Datang: Beat Tang Taizong violently at the beginning

Chapter 534 Ending Seventeen.

Although Songtsan Gampo sent soldiers to attack the city, Yangguan is one of the three passes in the northwest. The city defense has been very strong for many years. In addition, the 18 frontier army led by Li Jing can be said to be extremely brave and good at fighting. , guarding a Yangguan is naturally unnatural, there is no big problem, not to mention the special terrain of Yangguan,
Even though Tubo has an army of 30, the maximum number of troops in each attack is only 8. The 18 Tang troops in Yangguan can definitely guard Yangguan. There is no problem in strangling the progress of the Tubo army.

The two sides fought under Yangguan for many days. Songtsen Gampo lost tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but he was still unable to break through the gate of Yangguan. The army is divided into two groups, one way continues to challenge Yangguan, to contain the 30 soldiers in Yangguan, and the other way is to detour into Yangguan, cut off the supply line of Yangguan,
Although the terrain of Yangguan is dangerous, it is only suitable for garrisoning troops. As long as the supply line of food and grass is cut off, it will not be able to hold on for a long time. After all, people are like iron and rice are steel. Yangguan is stationed with 18 troops, and the food and grass that it needs to consume every day There are many.

Moreover, under such a big battle situation every day, the soldiers will not have enough to eat, and even the most elite army may have mutiny. Mobility directly cuts off the supply line of Yangguan. In this way, as long as the 18 people in Yangguan are starved for three to five days, the Tang army will basically lose its combat power. It will be easy to break through Yangguan by then, but As everyone knows, Li Jing is also waiting for this opportunity!

Li Jing is the god of war. Although the transfer of the Tubo army was concealed, how could it be hidden from Li Jing? Li Jing knew what Songtsan Gampo's plan was after thinking about it for a while!

After all, the attack trend of the Tubo army has slowed down a little in the past few days. Although it seems that there is no big difference from the previous few days, Li Jing, who is familiar with military affairs, can naturally see the difference between the opponent's full attack and not full attack!
Therefore, Li Jing divided the 18 soldiers in Yangguan into two waves. The first wave was led by Li Jing, and only 3 soldiers were left to defend the city in Yangguan. The point is that the frequency of attacks by the Tubo army has not been high in the past few days. Although it is hard work for [-] soldiers to guard Yangguan, they can survive if they hold on. What's more, Li Jing is familiar with the art of war.

Deploying troops and dispatching generals is like commanding the arm. In Li Jing's hands, the 15 troops are as flexible as his own ten fingers. Although it is not easy to say, it is not easy to guard Yangguan, but it is definitely not difficult. The other [-] troops Then hand it over to Xue Rengui to lead!
There are many roads to attack the Central Plains by detour from Yangguan, but the purpose of the Tubo army is to attack the grain road of the Yangguan army, so Xue Rengui directly used the plan, let the soldiers pretend to be the grain team, and lured the Tubo army to attack, and Xue Rengui served as reinforcements for the second time Appeared, ready to eliminate this group of cavalry first.

The grain transportation team sent by Xue Rengui encountered the Tubo army at Liangshan Pass. The terrain of Liangshan Pass was narrow and it was the only way to go to Yangguan. Known as the two mountain passes, the terrain of this place is dangerous, and it is really the best place to ambush. However, Tubo didn't know much about the terrain here, so it was directly hit by Xue Rengui's trick of asking the king to enter the urn, and was directly blocked at the two mountain passes by 15 frontier troops.
In the battle between the two armies, the roads of the two mountain passes were rugged, and the grain transport team had to pay great attention in the past. The Tubo cavalry could not give full play to the cavalry advantage in such terrain.
On the contrary, the 15 frontier army commanded by Xue Rengui is familiar with the terrain, and has done drills in advance. To deal with the [-] Turkic cavalry who have been blocked in the two mountain passes, they are closing their doors and beating dogs.
This battle is called the Battle of Two Mountain Passes. Xue Rengui defeated Songtsan Gampo's 15 Tubo cavalry with [-] Tang troops and beheaded more than half of them. However, after this battle, Songtsan Gampo no longer dared to detour to block the Tang army's grain road.

The Battle of Liangshankou ended, and the Tubo army suffered heavy losses. On the contrary, the 18 frontier army led by Li Jing had almost no losses. In this way, the West Route Army won its first victory, and it also inspired the Tang army.

In this way, among the three armies, the West Route Army and the East Army won two victories in the Mountain Pass and Phoenix City respectively!

At present, there is only the Northern Route Army led by Qin Wang Li Shimin, and there is no news for a while!
The number of North Route Army led by Li Shimin is nearly 30, which is not much different from the 35 Turkic army. He also brought two great generals, Qin Qiong, Wei Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and many other generals, to follow along the way.
Logically speaking, the battle in northern Xinjiang should be relatively easy among the three-way wars, because the number of armies of both the West Route Army and the East Route Army is different from that of Tubo and Goguryeo, but the number of North Route Army led by Li Shimin almost tens of thousands of people
35 vs. 30, the numbers are almost equal, and they definitely have the strength to meet head-on, and Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong are Li Shimin's veterans, plus there are [-] black-armored troops, Li Shimin's configuration can definitely be said to be three-way The tallest in the army, but this road is also the worst defeat.

The West Route Army and the East Route Army achieved the Great Victory at Liangshan Pass and the Great Victory at Phoenix City respectively. Although they had not repelled Tubo and Goguryeo, they had already displayed the prestige of the Tang Army. The 35-strong army met, but they have been in a state of anxiety, and it is difficult to have a chance of winning.

In this battle, the Turkic Jieli Khan fought in person. The most important point is that Jieli Khan had four generals under his command, and it is said that Jieli Khan himself was the number one warrior of the Turks. That is to say, Jieli Khan It is also a divine general, and the five great generals joined forces, but Tang Jun only has two divine generals, Qin Qiong and Yu Chigong.

In this way, the Tang army will be directly at a disadvantage in the confrontation between the gods and generals, and although Yumen Pass is one of the three frontier defense passes, before that, Yumen Pass has been guarded by Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong. The terrain can be said to be very familiar, and after the rebellion against the Tang Dynasty, Li Jiancheng secretly ordered Li Daozong and Li Xiaogong to completely destroy Yumen Pass. After Li Shimin came to Yumen Pass, Yumen Pass was already a beacon of fire. Although it was rebuilt and repaired for a short time, but The defensive power of Yumen Pass is definitely not as strong as that of Yangguan and Yanmen Pass, not to mention that what Li Shimin is facing is the most ferocious Turks among the northern countries.
