Songzhou City is the southwest gateway of the Tang Dynasty, and the terrain is actually extremely advantageous. The west gate of the city is a natural pass, and the east and north sides face the territory of the Tang Dynasty, so of course there is nothing to worry about. If the Tibetans want to invade Songzhou, they must fight a tough battle. The Tubo soldiers who usually practice horseback riding and archery, is there any use for siege warfare? The harder you hit, the more you die. Therefore, unless forced to, Tubo would never choose to attack the city. There are only a few people in their country, and 200,000 people are already more than one-fifth of the population, so they can't afford to lose. Tubo can't fight, but can Tang Jun fight? Marching thousands of miles in a few days, running to the battlefield without even slowing down to fight? That's not called fighting, that's called courting death!
After the rapid march, at least half a month of cultivation can barely recover to full combat effectiveness. Even Zhang Jiuhe, a civil servant, knows it. He doesn't believe that Su Li doesn't understand this truth. So, why did Yinli say that he went to war? Su Li didn't intend to explain. There are some things that just need to be known by the comrades in the army. Could it be that every time he encounters a person who doubts himself, he will appear in front of him once? Su Li's goal is not just to understand. Since ancient times, nomads robbing the Central Plains has almost become an unspoken rule of convention. The Central Dynasty, which was born in the monster house in East Asia and located in the land of Zhu Xia, has always been very strong. But the surrounding nomads, to be honest, their combat effectiveness is not low. It's just that they were overwhelmed by the powerful central dynasty. Compared with nomadic civilization, farming civilization is definitely at the crushing level in terms of the speed of social wealth creation and accumulation. When the power of the central dynasty was weak, the surrounding nomadic peoples were ready to move, looking for the right opportunity to come up and take a bite. If the strength of the central dynasty is strong, those nomads will actually not be peaceful, but will make some small moves from time to time to suck some blood. This kind of thing has been happening in the land of Zhuxia since ancient times. But Su Li thinks, where is the reason why you can't rob others only when 637 others rob you? When he comes out this time, he wants to exchange offense and defense, and grab those nomads! The first target, of course, is Tubo, who has been dancing jubilantly recently. Su Li has already drawn up the route.
First go to Tubo, then condescendingly, all the way to the north, then turn to the east, and liquidate the aliens along the way. That's why he mobilized the youth of Songzhou City. Because, he wants to bring all the strong labor without altitude sickness as much as possible. The purpose is very simple, is to sweep the battlefield. Fifty thousand soldiers and horses may seem like a lot, but in fact, even if all of them are used to clean up the battlefield and take over the territory, it is not enough. And Su Li's treatment for those young and middle-aged laborers is very generous. After the army has cleaned up, all the trophies found by the young and strong laborers belong to the individual. Including captives and slaves! Anyone who lives in the frontier can understand. In the Western Regions, slaves are the most valuable hard currency, and gold, silver and jewelry are not as easy to use. But these things, Su Li's army can't take them away. This condition is enough to make every ordinary person who goes out with the army rich overnight! At this time, Su Dingfang suddenly hurried in from the door. "Master, there seems to be a change in the Tubo army!" Su Li was stunned for a moment, then put on his helmet, and quickly headed towards the top of the city wall with Su Dingfang. half an hour ago. In the Tubo military camp, Lu Dongzan immediately took over Songzhou after learning that the Tang army had entered the city, and declared that he had entered a state of combat readiness to mobilize manpower from all parties. This move made Lu Dongzan extremely cautious. He felt that the coach opposite him must be the season. This discovery naturally made Lu Dongzan somewhat regretful. Lu Dongzan has his own pride (aeea). From his heart, of course he wants to play against the famous generals of Datang. However, this battle is related to the national destiny of Tubo, so Lu Dongzan will naturally feel that the better the opponent, the better. If the opponent is really the son-in-law who led the army for the first time, returning to Dongzan might wake him up from a dream. DJ... After calming down a little, Lu Dongzan had a plan in mind. No matter what the reason is, the Tang army did rush to Songzhou in a hurry. The expedition is so urgent, the state of the Tang army at this time must be exhausted. In other words, at this time the opponent is at its weakest.
As long as you find a way to force it out of the city to fight, you will be able to win the battle! Lu Dongzan's idea is very solid. Songzhou City is not easy to attack by force, he already knew this. Even if the siege is launched at this time, no matter how tired the 50,000 Tang troops are, they can still defend the city. Moreover, Songzhou City is not an isolated city. If the siege policy is used on it, it is estimated that the Tubo people themselves will starve to death, while the people of Songzhou are still alive and well. Therefore, the only way is to force Tang Jun out of the city. For this kind of thing, Lu Dongzan almost didn't have to think about it, and he directly thought of a way. These days, the Tubo scouts have caught many scouts sent by the Tang army, or ordinary people. Lu Dongzan decided to use these people to test the opponent. If the opposing commander is enraged and decides to fight with a tired army, that would be great. Of course, Lu Dongzan did not have any hope for this. After all, Li Daozong is not an unknown person. As a famous general, he certainly understands the truth that a general should not be benevolent to a woman. But fighting is like playing chess, you always have to find the opponent's weaknesses through continuous testing. Afterwards, Lu Dongzan recruited his messengers and gave them some orders. Soon, the Tubo army lined up and came to the city of Songzhou. They came to a stone's throw away and stopped. Then, a group of Tang army scouts were pushed out first. At this time, Su Li had brought a group of generals to the top of the city wall. "Your Majesty is right, barbarians can only be regarded as beasts!" Seeing this scene, Li Daozong snorted coldly and cursed in a low voice. Su Dingfang, on the other hand, turned his head to look at Su Li, with a hint of worry on his face. Both of them were battle-hardened, and the cruelty of the war had already left an imprint on their minds. To put it cold-bloodedly, the scene in front of them could hardly arouse any emotional fluctuations between the two of them. Su Li stared at the bottom of the city wall with cold eyes. "Commander Tang Jun, listen up. My Prime Minister heard that you have just arrived, so I came here to say hello to you. These are the greetings from my Prime Minister!" Immediately afterwards, the dozen or so Tang army scouts were pushed to the ground by Tubo soldiers. Even at this moment, no one begged for mercy. On the contrary, they all glared at the Tibetans and kept swearing. Some people struggled to rush towards the Tubo soldiers, but because their hands were tied behind their backs, they couldn't exert any strength at all. Instead, they were kicked down by the enemy, causing a burst of laughter.
With an order, the knife shines brightly. More than a dozen human heads soared into the sky. Su Li's eyesight is amazing, even from such a distance, he can see clearly. Until they died, the dozen or so scouts of the Tang army were all staring with anger. After killing more than a dozen people, the Tibetans did not stop. Dozens more were pushed out. Seeing the clothes of these people clearly, even Li Daozong and the others changed their expressions slightly. These dozens of people are actually ordinary people. There are old people in their fifties and sixties, and children in their seventies and eight years old. Everyone was terrified, and they were driven to the front by the Tubo people wielding their sharp knives like cattle. Su Li opened his mouth slightly, watching the scene in front of him. At this moment, his mind went blank. Originally, in his plan, on the battlefield, he would drive Wushuang to mow the grass and kill people, without any difficulty at all. He never considered anything other than war. Su Li originally thought that the current self could be calm in the face of everything. But looking at what happened in front of him at this time, he realized that he was wrong. War has never been a game, but a cruel struggle between life and death. In this era, there is no so-called war treaty to protect the basic rights of ordinary people. The only thing that can protect the Tang people is the army of the Tang people! This is why, in the ancient society of the land of Zhu Xia, the concept of nationality is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At this moment, Su Li really felt this. The knife light flashed again. The dozens of wailing and weeping figures all fell to the ground. A pair of silver-haired old couples died together with their hands clasped together. A young man, holding his hands in front of his wife and seven or eight-year-old children, knelt on the ground, and at the moment of his death, he was still begging for mercy from the Tibetans. Dozens of heads rolled randomly to the ground. From those faces, Su Li saw unspeakable fear and helplessness. However, he can't do anything.
This feeling made Su Li extremely aggrieved. And at this moment, his heart was filled with monstrous anger! "Assembly, go to battle!" Su Li let out a low growl, turned around and left. "Marshal, the Tubo people planned to provoke our army to leave the city. If we send troops at this time, wouldn't we be falling into the trap of the other party?" the guard of Songzhou City said loudly. As a guard, this person's military quality is definitely not low. At this moment, he was extremely puzzled. Could it be that Su Li couldn't see things that he could see? Or, really, as the legend says, Su Li is just an embroidered pillow with no commanding talent at all? Thinking of this, he quickly turned his head to look at Li Daozong. "My lord, our soldiers are exhausted, so we have to rush out of the city at this time..." However, Li Daozong waved his hand and said: "Master is going to fight, you don't want to be idle, get ready!" The guard was stunned for a moment, feeling even more puzzled. What do we need to prepare? Looking at the bewildered guard, Li Daozong didn't explain much. What to do to prepare? Of course, revenge with Su Li, and clean up the battlefield! Since Su Li appeared before him, Li Daozong quickly adjusted his mentality and unconditionally supported any decision Su Li made. This kind of peerless fierce general who casually pulls nine bulls upside down and splits mountains with one halberd, any so-called rules actually don't have much restriction on him. Can the commander have the kindness of a woman? Ordinary commanders, of course, must be ruthless, after all, a little intolerance can lead to chaos and big plans. But Su Li doesn't. No matter big or small, as long as he is willing, he can push all the way! In the face of absolute strength, your strategy has a fart. Thinking of what was about to happen, even Li Daozong became faintly excited. He knew that he would witness the birth of a myth!.
