Yu Chigong is a resolute person, he said decisively.
"General Su, since you have no objection, let's break out of the stronghold without further delay!"
These cities are hundreds of miles away from Malkang. For Su Dingfang, For the cavalry, it was nothing.
But for his general's 60,000 infantry-based troops, it would take many days for them to walk hundreds of miles.
When a large army is dispatched, it is not only as simple as moving around people, but also carrying a large amount of food and grass.
Su Dingfang clasped his fists respectfully and said: "General Yuchi, I wish you victory!"
Yuchi Gong warned with concern: "You must also be extremely careful, and the imperial city will be more careful. The garrison strength of the city and Qamdo City is twice that of the other two cities."
"And the two core cities are also in the hinterland of Tubo, and they are surrounded by enemies."
Hearing Yu Chigong’s careful instructions, Su Dingfang’s face showed some gratitude.
"Thank you, General Yuchi, for reminding me!"
The two cheered each other up, then summoned their generals and gave orders for the upcoming battle.
Su Dingfang led two armies, Xue Rengui and Xu Hu, totaling more than 30,000 people, and went directly to attack Luoche City, the imperial city.
Erdan and Xi Junmai commanded more than 10,000 men under their command to attack Qamdo City, which had relatively few defenders.
After the combat mission was issued, groups of cavalry rushed out from the west gate of Malkang.
Speeding directly towards the hinterland of Tubo.
Not long after, Yuchi Gong and Zhang Shigui also led their infantry and walked toward the target city in a mighty manner.
...
The Imperial City of Tubo.
Luoche City.
In the splendid palace.
The atmosphere that had been suppressed for many days finally became relaxed today.
Jiayang Pingcuo congratulated Songtsen Gampo: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, we have successfully annihilated the two groups of rebels, the Yangtong tribe and the Supi old nobles."
"Now we just need to bring back the army and devote ourselves to dealing with the Tang army!"
In order to exterminate these two groups of rebels, they invested nearly 160,000 soldiers.
In the end, the two groups of rebels were wiped out at the cost of 110,000 casualties.
However, the clans of Songtsen Gampo's mother and queen still rebelled against the old ministers. After they saw that the other two groups of rebels were wiped out, they had no guts and surrendered to the court again.
In this rebellion, they did not cause any losses to the imperial army, so Songtsen Gampo also forgave them.
Songtsen Gampo said with a relaxed expression: "Jiayang Pingcuo, thanks to your advice, otherwise our Tubo would be really in danger."
"Fortunately, the internal troubles have been resolved now, and we only need to use all our strength to deal with the Tang army."
Although the rebels suffered heavy losses during the encirclement and suppression, they captured a large number of sharp weapons from the rebels , and thousands of armors.
When new soldiers are recruited and the weapons and armor are fired, the soldiers' combat effectiveness will definitely increase sharply.
You must know that the two groups of rebels, the Yangtong tribe and the Supi old nobles, originally had extremely poor combat effectiveness. Later, it was only because of the support of these weapons from the Tang army that their combat effectiveness was greatly improved.
A middle-aged military general stood up and said: "Your Majesty, should we continue to recruit soldiers now?"
"New soldiers need to be trained for a period of time before they can form a certain combat effectiveness." < /p>
The new recruits recruited now are not taught combat skills, but taught to recognize flags and become familiar with military formations.
Because the army was fighting, they could only fight forward with weapons, without much skill.
Tens of thousands of people cannot be heard by shouting in battle. They can only rely on flags to convey orders. If the flags cannot be understood, the formation will become a mess.
As for the military formation, it is equally important. After all, the battles and battles between the two armies are different. Individual bravery is very small and depends on the strength displayed by the collective.
Songtsen Gampo smiled and said: "You can give the order!"

"Now that the window paper has been pierced, Tang Jun also knows what we are doing, and there is no need to continue to hide it."
At this point, Songtsen Gampo suddenly Thinking of the soldiers stationed in Malconne, no news has been sent back for a long time.
He turned his head and asked Jiayang Pingcuo: "Lalu Kemo, who is stationed in Markang City, has no news been sent back in the past ten days?"
Last time When Lalu Kemo sent people back to ask for support, Songtsen Gampo did not immediately send a large army to them in order to solve the internal troubles.
According to Lalu Kemo, they can roughly resist the Tang army's attack for two months.
Therefore, Songtsen Gampo also felt relieved and transferred all the new soldiers to the west and north to deal with the two groups of rebels from the Yangtong tribe and the Supi old nobles.
Jiayang Pingcuo said with an ugly face: "Reporting to the king, I have not received any letter from General Lalu Kemo."
What!
It has been so long and I have not received any news from Lalu Kemo!
All the civil and military ministers in the hall had a bad feeling on their faces.
Ten days ago, Lalu Kemo sent someone to ask for help, saying that the Tang army had begun to approach Malkang City.
Is it possible that Malcom has been defeated?
But there are still 50,000 defenders in the city. It is impossible for the Tang army to massacre all the soldiers.?
But now no fish has escaped, and this result is very intriguing.
Songtsan Gampo said with a solemn face: "Send someone to Malkang immediately to inquire about the news and find out what is going on!"
"At the same time, issue an edict immediately , Recruiting troops in Tubo territory! ”
If they want to deal with the Tang army, they are no match for them with their current troops.
As soon as Songtsen Gampo finished speaking, someone suddenly rushed in from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is in trouble!"
Seeing that the person coming was a guard on duty, Jiayang Pingcuo said coldly with a displeased face.
"Didn't you see that we were discussing something?"
"What's the point of being noisy?"
Although the guard was severely scolded by Jiayang Pingcuo, But he can't control that much anymore.
He knelt down and saluted Songtsen Gampo and said: "Your Majesty, Tang... The Tang army has surrounded our city of Luoxu!"
What!
Upon hearing this horrific news, everyone in the hall stood up in disbelief.
Songtsen Gampo cried out: "What's going on? How could the Tang army come here quietly!"
"Did all the defenders along the way betray the imperial court? "
The imperial city of Luoche is located in the center of the south of Tubo, thousands of miles away from the Tang army's territory.
Moreover, there are not only various defenders along the way, but also the mountains are high and the roads are steep, making it extremely difficult to walk.
Could it be that Tang Jun had a pair of wings on his body and flew here?
Jiayang Pingcuo asked in a deep voice: "How many people from the Tang army are coming?"
The guard quickly replied: "About tens of thousands of people!"
This...
There are currently less than 20,000 defenders in Luoxue City, and nearly half of them are new soldiers. How can it be defended?
Jiayang Pingcuo also said with a panic tone: "Your Majesty, please issue an edict to mobilize the people in the city to defend, otherwise the city gate will be breached soon!"
Songtsen Gampo was so frightened that he lost his mind.
He threw the seal directly to Jiayang Pingcuo and said in a trembling voice: "Jiayang Pingcuo, everything that follows will be under your full command!"
