Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 475

Fortunately, the Tubo people did not ignore Tang Jun's challenge, and the letter of war sent by Wang Zhe was quickly replied, and the Tubo people agreed to a decisive battle outside Qingtang City in three days.

After getting the reply, Wang Zhe basically bought time for them to raise gunpowder. Three days later, the gunpowder will be able to be transported to Qingtang City.

However, he would not foolishly believe that the Tubo people would just do nothing during these three days. During these three days, he also had to be careful to guard against the sudden attacks of the Tubo people.

After all, compared to an aboveboard decisive battle, a surprise attack is obviously a more cost-effective way of fighting, especially when the opponent's defenses are lax.

So Wang Zhe can't be careless at this time, and be careful when sailing for ten thousand years.

The Tang army is on guard, while the Tubo army is about to turn upside down.

A large part of these Tubo troops are composed of the private soldiers of the major noble lords, and the real regular army is less than half, which can be said to be difficult to command.

At this time, they faced the same trouble as the previous Qingtang defenders, that is, lack of salt.

Originally thought that this problem could be solved after they arrived at the Qingtang, who knew that the Qingtang fell when they arrived, and the Qingtang was gone, so their problem of salt shortage would naturally not be solved.

If you can't eat salt, the morale of the army will be unstable, and some people will definitely rise up and make trouble.

Although the Tubo people have now accepted Tang Jun's war letter, there will still be many Tubo troops secretly wanting to harass Tang Jun.

They don't have salt to eat, but Tang Jun has it, and the Datang Frontier Army never lacks salt.

Although these small groups of them can't defeat the Tang army, they can't snatch salt from the barracks of the Tang frontier army, but they can capture some Tang army soldiers from the battle. As long as they have prisoners, they can use these prisoners to fight Put forward conditions with Tang Jun.

There is nothing wrong with exchanging a Tang army prisoner for a catty of green salt. Even if human life is worthless, half a catty of coarse salt is still worth it.

Now it doesn't matter whether they can switch to green salt or coarse salt, as long as it is edible salt, they are very satisfied.

If they can capture dozens or hundreds of Tang army prisoners, at least they can solve the problem of salt shortage in their own troops, which is more cost-effective than waiting for the salt distributed by the Tubo generals above with their fingers every day.

Wang Zhe and other generals of the Tang army also felt the imminent move of the Tubo people, but at this time they had to hold back and could not take the initiative to attack. At most, they were fighting back when the Tubo people came to harass them.

Although this is aggrieved, they have to endure it.

Wang Zhe chose to believe in Zhang Yi's tactics!
And the people he sent back to collect gunpowder were not slow in their actions. At this time, a lot of gunpowder had already been obtained and were being transported to Qingtang.

However, according to Zhang Yi's method, they have to pray that the weather will be fine in the next two days. If it rains at this time, then they will really fall short.

Fortunately, there is very little rain in the northwest, especially in this season, when there are two rainy days every month, they are already smiling.

Tang Jun still couldn't hold on, even though the Tubo people took turns to scold and fight, they were just guarding in Qingtang City.

After a day of scolding and fighting, the Tibetans got nothing.

But they didn't get the order to attack, and they couldn't launch an attack on Qingtang City, but even if they had the courage to attack Qingtang City at this time, with their few noble private soldiers, they would just go to die.

So now it can only be a stalemate, no one can really provoke a fight.

However, in order to appease the soldiers, the generals of Tubo also came up with some related policies.

Now the biggest worry of the Tubo soldiers is that they can't eat salt. They have other things, but they just don't have salt to eat.

But Tang Jun has a lot of salt there, if they can defeat Tang Jun, then everything will be solved.

And how to arouse the greatest fighting spirit of the Tubo soldiers is a problem that the Tubo generals need to solve.

Each head is exchanged for a certain amount of salt.

With the launch of such a policy, the Tubo soldiers became even more eager to try.

However, when this policy was launched, Tang Jun's gunpowder had already been transported to Qingtang City.

"His daughter belongs to her, and these Tibetans have driven her crazy these days."

Watching the gunpowder being moved into the warehouse one after another, Wang Zhe could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"General Wang, in the middle of the night tonight, let people bury these gunpowder in the places we have designated before. Those places are the places that the Tubo people must pass through when they enter the city."

In order to avoid nights and dreams, Zhang Yi directly asked Wang Zhe and the others to prepare to bury the gunpowder. After all, the war with Tubo was going to start the next day.

Of course, even though the talk was about a decisive battle with Tubo, Wang Zhe already had some calculations in his mind.

In the middle of the night that night, Wang Zhe personally took people to the place they had designated before and began to bury the gunpowder.

After the gunpowder was buried, it was almost dawn, and Wang Zhe directly began to arrange the next day's battle.

More than 6 Tang troops fought against a Tubo army of more than [-]. Although the Tubo army had more people, in terms of overall combat effectiveness, the Tang army did not frighten them at all. Just open.

But Wang Zhe and the others definitely don't want to fight like this with these Tubo people, we have brains and can't use it, right?

Under Wang Zhe's arrangement, the deployment of troops was quickly arranged. The [-] cavalry of the Tang Army were the main force for this battle, and they left the city at dawn to prepare for the battle with Tubo.

And the other [-] infantry Wang Zhe didn't intend to arrange all of them to fight against the Tibetans.

After some layout, only [-] infantry followed the [-] cavalry to meet the challenge of the Tubo army.

The other 3 Tang troops were arranged by Wang Zhe in other places.

On the other hand, the Tubo army arrived at the agreed place early, and nearly [-] troops were scattered outside Qingtang City in a crescent shape.

The [-] Tang Army team seemed a little small when facing the [-] Tubo army, so when the Tang army came over, the Tubo army seemed a little ready to move.

"It's really impatient to live with such a small number of people who dare to challenge us. Watch me chop them all up."

A Tubo general who sent a messenger with a big ax shouted loudly, and most of the soldiers behind him were also burly.

And on the white horse in the front, the Tubo chief turned his face and gave the general a look, and the general wielding the ax immediately didn't dare to speak.

"Intelligence shows that the number of the Tang army is about 7 to 3, but now they only have [-] people on the battlefield, which shows that they still have a hand, so we can't be careless. If they set up an ambush, how can we Didn't he fall into the trap?" the Tubo general said leisurely.

Anyway, now that they have the initiative and advantage, he is not in a hurry to attack Tang Jun immediately.
