The Poor Son-in-Law of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 121 Prepare to cross the river, the last battle

Time passed bit by bit, but the water potential of the flood did not weaken at all.

The two ravines at the foot of Songming Mountain were filled with floods, and except for the thousands of people around Songtsan Gampo, all other soldiers were wiped out.

Dian Wei and the others planned to rush out of the fire and give it a go.

But suddenly the flood came and extinguished all the fire on the mountainside, and they were all stunned.

"Hahaha!"

Standing on the top of the mountain, Dian Wei laughed proudly when he saw the situation below: "God helps me, God helps me too!"

All the generals and soldiers of the Tang army, who survived the catastrophe at this time, were extremely happy and cheered.

For a moment, the happy shouts from here reached Songtsan Gampo's ears.

Songtsan Gampo and the others were all downcast, their original complacency was gone, everyone looked as if their parents had died, and they slumped on the ground, frustrated.

The flood lasted for a whole day and night before it gradually lost momentum.

Songtsan Gampo didn't prepare anything to eat or drink, so everyone was hungry and weak.

Because Dianwei was fighting guerrillas, he prepared food and drink for several days.

After another day, the flood finally stopped.

"Brothers, the enemy is very weak now, kill!"

Dian Wei had been staring at Songtsan Gampo on another mountain, and when he saw that the water had stopped, he immediately yelled and rushed down first.

Songtsan Gampo's faces turned pale from fright.

Let alone fighting the enemy now, they don't know if they can run even if they run.

There was no way, Songtsan Gampo could only run away in fright, and hurriedly led the army towards Qiongzhou.

Because Dian Wei and others were far away, Songtsan Gampo had already gone a long way when they chased them.

"Dian Wei!"

At this moment, a loud cry came.

Dian Wei was stunned when he heard the voice, and quickly turned his head to look, seeing that it was Ye Chen, his face was overjoyed.

"Lord!"

Dian Wei immediately got off his horse and half-kneeled on the ground to salute.

"Where is Songtsan Gampo?"

Ye Chen asked quickly.

"Run away, just run away! The subordinates are incompetent..."

Dian Wei suddenly looked embarrassed.

"Do not blame you."

Ye Chen shook his head, then glanced at the soldiers behind Dian Wei, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, don't be discouraged when Songtsan Gampo has run away. The decisive battle between us and Songtsan Gampo is about to begin. cheer!"

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head and glanced at Dian Wei: "Get on the horse and prepare to go to Lingchi County to meet Yuan Hong and the others!"

"Yes!"

Dian Wei got the order, got on his horse without saying a word, and chased Ye Chen and the others away.

……

After half a day.

Lingchi County.

Yuan Hong and the others had just dealt with a group of remnants who had been drawn out.

At this moment, the messenger rushed to report.

"Report! General, Generalissimo led an army from the direction of Jiazhou, with a total of 8000 troops!"

"What? The Generalissimo is here?"

Hearing his words, Yuan Hong's face brightened immediately, and he shouted excitedly: "Brothers, the Grand Marshal is here, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, come and follow me to greet him!"

"You don't need to greet me!"

Ye Chen's voice came along the way.

He and fifty heroic female soldiers came ahead on horseback, much faster than Dianwei's large army.

Quickly coming in front of Yuan Hong, he glanced across the battlefield and smiled happily: "Well done!"

"The generalissimo is overwhelmed, it's all because of your tactical arrangements!"

Yuan Hong said with great admiration.

"Okay, now hurry up and gather the troops, enter the city and wait for the brothers in the direction of Yizhou!"

Ye Chen didn't have time to say more, so he ordered immediately.

"Yes!"

As the military orders were issued interspersed in the army, all the troops immediately began to step up the pace of cleaning the battlefield.

Now that Songtsen Gampo has lost 8 horses in one breath, he must have panicked, so he will definitely gather the scattered troops to Qiongzhou.

At this point, the multi-line battle between the two sides will become a thing of the past, and a decisive battle has quietly begun.

As long as the two sides prepare their troops and horses, the final fight will inevitably take place in Qiongzhou.

After entering Longyou County, the army began to prepare for the decisive battle.

Information from all over the country was delivered to Longyou County one after another.

Sure enough, Songtsan Gampo was really gathering troops and gathered in Qiongzhou.

The loss of [-] soldiers and horses was a huge blow to Tubo, and the morale of their army was extremely low.

But Songtsan Gampo still refused to give up.

For him, it is now a dead end. If Li Shimin cannot be forced to marry him, then he can only fight to the death, otherwise there will be no good end in the future.

When a person is pushed into a hurry, it is also a very terrible thing.

People are risking their lives, and the pressure on Ye Chen's side is naturally surprisingly great.

Sitting in the government office of Longyou County, Ye Chen looked at the information sent one after another, none of which was about Zhang Ma and Liu Heizi.

"Is there anything wrong with these two guys?"

Ye Chen's heart couldn't help but sink to the bottom, very worried.

It has been so many days, without getting information from Zhang Ma and the others, Ye Chen has no choice but to bite the bullet and fight Songtsan Gampo.

Yizhou's troops had also arrived at this time, and nearly 5 people gathered here. After counting the casualties, Ye Chen began to arrange tactics.

Because it was a guerrilla attack, the casualties of the troops were not large. Almost half of the people on Songtsan Gampo's side died. The huge gap between the two sides made the soldiers on Ye Chen's side also high in morale and full of confidence!
The current situation is no longer as difficult as 20 against [-]. Now the disparity has been narrowed to [-] against [-].

In this way, even if it is a hard fight, Ye Chen will not be under too much pressure.

If Zhang Ma's side encounters a problem, the sooner Ye Chen's side starts a decisive battle, the better it will be for them.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen immediately called all the generals over, and told them the idea of ​​the battle.

More than a dozen middle and high-level generals with decision-making power expressed their thoughts one after another.

Ye Chen listened one by one.

He didn't want to be really arbitrary, because he had never been here before, and he didn't know the real-time battle situation. These people were fighting face-to-face with the enemy, so listening to their ideas would also be more beneficial to the next tactical deployment.

The officials of the Warlord's Department and the Changshi's Department didn't dare to breathe, and they didn't dare to have any opinions. They just recorded the meeting and sent a copy to Li Shimin when the time came.

The meeting lasted midnight, and finally Ye Chen decided to cross the river and attack!
Crossing the river is very dangerous, because Songtsan Gampo would set up an ambush on the Lujiang River in all likelihood.

And the Lujiang River is a natural barrier blocking Longyou County and Qiongzhou. If there is no way to cross it, the so-called decisive battle will not start.

After all, it is impossible for Songtsan Gampo to take the initiative to fight Ye Chen at this time.
