Murong Zhong's judgment was correct. The reason why Tubo's rear formation was in chaos this time was mainly because of the arrival of reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty. After many days of marching, Xue Rengui's army finally arrived at the front line, but they did not feel the slightest fatigue, especially
It was when they finally saw the enemy army they had not seen for a long time.
"General Ashina, you lead your troops to attack the enemy's left flank. General Guo, you lead your troops to attack the enemy's right flank. I will personally lead my troops to attack the middle...Huh? This General Guo is too impatient."
It turned out that when Xue Rengui was issuing the order, he saw that Guo Daifeng had already led his troops to rush towards the enemy's front, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Although he was dissatisfied with Guo Daifeng's constant dispatch and unauthorized advance, now was not the time to care about these things. Seeing that Guo Daifeng had already launched the attack, Xue Rengui had to temporarily adjust the attack plan, so that Ashina Daozhen continued to attack Tubo.
The left wing remained unchanged, but he turned to attack the enemy's right wing, and was forced to hand over the task of attacking the Chinese army to Guo Daifeng.
"Kill!" Although he had not fought for several years, Xue Rengui still had a militant element in his heart. He personally charged forward and led the army to launch a fierce attack.
This is a battle without any suspense. First of all, the Tang army has more people than the opponent, 50,000 to 30,000, which is almost a two-to-one comparison. Secondly, the Tang army’s combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the Tubo soldiers, because
These are the most elite soldiers near the capital; thirdly, the generals of the two sides are also incomparable. The chief general of the Tubo army is just a brave man, but the Tang army has some top-notch generals in history like Xue Rengui.
In addition to Xue Rengui, there are also first-class generals such as Guo Daifeng. In fact, let alone these two, even Ashina Daozhen's army commanding ability is far from comparable to that of the Tibetan army general Manji.
Ashina Daozhen and Xue Rengui led large armies to attack the left and right wings of the Tibetan army respectively, quickly cutting the enemy army into three parts. How could the Tibetan soldiers surrounded in the innermost place have any resistance in the panic? They looked like they were waiting to be slaughtered.
Like lambs, they could only bear the slaughter of the Tang army. The more than 10,000 people on the outermost periphery, led by the enemy general Manji, launched a desperate breakout. As for the soldiers who were surrounded behind, they did not care at this time.
Up.
"Brothers, follow me to find a way out. Now we have to fight hard to have any hope!" Since Manji was selected as a vanguard by Zanpo and was given the important task of attacking the city, he naturally has two brushes.
Seeing that the Tang army was too powerful to withstand the enemy, he decisively decided to retreat as much as he could. But when he saw that his retreat was blocked, he decided to fight with his back to survive, and encouraged the soldiers to fight their way out of the siege.
.
The soldiers around Manji also knew that rushing out bravely was their only hope, so they all fought with all their might.
Although Guo Daifeng can be regarded as a famous general, he only has thousands of heavy troops around him, and his combat effectiveness is relatively weak. Coupled with his strategic mistakes, he did not leave a way for the enemy to survive as usual in order to disintegrate the enemy.
Instead of reducing the morale of the army, they blocked all the enemy's retreat routes. As a result, the enemy army fought hard. It was difficult to stop them for a while, and they were soon torn open by the enemy army. As a result, the surrounded Tubo soldiers were like a flood.
, swarmed out from this opening.
Guo Daifeng had guarded Shancheng before. In fact, he was quite familiar with the combat effectiveness of the Tibetan sergeants. He knew that most of them were a mob. As long as the formation was messed up, no matter how many people the army had, it would immediately fall apart. It was based on this understanding that he
He took the initiative to lead the crowd to attack the enemy's front. The purpose was naturally to compete with Xue Rengui. However, what he did not expect was that the enemy's combat effectiveness was so strong. The attack he led did not break up the enemy's formation.
, on the contrary, his formation began to scatter. If he had not been concerned about the powerful offensives of the Tang Army's left and right wings and only focused on breaking through, Guo Daifeng would have suffered heavy losses in this battle.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, someone stepped forward and finally blocked the gap.
And this person who stepped forward was Li Xian, who had the highest position in terms of reputation, but his actual authority was subordinate to Guo Daifeng!
According to the original battle plan, Li Xian was actually just a spectator. The three hundred palace guards he commanded were just private soldiers, and their mission was just to put up a battle array to scare people. But fortunately for this spectator, because he was right there.
When Guo Daifeng's army was in danger, Li Xian rode out and led Tang Xiujing, Zhang Wuchen, Gao Sheji and other generals to quickly kill hundreds of Tibetan soldiers who were trying to break out of the encirclement, thus stabilizing the situation.
In fact, Manji, the chief general of the Tubo army, can indeed be regarded as a competent general, because when the army retreated, he took the initiative to lead his soldiers to the rear. However, this time he did not expect that his behavior that should be praised was not
It brought immeasurable disaster to myself.
Because he soon discovered that the army that was breaking out had stalled for some reason.
"What are the people in front doing? Why don't you break out quickly?" Manji couldn't help but became furious when he saw this, and yelled at the people in front.
Not long after, someone reported to him the reason. It turned out that a team of three to four hundred people had rushed out from nowhere and blocked the army's retreat. No matter how hard the soldiers broke through, they could never move forward.
"What are you talking about? Only three or four hundred people blocked the retreat of more than 10,000 of my men? What are you doing for food?" Manji became even more angry after hearing this, but at this time he didn't care to blame the soldiers, so he had to
He rode up to the front of the formation, ready to open the gap himself.
This Manji was the most brave general under Zan Po. He had a caltrop bone in his hand, which was a long-handled mace. When he saw that the soldiers were indeed blocked from retreat by a group of Tang troops with bright armor, he happened to see
Not far away, a soldier from the Tang Dynasty was massacring his subordinates. He was so furious that he immediately rode forward and swung his iron caltrops at the Tang soldier.
The soldier of the Tang Dynasty, a soldier of the Tang Army, was struggling to kill the enemy. He did not expect that he would encounter an enemy general, let alone a sneak attack. Only when he heard a dull sound of breaking through the air did he realize that
He was in danger, but at this time he had no choice but to avoid it.
The soldier thought he was going to die, but he didn't expect that a sharp sound broke through the air suddenly from behind. He only heard a loud clang, and the Fan general let out a strange sound. Almost at the same time, the Fan general
The thorn bones fell into the empty space.
Just when the soldier was glad that he had saved his life, he heard the sound of horse hooves passing by, and then heard someone say: "How could you be so careless? Go to the back first and plunder the formation for me."
"Your Majesty." As soon as the soldier heard this voice, he knew that he was the King of Zhou Li Xian. He was immediately excited, but saw Li Xian lightly leaping past him on horseback, and then shouted loudly: "The enemy general Wu!"
, how dare you bully a soldier under my account, who has the ability to make a difference in the future."
But he said that Manji was originally going to smash the Tang Dynasty soldier to death, but he didn't expect that he was knocked out of the way by a flying arrow. As a result, the soldier who was supposed to die actually took a life. He couldn't help but feel angry.
He didn't show any weakness when the other party shouted like this, and asked loudly: "Is the person here Xue Rengui?"
But he saw the other party shaking his head and saying: "No, I am just an ordinary general. How can I use General Xue to deal with a reckless man like you? Thief general, stop talking nonsense and accept your orders."
Upon hearing this, Manji burst into laughter and said: "If you were Xue Rengui, I would give you three points, but you, an unknown young general, dare to act wild in front of me. You really don't take me seriously. Since you are looking for death, I will
It’s done for you, then suffer death.”
Without waiting for the opponent to take action, Manji stepped forward on his horse, brandishing the iron caltrops, and smashed directly towards the opponent's top door. Manji's move was so powerful and heavy, it was like Mount Tai pressing down on the top, so the name "Taishan pressing down on the top" was his habit.
He once used this move to kill more than ten generals including Zheng Guang, the governor of Liangzhou in the Tang Dynasty. It was expected that the young general in front of him would be unable to withstand his own special move. Like those ten generals, he would eventually die.
Lost here.
The opponent's next move also strengthened his judgment, because he saw that the opponent actually raised the spear in his hand to the top of his head, preparing to receive his blow forcefully.
"Hmph, you ignorant fool. I am known for my strength. This move weighs at least two hundred kilograms. How can you catch it? Even if you can catch it, how can you hold up your spear shaft?
"
Manji was originally a little wary when he saw Li Xian's outstanding archery skills, but now that he saw that the other party dared to do such a stupid thing, he couldn't help but sneer secretly. In the process of sneering, he naturally increased his strength and prepared to kill the other party in one fell swoop.
.
But the moment his iron caltrop bone came into contact with the opponent's spear shaft, he immediately realized that he had been fooled, because after the two weapons came into contact, there was a huge metal collision sound, and then he felt his arms numb.
, even the tiger's mouth was cracked, and the caltrop bones in his hands were almost unbearable.
"This spear shaft is actually made of iron! How strong must this Tang general be?" Manji's face suddenly turned pale. Then he realized that the opponent's strength was much greater than his own, so no wonder he dared to attack him forcefully.
But it was too late to regret at this time, because at the moment when he was in a daze, he saw the man wielding the iron spear with ease, and pierced his throat as fast as lightning, and he even felt pain
Without even feeling it, he suddenly hit the ground...
But even so, the Tang general still didn't let him go. The man picked up his body with an iron spear again, and then shouted loudly: "Listen, all the Tubo soldiers, your general is dead. It will be difficult for us to continue fighting."
It’s useless. It’s better to surrender quickly and save a life. If you continue to resist, this man will be an example for you!” (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
