Chapter 305: The Tree Planter in the Desert

Give Songtsen Gampo a ray of light, completely stimulate his greed, this is Yanglin's calculation, in fact, with the national strength of Tubo, it is simply not able to support the war of 800,000 troops, and now it has just revealed defeat, and all kinds of unstable factors have been highlighted, and in order to suppress these contradictions, Songtsen Gampo has to need a victory to stabilize his position, this is the key to Yanglin's ability to successfully bring him into the abyss, of course, Yanglin never believed in how talented a person who also created a slave society in this era was, The imperfection of the political system is also the reason for the rapid decline of Tibet since Songtsen Gampo.

Hundreds of thousands of Tubo troops launched a ferocious attack on the ice wall again under the order of Songtsen Gampo, and now they only have one day's rations left, Yanglin didn't even bother to open the cracks to let them see what the dawn of, to convince people, shocking killing is necessary, this battle is the battle of Yanglin's Liwei, let them see the horror of the Tang army, so that they can carry out the surrender after the war.

"Let's have them smash the ice wall for two hours to warm up! Never attacking them at the head of the Ice Wall, they forgot that they were standing on the Ice Wall and were able to run away. "Yanglin is not used to seeing the scene of blurred flesh and blood, even if every time he leads the army to fight, he will kill the enemy very badly, Xue Rengui quickly understood the meaning of Yanglin, the Tubo people are tall, and their physical strength is generally better than that of the Han people, even if they surrender to the Tang army, the Tang army, which has only more than 100,000 people, is not easy to control them, they are tired of playing, and they are easy to do when they are hungry.

I don't know how these Tubo people who live on the oxygen-thin plateau grew up, but it can only be said that this is related to their race, consuming the sharpness of the Tubo people in their heyday, so as to break their psychological defense line in one fell swoop when they are weak-willed.

"After this battle, would you like to lead your army to the plateau?" Yang Lin has long been tired of the war of this era, and he is even more reluctant to do things that may damage his appearance such as climbing ice and lying on snow, Li Shimin added two temporary words in front of his title of metropolitan governor to prove that he does not intend to let himself stay in the Western Regions for a long time, and this brave and resourceful Xue Rengui seems to be the best candidate to guard the Western Regions.

"Hehe, all the people who can fight in Tubo in this battle are lost, and the merit of destroying the country is at your fingertips, this is to make the credit to the last general!" Xue Rengui rubbed his hands and said with some interest. He is now a second-tier general of the Tang Dynasty, if he can really destroy the Tubo Kingdom in one fell swoop, he will be crowned a prince and enter the ranks of the top martial arts of the Tang Dynasty, and he is the youngest grandfather, the Tang Dynasty military will not be able to bypass him for decades in the future, such a big benefit, how can he not be tempted.

"Military merit is no longer beneficial to me, if there is a choice, I would prefer to be a professor in Chang'an Academy, but don't underestimate the plateau, the people here may be easy to defeat, but the harsh environment here is the most difficult for you to overcome, there are more than 30 thousand prefectures in Tubo, more than 300,000 troops, more than 4 million people, and the places where they are stationed are like a chessboard game, if you want to conquer them one by one, it will take a few years of hard work, and you must be ready to fight here for a long time."

In the early years, the national strength of Tubo was not even less than that of the Tang Dynasty, and the military strength was ranked above the Tang Dynasty, and it was naturally not so easy to digest if you wanted to eat him all in one bite, which required very large energy political support, and also required a huge supply of troops and war resources, and the generals who presided over the entire Tubo front needed absolute loyalty to the emperor, otherwise the end would not be good, but Yanglin was at ease with Xue Rengui, Li Shimin will also help to make a statement, at least not to let her wife repeat the sad thing of guarding the cold kiln for 18 years, but a few years of separation is inevitable.

Two hours passed in a flash, and Songtsen Gampo lost the assistance of wise men such as Lu Dongzan and Gongdun, and his decision-making ability plummeted, until the Tang army arranged the heavy crossbow and bow array on the ice wall, and Songtsen Gampo did not react.

"Let's fire, tell the soldiers to be careful, the huge sound wave may cause avalanches on the peaks on both sides, but don't bury our own people." Yang Lin's military orders are always so calm, but his every word always determines the life and death of so many people.

The Tang Army's heavy crossbow has long ceased to shoot ordinary arrows, and today's Tang Dynasty craftsmen have already integrated firearms into all equipment, such as the wheel fire gun equipped by the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army, which can be fired six times in a row, within thirty meters of close range, and the single soldier is almost invincible, the reason why Lu Dongzan can fight with the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army in a frontal battle is mainly because of the advantage of superb riding skills and absolute suppression of troops, otherwise, the most elite cavalry of the Tubo Army will also lose a mess if it confronts the Ten Thousand Cavalry Army with the same number, and the heavy crossbow arrows, A certain amount of HUO ammunition had already been installed by the craftsman's supervisor, and the Tang army fired a round, and thousands of heavy crossbow arrows loaded with HUO ammunition flew towards the dense Tubo army formation in the valley in the distance.

"Boom ・・・・・・"

The whole valley shook the earth, thousands of huo medicine bombs bloomed at the same time, only one round of launches, the Tubo soldiers who blew up turned on their backs, and more than 10,000 were killed and wounded, but Yanglin did not come to slaughter them after all, otherwise they would not wait until today to fire, the territory of the Western Regions is too large, the population is sparse, and the productivity is relatively weak, and the Tubo that is about to be included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty is even more so, the territory of the Western Regions and Tubo is much larger than the territory of the original Tang Dynasty, such a large place, without population governance and production, After all, with the current ecological environment, there are still many available places in this area, which is also related to the entire ecological management plan of Yanglin, and the population will be an indispensable factor in his implementation of the plan at any time.

After the fierce bombardment, the environment of the battlefield did not calm down, the death and wounded of 10,000 or 20,000 people were nothing in the eyes of Songtsen Gampo, but the snow rolling on the snow peak frightened him, as a native of Tibet, he knew the meaning of avalanches too well, but unfortunately, there were 700,000 Tibetans gathered on the narrow mountain road, even if they wanted to escape, it was not so easy.

When Songtsen Gampo prayed that he would not be buried by the snow, Yang Lin was also praying that he would not be buried by the snow, the living Songtsen Gampo was more useful than dead, the corners of his eyes skimmed in the direction of his side, and the scorpion who had already finished wearing his armor understood what he meant, he really didn't want to stay in this cold and snowy place anymore, Yanglin promised him that as long as he captured Songtsan Gampo alive, he would let him go back to Chang'an.

"Bang."

The blue iron armor jumped down from the ice wall of more than ten zhang, and the thick soles of the feet directly blurred the flesh and blood stepped on by the two Tubo people, and the foot springs opened, with the force of the fall, the body of the scorpion bounced high again, and the body turned around in a beautiful 360 degrees, and when it landed again, it was dozens of meters away, so that, with only a few exhalations, the body of the scorpion approached the location where Songtsan Gampo was, on the city wall, Xue Rengui's pupils constricted, and similarly, the Tang soldiers who had not yet seen the power of the steel suit were also stunned, It turns out that this god-like Metropolitan Governor still has such a killing weapon by his side, and with such a bull fork equipment, he can take the head of a general among the ten thousand armies, which is also a bag to take things!

It will take some time for the ice and snow to roll down from the high peaks, as the snow continues to grow, the power of its bombardment is also more huge, the scorpion will no longer jump when it is close to Songtsen Gampo about ten meters, the wolf claw blade protrudes from the hole on the back of the fist, all the Tubo soldiers who are guarding in front of Songtsen Gampo have become the object of his cutting, suddenly, with Songtsan Gampo as the center, within ten meters around, flesh and blood fly, all the Tubo people who are close to here will be cut into minced meat by the wolf's claw blade, only two or three back and forth, The Tubo people no longer dared to approach this killing god.

"Songtsen Gampo, come with me, now that you have run out of food and grass, you can't advance or retreat, and even the big guy on top of your head is about to smash down, it's time to surrender." The scorpion put away the wolf claw blade on the back of his fist, clamped the Songtsan Gampo wearing a fur coat under his armpit, turned around and jumped in the direction of the ice wall, even with a person, every time he rose and fell, it was tens of meters away, and at this time, the stupid Tubo soldiers were the same as the stupid Songtsan Gampo, no one had the courage to fight against this ironclad man.

"Whew"

With a hard stomp of the spring foot, the scorpion's body suddenly rose up, and he jumped onto the head of the ice wall with the big fat guy Songtsen Gampo, which was a distance of more than ten zhang high. In front of Yang Lin, Songtsen Gampo, who was already messy in the wind, was thrown to the ground by the scorpion, and he never imagined that he had been fighting against these god-like people all along.

"Boom"

The sound of ice and snow crashing into the ground made Songtsen Gampo come back to his senses, and he subconsciously looked under the ice wall, at this moment, I am afraid that tens of thousands of Tibetan soldiers have been buried.

"You only have one chance to live, order them to lay down their arms and surrender to Datang."

Yang Lin's words were still calm, but except for Songtsan Gampo, even Xue Rengui felt that his words were as heavy as ten thousand pounds, and this powerful aura was not something that mortals could release at all.

"I, I'm willing to surrender." Songtsen Gampu Mune replied to Yang Lin's words.

At this point, the conquest of the Tang Dynasty by the 800,000 army of Tubo was completely declared a failure, the Tubo Zanpu Songzan Gampo was captured and escorted back to Chang'an, and the nearly 700,000 population of the Tubo army was escorted to the towns of the Western Regions by the Tang army, and a small part of them will be used as government conscription and become the free labor force of the government, and the other large part will be sent to the northern part of Qiuci near the desert, and become a tree planter forever. They will be granted the status of Datang citizens and will be free to leave this place. Before that, they and their children will be tree planters, and Datang will always provide them with living materials, and if they rebel, they will die. (To be continued.) )
