Chapter 573 The Tang Dynasty was defeated, the imperial examination and military examination were held
On the other hand, soldiers from the Tang Dynasty gathered in the military camp and prepared to launch an attack on the Tibetan city.
"Everyone in the city in front of you, our army's reconnaissance officers have come to report that the enemy's city is very close. Our army of the Tang Dynasty can launch a fierce attack on this group of enemies at any time and at any time. It's up to the general to decide."
"Everyone, it is said that the city in front of us looks like a large city for them.
It is said that the scale of this city is much larger than any city we captured.
From the looks of it, these Tubo boys are planning to use the city in front of them to fight to the death with the Tang Dynasty.
Soldiers, are you ready for battle this time?"
After hearing what the general said, the other generals nodded repeatedly and burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha, General, we have already been prepared for battle and can launch an attack on this group of Tibetans at any time and at any time.
After conquering his city, we will definitely crush all of their enemies."
Everyone was talking about the awe-inspiring atmosphere, and it looked like they were determined not to give up until they were all crushed.
"My fellow soldiers, these enemies are indeed hateful. As I said before, we are now entering Tibet to fight. We must remember to be prepared to fight when we fight them.
Today's battle is a critical moment in the battle, and the personnel and materials in the rear are also being mobilized one after another.
This battle is also very important, so we can only succeed and cannot allow failure."
Seeing the city in front of them and hearing the news from the soldiers in front, the generals began to discuss and study.
After some discussion and research, it was decided to continue the campaign against the Tibetan city in five days.
Seeing the joy on the faces of all the soldiers in the city in front of them, they will definitely be able to hold them firmly in the next battle.
The accompanying soldiers thought for a moment and whispered.
"According to what the previous doctor said, what does altitude sickness mean?"
I just muttered it quietly to myself, and no one mentioned it again.
As the previous doctor said, on the day I suffered from altitude sickness, I went to the injured barracks and found out that the physical condition of the soldiers there was not as bad as they imagined.
It seems that the so-called altitude sickness is just a small excuse mentioned by the previous doctors.
Now it seems that nothing happens to the soldiers on our side.
They are the Tubo people, they are determined this time.
"Okay, I want all my soldiers to be ready for battle.
On the day the city is conquered, no scrap of armor will be left."
Orders were passed out one after another, and all the soldiers were ready for war.
This group of hateful enemies, everyone expressed their determination to kill them all.
Five days passed by in a blink of an eye. On this day, the soldiers on the Tang Dynasty lined up their troops, began to assemble, and began to advance towards the enemy's city.
Anyone with a discerning eye will notice that most of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who came to line up their troops today did not look particularly good.
Although everyone's morale is strong, if knowledgeable doctors gather here, they will find that each of them seems to have a serious illness.
However, as for the soldiers, they did not notice this abnormality in their bodies. They were still arranging their troops and preparing to kill the enemy.
On the other side, a group of Tubo soldiers had also received the news, and the Tang Dynasty began to fight with them.
All the soldiers looked determined and prepared for battle.
He vowed to kill all these Tang people.
"General, our army's spies have sent word that these Tang people are going to launch an attack on us.
This time it seems like they are trying to hold us tightly."
"Everyone, this time we will not stick to the city. We will directly form our troops and go out of the city to fight against this group of enemies.
The Tang Dynasty's attack on the city is relatively fierce. If we still stay here, what awaits us may really be a dead end."
As for the offensive and defensive battles, to everyone, they have already seen the capabilities of the Tang army in offensive and defensive battles.
The siege equipment of the Tang army was too powerful. If their soldiers did not seize the opportunity in the ensuing battle, what awaited the Tubo people might really be a dead end.
Instead of doing this, it is better to go out of the city and fight with the Tang people, killing them until the sky is dark, and killing them until the sun and the moon shine.
Let the Tang people know that I, the Tubo people, are not easy to mess with.
After hearing what the general said, everyone nodded.
In this case, there is no need to say more. Since the Tang people are coming to fight, everyone decided to fight them to the death.
The entire city combined has more than 70,000 soldiers.
These are more than 70,000 people. If they can't defeat the Tang people again, they will be really embarrassed this time.
If the Tang Dynasty wins this time, the Tubo people will definitely die.
"Everyone, this time for Zanpu and for me, Tubo, I will fight with the Tang people.
You will win, you will win."
Then they began to gather troops, opened all the city gates on all sides, and the Tubo people came out to start a final desperate struggle with the Tang Dynasty.
"General, our army's scouts have come to report that these Tibetans are not staying in their city, but have deployed all their troops.
It seems that they already know that. Hiding in their city, what awaits them will definitely be besieged by our Tang Dynasty, with a dead end.
And if you start a face-to-face battle with me, Datang, you will die more happily anyway, hahahaha."
Everyone laughed heartily, as if the upcoming battle would not be easy for these Tubo people.
"Everyone must remember that a arrogant army will be defeated, but I think it will be fine if we face this group of Tubo people with pride."
Naked sarcasm and disdainful sarcasm spread around the Tang Dynasty.
For a certain kind of soldiers, it seems that the things they do and the words they say are taken for granted.
And the Tubo people were tightly controlled by the Tang Dynasty, and everything was under control.
"Everyone, since they want to fight to the death with me, the Tang Dynasty, send me an order for the army to stop attacking.
Advance according to the usual formation of troops, and fight with the Tibetan people with real swords and guns."
Battles have rules of battle, and sieges also have methods of arranging troops for siege.
Now that this group of enemies is thinking of starting a decisive battle with them, they can fulfill their dream of fighting and have a good fight with the enemy.
"It's the general."
Immediately afterwards, the soldiers on Datang's side began to arrange and prepare step by step.
Prepare for a fierce battle with the enemy.
"General and the soldiers from the Tang Dynasty have stopped dispatching. It seems that they have learned about our plan and want to have a good fight with us."
Upon hearing this news, the Tubo general showed a fierce expression.
Don’t you think that you Tang people can really manipulate me like Tubo at will?
Since they Tang people are so arrogant, this time I will definitely let them know that if people are too arrogant, they will be punished.
God, please give us Tibetan soldiers strength.
This time we will definitely destroy the Tang Dynasty."
As he spoke, everyone's expressions were full of determination.
Until the soldiers on both sides were all in formation, they just stared at each other.
A more intense battle will follow.
"Everyone, there is their Tubo boy in front of us. This Tubo boy is indeed very arrogant.
They actually have the guts to launch an attack on my country, the Tang Dynasty. I will let them know the price they have to pay for offending my country, the Tang Dynasty.
Send my order and launch the attack."
"Send the general's order to launch an attack."
News of the attacks spread out one after another, and the soldiers on Datang's side began to take the lead in launching attacks.
"Soldiers, these Tang people are really too arrogant.
They came to our Tubo land and killed and tortured wildly. If we don't kill them, we will destroy them ruthlessly.
Do they really think that I, the Tang Dynasty, are easy to bully?"
As he spoke, anger appeared on the faces of all the Tubo soldiers.
Seeing these Tang people coming to fight, everyone was ready to resist desperately.
Seeing that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty had launched an attack, the soldiers of the Tubo side also gave the order, and everyone began to launch a fierce attack on them.
With the clarion call of war, the leading troops of both sides began to come into contact and collided.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty raised their swords and launched a fierce attack on the enemy.
The soldiers on the Tibetan side were not to be outdone and launched a frantic resistance.
The vanguard began to suffer damage the moment they collided.
Mainly because the weapons of the Tang Dynasty were so powerful that even the soldiers could not handle them.
We have no choice but to continue fighting with all our strength.
But the Tang Dynasty was going on a killing spree.
"The damn Tang people are fighting with you. This time, even if the Tubo soldiers are cut in half by the weapons of the Tang army, at the moment of death, they must hold the Tang Dynasty and prepare to die together."
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty at the rear shook their heads when they saw the situation in front.
It's such a pity that no matter how powerful they are, for their soldiers, what awaits them is just a dead end.
What they are doing now is just to delay their own death.
Seeing everything in front of them, everyone laughed disdainfully.
Compared to the Tang people, these Tubo children were easy to handle.
There is no other possibility.
"Damnable Tang people."
Seeing the battle between the two sides, the faces of the Tubo people were ashen. Is it possible that this time, the Tubo people and the Tang people will really win a complete victory?
"God, we hold sacrifices every year. Why don't you protect me, the people of Tibet, at this moment? Instead, I, Tibet, are being ravaged by these Tang people?"
The hearts of all the soldiers had dropped at this moment, and they didn't know what to say this time. After that, the general said that he would directly take over the army and fight in person.
As a general, you should not put yourself in danger, but lead the overall situation.
But this time I can no longer care so much. If I fail, I really can only die to apologize.
"General, I will accompany the general in the battle."
All the soldiers understood that in this battle, failure would lead to failure.
With the joining of their Tubo generals, the morale of the Tubo soldiers has been greatly boosted. Even the generals have begun to join the battle. Isn't this battle a sure win?
He directly fought with the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and killed the Tang people with his sword. Then he quickly bent down, threw his own weapons aside, and picked up their weapons.
Since the weapons of the Tang people are so powerful, I will use their weapons to fight this time.
Suddenly, the entire battlefield heard the handover of weapons and the sounds of fighting between the two sides!
"Everyone, I have to admit that the Tubo people are indeed a difficult opponent.
If we give them the same weapons, our army will definitely suffer heavy losses.
It’s just a pity that the enemy will definitely be defeated this time.”
Just as the general behind Datang looked calm, watching the battle, the entire battlefield changed drastically.
The soldiers fighting in the front suddenly felt weak all over and their minds went blank.
The battle only happened in an instant, but I was stunned for a moment, and when I realized it again, my head had been chopped off by the Tubo people.
The Tubo people who were fighting in the front had also become smart. They threw away their weapons, picked up the weapons of the Tang people, and continued to fight.
Looking at the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were in charge of the overall situation from the rear, they stared at the battle taking place in front of the soldiers and frowned.
What's going on with the soldiers in the front? I've been killed several times by the enemy just by looking at him. How come he suddenly stood aside while being beaten?
What's more, some of them collapsed directly on the ground. What's going on?
"General, general, something bad is going on. The soldiers fighting in front of me are all dizzy and weak."
"What, what's going on? It doesn't make sense!"
While he was speaking, a much better Tang Dynasty soldier was beheaded by the enemy. The moment his head was harvested, cheers came from the Tibetan people!
"Tubo will win, Tubo will win."
All officers and men, kill them all, kill them all. Kill them.
At this time, they were like gods descending to earth, possessing the body and beating harder and harder.
On the contrary, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were retreating steadily. The soldiers fighting in the front also discovered this situation. Some of the Tang soldiers suddenly fell to the ground while they were fighting, watching helplessly as they harvested the heads?
What would this strange situation be if not for the gods coming down to earth to help them? "
General, I see that this situation is not good for us, Datang, so we should retreat!"
Seeing more and more soldiers being crushed crazily by the enemy, General Datang's expression changed drastically.
The order to retreat was immediately issued!
As the retreat horn was sounded, the soldiers on Datang's side quickly retreated.
"General, these Tang people are about to retreat, should we attack?"
The Tubo general thought for a moment and remembered that what happened just now must be the blessing of Tianshen Mountain.
Since they are blessed by the gods, they have arrived from the Tibetan people.
This opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come back again. Kill all the invading Tang people.
The so-called taboo of military strategists was completely forgotten by the poor enemy Mo Zhui, and he directly gave the order to charge and kill the Tang people.
The two sides launched a desperate struggle on the battlefield.
But this time, what excited everyone in Tubo was that these Tang people were so easy to kill that they could even fight one against five.
For a time, the whole land was filled with dead heads and rivers of blood. Most of them were soldiers of the Tang army. On the contrary, the Tibetan side was not injured too much!
"Military doctor, military doctor!"
A group of soldiers quickly rushed to the military camp and continued to organize manpower to resist.
I quickly called the military doctor and explained the altitude sickness again!
The military doctor mentioned this altitude sickness before. If this situation occurs today, could it be that all my soldiers are suffering from altitude sickness?
When the military doctor heard what was happening ahead, he quickly analyzed the situation and concluded that this time it must be altitude sickness.
And after this kind of altitude sickness occurs, especially after doing strenuous exercise, you have to take a big breath.
The two sides were fighting, which required a lot of energy and the need to breathe heavily.
There was insufficient air above them, and Tang Jun could not adapt. As a result, he needed a lot of air, but could not breathe. His body could not replenish it in time, so he became weak, weak and even fell to the ground.
What? That makes no sense!
I never thought that one day I would be defeated by the enemy in their usual way of breathing.
"General, this enemy is coming, let's retreat quickly!"
"Withdraw, how can we withdraw with so many soldiers!"
"General, you don't care about so much anymore. We are willing to stay and fight with the enemy, General, and we are willing to stay and fight with the enemy to cut off the road for the General and the soldiers. General, please retreat quickly."
Now the situation is no longer one where all of them can hesitate. They must withdraw when they need to.
Otherwise, if they hesitate for a while, their entire Tang army may be wiped out.
The general thought for a moment and left ten thousand soldiers behind to cut off the road in the rear.
He took the remaining 20,000 soldiers and began to retreat!
Seeing that the Tang Dynasty wanted to retreat, the Tubo soldiers also divided their troops into two groups, one group to fight and the other group to pursue.
The pursuit of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty lasted for two days and two nights, until the Tang Dynasty arrived at a city. The soldiers quickly entered the city, the air became calm, everyone breathed smoothly, and their bodies were full of strength before it ended.
Immediately afterwards, troops were formed to resist. After counting, there were only more than 10,000 people left, and the remaining soldiers had not returned.
I saw the Tang people entering the city.
"General, the Tang people's city is ahead of us. They still have a few thousand people left at most. Do we want to launch an attack?"
"Hey, everyone, if we don't carry siege weapons this time, we shouldn't attack with them.
How many soldiers will our army need to destroy the Tang Dynasty this time?"
"General, this time our army won a complete victory. At least we killed more than 100,000 Tang people!"
More than 100,000 people. Hahahaha.
When they heard about the enemy's casualties, the leading generals and soldiers all laughed heartily.
As for their casualties on the Tibetan side, all visual inspections indicate that they were only about 20,000 people.
This time, 100,000 enemy troops were wiped out at the cost of 20,000 troops. This was five times the number of enemy troops. It directly equalized all their previous losses. Not only was the enemy evened out, but they also achieved fruitful results.
This is really good news, but they did not carry siege equipment, otherwise, the enemy forces in front would definitely be able to completely wipe them out.
"General, why don't we surround him and kill them all?"
"Forget it, let them live first, we will retreat and recover all the cities.
By the way, please send someone to report this good news to Zamp immediately, let these Tang people go, and let them go back and report the news.
If we kill them all, who will tell them about this to the Tang Dynasty?"
Only this group of living people said, tell them that those other people know how powerful I, the Tibetan people, are!
"The general is wise."
It is said that people are in high spirits during happy events. In the past, they were beaten down by the Tang people, but in the end they were bullied by the Tang army.
He originally thought of committing suicide, but now he led the final battle and achieved a complete victory.
I couldn't help but sigh when I was happy.
"Oh, this Tang Dynasty is nothing more than that. A small Tang Dynasty can easily handle it.
This time it must be reported to Zamp, and it will definitely not affect Zamp's plan.
And not only will it not affect the plans of Zamp and the Prime Minister, it will even add a beautiful scenery to their plans."
Everyone laughed when they heard this, then turned around and ran towards the rear.
Nowadays, many of the Tibetan towns have been slaughtered by the Tang people, and there is nothing left to conquer.
The most important thing is to return to the rear first, recuperate and wait for the next battle with the Tang army.
"Report, report, general, the Tibetans have retreated."
In the general's mansion, everyone's expressions were as low as possible.
In this battle, they failed at the cost of nearly wiping out their entire army. Let me ask, who can accept such a situation, no matter who it is placed on?
"General, what should we do next?"
"Everyone, let's retreat to the southwest border first, and I will report the news to His Majesty.
Even if His Majesty takes the blame this time, I will be solely responsible for it and it has nothing to do with you."
This time, I was originally in a situation where I was sure to win, but in the end I was defeated.
Thinking of what the military doctor said, if they had listened to the dissuasion of the accompanying military doctor at that time, wouldn't they have rashly sent troops?
It is entirely possible to dispatch a small force to test the situation.
But they had never heard of altitude sickness. They had only heard of mountains, rivers, deserts, swamps, etc.
But these things can be seen with the naked eye, but who knew that a so-called altitude sickness would occur, and it was all related to breathing.
Who has encountered this?
"General, we are all guilty of this matter. If His Majesty is to blame, we are willing to bear the responsibility."
It was originally a happy event, but now it has capsized in the ditch, and the whole army is almost wiped out.
Just when everyone was preparing to rest for a day and start to retreat, in the afternoon, two soldiers rode over on war horses and quickly rushed in when they saw the city of Datang in the distance.
When they arrived at the General's Mansion, they both had a lot of injuries!
They are the two generals who will cover the retreat of the large forces this time.
"Everyone, where are the others?"
"The general and the rest of the army were wiped out. The soldiers covered us and we broke out."
A man doesn't shed tears lightly, but it's just not the time to feel sad.
At this moment, I just feel that my heart is bleeding and my eyes are red. So many of the soldiers who came to fight with them this time were buried in Tubo.
If the two sides are really fighting with real swords and guns, then it’s fine that they are not their opponents, or that they were tricked by the enemy and they didn’t know what to do.
But this time the battle just felt too frustrating.
Before I knew what was going on, the Tubo people took advantage of him.
"Everyone, give me the military order to start retreating."
Then there was another urgent letter of 800 miles, and they rushed to Chang'an City. I hope that after His Majesty finds out, he can just punish himself. The other soldiers who followed him were unjustly punished!
…
Chang'an City.
Late summer and autumn are coming.
During this period of time, Li Er was very proud of himself.
It can be said that the entire Tang Dynasty is full of good news, which makes me feel very good.
Nowadays, the whole Tang Dynasty is full of good news, and the whole world is having a good harvest this year.
It looks like it's been another good year.
In addition, the vigorous imperial examination held in Chang'an City has also begun.
In the academy he founded in Lantian County, all the students who had failed in the previous imperial examinations signed up to take part in the imperial examination this time.
For everyone, this imperial examination is an opportunity to change their entire destiny.
Everyone is well prepared for the final battle.
This year I will definitely be able to get on the gold list and go directly to high school.
The examination was conducted in the same way as before. All the examiners were arranged in the palace and no one of them was allowed to communicate with anyone.
At the same time, this time the test questions were excerpted from books by Li Er, and he made the outline himself, and then let them choose.
I also understand that after the first method was used to let them participate on their own, some people wanted to cause trouble behind their backs. In the end, because they could not communicate with other people, the trouble was not successful.
But this second opportunity is different. If he continues the method used last time, some of him will definitely tell the children in his family about the upcoming test questions in advance.
Doesn't this mean that we are directly cheating indirectly?
It is unfair to other students.
Therefore, the method Li Er took to deal with this matter was also very simple.
Through such small means, the enemy can be firmly grasped.
Let them come up with the overall test questions themselves, and then let them look for new test questions within the overall test questions. In this way, even if they have thought about how to do things in advance, they will have nowhere to do anything.
When the time comes, I ask you to prepare in advance. Even if you prepare in advance, it will be wrong.
When the officials who became examiners were called upon by His Majesty again to give examination questions, everyone looked calm.
After all, the children of the family have been told in advance which ones to practice again, because that will be what they will do this time.
However, when they arrived at the palace, they originally wanted to show off their skills, but His Majesty's order made everyone confused again.
While being confused, everyone was shocked.
What, His Majesty has issued an examination question outline this time and wants them to choose topics within the scope of this outline?
Doesn’t it mean that they have full authority to arrange their manual operations for each question?
Why did Your Majesty suddenly outline it again? Your Majesty, what does this mean?
Hearing everyone's discussion, Wei Zheng did not do anything to cover up, and directly told the reason.
Your Majesty wants to be fair and just for these students. You all have students in your family who are participating in this year's scientific examination, and you are the examiners. Who knows whether you will report the examination questions in advance.
Then when the test paper comes out again, write down the test questions that you have mastered in advance so that the children in your family can take advantage of the loopholes?
When everyone heard this, they felt a mouthful of old blood spurting out again!
Let me ask you what kind of fairy theory this is. You, Mr. Wei Zheng, are simply spitting blood.
We are going to the palace to see His Majesty.
"Okay everyone, what will you do even if you see His Majesty?
Your Majesty has made you the examiner just because he trusts you.
If you don't want to be an examiner, that's okay, but you already know the scope of the exam questions, and it's definitely impossible to leave here.
The palace next to it has also been prepared for you. If you don't want to take the exam, you can go directly to the palace next to you and have a good rest.
You will not be released until the imperial examination is over.
But don’t worry, Your Majesty will prepare all the food and drink expenses for all of you.
Even if you didn’t do anything.”
Hearing what Wei Zheng said, everyone felt like another mouthful of old blood was brewing in their hearts, and it spurted out with a pop.
Damn, it's so hateful.
This is simply making everyone look like fools.
Let everyone say that they are angry, but they are also helpless.
It's okay if he is angry. Even if His Majesty thinks so in his heart, he will never say these words.
Presumably, the person who said this must have been Wei Zheng himself, in order to stimulate them.
Wei Zheng, a common man, will definitely read your book when we get a chance.
Speaking of this, he gave them another hard look, rolled up his sleeves and walked in.
In the following time, they will stay here until the test papers are arranged and everyone has taken the imperial examination before they can come out.
Thinking of this, his face was filled with anger.
Now it seems that it is definitely impossible to cause trouble with him. He can only let his children study hard.
Youdao's holy will is unpredictable. Who knows what exam questions His Majesty will arrange next year?
All we can do is ask the students at home to study more and master more knowledge.
He won the next imperial examination.
Apart from that, there is no other way.
Hearing the news from over there, Li Er smiled disdainfully.
Sure enough, after the method they used last year, they had a new method. If they hadn't been prepared in advance, they would have taken advantage of it.
Thinking of these makes people feel very unhappy.
But now it seems that there is no loophole for them to take advantage of. After all, everything has been firmly controlled by themselves.
Speaking of this, Li Er burst out laughing.
This feels very good.
"By the way, how are the arrangements for the martial arts examination over there?"
"Your Majesty, we are steadily convening the military examination.
It's just that Wei Chen also heard the common people saying that he hoped that the military examination and the imperial examination would not be held at the same time.
It is said that some people are good at literature and martial arts and hope to take part in the imperial examinations and martial arts exams at the same time.
But Your Majesty, what the people say cannot be taken seriously."
