"Your Majesty, the Tubo people built a strong pass with huge rocks at the Bayan Har Pass.
Weichen led his army to attack for three consecutive days.
More than 10,000 Tianzhu soldiers were killed and injured, but they were unable to attack the pass.
The strength of those Tianzhu soldiers was really great.
Too bad , even if Wei Chen personally supervised the battle and killed more than two hundred soldiers who had withdrawn without authorization, he could not drive them to continue attacking the city.
Alas, Wei Chen is incompetent, please punish me."
Xuan Jiu, covered in blood, knelt in front of Zhao Ziliang to apologize. .
Zhao Ziliang touched his short beard and said to Xuan Jiu: "Since your troops have been fighting for three consecutive days, we will temporarily withdraw and rest for a few days to build wood.
Starting from tomorrow, your troops will attack the pass on the mountain pass and divide your people into Several groups are attacking one after another.
Although the pass is strong and dangerous, the number of people stationed there must not be many.
Even if you use them up, you can still use up all of them.
Do you understand?"
Zhamu stood up and saluted and agreed: "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."
Zhao Ziliang looked at Chen Qing and asked: "How is the situation on Ma Sui's side and where is the fight?"
Chen Qing said: "We have already reached the Yanze area.
The barbarian rebels in the Dafeichuan area are greatly frightened and are going to order Ma Sui to lead his army south to attack Tuosimabu with our army."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, waved his hand and said: "No, I ordered Ma Sui to cooperate with Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode's troops to attack the barbarian rebels."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Du Fu walked in at this time and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Your Majesty, after the rebel Lingwu Army besieged Fengtian near Chang'an to no avail, they retreated all the way to Kuozhou under the leadership of their prefect Yao Zhitong.
There are signs that they have some conflicts with the barbarian rebels.
There are signs of alliance, and the Tubo people in Tusima also seem to be interested in uniting with the two rebels."
"Oh" Zhao Ziliang walked to the map, found the location of Kuozhou, and said after thinking for a moment: "No matter whether they are united or not, the three of them are now surrounded by our army and the Tang army, and they are already at an absolute disadvantage strategically, unless They have the power to reach heaven Enough to jump out of our encirclement, but even if they jump out of our encirclement, so what, they will still be chased everywhere by our army like a lost dog.
Isn’t this Yao Zhitong going to lead troops to Xiangyang to quell the rebellion?
Why is he leading it himself now?
He ran away with the rebels.”
Du Fu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yao Zhitong was also coerced by the rebel generals.
Maybe there was nothing he could do about it.
His whole family was in the army, and he couldn't do it even if he didn't agree to the rebels.
Now that Guo Ziyi has led his army to Jincheng, the emperor sent another Let Ge Shuzhen lead the army to quell Li Zhongchen's rebellion."
On the second day of April, under the leadership and supervision of Zhamu, the Tubo slave army continued to attack the mountain pass every day for five consecutive days.
The slave army suffered heavy casualties, losing more than 12,000 people, and still failed to break through the mountain pass.
The pass, but the Tosima defenders defending the pass also suffered many casualties, and their strength was greatly weakened.
After Zhamu reported the situation to Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang said to Zhao Bei: "In this case, continue to strengthen the offensive.
Starting tomorrow, you will lead the Tibetan mercenaries to take over Zhamu's attack on the city.
This time, they will not be given time to rest and will attack day and night. , each group of troops attacks for an hour, and then switches to another group of troops, I don’t believe that those Tuosima defenders are iron men."
"Yes, Your Majesty" Starting from the third day of April, Zhao Bei personally supervised the battle.
The 80,000 Tibetan mercenaries were divided into twelve echelons.
Each echelon attacked for an hour, and then another echelon continued the attack.
In this way, twelve echelons could be guaranteed throughout the day.
There are troops and horses attacking at all times.
After two days of continuous attack, the defensive Tuosima defenders finally could not withstand the fatigue and tremendous mental pressure.
The Tubo mercenaries also led by Zhao Bei climbed onto the pass wall of the mountain pass, and the Tuosima defenders All were annihilated.
"Hahaha, it seems that this fatigue tactic is still very effective."
Zhao Ziliang heard that Zhao Bei had successfully captured the pass of Bayan Har Pass.
He was overjoyed and said to the generals and officials: "In the future, we will encounter such dangerous passes.
If our army has sufficient strength, we can consider using this tactic to break through the border.

Although the casualties will be larger, the dead are all mercenaries and servants, and no pension is needed."
It can be seen that Zhao Ziliang's attitude towards the standing army, servant army and mercenaries of the Western Qin Dynasty is still very different.
He cherishes every soldier of the standing army, but he will not care about the mercenaries and servant troops no matter how many deaths they have. care.
In his opinion, the loyalty of mercenaries and servant armies was not worthy of trust.
There is another aspect, that is, after the war is over, the placement of these soldiers and horses is a big problem.
Mercenaries are easier to handle.
Each of them is recruited and works for money.
After the war is over, some severance pay will be directly paid to sever them.
They can do it, but the servant army cannot simply do this.
These people have surrendered.
If these people are dismissed directly, they may gather in the mountains and forests to cause trouble.
"Now that the pass of Bayan Har Pass has been broken through by our army, then our army can march straight in.
Pass the king's military order.
After three days of rest, the army will break camp and set off to attack the hinterland of Tuosima."
The generals clasped their fists and agreed in unison: "Yes" On April 12, Zhao Ziliang's army reached the south bank of the Yellow River, crossed the river and marched north within three days, attacking all the way to Jishi Mountain, and launched attacks in all directions.
Tuosima's various tribes were defeated one after another, and a large number of soldiers and horses from Tuosima's tribe were captured.
Or surrender.
On April 15th, Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode took the lead in launching a raid and captured Shibao City, seizing the fortress that blocked the Eastern Expedition Army from moving north.
After a series of fortresses in Shibao City were captured, the barbarian rebels launched an attack on the Eastern Expedition Army.
The resistance also came to an end, and there was no longer a place to defend from Shibao City to Dafeichuan.
On the 16th, Ma Sui also launched an attack and successively captured several cities on the west bank of the West Sea.
Faced with this unfavorable situation, a large number of barbarian rebel soldiers began to flee.
In just a few days, the strength of the barbarian rebels The number was reduced to no less than 30,000, and the rebels had to shrink their forces and retreat to Dafeichuan.
However, a large number of rebels gathered in Dafeichuan, which caused extremely violent internal conflicts, which brought disaster to the barbarian rebels.
On April 22, just as Zhao Ziliang's army had completely wiped out the Tusima area, the barbarian rebels engaged in internal strife and fighting in Dafeichuan.
Only 6,000 party soldiers among the rebels achieved victory.
After Du Fu got the news, he immediately reported to Zhao Ziliang, explained the situation in detail, and finally said: "General Ma Lin sent someone to send news that the six thousand party soldiers requested to surrender to the king, and they will be driven by the king from now on."
"Oh" Zhao Ziliang sneered in his heart after hearing this and asked: "Besides these six thousand party soldiers, how many party members are there?"
"There are less than 20,000 people, and they are all old and weak.
The youngest ones in the old group are only fifty trivial.
The oldest among the younger ones is only twelve years old.
In addition, among the six thousand party soldiers, there are There are more than two thousand women.”
"These Dangxiang soldiers are really all soldiers, and women are fighting."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and said: "Okay, tell Ma Lin that in order for these Dangxiang soldiers to surrender, the men and women must be separated, and their weapons must be collected first.
Let’s talk about it when the army arrives.”
"Yes, Your Majesty" On April 25, Zhao Ziliang led his army to Dafeichuan and successfully joined forces with Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode's troops of the East Route Army.
Ma Sui also arrived with his army.
The various forces finally completely solved the Tibetan issue in Dafeichuan.
The situation of war and confrontation between Tibet and the Central Plains that had existed for hundreds of years was settled, and Tibet could no longer pose a threat to surrounding areas.
In Dafeichuan, 200,000 troops gathered, colorful flags were everywhere, and there were military camps stretching for dozens of miles.
The Western Qin army has less than 60,000 troops, most of which are Tubo servants and mercenaries.
The Tianzhu army has less than 20,000 troops, the Niboluo army has only 5,000 men, and there are also 30,000 Tang troops.
Some of the Tang troops were captured After the barbarian rebels were dispersed and gathered together by Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode, the other part was Zhang Shouyu's tribe in Mobei.
In Zhao Ziliang's spacious tent, dozens of generals and military ministers lined up on both sides.
Zhao Ziliang said to the generals and ministers accompanying the army: "This campaign against Tubo started in the first month of last year and has continued until now.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
It has been a full year and more than three months.
Finally, we have completely conquered all the Tubo tribes.
All thanks to the exclusion of the Qing family.
Against all odds, we fought to the death to achieve this situation today."
All the generals and ministers said in unison: "This is the duty of ministers."
Zhao Ziliang added: "Although all the Tubo tribes and barbarian rebels have been eradicated, there are still many scattered and escaped stragglers wandering around the West Sea, and there are quite a few of them.
It is said that the barbarian rebels have just begun.
There were still 50,000 people left.
By the time Ma Lin and Bai Xiaode led their troops to attack, there were less than 30,000 people.
It can be seen that at least 50,000 people had fled.
Wherever these people fled was only in the nearby mountains and forests and Tuyuhun villages, leaving behind These people must They will become a scourge again, and they must be resolutely eliminated.
The king has made up his mind.
Starting tomorrow, he will send people to the surrounding Tuyuhun and Qiang villages to post notices, asking these people to come out and surrender within a time limit.
If within the fifteenth day, If they don't come out and surrender, our army will send troops to chase them down and behead them all after they are caught.
If they come out and surrender, they will be exempted from death penalty.
Du Fu, you organize the military scribes to copy some notices, and then send people to the Tuyuhun tribes and villages in various places.
Post" Du Fu agreed: "Yes, I will obey my orders."
Zhao Ziliang added: "I believe that some people will walk out of the mountains and surrender after seeing or hearing the content of the notice, but there must be some people who are lucky and refuse to come out to surrender.
I sent out detectives to collect all the people who escaped with these people."
Information about the rebel deserters hiding in the mountains and forests and nearby tribal villages, finding their hiding places and finding out their strength, this information needs to be known before the army pursues the suppression."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Xuan Shiba agreed and then returned to his original position.
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Where are Yao Zhitong's rebels?"
Ma Lin stood up and clasped his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, Yao Zhitong originally wanted to unite with the barbarian rebels to resist our attack, but later Jingzhou Jiedushi Tian Xijian sent someone to tell him that he wanted to join forces with him to share Chang'an.
Tian Xijian has strong troops, With great strength, Yao Zhitong believed it, so he led his army there, but he didn't know that this was Tian Xijian's plan to lure the enemy.
As soon as the two met, Tian Xijian ordered the axemen lying in ambush to chop him to death.
The owl beast was sent to Chang'an, and Yao Zhitong's subordinates The rebels also surrendered.”
Zhao Ziliang asked: "The Lingwu Army only had a few thousand people, but the soldiers and horses in Chang'an at that time were probably tens of thousands without the Forbidden Army.
Why could the rebels succeed?
Could it be that all the generals in Chang'an were just losers?"
