Chapter XXVII: The Humiliation of the Captives
A town that has been abandoned for several years has become a decent military village in just one day!
Even if she saw it with her own eyes, she couldn't believe her eyes, and she rubbed and rubbed them, and her eyes were swollen before she had to accept this fact. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
In his heart, he was thinking about how much manpower and material resources would be spent on the military village built on this day: 100,000? Or two hundred thousand?
There are only 30,000 people in Taozhou, and even if they all do, it is impossible to build such a military village overnight, right?
"Is it a bluff?"
Shang Zanpo suddenly thought of this, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, and led his soldiers to approach Guang'en Town. Such a strange thing, how can you be willing if you don't confirm it personally.
300 steps......
Two hundred steps......
One hundred and fifty steps......
The closer Shang Zanpo got closer, the heavier his heart became, where was the piece of stone and the piece of wood mixed with fake.
Seeing that he was about to walk a stone's throw away, Shang Zanpo had already determined that the military village opposite was not a simple decoration, but he really couldn't understand how this military village was built.
Just when he was racking his brains, more than a dozen black shadows flew from the opposite side, urgent and fast!
Before Shang Tsampo could react, the black shadow flew close and flew four feet away from him, and the wind blew like a knife, forcing him to open his eyes.
I heard a series of screams, and when I looked back, my eyes were torn: the warriors under my command fell under their horses in a row, and the huge crossbow arrows pierced the chests of fifteen people in one breath, shooting a row of valiant warriors on the saddle, and some of them did not even have a chance to shout.
More than a dozen crossbow arrows actually shot more than 100 of his soldiers......
The direction of the crossbow bolt is towards him, if it weren't for the lack of crossbow accuracy, I am afraid that he will die like more than a hundred soldiers.
The other party not only created such a military wall, but also had a strong crossbow to defend the city, and what was even more shameless was that the other party hid the strong crossbow in the dark and secretly attacked! It's just despicable, shameless.
Shang Zanpo only felt cold sweat, and complained bitterly in her heart, she knew that this was the case, she shouldn't have come here.
Pei Min saw that the winch crossbow shot was missed, and secretly screamed, "It's a pity."
The winch crossbow is the most common city guard crossbow in the Tang Dynasty, strong to twelve stones, open the bow with the axis to turn the car, there are seven arrows on the crossbow arm, the arrow road in the center rests a huge arrow, with the iron leaf as the feather, put three slightly smaller arrows on the left and right, all the arrows are fired together, unstoppable.
The winch crossbow was first brought by Pei Min from the military department to defend Taozhou.
Now that he occupied the town of Guang'en, he knew that it was more needed, so he transported the winch crossbow by water. He expected that the other party would definitely observe the military village at close range, so he specially hid two winch crossbows in the dark and attacked and shot. It's a pity that although the goal was achieved, it was just that this kind of strong crossbow crossbow crossbow was always a hard wound and did not hit the ideal target.
"I'll count one, two, three, you shout to me: It's hard all the way, it's good to go, don't send it!"
"One ......"
"Two ......"
"Three ......"
"It's good to have a hard time, it's easy to go, don't send it!"
Just when Pei Min said "two", Shang Zanpo had already decided to retreat after a short thought, the other party's army was tightly fortified, they had traveled a long way, the logistics supply was not available, and there were no siege equipment. Thinking of Pei Min's deeds of blocking Qili Xu, who was ten times his size, under the city of Jincheng with 6,000 weak government soldiers, he did not have the courage to fight.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard a chorus of shouts from the opposite side: "Okay, don't send it!" ”
The shouts of thousands of people rippled over the grassland, and the sound was heard everywhere.
Shang Tsangpo forcibly swallowed the words that came to his lips, and was depressed to death: he had never seen such a cunning and shameless person, and he would not even give him a way to retreat comfortably.
If he retreats now, wouldn't it be tantamount to being afraid of Pei Min? But if you don't retreat, can you still attack?
Between two fires!
Shang Zanpo gritted her teeth and said, "Withdraw!" Looking at Guang Enzhen indignantly, he thought, "The face I lost today will be taken back sooner or later." ”
Looking at the obedient retreat of the Tubo soldiers, Guangen Town reverberated with a hearty smile!
Seeing Shang Zanpo's military horses retreating, Pei Min also thought in his heart: "Sooner or later, one day, I will take back Shibao City!" He didn't know Shang Zanpo, but the only one who could reach Guang'en Town in one day was the Tubo army in Shibao City.
"Someone!" After Shang Zanpo left, Pei Min's face suddenly turned gloomy, and said: "Break the legs and arms of all the Tibetan captives, let them kneel outside the town in the direction of Taozhou, and let them repent!" After a pause, he suddenly thought that the Tibetan people believed in heavenly burial, and thought that it was a great honor for the body to be devoured by an eagle, and that if they were reincarnated again in the future, they would be like an eagle, and immediately said: "Send archers to watch from the side, and if there is a vulture eagle, shoot it directly." Even if they die, let them empty every piece of flesh on their bodies, not follow their wishes. ”
Under his order, nearly a thousand Tibetan captives broke their hands and feet one by one, and were forced to kneel outside Guang'en Town.
The news spread and caused an uproar in Tibet.
In the treatment of Tibetan prisoners, the Tang Dynasty has always been benevolent and righteous, even if it encounters a few ruthless people, it is just a matter of killing. Like Pei Min, there was no one who broke their hands and feet, made them kneel on the ground, and humiliated them.
In an instant, the Tibetan herdsmen in Jiuqu Land in Hexi were panicked.
**********
When Pei Min's triumphant recital news reached Chang'an, Li Longji was making a routine morning court, listening to the household department talking about the spring ploughing situation in various places.
The report of the border war is above all else, and it has the right to listen to it first.
When Li Longji heard Gao Lishi's summons, he immediately stopped the report from the household department and asked him to submit the report.
Li Longji looked at the report written by Pei Min himself, roughly scanned it, and saw that it was good news, and said happily, "Okay!" ”
After watching it again and again, I couldn't help it, and I watched it carefully, laughed and said to the ministers: "Pei Aiqing, I am really the pillar of the Tang Dynasty!" He was in office for only half a year, not only annihilated 6,000 Tibetan thieves, but also recaptured Guang'en Town and stationed the Shence Army in it. Haha, he built a military fortress in a day and a night, and now he is allocating funds to me, intending to repair Guangen Town as a stronghold of the Shence Army! Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think? ”
There are many visionaries among the civil and military officials.
Prime Minister Yao Chongwen and Wu were both civil and military, and he saw at a glance the significance of Guangen Town to the current Tang Dynasty, even if he and Pei Min were not on the right path, he had to say at this moment: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" Pei Tingshi occupies Guang'en Town, which can not only resolve the difficulties of Taozhou, but also coerce Hexi Jiuqu, which is really a great joy. Pei Thorn Shide has made such a miraculous feat, and he should be rewarded. As for allocating funds to repair Guang'en Town, it is a matter of course! ”
Li Longji laughed heartily and said: "I have been waiting for Pei Aiqing's application for funding to repair the upper sparseness of the military village, and there has been no movement. But I didn't want to, the request came to such good news, I can rest easy in the future! He never hid his appreciation and respect for Pei Min.
The civil and military officials are both envious and admired!
Above the court, the meritorious service is brilliant, and the laissez-faire is also outstanding.
Except for Pei Min, the entire Datang can't find a second person.
