Chapter 676: Divide the troops again and gather reinforcements
When the battlefield here in Rongjing was cleaned up, Pan Haoming had also returned.
Although he did not lead many soldiers and horses, he achieved brilliant results. He killed three thousand enemies and captured more than a thousand prisoners at an extremely small cost!
However, this is considered normal.
In the dark night, the Tubo people fled in panic and were suddenly intercepted and killed. How could they be in the mood to fight?
Moreover, now they can't tell how many soldiers and horses the Song Dynasty has. Moreover, if they are caught up by the pursuers from behind, they will be dead.
Therefore, facing Pan Haoming who suddenly came out, the Tubo people almost dispersed in a rush. The only regret was that the Tubo commander Suolang Wangdui escaped again!
Shen Tang didn't care about this. He was just a Tubo commander and had nothing to do with the overall situation!
"Commander, the battlefield has been cleared. Our army has suffered a total of more than 5,000 casualties, killed more than 24,000 enemies, and captured 4,800 prisoners!"
Shen Tang nodded slightly. Although the damage in this battle was not small, fortunately, the results were brilliant. Moreover, with Xin Qiji's troops joining in, the number of troops in his hands had reached more than 50,000!
"Hei Khan and Zhuo, where are the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses that followed us now!"
"Commander, Balumu entered the Song Dynasty from Xihe Prefecture and is about to arrive in Chengdu Prefecture. It is estimated that he will be able to join us in about one day.
Another 30,000 soldiers and horses have arrived at the Jingzhaofu Road border and will soon enter Lizhou East Road. They will be able to join us in about five days!"
Hearing Heihan and Zhuo's replies, Shen Tang felt slightly relieved! With the 40,000 soldiers and horses from the Kingdom of Jin, he would have more confidence in the upcoming battle.
Otherwise, the few soldiers and horses I have now may not be enough! Although the current fifty thousand soldiers and horses are quite a lot, they are extremely tired. They have been in continuous battles and running around, and they have hardly been repaired. If it continues, If it goes down, these soldiers will collapse.
"Wuhai, you leave five thousand troops to garrison Rongjing and guard these prisoners!"
After thinking for a moment, Shen Tang slowly spoke!
"Black Khan and Zhuo, you immediately allocate 10,000 horses to fill Xin Qiji's army!"
These ten thousand gold soldiers are one person and three horses, so the number of horses is extremely sufficient!
"General Xin, pick out five thousand soldiers and horses and attack Jiading Mansion directly!"
"The current distribution of the enemy's troops is one of the 50,000 tribal troops near Rune Town. This army is already being restrained and will not have much impact on Jiading Prefecture in a short period of time! Secondly, there is Dan Leng's 50,000 Tibetan army and Shima Town's 50,000 to 60,000 troops.
The 50,000 troops of the Xishan Yechuan tribes were previously blocked in Shiyang, but I have asked Sun Ze’s tribe to withdraw, so they will also continue to advance eastward!"
"If Tubo has no other secret agents, then apart from these few soldiers and horses, there are only more than 20,000 Tibetan elites in Jiading Prefecture!"
"My goal is to directly capture Jiading Prefecture. In this way, the Tubo armies will not be able to join forces. By then, we can defeat them individually! Now, the Battle of Rongjing has just ended, Jiading Prefecture There isn't much reaction time yet.
Therefore, I need to raid Jiading Prefecture as quickly as possible."
"Jiading Prefecture is the central area in the south of Chengdu Prefecture, and it is also the base camp of Tubo.
Once Jiading Prefecture is attacked, Tibetan forces from other directions will rush to help! Among them, the reinforcements from Shima Town should be the fastest!"
"Wu Hai, you lead the remaining 15,000 soldiers and horses of your headquarters and immediately go to the direction of Shima Town.
If the Tibetan soldiers and horses there retreat, don't worry about it. You can rendezvous with Shao Hongyuan's troops first! After Shao Hongyuan's troops have been repaired, you can join forces and copy the retreat of this Tubo soldiers and horses for me! At that time, I will
Order Hei Khan and Zhuo Bu to arrive between Jiading Prefecture and Shima Town first. Ten thousand cavalry will harass you. Coupled with your pincer attack, it will be enough to drag these tens of thousands of troops to the north of Jiading Prefecture!"
"I will obey your orders!"
Wu Hai shouted loudly.
"Hei Khan and Zhuo, you lead your troops to the north of Jiading Prefecture. After you arrive, order your soldiers to repair. You only need to investigate the movements of the Tibetan tribe.
After they leave Shima Town and enter the territory of Jiading Prefecture, you can stop them.
Your purpose is to harass and delay their progress, not to fight them head-on. It’s up to you to decide how to do it!”
Hei Khan and Zhuo nodded. This was an extremely simple task for the Jin cavalry.
"The other Tubo army needs to pass through Hongya and Jiajiang from Danling to Jiading Prefecture! Mengda, you lead your own army of 10,000 troops and the Xin family's army of 5,000 troops to capture these two small cities first.
Then, they followed the city to block Tubo Danling's reinforcements.
You only need to block them for a few days, and another 30,000 golden soldiers and cavalry will arrive.
At that time, I will order these 30,000 soldiers and horses to join you. Together with the escaped Bian Xi tribe, you will have a total of more than 60,000 soldiers and horses. If possible, directly intercept and kill the Tubo army on the road.
!”
"General Xin, you will immediately lead the 5,000 vanguard troops to the direction of Jiading Prefecture later to alert the enemy! The remaining 5,000 troops will follow as soon as possible and also head to Jiading Prefecture.
Hei Khan and Zhuo immediately sent a message to Balumu, asking him to lead his troops to join General Xin in Jiading Mansion!"
Rongjing's defeat was definitely beyond the expectations of the Tibetan commander.
After all, there are 50,000 to 60,000 elite Tibetan troops here, with an additional 50,000 coalition troops cooperating.
However, the coalition forces were dragged into Shiyang by Sun Ze's troops, preventing them from arriving at the Land of Rongjing in time. Shen Tang used a combination of bloody battles and cunning tactics to defeat the forces here in just three days.
Suolangwangdui suddenly created a gap in Jiading Mansion, which was overshadowed by all the stars.
The importance of Jiading Prefecture is self-evident. As an important town in the south of Chengdu Prefecture Road, once Jiading Prefecture is lost, it means that this time Tubo's military use against the Song Dynasty was completely defeated.
Therefore, once there is danger in Jiading Prefecture, whether the Tibetan commander wants it or not, he will immediately send a message to all ministries to return to the defense for rescue!
Encircling the point and calling for reinforcements was also Shen Tang's method of rescuing the trapped Song army.
The Song army was trapped in three places, and they were far apart.
Not to mention whether the strength of Shen Tang's men is sufficient, even if the combat power is sufficient, there will not be enough time to rescue all the Song troops from three directions.
Therefore, Shen Tang's original purpose of sending troops was for Jiading Prefecture.
As long as Jiading Prefecture is trapped, the situation of the Song Army in the other two directions will immediately be alleviated.
"Commander, if the coalition forces from the Western Mountains and Nogawa tribes continue to advance eastward, what will we do?"
Wu Hai asked.
"The coalition forces and the Tibetans are just colluding with each other for their own interests, so they are not completely of the same mind as the Tibetans.
Moreover, with the blocking of Shiyang City, they have been blocked and will not cause us too much trouble."
