Chapter 1244: Strangulation

There were more than 5,000 people under Abdula, of which more than 3,000 elite cavalry were all left in the central army camp by Li Cunzhong. The remaining more than 2,000 people were assigned to the following divisions, mainly engaged in some auxiliary work, but they were almost the same as those of the military civilians.

At first, Abdula had a lot of objections to such an arrangement. He believed that his subordinates were all good men who were good at fighting and letting them join the civilians was humiliating his soldiers. However, he did not say this. Because the benefits of such arrangements were also obvious, his subordinates would avoid casualties.

Li Cunzhong did not treat his subordinates as cannon fodder to the front line. What else can Abdula say?

Even if I feel a little humiliated, I am afraid that his subordinates will be happy.

It was not until the war was at its peak that Abdula understood why Li Cunzhong had to make such arrangements. Both sides of the war were elites of their own country. Compared with these troops, Abdula suddenly realized that his subordinates were really not good at combat effectiveness.

It was at this time that Abdula realized that Sinobud had not used all his strength to deal with him seriously since he attacked Yushu.

In Xenobud's eyes, he was just a bait that lured Li Cunzhong to help and thus led him into the trap.

This discovery made Abdula feel frustrated.

Standing next to Li Cunzhong, there were many miles around him, and the sound of killing was filled with fierce battles.

After the tentative attack on the first day left behind the bodies of countless young and strong civilians, Delhi Chinan and others also reacted. Facing the Tang army, they sent the civilians up, and they could not bring anything to them except to die for nothing.

Mo He's cavalry provocate has been scattered for about a hundred miles, but there is still no trace of Han Rui's 10,000 cavalry, which makes Delhi Chinan's anxiety even more.

The other party must have come out, but it just can't be found.

Not finding it means uncertainty.

What I fear most is this uncertainty when leading the army to fight.

So from the next day, the Tubo army sent all its elite troops to fight.

The war immediately rose to more than one level.

The shame of defeat many years ago was a local war again, defending the country, and the combat effectiveness of the Tubo warriors also soared in geometric multiples. For them, the Tang people were invaders, who came to steal their cattle and sheep, rob their pasture land, and were evil guys who wanted to turn them into slaves.

They are the party of justice, and Buddha will surely bless them to win.

When fighting against Xue Renzhong of Chamdo, the existence of the lamas in red greatly encouraged the morale of the serf-rebellion troops. At this moment, the lamas in yellow were doing the same thing in the army in Chinan, Delhi.

These yellow-clothed lamas can not only encourage their soldiers in their spirit, but also have a general understanding of some medical skills. Among them, there are many skilled people, and they also play the role of doctors in the military camp.

Of course, in the Tubo army, there were more witch doctors and the master of Tiaotiao sang a small song, then smeared a handful of strange grays, and finally, whether it was death or life depends on the will of God.

"General, I think I can lead the cavalry and rush from the intersection of the two armies to slash the opponent's spirit!" Abdula, who had not received any task, recommended himself.

"No need!" Li Cunzhong waved his hand: "With the current offensive of the Tubo army, it cannot break our defense line. Look at his main force of the cavalry, he has been wandering around nearby. It is easy for you to go out, but it will be difficult to come back. Once you cannot return smoothly after the assault, we have to go to pick you up, and the originally solid array will have flaws."

"We don't need to be a supporter. If we can fight out, I can fight back!" Abdula said firmly.

Li Cunzhong turned around with a smile and patted Abdula's shoulder: "I understand your thoughts, but good steel is also used on the blade. Now it is just a pre-dinner dessert. The real meal has not yet begun! When you have made meritorious performance."

Abdula, who was born into a serf, naturally did not understand what pre-meal dessert is, but the general meaning was still clear. But now it seems that Delhi Chinan even sent out his direct line, and he must be fighting for his life. Why did the general say that it is not the time yet?

To be honest, Abdula was a little scared when he looked at it.

Because right in front of them, a Tang army lineup that formed the plum blossom formation was shaky no matter how you look at it. They were carrying the most fierce attack of the Tubo army, because this position was closest to their central army camp. If you break it, you can directly threaten this area of ​​Gaogang, thereby mobilizing four other Tang army formations around.

But no matter how dangerous it seems, Li Cunzhong doesn't seem to be in a position to rescue him.

Looking at the wounded people who were constantly lifting them down, Abdula was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

Although he has been fighting for several years, in such a big battle, Abdula's experience and vision are really not above the same level as veterans like Li Cunzhong.

Xanobud was in a heavy mood.

The repeated failures made him feel more and more anxious, but he had to pretend to be confident on the surface. Until now, the Tang army has not used their unique skills, such as grenades and turbulent oil bombs, and the Tang army has not used them at all.

These weapons have begun to become popular among the Tang army. Forces like Li Cunzhong must have been equipped on a large scale. The other party does not use them now, and can only be said to want to use these things in places they think are more important.

If now is not the most important time, then when is it?

Sinobud was responsible for the offensive task of a Tang army formation in the north. He formed a number of layers of circular army formations composed of about 5,000 people. The first layer had been thinned by him, but this was useless. The insignificant results obtained by using huge losses were not even enough to make the Tang army retreat a little, and he did not even achieve the formation that suppressed the opponent's side.

Sometimes Thanobud feels powerless.

Facing such a Tubo army that even ordinary soldiers were wearing iron armor and had several levels of equipment, they were really powerless.

In Chang'an, he had the honor of hearing Li Ze's conversations about military construction several times. He had not had such a deep understanding of what Li Ze said earlier that fighting money is about war. Now, he has really understood it.

The Tang army was piled up with money. Not to mention the other party's complete system such as logistics supply, the equipment of the soldiers alone was beyond the reach.

The cost of an ordinary soldier spending on equipment is roughly comparable to the equipment of a middle- and senior military officer in Tubo.

This is probably what Li Ze advocates to use money to kill his opponent.

The front line retreated again, and the supervisory team rushed up with anger. The whip, knife and stick were all on, forcing the retreating soldiers to reorganize their formation and rushed up again.

He saw a familiar young Tubo nobleman rushing forward. The moment he rushed to the Tang army, countless crossbow arrows buzzed, and the young nobleman who had a promising future fell to the sky, and his chest was filled with short, tailless feathered crossbow arrows like the Tang army were inserted.

Xenobud suddenly felt stuffy in his chest.

He always involuntarily thought of what he saw and heard in the Tang Dynasty over the years.

From Wuyi to Chang'an, he witnessed Li Ze from one overlord to becoming the master of the entire Tang Dynasty.

This person's power has been growing steadily, but it seems that this person's style has never changed.

Li Ze's self-restraint made Sinobud scared.

As the most powerful person in the world, Li Ze was not fond of women, so he only had two daughters-in-law. He was not fond of luxury. He only occupied such a small piece of the luxurious palace in Chang'an, the Tang Dynasty. With a stroke of his pen, he became the office space of the court. Some even became places for ordinary people to enter and exit at will. As long as they spend a few cents, they could travel the most noble place in the world in the past. He was simple in life. When he received Sinobude, he only had six dishes and one soup. It was said that he cooked himself. Everyone in the Tang Dynasty regarded Li Ze personally cooking and treating himself as the greatest honor.

But on the contrary, the emperor was extremely generous to his people.

He encouraged those rich people to spend a lot of money. The rich merchants in the Tang Dynasty had extremely luxurious lives. They seemed to have never worried that they would be hated by the emperor and confiscate their property because of these. Such things seemed normal to Sinobud.

However, it has never happened under the Tang Dynasty under Li Ze's rule. As long as these people abide by the rules and regulations and pay the fees in full, the court even encouraged them to do that. Anyone who stormed a lot of money at home would be punished.

The Tang Dynasty's money house has a rule that seems incredible to Xenobud.

No matter who it is, if the deposit in the money house is less than 10,000 silver dollars, then the money can generate interest, that is, the money house will pay these people.

But if more than 10,000 silver dollars are exceeded, the money bank will have to draw a management fee. The more you deposit, the more management fee you will draw.

In order to implement this policy, in the Datang transaction, more than 1,000 silver dollars are not allowed to be delivered in cash bank, and can only be redeemed through money houses. Once the regulatory authorities find out who has used a large amount of cash bank transactions, the huge fine and the following business investigation will be enough to bankrupt a well-run merchant.

In the words of Xia He, the imperial concubine who was in charge of the Tang Dynasty's wealth at that time, money was only when it flowed, and storing money was a crime. The Tang Dynasty would never allow such a situation to occur.

The Tang Dynasty used these policies that Sinobud seemed incomprehensible to become richer day by day. Li Ze let his soldiers armed to the teeth, and thus the cruel reality that the Tubo people had to face.

Seeing several more passionate Tubo men fell under the swords and guns of the Tang people, Senobud closed his eyes in pain.
