"General, it's them!"
"Hurry up and rush in, rush to the marshal's mansion and save my big brother!”
"Tubo people, Wei Shuyu, you actually led the Tubo soldiers in!”
"Traitors, die!"
……
It was chaos outside the marshal's manor.
Under the strong attack of the Tibetan soldiers, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu led their troops to retreat in the direction of Xue Rengui.
The Tubo soldiers split into two, one of them chasing after Cheng Chumo and the others.
Another group charged into the marshal's residence.
In the chaos, Wei Shuyu took advantage of the time when the Tibetans could not care about him and quietly disappeared into the Tibetan camp.
"General, there's no one!"
"General, there's no one in the Marshal's Mansion!”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Just as the Tibetan soldiers were reporting the situation to their commander, the heavy sound of the door closing suddenly rang out.
"Ambush!"
"We were ambushed!"
……
"Shoot!"
On the roof of the Marshal's Mansion, Li Ke sneered as he gave the order.
Immediately, the soldiers squatting on the roof fired the ignited rockets at the marshal's residence.
About 2,000 Tibetan soldiers swarmed in.
"Despicable Tang!"
"Charge out, charge out!"
……
How could the Tibetan generals not understand that they had been fooled?
Furious and flustered, he led his soldiers to search in all directions of the marshal's residence.
And waiting at each exit were hedgehogs holding iron shields, spearmen behind them, and spears poking out from the gaps of the iron shields.
Li Ke looked at the battle situation in the marshal's residence and saw that the overall situation had been decided. He turned to look at the battle on the street.
The nearly 2,000 Tibetan soldiers on the street were also surrounded. They were squeezed in the streets and surrounded from all sides.
The situation of the Tubo soldiers was not much better than their comrades in the marshal's residence.
"Big brother." At this moment, Wei Shuyu climbed up and cupped his hands happily."Fortunately, I didn't fail you."
Li Ke smiled and patted him on the shoulder." Well done. This is another 4,000 soldiers. How many men does Songzan have now?"”
"Look, in the midst of despair, the fighting spirit of the Tibetan soldiers is actually not high. Some of them have already put down their weapons and crawled on the ground to surrender.”
Li Ke pointed at the battle in the marshal's mansion and said,""This means that the huge casualties have already dealt a heavy blow to the fighting spirit of the Tibetan soldiers.”
"Big brother, what do you think Songzan's expression will be like when he hears the news?”
"Songzan will definitely be furious, but we have to guard against his irrational attacks."”
"Pass down my order. End the battle as soon as possible."
"In addition, order Xue Rengui to transfer some of his troops to the front line. Tuyuhun has been completely crippled, and Tubo is still a centipede.”
"Yes, sir!"
In the distance.
As Songzan listened to the sounds of fighting coming from the commander-in-chief's residence in the city gradually die down, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl into a smile.
"Zanpu, the situation is set!" Lu Dongzan smiled and bowed in congratulations.
Songzan also smiled.
However, as time went by, the Tang army appeared in front of the Tang army line one after another.
Songzan's expression turned ugly.
Drive! Drive! Drive!
The sound of horses galloping could be heard. Songzan thought it was the people who had come to deliver good news. He craned his neck to look and saw Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo riding over.
Qin Huaiyu waved his hand from afar and threw something out.
After landing, he rolled a few times.
Only then did Songzan notice that it was a human head.
It was just that they were too far away, so he couldn't see her face clearly.
"Songzan, your four thousand soldiers have been wiped out. My big brother said that he thanks Zampu for his cooperation!”Cheng Chumo said loudly.
Songzan's face instantly turned pale, and his body shook violently.
Puff!
He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Songzan's face turned strangely red as he pointed in Cheng Chumo's direction and roared,"Great Minister, order the entire army to attack immediately! Immediately!"
"Zanpu…"
"Immediately!" Lu Dongzan wanted to persuade him, but he was interrupted by Songzan's angry roar.
Sob…
With the sound of the horn, the Tibetans began to attack.
The streets and alleys were in chaos.
"Eh?"
On a roof somewhere, Wei Shuyu, who was watching the battle, exclaimed softly,""What's going on? The battle has only started for less than two incense sticks worth of time, so why are the Tibetan soldiers retreating?”
"Big brother, the Tibetan soldiers have lost their courage! The attack is very weak!" At this moment, Cheng Chumo rode his horse to the house and shouted.
Li Ke smiled.
Songzan was furious.
"Kill! The Great Minister had killed all the centurions and above who had led the attack this time!”
"Send out another team! If you dare to retreat, kill!"
Songzan, who had been played by Li Ke, was now furious. He wanted to use Li Ke's blood to wash away his humiliation.
Lu Dongzan sighed. The continuous failures and casualties had already made the remaining soldiers timid and tired of fighting.
To be more precise, he was afraid of Li Ke, who was left with only a tiny piece of land in the city.
"I will personally supervise the battle!" Lu Dongzan didn't try to persuade him, but Li Ke was already furious.
If he didn't kill Li Ke, it would be difficult to eliminate the anger in Zampu's heart.
He couldn't change Songzan's order.
Li Ke and the others saw the changes in the Tibetan front line clearly from their vantage point.
When they saw rows of Tibetan troops with curved blades and bows, their expressions turned solemn.
"Big brother, the supervising team has appeared. It seems like we've driven Songzan crazy.”Qin Huaiyu smiled bitterly.
Cheng Chumo sneered,"There's no supervising team either. After withstanding their strongest attacks, the morale of the Tibetan army will completely collapse!"”
"Not bad!"
Li Ke finally spoke. He said in a deep voice,"Next is our greatest test! Let's go! We will personally lead the troops and guard tonight!”
"Protect tonight!"
"Good!"
……
The appearance of Li Ke and his brothers at the front line also injected confidence and strength into the Tang army.
The two sides clashed again.
"Shoot! All those who are afraid of battle will die!" Lu Dongzan stood beside the supervising team and gave the order with a cold expression.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
In the attacking formation, some Tibetan soldiers at the back were killed by the arrows of their comrades.
Ta, ta, ta…
The second echelon of the attack came forward.
Soon, bolts of exquisite silk cloth and baskets of copper coins strung with hemp ropes were carried up.
Song Zai walked up from behind with a gloomy expression. He pointed at the pile of things in front of him and promised loudly,"These are all yours! Killing one Tang Dynasty soldier was worth 500 copper coins, and killing five Tang Dynasty soldiers was worth a bolt of fine silk from the Central Plains!”
"Those who cower in fear of battle and do not advance will die. Those who charge forward and make contributions will be rewarded handsomely!”
Huff huff huff!
The breathing of the two thousand-man teams of Tibetan soldiers quickened as they stared at the silk cloth with red eyes.
The silk cloth of the Central Plains was something that the people of the plateau might not be able to buy even if they had money!
To be able to wear a brocade robe made of silk was a symbol of status on the plateau!
"Attack!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
……
The two Captains shouted with their faces flushed red, and then impatiently led their troops forward.
After the two 1,000-man Tibetan soldiers rushed out, they quickly entered the surrounding alleys.
Songzan raised his head and looked at the sky that was gradually turning white. He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth."Li Ke! How much longer can you resist?"
At the same time, in Dafei River.
"Your son came late to save you, so he deserves to die!”
Li Shimin sat on his warhorse, his face extremely grim as he looked at the kneeling Crown Prince, Han King Li Yuanchang, and Hou Junji.
His hand slowly gripped the hilt of Dragon Spring's sword.
"Why didn't you go to save Jishi Mountain?”Li Shi Min said coldly.
"Your son doesn't know the situation of Jishi Mountain. After borrowing the troops of Gaochang to enter Tuyuhun, I heard that Imperial Father's troops were blocked by Dafei River, so I rushed over from thousands of miles away. Imperial Father, what's the situation of Jishi Mountain?”
Li Chengqian prostrated himself on the ground with his head.
For a long time, Li Shi Min didn't say anything. He felt pressured.
Li Shi Min's face was filled with uncertainty. He knew very well that not knowing about the situation in Jishi Mountain was just an excuse!
"Your Majesty, after all, the Crown Prince helped us to attack Murong Xiaojun from behind. Otherwise, we might not have been able to break through Dafei Chuan so quickly.”Zhangsun Wuji noticed that Li Shiming was getting angrier and he quickly spoke.
"Your Majesty, rescuing Dafei Chuan is the most important thing right now!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
……
The other officials all spoke, but most of them were civil officials. Almost none of the generals spoke, watching coldly from the side.
Idiot!
Li Shi Min looked at Li Chengqian who was kneeling on the ground and cursed in his heart.
Li Chengqian thought that he had done a good job and cheated two competitors for the throne in one fell swoop.
However, this method had completely lost the hearts of the military officers!
A person who was willing to betray his brothers in a country war for his own benefit.
Wouldn't it be even less of a burden to betray them in the future?
Who would dare to pledge loyalty to such a crown prince?
"Qin Qiong!"
"Cheng Yaojin!"
"Niu Jinda!"
"Duan Xuanzhi!"
……
"You all follow me, lead the five thousand Ox Guard cavalry first, the Great General will lead the army behind.”
"Yes, sir!"
"Giddyup!"
The rumbling of horse hooves brushed past him. Li Chengqian crawled on the ground with a gloomy expression. His father actually did not give him any instructions.
He didn't even curse in anger!
Li Chengqian felt terrified and helpless.
Zhangsun Wuji glanced at Li Chengqian and could not help but sigh. This nephew of his had made many wrong choices this time.
Because the Emperor wanted to test him, he was closely watched and could not send a message to remind him.
'I hope Li Ke dies at Tumen Pass. As long as Li Ke and Li Li die, His Majesty will have no other better choice.'
Zhangsun Wuji looked in the direction of Jishi Mountain with a complicated expression.
His two sons were also there.
And his nephew!
If it was Li Ke, they would probably also…
For the sake of the big picture, he hoped that Li Ke would die!
