I have already established my power and prestige, so how did Li Shimin come back to life?

"Zanpu, I only need 5,000 cavalry warriors to sweep away everything! Those Tang people are definitely no match for me!"

Lun Qinling said confidently.

Tubo had fought against the Tang Dynasty before. Although the casualties were 1:1, Lun Qinling believed that it was because the commander at that time was too incompetent. If he had been in command, the result would definitely not have been like this.

Songtsen Gampo smiled after hearing this, and that smile was full of encouragement for Lun Qinling.

"Lun Qinling, I believe in your ability. You will be the vanguard of my army. I will give you 10,000 light cavalry. You will lead the way."

Lun Qinling was overjoyed and quickly dismounted to thank Songtsen Gampo.

"Thank you, Zamp. I will definitely clear the way for our army."

His voice was filled with excitement and passion.

"Go ahead, don't eat all the meat, let us have some soup too."

Songtsen Gampo said with a smile.

"Understand, Zamp!"

Lun Qinling jumped onto the horse and pulled the reins. The horse neighed, as if it also felt the excitement of its master.

Although Lu Dongzan was a little worried, he couldn't bear to dissuade his son when he saw his son's high-spirited look.

Lu Dongzan is still very confident in his son's martial arts ability.

The title of Tubo's bravest warrior was not just for show. He believed that his son would be able to win the battle.

The border that Tubo invaded this time was still Songzhou (now located in Pansong, Sichuan).

Songzhou is a famous border town with an extremely important strategic position.

From a geographical point of view, it connects Yizhou (Chengdu) in the south, Chang'an (Xi'an) in the north, and Shanzhou in the west (some vassal states established by the Tang Dynasty in Qinghai. At that time, Qinghai was mainly the sphere of influence of Tuyuhun and Tubo).

Songzhou is located on such a major transportation route and is known as the "Gateway to Western Sichuan."

The terrain here is dangerous, surrounded by mountains, which are undulating like natural barriers.

The city is tall and solid, and the walls are extremely thick.

The battle of Songzhou left Songtsen Gampo with an unforgettable memory.

The last time he led an army of 200,000 with countless siege weapons, the scene was earth-shaking.

However, even so, they still failed to capture Songzhou City.

That failure was like a seed, deeply buried in Songtsen Gampo's heart, constantly taking root and sprouting, and completely arousing his ambition.

The one-to-one casualty ratio gave him hope!

He firmly believed that the Tubo soldiers were not necessarily inferior to the Tang soldiers!

Lun Qinling led 10,000 light cavalry and traveled day and night like a gust of wind.

Their speed was astonishing, and the dust raised by their horses' hooves left a long tail behind them.

In just two days, they appeared at the foot of Songzhou City like ghosts.

The person in charge of defending the city was still Han Wei, the governor of Songzhou.

Last time in the Battle of Songzhou, he successfully resisted the attack of the Tubo army with his excellent city defense strategy and tenacious will, and made considerable military achievements.

However, he was not transferred, but was promoted to the first rank and received a double salary reward at the end of the year.

In this seemingly peaceful and prosperous era, it is extremely difficult to gain the credit to change one's name.

Han Wei stood on the city wall of Songzhou City, looking at the Tibetan army approaching the city.

Not only was there no trace of fear on his weather-beaten face, but his eyes revealed an uncontrollable joy.

He had already received the order from His Majesty, and all he had to do was hold the city and wait for the arrival of the army.

Han Wei naturally accepted the order respectfully.

He knew in his heart that if he were to leave the city to fight against these Tibetan troops, he, as the governor of Songzhou, would be no match for these Tibetan cavalry.

After all, almost every Tibetan had a horse, and they were extremely mobile. When fighting in open areas, they had the advantage from the beginning.

However, if he were asked to defend the city, the situation would be completely different.
