Zhao Ziliang didn't speak for a long time after listening to Wang Can's report.
It seemed that it was unrealistic to cut off the Tubo people's return in a short time, and as time went on, Da Zha Lugong would soon learn about the Xiqiang , Zhongqiang and other places were recaptured by the Tang army, they would inevitably send more troops to defend their retreat and increase their troops in the Dafeichuan area.
This would make it difficult for Chu Ge and Li Siye to sneak attack their retreat.
Zhao Ziliang thought for a long time and felt that he was still too anxious.
The army of 200,000 men was simply not adapted to fighting on plateau terrain.
Forcing the soldiers to attack quickly was not the best strategy.
It would only drag down the combat effectiveness and morale of the soldiers. .
"Send someone to give orders to Li Siye and Chu Ge respectively.
If they are unable to move forward, they should rest where they are, let the soldiers adapt to the terrain and climate as soon as possible, restore combat effectiveness and morale as soon as possible, and stay where they are," Zhao Ziliang said to Wang Can after weighing the balance.
Wang Can cupped his fists and said: "Yes" Zhao Ziliang called Cen Shen again and ordered in a very stern tone: "Send someone to give death orders to Zheng San and Zhang Boji, try every means to speed up the production of medicine, gather all the doctors around Jincheng, even if they are exhausted, You must double the production speed for me.
If the soldiers cannot recover their combat power within a short period of time due to their reasons, I will kill them first."
"yes" The order was rushed at eight hundred miles, and two horses were killed and sent to Jincheng.
Zheng San and Zhang Boji looked bitter after seeing the order.
Zhang Boji smiled bitterly and said: "If we do this, I'm afraid all the doctors around Jincheng will be killed."
He’s going to hate us so much.”
Zheng San sighed: "If you don't want to die, it's best to immediately order all the doctors to be arrested to do this.
If necessary, kill a lot of people.
Tell everyone that this matter is not a joke.
This battle has a bearing on the Tang Dynasty."
The safety of the Western Frontier, hundreds of thousands of troops and countless The wealth and lives of millions of people, the lives of you and me are like ants compared to these.
I understand the commander-in-chief's temperament, let alone you, even if it is not handled well even if it is handled by a relative of the emperor, he will not be able to handle it well.
I will kill you as you will, your neck and my neck are not that hard yet."
Zhang Boji had no choice but to order to his left and right: "Come here, send people to arrest all the doctors in the towns around Jincheng.
We must catch Jincheng within one day.
Anyone who delays the opportunity will be killed."
When the generals below saw what was going on above them, they dared to neglect.
Immediately, soldiers and horses rushed out from the four gates.
Before dark, soldiers and horses were returning from surrounding towns one after another, and they brought many doctors with them. , there are more than 200 of these doctors, all concentrated at the pharmaceutical production site.
In the evening, Zhang Boji and Zheng San came to the pharmaceutical construction site.
All the doctors were driven out by the soldiers.
When one doctor saw the high official coming, he immediately shouted: "Sir, why did you send someone to arrest us while we wait for the patients?"
When it comes to medical treatment, our patients will die if they are not diagnosed and treated in time.
You are looking down on human life."
Zhang Boji pointed at the doctor who was speaking and shouted: "Come here, chop him down."
A soldier immediately rushed over and chopped off the man with a knife.
The man's body and head were separated and he fell to the ground.
"Ah" more than two hundred people suddenly screamed in fright.
"Anyone who screams in silence will be beheaded," Zheng San shouted.
More than two hundred men suddenly no longer dared to make a sound.
They all looked at Zheng San, Zhang Boji and the surrounding soldiers in horror.
At this time, Zhang Boji said: "What I did may have been a waste of human lives, but the military orders were overwhelming and no one could do anything about it.
The soldiers on the front line were fighting the Tibetan army, but because the army was not adapted to the plateau terrain, many soldiers suffered from dizziness, nausea, and vomiting. and chest tightness and shortness of breath Symptoms include losing combat effectiveness.
If this situation is allowed to continue, the army will not only be unable to defeat the Tibetan army, but will lose combat effectiveness first and be defeated by the Tibetan army.
We already have a good way to treat this symptom, but There are not enough doctors to make enough medicine, Marshal Zhao has sent someone to send an urgent military order from 800 miles away.
We must more than double the production of drugs, otherwise we will not be able to meet the needs of the army.

If I fail to complete the task, Marshal Zhao will behead me.
I will kill myself.
Death is a small matter, if the army fails to reach it in time When you get enough medicine to restore the fighting strength of the soldiers and are defeated by the Tubo army, millions of people in Longyou and Hexi will be massacred by the Tubo army.
You said it yourself, it is the worth of more than 200 people like you.
Is life important, or the wealth and lives of millions of living beings?”
The doctors were all silent after hearing these words, but some people still said: "Sir, since this is the matter, why don't you tell us about it?
If we knew about it, why wouldn't we be unwilling?"
"Hmph, all of you doctors have a bad temper.
If you don't kill some people, no one will cooperate.
I will put it here today.
We will start making medicine from now on.
If anyone dares to be lazy, deliberately delay the speed of medicine, or not try his best , I’ll cut each one if I find them, and even if I kill them all, it won’t be a pity for someone to come and escort them to make medicine.
If I find anyone who isn’t trying his best, I’ll kill one of them until they’re all finished.”
This was really serious.
No one among the more than 200 doctors had the heart to talk back.
They all walked to the pharmaceutical room tremblingly and started making medicine.
The power of using administrative means is powerful.
Even the most temperamental doctor would not dare to make a mistake in this matter.
He is worried that if he does not try his best to make medicine, he will be killed on the spot.
On June 13, the Tibetan army of 120,000 troops did not arrive outside Xiping City until dusk in the afternoon.
This was half a day later than Zhao Ziliang expected.
After arriving, the Tibetan army immediately surrounded the entire Xiping City.
There is no water leakage, and the largest number of Tibetan troops are deployed outside the west city gate.
This direction is also where the camp of the Tibetan army commander is located.
According to the detailed news, the Tibetan Zan Pu Xisongde also accompanied the army to the camp outside the city this time.
After the Tubo army besieged the city, they began to camp outside the city.
Zhao Ziliang stood on the city wall and used binoculars to observe the situation of the Tubo army's camp.
After observing the situation, Zhao Ziliang was quite surprised.
The Tubo army camped two miles outside the city without setting up a fence to surround the camp. , block possible raids from within the city After observing for a while, Zhao Ziliang asked the generals and officials on his left and right: "Do you see anything?"
Duan Xiushi shouted: "Commander, these Tubo people are too bold.
They actually set up a fence in front of the camp to protect them.
If we send cavalry out of the city at night to raid, we will definitely be able to break the Tibetan army."
Zhao Ziliang smiled and said: "Why wait until night?
You can do it now."
"Now" Duan Xiushi shook his head and said: "Commander, this is too risky.
There are a large number of Tibetan cavalry blocking the front.
I'm afraid it will not be easy to rush into their camp, and it will be easy to get trapped in the middle.
Zhao Ziliang said: "Look at the morale of these cavalry besieging the city.
They were completely unprepared for this matter.
They thought that their hundreds of thousands of troops besieging the city must have frightened us, and they would never dare to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight them.
But we were Are you scared?
Come here, order all the cavalry to be ready.
I have decided to charge into the formation myself."
"promise" The generals and school officials could not persuade him, so they had to arrange everything for Zhao Ziliang.
Half an hour later, 4,800 cavalrymen and Zhao Ziliang's 200 personal soldiers, a total of 5,000 cavalrymen, were ready in the urn city inside the west city gate.

Zhao Ziliang held the hilt of the sword and walked to the horse, turned on his horse, took out the precious eagle bow from the bow pouch, raised it and said: "After rushing out of the city, everyone lined up in an arrow formation, struck first with bows and arrows, and a thousand people in front shot forward.
The people behind shoot at the left and right wings.
The distance between the two sides is only one mile, so the time left for us to shoot is limited.
Each person can only set up three rounds.
After three rounds, switch to longer weapons.
If you are entangled, switch to short weapons to chop.
These They are practiced regularly Tactics, I don’t need to say more.
I’m just here to remind you, don’t be afraid just because the enemy has a large number of people.
Having a large number of people may not be useful.
Everyone must keep a clear mind at all times.
If your mind is always confused, then you will survive.
The probability will be greatly reduced.
Remember, everyone must maintain formation and follow me, and don't fall behind.
As long as we overwhelm the tent of the Tibetan army commander, the Tibetan army will be defeated.
Get ready to set off, open the city gate and lower the suspension bridge."
As the suspension bridge and the city gate creaked, Zhao Ziliang immediately rushed out of the city with his horse in hand.
When he rushed to the city gate, the city gates were all opened, and six columns behind him rushed out from the city gate hole.
As more and more Tang Army cavalry rushed out of the city, arrows formed in a sharp arrow formation, and those behind accelerated to catch up and formed arrow shafts.
"Fire the arrow!"
Zhao Ziliang roared, and an arrow was shot out.
Then he shot five more arrows in a row, and everyone else shot three arrows respectively.
The Tibetan cavalry who were blocking one mile in front of the city gate did not expect that the Tang army would rush out at this time, so they had no preparation at all.
The distance of one mile was too short for the high-speed sprinting cavalry.
When the Tibetan cavalrymen came to their senses after noticing something unusual, the Tang cavalrymen had already rushed forward, and there was chaos.
The Tubo army was already close at hand.
Zhao Ziliang put away his treasured eagle bow, took off the horse's spear from the victory hook and swept it forward.
In the blink of an eye, the four Tubo army cavalry who were blocking the front were swept into two pieces.
The horse's spear in his hand Constantly going back and forth, rows of Tibetan cavalry were swept down, and the tip of his arrow inserted smoothly into the Tubo army's formation.
The Tubo cavalry was in chaos, and the cavalry were crowded with each other.
The Tang army inserted into the formation in front, but the Tang cavalry behind kept firing arrows at the Tubo army on the left and right sides on horseback.
A large number of soldiers flew into the dense Tubo army. causing extremely heavy casualties.
Within two minutes, Zhao Ziliang led the Tang cavalry to break through the Tibetan cavalry formation blocking the city gate, and rushed into the camp where the Tibetan army was setting up at an extremely fast speed.
He was riding on horseback and slashing Killing, while observing the location of the commander's tent of the Tibetan army, he soon discovered the location of the commander's tent, and led the Tang army soldiers to kill them all the way, leaving a large number of Tibetan army corpses along the way
