Emperor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 816 The psychological shadow of the important officials of Tubo

Songtsen Gampo's confidence is not without foundation. As the capital of Tubo, Luoseicheng can be said to be the strongest in defense.

Generally speaking, the bigger and more complete the city is, the harder it will be to take down, and the better it will be for the defenders!

If nothing else, the hardness and thickness of the rammed earth walls are not comparable to other cities.

In addition, the top talents of Tubo are all gathered here. It can be said that they are full of talents. Are you afraid that they will lose to the Tang army who will go deep into the enemy country alone?

"Your Majesty, you are finally back!"

As soon as Songtsan Gampo entered the city, the officials and officials of the Tubo who had already received the news came to greet him, and almost all the civil servants and generals of the entire court came.

"If I don't come back, won't Tubo turn the sky upside down?" Songtsan Gambo snorted coldly.

"It's the old minister who is incompetent, please forgive me!"

When Songtsen Gampo was away, Dagong Lun Bangse Suzi, who was in charge of the town, broke into a cold sweat when he heard the words, and quickly stepped forward to apologize.

Songtsan Gambo looked at his gray hair, and sighed, "Forget it, you can always maintain such a chaotic situation without breaking down, and persist until I come back, which is considered a success."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity!"

Songtsan Gampo looked at Ma Dongjia, who was also present. As the guardian of the Tibetans, Ma Dongjia, of course, could not be absent.

"Before this, have you mentioned that Chu King Li You to me?"

As soon as Ma Dongjia heard the name, his face sank subconsciously, this was the enemy who had brought him endless humiliation.

"Yes... It's humiliating to say, but I have indeed been defeated by him in the military strategy. This son will become a great weapon in the future, so we must guard against it!"

"In the future?" Songtsen Ganbu said with an expressionless face, "Why wait until the future, he is already an extremely difficult 'big tool'!"

"what did you say?!"

Tubo's inner minister Masrazan was stunned when he heard the words, and his intuition was not simple.

"Could it be that... have you played against that Li You?"

Ludongzan helped Songtsan Gampo to answer: "More than just fighting? Now Tang Jun is chasing after him, and one of the leaders is Li You, the prince of the Tang Dynasty!"

"what!?"

These words made the expressions of several high-ranking officials present greatly change. I didn't expect that Li You actually came!

Seeing their reaction, Songtsen Gampo was also a little heartbroken - why did the important officials around him seem to think of some psychological shadow when they heard the name of Li You?

When they went to Chang'an in the past, how badly did they lose in the hands of Li You!

"As the prince of the Tang Dynasty, how dare he go so deep into the enemy's realm?"

Only Bangse Suzi, who has not yet seen Li Youqiang with his own eyes, is full of disbelief. In his opinion, before discussing whether Li Youqiang is strong or not, it is unbelievable that this Prince of the Tang Dynasty would take such an amazing risk!

It can only be said that this is too unreasonable, otherwise, with such a noble identity as the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, how could it be possible to make such crazy actions that are deeply trapped in the enemy camp?

"No... If it's him, maybe it's really possible to do this!"

Cha Mai Duo, who is the top official of Tubo affairs, said with a gloomy face that he had played a long game of Go with Li You, so what he learned from Li You's temperament was clearer.

"Hmph, whether it's true or not, as long as he dares to come to some cities, that's the end of his luck!" Bangse Suzi sneered disapprovingly, "It just so happens that we can also take this opportunity to wipe out this great Tang prince. !"

Songtsen Gampo did not say anything about it. If it had been a long time ago, Songtsen Gampo would have said some rhetoric at this time.

It's a pity that in the past period of time, every time his pride adverbial was slapped in the face by Li You with the cruel reality of the speed of light, Songtsen Gampo didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

However, considering that Tang Jun was really likely to come to attack some cities, Songtsan Gampo still asked: "Ma Dongjia, you and Li You have competed in military strategy. What is his style of military use?"

After pondering for a long time, Ma Dongjia said slowly: "Go back to Your Majesty, Li You's style of military use is not easy to summarize... But in general, it seems that strange tricks are emerging one after another. A trick?"

The guerrilla war at the beginning was an eye-opener for Ma Dongjia.

Songtsan Gampo and Lu Dongzan immediately looked at each other and nodded to each other—combining with the previous series of battles, it turned out that those shameless bastard tactics were all ideas from Li You!

"Anyway, in the face of absolute power advantage, any tricks are useless! As long as you return to the city of Luosei, you don't need to worry about Li You's amazing victory!"

After thinking for a while, Songtsen Gampo instructed: "First, send an additional 403 troops to the [-] places of turmoil, and the remaining troops will follow me to guard some cities!"

The current situation in Tubo is exactly as Li You expected when he was in Songzhou. Hundreds of thousands of troops are scattered all over the country, and they can't get away to go back and forth to help some cities.

So this is a battle against time, and it depends on whether Li You can take down some cities like thunder in the limited time before the hundreds of thousands of troops rush back!

If he fails, Li You will have to face the front and back of the Tubo army, and finally he will be completely explained here by the enemy, so this is an earth-shattering gamble!

"Is this really good, Your Majesty?" Lu Dongzan asked worriedly, "In this case, there will only be a force similar to the current Tang army left in the city. Wouldn't there be no advantage at all?"

Songtsan Gampo glared at him and said, "It can only be like this until now, do you still let me watch the turmoil and ignore it? Besides, if I don't send people to support, I will come back after all the hard work. What's the point?!"

"What's more... Who said that we have no advantage at all? Even if the number of troops is roughly the same, we still have some cities that are easy to defend and difficult to attack compared to the Tang army!"

Chapter 817 The final battle of the city!

Half a day later, Li You led the Tang army to arrive as scheduled and set up camp outside the city of Luosei.

The location of Luosei City is dangerous, coupled with the painstaking efforts in defense for hundreds of years, it can be described as a copper wall and an impregnable wall.

Songtsen Gampo looked at the surrounding walls with confidence, which is where he worked hard.

"This city wall is several feet taller than a normal city wall. Horses can run on the wall. The army that wants to break my city wall is probably not born yet! Besides, their Han grandsons said that if you want to break the city, you must have more troops than defending the city. It is possible to have more than three times the strength of the army, and their strength is similar to ours now, even if he is a god, he may not dare to cross the thunder pool!"
