"Soldiers,"
With a ferocious expression, Gongbu Zongben roared, "The Da Gan Army's artillery is powerful, but we people of the snowy plateau are not to be trifled with!"
"I will leave the city with you and charge in!"
"We will surely annihilate the entire army, leaving not a single survivor!"
"Soldiers, charge with me!"
On horseback, Gonpo Zongben roared loudly.
Upon receiving the order, Gonpo Zongben no longer hesitated. Immediately, he led tens of thousands of soldiers from the snowy plateau out of the breach in Lhasa city and began a decisive battle with the main force.
"Kill them!"
The army marched out of the city, charging towards the distance amidst the overhead artillery fire.
The roars echoed across the wilderness.
The massive, dark army charged straight toward the Da Ganjun's position.
This scene was naturally witnessed by Wei Xiangdong, the commander of the 26th Infantry Division.
"Wow? Interesting!"
Wei Xiangdong sneered and said, "Are these plateau soldiers tired of living? They actually dare to come out of the city to fight us? It's utterly ridiculous!"
"Ha ha,"
Chief of Staff Yi Xiaofeng smiled and said, "It's good to leave the city, it saves us from having to fight a siege. Fighting in the field will also reduce our casualties."
"That's right!"
Suddenly, Yi Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, and he said, "Commander, how about we retreat a distance first? We can feign weakness to lure the entire Snow Plateau army out of the city, and fight outside the city. We can then severely damage or even annihilate the Snow Plateau defenders at a very low cost! What do you think?"
Yi Xiaofeng stared intently at Wei Xiangdong.
Wei Xiangdong's pupils contracted slightly as he seriously considered the suggestion.
"Show weakness to lure the enemy out of the city, then engage in a decisive battle outside the city?"
Wei Xiangdong muttered to himself, "That's a good idea! But since it's an act, we should act it out seriously. It would be best if these enemy soldiers really thought we were afraid!"
"clear!"
Chief of Staff Yi Xiaofeng smiled and nodded, and immediately issued the order.
In the vast wilderness, a massive army of tens of thousands from the snowy plateau stretched out, a dark mass. In terms of troop strength alone, it was four to five times larger than the 26th Infantry Division!
Leading such a large army, Gonpo Dzongben wore an expression of unwavering confidence. Even their charging spirit was even stronger!
Just as Gonpo Zongben was charging forward, the artillery fire in the sky gradually subsided. Even the large army soldiers directly opposite him began to slowly retreat.
"Zongben, Zongben..."
A trusted aide pointed into the distance and exclaimed, "Look over there! The Da Gan Army is retreating!"
"Um?"
Gongbu Zongben was taken aback and quickly looked up at the opposite side.
Just as expected!
The opposing army actually stopped bombing and began to slowly retreat with its troops.
This scene filled Gonpo Zongben with joy!
"Hahaha……"
A surge of pride welled up within Gonpo Zongben, and he laughed loudly, "These mighty troops are nothing special! Don't they even know how many troops my city of Lhasa has? How dare they attack us? They're overestimating themselves!"
After a few sarcastic remarks, Gonpo Zongben roared, "Soldiers, charge with me! We can't let the army escape like this! Follow me and kill the enemy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the troops guarding the snowy plateau under his command became even more excited.
Aww...
Soldiers guarding the snowy plateau roared and brandished their scimitars as they charged forward.
This scene outside the city was naturally witnessed by King Dusong Gontsen.
"oh?"
King Dusong Gontsen frowned slightly and exclaimed, "These mighty troops seem to be bluffing all along! We went out of the city for a decisive battle, and they ran away instead? It seems they're afraid we'll come out of the city for a decisive battle with them!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Sanglizongben nodded and echoed, "We have a large army in Lhasa, and if you add the city's inhabitants, it outnumbers these large troops by dozens of times. In my opinion, these large troops are only relying on their powerful cannons to try and besiege us. If we are determined to go out and fight, the large troops will definitely not have a good outcome!"
"you're right!"
King Dusong Gontsen laughed and said, "Since the Da Gan army is nothing special, we can't let this golden opportunity slip by! Sangli Zongben, you lead the elite troops in the city out of the city to join Gonbu Zongben in a decisive battle against the Da Gan army! Let's try to keep the Da Gan army outside Lhasa!"
"good!"
Sangli Zongben quickly responded.
After the order was given, Sangli Zongben immediately mustered the remaining 60,000 troops in the city and led them out of the city from near the north gate of Lhasa.
After leaving the city, they joined the battlefield.
In an instant, in the open fields outside the city of Lhasa, two large armies were flanking the main force from both sides.
Chi Daizhudan was stunned by what she saw.
"Why has another large army left the city?"
Chi Daizhu Dan looked puzzled.
"General, it seems that the main force is afraid of our decisive battle outside the city and has begun to retreat."
A follower pointed into the distance and said, "Look over there, Gonpo Zongben is leading a large army in pursuit!"
"General, aren't we overestimating the strength of the Da Gan Army?"
The attendant spoke up, "Faced with overwhelming numerical superiority, even a large army is nothing to worry about!"
"Yeah?"
Chi Daizhu Dan was somewhat puzzled.
He had a feeling that something was off about this whole thing.
It should be noted that back then, outside Shazhou, they had tens of thousands of troops facing a large army of only a few thousand.
In the end, they didn't even get close to the main enemy positions before suffering heavy losses and suffering a crushing defeat!
