Love Affairs in Chang’an Chapter 495: Heaven descends from the gods, the fire and the Phoenix burns the city

lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Changan Fengliu!

From Qingrabara near Dafeichuan, all the way to the northwest, the soldiers of the Tang Army felt like they were a step closer to hell.

The thin air, like the flames of purgatory, tortured every Tang army officer, including Qin Mubai.

Therefore, the army had to stop and go, so that everyone could gradually adapt to this geographical environment. Qin Mubai even thought about spending a year or two on this plateau to train all the soldiers into authentic "locals" before going to a decisive battle with Garqin Mausoleum.

But this is obviously unrealistic. The army is very fast, and the Tubo dynasty, which has just been hit hard by Hou Junji, is desperately gathering its last vitality, and the Garqin Mausoleum is trying its best to increase its troops and expand its troops.

Along the way, the Guanxi Army encountered almost no resistance. The Tubo tribesmen, livestock, and horses were almost completely withdrawn along the way, and there were no particles in the granary. Therefore, the more you take a step on the plateau, the more difficult it is for the Kansai Army to make a point.

Furthermore, the winter on the plateau is always extremely long and fierce. Although it is in the middle of summer, it may not be two months before the storm will hit.

If it is delayed until then, it will definitely be a disaster for the Kansai Army!

Opening the bow without turning back the arrow, even if it is difficult and dangerous, today's Qin Mubai and the Guanxi Army can only bite their teeth and brazen their scalp, advancing towards these cities.

One and a half months later, the sunlight on the plateau was slanting and the weather was extremely hot.

Xue Rengui pioneered one part and led his army to the Pamoli Grassland, the place where Hou Junji and Garqin Mausoleum fought in the past.

Here, it is only more than ten miles away from the Royal City of Loges.

Xue Rengui quickly set up a defensive position to prevent the Garqin Mausoleum from taking advantage of the Tang's unsteady foothold. At the same time, the news was reported to Qin Mubai, the main force behind, to report the situation.

At night, the temperature dropped sharply again. Compared with the extreme heat during the day, it was almost a double sky. The tired Xue Rengui and his subordinates did not dare to relax their vigilance. The Xula camp ambushes soldiers outside to prevent the Tubo from attacking at night.

Sure enough, the army had just heard the second watch, and countless cavalry soldiers came from the northwest, rockets were flying all over the sky, and fireworks suddenly burst into the sky in the Tang military camp.

When the Tubo who was in the attack had just killed in front of the camp, Xue Rengui led the army to fight out and encircled the Tubo. The Tubo people were caught off guard and defeated. In the middle of the night of the fierce battle, Xue Rengui not only repelled the enemy, but also led his army to behead more than 3,000 and won the victory.

From then on, the Tubo people did not dare to rob the camp again.

Seven days later, Qin Mubai led a 70,000 main force composed of the elite horsemen of the Yi Mansion and arrived in Pamoli. In the case of poor military merit, remember Xue Rengui's contribution.

Qin Mubai ordered the rectification of soldiers and horses, first based on the defensive, waiting for the news of the other six soldiers and horses.

At the same time, waiting for Pang Fei's logistics troops stationed in the Mesopotamia to send the most important combat equipment-Shenwu Cannon!

Garqin Mausoleum is really calm. As early as before the Tang army came, he imitated the ancient warfare of the Central Plains and sent out a large number of civilians and troops to dig a large gap more than ten meters wide in front of the cities, and then introduced icebergs and snowmelt water as a moat. Unless a boat is used or a suspension bridge is released from some of the royal cities, this moat is extremely difficult to cross.

Between the city wall and the moat, the Garqin Mausoleum used the method of "pile of stones and then covered with iron shield armor" to build more than three hundred watch towers, arrow towers, and beacon towers. There was hardly any before the royal city. Blind spots of vision, and these military buildings have also become the strongest fortresses of the royal city.

From the distance between the moat and the wall of the royal city and these iron stone towers, it can be seen that the Garqin Mausoleum has considered the Tang army’s weapon of siege, the Shenwu Cannon. These towers and arrow towers are both strong and fireproof, and they are not afraid of the traditional long-range fire arrows of the Tang army. Even the Shenwu cannon, fired from such a long distance, can exert its power greatly reduced. Moreover, even if it does not count the cost of lighting the shells, it is estimated that it will be difficult to flatten this circle of turtle shell-like arrow tower defenses, let alone bombing the city gates.

The defense of the king's city is so strict that it is heinous enough to be worthy of the four words "as solid as golden soup".

Garqin Mausoleum is indeed a master of both offense and defense.

After robbing a battalion before, Garqin Mausoleum seemed to be just a tentative attempt to test the strength of the Kwansi Army after a long journey. Seeing the soldiers approaching the city now, he stayed still. As if he was also like Qin Mubai, waiting for the other soldiers and horses to gather together for a straightforward battle.

The two armies each garrisoned the camp and the city, and they faced each other for half a month without moving a single soldier.

Soon, the rest of the people sent military reports to Qin Mubai. Except for Pang Fei's troops who stayed behind in the Mesopotamia, the other five men and horses all successfully conquered the military key areas designated by Qin Mubai for them, and all led their troops to advance toward the royal cities.

Tianluodiwang is already slowly tightening the network port.

At this moment, Garqin Mausoleum is like a tiger shark that has fallen into a snare. Not only is it not hurried or struggling, but it is still not moving. As if waiting for the fisherman to collect the net, he would launch a fatal counterattack.

More than 300,000 Tubo soldiers and horses are all stationed in the three large camps inside and outside the royal city, forming the horn defense system of the Iron Triangle. There are also nearly 400,000 civilians in the royal city. In the whole city of Luozhe, the last Qi of Tubo gathered.

Qin Mubai summoned all the army generals to discuss the strategy of breaking the city.

"There are very few people who are as calm as Garqin Ling." The old general Li Daliang said, "I have to admit that this kid is a bit general. Staying still to defend instead of offensive is simply trying to kill us!"

"He is waiting for the arrival of winter." Qin Mubai said, "Although it's not just the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, but the weather is obviously getting cooler. On this strange plateau, It will snow in a month or two. By that time, our army will be quite disadvantaged!"

"If it is a regular battle, we can completely besiege and not attack. After the internal chaos or the lack of food and water, we will go to the urn to catch turtles." Li Junxian shook his head, "but the situation is just the opposite. Tubo is concentrated. In the imperial city, we are not afraid to cut off the supply in a short time. On the contrary, if it continues to be consumed, it will be us who cut off the supply. In addition, our army is totally unable to adapt when the winter snow falls. If Garqin Tomb fights back again... he is indeed a cunning and ruthless opponent, making full use of the right time and place!"

"So, we can only attack the city hard?" The generals said together.

Qin Mubai furrowed his eyebrows in deep thought for a moment, "Wait another ten days!-the last ten days!"

"What is the marshal waiting for?" the generals asked in confusion.

The scene in front of me, even if it is a day, is very precious. Among other things, a day’s time is just astronomical figures for 400,000 horses. The rear has to transport grain and grass to these cities, and it will cost more than three times more than the previous supplies!

"When the time comes, you will know." Qin Mubai took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, with a strange smile on his face, he said to the generals, "Our army is coming from far away, very tired. In ten days, the generals will be able to reorganize their soldiers and horses to replenish their energy for a decisive battle. During this period of time, our army must not arbitrarily move a single soldier, and at the same time, we must strictly guard against the enemy’s robbery."

"Nuo!——" Although Qin Mubai did not understand why Qin Mubai did this, the general order had been issued, and the generals had to receive the general order, and then returned to the camp.

A few days of rest and recuperation are invaluable for the current Kansai Army. Many soldiers with strong altitude sickness gradually recovered their health and adapted. The Garqin Mausoleum has still not sent a single soldier to leave the royal city.

The other five soldiers and horses have advanced to the vicinity of the King City. The distance between each unit is only a few miles. The sound of the horns can be heard from each other, and everyone knows that they are together.

Seven days later, the Shenwu artillery and more than seventy vehicles and five-fingered thunder that made Qin Mubai look through his eyes finally arrived in Pamoli!

Qin Shi, the "dog slave" who is most trusted by Qin Mubai, was once again ordered in danger, and together with many Iron Valley craftsmen, he accepted a secret mission from Qin Mubai.

In two days, more than one hundred craftsmen made more than six hundred flying kites according to the drawings given by Qin Mubai!

It's a kite!

It's just that this kind of kite is different from the kite that the general folks use to play. It has three sturdy armor-piercing arrows as the main backbone, with tough wood as the dividing bones, and the vine cloth of the marching tent as its body. Its wings are more than one foot (three meters) wide, and the overall shape is streamlined swallow.

After completion, Qin Mubai invited the generals to the wilderness more than 30 miles behind the camp to test in public.

The generals don’t know the use of these things, Qin Mubai smiled and said: “Garqin Mausoleum has acted like a tortoise. This is beyond my expectation. These cities are as good as gold. It is very likely that even if we can barely attack, our army will suffer extremely serious losses. Then, we have to blast out the Garqin Mausoleum and fight with it again!"

"Break out more?" The generals asked puzzledly, "Just rely on these-Fei Yuan?"

"Of course." Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously, "Actually, I designed these things a long time ago, and I have done a few experiments, and it feels okay. In the past few days, I let the military craftsmen rush to produce them. I have made a batch, I hope it can come in handy-Qin Shi!"

"The villain is here!" Qin picked it up and responded.

"Try to see the generals."

"Yes!"

Qin Shi and several craftsmen and soldiers immediately started their hands. First, they brought out a special "Chuangzi Artillery Crossbow" made by Tiegu-this is what Qin Mubai has seen in the history books and rebuilt the Song Dynasty Chuangzi crossbow. What.

Chuangzi crossbow is the pinnacle of crossbow and arrow weapons. At first glance, it looks like a loom, but on the wooden frame is not a weaving machine, but three iron bows!

This kind of bed crossbow requires ten people to turn the two axles on both sides to open it, and the range can reach a terrifying 1500 meters! On the eve of the Song Liao Tanyuan alliance, the Khitan general Xiao Dalan was hit by the crossbow arrow of the bed and died, causing the morale of the Qidan to be greatly reduced.

It's just that the Song Dynasty Chuangzi crossbow shot iron-headed crossbows, and Qin Mubai asked Tiegu's Chuangzi artillery crossbow to shoot out a powerful gunpowder blasting arrow with five-fingered thunder!

Now that this crossbow is being transformed, even Qin Mubai doesn't know whether it can exert its due power.

Qin Shi has already started.

The huge flying kite was placed on the crossbow stand instead of the thick artillery crossbow. According to Qin Mubai’s own experiment and design optimization, these bed crossbows used to use three-sided iron tire bows as strings, but now only use two-sided **** hybrid bows with reduced elasticity. Otherwise, the flying kite will be torn by the instantaneous strong air backlash. Fragments.

Loading is complete. Qin Shi looked at Qin Mubai, who nodded.

"Launch!

The strings sound!

The big flying kite shaped like a house swallow flies up into the sky like a spur of lightning, then slides forward smoothly, falling several miles away!

This distance has greatly exceeded the effective range of the Shenwu Cannon. Compared with the current distance between the Guanxi Army's camp and the Tubo King City, it is roughly the same!

"Successful!!!" Qin Mubai laughed with his palms!

"We understand!" The generals also realized it suddenly, and laughed, "If these flying kites are tied to the five-finger gods, they can fly into the Tubo King City in the Kansai Army camp a few miles away! At that time, no matter how solid the walls, towers and guards outside the king's city are, let's take out his heart first!"

Qin Mubai nodded, and said: "There is only one problem in this. Does the divine thunder detonate by impact or ignite the fuse first? If fuse is used, how long should it take?—— Qin Shi, I'll leave this big trouble to you!"

"The villain takes his orders! The villain immediately sets out to test a hundred times, and within three days, he will give his life to his master!" Qin Shi solemnly promised.

"Okay!" Qin Mubai shouted, "Three days later, the six battalions attacked at the same time. But it was not soldiers and horses attacking the city-but the gods descending from the sky, the fire and the Phoenix burning the city!"

"Haha, good!!" The generals laughed all at once!

Qin Mu took a sigh of relief and secretly said: "Garqin Mausoleum, you are indeed the pinnacle of military masters in this era. I know that I will not be able to compare with you in another ten or eight years of cultivation. You have also seen it before. My Shenwu artillery, but-if I am not a little bit smarter than you, and it is not in vain, I come from more than a thousand years later? ... The power and range of these Shenwu artillery is far from enough to hit you. I can’t build any Scud missiles in a short period of time. However, I always know how to use catapult and gliding to increase the range and carry out airdrop bombing! —— Once, our Eighth Route Army killed it like this The bunker of Little Japan and the Puppet Army. When I was in the military academy, there were so many patriotic anti-Japanese films that weren’t for nothing!"

"Garqin Mausoleum, you think you are unlucky!"

Three days later, late at night.

Suddenly the horns sounded in the Tang Army Camp, which alarmed the night sky of the plateau.

There were countless lights on the towers of the city that had been waiting for them, and the gongs rang!

"The Tang Army has attacked the city!!!"

The whole king city was in an uproar, and he woke up from his deep sleep in an instant!

The strange thing is that the Tubo people did not see the soldiers of the Tang army, but the sharp-eyed people. They saw countless "unidentified flying objects" in the night sky illuminated by the torches.

"What...what is that?" The Tubo soldiers pointed in the air and cried out in fear.

The large-scale "UFOs", like monsters and ghosts walking through the clouds, flew into the sky above the royal city, and then began to fall.

In an instant—"Boom, rumble!!"

Flowers bloomed everywhere, explosions burst into flames!

The lead design of the genius Qin Shi is as accurate as a computer!

Look in these cities and suddenly become purgatory! !

……

Looking at the fire in the distant city, the smoke filled the sky, and the panicked people shouted the sound of the horsemen clamoring in the night sky, Qin Mubai's face was as silent as water.

"Mr. Yuan Tiangang, the demon star in your mouth has made a lot of killings." He smiled indifferently and bitterly, and said to himself, "The Magic Moon Valley, Dafeichuan, and Golmud were buried in water for more than 20 years. Ten thousand. There are three hundred thousand troops and four hundred thousand civilians in these king cities. Today’s trouble, I don’t know how many people will die... Well! This is the end of the matter, and the great sins are also borne! War is war, or you die. I live—Garqin Mausoleum, I don’t believe you can hide in a turtle shell! Your iron tortoise shell doesn’t work anymore in front of me. Get out of here and fight to the death!"
