Defend the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 93
In the past hundreds of years, only the Mazha Department went out to attack others, and they have never been attacked by others.

There were no troops stationed at such an important position at the Kela Mountain Pass. Su Dabolu thought there would be a fierce battle, but he never thought that he would occupy the pass without firing an arrow.

The land here is barren, there is no grass growing, and it is in the cold wind, who wants to stay in this ghost place.

Han Pingan asked Su Da Sushi to do so much homework, not surprised by this, immediately left the cattle, sheep and grain at the mountain pass and handed them over to Su Dabolu to guard, and let Mr. Li, Su Da Sushi and Su Da Shagun soldiers Divide into three routes and attack the nearest three Tubo centurion territories separately.

Together with his elder sister and brother-in-law, he led [-] Turkic warriors, including thirty night watchmen, forty schoolchildren and Gu Sili, to attack Mazatata's lair.

There are only [-] soldiers in total, and the soldiers are divided into four groups, which is really risky.

But what is most needed now is to grab the time. Before the old bastard Mazha reacts, he must uproot his nest.

Facts have proved that the lair of the Mazha Department is not only empty but also unprepared.

It took Li Chengye less than half an hour to capture the territory of a Tubo centurion, leaving behind only some old warriors, women and children, as well as craftsmen and slaves who were not good at fighting.

The cadets did not come to fight, but to count the spoils, guard the prisoners and take care of the aftermath.

Li Jimin, who played the No. 17 school boy team of Duzhou School, registered the gold, silver and jewelry that had just been found, packed them and put a seal on them.

Zhao Changsheng of the No.16 schoolboy team of Yaojianzhou School was busy counting food and grass, and tied the foreign slaves to the captured horses, and transported them to the Kela Mountain Pass later.

Several schoolchildren from the third schoolchildren's team of Damanzhou School were busy gathering women and children to cook for the army, because General Li was going to attack the territory of the next Tubo warrior later.

Wang Xiaozhu from the Sixth Student Team of Damanzhou School from Tuncheng gathered the slaves of the Tang Dynasty, including the Han people, and said impassionedly: "We are here to save everyone under the leadership of Han Changshi, the governor of Yeleji in the Tang Dynasty. Yes, you are no longer slaves, and you no longer need to be cattle or horses for Tubo!"

"Really?"

"Really, absolutely."

Wang Xiaozhu looked at the slaves who were weeping with joy, and changed the topic: "But I can't take you home now, because there are more Tang people waiting for us to rescue! We don't have enough soldiers, and we are not familiar with the surrounding mountains and rivers. .We need people to lead the way, and we also need bloody men to go with us to kill Tubo."

A young Han boy stood up, clenched his fists and said, "I'll go, take me to kill Tubo!"

"Okay, stand over there."

"Count me in."

"And I."

……

Who is willing to be a cow or a horse if you can be a human being?

For these slaves who lived like human beings, killing Tubo is not only to turn themselves into a human being, but also to avenge their hatred.

When Li Chengye walked out of the Tubo centurion's house after eating and drinking, there were already 370 or eight soldiers at the door.Some have weapons, some don't, with hoes, hammers and even clubs.

This kind of situation also played out on Suda Sushi and Suda Sagon. Others fought fewer and fewer soldiers, but now they have become more and more.

When Su Dabolu, who was stationed at the Kela Mountain Pass, saw schoolchildren, leading hundreds of thousands of slaves, driving herds of cattle and sheep, carrying bags of grain and bundles of horse fodder, his intestines almost regretted. Green, I thought that if I had known that Tubo's lair was almost undefended, I should have gone to attack with them.

Han Ping'an's progress here is far less smooth than Li Laozhang and Su Dasushi's, because the Mazha Tower actually learned how others built castles, and it was built on the mountainside.

The Tubo at the foot of the mountain has been wiped out, and the slaves have also been rescued, but it is not so easy to attack.

The tentative attack just now resulted in the loss of more than a dozen Turkic warriors, even Chen Biao, the valiant night watch brigade commander, was injured, and Yinniang was helping him bandage his wound.

"There are at least two to three thousand people inside. The road is narrow and the slope is steep, so it is not easy to attack."

"Most are slaves, not many warriors."

"There are also women. Tubo women have also gone to the city."

……

Han Pingan observed for a while with a binoculars, then turned around and asked, "Brother-in-law, can our crossbow hit the top of the city?"

Qu Tong said helplessly, "I didn't bring a strong crossbow, I only brought a hand crossbow, so I couldn't shoot it."

Han Pingan raised his arm after thinking about it, pointed to the top of the mountain and asked, "Can you climb up and attack from the top of the mountain?"

"Just went around for a while, it's not easy to climb, not many people can climb up."

"A few people can climb up."

"I can climb up."

Yinniang raised her head, as if she was doing something insignificant.

Qu Tong hurriedly said: "I can too."

Han Ping'an really didn't want his elder sister and brother-in-law to take risks, but time was urgent and he couldn't delay any longer, so he weighed it up and said, "Brother-in-law, you can ask again, who else can climb up."

Qu Tong subconsciously asked: "And then?"

"Look again to see if there is a thin, light and strong rope. As long as one person can climb up, he can let down the thin rope, tie a stronger hemp rope, and drag the hemp rope up."

"Then let people climb up along the hemp rope?"

"It's too high, and there aren't many people who can climb it even with a hemp rope. Tie some mines up, and throw them down when it gets dark."

"Okay, Yinniang and I are enough!"

Qu Tong saw it once in "Thunder Valley", and even learned how to cast it, but he never had the chance to cast it himself.

He didn't expect that the treasure he brought from "Thunder Valley" could be used, and he didn't expect that he was the first person to use Thunderbolt to blow up Tubo, so he was very excited.

Yinniang has seen it before, and even thinks that the old Han family's trump card can only be used by the Han family, so she can't help but smile.

The couple didn't care to look at the injury of their adoptive father, so they hurriedly went to prepare separately.

I couldn't find strong thin ropes, but a lot of silk was seized during the settlement of the Tubo villages at the foot of the mountain, which could be used to weave ropes.

There is no need to search for hemp rope, there are many of them.

At dusk, everything is ready.

Han Pingan took a dozen schoolchildren and drove six pack horses with killer maces to a valley.Yinniang and Qu Tong tied the rope woven with silk, took the iron nails, hammer, iron hook and iron claws temporarily made by the blacksmith accompanying the army, observed the downhill, and began to climb.

The old lady was stronger than expected, and she climbed five or six feet in a blink of an eye.

Every time she went to a dangerous place, she followed what I had taught her before, driving iron nails into the cracks in the stone and hooking the safety rope tied around her waist...

Recommended by the gentlemen of the school children's teams, and after the political review by Chief Yi Chen, I knew that there were more than [-] school children in Peraklei, and they were stunned.

Han Ping'an was equally worried, but also believed in the elder sister's skill.

In fact, it proved that this not-so-steep mountain was not a problem for the elder sister and brother-in-law. After waiting in the valley for about half an hour, the silk rope weaved before was let down.

The schoolchildren regained their composure and hurried to tie the hemp rope.

Han Pingan explained the safety precautions clearly, and hurried back to the camp on his horse.

A little injury is nothing to Chen Lvshuai, he has already put on his armor and is setting up defenses outside the camp.

The Tang army has all attacked the city, and Tubo in the castle must be very anxious, and will definitely send people out of the siege to report to Mazha Tata after dark.Therefore, it is necessary to prevent Tubo from attacking at night, and more importantly, prevent Tubo warriors from rushing out to report the news.

"Chang Shi, where are Qu Tong and Yin Niang?"

"I'll let them do something and come back tomorrow."

Han Pingan looked around, then pointed to the gentle slope in front of him: "Build a few more bonfires over there, there will be thunder later, and Tubo will definitely rush out."

Chen Biao subconsciously asked: "Thunder?"

"Man is doing what the sky is watching. If you commit too many crimes, you will be struck by lightning."

"real or fake?"

"False Taoists watch the sky at night, saying that the Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasty will send down divine thunder."

"You can believe the words of the false priest, and besides, he didn't come."

"He asked old man Chen to deliver a message to me. As for thunder, there are gods standing three feet above the head. This kind of thing is better to be believed than not to be believed."

Chen Biao was so confused, he half-jokingly asked: "Then should we step back?"

Han Pingan checked the distance with his eyes, and said with a smile, "No need, we didn't commit any crimes, and we believed in Patriarch Sanqing. Patriarch Sanqing would definitely not strike us with lightning."

At the same time, Qu Tong carefully inserted the thunder silver tube that had just been hoisted up into the stone pot.

Yinniang walked over and looked at the castle on the mountainside, then turned around and picked up a knife to cut off half of the fuse.

"Do you throw it or should I throw it?" Qu Tong asked in a low voice.

"I throw it."

"So many, I am stronger than you."

"I'll let you throw one later."

"Only one?"

"two."

"Ok."

Encountering such an unreasonable woman, Qu Tong had no choice but to continue to control her.

Yinniang took out the tinder, lit a candle on the leeward side, took a few deep breaths, held the stone mine and lit the fuse, then walked over and threw it down.

Qu Tong was so excited that he got up and looked down.

It was too high, I couldn't hear the sound, and I didn't know where the thunderbolt went.

He was wondering if the match was blown out by the wind, and he was worried that the thunderbolt would fall into Tubo's hands, when he saw flames burst out from the mountainside, followed by a loud bang.

It was deafening and startled him.

Yinniang was much more calmed by him, so she hurriedly grabbed him, for fear that he would fall.

The people in the castle were stunned by the thunder. There was silence at first, and then there was a commotion. Standing on the top of the mountain, you could vaguely hear someone howling.

Qu Tong grinned and said, "Come again, throw it away quickly."

"Oh." Yinniang giggled, turned around and picked up the second mine.

……

There were loud thunderclaps, one after another.

The castle was on fire, and the tallest stone castle was knocked down by thunder. The people on the city wall ran around like chickens without their heads, and they could clearly hear the panicked howls of those Tibetans.

Chen Biao was stunned. He covered his ears and muttered to himself: "The Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasty appeared, the false Taoist leader is the real Taoist leader, and he is a god!"

"boom!"

There was another loud noise, and the thunder just exploded on the tower.

Gu Sili and other Turkic warriors were so frightened that their legs limp, and they knelt down involuntarily.

Several night watchmen couldn't help praying, and the Sogdian guards even talked about their Vulcan.

There are too few people in Anxi who believe in the Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasty.

How could Han Ping'an miss this opportunity to help the false Taoist leader develop believers, and immediately turned around: "This is the thunder that the false Taoist priest asked for by opening the altar. Be careful that Patriarch Sanqing hacks you!"

"Chang Shi, I don't know how to worship Patriarch Sanqing, how can I worship Patriarch Sanqing?"

"Recite with me, Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, disciples pay homage to the patriarch. Tao can be said, very Tao. Name can be named, very famous. Nameless, the beginning of heaven and earth, nameless, the mother of all things..."
