As the small black dots on the ground moved little by little, the white snow was gradually swept away, and the silver-covered world peeled off its purity, leaving only the battlefield full of blood and sin below.

Zhang Xin cautiously examined the corpses piled on the ground one by one, his heart was full of anxiety and uneasiness, lest Zhang Yi's hideous face appear in front of him in the next second. He looked at the next corpse with fear and breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the next one with fear, and then breathed a sigh of relief...... Over and over again, back and forth, it's almost going to torture people crazy.

As time went on, the sweep became larger and larger, and more and more corpses surfaced. Corpses dug up from the snow were neatly stacked on the side of the road, thinking that death would be greater, and everyone would dig a pit with a little effort to let them settle in the earth - but they couldn't, the ground under their feet had already been frozen, and it was as hard as iron, and only a white mark could be smashed with a pickaxe. Four or five people tossed for a long time before digging a shallow pit a foot deep, and the rest of the people had to dispel this idea, just put the corpses in order, and wait for the government to come back and notify the government to collect the body, if there is still an official government.

Little by little, the battlefield was restored to its original appearance, and the course of the war was gradually restored. In fact, it's not complicated to say, first of all, Liangzhou City has been broken - that's for sure, otherwise there would be no Tang army here - and there are not many Tang troops coming out of Liangzhou. The Tang army of the brigade came out of the east gate of Liangzhou, and the Tubo people chased and killed, and the Tang army had to divide a group of infantry to break the rear - lying on the snow, Bacheng was such a small force after the break. It's a pity that, judging by the battle situation, they didn't complete the task very well. Looking at the scattered corpses, it should have been when the formation was formed in a hurry, and the blackshirt army chiseled the phalanx from the middle with a single charge, and then the cavalry that surged up rushed up and slashed, and instantly beat this Tang army to pieces.

After a wave of charges, the cavalry didn't even have the interest to look back, and continued to pursue the Tang army in front without pause, and the work of cleaning up the battlefield naturally fell to the infantry behind--facing the Tang army, which had no formation to speak of, the Tubo infantry easily and happily slaughtered them - as simple as a pre-dinner exercise - and even had the time to transport the corpses of their own people, so that only a few thousand corpses of the Tang army were left in this wilderness.

In winter, it gets dark very early, and when I have cleared a corner of the battlefield, it is already completely dark. The cavalry began to camp nearby, but fortunately it was freezing now, and although there were corpses scattered around, there was no peculiar smell. The cavalrymen who came down from Yanzhi Mountain gathered in twos and threes in front of a simple wooden stove to wait for the day's dinner.

Zhang Xin sat alone at the edge of the camp, staring at the dark snow in the distance without focus.

"Well, the roe deer that the children just caught from the woods has just been roasted and brought over....... At this time, the roe deer ointment is the fattest, come and taste it? ”

In a daze, a piece of roasted roe deer meat with a golden color was handed to him, and it was dripping with grease "snorting" down.

"Thank you......" Zhang Xin barely squeezed out a smile, "I don't have much appetite now, you can eat." ”

"Hey", Meng Weizhen sat down with Zhang Xin side by side, carefully put the roe deer meat wrapped in linoleum aside, groped a sheepskin pouch from his waist and handed it over.

This time, Zhang Xin did not refuse, and took a big sip of it. The hot liquor ran down his throat, as if he had swallowed a mouthful of fire.

Although there was no distillation technology in this era, there were still spirits - clever ancients used the power of time to remove excess water from new sake little by little through special storage containers and cellars, and a few years later it was left with this spirit, which was like swallowing fire. It's just that the production of this kind of liquor is extremely low, and it often takes hundreds of catties of new liquor to produce one catty of spirits, so it is extremely valuable. Not to mention ordinary people, it is difficult for officials with a slightly lower grade to consume, but Yanzhishan is located in the hub of business, and there are large sums of money every year, Meng Weizhen, as the third master of Yanzhishan, has no hobbies except eating and drinking, this kind of liquor is expensive, but Meng Weizhen's four or five huge sheepskin wine bags are full of this kind of wine with a price higher than gold.

Drinking on an empty stomach, or drinking such a strong wine, after a few sips, Rao is Zhang Xin's body is majestic and can't help but be a little smoky. It is said that the wine is even more sorrowful, and when the half sac of the liquor goes down, Zhang Xin's eyes are faintly moist.

"You're crying."

“...... No, the wine is too spicy. ”

Meng Weizhen smiled lightly, took the wine bag in Zhang Xin's hand and took a big sip, "It's still a child...... What's embarrassing in front of my brother? Your brother is gone, and I am your own brother. Ashin, do you want to hear about me before I fell into the grass? ”

"Falling grass...... Before? ”

Listening to Zhang Xin's question, Meng Weizhen smiled "hehe", "...... Don't you really think I was born a thief, do you? are all raised by their fathers and mothers, innocent men, who wants to abuse themselves? Meng Weizhen changed his comfortable posture and sat down again, "Actually, my brother and I were also soldiers and ate food...... Zuo Qianniu Weihu Bu Battalion....... Ever heard of it? ”

Not only have I heard of it, it is like thunder. The Sixteen Guards are the most elite army in the Tang Dynasty, which is analogous to the "Central Army" and "Ace Army" in later generations. Zhang Xin's current Zhichong Prefecture Dingbian Army sounds like a regular army, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it is a county-level militia brigade under the Ministry of Armed Forces-a county brigade.

Sometimes when we talk occasionally, for the legendary Sixteen Guards, every soldier is left with naked envy and worship. Among the sixteen guards, the left and right Yulin Guards, the left and right Jinwu Guards, the left and right gate guards Gong Wei Jingyu, the left and right guards of the prince, the left and right guards of the East Palace, the left and right leading guards, the left and right Longwu Guards, and the left and right Qianniu Guards are in charge of the battle - the division of the battle means that these six guards are dispatched, which is the national war! Conquer the Eastern and Western Turks, the three expeditions to Goryeo, the Pingxue Yantuo, and the nine divisions of Tiele....... Which Great War didn't have Sixteen Guards? In Datang, the Sixteen Guards are the highest pinnacle of soldiers.
