Chapter 80: Winter
Zizizizi......
"Zhan Twelve, turn some snow, there's no water."
"Okayβ"
The sound of shoveling snow rattled and the snow ridge where the height of the sky and the earth could not be distinguished, the snow slag and ice blocks compacted with plywood were built into the foundation of the roof. From a distance, it looks like a wall made of snow, but when you get closer, you can find that water has been splashed on it, forming a thick layer of ice shell, and the wall tiles made of snow slag and ice cubes are tightly sealed.
"My lord! Master Zhangβ"
"What's the matter!"
"The Protector of the Dharma!"
"Oh? Bring it here. β
Sincere!
The cleaver was flung haphazardly and nailed to the wooden board that held the mutton.
Wow!
The door curtain was opened, a gust of cold wind poured in, and Zhang Lihai, who was full of long beards in the igloo, said in a broken Bolu dialect: "What did Zan Junmo ask you to do? β
"My lord, this is a letter from the Dharma Protector, please take a look."
A mouthful of authentic Chang'an official dialect made Zhang Lihai stunned, but he smiled: "What's your name?" β
"The Prince."
This Tanma, who still wore Bolu pigtails, but wore the standard military uniform of the Tang Dynasty, replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"You're rewarded!"
After that, Zhang Lihai grabbed a fat leg of mutton in front of him and threw it forward, but this tanma was not in a hurry, and as soon as he reached out and grabbed it, he caught the leg of mutton: "Thank you for the reward!" β
As soon as the words fell, he sat cross-legged directly, and then tore the mutton with a big gulp. Someone next to him had already brought the warm mutton soup, but this Bolu man named Wang Chen asked bluntly: "Is there rice wine?" β
"There is Wuchang rice wine, which was brewed in the fifteenth year of Zhenguan."
"Here's a jar."
Rice wine dispels cold and dampness, for them, they want strong wine outside and rice wine at home, each has its own effect.
Zhang Lihai unfolded the letter paper, and then slapped his thigh: "Okay!" Good, good, good! Come on, bring pen and paper, call for paperwork! β
"Yes, sir!"
The entire camp was becoming more and more lively for a while, and not far from the camp, there was a larger, longer ice brick wall. In this "Great Wall" made of ice and snow, whimpering and screaming are heard from time to time, and if someone looks down from the ice and snow mountains, they can see that this is a "city" made of ice and snow.
In the "city", it is divided into various areas, all of which are composed of various domes, large and small, white and black. There is a fence between them, three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry in the middle of the road, and at an entrance, a large number of camels and horses are densely gathered, and these animals are also isolated......
"The Tocharians under the care of the mousse are Persian relics, and they still have some etiquette and shame. Unlike those red-haired savages, wild and untamable. β
"Dr. Castration from Dunhuang, when will you come to Green Ridge?"
"I'm going to come a long time ago, but the heavy snow in the winter moon has blocked the road, and if it weren't for the signal machine to transmit the message on a sunny day, I'm afraid I wouldn't know that I have already gone out. Now I plan to go to Putao City first. β
"When will this be? Could it be that Lao Tzu still transported these slaves to Putao City? Don't you want rice? β
"However, if we don't have a castrated doctor right now, we can't castrate them ourselves."
"Ask Zan Junmo, if there is a suitable castration master, please come over."
"It's almost the moon now, and that's probably the only way it can be."
"Zan Junmo didn't count the capture of the women's cattle and sheep this time, and the money that the Hou family smashed can be regarded as a return to the capital. At the moment, there is no shortage of anything else, just women. Those who are good-looking and have a family background, his mother's have been eaten by the Western Army, and the Hu people have no shameful etiquette, they kidnap women at every turn and run to the wild to rape them, it is useless to kill them alone, in addition to education, they have to be given less strength. β
"Captain, what about those who surrendered?"
"Wang Zuxian will give some there, and the rest will go to Tianzhu!"
"Yes."
The Breuz army marched westward by the route, and the rabble itself killed 2,000 men on the way, and fled 30,000 or 40,000 soldiers and civilians. There were even some leaders, seeing a good pasture, who directly took the herdsmen to enclose the land on the spot, and then fought with the security guards of the Xiqin Society.
These brainless leaders never expected that some countries in Western Tianzhu were actually the private property of certain merchants in the Tang Dynasty......
Despite the great losses, the coalition forces, which had an overwhelming numerical superiority because their opponents were also rookies, quickly taught the Tocharians how to "behave". Although the Tocharian rebellion was fierce, the speed of surrender and surrender was equally astonishing.
In addition to the "large number of soldiers" who shocked the coalition forces, the core backbone of the coalition forces, especially the elite units that were truly strong and persistent, were able to fight for a long time in winter, which was the root of their complete fear.
After deducting these, the remaining coalition forces were no more fierce and tenacious than the Turkic Persians, or even greatly inferior.
However, in this era, except for the Tang Dynasty, there was no organization capable of supporting a field army of 10,000 people. Even in the heyday of the Turkic Turks, when it came to winter, it could only keep the troops from being destroyed by the climate, and the real decisive force, even the so-called era of 400,000 strings, was only a few thousand gold horde guards.
Even in order to ensure that the exhaled breath does not freeze on the beard, a person needs a wolf skin to make a neck covering, because only the wolf hair on the wolf skin will not form a thick layer of snowflakes and ice slag.
How could it be easy to come up with a few thousand wolf skins. The Turks also had the aftermath of fighting for the X-lifetime, and only then did they have the peak of 400,000 strings.
The Tang Dynasty, which has been in Zhenguan for 17 years, has just compressed the "Yu Lie of Fen VI" to just over ten years. The accumulation required in the era of pure agriculture is not as good as a fraction of what it needs in the face of the tremendous development of handicrafts, shipping, manufacturing, metallurgy, etc.
In the seventeenth year of Zhenguan, the crude steel yield rate can finally be guaranteed as the dividing line, and it only takes one year for the steel output of the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant to crush the total steel output of all dynasties since the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
That's the difference.
Beep Bobo......
In a small igloo, the stones were covered with hay, and a thick thick blanket was laid on top, and the blanket was covered with another layer of leather, and it was not clear what the leather was, but it was soft, because it was pressed by a woman to change its shape.
The frightened-eyed woman was trembling, praying for something in a Tocharian dialect, but soon, with a loud noise, the rough man who broke through the door whispered something, and then took out a jar from his bosom, a pottery can.
Syllable.
The rough man continued to say something, and then took a wooden bowl and poured out the contents of the can.
It's a yellow peach.
The woman just tasted a piece, and then showed a surprised look, then looked at the rough man, and finally showed a resigned look, and unwrapped the blanket wrapped around her body, revealing a slightly thin but clean fine naked body inside.
Grunt......
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, the rough man gasped for a heavy breath, and while untying the belt of his shirt and trousers, he stared at a woman who was not beautiful enough, and even this woman's breasts were not big enough and her ass was not cocked enough.
Not long after, with a heavier gasp, there was no tenderness at all** in the igloo.
In the big tent, Zhang Lihai asked curiously: "Why did the Mousse Department change its surname to Zhan?" β
"It's the Western Army Han Goro's fault, his mother-in-law is from the Mousse Department. Because of Han Baohu's favor back then, Xiangyang Zhan's family is still which Zhan family, and he recognized his righteous relatives. So the Mousse Department simply took the surname Zhan, and now the handsome Mousse of the Mousse Department is also surnamed Zhan. β
"It's really unaccustomed to listening to my mother."
After a while, he scolded again, "This Zhan Twelve doesn't understand any amorous feelings, is this a woman or an animal?!" β
Rao is igloo sound insulation effect is not bad, but the sound of popping and popping is still endless, and the woman to whom Tocharian belongs screamed as if she was going to die, which really made a group of fighting men trembling in the winter night extremely unhappy.
