Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Before leaving, Lun Qinling looked back at the loud noise coming from behind him, his face full of fear and unwillingness.

Why isn't such a divine object with such great destructive power in the hands of the Tubo people?

Destiny lies in the Tang Dynasty!

Lun Qinling clenched his fists, then rode his horse and followed his father away from the battlefield, and soon returned to the imperial palace.

The father and son were silent for a moment.

Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice: "Lun Qinling, you will immediately lead 6000 elite cavalry to break out of Qunu City to the north city and return directly to our Tibetan imperial capital, Lhasa!"

"Qunu City can no longer be defended. You must return to assist the Zamp and defend our Tibetan territory!"

"The Tang army's combat effectiveness on the plateau is poor. We still have a chance to turn the tide!"

Boom~

His father's words were like a thunderclap that exploded in Lun Qinling's mind.

I didn't expect that my father, who always felt confident of victory, would say such discouraging words at the beginning of the war.

Lun Qinling quickly said, "Father, we just fought with the Tang army. The outcome is still unknown. We can't give up!"

"Besides, the Tang army is short of food and fodder. As long as we fight them for half a month, they will definitely retreat without a fight!"

Hearing what his son said, Lu Dongzan smiled helplessly.

Not to mention holding out for half a month, even with such a fierce offensive by the Tang army, it was questionable whether they could hold out for a day.

They have no chance!

Lu Dongzan shook his head and said, "If the Tang army didn't have any sorcery, we have 200,000 Tibetan warriors in the city, and we might be able to fight against the more than 100,000 Tang troops."

"But there are 8 Indian soldiers in the city right now. They've never been willing to be controlled by us. We're lucky they didn't defect in the middle of a battle."

There was a pause.

Lu Dongzan said solemnly, "Take advantage of the night to create chaos and leave. Once it's bright, you won't even have a chance to leave!"

"Let's go!"

Don’t be fooled by the silence at the north gate; there must be a cavalry of the Tang army lying in ambush there.

However, considering that Qinling had thousands of cavalrymen fighting to the death to protect it, escaping from the siege of the Tang army should not be a big problem.

Lun Qinling asked in a hoarse voice, "Father, what will you do after I leave?"

Lu Dongzan laughed heartily and said, "I have been a soldier all my life and have long seen through life and death. Moreover, I have no regrets in dying in such a vigorous battle against the Tang army!"

Hearing his father's words, Lun Qinling had already shed two lines of tears.

He knelt down and kowtowed several times, then left the palace with red eyes.

After a long time.

"Hey!"

Lu Dongzan sighed heavily, and then personally led 2 elite troops to support the battle in Dongcheng.

Within the Dongcheng area.

With hundreds of rounds of bombs and artillery bombardments, countless wooden houses began to burn, illuminating the streets and alleys in the city.

Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai saw that the Nepalese soldiers had advanced several miles into the city, and they immediately gave orders.

"Army attack!"

More than 100,000 Tang cavalrymen reined in their horses and charged, raising their spears high and shouting.

"kill!"

Under the leadership of a group of marching generals, more than 100,000 Tang cavalry quickly advanced along the streets, and all the enemy troops blocking their way were killed.

In the light of the burning fire.

Xue Rengui saw a Tibetan general riding a horse and rushing towards him, mumbling something incomprehensible.

However, it was not difficult to see from the actions of the Tubo general that he was coming towards him.

"hehe!"

"It's really courting death!"

Xue Rengui sneered twice, then spurred his horse and quickly went forward.

The generals and bodyguards following Xue Rengui also looked at the ignorant Tibetan general with a deadly look.

He really has no vision. Among so many generals, he chose the strongest one.

How could such a general be weak if he dared to ride a white horse, wear silver armor, a white robe, and use weapons like the Fang Tian Hua Ji in a battle?

After ten moves.

The Tibetan general holding a big knife was easily killed by Xue Rengui.

When the Tibetan soldiers saw their commander being killed, they opened their mouths in surprise.

"Great General Mangxian Dazhab is dead?"

"Can't even withstand ten moves?"

No wonder there was a saying in the army that if you met a fierce general of the Tang army wearing silver armor and white robes, you must walk around him.

This martial arts is ridiculously strong!

Xue Rengui's movements did not pause at all. He rushed towards the Tibetan soldiers in front of him like a fierce tiger.

Fang Yiai, Luo Tong, Cheng Wuting and others who followed behind also rushed forward with loud shouts.

Under the charge of the Tang army, the already frightened Tibetan soldiers resisted for a while, and many of them dropped their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

The defeat is inevitable, and continuing to resist will only lead to death.

Anyway, soldiers only get a little salary every day and only a few acres of land, so there is no need to fight the Tang army to the death.

Even if they were used as slaves by the Tang Dynasty after surrendering, they could still survive.

Just as the Tang army in the city was pushing forward towards the city center, a fierce battle broke out in the direction of the north gate.

Under the command of Pei Xingjian, the 2 well-rested Tang cavalry not only seized the north city gate, but also chased and killed thousands of Tibetan cavalry coming out of the city.

In order to escape, these Tibetan cavalrymen did not have a strong will to resist.

After a fierce charge, except for a few hundred cavalrymen who escaped, the rest of the Tibetan cavalry were killed by the Tang army or dismounted and surrendered.

After the battle outside the city ended.

Pei Xingjian raised his lance high and shouted, "Soldiers, follow me into the city and together we will encircle and annihilate the enemy forces within!"

More than ten thousand Tang Dynasty cavalrymen raised their spears and shouted.

"kill!"

The Tibetan and Indian soldiers who were already struggling to hold on in the city were immediately defeated when they faced the enemy attacking from behind.

Countless Tibetan and Indian soldiers retreated towards the imperial palace, and some even dropped their weapons in order to run faster.

Inside the palace hall.

Lu Dongzan, who retreated from the East City Gate, sat on the imperial platform with a frustrated look on his face.

"How did the Tang army's strength increase so much?"

"Why are ordinary soldiers so strong?"

In the 12th year of Zhenguan, he led his troops to defeat Tuyuhun, and took the opportunity to lead a large army to occupy Songzhou of the Tang Dynasty. He fought bloody battles with the Tang general Hou Junji for several days.

Although he lost that battle, he also got a clear idea of ​​the strength of the Tang army.

At that time, he was commanding an army of 12 and fighting against the 5 Tang army. If it were not for the lack of supplies and the soldiers' unfamiliarity with the climate and water in the plains, he might not have lost.

Thinking that the Tang army still possessed sorcery, he sighed.

"Hey!"

"It's not unfair to lose!"

Just then, Zan Xiruo, with a broken arm, stumbled in.

He said weakly, "Father, we can't stop it!"

"You should lead your troops to break through!"

The general Zan Xiruo who usually calls Lu Dongzan "General" is actually Lu Dongzan's eldest son out of wedlock, but the father and son have always addressed each other by their military ranks in the army.

When Lu Dongzan saw that his eldest son had a broken arm and blood was still gushing out, he hurriedly shouted to his guards.

"Bring the witch doctor!"

"quick!"

After receiving the order, the guards ran away quickly.

General Zan Xiruo said in a weak tone, "Father, don't worry. I can handle it."

"I'll just lie down for a while..."

After he finished speaking, he fell backward and fell into a coma.
