Take the mall to Datang

"Husband, what are you talking about? Why do people scare me away as soon as I go to Tubo? Am I that good?" Du Qianyu asked suspiciously.

"Haha, of course it's amazing. As long as you help cook some dark dishes, I'm afraid Songtsan Gampo will belch on the spot." Yuan Shan said heartily.

"Just kidding, the front is full of gunfire and smoke is everywhere. If you go like this and wait until you get to the top of the city, I'm afraid your husband won't recognize you. Since you have completed the task of escorting, you should follow me back to the camp and wait for news." Yuan Shan said.

"Husband, can't you let me go and have a look?" Du Qianyu, who was full of heroism, suddenly acted like a baby, which really surprised Yuanshan, who didn't know how to deal with it, and was very uncomfortable.

"It's dangerous ahead. I won't allow anything to happen to my woman. Let's stay here, okay?" Yuan Shan said comfortingly.

"No, sir, let's take a look." At this time, Du Qianyu was a little self-willed, and she could see that if she didn't agree to her, she would remember it for the rest of her life. Women hold grudges very much, and if they really don't agree, they will definitely not of.

Yuan Shan thought for a moment, but he was actually delaying time. Under Du Qianyu's repeated urging, he agreed.

"Okay, but you must stay by my side, and you must not interfere with the soldiers fighting." Yuan Shan said.

"Okay, let's eavesdrop on you." Du Qianyu said.

After a while, Yuan Shan and Du Qianyu appeared on the top of the city wall, but at a distance.

"It's right here, and there are no bows and arrows flying around the city, so it's easy to be accidentally injured." Yuan Shan said.

Du Qianyu didn't care, and said casually, "Husband, why are you so timid? It wasn't like that when I saw the princess and I were attacked."

Yuan Shan sneered in his heart: "Didn't you just come here at that time? Besides, there were not many enemies at that time, and there was a good chance of winning a battle, but the situation is different now when they have 10,000+ troops."

"Life has been so good in the past few years. Gaining weight has nothing to do with courage." Yuan Shan emphasized.

"Oh, why does it feel like the general should have lost weight?" Du Qianyu said casually.

Yuan Shan was a little embarrassed, but he was thick-skinned.

"General, why are you back? Now is the most critical time of the battle. Is there anything to worry about?" Li Jing came over and asked.

In fact, Li Jing was afraid that Yuan Shan would command blindly at this time. Although he admitted that Yuan Shan had some knowledge in the art of war, after all, this was a battlefield where anything could happen, so he didn't dare to be careless.

"Oh, General Li may have misunderstood. I came here to be responsible for delivering the newly arrived supplies." Yuan Shan explained.

Li Jing felt relieved after hearing this.

Yuchi Jingde was resting at the side. He was resting. The artillerymen of the Beiya Forbidden Army were under the command of Wei Dayou. The continuous shelling made the people of the Beiya Forbidden Army tense up. They never stopped. They were very worried about the gunnery. The heat, the artillery is a little too much for a battle of this intensity.

Xue Rengui brought some archers to "black guns" on the tower. It was very exhausting to set up arrows. Fortunately, they all used pulley bows, which were accurate enough and had enough range. It was quite interesting for them to select some generals as targets. effectiveness.

Yuan Shanxin said: "This kid is pretty smart."

Dalbato is like an ant on a hot pot now, I can't bear it anymore, watching his soldiers and horses being killed by the Tang people, the siege is a complete failure, he said in front of Songtsan Gampo that [-]% It is almost impossible to grasp it now.

Songtsan Gampo looked at the situation ahead, and roughly calculated that at least 3 horses were lost, but the warriors led by Dalbato were very brave, but no doubt they had not captured the top of the city yet.

"Is it really not possible? Tubo's soldiers and horses can't beat Datang?" Songtsan Gampo was silent, thinking about these things in his heart.

"Let Dalbato retreat." Songtsan Gampo said.

Songtsan Gampo was a little discouraged. The 20 soldiers and horses did not get any benefits here.

Dalbato was very unwilling to accept the order to withdraw his troops, and looked at Hezhou City for a long time and didn't want to leave.

"We have won, we have won." The soldiers of Hezhou City cheered.

Li Jing suddenly said: "No, the Tubo people want to run away."

"General Hou, it's up to your cavalry to support them." Li Jing said.

Hou Junji said from the side: "I have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time."

As soon as the Tubo people retreated, the gates of Hezhou City were opened wide, and all [-] cavalry were dispatched, as fast as a gust of wind and like a rabbit. They rested for a long time, and finally they were able to play their role.

Hou Junji personally led the team, and in the event of an emergency, he could choose random boards and chase them all the way. As soon as Hou Junji's cavalry left, the artillery battalion of the Beiya Forbidden Army followed with "guys".

Chapter 823 Li Shimin Has a Headache

The artillery battalion led by Yuchi Baolin was a long-range unit, and they could display their strength as long as they waited for Hou Junji's cavalry to entangle the enemy.

"Send the signal!" Hou Junji said to his opponent.

The smoke started, the Tubo people who had just retreated felt the danger, but before they could react, all the grenades buried by Yuchi Baolin were touched, and the continuous loud noise made the whole Tubo people look ashamed.

Songtsen Gampo was almost affected. At this moment, the Tang cavalry hidden on both sides began to attack. What awaited the Tibetans were bows, arrows and grenades.

The sudden sneak attack made people hard to guard against. The Tubo retreat road was rough, and the Tubo soldiers and horses were temporarily restrained. After a few breaths, the sound of the artillery appeared again, and then the Tubo team blossomed.

Songtsan Gampo became anxious and immediately ordered a counterattack. General Dalbato came over in a panic and said, "My lord, the main force of the Tang people has been dispatched. There are at least 10 people."

The news came back from the Turkic cavalry spies.

"Retreat quickly and minimize casualties." Songtsen Gampo said unwillingly.

Dalbato said: "Yes."

The Tibetans are all fast cavalry, and the loss of some troops after being ambushed does not affect too much.

After twenty miles out of Hezhou, Hou Junji's cavalry did not pursue fiercely, but waited for an opportunity in the rear, and all the soldiers of the Beiya Imperial Army retreated.

In the city of Hezhou, the soldiers were cleaning up, and some common people came out to help. Hezhou soldiers and horses were victorious. Li Jing began to write the memorial and send it back to Chang'an in [-] li. To Li Shimin's hands.

The Beiya Forbidden Army brought by Yuchi Baolin was Yuan Shan's soldiers and horses, and they returned to Lanzhou without taking a break.

"General Li, congratulations on your new victory." Yuan Shan said while observing Li Jing's expression, but he couldn't see a trace of happiness on the other side.

Yuan Shan knew that Li Jing's military exploits were a bit of an overachiever, seeing Li Jing's embarrassment, he thought for a while and said, "General Li, I don't know if you are interested in doing something with my nephew after returning to Chang'an."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Li Jing asked.

"How about opening a Datang Academy of Military Law to train military officers? Now that His Majesty supports civil and military examinations, it can just make up for the lack of senior commanders, and it won't waste General Li's ability." Yuan Shan said.

"College? I haven't thought about it." Li Jing said.

"Haha, General Li is not old, and he is dedicated to fighting for the comfort of the Tang Dynasty. The so-called teaching a man to fish is not as good as teaching a man to fish. Doesn't General Li want to let the inheritance continue? If he hides his ability and uses it, it will be disadvantageous to himself and to the country. Unfavorable, please think about it." Yuan Shan said.

Li Jing was deep in thought, he just didn't want to be too famous, but Li Shimin was very concerned, if he made some moves, neither Li Shimin nor Li Jing would be able to sleep.

Yuan Shan bid farewell to Li Jing, Hou Junji returned to Taozhou, and it was as if nothing had happened.

The king of Tubo retreated from Tuyuhun, and the overall situation in the west was settled.

Chang'an Palace, Li Shimin received the battle report, and the Tubo people said that they lost 6 people in this battle. They withdrew from Tuyuhun and returned to Tubo City.

And there is news that Songtsen Gampo has sent Lu Dongzan to the Tang Dynasty to discuss the marriage of the Tubo princess.
