People are always like this.

When danger and threats do not immediately come to your head, you always have a little luck in your heart.

Just like Chinan, Delhi, as a mature and experienced general, he suddenly discovered that the other party had an arrangement beyond his expectations. He felt something was wrong in his heart, but he still couldn't avoid it. He hoped that he could use his strength to smash all the conspiracies of his opponent.

Of course, sometimes the same is true.

When the strength reaches a certain level, you can indeed ignore any conspiracy.

It's like a strong man, facing an ambush arranged by a group of children, he can only smile at the children's games.

As the saying goes, one force will reduce the hundred ways.

However, there is a prerequisite, that is, you must have the strength far superior to your opponent.

In addition to this lucky situation, Chinan, Delhi is now in a difficult situation. What else can we do if tens of thousands of military soldiers gather here? Will we not fight?

Does he have any choice?

He has no choice.

The only thing that can be confirmed now is that there are only one set of two plans prepared in the past. The original plan for long-term siege can only choose another one when the enemy is unknown: quick battle and quick decision.

As long as the main force of Li Cunzhong in front of him is eliminated, even if the 10,000 cavalry led by Han Rui appears, it will be difficult to change the overall situation.

The war has begun.

It is still the usual pattern of Tubo people's combat.

As cannon fodder, the young and strong civilians, holding simple weapons, launched a crazy attack on the Tang army's lineup. The elite Tubo army followed behind and watched the changes in the war at all times.

The only function of these young and strong men is to consume the arrows of the Tang army and to dull the swords of the Tang army.

The Tang army came from afar, and the arrows were too many, which was limited.

No matter how sharp the sword and gun is, it will always collapse when it is cut into the flesh and blood, and eventually become something that is not much better than a fire stick.

If you are lucky, these civilians and young men will take advantage of their numbers to shake their opponent's military formation, causing their opponent to reveal their flaws. The elite troops following them will immediately surge up and try hard to expand the flaws, and then open the gap from here to lay a victory.

War is a disaster for ordinary people. For officers or soldiers, it is an opportunity to achieve success before military achievements, while for the top people, it is just a means for them to achieve a certain goal.

This is a game of flesh and blood. In this game, ordinary people have no chance to be resurrected and come back.

And in the eyes of the commander, they are just cold numbers.

How many people were killed, and the army lost its establishment and combat effectiveness were all just planning for their chess pieces on the board.

Life is always a cheap thing on the battlefield.

In the eyes of the battlefield commanders, they will only see the gains and losses of a certain place, the advantages or disadvantages in a certain direction. As for the fallen lives below, they are not in their calculations at all.

War is always so cruel to ordinary people, whether it is just or unjust.

Compared with Tubo, Li Ze did a better job in this regard. During the development of more than ten years, he gradually professionalized soldiers, provided better treatment for soldiers, provided better military armor, and greatly improved their survivability on the battlefield. At the same time, he worked hard to solve their worries. A series of measures have made the combat effectiveness of the Tang army steadily improve over the past decade, and finally stood at the peak of this world.

As for using cannon fodder like civilians and young men as a predecessor, Li Ze never had such a plan from the beginning.

Because in his eyes, these people are the creators of national wealth. If one more land dies, Li Ze will feel that the money in his pocket is not much less.

Therefore, in the Tang army, civilians were the objects of protection. They were at the center of the military formation and did not need to face the enemy's soldiers directly. What they had to do was to do some auxiliary work, such as digging trenches, building earth walls, transporting ordnances, transporting wounded, etc.

The Tang army was always the most elite soldiers on the front line.

So at the beginning of this war, it was a one-sided massacre.

The elite organized army, against the young and strong people of the tide, was an organized massacre.

The Tang army's long-range stone catapults, medium-range powerful crossbows, and short-range crossbow arrows ordered the Tubo cannon fodders that rushed up in an orderly manner. By the time they rushed to the front of the military formation, the number was already counting. But these people were facing the well-trained Tang soldiers wearing armor.

There seems to be a considerable gap in the five-petal blooming array, but this gap is not a weakness that the opponent can grasp. On the contrary, they are fatal traps.

Experienced military commanders will not touch this seemingly weak and unobstructed place, because those places are the real place of death.

But young and middle-aged men don’t understand these.

Even though the Tubo officers among them tried hard to avoid them going to these places, after being hit by a storm in front, they would naturally rush towards these places that seemed like shelter.

They entered the area easily.

Then, they were attacked from several directions.

If there are still places to hide in frontal attacks, there are no blind spots in this area, and the attacks they have suffered are completely all-round.

When the dense crowd became sparse, teams of Tang soldiers rushed out of the military formation and completely harvested the survivors.

After a full half-day attack, the Tubo officers were shocked to find that such a dense attack could not shake the Tang army's military formation at all. Apart from contributing countless military achievements to the Tang army, they gained nothing.

The only ones that could cause losses to the Tang army were its own long-range weapons such as catapults and powerful crossbows.

However, the gap between the two sides in weapons and equipment has caused the long-range weapons of the Tubo army to be exposed and they are covered by opponents.

The Tang army obviously had more experience in the use of catapults, crossbows and other weapons and was more proficient in operating. They were always able to use the catapults of the Tubo army to the front line just after they were transported to the front line. Often, dozens of stone bombs fell from the sky and destroyed them after just one round of bombardment.

There were sorrows everywhere on the battlefield, but they were all Tubo people.

The dead Tang army was quickly transported away.

The injured Tang army was also quickly carried away. In Li Cunzhong's central army camp, there was a field hospital with full facilities, where there were dozens of experienced doctors and more nursing staff.

On the battlefield, as long as it is not a one-sided massacre, there are actually not many people who died on the spot. Instead, the majority of people who died of injuries and cannot be treated in time after being injured. The Tang army's field hospital did fundamentally solve this problem. The extremely high survival rate on the battlefield also prompted the increase in the combat effectiveness of the Tang army soldiers.

As long as you don’t die on the spot, you will have a chance to gain military achievements.

Everyone has such a mind, how can they not be brave in fighting?

In the Tang Dynasty, military merits were still the fastest opportunity to get promotion and change destiny. People like those who had a hard time getting a chance for ten years or even longer were always a few. More people hoped to have faster shortcuts to change their destiny. This is also the reason why the Tang Dynasty adopted the recruiting system, but the people always came enthusiastically.

Such enthusiasm brings about a significant improvement in the quality of military sources.

Since the first year of Xinghua when Li Ze became emperor, there has been a rule in the Tang Dynasty to recruit soldiers, that is, don’t let anyone illiterate.

For any other force in this era, this is like a Tianfang Yetan that has no possibility of implementation. But for Li Ze's Tang Dynasty, it was a natural thing. After more than ten years of layout, it is finally time to harvest the fruits.

What Li Ze has always dreamed of is to build an army with souls, and an army organized by fools obviously cannot meet his requirements.

Being open and wise can really improve the combat effectiveness of the army. It is not only related to Li Ze's dream, but also to the qualities of these people themselves. They are more likely to accept many complex tactics and can better understand and thoroughly execute every command from their superiors.

Due to his age, Tualu did not participate in the Tubo battle against Tang several years ago. This time, it was his first battle against the Tang army. Once upon a time, he had been resentful of the disastrous defeat in Chinan, Tocharo, and privately believed that it might be because of their inappropriate tactical command, and the unfamiliarity with the local geographical and climate in the Tubo soldiers' foreign wars, but today, the more they beat him, the more they feel sad.

The attacks of the civilians were not good. In the second wave of attacks, many warriors of his clan mixed in, trying to scramble to open the gap.

These people were skilled in combat skills. With the help of the civilians on the chaotic battlefield, they did rush to the Tang army.

Then, there is nothing.

When these people fell into the Tang army, they did not even have a splash of water, and disappeared silently into the black flower of death.

The sun gradually sets westward, and after the last wave of attacks was defeated, the Tubo people finally sounded the horn to withdraw their troops. The Tang army did not take the opportunity to counterattack, which also made Tualu's carefully prepared plan to counterattack another wave end in an incomplete manner.

The army slowly retreated.
