Chapter 478 The war is in full swing
"Since there is not enough gunpowder, we can get more gunpowder. As long as we have enough quantities and use them, we can still let these Tubo people fly into the sky!"
Zhang Yi was so energetic that he was talking, but Wang Zhe didn't quite understand.
"Brother Zhang Yi, what do you mean?"
Wang Zhe also knows some of the gunpowder. Someone has used it before. It is indeed very powerful, but it is too restrictive, so it is very difficult to use it.
Zhang Yi said: "Actually it's very simple. As long as we dare to give up Qingtang City, the enemy will definitely be trapped."
"Think about it, the enemy must want to regain Qingtang City as soon as possible. No matter what Qingtang City is now, they will try their best to regain it."
"At that time, we will pretend to have a small decisive battle with them outside Qingtang City. We will fight whatever the losses will be in the decisive battle. It doesn't matter if we lose. Just lead the main force of the Tubo people to Qingtang City."
When Zhang Yi said this, Wang Zhe already understood what he meant.
"Doing this will damage your good deeds!"
Wang Zhe said that a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. This was not superstition, but a challenge to their bottom line. Zhang Yi's method was indeed a little bit insulting, and it was a bit too cruel for the Tubo people in Qingtang City.
"It damages good deeds? So what? Since you have put on the battle robe, you should try your best to kill all the enemies."
"If you are not my race, your heart will be different. These Tubo people are not worthy of our pity now. Think about the time when they killed our comrades. At that time, if they felt a little compassion, it would not cause the current situation of war between the two countries."
Zhang Yi said coldly that in war, the most taboo thing is the kindness of a woman. As a general, you must break it if you break it.
Kindness has never been what soldiers should have. Killing all the enemies in front of them is what their soldiers should do.
Wang Zhe lowered his head and pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and nodded.
No matter what, he has to win the war first. No matter what kind of infamy he bears, as long as he can get more soldiers under his command back to his hometown safely, it will be worth it.
After patting Wang Zhe on the shoulder, Zhang Yi said, "Okay, it's getting late, it's time to go back and rest."
Wang Zhe didn't say anything and turned around and went out.
He answered neatly, but he still felt a little uneasy.
But this is not the time to think about being at ease. Since gunpowder is needed next, he must have someone prepare now.
This time they did not carry gunpowder. If they wanted to use large doses of gunpowder, they had to return to their original resident in the Tang Dynasty to retrieve it. Moreover, the gunpowder at their resident must not be enough. He had to find ways to get some from other channels.
It will take a few days to get so much gunpowder. In these few days, they will have to find a way to hold back the Tubo army.
Fortunately, what we arrived tomorrow was the vanguard army of the Tubo army, and there was no big threat. After their main army arrived in the future, we had to be careful.
After returning to the military tent, Wang Zhe immediately arranged for people to rush back overnight to raise gunpowder.
The next day, Wang Zhe took the Tang Dynasty border troops out and set up traps near Qingtang City. At the same time, some soldiers were left to arrange fortifications around Qingtang City.
If anyone who is unaware of this situation will definitely think that Wang Zhe is planning to defend Qingtang City to the death, and Wang Zhe knows that he needs to delay for three days now!
In the afternoon, the Tubo vanguard army rushed to Qingtang territory.
However, the Tubo cavalry did not dare to attack the Tang army, and they did not dare to be so reckless, because the Battle of Qingtang had spread the reputation of the Tang border army. Now the Tubo people rarely dare to directly conflict with the Tang army.
If you want to fight, at least you have to wait until their main force arrives before you can fight. Now your troops are less than 10,000. If you fight, it will probably not be enough for those Tang troops to take the blame.
The Tubo Pioneer Army honestly set up camp fifty miles away from Qingtang City.
However, they did not dare to attack the Tang army, but they could first prepare for the arrival of the main Tubo troops, such as first investigating intelligence and resettling camps for them.
However, their failure to attack actively does not mean that the Tang army just lets them ignore it.
When the Tubo Pioneer Army was Anzha Camp, Wang Zhe organized tens of thousands of Tang cavalry teams to carry out a wave of charges.
Although the Tang army's cavalry appeared in advance, the Tubo vanguard army was still very passive, especially when the troops were not superior, they could not get any benefits.
After a fierce battle, the Tubo people had to throw down nearly a thousand bodies and escape.
If the main Tubo troops did not arrive, the Tang army must take advantage of this time to repair these Tubo vanguard troops. At least they must be afraid of them and show their own prestige!
After the Tubo people retreated, the Tang army chased after dozens of miles and killed several Tubo cavalry teams until the Tubo vanguard army was defeated thousands of miles away.
“It’s so exciting.”
"Yes, these Tubo people bullied our Tang Dynasty so violently some time ago. Now we are so angry."
The Tang soldiers spoke one after another during the return journey. The battle was very satisfying. Seeing the Tubo people being beaten to the point of falling, each of them was extremely happy.
After defeating the Tubo vanguard army, Wang Zhe and the others bought another day.
However, the day after the Tubo vanguard ran away, the Tubo people who were beaten away yesterday made a comeback. This time, behind them was a 100,000 Tubo army.
With the backstage and confidence, the Tubo cavalry, who were beaten to cry yesterday, dared to come up and provoke him at this time.
However, Wang Zhe did not let the soldiers go to war. To be on the safe side and to delay time, he directly sent a letter of war to the general of Tubo.
Challenge of war books was a very common method in ancient times, but by the Tang Dynasty it gradually became less popular.
However, Wang Zhe still wrote a letter of war to the generals of Tubo, which agreed that they would fight to the death outside Qingtang City in three days.
What Wang Zhe needs to do now is to be vigilant, defend well, and then wait for the Tubo side to reply.
What he was worried about was that the Tubo side would disagree with his challenge, and he was also afraid that the Tubo people would attack them directly the next day, so that he would have to lead the soldiers of the Tang border army to fight the death of these Tubo people.
He must ensure that the defense line cannot collapse before the gunpowder is transported to Qingtang City.
