Chapter 460: The Great Bombing

The night sky of the Western Regions is like a black ribbon, and the curved moon is like a sickle, hanging high in the sky. Next to the moon, the stars seemed to be filled with jewels of various colors.

Hou Jie looked at the sky, and then looked at the countless airships around him. Da Feichuan is now on the highest level of alert, and Li Ji led his light cavalry out for more than 100 miles to guard Hou Jie. At the same time, 30,000 Tang troops bowed and unsheathed, and any creature that approached was among those who were killed.

All the airships were refueling, and countless barrels of fire oil were pumped into the airships. Each airship also carried more than a dozen barrels of oil, and anyway, as long as the space on the airship was full, it was full of fuel.

I looked at an eight-bull crossbow at the bow of the boat, and two 500-pound bombs on the far side of the pod. It's the only thing on the airship that can be used to attack! It can't be helped, because the distance to be flown is too long, and the space and weight that are freed up are stuffed with fire oil. Enough fuel for the airship to fly back to Dafeichuan!

Hou Junji was going to personally direct such a big operation, but when he got on the airship, he changed his mind. Or give this opportunity to the long-awaited son, the young eagle must learn to fly after all. Then let the career of the young eagle start from the sky.

One thousand and twenty-two airships, this is all of the Tang Empire. For this operation, Li Er even stopped the country's post airships. Fully support Hou Junji's action!

All the airships were filled up in Dafeichuan, and were filled with fuel. Then it was lifted off one after another, and it was now mid-September, and the weather on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was not so bad. If it's October, it's likely to be windy or snowy. If you sail at that time, the whole voyage will be fraught with risk.

More than 1,000 airships, overwhelming after takeoff. The lights on the airship are more numerous than the stars in the sky.

After Songtsen Gampo controlled most of the plateau, he had the idea of moving the capital. When he toured the Pengyu region in the north, he went to the Luo area, where the dangerous geographical situation, the beautiful wilderness, and the majestic Potala Mountain made him very fond of it. So Songtsen Gampo moved the capital to Luo, and after several years of construction. The most important thing is that Songtsen Gampo built a Potala Palace at the foot of the Potala Mountain.

The whole city is built along the Potala Palace, one after another. Potala is the core of Logic. Of course, Songtsen Gampo has now given the city a new name, Jalan Sat!

In Tibetan, "goat" is called "jay", and "soil" is called "sa". "Lhasa", translated into the oral language "is" in Tibetan, only needs to obey the Buddha's holy will, as it is reasonable, it also means precision, unquestionable and changeable, the difference is a millimeter, and the loss is a thousand miles. It is through the "temple" and "service". This place is a Buddhist temple to establish the city, so Jalan Sa is also called Lhasa.

As a **** kingdom, Songtsen Gampo strictly follows the will of God. There are only 999 houses in the Potala Palace, but just last month, he ordered someone to build a Buddhist hall. A person cannot own more than 1,000 houses, and if he exceeds 1,000 houses, he will be punished by heaven.

At noon, the heavenly punishment came. When the dense airships appeared in the sky over Lhasa, no one knew what was going on. The stupid man looked at the strange thing in the sky, and the quicker one was already kneeling on the ground, reciting the scriptures and praying the most devout prayers.

A large group of lamas ran out of the Potala Palace, many with prayer wheels in their hands. Even the Venerable Guru appeared in front of the public and looked up at the wonders of heaven.

Hou Jie had goggles on his eyes, and when he opened the glass window, a strong air flow rushed in. Stuff the words out of his mouth back into his stomach!

However, Hou Jie still did not forget and sounded the whistle on the boat.

"Woo......!" The shrill whistle pierced the sky, and all airships began to lower in altitude at the sound of the whistle.

Hou Jie could even see clearly that those Tubo people were like ants at his feet. Then take a look at the majestic Potala Palace, which is the palace of the legendary Tibetan king.

"It seems that the map given by my master is correct, we really followed the guidance of the map and compass to the capital of the Tubo people. Childe, it should be fine. "The person who spoke was called Zhang Cambodia, and he was sent by the Yun family. He brought with him a detailed map showing the location of the city of Lhasa. Throughout the night, Zhang Cambodia constantly adjusted the compass to prevent this huge team from getting lost.

Luckily, they didn't get lost. Instead, it was a sunny noon day over the city of Lhasa.

"Got it!" Hou Jie didn't like Zhang Cambodia very much, but he had to rely on him. Without him, it would have been impossible to find the capital of Tibet in the dark night.

"Woo......! Woo......! Two successive whistles sounded, inside the airship at the front. A big man smirked and dropped the bomb that had lit the seal. The bomb was filled with oil, and as soon as it hit the ground, it exploded into a large cloud of flames, engulfing everything around it in a thick smoke.

"Boom! Rumble! ……! The dull sound of explosions was incessant, and the devout worshippers immediately scurried around like frightened rats. Hou Jie saw with his own eyes that an incendiary bomb exploded in the middle of a large group of lamas. Behind the flames was a swarm of live rats scurrying around the ground.

One end of the Potala Palace was already shrouded in smoke, and more bombs were dropped. Then the airship didn't look at its own results, twisted its huge body, and returned the way it came. The most terrible thing on this trip is the fuel problem, and I don't have time to ink here now. It is the king to return to the Datang control area early to refuel, if you lose a thousand airships at once, Li Er will go crazy!

Hou Jie watched as the airship kept throwing incendiary bombs, and the entire city of Lhasa turned into a sea of fire. The smoke obscured the sky, forcing his airship to rise a bit in order to avoid the smoke and throw it.

Two 500-pound incendiary bombs were thrown down, and the entire airship was violently cleared. Hou Jie hurriedly grabbed the handle, and only then could he stand firmly. The city of Lhasa at his feet was already burning like hell. Almost all the buildings were drowning in smoke, especially the largest one, the Potala Palace. It was now completely engulfed in smoke, and through the smoke you could even see the orange flames scurrying around.

It worked! Hou Jie's heart was shouting that he had destroyed the capital of Tibet. At least he destroyed the palace of the King of Tubo, Yun Hao's guy is really powerful, he actually came up with such a method. Lao Tzu is in heaven, and they are all on earth. No tearing, no crossbows. You can easily tear your opponent to shreds!

The eight-bull crossbow in the bow of the boat did not exert its power, which made Hou Jie regretful. But this is also something that cannot be helped, after all, there is still a long way to go back. Whether the fuel is enough or not, the most important thing now is to go back in good condition. As long as you go back, it's a great achievement. Perhaps, he is the first person to have a knighthood among the sons of this generation of nobles. Thinking about it, Hou Jie's nose bubbled with joy.

The journey back was long, and Hou Jie took out the wine. There are also braised beef flatbreads to entertain the big guys to eat. In order to load more fuel, only three members were allowed on the airship. Hou Jie's airship is more special, because of the existence of him and Zhang Cambodia. An extra 200 catties of oil is required.

It was Hou Jie who took the lead, and the airship behind him followed. Zhang Cambodia didn't dare to drink, but kept tinkering on the map. Then look at the sun and recalibrate the course of the airship.

It was dark when I left, but I didn't expect it to be dark when I returned to Dafeichuan. The sun had just set from the top of the mountain for less than two hours, and the crescent moon hung in the sky, with a faint yellow glow. The stars in the sky had just hung out, twinkling and twinkling. Suddenly seeing countless stars flying towards him, Li Ji wanted to yell in frustration: "The damn actually succeeded, this is okay!" ”

War has been detached from the established patterns in the minds of generals, and there is no need to tear them apart. You don't need to compete with your own bravery, you can kill the enemy's capital by staying high in the sky. Li Ji has never fought such a battle, and he doesn't know how to fight.

"Old!" Li Ji looked at the stars in the sky that were gradually approaching, and sighed helplessly.

"Really?" This was Li Er's first question after hearing the war report, and when Yun Hao gave him a report on this new war model, Li Er didn't believe it very much. However, with Yun Hao's highly credible reputation, Li Er still collected the airships from all over the country and handed them over to Hou Junji to complete this historic feat. It wasn't going to work very well, after all, it wasn't easy to find a place thousands of miles away these days.

Even in Datang, airships will get lost many times, let alone the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau that they have never been to.

"The Luguo Gong said that the palace of the Tubo king had been burned. I just don't know if I have destroyed the king of Tubo, Songtsen Gampo, and Lu Guogong decided to fill the airship with soldiers next time. Let the soldiers land and kill the Tibetans, and then retreat by airship. Cheng Biting Jin reported that after Li Jing's accident, the eldest grandson Wuji was in charge of the military department for a while. The current military department is Lao Cheng!

"Will this work?" Li Er said suspiciously. It sounds very reasonable, but it feels a little unreliable. I've fought all my life on horseback, and I've never tried to fight in an airship.

Needless to say, it's still a real way. A man can fly in an airship to any place where the enemy's forces are weak. Then the soldiers lowered the airship and rushed out to slaughter the enemy. Then, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy reinforcements did not arrive, he immediately retreated in an airship. No matter how fast the enemy's horse is, it is not winged!

You don't need to ask to know that this idea is Yun Hao's. Hou Junji had that brain, and he would never come up with such an idea. At least, he is also a smart person, so he didn't think about concentrating a thousand airships and giving them to the Tubo people from the sky.

"Immediately order Tang Jian to talk to Songtsen Gampo and ask him to withdraw his claws that have reached out to the Western Regions, otherwise I will order the airship to come to him once a day. Until there is no more city in Tibet! Belch...... By the way, find out if Songtsen Gampo is dead. Li Er suddenly thought that it would be better if Songtsen Gampo was killed this time.

Tibet, which is not unified, will have a power vacuum because of the sudden death of Songtsen Gampo. The divided Tibet will be even more divided, and Li Er wishes that the more fragmented the Tibetans are, the better. It is better for one person to be a country, and then it can be regarded as divided to a certain level.

"No!" Lao Cheng answered the promise and retreated.

In fact, Li Er was bragging that it would not be easy to organize such a large-scale air raid. Needless to say, the consumption of oil alone made Li Er's flesh hurt. Ignoring such blackmail is effective for Songtsen Gampo, who is now immersed in a deep state of confusion.

He sent enough troops to defend the capital, but the enemy army came from the sky. In the face of this kind of Tang people who do not play cards according to the routine, he Songtsen Gampo has no choice. And now rumors are spreading in the city of Lhasa, saying that it is because he arrogantly owns a thousand houses, so he angers the gods and sends this calamity. All this is God's will!

The ignorant people of Tibet, in any case, could not convince their simple brains that those things that could fly were driven by people. To be honest, Songtsen Gampo didn't believe it when I first met him.

Just when he hadn't fully understood from his confusion, Tang Jian came. As a veteran diplomat, Tang Jian stepped down from the airship. gave Songtsen Gampo a deep shock, and the Tang people had really reached the point where they could not be defeated.

"I've seen the King of Tibet!" Tang Jian's face was small, and he arched his hand to be regarded as a force.

This is a blasphemy against Zampu Songtsen Gampo, and the fiery Tubo general is going to tear Tang Jian to pieces. But he was stopped by Songtsen Gampo reaching out!

"Envoy of the Tang Kingdom, what are you doing here?" In the end, it was Songtsen Gampo who quickly woke up from the shock.

"Peace! Bring peace to the plateau! Tang Jian said with a smile. The smile on his face looked very sincere, and of course Songtsen Gampo knew it. This is a guy who is more cunning than a fox, and he can be at fault for believing his words.

"How to bring peace, you destroyed my palace just a few days ago." Songtsen Gampo pointed to the ruin-like Potala Palace, and even charred corpses could be seen on the ruins, revealing a certain part in a strange shape.

"You are a noble person, and you should know that once a noble person is angry, it is difficult to restrain it. Your Great Minister Lu Dongzan brazenly sent troops to the Western Regions, which brought a very big loss to my Datang. My Majesty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, naturally wants to send heavenly soldiers to give color to Tibet. Tang Jian still had a smile on his face, but with an arrogant smile.

Datang can turn your palace into ruins, but you don't even have a chance to fight desperately. This is crushing, even if you are desperate, there is only a dead end, and you can't fight anything.

A weak country has no diplomacy, and Songtsen Gampo is bitter in his mouth. Lu Dongzan did a good job, he must have hurt the Tang people. But no matter how good the front line is, Tubo also needs cities and trade. Not only did they have to buy and sell things that Tibet did not have, but they also had to contribute a lot of taxes. Songtsen Gampo couldn't imagine what it would be like for Tibet to have no taxes.

"I don't know what purpose the envoy brought to the emperor of your country, let's say it!" Songtsen Gampo sighed, looking at the current situation, no matter what the envoys of the Tang people said. He could only pinch his nose and admit it, he couldn't imagine the scene of his army being strangled in the air by an airship and finally lost.

There are grasslands on the plateau, and as a good hunter, Songtsen Gampo knows that the eagle in the sky is the most powerful thing. Because you can't hurt it, and it can give you a fatal blow.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of our country, I just want Zampu to recall Lu Dongzan. And guarantee that the Tubo people will never go down the plateau and become enemies of our Tang Dynasty. ”
