- After Zheyu captured Zhuo Qing, he spread the news to Qingtang City. As the commander-in-chief of Qingtang City, Zhuo Qing was captured alive by the Tang army, which dealt a fatal blow to the Tubo Jingqi in Qingtang City. **¡¶¡·*When he heard the news, Tubo Jingqi was already confused without distinguishing whether the news was true or false. Because Zhuo Qing, who had been the guard of Qingtang City for several years, became the spiritual support of the Tubo Jingqi in Qingtang City. Now that they suddenly heard that their general was captured alive by the Tang army, could the Tubo Jingqi remain calm? Therefore, with this exciting news, the Tang army's offensive became more and more fierce. They broke out with unprecedented fighting power to fight the Tubo Jingqi, while the Tubo Jingqi fell into confusion and were killed by the Tang army. Defeated. Coupled with the addition of Zheyu's 20,000 ghost-faced riders, it didn't take long for all the Tubo soldiers in Qingtang City to be wiped out. Some of the Tubo Jingqi were killed by the Tang army, while more Tubo Jingqi chose to surrender and became prisoners of the Tang army.
After Qingtang City was completely controlled by the Tang army, Su Dingfang led the army and slowly walked into Qingtang City. Su Dingfang and his party had just sat down in the General's Mansion in Qingtang City. Before Du Junchuo reported the results and casualty statistics of the siege, he saw his own soldiers hurriedly walked into the hall.
"Reporting to the general, the four generals Xue Rengui, Tuyan, Yuwen Guo, and Zadler are asking for an audience!" The soldiers reported to Su Dingfang.
"Well - they are so fast!" Su Dingfang said in a low voice.
Cheng Mingzhen, Li Min, Li Zong, Zheyu, Du Junchuo, Li Xiazhong and others on the side were also quite surprised. They did not expect that the four of them could return to Qingtang City so quickly. Could it be that their battle was over? So fast?
"Let them come in!" Su Dingfang said calmly.
The soldiers took the order and left.
Su Dingfang did not speak, but quietly waited for Xue Rengui, Tuyan, Yuwen Guo, and Zadler, and saw the four of them striding into the main hall of the General's Mansion.
"See you, General!" Xue Rengui, Tuyan, Yuwen Guo, and Zadler saluted Su Dingfang.
"Tell me about your achievements!" Su Dingfang asked calmly.
"Back to General, we encountered Sang Xiong's 50,000 Tubo elite cavalry on the road. After more than an hour of fighting, we completely wiped out these Tubo elite cavalry and beheaded the Tubo general Sang Xiong." Yu Wenguo replied to Su Dingfang. road.
"Were all 50,000 Tubo elite cavalry wiped out?" Su Dingfang asked.
"Yes, all 50,000 fine cavalry were wiped out!" Yu Wenguo replied affirmatively.
"Who killed Sang Xiong?" Su Dingfang continued to ask.
"Sang Xiong fought with General Tuyan and was killed by Xue Li with an arrow!" Yu Wenguo continued to answer.
At this moment, a soldier walked up to Su Dingdian holding a box.
"General, this is Sang Xiong's head!" Yu Wenguo continued.
Su Dingfang did not continue to speak, but motioned to the soldier to open the box for him to take a look. The soldier took the order and slowly opened the box, and saw the ferocious head of the Mulberry Bear exposed in the one-foot-square box.
Su Dingfang looked at it very carefully, and then a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, you did a good job. Send Sang Xiong's head to Luolan and give it to His Highness. Your Highness will like it very much!" Su Dingfang ordered.
"Nuo" Yu Wenguo responded.
"How many people did you lose this time?" Su Dingfang continued to ask.
"Youzhou cavalry lost two thousand men and horses!" Yu Wenguo replied, his face turned livid when he mentioned the number of people lost.
"The Tuyu Hun Jing Cavalry lost three thousand!" Tu Yan said with shame. Thirty thousand Tu Yu Hun Jing Cavalry fought with Yu Wenguo's fifteen thousand Youzhou Iron Cavalry. The Youzhou Iron Cavalry only lost two thousand, while his three Wan Jingqi lost three thousand, how could this not make Tuyan ashamed?
"The Turkic Jingqi lost two thousand people!" Xue Rengui replied.
"My cavalry lost two thousand people!" Zadler also said.
"It only cost 9,000 men to annihilate Sangxiong's 50,000 fine cavalry. You fought well in this battle!" Su Dingfang said with a faint smile, "Four generals, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, General!" Xue Rengui, Tuyan, Yuwen Guo, and Zadler took their orders and then took their seats.
After the four of them sat down, Su Dingfang continued, "General Du, keep talking!"
"Nuo" Du Junchuo took the order and continued, "General, this time we captured Qingtang City, the losses of the army were not big, the infantry lost less than 6,000 people, and the cavalry only lost more than 5,000 people. , mainly because we were frantically intercepted and killed by them during the street battle with the Tubo Jingqi in Qingtang City, and we annihilated and captured 60,000 Tubo Jingqi, of which 30,000 Tubo Jingqi were killed, and three??The Tubo Jingqi were captured, and the rest escaped from Qingtang City. As for how many people escaped, the specific number is not yet known. "
¡°Well¡ª¡ª¡± Su Dingfang nodded.
Xue Rengui, Tu Yan, Yu Wen Guo, and Zadler were shocked when they heard such an impressive achievement. They did not expect that for such a tall and solid city like Qingtang City, Du Junchuo only used This city was captured at such a price.
"Tell us about the situation in Qingtang City!" Su Dingfang continued.
"General, there are 500,000 Tubo civilians left in Qingtang City. There is one big chieftain. He is the eldest brother of the guard of Qingtang City. His name is Zhuo Wang. Thirteen little chieftains have all been imprisoned. There are also forty officials from the Tubo Royal Court in the dungeon of the General's Mansion, and all of them have been imprisoned in the dungeon of the General's Mansion." Li Xianzhong reported to Su Dingfanghui.
Because, when he first captured Qingtang City, Du Junchuo ordered Li Xianzhong to be responsible for this aspect of affairs, such as counting people, arresting officials, and collecting property.
Su Dingfang said nothing and continued to listen to Li Xianzhong's report.
Li Xianzhong continued to reply, "Qingtang City has prepared food, grass and baggage for Lu Dongzan's army. Now that we have captured it, the food and grass in the city can last for half a year, and the weapons and arrows in the arsenal are enough." 300,000 yuan. We searched the residences of thirteen small chieftains and obtained 8 million guan. We searched the mansion of the big chieftain Zhuo Wang and obtained 10 million guan." Li Xianzhong reported to Su Dingfanghui carefully.
Su Dingfang listened carefully to what Li Xianzhong said, and then he said, "Save all the collected money in the treasury of the General's Mansion, and let the Ghost Face Cavalry be responsible for guarding it!"
"Nuo" Li Xianzhong and Zhe Yu said at the same time.
"Leave the rest of the food, grass and baggage to General Li!" Su Dingfang continued to order.
"Nuo" Li Xianzhong took the order.
"Everyone, we have captured Qingtang City. The current army is not adapted to fighting on the plateau and cannot continue to fight. Therefore, it needs to be revised for a few days. It may only take three days for Lu Dongzan's 150,000 troops to reach Qingtang City. Below Tang City, we must be prepared to defend the city." Su Dingfang said calmly, "So, tell me your suggestions!"
When Su Dingfang said this, everyone understood what he meant, which was to play a defensive battle with Lu Dongzan and let Lu Dongzan attack the city with 150,000 cavalry. Letting the Tibetan cavalry attack the city was indeed the weakness of the Tibetan army, and the Tang army was good at defending the city. Therefore, Su Dingfang's tactic is to use his own strengths to deal with the enemy's weaknesses.
Therefore, after listening to Su Dingfang's arrangements, the generals had no suggestions or opinions.
"Don't you have any suggestions?" Su Dingfang asked lightly.
The generals expressed that they had no different opinions.
"In this case, the general will appoint¡ª¡ª" Su Dingfang began to order.
The generals maintained a solemn expression, waiting for Su Dingfang's military order.
"Du Junchuo is the guard general of Qingtang City, and Cheng Mingzhen is the deputy general of Qingtang City. The two of you will be responsible for the comfort of Qingtang City in the future. You will fight against Lu Dongzan's army to defend the city. In addition to In addition to Youzhou Iron Cavalry, Tuyuhun Elite Cavalry, Turkic Elite Cavalry, Ghost Face Cavalry and Heavy Cavalry Battalion, other armies must participate in the battle to defend the city!" Su Dingfang ordered.
"Nuo" Du Junchuo and Cheng Mingzhen took the lead.
"Li Xianzhong, appoint you as the governor of Qingtang City, and be fully responsible for the security of Qingtang City and the supply of food, grass and baggage for the army!" Su Dingfang continued to order.
"Nuo" Li Xianzhong took the order.
After Su Dingfang finished issuing the order, he glanced at the generals present and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
None of the generals spoke, and the atmosphere in the hall became solemn.
After a while, Zheyu finally said, "General, what should we do with the 500,000 Tubo civilians in Qingtang City? The war is about to begin. Keeping them will be a disaster!"
Zhe Yu¡¯s words are self-evident, that is, the city needs to be massacred, otherwise if this group of people rebels, it will cause danger and trouble to the army defending the city. When Zheyu said these words, except for Tu Yan, whose face was a little pale, the other generals had calm faces. It seemed that the massacre of half a million Tubo people was not surprising to them. In fact, Tuyan's Tuyuhun Jingqi are just like the Turkic Jingqi, they are powerful soldiers who burn, kill and loot. Tuyan could kill half a million people at once. He would not dare to issue such a military order, and he would not be able to do so. Unfeeling makes you look pale.
"Well -" Su Dingfang pondered for a moment and then said, "Your Highness means to recruit young Tibetan men to build several pipelines from the northwest to Chang'an. As for women, children and the elderly -" Su Dingfang pondered for a moment, and flashed in his eyes A touch of cold light.
"Zheyu, Tuyan, theseI'll leave the matter to you! "Su Dingfang said coldly, "The young and strong people from Tubo were selected and sent to Nuolan to hand over to His Highness, and all the others rushed outside the city to kill them! "
"Nuo" Zheyu said coldly.
And Tuyan also accepted the order in a low voice, but he was very shocked in his heart.
"Because, he only realized the cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness of these Tang generals today. In the past, the Tang generals would treat prisoners very well, let alone killing civilians. But these Tang generals in front of them continued to kill prisoners and civilians, even women, children and the elderly. Even if he selects young men among 500,000 people, he can only get less than 200,000, and the remaining 300,000 will be killed. Tuyan can't figure out who changed the deep-rooted kindness and kindness of these generals. What about the pedantic thinking that turned them into cold-blooded and ruthless professional soldiers?
Suddenly, Tuyan thought of Li Ke, the Northern King.
Yes, he is the only one who has this ability! Tuyan thought this in his mind, and his thoughts returned to the scene of meeting Li Ke.
