There are only 80,000 kilograms of five-finger divine thunder, which is far from what Qin Mubai needs. Not to mention 80,000 kilograms of mediocre black powder, even 80,000 kilograms of high-quality TNT may not be enough.
The other party is an army of 300,000 people!
Standing at the top of Huanyue Valley, Qin Mubai looked down at the bottom of the valley. The clouds and mist were lingering, and if it hadn't been for an extremely sunny day, I wouldn't have been able to see the bottom of the valley; even if I could see it, the people and cars would be like ants.
It is indeed a perfect place for an ambush.
However, with the experience and common sense of veteran military strategists like Gar Qinling, how could they not have thought that it would be easy to be ambushed here? At that time, with only a little investigation, the ambush will be exposed, and the military plan he has worked so hard for so long will be ruined.
By then, everything will really be over!
"what to do?"
These three words suddenly appeared in Qin Mubai's mind. The strong sense of oppression and power made him breathless.
After all the mechanisms were exhausted, one layer was finally revealed... Qin Mubai did not expect that Tiegu could only provide so little explosive. I also blame myself for not paying enough attention to Tiegu in the past two years.
Qin Shi was not far behind him, taking an ax to chop down a tree and preparing to build a small hut on the top of the valley to provide shelter from the sun and rain.
The sound of chopping and chiseling came one after another, followed immediately by the sound of trees falling down.
Qin Mubai looked back inadvertently and saw that Qin Shi was chopping down a small poplar tree as wide as a bowl, using an ax to cut off the branches and leaves, and spreading the branches and leaves on the roof of the small thatched house that had been built.
With a sudden movement in his heart, Qin Mubai hurriedly walked over there.
"Qin Shi, please stop!" Qin Mubai called.
"What's wrong, Master?" Qin Shi stopped and asked in confusion.
"Give me the ax." Qin Mubai stretched out his hand.
Qin Shi gave him the ax in confusion, still mumbling, "Such menial work can be done by the villain, the master does not have to do it himself..."
Qin Mubai ignored him, took the ax and walked to the stump of the small willow tree that had just been chopped down. He looked at the axe, then at the newly cut ax marks, and suddenly laughed loudly: "Yes! Yes!" There’s a way!”
"Master, what's wrong?" Qin Shi said in surprise.
"Qin Shi, you are really a blessed general, haha!! I have a way! - Go, go down the mountain, call Lu Youhai, and tell him that I have a way to bury explosives!" Qin Mu Bai said excitedly.
Qin Shi was surprised. All this time, he had rarely seen his master as excited as he was now. So he quickly agreed and immediately set off to run down the mountain.
"Gar Qin Ling!" Qin Mubai held the ax tightly and said with serious eyes, "Even if your army is invincible in the world, it can't beat the power of nature! Just let me do it for you. A spectacular sky burial!"
Western Region, outside the royal city of Gaochang.
Xue Rengui and Ashina Xuelian led 50,000 Han Hui cavalry and stood in formation.
White scarves and lowered flags were placed all over the royal city, and the city gate slowly opened. The new king of Gaochang, Qu Zhisheng, with naked upper body, tied himself up with five flowers, walked out, and walked to the front of the army alone.
No one spoke.
However, all the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army glared at him angrily, and their endless anger spread crazily. Even the war horses felt the strong murderous intent, and they scratched their hooves restlessly and snorted.
Xue Lian was secretly surprised: Why did Tang Jun become so excited and restless as soon as he stepped onto the ground in Gaochang, with murderous looks in his eyes? Treating the King of Gaochang who had bound himself out of the city to surrender before them, they could almost eat his flesh!
Qu Zhisheng did not dare to raise his eyes to look at Xue Rengui and other Tang army soldiers in front of him. He had already declared his determination. When he walked to the front of the formation, he knelt down on the ground and put on an attitude of being ready to kill. Mode.
"kill him!!!"
"Skinned and cramped! Cut into pieces by five horses!"
"That's too cheap for him!"
"One bite at a time, bite him to death!"
"Chop it into pieces and throw it up the mountain to feed the wild wolves!"
…
The anger of the Tang Army soldiers finally broke out uncontrollably!
Qu Zhisheng was already on the verge of collapse. When he heard these roars that were like hurricanes and tsunamis, he was finally so frightened that he could no longer kneel. He fell to the side and his eyes turned white on the spot.
"ah?"
"Are you scared to death?!"
Xue Rengui had been silent all the time. Seeing this scene, he sighed and said, "Come, come and have a look."
The two pawns dismounted and jumped forward to check. Then they kicked his body angrily several times and shouted, "I'm really scared to death! You son of a bitch took advantage of him!"
"That's all, he's just a puppet. Death is like a lamp going out, spare him!" Xue Rengui said, "It's a small country, and we can't help ourselves. Brothers, it's hateful that Qu Zhisheng is capricious and helps others do evil, but we The real enemy is not him.”
"That's what General Xue said! Our real enemies are the Turkic Beiting and the Tubo people!" the soldiers of the Tang Army said one after another.
At this time, another group of cavalry rushed out of the city, all disguised as Turks. One of the leaders came forward and saluted Xue Rengui and said: "General Xue, the young Qu Zhisheng family has been captured. The last general Bashmi has been ordered by my Khan and has led the army according to the previous agreement with General Xue. Twenty thousand soldiers and horses captured Gaochang, and now the property is back to its original owner!"
After that, he presented King Gaochang's seal, field records, mouth and other items.
"Thank you, General Bahmi." Xue Rengui, the novice, took it and sighed with emotion!
A few months ago, these things were taken over from Qin Shubao's Anxi Governor's Mansion; now, after several twists and turns, they are in the hands of Xue Rengui!
The group of Turks in front of them are the troops from the South Court of the Western Turks.
The two tribunals of the Western Turks, the North and the South, had feuds and feuds, and had always been at odds with each other. They fought against each other and suffered from civil strife. When Qin Shubao was here before, Nanting had made peace with the Tang Dynasty and was eager to use the power of the Tang Dynasty to fight against the powerful Beiting. Now that Xue Rengui has left and returned, Beiting, who wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, in order to show his sincerity in "repairing with the Tang Dynasty", withdrew his troops from Gaochang, which was taken away from Qin Shubao.
In this way, Gao Changguo became a scapegoat and a scapegoat that his father and mother did not want.
Nanting took the opportunity to send general Bashimi and led 20,000 elite troops to capture Gaochang. The property was returned to the original owner and presented to Xue Rengui, just like a "warrant of surrender".
"General Xue, when will you raise your troops and rush to Puchanghai?" Nanting General Bathimi said, "Our army's 20,000 cavalry have been fully equipped, and there are more than 10,000 troops from Gaochang who can be used to attack first. 30,000 horses, armored soldiers We have plenty of provisions and can set off immediately as soon as General Xue gives the order!"
Xue Lian beside Xue Rengui was secretly surprised and speechless: This journey is all good things! First, there was the warm hospitality and secret promise of surrender from the Hulu tribe, and now there are several big gifts from Nan Ting! - A city in Gaochang was surrendered, one enemy was killed, 30,000 soldiers and horses were provided with countless food and fodder! As a result, Xue Rengui has close to 100,000 troops under his command!
This is nearly ten times the number of defeated soldiers he had left when he fled in the vast grassland!
Xue Rengui seemed not to have heard Basimi's words, but looked at the Gaochang Royal City in front of him in silence, his eyes slightly narrowed and his teeth clenched.
The Turkic generals were puzzled and followed Xue Rengui's eyes in confusion, looking back at the royal city.
"Nothing strange? What's going on?"
All the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army were also speechless. The anger just now has gradually subsided, replaced by wordless silence and sadness spreading in the bottom of my heart.
"Commanders of the Western Expeditionary Army, all dismount!" Xue Rengui suddenly shouted. All the Tang army officers and soldiers dismounted together.
Walking slowly, Xue Rengui led more than 10,000 Tang army soldiers to the gate of Gaochang King's City.
The Turks and Uighurs all looked at the Tang army soldiers in surprise, wondering what they meant.
Xue Rengui knelt down on one knee facing the royal city. All the Tang army officers and soldiers knelt down together.
"Commander, the guilty general Xue Li is back..."
"Commander—" there was a cry, and all the soldiers of the Tang Army burst into tears.
"I was supposed to go to the city to pay homage to the commander-in-chief, and to go to the commander-in-chief's soul to apologize in person. However, the military situation in Lanzhou was so fierce that the guilty general did not dare to delay for even a moment. He was about to leave again..." Xue Rengui said while biting tightly. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to control his emotions, but his eye circles were still red.
"When we look back... General Sin will come to Gaochang to pay homage to the Marshal with him again!"
"Brothers, get up!"
The officers and soldiers of the Tang army stood up together, all sad and covering their faces with their sleeves.
"Listen to the general's orders!"
"General's order -" Xue Rengui roared in a deep voice, "Order, General Bashimi's troops and the Gaochang Allied Forces are the vanguard. This general will control the central army, and the Uighur troops led by Ashina Xuelian will be the rear army! Gallop at full speed, towards Puchanghai —March!”
Ashina Blood Lotus held the horse's rein tightly and sat on the horse in silence for a long time.
Looking at this group of sad and passionate men of the Tang Dynasty, she felt the compassion and excitement that touched her heart and soul.
"In this world, there is nothing more touching than a man's tears... Qin Mubai, I don't know why Brother Xue respects you so much; I don't know what makes so many bloody men turn you into The Qin family father and son are considered flesh and blood compatriots... I believe I will see you soon, so don't let me down!"
Golmud, Kunlun Snow Mountain.
Pang Fei lay on the ground, carrying two large explosive bags on his back, using his limbs together, crawling forward with difficulty on the smooth ice.
Behind him, followed closely by a Snow Eagle Army sergeant, lying on the ground like him, crawling forward slowly and with difficulty. Further behind, there is another snow sculpture army; they rise up like a string of beads.
The two mountains are sandwiched between each other, and under the valley is the bottomless and roaring Golmud River. There is a winding path on the mountainside that hugs the mountain wall and is only four or five feet wide. It can only be walked by a single person. If you are not careful, you may be knocked down the valley and into the torrent of the Golmud River!
Local people call it "one step of natural danger". It is said that this place is often used to test the piety of people who go to Kunlun Mountain to practice. Those who are not sincere will fall into the deep valley. Only those who are wholeheartedly good can bond with immortals and Buddhas and finally reach heaven.
"Haha! What the hell, I don't care about being associated with an immortal!" Pang Fei gasped and laughed loudly as he climbed, "Brothers, work harder, climb over this mountainside, we can break the Gar Qin Ling’s roots destroyed his lair in one fell swoop!”
"Okay! -" A group of men who were about to freeze to death replied as they struggled to cheer up.
"Never take a nap!" If you fall asleep, you will never wake up again.
"Don't stop! Climb hard!" If you stop, you will freeze to death. You will be frozen on this narrow glacier trail and cannot be pried off.
"Ah-" Suddenly there was a shrill scream, and someone fell into the river.
"Don't look! Don't look down - keep climbing!!!" Pang Fei shouted hysterically.
"Yes -" the soldiers replied hysterically.
There were less than two hundred people left. They all lay on the ice, forming a long line of ants, crawling forward with difficulty...
Separated by a mountain is the Golmud Camp, the largest military region of Tubo.
The company camp is hundreds of miles away and is heavily guarded; there is countless food and grass piled up like a mountain.
On the plateau, the climate is extremely harsh and unusual, and foreigners cannot adapt to it. Golmud is known as the "top of the world". Its harsh weather and dangerous geographical location are simply synonymous with insurmountable and invincible. In order to keep the grain road open, the Garqin Mausoleum also deployed layers of sentries along the front line from Golmud to Qingluoyuan and was heavily guarded. As for Golmud, his base base, even though the possibility of being attacked was extremely slim, he did not relax at all and sent nearly 30,000 troops to guard the camp and food and grass.
After climbing for a whole day and night, Pang Fei and others could only move forward five or six miles. This section of the mountain road, which was less than ten miles long, claimed the lives of more than a hundred Snow Eagle Army soldiers.
When Pang Fei finally stood up straight and looked up at the Golmud camp of the Tibetan people, there were only thirty-five brothers left beside him.
When we set out from Qinghai Lake, there were a sufficient number of 500 people; now, less than one-tenth remains.
"Brothers, it's already a miracle that we can appear here." Pang Fei used his remaining strength to pant and said, "In front of you is the Golmud camp of Tubo, stretching for hundreds of miles, with countless soldiers and horses and mountains of food and grass. ”
The soldiers helped each other to his side with great difficulty and said: "General Pang, you give the order on what to do next!"
"Looking back." Pang Fei turned around, pointed towards the Golmud River behind him, and said, "Don't they all say that Kunlun is a sacred mountain? With just thirty-six of us, we must not be able to level the Golmud Camp! But we, You can use the power of gods and Buddhas all over the sky!”
All the soldiers did not understand its meaning.
Pang Fei rubbed his frozen face twice, struggled to squeeze out a smile, and said: "Young Marshal has a clever plan and has a good understanding of the geography of this place - he has already ordered me to blow up the dam here and flood the water. Yangolmud!”
"good!"
"Blow it up!"
"It's such a cold winter that the water floods Golmud! Even if they can't drown them, they will freeze to death!"
"By then, Golmud will turn into a frozen city!"
Pang Fei took a deep breath and said: "The time is just right, it is winter on the plateau, and dripping water turns into ice! Only the rushing Golmud River is not completely frozen! - Let's do it, brothers! This dam is almost frozen. It’s a piece of iron! But even if you dig it with your hands and bite it with your mouth, you can still dig out holes! Use the power of the water god to destroy Golmud!”
…
Late that night, in the icy and snowy Golmud camp, the Tibetan people were intoxicated in their dreams. Suddenly, they heard several deafening roars coming from the direction of the Golmud River several miles away!
Immediately, the river torrents poured out crazily, rushing down from the Golmud Valley on the mountainside known as Yaochi!
The water dragon dances wildly, swallowing the sky and destroying the earth...
Pang Fei and other thirty-six people stood on the rocks on the far side, staring at the scene in front of them of the gods and Buddhas who were shocked and destroyed the heaven and earth, and they were all silent.
"Teacher!... Pang Fei, finally fulfilled his mission..."
At this moment, Pang Fei finally unloaded his heavy burden.
Immediately, his vision went dark, and he fell straight up.
