Tulun River!

Tulun River was originally a rare large oasis in the desert, when Tuyuhun was strong, it was Tuyuhun's territory, but after Fu Yun's death, Murong Shun succeeded to the throne after its prestige was greatly reduced, not only the various tribes of Tuyuhun were not convinced, even Khotan and other countries had no fear of Tuyuhun, so Khotan also took the opportunity to annex Tulun River.

In summer, the scenery of the Tulun River is extremely beautiful, with meadows and lakes, like a pure land in the desert.

However, this pure land was broken by a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and the Qin Ling led fifty Tibetan guards out of the yellow sand.

Seeing the abundant water and grass of the Tulun River, the Qin Ling couldn't help but show ecstasy, as long as he reached the Tulun River, then he could get sufficient supplies, and even escape back to Tibet through Khotan.

"Whoosh!"

A sharp sound of crossbow arrows came, and suddenly the joy on the face of a Tibetan guard solidified and fell off his horse.

On Qinling turned his head to look, he couldn't help but feel the soul of the dead, only to see that the firearms supervisor actually chased after him again, and it was conceivable that hundreds of soldiers such as Zamu had been buried in the entire desert.

At this moment, the Qinling no longer led the five thousand cavalry in high spirits, nor did he lead the Mo family into the eight hundred miles of Hanhai in a desperate gamble, now he has lost all his hole cards, and the only thing he wants is to escape.

"Yes, as long as I flee to the Tulun River, the Khotanese tribes there will surely save me, otherwise my father will be razed to the ground in Khotan." On Qinling's heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly walked towards the tribe in the center of the Tulun River.

At this moment, this nomadic tribe also found two groups of invaders, and suddenly the horn of the bull horn sounded a rapid sound, and one by one the tribal warriors gathered across the horses, and soon thousands of Khotanese cavalry gathered and came to the Tomb of Ronqin and the firearms supervisor.

When Qin Ling saw the Khotanese cavalry dispatched, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly approached the Khotanese cavalry.

"Whoosh!"

There was a sharp arrow that fell in front of the Lunqin Tomb, which made the Lunqin Tomb wake up from the ecstasy, and no one knew if this was the enemy's play, so in the eyes of the Khotanese cavalry, these two forces were enemies.

Seeing this, Non Qinling hurriedly stood on the horse and shouted: "Save me, I am the son of the Tubo Prime Minister on Qinling." ”

The leader of the Khotanese tribe led by him couldn't help but be shocked, this person turned out to be the son of Lu Dongzan, if he saw that he was in danger and did not save him, I am afraid that the entire Khotan would have to bear the wrath of Tibet.

At that moment, the Khotanese leader stretched out his hand, and the Khotanese cavalry stopped aiming their bows and arrows at Lun Qinling and others.

Seeing this, Qin Ling couldn't help but show a smile, Yu Khotan really didn't dare to offend Tubo, this time he could finally be saved, and even he had begun to plan in his heart, how to drag Khotan into the water and use it to deal with the firearms prison.

"Young master, it's not good, on Qinling is asking for help from Khotan." Seeing this, Zhang Mu couldn't help but exclaim, now the firearms supervisor and the remnants of the Tubo army are the end of the strong crossbow. The addition of thousands of Khotanese cavalry would determine the outcome of the battle.

Seeing this, Merton couldn't help but snort, reached out and picked up a grenade, lit it with a fire breaker, and then reached out and threw it into an open space in front of him.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a huge roar resounded through the desert pure land of Tulun River.

"Gunpowder!"

The leader of the Khotanese tribe couldn't help but stagnate, and the person who pursued the son of the Tubo prime minister had already identified himself with gunpowder, that is, the Tang army.

Now that the battle of Gaochang has ended, it has naturally spread throughout the entire Western Regions, and the countries of the Western Regions are not surprised by the ending of Gaochang, after all, the little Gaochang wants to confront the Tang Dynasty as much as ants shaking the tree, and what really shocks the countries of the Western Regions is the weapon of the Tang Dynasty to break through Gaochang City - gunpowder, and the one who has gunpowder is the firearms supervisor led by the famous Mo Jiazi of the Tang Dynasty.

"The famous Mo family of the Tang Dynasty is chasing and killing the son of the great minister of Tubo." The heart of the leader of the Khotanese tribe shook wildly, these two are characters he can't offend, Tubo is adjacent to Khotan, relying on the Tubo Plateau can overlook Khotan, but the prestige of the Tang Dynasty is even better, first defeated Tuyuhun, insisted on ambushing the head of the people and returned, and now it is to destroy Gaochang, and the entire Western Regions is terrified.

The leader of the Khotanese tribe had a sharp turn of his mind, and soon with a wave of his hand, the entire Khotanese cavalry retreated one after another, drawing distance from the pursuing sides.

On Qinling's ecstatic heart suddenly cooled, he didn't expect that Yu Khotan would not be saved when he saw death, wasn't he afraid of Tubo's revenge?

The leader of the Khotanese tribe was helpless, Tubo was indeed very close to Khotan, but Khotan had just received the news that Tuyuhun's Tubo had been defeated and retreated to the plateau, which showed that the Tang Dynasty was even more victorious.

Merton couldn't help but show a sneer, the last time he faced the Khotanese cavalry, it was the Tang Dynasty banner that he showed, and this time, he himself showed a grenade, and it seemed that the grenade was better to use.

"You don't have to regret it in Khotan!" On Qinling shouted in horror.

The leader of the Khotanese tribe was not moved at all, if the Tubo attacked, Khotan could also use the city wall to resist, if the Tang Dynasty with gunpowder wanted to attack Khotan, then Khotan was afraid that it was only the same as Gaochang, only to destroy the country.

With Gaochang's experience, Khotan did not want to offend Tubo, but he didn't want to offend Datang, and the best way was not to help each other.

"Kill!" Merton suddenly snorted coldly.

A group of firearms supervisors and soldiers were armed with steel crossbows, and soon, the remaining fifty remnants of the Tibetan army fell to the ground with arrows.

"I surrender, I surrender!" On Qinling's soul, he hurriedly shouted, as long as he could live, he believed that his father would do his best to save him.

However, it was Mo Jiazi's resolute crossbow arrow that answered him, and Qin Ling fell to the ground unwillingly, his value in life was far greater than that of death, but Mo Jiazi did not hesitate to shoot him.

Merton snorted coldly in his heart, on Qinling killed so many firearms guards, this revenge can only be solved by using the head of Qinling to pay tribute.

Moreover, they are in Khotan's territory, although there are only more than 1,000 Khotanese cavalry, but the firearms supervisor and the remnants of the Tibetan army have been circling in the desert for many days, and it is already the end of the crossbow.

Sure enough, the leader of the Khotanese tribe saw that the Qin Tomb was killed, and couldn't help but sigh, now the Tang Dynasty is the victorious side, and the overall situation has been decided.

"Yu Khotan, Wei Chiwen, see Mohou!" The leader of the Khotanese tribe stepped forward alone, and when he saw the face of the Mo family, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it was this face that had chased and killed Fu Yun outside the Tulun River a few years ago, and he had confronted him when he followed the Khotanese Wang Wei Chiding, but he didn't expect that he would be able to see the Mo family again in the Tulun River.

Merton looked at Wei Chiwen and nodded: "You have made a correct choice, but the Tang Dynasty has never treated friends badly, today's matter will be kept secret, and the Qinling Tomb was killed by the Hou in the Eight Hundred Miles of Hanhai." ”

Wei Chiwen was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Thank you Mohou!" ”

As long as the Tang Dynasty personally said that Lu Dongzan died in the desert, Tubo naturally could not blame Khotan, so that Khotan's crime of not saving him when he saw death was naturally covered up.

"Mohou was tired all the way, and asked Mohou to go to the tribe to rest." Wei Chiwen's heart was in great trouble, and he stretched out his hand to invite.

However, Merton rejected Wei Chiwen's kindness, shook his head and said: "No need, Princess Changle is about to give birth, Ben Hou needs to rush back to Chang'an City immediately, just supply some water and horse feed, and return immediately." ”

Wei Chiwen's heart moved, the royal family of Khotan admired the culture of the Tang Dynasty very much, and the love story of Princess Changle and Mo Jiazi naturally reached Khotan, and he bowed down and said: "Then Khotan will not leave Mohou." ”

At that moment, Merton led the firearms supervisors to the center of the oasis of the Tulun River, and after drinking in the clear water of the lake, he ate the grass as much as he could, and the war horses, who had not seen grass for many days, ate the grass until their stomachs were round.

After doing all this, Merton led the firearms superintendent soldiers to the east without stopping, and immediately headed for the east, which was the route he took to the west to conquer Tuyuhun, and it can be said that he was familiar with the road.

Watching the figure of the firearms supervisor disappear into the desert, Wei Chiwen couldn't help but look complicated, now it is really eventful, the Tang Dynasty is strong, and the Western Regions are powerful, and Tubo dominates the plateau, strong and ambitious, but Khotan is weak and has few people, in the long run, I am afraid that the situation in Khotan is not good!

"Chief, it is rumored that the Mo family in the Western Regions has the secret recipe of gunpowder in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, just now the Mo family has just come out of the desert, it can be described as a godsend, we will definitely be able to defeat the firearms prison in one fell swoop and seize the secret recipe for gunpowder." A centurion behind Yu Chiwen said demagoguously.

"Defeat the firearms supervisor and capture the Mo family? Why do you think Qinling was hunted down by the Mo family? Wei Chiwen's face was solemn, it was invincible gunpowder in the world, and Yu Chiwen was not moved, but the current situation of Qinling made him calm down.

"On the Qinling is also for gunpowder?" The centurion said with wide eyes.

Wei Chiwen nodded, according to the rumors in the Western Regions, the current Mo family should participate in the Battle of Gaochang, and Tubo should be in Tuyuhun, there are thousands of miles between them, but two people who are not close to each other are fighting in the desert, then there is only one possibility, interests, and it is a great benefit, and gunpowder is the greatest possibility.

"And on the defeat of Qinling!" Yu Chiwen said solemnly, Tubo wants gunpowder, naturally it is impossible to just send these fifty people, if you want to defeat the Mo family who has gunpowder, then you must have several times the strength of the firearms supervisor to be possible, and Rao is so, on Qinling is still defeated, it can be seen how powerful the power of gunpowder is.

While the centurion was shocked, his heart was even more covetous of the power of gunpowder.

Wei Chiwen shook his head and said: "As soon as the Mo family entered the Tulun River, he used gunpowder to identify himself, it can be seen that the Mo family still has gunpowder in his hand, and it is not easy for us to defeat the firearms supervisor." ”

When he was not sure how much gunpowder was still in the hands of the Mo family, how could he dare to act rashly.

"What's more, the Mo family is not defenseless against us, after killing the Qin Ling, the leader invited him to the tribe to rest, but the Mo family wanted to leave immediately on the grounds that Princess Changle was in labor, and only asked for replenishment of water, and fed the war horses Even when replenishing water and horse material, they did not relax their vigilance, which shows that Mo Jiazi has always been wary of us, and after replenishing the water and horse material, he immediately stepped into the desert." Wei Chiwen said helplessly.

From beginning to end, Mo Jiazi didn't give Yu Chiwen any chance at all, and simply left Tulun River.

"We didn't help Tibet, and the Mo family is still so defensive about us?" The centurion looked angry, but he completely forgot that he still wanted to hit the Mo family's gunpowder just now.

Wei Chiwen sighed and said: "If the Mo family can have today, how can they be famous." ”

Since he began to enter the Tulun River and finally stepped eastward into the desert, Mo Jiazi has never shown any flaws, and Wei Chiwen has no idea about gunpowder, so he can only watch the firearms supervisor leave.

It was not until nightfall, when the firearms supervisor who had left the Tulun River saw that there was no Khotanese cavalry chasing him, that Merton breathed a sigh of relief and ordered to set up camp.

The temptation of gunpowder is too great, even the Tibetans are moved, how can Meton rest assured of Khotan, maybe the tribes of Khotan live more comfortably, but this camp in the desert can make Merton's heart stable.

This time, the firearms supervisor traveled 800 miles of Hanhai and killed the Qinling Tomb, and the entire 5,000 Tubo cavalry was wiped out, which made the firearms supervisor raise his eyebrows and sigh for revenge.

Morton looked at the laughing firearms supervisors, and then at Zhang Mu, who kept collecting dew, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, the firearms supervisor's westward expedition is probably over, in fact, he didn't just shirk Wei Chiwen, the next thing he had to do was to rush back to Datang as soon as possible.

Before Princess Changle gave birth, he was going back to Chang'an City.
