As the Tang infantry phalanx approached step by step, the Tibetan captives who were afraid of being stabbed to death had to retreat to the rear with all their strength, and the last Tibetan captives were squeezed out in rows and fell into the pit. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The three Charlies, who were hiding next to the rolling logs on the city wall, finally understood, and Tony said in surprise: "My God, the Tang army is slaughtering barbarian prisoners, they want to force all these captives into the big pit, and if they don't go in, they will be killed!" ”

Charlie immediately covered Tony's mouth and whispered, "Damn, do you want to kill us?" Don't be so loud! ”

Tony nodded hurriedly, Charlie let go of his hand, and said: "I heard that there are more than 100,000 barbarians on the plateau, yesterday they were partially routed by the cavalry raid led by the general of the Tang Army, killing more than 20,000 people, these barbarian captives should have been captured yesterday, although the barbarians were partially defeated, but their losses are nothing compared to more than 100,000 people, I guess the barbarian army will definitely come to attack the city again, I have observed in the past two days, the number of Tang troops here is only about 15,000 people, Among them, 5,000 are still cavalry, and only 10,000 can really be used to defend the city, if you want to guard so many prisoners, you must divide a part of the force, and the commander of the Tang army must have guessed that the barbarian army will definitely come to attack the city again, so he decided to kill these prisoners and eliminate the destabilizing factors! ”

Jason said indignantly: "Those barbarians really deserve to be killed, wherever they go, there is no grass and no chickens and dogs, it is simply a destruction of civilization!" ”

Tony couldn't help but sneer when he heard Jason say this: "Hey, Jason, you seem to be a knight who claims to be a gentleman, but don't forget what we're here to do in the East this time!" The papermaking process in your arms was snatched from the craftsmen of the Tang Empire! Compared to these barbarians, you are not much noble! ”

Jason said angrily: "I'm not the only one who is employed, isn't it your credit?" Even if you don't take the money, you've done it! ”

Charlie heard the two arguing, and had to stop it: "Enough, don't you all want to live, if you attract the attention of the Tang soldiers, we will die!" ”

The three of them looked out of the city wall again, the Tibetan prisoners were forced by the Tang infantry little by little into the big pit, the big pit is several zhang deep, and the pit wall is straight and smooth, after falling in, they can't climb up in a short time, even if they climb up, the Tang soldiers next to the big pit will use their spears to stab the Tibetan prisoners who climbed up to death.

It didn't take long for a full 1,000 Tibetan prisoners to be squeezed into the pit, and most of the others were killed by the Tang army, and then the Tang army threw a corpse into the pit, and the captives who fell into the pit were quickly killed by the Tang army around the pit with bows and arrows, and then the Tang soldiers entered the pit and took back the arrows that were shot.

After the 1,000 captives were killed, another 1,000 captives were soon escorted over, and the Tang army still adopted the same method to kill the second group of Tibetan prisoners, each time it took less than a quarter of an hour to solve all of them, and the time was very accurate, more than 6,000 Tibetan prisoners were all dealt with in less than an hour and a half, and after the last group of prisoners were driven out of the big pit, the Tang army was too lazy to release arrows, and directly began to fill in the soil and bury all the Tibetan prisoners in those big pits.

Seeing that the pit with a length of 100 meters and a width of 100 meters was filled in, and thousands of Tibetan prisoners were buried in it, Charlie, Tony, and Jason, who were hiding in a corner of the city wall and peeking out, all turned pale and trembled.

At this time, there was a sudden shout from behind him: "What are you three doing here?" Stand up! ”

Charlie and the three of them were suddenly startled, their expressions changed greatly, and their hearts were finished and they were discovered by Tang Jun! The three of them slowly stood up, lowered their heads, and turned their senses.

The captain of the patrol looked at the three tall and burly soldiers with their heads down and frowned, and shouted, "Which battalion are you three from?" ”

In order to get the manufacturing process and formula of papermaking, Charlie and the three of them mixed in Datang for more than half a year, Charlie learned some Chinese, understood some, but it was not very good, he could only speak some daily language, and after listening to the question of the Tang military captain, he had to say casually: "The third battalion!" ”

"Third Battalion?" Hearing this, the wrinkles on his forehead deepened, and his vigilance grew, and he said, "Isn't it the turn of the third battalion to be on duty yet?" Lift your heads up! ”

Charlie and the other three felt cold in their hearts when they heard it, it's over, it's really over now, as long as Tang Jun sees their appearances, they will all be exposed, but what else can they do at this time?

Jason lowered his head and asked Charlie anxiously, "Charlie, what now?" If you look up, you'll be discovered, or will we kill it? ”

Beads of sweat appeared on Charlie's forehead at this time, and he just thought of several countermeasures in his mind in a moment, but none of them were suitable, and after listening to Jason's words, he asked rhetorically: "Do you think we have the possibility of escaping?" ”

The captain of the city patrol couldn't wait, he couldn't understand what Charlie was muttering, and immediately shouted: "Lao Tzu asked you to raise your heads, are you all deaf?" Do you want Lao Tzu to ask someone to ask you to raise your head? ”

Charlie said: "When you look up, raise your hands, don't try to resist, if we resist we will definitely die, if we don't resist, maybe we still have a chance to live!" ”

Tony said: "Do we just leave life and death in the hands of Tang Jun?" ”

"Stop talking nonsense, if we do that, we'll be killed in no time!" Charlie slowly raised his head after speaking, and raised his hands, trying to show himself a harmless smile.

"Xiyi golden retriever and blue-eyed man?" The captain of the city patrol was taken aback when he saw the appearance of Charlie and the other three, and immediately pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Come on, surround me!" ”

Seven or eight Tang Army soldiers behind him immediately held shields and horizontal knives to surround Charlie's three people in the middle, Charlie hurriedly smiled and said: "Everyone, everyone, don't do it, don't do it, we have no malicious intentions!" ”

The captain of the patrol city separated the two Tang soldiers in front of him and looked at the three Charlies, and saw that they were wearing Tang army armor, if it weren't for the fact that their appearance, hair and eyes were different from those of the Central Plains, it would be really difficult to distinguish, after all, there were not only Han people in the Tang army, but also many soldiers from other ethnic minorities.

"No malice? What do you want when you come to the city wall in our armor? ”

Charlie sneered: "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, we're just curious, curious, so that's it!" ”

The captain of the patrol city sneered: "Are you okay with me as a three-year-old child? Come on, tie up these three golden retrievers! ”

Ropes and shackles were essential tools for the soldiers who patrolled the city, and they were carried with them so that they could catch the soldiers who were lazy or neglectful of their duties on the city walls at any time, and now this thing was not used on the soldiers of the Tang Army, but on the three Westerners.

After a while, Charlie and the three of them were tied up in a strong knot, the weapons, bows and arrows and shields of the three people were taken away, and all the money and items on their bodies were also searched.

Jason said with a sad face: "It's over, as long as the process and formula of papermaking are found, they will definitely kill us!" ”

Charlie whispered, "Don't worry, it's written in Latin, and most people don't know Latin characters!" The people of the Tang Kingdom don't know what is written on it, and they won't rashly dispose of us! ”

Tony was surprised: "When are you going to ······?"

Charlie smiled bitterly: "I was worried that I would be searched when I passed the checkpoint, and I found a Byzantine merchant in Chang'an and translated it into Latin!" ”

Jason said, "You're not going to kill that Byzantine merchant, are you?" ”

Charlie didn't answer, obviously already admitted, Jason shook his head and said, "I can't imagine that you are more ruthless than me!" ”

"If he hadn't copied a copy, I wouldn't have killed him!"

The captain of the city patrol opened the stack of papers in his hand, only to see that there were dense tadpole words written on it, and some inexplicable pictures, and saw Charlie and the three muttering in a low voice, and immediately shouted: "Say, what is written on it?" ”

Charlie rolled his eyes and said, "Your Excellency, General, we are merchants from the Byzantine Empire, and this is the account book for our business!" ”

"Byzantine merchants? Books? The captain of the city patrol looked at a few blank pieces of paper in his hand again, then looked at Charlie and the others, and snorted coldly: "You are a businessman in this way?" Hmph, don't think I'm so foolish! Come on, take away! ”

"Let's go!" The soldiers of the Tang Army pushed Charlie and the other three forward, and followed behind the captain of the city patrol.

Tony asked in a low voice as he walked, "Charlie, where do they want to take us to?" We're not going to be buried alive like those barbarians, are we? Oh God, I don't want to die that badly? ”

Jason said, "You still want to die a bang?" Don't be funny, that's what you want, they won't let you die a bang, maybe we'll be brutally killed! ”

Charlie said in a low voice: "It shouldn't be, we are not those barbarians, we are from the West, they should not kill us casually before they find out our identity, Tang is the most civilized country in the East!" ”

"You know, it's wartime, anything can happen!"

It didn't take long for the captain of the city patrol to escort Charlie and the three of them to Zhao Ziliang, who was inspecting the city's defense affairs, "Marshal Qiqi, these three Xiyi people disguised themselves as our soldiers and hid on the city wall to peek outside the city wall, and the general suspected that they were the fine work of the Tubo people!" So I caught them, and what was found from them, as well as these pieces of paper with strange words and pictures written on them! ”

Zhao Ziliang turned his head and smiled: "Yo, I didn't expect that three distinguished Western guests came to our poor and remote place, and they dared to ask Mr. Sanwei's surname?" ”

Charlie and the three looked at each other, and Charlie said embarrassedly: "I'm Charlie, this is Tony and Jason, we are actually merchants of the Eastern Roman Empire, do you know the Eastern Roman Empire?" That's what you call Whisk! (To be continued.) )
