Rush to Little Bolu - Battle of Poyi Bridge 3
He Jingzhi slashed violently, and actually cut off the two vines, originally this rattan bridge was very solid, but at this time the bridge was crowded with people, most of them were crowded on the bridge, and there were also climbing under the bridge, the weight doubled, and the rattan bridge finally couldn't bear the weight, only heard the sound of "pop, pop" a few times, and the vines broke apart.
I saw that the bridge fell suddenly, and the Tubo fierce general fell rapidly, He Jing glanced at it, only his red eyes, no fear and fear, only infinite anger and hatred.
A sudden howl came from below, not fear and cowardice but full of anger and unwillingness, in this vast night of the Shura field, whether it was the red-eyed Tang soldiers or the slaughtered Tubo soldiers, they were all shocked by this angry roar, the sound suddenly stopped, and even the Yunbao guards and others saw that the general situation had gone, and they all threw down their swords and surrendered.
He Jingzhi approached the edge of the cliff and looked down, only to see the moonlight shining under the cliff, full of corpses, dripping with flesh and blood, the river rolling, and the sound of the waves rumbling, but he couldn't find the body of the Tibetan general.
Li Siye ordered the defenders of Lianyunbao to ask all the Tibetan warriors to surrender.
So the Tibetan guards shouted loudly to order a few stubborn Tibetan soldiers to surrender, and after a while, the sound of the sword exchange gradually disappeared, and all the Tibetan warriors surrendered.
In this battle, more than 400 people were killed and wounded in Tubo, more than 500 people surrendered below the defenders of Lianyunbao, the Tang army lost 18 people, more than 30 people were wounded, and Liu Daqing, a military general in Tanzhou, was also wounded, a muscle was cut off in his left shoulder, and his left leg was also pierced by a long knife, but fortunately the injury was not serious.
He Jingzhi admired the bravery of the enemy general, so he stepped forward to ask the defender of Lianyunbao the name of the Tubo general.
Lianyunbao guarded the general and said: "This person is the first fierce general in the snow leopard department of my Tubo country, named Po Ke Luomi, who has killed countless enemies and made many military exploits, and is the first class hero of our Tubo, but unfortunately he died here. He died to save me, so please allow me to make a toast to thank him for saving me. 」
He Jingzhi took the wine glass, drank the wine, loosened the binding of the Tubo guards, and handed the wine glass to him.
Pokoromi fell from the Poyi Bridge, and he was unwilling and worried about the safety of his brothers and generals, so he was depressed in his chest, and he couldn't help but roar wildly.
The cliff is dozens of feet high, and there will be no luck in falling, and suddenly I feel that there is a person in my waist to hold it, and I push it upwards, and the falling momentum slows down, and I only hear the voice of my brother Jebrendan coming from below: "Repay me..."
With this upward momentum, Pocromi fell into the river.
In the darkness of the night, Pocromi climbed onto a wooden cabinet that had fallen from a cliff and floated on the water, fortunately not dying.
Pokoromi struggled to climb ashore and lay down on the shore, seeing that the Tibetan guards would offer him wine, and Tang would salute him.
He Jingzhi stood by the bridge and raised his knife in greeting.
Pokoromi saw it really and secretly remembered the person's appearance.
looked at the shattered brothers and soldiers around him.
Brother Jebrendan and these comrades were born and died with him for more than ten years, and this emotion has long surpassed the love of flesh and blood, but now they have become piles of broken corpses and scattered corpses.
The hatred of blood debt and blood in Pokoromi's heart rose violently, and He Jingzhi, who was standing by the bridge and cutting the vine bridge, became a significant target of Pokoromi's hatred against the sky・・・・・・
Pokoromi had many fractures on his body and a lot of bruises on his head and face, but he was extremely hard, and without a snort, he slowly dragged his injured body to the grass on the shore.
After dawn, the Tang army had already withdrawn, and Pokoromi was unable to return to the Tubo village, but when the soldiers in the village went to the valley to search for the dead and wounded, they found the dying Pokolomi, and hurriedly carried him back to the Tubo camp for treatment.
Li Siye waited for the victory and returned, and returned to Xiaobolu, only to see more than ten flagpoles on the city wall, and more than ten human heads on them.
Gao Xianzhi stationed half of his troops in Xiaobolu City, and the other half of his troops were stationed outside the city with his deputy general Zhao Chongwei in case of accidents.
Li Siye ordered the soldiers to treat the wounded by the army doctors, and after handing over the captured soldiers and generals, he then led He Jingzhi and others into the Chinese army's tent.
Gao Xianzhi rewarded the generals of the Modao team with wine, and praised Li Siye and the Modao team for their exploits.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Siye asked, "Dare to ask the general, who are those heads at the head of the city? Why was he killed??? 」
Gao Xianzhi said: "Those are all pro-Tibetan ministers or tribal leaders, Xiao Bolu is located in a remote area, and my Tang Dynasty cannot garrison troops here, so Xiao Bolu must be in charge of national affairs. If I leave these guys behind, maybe Xiao Bolu will return to Tibet, I publicly beheaded these princes and nobles in front of Xiao Bolu's palace, and asked them to be afraid, and no one dares to oppose my Tang Dynasty. All the generals bowed down.
Gao Xianzhi rectified Xiao Bolu, canonized Su Dunzhi, the younger brother of the former king who had always been pro-Tang Dynasty, and sent an envoy to present a letter of state to Tubo and Tubo to sever their vassal relations. And the pro-Tibetan forces will be completely eradicated, those who are killed will be killed, and those who are captured will be captured, so that no one will escape the net.
At the same time, Gao Xianzhi also sent people into the mountain to search, and finally found the little Bolu king Su Lizhi and the Tubo princess Qi (Yin Chi) horses in a deserted cave in the back mountain.
The climate in the highlands, the temperature is extremely low in the morning and evening, the two of them have to hide in the cave, shivering from the cold, and they are relieved to be searched by the Tang army, and it is difficult to ensure that they will not freeze to death if they stay for two more days.
After stabilizing Xiao Bolu's situation, Gao Xianzhi asked King Xiao Bolu to send a team of 1,000 people to be stationed at the broken bridge of Poyi Teng Bridge, and closely monitor the river crossing points of ten miles upstream and downstream, so as to prevent the Tubo State from rebuilding the Poyi Bridge and threatening Xiao Bolu again.
On the eighth day of the ninth month, all the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army set off to return to the Anxi Protectorate, and there was no need to hide their whereabouts on this return trip, so it was extremely fast. It only took two months to rush back to Qiuzi Town, the seat of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.
Gao Xianzhi repaired the list of meritorious service and the invitation documents, and when he first arrived in Bomichuan, he sent people to carry the list and documents and escorted the Xiaobolu king Su Zhizhi, the princess of Tubo and the surrendered soldiers of Tubo, and quickly went to Chang'an to report his merits and sacrifice prisoners.
Gao Xianzhi did this, but it made a person angry, where did this person come from, how dare he lose his temper because of this?
It turned out that this person was Gao Xianzhi's old boss Fu Meng Lingjing, who was the envoy of the four towns of Anxi (Gao Xianzhi was the deputy envoy of the four towns of Anxi and the envoy of the camp of Anxi), through the former subordinate officials Wang Tao and Kang Huaishun who were still in the Anxi army, Fumeng Lingjing learned in advance that Gao Xianzhi had reported the victory and surrendered the prisoner, and Fumeng Lingjing was so angry that he was furious.
