Chapter 329 Battle Report
In the Seven Star Canyon, the moon emits white light and spreads across the earth. The continuous barracks are shrouded in it, looking gray and white.
In the handsome tent, Hou Junji stood in front of the map and thought about something carefully, muttering to himself from time to time.
In the end, he shook his head one by one and rejected it. It was obvious that Hou Junji was planning something, but unfortunately the effect was not very good.
Turning his head, he could see his deep sadness lingering between his eyebrows, and he was obviously a little restless.
Hou Junji swept his eagle-like eyes over the generals and sighed helplessly.
It is better to be self-reliant than to ask for others. It is obviously impossible to rely on these people.
It's really worrying!
In just a few days, Hou Junji's temples were already covered with white spots.
The army was blocked by the Tubo army and was blocked near the Seven Star Canyon for several days.
I originally thought that this group of Tubo barbarians could be eliminated by just turning around, but unfortunately things went against my wishes.
Not only was the army unable to take a step forward, but after several battles, the Tang army was at a disadvantage.
Even the three thousand cavalry led by Zhi Shisili were killed or injured, forcing Hou Junji to re-form a combat plan.
More importantly, the reason why we did not send troops to support Gansongling last time was that we believed that the Tubo army was vulnerable.
As long as the main force of the Tang army arrived, he would definitely eliminate the Tubo army. Obviously, he misjudged the situation.
Judging from the scout's information, the army that blocked them in the Seven Star Canyon was just a miscellaneous Tubo army.
The 80,000 main force in Tubo was obviously attacking Songzhou, which made Hou Junji very anxious.
The combat power of the Miscellaneous Army is so strong, then the main force of Tubo is not...
After shook his head, Hou Junji was a little afraid to think about it. The current situation seemed a bit tricky.
Once Songzhou City is captured, the Tubo army will surely advance straight into Yizhou.
At that time, the central army will be attacked by the Tubo army on both sides.
Once the battle situation develops to that extent, not to mention being able to eliminate the Tubo army with all their might, the Tang army will be considered a burning incense without being defeated.
I think that Hou Junji has experienced many battles, but he has never been so embarrassed.
If this expedition to Tubo cannot win, wouldn’t it become a stain on his life? What should we do?
Thinking of this, Hou Junji glared at Changsun fiercely.
Humph, it’s all my fault for being wise in my life!
If this guy hadn't suggested that there would be no reinforcements for Songzhou, he would have divided his troops to support him.
It is too late to divide the troops and support it now, unless the soldiers can grow wings and fly over.
Hou Junji stood in front of the commander's position with his hands behind his back and asked anxiously: "Now the two armies cannot stand, Songzhou is in danger. What good plans do you generals have to break the situation? Should I divide my troops to support Songzhou?"
All the generals could only be relatively speechless.
In their opinion, they should have divided their troops to support them long ago.
Once Songzhou City was captured, the Tang army lost the natural barrier to resist Tubo.
But I didn't go to support me long ago. Now the army is blocked by the Tubo army. Can I still grow wings and fly over?
Of course, you can also take a detour to support Songzhou, but in this way, the time will take will be long. When reinforcements arrive, the daylily may be cold.
Of course, this cannot be said in front of Hou Junji.
After all, they also knew that the refusal to divide the troops to support Songzhou actually meant that Hou Junji was the one who refused to divide his troops to support Songzhou.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the handsome tent was a bit strange.
As Li Chengqian's representative, Changsun Chong did not have so many concerns.
In his opinion, that guy Yang Fan is dead.
Moreover, it is actually useless to support Songzhou or not. In his opinion, Songzhou City is not necessarily now falling.
So he stood up and bowed and said, "Master General, according to the latest information, the main force of Tubo attacking Songzhou City is obviously too late to take a detour to rescue Songzhou. It is better to concentrate our efforts to repel the blocked Tubo army, and then use our powerful army of Tang Dynasty to retake Songzhou City again?"
Gu Yi
"I'm sorry for you!" Looking at Changsun Chong who was proud of his youth, Hou Junji cursed inwardly.
It turns out that the word "official" is really good, these literati's verbal skills are just enough.
The reason why he did not send troops to support him was because the young man said that the main force of Tubo did not go to attack Songzhou.
Now the young man said that Tubo’s main force attacked Songzhou City, and even if it was rescued, it would be too late.
It is worthy of being the seed of Changsun Wuji, an old Yin man. It is indeed poisonous and tainted.
Could this guy just be incompatible with Yang Fan's stick?
Or maybe this guy has any activities with Tubo and deliberately let the Tubo army break through Songzhou City?
But as the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty, Changsun Chong's father was the leader of civil officials, and his aunt was the queen of the current dynasty...
How could it be impossible to use such a stupid move?
The more Hou Junji thought about it, the more something was wrong.
But soon I felt that this idea was a bit unrealistic and even ridiculous.
At this moment, a marching secretary hurried into the account and reported: "Master General Yang Fan, the vanguard general Yang Fan sent an emergency battle report."
The atmosphere in the commander's tent suddenly subsided. The generals looked at each other, their faces darkened, and they were secretly disturbed: Could it be that Songzhou City was captured?
Everyone knew that Yang Fan had come to ask for help, but Hou Junji refused to divide his troops to support him.
However, most of the generals in the account are Hou Junji's confidants, so naturally no one will question Hou Junji's decision.
But once Songzhou City falls, it will be related to the outcome of the entire battle situation, so why don’t they bother them!
Only Changsun Chong felt a little happy. In his opinion, this was a war report to break the city and ask for help.
Hou Junji was also a little nervous at this time. He took the battle report from the marching secretary. Yu Guang glanced at Changsun, his face was still calm, but his unhappy eyes showed his inner dissatisfaction...
Although Hou Junji also wanted Yang Fan to make a fool of himself, he did not want Songzhou City to be destroyed.
Because the conflict with Yang Fan belongs to factions and is a grudge of political views.
However, Songzhou City involves the interests of the empire, Hou Junji is still very clear about which one is more important.
Seeing Changsun Chong's eyes a little joyful, Hou Junji felt that this matter was a bit strange.
Could it be that Changsun Chong really dared to have any connection with Tubo? This is a big conspiracy in the world.
If you sell off your country and collude with enemies, even if you kill the nine clans, it will be difficult to calm Your Majesty Li Er's anger.
Opening the battle report, Hou Junji read the ten lines at once, and his eyes widened and his face was in disbelief.
I rubbed my eyes hard, but the content of the battle report was the same:
More than 70,000 Tubo army were killed, nearly 10,000 people fled, and Tubo Zamp Songtsen Gampo alive...
What's even more nonsense is that the defense only killed more than 100 people in battle, and mainly the soldiers of the Zuoying guards guarding Gansongling.
How is this possible?
It's fun!
Just relying on three thousand soldiers from the Left Camp and more than five hundred new recruits?
Isn't this a funny guy?
Hou Junji's first reaction was not a surprise, but instead believed that Yang Fan lied about military merits and deliberately exaggerated his words.
However, since this guy dared to send a war report, it means that Songzhou City was not broken at this time, which made Hou Junji breathe a little.
But Songtsen Gampo was alive, what's going on?
As Zamp of Tubo, Songtsen Gampo cannot be faked, right?
A series of questions made Hou Junji's mind a little short of it.
In his mind, it would be good that Yang Fan could use thousands of soldiers to defend Songzhou.
Chapter completed!
