The land of Tubo is located in the plateau and mountains.
The so-called "mountain troops" in later generations are often seen by people as troops operating in dense forests in the mountains. This impression is actually wrong.
For terrain like "mountain dense forest", even an ordinary field army must be able to handle it, and there will be no special mountain troops.
Now that the mountain troops are created, the real direction will only be the plateau, which is the real mountain.
After all, the plateau is the foundation of the highest mountain in the world. Without this gradual trend, there will be no ultimate peak.
Only such terrain requires specially designed mountain troops.
But then again, since even later generations will need to specifically design and build mountain troops, it is conceivable that these territories will be even more difficult to conquer in this era.
Even though a lot of preparations were made in advance...
Yu Shinan still had a troubled expression on his face, "This place is so cold without any wind or snow. It's really..."
While muttering something in his mouth, Yu Shinan also turned his head to look at the mountains and rivers farther away.
The vast and traceless desolate wilderness, the vast and traceless distant snowfield.
Although the rainfall can be said to be abundant, what lies before us is desolation...
There are actually many similarities between Tubo and places like Tuyuhun and Goguryeo, in that animal husbandry is the main industry and agriculture is the supplement.
But the animal husbandry of Tubo is different from that of Tuyuhun. Tuyuhun mainly uses sheep and horses, while Tubo mainly uses yaks.
This thing is strong and cold-resistant, and the key is that it is a specialty of the plateau.
Whether it is for military use or as a food reserve, it is a good choice in Tubo. But it is different here with the Tang Army...
Not to mention the loaded oxen and riding horses, the army itself was exhausted.
Just after ascending to the plateau for the first time, the Forbidden Army almost directly entered a state where "the body seemed to be hollowed out".
In such a state, one can imagine how difficult it was for the Tang Dynasty's imperial army to move.
but……
Since ancient times, magicians have not performed unprepared performances, and the strongest imperial army will certainly not fight unprepared battles.
Although this preparation is not easy, but...
Now that the army has arrived at the target area, at this point... the drugs that were difficult to raise can finally be put to use...
"Holy Lord, does this medicinal soup really work?"
Li Ji still felt a little nervous. The army had already been released. Let's not talk about whether the medicine was useful. First of all, the food was definitely useful. After all, it was being consumed, and it was being consumed very quickly.
Li Ji was not the only one who was nervous. Everyone present, Yuchi Laomo, Yin Qiao, Duan Zhixuan, and Yu Shinan were also very nervous. If this thing didn't work, it would be a big trouble. The Forbidden Army would be very embarrassed here...
It would be embarrassing for most people to be embarrassed where they are, but for the Imperial Army to be embarrassed where they are, the cost is not low.
Li Sheng smiled slightly.
"Of course I can't guarantee that. But...I can tell you something called the law of large numbers."
"The law of large numbers?"
Yu Shinan was startled when he heard this. As a general... he thought about it and asked, "What is the law of this big tree..."
"If the three hundred thousand forbidden troops are used, there should be a few hundred people who take the medicine and it will be effective..."
Everyone was actually quite confident in Li Sheng. Although they were hesitant at this time, they were mainly nervous.
However, when they asked this question and saw Li Sheng's answer, everyone looked confused for a moment.
Damn, this is too casual.
There should be hundreds of people who take the medicine and it will be effective... Doesn't this mean that there may be dozens of people who will suffer from vomiting and diarrhea after taking the medicine...
This is a bit too scary...
When everyone was confused, Li Sheng looked at the expressions of these people with a strange expression, "What are you doing... Anyway, when we come to Tubo, we don't need the entire army to deal with altitude sickness, at least we don't need to be perfect.
Let’s solve it…”
"As long as the army can basically stabilize its cardiopulmonary condition, and there are hundreds of people in perfect condition to attack as elites, wouldn't it be possible? After all, this plateau..."
Li Sheng raised his eyes and looked at the white snow on the mountains in the distance. "The Han people cannot stay for long. Although the Tubo people live for a long time, how can they really adapt..."
Li Sheng's faint voice finished speaking...
Yu Shinan and others looked dumbfounded and fell into thinking... After a moment, a light bulb suddenly lit up on their foreheads with a "ding" sound.
"That's right... Our strategy from the beginning is to dismantle it from the top of the mountain!"
Yu Shinan suddenly let out a loud voice, and then everyone on the side also woke up.
This time the Forbidden Army came to conquer Tibet. The plan was to use the medicine that the Forbidden Army had, and its ability to adapt to higher plateaus was better than that of ordinary Tubo people. In turn, the Tubo people's advantages were used to complete this war.
Thinking about it, then...
What Li Sheng said was conservative, but this medicine should have an effect. If it really didn't work... I don't think Li Sheng would have mentioned it at the beginning.
And since it is mentioned, it means that this medicine is used in an army of 300,000 people. A few hundred people will definitely not be so few, but even if you think conservatively, it should not be less than a few thousand people!
The number of thousands of people may be a drop in the ocean for the entire Tubo army, but...
Thousands of forbidden troops were specially selected to attack from above!
The Tubo people will almost certainly have nothing to do with them, and they will be in an invincible position!
Now everyone finally understood what it meant to be in an invincible position.
As long as these thousands of people launch attacks from high altitudes and the Tibetans cannot attack this offensive point upwards, they can only try to cut off their food and grass supplies.
To cut off its food and grass supplies, we can only attack outside. In this case, the situation is equivalent to...
The Tubo people will have to face off against the Imperial Guards of the Tang Dynasty, and will not be able to retreat within the borders and use the plateau for defense!
And in this way, for most of the Tang army...even if the effect of the red flower medicine is unknown, for this position, some effects are completely sufficient.
This is equivalent to the fact that the Tubo people will have to use hard power to confront the Tang Imperial Army head-on!
And even... they had to fight at a location selected by the Tang Dynasty Forbidden Army.
Thinking about it this way, everything fell into place.
Yu Shinan and others were beaming with joy. When they went out to fight and Li Sheng was here, things would be different!
Of course, if you think about it carefully, it’s not surprising. After all, Li Sheng has already accumulated so much merit...
"It was the ninth year of Zhenguan, and the imperial army of the Tang Dynasty pacified Tubo."
"After returning home in triumph, King Songtsen Gampo of Tubo was willing to offer the city. He has been living as a prince for generations, and all his children were sent to Chang'an as hostages..."
"The common people of the country traded with Lingzhou merchants and benefited from wool. In addition, factories were frequently built in Lingzhou at that time. The people of Tubo went out to work and became far richer than their hometown neighbors. The people's hearts were all in compliance, and there was no longer any need to talk about weapons.
