Chapter 488 Tubo wins

A few days later, Tuyuhun's reinforcements arrived at the battlefield. Gao Kan and others entered the royal city, and King Tuyuhun personally welcomed them.

"Generals, I have already set up a banquet in the palace to welcome you. Please follow me to the banquet." King Tuyuhun said.

"We appreciate your kindness, but we are ordered by His Majesty to help you repel Tubo. Now Tubo has not retreated, and we really do not receive any reward without any merit." Gao Kan said. "

General Gao, you have come thousands of miles to help Tuyuhun. I will do my best to show my courtesy as a host. After having enough food and wine, I will recuperate and fight Tubo again." King Tuyuhun said.

"No! Our army has just arrived and still has the strength to fight. I decided to send troops to attack the Tubo army immediately and catch them off guard. No matter how powerful Qinling is, he would never have thought that I would lead a large army to attack the Tubo army as soon as I arrived." Gao Kan said. "

Since the general is determined to do so, I will not persuade him any more. Can you tell me what you are going to do?" King Tuyuhun asked.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty! This is a military secret of our army. I'm sorry I can't tell you." Gao Kan said.

"I understand! The general is worried that there are ears on the other side of the wall!" King Tuyuhun laughed. He was not angry at all that Gao Kan did not tell him the secret of the action.

Gao Kan and others divided their troops into three groups and attacked the Tubo army.

"Report to the Prime Minister, the Tang army is heading towards our army." The scouts of the Tubo army camp came to report to Lun Qinling from which direction the three Tang armies were coming.

"Everyone, the Tang army has arrived. Are you ready?" Lun Qinling waved his hand to let the scouts retreat and asked.

Everyone was eager to fight and their eyes were shining. Naturally, since Lun Qinling took over the power of Tubo, he had never lost a battle and defeated Tuyuhun.

But they were still a little afraid of the Tang army. The Tang army was strong in combat and they had never gained any advantage in a head-on battle.

If it weren't for their great prime minister Lun Qinling's ability to plan and win a battle thousands of miles away, they might not even be able to touch the edge of Tuyuhun now.

Especially the fire-breathing sticks held by the Tang army, they have all suffered losses from them, especially in the hands of a Tang general named Heizhi Changzhi. Even their great prime minister Lun Qinling has suffered losses in the hands of this Tang army general named Heizhi Changzhi, let alone them!

Fortunately, their great prime minister has come up with a way to trap Heizhi Changzhi in Heyuan.

"Please give the order, great prime minister, we will never give up!" said a Tubo general.

"Kelasi, you lead an army to intercept the Tang army on the left. No matter what method you use, you must stop the Tang army for half a day 600 miles from our camp." Lun Qinling pointed to the map and gave orders.

"I obey your orders!" Kelasi saluted.

"Dagu Riqi, you lead an army from the left to attack the enemy's middle road, Feipoer leads an army from the right to attack the enemy's rear road; Mengbudas leads the troops to lead the Tang army in the middle road to here, and the three of you will surround and ambush the Tang army." Lun Qinling said.

"I obey your orders!" Xiduoyu, Feipoer, and Mengbudas saluted.

"Zheng Zangzang, Hadas, you two lead an army here, let go of the main force of the Tang army on the right, and ambush the logistics of the Tang army on the right." Lun Qinling pointed to a place on the map and said.

"I obey your orders!" Zanpo and Hadas saluted.

"Everyone, set out immediately and act according to the plan!" Lun Qinling said.

"Yes, sir!" Everyone saluted and retreated, and Zanpo and others led their troops to fight.

Kelasi led an army 600 miles away from the Tubo camp to stop the Tang army on the left led by Qilihebi.

Qilihebi set up a formation, with the shieldmen in front for defense, and the musketeers extended the muzzles of their guns through the gaps in the shields and aimed at the Tubo army in front.

Once the Tubo army approached, he ordered the musketeers to shoot. In order to be able to quickly strike the enemy, the musketeers implemented a three-stage shooting tactic.

At the same time, Qilihebi ordered the cavalry to go around the enemy's back and attack from the front and back.

Kelas knew the power of firearms, so he did not dare to rush forward and stop to deploy outside the effective range of the enemy's firearms, not to mention that his mission this time was to block the advance of the Tang army.

"Report! Enemy cavalry were spotted on the left side of our army." A scout came running to report.

"It seems that the Tang army is planning to encircle us, so they sent cavalry to go around the left side of our army and prepare for an attack." Kelas said, he had thought of this a long time ago.

That's why he sent out scouts on both sides. Unfortunately, his guess came true. The Tang army really sent out cavalry to attack him from a roundabout way.

"So what should we do now? Once the Tang army cavalry attacks our army, we will not be able to stop the Tang army's pace at all." Kelasi's deputy general said. "

Even if you die today, you must stop the Tang army's advance. You immediately lead your cavalry to stop the Tang army's cavalry." Kelasi ordered.

"Yes!" The deputy general took the order and led the cavalry to kill the Tang army's cavalry.

"Shudun, even if you die today, you must stop the Tang army for me. Anyone who dares to take a step back will be killed!" Kelasi roared.

The infantry in front immediately raised special shields to form a protective wall. These special shields were designed to defend against the enemy's muskets.

From the left came the sound of horses neighing and people roaring. The Tang cavalry and the Tubo cavalry were fighting.

"General, should we attack immediately?" the deputy general asked Qili Hebi.

"No need. They are here to block our advance. Did you see the shields raised in front of them? They are used to counter our firearms."

"Even if we attack now, it will be meaningless as long as we cannot break through the enemy's defense line. I have asked Qili Heye to lead a cavalry to go around the back of the Tubo army and catch them off guard." Qili Hebi said confidently.

Kelasi had indeed never expected that Qilihebi, a seemingly brave and resolute guy, would actually sneak attack from behind.

Another cavalry of the Tang army, led by Qiliheye, went around to the back of Kelasi's army and launched an attack on them. In

this battle, although Tubo successfully blocked Qilihebi's left army, it also suffered heavy losses, and even Kelasi almost died here.

Xiduoyu and others also ambushed the central army of the Tang army at a designated location and achieved brilliant results. The Tang army was defeated.

Following Lun Qinling's instructions, Zanpo and his entourage avoided the main force

of the Tang army on the right, which was lightly equipped and moving quickly, attacked the slow-moving logistics, and seized a large amount of Tang army supplies. The main force of the Tang army on the right was also attacked by Lun Qinling's troops, and both sides suffered heavy losses.

In the end, the Tubo army won the final victory, and the Tang army retreated to the Tuyuhun royal city to repair and assist the Tuyuhun king in defending the Tuyuhun royal city.

Gao Kan fixed the four gates he brought this time on the city wall for defense.
