Seeing the city in front of them, all the Tubo soldiers looked happy.
Datang, Datang, what is in front of you is Datang, this time you can really start a battle with them.
Seeing the enemy's city in front of them, everyone said they were greedy just looking at it.
This time we attacked the enemy's city. After entering the city, we must clean the entire city.
And they also believed that there must be much more food, grass, rare treasures, and other aspects in their city in the Tang Dynasty.
So if they come to fight this time, they will definitely make a lot of money.
Like the Turkic nomads, the Tubo people were also founded by nomads.
Nomadic tribes have one thing in common, that is, they control the resources they rob.
The more you grab, the more resources you get, and the more benefits you get as a whole.
In fact, the reason for this is also because these tribes have few members and they made choices in order to stimulate all their war potential.
At the same time, it is also the inevitable result of what they, the nomadic people, have done in order to survive.
To them, the so-called three cardinal principles and five constant principles of the Central Plains people seem very ridiculous.
As everyone knows, whether they are Central Plains people or nomads, they are all the result of their respective environments.
If the positions were swapped, both parties would make the same choice.
"In front of the general is the city of the Tang Dynasty. This time we will definitely attack the city of the Tang Dynasty in one go.
Robbed their money, robbed their people, robbed their food."
As he spoke, all the soldiers in Tubo cheered.
For everyone, fighting is the most important thing.
In contrast, other things seemed insignificant.
"Pass my military order and send soldiers to the cities of the Tang Dynasty to spread the word and tell them about the Tang people.
As long as these Tang people open the city and donate their money and food obediently, we Tubo soldiers don't mind giving them a happy death.
If not, when the siege begins and our soldiers break through their Tang Dynasty city, they will definitely let their Tang Dynasty know what true cruelty is.
Kill kill kill.
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers on the other side of the Tang Dynasty received news from the Tubo people.
When the people of the Tang Dynasty heard such arrogant words coming from Tubo and reached the ears of the soldiers, all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty showed their anger.
This is really unreasonable.
This little Tubo kid, in such a tiny place, actually allowed me, the Tang Dynasty, to open the city gate and surrender obediently?
Could it be that there is something wrong with their minds, so they said such nonsense?
This is really unreasonable. If you want to fight, fight. Do they really think that our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are afraid of their Tibetan people?
When the words from the Tang Dynasty reached the ears of this group of Tubo people.
When the Tibetan soldiers who came to fight heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
It's really interesting, it's really interesting. It seems that these people from Tang Dynasty have taken advantage of their ambition. Not only did they not surrender, but they actually said these words to me, Tubo?
Is it possible that they don’t know the true strength of our Tibetan people?
Obviously they, the Tang people, don't know this. After all, this is the first battle between the two sides.
"Everyone, since the Tang Dynasty has said such arrogant words, it seems that we don't need to give face to these Tang people.
Since they want to fight, let’s satisfy them and have a good fight with the Tang people.”
As he spoke, all the soldiers laughed again.
The Tibetan people also knew about the Tang Dynasty's campaign against the Turks in the north.
But we Tang people must not regard them as Tubo people as Turks.
To the Tubo people, those Turks were just a bunch of trash that couldn't even be solved by the Tang Dynasty?
This time they said they would teach these Tang people a severe lesson.
They, the Tang people, should understand that they should never say such arrogant words.
We also want them to know what to say and what not to say.
As he spoke, he began to organize his troops and launch an attack on Datang's city!
The horns of the charge sounded and the drums kept beating. Looking at the Tang Dynasty city in front of them, the Tubo people's bloodthirsty nature broke out and launched a fierce attack on it.
"General, general, the Tubo people have launched an attack on our city!"
The soldiers stationed in the city immediately passed the message over.
After hearing the news from the soldiers in front, all the generals in the general's mansion hurriedly left the mansion and rushed towards the city wall.
Arriving at the top of the city, I saw the enemy in the distance.
This group of Tubo people also marched in neat steps, slowly coming in batches towards the border city of the Tang Dynasty.
The siege vehicles and ladders on the left and right sides were all arranged. This time, it felt like they did not completely capture the border city of Datang. Obviously, they were sorry for the equipment they arranged this time.
"Hahahaha, okay, these Tubo people really dare to eat the ambitious leopard and attack our country, the Tang Dynasty.
All soldiers obey orders and prepare for battle."
"It's the general!"
"The messenger has sent us 800 miles to rush to Chang'an City and report the news to His Majesty.
Just say that the Tibetans are coming to attack."
"It's the general."
After arranging the task, I sent an express letter of 800 miles, left the border of Datang, and rushed towards Chang'an City.
While the soldiers on the Tang side were arranging these tasks, the soldiers on the Tubo side were no more than 500 meters away from the Tang city.
Seeing the enemy troops getting closer and closer, the soldiers guarding the city began to defend themselves.
The enemy's leading troops arrived at 200 meters, and the soldiers of Datang began to attack the enemy with arrows.
An overwhelming barrage of arrows were fired at the enemy.
When the enemy's vanguard saw Datang's arrows, they quickly picked up their shields and started fighting.
Dong dong dong, dong dong dong, the arrows hit the shield, and there was a sound.
Even with the slightest carelessness, some Tibetan soldiers were directly shot by Tang Dynasty's arrows and fell on the way to attack.
"Kill, kill!"
After arriving at the city wall, we began to arrange the ladders to attack the city. The leading Tibetan troops began to climb the ladders and prepare to advance.
In addition, the archers followed closely behind, using fire suppression and shooting arrows towards the top of the city wall of Datang.
Stones, rolled logs, and scalding hot oil were all used as if they were free of charge. When the enemy was about to climb up, they were dropped or thrown down.
The enemies were like candied haws on a stick, all repulsed from top to bottom, and fell heavily to the ground, letting out painful wails.
The occurrence of this situation is no longer surprising to everyone.
As the saying goes, one general's achievements lead to ten thousand bones being withered, and a city was captured. How could it not be that tens of thousands of soldiers laid it with their lives? As the war between the two sides continues.
"Come here and give me my order to prepare the sling."
The catapults were ready, and they began to launch further fierce attacks against the Tang Dynasty!
"No, the enemy is going to use slings, prepare to defend."
When there is no way to counter the sling, the power of the sling is no different from the ancient bomb.
Stones were thrown one by one towards the city on this side of the Tang Dynasty. Some soldiers of the Tang army were accidentally smashed into pulp because they did not hide their positions well.
At this scene, everyone in Tibet cheered and shouted, Tubo will win, Tubo will win.
Seeing that Tubo used slings, the soldiers from the Tang Dynasty began to make arrangements quickly.
"Let all the soldiers be careful, these Tubo people are too cunning and insidious.
Defend, defend, don't let them attack."
For a time, the entire city was filled with the sound of weapons being exchanged and shouts being heard.
This group of Tubo people began to climb up as if they were desperate, even if they were facing these Tang army soldiers.
Everyone was impressed when they saw this scene.
Although these people were enemies, their desperate fighting style gave people the feeling that they had only been seen among the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty.
But now seeing the appearance of the Tubo people made the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty full of fighting spirit.
If this group of Tubo people is not wiped out this time, for Datang, they will indeed be an opponent worthy of vigilance!
On the other side, the Tubo team and all the soldiers were filled with emotion when they saw this scene.
This group of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty was also the first time that the Tubo people encountered such a strong opponent during their campaign.
When the entire Tibetan army was united in the war, they fought with various other tribes, but no one noticed that the other tribes were powerful.
Now it seems that this group of Tang people can be considered a real opponent.
Since you are strong, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers will become even more powerful.
The two sides continued to engage in a desperate battle on this city.
The battle lasted from morning to evening, and did not end until nightfall.
As the horn of Ming Jin's retreat sounded, the Tubo people began to retreat quickly.
Carrying the ladder and pushing the siege equipment, they began to retreat and stopped 20 miles away from the Tang Dynasty city.
Previously, it was because the war between the two sides had not yet started, and subsequent reinforcements had not yet arrived.
Therefore, in order to prevent the enemy from sneak attack, the military camps are relatively far away.
But now the follow-up reinforcements have arrived, and the battle between the two sides has begun. In order to facilitate the attack tomorrow, they are closer to the city led by Datang.
Now that they are preserved, if the enemy attacks them by surprise, they can have a defensive distance.
At the same time, if there is a siege battle tomorrow, they can quickly arrange manpower to fight at this distance. It can be said that they can achieve more with one stone, which is very convenient.
The enemy troops retreated, and the soldiers on Datang's side began to quickly treat the wounded soldiers and organize various supplies to prepare for another enemy attack.
"General, we have calculated the casualties today. Today, our army attacked and killed more than 500 people and injured more than 2,000 people."
It is really unreasonable that this little Tubo should call me the Tang Dynasty, and the first day of the battle suffered such heavy losses?
If in normal times, you engage in battle with other people, offensive and defensive battles, it is possible to suffer tens of thousands of battle injuries in a day.
But to the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, Tubo was just a barbarian land.
This group of barbarians actually caused them so many injuries, but everyone felt very unhappy in their hearts.
But having said that, although these Tubo barbarians are, we cannot underestimate their Tibetan fighting power.
Don't be fooled by their identities.
Yes, yes, who says no?
The accompanying soldiers nodded in agreement. The strength of this group of Tubo people was indeed much stronger than the previous tribes.
But looking at their appearance, they must have suffered heavy losses in this battle.
As for the Tang people, they are not afraid of spending time with them.
When it comes to wars of attrition, the soldiers on our side of the Tang Dynasty have really never been afraid of anyone.
"Someone, please send the news to Chang'an City as soon as possible."
"It's the general."
Tubo military camp, after a group of Tubo soldiers arrived at the military camp, they also began to count casualties.
After counting their casualties, more than 2,000 soldiers were killed and more than 3,000 injured in this battle.
Seeing such casualties, everyone sighed.
Sure enough, the Prime Minister was right again, the combat effectiveness of this Tang people should not be underestimated.
If we underestimate the Tang people, they will definitely deal a severe blow to me, Tubo.
Yes, who says it’s not?
Everyone nodded secretly and then arranged for manpower to treat the wounded soldiers.
At the same time, a group of soldiers were sent into the camp to discuss and start studying the next battle plan.
In the next three days, the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo people launched another fierce battle.
The two sides are fighting when the sky is dark and the earth is dark, and there is no light from the sun or the moon. No matter how strong the enemy is, they cannot take a step into our Tang Dynasty.
"Oh, this is really unreasonable."
After the Tubo soldiers retreated, a group of soldiers gathered together again in the camp, all filled with righteous indignation.
The main reason is that this group of Tang people is very difficult to defeat. They have been attacking for three days without being able to defeat them.
On the contrary, the soldiers on their side suffered such heavy injuries.
To put it bluntly, if they had used such force, in their Tubo land, not to mention a small city, 10 cities would have been captured.
Fortunately, there were siege equipment provided by the Prime Minister. Otherwise, if they had attacked the city in the past few days, they would have suffered even more serious damage.
"I'm really pissed off, these abominable Tang people, these abominable Tang people."
If their battle continues for a while and the city of Tang Dynasty is still not captured, everyone said that they would be really embarrassed.
"The general asked me to suggest that we rest for a few days and at the same time send someone to report to Zamp.
I want Zanpu, the Prime Minister and the others to think of a way and provide a battle plan."
After all, this is their first war with the Tang Dynasty.
If this first round of fierce confrontation ends with a disastrous defeat for the Tubo side, it will be tantamount to a slap in the face of the Tubo side.
Therefore, no matter what, regarding the war with Datang this time, everyone must not be impatient, act steadily, and take one step at a time.
Try to capture the city of Datang.
At the same time, the victory of the battle is also particularly important for my next plan in Tubo.
These things, even if people don't understand some of the details, they can still know what they mean.
In this battle, we, Tubo, can only win but cannot fail.
