Chapter 217: Tubo reinforcements
Lu Dongzan was running, and the Tubo army retreated in groups of three or three. Facing the crazy Tang army, the Tubo army's morale was dispersed to the point where they could not take the knife. Tens of thousands of Tang troops killed 200,000 Tubo army.
Su Dingfang stood on a pile of corpses like a hill, looking at the Tubo people fleeing in groups of three or three. The rain poured on the armor, and blood flowed through his hair and dripped in front of him.
The battle has only stopped until now. Yang Sheng kicked away the corpse and came to his senses to see him on the battlefield. Blood was flowing all over the ground and the corpses were everywhere. This place became a Shura field. It was rare to rain in the Hexi Corridor that had been drying. God was crying for the dead creatures in this place.
There were only stars of Tang soldiers standing on the battlefield, with the smell of blood coming to the face, and the soldiers retching in pain as they looked at the bloody scene.
When the feeling of fatigue like a sudden fainting came from his body, Su Dingfang supported his body with a long knife.
Yuchi Gong hurriedly supported Su Dingfang, "It's OK."
Su Dingfang breathed the bloody air hard, and his nerves have been tense since he came to the Hexi Corridor. Every time he faced the attack of Tubo people, whenever he watched the soldiers around him fall down, the nerves became tense and tighter. Yuchi Gong looked at Su Dingfang and knew the mentality of the boy.
Yuchi Gong has experienced a battlefield where people cannibalize people. People who struggle on the edge of human nature can easily lose their minds and collapse. If Su Dingfang's string collapsed, this young man might become a useless person. Fortunately, he has survived now and has passed.
"Stay for a while." Yuchi Gong said to Su Dingfang.
Hearing this, Su Dingfang relaxed himself. The rain scene in his vision turned black and his feet fell down as soon as they were soft.
Cheng Chumo stood beside Gu Qing and took a breath as he watched the battle situation, "This is too fierce! Tens of thousands of people killed more than 200,000 Tubo people into a defeat."
In fact, the military strength of the Tang Dynasty has always been strong. Gu Qing knew in his heart that if he had no war elephant herd, Tubo's military strength was far from being an opponent of the Tang Dynasty with firearms.
"It's not that good!" Fang Yiai, who was standing beside him, also said.
"Why don't you go?" Gu Qing looked at Cheng Chumo, "Why are you so honest today?"
"Oh..." Cheng Chumo sighed, "The old guy at home doesn't let me charge in the battle, and said that I can protect you well. Besides, I am the eldest son of the family. What should I do if I have an accident?"
"Chumo, you have changed." Gu Qing looked at Cheng Chumo.
"Who has changed, you have changed." Cheng Chumo looked at Gu Qing angrily, "Look at your chin, it's starting to grow stubble. Where did the scholar with thin skin and tender flesh go before?"
Gu Qing touched the stubble on his chin and didn't have time to take care of himself these days.
The soldiers supported each other and came back in groups of three or three. Gu Qing said to the soldiers beside him, "Brothers, bury the pots and cook for the soldiers, take care of the bedding, and have a good rest!"
"yes!"
Tang Xuanzang rode his horse to the foot of Qilian Mountains. When the soldiers saw the visitor draw their swords and shouted, "Who is it!"
"I am not a monk Tang Xuanzang." Tang Xuanzang introduced himself on a horse.
As Gu Qing came to the Hexi Corridor from Chang'an, the soldiers who knew about the character Tang Xuanzang, said, "You wait, we'll report it now."
Gu Qing was cooking a big pot of porridge and added some minced meat.
It looks more gentle here, but Yang Sheng and Cheng Chumo are more wild. They carry swords and cut their flesh on the elephant that was blown to death.
Cheng Chumo put a piece of elephant meat on a rack and roasted it, "Does this elephant meat taste as exciting as beef?"
If these two guys were in modern times, they might be arrested. There are still quite a lot of elephants in this era, and there are no shortages. Gu Qing was cooking porridge and thinking about elephant meat, "Chumo, leave some for me."
"You have to eat and bake it yourself." Cheng Chumo grilled the meat carefully, "Look, I'm going to make you lazy."
Gu Qing carefully cooked the porridge, and a soldier hurriedly came to report, "Gu Shenzhi, Tang Xuanzang is here."
"What are he here to do?" Gu Qing bit a dry cake in his mouth and came outside the military camp. He saw Tang Xuanzang, who was exhausted, "Monkey Xuanzang, why are you here?"
"I want to be saved for the dead." Tang Xuanzang said devoutly.
"Please give me a try!" Gu Qing signaled Tang Xuanzang to go in.
Two monks came from the military camp, which caused people in the army to see it, but it did not cause much sensation. It was not that I had seen monks before.
Tang Xuanzang walked all the way to the west of Qilian Mountains and saw a river of blood flowing, and a scene like Shura Field kneeling on the ground with a thud.
The smell of blood coming from his nose, Bian Ji in front of the sea of corpses vomited in pain...
The soldiers ate some food casually and fell asleep to recover their strength. After sleeping for more than ten hours, Yuchi Gong listened to the scout's report and Tubo retreated all the way out of the Hexi Corridor and stationed on the border between the Tubo and Hexi Corridors.
Songtsen Gampo went to Dashi to ask for help. Now Dashi is in its strong moment. Dashi is also Alabo (defense of harmony), one of the powerful countries of the Middle East. In addition to Dashi, there is also the unclear attitude of India, and Tubo's neighbor Persia. Gu Qing listened to the report.
A few days after the battle in Qilian Mountains, the victory was sent to Chang'an. Tens of thousands of Tang troops killed more than 200,000 Tubo troops and recovered the middle section of the Hexi Corridor.
Gu Qing took Wang Jin to visit Qilian Mountains. I remember that there was a very large oil field here, and there was an oil field in the Hexi Corridor, which was the best material for making incendiary bombs.
"The mud here is so dark." Wang Jin said.
Hei? Gu Qing turned over from the horse and picked up a handful of mud and smelled it carefully for a long time. After walking a few steps, he picked up a handful of mud and smelled it.
Wang Jin couldn't understand what Gu Qing was doing.
"It's here!" Gu Qing laughed, "Dig! There's oil underneath!"
Wang Jin asked his men to dig out the soil, and he was skeptical and didn't understand what it meant. He led his men to dig for a day and a night, and finally dug things out. Several dumb men who dug the well climbed out of the well and called Wang Jin.
Wang Jin looked into the dug well and some black liquid oozed out of the soil and flowed out.
Suddenly, the soil layer broke open, and black oil sprayed out like a column of water. Wang Jin was washed with the washed oil, and his upper body was greasy and black.
Gu Qing also saw the gust of oil and smiled at the sky, "Hahaha! It's developed."
The stones were sprayed for three days and three nights before they stopped. Fortunately, they were not dug deep and the oil well was full of oil. Gu Qing explained to Wang Jin that he used this oil as a burning bomb. If he could, he would bring more of them. These things were a weapon of war.
Chang'an, Li Er laughed three times at the Jiebao.
The court meeting began, and the court talked about this good news. Changsun Wuji stood out and said, "I think General Yuchi should be asked to recover the Hexi Corridor as soon as possible and talk to Tubo about cultivation and rest."
After hearing this, Li Er nodded thoughtfully.
Fang Xuanling walked out of the court and said, "Your Majesty! Tubo inexplicably violated me in the Hexi Corridor. His ambitions are well known to everyone. I think the peace talks are inappropriate, and Songtsen Gampo must give the Tang Dynasty an explanation!"
After Fang Xuanling and Changsun Wuji talked, the court fell into silence. Fang Xuanling, who had always been low-key, actually spoke, refuting Changsun Wuji's peace talks.
Many old men in the court were thinking about the problem, and many people thought of Gu Qing's position. Many people could see that Gu Qing and Changsun Wuji had a wrestling. Fang Xuanling was Gu Qing's teacher, so the taste was not difficult to see.
Li Er sat down with a smile.
The atmosphere was not right, and Li Chengqian stood up and said, "Father, my son thought I would issue a manifesto first and ask Songzan Gampo to come to Chang'an to apologize. If Songzan Gampo does not come, I will decide the matter of seizing the Hexi Corridor."
On the scene, the mother-in-law said that the mother was right and the mother-in-law was right. Cheng Yaojin rarely didn't interrupt and stood calmly.
