The frequent movements of the Tang army instantly stimulated the Tibetan defenders stationed in Malkang.
Originally there were 100,000 troops stationed in Malkang, but the court deployed 50,000 troops to deal with the Yangtong tribe and the old Supi noble rebels.
Currently, there are only 50,000 troops and horses stationed in Malkang.
What frightened them the most was that Malkang's city was very low and surrounded by flat terrain, making it difficult to defend the Tang army from attacking the city.
In the simple city lord's palace of Malkang.
The commander-in-chief of the Tubo garrison ordered: "Come here, tell the king quickly that the Tang army has crossed the border, and ask the king to send more reinforcements."
"Tell the king "We don't have enough soldiers now, and we can only last for two months at most."
The soldiers responsible for delivering the order quickly left with the commander's handwriting.
...
The Imperial City of Tubo.
Luoche City.
In the splendid palace, due to the bad weather today, the light inside became a little dim.
In the center of the palace, a young scout reported respectfully.
"Your Majesty, several rebels crossed the defense line and crossed the Kunlun Mountains two days ago."
"According to speculation, the rebels should go to Tuyuhun. The Tang army inside is asking for help!"
What this scout didn't know was that he was the only one to escape.
After hearing what the scout said, Songtsen Gampo said coldly: "Humph, these rebels are really damned, they actually led a wolf into the house!"
"For these people who betrayed the national interests , we must not let go, we must annihilate them all!"
"To avoid future troubles!"
When he said the last few words, Songtsen Gampo gritted his teeth! Said.
After the reinforcements from the imperial army, the battle against the rebels was instantly at an advantage.
The casualties on both sides were close to one to one, but the imperial army had sufficient personnel to supplement the army.
As for these groups of rebels, they have already recruited all the soldiers they can recruit. It is basically difficult for them to recruit more soldiers in their own territory.
The faces of all the civil and military ministers also showed relaxed expressions.
According to the progress of the battle, the rebels can be wiped out in two days.
As long as the internal troubles are resolved, they can mobilize all their forces to deal with the powerful Tang army.
Jiayang Pingcuo frowned and stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Tang army in Tuyuhun is extremely powerful and must be guarded against."
"The veteran suggested that we should Deploy another 50,000 soldiers and horses to garrison."
"Once they cross the natural barrier of Kunlun Mountain, they will be able to drive straight into the hinterland of Tubo."
"They are tens of thousands of cavalry. ,Most of us are infantry and cannot catch up with them. "
After hearing Jiayang Pingcuo's words, a military general stood up and said.
"We have 10,000 troops stationed at an important pass in the south of Kunlun Mountain. If the Tang army wants to come, that's it. Very difficult. "
"The steep mountains are different from the plains, and the Tang Army's cavalry cannot take advantage of them. "
The other generals also looked relaxed and comfortable.
If it were not for the Kunlun Mountains, the land of Tuyuhun would have been captured by them long ago.
Songtsan Gampo also had a careless smile on his face, because in his understanding, Kunlun Mountain was a natural line of defense.
Just when they were triumphant, they were guarding the palace. The soldiers at the door ran in to report.
"Your Majesty, someone from Malkang has returned!" "
After hearing the news that it was Malkang, Songtsen Gampo sat up straight and shouted in a somewhat anxious tone.
"Ask him to come in quickly! "
"It's the king! "
After the guards saluted, they quickly left the hall.
Not long after, a dark-skinned middle-aged soldier rushed in with a staggering step.
This chapter is not finished. , click on the next page to continue reading.
He knelt on one knee and said: "Your Majesty, the Tang army stationed at the border began to cross the border and move toward Malkang. "
"General Lalu Kemo said that without reinforcements, we can hold on for up to two months. "
"Please also ask your Majesty to dispatch soldiers to support! ”
The individual combat effectiveness of the Tang army is very strong. It often takes several people to defeat one Tang army. Therefore, when they are at a numerical disadvantage, it is normal for them not to be confident in winning the battle.
< p> After all, the Tang army was far better than them in terms of weapons and armor.Moreover, most of the Tang army were taller and stronger than them, and they rode tall horses, which made them even more difficult to resist. .
The smile on Songtsen Gampo's face was completely frozen.
Even the loud ministers did not dare to do so this time. Talk.
The Tang army is going to attack them!
This is a very dangerous signal, and the situation will change drastically.
Jiayang Pingcuo asked in a deep voice: "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake in your judgment? The Tang army stationed in Maozhou has crossed the border and is approaching Malkang? "
The soldier who delivered the order said softly and with a serious face: "Everything I said is true. This is the handwriting of General Lalu Kemo. "
As he spoke, the soldier presented the manuscript with Lalu's ink seal to Songtsan Gampo.
Looking at the contents of the manuscript, Songtsan Gampo's expressionHe was so frightened that he turned pale.
The Tang army began to participate in the war, and the situation on the battlefield was different from before.
"You should also take a look."
As he said this, Songtsan Gampo passed the handwriting to the minister of civil and military affairs.
After the cup of tea.
The eyes of Songtsen Gampo and all the civil and military ministers were all focused on the think tank Jiayang Pingcuo.
The reason why Tibet was able to deal with the rebels and regain power in the hands of Songtsen Gampo was due to the super wisdom of Jiayang Pingcuo.
Feeling everyone’s gaze, Jiayang Pingcuo’s kind face revealed a sinister smile.
"Your Majesty, since we have already broken our skin, there is nothing to say."
"Immediately issue an order to raise an army across the country to fight the Tang army to the death!"
Jia Yang Pingcuo's suggestion was instantly approved by all the civil and military ministers.
They raised their arms and shouted loudly.
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
The atmosphere this time was completely different from the previous times. no the same.
There was no fear on everyone's face, only a strong will to fight.
Songtsan Gampo's face also regained some calmness. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then we will fight to the death with the Tang army!"
...
At the same time Songtsen Gampo decided to recruit troops nationwide.
The 60,000 infantry soldiers commanded by Yu Chigong and Zhang Shigui began to attack Malkang.
In Zhongjunli.
Yuchi Gong asked in a deep voice: "How long until the cavalry led by Su Dingfang and others arrive?"
Zhang Shiguihui, who was beside him, reported: "Half an hour ago, they We have rested five miles outside the city."
"When we attract all the defenders in Malkang City to the east city gate, Su Dingfang and the others will attack from the west city gate and catch the Malkang defenders by surprise!"
The Tubo defenders in Malconne have completely ignored Su Dingfang's troops who are speeding over.
Therefore, they placed their main force at the East Gate to resist the Tang army.
If they were more careful, they would have discovered that the Tang army was just beating the drums and did not attack the city with all its strength.
