Songtsan Gampo led a group of generals out slowly, Hou Junji went up to meet him alone.

"It seems that Datang is stubborn and not ready to hand over the murderer to marry the princess?" Songtsan Gampo said calmly looking at Hou Junji.

Hou Junji was not polite, and he was determined to keep the 20 Tubo army, so he didn't care about these unintentional gossip, "There are only damned thieves from Tubo here, and there are no princesses who married out of the Tang Dynasty. Give you a ride!

I will give you a quarter of an hour to assemble the army and prepare to die! "

After finishing speaking, Hou Junji reined in his horse and turned around, walked back to his own army formation, and at the same time dispatched troops and generals, all the generals also returned to the front of their own troops, and began to direct the attack.

Songtsan Gampo gritted his teeth, feeling great hatred in his heart, did not expect Datang to be so arrogant and unreasonable?

What he regrets the most now is that he didn't take advantage of the time when the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty were not available to capture the entire Jiannan Road, which would at least make him a fortune. With Chang'an's diplomatic mediation.

In fact, it is not easy for him to take down Jiannan Road completely. At least the [-] army in the main city of Yizhou can hold back Tubo for a while.

"Tibetan warriors, avenge the Prime Minister!" Songtsan Gambo did not wait for the Tang Dynasty to attack in due time, but directly raised his sword and shouted.

After hearing this slogan, all the Tubo soldiers raised their weapons to avenge the Prime Minister!

In their view, the Tang Dynasty massacred the prime minister of Tubo for no reason, and our 20 troops came to seek justice. So Songtsan Gampo saw this point and used it to boost morale.

In the same way, Hou Jun gathered the long sword at his waist and said, "Avenge the people of Jiannan Road!"

The drums of the Tang Dynasty were beating, and everyone rushed forward excitedly. The tragic song of blood and fire, the collision of swords and flesh, without fancy skills or conspiracy, the two armies totaled nearly 30, and they collided like this .

Hou Junji stood firmly on the commanding platform of the Chinese army, and all the armies were handed over to the leading generals. Which armies restrained which armies, which armies were in which positions, had been arranged in advance, and all the generals were also veterans of the battle formation. Yes, so very skillful.

The Tubo side is not bad except for the lack of armor and armor and the overall physical fitness of the soldiers. The 20 are also veterans of Tubo who have been fighting all the year round. Unified Tubo ruled the southwest, so the combat effectiveness of this army must not be ignored.

At the same time, the [-] troops led by Niu Jinda finally sneaked into the back of the Tubo army, and came to the border between Datang and Tubo. This is the widest official road between the two countries.

But when they came here, Niu Jinda and the others saw a scene that made people rage, good guy, Tubo actually set up a camp here, and used it as a transfer of materials, not to deliver food to their front line, but to use it specially It can be said that Tubo lacks everything when transshipping the goods looted from the Tang Dynasty, so there is everything here. At least a group of Tubo peasants come to transport hundreds of carts of property every day.

It may be that the pressure of transshipment is also very high, so a lot of goods have been hoarded in the camp and it is too late to transport them away.

"General Qi, the scouts found out that there are 20 Tubo troops stationed here to guard the property, and at the same time, 20 Tubo scattered teams are constantly looting and transporting property here. It is said that Tubo has been doing this for more than 2 days. The 3 troops are robbing together, and now General Hou should hold back the opponent's forces, so only [-] people are left to guard and [-] people to search." The deputy general reported the enemy's situation respectfully.

Niu Jinda's hand holding the knife was creaking, this gang of scourges, these are bandits and bandits!

"Pass the order, the army will come out, follow me into the enemy camp, and destroy this group of enemies who robbed us!"

Niu Jinda ordered loudly, drew his waist knife and rushed towards the opposite camp first. Thirty thousand soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were infected by the breath of the general, ignoring the exhaustion of running around for days, and rushed forward with roars.

But the Tubo group who had been steadily guarding the property transfer station were stunned, shouting for killing?Hooves?Where did it come from?This movement is not small, could it be that which team won Dafeng this time and took it back?

But in the next second, the guards in front of the camp had already started to warn, and the sound of the trombone spread throughout the camp. Now everyone knew that the enemy had come, but where did it come from?Isn't the enemy confronting Zamp ahead to negotiate terms?

Half an hour, just half an hour, the transfer station established by Tubo on the border was completely taken down. It wasn't that the Tubo soldiers were incapable of defending, but they were caught off guard. No one expected that the Tang Qibing stood out and killed them to the rear. .

About [-] of the [-] Tubo camp guards were killed in the chaos, and the others fled directly. They were chased by the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty for [-] miles. In the end, only a small number of defeated soldiers survived. The camp changed hands in a blink of an eye. up.

According to Du He's suggestion, the Datang army stationed here without changing the banner, might be able to lure many convoys who continued to search in the Tang Dynasty to come and die. If the members of the Dao gather together and kill them again, then this mission of beating dogs behind closed doors may not be fun.

On the Yazhou battlefield, the battle lasted for an entire afternoon. The entire battlefield outside Yazhou city almost became a Shura field, with blood flowing into rivers, stumps and limbs all over the ground. In the end, the army of the Tang Dynasty was more tenacious, and the Tubo army could not stand it anymore. , a little bit began to collapse.

Songtsan Gampo saw that his own soldiers on the battlefield suffered a lot due to the problem of armaments and armour, and the battle losses continued to rise. Sometimes two people may not be able to exchange for Datang alone. The canthus of the main eye is about to split.

He also finally understood the painstaking efforts of Prime Minister Lu Dongzan. If he could not obtain the same ordnance technology as Datang, Tubo would never have the same military strength as Datang, so he could only stay in the wild land of the Southwest forever. .

"Pass down the order and retreat completely!" Knowing that he was defeated, Songtsan Gampo no longer hesitated and asked Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. If he waited for the victory on the battlefield to be killed by the Tang Dynasty and the whole army was defeated, it would really be over.

But even so, Tubo has lost nearly 4 people in this war. Songtsan Gampo's military order to withdraw troops seems to have little effect. The two sides are already entangled, and Datang has no intention of stopping.

"Zanpu, let's retreat, we must retreat first, and then delay, once the front line is broken through, I'm afraid this place will be in danger." General Tubo's personal guard suggested.

Gritting his teeth, Songtsan Gampo hesitated and nodded, "Withdraw!"

Chapter 196

Hou Junji saw that the opponent wanted to abandon the city and flee. How could this be done? He ordered the flag to move again, and the whole army chased after them for thirty miles. After a hearty battle, more than [-] people died in Tubo However, Songtsan Gampo threw away his armor and fled in a hurry.

The Tang side also suffered a big loss, with a battle loss of about [-]. It can be said that this is the effect of the generals who have exerted their front-line command to the limit. After all, there is a difference of [-] troops between the two sides.

"General, let the last general lead the people to continue the pursuit, and we can't let them run away. If these [-] routs escape to the border, General Niu Jinda's [-] army may not be able to stop it!" General Ashnadur begged for orders .

This man was a descendant of the Eastern Turks back then. He had been loyal to the Tang Dynasty for many years, and he was famous for his bravery in battle. Emperor Li Er also betrothed his sister to him, which shows that he can be reused.

Hou Junji said calmly: "Yes, General Duer can lead five thousand cavalry to chase after him, but don't force them too much. Just follow them and don't let them have a chance to breathe. I will immediately order the army to repair on the spot. Tomorrow In the morning, we will change people to meet you."

"Order!"

The generals convinced Hou Junji that this was to make the enemy have no time to rest, and Datang had one night to recharge their batteries.

In the frontier camp, Niu Jinda studied the map over and over again, frowning tightly. The scouts had spread out for a radius of [-] miles, because most of the land here was mountainous, so the traffic was very inconvenient.

"It's been several days, counting the days, the second batch of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty will have arrived long ago. Could it be that the general didn't attack? Or is there a rebound in the battle ahead? Why haven't we seen the fleeing enemy army yet?" Niu Jinda murmured.

At this time, only Du He was guarding the camp as the commander in the army, and the other generals had their own defenses, including Du Shaoqing, who were busy preparing for the battle and medical issues every day, and Du He was the only idler.

"If there are no accidents, it should be a couple of days. Although the Tubo army is large, it is rootless. It is impossible to defeat General Hou. I am afraid that the opponent will flee too much at once. Our [-] soldiers and horses are not enough. It's tight." Du He said worriedly.

Niu Jinda raised his head and looked at the taciturn boy, and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Do you think you are your father Du Keming? You have the ability to predict the enemy like a god? Although I don't know why General Hou must leave you.

But I have heard about your reputation and things in Chang'an. The prodigal son has turned back?Want to get your honor back in the military?Look at your own weight, is it material for being a soldier?Have you ever killed someone? "

This kind of cynicism and ridicule of Du He is no surprise, his heart is like a stagnant pool of stagnant water, because he knows that he is not here to make meritorious deeds, but to help his brother Du Shaoqing.

Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Niu Jinda didn't want to continue to bully the younger generation. He lowered his head and began to study the map again. Du He also got up and went out of the big tent to look in the distance. There was still no enemy in the farthest line of sight. Niu Jinda adopted the strategy, and it was indeed rewarding, but it was only the first few days, and no one was fooled in these two days, and the news would definitely reach Songtsan Gampo's ears.

Turning around, he came to Du Shaoqing's [-]-person soldier camp, which was specially approved by the army to be owned by Du Shaoqing. He was borrowed by Du He to train himself. It's good to have something to do, so I let him toss about it.

At the beginning, these veterans were not convinced by a yellow-haired boy who used himself to train soldiers?Did he kill a chicken?But half a day later, everyone obeyed Du He, because this young man actually knew the art of war, and taught everyone an effective team offensive and defensive formation, which is more effective than the traditional three-man defense or two-man defense .

At this moment, a whistle came from the gate of the camp. It was the scouts who had gone out and came back, calling for the enemy from a distance!

Like a stone breaking the tranquility of the water, the camp became commotion.

Niu Jinda's heart skipped a beat, Du He really hit the spot, the scouts came to report that the enemy army was already fifty miles away, and they were all routs, numbering no less than one hundred thousand!

Um?One hundred thousand?what happened?Is General Hou unfavorable in the battle? An army of 15 participated in a bloody battle, yet still 3 were left alive and fled?In this way, the [-] people who are closed, don't they all have to use their lives to fill them?

He didn't know that Songtsan Gampo's original [-] rout troops had already left [-] after the relentless pursuit of the Tang army, and the extra [-] were gathered by the scattered search teams from Jiannan Road.

Although these people reported to Songtsen Gampo that there was an ambush by the Tang people ahead and the way home was cut off, but the more than [-] people from the Tang Dynasty were also clenching tightly. run forward.

"Warriors, break through the Tang Army camp ahead, and we can go home, don't die in a foreign country!" Songtsan Gampo shouted, and the broken soldiers behind him seemed to see the direction of hope, and all of them turned red. rush forward.

When Niu Jinda saw it, he immediately ordered a [-]-strong team to kill and disperse the rout!
