Chapter 386 Dafeichuan
After some discussion, Ludongzan and his son Lunqinling led the army to attack Tuyuhun. Ludongzan's eldest son, Zanxiruo (Ger Zanxiruo Duobu), was stationed in the main camp to take charge of logistics and other matters.
Deputy Prime Minister Dayan Mangbuzhi and Ludongzan's fourth son, Xiduoyu (Ger Dagu Riqi), sent troops to stop Wang Fangyi's troops from coming to rescue.
Ludongzan's third son, Zanpo, and fifth son, Burun Zanren (Ger Zanxi Gongdun) led troops to deal with Heizhi Changzhi.
The title of Lun Qinling Tubo God of War was indeed not exaggerated. Tuyuhun and the Tang army were beaten back step by step, and finally relied on the terrain to stop the invasion of the Tubo army.
The other two Tubo armies were not so lucky. Not only did they encounter the rising generals of the Tang Dynasty, but they also encountered the Tang Dynasty's firearms troops, which doomed them to failure.
"Deputy Prime Minister, my father ordered us to stop the Tang army in Dafeichuan and not let them go to rescue Tuyuhun. He did not order us to take the initiative to attack. It is not appropriate for us to attack like this! Disobeying military orders will be severely punished." Xiduoyu said to the deputy prime minister Dayan Mangbuzhi beside him.
Lu Dongzan has always been strict in military discipline. Anyone who disobeys military orders will be sentenced to death, even Lu Dongzan's son is not spared. Xi
Duoyu has a lot of experience with Lu Dongzan's severity. If Lu Dongzan knows that they act on their own, they will definitely suffer.
"Hahaha!" Dayan Mangbuzhi laughed and said, "Dagu Rijian, you don't have to worry. The commander of the Tang army is just an unknown person. You and I have been in battle for a long time. Why should we be afraid of him?"
"As for your father, as long as you and I don't say anything, there will be no problem. If you and I can defeat this Tang army this time, it will be a great achievement."
"This..." Xi Duoyu was tempted! But they were still a little worried that their unauthorized actions would be known by Lu Dongzan, "Then how should we answer then?"
"Let's say that we were ordered by the prime minister to stop the Tang Dynasty reinforcements, but who knew that the Tang army was vulnerable and was defeated by our army. We took advantage of the victory to pursue and annihilate the enemy army." Dayan Mangbuzhi smiled.
"Then do as the vice prime minister said." Xi Duoyu said. "
Okay! Send the order immediately, rush to the Dafei River and destroy the Tang army." Dayan Mangbuzhi ordered.
...
"Report to the general! The Tibetans are attacking!" A soldier rushed into the tent, knelt on one knee, and saluted with his hands crossed.
"How many troops are there in this group of Tibetans?" asked the deputy general Zhang Yu.
"According to observation, there are about 80,000 people!" said the soldier.
"Got it!" Wang Fangyi sat in the main seat in the middle without any panic.
"General! What should we do next?" asked the deputy general Wang Lin.
"Since they have come to visit us in person, if we don't entertain them well, wouldn't it be impolite and make people say that our Tang Dynasty has no rules." "The
soldiers of the Firearm Battalion have been trained for a long time, and it's time to show their skills. It takes a thousand days to train soldiers and only one day to use them. Let the soldiers of the Firearm Battalion entertain the guests from Tubo well." Wang Fangyi said.
"Yes! I will pass the order now!" The deputy general Wang Lin stood up, saluted and left.
"Dong~Dong~" The sound of war drums rang on the quiet Dafei River. The Tang army set up fences and built fortifications on the Dafei River. Countless guns stretched out from the fences. The Tibetan deputy prime minister
immediately ordered a charge, and the Tibetan cavalry deployed a charge formation, like a sharp knife, stabbing at the Tang army in Dafeichuan. "Don't panic, everyone, you must stay calm, wait until the enemy comes closer before fighting, stay calm, don't panic!" The officer ordered the soldiers of the firearms battalion not to panic. The Tibetan cavalry was getting closer and closer, and the soldiers' palms were sweating! The sweat on the forehead flowed down the cheeks, and the trembling hands still held the muskets in their hands steadily, aiming at the Tibetan cavalry rushing towards them quickly. "Fire!" The officer gave an order, and the soldiers pulled the trigger, and the bullets sprayed out of the mouth of the muskets, hitting the Tibetan cavalry. Looking at the long sticks with holes suddenly sticking out from the fence, Dayan Mangbuzhi and Xi Duoyu were puzzled. Shouldn't the shieldmen be in front and the archers in the back, preparing to output long-range firepower to suppress our cavalry? What's the matter with these sticks with holes? As the cavalry got closer and closer to the Tang army fence, the Tang army remained indifferent. Dayan Mangbuzhi and Xi Duoyu thought that the Tang army was frightened by him and didn't know how to move. They were full of contempt for the Tang army in front of them, especially the Tang army's main general Wang Fangyi, who was despised by them even more. When the Tibetan cavalry was 200 meters away from the Tang army, the Tang army on the opposite side remained indifferent, and a smile appeared on the faces of the Tibetan vice prime minister and Xi Duoyu. At this moment, the victory already belonged to them. Even if the Tang army's archers pressed forward, they could not save the situation, because the Tibetan cavalry was only 100 meters away from the Tang army. Just when Xi Duoyu and Dayan Mangbuzhi thought they had won, a burst of roars came from the Tang army's position, waking them up from their beautiful dreams. Xi Duoyu saw a scene that he would never forget in his life. A white mist rose from the Tang army's position, and the charging cavalry fell down with a roar. For cavalry, a hundred meters is nothing but a ruler. They can rush to the enemy in the blink of an eye. But this hundred meters has become a ditch that they can never cross. Xiduoyu and Dayan Mangbuzhi were stunned. When did the Tang army get this new weapon, and they didn't know it at all. No! This important information must be passed back, otherwise, Tubo will definitely be defeated by the Tang army, and the Tang army will even take the opportunity to attack Qisu, and Tubo is likely to be destroyed. "Pass the order! The whole army retreat!" Dayan Mangbuzhi was frightened by his own thoughts! He hurriedly ordered a withdrawal. Dafeichuan could not be taken down no matter what. If the Tang army launched an attack, they would not be able to stop it. They had to retreat to avoid the sharp edge and preserve their strength. After receiving the order, the trumpeter blew the trumpet in his hand. The Tubo army heard the retreat horn and hurriedly retreated, evacuating faster than when they came. "General! The Tubo army is retreating!" A messenger came running and saluted on horseback. "Want to run? No way!" Wang Fangyi, who was sitting at the door of the central army tent, stood up and said, "Pass the order down, the whole army will attack!" "Yes!" The messenger took the order and left. "General! It's not appropriate for us to attack rashly like this. Be careful of fraud!" said the general Wang Lin. "Don't worry! I know what's going on. Even if they are cheating, it doesn't matter. I have prepared a great gift for our 'guests' that will be unforgettable for them for the rest of their lives." Wang Fangyi said. "Are you ready?"
"Don't worry, General! We have already prepared everything! We guarantee that they will never come back." said General Deng Chao, his eyes flashing with excitement.
