A group of masters gathered around the bonfire, beating the human skin drums in their hands.
One by one, they stretched their arms and kicked their legs like they were convulsing.
After the beautiful Tubo Princess was given a bowl of unknown liquid, her eyes became distant and deep.
Songtsen Gampo's back was bare, and scars were cut with knives all over his body.
Several Tibetans were using golden bowls to smear his blood on the master's forehead.
With everyone cheering in unison, the beautiful princess walked towards the bonfire.
Her eyes were still distant and deep, as clear as the lake in Namtso.
The flames made her hair curl, but she still walked forward barefoot.
Until his feet stepped on the burning wood, there were bursts of green smoke and the smell of burnt flesh.
The flames seemed to cover her whole body in an instant.
The princess didn't even have time to struggle before she was swallowed up by the raging fire.
The princess's oil dripped on the wood, so the flames became even bigger.
The descendants of the macaque and the rock witch have reached a dead end.
They must rush down to the plateau to fight the cowardly Han people.
Otherwise, there will definitely be a day in the future.
The despicable Han people will turn the plateau into a deserted territory.
Songtsen Gampo knew this, whether those masters knew it or not, no one knows.
Maybe they were more focused on burning everything they saw, like this beautiful princess.
Sacrifice is a gift to God.
The higher the gift, the harder it is to pray to God.
In order to win the war, Songtsen Gampo was willing to sacrifice everything he had, including his beautiful princess.
"Gods in the sky, I devote everything to you, just to get your protection.
The descendants of the macaque and the rock witch have been addicted for too long.
This is our last chance.
If we fail, we will never have another chance.
Sacrifice will be offered to you.
Your temple will become desolate and your teachings will have no one to carry on.
Gods, bless your believers to be victorious in every battle.
Use our swords and blood to regain endless wealth and glory.
Kill the evil Tang people, and Tubo will win.
Tubo will win."
Songtsen Gampo dipped his hand in his own blood and smeared it on his forehead.
Countless Tibetan soldiers under the altar all raised their weapons.
Amid huge cheers, a group of Tang people were pulled out.
As soon as the knife was touched on the neck, blood spurted out.
The still struggling body was pushed into the huge pit.
As the pit swarms with squirming bodies, a torch is thrown in.
The flames soared more than ten feet high in an instant, and there seemed to be heart-rending wails accompanying the flames.
In an instant, the cheers became even louder.
The huge human skin drum was beaten, amidst the rumbling sound of the drum.
A white yak was pulled over, and Songtsen Gampo stabbed it in with a twist of the knife in his hand.
A dozen masters wearing ferocious masks stared unblinkingly at the blood flowing from the white yak.
I want to know what kind of pattern the blood can form on the ground.
The dazzling red yaks gradually formed a pool of blood on the ground, and the masters cheered.
They all cut their own hands and mixed the blood into them.

Then, they started twisting around this little bloody lunatic.
"Tibetan warriors, I will defeat the Tang people.
Pick up your weapons and we attack."
Songtsen Gampo drew his sword and raised it to the sky The deafening cheers made the earth seem to tremble.
Countless galloping cavalry trampled the tranquility of the plateau, charging towards the Qingtang with murderous intent against the white clouds in the blue sky.
On the beautiful Hehuang grassland, cattle and sheep also have their heads raised to the blue sky and their feet to the earth.
The shepherd was shouting an unknown tune and looking at the train passing by in the distance.
The cattle and sheep showed no trace of panic, as if they were watching the prairie wolf watching in the distance.
There is no intention of stopping the trains these days, with four or five trains entering Qingtang City every day.
The herdsmen could not enter the Qingtang and did not know what was going on inside.
Anyway, they knew it since the Tang Dynasty took over this place.
As long as they pay a certain number of cattle and sheep every year, they can live freely.
No one will take away their wives, and no one will care about their family property.
Not to mention that one day, the master in the temple will come and take away their children.
Then when I wanted to see my child, I could only wipe my tears on the human skin drum in the master's hand.
Life is beautiful when Tang people are around.
When the Tibetans were here, life was like a nightmare.
No matter what, just keep grazing the cattle and sheep.
This year's water and grass are plentiful, and it's a good time to fatten up the cattle and sheep.
I hope to harvest more lambs this year and my flock will be bigger next year.
Shepherd, who doesn’t want his flock of cattle and sheep to grow stronger.
Suddenly, yellow clouds filled the sky rose from the top of the mountain, and a muffled thunderous sound rolled against the ground, and the whole earth seemed to tremble.
The shepherd looked at all this in amazement, and then drove his cattle and sheep like crazy to leave the pasture as quickly as possible.
"It's really here."
Yunhao raised his binoculars and looked at the Tibetan cavalry galloping in the distance.
On the plateau, they can brag that they are eagles.
When we get here, we can’t even count them as chickens and dogs.
It's just that with so many cavalry, it's not easy to annihilate them all.
I need to think of a good way "Su Dingfang, you are also a famous general in this dynasty.
Please tell me how to kill all these Tubo people.
When the war starts in the Western Region, I don't want to keep a large army behind me, just to maintain the railway."
Yunhao held his hand on the city wall. , looked at Su Dingfang and said.
"The general will go around to their rear tomorrow and wait until they are tired from attacking the city.
The cavalry will attack from the rear and they will definitely be able to wipe out the Tibetan dog thieves in one fell swoop."
Su Dingfang was obviously very confident in the cavalry under his command.
"Your method is good.
Master Sheng Yan, please tell me."
"The cavalry insertion into the enemy's rear needs to be carried out now.
We cannot wait for the enemy to spread out before launching the attack, but need to launch the attack before they threaten the railway.
We will concentrate all firearms to bombard the enemy."
Division Sheng Yan said When he came, Su Dingfang's face was uncertain.
In this way, a lot of the merits of their cavalry will be wiped out.
For a long time, Su Dingfang wanted to rely on his military exploits to become a prince.
This western expedition was a good opportunity for him.
"Master Sheng Yan is right.

We cannot let the Tibetans threaten the safety of the railway.
The task of your cavalry is to monitor their actions from behind after the enemy's collapse, so that the Tibetans dare not divide their troops.
As long as there are small groups If the Tibetans leave, you will pounce on them like wolves and eat them.
As for the Tibetans, leave them to the airships.
In this way, they escape all the way, and we chase and kill them all the way.
Only in this way can casualties be reduced to the greatest extent and the greatest results achieved.
If you want to make meritorious deeds, there are many heads to be chopped off in the Western Region.
Your share is indispensable."
Yunhao patted Su Dingfang's shoulder and said with a smile.
"I'm going to prepare now."
With Yunhao's promise, Su Dingfang agreed and led his guards down the city wall.
An hour later, the large group of cavalry galloped out from the city gates on both sides.
They have been stationed here for several years and are very familiar with the terrain.
It only took half a day for the vanguard of the Tibetan troops to arrive.
The leader of the Tibetan troops howled excitedly.
When he saw the dense Tang army formations beside the railway, his first reaction was not fear, but joy.
He had wanted to wear a Tang army armor for a long time.
What a good opportunity.
When one person moved, all the Tubo people began to move.
The Tang people blocked some wooden frames in front of the military formation.
Could these things hinder the attack of the Tibetan warriors?
There was no organization, only formations formed naturally during daily robberies.
Some Tubo people who had seen Tang weapons hesitated and fell behind slightly.
Those young Tubo people who had never been on a formal battlefield and had only participated in robberies, They rushed over with shouts of "Ouch" and "Ouch".
They thought that this time, just like before, they could defeat this military formation with their own force.
They had already crossed countless military formations in Tianzhu.
Master Sheng Yan swallowed hard, "These guys are invulnerable."
In Master Sheng Yan's eyes, this unorganized charge was tantamount to suicide.
"Try it, general, we will see if we try it.
I don't believe there are people in this world who can't be killed by the Eight Ox Crossbow."
Seeing the Tubo cavalry passing the range-finding arrows, the captain killed the Eight Ox Crossbow with one hammer.
The mechanism inspired.
These eight-niu crossbows are the products of improvements made by the Academy.
Their size has been reduced by more than twice, but their power has not been reduced much.
Many wooden parts have been replaced by steel, and both crossbow arms are made of mild steel.
In the past, the Eight Ox Crossbow relied on a crossbow string with a spring surname to provide sufficient power.
But now it is different.
The crossbow arm will also provide enough power for the siege chisel.
Seeing that he was about to rush to the front of the Tang people's formation, the first Tubo man to kill felt that his body was flying, and it was flying backwards, and it was high above his companions.
Only then did he feel that he His chest was in great pain, and a thick crossbow arrow penetrated his body.
He saw a heart flying backward with him, and then he felt the boundless darkness invade him, and finally completely destroyed him. of annihilation.
"General, you see, the Eight Oxen Crossbow can kill them.
Just now, I only killed one with one arrow.
This time, let's shoot arrows at a crowded place.
If the Eight Oxen Crossbow can't kill them, it won't be able to kill them."

The captain said ramblingly. , once again activated the Ba Niu Crossbow.
This time, the sound of the Ba Niu Crossbow's spring sounded like thunder in the desert, and a row of arrow walls composed of siege chisels were pushed flatly from the crossbow array.
No matter how strong the Tubo people are, they are still as fragile as a piece of paper under the bombardment of the eight-oxen crossbow.
With every shot, the siege chisel will open an uninhabited road through the dense Tubo crowd.
After a round of crossbow arrows were fired, the battlefield was filled with mourning.
It would be fine if they were shot to death by the Eight Ox Crossbow in one shot.
The wails of the Tubo people whose arms and thighs were pierced by the thick siege chisels could be heard.
The entire Hehuang Grassland.
Death did not scare these Tubo people.
They held up the corpses of their companions and rushed forward bravely again.
Such an attack method had frightened countless people, and they imagined that this time would be no exception.
This reminded Yunhao of those people who shouted "onboard" and charged feverishly.
The same people are jumping on their backs, the same are unyielding, the same are full of desire for victory.
Of course, the result was equally miserable.
When the corpses covered the open space, the Tubo people made a very decisive decision.
They rushed into the Nala Pass without thinking.
When they retreated, they decisively killed them.
For those injured companions, when Yun Hao's cavalry began to charge, there was no one alive on the ground.
Standing at the top of Qingtang City, looking at the Tubo people disappearing from sight, and then looking at the corpses on the ground, an extremely unreal feeling filled Yun Ye's body.
This was victory.
"Commander, the Tubo people left more than 2,450 corpses, and a total of 3,000 people escaped.
Our Eight Ox Crossbows did not achieve the expected results.
These Tubo people left too resolutely.
Not showing any signs of fighting."
Master Sheng Yan reported with his fists in his hands.
"Have the cavalry withdraw and use the airship to investigate the area within a radius of five hundred miles.
I must know that the Tubo people withdrew so quickly.
In order to attract them to attack, I didn't even use gunpowder."
Yunhao was a little depressed and calmed down.
The military formation they arranged only killed more than 2,000 people.
Aren’t the Tubo people always resolute?
Aren’t those who retreated will have fox tails tied behind their heads and be laughed at by everyone?
Why has Songtsen Gampo changed today?
What the hell is this bastard doing?
The moment Songtsen Gampo saw the airship, he had no choice but to order the Tibetans who were ambushing the position to withdraw.
After covering each other and getting closer, they slowly retreated to Nala Pass.
The airship was a hurdle that he couldn't get around no matter what.
He was in the sky.
Looking down at the earth like an eagle, Songtsen Gampo did not believe that his 80,000-strong army could be hidden under the Nine Lands.
The airship came back, and a cold sweat broke out on Master Sheng Yan's forehead.
Songtsen Gampo actually deployed 80,000 Tibetan troops on both sides of the Nala Pass at night.
If my cavalry went up to chase them without hesitation today, no one might be able to come back now.
"I just said something is wrong.
Those people who charge suicidally are just decoys.
The sheepherders just tend to the sheep, and there is nothing wrong with the art of war.

It makes me scared and worried."
After knowing the arrangement of the Tibetan people, Yunhao felt relieved. .
For Tang Jun, unless it is dark night or bad weather.
The battlefield is one-way and transparent to Yunhao.
Relying on battlefield reconnaissance like cheating, Yunhao is almost invincible.
There are not many Tubo people who really understand.
Just look at those Tubo soldiers.
They didn't care at all that they had lost the battle during the day.
These guys drank highland barley wine.
Eating highland barley noodles, some lucky ones even grilled random prey on the bonfire.
The song spread throughout the military camp, and one man started singing.
Soon a group of people would start singing.
Songtsen Gampo looked at these silly guys and closed his eyes sadly
