Chapter 41: The Battle of Nong Google

Tubo is located on the plateau. Although the land is not poor, its national strength is not a little weaker than the always-rich Central Plains.

The entire Tubo government had only one million people. Apart from women and young people, there were only three or four hundred thousand soldiers who could fight under the army. Even the largest Tubo battle to destroy Xiangxiong, the Tubo government called only one hundred thousand people.

The scale of more than 100,000 people is only common for the Central Plains in chaotic times, but it is already a national war for Tubo, not to mention the current battle between the two sides, which often takes more than 300,000 yuan.

Outside Nongge Valley, Tubo and Tang Army faced each other, and 350,000 troops gathered outside Nongge Valley. If Li Ke's troops were included, the number of people in this battle would exceed 400,000, which was the most participants in the Plateau history.

This battle was not only a battle that determined the life and death of Tubo, but also a battle that witnessed the Tang Dynasty reaching its peak of prosperity. No one would retreat in this battle, so both sides had no need to say much, just a meeting was a fight.

On the Tubo army, as they saw that the Tubo soldiers who had been away for a long time washed away the Tang army like rolling rocks, trying to crush the Tang army that was blocking in front of them and open up the way back to Luoshe.

Although the Tubo was fierce, I thought about Nongge Valley, but the Tang army was not easy to deal with. The Tang army was not a stone block that blocked the water. Faced with the torrent of the Tubo army, the Tang army actually crossed the Nongge Valley like a big gate, blocking the way of the Tubo army, making them unable to make progress.

The 200,000 Tubo army was the Nongge Valley that arrived before noon. Fang and his team began to attack outside the valley and wanted to break through the Tang army's front. However, the Tang army was strictly guarded and was not afraid of death. The two sides fought back and forth in Nongge Valley, and they fought for an inch of land. After a long time of war, there was no big difference compared to the beginning.

The Tubo army attacked from before noon to afternoon, and then attacked from afternoon to dusk. After three hours, they still failed to step past Nongge Valley and were stuck outside the valley by the Tang army. Gradually, even the sky became dark.

"Master, the general has been attacking for a long time, and the soldiers have suffered heavy casualties, but they have not yet been able to defeat the enemy. Please ask the general to make an idea. If this continues, I am afraid that the entire army will be wiped out." Chi Mu, deputy general of the Tubo army, looked at the still anxious situation and praised Lu Dong anxiously.

The Tubo army was the main attacker, and the Tang army was the guard. If the Tubo army wanted to defeat the Tang army, they could only rush forward with the Tang army's guns and arrows. The Tubo army's military armor was not very good, so the Tang army killed the Tubo army very much.

Since the battle before afternoon, in just half a day, the Tubo army's casualties have exceeded 60,000. If this trend continues, this battle will probably fill up more than 100,000 lives. How could Chi Mu not be anxious?

Lu Dongzan looked at the Tubo army fighting not far away. Every minute and every second, the Tubo soldiers lost their lives. Lu Dongzan's face turned pale and cold and terrifying. He knew that Chi Mu was saying the truth, but he had no choice. This was the only way. He could not see kindness and pity in his eyes, but there was only persistence.

Lu Dongzan replied calmly: "Now Su Dingfang is in front and Li Ke is in back. If we want to go back, we have no choice. When you forced me to produce Bai Bize, you should know the consequences and be prepared for this."

Chi Mu suddenly became silenced by Lu Dongzan's words. Lu Dongzan was right. At the beginning, Chi Mu forced Lu Dongzan to lead the troops to reconcile. This was also the meaning of the soldiers in the army. Now the Tang army is blocking the road, and they are facing their own choices.

After a while, Chi Mu said, "The general has been marching for many years and is well versed in the art of using troops. Is there no other way?"

Lu Dongzan gritted his teeth and said, "If I were in Baibize at this moment, I had my own way, but now the two armies are fighting in the valley road, and there is no shortcut. What else can I do except for a head-on attack? The Tang army's position is already a little messy, and if I persist, there will be hope of breaking it."

Chi Mu listened to Lu Dongzan's words and knew that Lu Dongzan was still in trouble. Even if he had any pain, he could only swallow it himself. He did not let go of it and retreated.

Outside the Nongge Valley, the battle between the Tubo and the Tang army was extremely anxious. The Tubo side suffered heavy casualties. Although the Tang army was not as serious as the Tubo army, it was difficult to get the whole body. The Tang army's losses were enough to make Su Dingfang feel hurt.

Since the war began, although the Tang army formed a formation to defend, the casualties were not bad at first, but the Tubo army came in a fierce manner and attacked at all costs. The formation of the Tang army behind it was also very powerful, so it was inevitable that death and injury would be caused.

In the past half a day, the Tang army's casualties reached more than 20,000, and the Tang army's current positions were in chaos. The Tang army had begun to fight against the Tubo army in close combat, and the Tang army's casualties would be accelerated with the naked eye.

"General, I didn't expect that the Tubo army was just a few barbarians in the southwest, but they were brave in fighting, which was really beyond the expectations of the last general." The General of the Left Wu Guard, Qi Biheli, stood behind Su Dingfang, and looked at the Tubo army that had lasted for half a day and still had an offensive.

Su Dingfang said: "Although the Tubo army is not as good as our army, there are many new troops among them. However, Tubo is still martial, similar to our Tang Dynasty Guanzhong, and even more so. All the soldiers in the country are proud of their deaths in battle, so they can do so."

Qi Bi Heli sighed: "If this is the case, this battle is probably not easy."

Su Dingfang clenched his fists and said firmly: "Although this battle is not easy, the victory is still in my Tang Dynasty. My Tang Dynasty refused to defend the battle and waited for work. Although the number of Tubo people was the best, he was running around for days. As long as he survived the Tubo army's offensive, he could wait for an opportunity to counterattack."

Upon hearing this, Qi Bi Heli responded immediately: "If the general is assigned, please give orders, and the left and right Wuwei is willing to die for the general."

Li Ke and Su Dingfang divided the troops, and most of the imperial guards in the Tang army were taken by Li Ke. Most of the commanders of Su Dingfang were local government troops, but among the 150,000 troops of Su Dingfang, there were also 20,000 imperial guards, which were the left and right military guards led by Qibing Heli.

Su Dingfang and Lu Dongzan confronted each other. Although Su Dingfang was the defender, he did not just stick to it. He was waiting for a suitable opportunity. When the Tubo army was not strong in combat, he would turn around and lead the left and right military guards to rush out and break through the Tubo army.

Su Dingfang said: "General Qibi is enough to have this intention, but it is not the best time now."

The troops on the left and right Wuwei were Su Dingfang's last trump card. If he wanted to play, he must kill the Tubo army at one time. He would not take it out easily early, otherwise it would not have the effect he expected.

"No." Qi Bi Heli responded when he heard this.
