Da Tang: Three days later, I was frantically collecting supplies

Chapter 195 Wipe out Tubo in one fell swoop, Tuyuhun.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, Tubo captured Tuyuhun, and the critical moment of occupation suddenly changed. Su Dingfang led the army to Tuyuhun and fought with Tubo.

Tubo did not hesitate in the slightest, attacking on three fronts, with twice as many soldiers and horses as Su Dingfang leading. Prepare to defeat Su Dingfang in one fell swoop and march into Chang’an.

The result was somewhat unexpected, it was clear that a hundred thousand army against a 30,000 army was defeated and retreated. Tubo was shocked and immediately held the city.

In this way, a hundred thousand troops defended the city, and thirty thousand troops attacked the city.

Since Tuyuhun was very close to the Great Tang Dynasty, it was not difficult to supply, so Tubo relied on Tuyuhun’s city to be strong and resisted with difficulty.

Although it can’t be beaten, there are many people and can resist.

So Li Shimin sent a large army again, Li Jing, Li Ji, and many other generals were idle to fight in Tuyuhun. The city was strong, there was plenty of food and grass in the city, and the Great Tang also had enough food and grass, so the two armies fell into anxiety.

……

The Turks at this time were also in trouble.

Before the Turks were robbed several times before, there was a shortage of food, and several tribes saw that in order to survive, they went to war with each other to grab food. Just then, the Turks received the news.

The Great Tang was concentrating its forces to attack Tuyuhun and Tubo, and the cities that had been beaten by Li Yu before the Eastern Turks were almost lost. I heard that the Great Tang was at war, and Liang King Li Yu was also sent to Sakurajima, and his internal strength was empty.

With Xue Yantuo as the leader, the major tribes on the grassland gathered the major tribes on the grassland, and after attacking Chang’an for a few days, a hundred thousand troops gathered on the grassland and went south in one fell swoop to attack Chang’an.

Li Shimin was taken aback.

But it quickly reacted.

Although Tuyuhun hit halfway, it could not be released. So he asked Su Dingfang to lead an army of 30,000 to confront him.

Then he transferred back Li Jing and Li Ji, transferred back 20,000 troops, and urgently gathered 30,000 troops in Chang’an City and Luoyang City. Li Shimin personally led the troops against the Turks.

It is equivalent to the Great Tang fighting on two fronts at the same time.

In the west, Su Dingfang was responsible for breaking through Tuyuhun and attacking Tubo. Belongs to the attacking side. Li Ji led 50,000 troops to defend Chang’an, which belonged to the defensive side.

Li Shimin knew that the Turks lacked food and grass, so he did not make dangerous moves, did not take the initiative to attack, but relied on defense to fight a war of attrition.

It was easy to settle down for a while, and the war began again.

At the same time, Li Ke, who was far away in Liaoshun, was slightly shocked when he learned the news of Chang’an.

I wanted to let Li Shimin take Tuyuhun and Tubo, but at this time the Turks actually came to make trouble. They actually thought that Li Yu was stationed on the island and was arrogant.

Aid Chang’an? Don’t.

Compared with the line, Li Kei prefers to steal towers and eat tappies.

Therefore, Li Yu ordered troops again, with 10,000 iron horses, all equipped with a cavalry team of Mingguang armor, directly rushed out of Liaoshun, and swept through various Turkic tribes.

When two armies fight against each other, it is a war, it requires combat effectiveness, and it requires strategy. But sweeping the rear, that’s a proper harvest.

Turkic men, young and strong, were requisitioned to fight, and the rear was full of old and weak women and children. Li Kei could not be idle, brought an army of 20,000, and also joined the team that swept through the Turks. Directly arrest people and take them back as slaves.

In just one month, Li Kei and Li Su swept the grassland almost carpet-like with the army. After knowing that there were no more people in the grassland, Li Kei gave all the grain and grass to Li Su.

Li Kei remembered that this generation had oil minerals, and he led thousands of soldiers to continue to search for oil in the Turkic generation.

Li Kei could only look for the map in his hand and look for it according to the approximate location of the ground. The location of an oil well was soon found.

At the same time, Li Ke sent people to make oil lighting equipment in Liaoshun. And all the way to the Turkic region, oil wells were built.

Li Su had sufficient equipment and sufficient supplies, so he took 10,000 iron horses and less than 20,000 light horses and went straight to Chang’an. Chang’an City received news that Li Yu led troops to attack the Turkic rear. Li Jing also opened the city gate and sent troops to attack.

The Turks were attacked from both sides, coupled with insufficient food and grass, and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers was also seriously insufficient. Soon it was beaten by the two armies.

More than 20,000 people died in battle and more than 70,000 surrendered.

After Li Jing captured tens of thousands of slaves, he made peace with Li Su and brought an army of 100,000 to Tuyuhun. Even if he didn’t use explosives to pack cannons, he still took Tuyuhun by relying on the tactics of a sea of people in three days.

……

I haven’t stopped yet, I haven’t played enough!

Li Jing, Su Dingfang, Li Ji and others went south one after another, approaching the old nest of Tubo. Tubo repeatedly asked for peace, but Li Shimin refused.

I rejected your plan to make peace with my relatives before without fighting, and this has all hit your doorstep, and you still want to be with your relatives? Even if Li Shimin agreed, the soldiers did not agree.

It’s a warm season, a good time to fight. If it gets cold one day, it’s not easy to fight.

So the war continued to spread.

A few months later, Li Ji captured the city of Tubo, and Li Shu shot Songtseng Gampo, Tubo surrendered, and took Tubo in one fell swoop.

From the green ridge in the west, the Longshan Mountain in the east, the western edge of the Sichuan Basin, the Tianshan Mountain Range in the north, and the southern foothills of the Himalayas in the south, all belong to the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin once again established the Qinghai-Tibet Protectorate and the Northeast Protectorate, and sent troops to guard it.

Moreover, hundreds of thousands of slaves from the Tubo and Turkic captives also came in handy, building brick kilns and building the Great Wall on the border. At this point, the territory of the Great Tang Dynasty instantly skyrocketed by 4.67 million square kilometers, reaching a terrifying 17 million square kilometers.

Persuade Jun Mo to seal the marquis, and he will achieve ten thousand bones. When the battle was over, the soldiers returned to Chang’an.

At this time, it was cold again, and it turned out that it was already winter. The Tang army won a great victory, and the Great Tang once again expanded the country.

Li Shimin was very happy, and the whole world was amnestied.

Chang’an City was singing and dancing and celebrating the great victory of the Tang Dynasty.

The tributary regiment, led by its chief Qu Azhan, arrived in Chang’an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

What is strange is that these people speak Chinese, and they are all the same as Han people, with black eyes and black hair. At the same time, they were all Chinese, so there was no suspicion that Li Shimin had friendly exchanges with him.

After detailed exchanges, these people are descendants of Li Ling of the Li clan of Longxi, and come from the same clan as Li Shimin.

“Congratulations Your Majesty, Your Majesty!”

“My Great Tang does not cost a soldier a single soldier, and adds land!”

Therefore, Li Shimin made the chief of Gangsi Tong Lifa the general of Zuotunwei, and led the Yanran capital to protect the palace and beg.
