Chapter 1232: Qamdo

Xue Renzhong was covered in a hangover, holding a stick of incense in his hand, bent and inserted it into the incense burner on the big desk, straightened up, and looked at the dozens of new spirit cards added on the wooden platform behind the desk, tears suddenly burst out from his eyes.

With the fall of Ding Qing, Bianba, Luolong, Basu and other places one after another, one tribe after another fell on this land. Xue Renyong, Xue Renyi, and Xue Renxiao, the brothers of Xue Renxiao, did not even have a complete corpse.

When Xue Renyong broke through in the border dam, he was surrounded by the cavalry of the Mangema tribe. He was injured and dropped from his horse and was trampled into meat paste by the war horse.

Xue Renyi was captured in Luolong and like Xue Jun, he was sentenced to dismemberment by Mangaba.

Xue Renxiao fought for a whole day in Ding Qing and the city was broken. Finally, he was trapped in a house and burned himself with a fire.

Now, the enemy has arrived outside Changdu City.

"Brothers, please go with peace of mind. Leave the rest to me. I will not let any of your enemies go. If you don't kill them all, Xue Renzhong will be hit by the five thunders!"

After wiping away the tears from his face, Xue Renzhong turned around and walked out of the door.

About five or six hundred people lined up under the stone steps.

These people have a common characteristic, either the surname Xue or the relatives and in-laws who share the same ties with the Xue family.

"Everyone, the most difficult time is coming, but the dawn of victory is waiting for us not far away." Xue Renzhong said sternly: "To this day, I might as well tell you that the reinforcements of the Tang Dynasty have arrived in Chamdo long ago, but they are still waiting for the best opportunity to give the enemy a fatal blow. And this best time requires us to create it. Ren Yong, Ren Yi, Ren Xiao have used their blood and life to complete the first half, and the remaining second half is ours."

"The bloody battle will end, and the blood debt will be paid for it!" More than 500 people shouted.

Xue Renzhong pressed down with his hands, and waited until the roar subsided, and then said, "After this battle, those who are alive don't have to stay here anymore. You can go wherever you want to go, and you will have no problem even if you go back to your hometown Hedong. The Minister of the Tang Dynasty has made it clear to me. Our Xue family is no longer a sinner, but a hero of the Tang Dynasty. You can return to your hometown with glory."

The faces below suddenly showed expectation on their faces.

They actually don’t have much expectations for whether they can go back or not, but they still have family members! When they were expelled, they took their families with their families. Here, seeking to live became the theme of everyone, and they couldn’t care about anything else. And these people also understand that if all the goals of a person’s life are just seeking to live, it would be not far from being completely desolate.

It would have been fine if they had been like this before, but they had clearly enjoyed glory and knew what kind of reserves a person needs to be glorified and surpass ordinary people.

But these things are impossible to obtain on this plateau.

Now, they finally got permission and saw hope, and they could go back. At least, their families could go back. When they went back, there was hope.

"The dead people need not be said." Xue Renzhong said: "You will not only be heroes of the Tang Dynasty, but also of our Xue clan. If I, Xue Renzhong, live for one day, I will support your family for one day. If I, Xue Renzhong, die, my son is still alive, and my grandson is still alive, I will still fulfill this. If I violate this oath, I will be cut off my son and grandson, and Xue Renzhong's lineage will never come forward."

This swearing is extremely cruel.

"I wish to shed the last drop of blood for the Xue clan." A Xue clan member raised his arms and shouted, then stepped out, knelt down at Xue Renzhong and the spiritual cards behind Xue Renzhong, and then turned around and strode away.

One by one, one by one, repeating the same movements with anger, and then leaving with great enthusiasm.

Until everyone left here, Xue Renzhong turned around and carefully covered the door of the room.

Tang Degong stood on the high city wall, looking at the endless camps of Mangaba's troops vaguely visible in the distance. Beside him, Wang Sager, the nominal king of Chamdo, and on the other side was the red-clothed Lama Lomba.

"There are really 70,000 or 80,000 people!" Seeing Xue Renzhong coming, Tang Degong pointed at the opposite side and said.

"After experiencing the battles between Bianba, Luolong, Batu, and Ding Qing, even though there are still 70,000 to 80,000 people, after the battle, at least thousands of losses were lost." Xue Renzhong said coldly.

"Not bad!" Tang Degong said: "According to the spies' reward, in Ding Qing, Dai Encuoba lost nearly two thousand elite combat soldiers. Xue Renxiao and Zhang Miao fought very well."

Xue Renzhong's nose felt sour, "Ren and brave, benevolence and righteousness are good."

"Of course." Tang Degong said: "Ding Qing fought and defeated Dai Encuoba. Did you see that, even the arrogant Mangaba is cautious now. Maybe he also knows that this battle is not as simple as he thought. Changdu is not Ding Qing."

Xue Renzhong took a deep breath. Of course, Changdu was not Ding Qing. From the moment they occupied this place, everything they did was for today's battle.

Now in Changdu City, the Xue family alone can control more than 10,000 elite combat soldiers, and more than 50,000 other young and strong men who can serve as reserves on the battlefield, have reserved enough food, weapons, and all kinds of workshops. What they have to do is to fight a lasting war of attrition with Mangaba.

Here, they are home court, and Mangaba is a guest.

Seventy or eighty thousand people sounds very scary, and the number of people is indeed a lot, but from another perspective, the consumption of 70,000 to 80,000 is also a terrifying number. If we cannot do it in one go, the consumption of logistics will be a huge problem for the passenger army. Among the 70,000 Mangaba, more than half of the people have to be used for logistics transmission. The Chaodu area, which has been destroyed, cannot provide so many people's consumption.

What's more, in order to deal with the current war, the Xue family had moved all the people, food, cattle and sheep that could be found in the entire Changdu in advance.

The so-called solid walls and clear fields is nothing more than this.

Although Mangaba has captured so many places, he cannot find any supplies in these places.

"Sagel, Lombar Lama, the army outside the city is approaching, and the former son of Tochar comes again. For these people in the city, there is still a lot of pressure. I am afraid that many people will have unstable emotions, boost morale and stabilize the people's hearts. These things will be troubled by the two of you." Xue Renzhong bowed to the two of them.

"General Xue, I must do this." Sag nodded repeatedly.

Lomba smiled and said, "Our Red Cult is now tied to you. Needless to say, all the lamas who are still in Changdu City have gone to appease the people and inspire morale."

Xue Renzhong bowed again: "After this battle, the Xue clan will become the most loyal believers of the Red Cult, and will be worshipped for many years in the future and will be incense."

"Thank you, General Xue."

"Longba Grand Lama, if we win this battle, it means you win. You are the Grand Lama now. In a few years, the title of Living Buddha will fall on you."

"I want my Red Church teachings to spread throughout the earth." Lomba said piously with his hands.

Tang Degong laughed: "That's time to be a living Buddha to achieve this!"

At the top of Changdu city, Xue Renzhong and Tang Degong were looking at the camp of Mangaba in the distance, and on the other side, Mangaba was also looking at the camp opposite the Chamdo city.

Before leaving, Mangba really didn't take these serf uprising troops seriously, but when he fought all the way here, he completely changed his view.

Although he won consecutive victories, only the parties involved can understand the taste. Every battle made him extremely angry. The enemy's tenacity far exceeded his expectations. Even if there were only the last few people left, these people dared to clamor to launch an attack on his army.

There were Tang people who were obviously not Tubo people, but most of them were Tubo people. These former lowly slaves were like angrily gazing at that moment. Even if they died, they would tear off a piece of meat from the enemy. This combat style made Mangeba a little scared.

Could it be that the Tang people made stones into gold? How did they turn these formerly timid slaves into warriors who are fearless?

After finally reaching Chamdo, Mangaba couldn't help but feel a little sore in his teeth when he looked at the majestic city in front of him.

Although Chamdo was also an important city in the past, how could it be compared with now? A layer of blue bricks was wrapped outside the city wall that was more than 20 feet high.

Square hard buildings, hexagonal hard buildings are built in the city wall and protrude outward. Round towers are available at every corner. Every distance, there are enemy buildings and corner towers. If Mangaba hadn't known that this was Chamdo, at first glance, he would have thought he had arrived at a Tongcheng Dayi in the Tang Dynasty.

The construction of the entire city is completely in the style of the Tang Dynasty, so it can be imagined appropriately. The inner defensive arrangement is roughly the same as those of the Tang Dynasty.

This is not simply difficult to fight, but rather difficult to fight.

"For several years, they have actually grown up like this." Mangaba said in a cold air.

But this matter is really impossible to explain in detail. If Delhi Chinan and his son Tochar have fought for so many years, how could the serfs uprising army develop to this point now?

"Chambo, it's not easy to fight!" Dai Encuoba's eyes showed fear. A small Ding Qing caused him to lose countless civilians and more than 2,000 elite soldiers. At present, Chambo is as big as Ding Qing's, and the defensive army is even more incomparable. If the rebels here had the same will and combat power as Ding Qing, he could not imagine what this battle would be like.
