Mengtu's explanation was in vain. The weather outside Yumenguan is different from Chang'an. It can be twenty or thirty degrees during the day, but at night, it may become more than ten degrees below zero. The temperature difference between morning and evening can be dozens of degrees.
No wonder Lu Dongzan would say such a thing. If there is no place to hide at night, people will freeze to death outside!
But now it's dark, and it's too late to find a place to rest and hide. The only way now is to find Mengtu in front of you. As long as Mengtu is handed over to Master Lu, the big guy can survive.
As for what will happen if Meng Tu is handed over to Lu Dongzan, they don't care about that. All they want is that they can survive.
After finally escaping from the battlefield, it would be so sad to freeze to death outside.
Besides, for today's battle, the responsibility lies with Meng Tu. They killed and injured so many people. This responsibility also needs to be shouldered by others!
Now that Lu Dongzan is in charge, Meng Tu is the best scapegoat, which can not only keep them alive but also take the blame. How could they refuse such a thing!
Mengtu's shouting and cursing were in vain, and the soldiers tied up Mengtu three times.
Seeing the tied up Meng Tu, the Tubo people in the camp seemed to have been ordered to open the gate of the camp.
The people in the camp were not used to Meng Tu and roughly escorted Meng Tu into the camp.
As for other Tubo people, someone also arranged for them to enter the camp and settle properly.
Lu Dongzan will not blame these people. After all, he also needs people. They have been punished. Who will he use?
Although there are 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses in the village, it is impossible for these people to attack Yumen Pass. Only by gathering these defeated troops and horses, plus the people in the camp, there may be hope to continue the attack on Yumen Pass!
Like Meng Tu, he was unwilling to retreat like this, and if he went back like this, Lu Dongzan knew what his fate would be. Only by breaking through Yumen Pass could he have a way to survive, otherwise the big landowners, high priests, and gentry would If you tear him apart, not even Songtsen Gampo will help him!
Therefore, he had to take Yumen Pass. Although he had been defeated twice, he still had a chance and he still had troops. He didn't believe that hundreds of thousands of people couldn't take Yumen Pass.
In the Chinese army's tent, Meng Tu was escorted and stood in the middle, cursing at Lu Dongzan.
Lu Dongzan was not angry, but looked at Meng Tu with a smile. This is what the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. At this time, Lu Dongzan is the winner, while Meng Tu is the prisoner.
Thinking about it before, if he didn't have a group of loyal men, he might have died outside.
And it is not easy to return to the camp and capture the camp. If there were not a group of people loyal to him in the camp, he would be kidnapped as soon as they met, just like Meng Tu is doing now.
Everything is luck, and luck is also a part of success. Lu Dongzan feels that after he has had so much bad luck, it is time for good luck to arrive.
At Yumen Pass, Luo Zhang didn't know what happened to Meng Tu, nor what happened to Meng Tu and Lu Dongzan. At this time, he was worried about the situation of Lao Duwu and Sun Simiao.
So many days have passed, but there is still no news about Sun Simiao and Lao Duwu. This makes him feel excited. He wants to find them, but the people he sent have not heard back yet, and he doesn't know what the situation is now!
On the contrary, Luo Zhang was not too worried about the situation at Yumen Pass. With ten artillery pieces set up at Yumen Pass, it was just wishful thinking for the Tubo people to break through Yumen Pass!
As soon as the artillery fire was fired, it was the beginning of the Tubo people's defeat. In addition to the wooden lumps, even though there were only more than 40,000 people in Yumen Pass, it was simply impossible for the Tubo people to break through Yumen Pass without a sustained army of hundreds of thousands and an attack that was not afraid of life and death!
But how many people in this world are not afraid of life and death? Under the powerful offensive of artillery, everyone will be afraid, whether you are a Tibetan or a Tang person!
The situation in Luo Zhang was fine, but in Dingxiang City it was a bit difficult.
Today's battle in Dingxiang City once again resulted in more than 10,000 casualties. This made it even worse for Li Jing, who already had a small number of troops but had to defend three city walls.
