Chapter 165: Summary of the Battle of Shanzhou City
Looking at the hard-won victory, the remnants of Zuo Wuwei's army let out a miserable laugh.
Laughing and laughing, the bear squatted on the ground and cried.
Crying confused.
No one thought that Xiong Yanfu would be like this.
After fighting for so long, I haven't seen Xiong Yanfu, a killing god, like this.
Others don't understand, but Li Xingzhou does, because he, like Xiong Yanfu, can't be happy at all.
"Big bear, don't cry, don't let people see it, they will laugh at us!"
Li Xingzhou was also crying, he was crying in his heart, the once mighty Zuowu Guard, at this time there were only less than a thousand remnants left, including his own personal guards.
It can be said that after this battle, Zuo Wuwei's 5,000 people can be regarded as dead and wounded.
Who can rejoice in such a situation, they are alive, but many more are dying.
By the time the expedition began, the five thousand men had already been eight out of ten.
How miserable the victory was, not to mention that it was not a victory now.
The two armies converged, and Liu Tao said coldly:
"Zhang Bi, you lead the Eagle Yangwei, Murong Shun, you lead the Flying Bear Guard, you two lead the troops to pursue as planned, you must not let the Tubo army have a chance to reorganize, Zuo Wuwei and Zuo Tunwei immediately return to Shanzhou to rest. Anything will be said after this battle is over. ”
"Why are you chasing the enemy? Liu joins the army, what are you thinking? ”
Xue Chuyu shouted.
Liu Tao roared:
"Shut up! I know that Zuo Wuwei and Zuo Tunwei have killed many brothers in battle, but I still have to think about the brothers who are alive! I know you're sad, but I don't even have the time and qualifications to be sad! ”
Xue Chuyu shouted.
"What do you have to be sad about?"
"It's not that you're guarding Shanzhou, you don't have to watch so many brothers fall in front of you. Do you think I don't know what to consider as a guard? ”
"As a general, every dead warrior is just a number! It's numbers, not lives! What do you have to be sad about? It's us, not you, who is sad! ”
Liu Tao looked at Xue Chuyu, blood was still oozing from his injured body.
He just stared blankly, but didn't say a word.
Liu Tao sighed.
"Fifth general, Cheng Tingshi has gone."
Xue Chuyu was stunned.
"What did you say?"
Zhang Bi turned his horse's head sideways and began to command the troops to pursue the fleeing troops, and said coldly.
"Xue Chuyu, you are a good man, but you better understand one thing, Cheng Jianshi was killed, Liu joined the army more painfully than you, and the most painful thing for him is that he must now forget all the things that make him sad, including your accusations."
"The only thing he wants to do now is to get everyone alive and out of this hellish place. So, you'd better respect him as you used to do it and how you will continue to respect him in the future. Otherwise, I Zhang Bi won't let you go. Murong Shun, let's go. ”
Eagle Guard and Flying Bear Guard went, chasing after the enemy's defeated army.
There are still only Zuo Wuwei and Zuo Tunwei in Shanzhou, and what they add is the corpses of countless war dead.
Liu Tao looked at Xue Chuyu and said slowly.
"Cheng Assassin Shi went, Zuo Xiaowei's entire army was annihilated, and there was a major setback in the plan to attack Tubo."
"Now we can only do our best and obey the destiny of heaven, and the blood of Zuo Wuwei and Zuo Tunwei soldiers will not be shed in vain."
"Until then, I need you to calm down. Now, you take Zuo Wuwei and Zuo Tunwei brothers back to the Pingxi camp, what you need most is rest and recuperation, not anger and accusation. ”
Xue Chuyu was silent.
He took Zuo Wuwei and Zuo Tunwei to retreat silently, his eyes full of melancholy and confusion.
The joy of victory was diluted to the point of vanity, replaced by the same loss and despair that preceded the arrival of reinforcements.
......
It's twilight.
A misty drizzle began to fall in the sky, moistening the earth and seeping through the mud.
On the battlefield within a radius of ten miles, the blood soaked the earth, corpses were everywhere, and there were stumps and fragments everywhere, it was simply a Shura hell.
Li Xingzhou walked alone on this flesh and blood killing field.
As far as the eye can see, everywhere there are the remains and limbs of dead people.
He grabbed a handful of dirt from the ground, and when the wind sprinkled it, what remained in the palm of his hand was a bloody red.
In this battle, too many people have died.
......
At this moment, Li Xingzhou looked at the blood-stained soil under his feet.
The wind blew, and the twisted faces of the dead and wounded severely irritated his nerves.
The arrow wound in his left arm also caused him unbearable pain.
At that moment, he looked up to the sky and shouted.
"God, I, Li Xingzhou, will never admit defeat to you!"
"Did you see that? You brought me into this world, and I want to change the world! ”
"So here I am! I, Li Xingzhou, am a dragon trapped in the shallows, but not a dragon dead shallows! ”
"So I'm not going to die! If the destiny is good for me, I will listen to it! If it doesn't work for me, I'll use it! I did it! I did it! If I were the dragon. ”
"Then one day, I'll bound this damn cage! This world of the sea and the sky will let me Li Xingzhou gallop vertically and horizontally! ”
......
Including the Tibetan people, but also including their own people.
From sunrise to sunset, Eagle Guard and Flying Bear Guard spend almost all of their time in pursuit and strangulation.
They didn't experience a single decent revolt.
Now, at sunset, there are no living Tubo soldiers on the battlefield in Shanzhou.
Tens of thousands of corpses lay across the land, their eyes wide open.
Death doesn't understand what happened or why it was like this.
In this battle, Eagle Guard and Flying Bear Guard didn't kill many enemies.
The rout that really caused the death of the Tibetan warriors was caused by chaos.
trampling each other in the crowding, trampling their own people to death.
If you look at it, all the way to the west, the mountains are full of the figures of the defeated soldiers of Tibet.
They fled like refugees, and behind them were the cavalry of the Eagle Guard and the Flying Bear Guard, and they must not be stopped.
At the same time, it was also the most hurried and unprepared offensive and defensive battle.
The offensive and defensive sides did not make sufficient preparations for the battle for the city, and the use of various equipment was primitive and old, imitating that it had returned to the most primitive combat state.
And then there is an extremely important point.
This battle was the heaviest battle for Xue Chuyu.
It was also the worst time for Li Xingzhou to come to this world.
Nearly 5,000 Zuo Wuwei and 30,000 Zuotun Guard soldiers killed about 3,000 people in the seven-day siege battle.
After this great battle, there were less than 5,000 men left.
And all of them are wounded, and at least a third of them are afraid that it will be difficult to go to the battlefield again within a month.
Others will die in agony from their injuries.
The sun is shining, but it can't bring a trace of warmth, on this vast plateau.
The northwest wind howled.
A group of Tang soldiers were walking slowly, walking on this white snow, like a long black snake.
Li Xingzhou wrapped the cloak on his body, and inadvertently touched the wound on his right shoulder, and a wordless pain welled up.
Seeing that Li Xingzhou's face was a little pale, Da Xiong said with concern.
"Brother Yan, what's the matter, the wound hurts, or don't you follow!"
"Big Bear, it's okay, I can still stand this little injury!"
Li Xingzhou shook his head, he always had to go to the Yalong River Valley this time,、。
Go and pay homage to the dead Tang soldiers, and help them collect the corpses by the way.
The Yalong River Valley, at this time, was quiet, the soldiers looked at the scene in front of them, in addition to shock is anger, this charred mountain of corpses seems to be the mockery of the Tang Dynasty by the Tubo people.
Days passed, and the charred corpses had long since frozen, and the blood on the ground had turned into patches of black spots.
These dead Tang soldiers may never be able to return home, because they can no longer recognize their original appearances.
It is said that the brocade does not return to the hometown, just like the brocade clothes at night.
Then the same is true now, the dead do not bury their hometown, like a fish swimming in fire.
The curtain of the sky, the wound of the earth, the decay of the fallen leaves, the zero of winter.
Armor is on the body, dead like a falcon, and dust.
Transcendence is kindness in a thought.
It is as quiet as a demon domain, and crows do not inhabit.
The Dead Soul has turned the Aron Valley into a Death Canyon, and the tranquility has made it lifeless.
Cheng Boxian's body was also found.
The seriously injured Zhu Wenzheng knelt on the ground, refusing everyone's support.
There is pain, but there are no tears.
Because after crying, you have to choose to be strong.
"General, Zhu Sanzi is here to pick you up."
"Don't worry, general, Zhu Sanzi will take you home!"
Going home, what a simple thing, but at this time it has become so precious, Cheng Boxian can still go home.
But the others will never be able to return home, but they will still be taken away, because even if they die, they will be buried in the land of the Tang Dynasty.
"Yalong River Valley, Luoqi City, this will one day become the land of my Tang Dynasty!"
Li Xingzhou gritted his teeth.
He hated those who were high up and remembered mercy, and when they showed benevolence and generosity, the Tang army had to pay countless deaths.
For the sake of their hypocritical righteousness, the soldiers had to suffer such great sacrifices.
Xue Chuyu hopes that Duomi can truly belong to the Tang Dynasty, not in name.
"Fifth general, don't worry, this day will come soon, if you conquer and kill, then I would like to become a butcher!" Li Xingzhou's face was grim and he looked at the west leisurely.
There is Tibet, there is Tianzhu, there is heaven.
If the butcher can't go to heaven, then what about going to hell, Li Xingzhou believes that as long as 10,000 people support it.
That is, if you go to hell, you will stir up a storm.
......
This battle was the heaviest casualty battle since Xue Chuyu joined the army.
It was also the worst time for Li Xingzhou to come to this world.
Although he played the military miracle of "Li Xingzhou broke Shanzhou in the snowy night", it is also a long-lasting topic in the Datang teahouse restaurant and Qinglou in the next few decades.
and the song "Eight Cups of Wine" once became the military song of the Tang Dynasty Border Army.
But some of the best veterans also died in the battle.
Cheng Boxian, the general of Liangzhou Assassin and Zuo Xiaowei, died in battle, he was the leader of the young generation of the Tang Dynasty, the future pillar of the Tang Dynasty, and his Zuo Xiaowei was the elite of Liangzhou's financial and material resources for more than ten years.
The defeat of Zuo Xiaowei means that Liangzhou will no longer have any soldiers to fight in the next ten years.
There is no longer energy to build the strength of elite cavalry.
Zuo Xiaowei was completely defeated, and the two thousand veterans who finally escaped strongly supported Zuo Xiaowei's name.
Zuo Tunwei Zuo General Shi Dingwu was killed, he was a veteran of Xue Rengui's era and Xue Chuyu's best helper.
Zuo Tunwei is disabled.
There are only more than 3,000 of the 30,000 Zuotun guards left, and they can't maintain their combat effectiveness at all.
In fact, when Xue Chuyu returned to the Shanzhou camp, he was pushed to the end by the angry Xue Ne.
Together with Guo Xian, he returned to Ezhou with the remnants of Zuo Tunwei for adjustment, and did not appear on the turbulent stage of Datang for several years in the future.
Gao Xiang, the general of the Eight Prefectures of Zuo Wuwei, and Wang Yuanji, the general of the Ten Provinces, were killed.
Lin Yun, the general of the Seven Mansions, lost his left arm, and Yan Shun, the general of the Nine Mansions, was seriously injured and blind in one eye.
The rest of the generals were hardly unharmed.
The battalions were almost completely dead, and there were more than a thousand people left. Less than five hundred people are truly complete.
......
As for Tibet, it is even worse.
The Tibetan army that was raided by the Eagle Yang Guard and the Flying Bear Guard
Except for the army led by Hayabusa, there were no more than 10,000 soldiers killed by Eagle Yangwei and Flying Bear Guard.
But 20,000 people trampled on each other and died.
In the following three consecutive days of pursuit, the army fled wildly, and was killed and wounded by the pursuing army.
In the end, fewer than 30,000 people escaped the battle alive.
Liu Tao ordered Ying Yangwei and Fei Xiongwei to soar all the way, seeing that they were almost in the central region of Tubo before they let go.
He had no choice but to pursue, otherwise if Tubo had a chance to rest and reorganize, he would actually be killed, and there were not more than 100,000 people, only 20,000 people.
It's just that the cavalry scattered all over the mountains blurred their vision.
......
But no one can deny that it was the Battle of Shanzhou that laid a solid foundation for the Eagle Yangwei and the Flying Bear Guard to crisscross the Tubo region, which is of great significance.
This time, Tubo committed the Tang Dynasty.
Daxiangqi took Zhudan, ordered Yuzebu and Kundayan to lead more than 100,000 people each.
Uozawabu led the Duodai Goei and Akikura Goe.
There are 50,000 people left in Duodai, 50,000 and 20,000.
The Zhuo family's Wei Luozhe and the first Tibetan warrior Turge were killed.
What's more critical is that the five guards of Qiucang did not suffer the slightest loss except for the annihilation of Dabuni's entire army.
It is conceivable that in the coming period.
The Akikura Goe, who has a hard waist, will ask for more and more say more and more.
And among them, there is the catalyst that Li Xingzhou put down - Dabuni.
The 100,000 army led by Kun Dayan, although with the help of Youge, strangled Cheng Boxian's 30,000 Zuo Xiaowei.
But the coach of the Ba family, Kundayan and Nahoru, were killed.
60,000 people were killed.
The remnants of the troops, led by Da Bunie of the Gar clan and Falcon Ce, a clansman of Kun Dayan, who were not easily co-opted by the great Zanpu of Rinchen Gang, fled frantically.
The 200,000 Tibetan army was defeated, and the remaining more than 100,000 people with their own ghosts made the eastern part of Tubo almost no longer able to compete with the Pingxi army.
Fate is always so turbulent, and a battle of Shanzhou City directly reversed the advantages and disadvantages of the Tang Dynasty and Tubo.
We can't be sure if this is a good deal or not.
But for Zuo Wuwei and Zuo Tunwei's surviving soldiers, life may be able to continue.
For the dead warriors, it is meaningless to die.
