War, indeed, requires the sacrifice of human lives.)
The fight continued until the Golden Crow fell to the west, and then both sides stopped fighting under the bloody setting sun and began to clean up the battlefield.
The bloody light in Fang Yiai's eyes receded, and she leaned part of her weight on the spear propped on the ground, and then managed to stand firm.
Holding on to his blood-stained spear, Fang Yiai breathed heavily in exhaustion and looked at Lu Dongzan's retreating figure with some pity.
If it were not for the three Tubo people protecting him, the shot he fired just now would not have penetrated his shoulder, but should have penetrated his throat!
It's a pity, it's a pity, when Niu Jinda comes, I'm afraid there will be another battle, and then Lu Dongzan will definitely not be able to escape easily.
Thinking about it, Fang Yiai tightened her grip on the spear in her hand again.
Zhui Feng, who was dispersed by the massacred crowd, found him again following the scent of Fang Yi'ai.
Feeling Zhui Feng's closeness, Fang Yi'ai stretched out a hand and stroked Zhui Feng's cheek and neck. Looking at Zhui Feng's big, dark and clear eyes, the tight lines on Fang Yi'ai's face gradually softened.
, a shallow smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Gradually, under the setting sun, the smile spread over the entire face. Slowly, even the laughter began to overflow gently, and then turned into laughter.
Fang Yiai's laughter seemed a bit abrupt under the bloody and fiery setting sun that covered the ground. Her laughter was so confusing that it made people confused.
It wasn't until she burst into tears from laughter under this sunset that Fang Yiai's smile gradually faded and she murmured, "I'm still alive."
After the melee started, Wu Han, Cao Da and others who had been following Fang Yiai, after listening to Fang Yiai's words, felt the joy of rebirth in their hearts. They all exhaled or looked at the bloody
The setting sun, or looking at the blood-stained earth, nodded silently.
"It's really a happy thing that he can survive! Hahahaha." After coming over for a while, Cao Da spat fiercely in the direction of the Tubo military camp and said with a smile.
Under the command of Han Wei and others, the defenders who came out to clean up the battlefield were just quietly busy with their work, collecting the remains of the soldiers who had sacrificed their lives for the Tang Dynasty, and looking up from time to time to look at the sunset, still seeing
Fang Yiai and others standing on the battlefield.
Many people had seen the bloody battle on the city walls, and some who had never seen it knew that Fang Yiai and others were the heroes who survived the war. Therefore, they treated Fang Yiai and Cao Da at will.
Indulgent laughter, no one blamed them, and no one stepped forward to urge the few people to leave and return to the city. They were left alone, bathing in the light of the setting sun, standing on the battlefield full of corpses.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, the dazzling blood red, I don't know how many families were broken apart because of this battle.
Once upon a time, Fang Yiai also imagined that one day, she would hold a murder knife in her hand, what kind of pride and emotion she would feel, but she didn't expect that when this day came, Fang Yiai found that apart from being indifferent, she really didn't want to do it anymore.
If you have any extra emotions, let them float in your mind.
Originally, I just wanted to be a good, conscientious and responsible doctor. I never thought that I would participate in a battlefield and end the lives of others.
The battle against Dolmayangjin, because it was at night, could not clearly see the scene on the ground. Fang Yiai automatically ignored it. The feeling was not like it was today, like a turbulent scene under the sunset.
"Let's go, rather than disturbing others to clean up the battlefield." Fang Yiai got on his horse, looked at the setting sun and the bloody battlefield reflected in the setting sun, and said softly to Cao Da, Wu Han and others.
In her heart, Fang Yiai only hopes that she can help Li Chengqian consolidate his strength early so that there will be no obstacles on his way to the top. He also hopes that Du He and others can grow up quickly. In that case, when Li Chengqian ascends the throne,
, I also have reasons to resign, ignore this commotion, and be my own doctor.
However, for now, we still need to solve the problem of Hou Junji first.
There is not much time left before the Gaochang rebellion and Hou Junji's rebellion.
I don’t know when I will be able to place someone next to Hou Junji, or gather the people who came to Hou Junji.
Otherwise, it will be a disaster after all, whether it is for yourself or Li Chengqian.
After entering the city, facing Han Zheng's enthusiasm and admiration, Fang Yiai did not respond for the first time. He just shook his head lightly and said that he was tired, then followed Wu Hao and others into the military camp, and got into the room they had prepared for him.
in the tent.
Han Wei sighed, patted his confused son, shook his head gently, and told him to let Fang Yihai have a good rest and not to bother him at this time.
Han Zheng looked into Han Wei's deep eyes, seemingly understanding, but chose to nod.
At nightfall, Fang Yiai woke up once, ate something, called Wu Hao, who had also just eaten, and asked about the damage to his manpower.
There were originally more than 800 people left in the Thorny Head Battalion. During the last night attack, dozens of people were injured. This time the damage was the highest, more than 300 people were injured! Only 500 people were left.
Especially of the one hundred and fifty archers, there are now less than sixty left.
Mu Fei and Lin Heng's men and horses also lost nearly half of their numbers!
In this battle, the Tang Dynasty had 100,000 soldiers, more than 20,000 of whom stayed directly on the battlefield, thousands of whom were seriously injured, and almost all of them had some minor injuries.
Seeing that Fang Yiai's face looked a little lonely, Wu Han added a few words, saying that the damage on the Tubo side was almost double that of the Tang Dynasty! I'm afraid that the situation in Tubo was even worse than that on the Tang army.
I'm afraid many people will have trouble sleeping tonight.
Are you having trouble sleeping? Even if you can't sleep, given today's losses, I'm afraid Hou Junji has no intention of stealing the camp. Using these soldiers who have been fighting for a whole day to steal the camp would not be wise, but let everyone die.
After asking Wu Hao, he found out that all the name tags of the people on his side had been put away, and then waved Wu Hao back to rest.
Standing outside the tent, standing with his hands behind his hands, looking up at the dark night sky, smelling the lingering smell of blood in the breeze, Fang Yiai felt that the sky was a little stuffy.
It seems that the old folk saying "the sky changes when the fire sets out in the west" is true. I'm afraid it will start to rain in autumn in Songzhou City.
It has been sunny for more than ten days, and after the Bias Sky Blood Station, a fire cloud that is more colorful than blood appears. Is it to reflect the cruelty of human killings, or to lament the insignificance of human life?
Lying back in the tent, Fang Yiai turned around for a long time, and then fell asleep. In this light sleep that seemed not to be sleeping, Fang Yiai felt as if the loud sound of fighting was coming from his ears again.
Fang Yiai thought it was the sequelae of her fighting during the day. She opened her eyes, smiled to herself in the darkness, turned over and closed her eyes again. It was only around dawn that she fell into a deep sleep for a while.
"General, general, what a happy event." Cao Da rushed into Fang Yiai's separate tent while carrying Fang Yiai's breakfast.
"What's wrong? I heard Yi shouting from a distance." Fang Yiai stretched out and reluctantly left the lovely bed.
Putting Fang Yiai's breakfast on the only low table in the camp, Cao Da rubbed his hands, looked at Fang Yiai with excitement, and said, "This is a great event that the general will never guess!"
Seeing Cao Da's face full of joy, he kept rubbing his hands, trying to arouse his interest, and waiting for his curious inquiry, Fang Yiai rolled his eyes at Cao Da, and while washing and dressing, he said nonchalantly, "
A happy event that I couldn’t guess?”
Cao Da nodded, still waiting expectantly for Fang Yiai's inquiry.
"Let me think about it." Fang Yiai put the towel in his hand back, lifted up his robe and sat at the low table, saying slowly.
Cao Da followed and sat at Fang Yiai's table. When he saw Fang Yiai holding his chopsticks, slowly as if he was preparing to eat, and not as if he wanted to guess, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied on his face, and he reached out and grabbed it for Fang Yiai.
Yiai brought the tray with the rice and said, "Guess first, then eat after guessing."
"Is it possible that..." Fang Yiai laughed, holding his chopsticks, and thought seriously, suddenly remembering the sound of fighting last night, and said with some uncertainty, "Is it possible that General Niu Jinda was not at the inn at night?
Instead of resting, he left the food and fodder, led his troops to Songzhou overnight, and took advantage of the Tibetan soldiers being tired to sneak attack the Tibetan military camp overnight?"
Cao Da glanced at Fang Yiai in astonishment, and put Fang Yiai's food away in frustration. He kept saying it was boring, but he could even guess it.
"Hahaha, I said the general could guess it, but you don't believe it. What's the matter? I'm willing to admit defeat and go back and wash the socks I've saved over the past few months for me." Wu Hao smiled with a smile that seemed to have succeeded.
He opened the curtain and came in, and said to Cao Da, who had a gloomy look on his face.
After listening to Wu Han's words, Fang Yiai blinked her eyes, and she really looked at Wu Han and Cao Da, wanting to confirm that she had heard correctly.
"So, the sound of fighting last night was real? Is it true that General Niu and others rushed to Songzhou and attacked the Tibetan army at night?" Fang Yiai asked for confirmation.
"Well, in the middle of the night, General Niu led his 100,000 troops and simply repaired them at the inn. Hearing about the melee in Songzhou, he didn't take any rest and led his people over. He didn't follow Songzhou City either.
After saying hello, he decisively attacked the Tubo military camp." Wu Hao sat over and said, "Because it drizzled in the middle of the night, General Niu led his men and charged directly in."
Fang Yi felt a little excited, knowing that this battle was basically over. However, why didn't Hou Junji send someone out to pick up Niu Jinda and others? What happened to Qi Zong Nongzan and Lu Dongzan?
"By the way, do you know what orders General Hou issued? And what was the situation of last night's battle? Did Tubo's Zanpu Qizong Nongzan and Prime Minister Ludongzan capture them?" Fang Yiai was anxious.
He hid the question from Wu.
"There hasn't been much movement on General Hou's side for now. General Niu is probably going to lead people into the city soon." Wu Han said, "As for the situation of the battle, it's not clear yet."
