The troops showed off their power like tigers among sheep, cutting melons and vegetables to harvest the Tibetan soldiers who had no fighting spirit at all. By the time Liu Yuan arrived at the battlefield, the soldiers had already cleaned up the battlefield. Using elite and powerful troops to attack these miscellaneous troops is a bit like using cannons to fight mosquitoes. There is no challenge, it is just for fun. As soon as Liu Yuan arrived, Guan Yong, Hou Jun and others saluted him. "How are the casualties of our army?" Liu Yuan's first question after arriving at the battlefield was about the casualties. There is no longer any suspense about the outcome. Liu Yuan is most concerned about his subordinates. There are not many of them in the first place. If the losses are too large in this kind of purely training battle, then Liu Yuan will be very heartbroken. This also shows that in Liu Yuan's heart, , the lives of soldiers are more important than honor. Zhao Fu said happily: "General, we have just calculated that our army only paid the price of 68 injuries and 18 brothers killed, and wiped out about 1,200 enemy soldiers, winning a complete victory." Although it is clear. In the era of cold weapons, casualties are inevitable, and the damage rate is also astonishingly low, but Liu Yuan still said heartbrokenly: "It makes me heartbroken to have a brother killed in battle." Elites, raids, ambushes, and fire With their advantages such as blunderbuss and clairvoyance, they unleashed their attack power at the very beginning, and dozens of people died in the end. From this, we can also see how terrifying the Tubo people were, being able to destroy so many countries and suppress so many ethnic groups. , the status of plateau hegemon is really not just a boast. Liu Yuan's words made all the soldiers feel warm in their hearts. It is indeed a very happy thing to have a general who loves his soldiers as much as his son. Qian Weiqiang comforted Liu Yuan and said: "General, as the old saying goes, kill. The enemy lost 1,000 and suffered 800 losses. Now they are doing well. If they die on the battlefield, I think they died with honor. " "That's right. General, how can we not suffer casualties on the battlefield? It's perfect." Yuchi Baoqing also comforted him. "Well, you are right. We should be happy for them and feel proud of them. Okay. Cremate them and take them home. Don't let them live in a foreign country and have no one to rely on." "Yes, General. "Zhao Fu said in a low voice: "I have already asked people to prepare firewood, and I will not abandon them." Seeing that he had ruined the good atmosphere, Liu Yuan said with a smile: "Okay, let's not mention this. Who killed the leader of the thousand households?" Everyone looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Xue Dao." Xiao Xue Dao Yue Chong clasped his fists and said a little embarrassedly: "You guys accept it, I accept it. The greatest achievement was to kill the enemy's first thousand household heads, with Yue Chong guarding the last level. As soon as he rushed down, he went straight to the enemy's head without saying a word. The Tubo people had a clear hierarchy, and officials could easily see that. Yue rushed through five passes and killed six generals, killing more than ten soldiers who were blocking them, without using three swords. , and chopped off the head of the enemy's head of a thousand households. Get the first shot before others arrive. Liu Yuan patted Yue Chong on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, good job." "Thank you, General." Yue Jun said somewhat flattered. Zhao Fu whispered: "General, after destroying these people, where shall we go next?" "Luoxue City." Liu Yuan said with a serious face. "Just us?" "That's right." Zhao Fu said in surprise: "General, I heard that Luoche City now has high walls and strong walls, and is extremely heavily guarded. With Abo Se's surrender in Pibo City, the secret of the Abo clan It no longer exists. It is said that the secret passage has been sealed. It will be difficult for us to go back. "Guan Yong also asked in a low voice: "General, this is too dangerous." Liu Yuan laughed. , waved his hands and said: "Seeing that you two are scared, yes, we are going back to Luoche City, but we are not going into the city, but operating outside the city, so you don't have to worry." "General, we are What is the purpose of this trip?" Hou Jun said curiously. Militant Guan Yong said with excitement: "We must have rushed in to rob people when the city was broken. If we catch Songtsen Gampo, then we will skyrocket." "It is to capture Songtsen Gampo. "Liu Yuan said with a smile: "But we are not arresting him in the city. We are going to arrest him outside the city." "General, why?" Liu Yuan said in surprise: "It's very possible. Songtsen Gampo has a way out of the city. "Everyone was shocked when these words came out, but in retrospect, there was a way for Abo Se to lead outside the city. Before Songtsen Gampo conquered the plateau, there were constant battles, and there was no follow-up. Why is it strange? The Yangwei Army is an elite force, but when fighting in a large army, the emphasis is on strength in numbers. If there really is a secret way, it would be that others plant trees and pick the fruits yourself, and others cut grass and hug rabbits yourself. This is simply wonderful. Hou Jun suddenly frowned and pointed at the armors on the dead Tibetan soldiers on the ground, and said with a grimace: "General, don't we have to wear these dirty and broken armors again?" "Now that we know it, why don't we be happy? Take some action?" Liu Yuan said with a face. When everyone heard this, they said with a sad face: "Yes, General." So, everyone had to accept the mission of dressing up in disguise and going deep behind enemy lines again. Fortunately, the Yangwei Army and his party had experience in this area, and the Hakka family remained. The tents, cattle, horses, daily utensils, etc. under the tents are all good disguises and can completely replace their identities and move in the rear. ¡°A general is a general, he is always one step ahead,¡± everyone secretly praised in their hearts while cleaning up the war. The next day, Liu Yuan and his entourage were dressed in disguise, wearing Tubo decorations, carrying the ashes of their fallen brothers, driving cattle and horses, and heading towards Luoxe City with the Hakka clan members. , the gates of Pibo City were opened wide, and groups of elite Tang soldiers marched out of the city, following their respective generals to the battlefield. When the Tang army left the city, the combined forces of Tuyuhun and other ethnic minorities also rushed to the village. When we set off, we aimed directly at the capital of Tubo: Luoxue City. The decisive battle has finally officially begun. When marching into Luoche City, the first difficulty that Hou Junji encountered was not the people, but a river, the Zanghe River, which was strong and fast. It was this river that divided Luoche City and Pibo City into one east and one west. Zangampo sent people to set up defenses by the river early in the morning to prevent the Tang army from crossing the river. So, a war over crossing the river started. The Tang Dynasty won because of its elite and well-trained personnel, while Tubo had the advantage of geographical convenience and population. The two started sawing each other by the river. It can be said that there was victory or defeat for each other. The Tibetan River was stained red with blood several times. I don¡¯t know how many times. The warriors were buried at the bottom of the river, and no one knew how many heroic souls were wandering in other places. No one complained or flinched. In this war, all you have to fight for is will. Although Tubo has a favorable geographical location, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are better than others because they have fire cannons with long range and power. Powerful, they just used their flesh and blood to block the progress of the Tang Dynasty. Every progress in society is accompanied by doubts and stubborn resistance. Every step forward in war involves life and blood, and Tang Jun is no exception. On April 3, Tuyuhun general Nuolin led 50,000 troops and raided the ferry. At the height of the fighting, the Tang army, who sneaked across at night and armed with muskets and bows and arrows, also joined the battle group. They fought fiercely all night, and eight of the Tang army were killed. At the cost of General Nuolin's arm being cut off and nearly half of the soldiers' casualties, the combined force of thousands of soldiers and Tuyuhun finally opened up the way for the Tang army to advance westward. Of course, Tubo did not take advantage of it and abandoned nearly 50,000 weapons. The corpses of elite soldiers were taken as the price. It took Hou Junji three days and three nights to transport all the troops to the other side. Then with an order, the army marched towards Luoche City in a mighty formation. "Warriors, the gods are watching us from the sky, and Master Zanpu is watching us from behind. Kill them." "Kill all these Tang dogs." "Young men, come to me." "Kill them." "Brothers, Make a great contribution today, kill." "Fight to the death!" "Swishswish" "Bang bang bang" The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are approaching. In Luoxi City, the Tubo people had no choice but to retreat, so they launched life-and-death battles on the vast plateau. The Tang Dynasty and Tubo had deep grudges, and both sides went all out in every battle. Suddenly, the plateau was filled with smoke. Cries of killing and screams are endless, battles are going on every day, and conspiracies are brewing every day. Blood has watered the land on the plateau, and corpses have piled up in the wilderness. The most violent scenes of mankind are staged here day after day. . At this time, as one of the most elite troops in the Tang Dynasty, the Yangwei Army did not participate in these actions. Liu Yuan has been around Luoxue City, constantly breaking it into pieces, secretly exploring the possible secret exit of Songtsen Gampo. When the sun went down, the people who had gone out to inquire for information came back one after another. Several leaders got into Liu Yuan's tent. Inside the tent, there was the aroma of wine and meat early in the morning. The tempting aroma of meat was the best reward for hard work. As a reward, as soon as they smelled these fragrances, everyone felt that a lot of physical fatigue was dissipated. "Come, sit down, eat and drink as you like." Liu Yuan said with a smile. The leader opened his mouth and his subordinates broke their legs. Liu Yuan stayed at the base camp every day, euphemistically saying that he was guarding the base camp and guarding Guan Yong, Hou Jun, Yuchi Baoqing, Qin Huaiyu, Zhao Fu and other people sent out to fight. News, I wait in the camp every night for my subordinates to report. Being an official is good. Seeing his subordinates all exhausted, Liu Yuan felt secretly happy. Unfortunately, he never had any useful information. Occasionally he destroyed a few patrol teams or scout teams.I don¡¯t care about the small achievements. Guan Yong was not afraid of burning it, so he pulled off a leg of lamb. While chewing it, he said angrily: "General, you have exhausted your subordinates." "That's right, when does this day end? It is better to go into battle to kill the enemy than to search aimlessly like this. " Yuchi Dingqing shook his head and said: "General, we have been searching for several days. We don't know which direction the exit is, we don't know where it is, let alone whether there is one. "Existence, general, please spare us." "Luoche City is so big. Looking for an exit that may exist without accurate direction or location is simply like looking for a needle in a haystack. The soldiers mentioned it. , even Liu Yuan felt that he was a bit pushy.
