Do you have to choose this path?

Lu Dongzan was stunned for a moment, and then fell silent again. The two monarchs and ministers sat opposite each other like this for a long time before Lu Dongzan carefully broke the silence.

"Zamp thinks... The road is too risky to be worth it? ”

Songtsen Gampo nodded, and said helplessly: "Prime Minister, we have just experienced several major battles in a row, and the confrontation with the Tang Dynasty was defeated, whether it is the quality of the soldiers or the weapons, we are far from being the opponents of the Tang Dynasty, their battle formation is very perfectly coordinated, and together they can exert several times the combat effectiveness!" In comparison, our army is a plate of loose sand! If it weren't for the advantage in numbers, and the first step to capture Songzhou City, I'm afraid we would have been defeated a long time ago! Let alone... They still have that horrible weapon! ”

Speaking of this, Songtsen Gampo had a hint of fear on his face. The thunderbolt that day made such an impression on him that it almost had a psychological shadow!

When you think of the roaring explosion, you will unconsciously emerge the terrifying scene of the stumps of the soldiers flying all over the sky, God! That kind of horror, he never wanted to experience it a second time!

Fight with the Tang Dynasty? Isn't it looking for death?

Different from Songtsen Gampo's fear, Lu Dongzan seemed very calm at the moment, seeing that Songtsen Gampo seemed to be frightened, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, secretly saying that Zampu was still too young and had little experience, and it was easy to be frightened, in fact, after careful analysis, he found that maybe the "thunderbolt fire" used by the Tang Army was not as terrible as they imagined!

"Zampu, calm down." Lu Dongzan said in a deep voice: "Zan Pumo is going to be frightened by the thunderbolt of the Tang army, in fact, if we think about that war carefully, we will find that this thunderbolt is afraid... Not as horrible as we thought! ”

"Huh?" Songtsen Gampo raised his head suspiciously: "What did the prime minister say about this?" ”

Lu Dongzan smiled, his eyes revealing a cunning look. "Zampu recalls, since we met the Tang army and started the battle, did the Tang army ever use thunderbolts?"

Songtsen Gampo shook his head: "No, I never knew that the Tang Army had such a terrible weapon. ”

Lu Dongzan nodded: "Indeed, if we knew that the Tang Army had such powerful weapons, I am afraid that we would not have chosen to fight them at that time, and we would not have caused such a big loss!" But the Don Army did not take out this weapon at first! This is the very strange first place, and based on this, I have two speculations! ”

Lu Dongzan paused and said, "The first possibility is that Tang Jun is deliberately clumsy!" The reason why Thunderbolt is not applicable is to induce us to let down our vigilance and play a war of attrition with the Tang army with the idea of defending the city. Then, taking advantage of our slackness, we designed to infiltrate the city, and used thunderbolts to break the morale of our army in one fell swoop, and then take the opportunity to regain the city!

This second possibility........" Lu Dongzan sneered and said fiercely: "We were all deceived by that Tang army!" The so-called Thunderbolt Fire should have great limitations in how it should be used! For example, it is very expensive to make! For example, it hits it unexpectedly in transit! For example, it is not suitable for dogfight!

Zampu, do you think about how many times you heard the sound of thunderbolts that night? ”

Songtsen Gampo closed his eyes and tried to think about it for a while, and then said uncertainly: "Probably... There must be thirty or forty strokes. ”

"When we abandoned the city and fled, did any of the pursuers of the Tang army use thunderbolts?"

"No... No! ”

"That's right!" Lu Dongzan said excitedly: "Zampu, if it is really the first possibility I just mentioned, Tang Jun will definitely not pay such a big price, just to pave the way for the appearance of Thunderbolt." You must know that the Tang army also suffered a lot of casualties in the battle with us, and if they could have used this weapon from the beginning, they would have used it a long time ago! If they use this siege, we can't resist it at all, so they don't need to sneak around, and in the end they turn a corner, use a rather risky ploy, and then use Thunderbolt! ”

Songtsen Gampo nodded, indeed, if the Thunderbolt Fire is really so easy to use, can't the Tang Army just use it directly? With this thing to fight them, it is guaranteed that it will not be long before he Tubo will not be able to hold on to the rout. Even with walls! The thunderbolt is powerful enough to blast through the gates!

But in the end, the Tang army's plan to thunderbolt fire seemed like a helpless move, sneaky, and extremely risky!

For example, when Songtsen Gampo was happy, he burned the wooden tiger? Didn't their plan fail?

"So, Chen thinks the second possibility is very likely!" Lu Dongzan raised his voice: "This so-called thunderbolt fire must have great restrictions!" I remember that on the eve of the battle of the Tang Army, there was a torrential rain, and it was possible that the thunderbolt fire was afraid of the rain! Or, the manufacturing cost of this thing is very high, even Tang Jun can't afford it! Otherwise, they wouldn't have covered it up like this and used it as a finale. ”

"Yes!" Songtsen Gampo nodded frequently after listening to Lu Dongzan's analysis, and I have to say that Lu Dongzan's analysis is quite reasonable, and he immediately grasped the shortcomings of Thunderbolt.

But... What he didn't know was that the shortcomings he was talking about were the weapons initially developed by Chen Fei during the Battle of Songzhou, the gunpowder in clay pots, which were not tightly sealed, and he was naturally afraid of rain.

Now upgraded to version 2.0 of the Thunderbolt Fire, although it will still be used due to moisture after being stored in a humid environment for a long time, it is almost difficult to destroy this batch of Thunderbolt Fire in a heavy rainstorm, and its moisture resistance has been greatly improved!

Let alone..... Although the manufacturing cost of Thunderbolt Fire is small and expensive, it is completely within Li Shimin's affordability, so cost is not the main factor.

Although Lu Dongzan's analysis was good, he didn't expect that he was only analyzing the past tense, and the current thunderbolt fire was not as simple as he imagined! Even the power has been increased by a lot!

"Well, what does the prime minister mean..."

Lu Dongzan smiled slightly, waved his hand and made a chopping motion: "Zampu!" Promise them! As long as the conditions they offer are sufficient, we can get what we want! Anyway, it's not just our country that's participating! No matter how powerful he is in Datang, can he destroy so many of our countries? Let alone...... We have nothing else in Tibet, and no one dares to say that it is better than us when we look at the geographical advantages! ”

Indeed, the geographical advantage of Tibet is indeed unique, located on the Tibetan Plateau, and the terrain and altitude are the highest in the world. After stepping on Tibet, there will be a strong altitude sickness, and ordinary people can't bear to deal with altitude sickness, let alone fight on the plateau, it's a fool's dream!

It is no exaggeration to say that on the territory of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Army's 100-man battle formation squad can fight against 300 or even 500 soldiers in Tubo.

But on the territory of Tibet, I am afraid that this number will fall!

It's such an exaggerated gap!

At the beginning, the thousand-strong team sent by the Tang army to Tubo had adapted to the climatic conditions there for several months on the territory of Tubo, and they could barely adapt to it.

I'll stand and let you fight, and you probably won't be able to fight, what am I afraid of?

Seeing that Songtsen Gampo was still hesitating, Lu Dongzan hurriedly comforted: "Zampu... Even if we lose this battle, we will lose some soldiers at most, and we will be able to recover after a few years of cultivation, but if we win, we may ........"

Speaking of this, Lu Dongzan became short of breath, his pupils dilated, and he saw a peerless beauty with a perverted expression.......
