The decisive battle is imminent.
A ray of morning light broke the silence of the wasteland.
There were dark figures moving at the intersection between the two mountain passes.
Tubo soldiers occupied various important positions on the main battlefield like a tide.
At the same time, a group of falcons flew over the mountain.
An arrow flew from the Tibetan army, and a falcon pierced his body and fell rapidly from the sky.
The falcon fell among the Tubo army. A soldier picked up the falcon and found that there was a piece of cloth wrapped around the falcon's feet.
The strips of cloth were not tied with strings and fell apart naturally.
The general took a look at the piece of cloth and frowned.
As if thinking of something, he looked up at the sky.
Sure enough, the falcons flying over the army brought countless identical strips of cloth. Those strips of cloth were flying all over the sky and had been spread to various camps.
The soldiers picked up the cloth and looked at it, each with a look of horror on their face.
"The princess has been captured!"
"The Tang army will use the princess to sacrifice the flag today!"
As soon as the news came out, the Tibetan army was in turmoil.
Although the Tibetan army tried their best to suppress the news, they did not expect that the news of the princess' capture would be spread by the Tang army in this way before the decisive battle began.
There was turmoil in the Tibetan army.
In the Tang army several hundred meters apart, Bai Song and other generals looked into the distance.
Although I can't see the details, I can see that the enemy's formation speed is obviously much slower.
It seems that this little trick is effective.
This is Li Jing's private behavior.
When the news is released, it is equivalent to announcing it to one's own soldiers.
Before the war started, our side wanted to use the Tibetan Princess as a sacrificial flag.
Bai Song didn't know about it in advance and seemed very unhappy, but the other party was an elder and didn't dare to say anything more.
And things have already happened and cannot be changed.
The Tang army also attacked in full force, seizing the time to set up their formations and prepare for the attack.
Li Jing looked at Bai Song's stern expression and whispered: "If it's difficult for you to make a choice, then I'll help you. I'm afraid that you will ruin your reputation for a lifetime because of a woman."
Bai Song nodded. Li Jing had already put enough pressure on him. All that was left was to see how Bai Song fulfilled his promise.
Yellow sand filled the sky, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were submerged in the yellow sand, standing still like terracotta warriors and horses.
A chilling atmosphere permeated both camps, making even breathing extremely difficult.
Bai Song was on horseback in front, wearing golden armor, and his heavy helmet had blocked half of his sight.
But he still drove his horse slowly past the formation, looking at the enemy camp in front of him that was also hidden in the yellow sand, and felt the weight of this battle.
Bai Song thought a lot last night, wondering what kind of poems he should use to awaken the fighting spirit of the soldiers?
A song of righteousness?
Azolla?
After much deliberation, it was difficult to find a poem that could express my mood at this moment.
Arriving in front of the formation, I looked at the soldiers' dust-stained bodies and their dull and heartless faces.
They acted strong, but they could not hide the fear in their hearts.
People are going to die today, many people are going to die.
But many people had to die.
"In this battle, I hope that all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will get rid of utilitarianism. Everyone knows that we have fought this battle for so long and will get nothing. We can't make money, grab food, and win prostitutes! Then we will fight desperately What else? Look back, look at Liangzhou City, which still has its shadow under the mist, and think about Chang'an and Jiangnan thousands of miles away. What a rich and prosperous land it is?
In the decades since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there have been constant wars and bloodshed every year. Today's prosperous Tang Dynasty was created by us. We already have money, food, and women. This is the last turbulent place in the Tang Dynasty. These barbarians want to take away everything we have now! This time, we are truly fighting for justice and to preserve a peaceful and prosperous age that belongs to everyone. As long as we win this battle, there will be no foreign enemies coming to cause trouble! All of us can retire and return home. Win this battle and you will never have to fight again!
I know that many people will die today, but your names are left in the military camp. Those who died to protect their homeland were all heroes of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty will not treat heroes' families harshly. If the court cannot manage it well, I, Bai Song, will take care of it! I believe everyone knows that I, Bai Song, don’t earn much, but I have enough money! As for your family, I will take care of their food and clothing for the rest of their lives. I dare to make this promise just because I am not afraid of death and I will not die! If there are any brothers who lack courage and are weak-minded, follow me. If there are arrows, I will block them. If there are formations, I will charge them. If there are enemies, I will kill them!
Soldiers, follow me and charge! "
Bai Song paused and pointed his sword at the enemy formation. The army surged into the sky with shouts and dust rising again.
Li Jing's expression changed, and the expressions of the other soldiers also changed drastically.
At this moment, it was not time to charge, but Bai Song rushed out one by one.
Bai Song's plan was extremely simple, just to skip all the procedures and start the war directly, so Li Jing would not have time to kill the princess and sacrifice the flag.
Bai Song's move was very reckless.
But recklessness is also equivalent to suddenness for the enemy.
The arrow had already left the string and had to be fired. The generals of each department ordered the entire army to attack.
On the other side's battlefield, facing the army that surged in like a flood, they also used the fastest speed to meet the enemy.
With the sound of several cannons, sand and gravel filled the sky more than ten meters away from Bai Song. The huge impact almost overturned the horse.
At the same time, a powerful crossbow flew in front of him.
Bai Song stretched out his hand and grasped the arrow in his hand. He looked back at the large army ten or twenty meters away and raised the arrow in his hand.
The morale of the soldiers was high, and a pair of cavalry came in hot pursuit.
"General, are you desperate for your life?"
The generals at the rear saw Bai Song taking the lead, and facing an army of tens of thousands of people, they actually penetrated deeply one by one.
Veterans who have experienced more than ten years of war have never seen such bravery.
The Tubo princess, who was tied up in the back, knew that this man would not die so easily.
But will he die?
In such a battle, even a god would probably die.
But he still rushed forward without fear of death.
for what?
Princess Tubo was a little moved. She felt that she didn't have that much energy to let Bai Song protect herself regardless of her own danger.
But with the facts before us, what other explanation is there?
In the camp of the Tubo army, the notes were scattered on the ground. A man with half a face full of abscesses rode on horseback in the center of the camp and crumpled the notes into a ball.
All the Tubo soldiers saw the Tang generals rushing in front of the formation.
That golden armor was so dazzling, all the arrows flew towards him.
Soon, the horse under him could no longer hold up, and he fell to the ground.
Some people in the Tubo camp laughed and shouted to seize the enemy general.
But he saw the golden armor shoot an arrow on the ground. The arrow penetrated all layers of barriers and instantly shot down the military flag next to the man.
The voices of all the jeering soldiers suddenly stopped. The crossbow in the golden armor's hand was almost the same as the strong bow, but its power and speed were completely different. What kind of object was it?
