"Master Jun, don't let go of the arrows, the little one is from Zhoujia Village, Zhaotou County, Hezhou, not the Tubo people, but his own people."

"Don't kill me, my old mother is still looking forward to me going back to retire and die."

"I'm only nineteen years old, I don't want to die yet, the general helps."

"Help me, they forced the little ones."

.......

In the face of death, these tortured Tang people began to plead loudly, they thought that they would die, when they knew that the mountain was their own army, their desperate hearts had a glimmer of survival, just like seeing a life-saving straw when they were about to drown, so they screamed desperately.

Whether it is the people of Tibet or the people of the Tang Dynasty, their reactions in the face of death are no different.

Lu Jin gritted his teeth and said: "Damn Fan dog, when we kill it, we will definitely slaughter ten times the Tubo people to pay for the lives of these Tang people." ”

"There are no less than ten times the number of people who besiege them, and they have to drive these people to block arrows, and Ku Dating is not only ruthless, but also very cautious, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, no wonder he sits in the position of a general with a dead prince." Guo Ziyi is not as angry as Lu Jin, but has a trace of respect for Kun Dating.

Not to mention anything else, it is already remarkable that Ku Dating has been able to maintain the chaotic Tubo until now, and has gathered so many troops to encircle and suppress the Tang army.

War, the winner is the king, the loser is the coward, although Ku Dating is shameless, but from the perspective of the general, he is not wrong, he is not in charge of the army, and he does not blink if he needs to sacrifice himself, let alone not his own people.

Cui Xiyi said with some feelings: "Have you heard, the people who are calling are ordinary people, it is said that among these people, there are many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty and those who are lurking in Tibet, and I have not heard a single soldier calling." ”

"As soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they have a greater sense of honor than ordinary people" Song Chong hesitated, and quickly added: "It is also possible that they know that it is useless to call it, and try to maintain the last dignity." Song Chong said with some emotion.

Zheng Peng also spoke: "One will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither, this bone is not only the bones of soldiers, but also the bones of ordinary people." ”

Guo Ziyi looked at Zheng Peng and said, "General, you rest here, just go and deal with it." ”

Knowing that Zheng Peng didn't like to do this kind of thing, and out of protection for Zheng Peng, Guo Ziyi took the initiative to stand up.

Ordering to do something to his own people, although it is a last resort, it will definitely cause criticism if it is passed out, especially some guys who are afraid of the world and will only move their mouths, not to mention anything else, Zheng Peng has made so many military achievements, but Zheng Peng has been criticized too much in the exchange of prisoners, and Guo Ziyi took the initiative to stand up.

When he entered Tibet, his second brother Cui Xiyi came forward to do a lot of "dirty work", and now this basin of "dirty water", Guo Ziyi blocks it for Zheng Peng.

Zheng Peng waved his hand and said, "I am the main general, this matter cannot be shrunk, let me handle it." ”

The master must be responsible, and he can't let his subordinates block everything, and besides, Zheng Peng took the initiative to ask Ying to take Tubo this time, and it was really not for promotion and fortune.

There is already a lot of money, it is good to be able to keep it, and there is no need to bother thinking about how to make money on the battlefield; As for being an official, the bigger the official position, the greater the responsibility, until now, Zheng Peng's greatest wish is to sleep until he wakes up naturally, counting money until his hands cramp.

Guo Ziyi just wanted to say something, but Zheng Peng had already walked towards the first line of defense.

At this time, the civilians who were driven up were less than three hundred paces away from the first line of defense, and they would soon be within range of the Western Army.

In fact, the catapult had already been erected, and if it weren't for the people of the Tang Dynasty in the crowd, the fire bombs would have been thrown long ago.

"Lu Tou, it seems that we can't live today, but if we can go on the road with you, even if we die, we won't be lonely." In the crowd that was being driven away, a scrawny man spoke to a tall man next to him.

The thin man's name is Wu Shaoxiong, he turned out to be an ordinary soldier in the second hoarding cavalry battalion of Zhechong Mansion in Hezhou, and next to him was Lu Yonglian, the chief of the Shi he belonged to, and the two were captured by the Tubo people as slaves when they were patrolling, Wu Shaoxiong was often bullied in Tubo, if there was no help from Lu Yonglian, he would have died a long time ago.

Lu Yonglian said with a wry smile: "With a good brother by your side, you are not lonely." ”

"It's a pity, I thought that General Zheng could save us, and I thought about going home to serve the two elders, but I didn't expect to bury my bones in another country, Lu Tou, you say, will General Zheng order the release of arrows?"

"I will definitely release the arrows" Lu Yonglian suddenly said with a serious face: "You must also release the arrows, otherwise the brothers on the mountain will suffer, as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, you can no longer protect your family, you can't block the Tang Dynasty, and you can't shame your family." ”

After a pause, Lu Yonglian said with some feeling: "I heard that General Zheng has a trebuchet in his hand, and the killing distance is six hundred steps away, and he hasn't done it yet, which means that they still have us in their hearts, which is enough." ”

Wu Shaoxiong suddenly pointed to the front and said loudly: "Lu Tou, look, why did the brothers on the mountain kneel?" ”

Lu Yonglian looked up and saw Tang Jun kneeling in his direction one by one, for the sake of one, still holding a strange thing in his hand.

"Fathers and fellow villagers of the Tang Dynasty, I am Zheng Peng, the chief general of the Western Army."

As soon as the words fell, not only the people of the Tang Dynasty who were driven away, but also the soldiers who were waiting for the opportunity behind also stopped.

Zheng Peng knelt on the ground, holding a simple horn in his hand and said loudly: "Fathers and fellow villagers, robes, you have suffered and been wronged, the emperor ordered me to go to Tubo to save you, I'm sorry, although I came in a hurry, but my ability is limited, I can't save it, not only can't I save it, but I have to send you on the road today." ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Peng took a deep breath and continued: "Saying these words is not for show, nor is it for the sake of a good conscience, just to make it clear to you that there is really no choice, I, Zheng Peng, promise here that I can't save you back to Datang, but I will do my best to bring your ashes back to Datang and let your souls return to your hometown." ”

After the last sentence, Zheng Peng stood up and shouted loudly: "All of them, salute." ”

The expeditionary army on the mountain, without saying a word, knelt down on one knee and saluted the people in the direction of Datang very seriously.

When killing the Tubo people, Zheng Peng's order was very simple, but in the face of his own compatriots, especially those Tang soldiers who worked hard for the Tang Dynasty and unfortunately fell into the hands of the Tubo people, and were tortured to the point of not being human, including the meticulous work who walked on the death line every day, it was really difficult to give the order to attack.

The Western Army has all kinds of information in Tibet, which is like no man's land, relying on countless detailed lives in exchange.

"Look for death, hurry up."

"The general said that as long as you rush forward, not only can your life be saved, but you will also have to pay a reward of 1,000 taels."

"Look for death, rush quickly, and those who violate the order will be killed."

Seeing that the situation was a little wrong, the Fan soldiers who followed behind scolded while using leather whips and scimitars to drive away the Tang people, and after a few screams, three Tang people who walked slowly were killed on the spot by the Fan soldiers.

It is clearly killing chickens to show monkeys.

When Lu Yonglian heard Zheng Peng's words, his cool heart was warmer, and when he saw the familiar military salute on the mountain, his eyes were moved a little more, and when he saw that the Western Army began to take the bow in his hand, his skinny hand tightly held the big wooden stick in his hand.

Due to the excessive force, the green tendons came out.

Lu Yonglian turned his head and glanced at it, turned around suddenly, and took advantage of the fact that the soldier hiding behind him did not come back to his senses, the big wooden stick in his hand slammed in the air, and with a muffled bang, it hit the soldier's leather helmet fiercely, and the soldier was bloodied on the spot, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground without snorting, and he didn't know if his brain was out.

Before the soldiers fell to the ground, the scimitar in his hand had been snatched away by Lu Yonglian, Lu Yonglian slashed down another soldier who was about to do it with a knife, and shouted loudly: "Fellow villagers, brothers, the dog bullies people too much, anyway, I can't live today, fight with them, kill one is enough, kill two to earn one." ”

Seeing Lu Tou make a move, Wu Shaoxiong also struggled to kick down a soldier, and shouted loudly: "Fight with them, General Zheng said to take us back to Datang and take us home, and we can't let our family be ashamed." ”

As soon as the two moved, the people who were crying and crying just now just hesitated, and soon one followed one by one and all moved, turned around one by one, crying and desperately with the soldiers behind, some of them were holding the soldiers to death, some of them were holding on to a soldier, some were still holding the legs of the soldiers on the ground, and they refused to let go of the soldiers no matter how they swung their knives to attack, the scene suddenly became a mess, and the Zhengxi army on the mountain was all surprised at once, and put down the bows and arrows in their hands one by one, and looked at the following with complicated expressions.

Zheng Peng looked down with a complicated expression, with surprise, emotion, and helplessness in his eyes.

It's just that you don't have to give the order to kill yourself yourself, but you don't feel good when you see your compatriots die like eggs hitting stones.

People will burst out of their potential in a desperate situation, the people of the Tang Dynasty are really desperate, one by one madly attacking the soldiers who have just driven them, as long as there is still a breath left, they will not give up revenge, Zheng Peng saw with his own eyes a woman who was so thin that she seemed to be blown down by the wind, she was stabbed through the body by the soldiers, she did not fall immediately, but hugged the neck of the soldier with both hands, her nails pierced into the flesh, opened her mouth and bit the nose of the soldier, when several soldiers struggled to kill the woman and threw it aside, The soldier's nose was bitten off, and he became hideous.

There are still many heroic deeds like that woman, but no matter how much you are not afraid of death, you can't change the situation of the war, there are only more than 300 people in the Tang Dynasty, all of them are scarred and malnourished, not only the weapons are poor, the vast majority of them are civilians who have not received military training, and more than 800 people in Tubo are well-equipped, fat and strong, and after the initial short panic, they quickly suppressed the prisoners' pre-battle riot.

"Shoot the arrows!" Before the last Tang people fell to the ground, Guo Ziyi had resolutely ordered.

For a while, arrows rained down, and a large number of soldiers fell in response, including several struggling Tang people also fell in the rain of arrows.

Since death is unavoidable, harvest it when the benefits are maximum, and burn more ingots candles afterwards.

"Escape, the Tang army released the arrows."

"Retreat, retreat."

Only then did the soldiers who escorted the people of the Tang Dynasty come to their senses and retreated in a swarm.

"Chong, avenge the fathers and fellow villagers of the Tang Dynasty." At this time, Lu Jin took the lead, and led the sharp knife team of the front army to attack those Tibetan troops.

The people of the Tang Dynasty rushed to the position on the mountain on foot, and the Tubo soldiers who drove behind were afraid that they would become live targets on horseback, so they did not ride horses, they hid closely behind the captives, and they could only run away with their legs, while Lu Jin was ready to pursue when Tubo began to attack.

The two are about 200 steps apart, not far away, and the soldiers under the command of Lu Jin are known for their speed, riding horses down the mountain very fast, and quickly catching up with the Tibetan soldiers.

Seeing that the soldiers under the mountain wanted to send troops to help, Zheng Peng shouted: "What are you waiting for, blow up the damn, I want to kill all the people who dare to attack Wugula Mountain." ”

The more than 800 soldiers escorted were all murderers who killed the people of the Tang Dynasty and Paoze, Zheng Peng couldn't save his own people, but he could avenge his own people.

Now the eye newspaper makes them feel unhappy to live a little longer.

Eighteen trebuchets had already been prepared, Zheng Peng gave an order, and eighteen fireballs crossed arcs in the air, exploding in front of the soldiers who were ready to rush, and the eighteen firebombs only knocked down a few people, but it made the team of soldiers who wanted to rush to help stop.

Ku Dating, Xinuo Luo Gonglu and others watched as more than 800 soldiers were slaughtered by the Tang cavalry.

"Damn!" Tsering gritted his teeth and said: "The Tang army deceives people too much. ”

The purpose of that wave of firebombs was not to cause casualties, but to deter, in order to kill all the Tibetan soldiers who drove away.

Bullied like on the head.

Wu Ze, the patriarch of the Tibetan tribe of Hall, said with a cold face: "After decades of fighting, it was fought in vain, and now they are all pressed to the ground and insulted by the damned Tang army." ”

Ku Dating also said with a pale face: "Damn the Tang Army, there will be lawlessness with fire bombs, just wait, as long as..."

Before he finished speaking, Xi Nuoluo Gonglu interrupted: "It's hateful, it's so hateful, this didn't suppress the morale of the Tang army, but made us suffer a big dumb loss, no, we must do something, general, you decide." ”

Speaking of words, Sinoluo Gonglu gave Ku Dating a look without a trace.

"Revenge!"

"Woo woo, there are fifty warriors of the Great Law clan inside."

"There are thirty warriors in the Ba tribe, and none of them can be withdrawn."

"It's too rampant, we can't let Tang Gou be so arrogant, there are so many of us, take revenge, we must take revenge."

Attacking Urgula Mountain, it is too dangerous, no matter who is allowed to go, others will also feel unfair, the alliance held a meeting and decided that for the sake of fairness, every attack, all parties must send people to participate, although it is a little troublesome, and it is not conducive to command and coordination, but the best way in front of the eyes, and the easiest way to get recognition.

The 850 soldiers killed in front of the battle, including more than 20 large and small forces that participated in the siege of Wugula Mountain.

Kun Dating's heart moved, and then he came back to his senses, and just now in a fit of rage, he almost told the secret of the all-out attack on the rainy day, and said loudly when he heard the words: "What the great minister said is extremely true, where is Tsering?" ”

Datang's meticulous work is pervasive, and I don't know if there are any people who have been bought by Datang present, Ku Dating and Xinuo Luo Gonglu made an appointment, and they will never confide in the slightest rumor until the last moment.

The battle of Wugula Mountain is related to his own life and death, and it is also related to the life and death of Tibet.

"The end will be." When Tsering heard this, he immediately stepped forward to listen to the order.

Ku Dating said with a cruel face: "Just now, eight hundred and fifty Tubo warriors died in front of the battle, and immediately named eight hundred and fifty Tang slaves, and executed them in front of the battle, sacrificing the heroic souls who had just died in battle!" ”

"Order!"

Soon, a team of Datang people were escorted out, all of them were forced to kneel on the ground, and their heads were cut off one by one, and the screams were endless for a while, and blood flowed all over the ground.

War does not eliminate hatred, on the contrary, it only grows deeper.
