When the two sides are fighting, what they are fighting is command and execution.

The number of people has never been the winner in a war.

Whether Li Shimin or Songtsen Gampo, they are both super emperors with outstanding wisdom.

One person single-handedly created the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty.

A young man controls Tubo.

Although in the first confrontation between the two top emperors, Li Shimin won completely.

But now the balance of victory and defeat has changed hands. Songtsan Gumbo could not let such a good opportunity go and let Li Shimin easily run back to Chang'an.

That's why he used this despicable method.

War...has never been mean.

Li Shimin, Xue Rengui, Su Dingfang, Fang Xuanling and others sat on horses and commanded the army to fight with the opponent in an orderly manner.

The musketeers and red-coated cannons continued to bombard each other.

The Tubo people were not afraid of death at all. A group of Tubo soldiers were killed by the explosion, but the others continued to follow, and no one would take a step back.

The guns and cannons were empty, and what was left was real hand-to-hand fighting.

This is the biggest test of the strength of both sides.

On the Tang Army's side, Li Shimin's wild goose-wing formation was arranged neatly. Most of this formation was a defensive formation. When the army advanced, the left and right flanks were more protruding than the central army. If the enemy took advantage of his unsteady footing to launch a surprise attack, the left and right flanks would They will quickly approach and close together at the fastest speed, and the enemy will only face the fate of being surrounded and annihilated.

Not long after, Li Shimin sat on the horse, squinted his eyes, and suddenly started waving.

The drums are on.

The two wings kept pressing the formation. When the rhythm of the drums became more and more intensive, the cavalry on the two wings gradually shrank in towards the central army. Soon the enemy army began to change their formations as they marched. The array that originally looked like two wings spread out was transformed into the sound of the drums. Divided into three parts, the left and right plus the Chinese army marched side by side.

At the same time, Songtsen Gampo's army also began to move.

The enemy's array began to turn into a dozen square formations, with wooden shields at the forefront. Next came the bow and arrow, then the Mo Dao, and finally the ax and spear.

"Beat the drum!"Li Shimin shouted loudly

"Bows and arrows come forward!"Xue Rengui shouted sharply.

Two rows of archers quickly stepped out to string their bows. Through the gaps in the defense shields, dark sharp arrows pointed coldly at the open space under the city wall.

On the vast snow of the other side, the enemy troops Suddenly, a gap opened in the front line, and a man who looked like a military general, naked to the waist and carrying a long-handled scimitar, rode out, circling back and forth in front of the formation, pointing his sword at Li Shimin's Chinese army and roaring. After a few words, more than 20 men were quickly escorted out from the rear. The men were covered with injuries and their hands were tied behind their backs. The enemy soldiers on the left and right pressed their heads hard, but they still struggled and struggled. He shouted curses in his face.

More than 20 people were escorted to the front and back of the formation. They were kicked hard on the knees and fell to their knees in the dust. The general at the head of the enemy's front line yelled a few more words, and then kicked hard with all his strength. With a wave of his hand, the light of the sword flashed, and more than twenty heads fell to the ground one after another. Blood spurted out from the headless necks. After shaking a few times, the more than twenty bodies fell into the dust facing the city wall, their bodies still twitching slightly.

The general laughed loudly, and the enemy soldiers behind raised their swords and let out deafening cheers. Their morale was like a rainbow shining through the sun. In this row, there were Yu Degui from the Pioneer Battalion, and more than twenty brothers from the Pioneer Battalion..

Su Dingfang’s eyes were blood red and he shouted loudly:"What a bastard! I must cut you into pieces now!"

A row of arrows rained down from the sky in the first round.

The opponent quickly took out his shield to block.

Even so, many Tibetan soldiers fell down.

Then the opponent fired arrows and Datang defended.

After a round of confrontation,

Su Dingfang dismounted. He raised his knife and yelled:"Kill him!"

He couldn't help it.

The general had no reason to leave the central army, but he really couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

And the other party was not to be outdone. The army like a tide rushed towards Su Dingfang with swords and axes raised.

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Fight, fight, fight!"

The flames were raging, snowflakes were flying, and corpses were everywhere. It was extremely tragic.

Li Shimin in the rear saw his army falling bit by bit, and his eyes became increasingly red.

"Get out of my way!"

He picked up the war drum and began to beat it himself.

The beating of the war drum made the Tang army's morale become more intense.

Songtsen Gampo and Lun Qinling's foreheads were all covered with sweat.

They now finally understood what it means to fight despite being trapped.

This group of Tang troops was too fierce. , the morale alone is better than that of the Tubo soldiers.

It doesn’t look like they have been hungry for several days.

"Step aside!"Songtsen Gampo also imitated Li Shimin and started beating the war drum himself!

Seeing this, the morale of the Tibetan soldiers suddenly rose.

"kill!"

Less than half an hour after the attack started, all the Tang troops felt the difficulty.

There were too many people on the other side!

Even with sharp weapons such as cannons and muskets, the Tang troops still felt that this battle was very difficult, and the enemy seemed to be completely defeated. He risked his life and fully displayed the arrogant and desperate energy of the people from the Western Regions. Even if he was hit by a knife and couldn't survive, he still insisted on grabbing a Tang soldier before dying and pulling him to die together.

As the battle continued to stalemate, Tang Jun's His physical strength was getting worse and worse, and this could no longer be compensated for by pure morale.

Li Shimin was on the verge of collapse. Seeing batch after batch of Tang troops falling, he slowly began to feel a sense of suffocating despair.

Half an hour later, there were heavy casualties!

Both sides fought against each other. Almost all of them were filled with human lives. Unfortunately, the number of the Tang army was obviously much smaller than that of the Tubo side. I don’t know how many were injured and how many died. In the center of the snow, the corpses of the Tang army’s soldiers were clearly piled up. The death was very tragic.

Li Shimin had tears in his eyes.

Su Dingfang was also injured in the front.

Now the Tang army was in a situation of success or failure.

The Tubo Army

"Zamp, we lost nearly 60,000 yuan!"

Li Shimin, Chinese Army

"Your Majesty, our army's casualties are close to 30,000."

It's still a battle loss ratio of one to two.

At this time, Li Shimin's full strength was only more than 65,000.

Songtsen Gampo still had nearly 200,000.

There are battles in which a small number wins a large number, but the problem is, The physical strength of Li Shimin's Tang army was approaching its limit.

Seeing the soldiers fall one by one,

Li Shimin burst into tears. If this continues, the Tang army would have no hope of victory.

He suddenly shouted:"Charge with me!"

When these words came out,

Xue Rengui and Fang Xuanling exclaimed together:"Your Majesty! No!

Li Shimin said angrily:"Stop talking nonsense!" Even if I die, I can't be a coward!"

"I have a successor in the Tang Dynasty, so I don’t have to worry, haha!"

"Give it to me!"
