army to fight.  Ge Shuhan worked hard on the situation in Tubo and knew the importance of the Forbidden Army to Tubo. It was the backbone of the Tubo army and the elite of the elite, equivalent to the Longwu Army of the Tang Dynasty. This was a needle-point comparison.  .

    Ge Shuhan admired Sambuza's quick response and said boldly: "Let's try it out and see who is more powerful, Tang Dynasty's Longwu Army or Tubo's Forbidden Army! Brothers, in front of you is Tubo Zan.  Pu's imperial army is a tough opponent, we must not lose to them!"

    In addition to being well-trained and well-equipped, the Longwu Army also has one thing that is extraordinary, that is, it is extremely courageous. It can be said that there is nothing in this world that scares them.  As soon as they heard that their opponent was the Tibetan imperial army, they were all in high spirits. They were as excited as a greedy cat encountering a salted fish. They shouted, held the horseshoe with both hands, and rushed forward.

    Songtsen Gampo¡¯s contribution to Tibet was not only the unification of Tibet, but also his comprehensive reform of Tibet, the creation of writing, the establishment of a legal system, and the absorption of Indian and Chinese civilizations, which enabled Tubo to achieve a leap forward.  In terms of military affairs, Tubo used the Tang army as a model to make changes. The Tubo imperial army was also equipped with a sprint weapon, a spear.

    The Imperial Guards held their spears and rushed towards the artillery.  When the two armies met, it was like two mountains colliding with each other, with shouts of killing and the sound of horses honking.

    A dozen people from the Longwu Army fell from their horses and more than 20 people were injured.  The Tubo Forbidden Army suffered much greater casualties than them. No fewer than thirty people were killed and nearly fifty were injured, twice as many as the artillery.

    Although the Tubo Forbidden Army was modeled after the Tang Army and was equipped with extremely sophisticated weapons, the Tibetan civilization at that time was far less advanced than the Tang Dynasty, and its tactics were not as sophisticated as the Tang Army. This in itself was a flaw.  Furthermore, the artillery had a numerical advantage, 500 against 300. The consequences of this did not need to be imagined.

    I have to admit that the Tubo Forbidden Army is indeed good at fighting, but they encountered artillerymen from the Longwu Army who were only stronger than them. If other armies encountered them, the Tubo Forbidden Army would not suffer from this head-on approach.

    The reason why the Tang army was more powerful than the Tubo army was not because the Tang army was stronger in head-to-head confrontations, but because the Tang army was equipped with extremely advanced equipment, and the number of sophisticated iron armors was far beyond what the Tubo and Turks could compare with.  At the same time, the Tang army also had a large number of long-range weapons such as Fuyuan crossbows, as well as heavy-armed infantry and mounted infantrymen holding Mo knives.

    Usually when they meet on the battlefield, the Tang army always arranges its formation, takes full advantage of its equipment, and uses long-range weapons such as Fuyuan crossbows to kill a large number of the enemy's effective forces.  When the enemy rushes closer, the Tang army will bend their bows and shoot arrows to further kill the enemy.

    After this blow, the enemy had suffered heavy casualties. The infantry of the Tang Army were wearing heavy armor and holding Mo Dao. Hundreds, thousands, or thousands of people advanced together, "advancing like a wall", and they were invincible.

    The attack of the Tang army was not only carried out by infantry, but also cavalry. They also launched a charge, first with bows and arrows, then with horses, and then with swords.

    This kind of head-to-head combat between artillery and the Forbidden Army was rarely carried out by the Tang Army.  Whenever the Tang army wanted to launch a close combat, the enemy had been almost killed by long-range weapons such as Fuyuan crossbows and bows. Their combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and they could only let the Tang army massacre.  Therefore, the Tang army was often able to defeat many with a small number on the prairie. Cheng Wuting once defeated a hundred thousand Turks with 30,000.

    Sambuza had full confidence in the Forbidden Army. He originally thought that even if Ge Shuhan had a numerical advantage, it would not be a problem if the Forbidden Army went to battle.  Unexpectedly, in the first round between the two armies, the Forbidden Army suffered a lot of casualties, twice as many as the Tang Army.  Sambuza secretly screamed that it was going to be bad, and saw the artilleryman pulling out his sword and starting to kill.

    The Forbidden Army was also good at fighting and had iron armor for protection. However, they were not as numerous as the artillery, so they suffered greatly in close combat. When the two armies separated, dozens more of the Forbidden Army were killed.  In just one attack, the Forbidden Army suffered nearly a hundred casualties, while the artillery only suffered casualties of forty or fifty.

    Even so, Ge Shuhan was also secretly frightened. The combat power of the Tubo Forbidden Army was really not exaggerated. The artillery marched for more than a thousand miles without suffering many casualties.  It was the first time that such a single attack cost forty or fifty people.

    Brother Shuhan regretted it. If he had known that the Tibetan army had such formidable imperial guards, he would not have gone head-to-head with them.  Even if all three hundred Tibetan imperial troops were lost, it would not be a big deal.  But the artillery is different. It is the only artillery force in the Tang Dynasty. Every one of them is a treasure and will be used in the future.When they heard the roar of killing in Sunset City, the two knew something was wrong and immediately led their troops to charge over. Unexpectedly, Sambuza was attacked from both sides and completely annihilated his army.

    "It seems that God is helping the Tang Dynasty!" Ge Shuhan said with emotion.

    If Wang Shaohua and the others hadn't arrived in time, the five hundred artillery troops might have been wiped out.  Even if they are not annihilated, the price will be too high to be accepted.

    "General Ge Shu, I heard that you are rich, please give me something to this poor beggar!" Fei Junxing did not want to make Ge Shuhan sentimental, so he changed the topic.

    Ge Shuhan shook his head and said: "It took less than half a day after I captured Sunset City to figure it out, but the Tibetan army arrived. It was a fierce battle and I didn't even have time to get supplies."

    Fei Junxing didn¡¯t take it seriously: ¡°That¡¯s just right, I¡¯ll do it too, so that you won¡¯t have to do all the good things alone.¡±

    Brother Shuhan said with a solemn face: "General Fei, take the people to Duoma immediately! Remember, don't stay for a moment on the road. You can't rest until you see Cheng Xiaotian."

    "Why is this? General Geshu, are you afraid that I will take your credit?" Fei Junxing didn't understand what he meant and was joking to himself.

    Ge Shuhan explained: "General Fei, why don't you think about why this Tibetan army came here? They came to seal the mountain to prevent our reinforcements from arriving. What do you think is their real purpose?"  "

    "Leading troops to the battlefield and galloping around, Fei Junxing is definitely a good player, what he didn't say.  When it comes to these strategies, he is far inferior to Ge Shuhan. He touched his forehead and said, "General Geshu, I don't understand. If you have anything to say, just say it."

    "If it were someone who was good at strategizing, he would have understood the seriousness of the problem, but he was stunned and didn't know why.

    The military situation was urgent and there was no time for him to figure it out on his own. Ge Shuhan said directly: "The real purpose of the Tubo people to block the reinforcements, if I am not mistaken, is to attack Cheng Xiaotian. Cheng Xiaotian left the army and so on.  Oh my god, they haven¡¯t received supplies, and they are exhausted. Moreover, they are all lightly armed, so they can plunder. But if they fight the Tibetans head-on, they will suffer big losses.¡±

    Fei Junxing suddenly understood and jumped up: "Oh! Cheng Xiaotian, this reckless guy, is too greedy for success! He doesn't even think about the consequences!"

    "It's too late to say anything now. It's only right that you rush to reinforce him immediately!" Ge Shuhan ordered: "You leave a group of people, I want them to bring food and grass, and then send it to you. You start now  !¡±

    "General Geshu, thank you very much!" Fei Junxing said nothing, clasped his fists, turned around and left.

    As Ge Shuhan expected, the Tibetan commander in Doma City was a shrewd man and had already begun to close the net on Cheng Xiaotian.  Whether Fei Junxing can arrive depends on God's will.  (To be continued.
