Chapter 163: Capture Zamp Alive
Chapter 163: Capture Zanpu alive
After the discussion, Chen Wanrong returned to the tent and took a shower. He felt refreshed and fell on the bed, but couldn't sleep. First, he was very excited to participate in such a large-scale battle today. The boiling blood has not completely cooled down.
In a war, the decisive battle between the two sides invested 300,000 troops was nothing in Chinese history. Like the Changping War, Qin and Zhao each invested more than 500,000 troops, and the total force of the two sides was close to 1.2 million. When Qin Shihuang destroyed the Chu State, Qin State invested 600,000 troops, while Chu State invested 400,000, which was another collision of one million troops.
The scale of this battle cannot be compared with the Battle of Changping and the Battle of Tianzhongshan. However, it is rare in Chinese history, not to mention that it is of great significance. It is a battle to expand territory. If you are fortunate to participate, Chen Wanrong felt extremely honored and could not get rid of passion.
Second, there is another battle tonight. The role of artillery in this battle is very important and we must shoulder the important task of bombing the Tubo camp. There will be no problem with the artillery bombing the Tubo camp. The problem is that this matter is too honorable. How can Chen Wanrong not recite it?
It was not until a while that Chen Wanrong fell asleep in a daze. At the second hour of the day, he woke up Ge Shuhan, washed up after getting up, and ate with a 70% full meal according to regulations before wearing it.
With the help of Ge Shuhan, a talented figure, Chen Wanrong had a lot of trouble. When he arrived in front of the artillery formation, he saw that the artillery was about to stop being a part of the artillery and was waiting for the order.
After a while, Guo Qianguan and Zhang Shuo came in big strides. At the moment of the war, everyone didn't have to polite and talked directly. Guo Qianguan asked, "Are the military supervisor ready?"
"Just wait for your order!" Chen Wanrong answered loudly.
"Okay! Let's take action!" Guo Qianguan waved his right hand vigorously.
Chen Wanrong ordered: "Start!" The artillery pushed the artillery out of the military camp and came to the position. This place not only had enough space for the Tubo military camp, but also had enough room to expand the results of the war.
The night breeze was blowing, and under the slight moonlight, the Tang army drove out camps one by one, each of them were full of energy and their eyes were full of fierce fighting spirit! It is hard to think about the battle, and no one knows whether it is unexpected. Tonight will be the last battle! This is the night that has created the glory of China. Who is not excited?
In the mind of the Tang army, they had the great monarch Emperor Taizong of Tang, and the great commanders Li Jing, Su Dingfang, Li Jie, Li Daozong, Pei Xingjian, and Cheng Wuting. These great commanders created countless glory. The most destroyed the country, and the few defeated hundreds of thousands of enemies. Today, this grand event finally fell on their shoulders. They would be famous in history for destroying Tubo. What an honor, can they not be excited?
When the Tang army drove out the camps to a certain number, Guo Qianguan nodded: "It's OK!"
Chen Wanrong stepped back to the side, and Ge Shuhan cooperated well: "Fire the fire!"
The artillery was ready for a long time, and all they had to wait for was the order. The gunners scrambled through the sky like a meteor, which was particularly beautiful at night and was amazing.
The shells fell on the Tubo camp, and fireballs flashed one after another, and explosions erupted everywhere, and the Tubo camp was blown up.
Today, he was defeated and fought a defeat that had never been seen in Tubo history. Jide Zuzan was very dissatisfied and summoned a group of civil and military ministers, and asked with a gloomy face: "You all tell me why the Great Tubo was defeated so miserably?"
Is there any need to ask? Of course, the Tang people used fraud to take away his golden helmet and spread it everywhere, making a fuss like a real thing. They all thought that Jide Zuzan was dead, his morale was declining, and his fighting spirit was disintegrating. Who has the intention to fight? The Tang army seized the opportunity to pursue him, and Tubo became what he is now.
However, no one dared to say this, and the crowd remained silent.
"Since the abandoned Zong Nong Zan, the Great Tubo has not suffered such a crushing defeat!" Jide Zuzan sat on the throne, covered his face in pain, waved his hand, and asked the ministers to retreat.
Since the Songtsen Gampo period, Tubo has been fighting harmony with the Tang Dynasty. Over the past century, I don’t know how many times it has fought. Tubo has lost more than he won, but there has never been such a miserable defeat. After one battle, more than one hundred thousand troops were gone. Most of the troops in the Tubo country were in power!
Depression does not mean that Ji Dezu's bad mood is now. At this time, he thought of someone, Princess Jincheng. Princess Jincheng was the princess of the Tang Dynasty and asked her to come forward and discuss with the generals of the Tang army to see if she could get a chance to breathe. However, this kind of request for help is not something that Ji Dezuzan could say.
After thinking about it, Jide Zuzan still couldn't be shameless and begged Princess Jincheng, so she could only sit on the throne and stare blankly. After a while, Jide Zuzan was feeling a little restored and began to consider the problem. After today's defeat, the Tubo army had lost a lot of strength and had no ability to fight again. For the sake of the present, we should take preservation of our strength as the priority and should retreat immediately.
Retreat is the wisest decision, but there is one thing, that is, where to retreat. It is best to retreat to Lusie City. After Huguan was lost, he sent troops to retake it, but his attacks were setbacks and they are still in the hands of the Tang army. Without Huguan, it is impossible to retreat to Lusie City.
As for other directions, there is Nujiang and Tang army in the north, which is impossible. There are only two sides of the east and west. The important gates in these two directions have been seized by the Tang army, and only the less important gates are in the hands of Tubo.
The important barrier is in the hands of the Tang army, but not in the hands, but in the hands, it is not very useful. Once the camp cover is lost, the Tubo army will only give the Tang army a share of killing.
The current terrain of the Tubo army is somewhat similar to the Changping War. As long as the Tang army controlled those dangerous places, the Tubo army had nowhere to escape. The dangerous pass was useful to Tubo and more useful to the Tang army, it depends on whoever was in his hands.
He could not fight but could not retreat but could not retreat. Only by defending here and was exhausted with the Tang army. I hope that the Tang army's supplies would be used up before him, so that Tubo would escape the disaster.
The camp is the only support for Jide Zuzan now. When he confronts the Tang army head-on, the Tubo army has no chance of winning at all. With the camp, he can effectively kill and injure the Tang army.
"Drag on!" Jide Zuzan finally made a decision.
His decision was not wrong, but he didn't know that the Tang army had artillery in his hands. His camp was similar to tofu for artillery. Even without artillery, his camp could not stop the Tang army. The Tang army had equipment to attack and defy the village, but the artillery was better and he didn't bring it.
With a decision, his mood calmed down. When Jide Zuzan thought that the Tang army did not follow the attack on the camp, he always felt that it was inappropriate. As for what was wrong, he couldn't figure it out for a while.
Under normal circumstances, when the war reaches that level, the Tang army will attack the camp without hesitation, but the Tang army retreats. This is obviously wrong. The question is, what is the purpose of the Tang army?
The Tang army fought for a day and was too tired. After resting, it was possible to attack again tomorrow. As he thought about it, Ji De Zuzan was exhausted and couldn't help but get tired and fell asleep.
In his sleep, he woke up a shocking sound. When Ji De Zuzan opened his eyes, his first reaction was "Thunder?" Then he realized something was wrong. This was the sound of the Tang army's artillery. He suddenly understood and shouted, "No! The Tang army is going to fight at night!" Fei rushed out like a flying.
The Tang army's night battle was more shocking than the daytime attack tomorrow. First, the night battle was beneficial to attacking one side because it would cause chaos, unless you calculate the enemy's intentions and be prepared. The problem is that Jide Zuzan was not prepared at all. What would the Tubo army look like when he was suddenly attacked by the Tang army? He must be running around and in chaos.
Chaos is a fatal injury to the army!
Second, Tubo was defeated today, his morale was low, and his soldiers were very angry. When attacked by the Tang army, he could not have any strength to fight back. Even the imperial guards, which Jide Zuzan, who is most important, could not be able to organize effective defense. These two points are enough to cause the Tubo army to be destroyed. How could he not be shocked?
Jide Zuzan was a shrewd man and reacted quickly. The things he was worried about were instantly confirmed. As soon as he left the tent, he heard noises and was quarreling. Countless Tubo troops were running around, and it was good to be out of order. Many people were running away with their bare butts.
"The Tang army is here!" I don't know which soldier reacted first and roared.
It would be better if he didn't yell. As soon as he yelled, a soldier immediately picked up the guy and chopped him up, and he would cut him to the point of anyone he hit. In a short while, the Tubo soldiers were fighting together and killed him, and blood flowed into a river.
It was actually a bombing camp!
The bombing camp is often fatal to the army. There have been many incidents in history, and because of a little noise, it eventually turns into the bombing camp, causing disasters. Whenever there is movement in the dark, no one knows where the noise comes from. They often mistakenly think that it is an enemy attack, and they will attack the guys. They will fight until dawn. Only when they find that there is no enemy, they are fighting their own people, causing heavy casualties. In severe cases, it will cause the army to lose its combat effectiveness.
Zhang Shuo is worthy of being a talented person and calculates the reaction of the Tubo army very accurately.
Jide Zuzan knew the terribleness of the bombing camp. The most important thing now is to stop the bombing camp and shouted: "I am Zanpu, stop me, there are no enemies!" It's not that there are no enemies, but just to stabilize the morale of the army, I have to say some conscience.
His personal guards also arrived and started roaring together. Jide Zuzan's prestige in the army was quite high. When Tubo soldiers heard what he said, they slowly stopped.
Although there was no killing, the Tang army was about to attack, so they had to stabilize their positions first. Jide Zuzan immediately issued an order to light a torch in the military camp and to return to the camp to the soldiers leaving the camp.
This is the first rectification after the defeat today, and there is still some effect. The Tubo soldiers gradually stabilized.
However, at this moment, a heavy footsteps sounded. Under the flames, the heavy infantry of the Tang army were wearing heavy armor and holding a sword in their hands. Hundreds of people drove over in groups of people.
The reason why one hundred heavy infantrymen were sent to team was because there were too many tents in the camp and the number of people was not flexible enough.
Just now, the Tang army emerged without the Tang army. Modao is a unique equipment of the Tang army and cannot be faked. The Tubo soldiers were stunned. The situation that had just stabilized suddenly became chaotic.
Jide Zuzan reacted very quickly. Without saying a word to fight, a soldier screamed, "Oh my God! Escape!"
The Tubo soldiers looked at the Tang army driving over and were all frightened. When they heard this, they were all happy to respond. They turned around and ran away. They ran everywhere, like frightened rabbits.
The heavy infantry raised the Mo sword and slashed it hard. No matter what was blocking them, it was a man or a tent. Wherever they passed, there would be no living things, and there would be no things that could stop them.
After a few rounds of shells passed, a gap of dozens of feet wide appeared in the Tubo camp. With Guo Qianguan's order, the heavy infantry of the Tang army rushed in, and then the light infantry advanced, followed by Fei Junxing's cavalry. Of course, they did not ride in horses, but used it as infantry to prepare for infantry battles.
Speaking of Fei Junxing's re-engineering infantry, there is another small episode. Cheng Xiaotian is also willing to lead his cavalry to be an infantry again, but it takes a cavalry to prevent the Tubo scattered soldiers from escaping. Guo Qianguan sent it to Cheng Xiaotian. Cheng Xiaotian was very dissatisfied, and Fei Junxing laughed and mocked him, "Didn't you say that cavalry is used as infantry, and it is rare to have an opportunity. If we want us to do it again, isn't the opportunity here today?"
This was a joke they told when they met after the Battle of Nujiang. Unexpectedly, Fei Junxing used it to mock him. Cheng Xiaotian muttered "The villain succeeded" and had nothing to say.
The reason why Guo Qianguan used Fei Junxing's cavalry as infantry was that he would not encounter too much resistance in the battle tonight. Although the cavalry was not good at infantry battles, it could also come in handy.
After destroying a camp, the artillery immediately moved to the next place. Several rounds of shells passed by, and another huge gap was found. The Tang army immediately rushed in through the gap.
He kept changing the location until he opened more than a dozen gaps and then stopped.
More than a dozen gaps were enough for the Tang army, but the artillery was idle. Hearing the sound of killing in the Tubo camp, the artillery was itchy and tightly, they all asked for their orders: "General, let's go too!"
Chen Wanrong was also passionate and nodded, "It goes without saying that we are going to go! However, it is not too late to transport the artillery back first, and we will go to the battle again."
The artillery is a treasure. Although the battle is almost over, it cannot be thrown away. It must be kept well and it must be used to destroy the Tubo in the future. Although the artillery was eager to fight, it still obeyed Chen Wanrong's orders and pushed the artillery back to the camp.
Nowadays, artillery is useless because it will accidentally hurt your own people, so you can only put it aside. Besides, the Tubo soldiers were panicked and could hear them shouting "Oh my God" from afar. Where can they use artillery? It is enough to use a horizontal knife.
Furthermore, the cannon is bulky and unhurried. If you want to chase the Tubo soldiers and kill them, it is satisfying to cut off your head with a knife.
As soon as the cannon was set off, the artillery jumped onto the war horses with a valiant ray of light like a hungry wolf in his eyes, hoping to kill him immediately.
The little adult Wang Zhongsi climbed onto his war horse excitedly and was about to follow him. Chen Wanrong grabbed him off the horse's back and said with a serious look on his face: "Wang Zhongsi, I will now order you as a military supervisor and stay in the camp honestly. If you dare to step out of the camp, you will be engaged in military law! You know the best military law, you know what the consequences are!"
Wang Zhongsi has extraordinary wisdom, even if he is a child. If he is with him, no one can take responsibility if there is a mistake, then he will be the pillar of the future!
Wang Zhongsi, who never admits defeat, was anxious this time. His eyes turned red and he was about to cry. He accused Chen Wanrong of "You bully me!"
"Because you are young, you can't let you go! If you want to fight, wait until you grow up, then talk about it! Remember, you must not leave the camp!" Chen Wanrong flew out with a stern face, flew out on a horse, and galloped out with artillery soldiers.
Even Wang Haibin died in battle, but Wang Zhongsi never shed tears. This time, he actually sat on the ground and covered his face and started crying.
How important it is to destroy Tubo? It is so honorable to be involved! Even if you die in battle, you will not regret it! Everyone is rushing to kill, and only Wang Zhongsi is watching him. How can he not be anxious?
When Chen Wanrong led the artillery to arrive, he was shocked to see the situation in the Tubo camp. At this time, the Tubo military camp could no longer be called a military camp, and it was similar to the Shura slaughterhouse. There were corpses everywhere and fragments chopped by Modao everywhere.
"We're late!" Liu Fuqing sighed.
"We can only see such an important battle. If we had known, I wouldn't be an artillery!" Some artillery regretted that they had sharpened their heads and wanted to be an artillery.
"Hurry, there's someone alive!" Ge Shuhan pointed forward with a look.
In order to prevent the bombing of the camp, Jide Zuzan asked the Tubo army to light torches. This was a good way to prevent the bombing of the camp. It was just a good way to prevent the bombing of the camp. The entire camp was brightly lit, and there were many Tubo troops like the daytime, the Tang army would chase him wherever he was.
When Chen Wanrong saw a man crawling out of the pile of dead people and staggeringly running for his life.
Ge Shuhan slapped his horse's back and rushed up. He raised the horizontal knife in his hand and slashed it hard. Seeing that the man was about to die, Chen Wanrong hurriedly shouted: "Stop it, he is a big deal and cannot be killed!"
It is not to cherish his life, but to capture such an important person as a great discussion.
"Da Lun?" Ge Shuhan was very surprised and hurriedly turned the blade and cut off a piece of Da Lun's hair.
The big speech was so shocked that his face looked like earth. He fell to the ground with a loud bang, and his whole body sifted. Chen Wanrong rushed over and looked at it carefully, and he did not admit his mistake. It was a big speech!
Dalun was imprisoned by Jide Zuzan, and he originally thought he had no chance to escape. Unexpectedly, the soldiers guarding him had long been gone for nothing. He took off his precious clothes, changed into soldiers' clothes, and lay in the crowd of dead people to pretend to be dead.
He was so lucky, but he became a prisoner of the Tang army.
Geshuhan relaxed his arms and raised the great treatise. After looking at it, he smiled and said, "It's pure and pure, it's a good resource for officials! We will catch the great treatise as soon as we come. It's better to come by a coincidence than to come early!"
"Congratulations to Brother Shu, Brother, for making this amazing achievement!" Wang Shaohua congratulated.
The Great Remarks are the biggest figure in Tubo after Zanpu. It was a wonderful achievement to capture him alive, and everyone was happy. Geshuhan waved his hand and said, "Everyone's credit!"
Chen Wanrong frowned: "We are late, there is nothing to kill. Their movements are too fast! Let's go and see if we can catch a few more big names, and Qianhu and other things will be done."
Wang Shaohua thought about the beautiful things: "It would be better to let us meet Jide Zuzan and capture him alive."
Chen Wanrong was in a good mood: "Brother Wang, don't think about good things. We are late, so it would be great if we could catch a few thousand households."
