North of the Nu River, a large army is advancing rapidly. It is the vanguard of the Tibetan army led by Sang Wang.
Chi Dezuzan was not a man who gave up easily. After making the decision to fight the Tang army in a bloody battle, he immediately adjusted his deployment. While moving troops from other places, he also transferred some of the troops stationed in Luoche City to the north to prepare for the Tang army's defeat. Another large river to the north of the Nujiang River is the "Yak River".
According to Chi Dezuzan¡¯s estimation, even if the Tang army advanced quickly and had a large number of people, if they were on the prairie, they could advance together and arrive quickly. But this was Tubo. There were not many roads and the mountains were steep, making it inconvenient for large armies to march. Not many Tang troops could reach the Yak River, and even fewer Tang troops could cross the Yak River. Then, he has enough time to stabilize the defense line of Yakniu River and build a new line of defense with Yakniu River. He has few troops and cannot confront the Tang army head-on, so he adopts delaying tactics.
By taking advantage of Tubo's complex terrain and difficulty in transporting grain and grass, we can drag down the Tang army. When the Tang army is unable to supply food and grass, we can then engage in a decisive battle with the Tang army. We can win in one battle and keep Tubo safe.
I have to admit that Chide Zuzan¡¯s idea is very good. Tubo¡¯s relations with Tibet are underdeveloped and roads are scarce. Maintaining an army of hundreds of thousands here is ten times more difficult than reaching the sky. Tubo was so poor that it was impossible to raise the food needed by hundreds of thousands of troops in Tubo.
As soon as the army was almost mobilized, Chi Dezuzan ordered Sang Wang to lead 20,000 vanguard troops to the Yak River, and his own army followed closely.
Sang Wang is also a man who is proficient in the art of war. He is well aware of Chidezuzan's idea and he agrees with it very much. After all, with the strength of Tubo, it would be impossible to confront the Tang Dynasty's hundreds of thousands of troops. Because the Tang army had sophisticated equipment, good training, and tough soldiers, its 10,000-strong Tang army was more powerful than the 20,000-strong Tubo army. A direct confrontation between the Tubo army and the Tubo army was like throwing an egg against a stone.
The Tang army should fight quickly and decide quickly, but Tubo is good at procrastination. After dragging down the Tang army, and then take advantage of the Tang army's retreat to fight again, they will definitely win a great victory that has never been seen in Tibetan history.
Let me make a digression: According to historians' calculations, during the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, the combat power of one Chinese soldier was equivalent to the combat power of twenty Hu soldiers. By the Song Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty, it took forty Chinese soldiers to resist one Japanese soldier.
Sang Wang¡¯s mission is also very simple, which is to rush to the Yak River as soon as possible and stabilize the defense line here. If he encounters a small group of Tang troops, don¡¯t be polite and drive them into the Yak River and drown them.
Sang Wang¡¯s journey was smooth and he didn¡¯t encounter the Tang army at all. After crossing the Nu River, he could reach the Yak River in three to five days.
"I still hope that some people from the Tang Dynasty will show up to test my skills!" Looking at the five thousand Forbidden Army wearing iron armor, with men like dragons and horses like tigers, Sang Wang was eager to fight.
He has a heavy mission, and he is likely to encounter Tang troops along the way. Chide Zuzan knew very well about the combat power of the Tang army. The ordinary army could not deal with it at all, let alone the tens of thousands of Longwu troops participating in the battle, so he sent 5,000 forbidden troops to Sang Wang in case he was attacked. need.
As long as he did not encounter the Longwu Army of the Tang Dynasty, Sang Wang was still very confident that he could defeat the Tang Army.
Desire turned to desire, reality returned to reality. After crossing the Nu River and walking hundreds of miles, he didn't even see the shadow of the Tang Army. Sang Wang had to give up the idea of ??fighting the Tang Army now.
"Your Majesty, we have spotted the Tang Army ahead!" Scout Pegasus came to report.
Sang Wang had just given up the idea of ??fighting the Tang army when the opportunity arose. He couldn't help but perked up and asked: "Where? How many are there?"
The scout gasped: "Sir, there are about two thousand people about ten miles ahead."
He came with an army of 20,000 and encountered 2,000 Tang troops. If he couldn¡¯t eat them, then he was not Sangwang. Just when I was thinking about good things, good things happened. This feeling was very good. Sang Wang waved his hand and shouted: "Send the order, form a battle formation! Get ready to fight!"
As soon as the order was passed, the Tubo army immediately changed from a marching army to a fighting formation, lined up in square formations, and headed north under the command of Sang Wang. If you look at it from the sky, you will see a large black mass, like a crow.
Sang Wang was riding on the horse, holding the hilt of the knife tightly at his waist, his eyes shining like a beast. Blood was so tempting, especially the blood of the enemy, which made people excited.
After walking for almost ten miles, I saw a Tang army in front, with bright helmets, flags, and a neat formation.
"Still so brave!" Sang Wang was very familiar with Tang Jun. When he saw the familiar Tang Jun, he immediately commented.
After a brief inspection, the Tang army also came up in battle formation, led by a big man, followed by a flag and a letter:It doesn't matter even if the other armies escape, as long as the Forbidden Army is wiped out, it will be a victory, and it will still be a big victory.
When another Tang army cavalry rushed over, the Tibetan imperial army could no longer resist, and the formation was immediately in chaos. The Tang army gained great momentum and fought hard to kill. After a fierce offensive, the Tibetan imperial army scattered and fled.
The Forbidden Army is the backbone of the Tubo army. The Forbidden Army is in chaos. Needless to say, the other armies are in disarray and are fleeing in all directions. Ge Shuhan commanded the Tang army to hold on to the imperial army and must annihilate them all.
After pursuing for a full thirty miles, there were not many imperial troops left and they had completely lost their combat effectiveness.
There is no point in pursuing anymore. Geshuhan gathered his troops and did a little inventory. He found that the casualties were less than 2,000, while the Tibetan casualties were over 10,000. It was impossible for Sangwang's 20,000 troops to enter the battle in a short time.
As for Sang Wang, Ge Shuhan sent a group of people to pursue him, but he escaped. It didn't matter. After the Tang army came to the city, he had nowhere to escape.
The result of this battle was brilliant. It was Ge Shuhan's first battle since he became a vanguard, and he fought very beautifully.
Ge Shuhan has extraordinary intelligence and can accurately predict the thoughts of the Tubo people. Knowing that Tubo would definitely send troops to stabilize the Yak River, they sent a large number of scouts while crossing the Yak River.
The scouts sent by Ge Shuhan were not only Tang army scouts, but also Tubo slaves. Slaves hated their slave masters. Tang Jun gave them freedom, gave them wealth, treated them as human beings, and made them grateful. Naturally, they wanted to complete what Ge Shuhan told them. In addition, they are very familiar with the local area, so it is easy to detect Sangwang's actions.
Ge Shuhan knew everything about Sang Wang's situation, but Sang Wang knew nothing about Ge Shuhan. It was reasonable for him to fall into Ge Shuhan's plan and return in defeat.
This should be the vanguard of Tubo. Taking the opportunity to march now will definitely bring great benefits. Geshuhan gathered his troops and advanced south again with his troops.
Half a day later, a group of people from the north rushed over. It was Cheng Xiaotian who came with a few people.
Cheng Xiaotian should be coming with a large army. It is impossible to come with such a small number of troops. Ge Shuhan knew that there must be something big, so he rushed to greet him: "General Cheng is here, what is the important thing?"
The military situation is urgent, so without any greetings, Cheng Xiaotian directly stated the purpose of his visit: "The commander-in-chief asked me to take over for you temporarily. General Geshu, the commander-in-chief wants you to return to the camp as soon as possible. He said that he has something important to discuss with you."
Ge Shuhan was very surprised: "What can be called an important matter? Everything has been discussed before marching, and we all know it! What happened?"
After the Battle of Doma, Guo Qiangguan summoned the generals to discuss their future actions. All things had been discussed and a unanimous understanding was reached. Now there are important things. Ge Shuhan is very strange. (To be continued. If you want to know about the funeral, please log on to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author and support genuine reading!)
