Dark clouds were gathering over the city, the cold wind was blowing, and the world seemed to be getting violent.
A large army came slowly from the north, like a rolling wave, boundless and with no end in sight, with flags flying, horses neighing, and dust flying in the wind. It stopped when it advanced five miles outside Luoshe City.
Without moving, a murderous aura rushed straight into the sky.
Soon, several generals came up slowly on horseback, stopped within an arrow's distance, pointed and said something. After a while, a man rode forward without carrying weapons, stopped at the gate of Luoche City, and used
Tang Yu, who was not very proficient, shouted loudly: "Tang Jun, listen, let your general come out and answer."
Arrogant, indifferent, and arrogant attitude.
In Luozhe City, Tang Jun stared at the opponent coldly without saying a word, and no one paid attention. Qin Huaidao also looked at the opponent without saying a word, but his heart felt a little thumping. This attitude did not seem like a negotiation, so he said to the captain of the village guard team beside him: "
Take your people to the palace and bring Songtsen Gampo, quickly."
The other party agreed and hurried away.
"Sir, something is wrong." Duan Zan said in a low voice.
"Give your opinion."
Duan Zan continued: "Why don't I feel any sincerity? Doesn't this army also want to seize the opportunity to become king? Sure enough, it is the time of trouble, heroes appear, and everyone is vying for the king. They come from the north, could they be from the north?
From the perspective of the Tubo area, the army is closest to the north."
"Find out your identity first and then talk about it." Qin Huaidao responded in a low voice. He carefully observed the army in the distance. The discipline was quite strict and the momentum was good. It was not like the hurried march from Lun Qinling. It was a bit more steady.
, this army is difficult to deal with.
Outside the city, the envoy asked a few questions impatiently. Seeing that no one answered, he couldn't help but sneer and said: "Why, Tang Jun is a coward, don't you even dare to answer?"
Duan Zan governed the army harshly and maintained strict discipline, but no one paid any attention to him.
The other party continued to make all kinds of sarcasm and ridicule, and the soldiers turned a blind eye. However, Qin Huaidao saw many problems from the other party's attitude. As for the insults, a man who was about to die did not care. After waiting for a while, he saw Songtsen Gampo being escorted in a hurry.
He came and asked bluntly: "Look, whose troops are outside?"
Songtsen Gampo didn't recognize the envoy outside the city. He raised his head and looked into the distance, but the distance was a bit far and he couldn't see clearly. He shouted in Tubo: "Who are you? Tell me your name quickly."
The other party was just a junior officer at the grassroots level and did not know Songtsan Gampo. He asked: "Who are you? You deserve to die for helping the Tang army."
"Bold, I, King Songtsen Gampo, will ask your general to come over and answer the question." Songtsen Gampo reprimanded angrily, his face turned livid with anger. A small officer dared to bare his teeth. This is really unreasonable.
The other party was startled when he heard the name. Without saying anything, he pulled the horse's head and rode away.
Not long after, several generals slowly came over, but they did not dare to get too close. One of them shouted: "But my king? Tenzin of the Northern Army is here to visit the king. I ask my king to be at ease. Tenzin will definitely capture the city of Luoshou and rescue him."
My king."
"Well, Tenzin, I ask you, are you willing to surrender to the Tang army?"
The other party didn't speak, and his expression was a little complicated.
Although Qin Huaidao couldn't understand what was said, he noticed something strange and asked coldly: "It seems that he has also had different intentions and is preparing to follow Qin Ling's example. What is this man's name? Does he have family members in Luoshou City?"
"Tenzin, the supreme commander of the Northern Army, has an army of 100,000 in his hands. He is the son-in-law of Xiao Lun and the chief of the largest tribe in the north. The king has asked him to guard the north. He has great trust. Together with the other 100,000 troops controlled by Lu Dongzan, the great Lun.
To form a check and balance, I didn't expect that I also had different intentions. You bastard deserves to be killed." Songtsen Gampo explained angrily.
Xiao Lun is the second prime minister, one level lower than Da Lun. Qin Huaidao asked: "His people are not in Luoxue City?"
"Except for my father-in-law's family, no one else is here."
Qin Huaidao understood. This guy was based in the north. There was no one in Luoche City, so he had no worries and asked: "I am the commander-in-chief of the Tang Army. What do you want to do?"
"Tang General, listen carefully. From today on, the north of Tubo will be returned to me. I will hand over my father-in-law's family and give me a million gold coins. I will retreat immediately, otherwise I will attack the city and leave no one behind."
At first glance, Qin Huaidao really wanted to support his troops and respect himself. He had a big appetite and was very cunning. If he really had a million golds, he could return to his hometown in the north to quickly expand his army, and he could also get the reputation of rescuing his father-in-law from the hands of the Tang army. He would kill two birds with one stone.
At that time, troops will be sent south, and all parties will definitely respond. It's a good plan.
As for Qinling, he attacked the city directly, captured Luoshou City in one fell swoop, and then used his family's influence to bring Songtsan Gampo to order the princes. This guy used retreat to advance. He first took advantage, earned reputation, and then raised an army. He was obviously a traitor.
Hero.
After seeing through the other party's intentions, Qin Huaidao sneered: "Tenzin, right? If you dare, attack the city. I can promise you one thing. If the city gate is lost, everyone in the city will die, leaving you with an empty city.
It depends on how you explain it to the Tibetan parties."
Tenzin's eyes sharpened, and he became a little more fearful. If this really happened, he would have indirectly forced the grandpas and royal family members in the city to their deaths, and he would become the target of public criticism and attack.
Thinking of this, Tenzin shouted angrily: "What do you want?"
"You have only two choices, either surrender to the Tang army, or go back to your north and stay quiet."
"You are looking for death!" Tenzin was furious, but did not say anything more, and left on horseback. He knew very well that he had offended the Tang army, and he would be waiting for death when he returned to the north. He had to do something, but when he thought of Qin Huaidao's words, his fear was not reduced, and he became angry with shame.
, shouted: "Go back and discuss."
The others agreed and followed Tenzin back.
Qin Huaidao watched the other party leave and paid attention. He found this person tolerant, adaptable, ambitious, smart, and cautious in his actions. He asked in a deep voice: "Songtsen Gampo, does this person have any weaknesses?"
"Weakness?" Songtsen Gampo was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "He doesn't even care about his father-in-law's life or death, what other weakness can he have? Xiaolun paid a high price to let Tenzin command the Northern Army, and he was extremely kind to him.
I didn’t expect him to be a white-eyed wolf.”
"You're such a king, you can't even control your subordinates?"
Songtsen Gampo smiled bitterly and said: "Tubo is different from the Tang Dynasty. The tribes have a balance of power and the army is raised by the tribes themselves. You can understand the tribe as the five surnames and Qiwang of your Tang Dynasty, but your five surnames and Qiwang cannot command the army.
, Tubo is on the contrary, the king’s military power is actually very limited.”
"So you chose Lu Dongzan, the biggest force, to cooperate?"
"No, to be precise, everyone gets what they need. Dasun uses me to expand his power, and I use him to regain the king's power. The progress was going very smoothly at first, and the old nobles were suppressed. Unexpectedly, something happened to Lu Dongzan, and you guys came too.
Everything is over." Songtsen Gampo said, his eyes full of loneliness.
"In this case, why not cooperate with the Tang army in lobbying all parties to vote, and be the king who promotes the integration of Tubo and Tang Dynasty. At least your achievements will be recorded in history in the future. Don't forget that Tubo cannot remain independent forever. With Tubo's strength and resources,
, population and productivity, it is impossible to defeat the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty has enough strength to defeat Tubo, why hinder the integration?" Qin Huaidao advised.
Songtsan Gampo smiled bitterly: "In your opinion, this is a good thing, because you are the winner, but in the eyes of the Tibetans, I am a traitor and a weak and incompetent king, and I will be crucified on the pillar of shame."
"No!"
Qin Huaidao interrupted directly: "Many people will scold you if you come here now, but in ten years? When the Tubo people live a good life, there are no slaves, everyone has fields, cattle and sheep, and there is no need to worry when walking on the road.
If you are killed, you don't have to worry about what to eat next. At that time, everyone will only think of you well and thank you for promoting the great integration. On the contrary, if the war in Tubo continues, the people will not be able to survive, and the whole family may even be exterminated, you will be the real sinner."
The words were so shocking that Songtsen Gampo hesitated.
There is a huge disparity in the strength of Tubo. In the past, we were not afraid because the Tang army could not come to Tubo territory. But now it is different. If the Tang army can enter 10,000 people, it will be able to enter more. With the combat power of the Tang army, Tubo cannot stop it at all. The destruction of the country will be a matter of time.
, it just depends on how it is destroyed.
Is reunification as soon as possible after very few sacrifices?
Or was it occupied after the genocide?
Qin Huaidao did not rush, but reminded: "You have to understand the truth. The war is burning in Tubo, not the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty is not afraid of continuing the fight. Tubo's comprehensive strength cannot defeat the Tang Dynasty. Obstacles will only plunge Tubo into endless trouble."
During the war, the interests of the Tubo people were lost. It was destroyed, destroyed, and the people were gone. At worst, the Tang Dynasty will relocate its population and rebuild it. Go back and think about it carefully. You don't have much time."
Saying that, Qin Huaidao waved his hand and signaled the village guard team to escort the lost Songtsen Gampo away.
Duan Zan looked at Songtsen Gampo's northern shadow. He was clearly a little rickety. He lost his previous uprightness and confidence. He smiled and said, "Sir, you have such heart-wrenching words. I'm afraid Songtsen Gampo is tempted."
"This guy has been vacillating. He has written two letters and sent them out. You have also read the contents, but they are not very powerful. If we can convince him to take a stand this time and carefully attract the troops to surrender, it will save us a lot of trouble. If not, it will save us a lot of trouble.
, then he is worthless, have all the letters written by other officials been sent out?" Qin Huaidao said in a deep voice.
"Sent it out, but the success rate is probably not high."
"It's hard to say. Songtsen Gampo was found to be the chief general, but the officials were found to be in the middle, such as the commander of thousands or the commander of ten thousand. It would be a good thing if they could bring people over and add up to it. Do your best to do your best and obey fate. It's really not possible to kill him.
Just for them, let's withdraw our troops. Without the legal existence of the royal family, the Tubo soldiers from all walks of life will become kings, and wars will break out. Let them internally quarrel for a while, and then our troops will come back and come in again."
"My lord is wise." Duan Zan was overjoyed. He was originally really afraid that Qin Huaidao would fight to the death in anger and kill all the troops. Death was not terrible, but the key point was not worth it. Now he was convinced.
…
In a side hall of the palace, Qin Huaidao was sitting in the main seat, watching an old man being escorted in, and made a slight scorn. The other party was not polite, sat down and looked at Qin Huaidao, and asked in unskilled Tang dialect:
"What do you want from me?"
"Do you know? Your son-in-law came with an army of 100,000 people, just outside the city. He was preparing to attack by force, but he did not care about the consequences of doing so. What do you think of this?" Qin Huaidao asked indifferently.
The other party was startled, then began to think deeply, his eyes becoming more gloomy.
Qin Huaidao was not in a hurry and waited patiently.
Not long after, the other party suddenly asked: "Can I see him?"
"Okay, but I need an explanation."
"What do you want to explain?" the other party asked.
Qin Huaidao pointed to the gloomy sky outside the window and said: "The world outside is very free, and the Tang Dynasty is more prosperous. Do you think I should kill you or keep you?"
The other party understood, and his face became more and more ugly. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Since Tenzin has made a decision, he will not care about the consequences. I may not be able to make a comeback. However, I can lead the whole family to cooperate with your army in all actions."
"If you want to live, you have to show action and sincerity." Qin Huaidao said calmly. If he can become a Tubo gossip, his ability and influence are not small, and he is worth winning over.
The other party thought for a while and said: "I can bring in an army of 20,000 people. The general in charge is my son. He should be on the way. I can also persuade some officials to defect to the Tang Dynasty. Whatever you want to know or do, I can cooperate with you. No.
Thinking about the future and just trying to survive, is that okay?"
"You can push Tenzin to the top, it's impossible without leaving a backup plan. There should be people loyal to you in Tenzin's army, right?" Qin Huaidao calmly stated the real purpose of this meeting.
The other party knew that Qin Huaidao was angry because of Tenzin's matter. This was an opportunity and the only one. If he missed it, the whole family would not be safe. He did not hesitate and said bluntly: "Of course, but I need to send some people out of the city to persuade him."
"Write a letter and ask a servant you trust to send it out of the city. The family cannot be touched." Qin Huaidao drew the bottom line.
The other party nodded without refuting.
Qin Huaidao asked someone to bring him pen and ink, and the other party took it and wrote three letters on the spot, using Tubo script. Qin Huaidao couldn't understand it. He took the letter to Songtsen Gampo and read it over, and then asked him to find a man who often traveled to the Tang Dynasty.
The shopkeeper read it again, and after confirming that there was no problem, he returned to the side hall and signaled the village guards to take Xiao Lun back to find someone to send the letter out of the city.
Not long after, a general in charge of taking care of the hostages came over and said, "Sir, ten more people have written letters and asked to be sent out. Do you see it?"
"Find a few more people to translate. Once you are sure there is no problem, ask them to send someone out. Remember, only servants or slaves can be sent out. No one in the family is allowed to leave the city to prevent escape."
"Follow the order!" The other party hurried away.
Qin Huaidao sat in the side hall and pondered. He had done everything he should and could do. Looking at the reactions of the various armies, he didn't know what happened to Xue Rengui and the others.
"Uuuuuu——"
Suddenly, a deep horn sound came.
Qin Huaidao was shocked. He quickly rushed out of the side hall and rushed forward along the street. Soon he came to the city gate. He rushed up to the city wall and saw that Tenzin detached an army and advanced towards the nearby camp. There were all recruited soldiers.
There were a total of 5,000 people. Qin Huaidao arranged them into groups of ten according to the military system of the Tang Dynasty. He chose the group leader. Five groups formed a team, and the group leaders chose the captain. By analogy, the organizational structure was established.
The upper-level lieutenants, generals, and generals are also selected by the Tubo people themselves. The Tang army is not arranged to intervene. The entire army is made of Tubo people, which looks very pure. This organization makes the Tubo people feel at ease. As for the top, generals
You have to listen to Tang Jun.
In order to ensure command and management, Qin Huaidao asked Wang Meng to lead a thousand Tang troops to station in the central area. Between the five trenches were the Tubo people, and named them "Temporary First Army".
Duan Zan also hurried over and was a little surprised when he saw this scene: "These bastards did not attack Luoche City, but instead attacked the temporary army. What do they mean?"
"Establish your authority. First, kill the temporary army to deter others from joining our army. Second, warn our army. However, there is also a side reaction that Tenzin does not dare to attack Luoche City directly for fear of indirectly killing the Tubo royal family.
, the accusations against powerful people and officials have led to a crusade, this person has a lot of tricks up his sleeve."
"It makes sense, so what should we do?" Duan Zan asked.
"Be prepared to raise an army of two thousand people to go out of the city to respond at any time. In addition, the city gate should be ready to support our army's retreat back to the city to prevent the enemy from killing them later," Qin Huaidao warned.
Duan Zan agreed and hurried away safely.
At this time, Tenzin's attacking troops were only two thousand meters away from the temporary first army, and they began to speed up. They all mobilized troops. They were preparing to crush them directly, and it would be decided in a battle.
Qin Huaidao looked at the middle area of the camp, wondering if Wang Meng could resist?
At this time, Wang Meng had already issued the battle order in the camp, and the temporary army commander ran up to him and shouted: "Listen up, the general of the Tang Army has said, kill one person, and you will be rewarded with a lot of silver, and you will cash it in after the war."
Hold on to your weapons and make sure you move carefully. If you can make a fortune and buy some delicious food for your family, let’s take a chance.”
Everyone's eyes lit up instantly. For the bottom of the slave society, any feelings of family and country are fake, and the real thing is whether they can eat enough.
The amount of money is enough for everyone to live well for a month.
After the war, everyone is unsure whether they can get it, but the opponent has already rushed over, so they have no choice but to fight hard.
Looking at the opponents who were getting closer and closer, each one's eyes were shining as if they were silver. Thinking of the unopened pot at home, the old people and children being skinny, and the longing for a bite of meat but not getting it, the eyes became fierce and determined.
At this time, the rushing army began to shoot arrows.
I don't know who shouted something, and everyone retreated into the ditch and hid.
The arrows came roaring, making a shrill whistle, like the roars of countless ghosts. However, there was a pile of soil in front of the trench, and it was about one and a half meters deep. Most of the arrows were blocked by the pile of soil, and a few fell on the opposite side of the trench.
On the earth wall, there were still some people who flew to who knows where, except for a few unlucky ones, they were all fine.
Everyone suddenly realized the role of the trench, and felt confident. They exchanged glances with each other, gripped their weapons, and waited for the opportunity. A hail of arrows came roaring from everywhere, making a loud sound like hail falling, but no one was frightened.
Some brave ones even climbed up to take a look.
The horses sprinted at a strange speed, and they reached the front in a blink of an eye. With their backs against the trench, everyone remembered the fighting method taught by the Tang Army. They each held their spears and knives tightly and squatted still, waiting for the horses to leap into the air and cross the trench, passing over their heads.
, one by one suddenly took action and stabbed the horse in the belly.
"Herod!"
Countless war horses were in pain and screamed. They jumped over the trench and rushed forward a few steps. They stumbled and fell to the ground. The speed was too fast. The people on the horses were thrown away and landed just near the second trench.
He fell directly into the ditch and was chopped down by someone hiding in the ditch.
The battle became strange. Countless Tubo Northern Army cavalry rushed up. They were very fast and jumped high over the ditch. However, someone plotted against their horses. After landing, they flew out and were slashed to death before they could get up.
Some survivors crossed the first trench and rushed to the second trench in one breath. They wanted to kill them, but they found that the people were under the trench and could not reach them even if they bent down. However, the horses were so fast that they could not stop and could only
He jumped over the second trench and continued to rush forward, but was also plotted and fell into the third trench.
The battle became fierce in an instant, but it was also strange.
The people in the fourth and fifth trenches behind were a little shocked when they saw this scene. How could the battle be so big? Can the infantry also kill the cavalry charging in a group?
Wang Meng was also a little confused. He had never seen this kind of fighting method before, but he was worthy of being a veteran on the battlefield. He reacted quickly and immediately said to Qiangba, the top general of the temporary first army: "Quickly, let the people in the fourth and fifth trenches rush in."
Go up and help."
"Understood." The other party agreed and hurriedly gave the order.
Soon, the temporary first army hidden in the fourth and fifth trenches reacted and ran forward along the communication trenches one by one, and came to the second and third trenches to join the battle. As for the people hiding in the first trench,
He didn't show his head at all, hiding in the trench and stabbing the horses continuously.
This attacking army was blinded, but the cavalry sprinted too fast, and it was a group charge. Stopping would only affect the companions behind, causing a terrible rear-end collision. They could only bite the bullet and rush forward with all their strength, knowing that there were people in the trench.
There was nothing I could do, I played very passively.
More and more soldiers rushed up, and the temporary army could not kill them. Wang Meng did not hesitate to send 500 men to rush forward to help, lined up in line, and shot the fallen enemies with crossbows flying like rain.
The pressure of forming a temporary army was greatly reduced in an instant. At the moment of life and death, either you would hack me to death, or I would hack you to death. They didn't care whether they were one of their own, so they all started risking their lives.
If they eliminate each other, the attacking troops will suffer misfortune.
The army of three thousand men quickly rushed into the trench position. No one was spared. They were all killed, and the injured horses neighed loudly.
The five thousand temporary army looked at the corpses on the ground and the results of their own creation. They were all a little confused and couldn't believe that they had done it, but they soon cheered and shouted excitedly. No matter what,
Everyone survives.
On the other hand, Tenzin, who was watching the battle not far away, was completely stunned. An improvised army of ordinary people actually killed three thousand regular cavalry. How is this possible? What kind of terrifying command ability is this?
Involuntarily, Tenzin looked at Luoche City, somewhat understanding why Qinling was defeated.
In Luoche City, Qin Huaidao felt a little incredible when he saw that he had won the battle and that he had won so quickly, but he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Duan Zan punched the wall and said excitedly: "Sir, your trench warfare is incredible. Five thousand improvised men actually killed three thousand regular soldiers. Your Excellency is amazing."
"It is a miracle created by their own desire to survive and courage. The trenches play a certain role. Two more trenches can be dug, and the outermost one can be dug deeper. People hiding in them cannot be cut by the enemy. They all fight with spears.
Specialized in stabbing war horses."
"It makes sense, we'll make arrangements later." Duan Zan agreed, his eyes full of joy. He killed three thousand people at once. It didn't seem like much, but it improved the morale of the temporary army and severely damaged the prestige of the Northern Army.
At this time, a desolate horn sound sounded.
"Woo-"
The sound shook the wilderness and spread far away.
Immediately afterwards, another cavalry force of 5,000 people launched a charge towards the temporary army, with the roar of horse hooves and a terrifying momentum.
Seeing that Tenzin was unwilling to give in and wanted to fight again, Qin Huaidao felt relaxed again and hurriedly looked away.
In the trench position.
After the battle just now, the temporary army had gained confidence and morale. Under the command of the officers, they quickly got into position and were prepared to prepare.
Wang Meng stared intently at the oncoming troops, and when he saw that the opponent had changed his tactics and began to slow down, instead of first suppressing them with a hail of arrows as before, and then charging directly into the formation, his heart moved, and he told Qianba, the temporary commander of the first army: "Send the order.
, don’t act rashly, wait for us to kill you.”
"What do you mean, general?" Qianba, the temporary commander of the first army, was a little confused.
"Just do it." Wang Meng didn't bother to explain. He stared at the approaching enemy. He was about to get closer. He didn't intend to use his bow and arrow. Instead, he slowed down. This was because the cavalry was acting as infantry and wanted to get close to fight.
"They are... looking for death!" Wang Meng shouted excitedly: "Brothers, a group of five hundred people, using two-stage crossbow attack tactics, rush into the open space of the third trench and kill!"
"Follow the order!" the soldiers roared and rushed up the traffic trench without hesitation. When they reached the third trench, they climbed onto the ground and quickly ran to both sides. They spread out and lined up in two rows.
Standing in a platoon, the same tactics have been trained countless times, and the roads are familiar.
At this time, the enemy had already arrived at the first trench, with their bows and arrows ready to shoot the people hiding under the trench.
There are no archers in the temporary army, so there is almost no solution when encountering archers.
Almost at the same time, the sound of the crossbow machine sounded one after another, and the arrows roared out of the barrel. The soldiers rushed forward with a cold fighting spirit, killing the enemy on horseback.
The cavalry that rushes at high speed are scary, but they are easy targets when they stop.
The continuous crossbow output was crazy and the shooting speed was extremely fast. The density of arrows fired by five hundred people was comparable to that of five thousand people. How could they stop the enemies rushing in front? They fell off their horses one after another and let out painful screams.
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people fell down. Seeing this formation, the cavalry behind them turned their horses in fright and retreated one after another. But how could the soldiers let go of such an opportunity? Another five hundred soldiers on standby lined up and pushed forward.
Output arrows and chase the enemy.
The five hundred people who were the first to take action quickly replaced their crossbow boxes and followed suit.
It was the first time for this army to encounter Lian Nu. Unexpectedly, it was so terrifying. They were frightened and turned around in fear. They beat their horses desperately, wishing they could distance themselves immediately.
However, it took time for the war horses to gain speed, and the Tang army pursued them closely to expand their victory.
This scene shocked the temporary army. They thought that five thousand improvised infantrymen could kill three thousand cavalry, which was already a big deal. However, after comparing with the Tang army, they realized that they were nothing.
Tenzin also widened his eyes and looked at this scene in disbelief. His mind was buzzing and he couldn't believe everything he saw. When did the Tang army possess such a terrifying weapon? How could they fight this battle?
Seeing that 5,000 troops were raised to fight, but less than half of them were withdrawn, while the Tang army was still pursuing them. Tenzin became furious and ordered a general to rush forward to respond. The Tang army retreated decisively and did not hesitate to fight.
Tenzin gritted his teeth angrily, staring coldly at the defeated army, and finally fell on the leading general. When he saw the other party saluting and asking for forgiveness, he became even more angry. If the apology was useful, why would he need military discipline?
"Whoa!"
A flash of white light flashed, and Tenzin chopped the opponent's head with a knife. He pointed the bloody sword at everyone and shouted: "Those who are unfavorable in the battle shall be beheaded."
Not killing is not enough to establish authority.
If you don’t kill, the morale of the army will plummet!
Tenzin commanded an army of 100,000, so he was certainly not an ordinary person. He glanced at everyone with a cold look, saw that he was shocked and stopped his generals, and continued: "Return to the military accounts to discuss, whoever can provide suggestions to capture the trench position, who will get the rest of his people?"
.”
Everyone's eyes lit up, this was a great opportunity to increase their strength, their minds were all excited, and their eyes looking towards the direction of the trench position were filled with greed and eagerness.
Seeing that he had succeeded in boosting his morale, Tenzin walked toward the military tent with satisfaction, but he felt inexplicably bitter in his heart. His mind was filled with the continuous firing of the crossbow. If everyone in the Tang army in Luozhe City was equipped with this powerful weapon, he would want to take it.
I'm afraid Xialuoche City will lose at least half of its troops. Without an army of 50,000, how will we be able to suppress all the troops in the future?
"Could it be that Qin Ling was defeated by that big killing weapon?"
Thinking of this, Tenzin became more and more uneasy. He returned to the military tent with a sullen face, sat down at the head of the table, and said to the generals who were taking in the accounts one after another and separated on both sides: "Everyone, whoever captures the trench position outside the city will be made the head of ten thousand households and rewarded.
Ten thousand slaves, 20,000 cattle and sheep. The first one to attack Luoxu City will be granted the title of general of the army, with a promise of 50,000 soldiers, and a reward of 50,000 slaves, 100,000 cattle and sheep, and 100,000 gold coins."
In order to win Luoche City, Tenzin was ready to fight.
Large rewards can arouse people's greed the most. Everyone's eyes light up and they become excited. People around them are more wary, as if the other party will take away the credit.
This was what Tenzin wanted, and he smiled with satisfaction.
