Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2434 Welcome to the City
The spring breeze is not over.

The weather outside Songzhou City is still very cold.

And at this time, Zhang Erhei came to the boundary of Songzhou City with his troops.

However, when they came to the boundary of Songzhou City and had not had time to return to the city, Songtsan Gampo personally led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and left Songzhou City in a mighty way, stopping them on the only way.

Although they won the victory, both Zhang Erhei and Xu Jian were very energetic, and there were not many spies and scouts.

Therefore, Songtsan Gampo led soldiers to intercept them, and they soon found out.

After learning the news, Zhang Erhei immediately cursed: "Tubo is really hateful, even the city won't let us go back, but they don't want to stop us, after we go, the general will definitely open the city gate and take us away." To be welcomed in."

For Zhang Shouming, Zhang Erhei trusts them very much. He believes that Zhang Shouming will not ignore them. As long as they go, Zhang Shouming will definitely open the city gate and rely on the soldiers and horses in the city to welcome them Go in, there should be no problem, right?
Therefore, Zhang Erhei's meaning is very simple, just kill Songzhou City directly.

However, Xu Jian shook his head after thinking about it, and said: "No, if we go and General Zhang opens the city gate to welcome us into the city, then this situation is probably what Songtsan Gampo wants. When we leave the city, we must fight with Songtsan Gampo's soldiers and horses. Our numbers are small and we don't have an advantage. Even if we can enter the city, we must suffer heavy losses. For us, the gain outweighs the loss .”

This, Zhang Erhei is not unexpected.

"Then what do you say?"

Xu Jiandao: "Songtsan Gambo has a lot of soldiers and horses, so let's go around in circles with them. We will wander around the border town to see if they run fast or we run fast. We don’t need much food, but they have a lot, chasing us, can they afford it?”

This is similar to their method of returning to Gancheng, but it was used a little more.

After Xu Jian said this, Zhang Erhei immediately nodded excitedly, and said, "Yes, yes, this is a good way. We will fight with the Tubo soldiers to see when they can catch up with us."

After they agreed in this way, they did not continue to advance, but stationed down. However, after Songtsan Gambo and his soldiers got closer and closer to them, they suddenly set off again and left in the opposite direction.

Songtsan Gampo approached Zhang Erhei and the others with soldiers and horses, wanting to destroy them, and let out a bad breath.

They can't attack the city tower or something, but if they surround the more than 2 Tang troops, can't they still be destroyed?

This time, he had to get angry.

However, while they were rushing like this, their spies sent him some news that surprised him.

"Zanpu, the more than 2 Tang soldiers have fled, and they have no intention of going to Songzhou City."

"Escape?"

This made Songtsan Gampo very strange. Shouldn't they have gone to Songzhou City to join Zhang Shouming? Why did they escape?

"Yes, escaped."

The spy repeated it again. At this time, a Tubo general said: "Zanpu, these Tang people are not stupid. They know that we have so many soldiers and horses to kill them. If they dare to go to Songzhou City, they must avoid it." Sharp, escaped."

"Yes, but even if they escape, we can't spare them. We should hunt them down and kill them."

"That's right, kill them and get revenge."

"........."

These people have suffered a lot in Songzhou City, and they resent Datang in their hearts, but now, they put all this resentment on the [-] Tang troops, and they want to destroy the [-] Tang troops. Tang Jun, kill them all, so that they can vent their anger.

A group of people shouted, but Songtsan Gambo hesitated for a moment. If the [-] Tang troops wanted to escape, they might not be able to catch up. After all, they have a lot of troops?
And once they spend too long with these soldiers and horses, they will definitely not be able to attack Songzhou City. After all, their food and grass can't last for so long, and what's more, the reinforcements from Datang will probably catch up slowly. bring it on?
The longer it takes, the worse it is for them.

But those [-] Tang troops killed too many Tubo soldiers. If they don’t avenge their revenge, they won’t even be able to return home. It would be a shame for them to go back, especially shame.

After thinking about it, Songtsan Gambo ordered: "Separate out 2 cavalry, and give me a fast horse to stop the more than [-] Tang troops, and then spend with them, as long as you can slow down their speed, and then wait for us The reinforcements surrounded them and wiped out that Tang army."

Now that he has seen through Tang Jun's purpose and means, he naturally has to make some arrangements based on this. If they chase after 2 soldiers and horses like this, the speed is too slow, so they can only send a [-]-man army The team, quickly catch up, as long as they catch up with them, they can slow down the speed of that Tang army. As long as they wait until these soldiers and horses catch up and kill the [-] soldiers and horses, there should be no problem.

After Songtsan Gampo gave this order, someone immediately assembled [-] cavalry and chased after him first.

And while they were chasing like this, Songzhou City already knew the situation.

"General Zhang, Songtsan Gampo left Songzhou City with a hundred thousand soldiers and horses."

"Are they going to go back?" Songzhou City could not be attacked for a long time, and it would not be of any benefit to Tubo if it wasted for a long time. In his opinion, it was normal for Tubo to want to retreat.

"Probably not, they still left some soldiers and horses here, and the more than 2 soldiers and horses led by General Erhei should be coming to us soon, could it be that they want to eat our [-] soldiers?" Soldiers and horses?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shouming's eyes froze slightly. If Tubo's purpose was this, then their [-] soldiers and horses would be very dangerous. The horse is afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.

Those were all elites of the Tang Dynasty, how could they be besieged like this?

Zhang Shouming suddenly became worried. He even wanted to send troops to rescue the [-] Tang troops immediately, but there were not many troops available in the city. I can't keep it anymore.

In comparison, Songzhou City is the most important, and there is absolutely no room for loss.

Zhang Shouming walked back and forth, feeling a little embarrassed about the next choice.

"General, there is news from the capital."
