Chapter 334 (2/2)
At present, the number of fortresses occupied by the Tubo army at the foot of Chiling is up to eight, and the total number of fanhan servants is 100000. These scouts are too low to know the troop deployment of each fortress.
They only know that their number of Rangers has reached 5000. They rotate every day to investigate the power near the clustered fortresses, abduct mountain people and herdsmen as slaves, and make tools for the Tubo army to attack and defend the city.
When they came out today, they found a village hidden in the mountains. The rear had looted the village. They had just stopped by to carry out the investigation task, but they met Wei Ran.
Wei Ran asked how many Tibetan troops were escorting the villagers in the village. He learned that there were only 200, and a total of 500 of them carried out the looting.
After all the information was available, Wei Ran ordered all the prisoners to be killed. Although he was scolded for not keeping his word, he didn't intend to keep his word with the enemy, and he didn't intend to keep any prisoners in this battle at all.
Without any repair, the whole army gathered the captured horses and moved forward all the way.
……
The village that was looted was called Mingyue township. At this time, almost all the young people who dared to resist in the village were killed. The rest were tied together by the Tubo people with ropes and urged to go south.
Among the prisoners, a young man and an old man were whipped by the Tubo people and moved forward slowly. The young man glanced at the Tubo cavalry with hate, but that was all. He didn't have the courage and ability to resist.
”Grandpa, if the village had promised to use the sharp tools you made to defend the city, maybe the village would not be broken by Tubo dogs today.”
The old man bowed his head, shook his head and said, ”on weekdays, these city guarding killers can't sell for money. On the contrary, they will bring trouble to the village. The village head was right in his original decision.”
At this point, the old man shook his head and sighed, ”Alas, forget it. They are all dead. What's the use of talking so much? Grandson, you'd better find a way to survive in the Tibetan camp. ”
The young man clenched his fist. ”The imperial court, the imperial court really didn't take our land as one thing! The Shence army stationed in Longyou withdrew as soon as it said it would. A group of regiments trained to guard and catch, but appointed a straw bag as the general. As a result, when the Tubo army came, they couldn't defend such a dangerous area as Shibao city. I really don't know what they do! ”
The Tubo cavalry riding next to him may think that the young man is too wordy, so he whipped it down. The young man's flexible low body avoided the whip and hurriedly trotted forward for two steps. Seeing that the Tubo cavalry was only threatening themselves and had no intention to continue whipping, he lowered his voice behind him.
”Grandpa, the main forces of Tubo have withdrawn here from Huangshui. The Hexi soldiers and horses from Liangzhou should be very effective. ”
Before the old man could answer, there was a commotion ahead. The leader of this group of Tubo cavalry took a fancy to a young girl among the prisoners and directly captured her on a war horse. He would tear her clothes in front of everyone and humiliate her on the horse.
The girl naturally refused and struggled desperately, but the more she struggled, the more excited the perpetrator was. The girl's family came forward to rob and resist, but they were knocked down by the cavalry leader's men.
They didn't kill because the slaves they captured were all personal property. Killing them would be tantamount to destroying their own property. Naturally, they couldn't do such a stupid thing.
Although the old man was old, his blood was not cold. In a rage, he shouted and stopped. As a result, the Tubo cavalry in front looked back.
Although the young and the old people spoke out because of a moment of righteous anger, they couldn't help shaking when danger came to them.
However, at this time, the Tubo cavalry did not look at their masters and grandchildren, but the panic and urgent sound of horses' hoofs from the rear.
