Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 447 Retreating to the Royal City

In the territory of Tuyuhun, after Lu Dongzan's death, Lun Qinling took over the power of Tubo and became the Prime Minister of Tubo. He still inherited Lu Dongzan's will and continued to annex Tuyuhun's cause.

Since Lun Qinling took over as Prime Minister, he has attacked Tuyuhun many times, defeated the coalition forces of Tuyuhun and Tang many times, occupied a large number of territories of Tuyuhun, and the soldiers pointed directly at the royal city of Tuyuhun.

As long as Lunqin Mausoleum is given another period of time, Tuyuhun will become history forever, and Tubo will occupy the entire territory of Tuyuhun.

In order to take down Tuyuhun as soon as possible, Lunqinling sent people to provoke troubles in Mobei many times, and joined forces with anti-Tang forces in Mobei to attack the four towns of Anxi.

This time, they even sent a partial division to start from such a Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, forcing Wuzhao to join forces with him and attack the Jiannan Road of the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, Lun Qinling dispatched two troops to restrain Wang Fangyi and Hei Chi Changzhi's troops so that they could not support Tuyuhun.

Under the command of Lun Qinling, the Tubo army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, and the Tuyuhun coalition army retreated steadily.

Today, there are only the royal city and a few acropolis left in Tuyuhun. The acropolis is the last line of defense against the Tubo army. Once the acropolis is captured by the Tubo army, the Tubo army will come to the royal city.

"Quick! Send the military doctor, where is the military doctor?" A group of wounded soldiers shouted in the camp carrying a man on a stretcher.

The person on the stretcher was lying quietly, breathless. It seemed that the person on the stretcher was probably in danger, and his life was not long!
The military doctor hurried over when he heard the shout, "I'm here, what happened?"

"Quick, save the general!" The soldiers hurried forward and grabbed the military doctor and shouted.

"Don't worry, let me take a look first." The military doctor pushed him away, stepped forward to check, his heart sank suddenly, he was so injured that he might not be able to save him.

"Military doctor! Don't be dazed! Hurry up and treat the general!" said the soldier.

"Hurry up and carry them inside!" said the military doctor, and then everyone carried the wounded into the tent.

When the military doctor was treating the general, he drove everyone out and didn't allow anyone to disturb him. Although he knew that the chance of saving him was low, he could only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

"How is General Xi Junmai?" A deep voice sounded.

The soldiers looked back, and saw a barbarian in armor appearing in front of them, and beside him was a graceful and luxurious woman.

The soldiers hurriedly saluted and said, "I have seen King Tuyuhun, Your Royal Highness!"

The people who came were Murong Nuohebo, King of Tuyuhun, and his queen, Princess Honghua, the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, the person who was being rescued inside was Xi Junmai.

"I don't know the specific situation yet, the military doctor is trying to rescue him inside." A soldier said.

"Why did you suffer heavy losses in this battle?" Princess Honghua asked.

"Our army was ambushed by Tubo and fell into the trap of Tubo. I will fight to the death to get out of the siege. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back." A soldier said, all of them were injured, Xi Jun bought more He was seriously injured and unconscious.

"Who is the leader of the Tubo army?" King Tuyuhun asked.

"It was Lun Qinling who commanded it personally," said the soldier.

"What?" King Tuyuhun paled in shock after hearing this, and took a step back involuntarily, his terrified eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.

For Tuyuhun, Lunqin Mausoleum is a nightmare that will never go away in their hearts. They are so afraid that even children dare not cry when the name of Lunqin Mausoleum is mentioned.

Xi Junmai is also considered brave and good at fighting, but when he meets Lun Qinling, the Tubo god of war, it is not enough.

Xi Junmai first fell for Lun Qinling's plan to lure the enemy into the depths!Leading [-] elite soldiers to chase down the defeated Tubo army.

In order to lure Xi Junmai into being fooled, Lun Qinling did not hesitate to use himself as a bait to lure Xi Junmai into his ambush circle.

The next step is to divide the Tang army into several parts, nibble him step by step, and gather superior forces to besiege Xi Junmai.

"Can you see clearly?" King Tuyuhun asked.

"It was very clear. I not only saw the flag of Lun Qinling, but also saw him in person. I have fought with the general for many years, and I have seen Lun Qinling several times. There is absolutely no mistake." The soldier said firmly.

King Tuyuhun was frightened and overwhelmed. At this time, the military doctor came out from inside.

"Military doctor, how is my general's condition?" The soldier hurriedly grabbed the military doctor and asked.

"I've tried my best, but there's nothing I can do. General Xi still has something to tell you." The military doctor shook his head and said.

He really tried his best, but people really died, and there was nothing he could do.

Everyone rushed into the tent, King Tuyuhun stepped forward and said, "General Xi!"

"Your Highness, Your Majesty the Great King and the Eldest Princess! You are here! Please forgive me for being injured and unable to salute!" Xi Jun bought.

"The general speaks seriously! Lie down quickly so that you can recuperate. I believe that the general will recover." King Tuyuhun comforted.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to comfort me. I know what's going on with me. I don't have much time left, so I have a few words in my heart to say to Your Majesty." Xi Jun bought.

"If the general has any words or last words, I will do my best to help the general." Tuyuhun said kingly.

"This time, I am defeated. Lun Qinling will attack soon. The acropolis will definitely not be able to hold. I hereby advise the king to lead the army and withdraw from the acropolis immediately."

"Go back to the royal city and wait for reinforcements in the royal city. Gao Kan, Pang Tongshan and other generals have been ordered to send troops to rescue Tuyuhun."

"As long as we can hold on for a few days, our soldiers and horses from the Tang Dynasty will be able to arrive. At that time, there may still be a glimmer of life." Xi Junmai said.

"General Xi, I understand what you said! Now order the withdrawal of the Acropolis." King Tuyuhun said.

"In this way, I feel at ease! It's just that I, Mr. Xi, feel ashamed of your majesty! It's a pity that I failed to fulfill your majesty's great trust."

"Before your majesty leaves the royal city, you must not leave a grain of grain for the Tubo army. If you can't move it away, it will be burnt down, and the springs in the city should be blocked."

"In the warehouse in this city, there is also the gunpowder I brought from the Tang Dynasty, which is my gift to the Tubo army." Xi Junmai said.

"Don't worry, general, I know what to do." King Tuyuhun said, he understood what Xi Junmai meant.

It is intended to use gunpowder to kill the Tubo army entering the city. Even if they cannot be killed, it will cause trouble for them, delay the Tubo army's marching speed, and buy time for Gao Kan and the others.

King Tuyuhun left the tent, called the generals to hold a military meeting, and ordered to withdraw from the Acropolis and return to the royal city.

Before leaving, the food was emptied, all the wells in the city were filled, and Tang Jun was asked to leave all the gunpowder in the king city as a meeting gift for the Tubo army.

The Tang army and the Tuyuhun allied forces withdrew from the Acropolis. At dusk, the Tubo vanguard troops entered the Acropolis and sent people back to report to Lunqinling.

Not long after the Tubo vanguard army entered the Acropolis, there was a deafening noise in the royal city, and many Tubo soldiers were injured.
