Chapter 1510 Opportunity
The news that Qinling was leading troops to take the initiative spread quickly in Luoshe City. The officials and people of Luoshe City were shocked when they heard this.
The Daxiangzheng led his troops to attack Shannan. Now they still rely on the army to guard the city of Luoshen. How can they take the initiative to attack?
What should I do if there are cities in Lu? Who will guard the cities in Lu?
Besides, Songtsen Gampo is so wise and powerful that he was defeated by leading a 100,000 army. Can Qinling be defeated so young?
This is not an unfair worry. Although Songtsen Gampo suffered a defeat or even died tragically, both the people and officials of Tubo understood that Songtsen Gampo was very powerful.
As for Qinling, I am afraid it is far inferior to Songzan Gampo. Only his father Lu Dongzan can compete with Songzan Gampo.
So a group of officials came forward to dissuade him, but how could Qin Ling, who was determined to take the initiative to fight, say them?
Not only did Qinling not listen to them, but instead made up his mind to take the initiative to fight.
Why do they advise him not to take the initiative to fight? Don’t they think he can’t win?
The more others question him, the more he wants to prove himself.
Nowadays, the highest-ranking person in these cities is Qinling, so once he makes a decision, no one can stop him.
Who will bear the consequences of the Tang army being allowed to loot and kill everywhere?
With just this sentence, no official in Luoshecheng dared to respond.
The gates of Luoshe City opened and the army left the city in a mighty manner.
Qinling left only two thousand soldiers to defend the city, and after strictly ordering the city gate to close, he led his army to leave Luoshecheng to find the main force of the Tang army to fight.
The Tang army's march speed after entering the plateau was not very fast, because the soldiers needed to slowly adapt to the plateau environment.
The plateau is very cold, and it is difficult to breathe because of the high altitude. Fortunately, the soldiers who went to the expedition are fighting outside all year round, so they are healthy and can avoid any problems. In addition, the army was ready to keep the cold before going to the expedition, so the army entered the plateau very smoothly.
"Lu Dongzan is really not simple. Three battles and three victories have already forced Shannan into a desperate situation. It will take not long to defeat Shannan's coalition forces and welcome the little prince back." Li Ji was quite moved. Thanks to His Majesty's arbitrary order to send troops, if he landed for a few more days, the battle would not be so great after Lu Dongzan's army returned to the army. Now this opportunity can be said to be just right.
Cheng Yaojin grinned and said, "Let's go straight to Luosie City, conquer Luosie City in one fell swoop, and directly capture Lu Dongzan's old nest, giving Lu Dongzan a surprise!"
Yuchi Gong also laughed and said, "Yes, I just copied Lu Dongzan's nest. Lu Dongzan was about to welcome the little prince back, but suddenly I found that his nest was being taken away. I guess he was so angry that he vomited blood, right? Don't be so angry that he was so angry that he was irritated all of a sudden, that wouldn't it be fun."
Su Cheng smiled and said, "According to the soldiers who just returned, a tribe saw a cavalry and rushed back to Luoshecheng. It should be that Lu Dongzan already knew about us, so he sent troops back to help Luoshecheng."
After hearing this, Yuchi Gong couldn't help but snorted: "The news about Lu Dongzan is really well-versed."
Cheng Yaojin heard this and said disdainfully: "It's not because they are so powerful that they are just a little bigger than the Tubo area, and how far is it from Luoshecheng to Shannan."
After hearing this, Yuchi Gong nodded and said, "That's true."
Li Ji pondered: "Tubo has lost 100,000 elite cavalry, and now it is divided again. It is estimated that the soldiers and horses in Lu Dongzan's hands, as well as the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, will be 100,000."
"So, although Lu Dongzan sent troops back to the rescue, the troops in the city would not exceed 50,000, and they might not be elite. Lu Dongzan did not return to the army as soon as possible. Obviously, he did not want to give up his current results and wanted to capture the little prince in one fell swoop."
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Lu Dongzan is indeed a good plan. He obviously thinks that Luoshecheng can hold on, at least he can hold on until he captures the little prince and returns to the army. Then he will attack us in one fell swoop."
Li Ji nodded and said, "I have to say that Lu Dongzan is very courageous. His idea is good, so the key is to be able to do so!"
Li Ji, Su Cheng and others saw Lu Dongzan's plan very clearly.
Cheng Yaojin smiled and said, "Isn't it just a mere city of Luos? Unfortunately, we have few cannons, only twenty light cannons, otherwise we can capture Luoshe in one day! Even if we only have twenty light cannons, we will definitely capture Luoshe in three days!"
Li Ji and the others couldn't help laughing when they heard this. They still had this confidence.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "We are not far from Lushe City. The soldiers have adapted to the plateau environment and can speed up. It takes only two days to get under Lushe City."
Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong couldn't help but grinned. This was really good news. You can get to the city of Lusue in two days.
After marching all the way for so long, there was no decent battle. The tribes were all the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, except for women and children, and there was no meaning at all.
Now they can only hope that the defenders of some cities can fight a little, and do not even have the courage to fight.
After resting for a night, the army immediately accelerated its march towards Luoshecheng.
Shortly after the army set out, scouts rushed over.
"Report! Report to the commander, the traces of the Tubo cavalry were found in front of him!"
Li Ji couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the scout's report: "There are traces of Tubo cavalry here? Did the defenders of Luoshe City actually take the initiative to attack?"
There is no second possibility other than that, because Lu Dongzan could not bring the army back here.
Surprise is surprising, but more surprises are still more surprises.
Cheng Yaojin immediately grinned: "The defenders of Luosie City actually took the initiative to attack? Hahaha, isn't the one guarding Luosie City Qinling, the son of Lu Dongzan? This kid is really good, I admire it very much. If you encounter a shot, you will definitely poke him a transparent hole, so give him some pleasure!"
Suddenly, when they encountered the Tubo cavalry, the generals were all excited. After all, compared to siege, they still wanted to fight in the wilderness more vigorously.
And they also knew that the defenders of Luoshe City would be a good opportunity to take the initiative. If they took the opportunity to defeat the defenders of Luoshe City, it would be easier to attack the defenders of Luoshe City.
Su Cheng said in surprise: "The defenders of Luoshecheng actually took the initiative to attack. Qinling is really a newborn calf and not afraid of tigers! This is a good opportunity. Why don't I take the Shenji Camp to take the opportunity to attack Luoshecheng? What do you think?"
The soldiers and horses in Luoshe City took the initiative to attack, which must have been Lu Dongzan's idea, but Qin Ling's private decision. Wouldn't it be a pity if the opportunity to come to the door was missed?
Chapter completed!
