Chapter 680: Arrive at Danling, the two places join forces
Chapter 680: Arriving at Danling and joining forces from both locations
When Shen Tang received the report from Teng and Wu, he was leading his troops on a barren mountain south of Danling. Looking down from a distance, he could see a huge team hurriedly heading southeast. And go.
This team was the Tubo army that originally besieged Bian Xi and others.
Now, they received the message from Dawa Tata. Although they were extremely unwilling to do so, they did not dare to stop in Danling.
Having learned the lessons from Suolangwangdui, they did not dare to gamble with their own fate and future.
Therefore, it is the best choice to give up the original plan and return to Jiading Mansion to join forces with Dawa Tata.
"Commander, what should we do next?"
Looking at the news from Teng Wubu in his hand, after a moment of confusion, Shen Tang suddenly realized it!
Tubo and these tribes used each other, and there was no trust at all.
Coupled with the location where Teng Wu and others appeared, it is likely that the Xuhen Department suspected Tubo's intentions.
This is good news for myself and others.
Without these 50,000 troops, our own side's troops are slightly more abundant.
"Send a message to Teng Wu and Cheng Yuhu and ask them to divide their troops.
Leave 10,000 people to continue to guard against the Xuhen Department's changes, and the remaining 10,000 people will go directly to Jiading Mansion to join Xin Qiji's Department to increase some pressure on Tubo."
"We will go to Danling immediately to transport food and grass to help Bian Xi's tribe regain its combat effectiveness as soon as possible..."
The current situation has been changed according to Shen Tang's plan.
First of all, Danling, the Tibetan army, already had Menda leading 15,000 men and horses in front of them, relying on two small cities to block the attack. Together with the 30,000 golden soldiers who were about to arrive, the total was 45,000 men.
Although there are slightly more enemies, it won't be a problem to block them.
When Bian Xi's tribe regains its combat effectiveness, it will have nearly 70,000 soldiers, and will definitely have the strength to wipe out the Tibetan army here.
The Tubo army besieging Shao Hongyuan has Hei Khan and Zhuo leading 10,000 cavalry in front to block the road, and there are 15,000 Wuhai troops and Shao Hongyuan's troops in the rear. These more than 40,000 troops can definitely hold this Tubo army firmly. Contained here.
On the contrary, the most important Jiading Prefecture only had Xin Qiji's 5,000 vanguard troops. Even if the subsequent 10,000 golden soldiers and the 10,000 horses from Teng Wu were added, there were only more than 20,000 troops.
However, although the siege power of these 25,000 men was not sufficient, it was enough to deter Jiading Prefecture and prevent the Dawa Tower from moving...
"Is this a unit led by General Bian Xi at the front?"
The besieged Tibetans had quietly evacuated, and Shen Tang successfully arrived at the position where Danling, Bian Xi and others were garrisoned.
"Who is coming?"
A spy appeared and blocked the way of Shen Tang and others.
"Commander Shen Tang is here in person, why don't you return the favor quickly?"
While talking, Shen Tang also came to the front of the team!
Shen Tang fought side by side with the Zaoyang Army several times. How could they not recognize Shen Tang's face?
Immediately, everyone was surprised.
"It's really General Shen!"
"Let's meet the commander-in-chief!"
Everyone hurriedly saluted!
"Go and tell the general quickly, I will lead the commander into the military camp first!"
The leader, a junior colonel, gave instructions to the soldiers behind him.
"Commander, please!"
Shen Tang was not polite and followed the small school directly into Bian Xi's military camp!
Not long after, someone arrived from the front, it was Bian Xi and other generals who had just received the news.
"Commander, why are you here?
We noticed some changes in the Tibetan military camp before, did they really withdraw?"
Bian Xi looked happy when he saw Shen Tang.
"Yes, the situation has changed now. The Tibetan soldiers and horses have returned to Jiading Prefecture!"
Shen Tang said loudly.
The surrounding soldiers were shocked at first, and a moment later, they burst into loud cheers! Although the Tibetans did not attack them, they had been besieged for these days, and by now they had run out of food and grass, and they were trapped and exhausted.
If it continues, there may be no need for the Tibetans to attack, and they themselves will collapse first.
"Okay, okay, okay..." Bian Xi was also full of surprise!
"Everyone, I have brought a lot of food and grass for the army to repair immediately! The Tubo people have besieged us for many days. We can't just let them leave easily. After we have repaired for two days, we will attack their retreat. , this time, we must keep this Tubo army here."
Shen Tang shouted loudly again.
The surrounding Song troops heard this and cheered loudly again!
Enough food and grass gave them no worries, and Shen Tang's domineering words directly dissipated all the depression they had been feeling these days.
Bian Xi gave an order, and then all the soldiers went to collect food and grass happily. After a while, the long-lost smell of rice wafted in the military camp.
Although there was no food shortage in the Japanese army during these days, in these last days, there was almost only one meal a day, and it was basically gruel. Now that they can have a big meal, it is certainly a good thing for these soldiers. information.
Shen Tang and Bian Xi are not planning on building up their troops here for the time being, and in Shima Town, Shao Hongyuan is also happily welcoming Wu Hai's arrival.
Among the Song armies surrounded in three places, Shao Hongyuan's tribe was the most miserable.
Although the men and horses of those small tribes are not very powerful, they are powerful in numbers, and they continue to attack Shao Hongyuan's tribe in turn!
Although Bian Xi and Xin Qiji were also damaged, they were not serious.
However, the more than 20,000 troops led by Shao Hongyuan lost seven to eight thousand. When Wu Hai arrived, they only had 13,000 troops left, and there were many injured. Even Those that are still intact are also lacking in fighting power due to lack of food and grass.
If the Tubo attack continues, Shao Hongyuan's entire army will definitely be wiped out.
"Shao thanks General Wu Hai for leading his troops to the rescue!"
In the military camp, after seeing Shen Tang's military order in Wu Hai's hand, Shao Hongyuan breathed a sigh of relief and saluted Wu Hai and others solemnly.
"General Shao, you don't have to be polite. This is not my fault, Wu Hai. It was all planned by the commander-in-chief.
Now, the entire situation has changed, we have the upper hand, and it won't be long before we can completely drive the Tubo people out of our Song Dynasty."
"General Shao, this is the food and grass that the commander asked me to bring you! You guys need to rest and repair first. I will also inform you of the commander's next plan."
Naturally, a large army came to sort out the matter, and Wu Hai, Shao Hongyuan and others entered the Chinese army's tent.
Afterwards, Wu Hai told Shao Hongyuan and others about Shen Tang's plan.
"General Shao, I wonder how long it will take for you to regain your combat effectiveness?
There are only Heihan and Zhuo's 10,000 soldiers and horses in front to contain the Tibetan army. If we delay for too long, I'm afraid something will happen."
