Chapter 351 The defeat of Tubo

In addition, there is the identity issue of these people. If something happens to them, there is no way to explain it to their father. Despite what their father said, they will follow you whether they live or die, as long as they can grow up. Just be smart.

Although that is said, who doesn't want his son to live longer? The war on the plateau is still going on. There are no eyes on the battlefield. The most important thing is that Li Xiang cannot grasp the overall situation. Once these things happen, If people suffer any loss, the first person Li Xiang will apologize to is their fathers. Those people are all heroes of the Tang Dynasty.

"You should just stay here honestly. I don't know how to tell you about the above situation. When two armies are fighting, there will always be one who is short-sighted. If you lose your life, your own life will be If we, the Tang people, are exposed, I will be in trouble at that time. We are all acting in secret now. If it is exposed, Tubo will definitely make nonsense in front of all the countries in the world, and then the image of the Tang Dynasty will be finished."

What Li Xiang said is very possible. Now many people are speculating that Datang has a relationship with those rebellious chieftains, but they have no evidence, so even if what they say is quite true, if When it comes to evidence, these people will shut their mouths immediately. Once you appear on the plateau, if there is any news of any mistakes or walking, it will mean that this matter is confirmed.

While a few people were drinking and chatting, the Tubo army on the opposite side also began to perform martial arts. In order not to cause confrontation in the past few days, the Tubo army retreated a lot. Today, they finally couldn't bear it anymore. Do they want to fight with us? ?

Several people came out of the tent. On a hillside in the distance, the Tubo army lined up in neat lines and then charged forward. The people in the tent could see very clearly that the Tubo army was indeed not in vain. I have long heard that the Tibetan army is extremely brave. At that time, many people did not believe it and thought that it was all trumped up. Now we have seen the real Tibetan army. Their combat effectiveness is really not inferior to the elites of our Tang Dynasty. , of course, this is only possessed by the elite frontier troops of Tubo. Local armies in other regions may not have such qualities.

"We are really on the opposite side now. I just don't know who can hold on to the end. It's better to listen to my father and let's go straight to the fight. This will allow the Protectorate to move forward again in the future."

Qin Huaiyu clenched the steel knife in his hand. Although the two countries had no grudges, everyone could feel the antagonism between the two countries, especially these senior generals. If they had to fight sooner or later, it would not be as good as this one. The battle comes earlier.

The Tibetan army showed their elite, and the people on our side are not bad either. In addition to the Liangzhou defenders, the troops near the Protectorate also showed their momentum. It can be said that both sides have their own strengths.

You have 800 people running the horse, I have 800 people, and you have a thousand people sprinting, and we are the same as you. In short, neither side gives in to the other, but everyone present can feel it. The army seems to be lacking a little energy.

If Li Xiang is to say it, this is not the so-called spirit, but the belief that both sides will win. There is currently a civil war in Tubo. The two sides are killing each other in a daze, and the troops in the border areas are also They wanted to go over to support him, but because the Tang Dynasty's army was massing at the border, General Huyan could only stay here. But aren't they worried about the domestic war? Of course you are worried, but you can't leave even if you are worried, and your mood will become even more chaotic.

General Qin Qiong also came out of the tent. Although the fighting power of the Tubo army is not weak, if he is given the command, he will definitely be able to overwhelm the army in front of him. But as the Lord Protector said, there is nothing in hand now. Imperial decree, if you dare to order an expedition without authorization, what may be waiting for you is a self-cutting knife given by the emperor.

What's more, the imperial court has not allocated military expenditures. Even if they want to fight, they don't have the money. The reason why the general is here is because the emperor is worried about Li Xiang's safety, so he asked him to lead the army to move forward. If If anything happens to Li Xiang, we can rescue him as soon as possible. After all, it is thousands of miles away from Liangzhou City.

"Opportunity, opportunity!"

General Qin Qiong shook his head and went in. Such an opportunity did not happen often in the past history. Now this opportunity is right in front of him, but what can he do?

"fire."

Following the artillery general's order, more than twenty ballistae began their drill. Just now, the Tibetan army was quite powerful and might as well give in to the Tang army. But when they saw this army, many People immediately lose their vitality. The Tang army has this, so what do we have?

The Tubo army was not without courage. They also had the courage to sacrifice their lives for this country. However, when facing these artillery pieces, they felt a sense of powerlessness all over their bodies. General Huyan originally wanted them to find their confidence, but it was okay at the beginning. , the armies from both sides came and went, which can be regarded as building up some confidence.

But when the Tang Dynasty's ballistae was carried out, the people present could see clearly that this is the difference between us and the Tang Dynasty. It's a pity that we can't make these things. When the cannonball exploded, they also looked for it. People have collected some of that kind of black ash and hope to make it in the same way, but unfortunately, they don’t know what those things are so far. They may be some mysterious gadget from the Tang Dynasty.

The morale was high when we came out, but now many people are looking like wilting after returning. Lu Dongzan and the general looked at each other. If they had known that this would be the result, they should not have let these people go out to practice. Don't do it now. It was said that I had built up my confidence, but all my original confidence seemed to have been wiped out. It was really a case of stealing the chicken but losing the rice.

At midnight.

Two fast horses rushed into two military camps one after another. One military camp was that of General Huyan, and the other was that of General Qin Qiong.

The report is about the same thing. The Tubo army and the army confronting Chief Maiqi were divided into North and South Camps. At present, the North Camp has been destroyed, and more than 6,000 people were killed in the battle. The remaining 7,000 people fled back to the South Camp, and more than 3,000 were captured. Man, the Tubo court was defeated...

After receiving the news, Lu Dongzan spit out a mouthful of blood and fell straight down...
