Chapter 678: The commander was shocked and harassed on the road
Rong Jing?
This sudden sound made Dawa Tata stunned! In the land of Rongjing, there were more than 50,000 Tibetan elites in Suolangwangdui. Could it be that he defeated the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty?
After all, the Song Dynasty seemed to have only 40,000 reinforcements!
Just as Dawa Tata was secretly guessing, a messenger hurriedly broke into the tent.
"Lord Commander, Rongjing was defeated, and Commander Suolang Wangdui led thousands of remaining soldiers to flee..."
Just one sentence left Dawa Tata completely stunned!
Defeated?
flight?
How can it be?
Even if Suolang Wangdui was an idiot, how could he not be able to withstand a mere 40,000 soldiers of the Song Dynasty?
brush!
Dawatata stretched out his hand to pull the battle report over. When he took a look, his expression changed drastically!
The battle report was written by Suolang Wangdui, and he told Dawa Tata everything about the Battle of Rongjing! His mind went blank, and he only stared at the handwriting on the battle report in confusion.
Rongjing was defeated, with more than 30,000 soldiers killed and wounded, and only 5,000 defeated soldiers left...
Only 11 of the 50,000 troops are left?
If Sonam Wangdui were to face him, Dawa Tata would definitely chop him with a knife! Even if the relationship between the two is irreconcilable, it is difficult to forgive him.
There were tens of thousands of elites, so why were they defeated so miserably?
The next moment, Dawa Tata suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! Rong Jing was defeated. If the commander of the Song Army was not a fool, he would definitely know what to do next.
Is the commander-in-chief of the Song Army a fool?
How can one be a fool if he can defeat more with less and defeat Suolangwangdui in a big way?
In other words, the Song army should be heading towards Jiading Mansion now?
Dawa Tata looked stern. At this moment, he could not think about how to punish Suolang Wangdui. The most important thing was to find a way to mobilize troops to protect Jiading Mansion.
Once Jiading Mansion is lost, the Tubo army will no longer have a foundation. Even if he still has 100,000 Tubo troops in his hands, they will only be scattered troops and will definitely not be able to hold on here for long.
He didn't even have a chance to assemble the army, and he would be directly divided and defeated by the Song army.
"Send an order to the troops of the Xuhen Division to immediately go north to Jiading Prefecture and join up with my commander! In addition, let the Shima Town and Danling troops return immediately! Give up the siege of the Song Army..."
Without hesitating for long, Dawa Tata made a decision directly! The situation here is originally a chain formation, and its biggest advantage lies in the difficulty of rescuing the enemy.
Coupled with the two armies he ambushed outside, the Song army had nowhere to start.
However, now that the Song Army has made a breakthrough, the situation is over!
If the situation continues, the Song army can threaten Jiading Prefecture if it advances, and can go to Danling to rescue another Song army and intercept and kill the Tibetan army in Danling.
Therefore, now Tubo can only join forces and stabilize the situation in Jiading Prefecture first before making plans...
Although he didn't want to, in order to avoid a total defeat, Dawa Tata had no choice but to do this!
"This idiot Suolang Wangdui misled me!"
He couldn't help but curse angrily.
If the Rong Jing had not been broken, how could there be such a situation?
"call!"
Taking a deep breath to gradually wake up from his anger, "Immediately send out detective horses to monitor the fifty miles around Jiading Mansion. If the Song army appears, report it immediately!"
"I just hope that the Song Army can arrive later!"
Dawa Tata said to himself that as long as the 50,000 troops from the Xuhen Department arrive, Jiading Prefecture will naturally have no worries! He does not believe that the Song Army is a god and can defeat the Jiading Prefecture where 70,000 troops are stationed!
However, it was obvious that it was impossible for the Song Army to march according to his ideas.
After only half a day's work, the detective horse he sent out quickly sent back a message.
The leading force of the Song Army has been discovered, and it is only sixty miles away from Jiading Prefecture. In three hours at most, this Song Army can reach Jiading Prefecture.
Because this army is all elite cavalry!
The troops of the Xuhen Department in Rune Town, which is closest to Jiading Mansion, were the first to get the news. The one who led the troops this time was the Minister of Xuhen named Shen Tumo! Although it was a bit strange for Tubo to urge them to go to Jiading Mansion, he also
Without thinking too much, he led the army out of Rune Town and headed towards Jiading Prefecture in a leisurely manner.
The distance between the two places is only a hundred miles, and it will take them two days at most to reach Jiading Mansion.
However, just after they left Rune Town and traveled no more than ten miles north, they encountered an unexpected situation!
Just as they were passing through a barren mountain, suddenly, a large group of nearly ten thousand cavalrymen rushed out of the mountain col. The cavalry rushed towards them, frightening the soul of Shentu Mou!
Without saying a word, he took up his position and prepared to fight.
However, this cavalry did not charge directly into the formation, but roared past them, raining arrows down. Although there were some casualties, they were bearable.
It wasn't until the cavalry completely disappeared without a trace that he carefully allowed the army to gather its formation and continue to move forward.
"Where did these soldiers and horses come from? They look like the Song Army, but why did the Song Army appear here?
Is it possible that this is a secret strategy of the Tubo people?"
It’s no wonder that Shentu was suspicious, it was really strange that this army came here! Logically speaking, this place is close to Jiading Mansion and it is under the control of Tubo. How could the Song Dynasty come here?
In order to prevent accidents, he deliberately slowed down the army. If there was any trouble, he would immediately form an array to respond to the enemy! Although he had 50,000 soldiers and horses, the enemy in secret was the cavalry! If the array faced each other, he would still have a few points to contend with.
The courage to fight.
But if the formation is broken up, in front of the cavalry, your own army is just 50,000 ducks, only allocated to the enemy to create military exploits.
We moved forward cautiously, and it took half a day before we moved forward again, a distance of less than twenty miles.
Fortunately, the army just now was like a dream and never appeared again.
But just when Shen Tumo breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, another 10,000-strong cavalry came towards them! Moreover, in addition to this cavalry, there was also the faint sound of horse hoofs around them.
Come on, the barren mountains are filled with smoke and dust, obviously there are people and horses in them!
"hiss!"
Shen Tumou took a breath, "Is this really the Song Army?
But why are there so many soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty here? Is it possible that the Song army has reached an agreement with the Tubo people?
The reason why you let me lead the troops north is to plot against my troops?"
This iron cavalry was the same as before, they just harassed them but did not fight to the death.
However, this is enough to make Shen Tumo uneasy! In the unknown road ahead, there is a terrifying army secretly following him. He doesn't know when it will come out. Should he still follow the Tubo people's instructions?
Are you talking about heading to Jiading Prefecture?
