Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 473 Zhang Yi's Method

Tang Jun took Qingtang City effortlessly, and the balance of victory tilted to Tang Jun's side in a way that was caught off guard.

Qingtang City was breached, and Tubo no longer had a decent big city near here, at least not one that could accommodate 10 people at the same time.

In the end, the battle of Qingtang ended with the victory of the Tang army.

In this battle, the Tang army lost a total of 720 soldiers and more than [-] were injured. On the Tubo side, more than [-] soldiers were killed in the battle, and the Tubo people in Qingtang City were all killed and injured.

The civil strife had caused most of their deaths and injuries. After the Tang army broke through the Qingtang, those Tubo people had some conflicts with the Tang army, so they were wiped out.

Although it is not considered a massacre of the city, the difference is not too big. Qingtang City, which originally had a population of more than [-], now has less than [-] people.

The sharp drop in population directly turned Qingtang City from a prosperous city in the Tubo Kingdom into a small and unknown city.

However, although Qingtang City has been captured, the war is not over yet, and the battle that should be fought must continue to be fought.

After the Qingtang City was breached, the Tang army would have to face the attack of [-] Tubo troops. This was the real test for them.

Zhang Yi and his party soon followed Wang Zhe and others into Qingtang City.

At night, at the celebration banquet, everyone let go of the celebration.

Except for the soldiers who stayed on duty and were in charge of defense, all the soldiers of the Tang Army celebrated outside Qingtang City.

Even if Qingtang City is captured now, they have no plans to enter Qingtang City, and they still live in the camp that was originally secured.

And at this time, Tubo's reinforcements were still hundreds of miles away, and there was still a long distance from Qingtang, so they celebrated with confidence.

After some celebration, everyone went back to camp to rest.

This celebration is also the last presumptuousness of them before facing the [-] Tubo army. This may be the last celebration banquet for many people.

Late at night, Wang Zhe didn't feel sleepy, and walked alone in the camp.

Walking and walking, for some reason, he actually walked outside Zhang Yi's camp.

And Zhang Yi, who was full from the celebration banquet tonight, just came back from a walk at this time and was about to go to bed. When he saw the burly figure outside the tent, he immediately coughed.

Hearing the coughing sound, Wang Zhe knew that Zhang Yi had seen him, and immediately asked in embarrassment, "Brother Zhang Yi, are you going to sleep?"

Originally, he always called Zhang Yi the uncle of Jingyang County in front of everyone, but now it was just the two of them, so he directly called Zhang Yi Brother Zhang Yi, which made him feel closer.

"I haven't slept yet. What's the matter with General Wang?" Zhang Yi replied through a layer of tents: "If there is something to do, please invite General Wang to talk in the tent."

Zhang Yi knew that Wang Zheda's staying up at night must be worrying about facing the [-] Tubo army.

After the Tang army passed through the Battle of Qingtang, although the losses were very small, they also lost thousands of combat power. At this time, it is indeed a little difficult to face the [-] Tubo army with a team of more than [-] people.

After Wang Zhe heard what Zhang Yi said, he was not polite, and went directly into the tent.

Zhang Yi hadn't fallen asleep yet, and was exercising in the tent at this time. After Wang Zhe came in, there was not much embarrassment, so he found a seat and sat down by himself.

"If General Wang has anything to do with me, just tell me directly."

Zhang Yi didn't want to beat around the bush with Wang Zhe, he wanted to help Wang Zhe win the war as soon as possible and then return to Chang'an as soon as possible.

In Zhangjiazhuang, Jingyang County, there are too many people waiting for him to go back.

Wang Zhe didn't hide anything, so he directly told Zhang Yi what he wanted.

Zhang Yi guessed right, it was because of the upcoming battle that he had no idea, so he was a little bored.

And because Zhang Yi has been in the limelight recently, and Zhang Yi also played a big role in the attack on Qingtang before, so Wang Zhe wanted to come and ask Zhang Yi to see if he could do anything.

Although the generals under him are good at fighting, their talents are limited to fighting. They don't know anything about strategy, let alone sharing Wang Zhe's worries. Thank God if they don't make trouble for Wang Zhe up.

After listening to Wang Zhe's analysis of the current situation, Zhang Yi frowned and thought for a while.

"If I ask the general to give up Qingtang City, does the general have the courage?"

Zhang Yi suddenly raised his head and asked Wang Zhe.

Wang Zhe pondered for a while and said: "It depends on the situation of the battle. If necessary, I will give up Qingtang City."

Winning Qingtang City is a major achievement of the Tang frontier army this time, but it may also become a drag, which is why Zhang Yi asked. If Wang Zhe is willing to give up Qingtang City, there are many tactics that can be used.

"In this case." Zhang Yi smiled, and then took out a small black thing from under his bed: "Master General, don't forget that our Tang army is equipped with this thing."

"Gunpowder bomb!"

Wang Zhe exclaimed, the gunpowder bomb was invented by Zhang Yi, and it played a miraculous effect against the Turks, and it was a great weapon for the Tang army to win.

However, because there is no one teaching them here, and because there are very few people who can use gunpowder now, they are hardly equipped.

"But our frontier army is equipped with too little gunpowder." Wang Zhe said with some embarrassment.

"Too little gunpowder? Then I have to think of a new way." Zhang Yi fell into deep thought again.

Originally, he planned to use gunpowder bombs to catch the Tubo army by surprise during the fight with the Tubo army.

As long as the Tubo people are beaten into confusion, the Tubo people will be easily defeated by the Tang army.

The so-called defeat is like a mountain, as long as the Tubo people are defeated, then this war will end with the victory of the Tang army.

But now there are too few gunpowder ammunition, and if the quantity is too small, it will not be able to have such a great effect, and then it will not be able to achieve the effect Zhang Yi wants.

And at this time, it is too late to rush to make a batch of gunpowder bombs. Tomorrow, the vanguard of the Tubo army should rush to the border of Qingtang.

After pondering for a quarter of an hour, Zhang Yi's eyes gradually became brighter.

Wang Zhe was watching Zhang Yi the whole time, and when Zhang Yi's eyes flashed with light, he knew that Zhang Yi must have something to do.

"Yes!" Zhang Yi whispered.

"Brother Zhang Yi, if you think of a solution, hurry up and tell me."

Hearing Zhang Yi whispered, Wang Zhe couldn't help urging.

"Since there is not enough gunpowder, let's get more gunpowder. As long as there is enough gunpowder and we can use it, we can also make these Tibetans fly into the sky!"
