Chapter 354 Bioweapon!

Chapter 362 Biochemical Weapon!
Cui Ying and Yang Sanjie were pregnant almost at the same time. For Zhang Xuan, this was an unparalleled happy event.

At the Palace of Yongning Palace in Lingzhou, Zhang Xuanbiao's ministers and generals came to congratulate each other when they got the news, and Zhang Xuan hosted a banquet to celebrate with everyone.But in Chang'an, as the news spread, many dignitaries in Chang'an sent congratulatory gifts to Yongning Palace, and even Emperor Li Heng personally sent a small gift.

At this time, Li Guangbi's [-] army finally encountered Tubo's attacking army on the outskirts of Qilin Cuo City.

Li Guangbi's army approached the fortress Acropolis in the north of Luoxie City, the Tubo king's court. Qilincuo City was an important gateway of Luoxie City. If Qilin Cuocheng was lost, Luoxie City would be in danger.

Chisong Dezan had no choice but to grit his teeth and order to personally lead the army to move to Qilincuo, to fight Li Guangbi to the death.

This battle must be fought.

Li Guangbi was ordered to invade Tubo this time, and he has never fought head-on with the Tubo army. He also needs the fruits of victory in a battle to decorate the dazzling aura of this battle against Tubo.

Qilin Cuocheng is a small city with a small city defense. Its main function is to guard and hoard all kinds of food and grass.Therefore, Chisong Dezan gave up his plan to defend the city and directly ordered the army to line up in the wilderness outside Qilincuo to confront the Tang army.

The formation of the Tang army was neat and orderly, and it was so dark that it could not be seen at a glance.In the formation, flags are flying, swords and guns are everywhere, and morale is like a rainbow.Although Li Guangbi's army came from afar, but after a few days of rest, the soldiers' physical strength and combat effectiveness have recovered to a peak state.

Compared with the Tang army, the morale of the Tubo cavalry was slightly sluggish, and the formation was not so strict.

Chisong Dezan had a look of worry floating between his brows. His anxious eyes swept across his own formation and then projected to the Tang army camp at the far end. His deep eyes clearly saw the letter "Da Tang Yongning Wang Zhang" He secretly sighed in his heart when he saw the Datang Army Banner with golden characters such as "Qinghai Dudufu Li".

For this battle, Chisong Dezan has no certainty or confidence.

Over the past year or so, Tubo and the Tang army have fought many times, and each time they lost troops and lost generals.Since Zhang Xuan personally led the army to attack Tubo, until now, the Tang army has come and gone freely in Tubo territory several times, burning, killing and looting as much as possible, and the confidence of the Tubo soldiers has been greatly hit.

The civil strife was settled, and all wastes were destroyed. The remnants of Stanley's troops were still entrenched on the outskirts of Xiaobolu, waiting for Chisong Detsen to conquer. At this time, the Tang army suddenly invaded and almost pushed Chisong Detsen to the edge of the cliff.

dilemma.

Chisong Dezan has been anxiously paying attention to the news in Datang, but the news that he has been waiting for a long time for the An Lushan uprising has not yet come.This made him extremely anxious.

Chisong Dezan originally wanted to adopt a procrastination letter to drag Li Guangbi's army to death in Tubo territory. He led the army to guard some cities, and the guard of honor was naturally dangerous to stop the Tang army.The Tang army came from afar and could not fight for a long time.

As long as the Tang army is defeated, he can lead the Tubo cavalry to come out in full force, making Li Guangbi's Tang army suffer.

On the Tubo plateau, the advantage of the Tubo cavalry is still very obvious.

However, on the other side, Yang Lian's troops had officially transformed from a suspicious soldier into a frontal offensive force, and they came to Luoxie City with great fanfare from the rear.Although Chisong Dezan judged that Zhang Xuan's move was probably a false attack, he didn't dare to take the risk. Once the two Tang armies encircled Luoxie City, the Tubo royal court would be over.

Once the royal court of Tubo is broken, Tubo will be equivalent to a subjugated country.

……

……

In summer, the temperature on the Tubo Plateau in the afternoon is actually not too high, and the wind blowing from the Daxue Mountain is slightly cool.

Li Guangbi stood in the army on his horse, holding his spear high.

The red tassels on the spear fluttered, and the tip of the spear reflected a cold light in the sunlight.

Boom boom boom!
The earth-shattering military drum sounded, and the desolate and distant bugle sound was also broadcast in the four fields at the same time.

"Boys, this battle must be won! Cut off the dog's head of Chisong Dezan, and you will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households!"

Li Guangbi shouted loudly.

Behind him, the [-] army suddenly burst into a thunderous shout: "Take Chisong Dezan! Seal ten thousand households!"

"The mighty Tang Dynasty, the mighty Longshuo!"

"Kill!"

Tang Jun took the initiative to attack.Li Guangbi's soldiers had already suffocated and were ready to fight the Tubo people.

Tens of thousands of Tang soldiers shouted and killed them, with swords and guns like a sea, smoke and dust billowing, and the earth roaring.

On the side of the Tubo army, Chisong Dezan sat on his horse with a gloomy face and remained silent.

Dolan, the chief general of Tubo, galloped forward, with endless shame and anger floating on his face. He lowered his voice and said, "My lord, the Tang army invaded our country and bullied me too much. Dolan should lead the army to fight to the death with the Tang army!"

Chisong Dezan sighed lightly.He had no choice, he had to fight, even though this kind of head-on collision was not what he hoped for.Because no matter whether this battle is defeated or not, Tubo's military and national power will be further damaged, so that it will be devastated.

"He wants to fight, so let's fight!" Trisong Dezan squeezed out a few words through his teeth, and waved his hand coldly.

Doran gritted his teeth and nodded, turned around on his horse, waved the scimitar in his hand, and roared, "Your Majesty has orders, our army will go to battle!"

"Kill, for the people of Tubo, for the glory of Tubo!"

"Surround the country and defend the glory!"

Under the leadership of Duo Lang, the Tubo cavalry rushed towards the Tang army who was getting closer and closer, waving the scimitar in their hands.

There were 2 Tang troops, and 3 people attacked.However, there were only [-] soldiers and horses in Tubo, and only [-] people attacked.

The two torrents of steel were getting closer and closer like a long dragon. At the moment when the passionate collision was about to start, the Tubo cavalry suddenly saw the long spears in Tang Jun's hands, and each took out a round object with a rope from behind.

Before the Tubo cavalry had time to react, the rope in the hands of the Tang army cavalry carried the ball, waving in the air and whizzing through the air, and exploded in the formation of the Tubo cavalry like a rain curtain.

There was a loud bang, and then one after another flames rose into the air, and a choking smoke spewed out.The smoke became thicker and thicker. The Tubo cavalry, who were stunned by the loud noise and flames, were still in shock and attacked by the poisonous smoke. Many of them fell to the ground with bleeding from their mouths and noses, while the rest fled in all directions.

Chisong Dezan, who was watching the battle from a distance in the Tubo base camp, was taken aback, and his face changed suddenly: Could it be Zhang Xuan's firearm? !

There are many rumors about Longshuo's firearms among the Tubo people. It is almost a magical weapon with infinite power, unstoppable by manpower.Chisong Dezan also carefully studied this kind of firearm, and the scene in front of him immediately woke him up, thinking that Tang Jun used firearms.

In fact, this is not a simple firearm. In Zhang Xuan's words, it should be called a relatively simple chemical weapon.

There are a lot of rumors about firearms, and they are passed on miraculously. In fact, Zhang Xuan knows very well in his heart that these are all exaggerated and exaggerated.The real power of firearms is definitely not that great, but can only play the role of surprise soldiers, disrupting the enemy's formation, and disintegrating the morale of the army.

If firearms are to play a more important role in large-scale military formations, they must be improved and invented at the same level as firearms in the Ming Dynasty. Firecrackers, rockets, and artillery are the real lethal forces.

However, given the technical level of this era and various conditions, Zhang Xuan had no way to raise the level of firearms to the level of producing artillery, so he could only think of other ways.

Transforming the Shaking Thunder into a highly toxic biochemical ball is one of these ideas.

The structure and triggering principle of this biochemical weapon are basically similar to those of the Thunderbolt, but the outer shell is just made of oily paper, yellow wax and tough clay paste. It has been "calcined" at a certain temperature to form, and the built-in iron sand is mixed with poison. It is used by cavalry. Throwing it out, it can ignite poisonous smoke after being triggered, hurting people invisible.

Compared with the Shaking Thunder, the biochemical ball is suitable for cavalry to use at close range, and its manufacturing cost is low, and it can be mass-produced.

The Firearms Department produced a batch of finished products, and Zhang Xuan secretly sent people to the Qinghai Navy, ordering Li Guangbi and Yang Lian to conduct actual combat trials in this battle.

Li Guangbi at the Tang army camp saw the Tubo cavalry formation in chaos, the people turned their backs on their backs, and the white smoke billowed incessantly. He knew that Zhang Xuan's secret weapon had worked.

There was a gleam of awe at the corner of his mouth.He has witnessed the power of Zhang Xuan's firearms before, and this time this nameless mysterious weapon has shown unimaginable power in actual combat. He has no way of imagining how Zhang Xuan can make such a weapon that surrenders without fighting. The artifact came.

Li Guangbi waved his hand abruptly and shouted, "The whole army is attacking!"

The military drum sounded again, and the [-] soldiers and horses on standby rushed out like a tide, rushing to the battlefield ahead.

******************************
Although the news of Longshuo Zhang Xuan's use of troops to Tubo was deliberately blocked by Zhang Xun, it still spread.

Fan Yang.

When An Lushan heard the news, he was overjoyed and jumped up against the case, "Everyone, this is God helping the king! Zhang Xuan of Longshuo actually used troops against Tubo at this time, which is exciting! Since Zhang Xuan didn't send the king and Fan Yang 20 If iron cavalry is in your eyes, then this king will give him a slap in the face!"

"Everyone, the timing is rare. Zhang Xuan is going to war with Tubo, and the forces of Longshuo and Hexi are being held back. This war will last at least a few months. Then..." An Lushan laughed loudly, and turned his attention to the military adviser Yan Zhuang .

Yan Zhuang smiled slightly, then withdrew his smile, and solemnly clasped his fists and said, "My lord, the time is right to raise an army, and the next day will be an auspicious day. From my point of view, it would be better—"

An Qingxu and all the generals bowed down excitedly, waiting for An Lushan to make the final decision.

Fan Yang has been preparing for many years, and he is waiting for the day when he will actually start a rebellion.

There was a cruel smile on the corner of An Lushan's mouth, he swung his fat arm suddenly, and said in a deep voice, "In that case, let's rebel against the Tang Dynasty! Military division, you draft a call to action against Li Heng who forced the palace to usurp the throne, and spread it to the world, saying This king will send troops south to Chang'an to welcome the Supreme Emperor back!"
