Chapter 659: I, Songtsan Gampo, will die here
He is the general praise of the entire Tibet, as long as he has money, he can recruit soldiers in the whole territory, and he has the largest temple in Tibet behind him, as long as he has money, he can rise again at any time.
It's just that this thing doesn't know that there is an old saying in the Central Plains, which is called "Do not do to others what you do not want", he himself is not willing to discard his property, but he forces other tribes to discard it, and now the whole army has long been detached, and many powerful tribal leaders are planning to kill him.
Songtsen Gampo looked ahead through the pouring rain curtain, and said with a gloomy gaze: "Those damn fools don't want to abandon their goods when they die, so even if they die, it's no wonder that the emperor is just letting them drag the pursuers behind." ”
The high priest nodded in agreement, and then spoke again, solemnly: "Your Majesty must give another strong order, let the whole army continue to advance in the rain, the Jinsha River in front, and Batang after crossing the river, as long as you enter Batang, the Han people will not dare to pursue." ”
Batang is the entrance of the plateau, but also the boundary line between the Tang Dynasty and Tubo, after entering Batang is the plateau, the deeper the climate, the more difficult the climate, suitable for the survival of the Tubo people, not suitable for the Han people to fight.
Songtsen Gampo suddenly whipped his horse whip and shouted: "Order the whole army to speed up again, no longer camp and rest tonight, as long as you hold on all night, you can return to the plateau." ”
As he spoke, his eyes were cold, and he said with pride on his face: "If the Han people dare to continue the pursuit, I will let them know what the barrier given by the gods is." At that time, it wasn't them who beat me, but I killed me at will. ”
The Tibetan people can adapt to the plateau environment, but the Han people will get sick when they go to the plateau, which is actually what later generations called altitude sickness, which is purely caused by low pressure and lack of oxygen. However, in ancient times, science and technology were not developed, and it was believed that this was a barrier given by the gods to Tibet for self-protection.
The heralds responded with a bang, and then dozens of people went to inform hundreds, hundreds of people, and thousands more, and finally all the troops braved the wind and rain, gritted their teeth and galloped in the heavy rain.
The pouring rain fell for two whole hours, and then the clouds gradually stopped and the rain fell, and the whole road was already extremely muddy, and all the Tibetan troops could only hold on.
Fortunately, the night finally passed, and the army crossed the Jinsha River overnight.
At this time, the sky has just brightened, and the sky after the rain is particularly clear. There is a morning glow in the east, like blood, gorgeous and bright, beautiful and abnormal.
The Tibetan army finally reached the entrance of the plateau, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time. As long as you pass through the Batang Pass in front, you will no longer be afraid of the pursuit of the Han people. Many of the warriors laughed as they wrung their clothes in the rain, and occasionally looked at the cargo of the ox carts in the distance.
Songtsen Gampo also breathed a sigh of relief, standing at the Batang Pass and laughing wildly. The overlord of Tibet suddenly looked back at the back, and his eyes shot out with hatred and unwillingness.
He looked up to the sky and roared, "Datang, I'll be back." Li Shimin, you wait for me. King Zhao of Xifu, what about your invincible Sanwei in the world, you still can't keep me, the descendant of the gods, ahahaha......"
He laughed wildly a few times, his mood was extremely relaxed, and he suddenly whipped the whip in his hand and said loudly: "The whole army moves, return to the plateau." ”
"Songtsan Gampo, Songtsen Gampo, Songtsan Gampo, Whoop ......" The sound of the mountain and tsunami sounded in the four fields, and everyone shouted the name of Songtsan Gampo in unison.
At this moment, because of the imminent return to the plateau, both the descendants of Songtsen Gampo and the various tribes were very excited, and in a short period of time, they even gave up the estrangement they had in the past few days, and even the morale and morale of the army suddenly recovered.
Songtsen Gampo laughed and whipped the horse. Hundreds of thousands of troops scrambled to follow, for fear that they would be chased and killed by the Han if they were late.
The Batang Pass sounds like a mouth, but in fact its width is as much as two or three miles, and such a width can accommodate tens of thousands of people to pass through at the same time, so the queue of hundreds of thousands of people is not long.
About half an hour later, the whole army entered Batang. At this moment, the whole army suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the leaders of many clans were ordering the warriors to rest.
Songtsen Gampo frowned slightly, and scolded loudly: "This place has never left the Tang Dynasty, and I will rest on the plateau." Order the army to continue to advance, and whoever dares to delay will not be spared. ”
"Your Majesty, don't ......"
The high priest next to him suddenly spoke up and persuaded: "Last night, the whole army was sleepy and tired, and all the departments and branches were already angry. ”
He suddenly rode his horse to Songtsen Gampo's side, and reminded in a low voice: "The Han people have a good saying, if the suppression is too great, it is easy to rebound, and if Your Majesty presses too hard, it is likely to cause a mutiny." ”
Songtsen Gampo's pupils shrank, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
Several generals beside him were overjoyed, and hurriedly opened their mouths to persuade: "Why doesn't Your Majesty send mercy and let the whole army rest on the spot?" This is also to leave some time for the baggage troops who have not yet entered the mountain, so that tens of thousands of ox carts can enter the Batang Pass. ”
Songtsen Gampo gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Those ox carts don't belong to me, why should Ben Puzan take care of time?" ”
"Your Majesty, although those ox carts were robbed by various ministries, and they were intercepted by themselves when they went to the plateau, but no matter what, they are the wealth of the entire Tibet, and you are Your Majesty Puzan of the plateau, and you are qualified to extract some taxes from them."
Hearing the word tax, Songtsen Gampo's eyes suddenly flashed.
The object's face gradually softened, but he still pretended to be displeased, and snorted coldly: "Okay, let the army rest in place for an hour." However, scouts had to be sent to investigate behind to prevent the Han people from rushing into pursuit. After all, this is not a plateau, just an entrance to the plateau. ”
Everyone nodded hurriedly and hurriedly sent someone to give the order.
After a few moments, the whole army stopped in place, and almost all the soldiers were tired and untied their leather armor, and then took off their wet clothes and began to wring water.
Songtsan Gampo was also wet, and it was very uncomfortable for his clothes to be tightly attached, but as Puzan, he couldn't pull down his face and take off his armor and undress, so he could only grit his teeth and get off the war horse and rest cross-legged.
Several guards next to him glanced at each other, and suddenly gathered around and turned their backs to their backs, and said respectfully: "Puzan can rest assured to remove his armor, and we will surround and cover it." Clothes are easy to get cold when they stick to the body, and Tubo can't do without the brilliance of Puzan......"
No matter how evil people are, there are supporters, and these guards are Songtsen Gampo's most loyal subordinates, and he nodded approvingly, standing in the circle surrounded by the guards, undressing, and twisting water.
I didn't know that the armor had just been taken off, and before I started to undress, I suddenly heard a few wild laughter on the mountain in the distance, and someone shouted loudly: "Songtsan Gampo, don't bare your ass, if you want to take off your clothes, you go to Huangquan and take it off, we are not in the mood to kill a bare-chested ......."
This voice rumbled, and instantly startled Songtsen Gampo, his face suddenly changed wildly, and he blurted out: "Han? ”
"Hahaha, that's right, it's the Han people!" In the distance, there was another loud laugh on the mountain, and suddenly a roaring voice shook the sky, and roared: "Xuanjia Guard, the whole army is attacking!" ”
Boom Boom –
Suddenly, countless loud noises shook the sky, but I saw that there were fires bubbling from the surrounding mountains, and one by one the cannonballs with their tails flew down the valley.
Fifty mountain cannons, all of which were flowering shells, landed and exploded, with a killing range of twenty meters, and fifty cannons fired a salvo that instantly blocked the entire valley.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" Songtsen Gampo roared, he didn't care about putting on the armor he had just taken off, he reached out and picked up the knife inserted in the ground, and hurriedly shouted: "Get up and kill, give me all up and kill." ”
Who are you killing?
You can't find an opponent at all!
Although the man on the hill in the distance shouted that the whole army should attack, and then not a single soldier rushed out until now, but the artillery on the surrounding hill sounded again, and the second round of bombardment had begun.
"Ah......" In the sound of artillery fire, but listening to the screams of a Tibetan soldier shocked the sky, his belly was overturned by shrapnel, and the whole person was also swept away by the air waves.
A moment later, it slammed into the ground, and blood spurted out of his mouth like money. He was frightened and wanted to cover his belly, but suddenly let out a terrified scream again, and said miserably: "My hands, my hands, ahhhhhh ”
It turned out that both of his arms had been blown off, and he had turned into a human stick.
The incomparably sharp pain struck, and I only felt a black in front of my eyes.
The warrior endured and did not dare to faint, because he knew that fainting was death, but there were countless panicked neighs behind him, and he suddenly saw a war horse scurrying towards him, followed by more panicked war horses, and the horse's hooves rumbled over the warrior's body, instantly trampling him into a puddle of mud.
The sight in front of him was like a ghost, full of artillery fire, countless war horses convulsed, and after fifty mountain cannons fired three rounds in a salvo, the valley was full of broken hands and remnants.
"Run, run, run......" Several guards around Songtsen Gampo were also disabled, and one person was lying on the ground with blood on his face, and before he died, he got up his last strength and roared loudly, saying: "Your Majesty Puzan, run back to the plateau, run back to the plateau......"
"Plateau! Yes, I'm running back to the plateau! Songtsen Gampo's spirit was shocked, and he drew his knife and slashed the war horse, and the war horse raised its head to the sky and neighed, and its four hooves soared wildly.
The same is true of countless Tubo people in the back, and at this moment the entire army is completely undisciplined. Everyone frantically fled to the plateau, and even killed their own compatriots as they scrambled to be the first.
By this time the hill artillery had already been fired, because the expeditionary force had brought only three salvos of shells. Songtsen Gampo stopped breathing a sigh of relief when he heard the sound of the cannon, but the next moment he was terrified again, because one of the warriors beside him was suddenly thrown away while running.
Boom Boom –
The sound of the explosion sounded under his feet, and the explosions continued one after another, but in the blink of an eye, the entire valley was covered with muddy water.
The muddy water was mixed with blood, and almost instantaneously the air would stink.
"Go back, go back!" Songtsen Gampo's soul was furious, and he kept shouting: "There is an ambush on the ground, give me a retreat......"
Before his words fell, he suddenly heard the sound of a tsunami on the surrounding mountains, but he saw countless Tang cavalry standing proudly on the cliff, the cavalry on the left holding a flintlock pistol in his hand, the cavalry on the right holding a divine arm crossbow, and a Tang Dynasty general standing on the cliff, looking up to the sky and shouting: "The whole army listens to the order, and shoots a salvo!" ”
