Nearly 200,000 troops besieged Liangning Prefecture in three directions. The 50,000 Tibetan defenders in Liangning Prefecture were panicked. If they had not known that the Tibetan King Stanley had led an army of 50,000 to come for reinforcements, the Tibetan defenders would have abandoned the city and fled.
But what if Stanley comes to help? These 100,000 soldiers and horses are already the last Tibetan troops, and at least 30% of these troops are newly recruited new troops, with no combat effectiveness at all.
Stanley never expected that Zhang Xu¨¡n would abandon Li Gong and attack Tubo first. Moreover, such a huge effort was used to gather 200,000 troops one by one. On the surface, it was to clear up the shame and regain the Liangning Prefecture, but in fact, it was to destroy the country of Tubo!
Stanley was in despair and had a serious lack of confidence in a decisive battle with Zhang Xu¨¡n's army.
Stanley's reinforcements quickened their pace and entered Liangning Prefecture two days before Zhang Xu¨¡n's three armies arrived in Liangning Prefecture. On that day, Stanley immediately sent a special envoy to Zhang Xu¨¡n's army to beg for surrender. It means that you can bow your head to the emperor of China and be a country of sons and ministers forever.
And just when Stanley's special envoy begged for surrender, Nan Jiyun's 10,000 cavalrymen had already descended from heaven like divine soldiers and occupied Dulan Fortress, the Tibetan's important food and grass town. The five thousand Tibetan defenders fled without a fight. Nan Jiyun led his army in pursuit. On the bank of Wuhai, they surrounded Yang Lian's army and killed all five thousand Tibetan soldiers without leaving any one behind.
By the Black Sea, murderous intent permeated the air and blood flowed into a river.
In Zhang Xu¨¡n¡¯s large tent, all the generals stood in awe, full of murderous intent.
Stanley's special envoy Maliluo walked in with his head lowered in fear, and knelt before Zhang Xu¨¡n in Tubo etiquette. He was no stranger to Zhang Xu¨¡n at all, because the Chinese emperor in front of him once led his troops to fight in and out of Tubo, as if he were in a no-man's land, and he was very famous in Tubo.
It¡¯s just that Maliluo didn¡¯t expect that Zhang Xu¨¡n was so young.
"The little minister of Tubo, Maliluo, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of China!"
"Look up!"
Zhang Xu¨¡n smiled calmly, "When Stanley sent you here, didn't you declare a challenge to me?"
"I don't dare. His Royal Highness the King of Tubo ordered me to come and submit a letter of surrender to His Majesty the Emperor. I, Tubo, would like to be the country under the control of His Majesty the Emperor of China. I will be a vassal forever and never rebel! I also ask His Majesty the Emperor to suspend his thunderous wrath!" "
Mali Luo knelt down in fear, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Zhang Xu¨¡n smiled, looked around the generals and said, "Everyone, Nanba has led his army to capture Dulan. All the food and grass supplies for the Tibetan garrison have fallen into the hands of our army, and 40,000 people under Yang Lian have arrived in Wuhai. Uighur troops and horses As we are pressing on Xinghai, Liangning Prefecture has fallen into the siege of our three-pronged army with tens of thousands of troops. At this moment, Stanley is coming to beg for surrender!"
"Ma Liluo, I once gave Stanley a chance. I sent troops to destroy Trisong Dezan and supported Stanley to ascend the throne. Then Stanley was capricious and repaid kindness with hatred. He not only invaded our two Ningzhous, but also killed and invaded the border areas and enslaved people. My people have committed numerous blood debts!"
"If I had followed Stanley's begging for surrender, how would I have faced my people? My heavenly kingdom has been humiliated by the barbarians, and I will definitely retaliate tooth for tooth and blood for blood!"
boom!
Zhang Xu¨¡n suddenly slapped the handsome case and shouted, "Mari Luo, I won't kill you. Go back and tell Stanley that I won't give him a chance anymore. Let him quickly assemble his army and fight with me. In this battle, Lian will win." I will use his head to commemorate all the people who were trampled and killed. Once I tell him, he will definitely kill me! This time, I will not destroy Tubo and I swear not to return home!"
Zhang Xu¨¡n¡¯s voice was cold and high-pitched.
Maliluo knelt on the ground, his face turned pale, his shoulders trembling, he was too scared to say a word.
"Cut off this person's arm and drive him out!"
Zhang Xu¨¡n shouted violently.
Maliluo was so shocked that he lost his countenance and cried out, "Your Majesty, please have mercy on me! Have mercy on me! I am innocent!"
Stanley was like a crazy leopard in Liangningzhou, waving the scimitar in his hand and roaring to the generals, "That bastard Li Gong, why doesn't he attack Qinghai? Why doesn't he come to help our country?"
"Hanyu" these Hanyu! "
"He wants to destroy me, Tubo! He won't give me the chance to surrender. He wants the Tubo royal family to cut off their descendants. What a vicious thief!"
"Fight, fight! I will fight the Han to a decisive battle and swear to defend the Tubo land!"
The Tubo generals remained silent.
For this reason, although Liangning Prefecture has 100,000 troops and horses, they are short of food and supplies, and they are besieged by three armies in the hinterland of Liangning Prefecture. Even the retreat is blocked. In addition to the S war, There is no other way out.
"However, the favorable terrain in the plains in front of the two Ningzhous was occupied by Zhang Xu¨¡n's army. The long and narrow terrain was not conducive to the attack of the Tubo cavalry battle formation, so they could fight outIf you go, you will definitely be ambushed by the enemy's army, and there will be no place to die.
And to the northeast of Liangning Prefecture is Helan Mountain. Even if the Tubo cavalry can break through the Uighur army's camp and fall into the mountains and forests, they will still have to follow the same path. Once the cavalry enters the mountains and forests, they have no use for them. Are they not just at the mercy of others?
Nearly all the troops in Tubo are gathered in Liangning Prefecture. If this battle is defeated, the country will be destroyed. Therefore, the Tibetan army has long been disintegrated. Knowing that it will be defeated, how can it still have the confidence and courage to fight?
Stanley roared for a long time, but received no response. He couldn't help but sit there panting, his eyes dull and the corners of his mouth trembling slightly.
Maliluo, who had one of his arms cut off, turned pale. He lay on the stretcher and gritted his teeth and said to Stanley, "My king, the enemy army is strong and our army is difficult to defeat. Fighting the enemy in front of Liangningzhou must be the same way." . It is better to abandon Liangning Prefecture, break through Yang Lian's camp from the west, break out of the siege, retreat to the royal court, and think about it in the long run."
"My king, you can't hesitate to reach Sichuan." If you continue to hesitate, our army will be trapped in Liangning Prefecture! "
Mariro shouted in a trembling voice, hoarse at the top of his lungs.
Stanley suddenly stood up, gritted his teeth, and said in a muffled voice, "That's it, send the order, the whole army will be there, kill Yang Lian's troops to the west, strive to break out of the siege from Wuhai, and retreat to Luoche City!"
In fact, Yang Lian's troops to the west are not 40,000, but 50,000, including 10,000 Shence Army cavalry from Nan Jiyun.
The two men joined forces and guarded the west side of Liangning, blocking the retreat of the Tibetan soldiers and horses.
In the afternoon, a tidal wave of Tibetan soldiers and horses rushed over from the front line of Liangning Prefecture. Their shouts shook the heaven and the earth, which was quite impressive.
" Looking from a distance from the high slope where Yang Lian and Nan Jiyun were, the Tubo soldiers and horses were in a messy formation and their morale was low. It was obvious at a glance that they were not fighting but fleeing.
Yang Lian frowned, looked at Nan Jiyun and said hurriedly, "Brother Nan, the Tubo troops are fleeing. If our army temporarily avoids its edge, waits for them to escape, and then leads the army to cover them up, we will be able to fight without fighting." And conquer the enemy's soldiers!"
Nan Jiyun nodded. He knew in his heart that the 100,000 Tibetan troops were eager to escape. If their army blocked the road and prevented them from fighting, the casualties would be heavy. If we avoid its sharp edge for the time being, let it run away, and then raise troops to pursue it from behind, we can minimize the casualties of the soldiers.
"Moreover, once Stanley escapes, the main force led by Guo Yi and the Uighur soldiers and horses will soon pursue him. With three armies chasing and intercepting him, how can Stanley's soldiers and horses escape to the sky?"
Seeing that Nan Jiyun agreed with his strategy, Yang Lian immediately ordered someone to pass on the army. The army retreated to the two wings, leaving the wilderness in the middle, hiding on both sides, waiting for work and watching the changes.
Stanley led the Tibetan soldiers and horses to rush through the wilderness like locusts, looking towards the royal court crazily and fleeing. Along the way, their helmets and armor were discarded, and military flags and baggage were thrown everywhere.
Seeing the Tubo soldiers and horses rushing over.
Yang Lian immediately ordered someone to blow the horn of attack.
Kill!
The 50,000-strong army roared and chased them, with smoke and dust swirling in the air and horse hooves rushing like thunder. Nan Jiyun led 10,000 Shence troops to charge at the front. As he issued orders one after another, the rockets in the hands of the soldiers flew out like a violent storm, falling into the formation of Tubo deserters one after another.
The roaring explosions were mixed with the screams of war horses, and fireworks were everywhere. Wherever you looked, countless Tubo cavalry fell off their horses, and were immediately trampled to pieces by the crazy horse hooves.
Although they lost their fighting spirit and focused on escaping, there were still hundreds of thousands of people. After being hunted for more than a hundred miles and wounding nearly 20,000 people, Stanley finally became angry and reorganized his army from Quma to attack the coalition forces of Yang Lian and Nan Jiyun, preparing for a decisive battle with the coalition forces.
It¡¯s a pity that it¡¯s too late.
Guo Yi led the main force of his army and horses to cover up and kill them from behind, while the 50,000 Huihe army bypassed Zhaling Lake and approached Quma, gathering the remaining defeated generals of Stanley in Quma and annihilating them.
A fierce battle day and night. Under the three-way attack, Stanley's remnant troops fled again. Some were annihilated on the spot by the army, some fled to Xingxuchuan, and some fled to Wangtingluoche City.
Zhang Xu¨¡n immediately ordered Yang Lian to lead his troops to pursue Xingxuchuan.
Zhang Xu¨¡n issued an order that all remaining Tibetan troops must be wiped out in Tubo territory, and the defeated Tibetan troops must not be allowed to flee to the Western Regions.
The other road, led by Guo Yi, rushed to pursue and kill them all the way to the Tubo royal court.
The army was as powerful as a rainbow, but the remnants of the Tibetan army were outnumbered, lacked food and had no fighting spirit. Therefore, one was chased and the other fled. After more than ten days of journey, the tens of thousands of remnants led by Stanley were already less than 10,000, and most of them were trapped in Momo led by Li Siye. Of course, in the hands of the sword army, a small number of them fled and mixed into various parts of Tubo.
??Ningta.
Stanley had no strength at all and fell on the grass by the river. Thousands of remaining Tibetan soldiers fell to the ground in twos and threes, panting like cattle. The machete in his hand had long since disappeared, and most of the horses had been slaughtered on the road to satisfy their hunger.
There is no way to escape, there is no way to escape.
??If this continues, what will happen even if we escape into Luoshou City?
The sound of the roaring hooves of the army chasing the horses that shook the earth could be heard faintly in his ears. Stanley looked up at the sky sadly, with two muddy tears falling from the corners of his eyes.
He knew in his heart that his life had come to an end, and Tubo was also over.
At this moment, the mocking smile of his brother Trisong Detsen seemed to appear in front of his eyes. He raised his hand fiercely to grab it, but found nothing.
Not far away, two of his personal guards suddenly ran over with knives and stabbed Stanley's chest fiercely, causing blood to spurt out. ! .
