Once Tubo loses these hundreds of thousands of troops, it will basically have no means of resistance. The few Tubo people will fight for their lives and at most they can recruit hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but these soldiers and the soldiers with them are not
It's the same. They are basically old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers. Facing the regular army, they are basically in a situation of collapse at the first touch.
Before his death, the Tubo commander wanted to use himself to hold back the Southwest Army and buy some time for the army to break through. As the Tubo commander, he knew the situation of Tubo very well. If it was completely wiped out, it would be basically impossible for Tubo to stop the Central Plains army, but if
Tens of thousands of people can break out of the encirclement. Relying on these soldiers and the special environment of Tubo, it is possible to hold on.
But his expectations were all in vain. Long before Zeng Yi took the masters of Tianlong Temple to take action, the Southwest Army had listened to Zeng Yi's suggestion and sent out tens of thousands of cavalry, just to prevent the Tibetans from running away.
If the Tubo people don't break out, they may still have a chance. Of course, the chance is very slim. As long as they can hold on until dawn, then they have a much higher chance of success. But at night, the Tubo people, who are deeply poisoned by night blindness, can't see at all.
There was no way to break out of the encirclement in a unified and orderly way before the Qing Dynasty. In the end, the Tibetan army fell into complete chaos after issuing the order to break out of the encirclement.
Most of the soldiers could only run away based on their feelings, which was basically delivering food to the cavalry of the Southwest Army.
The war lasted all night, and when the sun rose the next day, everyone saw that the ground on the main battlefield was stained red with blood. More than 100,000 Tubo people fell on this land. The plan of the Tubo commander to commit suicide was basically over.
Declare failure.
The battlefield between the two sides stretches for dozens of miles. Here on the main battlefield, the Southwest Army has an absolute advantage. With the help of artillery, it wiped out more than 100,000 Tibetan troops, but its own casualties have also exceeded 10,000. Such casualties cannot be dealt with by the Southwest Army.
Not to be too miserable.
This is still the main force with the help of artillery. It is everywhere on the battlefield. The only big advantage of the Southwest Army is the enemy's night blindness. In order to annihilate the Tibetan soldiers everywhere, all armies paid a huge price, and the main force only suffered one casualty.
There were more than 10,000 people, but the total losses of other armies exceeded 30,000, even close to 40,000.
Counting the losses of the main force, the Southwest Army also paid such a heavy price in order to eliminate the Tubo army this time. Fortunately, the main force of the Tubo army was basically eliminated. From the beginning, the Tubo army entered the Central Plains with hundreds of thousands of troops. Until now,
Those killed by the Southwest Army were like lost dogs. According to the calculations of the Southwest Army, the number of people who escaped back to Tibet was no more than 20,000!
In the next two days, the Southwest Army launched attacks in various places to wipe out any fish that had escaped the Tibetan army. And within two days, the military actions of the Southwest Army were enough to spread throughout the world.
The southwest army suddenly launched a decisive battle without any warning, which shocked the whole world. However, after the shock, the people of the Central Plains were of course very happy. On the contrary, the people of the Four Nations Allied Forces could not laugh anymore.
Especially when the Tubo Emperor received this news, he almost fell off the throne. He didn't believe it at first. He didn't believe his hundreds of thousands of troops. In just a few days, the machine was wiped out. However, he repeatedly confirmed that this was true. Tubo
The emperor vomited out a mouthful of old blood.
The Tubo court suddenly became panicked, and the ministers were talking a lot. Some people were even thinking about transferring their property in advance. They knew very well that with the loss of these large armies, Tubo would not be able to stop the Central Plains army at all.
Fortunately, Tubo was not without capable people. Someone quickly came up with countermeasures. On the one hand, they gathered the defeated troops and stationed them at the major border crossings. On the other hand, they also began to forcibly recruit soldiers nationwide. However, the Persian population was limited. Previously,
With an army of hundreds of thousands, almost all the young and middle-aged men had been recruited, so Tubo had no choice but to relax its boundaries.
Many underage Scouts, and many older ordinary people, were called up, forcibly armed, and sent to the border fortress at the border with the Central Plains. At the same time, most of the Imperial Guards protecting the Tubo City were also
Sent to the front line.
In just a few days, Tubo fought hard and raised another hundreds of thousands of troops. However, except for less than 20,000 defeated troops and more than 20,000 imperial guards, these hundreds of thousands of troops still had some strength.
Basically they are all stragglers.
The other three countries of the Four-Nation Alliance were also a little confused. They never thought that Tubo would be defeated so suddenly. It would be useless to take responsibility for Tibet. The four countries could only grit their teeth and continue to support Tibet with supplies. They even sent
A professional military training group came to help Tibetan armed soldiers.
I just don’t know, but how will these military training groups feel when they see the so-called Tubo army? Even with a powerful training group, it is impossible for these stragglers to gain initial combat strength in a short period of time.
The only good news for the Tubo people is that the Southwest Army did not plan to invade Tubo in one go, but only pushed the troops to the forefront. The Southwest Army suffered a lot of casualties, and they also needed to rest and recuperate.
and staff recruitment.
For the Southwest Army, the imperial court quickly replenished troops and equipment. These new recruits were much stronger than the Tubo soldiers. These people had all been trained in the Central Plains for a period of time!
"Congratulations, general! The imperial court sent an imperial edict, which greatly praised the general's actions. The next step, the general, is also necessary, and he will prepare a battle plan to invade Tubo!"
"Haha, we are all happy together. Without Mr. Ni's help, our southwest army would probably still be confronting the Tibetan army at this time!"
"General, you don't have to be humble. I'm just an assistant. The main thing is the general's contribution!"
These days, Persia, Xixia and the grasslands have once again launched extremely violent attacks on the Western Regions and Yanmen Pass and Jiayuguan Pass, hoping to achieve some breakthrough on the battlefield. Among the four-nation coalition forces, Persia and other countries are really worried about the situation of Tubo. Tubo
With the current strength shown, it is very likely that the Central Plains will invade Tubo.
And once Persia fails to occupy the Western Region before Tubo's defeat, Persia will be in some trouble facing the fallen Tubo!
A few days later, the Southwest Army, whose personnel had been replenished, began to think about the next war against Tibet.
"Nowadays, almost all the forces in Tubo are concentrated at the major passes on our western border. There are basically no resistance forces in other parts of the country. It would be great if we could have a large army in the Western Regions. It is almost impossible to enter from the Western Regions.
If Tubo is defended by humans, Tubo will basically be doomed!" Looking at a lot of information about Tubo, the commander of the Southwest Army couldn't help but say.
