Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 338 Battle Seven

Si Yehu forced all the guards to leave with great righteousness, looked at the cavalry cruising in the distance, prayed for someone to break out, and looked at the soldiers who kept falling off their horses, closed his eyes in pain, reached out and pulled out his waist knife, and wiped it forcefully on his neck .

The leader of a powerful tribe committed suicide and paid for his wrong decision with death.

Si Yehu committed suicide, and the two steadfast guards behind him also drew their swords to commit suicide. The flag officer has always been a confidant, and the two also committed suicide with their swords, and the other soldiers around immediately dispersed.

"Siyehu is dead! Wansheng!" Liu Shili accidentally found that there was no one under Siyehu's banner, and immediately shouted happily.

"Si Ye Hu! Wan Sheng!" The guards around Liu Shili hurriedly shouted.

As a group of them yelled, other soldiers of Datang heard it and happily yelled too. After a while, the whole battlefield resounded with huge cheers.

On the contrary, the Turkic people were all like a test. Many people dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for surrender, and many people started to flee in a hurry.

The failure has long been doomed, and once the rout is formed, the battle situation will be irreversible, not to mention that the patriarchs have already fled and lack of command, which makes the Turkic people fall faster.

Liu Shili and others have long followed Li Yuan and Li Shimin's generals. After fighting the Eastern Turks, they seldom won battles. Is it possible to make meritorious service this time? I still want to raise my title and official position, and increase my position in front of the general. It is best to be able to turn the county magistrate into a county magistrate.

Of course, for credit, the eyes are all red. Looking at the Turkic people represents the official position. All those who did not kneel down and beg for surrender were all killed. They were clearly defeated. No one shouted to surrender, as if they had forgotten it, very tacit understanding Staring at the rout soldiers chasing after them.

As for Xue Rengui, although there are many men under his command, his task is to prevent the enemy from escaping. Of course, the only way is to kill the deserters. Facing the escaping enemy, his men will shoot and kill them without ordering them.What's more, the middle of the battlefield is still fighting. As the leading general with the smallest official position, he is naturally not qualified to order the army to surrender.

Li Ji also found this situation in the telescope in the distance. Of course he knew what these people were thinking. In his opinion, there are already enough Turkic people in the Tang Dynasty, especially the young and strong, and there is no harm in dying. As for the captives, they will be captured in the future. If the battle plan is affected by too many captives, it will be bad.

After killing for a long time, the smart Turkic people also found that they would not die if they kneeled on the ground, so they knelt on the ground one after another, and almost all those who ran away in panic were killed.

But there were a lot of Turkic people, and the battlefield spread all over the city of Shazhou, and they fled everywhere. The fighting didn't end until it was dark, and they began to clean up the battlefield.

Li Ji asked everyone to choose and let the injured stay. Xue Rengui continued to clean the battlefield, guarding [-] prisoners, and then rushed to Yizhou with the rest of the people.

At the same time, Zhang Shigui led [-] elite infantry and blocked the retreat of the Yizhou Turks, waiting for the encirclement.

…………

In Songzhou, Gar Dongzan led 20 Tubo troops to besiege the city. Of the 20 troops, only [-] belonged directly to Songtsen Gampo, and the rest belonged to some tribes loyal to Songtsen Gampo.

Tubo has not been unified until the young Songtsan Gampo came to power, and with the assistance of Gar Dongzan, he managed to unify most of the areas. This expedition was also because the Tang Dynasty traded with the Tubo nobles and exchanged a large number of cattle and sheep. Wheat and highland barley make life difficult for the common people. Although most of the Tibetans are slaves, slaves will also rebel when there is no food.

It was Gar Dongzan's persuasion to go to the Tang Dynasty, just to divert domestic pressure and to consume the power of the tribe.

During the expedition, Gar Dongzan promised to everyone that all the food and treasures looted during this expedition will belong to the tribes, and Zanpu only needs to take captives, especially craftsmen.

Then he promised all the slaves that after returning, they would be given a few sheep and a small piece of land that belonged to them.

So this time there are [-] slave death squads, and more than [-] women and weak as logistics, looking after the sheep.

Tubo is a semi-agricultural and semi-nomadic people. When they go out for war, they will also bring a large number of cattle and sheep, fried wheat, highland barley, and milk of cows and goats as food, which is very convenient and quick.

For the sake of wealth, the Tubo people launched a crazy attack on Songzhou from the very beginning, especially the slaves among them, especially desperately in order to have their own property, which put Li Xiaogong under great pressure.

Even with Niu Jinda's support, they were still busy running for their lives. Fortunately, there were [-] government soldiers and [-] young and strong in Shuzhong to support them.

For three consecutive days, more than half of the Tibetan slaves were killed and injured, and many soldiers were also killed and injured, so the attack was eased.

Tubo's attack was blocked, so Li Xiaogong adjusted the arrangement. Fortunately, after three days of intense offensive, many young and strong men became qualified fighters.

After some adjustments, the defense gradually stabilized, but it caused a lot of casualties to Tubo, but there were not many deaths, and the injured were properly taken care of, all thanks to Shuofang Medical College.

Shuofang Medical College has been committed to cultivating battlefield treatment since its establishment, and has cultivated talents for medicinal materials. After years of war in Shuofang, there are many orphans and widows. These people join the medical school and get free food and lodging. Everyone pays more attention.

Relatively speaking, battlefield treatment and medicinal planting are very simple, so there are many personnel, and Chang'an Medical College has eliminated those with poor grades, and they are also learning these two subjects. After several years of development, more than 3000 women, girls, and teenagers have been killed. Arranged to various troops.

And because Nanzhao has the good advice to stop bleeding Sanqi, so there are many people who try to plant in Shu and make medicines. During the Tubo invasion, all these doctors were recruited, so that all the soldiers in Songzhou got good treatment, and let Many people who were seriously injured and waiting to die survived, all because of doctors and good medicine to stop bleeding.

On the contrary, Tubo is much worse. Although the slaves are not regular soldiers, nearly [-] casualties still make Gar Dongzan feel distressed, but this is also a helpless move. If these slaves continue to remain in the tribe, Songtsan Gampo If you want to weaken the place, you will encounter big trouble. This time, killing people with a knife is also considered waste utilization.

Gar Dongzan was able to assist Songtsan Gampo to unify Tubo at a young age. He was naturally not a kind person. He was able to achieve such great results in just two years. Stealing secretly, sowing discord, doing everything possible, with a lot of blood on his hands.
