Night falls.
Although it was already the end of April, due to the high terrain of Luozhe City, strong winds were still howling outside the city at night.
Moreover, the area here is far to the west, and it doesn’t get completely dark until midnight.
A group of tens of thousands of Tibetan soldiers braved the night and quickly approached Luoche City. They were quite familiar with the roads here, so the new army was very fast.
"Everyone, keep up, don't fall behind!"
"Those behind, walk faster. After this battle, I'll treat you to roast lamb."
"Don't lose your weapons, we will attack the Tang army later."
In the marching team, several generals on horseback shouted at the marching infantry from time to time.
Upon hearing that there was meat to eat, the throats of this group of short and sallow-faced Tubo soldiers could not help but rumble.
Although they herd sheep every day and took care of a large number of sheep, they could not eat mutton several times throughout the year.
Because only noble men are qualified to eat these muttons.
Just as they were marching urgently, a group of heavy armored cavalry was slowly following them 20 miles away.
Guo Daquan reined in his horse and returned to Erdan, saying in a low voice: "General Wang, we are about to arrive at Luoxe City. We can let the brothers speed up a little and shorten the distance with the rebels to 5 Just a few miles away."
"When they attack Wang Da's army, we can quickly get to the battlefield."
Guo Daquan knew that Wang Jian had already gone. Arriving at the camp outside Luoche City, the originally relaxed and comfortable mood turned into worries.
After all, there are still nearly 70,000 enemy troops in Luozhe, the imperial city. Together with the more than 20,000 Tibetan reinforcements in front, they add up to nearly 100,000 people.
As for the large Chinese army commanded by Wang Da, there are less than 10,000 capable warriors.
Erdan nodded, and then said to him: "Order, speed up the pace."
"Promise!"
Guo Daquan responded. Under his command, the cavalry team's marching speed increased instantly.
...
Luoche City.
Inside the east gate.
A large group of cavalry wearing armor and holding sharp blades stood quietly and solemnly in front of the city gate.
Behind the cavalry was a group of infantry holding various weapons.
The queue is so long that you can’t even see the end.
The faces of these soldiers were very solemn. They held the weapons in their hands tightly, and everyone was silent and did not speak.
A chilling air rose into the sky.
On the east gate wall.
Songtsen Gampo and Jiayang Pingcuo stood side by side, looking at the wilderness in the distance below the city.
Behind them, a group of generals wearing armor and holding sharp swords stood with solemn expressions.
In the wilderness in the distance.
Suddenly, densely packed torches lit up, and the torches were waved regularly.
Songtsen Gampo jumped up happily and said: "The reinforcements are coming!"
"Huh!" Jiayang Pingcuo also breathed a sigh of relief, and he murmured in a low voice: "It's finally here!"
They had made countless preparations for this moment.
All the warehouses for storing equipment in the palace have been emptied, and all weapons and armor have been distributed.
Moreover, they slaughtered many yaks and sheep to reward these soldiers.
Jiayang Pingcuo said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the time has come for the army to set out to raid the Tang army camp!"
Songtsen Gampo nodded solemnly, Then he turned around, walked to the generals and said.
"Generals, success or failure depends on this!"
"In addition to leaving 10,000 troops to defend the city in this battle, we have sent all 60,000 troops to the city, plus 8 reinforcements. "More than 10,000 people."
"The enemy has less than 10,000 people who can fight. No matter what the cost, we must destroy them."
"Those tens of thousands have physical problems." Don’t let go of the Tang Army!”
After their multi-faceted analysis, they knew that this Tang Army cavalry was an elite team selected by the Tang Dynasty.
As long as this cavalry is destroyed, the combat effectiveness of the other soldiers of the Tang Army will not be afraid.
General Shang Nang stationed at the east gate said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, we have the advantage in this battle, and we will definitely win the final victory!"
"This battle will be won! "
The other generals responded in unison, cupping their fists.
They knew that the Tang army could fight, so no one underestimated the enemy.
But now they have dispatched more than 80,000 troops, but the Tang army has less than 10,000 people who can fight, and this is under the premise of their sneak attack.
If they can't win this, they might as well find a piece of tofu and hit it head on.
Songtsen Gampo waved his hand and said: "Let's go!"
"As you command!"
After saluting, the generals quickly ran down the city.
"Open the city gate!"
This chapter is not finished, click on the next page to continue reading.
A steady low roar sounded, and soon there was the rumble of the iron rope being pulled.
As the gate rose, the cavalry who had been waiting for a long time could no longer hold back.
Led by a tall and mighty general, the group of cavalry immediately started running and quickly rushed towards the Tang Army camp in the distance.
Songtsen Gampo murmured in a low voice as he looked at the soldiers rushing out of the city gate.
"We must win!"
Jiayang Pingcuo walked to his side and said calmly: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, we will win this battle!"
... < /p>
The two armies of Tubo, like two currents, swept towards the Tang army's camp in an instant.
Seeing that the camp was getting closer, but no Tang army came out of the camp.
The cavalry at the front suddenly felt bad, but it was too late for them to turn back, so they had no choice but to rush forward.
"Kill!"
"Kill all the Tang troops!"
The leading soldier raised his weapon and roared.
"Kill!"
The soldiers behind him roared loudly.
The shouts of killing were so loud that even the birds and animals in the mountains were frightened and ran around in the dense forest.
"Stab!"
The leading general slashed the tent in front.
"What!"
"Empty?"
The general saw that there was no one in the tent except for simple beds and quilts. He kept screaming.
At this time, other cavalrymen also rushed over. They waved their weapons and slashed the surrounding camps one by one.
"Empty!"
"All empty!"
The group of cavalry shouted one after another.
The leading general's face suddenly changed: "Oops, I've fallen into a trap!"
At this moment, a rumble suddenly came from outside the camp.
I saw countless heavy armored cavalry rushing towards the Tibetan army from both sides and behind.
Su Dingfang raised his spear high and shouted: "Kill!"
"Kill!"
The elite cavalry of the Tang army roared loudly together.
Boom!
Tang Jun was like a sharp blade cutting into soft tofu.
Wherever they passed, the Tubo soldiers fell one after another.
A group of Tubo generals quickly shouted: "Don't be afraid, the Tang army only has a few thousand people, and we have 80,000 troops, follow our generals to kill!"
Surrounding areas The soldiers gathered towards the generals one after another to deal with the powerful Tang army.
On the other side of the battlefield.
Songtsan Gampo’s mother-in-law tribes were also massacred by Erdan’s troops, and they could not even organize a decent resistance.
I saw people running away everywhere in the wilderness.
"Damn it, why is there such a Tang army behind you!"
"What do the scouts do for food? Such a large army was not discovered?"
They really couldn't understand that there was such an elite cavalry following behind them.
And it’s so close to them!
"Don't run, leave it to me to meet the enemy!"
"Anyone who crosses this line will be killed without mercy!"
Several generals in armor , swung the sword in his hand, and chopped several escaping soldiers in succession.
I thought this would scare the soldiers and make them go back to face the enemy.
But these soldiers were frightened to death by the Tang army, so how could they dare to resist?
"Pfft~"
"Pfft~"
The broadswords in the hands of several generals kept cutting down more than a dozen deserters.
This directly aroused the hatred of the deserters.
Two loud roars suddenly came from the crowd.
"Brothers, get rid of these dog officials!"
"Otherwise, all of us will die here!"
