Chapter 362 The Battle of Songzhou

"Then what do you say?" Li Shimin said in a deep voice when he heard Du Ruhui's words.

"Send rescue soldiers to the Hehuang Valley to assist Chuke in guarding the Hehuang Valley just in case.

At the same time, let Chuke organize the local forces in the Hehuang Valley to support Xihai County. Compared with the people in other places, the people here are more adaptable to the environment on the plateau. "

"Yes!" Li Shimin agreed after a moment of thought, and then said, "In addition, send the news of the division of troops in Tubo to Junji. As for how to fight this battle, let Junji decide for himself!"

"Obey!" Fang Xuanling naturally agreed immediately after hearing this.

However, Li Shimin suddenly said to Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui,

"Since the battle with Tuyuhun was over, Qingque has spared no effort to put her strength into the West Sea.

Had he already anticipated this battle? "

"King Wei, the reason for this move was already explained when the Hehuang Valley was developed and Xihai County was established.

It's not so much that King Wei had anticipated this battle long ago, it's just that we didn't pay enough attention back then! "

Fang Xuanling said calmly.

Li Shimin nodded, and then said to Fang Xuanling, "Send a document to Qingque, and see what he thinks!"

"Obey!" Fang Xuanling immediately started to act upon hearing this.

Li Shimin was a little worried, "Do you think Nuohebo will make the right decision at this time?"

To be honest, the Tubo army of 30 was pressing towards Qinghai. Although the Tang army had some soldiers in Xihai County, the field army that could really be regarded as a field army was only the school soldiers left by Li Tai.

And this group of school soldiers plus the soldiers added this year, there are almost 4000 people.

It can be said that Li Shimin was glad that Li Tai had such a long-term vision, and he deeply felt that Datang did not have enough control over Qinghai!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, "I hope Nuohebo won't make a wrong choice!"

"So the governor of the king... are you here to ask for help?!" Nuo Hebo looked at the calm and confident Wang Xuance and said.

"No!" Wang Xuance shook his head and said,
"I'm here to save you, Khan, I just hope that your subordinates can use me to guard Dafeichuan together.

Otherwise, the Tubo army will drive straight in, and I won't be able to fight. At worst, I will hide in the Hehuang Valley. With Wei Wang's fancy to me, I believe that sooner or later I will be able to take charge again after the limelight.

But you Nuohebo Khan, the Tuyuhun Kingdom retreated again and again, the entire plateau of Qinghai, where is your shelter! "

"I understand this truth myself. The Tang emperor has the grace of rebuilding me. You even saved my life. Tubo is my life-and-death enemy.

Nuohebo is willing to entrust five thousand soldiers in his hands to resist the Tubo army together with the king's county guard! "

Nuo Hebo said to Wang Xuance very firmly, those eyes with bright star pupils were full of sincerity.

"In that case, please Nuohebo Khan send people to launch a statement on all the Qiang people around Qinghai.

If there are any Qiang people who do not come in this battle, then after we defeat Tubo, don't blame us for driving them out of Qinghai! "

Wang Xuance said to Nuo Hebo.

Nuo Hebo was slightly shocked, but facing the tough Wang Xuance, he really couldn't say no.

To be honest, Wang Xuance naturally knew that this kind of behavior would definitely make the Qiang people feel rebellious, and in the long run, it would definitely not be of any benefit to the rule of the Tang Dynasty and the digestion of Qinghai.

But Wang Xuance didn't care, if this war against Tubo was won, then everything would be easy to talk about.

If the war with Tubo is lost, and King Wei's investment here is in vain, then he will have no face to go back to see King Wei.

It would be better to simply die here. Under such circumstances, if the local Qiang people die, they will all die.

I have to say that Wang Xuance was really decisive when he was forced to be decisive, but being short-sighted is somewhat short-sighted, but Wang Xuance doesn't care, as long as he wins short-sighted, so what, if he loses, it doesn't matter what long-sightedness is.

Anyway, Wang Xuance had put his bargaining chips on the battle of Dafeichuan, so he would try his best to win this battle.

In fact, the Qiang people around Qinghai have received calls from the two biggest forces, Datang and Tuyuhun. Even if they really don't want to participate in the confrontation between the two great forces, Tubo and Datang, they can't help it.

If the vast majority of the Qiang people have passed, then as long as the remaining Qiang people don't go, they will be liquidated sooner or later.

After all, Tubo is not a friendly country. As for Tuyuhun and Datang, even if they are not liquidated, the Qiang people who participated must sacrifice themselves and others in order to make up for their losses.

Therefore, when these Qiang people thought of this, they knew that they had no choice.

As for the gathered alien races, Wang Xuance immediately began to train them, so that these alien races who came over could know the military order and command of his own Great Tang as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, in the past two years, Qiang tribes, large and small, have occasionally been trained with the Xuefu army, mainly to cooperate with the Xuefu army.

So this is not so much a drill, it is more accurate to say it is to let them regain their sense of being a servant army.

However, Du Chuke decisively mobilized almost [-] government soldiers to support them. To be honest, the combat effectiveness of these [-] government soldiers was barely at the level of a soldier.

But no matter how you say it, the more you solve the problem of Wang Xuance's lack of troops from his own clan, the more confident he will be in facing these alien races.

Just as Wang Xuance was in the Dafeichuan area, setting up tents, training soldiers, and waiting patiently.

At this time, Li Shimin's letter actually only took two days, and it was delivered to Li Tai as quickly as possible.

Li Tai didn't show how far-sighted he really is, but just replied to Li Shimin,

"In any case, our Tang Dynasty must drive a nail on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

Otherwise, from the Hehuang Valley all the way to Qinghai, the soldiers will inevitably have altitude sickness.

Unless someone of the Duke of Wei level leads the troops, it is really difficult for a normal general to fight Qinghai in one go. "

Li Shimin saw Li Tai's reply, but nodded thoughtfully.

At least time once again proved Li Tai's foresight. He spent his money in Xihai County and gave Datang enough time to deal with it.

Of course, in Li Shimin's view, it is Songzhou that can really solve the problem.

As long as Xihai County can delay the situation until Hou Junji completely defeats this Tubo side army, then at least this crisis can be resolved, allowing him to have more time to prepare for the next conflict.

At this time, Hou Junji also received a letter from Li Shimin, and Hou Junji handed over the letter to everyone for inspection.

"Tubo has actually divided its troops. This division of troops did not take our Great Tang Army seriously!" Li Chengqian couldn't help but said.

As for Niu Jinda, he was filled with righteous indignation just like Zhishenli, wishing to send troops immediately to teach the Tubo people a lesson.

However, Hou Junji cast his eyes on Liu Lan, and asked earnestly, "How long will it take?"

"Tomorrow, tomorrow must complete the tempering of the war department's talent!" Liu Lan said to Hou Junji seriously.

Hearing this, Li Chengqian looked at Liu Lan with a bit of boredom, and always felt that Liu Lan was a bit procrastinated in doing things.

Can't it be faster?And can't the soldiers be strong while fighting on the battlefield!

Why not take Liu Lan's headquarters to fight on the battlefield? In this case, after a war, Liu Lan's headquarters will naturally become the talent of the war department!

"Okay, then we will march into Tubo the day after tomorrow!" Hou Junji nodded at this moment, and finally made a decision.

Hou Junji is really qualified to enter the rank of 72 generals, at most he can compare himself, and then lose this opportunity.

He is very aware of the difference between whether the war department has elite talents on the battlefield, and he knows even more how dangerous it is to place hope on the soldiers to erupt before they die.

Just like this, Hou Junji would rather wait a few more days, and let his army reach its peak state.

At least Hou Junji didn't want to do anything until his army could continue to improve. After all, Hou Junji still had two days of patience.

Therefore, Hou Junji waited patiently until the next day, and ordered the soldiers to eat more food, especially the four troops with elite talents including his own headquarters, all of whom were equipped with meat. Prepare tomorrow and officially touch Tubo!
Finally, when Hou Junji was ready to fight, Li Chengqian also felt an indescribable sense of pride when he saw the Tang army rushing out of Huangsheng Pass. O army!

"Father, Datang's army came out of Huangsheng Pass and rushed towards our barracks!"

Zan Xiruo looked at the battlefield worriedly at this moment, feeling more or less uneasy in his heart.

"Xiruo Wanhu, you don't have to worry, you won't lose if you follow the prime minister!" Naxue, a Wanhu beside her, comforted Zan Xiruo.

Zan Xiruo just smiled awkwardly when he heard Naxue's words, after all, it was his first time to be on the battlefield.

At this time, Lu Dongzan didn't worry too much, but sent scouts to investigate Tang Jun's movements again.

Compared with other people who must consider the morale of the soldiers in command, Lu Dongzan clearly knows that he does not need to consider morale.

Anyway, with Danma's blessing, his soldiers will immediately break free from the negative state and become an absolutely calm state.

Of course, even Lu Dongzan does not use this skill unconditionally. There is a premise that the soldier must be a believer in the religion and believe in the goddess Danma. If this cannot be done, the soldier will not be able to calm down.

To a certain extent, Lu Dongzan played the role of a transfer station.

As long as the faith of these soldiers is not extinguished, after they activate Danma's blessing, these soldiers will be able to obtain an effect similar to calmness.

Therefore, this has nothing to do with Lu Dongzan's command or anything.

At this moment, Hou Junji brought the army to Tubo's camp, and immediately gave the order to let Niu Jinda be the vanguard.

Seeing Hou Junji's decisiveness, Li Chengqian said with a bit of worry,
"Why not destroy Tubo's barracks defenses first, but launch an attack on Tuyuhun so eagerly!"

"Reporting to the prince, because the opponent has a total of 20 fighters. Even if many of the fighters are just pretending to be numbers, they have at least 20 people. Facing such an opponent, the most taboo thing is to delay slowly! "

Hou Junji explained to Li Chengqian very seriously, but his subordinates did not slow down, and continued,

"Because not everyone can be like Wei Guogong, how many people are in his hands can be as good as his arms.

On the contrary, in the military, as the number of people continues to rise, the command ability will continue to decline! "

After hearing Hou Junji's careful teaching, Li Chengqian nodded half understanding.

But Hou Junji was full of pride at this moment, and said to Li Chengqian: "Today we will set down the camp of this small country of Tubo, and let him know what price it will pay to divide the troops in front of us!"

Between the words, Niu Jinda led his own cavalry to launch a surprise attack on Tubo's barracks!
"Cavalry siege?! What a joke!"

Looking at the scene in front of them, almost all the Tubo troops couldn't help but have this idea in their minds.

If the cavalry can easily break through the camp, then what's the point of the camp that I and others have worked so hard to build these days!
"Archery!"

Although some Tubo warriors were dumbfounded, for the Tubo Chief Wanfu, they would not let go of such a rare opportunity.

Without any hesitation, he gave an order and shot the fine Tubo arrows at Niu Jinda's cavalry!

Niu Jinda raised his head slightly, looking at the falling arrows in the sky, the corner of his mouth could not help showing a bit of disdain.

At this time, he just raised his Xuanhua ax and shouted loudly, "Come on, go faster for me!"

The arrow rain fell on the head of Niu Jinda's war department, but the arrow was about to fall less than a foot in front of any of Niu Jinda's cavalry, but the arrow was directly bounced away by the invisible qi !
Seeing this scene, the Tubo fighters who were defending were somewhat dumbfounded.

Because they have never seen the ability to eject arrows just by relying on the air.

For a moment, he was more or less shocked and speechless!
At this time, Niu Jinda rushed to the front of the Tubo army with his troops.

Without the slightest hesitation, he used his Xuanhua ax to chop directly on the thick wooden wall, and this wooden wall was directly cut off an important pillar!

"Tear me down! Take down this piece of wooden wall!" Niu Jinda shouted at the soldiers under his command.

At this time, Niu Jinda's soldiers in the headquarters, holding the saber, slashed out their own slashes one after another.

The slashing came so swiftly that the wooden wall in front of him couldn't resist the continuous slashing from Niu Jinda's headquarters.

In a blink of an eye, it collapsed with a bang!
"Haha! Ever since Lao Niu changed into a steed, his qi gang talent has become stronger!"

Hou Junji watched Niu Jinda successfully complete the task, and decisively ordered Niu Jinda's war department to withdraw and continue attacking to the left.

And the Tang army, under the command of Hou Junji, fought in the space vacated by Niu Jinda.

This army with such high morale seems to want to completely wipe out the Tubo army in one breath!
"Zan Xiruo!" At this moment, Lu Dongzan looked at the scene in front of him without any panic, but calmly said to his son.

"Yes!" Zan Xiruo quickly replied!

"Lead my headquarters and stand against the front line. As long as you don't collapse in this battle, you will be the first success!"

"Follow the order!"

No one present thought that Lu Dongzan's first order was to throw his son to the most dangerous place on the battlefield!
　It seems that if I pay another update tomorrow, I will be finished with the twelfth update.
