The sky is getting darker and darker, the arrows are gradually losing their accuracy, and they can no longer effectively harm the Tubo people.
Yak and dromedary camels are difficult to attack effectively because of their heavy cargo.
Li Hong had to admire the Tibetan people's strength, and he didn't know how they conveyed the order. As the sky darkened, the canyon was already dark.
These Tubo people actually began to take out food from their arms, sat on the ground and began to eat slowly.
"This is probably the most powerful army of Tibet. If the Tibetan army were so powerful, they would have come down from the plateau and destroyed our Tang Dynasty." Li Hong seemed to be talking to himself, or more like Stabilize military morale.
Even though he, the coach, was impatient, he could not guarantee that the soldiers lying in the gravel or deep grass would not be discouraged.
"Order Quan Yi to go to the entrance of the valley in front of you openly, and spend the night there tonight! After arriving at the entrance of the valley, you can live and cook, there is no need to hide." Li Hong turned over and took a drink of water.
Li Hong took the risk. Since you are not afraid, I am not afraid of being exposed. If it is late at night, if it is not possible, just have an encounter. Whoever is afraid is the grandson.
The sound of the arrow pierced the night sky, like the cry of a mountain eagle during the day. As the sound of the arrow disappeared into the sky, Quan Yi, who was ambushed on the mountain range, roared loudly, which immediately brought waves of echoes.
A series of noisy movements sounded in the mountains, and a team of two thousand cavalrymen rode on horseback.
As the first torch was lit, the torches were lit one after another, and they casually gave up on the Tubo people on the mountain road and began to move forward on their own.
The telescope was useless at this time, and the moonlight seemed to be against Li Hong today, secretly hiding behind the clouds and saying nothing.
"Prime Minister, they are moving." A Tibetan man looked at the moving torches on the hill and walked between the two camels and said.
Between the two camels, an old man suddenly sat out of thin air. This man was Lu Dongzan, the Prime Minister of Tubo.
The camels on both sides were tied with leather straps, and a soft fur mattress was placed on the suspended wooden board in the middle of the camels, and Lu Dongzan was sitting on it.
No wonder Li Hong observed it for a long time, but because of the angle problem, he never found it.
"They are going to block the road at the entrance of the valley in front, and they are going to keep chasing us." Lu Dongzan's old eyes slowly opened, and his still bright eyes were like starlight.
Songtsen Gampo was a short-lived ghost. Although he was a wise and powerful king of Tubo, he died young at the age of thirty-four just a few years after marrying Princess Wencheng.
But even so, Songtsen Gampo was still worshiped as a god by people in Tubo.
As for Ludongzan, after the death of Songtsen Gampo, he faintly became another god in Tubo.
The current king of Tubo, Songtsen Gampo's grandson Mangsong Mangtsen, is worshiped as a god, but compared with the Prime Minister Ludongtsen, it is like the starlight and the bright moon.
"Then what should we do? Hundreds of warriors have died, and these are our best warriors in Tubo." Chisang Yangton asked with dissatisfaction and frustration.
Everyone here regards Lu Dongzan as a god, so because Lu Dongzan is in charge, these people can face death without fear.
Chisang Yangdun also respected Ludongzan very much, but seeing the warriors of his country being killed without resistance, he naturally felt a rage in his heart that had nowhere to vent.
Lu Dongzan slowly closed his eyes, shook his head and said: "The Tang cavalry has changed its commander. This time it is definitely not the previous commander. This commander is very smart. He saw through my plan."
"Then... Prime Minister, do we really have to spend time here? When the sun rises tomorrow, they will shoot us." Chisang Yangdun wished that Lu Dongzan could order him to lead people to rush over and confront Datang. Cavalry showdown.
As a Tibetan warrior, he should have died on the battlefield instead of standing there and being shot as a stake.
"The front is the valley entrance, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, it was occupied by the Tang Dynasty cavalry several days in advance. If we attack it, no matter how many people die, these goods will be snatched away by them, right?" Lu Dong Zan opened his bright eyes and asked Chisang Yangdun.
"Yes, Prime Minister, we will probably be wiped out by the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty, but we are prouder than dying without a fight." Chisang Yang said angrily.
"Here are the bravest warriors in Tubo. I feel more sorry for each of them's death than you do. Zanpu (the monarch) will also feel sorry for our warriors more than we do." Ludong sighed in praise.
After thinking for a long time, he was sure that the people who led the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty to stop him here this time were probably Liu Rengui and others of the Tang Dynasty. It was definitely not Xue Rengui or the black-toothed Changzhi.
Pei Xingjian was an experienced soldier, but he never took risks, and it couldn't be him.
This time, the Tang cavalry wanted to shoot them, and then take advantage of their confusion to kill them again. His plan was discovered by him.
But he didn't expect that the commander-in-chief of the other side would react so quickly and even treat the other person in his own way.
He put down his baggage so quickly, changed his strategy, and marched toward the valley entrance in a swaggering manner. Not only did he reverse the deadlock, but he also used his swaggering actions to stabilize the morale of the army.
After all, lying there motionless and achieving nothing will have a much more serious impact on the morale of the military than on your own side.
Moreover, because he is in charge here, the morale of the army will naturally not be low. Instead, it will only cause his warriors to hate the Tang cavalry even more because someone is shot dead.
In this way, if the Tang cavalry attacks their camel caravan after dark, they will naturally arouse the anger of these warriors, their fighting strength and morale will be much stronger than theirs, and the balance of victory will also be towards themselves. This way.
But in the end, he didn't expect that the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty actually avoided his own strategies and traps.
Instead, he imitated his own behavior and sat down at the mouth of the valley blatantly and arrogantly, showing off the air of a scoundrel who would stay here and not leave.
"But wait until daybreak..."
Lu Dongzan raised his hand to interrupt Chisang Yangdun's words and murmured: "Is it really the young Protector of the Tang Dynasty in Anxi Protectorate? What is his identity? Why can he sit at such a young age? Come on, where is the Great Protector of the Protectorate who is so important to the Tang Dynasty?"
"What else could it be? It must be the royal family and nobles. Officials of the Tang Dynasty are like this. With my honor, I can achieve great official status without any effort or killing enemies on the battlefield." "Yes." Chisang Yangton said angrily.
Instead of thinking about how to break through the current siege, it is useless to think about who their commander is.
Lu Dongzan looked at the first Tibetan warrior and smiled, and said, "Do you know that there is a saying in the Tang Dynasty, which is that if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never be in danger in a hundred battles?"
"I don't know." Chisang Yangton said decisively.
"It means that if we have a thorough understanding of both the enemy and ourselves, we will never fail no matter how many times we fight." Lu Dongzan explained patiently.
"But now we have lost more than a hundred warriors. They have not lost anything. We have lost."
"We haven't fought yet, how come we lost?" Lu Dongzan said confidently and confidently: "If we knew who the commander-in-chief of the Tang Dynasty was, we wouldn't lose."
"But we don't know, they won't tell me." Chisang Yangden was cute and honest.
"There are many young talents in the Tang Dynasty, but for many years, the Tang Dynasty has sent some veterans who fought on the battlefield. Many of these people were ministers of their previous emperor, such as Cheng Zhijie, Li Ji, Li Jing, Yuchi Jingde, Su Dingfang Wait, now Liu Rengui and Pei Xingjian are their main generals, but among the young talents of the Tang Dynasty, we have only heard of one person..." After Lu Dongzan said this, he suddenly looked at Chi Sang Yang with a mysterious smile. He smiled, not caring about being besieged by the Tang Dynasty at all.
"Who is it? Prime Minister, do you know which one of them is smart?" Chisang Yangden asked with his eyes widened as if listening to a story.
At this time, he was attracted by Lu Dongzan's words, and he suddenly forgot that he and others were trapped by the Tang cavalry.
"Zanmeng (Zanpu's woman, similar to a queen) once said that His Royal Highness Li Hong, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, can be regarded as the leader among the young talents of the Tang Dynasty. He has been very smart since he was a child and created many things, just like us The great Zamp was as clever as we were in inventing words.”
"Hmph, they can't compare with our gods." Chisang Yang was unconvinced, but his words were still a bit false. After all, he had seen the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty with his own eyes.
Chang'an City and Taiyi City were simply given to the Tang Dynasty by God. They were so beautiful.
"No, the people of the Tang Dynasty are very smart, otherwise wouldn't our Zanmeng be smart? She has brought us a lot of benefits, otherwise we would not be so powerful." Lu Dongzan objected to Chisang Yangdun's words.
"But will the Tang Dynasty take the risk of letting their Crown Prince come here? The emperor of the Tang Dynasty is not afraid that their Crown Prince will be in danger here?"
Lu Dongzan really couldn't imagine when the Tang Dynasty would have the courage to send the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty to the Western Regions for training.
Thinking of this, he shook his head again. The people of the Tang Dynasty valued the spirit of a gentleman, not to mention His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty. If it were His Highness the Crown Prince, he would probably have to fight with him with real swords and guns.
He would not put on such a rogue and shameless show, just like a dog-skin plaster, wasting his time here.
Moreover, will His Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty become a thief? Will he put aside his noble status and rob the goods of various countries like a shameless thief
Lu Dongzan had no idea for a moment. The mountain wind blew by, and his gray beard brushed messily across his old cheeks. But the deep doubts, like the wrinkles on his face, could not be solved no matter what.
