Chapter 559: The Two Phases Dismissed, All Parties Prepared
Chapter 559: Two parties stop fighting, all parties prepare
Hearing this, everyone nodded excitedly.
"Now, we still have at least 20,000 fighting soldiers in the city. As a result, our strength is not inferior to that of the Tubo people!"
"In today's battle, although our reinforcements from the Song Dynasty did not completely defeat Tibet, we still won.
Therefore, when the general plans to start fighting again tomorrow, we will leave the city and attack the Tibetans from both front and rear, what do you think?"
Listening to Shao Hongyuan's words, the generals below fell silent.
After a while, a lieutenant general said, "General, there are still Tibetans stationed outside our city, obviously to prepare for our flanking attack.
Why don't we wait a little longer, at least until our reinforcements have severely damaged Tubo before we go out? Otherwise, once we open the city gate and the Tubo people attack, won't our efforts during this period be in vain?"
When Shao Hongyuan heard this, he snorted coldly, "Huh! There are reinforcements coming to the rescue outside the city. How can we sit in the city and watch?"
As long as there is a war outside the city, the Tibetan people's power will be attracted by our reinforcements, so what if they leave some people to guard against us?
If our forces are equal, what should we fear?
Even if we have a head-to-head fight with the opponent, I will not be afraid at all! Furthermore, at worst, it will only be a melee. Now our combined military strength is not inferior to that of the Tubo people. As long as we defend the city gate well, how can we let them go?
Are those Tubo people coming in?"
Sensing the firmness in Shao Hongyuan's words, all the generals stopped talking and acted as if they all agreed.
Moreover, they had been frustrated by being surrounded by the Tubo people in the Chengdu mansion for a long time, so it was a good thing to be able to go out of the city to fight with them now.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Shao Hongyuan thought for a moment, and then said, "Tonight, in addition to the necessary patrol team, let all brothers have a full meal and have a good rest! Tomorrow morning, dinner will be served at Yin time and we will leave the city at Mao time!"
"Zhang Lu, when the time comes, my general will open the north city gate and leave five thousand soldiers and horses for you! Unless they are all dead, this city gate must be in our hands.
The rest of the people should follow my general and fight directly out of the city! It would be best if we could defeat the Tibetans in one battle and join up with the reinforcements outside the city.
If we cannot kill the Tibetan soldiers, we will retreat and look for another opportunity."
When all the generals heard the words, they all obeyed the order and left...
Outside the city, in Shen Tang’s military tent, Shen Tang was also facing the generals!
After pondering for a moment, Shen Tang spoke first, "Everyone, this Tubo battle formation is very defensive. If the battle continues like this, even if we win in the end, the damage will be considerable.
Therefore, we should try our best to avoid a deadly war with Tubo!"
"Bian Xi, Ji Rong, wait until tomorrow and set up the formation like this..."
When the two armies were fighting today, Shen Tang had been thinking about ways to break the formation. After testing by Bian Xi and others, Shen Tang already had a certain plan in mind, so he directly informed Bian Xi and others of the method he thought of.
.
"Commander's brilliant plan! If this happens, the enemy's formation will be in chaos and we will win!"
Bian Xi was overjoyed when he heard this.
"Barumu!"
Shen Tang turned his head and looked towards the two of them, "Tomorrow, after Bian Xi and others have broken through the enemy's formation and disrupted them, you will directly lead your cavalry into the enemy's camp! Tomorrow's battle, I will let this Tubo
People were seriously injured.”
"In addition, today's battle should have been known to General Shao and others, so they are likely to come out of the city tomorrow to cooperate with us in attacking Tibet.
However, I have observed before that the Tubo people deliberately left 10,000 to 20,000 people behind, in order to guard against a pincer attack by our army in the city."
"Heihan and Zhuo, when the battle ahead gets entangled tomorrow, you will lead 10,000 cavalry and be on standby at any time.
If you see the Song army coming out of the city, you should immediately lead your army around the fighting area ahead, insert yourself between the two armies, and join the Song army coming out of the city!"
Compared with the Song army, the Tubo military camp was a bit quiet!
Now, after fighting for a day with the reinforcements of the Song Army, one of the commanders was killed first! Although Suolang Wangdui was rescued and not dead, he was seriously injured and is still in a coma even now!
It is not an exaggeration to say that life and death are unknown.
In the collision of military formations, the Song soldiers, who had always been weak and secretly fighting, actually fought as hard as them. They even suffered a slight loss and directly damaged nearly 3,000 soldiers and horses. What did the Tubo people do?
Not worried?
"You have seen today's battle. What do you think we should do?"
Sambuza, who was sitting on the front seat, slowly spoke.
The generals below stared at each other for a moment, and then one of them stood up and said, "Commander, these Song soldiers are powerful, far beyond the Song soldiers we have encountered before.
Moreover, those cavalry are obviously the elite of the Jin Kingdom. Although our Iron Barrel Formation is heavily defended, we still suffer a lot from these cavalry.
Although we also have cavalry, not only are they few in number, but their combat power is also far inferior to that of the opponent. Therefore, our chances of winning this battle are unpredictable!"
"Hmph! This Song army just won by luck for a while. Besides, we have never been defeated.
If we fight again tomorrow, I will definitely defeat the Song army!"
The person who spoke is the general who will fight today!
After withdrawing his troops, he returned to the military camp and heard people talk about today's defeat from time to time. He was also a veteran on the battlefield. After entering Chengdu Mansion, he killed many Song troops, and even provided support for the first time.
The tens of thousands of Song troops also died under his siege. Now these Song troops are indeed powerful, but how could he admit defeat?
Sambuza thought for a moment, and then said, "In that case, we will fight again tomorrow! If we can defeat the Song army, then we will continue to siege the city.
If you lose, just retreat!"
"Although Chengdu Mansion is important, the commander-in-chief's layout is far away. It's really not worth losing troops and generals here."
"In addition, the movements outside the city cannot be hidden from the Song army inside the city.
Therefore, it is very likely that if we fight the Song army outside the city tomorrow, the Song army in the city will come directly to kill us."
"Hamu, tomorrow you will lead 15,000 troops and keep an eye on the movement of the North City Gate. Once the Song soldiers in the city come out, you will not only intercept and kill them, but also seize the city gate as much as possible."
"If we can take this opportunity to attack the city, then the Song army outside the city will not be able to do anything to us.
At that time, we only need to wait for the commander-in-chief to join us and completely destroy the Song army."
A general sitting at the end immediately stood up and said, "Commander, don't worry, as long as the Song army dares to open the city gate, the general will definitely fight their way into the city."
"Okay! Let the boys have a good rest. The battle will continue tomorrow!"
