Upon learning that the scouts had returned from the front line, Zhao Chen immediately had people come to his account.
They have stayed here long enough. If there is no chance to attack again, they may not be able to defeat Luoxi's army. Even the ten thousand of them may not be able to escape.
"Your Highness, the last general has been ordered to investigate. There are five thousand infantry troops stationed ten miles to the left and right behind the Luoxi army."
"The left and right sides are horns to each other, guarding the rear of Luoxi's army."
"One of the defenders on the right is Luo Xi's younger brother Luo Ming. The position he is stationed in is less than three miles away from the grain depot at the rear of Luo Xi's army."
"And there are 15,000 infantrymen stationed at the Luoxi Army's grain depot." The scout introduced the intelligence ahead to Zhao Chen in detail.
When all the generals present heard the arrangement of Luoxi's army, their faces suddenly showed embarrassment.
The opponent's number was already greater than theirs, and now they were arranged so closely that they could hardly find any chance.
The left and right wings behind Luoxi's army are horns for each other. No matter which one they attack, they will soon be noticed by the other one.
Once Luoxi knew about the attack, their 10,000 cavalrymen would be surrounded by a large army.
At that time, not only will it not be able to achieve the unexpected effect, but the whole army will even have to be wiped out and left here.
"Your Highness, the other party's arrangement is too tight. Should we wait a little longer?" Although it would be extremely difficult for them to continue to wait.
But if we don't wait and rush out rashly, it's even more likely that the whole army will be annihilated.
Whether to attack or tolerate is a very difficult choice nowadays.
All eyes turned to Zhao Chen, waiting for his final decision.
At this moment, Zhao Chen was somewhat undecided.
If they don't attack, they may be trapped and die here.
Attack, and it is very likely to be surrounded by Luoxi's army.
Zhao Chen had never been so entangled as he is now, and the atmosphere was solidified, but no one took the initiative to speak, and just looked at Zhao Chen silently.
"Pass my military order..." It took a long time before everyone heard Zhao Chen's voice.
"The 10,000 cavalrymen were divided into two groups, one group of 7,000, led by General Zhang, to attack the 5,000 troops of Luoming on the enemy's left."
"Be sure to let the enemy troops on the right rush to support. The remaining three thousand cavalry will follow me from the right to attack the enemy's right flank, and attack the enemy's grain depot." Zhao Chen issued the order.
Everyone’s expressions changed,
The cavalry, which originally numbered 10,000, was now divided into two teams, one pair had 7,000 men, and the other pair had only 3,000 men.
If they were even slightly surrounded by enemy troops, both teams would die.
"Your Highness, isn't it too dangerous to do this?" A general advised.
But Zhao Chen ignored him and just said more firmly: "This battle is very important. If we lose, we will all die!"
"I hope each of you can go back alive!"
"Understand!"
"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.
They also knew in their hearts that there was absolutely no way back for them in this battle, either they would die or the other party would die.
…
Dust and smoke fill the air, war horses neigh, flags are flying, and horns are flying.
"General Luo Xi, according to the time calculation, it was the Tang Dynasty that reached the rear of our army. It is estimated that the food and grass are insufficient."
"If there is any action, it will probably only be in these two days!"
"I hope General Luo Xi will remind all battalions to be more careful!" As night fell, Lu Dongzan was a little worried. He glanced at the night sky in the distance and turned back to Luo Xi.
Luo Xi glanced at Lu Dongzan and felt a little impatient, but she still did not argue with Lu Dongzan.
In any case, Lu Dongzan was the Prime Minister of Tubo and was sent here personally by Songtsan cadres, so Luo Xi had to give him some face.
After waving his hand to signal his subordinates to inform the generals of each battalion, Luo Xi smiled and said: "It's been several days, and I don't know if they starved to death or what?"
"If I were Zhao Chen, I would definitely lead the army to retreat as soon as I saw that there was no chance at all!"
In his words, Luo Xi just didn't want to believe that Zhao Chen was still leading the army and hiding behind their army.
"Zhao Chen is very scheming, and he is different from many of us. This person is extremely tolerant and will never take action easily until the last moment, so we cannot relax at all." Lu Dongzan said slowly.
If Luo Xi was not picking up Lu Dongzan, he thought that Lu Dongzan went to Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty and was frightened by Zhao Chen.
How capable can a young man who is not as young as his prime be?
…
"General, there is still no movement. Your Highness the King of Han and others will not..." In Li Jing's military tent, a general looked at Li Jing with a seductive look on his face.
It had been a long time since they had received any news about Zhao Chen. Even they could not help but worry that Zhao Chen and his army had problems in the rear.
Although the other generals did not speak, they all had the same melancholy look on their faces.
What's even more strange is that there is no movement at all in the capital city of Gaochang.
Niu Jinda led tens of thousands of Tang soldiers to the capital of Gaochang.
But the strange thing is that since they entered the capital of Gaochang Kingdom, no news has been sent out.
Doubts have arisen in everyone's minds.
"Your Highness will be fine, don't worry!" Li Jing said expressionlessly.
Although he was also worried about Zhao Chen's safety, at this time, he must not show any panic.
"What about General Niu and my 30,000 compatriots from the Tang Dynasty? They went to the capital of Gaochang. Why are there no news at all?" Another general asked doubtfully.
"It doesn't matter, we just need to do our own thing. We should keep an eye on the movements of Luoxi's army at all times, and don't worry about anything else." Li Jing said in a deep voice.
At this moment, they did not have the extra thoughts and troops to take care of the affairs of the capital of Gaochang Kingdom.
Now they only need to keep an eye on the Luoxi army in front of them.
As long as they can successfully defeat Luoxi's army, no matter what happens in the capital of Gaochang, they will have the power to solve it.
If Luoxi's army cannot be defeated, it means that Zhao Chen is likely to have trouble in the rear, and Li Jing should withdraw his troops immediately.
Station troops on the border of the Tang Dynasty to guard against invading enemies at any time.
The generals stopped talking, but there was deep worry on everyone's face.
There has been no news for such a long time, and these 50,000 of them seem to be isolated from the entire world.
I don’t know whether the next days will be a blessing or a curse.
At the same time, two Tibetan armies of 5,000 men and horses were stationed in camps ten miles away on the left and right sides of the Luoxi army.
And behind the hillside not far from them, there were two cavalrymen of the Tang Dynasty who were ready to go and were as powerful as a rainbow.
Zhao Chen is riding on a sweaty horse. In the dark night in the distance, a few scattered stars are dotted in the night sky.
There was not even a neigh from the three thousand war horses.
Everyone is waiting, waiting for the moment when the moon sets in the west and Venus first appears.
