Chapter 348 Lu Dongzan¡¯s decisive victory
In the battle of Qingqu, Li Zhen summoned fire rain and meteors to disrupt the Turks. The Tang army took advantage of the situation and wiped out 150,000 Turkic troops. The Turks' vitality was seriously injured. Khan Yibidulu Khan crossed the Qingqu with a piece of wood and was able to escape. Immunity.
After this battle, it was impossible for the Turks to muster such a powerful army within twenty years, and they suddenly changed from a first-rate powerful country to a second-rate country.
Li Ji is very ambitious now. If the Tang Dynasty is not surrounded by enemies on all sides, he really wants to fight directly, recover the six states on the right side of the river, and then occupy the Western Region and directly destroy the Western Turks.
At this moment, a horse flew from a distance. The knight on the horse came to Li Zhen. He rolled his saddle and got off his horse. He said in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, Tubo Dalu Lu Dongzan took advantage of the battle between our army and the Western Turks." At that time, he led 600,000 troops to attack Chang'an in a detour, which was less than fifty miles away!"
"What?"
Li Zhen felt her head buzzing, like a thunder explosion.
"Lu Dongzan actually bypassed Qingqu and launched an attack on Chang'an!!!"
"It's over. There are only 20,000 old and weak soldiers in Chang'an. How can they stop Tibet's 600,000 army???"
Now we can no longer pursue the Western Turks, we must return to Chang'an immediately!
At this moment, Li Zhen commanded the army to withdraw.
"Report! Prince, Lu Dongzan has cut off our army's road to Chang'an, and our army's logistics supply line is over!"
"Report! Prince Lu, Lu Dongzan has deployed 400,000 troops at the strategic point where our army leads to Chang'an. If our army goes to Chang'an at this time, it will be a trap for itself!"
"Boom!"
Li Zhen felt her head was exploding again.
Lu Dongzan used 200,000 troops to besiege Chang'an, but left 400,000 troops to prepare to deal with him, assuming a posture of encirclement and reinforcements.
It seems that the reason why Lu Dongzan did not attack Chang'an immediately was to attract his own army to return to Chang'an and then wipe out the last 50,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Li Zhen looked at the soldiers beside her. They were all excited and clamoring to fight back to Chang'an.
However, Li Zhen knew that she was the commander-in-chief. Others could act impulsively, but she must remain calm!
The more this time comes, the more you need to calm down!
Now that there is no food and grass, his men only have less than a week's food available. Li Zhen does not think that with these 50,000 troops, they can defeat the 400,000 Tibetan troops stationed in dangerous places within a week.
Lu Dongzan is an extremely powerful opponent. Now it seems that the reason why Datang is besieged on all sides is probably because Lu Dongzan played a role in it.
"Currently, we are at an absolute disadvantage. If we march towards Chang'an, this 50,000-strong army will probably die.
"Whether Chang'an is saved or not, the fall of Chang'an is inevitable. In this case, why is it necessary to bring in these 50,000 troops?"
These 50,000 troops are the last strength of the Tang Dynasty, and they are also the cornerstone of the Tang Dynasty's future counterattack. We must not lose anything. Otherwise, once these 50,000 troops are wiped out by the Tubo, the Tang Dynasty will really be in danger of annihilation and annihilation!
"Ding! The mission to return to Chang'an has started. The host must rush back to Chang'an within two days to meet Li Shimin." The system prompt sounded.
"Nani? System, are you kidding me? 600,000 Tibetan troops are besieging Chang'an. You want me to go back to Chang'an? You might as well just tell me to die."
"The host can disguise himself as a Tibetan merchant and return to Chang'an. After completing this task, the host will receive generous rewards. If the host does not return to Chang'an, not only will his life be deducted, but the difficulty of subsequent tasks will be increased to hell level. The system advises the host to accept it. this task.
Of course, in order for the host to complete this task, the system will provide the host with a Tibetan merchant and fifty sets of Tibetan clothing to confuse the Tibetan army on the road. "
When Li Zhen heard this, she knew that this was the only way to go and accepted the task immediately.
Afterwards, Li Zhen said to Pei Xingjian: "General Pei, you, Qin Huaidao and Shi Renbiao will lead the army to retreat to Lingzhou immediately."
"What? Your Highness, are we really not going to save Chang'an?" Pei Xingjian said with a trembling voice.
Li Zhen's eyes were extremely firm, she looked into the distance, took a deep breath, exhaled it, and said: "Chang'an, I'm afraid it can't be saved."
Pei Xingjian¡¯s throat moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he finally swallowed the words on his lips.
"General, I will obey your orders!" Pei Xingjian cupped his fists. Pei Xingjian had the appearance of a famous general. After a little analysis, he understood Li Zhen's last resort.An, I'm afraid it really can't be saved. Although Chang'an fell, with these 50,000 elite soldiers, the Tang Dynasty still has hope of making a comeback. But if even these 50,000 elite soldiers are lost, then the Tang Dynasty will really be doomed.
"Your Highness, when shall we set off?" Pei Xingjian asked.
"It's not about when we leave, it's about you taking these 50,000 troops and retreating to Lingzhou."
"Then, Your Highness, you"
"I want to go back to Chang'an!" Li Zhen said loudly.
"No, Your Highness! There are 400,000 Tibetan troops ambushing you on the road to Chang'an. How can you take the risk alone?" Pei Xingjian said repeatedly.
Li Zhen said: "I took dozens of people disguised as a Tibetan caravan and went to Chang'an via a small road. I think the Tibetan people's target is our 50,000-strong army. Even if they discover my caravan, it will not matter."
"But Your Highness, this is too dangerous. You should go to Lingzhou with us and command the overall situation"
Li Zhen waved her hand to stop Pei Xingjian from continuing.
"General Pei, I am the prince of the Tang Dynasty. How can I escape from the battle at this time?"
When Li Zhen said this, she had an awe-inspiring look on her face, but she was secretly complaining in her heart, damn the system, insisting that I return to Chang'an! Can I not go back?
When Pei Xingjian, Qin Huaidao, and Shi Renbiao saw Li Zhen's expression, they were filled with emotion. After all, it was His Highness the Crown Prince who actually sacrificed his life for righteousness. Under such circumstances, he had to enter Chang'an alone. With this courage alone, there would be hope for the future of the Tang Dynasty. !
No matter what, we must preserve the main force of the Tang Army!
Thinking of this, Pei Xingjian and the others knelt down to Li Zhen. Pei Xingjian said: "Your Highness, we will be loyal to the prince and bring the army to Lingzhou. As long as we are here, this army will be here!"
Li Zhen nodded, called Xue Dingshan again, and said: "Dingshan, these three thousand musketeers are the most elite troops in the Tang Dynasty. I will leave them to you. You must lead them well."
"Dingshan will live up to the prince's trust." Xue Dingshan knelt down.
Li Zhen said immediately: "Don't say any more, time is pressing, take action immediately, you will move to Lingzhou in the north immediately, let's say goodbye!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
Pei Xingjian and others looked at Li Zhen with reluctance in their eyes.
Li Zhen looked back, smiled at the generals, and said: "Everyone, the elites of the Tang Dynasty are all in your hands. When I come back, I will lead you and these fifty thousand heroes to revitalize the Tang Dynasty!"
"Walk!"
Li Zhen turned around and rushed forward with Nina, Daya and dozens of guards (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
