Chapter 898
Li Ke led the army in the south, blocking Lu Dongzan's way back to Bai Bize. Su Dingfang garrisoned in the north, blocking Lu Dongzan's way to Luoxie City. Now Lu Dongzan is flanked by the Tang army. What he has to do Just break out.

However, if Lu Dongzan wants to break through, there are only two roads: forward and backward, the world-famous Su Dingfang in the front, and Li Ke in the back. He doesn't want to face any of them, but he has no choice. You have to choose one to break through, so that you can survive.

Lu Dongzan also deliberated for a long time. Between Su Dingfang and Li Ke, Lu Dongzan still chose Su Dingfang, because Li Ke was the Emperor of Tang after all, and he would not be put in danger easily, and Li Ke still had [-] people under his command. The elite Beiya Forbidden Army.

It's hard to say whether Lu Dongzan's choice is good or bad, because Su Dingfang led more troops, but Li Ke's men were more skilled in fighting, and it was not easy for Lu Dongzan to fight anyone.

However, Lu Dongzan chose Su Dingfang in the end. Apart from being afraid of Li Ke's military strength, Lu Dongzan would choose this way for another reason, that is, all the troops under his command wanted to return to the army, and to kill him was to go home. Naturally, they are more positive, but if they return to Bai Bize, they will be very conflicted in their hearts.

Lu Dongzan chose Su Dingfang, which is exactly what Su Dingfang wanted to see, because Su Dingfang was more willing to meet the enemy himself than to put Li Ke in danger.

The Tubo army and the Tang army are not far away. If the Tubo army can detect the traces of the Tang army, then the Tang army will naturally be able to detect the whereabouts of the Tubo army. Immediately ordered to line up to resist the enemy.

Outside Nongge Valley, the Tang army is in position.

Su Dingfang rode his horse and stood in the middle of the army, raised his head to the north, looked into the distance, his face was solemn, and his face was full of attention, because Su Dingfang knew the importance and difficulty of this battle.

Since the Tang Army's Western Expedition, although there have been some twists and turns, it has generally been smooth, and it has never encountered a tough battle in the true sense, but the war of destroying the country is not easy, let alone what they are facing. Tubo is a big country with hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

If you want to destroy Tubo, you can use tricks, but you can't always use tricks. A frontal fight is essential. Now, this tough battle is coming.

Su Dingfang has 15 local government troops, while Ludongzan has 20 troops, which is definitely more than Su Dingfang in terms of numbers, but half of the 20 troops of Ludongzan are new troops, so the combat power is not good. It is easy to predict that no one will win this battle.

Su Dingfang looked into the distance with a serious expression, and soon, a burst of thunder sounded in the north, Su Dingfang heard the sound getting closer and louder, and Su Dingfang knew that the Tubo army was not far away.

"General, listen to the sound, the Tubo army is about five miles away." Su Dingfang's deputy general, experienced Luzhou governor Xue Guo, listened to the sound in the distance, and said to Su Dingfang.

Su Dingfang said: "Five li is not far away, and the Tubo army will arrive in one stick of incense. Send an order to the three armies to prepare for war."

"No." Xue Guo got the order and excitedly responded.

Su Dingfang's army has been stationed in Nongge Valley for some time. During these days, the soldiers under his command are just training and repairing daily. The soldiers in the army have long been exhausted from boredom. Today is finally a big battle. It is strange that Xue Guo is not excited. .

Su Dingfang looked at Xue Guo's appearance, and there was an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth. In the face of a strong enemy, in the face of a big battle, the soldiers in the army have such a reaction, which can be said to be a military spirit. This battle is at least in "Renhe" Shang Tang Jun won by a few points.

Su Dingfang said: "In today's situation, Luoxie City is already a frightened bird, and Lu Dongzan is a bereaved dog. Our Tang army has taken the lead. This is the result of His Majesty's various managements. Which one is not easy? You must wait carefully and be sure to Keep the valley road well, and don't let a Tubo pass."

For Su Dingfang, his biggest task now is to defend Nongge Valley, and then inflict the greatest casualties on the Tubo army. As long as the Tubo army cannot pass through Nongge Valley, when Li Ke's army arrives after the attack, it will be a two-sided attack In this situation, Lu Dongzan will surely lose.

Xue Guo responded straight away: "General, don't worry, the Tubo army came here to throw themselves into a trap, and the general will make them come and go."

Su Dingfang listened to Xue Guo's words, and warned: "Although the Tubo army is a bereaved dog, there are 20 people after all, so don't underestimate it."

If we only talk about the situation, the Tubo army is naturally extremely poor. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "a dog that loses its family", but after all, the Tubo army has a large number of people, and they are going back to the capital. , be careless.

Xue Guo responded: "General, don't worry, the general will know."

Xue Guo agreed, rode his horse forward, and headed in the direction of the former army.

------------

The battle is imminent, Su Dingfang on the side of the Tang army is waiting for it, and Lu Dongzan, the commander of the Tubo army, naturally dare not slacken the slightest slack in the face of the Tang army.

The Tubo army of 20 is assembled and is marching south. The goal of the march is the Nongge Valley where Su Dingfang is stationed. The Tubo army commander Lu Dongzan is leading the army ahead of the army.

"Commander, further forward is the Tang army's position. In front of the two armies, swords have no eyes. It is better for the commander to step back a little bit and stay with the Chinese army." Lu Dongzan's confidant, Garxue Nan, knew that the battle was imminent, and worried about Lu Dongzan. Dongzan's safety, pulled Lu Dongzan's horse's head, and said to Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan immediately said: "No, in today's battle, our army is attacking, while the Tang army is defending. There is no commander behind the attacking army."

Gar Xuenan continued to persuade: "The commander-in-chief is the leader of the three armies, and he cannot tolerate any mistakes. He doesn't have to take the lead, so why should he be in the front and take risks for nothing."

Lu Dongzan replied with a somewhat resolute and helpless expression: "Most of our army is logical. Most of these generals don't believe me because of the previous incidents. If I hide behind, they won't be at ease, and they won't let me go." Not to mention defeating the enemy to the death, only by being here can I make them feel at ease."

Lu Dongzan is very aware of the current situation. The current lieutenant general of the Tubo army is at odds, and there are many soldiers in the army who do not trust him. If he does not make these gestures of living and dying with the soldiers and still sits firmly in the army , It will definitely make the hearts of the lieutenant generals unstable, and there is no need to fight this battle. In order to stabilize people's hearts, he can only do this.

Gal Xuenan, after hearing Lu Dongzan's words, was very anxious because he was concerned about Lu Dongzan's safety, and wanted to persuade Lu Dongzan again, but he didn't know what to say for a while.

Lu Dongzan looked at Gal Xuenan, and seemed to be speaking to Gal Xuenan, as well as to himself.

Lu Dongzan murmured: "I have all the soldiers that Tubo can use. If I win this battle, I will be killed. After all, I, Tubo, still have the hope of retreating from the enemy. But if I lose this battle, I will be counted as alive." , even if there are ten more Ludongzan, it will be difficult to stop the defeat of Tubo, so I will not retreat in this battle."
