In fact, the morale of the Tibetan army is now extremely low. The reason for this is also known to Galqin Ling, but there is nothing he can do about it. Sometimes many things are like a domino effect, which will produce many chain reactions.
And sometimes the source of this reaction is actually just a small thing.
The defeat of the Tubo army this time was caused by a trivial matter, and this trivial matter is not trivial in fact. It was because of a battle between the two sides. Originally, Gal Qinling thought that his side would win this battle, even if it was an accident.
Defeat would definitely cause the five hundred soldiers of the Tang Army to basically lose their combat effectiveness. However, they did not expect that such a big change would occur. The final result turned out to be one-sided, with one side's entire army being annihilated, while the other side only lost less than 20% of their number.
, although I can see that the reason is mainly due to the equipment gap between the two sides, but I can't explain this to the soldiers at all, because the other side's equipment seems to have no difference at all.
With their victory in the battle, the Tang army immediately launched a fierce attack on Tubo. This made the Tibetan soldiers, who were suddenly depressed, unable to resist. In the end, they had no choice but to retreat. And because they were worried that the enemy troops would attack one after another, the Garqin Mausoleum could only
If you can bear the pain of closing the camp gate and blocking your own people from the camp gate, your own soldiers will naturally feel resentful.
Fortunately, Gal Qinling was not a fool. He immediately used coercion and coercion to force the soldiers outside the camp to fight to the death with the Tang army. However, he valued his own determination too much and underestimated the wisdom of the Tang army generals, because just
At this moment, the Tang army immediately launched the slogan "He who surrenders will avoid death." Faced with the threat to their lives, many Tubo soldiers surrendered to the Tang army without hesitation, regardless of the threat to their families. Under their example, more and more soldiers from Tibet surrendered to the Tang army.
The Tubo soldiers surrendered, and under such circumstances, if he really killed the family members of these surrendered soldiers, he would completely force these soldiers to oppose Tubo, which Tubo definitely did not want to see.
But now the Galqin Mausoleum is in a dilemma. In order to make the surrendering soldiers feel scrupulous, and in order to prevent Li Xian from trusting them, the Galqin Mausoleum has no choice but to announce that it will continue to protect the families of those who surrendered.
But as a result, more and more people surrendered to Tibet to save their lives. In the end, almost 90% of the more than 10,000 people surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. He could even see that even the soldiers in the camp had many
He planned to surrender to the Tang Dynasty after the camp gate was breached.
If this is the case, I am afraid that the Tibetan army is really in danger this time. Even he himself is not sure when he will be captured by the soldiers and handed over to Li Xian.
However, if you threaten to kill the family members of the surrenderers at this time, not only will you break your trust in the army, but you will also make the surrenderers abandon their last concerns and be filled with deep-seated hatred for you. This is equivalent to letting the surrender go.
The Tang army gained more than ten thousand elite soldiers out of thin air!
However, after comparison, Galqinling decided to break trust and threaten to kill the families of those who had surrendered, because in this way, although it gave the Tang Dynasty a 10,000-strong army out of thin air, it could restrain discipline and avoid more people.
He was tempted to surrender to the Tang army.
Therefore, that night, Gal Qinling suddenly ordered the army to take action, arresting all the brothers, fathers and sons of the surrendering soldiers, and then during the next day, all the relatives of these traitors were killed in front of the surrendering soldiers.
It was announced that after the army returned, all the men in the rebels' families would be killed and all the female family members would be reduced to slaves.
As soon as the news was announced, bursts of crying suddenly came from the surrender camp. The soldiers all hated Garqinling and cursed: "Garqinling, you are unfaithful in your words.
Two days ago, he said that he wanted to ensure the safety of my family and I, but today he slaughtered my brother first. The words are still in my ears, and I shamelessly regretted it. You, you will not die well!"
But I heard Gar Qinling sneer in response, and then said: "Since you are willing to be traitors, you should have the consciousness of traitors. We in Tubo do not support idlers, let alone support our families for the enemy. You and your relatives and family members are not the same."
Death is all caused by you, what does it have to do with me?"
The surrendering officers became even more angry after hearing this, and with Li Xian fanning the flames, all the Tibetan officers and soldiers who had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty hated the Garqin Mausoleum and actively requested to attack the Tibetan camp.
After being frightened by the Garqin Mausoleum, most of the thoughts of surrender in the Tubo camp were indeed extinguished. However, due to the treacherous behavior of the Garqin Mausoleum, the soldiers were chilled, which resulted in the Tubo soldiers losing the slightest fighting spirit and morale.
Already hit rock bottom.
However, the Garqin Mausoleum is the Garqin Mausoleum after all. He used strict military laws to drive the soldiers to defend desperately. If there was a slight neglect, they would be dealt with according to the military laws. The lighter ones would be served with military sticks, and the more serious ones would be beheaded directly. Therefore, Tubo
A strange phenomenon occurred in the camp. Although the morale of the army was extremely low, it still blocked the Tang army's attack.
Even though the Tang army's morale was high, their sentiments were high, and their fighting spirit was high, they still could not break through the Tibetan camp.
Regarding this point, even Li Xian, who has always been resourceful and resourceful, could not help but be helpless. After all, Gar Qinling was the first famous general in Tubo. Many famous generals in the Tang Dynasty in history had a history of defeat at his hands. If Li Xian had not occupied
Even if he takes the lead, victory may not be that easy. Now that the opponent is not looking for merit, but only for perseverance without fault, Li Xian really has no choice.
"If it were some unknown person, I could definitely use the old trick of digging tunnels and setting fire to attack the enemy camp to win, but this Garqin Mausoleum will definitely prevent this. No matter how hard I dig tunnels,
It is powerful, and I am determined not to be able to hide it from this person, so this strategy is completely useless against Garqin Ling."
Li Xian had no choice but to honestly adopt traditional methods to confront Tubo. Fortunately, he had other plans. Neither Wang Xiaojie nor Wang Fangyi were simple figures. As long as their opponent was not Gar Qinling
, No matter who he encounters, there is no possibility of defeat. Therefore, Li Xian believes that as long as he can hold back the main force of Tubo, especially the Gar Qinling, as long as these two groups of strange soldiers complete their mission, they will finally lose hope.
Naturally, Garqinling will be forced to retreat.
Although Li Xian also knew that this was the only time he could severely damage the Tubo army and possibly capture the Gar Qinling alive, this battle could only be like this. If he wanted to achieve greater results, it would probably be useless.
It's possible. This is really because Gal Qinling is so capable. He can always think of the best way to deal with difficult situations. Therefore, even if he is unwilling to give in, he really has no choice. (To be completed.)
