Chapter 4802: Force Responsibility

Chapter 4802: Force Responsibility
Lebujie was not a very smart man, but he was good at making decisions. Since he had determined that he could not sit and wait for death so as not to fall into Lun Qinling's trap, he immediately decided to take the initiative to attack. No matter what, he would first defeat and annihilate the oncoming enemy and gain credit for his achievement. Even if Naluyi was lost in the end, he could use this achievement to make his brother look over his shoulder in front of the Zamp.

A group of aides tried to persuade him, pulling at his horse's reins and spitting.

"General, you should not be so reckless. Naluyi is a vital strategic location between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo. If it is lost, the entire Dafeichuan will be lost. How can the general bear such a responsibility?"

"It's better to stay still than to move. Don't take any risks!"

"General, if you go, the defense of Naluyi will be empty. If Lun Qinling takes advantage of the situation and sneaks in, Naluyi will be lost. How will you deal with it?"

"As long as we defend the post station, we will be invincible. We must not take any risks!"

……

Lebujie was overwhelmed by the noise. No matter how dumb he was, he understood these people's concerns. They naturally had the same concerns, but there was one thing they failed to say: those who went out of the city to meet the enemy would naturally be elite troops, and it would be impossible for them to bring their staff with them. If they stayed in the city, they would face Lun Qinling's surprise attack. Once the wall was breached and Lun Qinling broke in, how would they survive?
"Shut up! If you dare to make noise again, you will be subject to military law!"

Lebujie shouted loudly to shock these staff members, and pointed the whip in his hand at their noses one by one: "I will leave two thousand soldiers to help you guard the post station. If the post station is captured by Lunqinling before I come back, no matter you are alive or dead, your family members who stayed in Luoshui City will be beheaded as a sacrifice to the Eagle God! On the contrary, if you can hold out until I come back, I will let my brother personally write to the Zamp to ask for a silver certificate for you!"

All the staff members shut up instantly. Their previous panic disappeared, and instead their eyes were burning with excitement.

After Songtsen Gampo came to power in Tubo and completed the great feat of unifying the plateau, he then carried out a series of reforms on the original social structure of Tubo. The most important of these was the "Gaoshen System", which was divided into six levels according to the level of the position, namely jade Gaoshen, gold Gaoshen, Polomi Gaoshen, silver Gaoshen, bronze Gaoshen and iron Gaoshen, and then divided into twelve levels according to the size of the positions.

Usually a council or alliance ceremony would be held between the emperor and his ministers, and after discussion and approval, the authority would be granted to Tibetan officials at all levels, wizards, monks in temples, as well as local chieftains and officials in the conquered areas.

Gaoshen could be inherited and was the only class division in Tibetan society at that time.

In any era and any place, class leap is an extremely difficult thing. If a desperate battle can complete this leap and bring endless benefits to the entire family and future generations, they are willing to take the risk.

Because of Trisang Yangton's status and the trust that the Zamp had in him, it was basically impossible for his petition to be rejected...

"General, rest assured. Even if we are torn to pieces, we will guard the post station and wait for your return!"

"Please go ahead and make achievements. We will leave the post station to you!"

"I am willing to sacrifice everything for the general's achievements!"

In the blink of an eye, the attitudes of these staff members and generals changed drastically, and they fully supported Le Bujie in going out of the city to meet the enemy.

Just when Lebujie was about to leave the city, a scout arrived with news.

"Enemy cavalry is rapidly approaching from the north along the mountain pass. There are about 2,000 of them. They will arrive in about three or two hours!"

The Tibetan scouts had their own way of transmitting information, which was to use beacon fires. In case of an emergency, the scouts close to the target would light beacons, and different information would be transmitted according to the number of beacons, such as the number of enemies, the speed of advance, etc. Otherwise, if the enemy cavalry advanced quickly like this, the enemy would be at the gates of the city by the time the scouts came back to report the news...

Lebujie glanced at the sun that had just set and muttered, "It seems that the two armies had agreed in advance to launch a surprise attack on Naluyi from the north and south directions this evening. But now one army has crossed the Dafei River and is approaching, and the other army will take another three hours to arrive... This is a difference in marching speed, which seems to be an opportunity."

What he feared most was that the decisions he made were within Lun Qinling's expectations. Since there was a deviation in the coordination between the two armies, his proactive attack would definitely be beyond Lun Qinling's expectations, and only in this way could he achieve a surprise victory.

"Follow me out of the city to kill the enemy and achieve great success!"

"Hoohoo!"

The soldiers shouted loudly and their morale was high for a while.

Everyone knew that although the enemy they were about to fight was not Lun Qinling, the enemy's tactics were planned by Lun Qinling. Defeating the enemy in front of them meant defeating Lun Qinling... This was a great honor for all the Tubo troops.

The gate opened immediately, and Lebujie rushed out first, followed by three thousand elite cavalrymen. The ground shook and the weather changed color under the feet of their horses.

Even if such an army is viewed from the perspective of the entire Tubo, it is a military force that is enough to intimidate one side. Although Tubo is rich in war horses and all its citizens are soldiers and the whole country values ​​martial arts, it is not easy to gather such an elite cavalry unit of 3,000 people.

Chisang Yangton used the power of his entire family to support Lebujie's career. As long as he defeated Lun Qinling, he would publicize that Lebujie was the next "Tibetan military god", devote resources to bring him to the Tibetan court, and even grant him a jade certificate, continuing the family's glory for another 30 years...

……

The Dafei River is crisscrossed with rivers, swamps, and overgrown with vegetation. The paths are winding and very difficult to walk. It was better during the day, but as the sun set and the sky darkened, Bolun Zanren became anxious. The next journey was becoming more and more difficult, and there was no movement from the Luyi Post Station, which meant that his brother had missed the agreed time to attack the Luyi Post Station.

Is it simply because there is not enough time to travel, or is there some other unpredictable situation?

"General, the scouts reported that the gate of the Luyi Posthouse has been opened, and Lebujie is leading his elite cavalry to swoop down from above!"

"Uu——"

Hearing the lieutenant's words, Bolun Zanren suppressed all his worries in his heart, reined in his horse, and the soldiers under his command obeyed his orders and stopped.

Bolun Zanren said loudly: "If my guess is correct, then Lebujie must be planning to take the initiative to attack and kill us and then return to garrison Naluyi, hoping to resolve the two-pronged attack strategy set by my brother. Damn, he is just dreaming!"

He raised the strange-shaped weapon "Nail Hammer" in his hand high, and then continued loudly: "In Lebujie's eyes, my brother is the only opponent he needs to be wary of, and we are the walking meritorious service, just waiting for him to ride his horse and we will be easily captured!"

No one wants to be looked down upon, and the honor that comes from being a soldier makes everyone's eyes widen and full of anger.

"Tell me, are you a walking meritorious service, waiting for him to come and chop you up?"

"no no!"

Thousands of soldiers roared in unison, their voices reaching the sky.

"Okay! Then let's meet here and wait for Lebujie to come. Let's see whether his saber is invincible or my mace is indestructible!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Morale is high.

The reason why the soldiers showed no fear in the face of powerful enemies, apart from the anger of being despised, was more because of their trust in Bolun Zanren.

Lu Dongzan has more than two sons. In the Gar tribe, Zan Xiruo is extremely wise and is the "intellectual leader", and Lun Qinling is the "strategic leader" who is able to make plans and win battles thousands of miles away. In addition to these two shining talents, Bolun Zanren is also known as the "military leader". Although he is young, he has long been unrivaled in the Gar tribe.

When it comes to strategizing and deploying troops, Bolun Zanren is certainly not his forte, but when it comes to fighting on the battlefield and life-and-death struggles, Bolun Zanren is still better than Lun Qinling.

Smoke rose over the vast Dafei River, drums of war sounded, and a great war was about to break out.

The first to take up the battle were the scouts of both armies, conducting reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, quickly bringing the news back to the camp and preventing the enemy from bringing the news back. The dense bushes, the swaying meadows, and even the puddles in the wilderness... every place was filled with secret fights.

The news kept coming back, and Lebujie came at full speed without any fancy moves. His purpose was very obvious, which was to kill and annihilate Bolun Zan before Lun Qinling arrived at Nalu Station. After reaping this wave of merit, he would decide according to the situation, either calmly return to Nalu Station and wait for Lun Qinling, or simply give up Nalu Station and take a detour back to Lhasa City.

The rapid and frequent sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly from afar, shaking people's hearts like thunder rolling in the sky. Even the ground under their feet was shaking slightly. The war horses in their own formation began to paw the ground with their hooves and snort.

Finally, a black line suddenly jumped out from within the sight, and the deafening sound of horse hooves and shouts of killing came overwhelmingly. The power of the cavalry charge was fully displayed on this plain, majestic and powerful.

Bolun Zanren raised his mace high, veins bulging, and shouted at the top of his lungs: "For the survival of the Gar tribe, and for your own merits, follow me to kill the enemy!"

His strange-looking mace seemed to have a magical power that instantly suppressed the fear in everyone's hearts. All that was left was the strong fighting spirit, and everyone had only one thought in their minds: follow the general, and we will win!
Tubo's bow-making technology was very poor. The range and power of their bows and crossbows were insufficient, and they had almost no iron-smelting technology. The arrows they produced could not even penetrate the thinnest leather armor. Therefore, Bolun Zanren simply gave up the method he learned from the Tang army of first shooting two waves of arrows to kill the enemy, and ordered the spearmen to be in the front and the other miscellaneous soldiers to be in the back, ready for battle.

The speed of the light cavalry's advance on the plain can only be described as lightning. From the time they appear within sight to the time they rush before our eyes, it seems to take only a breath of time. The enemy's cavalry has already crashed into their own formation with the huge impact force of a full-speed sprint.

For a moment, the sound of spears piercing into the bodies of war horses, the sound of scimitars cutting necks, the sound of soldiers being knocked away by the huge impact force of the war horses... was deafening and overwhelming.
