Chapter 460 King Harsha’s Confidence

"Your Majesty! The reason why the Han people dare to invade us is because they are sure of victory. We cannot underestimate them. If your Majesty is defeated, the Kingdom of Tianzhu will cease to exist and become slaves of the Han people like the Koreans!"

"We can force the Arabs to send troops. If we fail, they will be no better. They know how powerful they are and will definitely send troops as soon as possible!"

"We can also find the remaining Turks, make peace with them, and let them move south from the north of the Tang Dynasty to cooperate with us!"

"This way we will be sure of victory!"

The one who spoke was the priest, and indeed he had two brushes and saw the general situation very clearly!

In fact, everyone understands what he said, but no one wants to say it. After all, this is to boost other people's ambitions and destroy one's own prestige. A majestic Tianzhu, protected by gods and Buddhas, has to rely on other countries for help, and it is always on its own The despised Arab barbarians.

"As long as we ask the Arabs to move eastward and the Turks to move northward, our gods will definitely protect us and win! Your Majesty will never have a duel with them at this time!"

The Kshatriya said: "I heard that their general came to sue for peace, and there was also Master Xuanzang. Your Majesty, why don't we send envoys to Chang'an. We are willing to sue for peace, so that we can wait until the arrival of the Arabs. "

This was to delay waiting for help. King Harsha thought over and over again and said: "Your ideas are all good, but I must defeat their envoys and generals first. If not even one envoy can be defeated, the Arabs will come, and the Arabs will come." They will look down on us. Only when you win is the beginning of everything. Without victory, nothing is possible! Buddha said that he only bless those who are capable!"

King Harsha did not rule out asking the Arabs for help immediately, and agreed to make peace with the Turks, but at the same time he also wanted to fight with Wang Xuance.

This is due to his character, because he has led troops since he was a child and rarely failed, which has developed his proud character.

King Harsha decided to fight, so everyone discussed the strategy of fighting. Because Wang Xuance liked to be flexible, and in order to deal with Wang Xuance, he could not move around, so they decided to divide the army into three groups.

From the left, center and right, three directions advanced together to oppress Wang Xuance.

A total of more than 120,000 troops from Luojia were sent to attack Tang and the original Heluo defenders were on the left. King Harsha personally led 300,000 troops on the middle route, and Mukri was ordered to lead 150,000 troops on the right from Huashi City.

If we advance in three directions in this way, we won't be afraid that Wang Xuance, the envoy and general, will fly away.

King Harsha personally led the army, and the other two groups did not dare to neglect and stepped up their advance as planned.

At this time, Wang Xuance had arrived in the Mathura area north of Hasnap City. This is the area where mountains and plains meet, with mountains on the back and the entire plain of Tianzhu in front.

Wang Xuance was sitting in the Chinese military tent. Reports of the enemy situation in the past few days came one after another, and every move of King Harsha was put on the record.

Fan Xian and Jiang Shiren were both a little nervous. They were facing the Third Route Army this time, and the oppression was becoming more and more urgent. The space for them to move around was increasingly tight, forcing themselves to face them head-on.

Moreover, the three route armies have a total of 600,000 people. One against ten is simply one against one hundred.

Both of them felt withdrawn and advised Wang Xuance to stop as soon as he saw the situation, and the three of them were not sent by the imperial court to officially fight.

Even if he retreats, the court won't say anything.

But Wang Xuance seemed to be addicted to fighting. It was boring to be a civil servant, but it was more fun to be a general.

Wang Xuance never thought of going back.

After a few battles, he saw that Tianzhu's combat power was really not very good. He felt that their marching and fighting were a bit stiff, like a novice, and they were worse than a scholar who had never fought in a battle.

Moreover, the imperial court asked him to go to see King Harsha, but the task was not completed until he saw him, so he would not be willing to retreat.

Wang Xuance said: "We can retreat to the Doban Mountain area, where the terrain is useful. We still won't fight them head-on, we will drag them on!"

Fan Xian said: "It's just that military rations are a problem!"

"I have thought about this. There are many tribes in Doban Mountain. If they are willing to serve our army, that's it. If they are not willing, the soldiers can do whatever they want!"

Wang Xuance was unwilling to retreat, so the three thousand men decided to fight to the death.

According to Wang Xuance's plan, the three thousand people slowly retreated into Duoban Mountain, only waiting for their three-pronged army to attack.

The terrain here is not good and very steep, which is obviously not conducive to the movement of the army. It depends on whether King Harsha dares to come. When they arrived at Mount Doban, three thousand people were active in the surrounding area. If they did not leave, they would only send out men and horses to collect grain every day. The tribes who were unwilling to support looted and killed all of them.

In this way, the tribes or villages and towns encountered later will be willing to worship the Tang army.

Three thousand people are not many, but it is easy to find food.

It's just that the food here doesn't taste that good.

It is normal for soldiers to starve to death when they are hungry and to die of satiation when they are full. The hardships and blessings are all so exciting.

Less than half a month later, the sentry came to report that the Third Route Army was more than two hundred miles away. At their speed, it could take three days.

The fastest one was Luo Jiafutan, who had been following behind. The former army was only more than fifty miles away.

To retreat at this time, we have to enter the Shiva Kingdom and then cross the snow-capped mountains back to Tubo, which is obviously impossible.

Before the war, Wang Xuance allowed the soldiers to party all night, feast on the stolen food, and use all the stolen women...

Soldiers were also allowed to beat slaves for fun.

On the second day, according to Wang Xuance's estimation, Luo Jia's bombardment should be the first to engage in battle. Three thousand men and horses moved as a group to ambush at the foot of the spotted mountain where Luoja's bombardment must pass.

Wang Xuance personally commanded this battle. If this battle was won, Tianzhu's strength would be destroyed and the entire Tianzhu would no longer be defended.

Because the entire Tianzhu army came.

Three thousand versus six hundred thousand, which has never happened before in history. Wang Xuance and all the officers and soldiers were inexplicably excited.

If this battle is won, three thousand people can enjoy a country. This idea is in the hearts of all the soldiers.

Wang Xuance also spread the word that as long as King Harsha is defeated here, Tianzhu will belong to everyone.

It does belong to everyone, because the court did not let them fight, and they fought it off themselves.

As for rewards, this reward cannot be greater.

Three thousand people were quietly ambushing in Doban Mountain. No one moved casually. Everyone regarded themselves as a general and felt that they had a heavy responsibility.

Wang Xuance stood on the big bluestone protruding from the mountainside. Fan Xian and Jiang Shiren went to direct it personally.

"Report! The enemy is advancing towards our position and has not found us!"

Wang Xuance said quietly: "I know, let's explore again!"

"Report! The enemy's front troops have entered our army's ambush circle!"

"Tell Jiang Shiren and Fan Xian to let the former army pass! We will attack his main force!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Shiren got Wang Xuance's plan and remained silent until the front army passed by and the center army arrived. He drew his long sword and pointed it high at the sun in the sky. Everyone looked at his sword.

He swung the long sword fiercely and shouted: "Fire the arrow!"

Suddenly arrows rained down, and the prepared stones fell like landslides...
