When Bai Song heard this number, his expression changed.
In this way, Xiaoqing killed five thousand people alone.
No, many of the 3,000 people in the Third West Camp should be attributed to Xiao Qing.
A grandmaster like Xiao Qing can play a much greater role on the battlefield than ordinary grandmasters.
Other masters use their true energy to kill people, but once they use their true energy to kill someone, it will cause a catastrophe.
The master must exercise restraint and not dare to go all out.
But Xiaoqing is different. She can control poisonous snakes and use poison.
Killing people in this way does not require much use of true energy, but the lethality is several times that of ordinary masters.
Thinking about it this way, the Bai Song army has an extra nuclear weapon.
If they had known that Xiao Qing could play such a huge role on the battlefield, they wouldn't have had to spend so much time defending.
This battle directly caused the enemy to abandon their formation and flee. It seemed that they had given up their blockade.
An unexpected victory can be said to have completely disrupted Bai Song's overall plan.
The question before them is whether to stick to it or to leave?
Without news from the outside world, the lone army of Bai Song Dynasty was always blind. It did not know how the external war situation would change, so it could only rely on feeling.
The purpose of their party's visit here was to attack Jinyuanmen. If they followed the initial strategic plan, they would directly attack by force.
But Bai Song already knew that there was a mountain road here that could go directly over the mountain and around to the back of Jinyuan Gate. The only difficulty was that the transportation of Shenwu cannons and various supplies would be difficult.
Bai Song and Hou Junji discussed it and decided to make a dangerous move. The army marched over the mountain and attacked Jinyuan Gate from the rear.
As for the transportation of the Shenwu cannon, it can be dismantled and transported up bit by bit through the ropeway. Although it is more time-consuming, it is not impossible.
The enemy troops have retreated and are definitely still gathering and reorganizing. This time just gives the Bai Song army an opportunity to cross the mountain.
A mighty mountain climbing operation began.
The temporary mountain road is very dangerous and difficult to walk. If you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff and be shattered.
The army killed no one when they killed the enemy, but they lost nearly a hundred people in the process of climbing over the mountain, which made Bai Song heartbroken.
But taking risks will definitely pay off.
The army climbed over the top of the mountain and reached the foot of the Himalayas. After looking at the flat plains of the plateau, their vision suddenly became clear.
Eight thousand troops gathered together are like a speck of dust on the high loess slopes. They can go anywhere in the southeast, northwest, and the sky is huge. They can show their fists everywhere.
Hou Junji had always had something in mind, which was the city of Luoshu, thousands of miles away in the southwest.
"General, the Tubo Kingdom has used all the strength of the whole country in this battle. At this time, the rear of the Tubo Kingdom must be empty. If our army can directly penetrate into the Luoshou City and directly capture their base camp, it will be an unparalleled feat. Wonderful feat."
Bai Song smiled after hearing this and pointed to the endless mountains ahead: "These mountain roads in front of us can consume all our remaining soldiers. How many of us died on such a small hillside?"
When Hou Junji heard this, he sighed and nodded: "Yeah, it would be great if it was always like this. But even if you don't attack some cities, it must be easy to attack Jinyuanmen. The enemy would never dream of it. To think we’d pop up from behind.”
Bai Song frowned and said seriously: "It's not difficult to attack Jinyuan Gate. What's difficult is what happens after we knock down Jinyuan Gate? It's easier to attack the city than to defend it... Once we capture Jinyuan Gate, we will become The thorn in the side of the Tubo Kingdom will be used by the Tubo Army from all directions. How long can the sacred cannon be defended? Even if the enemy cannot survive the attack of the sacred cannon, the elixir will be used up. A lone army like us has no backup. .”
Hou Junji frowned, he also knew the difficulty now.
They could capture the Jinyuan Gate. If Tubo counterattacked regardless of the cost, it would be a situation that the Tang Dynasty would be happy to see. The pressure on the front line will inevitably decrease, and Datang will be able to regain its lost ground. But their unit is likely to be wiped out.
Sacrifice yourself for the country's victory?
Hou Junji suddenly said: "We, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, are not greedy for life and afraid of death. For the sake of the overall situation, we can hold on for as long as we can!"
Bai Song glanced at Hou Junji in surprise. He could see firmness and determination in his eyes. This was not just talk.
Hou Junji could sacrifice his life for the country, but Bai Song himself could not do it.
He also brought two wives... four wives, how could he push himself into a desperate situation?
"General Hou, we are far from reaching the end of the road. The last time we came here, we found a Tubo princess in Zhilu Town. She seems to have a high status in the Tubo country."
"Princess Tubo?" Hou Junji was a little surprised.
"What? What has General Hou heard of?"
"It is rumored that the Tubo king only has one daughter. She has been regarded as the apple of his eye since she was a child and is very favored."
"The only seedling in the royal family?" Bai Song asked in surprise.
"Yes! That Songtsen Gampo himself was the number one master in the Tubo Kingdom. It seems that because of some martial arts he practiced, he was infertile. He only had one daughter, the princess."
"That's easy to handle. If we capture the princess as a hostage, will we be able to keep the Jinyuan Gate safe?"
Hou Junji smiled: "If the little princess can be captured as a hostage, let alone guarding the Jinyuan Gate, it is not impossible for Songtsen Gampo to immediately order the withdrawal of the troops. But this is almost impossible, because the Tubo Princess is surrounded by They are protected by masters all year round. They are the real masters of the Tubo Kingdom. Even the masters of the martial arts in the Central Plains are not their opponents. To capture the Tubo Princess, let alone whether it can be found in the vast plateau, even if it is found, it is very rare. Let’s start.”
Suddenly, Xiaoqing walked up and said, "Master, I have confidence."
After the first battle, Xiao Qing became more confident. Recalling the moment when he had a simple fight with the archmage, he felt that although the opponent was powerful, he had no chance of winning.
Besides, the mission was to capture the princess, not a fight to the death, so she felt even more confident.
Hou Junji looked at Xiaoqing and reminded her kindly: "Just finding the princess is like finding a needle in a haystack. The last time we met her in Zhilu Town, the next time we met her I don't know where."
Bai Song thought carefully, gently raised Xiaoqing's chin, and said seriously: "Does Princess Tubo still have a fetish for women?"
Hou Junji was stunned: "Does the general even know this? I still agree with what the Tubo envoy said. Although the Tubo princess is a woman, she has the quirk of being a womanizer."
"Xiaoqing, with your figure and eyes, you have an exotic look. If you sacrifice your appearance and pretend to be a dancer from the Western Regions, can you seduce that princess to sacrifice yourself?"
Xiao Qing frowned and seemed unhappy, but this was the master's request, and she could only obey.
Hou Junji asked: "General, really want to do this?"
"How about leaving the task of attacking Jinyuan Gate to General Hou?"
