Li Min paid attention to the war between Tubo and Tuyuhun every day.
Now, Tubo has invaded Tuyuhun territory.
Tuyuhun had already prepared an ambush, waiting specifically to trick Tubo.
At this point, even if both parties know that they are being plotted, there is no possibility of stopping.
This is the saying that when an arrow is on the string, it must be fired.
At this time, Li Min also had to admire the cold-blooded ruthlessness of Tuyuhun's Khan Fuyun and the national preceptor Murong Xiaojun.
In order to win the war, the people on their frontiers were all ruthlessly abandoned by them.
For three consecutive days, hundreds of people who came forward were massacred in Tuyuhun every day.
But Tuyuhun kept his troops on hold.
Three days later, Zhang Jianghe, the Tubo State Counselor, sent 5,000 vanguard troops to attack Tuyuhun's first city.
As a result, they easily invaded the city.
This time, they did not carry out mass killings.
After all, after taking Tuyuhun, they also needed these herdsmen for grazing.
The previous massacre was just for fear of leaking the news.
But now, it is no longer possible to block the news.
However, it is too late now that Tuyuhun has learned the news.
Now Tuyuhun is probably still at war with the Tang Dynasty, right?
By the time they reacted, almost the entire Tuyuhun had fallen into their hands.
Next, they launched a crazy attack.
The journey is unstoppable and unstoppable.
In one day, they actually conquered more than ten cities.
Because they launched the attack suddenly, they did not encounter the slightest resistance.
The attack progressed smoothly, which was beyond Zhang Jianghe's imagination.
Zhang Jianghe had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Their plan is perfect.
Judging from the information they obtained, everything is fine and there shouldn't be any accidents.
Well, at this time, he never expected that Tubo and Tuyuhun were actually just pawns of the King of Shu.
Their every move is under the control of King Shu.
…
Because Tubo's military strength far exceeded that of Tuyuhun.
Therefore, every time he attacked a city, Zhang Jianghe would leave people behind to guard it.
In this way, after they capture the entire Tuyuhun, they can successfully control the entire Tuyuhun.
It is precisely because of the continuous division of troops that their troops are getting fewer and fewer.
But Zhang Jianghe is not afraid of this, because the total number of Tibetan troops is probably only tens of thousands.
And the combat effectiveness is still uneven.
What's more, they still have a considerable number of troops fighting against the Tang Dynasty, and there is no way they can withdraw.
Well, with the troops he currently leads, it is more than enough to eliminate one Tuyuhun.
For the past two days, the Tibetan attacks have been overwhelming.
And every time they captured a city, they would block the news and no one would leave the city.
Because their achievements were so fast, the defenders of Tuyuhun City in front of them didn't even have time to react.
No, on this day, the Tubo vanguard army, with five thousand soldiers, quickly attacked the city before the defenders of the Tuyuhun city in front could react.
Behind the scenes, the army under the command of National Preceptor Zhang Jianghe was preparing to enter the city. Unexpectedly, the city gate in front suddenly closed.
not good!
Seeing this scene, Zhang Jianghe couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Ahead, their 5,000 vanguard troops had just rushed into the city. How could they close the city gate now?
This must have been passed by the garrison in the city.
But, how many soldiers were there in the entire Tuyuhun?
How many defenders could there be in a mere city? How could they be a match for their 5,000 vanguard troops?
Unless there was an ambush among them!
But their speed was so fast, how could Tuyuhun react so quickly and set up an ambush here?
A bad premonition suddenly spread in Zhang Jianghe's heart.
Quick, attack the city! Get them out.
Zhang Jianghe's first reaction was to rescue the five thousand vanguard troops in the city.
The vanguard army of 5,000 people must not be left here for nothing.
Zhang Jianghe gave an order, and the Tubo army immediately launched an attack on the city.
However, what greeted them was an overwhelming bow and arrow attack.
These Tibetan soldiers attacking the city were completely unprepared and did not even raise their shields.
Under this round of bow and arrow attacks, they immediately suffered heavy casualties.
The national counselor Zhang Jianghe had to temporarily withdraw his troops, and then reorganized his soldiers to attack the city.
Offensive warfare has never been the strong point of Tubo soldiers, and they did not carry large siege weapons this time.
Of course, there are also some relatively simple siege equipment.
In contrast, the city of Tuyuhun was actually quite crudely built.
If the two sides are facing each other, then it is a half-weight.
But this time, what greeted the Tibetan soldiers was scalding hot oil.
The hot oil was poured on the bodies of the Tibetan soldiers who were attacking the city, immediately scalding large areas of their bodies.
There were shrill screams and the smell of burnt meat.
The offensive of the Tibetan soldiers was blocked by the sudden pouring of hot oil, and the offensive could not help but stall.
What greeted them next was rolling logs.
Under the constant attacks of the defenders, the Tibetan soldiers who attacked the city suffered heavy losses.
In less than half an hour, thousands of people were killed or injured.
And even though they had been in the palace to Tuyuhun for so long, so many people had not been killed or injured.
Zhang Jianghe saw that the situation was not right and quickly withdrew his soldiers.
Could it be that Tuyuhun was already prepared?
However, there are still five thousand of our vanguard troops in the city, and the sounds of fighting can still be heard in the sky.
In Tuyuhun City, there are actually enough soldiers guarding the city.
How many soldiers did they have ambushing in the city?
For a moment, Zhang Jianghe felt a faint chill in his heart, feeling that something was wrong.
An instinctive voice made Zhang Jianghe retreat immediately.
But at this time, Zhang Jianghe was really unwilling to abandon the five thousand soldiers in the city.
Because how many soldiers and horses are there in the entire Tuyuhun?
With their current troops and horses, even if they were to fight against Tuyuhun's entire nation, they would not be at a disadvantage.
He didn't believe that all the troops in Tuyuhun were gathered here.
Well, the only thing Zhang Jianghe did not consider was that he did not consider the geographical advantages of both parties.
Now they are going deep into the enemy's territory and marching straight in.
Tuyuhun, on the other hand, was fighting in his own country, and it could be said that he had the right time, place, and people.
Because of the momentary hesitation, Zhang Jianghe did not choose to retreat immediately.
Instead, they sent soldiers to surround the city and put pressure on the defenders inside the city so that they could not fully deal with the five thousand vanguard troops trapped in the city.
