Chapter 684: The commander is surprised, Munda blocks the way
Chapter 684: The commander is surprised and Munda blocks the way
The Tibetan formation was broken, and casualties immediately increased!
Although Guoxiong tried his best to urge his troops to block the Song army's advance, how could the Song army, who was in a frenzied vent, be able to stop it?
After less than half an hour, the Tubo army collapsed. Even if Guoxiong was unwilling, in order to reduce the damage, he could only bite the bullet and withdraw his troops...
The Song army charged and killed them for a while, but stopped when they saw the Tibetan soldiers fleeing back to the camp!
Many Song soldiers let out a deep breath, finally venting their grievances over the past few days. Especially in this battle, thousands of Tibetan people were injured. Although their own casualties were not small, it was still considered a victory.
.
When the whole army returns to camp, others will come to clean up the battlefield!
A group of generals, led by Wu Hai, welcomed Shao Hongyuan back. After congratulating each other, the generals left again, leaving only Wu Hai and Shao Hongyuan.
"General Shao is mighty, and we have won a great victory in this battle.
However, I would like to ask the general to exercise some restraint. It would be best if the men under our command can lose less!"
Wu Hai said with a smile.
In this battle, nearly half of the Tibetan casualties were lost, but the Song army also paid a price of two to three thousand men.
It can be said that he injures the enemy by one thousand and loses by eight hundred! If he didn't understand Shao Hongyuan's state of mind, Wu Hai would definitely not agree to such a desperate fight. Now that the first battle has come to an end, it would not be good if he continued to fight like this.
Nodding with a bit of shame, Shao Hongyuan said seriously, "Thank you, General Wu Hai, for your understanding. Next, we will fight step by step and figure it out slowly! Anyway, we have tens of thousands of troops here and ten thousand cavalry to help. I forgive them.
Can't escape from our grasp.
Let us first consume as much of their fighting spirit and character as possible, and then when Commander-in-Chief Dai Jin arrives, we can wipe them out in one fell swoop."
"So good!"
Wu Hai smiled and nodded.
In the following days, Wu Hai and Shao Hongyuan led their troops to fight every day. However, each time they focused on defense, and were threatened by large weapons such as bed crossbows. Even if the enemy wanted to fight to the death, it would be difficult for them to decide.
In addition, the 10,000 cavalrymen of Hei Khan and Zhuo also harassed the Tubo army from time to time, which made the Tubo army uneasy and did not dare to leave the camp rashly and continue southward. The Song army was firmly restrained in this desolate place!
Let's talk about another Tubo army. After withdrawing from Danling, they rushed towards Jiading Prefecture.
The distance from Danling to Jiading Prefecture is almost three times that of Shima Town. There are two small towns on the way, Hongya and Jiajiang.
Following the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, they headed straight to the southeast. Although the army was rushing in a hurry, they did not encounter any setbacks, so the march was considered smooth.
It only took three days to arrive at the first small town, Hongya!
Originally, these small towns had already been occupied by the Tibetan army, and they were even guarded by Tibetan soldiers.
However, in recent times, due to the siege and killing of the Song army, all the Tubo armies in the small towns in various state capitals have been transferred away.
After all, compared to guarding these small cities, it is naturally more important to surround and kill the Song army.
Moreover, these small towns were surrounded by the Tubo army. Even if the Tubo army temporarily left, would they still dare to rebel?
Therefore, this Tibetan army came to Hongya City almost undefended!
Looking at the closed city gate, the leader of the Tibetan army, Sambuza, frowned slightly. How could the city gate be closed in this clear day?
My group of people rushed around quickly, but they just waited to enter the city to have a good rest and replenish their supplies.
"Someone, please open this city gate!"
Sambuza shouted impatiently!
The officials of the Song Dynasty here had already been killed or fled, and there were only some common people and wealthy households who had no time to escape left in the city. I don't know who it was, but they dared to close the door without authorization, saying that they could not be taught a lesson.
Just as he was thinking about it, a group of Tubo troops came directly outside the city gate!
"Open the city gate. We are the commander-in-chief of Sambuza. Why don't we come out quickly to welcome the commander-in-chief into the city?"
These Tubo people shouted repeatedly, but the city gate was tightly closed, with no intention of opening it!
However, at this moment, there was some sudden movement on the city wall!
"Why don't you open the door quickly? Do you have to wait for the commander-in-chief to get angry..." One of the Tubo soldiers raised his head angrily. However, before he finished speaking, there was a look of horror in his eyes. This Hongya is just a small city with a city wall.
It's not that high, only about two feet in total.
Therefore, the soldier could clearly see the scene on the city wall.
Behind the city wall, a soldier was quickly taking his position. For a moment, a creaking sound was heard, and from the gap, sharp arrows with cold light appeared.
"enemy?"
He was stunned subconsciously, and then he wanted to shout, "Let's go..."
However, as soon as his words rang out, a large rain of arrows fell from the top of the city, directly covering their entire group!
Ah, ah, ah...
The screams came one after another. This team of dozens of people was caught off guard and became a target. In addition, the soldiers on the city were condescending, so it was not difficult to shoot them. Therefore, no one came from the city.
Escape from the door.
This sudden change shocked the Tubo army!
Commander Sambuza was furious. How dare an enemy hide in such a small city?
"Prepare for war, prepare to attack the city!"
Even if they are just an army that is not good at attacking cities, with their huge numbers, they can definitely crush this small city easily!
As Sambuza's words rang out, silhouettes of people swayed on the originally silent city wall. Soon, the city wall was filled with Song troops!
"Who are you from?
Don’t you know that this commander is Sambuza?
Open the city gate quickly, otherwise, when the city is defeated, I will order the massacre of the city!"
Sambuza stepped forward on his horse and shouted angrily towards the top of the city.
Not long after, a burly figure appeared in Sambuza's sight.
"The last general has seen the Tibetan leader!"
"Who are you?"
Sambuza asked coldly!
"The last general is Menda from the Poison Ivy tribe!"
According to Shen Tang's order, Mengda had already led his troops to capture the two small towns of Hongya and Jiajiang.
These two small cities did not have any decent defense at all, so even if Munda was not good at attacking cities, he easily captured the city and then waited for the arrival of the Tibetan army.
"Tribal people?"
Sambuza's heart skipped a beat. How dare a small tribe dare to challenge the majesty of Tibet?
If this was not the right time, Sambuzajue would not mind giving these soldiers a powerful warning! "Don't you know that I, Tibet, have formed an alliance with all the tribes?
What are your intentions in obstructing my commander here?"
