Chapter 427 Dilemma

In front of the Tubo camp, the defeated soldiers of Nanruokagong who escaped were in a mess and knelt on the ground with a pale face. The team of more than 50 people finally escaped, and the rest died in the pursuit and interception of the Tang army. However, at present, they had no joy of escaping from birth. Instead, they were seized by deeper fear. Everyone kept kowtowing on the ground and begging for mercy.

Zhulong Mang Buzhi looked at the forty defeated soldiers who escaped back, with no expression on his face, but the generals around him knew that the marshal had murderous intent and that no one could survive these defeated soldiers.

"Don't abandon the lord and escape in the battle. You still have the face to beg for mercy and beg for life. If all my soldiers in Dafan are like you, then why should you compete with the Tang army?"

In front of the soldiers around him, Zhulong Mang Buzhi cursed. He sent scouts and small troops to search around. In addition to this being the practice of the Dafan army marching and fighting, he also wanted to see the reaction of the Tang army.

The Tang army had local Xiaobolu people as guides, familiar with the terrain, and was able to mobilize Xiaobolu people to strengthen the walls and clear the fields. In addition, they occupied the Nieduo city in advance to repair it. It can be said that they have good time, place and people. Even if the number of Tang soldiers would never be much, Zhulongmang Buzhi did not feel that they had many soldiers. Who made the Tang army fight with less and more during the years of Tang and Turkish Wars?

Not to mention that this time, the Tang army actually went out of the city to attack with a hundred elite cavalry, and they were clear in advance and retreat. They could fight if they could, and they could not fight if they could. In the past three days, the soldiers he sent had lost 200 people. As for the Tang army, there were very few casualties, but he did not expect that the fool, Cha Siba, did not obey his orders and led his troops deep into the enemy territory without authorization, and deserved to be ambushed by the Tang army.

But this fool was dead, so he could only take his anger on the defeated soldiers who fled back, "Chariban, these are the people from you Nanruokagon, what do you think should you do?"

Zhulong Mangbuzhi turned around and looked at the son of the general behind him, Richard Caseba, and then the young nobleman who was just over 20 knelt on one knee and said, "Marson, please allow me to execute these cowards who have abandoned their masters with their own hands."

"Go."

As Zhulong Mangbu nodded, Charina had already stood up and led the remaining infantry of Nanruokagong to surround the defeated soldiers. No one would pity these defeated soldiers. Tubo had just transformed from the primitive tribal alliance into a feudal empire, and the most important thing was to pay attention to the clan bloodline and hierarchy order. Now that these defeated soldiers came back alive, they were offensive to the Cha clan. Other nobles would think that their Cha clan could not control their tribes, so they would come to compete for the position of Dongben.

Seeing the murderous intent of the Charibato, although the defeated soldiers had swords on their waists, no one dared to resist. They just let it go and tied up the armored weapons and weapons of the people of the same tribe around them.

Then in front of the camp, Chariban personally took action from the officers of the defeated soldiers who had escaped, and peeled off his scalp alive. The shrill screams sounded for nearly an hour, and the skinned defeated soldiers swallowed on the hanging wooden pole.

"Uncle Chen, how did the traitors peel their family?"

Outside the Tubo camp, Chen Moha, who was beside the Tubo people, asked, "After he was taken as a guard by Shen Guang, he would not have any preferential treatment just because he was the so-called prince of the Five Consciousnesses, and he still asked him to follow Chen Moha and other old soldiers from time to time to learn skills."

"The traitors have lost a lot of soldiers in the past three days, especially if they die, they will naturally lose their morale in the army. If they stripped off these defeated soldiers alive, they will shock the entire army."

Chen Mohe said coldly that he had been in the army in Anxi for nearly 30 years, fighting against the Western Turks, Bakhanna, Tuqishi and the Great Cannibal, as well as many other grassland tribes and small countries, but compared to cruelty, no one can compare to the Tubo people.

Chiguo was stunned when he heard this. In his opinion, it was natural to cut off the deserters' heads, but with such torture, wouldn't the traitors be afraid of the soldiers below...

"What are you thinking? The traitors in the country are of strict rank. The nobles ask for serfs, kill people and kill people at any time, or are even disabled, not to mention that this is a battlefield. They are just peeling their skins and not letting the mastiff eat them raw, and they are already the old thief Zhulong."

As Chen Mohe spoke, he said to several other men on the side, "Don't look, the thieves will not give us another chance next, and go back to the city to report to the lord."

After Chen Mohe and the others left, in the Tubo camp, the soldiers of Xiao Bolu who had not stopped working for several days were driven away by the Tubo soldiers to cut down trees. A large number of Tubo cavalry were accompanied by them as guards. However, this time the elusive Tang army cavalry really disappeared without a trace and did not come out to attack the logging team again.

...

"The Lord, Protector Cheng, sent people to report that the thieves have withdrawn the scouts and cavalry teams."

"knew."

In the palace of Nieduo City, Shen Guang stood in front of the already formed clay sand table and was thinking from time to time that since he captured Nieduo City, he also went out of the city to copy the terrain on high mountains several times, and also asked the scouts in the army to investigate the detailed terrain dozens of miles southeast.

"Master, the old thief Zhulong killed all the defeated soldiers, peeled them and hung them in front of the camp to show their presence."

Seeing Chen Mohe come back, Shen Guangfang looked up and was not surprised after hearing this. This was the military law of the Tubo people. They not only brutally ruled the conquered small countries and tribes, but also imposed brutal rule on the people in their own country.

It is because of these bloody and cruel military laws that the Tubo people were able to fight against the Tang Dynasty for so many years. Do they really think that the Tubo people are naturally brave and fearless warriors? In fact, if they become deserters, they will only die even more miserably, and they will appear so brave and fearless.

"Person Chen, come and see if this sand table is made incorrectly with the terrain you personally surveyed?"

Shen Guang nodded and said that he knew about it, and called Chen Moha to come over and let him see if there was any error in the terrain of the last part of the sand table. If not, he could start using this sand table to deduce the place where the troops were arranged.

In fact, as Zhulong Mangbuzhi devoted himself to building camps on the Poyi Bridge and pretended to be in a long-term confrontation, Shen Guang had to consider taking the initiative to go out of the city to fight in the field, because as time went by, the time would be in the hands of the Tubo people.

This time, the Anxi Army went on an expedition to Xiaobolu. With Su Wuli's title, Nieduo City was captured. If Shen Guang had directly cut off the Poyi Bridge, the war would have ended and they should have prepared to return to the country. However, with the Tubo army occupying this bridge, he and Gao Xianzhi must annihilate the army of Zhulongmangbuzhi here, otherwise all their efforts would be wasted.

While forcing Zhulongmangbuzhi, they also put themselves in danger. Soldiers are more important than victory, not more than long-term. Even if Xiao Bolu provides military supplies, once the beginning of August is over, heavy winds and snowstorms will fall at any time, and the outcome will be hard to say, because they will never be able to confront Zhulongmangbuzhi here.

Chen Guang originally bet that the Tubo people's logistics supplies could not support the consumption of the army, and he had to go out to attack Nieduo City to fight them in a decisive battle. However, the old thief Zhulongmang Buchi became a turtle with his head, but he had to make preparations for both hands.
