I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Page 279

To be honest, this unfathomable national power completely frightened Tubo and Turks.

Since you can't get what you want through peaceful means, according to the rules of the nomads, you can only grab it back with the knife in your hand.

At the same time, with such a fierce and grumpy neighbor, instead of waiting for the neighbor to come and rob me, it is better to take advantage of the neighbor's house when something is wrong, and everyone go together and rob the neighbor's house first.

As a result, Tubo and Turks changed at the same time, and Datang went straight to Turks with the highest hatred value, and this side fell into a defensive state.

In fact, from a strategic point of view, whether it is Tubo or Turkic, there is nothing wrong with it. The strategy of fighting on two fronts to drag down Datang is actually very good.

But I am not afraid that the enemy army is very strong, but I am afraid that the enemy army will hack it!

As for the undead, Datang really had someone who cheated, and Zhang Nuo was the one.

As a result, all the Turks from Jieli Khan down to the street, even if there is a fish that slipped through the net, the rest of the days can only be spent in hard labor.

Zhang Nuo would not give these executioners who were stained with the blood and tears of the people of the Tang Dynasty any chance to reform themselves. They have only one choice, that is to work until they die, and use the rest of their lives and labor to atone for their sins.

At this time, Tubo had not received the news of the collapse of the Turks.In their view, even if the Turks cannot be defeated for the time being, it will still be able to attract all the troops and attention of the Tang Dynasty.

Then, as long as they attack quickly, they will definitely bring Datang to the negotiating table, and then both Tubo and Turks will get what they want.

Of course, if there is such a special situation, if the Turks can't stand it, then it doesn't matter. Anyway, Tubo is staying on the plateau, and Datang can't get up if he wants to. In addition to expressing his apology, Tubo continued to live on Little day chant.

Again, the idea is very good, but unfortunately Zhang Nuo disagrees.

Li Shimin didn't expect that originally he and Zhang Nuo just wanted to play wild in the royal city of Tubo, but they never expected that Zhang Nuo would lose his temper as soon as they arrived in Dajinchuan.

It was rare for Zhang Nuo to lose his temper, so Li Shimin naturally had to vent his anger for his brother, and he also saw that the scale of the battle here was actually not comparable to that of the Turkic side, but the casualties here were even greater than the Turkic side.

How could Li Shimin bear this?

Reorganize the army, prepare for war, go out of the city, and kill the Tubo people!

Li Shimin obliged to take over the command of the entire army, and at the same time directly flew out his own dragon flag. Looking at the dragon flag fluttering high, everyone knew that it was His Majesty who was in command at this time, and the sky was slowing down. The slow-flying one is undoubtedly His Royal Highness King Qin.

With these two present, all the sergeants grinned grinningly and clenched the steel knives in their hands. These two are not good people. Goryeo offended them, no more, Turks offended them, no more, now It seems that Tubo also offended these two masters.

They don't know what will happen to Tubo King City, but they know that the group of people in front of them is doomed!

Chapter 714 Desperate Tubo

It wasn't once or twice that Zhang Nuo went to the battlefield. Even if it was a high-altitude battle, Zhang Nuo was familiar with it.

After all, when he was in Turkic before, in order to find the traces of Turkic, he not only flew in the sky every day, eating and sleeping in the open air, but also bombed Turkic indiscriminately afterward, turning Turkic into a fool.

So, for him, getting on the airship and hitting people with grenades is simply a daily operation, okay?

However, as Zhang Nuo participated in more and more battles, he gradually discovered that even if the aerial bombing is an era ahead of this era, if it is operated properly, there are still many things that can be improved and improved. .

For example, Zhang Nuo was thinking about what to do so that the air bombing and ground attack could cooperate.

In fact, in later generations, this is a tactic that the armies of all countries need to study and practice, that is, air-ground coordination.

After all, in later generations, the form of warfare has evolved from the most primitive human sea tactics, to infantry and artillery coordination, and then to infantry and tank coordination all the way to air-ground coordination.

First use fighters to cover the bombers to open the way to seize air supremacy, then advance the mechanized army, and at the same time escort the air force in the sky, and then completely destroy the opponent in the air and ground.

From the beginning to the end, whether in the sky or on the ground, it formed a three-dimensional suppression and attack on the place, which was as continuous as the waves, and at the same time, it was everywhere like a violent storm, making people flee without knowing where to flee.

These things are core tactics that must be studied and repeatedly practiced by the elite troops of each country. Although every country will coordinate in the air, but in fact, it can really apply this tactic to practice and use it well. There are only a few countries, all of which are the undisclosed secrets of each country, and it is also a summary of valuable experience gained from countless exercises and repeated exercises.

As far as Zhang Nuo is concerned, of course he does not expect to come up with the level of air-ground coordination in the later generations. After all, let alone dealing with air-ground coordination, even the means of dealing with Zhang Nuo's aerial bombing has not yet appeared.

However, people without foresight must have near-term worries. It is true that there are no means and enemies that can deal with aerial bombing for the time being, but is it true that Datang is so complacent and will not move forward?

If you lag behind, you will be beaten!

Therefore, when facing the Tubo vanguard this time, Zhang Nuo obviously thought that Tubo was so angry that he beat them up, but in fact Zhang Nuo acted extra cautiously this time.

Before he boarded the airship, he threw a walkie-talkie to Li Shimin for the purpose of communicating information between the two parties.

The so-called air-ground coordination has two basic conditions. One is that you must have air force and ground troops. After all, even in later generations, there are some small countries that do not have the concept of air force at all. They can only show off their prestige on the ground or wait like a quail. To be bombed.

Another prerequisite is communication. Only timely and unimpeded communication can ensure that the attacks at both ends of the open space can be coordinated.

Otherwise, it will become a farce where you hit yours and I hit mine, and there will even be a farce where your own people beat your own people.

That's why Zhang Nuo immediately gave Li Shimin a walkie-talkie.

After the experience of the Turkic War, Lao Li is very familiar with things like walkie-talkies. After receiving it, he picked up the headset and hung it on his ear, adjusted the frequency immediately and started to test the machine.

If it weren't for the equipment and hairstyle on him, no one would have thought that this is actually an "ancient man" in ancient times, after all, his movements are too skilled.

After Zhang Nuo shared his thoughts with Li Shimin through the walkie-talkie, Li Shimin also recognized it very much. Although he didn't know what air-ground coordination was, he was also a veteran who had been fighting for a long time. He knew clearly that only the two armies cooperated properly. In order to achieve greater results.

He first put forward his own suggestion, that is, after the whole army on his side attacked, a small number of cavalry went around to the two wings to prevent the enemy from escaping later, and then the Chinese army took a defensive position and waited for Tubo to attack.

After Tubo launched the attack, the first thing Zhang Nuo wanted to attack was not the Tubo army, but the Tubo camp. First, destroy the people's lair, so that you have no place to retreat later.

And after the local camp and supplies and supplies were destroyed, the opponent's military morale was estimated to be half. At this time, both sides launched an attack at the same time, one front, one back, one ground and one sky, and completely strangled this group of people here.

At the same time, the cavalry wandered around, strangling the enemy who accidentally broke out.In this way, if you cut off the back road first, then surround it with a large army, and attack in one piece in the open space, you will not believe that the Tubo people will not collapse.

Zhang Nuo nodded when he heard the words, and had to say, Lao Li has fought for so many years, at least he said his words in a well-organized way, Zhang Nuo didn't expect to bomb other people's camps first with.

However, Li Shimin and the others are very proficient in this kind of trick to disturb the morale of the army. What they like most is to disturb the mentality of people. If the general mentality collapses, it is not far from defeat.

After the two parties finished their discussions, they immediately began to implement the strategy just discussed.

These two are not soft-hearted people, especially at this time, whether it is for their own people or enemies, that is not a word that can be described as cruel.

Zhang Nuo saw that these sergeants from the Forbidden Army were all strong and strong, so he simply asked them to take out a barrel of gasoline, unscrew the lid, and throw it into the camp. wash the floor.

Well, it didn't take much effort, and the whole camp couldn't see anyone. The sea of ​​flames and the corpses all over the ground meant that this was the place.

But Zhang Nuo just glanced at it, then turned around and arranged for Xu Bowen to turn around and head straight for the Tibetan army.

At this time, the Tubo people have already seen the fire in the camp behind, the burning flames, and the screams that seem to be heard even from such a distance, all telling them the fact that it is their future. The road is gone.

But before they figured out why this big camp existed, the mysterious black thing flying in the sky had already turned around and came towards them.

Then, now they finally had no big camp. Zhang Nuo, who seemed to have mastered new skills after setting fire and bombing in the big camp just now, naturally couldn't let go of such an opportunity to test new skills.

The old rule is that the petrol cans come first and the grenades follow. What you want is an overwhelming one. Zhang Nuo doesn't need to buy another one. He has a lot of petrol cans in his warehouse for his own use, and you're done.

Then, the Tubo vanguard was completely miserable, very miserable!

Chapter 715 The tragedy after the war

There is actually nothing to say about the end of this battle. When one side's military strength has surpassed the other's by one dimension, it is no longer a battle, it can only be called a massacre.

And when Datang's military strength is clearly superior to the opponent's by a dimension, and they are still cautiously experimenting with air-ground coordination tactics, this is a bit speechless.

This is like a team of [-] people in the game pushing the boss, but they meet a slime on the road, which can be crushed to death directly, and they also make a tank first, the assassin walks, DPS is full, the nanny increases the state and pays attention to the blood volume When the battle formation came out, it was speechless to think about it.

But I have to say that although the formation is a little bigger, from the effect point of view, from the perspective of Datang, it can't be better.

After all, except for a few lucky people in the camp who saw the situation was not good and slipped towards the inland of Tubo in advance, there was not a single living Tubo in the entire pass.

Of course, such a battle is not without disadvantages, that is, the auxiliary soldiers responsible for cleaning the battlefield have suffered a great crime.

Damn it, it’s not that they haven’t seen the world. In the past, at most, there were corpses and broken bones. Everyone is used to it. It’s nothing more than a stronger smell of blood. When cleaning, they might be able to pick up some leaks. What loot?

But this time is different, mother, the whole battlefield is filled with the smell of scorched corpses, those are the Tubo people who fell under the double attack of gasoline and grenades, but if the corpses are not properly disposed of, they will not be able to get rid of them. Good will cause the plague.

Therefore, even if the gang of auxiliary soldiers vomited until they had nothing to vomit, they still had to clean up honestly.

If the battlefield where the two sides fought was hell on earth, then when they walked into the original camp of Tubo, they knew what real hell was.

This was originally a pass, which firmly blocked the main route of Datang's attack on Tubo. The mountain walls on both sides were usually barriers for the camp, but today they became a cage to trap everyone.

Moreover, since it is a large camp, the Tibetans themselves like oily food and fur. Well, with a semi-enclosed area and a lot of combustibles, one can imagine the fate of the Tibetans who stayed behind.

However, these things have nothing to do with Zhang Nuo, his task has been completed before, and now he only needs to rest in the city.

Perhaps it is the welfare of the system. Zhang Nuo's physique is indeed much stronger than the average person. The altitude of this place has actually reached more than 3000 and nearly [-]. But to Zhang Nuo, it seems to be no different from the plain, except when he is panting. Except for a little more effort than usual, there is no other feeling.

This makes people a little envious, whether it's Li Shimin or Cheng Yaojin, they usually feel that they are in good health, but now they can't compare with Zhang Nuoyi.

Especially Li Shimin, he touched his belly, wondering for the first time whether he should practice the exercises given by Zhang Nuo?

Zhang Nuo had given them a body-building exercises long ago, which had no other purpose except to make their bodies healthier.

Li Yuan, Li Shimin and even the Empress Changsun knew about this. Among these few people, Li Yuan practiced the most diligently and had the best results. How can Li Yuan be seen as an old man in his 60s and [-]s now, with black hair and a strong figure? At first glance, he looked like a middle-aged strong man.

Even Empress Changsun practiced more diligently than Li Shimin. Now her body is much better than before, her figure is more graceful and graceful, and her complexion is much better than before.

Only Li Shimin, one is because there are a lot of messy things that take up a lot of his time, and the other is that after becoming the emperor, Li Shimin has to be busy with official duties on weekdays, so he finally has some free time, so why not spend some time? day?

This exercise is naturally a good exercise, but it is tiring to practice.Therefore, since Li Shimin didn't exercise for the first time because he was tired, but silently said "next time" in his heart, what awaited him was countless times of sure.

Then, there is no more. At this time, the hidden wounds left by Li Shimin in the early battles have not been repaired, and because of the unreasonable work and rest and unreasonable diet, the whole person has a small belly, his figure is out of shape, and his physical fitness is even worse. Nothing compared to before.

When he wasn't on the battlefield, he couldn't see it, but now that he was on the plateau, his physical fitness was basically revealed.

This made Li Shimin extremely embarrassed. Others may have reasons to say, but he, who obviously has a brilliant and exclusive exercise in his hands, just ignores it, making himself like a cripple now. I have to catch my breath. If I run a few steps, I will probably be too tired to pant like a dog.

Zhang Nuo didn't say anything about him because of this. He knew very well that how a person wants to live is his own choice. Even if you are his friend or brother, you have no right to say anything. After all, it is the person's own choice. Life.

Therefore, facing Li Shimin's panting like a bellows, Zhang Nuo simply pretended not to see it, and went to his room to rest on his own.

They have to rest here for the past few days, and the envoys have to get used to this feeling so that they can deal with the higher-altitude Tubo King City.

However, Zhang Nuo was surprised to find that Changsun Wuji was actually in good health, and his altitude sickness was not as bad as Li Shimin's.

At this time, I am sitting in the room sorting out all the details of the war I just saw, and at the same time deducing what can be improved in the battle situation just now.

Anyway, Zhang Nuo had nothing to do, so he became interested when he saw this, so he just went over to chat with Zhangsun Wuji, it's better than just wandering around with nothing to do.

Moreover, this is not the only thing he wants to talk to Changsun Wuji. He intends to suggest that Li Shimin build a new city directly in the place where the Tubo people built their camp.

Although building a city in such a place is bound to cost a lot of money, the strategic significance contained in it is definitely worth the price, and now that there is an artifact of cement, building a city is actually not that scary.

Changsun Wuji also became interested after hearing Zhang Nuo's ideas. Discussing the war situation before was just a hobby of his.

That still makes sense to discuss the matter of building a city.So, he turned around and discussed with Zhang Nuo about the cost of building the city, source of population, future development, city positioning and other aspects. This is interesting!

Chapter 716

The discussion between Zhang Nuo and Changsun Wuji was nothing more than a mouthful. After all, even if one of them is the No. 1 civil servant and the other is the king of Qin, it actually comes down to building a city and relocating the population. It's not something that the two of them can decide on the spot.

They can only report the results of their discussions to Li Shimin afterwards, and then wait for Li Shimin to call people together to discuss and make a decision.

And even if it is decided, it cannot be done overnight.

They are actually aware of this, and they are just killing time with this matter.

Time passed slowly in these days when there was no fun to speak of. By accident, it had been ten days since Li Shimin and others came to this small border town.

As for the members of the diplomatic mission, including Li Shimin, not to mention that they have fully adapted to this climate, at least they will not be out of breath after walking two steps and saying a few words like when they first arrived.

From Zhang Nuo's point of view, negotiations can basically be carried out, so don't wait, let's go to Tubo King City for a while, he still wants to go home early.

Li Shimin also felt that it was almost time. He was not only thinking about the physical condition of the envoys, but he also considered whether the few deserters who had escaped from the previous Tubo camp had brought the situation here. Report the matter to the Tubo King City.

If it was before, then he would try to block the news as much as possible, because only in this way can the effect of surprise be achieved. After all, in war, if you can surprise the enemy by surprise, why do you have to be tough?

But this time is different, he is eager for the other party to know, because the purpose of Datang this time is to show force in the past, to prevent them from knowing that Datang has an airship that can fly in the sky and attack.

If Tubo is beaten half to death at that time, they will think it is a punishment from the gods or something, and they will not have the slightest reverence for Datang in their hearts, then it will show a fart of force, it is all a show for the blind. .

Although when the envoys and him went down later, the other party would definitely know who was beating them, but after all, it would be so good if they didn't let them know in advance, and then waited in fear for him to go.

Therefore, he waited slowly, waiting for the envoys and his own body to gradually adapt to the plateau climate, and at the same time he had to constantly take various medicines provided by Zhang Nuo.

He made an estimate, and judging from the information obtained by Datang, the information about the previous battle should have almost reached Tubo King City.

You know, he was "very kind" and let the sergeant under him ride over on horseback to secretly give the other party a ride, and even gave the other two horses.

In fact, just as Li Shimin expected, one of those deserters was a small nobleman. His courage had been completely frightened by the previous battle. He didn't dare to stay on the road at all, for fear that Datang would catch up along the road. , so he really ran all the way back to Wangcheng day and night.

A little nobleman who was on duty at the front line came back from the front line. No matter how he tried to cover it up, he couldn't hide it.

Therefore, he was taken to the royal court and thrown directly in front of Songtsan Gambo and Lu Dongzan.

And after he repeated what he had experienced and seen three times, the entire top management in Tubo was completely speechless.

Everyone present had only one thought in mind at this moment, the sky was about to fall, and the people of Tang Dynasty were coming to take revenge.

Lu Dongzan was the first to calm down. He asked again based on the experience that the little noble said just now, but this time he asked all the details, and he didn't even let go of any clues. In the end, don't say anything. That little nobleman, even Zamp Songtsen Gampo sitting on the throne is annoying, but he is still young and respects the prime minister very much, so it is not easy to object directly, so after hesitating for a while, he said tactfully ,

"Great Minister, let's first consider how to resist Datang's upcoming attack!"
