- Chapter 51 The Death of the Tubo Military God
Because of Songtsen Gampo¡¯s decision, Luoxue City did not support it for long.
The Chinese nation, since ancient times, has occupied a decisive position in tackling difficulties. Just like the riding and archery of the grassland peoples, attacking tough battles is a skill that all soldiers and generals in the Central Plains must master. Tubo did not have any decent fortified cities. It rarely encountered fortified battles during battles and had limited training in offensive and defensive battles. Even if you have a fortified city in hand, if you don't know how to defend it, it's all in vain.
Not to mention the 5,000 defenders, against Luo Tong's 20,000 soldiers and Zhang Liang's 50,000 army.
With the strength of the Tang army, if 70,000 people fight 5,000 people, how can they be invincible?
It only took one night for Luoxe City to be under the control of the Tang Army.
On the other side, Du He led the army and drove straight in, approaching the Qinling tribe of Tubo. As the Tibetan god of war, the combat effectiveness of the Qinling tribe is no less than that of Songtsen Gampo's main force, and Qinling is both civil and military. Historically, he was a figure like Zhang Juzheng of the Ming Dynasty. He influenced Tubo's military and political affairs and not only led the army twice The Tang army was defeated, and Tubo's governance was once comparable to that of the Tang Dynasty, becoming another empire. Of course, he is still a little young now, but he has gradually become an indispensable arm of Songtsen Gampo. When he takes shape, it will be a terrible thing.
Therefore, Du He chose to meet the Tibetan God of War in person to see if he was worthy of his name or in vain.
In this battle, Du He did not play any tricks, nor did he intend to use any tactics. Just because our side has the absolute advantage, there is no need to play tricks. The strategy he decided from the beginning included a quick victory.
When a large group of Tang troops appeared in the rear of the Tubo army, there was an uproar in the Tubo military camp, and they were completely unprepared.
Du He laughed dumbly, feeling that he had overestimated Qin Ling's strength. He never expected that Tubo would be so vulnerable.
"Take advantage of his illness to kill him."
Du Heling waved his flag and sent Xi Junmai's selected vanguard troops directly. Since the Xuanfeng Army became Du He's subordinate, it has always been one of the ace armies, always tasked with delivering a fatal blow to the enemy. In Du He's words, they are like short and sharp blades. As long as the opponent shows a flaw, this blade will cause immeasurable damage to the opponent.
And now Du He has directly dispatched the Selection Army, which shows how full of flaws Tubo is at this moment.
Choose the vanguard army as the front, Niu Jinda and Xin Zhuer as the left and right wings respectively, and attack the Tibetan army in a three-way flank.
The situation of the battle does not need to be calculated at all. Facing the Tang army's offensive, the Tubo army could only make some slight resistance based on its own ability, and there was no reasonable and effective counterattack at all.
The entire battle situation is completely one-sided
Du He felt something was wrong. He could see that this group of Tubo troops was not weak. In terms of individual soldier quality, they were not inferior to the Tang army. They were considered strong soldiers. But the strange thing is that their counterattack is not organized, and most of them fight independently, lacking effective command, as if they have lost their backbone.
¡°Perhaps Qin Ling¡¯s reputation is a bit wasted, but he is definitely not a fool. Otherwise, it would be impossible to leave a prestigious name in history, let alone defeat a general like Xue Rengui, and it is impossible not to be able to mount an effective counterattack.
Du He looked at the battlefield carefully, his expression was startled, and he found that the Tibetan army was missing thousands of people.
??According to the information from Tš¹yueliuxiang, the Qinling tribe has a full force of 20,000 people, but now there are only a little more than 10,000 soldiers in the Tubo military camp, not less than 20,000 at all
Recalling the previous Tubo camp, Du He suddenly understood. No wonder the Tubo military camp was full of flaws. It turned out that more than 10,000 people were used instead of 20,000 people. A military camp that was saturated with 20,000 people, and was filled with 10,000 people, naturally seemed empty and full of flaws.
This is a suspicious strategy.
Qin Ling is not in the military camp at all
"Did he prepare the equipment in advance and deliberately lure our troops?"
"No, that's not right"
The thoughts in Du He's mind were spinning and he rejected his idea. Even if Qin Ling deliberately plotted against him, he couldn't use more than 10,000 troops as bait. How many soldiers and horses does he have to dare to play like this?
"Could it be"
Du He had a thought in his mind. An idea came to mind, and he said in a deep voice: "The whole army is pressing forward, and we will fight quickly."
Facing more than three times the Tang army, the Tubo army, which was already too empty to be built, found it even more difficult to hold on.
In less than half an hour, the Tubo army was completely defeated by Du He.
Du He found some generals and soldiers and asked them about the whereabouts of Qin Ling.
Without strict training, not everyone has Liu ?Such integrity as Lan. It didn't take long before the interrogation came up with the questions he wanted to know.
On the night of twenty days ago, Qin Ling disappeared with eight thousand soldiers and horses. As for where he went, no one knew.
Du He asked Niu Jinda to take over the Tubo camp, and asked Xin Zhuer to deal with the Tibetan prisoners. He took more than a hundred cavalry and went straight to Pingdu Mountain Pass, where he showed his identity.
After Yaochi personally confirmed Du He, the three armies held a grand welcoming ceremony.
"Yaochi has seen the chief manager"
An envoy from the Celestial Dynasty is equivalent to the king of the country below. Although Du He is not an envoy, his status is equivalent to that of the king of Xiangxiang Kingdom, and his status is one level higher than that of Yaochi.
Du He was careful about the Qinling Mausoleum and was not constrained by etiquette. He dismounted and came closer and said: "Princess, there is no need to be polite, it is important. I would like to ask, has there been any unusual movement in Tubo recently?"
Yaochi also knew something about Du He's character, and knew that there must be a reason for him to ask like this, so he immediately said: "There seems to be nothing abnormal, the only abnormality is that he is too quiet. That Qinling is much more difficult to deal with than Songtsan Xiruo, he As soon as he arrived here, he kept using conspiracies. Once, he even set fire to his own barracks and pretended that your Tang army was coming to attack. I almost planned to go to war and cooperate with you inside and outside. Finally, I thought of the reminder and endured it. Come down. Fortunately, otherwise I, Yaochi, would have become a sinner of the Xiangxiong Kingdom. I heard that there were shouts from the Tubo camp before, so I thought it was them repeating their old tricks. I have felt much more at ease in the past half month. , I¡¯m not doing anything weird anymore.¡±
"Most of the month" Du He counted the time with a moved expression.
"What's wrong?" Yaochi didn't know the reason and was confused.
Du He said solemnly: "When I broke into the Tubo military camp just now, Qin Ling was not in the military camp at all. He disappeared with about 8,000 soldiers and horses According to the information from the torture, they left twenty days ago. , which coincides with your half moon. I guess he has tried every means to lure you out and has given up. But in order not to sit still and wait for death, he plans to take risks. "
Yaochi couldn't understand what Du He was talking about.
But Xi Junmai, who was behind Du He, heard it and asked suspiciously: "The chief manager is saying that Qin Ling is following Deng Ai's example to destroy Shu?"
Du He nodded solemnly and said: "That's it. Qin Ling is a sensible person. He can understand how important it is to destroy the Xiangxiong Kingdom to the Tubo army. It is not surprising that he chooses to take the risk. Although there is no second choice except Pingdu Pass. There are roads that can lead to the interior of Sang Shung Kingdom, but don't forget that there are no roads in the world. The more people travel, the more roads will appear. With more than 8,000 people, time permits, it may not be impossible to open a road. "
Yaochi¡¯s expression changed drastically, and he whispered: ¡°Then isn¡¯t my father very dangerous?¡±
Thinking about it, Yaochi immediately ordered some troops of his generals to rush to Qionglong Yincheng, the capital of Xiangxiong, to prevent any unexpected events.
When Du He's Tang soldiers arrived, Pingdu Mountain Pass was no longer worried about the lack of troops.
slow¡¡
It¡¯s always slow.
Yaochi's reinforcements received news before they arrived at Qionglong Yin City. Qin Ling had already broken through Qionglong Yin City, occupied the royal city, and captured King Xiangxiong alive.
When the news reached Pingdu Mountain Pass, Yaochi was like a bolt from the blue, and everyone was stunned. She believed in Du He's judgment, but she didn't think Qin Ling could succeed because people couldn't compete with the miracles created by nature. However, the facts prove that man can defeat God.
Qinling did this.
Du He on the side also secretly praised: "This Qinling Mausoleum is indeed worthy of the name of the Tubo Army God"
There is no god in the world, but some people are called gods because they have done things that ordinary people cannot do
"What a pity" Du He shook his head and regretted that such an outstanding general was defeated by fate.
Du He put his hand on Yaochi's shoulder and said with a calm smile: "Leave it to me, I will rescue your father intact."
Yaochi felt relieved. The hand on his shoulder was not big, but it was very powerful. It made people feel so at ease in their hearts, as if they could rely on him for all big things. If there weren't people around, I would really want to hold him tightly and not think about anything.
Soon Qinling¡¯s letter persuading him to surrender reached Pingdu Mountain Pass.
Du He asked Yaochi to ignore it, and together with him, he led 20,000 Tang troops and rushed to Qionglong Silver City.
When we arrived at Qionglong Silver City, the four gates of the city were wide open and there were no defenders at all.
Du He understood that this was the news that the opponent could not produce any extra troops. Qinling's troops could only control the entire palace and occupy the palace to force Yaochi to surrender. This was his purpose.
The army reaches the kingAt the gate, Du He told the excited Yaochi not to come forward. He rode alone to the gate of the palace and said loudly: "Qin Ling, do you remember me?" Du He and Qin Ling had a relationship. That was three or four years ago, when the Braves competed.
"You, you" A voice of exclamation came from Miyagi, and the voice was full of horror and disbelief.
Du He had forgotten Qin Ling's voice, but it was not difficult to guess that the other party was Qin Ling. He smiled and said: "Yes, it's me, Du He. You lost, Songtsen Gampo also lost. Our army has now broken through." Logic. I also asked you to remove the camp you left outside Pingdu Mountain Pass. Stop making the final struggle and give up It will be good for you and the soldiers around you."
There was silence in the palace for a long time.
Qin Ling smiled miserably, nodded and said: "Yes, I lost, please be kind to my soldiers, they are innocent"
Then a figure rushed down from the palace city. It was Qinling, the Tubo God of War who had just completed his feat.
Because he could not bear to be humiliated, let alone be a prisoner of his subordinates, he chose the path that he thought was the most glorious.
No one could have imagined that things would turn out like this, and everyone was dumbfounded. I wonder what the charm of Du He's words can do to force Qin Ling to have no choice but to jump off the building.
But Du He took it for granted, because he and Qin Ling were both smart people, and there was no need for smart people to mince words when speaking.
"Du He's few words are very simple, but they convey one meaning.
He came, and he came with the army of the Tang Dynasty, and he had already taken control of the country.
Yaochi could no longer control everything. The purpose of Qinling was to make Yaochi give up resistance for his father and let the soldiers of Xiangxiong Kingdom know that their king was captured and lose their fighting spirit. He finally captured Xiangxiong Kingdom easily. But what if Yaochi agrees now?
Now Du He has 20,000 soldiers and horses. He is the strongest and the biggest. He has the final say on everything.
Even if Yaochi agrees to surrender and give Xiangxiong Kingdom to Tibet, can Du He agree?
King Xiangxiong could influence the morale of the soldiers of Xiangxiong Kingdom, but it had no impact on the Tang army. Even if they cut off King Xiangxiong's head, these Tang soldiers who had experienced life and death on the battlefield would not blink an eye.
As long as Du He gives the order, let alone them, even if the entire palace city is massacred, it is just a matter of words.
Du He did not explain, but secretly gave Qinling two choices. First, let King Xiangxiong go and surrender; secondly, kill them all regardless of King Xiangxiong's life or death.
Under this situation, Qinling had no choice.
In order to open up a road when there was no way, the eight thousand people led by Qin Ling suffered a lot. Five thousand people died on the way because of his bold and terrible decision. Now there are only three thousand people beside him who are exhausted. He was not afraid of death when the Tibetan soldiers were exhausted, but he did not want to see his soldiers die in vain because of his own struggle to trap the beasts.
"Let's give it a grand burial"
Du He didn¡¯t feel any joy. It could be said that he got a bargain in this battle.
Qinling was not defeated by his hands, but by fate.
Qinling is outstanding, very powerful!
Du He now has to admit this.
Because of his instructions, Qin Ling could not lure him out of Yaochi. Decisive choice to take risks, take the road that others have not taken, and do things that the Japanese dare not do. This courage is enough to predict his achievements.
It¡¯s just that Qinling is not a god. He was not defeated as quickly as Songtsen Gampo, and he could not have expected that he would attack him so quickly. This accident made his feat and accident the reason for his failure.
If it weren¡¯t for his own appearance, Qinling would have created a military miracle just like Deng Ai, and Tubo would have room for maneuver because of this battle.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? However, Qinling still lost despite the fact.
Du He was a little regretful, but also thankful. He regretted not being able to compete evenly with such a powerful opponent in a big battle. He was also glad that he was not able to compete evenly with such a powerful opponent in a big battle.
As a bloody man, it is a happy thing to have an evenly matched opponent. Likewise, as the commander-in-chief of the armed forces, he wishes that all his opponents were fools, so that he would win more easily and the casualties of his soldiers would be minimized.
Qin Ling was destroyed, and only Songtsen Gampo was left. - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
