My wife is Wu Zetian

Chapter 829 The power of thunder!

Su Dingfang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and directly ordered the soldiers to prepare for the attack.

"General, how do we attack this?"

Chen Hu was dumbfounded. He had not prepared anything yet. Are you going to attack the city?

Attack with what? Head attack?

"Idiot, use gunpowder to attack the city gate. Use gunpowder to blow the city gate open for me."

Su Dingfang slapped him in the face, which was really a stick.

The power of gunpowder is so powerful, can a small Jishi Pass still stop me?

Blast the city gate open and every Tibetan soldier inside will die.

"Here!"

Chen Hu also slapped his forehead and understood instantly.

After all, he is a general and a prince, and his mind is faster than his own.

The gunpowder was tightly wrapped in cotton cloth and instantly became the simplest and most simple explosive bag.

Looking at these explosive packets, Chen Hu also selected a suicide squad and asked them to blend in with the attacking soldiers and advance towards the city wall.

"What are they going to do?"

Looking at the Tang troops who were fighting under the city, the Tubo troops on the city walls were a little confused.

There are no siege equipment, so what do you mean by coming here?

Can he still fly into the sky?

"Shoot the arrows and don't let them get close to the city wall."

Although I don't know what kind of aircraft Tang Jun has, Amuaqi is not a fool, and he will never do anything to let the other side kill him.

Arrows rained down for a while, but the Tang army still moved forward bravely without any fear.

Finally, they rushed to the city gate, and then the death squad soldiers stacked up the explosive packets in their arms.

"ignition!"

One of the chiefs took out a fire stick and opened it, and the orange-red flames instantly ignited the fuse.

"Run!"

Seeing this scene, everyone ran away because they knew the power of explosives better than anyone else.

Seeing the Tang troops fleeing in all directions under the city, Amuaqi was also dumbfounded. He didn't know what was going on with the other party.

Can't be chased away by wolves?

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

A series of explosions sounded, and countless black smoke rose up. Looking at the city gate of Jishi Pass, it had become beyond recognition.

A huge hole appeared in the city wall.

"This is this?"

This explosion instantly reminded Amuaqi of the previous battle, because these inexplicable sounds completely destroyed the soldiers' fighting spirit.

Now it is just replaced by Jishi Pass.

"Come into the pass!"

Su Dingfang had anticipated this situation a long time ago and directly took the lead in killing them.

Thousands of cavalrymen seemed to be dream demon knights from hell. They followed Su Dingfang into Jishi Pass on rolling yellow sand.

Without the obstruction of the city gate, and having experienced the explosion just now, the Tibetan soldiers had no power to resist at all.

What followed was a bloody killing. Most of the thousands of defenders died in battle, and the remaining few surrendered to the Tang army in fear.

After interrogating the prisoners, Su Dingfang also got the news that 50,000 Tibetan troops were heading here for reinforcements. Without any hesitation, Su Dingfang embarked on the journey again with his cavalry.

Then there was another beautiful ambush battle. The 50,000 Tibetan army was beaten by Su Dingfang's thousands of cavalry and fled in confusion.

In the end, less than 30,000 of the 50,000-strong army fled, and the rest either died or surrendered.

Su Dingfang obviously would not let them go, and continued to pursue them until they reached the city of Harar on the Tibetan border.

"General, the soldiers have suffered varying degrees of injuries. If we continue, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Chen Hu only felt that he was exhausted and couldn't use any strength.

The reason why I can still persist on the horse now is all due to a strong willpower.

Although he was like this, the soldiers could not hold on any longer, and more than one-fifth of them were lightly or seriously injured.

There are even two to three hundred people who are dying and may die suddenly at any time.

"Withdraw troops and return to Jishi Pass!"

Su Dingfang also felt some physical discomfort. If he continued, it would be difficult for the soldiers to resist.

"Return to Jishi Pass!"

After hearing Su Dingfang's order, thousands of cavalry also abandoned Harar City and retreated to Jishi Pass.

Although Su Dingfang temporarily retreated, after two battles, the Tibetan army of 130,000 was wiped out by more than 100,000, and only more than 20,000 people escaped.

After Su Dingfang returned to Jishi Pass, Li Mingqi also rushed to Jishi Pass with 30,000 Tang Dynasty elite soldiers and 30,000 Tuhun Valley cavalry to meet Su Dingfang.

After hearing that Su Dingfang used 10,000 cavalry to annihilate more than 100,000 Tibetan troops, Li Mingqi was stunned.

Those were Tubo soldiers and horses, not just ordinary fish. They killed more than 100,000 people at will?

This is a bit too magical.

The most important thing is that more than half of the more than 100,000 people were prisoners, and they were all killed by Su Dingfang. Things got serious here.

The Tubo people will definitely take revenge.

"Xing Guogong, why did you kill so many prisoners? With tens of thousands of prisoners here, how much advantage can Datang have!"

Li Mingqi was puzzled and saluted Su Dingfang.

"Advantage? Killing all the Tubo people is the greatest advantage of the Tang Dynasty. Don't tell me that you can use those prisoners as blackmail. It's all nonsense."

Su Dingfang glared at Li Mingqi. He naturally knew what the other person was thinking, but so what?

He only does what he thinks is right, so forget about using those prisoners in exchange for resources. The Tang Dynasty did not lack those, and even if it wanted something, it would have to be fought for with swords.

"Then what is the general going to do next?"

Li Mingqi didn't dare to speak anymore and directly asked Su Dingfang about his next battle plan.

"The next step is to train in Jishi Pass. You must adapt to the climate here in half a year and be ready to enter Tubo territory."

Su Dingfang glanced at Li Mingqi and slowly gave him orders.

"Training in Jishi Pass? Invading Tubo territory? General, are you serious?"

Li Mingqi was stunned when he heard Su Dingfang's thoughts.

With these tens of thousands of people alone, do you want to invade Tubo? That was Tubo, not those small countries in the Western Regions.

A country that can compete with the Tang Dynasty for supremacy. Are you stupid in the Western Regions?

Besides, the Tang Dynasty was not ready for a full-scale war with Tubo.

"Of course we won't have just such a few troops. I want to turn Jishi Pass into a bridgehead for the Tang Dynasty to fight against Tibet.

The soldiers and horses of the Tang Dynasty will be continuously mobilized here. After being trained to adapt to the terrain of Tubo, they will follow our footsteps and enter Tubo. "

Su Dingfang is not stupid, but they are just experimental subjects. If Tang Jun can really overcome the so-called altitude sickness.

Then Tubo will no longer be a problem for the Tang Dynasty, and it will not be that difficult to destroy it.

"Li Mingqi understands, but do I need to report this matter to His Majesty? After all, His Majesty just wants to keep the Tuhun Valley, and he should not be ready for a full-scale war with Tubo yet."

Li Mingqi was depressed. Such a big matter was no longer something he, or even Su Dingfang, could decide.

It must be reported to the emperor and the court.

"Well, you first make the arrangements as I told you, and I will send someone to report to His Majesty right away!"

Su Dingfang nodded, and directly wrote a memorial describing the situation on his side and the next strategy against Tibet, and then sent someone to Chang'an at an accelerated speed of 800 miles.

Just when Su Dingfang defeated Tubo, Li Yanran also met with Cheng Chubi and Yuchihuan.

"Brother Li, you seem to have grown taller!"

Cheng Chubi looked at Li Yanran in front of him and couldn't help but smile.

After more than two months, Li Yanran seems to have grown a lot taller than before she left.

"Nonsense, it's time for me to grow. If I don't grow, what's the point?"

After giving Cheng Chubi a blank look, Li Yanran sat directly on the chair and said, "Have you sent someone to contact Zhang Sun Yan's idiot?"

"I contacted him. The situation there is very bad. The aristocratic family is under siege. He has been unable to recruit anyone for such a long time.

But he was so worried! "

Yuchi Huan sighed. Changsun Yan was very worried now. It was said that his hair was falling out in large quantities.

After all, farming is the easiest job, but I didn’t expect it to turn out like this.

It’s really shameless.

"Send someone over and ask Changsun Yan to come out. I want to see what's going on with him!"

Li Yanran was also depressed. She really didn't expect that this place would be so bad.

After all, Changsun Yan is also the son of Changsun Wuji, and he still carries the title of Princess Lishan on his head.

Those aristocratic families are simply going too far. Even if you don't give face to Changsun Yan, you still have to give me some face.

"Here!"

Yuchi Huan saluted and immediately sent people to Chengdu Mansion to find Changsun Yan.

"Come here, prepare for the reception banquet. I want to welcome Brother Li and wash away the dust."

Cheng Chubi also smiled and directly ordered the Longmen escorts to prepare for the reception banquet.

"Jie Feng Banquet? Just you?"

Li Yanran smiled disdainfully. She still didn't know what level the Longmen Escorts were.

The food I made can only be said to be edible, but the taste is hard to describe.

"Brother Li, you look down on me, right?"

Cheng Chubi was also depressed. You can look down on other things, but you can't look down on my cooking skills.

You must know that when I was in the fiefdom, I was known as Cheng Yishou. Whenever there was any important situation, I was not the one who took action.

It has only been a while, brother Li, have you forgotten me?

"I look down on you. I happened to bring a cook this time, why don't you guys compete?"

Li Yanran smiled, since I ate Fan Ze's food, can I still eat the food you made before?

"Brother Li, just compete, Xiao Liuzi, get ready, it seems I'm going to show off my skills!"

Cheng Chubi sneered, since we were comparing, let's do it.

He is definitely the best cook among the generals, and he is also the most skilled among the cooks. There is no doubt about this.

"Here!"

The guards beside Cheng Chubi also smiled and took the time to prepare the ingredients.

You must know that Cheng Chubi doesn't take action easily, and now he can finally enjoy Xiao Langjun's delicious food again.

"Li Feng, let Fan Ze prepare and teach this idiot Cheng Chubi a lesson!"

Li Yanran waved her hand and asked Li Feng to inform Fan Ze to give Cheng Chubi a look.

"Here!"
