Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the morning of the next day, just as Ma Meng expected, the Tang army began to attack Pibo City.

    However, what surprised the Tubo generals in Pibo City was that the Tang army's siege this time was different from the past. They did not have large siege equipment or siege infantry. Only 30,000 fine cavalry appeared under Pibo City.  , including the 20,000 heavy cavalry battalion.

    Ma Meng was also surprised by Tang Jun's actions. He didn't know what Tang Jun wanted to do.

    The Tang Army's 20,000 heavy cavalry camp under Pibo City is in the middle, and the 10,000 cavalry are divided into two parts and arranged on both sides of the heavy cavalry camp, a standard offensive deployment.  They saw Chen Qiduan, a general of the Tang army, sitting on his horse, shouting loudly in front of Pibo City, "Is there a strong horse on the tower?"

    Ma Meng saw Chen Qi, who was in the center of the Tang army. He was less than thirty years old, fair-skinned, and calm. He didn't look like a massacrer and prisoner-killer. But such a general was leading an army into Tubo.  After that, he slaughtered cities and captured prisoners all the way to the hinterland. The number of Tibetan knights and civilians who died in his hands was not more than 500,000 but also 300,000.

    Therefore, Ma Meng did not dare to look down upon Chen Qi. Seeing Chen Qi shouting to him, he also replied, "I am Ma Meng, general. How dare you be your Excellency?"

    Ma Meng did not say that he knew about Chen Qi.

    "This general is Chen Qi, a general on the southern front of the Tang Army!" Chen Qi replied calmly.

    "Oh! It turns out it's General Chen Qi who killed countless Tibetan warriors and even the common people!" Ma Meng said fiercely, "I wonder what you want to say to greet me?"

    "Ma Meng, you brought 80,000 royal court elites to Pibo City just for decoration, right? I just want you to send tens of thousands of elite cavalry to train with the Tang Dynasty cavalry." Chen Qi said with a sneer.  .

    Ma Meng was shocked. He didn't expect how his thoughts could be known by Chen Qi, and why he came out to challenge him today.  Could it be that a spy secretly informed Chen Qi about the results of yesterday's meeting in the Chinese army's tent?  When Ma Meng thought of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He felt that he was too careless, why he allowed him to participate in military affairs without screening the personnel who discussed the military situation, and also expressed his own thoughts and purposes.

    However, Ma Meng did not show any signs of discomfort. He still smiled lightly and said, "General Chen Qi, forget it for today! Our army has just arrived in Pibo City and needs to rest for a few days before we can fight!"

    Ma Meng also knew very well that now that the Tang army was at its peak, he would definitely not be able to get an advantage by going out to the city to fight with them. It would be better to keep them cold for a few days, and wait until they become impatient before attacking with one strike to win.

    But how could Chen Qi not think of what Ma Meng thought of?

    Chen Qi laughed and said, "I heard that General Ma Meng is the guard of the Tibetan King, and I am also the chief of guard of His Royal Highness the North King. Today the two countries are fighting, why don't we have a discussion in front of the battle? Of course?  , if the general feels that he is no match for me, he can refuse my request."

    Chen Qi¡¯s words were about him and Ma Meng, but they also involved Li Ke and Songtsen Gampo.

    Ma Meng is a person who very much upholds the authority and reputation of Songtsen Gampo. He will definitely accept the fight when he hears what Chen Qi said.

    Sure enough, just as Chen Qi had guessed, Ma Meng's face turned red when he heard his words, and fierce flames burst out in his eyes.

    "General Chen Qi, if you want to fight me, I will promise you, but not today, but in three days!" Ma Meng still resisted his impulse.  Because he knew very well that Chen Qi came prepared today, and he would definitely suffer a loss if he prepared hastily.  There is also a question that worries Ma Meng, that is, he must find out who this traitor is as soon as possible.  The existence of this person poses a great threat to Pibo City. If he cannot find out his guilt and let Chen Qi know all his thoughts, then what is there to fight in this battle?

    "Hahaha¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª" Chen Qi laughed and said, "Since General Ma Meng doesn't want to fight with me, I won't force him to do anything. It's just that it's not easy for me, the Tang Jingqi, to come to Pibo City.  It's not easy for you to defend the city, so let my soldiers put on a good show for you and it's not too late to retreat!"

    After Chen Qi finished speaking, he saw the Tang army's central formation separated, and thousands of Tibetan prisoners were escorted to the front of the formation.  Behind each Tubo prisoner was a Tang soldier holding a sword.  Ma Meng from Pibo City counted carefully and found that the number of these prisoners reached two thousand.

    Ma Meng already knew what Chen Qi meant, because he had heard too many rumors about Chen Qi killing prisoners and massacring the city. When he saw Chen Qi coming out like this today, he knew what Chen Qi wanted to do. He looked at the Tibetan prisoners under the city.  , Ma Meng clenched her fists, suppressing the rage and impulse in her heart, and quietly watched what Chen Qi wanted to do.

    However, Chen Qi escorted the Tibetan prisoners to the front of the formation and did not continue to issue military orders.

    Rather, open upFrom a distance of one hundred steps, he began to measure the terrain, and then used white ash to circle a square area one hundred fifty steps long and eighty steps wide.  Then, twenty-two soldiers appeared in the Tang Army's formation. They wore black and two different colors of clothes and began to play football on the field.

    Ma Meng knew that this was Cuju from the Tang Dynasty, but he was still stunned. He didn't know what Chen Qi wanted to do.

    However, after waiting for a while, when the black team kicked a ball into the goal, ten Tang soldiers raised their swords and cut off the heads of ten Tibetan prisoners.

    The sword of the Tang army was very sharp. There was no sound when the sword slid across the neck. The head of the Tibetan prisoner rose into the sky, and the fallen body stopped for a few seconds before bright red blood gushed out.

    ¡°You¡ª¡ª¡± Ma Meng finally understood what Chen Qi wanted to do. He was using the Tibetan prisoners as a bet for the two teams to score during Cuju.  If Chen Qi killed the Tibetan prisoners directly in front of Ma Meng, Ma Meng would still hold back, he would hold back because he had done such a thing many times.  But now Chen Qi regards the Tibetan prisoners as bargaining chips and as a bet for scoring goals during Cuju. How can he hold back this tone?

    ¡°Chen Qi, you¡¯ve gone too far to bully others¡ª¡± Ma Meng roared, ¡°I want to fight you to the death!¡±

    ¡°Haha¡ª¡ª¡± Chen Qi laughed, ¡°Ma Meng, do you finally want to fight with me?¡±

    Chen Qi smiled happily because his goal had been achieved.

    In fact, the duel between Chen Qi and Ma Meng was not his tactical request for Pibo City, but because Ma Meng rejected Chen Qi's request to fight the Tibetan Jingqi, which made Chen Qi want to thwart the Tibetan people's invasion of Pibo at Ma Meng.  The confidence and strategy he had built up in the city could not be realized, so he thought of fighting Ma Meng, just to send a signal to the Tubo people by defeating Ma Meng. Even if General Songtsen Gampo came to Pibo City, even if the Tubo people  The royal guards came to Pibo City. As long as the Tang Dynasty Jingqi rode under the city, Pibo City would never be able to defend it and would become a part of the Tang Dynasty.

    Seeing that Ma Meng was preparing to fight with him, Chen Qi issued an order, and two thousand Tibetan prisoners were beheaded in front of the battle.

    When Ma Meng came out of the city and saw two thousand headless corpses and two thousand heads without corpses in front of him, he was so dizzy that he almost fell off his horse.

    "Chen Qi - you must die today!" Ma Meng roared, leading 50,000 fine cavalry to slowly move towards the Tang army.

    Fifty thousand elite riders?  Chen Qi smiled brightly when he saw the 50,000 fine cavalry behind Ma Meng.

    Because he knew Ma Meng's current mood, and he wanted to kill himself and the three elite troops behind him in one battle.  Ma Meng's thoughts played into Chen Qi's hands, and Chen Qi also wanted to kill Ma Meng and his Jingqi.

    Because, had it not been for the appearance of Ma Meng and the instigation of the Eastern Tibetan elements, Pibo City would have collapsed without any attack. But it was only because of Ma Meng's presence in Pibo City that this situation would have occurred.
