Reincarnation of the Heavens: Starting from Hong Kong Comprehensive

Chapter 358 War
Tubo occupied Shicheng, and could keep the gate of the plateau if they retreated. If they advanced, they could break through Tang's military defense line at Riyue Mountain, and their troops could point directly at the Hexi Corridor.

Because of this, not to mention the Tibetan army, which is usually a group of herdsmen, they often use this as a springboard to rob the soldiers and civilians in Longyou, Hexi Province. Especially in autumn, large groups of troops are dispatched to rob the wheat and women grown by farmers on the border.

The Duke of Yan, Li Jinxing, has ordered that all Tubo people encountered along the way will be killed, regardless of gender, age or child. Even children who are not taller than a wheel will be killed. After all, they are all wolf cubs.

To be honest, Meng Fan felt a faint sense of joy in his heart and was not pitiful.

The reason was precisely the baby who was crucified on the gate of Shanzhou City.

The hatred of country and family overrides all emotions.

The foreign herdsmen who usually looked docile, once they broke into the territory of the Tang Dynasty, they instantly turned into the most brutal gangsters; the wolf cubs were instilled with the idea of ​​robbery since childhood, and they were not raised at all, and they could not bathe in the king's transformation and become good and obedient people. .

Therefore, it is better to kill them all and save one more person. It is very likely that people from the Tang Dynasty will die because of this in the future.

"With Shibao City as a cover, the Tubo people retreated and guarded the mountains, and when they advanced, they swept down."

"Jiuru, let alone ten thousand soldiers killed in battle, even fifty thousand or one hundred thousand more! I will not hesitate to spend my money to take it back!"

The Duke of Yan, Li Jinxing, had a large frame. Even though he was already in his fifties, he still looked majestic. He was wearing a brightly polished armor and was chatting with Meng Fan.

"If possible, I really hope that this battle can end the country's war in the west at once, so that future generations can enjoy happiness."

"The military advisor is still too young, haha. We have had several battles with Tubo in the past, mostly in Tuyuhun. We can't reach the hometown of those barbarians because the mountains are high and the roads are far away."

Shancheng is the western barrier of the entire Shanzhou, while Shibao City is to the southwest of Shancheng.

Since the arrival of the army, various parties have begun to mobilize frequently, and the fortresses in this direction have become denser than before.

The overall layout is to use Shancheng as the core and the fortress as the stronghold. Each fort is subordinate to some sentries, and a three-level network defense system of city, fort and sentry is quickly built.

There are usually a hundred people permanently stationed in the fort, and the number in the outpost ranges from five or six to eleven or twelve.

Songmushao, affiliated to Rongbao, is the Tang Army's military unit closest to Shicheng. It originally stationed one fireman, that is, ten people, all year round.

However, last year, the imperial court issued a decree that those who reached sixty would not have to serve in the military and could go home to rest, so one person left.

Later, when there were parents in the family who needed support and no brothers, they no longer had to guard the frontier, so another one disappeared.

Until now, both vacancies have not been filled, leaving only eight old soldiers and one rogue horse.

Early in the morning, the fire chief yawned, walked to the ditch in front of the door, lifted up his skirt, pulled off his trousers, and started peeing.

However, he accidentally got it on his hand. He cursed in his mouth and said, "Shit, fuck." He threw his hand away and didn't have any place to wipe it, so he just wiped it all on the protective mirror.

At this moment, the man in charge of the night watch on the tower suddenly said: "Chang Huo, I seem to hear something."

Huo Chang didn't care about anything else, he quickly fell to the ground and listened for a while:

"There is a Tibetan horse team!"

"Light up the wolf smoke!"

"It's freezing and foggy in winter, so it's useless to light up a cigarette..."

The young man guarding the tower sighed.

After hearing this, Huo Chang, who had a messy beard, didn't care about anything else, and immediately rushed into the door and shouted: "If the enemy is attacking, please get up and light an open fire for me, carry the firewood to the tower, and pour all the tung oil on it."

"Can the brothers over there at Rongbao see it?"

"What are you talking about? Just order it first and then talk about it."

As he spoke, the fire chief had already begun to rush over to grab the firewood, and warned: "Liu Er, ride your horse and go to Rongbao to deliver the message."

A tall and thin man had climbed up at this moment, put on his armor and an iron helmet, and asked with wide eyes: "Boss, did you hear clearly? Are they really Tibetan people? If the military information is misreported, The brigade commander must have peeled off my skin." "Mother, if you follow my order and report the news, will it be blamed on you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Er thought about it, rushed out, and rode a rogue horse into the thick ice mist.

"Quick, close the door!"

The remaining seven sergeants continued to work. The sentry tower was soon filled with firewood, and tung oil was poured three times. Even the Fuyuan crossbow not far away was covered.

It is true that this thing is a sharp weapon, but if a war really breaks out, what use can seven people do?

Not long after, the young man guarding the tower shouted:
"It's the cavalry from Tuyuhun. Their heads are covered with black curtains. I saw... there were no Tubo people."

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud crackling sound, like hail falling from the sky. The young man rolled down the ladder and cried: "Huo Chang, I've been hit by an arrow."

At this age of fifteen or sixteen, the beard around his mouth has not even grown, and he is holding his belly and crying.

Dark red blood flowed out from between the fingers.

The fire chief had no other choice, so he quickly helped to hold the wound, turned around and shouted: "Throw the torch up and light the firewood and tung oil for me!"

"Fire chief, fire chief..."

"Am I going to die?"

The young man covered his lower abdomen with one hand and grasped Huo Chang's rough black hand with the other.

At this moment, all the firewood and tung oil have been burned, the interior is illuminated red and bright, everything is warmed up, and streams of soot are also poured in.

In order to block the enemy troops, the door was blocked directly, there was no ventilation at all, and there was constant coughing in the room.

The fire chief didn't answer. He looked around blankly. The narrow fort still looked so dirty and messy. After living there for so many years, he was actually tired of it.

The injured young man was suddenly choked and couldn't help coughing. A mouthful of blood spurted out. His face was covered with blood and tears. He clutched the black hand tightly and said dejectedly:

"I...I haven't bathed for half a year. When the Tuyuhun people leave, can I take a bath first and then bury them?"

The fire chief tore off half of the linen clothes with his other hand, covered his mouth and nose, and sighed:
"What are you thinking about? It's okay. The doctor from Rongbao is here and can cure you. Don't close your eyes."

"Ahem, why do your hands smell like urine?"

The young man whispered: "My lower abdomen was shot through. I'm afraid I won't survive."

Blood was still oozing from the nostrils and mouth, and the linen was quickly soaked. Apparently, not only was the stomach shot through, but also the internal organs were injured...

The fire chief suddenly asked: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, how many brothers do you have in the family?"

"Four, my boss."

"That's good, that's good. There will be no queen in your family. Go to sleep. We are considered dead in the battle. The officials will give us money and fields. It will be easier for your brothers to find wives in the future."

"Cold, cold..."

Bang bang bang!
Soon, there was a loud collision outside the door, and Tuyuhun soldiers were banging on the door.

Now, a fire is burning on the stone tower, and all the crossbow arrows have turned into firewood. The enemy can easily climb over the trench and touch it.

After taking a look at the corpse, the fire chief, who was about forty years old, stood up, took out the horizontal knife and said:

"Let's meet again in the underworld."
