"Commander, should we just wait here?"
In the Song Army's tent, Xin Qiji scratched his head and became impatient, "However, we have already detected that their troops have arrived behind Zongge City. If they enter Qingtang City, not only will we not be able to capture Qingtang City, , even the chance to destroy this army is gone."
"Moreover, the ambush place mentioned by the commander-in-chief cannot be here. The Tubo people really can't think of it, but the key point is that it's useless!"
"How about I lead my troops and kill him directly?
Although we have few soldiers, how can the troops of our Chengdu Prefecture be easily comparable?
Even if Tibet is twice our size, we may not be defeated."
"Report!"
Just as he was talking, a soldier hurriedly entered the tent.
"Commander, Miaochuan City was lost yesterday afternoon and has been occupied by Tibetan soldiers and horses again. Moreover, the Tibetan soldiers and horses have already rushed towards Zongge City and should arrive at their current location tomorrow."
"Let's all withdraw our troops and horses!"
"According to the command of the commander-in-chief, the city will be abandoned as soon as the battle begins, so there is basically no loss."
"Okay, I understand!"
After the soldiers left, Shen Tang smiled at the dumbfounded Xin Qiji and said, "Second brother, aren't these soldiers from Tibet coming?"
"This...if they didn't go to Qingtang City, how could they come back to attack Mochuan City?"
"Of course our ambush is set up here!"
Shen Tang smiled.
Xin Qiji scratched his head randomly, while Shao Hongyuan on the side said thoughtfully, "So, the purpose of their troops should be to attract our attention, but the real killing move should be behind our backs. Did Tubo divide its forces?"
"In the eyes of Tubo, we have 30,000 to 40,000 soldiers and horses. If Tibet comes to kill us by force, even if they have the upper hand and win in the end, I'm afraid the damage will be considerable.
As for the opponent's troops, they were elite troops led by King Pipbo of Tubo, or they were direct members of Zanpu. It would be difficult to explain if the damage was too great.
So, they thought they were smart and used a trick to separate a group of soldiers and horses from the direction of Miaochuan City."
"Moreover, if we hadn't used my father-in-law to find some local people as our eyes and ears, it might not have been easy to discover the location of their army."
"In other words, Tubo thinks that we will regard the troops in front as the main force of Tibet!"
"Just imagine, once we think so and try our best to fight with the troops in the front, but tens of thousands of elite troops suddenly come from the rear, what will be the result?"
Xin Qiji was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Although our brothers are brave, I'm afraid we will lose miserably in that situation!"
"Because of this, not only can they be more confident in winning, but they can also greatly reduce their own damage!"
"Then how should we respond?
How about the commander mobilize some of the troops and horses of the lower general to buy him time and defeat the troops in front of him, and then join forces to deal with the main troops at the back! As long as the general is still alive, they will not be allowed to disturb him. A handsome battle!"
Bian Xi said with a fierce face.
"Brother, do you think that since the opponent's invasion of troops is all part of my plan, then we will be in such a dangerous place?
You can rest assured that when it comes to strategy, we Central Plains people are their ancestors.
If they want to build a plank road openly and secretly to Chencang, I will also let them know what it means to have the mantis stalk the cicada and the oriole behind."
Two days later, the Tubo soldiers and horses arrived at the location where the Song army ambush was about thirty miles away!
But they were obviously not in a hurry, and they set up camp just after noon, just like a cat playing with a mouse!
"Let my sons have a good rest and cook more meat at night. Tomorrow is the day designated by the prince. Then follow me and fight hard!"
Tubo's more than 10,000 soldiers and horses ate and drank enough to sleep, and they did not continue to set off until three o'clock in the morning the next day.
After walking this distance of thirty miles for less than half a day, it was getting dark again! The Tubo soldiers and horses swaggered towards the position of the ambush. As soon as they arrived in the hilly area, ambush was everywhere, surrounded by arrows, rolling logs, etc.
Money was swept towards them like no money.
However, the Tubo soldiers and horses were obviously well prepared.
"Raise your shield!"
With an order, a large and heavy shield appeared directly and blocked the surroundings and the sky above the Tubo army! The Tubo army seemed to be covered in turtle shells. Except for a small number of men and horses who were directly killed and injured, the casualties were extremely high.
Small.
"Bi Zaiyu, Xin Qiji, Shao Hongyuan, each of you leads five thousand soldiers and horses. The Tibetan soldiers and horses in front are yours. If they are defeated, you will punish them according to military law!"
"Commander!"
"Don't worry, just obey the order!"
"I will obey your orders!"
The three of them no longer hesitated, each mounted his horse and led his troops to fight out.
"Commander, I will lead my troops to the rear. If the main force of Tibet comes to attack, they will be held back!"
Bian Xi said without hesitation.
"Hahaha, brother, don't worry, we are waiting for my commander's magic troops to descend from the sky, and then attack Tubo from both sides."
The main force of King Pibo's troops had already arrived in the area of Zongge City. King Pibo looked at the sky, and all the surrounding generals were waiting in formation with their troops.
When the sky darkened slightly, King Pibo issued an order, "All generals, listen to the order, and the army will immediately cover up and attack the enemy soldiers and horses from both front and rear!"
After receiving the order, the generals immediately mounted their horses and led their subordinates towards the place where the Song ambush was located ahead to cover up and kill them.
By the time they arrived at the ambush site, the sky had darkened, and the long torches were rushing towards the Song army's position like a fire dragon!
"Commander, the main force of Tibet is coming. The enemy is huge!"
Bian Xi got the news from the front and rushed to report it.
"Okay! Brother, you and I will work together to kill the enemy!"
At this moment, Bian Xi had no time to say anything, as he gathered the remaining nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses, and then the two led their troops to directly meet the main force of Tibet.
Just for a moment, the two sides were fighting together! There were many Tubo soldiers, but the terrain chosen by Shen Tang was excellent. The Tubo soldiers and horses could not fully deploy. The front was fighting, and the people at the rear could only watch.
However, after several battles, Tubo changed its troops and horses twice, and finally gained the upper hand due to its superior numbers.
However, just when the Tubo people thought they were about to win, two fire dragons suddenly appeared behind them.
These two fire dragons have been very close since they appeared, so it didn't take long for them to come closer!
After King Pibo got the news, he was trying to figure out where these soldiers and horses came from. Could it be that they came from Qingtang City?
After all, there are no other cities behind them.
However, before he could send someone to ask, he heard the soldiers coming to report. The soldiers and horses from the rear actually rushed directly into their rear army. The archers and other archers in their rear army did not show any resistance.
