    Everyone thought of a bloody battlefield scene: the retreating Tibetan army rushed towards the Forbidden Army like ducks for the Tang army. In order to prevent the Forbidden Army's position from being disrupted, Chidezuzan had no choice but to order to shoot with arrows.  However, it was useless, because the cavalry of the Tang army rushed over with their horses in an overwhelming force.  The defeated Tubo army could not resist and rushed over, disrupting the formation of the Forbidden Army.

    After the defeated army came the Tang Army. After the Tang Army passed by, the ground was red!

    Zhang said this move was not cruel, but extremely cruel!

    Guo Qianguan, Ge Shuhan, Fei Junxing, Cheng Xiaotian, and other generals all crawled over among the dead, and they cut off countless heads with their own hands.  Even Chen Wanrong, after these days of experience, has become accustomed to the bloody battlefield, but when he thinks of the method Zhang said, he still can't help but feel frightened.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? If the fight continues as he said, the Tibetan armies will trample upon each other, and a lot of people will die, not a hundred thousand, but tens of thousands.  The Tang army then used them as tools to attack the Forbidden Army's position. In order to prevent the Forbidden Army's position from being scattered, the Forbidden Army had no choice but to shoot and kill many of them. As a result, the casualties were very high.

    Guo Qiangguan had never done anything like this in his whole life of fighting. His face showed a look of intolerance and he couldn't help but shake his head: "Master Zhang, you are not cruel, but you are very cruel! If you continue to fight like this, how can the Tubo army survive?"  How many survived? Thirty thousand? Twenty thousand? Or ten thousand? I, Guo Qianguan, joined the army as a young man and fought all my life. I am not a soft-hearted person, but when I think of what you said, I can't help but feel terrified! "

    He spoke on behalf of everyone, and everyone nodded slightly.

    Zhang said it as if nothing happened: "It's better if they die. Only when they die can they be called clean! It would be best for Datang if none of these people survive! Even if we win this battle and they surrender, what will happen to us?"  Deal with them? If we put them back, will they give up? They will definitely not be willing to give up, they will make trouble secretly, and maybe even cause trouble."

    The soldiers of the Tubo army were small slave owners. If the Tang Dynasty wanted to abolish slavery, they would definitely not be reconciled and would go against the Tang Dynasty.  It would be a good idea to catch them, kill them but not kill them, and throw them into the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty.  However, these are more than 200,000 people. Even if 150,000 to 60,000 are captured alive, it will be very troublesome to release them to the mainland, and the court will also be in trouble.

    Zhang said that this was to the point. Everyone was silent for a while, only to hear Zhang continue: "It's better to die cleanly!"

    It would be most beneficial to the Tang Dynasty to let them all die, but this matter was too bloody. Guo Qianguan shook his head and said: "Master Zhang, fortunately you are a civil servant and not a military general. Otherwise, if any enemy encounters you on the battlefield, then  It¡¯s a bloody misfortune that has lasted eight lifetimes!¡±

    Zhang Shuo laughed and said: "Commander, you think too highly of me! Some things you don't want to do, but you have to do! Commander, finally, I have another idea, which is to capture as few prisoners as possible in this battle.  Kill them all!¡±

    The generals were silent, and no one agreed.

    After a while, Guo Qianguan finally said: "Master Zhang has made a thorough analysis. Let's start with the easy things and then the hard ones. You all go for it with free hands and feet! In this battle, try to leave as few survivors as possible!"

    The generals were stunned for a moment, and then they responded: "Follow the order!"

    Catching too many prisoners would be very detrimental to the Tang army.  Because, after this battle is over, the Tang army must retreat before the heavy snow seals the mountains and supplies cannot be transported.  Only a small number of troops can be left to garrison. Once the army withdraws, what will happen to these prisoners?  Not to mention whether there are so many people to look after them, it is just a big difficulty to supply them with food.

    It would be most beneficial to the Tang army to leave as few survivors as possible.

    No general has fought this kind of battle before.  Even if they were fighting against the Turks, they would not kill the prisoners they captured, because it was a prairie where they could come and go freely, and it was much easier to bring them back to the interior.  There is no problem in feeding the prisoners. In a word, they can afford it.

    Tubo is different. There are not many roads and it is difficult to transport food.  When the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, the Tang army did not have enough supplies themselves, so how could they have any spare power to control them?  It's better to kill to save trouble!

    History is actually made of blood!

    Guo Qianguan patted his forehead: "Now, everything is ready! But, I wonder how many days of good weather God can give me?"

    Such a large-scale decisive battle would take several days to complete, even if the Tibetan army failed.  Not to mention, in order to cut off the retreat of the Tibetan army, it would take several days for the army to march and capture the key passes.

    By the time the treatment is completed, it will not take ten days, but seven or eight days.

    If God is not kind and it rains during the march, like the last march, it will add huge difficulties to the decisive battle, especially the use of cavalry will be restricted.

    The use of cavalry requires not only enough space for easy deployment.  The ground should also be softWhen they rushed in front of them, they looked at the slave soldiers holding weapons, each one still in a daze.

    A soldier laughed and asked: "Brothers, which department are you in? You have a sharp eye!"

    "Shut up! We are the army of the Tang Dynasty!" The slave soldier answered him very proudly.

    "Porphy! Porch!" The Tibetan soldiers burst into laughter and shouted, "We are still Zanpu's army!"

    Where the sword was shining, the head of a Tibetan soldier was moved. Only then did the Tibetan soldier realize that something was wrong. He was in chaos and was busy looking for his own weapon.  But, I was busy eating and drinking, and I was not prepared at all. Where could I find it?

    This Tang army was born as slaves and hated these domineering Tibetan soldiers. They did not wait for orders and started killing them with weapons in their hands.

    Heads rolled down, blood splattered, and screams resounded!  When everything calmed down, less than a hundred of the three thousand Tibetan soldiers who guarded the city survived.

    ?According to what Zhang said, these Tubo soldiers died cleanly, and Wu Shaoxing did not order to stop them and allowed them to kill them.  The reason why about a hundred people survived was because the Tang army had vented their hatred enough and had no interest in killing them anymore.

    Hanuo was still in the tent, hugging the beautiful slave and venting his animal desires, and was easily captured by Wu Shaoxing.

    Huguan was just one of the Tang army's plans to cut off their retreat. The other passes were either stormed by force, attacked at night, or contacted with slaves, and they cooperated internally and externally to capture them all at once.

    The Tang army¡¯s net on Chi Dezuzan is getting tighter and tighter, and the decisive battle is imminent!  (To be continued. If you want to know about the funeral, please log on to www.qidian.com.
