Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 880 Regret It Was Too Late
Even so, Songtsan Gampo was not afraid, but eager to try, to see if Tang Jun was as strong as Lu Dongzan said.

As a result, try and die.

Tang Jun was not used to him at all, he dared to fight whenever he came. Songtsan Gampo personally led the army to fight Li Daoxuan three times, losing all three battles, with tens of thousands of casualties.

In the Chinese army camp, the atmosphere was very gloomy.

Songtsan Gampo looked a bit old already, and after many defeats, he aged a lot faster. People in their 20s looked like people in their 50s and [-]s.

"Everyone, I miscalculated this time. I shouldn't have provoked Tang Jun rashly. The failure is my own responsibility." Songtsan Gampo admitted his mistake.In the past few years, he has fought all over the world with invincible players in the local area, but only when he met Tang Jun did he know what it means to be strong.What he didn't expect was how Tang Jun adapted to the climate and soil here, and the soldiers under General Tang's command were not all Tuyuhun people.

He couldn't figure it out.

Shang Nang said: "Zanpu, we have to withdraw our troops immediately. We have stayed here for too long. Once the Tang army's support is in place, it will be difficult for us to escape. Moreover, I am worried that the local nobles in the country will take the opportunity to make trouble. In addition, if we fight the Tang army Both sides will suffer, I am worried that it will cause the spying of the same department of Dayang."

"Well, send someone to ask Tang Jun for peace tomorrow, just say that we have no intention of offending." Songtsan Gampo said.Until now, Songtsan Gampo didn't think that something serious would happen, he didn't believe that the Tang Dynasty would really travel thousands of miles to attack him.

Acknowledge your mistake, and you won't be afraid that the other party won't go down the steps.

The next day, the Tang army camped.

The envoy sent by Songtsan Gampo to deliver the letter has been beheaded by Li Daoxuan.

Li Daoxuan looked at the generals and said: "I have received the imperial decree, Your Majesty is very angry, and must teach Tubo a profound lesson. This battle must be fought!"

Li Dudu is currently leading troops to surround the rear of Songtsan Gampo. Our task is to hold them back and prevent them from returning.In this battle, if Songtsan Gampo can be killed, everyone will be rewarded! "

"The end will obey orders!"

Songtsan Gampo didn't wait for the Tang army to agree to negotiate a peace, but only waited for the news that Li Daoxuan led the army to attack. The two sides fought in the wilderness.The Tubo cavalry that Songtsan Gampo was once proud of were as crisp as paper in front of Tang Qi, and could be broken with a single stab.

If it weren't for the mountains here, Li Daoxuan could dispatch five thousand cavalry to attack.It's a pity that the terrain here is not suitable for a large-scale cavalry charge.Therefore, the saint sent him two thousand pairs of heavy plate armor.

"Kill!" A school lieutenant in heavy plate armor led the infantry and charged towards the Tubo army like a bulldozer.

Songtsan Gampo mobilized his horses to block the advance of the heavy plate armor army, but was caught by Li Daoxuan for an air attack. He decisively led a small number of cavalry to attack, disrupted the Tubo army's position, and beheaded twelve Tubo army generals.

At this moment, Songtsan Gampo regretted it, but it was too late. Tang Jun didn't reason with him at all, and chased him all the way to the camp of the Tubo army before giving up.

In this battle, the Tubo army suffered heavy losses, more than 7000 people died, half of them were hacked to death by the heavy plate armor army.

At this point, Songtsan Gampo decisively chose to retreat and leave the front line of Wuhai.It's a pity that Li Daliang was intercepted and killed by bypassing Dafeiling halfway.

The Tubo army protected Songtsan Gampo and resisted tenaciously, but they missed a move and were hit hard by Li Daliang.When they retreated to Xingsuchuan, only a few thousand remnants and defeated generals remained.

Songtsan Gampo regretted it too much, many of his generals died in battle, and even Shang Nang was beheaded by the Tang army during the retreat, leaving no bones.More importantly, out of the [-] soldiers and horses he set off for this expedition, only a few thousand were left after being beaten by the Tang army. This was the most unacceptable loss for him.These [-] troops are all his elite.

"Zanpu, after I come to stop you, you should respond immediately." Rulaijie said to him: "Even if Tang Jun comes, I can hold him back."

Songtsan Gampo gritted his teeth, "Be careful!"

At this time, he could only focus on escaping for his life.

Soon after, Li Daliang and Li Daoxuan joined forces to Xingsuchuan, defeated Tubo's army, and killed Rulaijie on the spot.

In this battle, the [-] Tubo army was wiped out.

Only Songtsan Gampo fled back to Luoxie with more than a dozen courtiers.

Tang Jun did not continue to pursue because there was a problem with supplies.There are many mountains and dense forests here, if they march a hundred miles in a hurry, the logistics will not be able to keep up, and they can only return sadly.

Li Daoxuan sighed: "Not at all. The terrain here is too complicated and there are too many mountains. Even if we want to fight Tubo in the future, it will probably take several years to completely occupy it."

Although he won this battle, it was not enjoyable at all.Tubo's soldiers and horses really have nothing to do with strong characters. They are very rough and have no tactics at all.

Li Daliang said: "Don't worry, Tubo is just a new tribal alliance. Songtsan Gampo has suffered such a heavy loss this time, and there will inevitably be changes in his country. Not only that, those other tribes who are spying on Tubo, such as Dayang and other tribes, will not Don’t miss this opportunity.”

"You mean, we can reap the benefits of the fisherman?"

Li Daliang smiled, "Maybe there is such a chance."

In fact, neither he nor Li Daoxuan knew that now was not the best time to attack Tubo, because they hadn't fully figured out the terrain in this area, and there was no way to find a place to establish a food transfer point.

Tang Jun is indeed very powerful and invincible, but if the logistics and supplies can't keep up, it's useless to say anything.However, there have been few people involved in Tubo, and it is very difficult to find the correct route to completely break through the Tubo royal city.

The purpose of Tubo's invasion this time is to teach them a profound lesson and let them stay calm.

This defeat really terrified Songtsan Gampo's ambition. He realized that Lu Dongzan's words were actually right, and Tubo was no match for Datang at all.The country of Dongtu has a long history and glorious culture, as well as an immeasurably large population. Tubo is still far behind.

He regretted it, and shouldn't have taken the initiative to provoke and test Tang Jun.

In other words, he himself did not expect that Emperor Tang would be so serious. He only attacked the underworld, but he was punished by Emperor Tang as a result.

It is not a problem that the 6 people were killed. The problem is that Shang Nang and Ru Laijie, two outstanding courtiers, died this time. These two people are his capable generals.

In addition, those elite soldiers and those generals who followed him in the north and south also died in the hands of Tang Jun.

All in all, one word, miserable!

The worst was yet to come. After the defeat, Songtsen Gampo received news that those tribes that had been annexed by Tubo began to rebel against Tubo's rule, and rebellions were set off everywhere.While he was busy suppressing the rebellion, he sent people to pay close attention to the Tang army's movements.

After learning that Tang Jun did not pursue further, I was relieved.But this tone has not been completely relaxed, he got the news that Hei Qiang and Da Yang invaded Tubo together.

Songtsen Gampo spurted out a mouthful of old blood, and quickly summoned ministers and mobilized the army to prepare for a life-and-death national war.

The source of a series of accidents all started with his loss to Tang Jun.If he hadn't lost so badly, he wouldn't have caused so many crises.But his defeat was terrible, and the [-] elite army was completely killed or injured.Although he still has more than [-] troops in his hands, the same department of Dayang also has hundreds of thousands of troops.Others just seized the opportunity of your failure to take advantage of the fire to rob!
While your illness is killing you, the natives in these places also understand this principle. If you seize the opportunity of the internal chaos in Tibet, many people want to get a share of the pie.

Ever since, Tubo, which was originally thriving, fell into endless wars again because of its defeat to the Tang army.

This piece of land that was supposed to be quiet has also become lively again.
