Traveling through the divine eagle: the first sword of Quanzhen

Chapter 541 Winning the First Battle
With Duan Siying's victory in the first battle, the morale of everyone under Tang Lan's command rose instantly.

The decadence of everyone just now was swept away in an instant.

Immediately Tang Lan directed the crowd to occupy Tongguan, followed by the transportation team, carrying the prepared firearms, and followed the brigade.

On the towering city wall of Tongguan, Duan Siying sat leisurely on the garrison officer's chair. She crossed her legs and looked at Chang'an City in the distance.

Tomorrow's sunrise may be extraordinarily dazzling.

At this time, everyone in Vulture Palace had already thrown the Mongolian Empire's "Sun and Moon Banner with a blue background" and the bones of the killed Mongolian soldiers into the city.

It was replaced by the "Sanguang Banner" of Datang.

The Three Lights are the sun, the moon and the stars. The military flag of the Tang Dynasty is a flag with a red background, with a black sun embroidered on it. In the black sun is an indigo moon, and in the last blue moon is a yellow one. of stars.

However, this banner was not designed by Li Qingwei, nor was it prepared by Zhuge Qingyun. Zhuge Qingyun did prepare some banners, but basically they all had the word "Tang" written on them.

And this flag was provided by Vulture Palace.

Because the ancestor of the Xixia Kingdom was the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, some patterns of the Tang Army's military flag were kept in the treasury.Since Xuzhu, Vulture Palace has always had a relationship with Xixia.Vulture Palace has received a batch of military funds funded by Xixia.

However, at that time, Xixia was just "cleaning up the inventory" and sent a lot of "old and used goods" that were not needed, as well as military funds, to the Vulture Palace, and these flags were among them.

Even before Li Yuanhao, some armies of the Xixia Kingdom used these flags.

Since Li Yuanhao created the Xixia language and promulgated the baldness order, these flags were slowly abandoned.

The suggestion to use this flag was also put forward by Li Yuhan.

After all, Li Qingwei regarded himself as the Zhengshuo of the Tang Dynasty, so naturally he had to use the real banner of the Tang Dynasty.

After hundreds of years of dust, these flags flew again on the land of the Tang Dynasty.

The banner fluttered in the wind, like a rejuvenated veteran, telling his endless glory.

And this glory may be rekindled on this land!

About half an hour later, Tang Lan and his men arrived at Tongguan with dozens of carts of ordnance, and the servants of Vulture Palace opened the city gate and let them enter.

After entering the city, the soldiers under Tang Lan's command did not delay much, and immediately carried all kinds of firearms to the city wall according to the plan made before the war, and then assembled them.

After that, prepare all kinds of equipment for defending the city to deal with the Mongolian army that will invade tomorrow.

What Tang Lan prepared this time was enough for a Mongolian man to drink a pot, six hundred rockets, thirty artillery pieces, and thousands of shells.There is also the three-eyed gun built by Zhuge Qingyun before.

With these things, there is no problem with resisting the first round of the Mongols' attack.

Tang Lan walked up to the city wall, and she gave a deep salute to Duan Siying who was sitting on a chair enjoying the night view.

Duan Siying replied at this time: "Why is Miss Tang so polite?"

Tang Lan said respectfully at this time: "This time, I would like to thank the lord for your help. If the lord hadn't cleared the closed guards for us and opened the city gate, we don't know how much effort it will take. Secondly, the lord has a very close relationship with the emperor. As a courtier, I must be more respectful."

Duan Siying looked at Tang Lan who was wearing armor and military uniform. She nodded and said, "Yes! The little girl is nice and polite, much better than that wild girl named Lu. If she wasn't Qingwei's disciple, she would have Zuo must discipline her according to the rules of Vulture Palace."

Duan Siying said at this time: "I have done everything I can do. If you are talking about Jianghu competitions, you are not as strong as me, but when it comes to marching and fighting, I don't know anything. You can follow the rules of Master Zhuge." Just tell me to do it before, don't pay attention to me as an idler."

After Tang Lan took the order, she ignored the people in the Vulture Palace, and arranged it intensively. First of all, of course, the firearms to be used to defend the city were placed on the city wall, and the second was to count the "captures".

After all, this is a pass, and the pass is also a military fortress, so naturally there is a treasury.

Weapons, armor and other things are not important, what is important is to count how much food is left here.

After all, they wanted to stay here until Zhuge Qingyun's army joined Li Qingwei's army.They now carry only three days' rations with them.

If there is no corresponding supply at this pass, then they will have to make another plan.

Tang Lan also admired the "discipline" set by Li Qingwei.

All these actions are subject to command, so that these soldiers will not be like headless chickens.

And this "everything seized must be returned to the public" is even more wonderful. When the soldiers led by Tang Lan, the first thing after entering the customs was to hurry up and prepare for the "fortifications" to defend against the enemy. The treasury of Tongguan was closed.

No one went in to loot, and no one hid anything.

At this time, Tang Lan also started humming a ditty, and while she was humming a ditty, she counted the various "seized" materials.

Tang Lan didn't know where the tune she was humming came from.

This is what Li Qingwei taught them to sing before returning to Luoyang.Let them sing in the army.

Li Qingwei called this song "Song of Discipline of the Heavenly Army".

What he sang was the "Three Laws, Eight Small Laws" formulated by Li Qingwei.

The first sentence was "Soldiers of the Heavenly Army must always keep in mind the three major disciplines and eight points of attention." After that, the disciplines formulated by Li Qingwei were sung one by one.

Because this song was catchy, it quickly spread among the army. Tang Lan also thought it was a good song, so she always hummed it in her spare time.

After counting the treasury, Tang Lan had a depressed face, because the treasury was empty, and many things did not match the account books seized. It was either empty pay, or someone was embezzled.

But Tang Lan recorded real numbers.

But fortunately, although there is not much food here, it is enough for her people to eat for more than ten days.After taking Chang'an City, a large amount of supplies will be sent over.

After all, under the operation of Zhuge Qingyun, the "master book", Chang'an is now a big granary, with abundant money and food.Not only the money and food in Tongguan, but also the money and food in various strongholds in Guanzhong, including Hanzhong and Yangping, all need Chang'an City to supply.

Before that, Wang Ping, the deputy head of the Fengyuan Road March, sent people to urge food several times, but they were all delayed by Zhuge Qingyun.

After all, they are about to revolt soon, how can these money and food be given to the enemy?Moreover, the lack of food and grass in Hanzhong is the best thing for Zhuge Qingyun.

Because Zhuge Qingyun mixed a batch of boiled seeds for them before, the grain production in Hanzhong has been greatly reduced this year.

At this time, there were already signs of famine in Hanzhong.

But Zhuge Qingyun doesn't care, only when the mountains and rivers are exhausted can they completely eliminate the 10,000+ Mongolian army and Han puppet army entrenched in Hanzhong and confronting the Song army at Jianmen Pass.

This is the biggest threat to them in this uprising.

Under the management of Zhuge Qingyun, the money and food in Chang'an City are now enough to maintain an army of 5 people for three years.

What's more, if you can't take Chang'an City for more than ten days, then what's the point of fighting? Just surrender!
After Tang Lan finished counting the supplies, the defensive firearms on the wall of the pass had almost been set up.

At this time, Tang Lan followed the previous plan and raised fire against the team led by Duan Yunxian outside the pass.

Seeing the shaking torch, Duan Yunxian immediately ordered: "Miss Tang has completely occupied Tongguan, order everyone to follow the original plan."

　The name of the banner was fabricated by the author based on the murals. The author is not a student of literature and history, so everyone can enjoy watching it.
