Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 571

The reality is always cruel. It took less than a day for Su Dingfang to conquer the heavily fortified city of Asong. Then the three deputy chiefs led their troops to launch a tidal chase against the Tubo army. The soldiers of the Tang army As if with inexhaustible strength, he kept using the weapons in his hands to reap the worthless lives of the Tubo people.

Youdao said that the army was defeated like a mountain. If you have not experienced it on the spot, you will not understand what kind of tragic scene it is.It is good for a horse to tread like mud. If it dies, at least it will end up simply. Those who have severed limbs and have no one to help them can only wait for death are the real despair.

One day and one night later, near Tashiqu, the Tubo general Zalexin led a hastily built defense line with 5 people and launched a tragic and unusual blocking battle with Su Dingfang's three tribes.The attack speed and sharpness of the Tang army were greatly delayed, so that the chasing army had to stop and pull out this nail.

After wandering around the battlefield, Li Chengqian and Chang Shi Su Shichang returned to the central army, and ordered the guards to prepare some food for them to eat, while discussing the current situation on the battlefield and the results of yesterday's battle.

The first one to reply was Joining the Army Laiji. He summarized the results presented by various ministries: In the battle of Asun City, more than 200 people were beheaded, and [-] people were captured. There are no prisoners, and the military supplies such as horses, cattle, sheep, and tents seized by various ministries during this period are worthless.

According to the calculation of the soldiers and horses in Lu Dongzan's hands before, except for the 5 people in front of him, the number of people fleeing with the old boy Xiang Sedi now is only half of the previous number.

"Prince, judging from the current situation, the Tubo coach Lu Dongzan has led a group to flee, and the remaining ones are just to delay the time for the dead. The purpose must be to join the army of Sedi, and then join the northern army." The troops on the front line attacked Li Daliang's troops together, and finally retreated back to the country calmly."

Su Shichang held the leg of lamb, and gesticulated while eating in front of the sand table.He used to be a fastidious person, and he was fastidious about eating, but since he followed the prince, many things have been reversed, including eating and sleeping, because the chief executive has always been busy at any time, summoned at any time, and did not give him any time to stop. ah!

After listening to Su Shichang's analysis, Li Chengqian nodded, and then returned lightly: "Is it okay to borrow three stones of millet and return one stone? Lu Dongzan is not a fool, of course he knows what Gu wants, so this guy came here for a while." Recruit strong men to cut off their wrists, leave these troops to us, and slow down our offensive.

Then he calmly arranged the second line of defense to preserve the country and troops.Well, he is a flexible and ruthless character. With such a generous gift delivered to his lips, whether to eat or not is a problem. "

Massive and effective killing of the enemy is of course the best. Lu Dongzan also backhanded him, and put a salty fish in front of Li Chengqian. Anyway, the food is on the table. It’s up to you to eat it or not. That's what Datang meant. This is the so-called "following the plan", and it also makes the opponent have to act according to his plan.

"Brother, Lu Dongzan's old fox is so cunning. Who would not eat such delicious bait? According to the rules of our court, beheadings are used to make meritorious deeds, and common people are named lords. Military merit is measured by the number of beheads. It's about seven inches."

After Li You finished speaking, Su Shichang took the words back again: "That's right, what King Qi said is very true. Compared with the color land, the Tubo army in front of you is like chicken ribs. There is no meat to eat, but there is meat to discard. It's unstoppable!
After pondering for a while, Li Chengqian turned around in front of the sand table again, and said in a deep voice: "Our army is very tired, but the enemy army is even more tired. The reason for this battle is to see who can hold the last stick of incense. I want to eat this fish, but I can't let him calmly retreat to rest before attacking the exhausted Li Daliang."

During the conversation, Li Chengqian turned around and said to the three brothers of the Xue family who were feasting on the side: "Mr. Yong'an County is your real brother. It is very appropriate to entrust you with such a job. Immediately send your horses and Chinese soldiers who have been running for a day. Make a change, then bypass Tashiqu, pass through Vasong, and arrive at Sedi, the base camp of the Tubo army, so that they can't rest day and night, so as to reduce the defensive pressure of Li Daliang and Xue Wanjun's troops."

kindness?Hearing what the prince said, the three brothers immediately put down the food in their hands, and bowed to accept the order with simple and honest smiles on their faces.Brothers fighting tigers, father and son soldiers in battle, Xue Wanjun has already had a hard time guarding Maiwa, and if he doesn't rescue him, he may not be able to catch up.But the crown prince is strict in governing the army. If he doesn't say anything, who would dare to say anything?

Just when the three brothers of the Xue family were about to leave the big tent, King Qi Li You stood up and pleaded solemnly: "Brother, I request that you and the three generals carry out the attack and pursuit mission together." Guarding the Chinese army, they didn't do anything.If we go back to Chang'an, people will ask how many people King Qi killed before the battle?Let's just squat in the middle of the army to watch the fun, isn't this a joke?

"His Royal Highness King Qi, the old minister sees that you should protect the Chinese army well. The son of a daughter will not sit still, old minister."

Before Su Shi could finish his long speech, Li You interrupted him impatiently, and replied with a stiff neck: "Old Su, can you stop talking nonsense? My father and brother are the masters who have personally experienced battles and fought on the battlefield. As a descendant of the Li family, shouldn't you be loyal to your father and brother?"

"Okay, take a thousand fine riders with you in the Chinese army, and remember to follow General Xue Wanshu's instructions in everything, otherwise there will be no next time." Li Chengqian waved his hand, and after dismissing the four people, he continued to look at the leg of lamb on the plate. Chewing on it, he didn't pay any attention to Su Shichang's stinky face.

"My crown prince, what do you think, King Qi goes into battle, if something goes wrong, how can you explain to His Majesty!"

Glancing at Su Shichang, who was anxiously pale-faced, Li Chengqian said lightly: "What are you explaining? It's not the first time for the fifth brother to go into battle. Since you choose to be a general, you have to accept this fate. You go to the sixth rate to see, there are hundreds As for the children of the clan, it’s not the same as fighting the battlefield, others can do it, why can’t the lonely brother!”

During the conversation, he put down the leg of lamb in his hand, wiped his hands, and said: "Hey, to be honest, Gu is very envious of him. He gallops on horses, enjoys grievances and enmity, and he comes as he pleases. According to Gu's previous temper, I must go to battle and fight, but now I can't, as a father, I have to think twice about everything."

"Laiji, Chuangu's commander-in-chief ordered the attacking troops in front to attack day and night. It took two days to conquer Zhaxiqu and wipe out the Tubo army who steadfastly stood there. , engaged in military law."
