Six hundred and seventy-eighth Tubo's last time (2)
Songtsen Gampo's dream will be realized soon, but given that this dream was realized by the Tang Dynasty, the specific way of realizing this dream must be changed. For example, it will be transformed according to the wishes of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty's army will definitely come. However, the result will be a little different, and it will be a little different from what Songtsen Gampo expected. The Tang Dynasty's army was not here to help him restore the country...
Of course, Songtsen Gampo still thinks this way. It is precisely because of this that he has hope and can persist until now. All the Tubo regular army defenders are the same. Because they have expectations in their hearts, they persist until now. If there are no dreams and hopes, how can they persist until now?
Songtsen Gampo sat on the city wall, gasping for breath. He had just repelled a wave of attacks from the rebel alliance army, and another group of 50,000 people charged to attack the city. Now there are only 50,000 troops in Luoshe City. In order to ensure at least there are troops, even the elderly, weak, sick and disabled were brought up as cannon fodder. Every family had relatives who died in battle. It was precisely because of this that Luoshe City resisted for three more days until there was no man to use and only women left, the regular army went into battle.
The families of those who died in battle only received their Zamp Songtsen Gampo's words, "I will compensate you after I destroy the rebels." Apart from that, there was nothing, but for them, they could only get these. Songtsen Gampo did have nothing. Three days ago, Songtsen Gampo brought the last 50,000 troops to the city wall and continued to guard the Lushe City. He was already holding the idea that even if he could not defend it, he would not let the rebels get Lushe City.
Once the city is broken, five thousand troops will set fire to the city as planned, completely destroying the city, and then protecting him and his family to leave here. Seek help from other countries and fight back. Anyway, he is the king of Tubo. He has noble bloodlines and will definitely not be denied. It is ridiculous that the damn scarface actually wants to take away Zamp's position.
The rebels' attacks were still sharp. It seemed that the troops would never be exhausted. Until now, Songtsen Gampo felt that the other party had lost at least 100,000 people, but why were there still so many people siege the city? They didn't die in battle? No illness or injury? Songtsen Gampo didn't understand. But as one rebel after another climbed the city wall, he could only wave his sword and fight with the rebels.
The disadvantage of weapons is indeed very serious. The ones I have all held are wooden sticks and the iron weapons have been exhausted. Perhaps there are still a few daggers, but what is the use of daggers? The opponent can determine the advantage with one machete. His army still relies on several people to snatch a weapon to use. What a huge loss is that?
Songtsen Gampo still has weapons, and the close-fitting guards also have weapons. The guards Songtsen Gampo kept fighting with the rebels, and the city was kept guarding because of Songtsen Gampo's existence. When the rebels retreated like a tide, Songtsen Gampo sat on the city wall and kept gasping. He was so tired that he was so tired that he could hardly lift the knife in his hand. The guards next to him were also tired like dead dogs, let alone those surviving soldiers.
The aura of despair permeated the city wall.
Songtsen Gampo looked up at the gradually darkening sky. Perhaps, this time it will end soon. Perhaps, all this will have no meaning. This city, which represents the glory and glory of the Great Tubo Empire, has been completely destroyed, spiritually and physically destroyed. Even if the city is guarded, it will have no meaning except for the regime to preserve it. Will the Tang army come?
Maybe it's useless when you come, right?
However, the Tang army still appeared. Just as Songtsen Gampo expected, the dark Tang army appeared, and the iron cavalry army with almost no end appeared. The Tang iron cavalry army, which represents the strongest force of this era, appeared. The flags were flying and the horse's hooves were rumbling. Just as the two sides were rectifying the troops, both the city-guarding government forces and the rebel alliance were preparing to rest, but they did not expect the Tang army to appear at this time.
Speaking of which, Li Boyao made great contributions to the emergence of the Tang army at this time. As Suning expected, the gentleman among the second generation of Tang generals who were carefully trained by Li Jing, Li Boyao's future is unlimited. Suning believes that Li Boyao is a person like Di Qing. He received good military culture education since childhood. He grew up under the guidance of his grandfather, the best military employed grandfather, who was the best in the Tang Dynasty, and was influenced by many people. He also received two years of training in the military university. Li Boyao has indeed grown to a certain level.
During this expedition, Li Boyao was allowed to rank from fifty to five hundred soldiers just because she was ranked higher in the military academy just because she was ranked higher in the military academy, just like other students who ranked higher in the military academy, from more to less. As an intern officer, Li Boyao's first task was to take down the Shibao City. Under the influence of the right time, place, and people, Li Boyao took down the Shibao City, and then was transferred into Chai Shao's army to fight with Chai Shao.
Chai Shao is a little interesting. He is not famous because of himself, but because of his former wife, the famous female hero, Princess Pingyang, the precious sister of His Majesty Li Er. He is the son-in-law, but Princess Pingyang died very early. Chai Shao has always been single. However, he is still an important official and a general. He is very capable of using troops and is highly trusted by His Majesty Li Er. This time he went to the expedition, he ranked sixth.
Chai Shao's route was to go straight from north to south, directly towards the direction of Luosie City, and just focus on Luosie City, regardless of other places. Unlike other troops, some of them still need to go southwest first and then turn to Luosie City. So along the way, Chai Shao's army marched the fastest, closest to Luosie City. As the grandson of the war god Li Jing, he captured Shibao City with 500 people. Li Boyao, who won the first battle in his life, was very popular with him.
Along the way, Chai Shao also encountered many Tubo people blocking him, all of which were accidentally encountered. Without a map indicating the location of the enemy, he could only take his luck. Chai Shao was lucky and did not encounter too many blockers. In fact, Chai Shao also hoped that he would be the first to arrive in Lusie City and then destroy the Tubo army, enter Lusie City, and kill Songtsen Gampo. He completely eliminated Tubo, that is his greatest wish.
He attaches great importance to Li Boyao. He believes that Li Boyao is young but has a different calmness than ordinary people. He is very calm. When encountering things, he can calm down quickly to think about countermeasures. His psychological quality is very good. He is worthy of being Li Jing's grandson. He is worthy of being the person Suning has praised.
When everyone was chatting about the most anticipated person among the second generation of the Tang Dynasty generals during the military meeting, almost everyone thought that Suning was the best heir and the most powerful successor, far surpassing his peers in terms of both the record and the skills of military use. He was definitely the famous general who could take over Li Jing. However, Suning himself did not agree with it. He said bluntly that if there was someone who could take over Li Jing, it must be Li Boyao. He himself was not specialized in war, and he had many other things to do.
Li Jing, the son of the military god, was useless and a very mediocre person. However, this grandson received such praise from Suning, saying that in the future, he was not Suning, but Li Boyao, which did surprise the generals. But both Suning and Li Boyao were trained by Li Jing, so it would be fine if Li Jing was the military god himself. He also had to raise a family of military gods to inherit his reputation?
Everyone thought it was not very good. No one wanted to give the title of the number one person in the Tang Dynasty to the descendants of Li Jing's lineage. So once he heard that Li Boyao would participate in the war this time, everyone had to make a small effort and must try Li Boyao's depth. The results of the military academy do not represent the results after going to the battlefield, so they have to wait until he achieves achievements on the battlefield before they can judge whether Suning was wrong.
Facts proved that Suning was not wrong. Li Boyao is indeed a rare military genius. Every time Chai Shao encountered a battle, he would ask Li Boyao for his opinion as soon as possible and brought Li Boyao with him. In order to test whether he was Zhao Kuo and Ma Su who talked about war on paper, he also specially handed over a battle with more than 1,000 enemy troops to Li Boyao to try to command. He originally thought that Li Boyao would be so busy that he had to take action, but who knew that Li Boyao took over the command very calmly.
Command the infantry to form a military formation and move forward step by step. The cavalry moved from the two wings to the middle. The crossbow soldiers lined up in a row and used three-stage shooting method to conduct uninterrupted coverage and shooting of the Tubo Resistance Army for a long time. Since Suning used this move, the three-stage shooting method has been widely recognized by the Tang military and has been flexibly used in various battlefields. Because the gap between shooting is well grasped, it cannot escape the coverage of arrow rain until the enemy rushes out of the effective range, so the enemy suffered particularly heavy losses.
Flexible use of the order flag commands to accurately command the army's actions, and constantly use standard infantry and cavalry to cooperate to achieve beautiful stages of battle victory. Finally, the cavalry attacked the opponent on the flank, breaking through the opponent's defense in one fell swoop. The infantry army stepped forward to crush the enemy, and the crossbow soldiers lined up and shot freely. More than 1,200 Tubo soldiers were wiped out, and only three were caught and survived. The Tang Dynasty lost only more than fifty people.
When Chai Shao stepped forward to check Li Boyao's condition, he found that Li Boyao was covered in sweat and gasping heavily, looking very nervous. It seemed that he had just experienced a fierce movement. When he took Lingqi into his hand, he found that Lingqi's stick was crushed. Li Boyao was indeed very nervous, very nervous just now, but he still insisted on commanding the two thousand people he assigned to him and successfully defeated the Tubo civil army.
Good boy!
This is Chai Shao's first feeling. Although his command was a little wrong before and the connection was not perfect, for a young general who was just starting out and trying to command the army for the first time, he could already score 100 points. It is estimated that Suning will be like this in the first battle. It seems that Suning is not wrong. It is estimated that in about ten years, when his old generals retreat, the Tang Dynasty will depend on these young generals.
Suning and Li Boyao must be the best people at that time. Including Xue Rengui, Wang Xuance and Du He who graduated before, the future of the Tang Dynasty is very interesting!
After the end of this battle, Li Boyao changed a little and became more calm and calm. He also seemed orderly to kill the enemy in battle. He led his own personal guards to cooperate perfectly. Chai Shao even felt that his personal guards could not cooperate so perfectly. The division of labor of killing the enemy's defensive shooting was clear, just like a small military formation, which was particularly conspicuous on the battlefield of fighting.
Chai Shao is increasingly paying attention to Li Boyao, a young man.
Until Li Boyao told him that according to the road map, the frequency of encountering the enemy and the strength of the enemy's resistance, Chai Shao's heart beat violently, because he realized that Li Boyao's judgment was definitely not unfounded, but must be based. The Tubo Resistance Army became more and more elite, more organized, and more and more advanced, and its weapons were not on the same level as the previous wooden stick mob.
