As the Tang army's infantry phalanx approached step by step, the Tibetan prisoners, who were afraid of being stabbed to death, had to use all their strength to retreat to the rear.
The last Tibetan prisoners were squeezed out and fell into the pit one by one.
The three Charlies who were hiding next to the rolling log on the city wall finally understood.
Tony said in surprise: "Oh my God, the Tang army is massacring the barbarian prisoners.
They want to force all these prisoners into the pit.
If you don’t go in, you’ll be killed.”
Charlie immediately covered Tony's mouth and whispered: "Yeah, do you want to kill us?
Don't be so loud?"
Tony nodded quickly, and then Charlie let go and said: "I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of barbarians on the plateau.
Yesterday, they were partially defeated by a cavalry raid led by General Tang Army, killing more than 20,000 people.
These barbarians The prisoners must have been captured yesterday.
Although the barbarians were partially defeated, their losses were nothing compared to hundreds of thousands of people.
I guess the barbarian army I will definitely attack the city again.
I have observed in the past two days that the Tang army has only about 15,000 people here, 5,000 of which are cavalry, and only 10,000 can actually be used to defend the city.
If they want to guard such If there are too many prisoners, some of the troops must be allocated.
The general of the Tang army must have guessed that the barbarian army would definitely come to attack the city again, so he decided to kill these prisoners to eliminate unstable factors."
Jason said angrily: "Those barbarians really deserve to be killed.
Wherever they go, there is no grass growing, no chickens or dogs left.
They are simply destroying civilization."
Tony couldn't help but sneered when Jason said this: "Hey, Jason, you sound like you are flaunting yourself as a very gentlemanly knight, but don't forget what we came to the East for this time."
The papermaking process was stolen from the craftsmen of the Tang Empire.
Compared with these barbarians, you are not much more noble."
Jason said angrily: "I'm not the only one hired.
Don't you have any credit for this?
Even if you don't get paid, you have done this."
Charlie heard the two arguing and had to stop him: "That's enough.
Don't you all want to live anymore?
If we attract the attention of the Tang Army soldiers, we will be dead."
The three of them looked outside the city wall again.
The Tibetan prisoners were forced bit by bit by Tang army infantry to fall into the large pit.
The pit was several feet deep, and the walls of the pit were straight and smooth.
After falling in, they could not climb out in a short time.
If you don't come up, even if you climb up, the Tang army soldiers next to the big pit will use their spears to stab the Tibetan prisoners who climb up to death.
Not long after, a thousand Tubo prisoners were squeezed into the pit except for a few, and most of the others were killed by the Tang army.
Then the Tang army threw the corpses one after another into the pit.
The prisoners were quickly surrounded by the Tang army and shot with bows and arrows.
Then the soldiers of the Tang army entered the pit and took back the arrows.
After these thousand prisoners were killed, another thousand prisoners were soon escorted over.
The Tang army used the same method to kill the second group of Tibetan prisoners.
It only took less than a quarter of an hour to finish them all.
In terms of time, The pinch was very accurate, and all the more than 6,000 Tibetan prisoners were dealt with in less than an hour and a half.
After the last group of prisoners were driven out of the pit, the Tang army was too lazy to shoot any more arrows, and directly began to fill the pit with soil.
All the Tibetan prisoners were buried alive.
Seeing that the large pit of one hundred meters long and wide was filled up, and thousands of Tibetan prisoners were buried in it, Charlie, Tony and Jason, who were hiding in a corner of the city wall and peeking, all turned pale and trembled all over.
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from behind: "What are you three doing here?

Stand up!"
Charlie and the other three were suddenly startled, and their expressions changed drastically.
After finishing speaking, Tang Jun noticed that the three of them slowly stood up and turned around with their heads lowered.
The patrol captain looked at these three tall and burly soldiers with their heads lowered and frowned, shouting: "Which battalion are you three from?"
In order to obtain the manufacturing process and formulas of papermaking, Charlie and the three of them spent more than half a year in Datang.
Charlie learned some Chinese and could understand some, but he could not speak very well and could only speak some daily expressions.
After listening to this When asked by the captain of the Tang Army, he was not allowed to casually say: "Third Battalion" The patrol captain of the "Third Battalion" heard this and the wrinkles on his forehead deepened.
He became more vigilant and said, "Isn't it the turn of the Third Battalion to be on duty yet?
You raise your heads."
Charlie and the other three felt cold after hearing this.
It's over.
It's really over now.
As long as Tang Jun sees their faces, everything will be revealed.
But what else can be done at this time?
Jason lowered his head and asked Charlie anxiously: "Charlie, what should we do now?
If we look up, we will be discovered.
How about we fight out?"
Beads of sweat appeared on Charlie's forehead at this time.
He had just thought of several countermeasures in his mind in an instant, but none of them were suitable.
After listening to Jason's words, he asked: "Do you think there is a possibility for us to escape?"
"?"
But the patrol captain couldn't wait any longer.
He couldn't understand what Charlie and the others were muttering, and immediately shouted: "I asked you to raise your heads.
Are you all deaf?
Do you want me to ask someone to ask you to raise your heads?"
Charlie said: "Raise your hands after raising your head.
Don't try to resist.
If we resist, we will definitely die.
If we don't resist, we may still have the possibility of survival."
Tony said: "Are we just going to leave our life and death in the hands of Tang Jun?"
"Stop talking nonsense, we will be killed immediately if we do this."
After Charlie finished speaking, he slowly raised his head and raised his hands, trying his best to show a harmless smile.
The "Blonde-haired and Blue-Eyed Man from the West" patrolling the city was shocked when he saw the appearance of Charlie and the other three.
He immediately drew his sword and shouted: "Come here, surround me."
Seven or eight Tang Army soldiers behind him immediately surrounded the three of Charlie with shields and swords.
Charlie quickly smiled and said: "Everyone, everyone, don't do it, don't do it, we don't mean any harm."
The patrol captain separated the two Tang soldiers in front and looked at Charlie and the others.
He saw that they were wearing Tang army armor.
If their appearance, hair and eyes were not different from those of the Central Plains people, it would be difficult to tell them apart.
After all, there were not only Han people in the Tang army, but also There were many fighters from other ethnic groups.
"You don't have any ill intentions and you wore our armor and sneaked onto the city wall.
What do you want?"
Charlie sneered and said: "Don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand, we are just curious and curious, so that's all."
The patrol captain sneered: "Do you think I'm a three-year-old kid that's easy to coax?
Come on, tie up these three golden-haired ghosts."

Ropes and shackles are essential tools for soldiers patrolling the city.
They carry them with them so that they can catch soldiers who are lazy or neglect their duties on the city wall at any time.
Now these tools are not used on the soldiers of the Tang Army, but on three Westerners. body.
In a short time, Charlie and the three of them were tied up tightly.
Their weapons, bows, arrows, and shields were all taken away, and all their money and belongings were also searched.
When Jason was carrying a stack of brown paper, After being found out, the expressions of the three Charlies changed drastically.
Jason said with a sad face: "It's over, it's over, as long as the papermaking process and formula are found, they will definitely kill us."
Charlie whispered: "Don't worry, it's written in Latin.
Most people don't know Latin characters.
The Tang people don't know what's written on it, so they won't deal with us rashly."
Tony was surprised: "When did you?"
Charlie smiled bitterly and said: "I was worried about being searched when I passed the checkpoint, so I found a Byzantine businessman in Chang'an to translate it into Latin."
Jason said: "You won't kill that Byzantine businessman, will you?"
Charlie didn't answer, which was obviously equivalent to admitting it.
Jason shook his head and said: "I didn't expect you to be more ruthless than me."
"If he hadn't made a copy, I would never have killed him."
The patrol captain opened the stack of paper in his hand and saw that it was densely packed with strange tadpole characters and some incomprehensible pictures.
He also saw Charlie and the other three muttering in a low voice, and immediately shouted: "Say, this is What does it say?"
Charlie rolled his eyes and said: "Your Majesty General, we are businessmen from the Byzantine Empire, and this is our account book for doing business."
"Byzantine Merchant Account Book" The patrol captain looked at the white papers in his hand, then at Charlie and others, and coldly snorted: "You look like a businessman, don't think I can easily fool people. take away" "Let's go" The soldiers of the Tang Army pushed Charlie and the other three people forward and followed the captain who patrolled the city.
Tony asked in a low voice as he walked: "Charlie, where do they want to take us?
We won't be buried alive like those savages.
Oh, God, I don't want to die so cowardly."
Jason said: "Don't be ridiculous if you still want to die vigorously.
Even if you want to do this, they won't let you die vigorously.
Maybe we will be brutally killed."
Charlie whispered: "Probably not.
We are not those barbarians.
We are from the West.
They should not kill us casually before they figure out our identities.
The Tang State is the most civilized country in the East."
"That's not certain.
You have to know that this is war time and anything can happen."
Not long after, the city patrol captain led his men to escort the three Charlies to Zhao Ziliang, who was inspecting the city defense affairs.
"Commander, these three Xiyi people are disguised as our soldiers and are hiding on the city wall to the outside of the city wall."
After peeking, the general suspected that they were the work of the Tubo people, so he arrested them.
At this time, the things found on them were also these pieces of paper with strange words and pictures written on them."
Zhao Ziliang turned his head and looked at it, and immediately smiled: "Oh, I didn't expect that three distinguished Western guests would come to our remote place.
May I ask Mr.
Sanwei what his name is?"
The three of them looked at each other, and Charlie said awkwardly: "I am Charlie, and these are Tony and Jason.
We are actually businessmen from the Eastern Roman Empire.
Did you know that the Eastern Roman Empire is what you call Fu Fu?"
