Chapter 835: Overwhelming
In the city, Li Mingxin, who was directing the transport team to prepare to go out of the city to the front line to supervise the battle, met the front line emergency messenger head-on, Datang suddenly launched an attack, and the Tubo front line camp was broken in less than half a day, and now Datang has driven straight into the killing general.
What the???
The news was reported loudly by the messenger at the gate of the city, and before Li Mingxin could ask what happened, the messenger was immediately hacked to death by Li Xinzhong, who came in anger.
"This person is a spy of the Tang Dynasty, who was bought by the Tang Dynasty, and the rumors are ruining the country, and he is coming, and he will thoroughly investigate whether there are enemies and spies in the city? Once found, it will be killed directly. ”
made a decision immediately, didn't even leave a chance to explain, killed people and sent troops, and the guards next to him went to transfer troops to monitor the city, saying that it was to search for the remaining traitors in the city, but in fact it was just to prevent the spread of rumors.
Li Mingxin looked at his brother without saying a word, this messenger he knew, it was the personal guard of the front-line guards, where was the spy, my brother's move was just to stabilize the country.
But it's true that the front line is in an emergency, since Datang has broken through the front line of 20,000 people in Tubo, I don't know where it has been fighting these days.
The two brothers Li Xinzhong glanced at each other, delayed their support, and waited for the scouts to be sent to understand the military situation and formulate countermeasures.
The soldiers are fast, Tang Cheng Huaimo and others are all veterans who are familiar with the battlefield, Li Mingxin is just a novice who has been studying for several years, and in this first round of confrontation, Li Mingxin has lost the opportunity before he can make a move.
I thought that with sufficient thunder and mine arrays, Tubo would not be defenseless, but the reality is in front of us, and Datang's hole cards and combat effectiveness can never be underestimated, especially the top Zhongnan Academy in Datang.
A day later, the latest news from the front line came, the Tang Dynasty was like a bamboo, everywhere it went was like entering a no-man's land, the city guards looked at the wind and fell, and in three days, they took four cities in a row, and at this speed, they could hit the city of Luo, the capital of Tubo, in another five days.
The Li brothers no longer have the original calmness, Datang is attacking too fast, how can people be stationed?
"Big brother, for the sake of today's plan, only by releasing all the thunderstorms and arranging all the five-day journey into the national capital as a minefield, can we greatly delay the enemy's attack.
Although it is possible to injure some Tibetan people by mistake, the country does not exist and cannot take care of many people, and some barbarians are just barbarians. Li Mingxin suggested.
"You mean, let Datang be tired of demining and can't enter the army?
No, the scouts came to report that the enemy is no longer clearing mines by hand, but instead thundering all the way to open the way, even if we bury all the mines, it will not last long. Li Xinzhong said distressedly.
"That's more than one to one."
"Heh, hehe, my stupid brother, do you think you can make a thunderbolt to despise everything?
The thunder is not something you conjured out of thin air, it can make you work all winter, and it is already a resource cut out for my brother to smash pots and sell iron in Tubo, so the rations of the people of Tubo have been taken out by me.
Competing with Datang, a big country, for resources? Not to mention anything else, we can't get much pig iron to make thunder alone. ”
Li Xinzhong is in charge of the country's finances and logistics, and his words directly poured cold water on Li Mingxin, and he has no resources? So what else to fight with?
After pondering for a long time, Li Xinzhong spoke: "It seems that only the strong man has broken his wrist, there are three natural dangers along the way from Motuo to the city of Luo, and now the Tang Dynasty has got one, and the other is on the official road in the west of the city in the south of the city, there is an official road about three miles long canyon, and we still have a lot of high-explosive gunpowder in our hands, which blew up the three-mile canyon and abandoned half of the rivers and mountains in the east of Tubo in order to keep the city of this inch of land in the west." ”
Li Xinzhong is also a ruthless person, directly give up half of the territory of Tubo, if so, it is equivalent to cutting off contacts with the Tang Dynasty, because the north of Tubo is Kunlun Mountain and the desolate Qiangtang, a no-man's land of thousands of miles, and the east is connected to the Tang Dynasty If it is blocked, only the remaining connection with Tianzhu is there, but the west and Tianzhu are separated by the entire Himalayas, and it is not easy to barely come and go.
"They have gunpowder in their hands, and the three-mile-long canyon may not be able to stop it." Li Mingxin said in a deep voice.
Now he has a sense of powerless frustration, he just wants to find a place for his clan to survive and reproduce, why do the people of Datang struggle to force each other not to give an inch? Do you have to break the net and give the Li clan people in Longxi a way to live? What did we Li clan people in Longxi do wrong?
"If it still can't be stopped, then there is the last natural danger in Tibet, the Zang River (Yarlung Zangbo River) between Luoshu City and Pibo City.
If this can't be stopped, then there is still the life of your brother, when the time comes, you will take your people away from home, as long as you live, we have the possibility of revenge, I will buy you time to retreat. ”
Li Xinzhong's oath made the young Li Mingxin's eyes full of tears, and at this moment, a feeling of hatred burned in Li Mingxin's heart for the first time, Datang didn't give our brothers the slightest way to live, so let's not die.
Looking at his younger brother's hateful gaze, Li Xinzhong nodded secretly, his younger brother has been merciful to his subordinates for many days, and today he finally let go of all the mustards, inherited the hatred of the family, and all the efforts he made finally came to fruition, and he has sacrificed himself for many days in vain.
"Report, lord, there is a man in the city who asks to see him, and he claims to be an envoy sent by the Western Turks in the north."
An urgent report came from outside the door, and the eyes of the Li Xinzhong brothers lit up, at this time Tubo was being pressed and beaten, and if the Western Turks could help outside, the alliance between the two countries might have a turning point.
"Quickly pass on, no, this king will meet you personally."
The Western Turks are still Li Xinzhong's old acquaintances, when the Northern Nations Alliance 500,000 destroyed the Tang Dynasty, came to invite the Tubo Alliance, Tubo Li Xinzhong was busy negotiating with Tianzhu and did not participate, but gave cement to admire, and the envoys at that time were today's people.
"Hahahaha, your envoy came today, God really helped me, I don't know what the Turkic Khan can teach me?"
The envoy saluted and said: "The lord of the country is overjoyed, the Great Khan of my family sent me this time precisely for the two families to form an alliance to fight against the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Oh? Really?
That's really a send-off, the Tang Dynasty is now overwhelmed, if the Western Turkic Khan is willing to send troops in the north to respond, what are the requirements, your envoy just ask. ”
The envoy knew that the situation in Tibet was precarious at this time, and the lord of Tubo was also sick and rushed to the hospital, so it was his turn to open his mouth and rob while the fire was burning.
"My Great Khan said, both of us have been oppressed by the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and there is no shortage of warriors and athletes in our Turks, but they can't resist the Tang Dynasty's magic weapons.
Tubo has a magic weapon that can compete with the Tang Dynasty, but the manpower is insufficient, if the two can work together and communicate with each other, the crisis of the Tang Dynasty will be solved immediately.
In time, our two sides will gradually become stronger and encroach eastward, and it is unknown to destroy the Tang Dynasty and take revenge......"
Without waiting for the envoy to finish speaking, Li Mingxin interrupted with a loud shout: "Enough, shameless Western Turks, take advantage of the fire to rob?"
Want a gunpowder recipe and thunderbolt to strengthen yourself? You are dreaming! ”
