Chapter 1353 Wang Xuance's preparation

The war was just around the corner, and Tubo began to arrange troops. The number of troops in Tubo was small and as small as possible to support him, and handed him over to Lu Dongzan for command.

The tent is full of the unique butter tea flavor of Tubo, which Xue Rengui doesn't like very much.

Songtsen Gampo stood beside Xue Rengui and looked at the sand table and whispered: "This battle is not easy to fight. Even if the Tang Dynasty had firearms, it would be difficult to fight against the Roman army dozens of times the size of the Roman army."

Xue Rengui looked at the soldiers on the sand table and said, "The other party is a big food to fight the front. If the big food in front is not destroyed, it will be difficult for the Romans in the rear to set off."

"I don't think we can block the Roman army. Our Tubo soldiers and horses are 20,000 plus your 30,000 soldiers, a total of only 50,000, but there are 200,000 soldiers and horses!" Songtsen Gampo looked worried, "I think we can deal with them in Tubo, and there will definitely be reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty, right?"

"That's right, if we release the front line and the Dashi and Roman soldiers enter Tubo, this battle will be troublesome." Xue Rengui turned to look at another huge map and said: "Once the Tubo plains are thousands of tilted, it will inevitably become a protracted battle, which will take longer and consume more troops, horses, food and grass."

"But if you can't stop the big food, wouldn't the consequences be even worse?"

"But once it spreads out, our large-scale killing firearms are not suitable for fighting that kind of battle."

The two couldn't argue.

Xue Rengui knew Songtsen Gampo's concerns. Because of the several wars of this trade route, Tubo's vitality was seriously injured several times. From the beginning of Gu Qing's battle, Tubo was not as good as before, and his strength plummeted. Now he finally had some complexion. Songtsen Gampo knew in his heart that Tubo could no longer afford to fight and could no longer withstand the blow of a war. If it weren't for the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses, he might have retreated to the Hexi Corridor long ago.

Looking at the distance between Rome and Dashi on the sand table, the other party took the safest method. Dashi was dozens of miles away from Rome in the front and behind, and there was a distance between the two sides, which was not long or short. At this distance, even if one side had trouble, it would not have much impact on the other side, and it could also make the Rome in the rear more comfortable. In this case, it was difficult to tear a gap in the center of the two armies.

The most reliable and troublesome way to play is used.

If this mansion was really in the Roman army, he would have known that there were firearms in the Central Plains.

The two of them soon became quiet. Songtsen Gampo looked at Xue Rengui and said, "I remember that someone in the Middle Ages was named Xiang Yu. He was fighting in Julu that year."

"I don't have the courage of Xiang Yu." Xue Rengui smiled bitterly.

"If you can stop for a while, we will lose if you lose. If you lose, we will lose. I have no choice." Songtsen Gampo also said helplessly.

Tubo can only count on the Tang Dynasty now. If the Tang Dynasty was defeated in this battle, Tubo would once again go into dire straits. After so many wars over the years, Dashi's hatred for Tubo was no different from that of the Tang Dynasty. Until now, Songtsen Gampo was afraid and regretful. If Tubo was strong, all this would be a different situation and would not be as unsuccessful as it is now.

Xue Rengui said to Songtsen Gampo: "If the mansion is really in command of a battle, then he wants to use the lives of Dashi to consume our firearms. Once our firearms are used up, the Roman army will definitely take the opportunity to swallow us."

"Is the firearm sufficient?" Songtsen Gampo asked subconsciously.

"Not enough." Xue Rengui said truthfully.

As if she was exhausted all over her body, Songtsen Gampo sat on the ground with a little disappointed.

"The general is ready." Wang Xuance walked into the camp and said.

"What are you preparing?" Songtsen Gampo asked curiously.

"Night attack." Xue Rengui said to Songtsen Gampo: "I'll take you to see."

He brought Songtsen Gampo to the other side of the camp, where three thousand soldiers were tied up some firearms, and a large row of gliders were placed aside.

Looking at these gliders, Songtsen Gampo was a little puzzled, "What are these things for?"

"We have a high terrain and the wind is good these days. I plan to conduct a night attack." Xue Rengui inspected the gliders.

There were already few people in the first place, so Xue Rengui had to take out 3,000 people to attack? Faced with such a huge Roman army, shouldn't we hold our foothold at this time? With an absolutely small number of people, we have more chances of winning.

"Are you sure?" Xue Rengui asked Wang Xuance.

"I'm sure." Wang Xuance nodded and said, "We have practiced in the Hexi Corridor hundreds of times, so there will be no big mistakes."

Xue Rengui nodded and ordered the soldiers around him: "Release three hundred scouts and accompany them, and scan all the enemy scouts around him."

"yes."

Songtsen Gampo also said to Lu Dongzan: "We three hundred warriors are also sent to support us."

When Lu Dongzan received the words, he immediately made arrangements.

The army of Dashi has been gathering. The cannibals without firearms can only rely on the number of people to win this battle. They know the power of the Tang Dynasty's firearms and have suffered several losses under the Tang Dynasty's firearms. This time they prepared a large number of Indian and Persian prisoners of war to act as cannon fodder.

One night when the wind was howling, every gust of wind would stir up a wave of sand and dust. Wang Xuance brought three thousand elite soldiers in black clothes to the top of a mountain. The mountain was not high, but from here you can see the torches in the Dashi camp shaking.

Lu Dongzan watched Wang Xuance bringing three thousand soldiers in night clothes, without any swords and weapons, but with small firearms.

“What are these things used for?”

When Lu Dongzan asked curiously, Wang Xuance said with a shelf tied to the glider, "These things are called gliders, which can make people fly in the sky. We have never thought of attacking from the ground at night."

Speaking of this, Wang Xuance pointed to the night sky, "We attacked from the sky at night. Now is the crescent moon and the dimmest time. We will not notice us easily in the night sky. Even if we notice them, we don't know our location. There is no other way except for the random arrows."

Lu Dongzan looked at the glider, "When I went to Chang'an with Zanpu before, I saw the kind of thing Gu Qing did that could bring people to heaven."
