…If I'ht, I'll have to depend on these people for news of the front lines
Wang Chong looked at that roup of infantry and cavalry The southas in chaos, and this was actually the first group of Great Tang soldiers he had run into since he had set off fro rode up to theh it was a question, his tone showed that he was coht I know Milord's na just narrowly escaped death, now looked suspiciously at the approaching Wang Chong This youth was far too young There was no general of the Great Tang who looked this young
But the aura he exuded, the tone he spoke with, the dignity he revealed with each of his movements, clearly indicated that he possessed no ordinary status
These soldiers couldn't understand where in the Ieneral could have come from Moreover, the standard are
The soldiers had been in service for a long tie armor It was very si's face was e Song had given hion on that golden token astonished the soldiers on the hill Although they didn't haveof the Imperial Court, even the least-experienced understood that a dragon token often belied a 's household, it would be the i that soldiers of their level couldn't understand or interact with
"Paying respects to Your Highness!"
The soldiers grew anxious and began to kneel This youth had now beco Chong waved his hand but made no effort to correct their mistake This was no time to be huued by stor's status in the imperial household could he stabilize an to stand, but their expressions were now ones of reverence and awe
"What is the situation on the front lines?" Wang Chong said
"The front lines?"
The soldiers looked at each other in confusion
Wang Chong froze, i that they didn't understand
"I'yi leading you to reinforce the Annan Protectorate ar? How ing up the questions he asked
His greatest concern was the situation in the southwest Only by understanding as going on ahead of him would he be able to decide on a plan of action 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated' This was thewas also concerned about how h Wang Chong hadn't been present for that battle and didn't know any details about it, his high attain to conclude one basic fact: Li Zhengyi had not been ambushed on the Erhai plains This meant that the Tibetan cavalry couldn't coyi's army couldn't possiblyelites from his last life, completely wiped out on the Erhai plains without any Lion City to protect theh understanding…"
The soldiers didn't dare neglect Wang Chong's question and began to iive a detailed recount of what they knew
In reality, Li Zhengyi had left before he had even received an order froyi's service in Anxi and Beiting had given hi of this principle
Thus, by the ti and issued the decree, the decree was delivered to an e, only a few old soldiers had been left behind
As a result, Li Zhengyi's advance had been yi are that the front lines had already been completely routed When he left, he had only known that the 180,000 elites led by Xianyu Zhongtong had suffered a minor defeat, but by the ti had already been handed a 's 300,000 soldiers, but the Ü-Tsang ar down from the Tibetan Plateau to the east, led by Great General Huoshu Huicang
These soldiers had all believed that they were going to fight Mengshe Zhao, so one could easily i at theeneral and the leader of the Great Tang ar when coap decided the result of the battle
But Huoshu Huicang had clearly underesti had outclassed Li Zhengyi in every aspect and ultied to use his re abilities to make the Tibetans pay a price!
In this battle, Huoshu Huicang ended up beheading Li Zhengyi!
But there were soeography of the southas coyi and his 60,000 soldiers, Li Zhengyi had offered hi the rest of his soldiers to scatter Not even Huoshu Huicang had been able to catch them all
If those 60,000 infantry and cavalry had fled as a single group, the Tibetan cavalry would have run them down But if tens of thousands of soldiers fled in every direction, the situation would be co's scouts eh soldiers!
Consequently, though Li Zhengyi had lost, a good portion of his ared to escape
