Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 341 Battle Ten

Facing the desperate attack of [-] cavalry, the Datang army was also struggling to support it. After all, there were still soldiers who did not join in the follow-up. Fortunately, the crossbowmen kept shooting, so that the follow-up cavalry did not continue to attack the army.

Gar Dongzan knew that it was impossible to attack Songzhou now, so he quickly ordered to blow the trumpet, summon the other three sides to come to support, and also let the siege troops retreat to rescue.

While Gar Dongzan was busy commanding, something happened that made his heart sink. Thousands of cavalry rushed out from the side of the hillside, and rushed towards the retreating Tubo warriors. There are a little more siege infantry, and there is no formation at all.

If the appearance of the cavalry made Gar Dongzan uncomfortable, then he slowly formed a formation, and a garden formation on the side of the battlefield made him desperate. Can join the battlefield to make the final blow.

Gar Dongzan's face was livid, his thoughts turned, and he was thinking hard about how to bring back as many fighters as possible. He couldn't figure out why there were so many fighters in Songzhou, and why they were so well prepared. Can't figure out why the support came so quickly.

As a qualified commander, of course he can see that Datang's reinforcements are at least 8 or [-] people. With so many troops assembled, and they have to rush to Songzhou, how can they arrive in ten and a half months? It was well prepared and well prepared.

Although Gar Dongzan now suspects that he has been fooled by Yuan Gai Suwen, he can't think about it too much, so he can only talk about it in the future. The most urgent task is how to retain more troops.

Just when Gar Dongzan was thinking hard, the gate of Songzhou city opened wide, and Niu Jinda led three thousand cavalry to kill the retreating siege soldiers.

"No!" Gar Dongzan's eyes were full of despair, and he wailed in pain.

"General Tang on the opposite side! I am Tubo Gar Dongzan, please hold your hand high, as long as you are willing to let me go, we are willing to compensate Datang, and we will never rescue the people in the other gates." Gar Dongzan With a thousand personal guards, Zan quickly approached Niu Jinda's troops and shouted loudly. He was afraid that Niu Jinda would not hear him, so he shouted three times in a row and asked the guards to lower their weapons.

Niu Jinda saw cavalry coming and was about to attack, when he heard Gar Dongzan's call, and it didn't look like he was going to attack, so he put the cavalry on guard and sent someone to find Li Xiaogong.

"Let the retreating soldiers stand where they are!" Niu Jinda shouted.

Gar Dongzan smiled bitterly, and had no choice but to obey. In addition, he issued an order to recall the attacking cavalry. In a short period of time, seven or eight thousand people were killed or injured.

Gar Dongzan asked 3 people to retreat to the center of the battlefield, and asked them to bandage the wounded soldiers, while the others stayed where they were.

The cavalry led by Xue Wanche saw that things had changed, and called them back, but they did not dismount, rearranged their formation, surrounded the Tubo army, and Yu Chigong led all the opposing soldiers to surround them, but did not attack.

…………

As soon as Li Xiaogong said he went out of the city to intercept the Tubo people, he heard that Niu Jinda's personal guards came to spread the word that the Tubo coach wanted to see him.

Li Xiaogong suppressed his doubts, and galloped to the front of the formation.

"My king, Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County, is here! What does the enemy general have to say!" Li Xiaogong refused to be escorted by his personal guards, and asked alone.

"Gar Dongzan, the Prime Minister of Tubo, has seen the prince. Tubo was provoked by others, and he asked the prince to forgive him for offending the Tang Dynasty. Tubo is willing to pay tribute." Gar Dongzan also rode forward a few steps, touching his chest with one hand Shi Li said.

"Haha! To be a minister and pay tribute, does the prime minister still have a choice now? It's just empty talk, but there is no sincerity." Li Xiaogong laughed and shouted.

Gar Dongzan's originally bitter face couldn't help but become even more bitter. Of course, he also knew that it was impossible to let Datang let him go with a few words.

"As long as the prince lets us go, and we are willing to put down our weapons and leave, the prince will clean up the people on the other three sides. You also understand, the prince. Although there are more people there, they are not as elite as here. The prince will decide what to choose." ” Gar Dongzan persuaded loudly!

After many days of fighting, Li Xiaogong naturally understood that the other side was more elite, and after a second thought, he made a decision.

"Give up the horse and let you leave. As for the camp, I will let you take it away. I hope that the prime minister will leave the Tang Dynasty before I wipe out the remnants of the enemy." Li Xiaogong made a condition.

"My lord..."

"No need to say more! If you disagree, everyone will see Zhenzhang." Seeing that Gar Dongzan was still talking, Li Xiaogong immediately interrupted him.

"It's a deal!" Gar Dongzan nodded helplessly in agreement, he also saw that Li Xiaogong was impatient, and thought he was delaying time.

Gar Dongzan thought about it again, although it was a pity that so many young and strong Tubo fighters were lost, but fortunately the direct troops were retained, and they will develop slowly in the future.

"People of the Tang Dynasty keep their word, and this king keeps his word!" Li Xiaogong said loudly.

After the two sides negotiated, the Tubo army began to dismount and line up to leave under the supervision of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and put down their weapons after leaving a certain distance.

Gar Dongzan could also understand Li Xiaogong's decision. Without horses and weapons, he didn't have to be afraid even if he could kill the carbine Tang. After all, there were enough horses and food in the camp to leave, but there were not many weapons.

Although he failed this time, Gar Dongzan was gratified that the direct troops were retained, and all the logistics were returned to Songtsen Gampo, and there were no tribes in the country that could compete with them, which was considered a good thing.

"Get on the horse!" The Tubo people left more than 1 war horses, which made Yu Chigong and others very happy. They quickly commanded the soldiers who knew how to ride horses to get on the horses, and sorted out the formation a little, totaling more than 2 cavalry.

After tidying up, Yu Chigong took Niu Jinda, Xue Wanche, Cheng Mingzhen, and Xue Wanshu to attack the remaining Tibetans.

As for the other infantry, Gao Zengsheng, Jiuqi Luosheng, Zheng Yuan Wangshou, and Zuo Xiaojie surrounded the Tubo people. The most elite ones have already been let go. Pass.

Li Xiaogong took Feng Daijin, Liu Renshi and Cheng Wuting back to the city, and surrounded them with people from the city.

The Hoshi and other tribes originally planned to go to the rescue when they heard Gar Dongzan's call for help. After they withdrew the siege troops and were constantly harassed by the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they naturally would not blindly go to reinforce them. The troops organized their formation, otherwise the mess would not be reinforcements, but food delivery.

Just when they met with difficulty and arranged their formation, they found that a large group of cavalry had appeared, and there were also faint figures of infantry around them. It was aimed at them, and I couldn't help but have a bad feeling in my heart.
