"Charge! Kill the Tang soldiers and get the magic medicine! "
The people of the two Tubo tribes shouted to cross the river. They were deceived by the magic medicine.
The Tang Dynasty quickly moved their boats. The rafts were pulled upstream, and the steamers and propeller boats helped to pull the rafts.
Guo Zhiyun didn't want to lose the boats, so he hid.
He estimated that there were six or seven thousand people. If they could attack him, he would die in the Yellow River.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty prepared rolling logs, but they didn't take the stones. Large stones were not easy to move, and they didn't need them.
It was enough to shoot arrows from above, and there were many arrows. The arrows brought by the steamers later were all the standard arrows used by the Winged Knights.
There were even ointments for face and hands, so there was no need to worry about cracks. They used glycerin on their mouths.
It was said that glycerin was expensive, including soap for washing hands, toilet water for applying on the exposed skin, and mosquito coils in the camp.
It felt like they were not fighting a war, but living a life.
Would they give him a wife in the future? A wife with a child was also fine. They wouldn't despise her and would raise her as their own child.
"Kill!"
"Fire!"
The Tibetan Army that reached the shore first charged down the slope. Guo Zhiyun stood on the high ground and didn't say anything. The young general ordered the soldiers to throw the logs.
Large logs rolled down the slope, and the charging soldiers jumped to avoid them.
At first, they could dodge a few logs, but later, the logs were messy and dense, and they fell directly when they touched them.
Some logs hit small stones when they rolled down and bounced up, hitting their heads, chests, and thighs.
The archers above prepared. They didn't need shields, and the range below was not enough.
"Shoot!" Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Arrows flew out, one after another, and the archers stood in a formation.
Tubo's shields were useless at this time, and the logs were knocked down. How could they jump with shields?
The two Tubo tribes continued to charge up, and the archers waited until they were in range.
When they were in range, the Tang Dynasty's archers retreated and began to shoot.
The shield soldiers went forward and hid behind their shields, and the logs kept rolling.
Tubo's shield-bearers threw away their shields and charged forward with their swords and spears. They fell one by one, but eventually, someone managed to get close to them.
No long spear soldiers came out from behind the large shield soldiers of the Tang dynasty. A row of Mo sword soldiers stood up and lowered their visors, ready to sweep away the enemy.
Just when the charging Tubo soldiers thought that they could engage in close combat with the enemy, the sound of gunfire rang out intensely.
Five hundred musketeers opened fire at the same time, taking down the Tubo soldiers who had rushed to the front.
Guo Zhiyun watched calmly without any emotional fluctuations on his face.
He thought of something. It was the drug that Guan Lin had given to Zasykuzé. Now that he was addicted to it, a group of Tubo soldiers were fighting to get the drug.
"Let alone 7,000, even 70,000 wouldn't be enough. Otherwise, we would have attacked Tubo a long time ago." Zhang Zhongliang looked at Guan Lin's position.
Guan Lin was eating lamb leg and watching the battle with his wife.
His wife was indeed very beautiful. Earlier, some soldiers used her to make dirty remarks, but after being whipped a few times, no one dared to do so anymore.
"Half of the credit for this battle goes to Guan Lin's family. That drug was not used to lure the enemy to attack, but to force the enemy to attack."
Wang Junkui could not imagine such a thing happening. Tubo's attacking force was completely defeated.
Without siege weapons, they could only climb up and charge forward, using human lives to fill the gap, but it was not enough.
"Let's end it. Catapults, throw a few bags of explosives." Qin Li wanted to go back for dinner.
The catapults behind them put the bags of explosives, ignited them, waited for the right time, and fired.
The bags of explosives flew out and fell down. Before they hit the ground, they began to explode in the air.
A single tremor was enough to kill a person without the need for shrapnel attacks.
Fifteen minutes later, the Tang dynasty soldiers were treating the wounds of the people shot in the limbs. A dozen unlucky people were shot in the throat and buried.
The battle was over. Wails came from the bottom of the slope. The battle was over.
"It's all your fault. It's all your fault. If you had sent troops, we would have taken it down." Zasykuzé was trembling all over at the moment. He was being helped by the Qianhu and was shouting and cursing.
"Even if I sent all my men up there, it would only add some blood to the Yellow River." The Qianhu felt sad.
Seven thousand people were sent to their deaths just like that.
If the slope was so easy to climb, why didn't the Military forces of the Tang dynasty attack it? It was even harder than attacking the city. The moat could be filled, but how could the Yellow River be filled?
If they had the ability to fill the Yellow River, they would have built the bridge.
"Medicine! Medicine! " Zasykuzé groaned. He was trembling all over, and his nose was running and tears were running down his face, as if he had a high fever and felt cold.
Moreover, he would twitch violently from time to time. His eyes were filled with anger and pleading. This expression was not something that ordinary people could make.
"Alas!" The Qianhu sighed deeply. It was over. The entire defense here was over.
"I kidnapped your family from the Tang dynasty. How much do you hate me? You pretended to be good to our tribe, helping to treat our illness and cooking delicious food.
But behind our backs, you secretly dug a tunnel and took the opportunity to poison us. What's wrong with Tubo? At least I'm good to you. "
The Qianhu still thought that he was kind. He never considered how people would feel if they were caught and brought here while they were living a good life.
The biggest difference was that Guan Lin's family was in their hometown. If they encountered an illness that they could not cure, they could only express regret.
In Tubo, if they could not cure it, they could not regret it. Especially those with high status, they had to try their best to cure it.
They lived in fear. The environment was different, and the relationship between neighbors was different.
The Tang dynasty was so good. Why did they have to be Tubo people? Why didn't Tubo people surrender and become Tang dynasty people?
"Medicine dregs, wine!" Zasykuzé also realized that he was wrong, but he could not control himself. He wanted to continue drinking.
The Qianhu nodded and ordered people to bring wine and tasteless medicine dregs to feed Zasykuzé.
"Fu Qian, what should we do?" The people in the tribe asked the Qianhu softly.
They understood that those Fu Qian who ate the medicine dregs were done for. One by one, the tribes fought and lost their morale.
"The commander of the three armies can be replaced!" The Qianhu said softly.
He learned this from Guan Lin. When Guan Lin taught the children, he heard it and also learned it.
But now he knew that the commander of the three armies could be replaced. It depended on the army. The Winged Knights could not be replaced. Every one of the Winged Knights was a general.
If the commander died, there would be someone to replace him immediately. There would not be a big loophole in the command.
There was no need to wait for the imperial court's decree. The strategy and tactics were the same from beginning to end.
His Tubo was not good enough. The Qianhu were going crazy. Because of the medicine, Guan Lin, you …
"Wife, you should eat too. You like to eat lean food. I left some for you. There are still tendons in it."
Guan Lin, who was missed by others, finished his wine and hugged his wife to feed her the lamb leg.
He did not know how powerful he was. He had cheated tens of thousands of Tubo soldiers.
Before the Military forces of the Tang Dynasty arrived, it was not a big deal for him to cheat them.
When the main forces of the Tang Dynasty arrived, he cheated them and decided the strategic victory. No, it should be the number of casualties of the Tang Dynasty soldiers.
With or without him, they would have occupied the Yellow River area. With him, they could now help the Tang Dynasty kill 7,000 people.
After that, the morale of the Tubo soldiers was low. The Tang Dynasty also had fewer casualties.
"Guan Lin, when we reach Chang'an and have money, I will help you find a concubine and give birth to your child." Guan Lin's wife said sweetly.
"No, my father said. My mother also said the same. Do you think my father has a concubine?" Guan Lin hugged his wife even tighter. He did not dare to.
His father had said that sometimes the words of his wife could not be taken seriously.
