What was found in front was a small tribe of Tibet, and when they saw the arrival of the Tang army, they immediately lost their cattle and sheep and plundered materials, and scattered them as birds and beasts. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Tibetans were backward, and except for the central army to break up the tribal definition and recruit troops, the rest of the units were dispatched in a tribal manner.

Both large and small tribes drove their own cattle, horses, and sheep to serve the Zampu (king) when they went out, so that the cattle, horses, and sheep were their rations, and they were not capable of organizing a large-scale supply team like the Central Plains Dynasty.

The supply of the tribe depends on the meat and milk of cattle, horses and sheep, and the second depends on looting, mainly on the meat and milk of cattle, horses and sheep, and they are not used to eating rice and noodles from the Central Plains.

Discarding thousands of cattle, horses and sheep in this way is a great loss to the tribe, but it is a quick opportunity.

Can you escape? The encirclement of the Tang army has already divided into two ways to move forward, and it will be encircled immediately!

They drove the horses, surging forward in circles, the sound of the horses' hooves became louder and louder, the horses galloped, the horses' hooves stepped on the ground, and the earth trembled.

The Tubo people clamped their tails and ran wildly!

Don't think that the nomads represent the hanging of my Central Plains Dynasty, the whip of the gods?! In fact, there are more nomads who have been bullied by our Central Plains Dynasty to hold down and beat them, the invincible Xiongnu have disappeared, the tyrannical Turks have perished, and countless nomads whose names have also disappeared in history.

The battle between Tubo and Dafeichuan in the Tang Dynasty is four to one, if you try it one-on-one!

The tent soldiers who fight professionally can still fight, and the Tubo people who are half-pastoral and half-soldiers meet the Tang army, and they will die if they run slowly!

The Tang army caught up!

Shooting the Tibetans in the back, the arrows killed them, and a row of arrows shot over, and the Tibetans fell in one piece.

In desperation, the Tibetans returned to fight.

As a result of the two sides' shooting, even if the hit rate of the two sides was the same, the Tang army's arrows and horses were only one-fifth of the Tubo.

Without it, the arrows of the Tubo people were too inferior, especially this small tribe, to penetrate the armor of the Tang army.

The Tibetans had no choice but to bow their bodies, use the horse's head as a cover, and desperately move forward, hoping that the two sides could meet each other in short combat.

Then shoot the horse!

The Tang army shot in a queue, swishing at the Tubo people, and the Tubo people came to clash, and they were all shot with hard bows.

They finally tasted the pain and horror of their shooting of innocent Tang people!

The horses fell to the ground with a bang, and when the embarrassed Tibetans finally got up from the ground, merciless arrows chased them and shot them down!

Shot the charging Tibetans, leaving more than 100 Tibetan elders, children and women!

Locally, the Tang army had the upper hand, so they all became prisoners, leaving one life to be sold as slaves.

Generally speaking, the old people in the role of production can only be used as grazing and cannot be sold for a few bucks, but there will not be many old people in the tribe, because the level of medicine at that time was poor and the life span was short.

When the children are sensible, they will have hatred for reducing them to slavery, so they will sell them to the outlying areas, not locally, and they will not be able to turn the sky upside down.

There are few beautiful women in Tibet, even if they are eighteen ugly women, the sun and wind on the plateau have sharpened their skin roughly,

All the slaves will be handed over to the slave merchants who accompany the army to sell, they do not belong to the army, and the purchase price is also ruthless, and the selling price is often more than three to four times the purchase price, but the Tang army does not need to bother to clean their hands and feet. Feng Xiaobao didn't like that his army was not so professional, thinking that the army's horses and infantry were only responsible for killing people, and the rest was left to professionals.

This tribe was not very large, and it did not grab much things, so the Tang army sent hundreds of people to escort slaves, cattle, horses, and sheep back to Tonghuang County, while the others continued their journey and headed for the northwest border.

Feng Xiaobao, a general of the imperial court stationed in Tonghuang County, led nearly 4,000 cavalry to sweep across the border like a hurricane, sweeping away all the tribes of the Tubo people.

They are all small tribes, there are not more than 1,000, they have not encountered much resistance, and the casualties are even more insignificant, but they have achieved more than 1,000 gains.

Tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, nearly 1,000 war horses, and thousands of Tubo people were reduced to slaves, which made the Tang army more satisfied.

Sure enough, all the people they met were small tribes in Tibet, not to mention Zampu, who had never been seen by the big officials in front of Zampu, and the order to Zampu or their own greed led them to invade the Tang Dynasty, and as a result, they hit their heads and broke their blood, contributing their own family to become prey.

The real Tibetan nobles, such as Changbayo, who did business with Feng Xiaobao, would never fight with Feng Xiaobao before the arrival of the country's tent soldiers, and there was no chance of winning, which is why he made a bet with Feng Xiaobao.

Changbayo's concerns were right, in addition to Feng Xiaobao's army, there were also local garrisons, wealthy families (such as the Tang family in Liangzhou) and local village soldiers composed of local people, all of whom were dispatched to sweep away the Tubo people.

Ordinary village soldiers are also equipped with horses, and their bows and arrows are sharper than those of the Tibetans!

Horses are produced here, almost the most powerful area of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tubo people invaded with ordinary tribes, which was to send grass into the horse's mouth!

The news spread like a plague among the Tibetans, and soon, the Tibetans stopped coming, and the warnings on the Hexi Road changed from a dozen wolf smoke to a few, and gradually stopped.

……

The place is quiet, there are not many wars, and even Tang Tian is bored to engage in a job that the children of the Tang family must do----- looking for horse breeds!

Feng Xiaobao was fortunate enough to visit, saw Tang Tian and some children of the Tang family, drove the livestock obtained from the Tubo people together, and then began to screen, mainly looking for horse breeds.

First of all, they choose spirited, strong horses, and they look at the horse's fur, bones, muscles, eyes, teeth, and so on.

There is an important indicator, and that is the wild nature of the horse!

Horses have been bred by humans, and their wildness has gradually faded, and while humans are easy to control, their quality is also degraded.

At this time, it is easy to introduce wild horses and improve the horse breed so that the quality of the horse can be maintained at a high level.

Strong, healthy, and wild horses were found in the primary selection, and then compared, for example, the horses were allowed to run and run with weights, and the best horse breeds were selected from them, and then brought back to the Tang family for breeding.

"You Hexi horses are all tall and big, what are you doing looking for this little horse?" Feng Xiaobao saw that the horses selected by Tang Tian this time were all short and stout, and couldn't help but ask.

He pressed the waist of a horse hard, with his strength, he was not an ordinary person, but the horse was very solid, but he felt uncomfortable but did not overwhelm him!

"Of course, they can't run fast, but the gravity, endurance and adaptability to the environment are better suited to survive on this plateau than Hexi horses!"

"Running fast on the plateau is not necessarily a good thing!" Tang Tian explained: "In addition to galloping horses, we also need to drive heavy horses and cultivate horses, they are the most suitable!" ”

"Got it!" Feng Xiaobao nodded.

There is no one-size-fits-all truth in this world, and the Hexi horse gallops in the endless prairie and open plains, but in the plateau environment, the Hexi horse runs in such a way that it is easy to break the horse's legs.

In fact, Feng Xiaobao fought with the Tubo people on the plateau, and the battlefields were all chosen, and he often found the grasslands on the plateau (there are still quite a few) to fight with the Tubo people, and the Tubo people, they have horses, and they also don't like to fight with the Tang people in a complicated environment, so everyone fights on the grassland, giving Feng Xiaobao the power of his Hexi horse.

In addition to looking for horses, Tang Tian is also looking for cattle and sheep breeds, but it is not the focus of her work, just leave it to her Tang family waiter to do it.

"Our Tang family, every horse has a mark, and we have established the 'file' you talked about, know its origin, and constantly improve the horse breed, so that you and I can ride the Hexi horse today!"

Feng Xiaobao was amazed when he heard it: Don't underestimate the ancients! (To be continued.) )
