One man once wiped out the whole of India. How bad is India's military strength?

in the twenty-second year of Zhenguan, that is, in 648 AD, Shiluo Yiduo died, causing chaos in the territory and falling back into division. His minister, Arona Shun, became king on his own.

We haven't sent envoys for several years, and the news has been cut off. Tang Ting knows nothing about the chaos in Tianzhu. One day, on a whim, he thought of India thousands of miles away. I haven't heard from you for several years. How is Shi Luoyi?

Emperor Taizong appointed Shi Wang Xuance, the right-back commander, as an envoy to India to meet his old friend Shiloh Yiduo, whom he had never met before.

A moment's thought sent Wang Xuance into the jaws of death.

emperor Taizong Li Shimin.

Wang Xuance and his lieutenant, Jiang Shiren, with 3 followers, traveled long distances and went through hardships to cross the border and arrive in Tianzhu.

Not long after entering the country, Wang Xuance found something bad. Smoke and dust billowed ahead, as if a large army were coming. To meet such a small official, why do you have to stir up trouble? Wang Xuance is smart and experienced, and he feels bad, so he reminds his followers to be on guard.

When the formation of the opponent was almost clear, Xuance was shocked: This is not to meet, but to die!

The opposing army swooped in, and Xuance fought and retreated. Dozens of followers, holding the sky is equivalent to the establishment of two platoons today, and they are unprepared. How can they resist the other army?

In the blink of an eye, the brothers were completely annihilated, and Xuance and Shiren were captured and thrown into prison.

Only then did Wang Xuance know that there was a coup in Tianzhu, and Shiloh Yiduo was dead, and Tianzhu was torn apart again and plunged into chaos.

Xuance and Shi Ren, the assistant commander, found an opportunity in the chaos and ventured to escape from prison. Wang Xuance later wrote a book called "Journey to the Middle Tianzhu", all of which were recorded. Unfortunately, the book was later lost.

Wang Xuance, who has regained his freedom, gnashed his teeth: We have come for peace, so what is the morality? If you don't avenge this, how can you go home and face the saints?

Aronashun, who ordered the attack on Tang envoys, never imagined that this rash attack, seemingly insignificant, brought the fate of national subjugation.

revenge!

After a long journey, Wang Xuance and dozens of his brothers have become brothers. Blink of an eye, I could have gone back to Chang 'an to share my wealth with my brothers, who died and died. Can he not be heartbroken and angry?

They fled all the way to Tibet, which is today's Tibet, and their hearts were a little wider. Tubo belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Taizong sent Princess Wencheng to Tibet, which is a much-told story and has a friendly relationship, which has been circulated all over the world.

The leader of the Tubo is called Zanpu, and Zanpu at that time was Songzan Gambu. Princess Wencheng is not the biological daughter of Emperor Taizong, but in terms of birthright, Emperor Taizong and Songzan Gambu are also considered as Weng Xu.

Songzan Ganbu statue.

At this time, Wang Xuance was faced with two choices: either he went back to Chang 'an and reported truthfully, asking Emperor Taizong to send troops for revenge. This is not only a long journey, but also a long time-more importantly, he has no face and courage to see Emperor Taizong now! Either find the prospective son-in-law of Emperor Taizong to borrow soldiers, unite with the strength of other Datang vassal countries, and send troops for revenge!

Although the first way is difficult, the risk is small; The second way is short, efficient and difficult: how to persuade them to send troops? Even if you send troops, can you compete with Tianzhu? What if it fails?

Wang Xuance's sword goes sideways, showing a dangerous move.

"Your life will not be affected when you are away, not to mention being far away from Qian Shan." Wang Xuance Road.

Shi Ren said, "I listen to you. What should I do next? "

In May of the 22nd year of Zhenguan (A.D. 648), the northern part of the South Asian subcontinent and the southern slope of the Himalayas, affected by the warm and humid air current in the Indian Ocean, had a little spring, and it was not so chilly.

On the plateau, a great army is marching forward with its head held high in the spring.

The team of nearly 1, people, although neat, is somewhat special-no, it is very special.

teams are obviously divided into two categories, which are very different in dress and language. What is more unique is that the two commanders are somewhat different among the soldiers.

The soldiers are obviously from the plateau, with rough skin, red in black, sunken eyes and curly hair. The two commanders are yellow-skinned, broad-faced, black-haired and black-eyed, typical Central Plains people.

They were none other than Wang Xuance and Jiang Shiren.

Wang Xuance borrowed 8, soldiers with his diplomatic skills and experience capital.

The capital for borrowing soldiers depends on the fact that the Tang Dynasty was strong and powerful, with many subordinate countries, and the fact that Wang Xuance sent troops to Tianzhu several years ago, so he was familiar with the environment and accumulated certain "personal resources".

Wang Xuance's first goal is to convince Songzan Gambu of Tubo to send troops instead of "borrowing soldiers".

there is a big difference between lending and lending.

sending troops is tantamount to declaring war on Tianzhu, which belongs to the struggle between countries; Borrowing soldiers, that's your Datang and your Wang Xuance's own business. I'll lend you the soldier. If you win, you have to pay some interest when you return the soldier, right? If you lose, it doesn't matter much to me. After all, I didn't confront Tianzhu head-on. At most, I won't lose much if I get on the 1, horses.

1, troops? Yes, from the prospective son-in-law of Emperor Taizong, Wang Xuance only borrowed 1, soldiers.

it's obviously perfunctory, not sincere; This also shows that Tubo does not want to offend the vast Tianzhu.

leading 1 people to fight Tianzhu? Jokes. Wang Xuance, not discouraged, gave birth to another plan.

Nepal, the country of NiBorneo in the north of Tianzhu, has never dealt with Tianzhu in history. Wang Xuance, a diplomat, knows this like the back of his hand.

Moreover, Wang Xuance also knows that Songzan Gambo not only married Princess Wencheng, but also married Nipo Luo and married a princess from Nipo Luo.

In other words, Tubo is related to Datang and Nipo Luo. In this way, Datang and Nipo Luo are also considered "indirect relatives".

Wang Xuance had the idea of Nipo Luo.

Although it's a plea, we should not lose the prestige of Datang, but shock it first. This is his diplomatic skill: first suppress the other side from the momentum, so that the other side has the heart of submission, in order to be obedient.

of course, this momentum is not created out of thin air; Datang's prestige and strength gave him this confidence.

What's more, Tubo surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and belonged to the Tang Dynasty. Songzan Gambu can only be called "king", not emperor; Emperor Taizong belonged to the "Wang Zhongwang" who ruled Songzan Gambu.

So, under the banner of Songzan Gampo, relying on the prestige of Emperor Taizong's "Wang Zhongwang", Wang Xuance's negotiation with King Niboro went smoothly, knowing that it would attack Tianzhu's interests and moving it to avoid attacking Tianzhu's troubles.

Nipo Luo borrowed 7 soldiers.

Together with 1, Tubo people and a team of more than 8, people, we are heading for Tianzhu.

Even Nipo Luo, who borrowed 7, soldiers, can't believe that a team of less than 1, people can move Tianzhu and Arona Shun.

a miracle really happened.

at that time, Tianzhu was divided, and it was still divided into east, west, north and south. It is Wang Xuance's attack target that Aronashun usurped power.

Wang Xuance knows very well that it's not enough for Alonso to play hardball with his own strength.

Tianzhu's army has a very unique and powerful weapon in the cold weapon era, which can be called "the tank chariot in the cold weapon era".

-this is the elephant soldier. Invincible.

the "tank array" in the era of cold weapons-elephant soldiers.

Anyone who has watched the TV series Romance of the Three Kingdoms must have been deeply impressed by Meng Huo's elephant team in the episode "Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo seven times". Compared with Tianzhu, Meng Huo's elephant soldiers are pediatrics. Tianzhu is the ancestor of "Xiangbing".

if you want to defeat the strong with the weak, you must win the "tank chariot" in the era of cold weapons. Wang Xuance sure?

I have a plan in mind. Xuance found a solution to the enemy.

any strategy to break the enemy, never changing from its ancestor, is nothing more than finding the enemy's weakness. Hit the snake seven inches, find the enemy's fate, the weak can win the strong, and the strong can win.

what are the weaknesses of the mighty elephant soldier? Where is the life gate?

Wang Xuance has a bright eye and can see clearly.

after all, the "tank" in the cold weapon era is not a machine, but a beast. If it is a wild animal, it will be frightened and out of control. This is a weakness, the weakness of animals.

Being arrogant, arrogant, ignorant of tactics and strategies is Tianzhu's second biggest weakness, which is human weakness.

the latter is more terrible than the former.

the beast is arrogant and controllable; People are arrogant and uncontrollable.

Elephant soldiers have great lethality and destructive power, and all countries in Tianzhu have no regard for other small countries at all; There is no need to talk nonsense when the two armies confront each other. As long as a group of elephants rampage, the other side will surely be in flight. The strength contrast is wide, what tactics and strategies should we consider?

Tianzhu is also an ancient civilization, but its military theory is not as developed as that of the Tang Dynasty, which is one of the reasons.

Use wisdom to defeat the weak, and defeat the elephant soldiers by tactics. Wang Xuance is familiar with history, and he knows all about Zhuge Liang's example of defeating Meng Huo like a soldier. Just copy Zhuge Liang's tactics, copy the cat and draw a tiger, even if the imitation is poor, it is enough to deal with Tianzhu soldiers.

lure the enemy in, encircle and annihilate him, and defeat the strong with the weak. Wang Xuance's flexible strategies and tactics unheard of by Tianzhu soldiers have achieved amazing results.

Arona Shunna is willing to let it go, leading the elephant soldiers and fighting back crazily. Wang Xuance had an idea, copied Zhuge Liang, set up a "fire bull array" and stormed the elephant soldiers. Think about it, there is a fireball burning on the cow's tail. Can you stop blushing? Elephants are originally afraid of fire. Can they not panic when they see the deadly battle of fire cows?

Elephant soldiers are in chaos, but they suffer. It is hard to count the number of Tianzhu soldiers trampled to death by elephants.

In the Battle of "Fire Bull Array", the Tianzhu soldiers were frightened by the wind, and the mysterious strategy was like a broken bamboo. They quickly occupied the middle Tianzhu and captured Arona Shun alive.

The victory in Zhongtianzhu is not so much that Wang Xuance "destroyed one country by one person" as that the advanced military culture of the Tang Dynasty destroyed Zhongtianzhu. Advanced and backward, sometimes the gap is so big.

a fiery bull array crazier than an elephant.
