Tang Dynasty, I can lead troops through ancient and modern times

The soldiers had to lead their horses carefully and trudged forward with difficulty.

You need to be extra careful with every step, as you may fall and get injured if you are not careful.

The heavy equipment made their march extremely difficult. The armor on their bodies seemed to become heavier and heavier, making it difficult for the soldiers to breathe.

The strong ultraviolet rays shone directly on the soldiers' faces and bodies without any shielding. Before long, many people's skin was sunburned, becoming red, swollen and painful.

My lips also became chapped from dryness and dehydration, and every time I spoke or swallowed, it caused a stinging pain.

Although the soldiers covered their faces with cloth strips, it had little effect in this harsh environment.

As the army advanced deeper, the weather became unpredictable.

Sometimes the sky is clear and the sun is so hot that it feels like being in a furnace;

Sometimes there would be strong winds, with howling winds blowing up sand and dust, covering the sky and the earth, making it impossible to open your eyes.

Not only that, but they also encountered harassment and attacks from small-scale Tibetan troops from time to time during the march.

These Tibetan soldiers were familiar with the terrain. They took advantage of the complex topography of the plateau and launched sneak attacks on the Tang army in an elusive manner.

Sometimes they suddenly appeared from the valley, and sometimes they shot arrows from the hillside.

The Tang Dynasty soldiers had to remain vigilant at all times, dealing with the harsh environment while fighting the enemy.

In an encounter, the Tibetan army took advantage of the Tang army passing through a narrow valley and suddenly rushed down from the hillsides on both sides.

The shouts and cries of killing instantly broke the silence of the valley, and a rain of arrows shot towards the Tang army like locusts.

Li Chengqian quickly commanded the soldiers to counterattack. The shield bearers quickly raised their shields and formed a defensive formation to block the enemy's arrows.

The archers, under the cover of their shields, looked for opportunities to shoot at the enemy.

The battle was extremely fierce, with both sides fighting back and forth and neither side giving in.

Relying on their tenacious fighting will and well-trained combat skills, the Tang soldiers gradually gained the upper hand and repelled the Tubo army.

However, many soldiers were injured in this battle, which added more difficulties to the march.

Despite facing so many difficulties and challenges, the morale of the Tang army remained high.

Li Chengqian set an example by enduring the harsh environment of the plateau with the soldiers and constantly encouraging everyone.

The generals also led the soldiers to overcome one difficulty after another.

During the difficult march, the soldiers supported and helped each other.

If a wounded soldier can no longer walk, other soldiers will take the initiative to help carry his equipment and support him as he moves forward.

In this way, after experiencing countless hardships and life-and-death tests, the Tang army finally approached Lhasa step by step.

After a month of difficult journey.

The city of Lhasa, a city full of mystery and challenges, is now right in front of everyone.

The tall city walls appear majestic and solemn under the sunlight, and the flags flying on the walls seem to be telling of the city’s former glory and pride.

However, at this moment, the generals of the Tang army had no time to appreciate the magnificence of the city. They were nervously discussing how to attack Lhasa City.

Li Chengqian frowned, staring at the city of Lhasa, thinking about various possible attack plans in his mind.

Sometimes he exchanged a few words with Li Jing, and sometimes he listened to the opinions of Hou Junji and others, his expression focused and solemn.

Just as everyone was discussing heatedly, something unexpected happened.

Suddenly there was a loud noise in the city, and then the city gates opened wide, and a group of soldiers rushed out of the city in panic like a tide.

They looked panicked and their faces were distorted, as if some terrible demon was chasing them.

These chaotic soldiers were in complete disorder, pushing and crowding each other.

Some soldiers even dropped their weapons and just ran desperately, as if they could save their lives as long as they could escape from the city.

The sound of their footsteps and shouts intertwined together, breaking the original tranquility on the battlefield and making the entire scene chaotic.

Some soldiers fell to the ground while running, and before they could get up they were trampled by the people rushing up from behind, letting out miserable cries.

Others were so frightened that they ran around blindly, bumping into their companions and causing more chaos and panic.

When Wang Xuance saw this scene, the first thing he thought of was: "Civil strife!"

There was a flash of excitement in his eyes, but then he fell into deep thought again.

He knew very well that this was an excellent opportunity, but it might also hide unknown risks.

Li Jing looked at the chaotic scene, thought for a moment and suggested: "We might as well wait and see what happens and enjoy the fruits of our labor.

The appearance of these disorderly soldiers shows that the situation in the city is out of control. If we attack rashly, we may fall into unnecessary chaos and danger.

It is better to let them mess up their positions first, and when the situation becomes clearer, we can take advantage of the opportunity to attack. This will reduce our casualties and also enable us to capture the city more effectively."

After listening to Li Jing's suggestion, Li Chengqian nodded in approval.

He ordered the army to remain vigilant, closely observe the movements in the city, and be ready to respond to any possible situation at any time.

The soldiers of the Tang army looked quietly at the panicked soldiers, their hearts full of anticipation for victory while remaining highly alert.

The atmosphere on the battlefield became extremely tense, as if time had frozen at this moment.

Everyone was waiting to see how this sudden civil strife would evolve and how the Tang army would seize this opportunity to capture the city of Lhasa in one fell swoop.

The city of Lhasa, a once prosperous plateau city, is now plunged into unprecedented turmoil.

Faced with the situation of the Tang army approaching the city, the major forces in the city fell into serious divisions and chaos.

Some forces advocated surrendering to the Tang Dynasty. They believed that the Tang Dynasty was already unstoppable and continued resistance would only bring more killing and destruction.

These surrenderists secretly discussed in the city how to contact the Tang Dynasty in order to obtain relatively better surrender conditions.

Some of them even began to secretly pack up their belongings, preparing to offer the city to the Tang Dynasty at the right time in exchange for their own wealth and the safety of their families.

Another group of forces was determined to continue resisting, with pride in their Tibetan traditions and blind confidence in their own strength.

They gathered in a huge tent in the center of the city, arguing fiercely about how to deal with the situation.

"How can we bow to the Tang Dynasty so easily?

Where is the dignity of our Tibetan warriors?

We must fight to the end and let the people of the Tang Dynasty know how powerful we are!"

A burly, bearded general shouted loudly, his eyes burning with anger and unwillingness.
