The third emperor of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 770 Lesson learned, strategy westward

At the turn of the application, the soldiers of the Ertu coalition barracks received an order to be on guard. They were on guard inside the barracks, and soon some of their own soldiers fled back in embarrassment. Behind them was an iron armor stained red with blood. The cavalry, they assassinated Feicha like devils, they were invincible, they killed the rout soldiers and fled in all directions, crying to the sky.

Langri Zanpu, who had fled back earlier, had no time to feel sad, so he took over the command. He knew that the defense of the barracks was not strong. If the enemy broke in, the unprepared coalition forces were likely to collapse. Seeing that the enemy did not stop He came rushing to kill the defeated soldiers, his eyes flashed with pain, and he ordered coldly: "Shoot the arrow."

Suddenly the horn sounded, and the sound shook the world.

Although some of our own troops were defeated before the barracks, the military order fell like a mountain, and the [-] to [-] coalition soldiers all over the barracks couldn't bear it, so they could only shoot arrows at the same time.

Tens of thousands of arrows shot at the defeated army a hundred paces away, covering the sun like locusts, and shot into the chaotic soldiers like locusts.

These remaining rout soldiers didn't have any sense of defense. In a short while, countless people were shot and fell off their horses. Horseshoes stepped on them, and their flesh was bloody.

The rout soldiers were stunned, and they turned around and ran for their lives in panic. At this moment, rows of arrows rained down, but the Sui army who was chasing behind saw them and fled back, and immediately intercepted them with arrows.

There was no way out, and there were chasing soldiers behind. The defeated Tubo soldiers fled for their lives to the left and right.

"The two wings catch up and kill the rout!"

Before the army formation, Yang Tong shouted loudly and the horn blew.

Nearly [-] elite Sui troops on the two wings received combat orders and rushed towards the defeated army with great momentum. They were well-trained, their morale was high, and they were full of murderous intent.

On the other hand, most of the Tubo troops in front were exhausted and terrified. They were soon overwhelmed by the Sui cavalry rushing in like a tide, and the chaotic defeat became even more chaotic.

We can't go any further, because the corpses of the rout soldiers more than ten steps away are filled with arrows like hedgehogs, and if we go any further, we will suffer heavy losses.

Looking at the enemy camp in front of him, Yang Tong sighed regretfully. He wanted to drive the rout soldiers into the camp and take advantage of the opportunity to take down the camp here, but the enemy general was also a ruthless person and shot arrows at the rout soldiers. , causing them to lose their natural shield.

Seeing that it was almost done, Yang Tong stopped the off-string arrow lightly, then slowly reined in the horse, and gave the order for the whole army to cease fighting.

Yang Tong took off his mask, revealing a handsome face, as if he was just a scholar.However, he was full of murderous intent, aloft like an eagle looking down on the world, with a sarcasm smile on the corner of his mouth, pointing forward, his dantian depressed, and shouted loudly: "The emperor of the Sui Dynasty, the sage Khan is here, the bandit army dares to come again!" Whether to fight or not."

"Emperor Sui and Saint Khan are here, will the bandit army dare to fight again..."

"The emperor of the Sui Dynasty and the saint Khan are here, will the bandit army dare to fight again?"

"The emperor of the Sui Dynasty and the saint Khan are here, will the bandit army dare to fight again?"

All the soldiers who heard Yang Tong's voice cheered like a tsunami.They heard the horns of the whole team and gathered in the middle.

The Xuanjia soldiers around looked straight at Yang Yu, who was soaked in blood, and looked at this man who was holding a blood-dripping horse, and his waist was as straight as a spear. Full of admiration and worship.

This is not only the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, but also the military spirit and soul of the Sui army that never gives up and never retreats.

"Do the bandits dare to fight again?"

"Do the bandits dare to fight again?"

"Do you dare to fight again?"

"..."

The sound of a tsunami and mountain roar went straight to the sky, causing a slight commotion in the Tubo army.

"Is this person Sui Emperor Yang Tong?" Langri Zanpu asked Lu Dongzan with a serious face.

"It's this person." Lu Dongzan replied bitterly.

Lu Dongzan also didn't expect that Yang Tong, as the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, would go into battle like a fierce general to kill the enemy.

Many of their Tubo warriors died at his hands. If Thumi Sambuza hadn't blocked the gun with his life, Langri Zamp would have died as well.

If he had known this, he should have commanded all the fierce generals to kill him on the battlefield, but Yang Tong came prepared, wearing a hideous mask, who knew he was the emperor?Unexpectedly, the well-mannered Emperor of the Sui Dynasty went to the battlefield, as if he was a different person, he was so crazy.

"The Great Sui God of War deserves his reputation." Langri Zanpu narrowed his eyes and looked at the arrogant Yang Tong, and said something more pertinent.

Lu Dongzan asked: "Zanpu, what should we do now? Should we send out the whole army to trap and kill Yang Tong here?"

Langri Zanpu's heart moved, but seeing the dignified expressions of the soldiers around him, he sighed and said: "This is not a good opportunity for a decisive battle, so stick to the camp."

"Of order." Lu Dong praised.

Although he was unwilling in every possible way, he also knew that it was not a time of war. After all, after this battle, his side would not only lose [-] elite soldiers, but also countless capable ministers and generals. the dilemma.However, the morale of the Sui army was high, and there were fewer soldiers, and they were eaten up by the opponent. If all the troops were sent out, the opponent would not be able to defeat them. Could it be that they could not turn around and return to the army?
Seeing that the Tubo army had no intention of fighting again, the Sui army did not clamor. Just like last time, in front of tens of thousands of Tubo allied forces, they took away the ownerless horse, cut the horse's corpse in half, and hung it on the On the back of the empty horse, just like this crossed to cover the retreat.

Langri Zanpu took a deep look at the flamboyant Sui army, whipped his horses vigorously, and turned to the tent of the Chinese army, with tears in his eyes and humiliation in his heart, but at this moment he didn't even dare to turn his head.

I lost.

It was a big defeat and a loss. Although not all of the [-] troops died in the battle, many people were clearly alive, but because of his order, they all died under the arrows of their own army.

These are the bravest fighters in Tubo.But no matter how painful it is, it can only be endured silently.

Because the whole army is looking at him, and they all need to make up their own minds.

Lu Dongzan, Murong Xiaojun and others thought about it, and they all rode their horses to follow.

Everyone stepped into the big tent of the Chinese army, looking at each other without saying a word.

"There is no ever-victorious army in the world, so you don't have to be depressed." After a long time, Langri Zanpu looked down at the generals, and said in a deep voice: "Although the generals of the Sui army are brave, marching and fighting cannot be accomplished by one person. Next time , we don’t need to fight with him.”

In this battle, Tubo lost more than 30 strong generals, including Niang Chisang Yangdun, Zhisai Dangru Gongdun, Niang Shangju, etc., and lost the titans who charged into the battle, and the strength of the Tubo army dropped sharply.

But it was Thonmi Sambuza who died on his behalf that made Lang Zanpu feel like a knife.

When Langri Zanpu was still a tribal leader, he wanted to promulgate decrees to restrain his people, and translate Buddhist scriptures to replace the powerful stupid religion, but Tubo has no written language, and without written words, he can't do anything, let alone turn the plateau All ethnic groups are integrated together to establish a culture with a long history.

So the first thing he did after inheriting Zanpu was to send a group of geniuses to Tianzhu to study culture. A group of [-] young people carried a lot of gold, passing through the restricted area of ​​exotic birds and beasts, overcoming the discomfort of the tropical climate, and arriving in Tianzhu to visit teachers and friends , studied under Tianzhi Lion and Brahman Lijing, learned Sanskrit and Tianzhu characters, and studied Buddhism intensively.

But Tubo is located on a high plateau, with criss-cross mountains and dense river valleys. From here, it is no less than a thousand miles away from Tianzhu.Therefore, there is only one Thonmi Sambuza left after studying and returning to China.

When he returned to Tubo, he began to create Tubo's own writing on the basis of Zhang Zhung culture, drawing on the advantages of writing in Tianzhu and other countries.However, he wanted to learn more about the characters of the Central Plains, so he also came to see and see. Who would have thought that people would die before many characters were invented.

This also means that the creation of Tubo characters has been completely interrupted, and no one can complete it anymore. The only way is to send people to Tianzhu and Nibala to study again.

however……

This will take another ten years.

Maybe Langri Zanpu will never be able to use Tubo script in his life, and use Tubo script to promulgate laws and systems.

But Thonmi Sambuza had died and had a far-reaching impact, and it was too late for Lang Zamp to regret it.

"Zanpu, victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. We still have more than [-] troops. It is not difficult to defeat the Sui army. Moreover, from this battle, we not only see the strength of the Sui army, but also know that Yang Tong is a man who likes to charge forward. Man, next time, we can kill him in a war. Once Yang Tong dies, the Sui Dynasty will be in chaos." Seeing that Langri Zanpu was depressed, Lu Dongzan quickly persuaded him.

"That makes sense." Long Zamp nodded and asked, "What do you think we should do now?"

"Zanpu. Now that the main force of the Sui army is here, it is unwise to fight the Sui Dynasty head-on." Lu Dongzan saluted and said, "The Sui Dynasty has not yet been unified, so Yang Tong's focus is still on the internal disputes of the Sui Dynasty, so Yang Tong's army can't last long, and we are eager to fight our army decisively, and we only need to continue to take the defensive position to make them retreat."

"defensive?"

Langri Zamp was a little dissatisfied.

"I mean attacking east and west. From time to time, we will go to attack Jishiguan to contain the main force of the Sui army here, while the main force of our army will quietly move to the west, occupy Doma with absolute force, and then enter Liangfeichuan, Jishi The pass will be broken without attacking. Yang Tong has been attacked by the enemy, so he can only retreat to the north. Our army only needs to destroy everywhere, and the Sui army will be exhausted." Having said this, Lu Dongzan glanced at Murong Xiaojun, and then said: "Heyuan and Xihai are both the old places of Tuyuhun. There should be many tribes who are interested in Tuyuhun. If our army goes deep into the West Sea, the Khan can mobilize all the tribes to harass the Sui army and cut off their food supply. Once this step is completed, the If the Silk Road of the Sui Dynasty could be cut off, and the Western Regions would be suppressed vigorously, then the Sui army would still be in the east at that time, and Zanpu could take advantage of the trend to occupy the Western Regions and the Hexi Corridor, and form a line with the Eastern and Western Turks to form an anti-Sui alliance."

Langri Zanpu got up immediately and said loudly: "Send my order to gather [-] coalition troops, commanded by Lu Dongzan, and immediately send Doma to help!"

"The last will obey."

Lu Dongzan looked excited and responded with a bang.
