The battle lasted until the afternoon, the Tubo army gradually could not support it, and was divided into small pieces by the morale of the Sui soldiers, many Tubo soldiers began to flee, and what was left behind was not that they did not want to escape, but were divided and outflanked by the enemy in all directions, and fell into a heavy encirclement, giving them the feeling that the Sui army seemed to soar ten times or a hundred times at once.

Until now, even the Xiangxiong soldiers have joined the war, and the soldiers of the Sui army leading the coalition army will naturally not increase, but because the soldiers of the Sui army have successfully annihilated a group of trapped beasts and joined the stubborn battle, they have given the illusion that the number of enemy troops in the Tubo soldiers has skyrocketed.

Under the desperate protection of the guards, Dazan Gampo fought his way out, broke away from the battlefield in embarrassment, and joined Lu Dongzan in one place, they looked at the gradual Tubo army, and closed their eyes in pain.

Defeat is like a mountain!

They were utterly defeated.

Although the victory or defeat of a battle can not say anything, the Sui Dynasty could not wipe out their Tubo at once, but this battle, but the Tubo elite soldiers were completely consumed, their 70,000 elite soldiers from the eastern battlefield, plus the loss of 30,000 elite soldiers in Jishi Pass, 50,000 on Keer, has lost 150,000, the Tubo Kingdom is empty, and now the remaining elite soldiers are the 40,000 led by Da Lun Niang Shang Nang into the Tang Dynasty, as for the 30,000 soldiers led by Langri Zampu himself, it is still a miscellaneous army, but these add up, It is already all the belongings of Tibet. What's more, this battle has given the Xiangxiong Kingdom confidence, and in the future, these people will be the same as the Sui army, no longer afraid of the might of the Tubo people, and after this series of defeats, the Tubo soldiers will also have a strong sense of frustration in their hearts, lose confidence in Zampu, and be full of awe for the Sui Dynasty......

Surrounded by hundreds of pro-soldiers, Lu Dongzan suddenly knelt on the ground, buried his head deep in the soil stained with the blood of the Tibetan warriors, and wept bitterly.

He suddenly raised his head, tears streaming down his face, and he raised his hands high and cried out to the snowflakes flying in the sky: "O gods! Have mercy on the Tibetan warriors... Thousands of mistakes are my fault, if you want to punish me, punish me Lu Dongzan..."

This moment!

Unwillingness, loss, guilt, remorse, despair and other emotions filled Lu Dongzan's entire heart.

Why did Tubo become enemies of the Great Sui?

Isn't it because of his Lu Dongzan?

It was he who was unwilling to be humiliated after returning from Luoyang...... With unparalleled eloquence, he persuaded Zampu and Wenchen military generals with a mouthful of words.

The Tibetan monarchs and ministers were overturned by him and bewitched by him? It opened the door to the enemy of the Great Sui and the door to rout.

At this moment? He finally came to his senses.

He thinks he is Zhao Kuo on paper, no? He Lu Dongzan is not qualified to compare with Zhao Kuo at all? Because Zhao Kuo was cut off from food and there were no reinforcements from outside, he was able to support him for forty-six days? But he can't even do it for half a day, what is the reason?

Is it that he has not even commanded a campaign of tens of thousands of people? Take today's war? In the case of any future commander with combat experience in the Great Sui, he would not be like him, after being harassed for a night, in the situation of pursuing soldiers behind, he would still take the initiative to attack? To go to a decisive battle with the main enemy army? This is a great mistake of not knowing oneself; Second, they don't know the other, not to mention the weapons and equipment of the Sui army, that is, they don't even know how many soldiers and horses the Sui army has, and they simply arbitrarily think that the Sui army is not suitable for the plateau climate, and arbitrarily think that the morale of the Sui army is not high? So he came with a tired army. Therefore, he is not as good as Zhao Kuo, who has been fighting hard for more than 40 years.

At the most? can only be compared with Ma Tan who lost the street pavilion.

He is as smart as Ma Yan, and he has been praised too tall and too tall since he was a child? Makes him arrogant and empty-eyed, but he has no talent? But lack of sufficient training opportunities? From the very beginning, he assisted Lang Ri Zamp as a staff member? I have never decided on any major matter, so I am arrogant to think that I can do everything.

And the result of his arrogance and ignorance is that he sacrificed tens of thousands of Tibetan warriors and the thriving national fortune of Tibet.

"Prince, General Geer, quickly retreat, retreat to the east to join Zampu." Meng Zhong, who was covered in blood, rushed to the defeated army with more than 1,000 remnants, anxiously urging them to evacuate.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! The big drum of the Sui army's all-out counteroffensive rumbled, the drum shook the heavens and the earth, the morale of the Sui soldiers and Xiangxiong soldiers was high, and the final battle was launched, and the Tubo army was defeated on all fronts. The Sui army and the Xiangxiong soldiers covered and killed dozens of miles all the way behind, until the defeated army of Tubo was killed and wounded, the corpses piled up like mountains, and the blood stained the earth.

The snowflakes grew bigger and bigger, overwhelming the earth, and the sky and the earth became gray. Even a thin layer of ice has formed on top of the Yellow River, but it can't hide the land on the shore. Just because the autonomous battlefield was to the east, the corpses of Tibetan soldiers were thrown all the way, and there were countless blood puddles everywhere on the ground.

。。。。。。。

It's going to be twilight.

The war on the main battlefield has long ended, and there are Sui soldiers who are cleaning the battlefield everywhere, they use stretchers to carry wounded soldiers and corpses, escort prisoners of war, count horses and weapons and equipment, and there are many crossbowmen who are collecting iron arrows of honeycomb crossbows, these iron arrows cost 800 yuan to build one, and a thousand honeycomb crossbows cost 24,000 yuan for a single shot, no matter how strong the national strength can not withstand this crazy consumption, so collecting iron arrows is an important task after the war second only to searching and rescuing the wounded.

At this time, the battalion had also lit thousands of torches, illuminating the drowsy battalion as if it were day, and the soldiers of the Ninth Army who remained behind and the soldiers who returned to the camp one after another did not rest, and hurriedly carried their own casualties back to the camp tent on stretchers, and there was a busy scene everywhere.

More than a dozen butter waxes have also been lit in the big tent, and Du Ruhui, Xue Wanshu, Xiangxiong King Li Mixia and more than a dozen civilian officials and skilled craftsmen are studying something in front of the pile of armor handed over from the Tubo army.

At this time, a soldier shouted from afar: "The Holy Lord has arrived." ”

Everyone hurriedly turned around, only to see Yang Tong, who was covered in blood, striding forward surrounded by dozens of Xuanjia soldiers, Du Ruhui hurriedly saluted from above, "See the saint!" ”

"See the Holy One."

"No courtesy." Yang Tong waved his hand and asked Du Ruhui, who was in charge of the damage to his own personnel, "Keming, what are the casualties of our army?" ”

"Back to the Holy Place, our army suffered more than 5,000 casualties, including more than 2,300 dead soldiers." After Du Ruhui finished speaking, he explained: "This is the number on the main battlefield. The Tibetan soldiers were already frightened, and there should be no casualties on the way to the chase. ”

"I know." Hearing this number, Yang Tong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This time, thanks to the honeycomb crossbow, the Tubo striker was caught off guard. Otherwise, the casualties of our army will increase by at least 30%. ”

The crowd agreed.

The honeycomb crossbow was a great force, annihilating a third of the enemy's forces in just a few rounds, which contributed greatly to this great victory.

Soon.

Niu Jinda also came back, he bowed down and said: "Congratulations to the Holy Lord, this great victory, the casualties in Tubo are extremely heavy, in the end only three or four thousand people escaped, our army captured more than 21,000 people, and the remaining more than 30,000 people were killed, and there were no wounded soldiers." ”

When everyone heard the words "no injured soldiers", they couldn't help laughing, the Tubo soldiers were wearing leather armor, under the blow of the Sui army, I am afraid that there are wounded soldiers and seriously wounded, what are these going to do? He must have been stabbed to death by the soldiers who cleaned up the battlefield.

"In addition, he also seized war horses, weapons, bows and arrows, and according to the style of the Holy Lord's foreign warfare, the corpses of the Tubo people were built in the north of the battlefield to build a Jingguan, if that Langri Zampu knew, I am afraid that he would hate us to the core." Niu Jinda said again.

Yang Tong smiled and nodded, he is actually not an extreme ethnic element, and he also supports the great integration of nationalities, but the problem is that others are not only not grateful, but treat the Great Sui as fish and meat.

What can he do?

I had to use the six arts of the gentleman to defeat the ferocity of the alien race who was brave and good at fighting, and then to educate them with loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, which is the best way to make them obedient, singing and dancing.

Otherwise, who listens to your twittering.

"Convey the results of Jishi Pass, Doma Town and today's battle to the headquarters of the Sanmishan Silk Road Alliance, and let the permanent representatives of the member countries bring this news back to China, so that the people of all countries know that Tubo is not so terrible, and that Tubo is nothing in front ......of my Great Sui Xiongshi," Yang Tong commanded.

"Holy Wisdom!"

Du Ruhui immediately understood Yang Tong's meaning, after these three wars, the Tubo elite soldiers were exhausted, not to mention, from the myth of invincible and invincible fell to the dust, the prestige and strength of Tubo have all plummeted, such as Ni Boluo, Zhangxiong, Big and Small Bolu, Daughter Country, which has been suppressed by Tubo for too long, only the country of promise, once it heard that Tubo was defeated in the East, it will respond to the call of the Great Sui, and is ready to move, since then, the weak Tubo is afraid of fierce retaliation from various countries. And this method of 'borrowing strength to fight and using razing to defeat raze' is actually the second-step strategy drawn up for Tibet before the troops are dispatched.

"Fold and sentence abrupt." Lu Bu looked at the two generals among the generals: "I heard that you two are famous marksmen among the first Lingqiang and Tu everyone?" ”

"King Zhangxiong." Yang Tong said to Li Mixia: "The friendship between our two clans can be traced back to the Qin and Han dynasties, and now, you have come thousands of miles to help in the war, and I feel the sincerity of the Xiangxiong Kingdom. I hope that the two of us will take the lead in raising the friendship between the two communities to unprecedented heights, and that we will work together to eliminate all those who dare to undermine peace. ”

"Thank you for the importance of the Sage Khan, I, Zhangxiong, am willing to obey the orders of the Great Sui for generations, and the Sage Khan will definitely be loyal to the end if he has an order in the future." If before, Li Mixia just wanted to use the prestige of the Great Sui to save the country, fight for himself, and abandon it when he ran out, but at this moment, he was in awe and awe, without any resistance or use, the strength of the Great Sui Heroes and the sophistication of the weapons really made people feel desperate, and they didn't even dare to have the idea of being an enemy.

"I'm glad you think so. I can also feel your sincerity, and my Da Sui has always been courteous, and I will never treat my friends badly. Yang Tong said with a smile: "The few remaining troops in Tubo are concentrated on the border of my Great Sui, but the country is empty, and the tribes are like lambs to be slaughtered, you can go and loot the women, children, cattle and sheep of the Tubo people early tomorrow morning, and it is your ability to rob as much as you can, I don't want it, this is also my gift to Zhangxiong." ”

"Thank you, Saint Khan, for your generous gift." Li Mixia's heart was full of joy, this kind of thing he liked to do the most.

"The soldiers of Tubo can be handed over to the Great Sui to deal with, you can go through Tubo to return to China, and when you are free, you can go to Luoyang at any time as a guest." Yang Tong's eyes flashed with an imperceptible cold light, these aliens are all the way, they will never be of the same heart and mind as the Great Sui, when he is strong, he will be obedient, once you are weak, you will rush madly to take a bite, the so-called friendship can not be counted on at all, you are really strong yourself.

"Definitely, definitely." Li Mixia nodded again and again, and then said: "This time I came in a hurry, and it was a hurried march, Xiao Wang was not well prepared, so he only brought a thousand catties of white jade, green jade, and black jade rough stones from the country of Qu Sadana, and asked the sage Khan to laugh at it." ”

As he spoke, Li Mixia respectfully handed a string of jade bracelets of various colors to Yang Tong, "This bracelet is made of those jades." ”

Yang Tong took it and took a look, it was indeed a good jade, although it couldn't be seen as good, but the texture was very similar to many jade in the court, and he didn't have to think about it to know that it was the best jade, he nodded, "Then I will be disrespectful, wait for me to return to Luoyang, and let the Zhangxiong merchant bring some glass and glass products to you." ”

"Thank you." Li Mixia was even happier, he felt that compared with the exquisite glazed products of the Great Sui, these jade stones were not as good as one.

"......" Du Ruyan looked at this happy turtle speechlessly, and said in his heart: If you knew that the glazed products came from the mold that produced thousands of the same items, you should not be so happy.

At this time, Li Mixia couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Holy Lord, can I go and see the crossbow?" ”

Li Mixia's request, the Sui people present all looked sideways, and it was obvious that Li Mixia was too much.

Princess Zhangzhung Li Tuman also felt that her brother's request was inappropriate, and she coughed lightly to remind her brother that there were some things not to ask.

Yang Tong smiled slightly: "If King Xiangxiong is interested, you can go and see it yourself." ”

"Is this true of the Sage Khan?" Li Mixia was surprised and delighted, and her voice was full of disbelief.

"It's true." Yang Tong said to Xue Wanshu: "Xue Taishou, you take King Xiangxiong to have a look." ”

"Wechen obeys." Although Xue Wanshu, who was in line with the principle of not revealing his wealth, was unwilling, he had made a holy order and reluctantly left with a group of elephant males.

。。。。。。

"The Holy One is very far-sighted, but why did you just let the Elephant Male watch the honeycomb crossbow like this? This is a heavy weapon for the town. After the elephant male left, Du Ruhui frowned and asked in confusion.

"Do you think the Elephant Male can make it?" Yang Tong could feel the resentment in everyone's hearts and said with a smile.

Du Ruhui thought about it for a while, and said with some relief: "Many delicate mechanisms of the honeycomb crossbow are installed in the belly of the crossbow machine, and if you don't take it apart, you don't know what parts there are; And even if it is taken apart, it may not be made. ”

"That's one of them." Yang Tong said with a smile: "The key is that the overall skills of Xiangxiong are not good, even if we give the drawings of the honeycomb crossbow to Li Mixia in vain, they Xiangxiong will not be able to make it." First, they could not refine fine iron, secondly, they did not have skilled craftsmen, and even the most intuitive bowstrings and bows were studied on the basis of complex lance-making techniques, which they did not understand. There are hundreds of parts of the honeycomb crossbow, and each part requires countless processes, and without any link, it cannot be made. Another is the problem of cost, a honeycomb crossbow costs thirty catties of pig iron for a shot, and iron arrows are extremely difficult to build, every three can be successful, do you think Xiangxiong can afford it? ”

"Weapons and equipment are important to an army, but the key to success or failure is people, it depends on all aspects of the people on both sides of the war, if one side of the people is not happy, the soldiers have no will to fight, the courtiers are infighting, the civil and military are not compatible, and the monarch is mediocre, even if you give him 10,000 honeycomb crossbows, in the end his army will run away without firing a single stone." Speaking of this, Yang Tong said with a smile: "The honeycomb crossbow is a big killing weapon, if we hide it secretly, they will do everything possible to get the core secret, even so, it is better to show it generously." As long as they knew what it would take to fire an arrow once, they avoided it. ”

"Wechen understood." Du Ru [Begonia Book House fo] was thoughtful and nodded slowly.
