Chapter 344: Great War Seven

He forced all the guards to leave with great righteousness, looked at the cavalry cruising in the distance, prayed that someone could break through, and then 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 on his neck.

The leader of a powerful tribe committed suicide, paying for his bad decisions.

The two guards behind him who never left him also drew their knives and committed suicide, and the flag officer has always been a confidant, and the two of them also committed suicide with knives, and the other soldiers around them immediately dispersed.

"The leaves are dead! Wansheng! Liu Shili inadvertently found that there was no one under the Wild Leaf Protector, and immediately shouted happily.

"Leaf protection! Wansheng! The guards around Liu Shili hurriedly shouted.

As a group of them shouted, the other Datang soldiers heard it and shouted happily, and after a while, the entire battlefield resounded with huge cheers.

On the other hand, the Turks were all like a critic, many of them dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for surrender, and many began to flee in a hurry.

Defeat has long been doomed, once the rout is formed, the battle situation is irreparable, not to mention that the patriarchs have already fled and lack command, which makes the Turks fall faster.

Liu Shili and others are all generals who have already followed Li Yuan and Li Shimin, and after fighting the Eastern Turks, they rarely get a fight, this time is the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, or want to make their own titles, official positions to rise, add a big one in front of the general, and it is best to turn the county prince into a county duke.

Of course, for the sake of merit, the eyes are all red, looking at the Turks represents the official position, all those who did not kneel and beg to surrender, all killed, obviously defeated, no one shouted surrender, as if forgetting, staring at the rout of the army very tacitly.

As for Xue Rengui, although he has a lot of subordinates, his task is to prevent the enemy from escaping, of course, the only way is to kill the deserters, and in the face of the fleeing enemy, his subordinates will shoot them without commanding. What's more, there is still fighting in the center of the battlefield, and as the youngest leading general, he is naturally not qualified to order the surrender of the army.

Li Ji also found this situation in the telescope in the distance, of course he knows the thoughts of these people, in his opinion, there are enough Turkic people in the Tang Dynasty at present, especially young and strong, there is no harm in dying a little more, as for the prisoners, they will be captured in the future, and this battle plan will not be good if it is affected by too many prisoners.

After killing for a long time, the clever Turks also found out that they would not die if they knelt on the ground, so they knelt on the ground one after another, and almost all those who fled everywhere in a panic were killed.

However, there were many Turks, and the battlefield was all over the city of Shazhou, and they fled everywhere, and the battle ended until it was slightly dark, and the battlefield began to be cleaned.

Li Ji asked everyone to pick and choose, let the wounded stay, Xue Rengui continued to clean up the battlefield, guarding 50,000 prisoners, and then rushed to Yizhou with the rest of the people.

At the same time, Zhang Shigui with 50,000 elite infantry had already made a detour to block the retreat of the Turks in Yizhou, just waiting for the encirclement.

…………

In Songzhou, Gar Dongzan led 200,000 Tibetan troops to besiege the city, and of these 200,000 troops, only 50,000 were directly under Songtsen Gampo, and the others belonged to some tribes loyal to Songtsen Gampo.

Tubo has not been unified, until the young Songtsen Gampo ascended the throne, with the assistance of Gar Dongzan, only barely unified most of the region, this expedition, but also because of the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo nobles traded, in exchange for a large number of cattle and sheep, wheat, barley, so that the people's life is difficult, although most of the Tubo are slaves, but in the absence of food, slaves will also rebel.

The expedition to the Tang Dynasty was persuaded by Gar Dongzan, in order to divert domestic pressure and to consume the power of the tribe.

When he set out on the expedition, Gar Donzan promised everyone, and on this expedition, all the food and treasure looted were given to the tribes, and Zampu only had to take prisoners, especially the craftsmen.

Then they took all the slaves, and when they returned, they would be given a few sheep and a small piece of land of their own.

So this time, there are 100,000 slave death squads, and more than 100,000 weak women as logistics to take care of the sheep.

Tibet is a semi-farming, semi-nomadic people, when they go out, they will also bring a large number of cattle and sheep, fried wheat, barley, with cow and sheep milk, as food, very convenient and fast.

For the sake of wealth, the Tubo people launched a crazy attack on Songzhou at the beginning, especially the slaves among them, in order to have their own property, especially desperate, which made Li Xiaogong extremely stressed.

Even with the support of Niu Jinda, he is still busy running, but fortunately, there are 10,000 soldiers and 30,000 young and strong soldiers supported by Shuzhong, so that he can be stable, which fully reflects that the most terrible is not to die.

For three consecutive days, most of the Tibetan slaves were killed and wounded, and many soldiers were also killed and wounded, which eased the attack.

The Tibetan offensive was blocked, so Li Xiaogong adjusted the arrangement, but fortunately, after three days of intense offensive, many young and strong people became qualified soldiers.

After some adjustments, the defense gradually stabilized, but it brought a lot of casualties to Tibet, and there were not many deaths themselves, and the injured were also properly cared for, all thanks to Shuofang Medical College.

Since its establishment, Shuofang Medical College has been committed to cultivating battlefield treatment, and has been cultivating talents for medicinal herbs, and because Shuofang has been war-torn for many years, there are many orphans and widows, these people have joined the medical school, get free food and housing, and study more attentively than anyone else.

Relatively speaking, battlefield treatment and medicinal herb cultivation are very simple, so there are a lot of personnel, and Chang'an Medical College eliminated those with poor grades, and they are also learning these two subjects, after several years of development, there have been more than 3,000 women, girls, and teenagers have been arranged to the troops in various places.

And because Nanzhao has good words to stop bleeding, so in Shu to try to plant, there are more people who make medicines, this Tubo invasion, these doctors were all recruited over, so that all the soldiers in Songzhou have been well treated, but also let many people who were originally seriously injured and wait for death to survive, all because there are doctors, there are good medicines to stop bleeding.

On the contrary, Tubo is much more miserable, although the slaves are not regular soldiers, but nearly 100,000 dead and wounded, or make Gar Dongzan feel distressed, but this is also a helpless move, if these slaves continue to remain in the tribe, in the future Songtsen Gampo wants to weaken the place, it will encounter big trouble, this time to borrow a knife to kill, it is also considered a waste use.

Gar Dongzan was able to assist Songtsen Gampo in unifying Tibet at a young age, and naturally he would not be a kind person, and he was able to achieve great results in just two years, which can be said to be a clever means, using a lot of strategies, openly fighting and stealing, sowing discord, doing everything he could, and his hands were stained with a lot of blood.
