Datang Library

Although Li Mengchang is a famous general on the battlefield, he is used to seeing life and death, but he also feels terrified of such a method of killing people, but he is more happy. This group of Tubo barbarians also have today. Brothers revenge.

A quarter of an hour later, the bombing ended, and the entire battlefield was full of fireworks and wailing. Thirty thousand of the [-] Tubo army escaped, and [-] were killed on the spot. .

"Haha, Lord Hou, this mountain-opening explosive is so powerful that it can stop hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

If you had come half a month earlier, I am afraid that Yizhou City would not have fallen. " Li Mengchang said with a big laugh.

The two generals of Qi's army were Li Yexu and Li Yesi, both of them resisted the discomfort in their chests and asked, "Master, the enemy is fleeing now, should we pursue it or not?"

Bai Fan said calmly: "Chasing, but first clean up the battlefield."

"Ah? Master, the speed of soldiers is so precious. If we clean up the battlefield, there will be [-] corpses and [-] wounded soldiers. I'm afraid we won't be able to do it in three days." Li Yesi said puzzled.

"No, what I mean by cleaning the battlefield is never collecting corpses, but killing people, leaving no one behind."

"This, this, but they are already prisoners..." Li Yexu argued.

Bai Fan disdainfully said: "Captives? We don't need captives. The [-] troops of Tubo poisoned our soldiers of the Great Tang General and wanted to annex our Jiannan Road as a granary. Do you know how many people have been harmed along the way? To this day, soldiers The people lost no less than [-].

How can you treat the enemy softly?Is this what I teach? "

Li Yexu and the two brothers are still a little bit helpless, after all, this is already a purgatory on earth, and it is too cruel to go up to clean up the living.

Du Ruhui said coldly: "They are not prisoners until they are ordered to keep alive."

General Li Mengchang stood up and said: "Why don't you let the brothers of the Qi family army go after them and take back our Yizhou city. As for cleaning the battlefield, it's not far from Bazhou. I'll send someone over."

Although these words were well intentioned, they directly stimulated the Li brothers. They couldn't fulfill the master's orders by themselves, and they had to be helped by outsiders. The Qi family army couldn't afford to lose such a person.

"No need, give us two quarters of an hour."

After finishing speaking, the two ordered to clear the field, and eight hundred elites with knives scattered into the purgatory in front of them.

Bai Fan, Du Ruhui and Li Mengchang knew in their hearts that the order to clear the field was not because of bloodthirsty, but because the 1 people had already been abolished. If the wounded soldiers of the Tang Dynasty could be treated and compensated, but this is the disability of the enemy country. It is impossible for Tang to afford the medical expenses and resettlement tasks for these 1 people.

Although Datang has a practice of accepting captives to mine mines, they will not accept worthless captives. Therefore, instead of being caught by public opinion after taking them in, it is better to clean up the battlefield on the spot without leaving any future troubles. It can also be said to avenge the people.

It's just that the two young generals don't have enough experience to comprehend these principles for the time being.

The 3 Tubo deserters fled desperately towards Yizhou, but the 1 Qi's army pursued them all the way, and the [-] people fled scattered.

And the Qi family army just chased this remnant soldier all the way to hide and kill, making Li Xinzhong and others think that behind them was the army of Datang coming.

The two-day journey was completed in one and a half days. When they arrived at the city of Yizhou, the Tubo people directly bypassed the city. They did not dare to enter the city, because there were pursuers behind them, and [-] Tang troops were in front. Some disabled soldiers and defeated generals are not enough to be killed.

The Great Tang general on the top of the city is still surprised, what's going on?Even if you are defeated and flee, you still have to enter the city to ensure safety. Could it be that there is an irresistible army behind you?Thinking of this, the general in the city was so frightened that he hurriedly ordered the city gates to be closed tightly to guard against death.

At the same time, the 30 vanguard troops led by Li Ji finally arrived in the city of Bazhou after more than [-] days of intense travel. Along the way, due to the difficult and dangerous roads to Shu, dozens of people lost their lives in the hasty march.

"In short, how is the situation? Have you retreated to Bazhou?" Li Ji asked.

"If it weren't for Jian's ingenious plan, Bazhou would have been almost lost. Now we have wiped out [-] enemies, and [-] have fled. But we are short of manpower, and Yizhou City is still in the hands of [-] poisoned surrenders. You guys are here to take back Yizhou." Du Ruhui explained.

"It's not too late, let's go directly to Yizhou."

It's not that Bai Fan didn't think about persuading the 4 troops in the city to surrender, but he was not sure. After eating [-] drug-addicted soldiers, he could still use [-] veterans from Bazhou to suppress them. How many people would it take to suppress the [-] soldiers?So he could only delay letting these [-] people go west to Tubo, not daring to talk about surrendering.

Fortunately, there are still a few days of opium stock in the city, otherwise the soldiers in the city would have been in trouble long ago.

Outside the city of Yizhou, Bai Fan said loudly: "The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty at the head of Yizhou city, the Tubo thieves have been wiped out by us, now we will not blame the past in Kaesong, and Bai Fan will give you the poison of your life. If you cancel, you will still be heroes of the Tang Dynasty."

"No, don't listen to him. He can't cure this poison at all. The Tibetans said that there is no cure for this poison." Hu Zilai, the general on the top of the city, shouted and refused.

"Think about the wives and children in your family, who wants to treason? The six thousand brothers who surrendered to Bazhou last time are almost healed, don't you envy them?"

As soon as this sentence came out, there was a commotion in the army. Who wants to treason?Being enslaved by Tubo like a dog, whoever loves to do it, needs alms for every meal, no one likes such a day.

Many soldiers put down their weapons and began to surrender. Hu Zilai drew his sword to stop him, because he didn't surrender last time, and he still insisted on Bai Fan, so he would definitely not survive this time.

But just as he was about to make a move, a general next to him stabbed him right through with a single knife, cursing: "If it wasn't for your gluttony to lure us into the trap, how could the good brothers of Yuhecheng be tricked into treason? Lao Tzu After bearing the burden for so many days, I wanted to kill you a long time ago."

This person is very shrewd. He kills Zhong in front of the battle to show his loyalty. As for whether it is to sell Datang well, or to endure humiliation and eliminate thieves, no one cares. At this time, we need a typical hero. Obviously, he is Bai. Anyone who needs it will be directly named the General of Drug Rehabilitation.

As for how this army will detoxify, the results of Chang'an's poison research have not yet been passed on. Bai Fan can only adopt the ancient method, which is the beating detoxification method. [-] guards and [-] unarmed soldiers have survived the drug addiction for several months. Nature no longer needs poison to get by.

In fact, Bai Fan didn't want to force detoxification at first, because if these soldiers can return to the team, they will be the main force to attack Tubo. After all, they have already trained in the plateau and are not afraid of altitude sickness, but they lack medical methods and medicinal materials, so they can only detoxify first. up.

And in this way, there would really be no large army to pursue the Tubo deserters, not only giving them a chance to breathe, but also allowing the shrewd Li Xinzhong to counterattack.

The [-] Tubo army occupied the city of Yizhou on the border of Jiannan Road in the Tang Dynasty, and deployed [-] thunderbolts to defend the city to prevent the Tang Dynasty from occupying Tubo Yubo City again as a nail to plan Tubo.

Chapter 8: Something Happened in the Southwest

In Zhongnan Academy, it took forty days before and after. Sun Simiao tried the medicine by himself, joined hands with Du Wuming, joined forces with dozens of well-known imperial doctors in the palace, and finally conquered the antidote to drug addiction. Qi Wang Li Yuanji wept with joy, and was the first to present Give credit to everyone.

Fifteen days later, the detoxification prescription was quickly delivered to Baifan of Jiannan Road. From then on, the [-] poisoned Tang soldiers were able to detoxify without suffering, and the crisis in the southwest was finally resolved.

But when Li Ji and others led an army of 20 to Tubo and wanted to destroy the country in one go and take revenge, they stopped in Yizhou on the border of the Tang Dynasty. Li Xinzhong was really a ruthless person. The city wall has been turned into a concrete wall, and all the four sides of the city are defended with thunderbolts. The Tang army can only stop in Yizhou.

If such a fortified city is to be taken down, it is estimated that at least [-] to [-] troops will die, so Li Ji can only order to camp and defend it.

But these are not things that Bai Fan thinks about anymore. In the past few years, Bai Fan has basically not been involved in military affairs because of urgent matters. The matter of fighting is a matter for the commander and the military department. Therefore, after the drug addiction in Yizhou City was lifted, Bai Fan and Du Ruhui On the way back to Chang'an.

Along the way, they walked on the ancient Shu road again. While visiting the mountains and rivers, the two also checked the situation of Li Chengxun's road construction. They started work on both sides, opened up mountains with sharp tools, and invested regardless of cost. It was originally expected to be repaired in ten years. Now it seems A road across the Qinling Mountains can be built in eight years or less.

As soon as they returned to Chang'an, the two were invited into the palace by Emperor Li Er, mainly to invite Bai Fan, because Du Ruhui, as the prime minister, naturally knew the rules of reporting on his duties when he returned to Beijing, but no one dared to control Bai Fan. Yes, only the emperor can invite you.

In the Palace of Political Affairs, many important people came, even Li Yuanji, the king of Qi who had successfully detoxified, participated in it.

Standing in the middle, Du Ruhui gave a detailed account of the crisis in the Southwest, and at the same time, the current situation, causing everyone to be shocked again and again. It was unexpected that a small Tubo would have such a big one. energy.

"So, Mao Gong should have entered the territory of Tubo now." Li Er said with satisfaction.

Although it was attacked this time, the [-] troops in Yuhe City were rescued, and they did not lose too much. They are still the main force in the war against Tubo. However, Jiannan Road lost some of the defenders of the city. They can destroy Tubo in one go. Point loss is negligible.

"I'm afraid the situation is not so optimistic." Bai Fan stood up and said.

"What? In short, did you get the news?"

"No, but since Tubo withdrew early, how could it not prevent our Tang Dynasty from attacking? Now that they have Thunderbolt in their hands, it may be very difficult for us to break into Tubo. Lord Mao would not approve of using a large number of people. "

When Bai Fan was in the middle of Shu, he counted the number of Thunderbolts used by Tubo. If there is no mistake, they didn't even use 50 Thunderbolts. Back then, Datang had [-] Thunderbolts in his hands, so they could use them Yu Grassland defended [-] Allied forces in the north, and now there are [-] thunderbolts in Tubo. If you only need to defend the entrance to one city, even a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood will not be able to push through.

"Forget it, leave the war to Mao Gong and the others, everyone in the military has been screaming and screaming, I believe they can do it.

Tell me about the drug thing. "

Li Er never expected that Tubo would treat him in the same way as his own. Instead of retreating to the plateau, he was nailed down in Yizhou in the Tang Dynasty. Li Ji was not in a hurry to win, and he had already sent a letter to Chang'an for help. up.
