After a fierce battle, dead bodies were everywhere. Without exception, these dead bodies were all Tibetan people, so it was obvious that the Tang army won the battle in the end.
They won, but they didn't dispose of the body, which meant they didn't have enough time, which meant they had a narrow victory.
The corpses of the Tang army on the ground had been taken away. They were not very polite to the Tubo people. Most of the corpses had holes in their backs.
When the Tubo soldiers fight, those who really fight are always domestic slaves. Every Tubo soldier brings dozens of domestic slaves to fight. They say they are soldiers, but in fact they are supervising the battle from the rear during the war.
The knives in their hands are the sharpest in the Tubo army, but they are only used to cut their own slaves. The armor on their bodies is the best in the Tubo army, but they are only used to block stray arrows.
The numb slave soldiers can only fight for their lives on this tragic battlefield for the sake of their families.
After night falls, the vultures on the plateau begin to eat the corpses. For them, this is a gift from God. Not every generation of vultures can catch up with this gluttonous feast. In fact, there has been no war on the plateau for a long time.
Since Buddhism moved here, it has crushed all the tribes and brought them all under its command. Some tribes have become slaves, while others have weirdly transformed Buddhism and become human masters...
In the low sky, there are many stars, a crescent moon, and there are no clouds in the sky. When the ancients talked about the stars and the sky, they all had great respect. Under such a starry sky, anyone will realize their own insignificance and the shortness of life.
.
It’s no wonder that people on the plateau and on the plateau have had infinite reverence and humility towards God since ancient times. This vast starry sky will make those who look up feel ashamed and feel that they are really insignificant.
In the starfield, the land soaked in endless blood made a gurgling sound, and soon a strange head emerged.
His whole body was covered in blood and mud, and he had only one eye on his face, which was very terrifying. This only eye looked at the corpses around him with a look of satisfaction.
There was a faint black thread-like blood mist surrounding him, gathering towards him. The clay figure opened his hands, sucking in the endless death energy.
The hawks and vultures did not notice such a strange situation, and they were still pecking at the corpse happily.
After the black mist passed through them, all the eagles fell down, and their bodies stood upright.
The stone man crawled out of the bloody mud and looked around. The battle in Dami River was still going on. He didn't know when such a war would happen again.
For Tubo, this was a war to destroy the country, and they must resist desperately. After Tubo, a huge empire, was mobilized, the advancement of the Tang army was not as simple as in the early stage.
Especially after reaching the plateau, soldiers and horses will become uncomfortable, and it is especially difficult to fight the higher you go.
The lamas from the Jokhang Temple also came out in droves. People in the Ming Dynasty Shenji Camp, which Xue Rengui now valued very much, were in panic. They had basically lost their fighting spirit and desire to fight. They just wanted to return to the Ming Dynasty as soon as possible to avoid being excluded.
The stone man glanced at the Tang Army camp in the distance, then his body slowly sank into the soil and soon disappeared.
In the camp, in the coach's tent, Xue Rengui frowned and looked at the sand table, thinking for a long time.
Next to him, deputy general Qin Huaiyu asked: "General, you have been watching for so long and you still don't want to rest?"
"Your Majesty asked me to wipe out Tubo, but he only gave these soldiers and horses, and the general only sent some young people." Xue Rengui sighed and said: "I always feel that Your Majesty has other intentions, but we didn't understand it."
Qin Huaiyu came from a well-known family. His father was Qin Qiong, a general of the Tang Dynasty, who had been following Xue Rengui. He was also confused about this expedition. The Tibetan monks intercepted and killed the monks in the Central Plains, so it was understandable that they came to crusade.
However, His Majesty's order is neither to punish the murderous Buddhist monks nor to teach the Tibetans a lesson, but to destroy their country, barbarize their tribes, and occupy their land.
Tubo is not a small country. Looking at the barbarians from all over the world today, Tubo is considered one of the most powerful.
"Your Majesty is a sage monarch. He must have a back-up plan, but we don't know it. Just do your duty as a general and continue fighting." Xue Rengui sighed and said in a deep voice.
On a hill not far away, Zhao Yun climbed up to the watchtower and said to the sleepy Liu Chan beside him: "There are military camps of the Six Dynasties here. This is a rare opportunity. Your Highness can observe how the other Five Dynasties set up camp."
Liu Chan was obviously not very interested. He suppressed his sleepiness and nodded. His lazy look made Zhao Yun shake his head.
The Prime Minister is right, he must unify the Six Dynasties within his own generation. Otherwise, if His Highness is allowed to face people like Li Shimin and Zhu Biao, there is no hope of victory.
Liu Chan stared sleepily, looking into the distance, and suddenly pointed to a place and said, "It's so strange there."
Zhao Yun followed his hand and looked over, but there was nothing unusual.
"What's wrong?"
Liu Chan frowned and said, "Uncle Zhao, haven't you seen that there is a lot of black fog there?"
"Black mist?" Zhao Yun's eyes were extremely sharp and he could clearly see the details of far away places on the battlefield. He looked intently, but still saw nothing.
If you are an ordinary person, you may think that Liu Adou is talking nonsense again, but Zhao Yun attaches great importance to Liu Chan. He dragged Liu Chan into the air and jumped down, landing on the horse's back. He tightened the horse's reins and the horse came to Liu Chan's finger at a galloping speed.
place.
This place was a battlefield, with Tibetan corpses scattered on the ground.
This battle was a narrow victory for the Tang army, so they could collect the corpses. The Tibetan corpses were piled here, waiting to be burned the next day.
Zhao Yun looked around and found nothing strange. When Liu Chan saw so many corpses at first, he felt severe stomach discomfort, his face turned pale, and he almost felt sick.
"There's so much black mist!" Liu Chan shouted.
Zhao Yun felt more and more something was wrong. It was clear that the sky was clear, but where did the black fog come from? He held Liu Chan's wrist tightly with his hand, and let go of his five senses to feel the movement around him.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and realized something was wrong.
There were many carcasses of eagles lying on the ground. These flat-haired beasts eat carrion, so how could they die in large numbers here?
"Your Highness, what did you see?" Zhao Yun asked anxiously.
Liu Chan covered his eyes and shouted: "I can't see anything, I'm so dizzy, it's all fog! I'm so dizzy, Uncle Zhao, my head is so dizzy!"
Zhao Yun did not dare to neglect, so he put Adou on the horse and rode away.
Although he wanted to continue the investigation, Liu Chan's safety was the most important, and Zhao Yun was afraid that he would be infected with something dirty again, so he had no choice but to leave.
After they left, a head emerged from the ground. The only eye on the head was looking at Liu Chan's back, tilting his head and showing a very confused look.
