Commander Jiacuo stood on the top of the small stone fort. Counting the time, the monk soldiers from Leiyin Temple should have captured Shazhou.
I just don’t know when they will be able to cheat the Big Rock Castle.
Jiacuo was a little anxious. He was wearing a tiger skin skirt over his armor. This was a reward for killing a Tang Army brigade commander during the southern expedition a few years ago.
There is a gold ring on Jiacuo's right arm. This is Jin Gaoshen, which shows Jiacuo's identity.
In the Tubo military system, there are five levels of status: the first is Sese, the second is gold, the third is gold with silver ornaments, the fourth is silver, and the fifth is wrought copper. The hoop is an armband worn on the right arm.
After Jinhuan surrendered, Jiacuo was already considered to be a middle-level member of the Tubo aristocracy. He owned a castle and a hundred miles of land under Shangqixin'er territory, and his family raised two thousand slaves of various ethnic groups.
Jiacuo thought that by killing more Tang troops, he could replace Jin Gaoshen with Se Se Gaoshen, and then his family could raise more slaves.
Not only Jiacuo, but also Tubo officers and warriors at all levels from the commander down were gearing up.
Tubo's five-class petition system was not only related to military positions, but also closely related to the size of the territory and the number of slaves.
As long as the war is won, Tubo will be able to obtain land and population. The large fertile land in Longyou area has been developed for hundreds of years, but Tubo is coveted.
The huge profits of the Silk Road also made the Tibetan people jealous. If they could monopolize this trade route, they could suck blood from Datang and Dashi at the same time.
The lowest level samurai wanted to be sued and get their own fiefdom and manor.
And officers like Jiacuo also want to obtain higher status and expand their family's power.
Today's Tubo, under such a military merit system, is full of warlike atmosphere from top to bottom. There is even a saying in Tubo that "death from illness is ominous".
Bon priests told the Tibetan people that old, weak, sick and dying in bed would bring shame to the family, which was very unlucky.
So every time when Zampu or Dagong talked about the "big material collection" and asked warriors to bring weapons and food to fight, some old and sick warriors would bring a small amount of food and worn-out weapons to fight.
Die on the battlefield.
Jiacuo looked at the big stone fort where the Tang army was stationed in front, and suddenly heard the clang of weapons clashing.
Jiacuo quickly poked his head out, were those monks taking action?
The sound of fighting continued all morning, and at noon, Jiacuo, who was still on the fortress, saw a white flag rising slowly.
Done!
Commander Jiacuo immediately called his three centurions.
"God Zanpu bless us, Master Soma has led the monks to capture the Big Stone Castle!"
Because this was an extremely confidential operation, Gyatso did not even inform his centurions.
When they heard that the Big Stone Castle had been taken, the three centurions looked ecstatic.
The Big Stone Fort was a strong fortress that blocked the Tibetan invasion of Shazhou. Every year during the spring and autumn defenses, Tubo and Tang Dynasty would fight in the narrow mountain stream in front of the two stone forts.
But neither the Tang Dynasty nor Tubo could capture the other's fortress.
But the two sides had already become mortal enemies. When they heard that the Tang Army's big stone fortress had been captured, one of the centurions said: "Lord Jiacuo! Please let me lead the warriors and sacrifice the heads of the Tang Army to the great Tianshengzan."
general."
Another centurion said: "Lord Gacuo, these brave monks captured the Great Stone Fort, but there are two hundred Tang troops in the Great Stone Fort. I am afraid that they will not be able to control the situation. We should enter the Great Stone Fort immediately!"
Jiacuo cursed secretly in his heart, these two centurions just wanted to grab the credit quickly!
The Tubo method of calculating military merit was to kill the enemy before the battle. There were two hundred Tang soldiers in this big stone fort, all of whom were armored elites. What a great achievement this was!
Moreover, the weapons and armor of the Tang army were also valuable items. Although Tubo could also make its own armor and weapons, the quality was far inferior to the standard weapons and armor of the Tang Dynasty.
A piece of exquisite Tang armor can be sold to the martial Tubo nobles at a high price. These guys go there for military merit and trophies.
Jiacuo cursed secretly in his heart, but he also knew the principle of giving both kindness and power.
As a general, he cannot prevent his subordinates from making contributions and getting rich, not to mention that he will have his own share of these achievements and spoils of war?
However, Jiacuo was still very cautious. He pointed at his two men and said: "Renma, Ngawang, and Dawa, the three of you will each lead fifty elite men under your command and enter the big stone castle."
Jiacuo's tone increased and he said more: "In order to ensure that Dalun's plan to attack Longyou goes smoothly, Dashi Fort must be firmly in the hands of our own people!"
"If the Tang army resists even a little bit, you can kill them directly!"
The three centurions said murderously: "As you command!"
"After the threats to the Great Stone Castle are cleared, you immediately open the gate of the Great Stone Castle and prepare for the big talk!"
"As you command!"
At the same time, the player disguised as a monk has met with the original defenders of Big Stone Castle.
Qin Chuan, who was bald and sitting on the main seat, said: "We have already raised the white flag, and the Tibetan army in the small stone castle opposite will definitely take action soon."
The guard of Xiaoshibao is Sha Jie, a brigade commander of the Doulu Army. Dashibao is the gateway to Shazhou, so the guard of Dashibao was personally promoted by Jia Sishun and was loyal to the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, the brigade commander could still continue to serve as the guard of Dashi Castle after the fifth captain rebelled.
Sha Jie raised his hand and said, "I have made friends with Gyacuo, the guard of the Little Stone Fort, after fighting with him for several years. He is a thoughtful guy. He will definitely leave part of his army in the Little Stone Fort."
Qin Chuan nodded and said: "We have already expected this, so we all shaved our heads. We will go to the small stone castle after the Tibetan people over there enter the big stone castle."
Shasuke was shocked: "This is too dangerous!"
Qin Chuan said: "Wealth can be found in danger!"
Before this battle, in order to respond to the needs of players, the "system" was upgraded again.
In the player store, an item called "Resurrection Stone" appeared.
The price of the Resurrection Stone is 80 contribution points, which is cheaper if you qualify for a test.
After purchasing the resurrection stone, once you die, you can be resurrected next to King Jianning. After resurrection, your attributes will be cleared, but your title, position and reputation with other "NPCs" will be retained.
This new prop is a blessing for players. Although 80 contribution points is expensive for experienced players, it is also very important to get one more "life".
Especially top players like Yuchi Xin and Cui Tao, they not only spent a lot of attribute points to strengthen their bodies, but also completed many tasks to achieve their current status.
Players like Qin Chuan have redeemed resurrection stones, so that once they die, they can be resurrected next to Li Yan.
The reward for the task of capturing the Little Stone Castle is enough to purchase a Resurrection Stone.
At this moment, the gate of the small stone fort opened, and a group of Tibetan warriors rushed towards the big stone fort.
