Although they had just experienced a great battle and caused nearly double the number of casualties to the enemy, and the Tibetan army had been frustrated by the battle, even so, the Tang army was at an absolute disadvantage. Now Wang Xiaojie only had eight soldiers under his command.
There are about a thousand people, but the Tibetan army still has nearly 50,000 people.
It was almost an eight-to-one ratio. Under such circumstances, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty not only suffered a narrow escape from death? They simply suffered a tenth death without any survival!
However, all the soldiers did not give in. They still organized defense meticulously and tried their best to resist every wave of enemy attacks.
At this time, Mai Gongda, the deputy general of the Tibetan army, said to the commander-in-chief, Garzan Gongdun, the fifth brother of Garqinling, Bolunzanren: "General, I don't understand. They wrote in the Tang Man's Art of War,
Ten times of siege. Although our army's strength is not ten times as strong as it is now, it is still seven or eight times stronger. Why does our army not adopt the strategy of long-term siege, but instead launches uninterrupted attacks at the expense of the lives of our soldiers? What's wrong with this?
Is there any truth to be said?"
But I heard Bo Lunzan snort and said calmly: "You know nothing! What's the situation now? Although our army is ten times larger than the enemy's, reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty will come at any time, and this reinforcement is Li Xian himself.
You know the 80,000-strong army led by Li Xian, right? In that battle eight years ago, this guy caused me to lose 300,000 troops in Tibet. If this killer comes, how can I fight with the few troops in my hand?
Can we survive? At that time, our army will no longer besiege the Tang Barbarians, but our army will be attacked from both sides by the Tang Barbarians, and by then it will be difficult even to save our lives, let alone destroy this Tang Barbarian army."
When Mai Gongda heard this, he immediately showed an expression of admiration and said flatteringly: "The general is really far-sighted and resourceful. He has thought of such profound things. I am really impressed by him!"
Boluzanren glanced at Mai Gongda proudly and said calmly: "There are a lot of things that you need to learn here, boy, if fighting was so easy, wouldn't everyone be a god of war? If that were the case, what would happen?
How to highlight the status of my second brother?"
Although he looked very proud on the surface, Bo Lunzanren felt very ashamed in his heart, because he had also raised the same question at the beginning, and his remarks were copied from his second brother Gal Qinling.
After that, Bo Lunzanren ordered the army to launch wave after wave of strong attacks on the Tang Dynasty army. Although the Tang army had a defensive advantage and had a neat formation, it still suffered serious damage. It cost nearly two men on the first day.
The cost of thousands of deaths!
None of these nearly 2,000 people were seriously injured, and none of them were killed for violating military discipline. They were all killed in battle, and they all died in a spectacular way. Even when they were about to die, they all took at least one enemy soldier on their back.
Therefore, correspondingly, this day also brought 3,000 casualties to Tibet.
Although he was surprised by the superior combat effectiveness of the Tang army, Bolunzan still did not stop attacking the Tang army. He divided the army into three parts, one part with about 15,000 people, and attacked in turns, even at night. He continued to harass
, this made the Tang army soldiers unable to rest and even eat. However, even so, the Tang army did not give in at all. They did not eat or sleep. They just fought hard with the Tubo soldiers without sleep.
People are timid, and no one surrenders.
"This, this, I really didn't expect that there would be such tenacious and unyielding soldiers in the Tang Man army. With seven or eight times the number of soldiers, our army paid nearly 7,000 casualties and caused nearly half of its losses.
They still haven’t been made to surrender, so for what purpose are these people so stubborn and desperate?”
Bo Lunzan's eyes were full of deep admiration, but also full of strong helplessness.
It had been a day and a night, and everyone in Tubo felt exhausted and their morale began to decline, because during this day and night, they only gained thousands of casualties, and other than that, they did not get any benefits. Although the number was still high,
They have an absolute advantage, but for the soldiers participating in the battle, the number of people does not make any difference to them, because no matter how many people there are, they cannot avoid their casualties. Although they look at those Tang Army soldiers crumbling, a gust of wind can blow them down.
However, once they came in front of them, they immediately turned into savage and crazy tigers and wolves, and surrounded them with a desperate attack.
"General, what should we do? Do we want to continue the attack?" Mai Gongda saw that the number of soldiers under his command had dropped sharply by 3,000. If he returned, he was afraid that the strength of the tribe would be greatly reduced. He couldn't help but became anxious and said loudly: "If it happens again
If we continue to fight like this, we will probably pay a price of 20,000 people, and we won't get anything useful by then. There will be no benefit at all from sacrificing more than 20,000 of our loyal and brave soldiers for the sake of these defeated soldiers. General, you have to say it in the final analysis
Is it worth it?”
After hearing what Mai Gongda said, Bo Lunzan's eyes suddenly flashed with pain. He thought silently for a moment, and then sighed softly: "What you said makes sense, but do you know? These soldiers are
If the elite power of the Tang Dynasty were allowed to survive, it would only take dozens of people to turn an army of thousands of people into an iron army. Such elite seeds must not be let go! What's more, the Tang army has already suffered almost 1,000 losses.
Half, we can wipe them all out in one day at most, but if we withdraw the siege and let them enter the city, one person can be equal to the fighting strength of ten people. As long as they persist for at most half a month, Li Xian
The army will come. Under such circumstances, how can we attack Shancheng? And Shancheng cannot be attacked. This time we conquer the Tang Dynasty, we can only stop, and it is even impossible to stop. Under the oppression of the Tang army
It’s already good to be able to surrender the policy in Dafeichuan.”
Therefore, after this, Bolunzan did not dare to neglect at all, and ordered his army to continue attacking the Tang army. As long as the Tang army did not give up resistance, they would never stop attacking.
Therefore, the next battlefield will still be a tragic lesson, even more tragic than before. Because after a long period of fighting, the fighting spirit of the Tubo soldiers has become increasingly sluggish, while the Tang army soldiers are facing death.
It seemed more tragic, but morale never declined.
In fact, under such circumstances, the best thing to do is to relax. They should really postpone the attack when the Tang army is extremely tired. This will allow the Tang army to polish off the accumulated morale during the rest, and then attack again.
It's easier.
However, the all-out attack strategy was formulated by Gal Qin Ling himself. Even though he was his younger brother, and the only younger brother of Gal Qin Ling, Bo Lunzanren did not dare to disobey his second brother's order and stop launching the attack.
In fact, if we talk about it, the prediction of the Garqin Tomb is still accurate. If they postpone the attack like this, they will definitely wait for reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty. However, the prediction of the Garqin Tomb has a lot of deviations.
Because at the very least, he did not expect that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would have such an unyielding will and determination to fight to the end. He did not know that all of this was due to Tang Xiujing and Wang Xiaojie’s devilish style that came from Li Xian.
military training methods, as well as Li Xian's oath of mastery during this expedition.
Although Li Xian's army had not yet arrived at the front line, Li Xian's oath had already grown wings and flown to all armies of the Tang Dynasty, especially Wang Xiaojie, who had been appointed as the deputy general manager of the Taohe Road March.
And in the camp of the soldiers under his command, when they listened to Wang Xiaojie's detailed introduction to the grand occasion of Li Xian's swearing-in, all the soldiers felt as if they had been beaten to death. Their fighting spirit suddenly rose to an unprecedented high, showing an unprecedented unyielding will.
"The King of Zhou has settled our family and strictly forbids the generals from taking the credit of the pretended officers. Under such circumstances, if we don't work hard, how can we be worthy of the King of Zhou's settlement expenses? How can we be worthy of our country?
I have risked my life to kill you thief, and the country will remember my merits, promote me to a noble title, and give me land. How can I let go of such an opportunity so easily? So, for the sake of the family, for the sake of my wife and daughter, for the sake of
What will happen to the future wealth and honor of the children even if they die?"
"It would be a great pleasure for a passionate man to come to this world and make a splash. Haha, if he can bring some wealth to his children and grandchildren, that would be even more desirable."
"Although history may not remember the names of our group of people, it can always remember this battle and remember that there are people like us who fought to the last breath in order to protect our country and our country. Even if we are about to die, we will hold the thieves on our backs. In this way
I caught up with such a tragic and tragic event once, and it can be regarded as one that will last forever."
"Damn it, the Tubo traitors are really cowards. So many people are scared after seeing us. Hey, after this battle, I, the Iron-Blooded Man of the Tang Dynasty, will become famous all over the world. Even if I wait for each one of them, they will die.
Glory."
Although the soldiers had different ideas, they were all fearless in their bones and fought desperately. Although they knew they would die, they persisted until the last moment. Almost no one had a complete body. Even when they were seriously injured and dying, they did not forget to give
The enemy was injured, and such tragic and tragic events are definitely rare in a thousand years.
The battle continued like this for another day and night. The soldiers of the Tang Army fought desperately without food or water for two consecutive days and two nights. They looked like they would fall at any time, but they refused to fall.
At this time, the Tang army was severely depleted. After two days and two nights of fighting, only 5,000 of the 12,000 men were left. At this time, the Tubo army still had more than 40,000 men. Although the Tubo casualties were far greater than
Tang Jun, but the absolute advantage in numbers is becoming more and more obvious.
"Now we have persisted to the last moment. The soldiers have not eaten or drank for two days and two nights, and they cannot persist any longer. If another day passes, even if they do not take action, we will all die of hunger and thirst. So, now we
We can only take the initiative to attack. Even if they are all killed, we must make the thieves pay a sufficient price!" Wang Xiaojie was covered in blood, some of which came from his own body, and some of which spattered after killing the enemy. His horizontal sword
The sword has been curled up long ago, and the shirt has been torn to pieces. Although the whole person is in a mess and extremely tired, he still has high fighting spirit, standing upright like a javelin.
But at this moment, he suddenly heard a rumble of horse hoofbeats in the distance. Wang Xiaojie was shocked when he heard the sound. He stood on a high place and took a look. He saw smoke and dust rolling up not far away, and a large face was exposed in the smoke.
Wow, although he couldn't see clearly clearly, Wang Xiaojie could recognize it at a glance. The person who came was definitely from the Tang Dynasty.
"Our reinforcements have arrived. We are saved. Send the order and prepare to attack!" Wang Xiaojie suddenly became energetic and ordered loudly. (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
