Chapter 472: Wang Chong Gets Out of Prison 【Repair】!
Chapter four hundred and seventy second
The war in the southwest was like a thunderstorm, shaking the entire capital!
While everyone was expecting the new Chief Protector of the Annan Protectorate Mansion, Xian Yu Zhongtong, to lead 180,000 elites of the Tang Dynasty to defeat the Mengshe Zhao and punish Ge Luofeng with one blow, the battle in the southwest dealt a heavy blow to everyone:
Ge Luofeng, the emperor of the Mengshezhao Empire, mobilized and led all 340,000 troops of Mengshezhao to a decisive battle with the 180,000 Tang elites of the Annan Protectorate on the plains by the Xi'er River!
Due to the difference in numbers, the Annan Protectorate Army was defeated. Due to the long distance, further information is not yet known.
But the initial results are already very disturbing.
In Youzhou in the northeast, Suiye City in Anxi, Jishi City in Longxi, and Yinshan Mountain in the north... Datang is the dominant side, or at least the dominant side. But in the southwest, in the history of Datang, it is rare to dispatch an army of 180,000 at a time.
And this scale is still defeated, it is unique!
Since the day the court received the news, hundreds of the most experienced spies have been dispatched to the southwest to find out further news, day and night.
And the court is also discussing the issue of increasing troops!
Regardless of Anxi, Andong, Anbei, or Longxi, every aspect of the Tang Dynasty faced a powerful empire and a powerful enemy, and there was no way to withdraw troops at will for reinforcements.
Once you act rashly and reveal your flaws, it will be a bigger crisis. Therefore, the only way is to deploy reinforcements from other places in the inland.
"The imperial court's second wave of reinforcements has been dispatched two days ago. The army is led by Li Zhengji, a newly-rising young general in the military department. It has a total of 60,000 horses, and has brought a large number of bows, bed crossbows, weapons, and food. southwest."
"You may not know Li Zhengji very well, but he is a leader of the military's younger generation. He has participated in many battles and performed extremely well. Moreover, he joined the army and became famous very early, and his reputation in the army may It’s still on top of your elder brother Wang Talisman.”
Song Wangdao.
King Song's expression has always been very solemn, and when it comes to the failure of the Southwest, it is even more heavy, but when Li Junzheng is mentioned, King Song's expression is obviously much lighter, and he is obviously very fancy to this Li Junzheng!
Wang Chong's face suddenly became very ugly.
"History repeats itself!"
Wang Chong murmured,
At this moment, I felt an indescribable pain in my heart.
How could he not know Li Zhengji?
It is true that Li Zhengji became famous earlier than his elder brother Wang Fu, and in terms of talent, he is also recognized as great.
He first joined the Anxi Protectorate, and worked in Suiye City far to the west. There, his performance was extremely outstanding, and even Gao Xianzhi praised him.
Then, he was transferred to Beiting, where he conquered Turks many times, and his outstanding performance even surpassed some generals in the army.
In the military, Li Zhengji is recognized as a candidate with the qualifications of a general in the future. The army also established him as a rising star leader to replace the future Wang Zhongsi and Zhang Shougui and become the mainstay of the empire.
However, no matter how powerful the imperial court is, even if Li Zhengji has the talent of a general, he would never have expected that their real opponents are not the characters of Meng Shezhao, not Ge Luofeng, nor Feng Jiayi, but Usi Huoshu Guizang and Daqin Ruozan of the Tibetan Empire.
The former is the number one brave general of the Ali royal family of the Uzang Empire, and his attack power is extremely powerful. Back then, he was ordered to be the "Supernatural General" of the Uzang Empire, second only to the top generals like Li Siye.
The latter is a well-known wise general of the Uzbek Empire, with an unparalleled ability to grasp the timing.
With these two people united, even if Zhangchou Jianqiong leads the 180,000 elites of the Tang Dynasty, there are many dangers and fears.
In the more than ten years in the Southwest Protectorate, Zhangchou Jianqiong had never attacked the Uzang Plateau. It wasn't that he was worried about being taken advantage of by Meng She's edict, but that Zhangchou Jianqiong was not sure at all, leaving Caiyunzhinan, he was still sure to defeat Huoshu Guizang and Daqin Ruozan.
Although Li Zhengji's strength and talent are high, he still can't compare with figures like Huoshu Guizang and Daqin Ruozan.
And the troops mobilized from the inland could not deal with the elite cavalry of the Uzbek Empire.
Facing the enemy head-on, the strength is already insufficient, coupled with the lack of psychological preparation, the fate of waiting for Li Zhengji can be imagined.
There was a tragedy that happened back then, but Wang Chong never expected that it would go round and round, and it would happen again in the end.
"Your Highness..."
As soon as Wang Chong opened his mouth, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded:
"A turning point in the world, a major event: Uzang intervened in the war between Tang and Mengshezhao, the Great Tang was defeated, and the remaining troops were 80,000. From now on, the host is prohibited from revealing any information related to Uzang."
"From now on, within two months, if the Southwest Protectorate's army falls below 10,000, it will be regarded as a failure of the host mission and will be directly obliterated. If the entire army of the Southwest Protectorate is wiped out, it will be regarded as a failure of the host mission and will be obliterated as well. "
"The host will not leave any traces in this world, including other people's memories!"
"Start now, countdown!"
...
"Buzz!"
An electric current surged through his body from the soles of his feet. Wang Chong trembled all over, and he was shocked. He couldn't utter a single word that he was about to utter.
"Wang Chong, what's wrong?"
Song Wang looked concerned, and Wang Chong's face looked very bad now.
"nothing."
Wang Chong turned pale, shook his head, his heart was extremely messy.
Xianyu Zhongtong was defeated, not in battle, but in defeat. The Tibetans in Uzbekistan participated in the war much earlier than they knew.
The 180,000 elites of the Tang Dynasty were already defeated by the 340,000 elites of the Mengshezhao Empire, plus more than 200,000 iron cavalry of the Uzang-Ali royal family, which were less than Zhongtonghe and the 180,000 elites of the Tang Dynasty. One can imagine the fate.
"Unexpectedly, it's still too late..."
Wang Chong's heart sank to the bottom of the water. Of the 180,000 Tang elites, there were only 80,000 left, and the death toll reached more than 100,000.
The Annan Protectorate's Mansion finally suffered unprecedented damage since the mansion was established!
If everything goes to the end, this will be the first Protectorate in Datang to be abolished due to foreign attacks.
"Wang Chong, your uncle mentioned to me that you have already expected all of this. That's why I tried my best to force you into the dark prison of the Tripartite Trial. Now, you can leave the dark prison. In addition, I hope to hear your opinion on the Southwest matter."
"Come on, open the cell for me!"
...
Boom, with a loud noise, the door of the dark prison opened heavily. A beam of sunlight shone in from the outside, and Wang Chong walked out of the dark prison. After more than half a month, he saw the sunlight for the first time.
