Text 193 Broken Loulan
Bai Suni Zhi and Zeluo were already colorless at this moment, and the moonlight was scattered on the banks of the Peacock River, and a one-sided massacre was going on on the banks of the Peacock River.
The cavalry of a thousand men actually beat the camel team to the point that they were powerless, and the screams came and went, from being shot by a bow and crossbow to the present when the two sides were in close contact, it was never broken, like hell on earth.
"Zeluo, I limit you to the gate of Loulan City before the sun comes out tomorrow." Li Hong's face was also full of murderous aura, and he stared coldly at Ze Luo, whose face was pale.
After finishing speaking, Li Hong suddenly hit the reins, and the food stamps under his crotch seemed to be watching the same kind of people scattering joy there, and he was already a little eager to join, and he slapped his neck with the reins, and immediately followed the reins with a pat on his neck, and immediately hissed happily like an arrow from the string, and then disappeared in front of Ze Luo with a frightened face.
"Leave a hundred people to pick up the work, and the others will follow me immediately." Li Hong was protected in the middle by two hundred personal guards, and when he passed through the camel caravan battlefield, he said coldly.
"Yes, Daduhu." Although the two of them were still killing in the camel team, after hearing Li Hong's voice, they immediately pulled the reins and retreated from the sparse camel team.
Just like Li Hong's order, the 1,000 people of the entire Tiefu Tu cooperated tacitly, and in the lawless short order, the 100 people who were originally in charge of vigilance immediately entered the battle group.
The remaining 900 men then turned their horses, abandoned the scattered living forces of the caravan, and began to depart with lawlessness and speed.
Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves was everywhere, and the night seemed to tremble, plus Li Hong's 200-person personal guard, a total of more than 1,100 cavalry, which was even more shocking than the impact of the camel team just now.
Bai Suni and Zeluo's faces turned pale, he had long seen that these cavalry were extraordinary, but he never expected that they would be so orderly.
The iron cavalry kicked up choking dust like a tornado, and with a rumbling sound, the cavalry galloped away, leaving only a hundred men behind them to clean up the battlefield.
The population of Loulan City was only twenty or thirty thousand people at its peak, and there were not many people stationed on the upper floor of Loulan City in the middle of the night, except for the sentinels waiting for the triumph of the camel caravan.
The earth was trembling, and as the deafening sound of the horse's hooves got closer and closer, the entire Loulan City seemed to be plunged into an earthquake.
"So fast? The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are getting weaker and weaker. ”
"Datang is now old, weak, sick and disabled, and it is good to be able to hold it now."
"But no, now that the Western Regions are in their hands, I'm afraid they are already crumbling, and they will be occupied by the powerful Tubo sooner or later."
The sentry on the city tower listened to the rumbling and pleasant vibration, and easily ridiculed the combat effectiveness of the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty.
"No, it's not a caravan, it's the sound of horses' hooves, and the hooves of the caravan aren't so dense." A man who looked like a leader, listening to the slow sound of iron hooves, suddenly got up from the watchtower, walked to the tower and looked out.
Outside the city tower, the sound of horses' hooves that gradually slowed down was not very far from Loulan City, and the cavalry like a tide was fan-shaped, slowly approaching the city wall.
The silent murderous aura, like mercury spilling into the face, was wrapped in a cold cold wind blowing on the city, and the silent killing breath made the leader who was watching the city feel a chill, and the cold wind had cut his neck like a knife, and he sat on the ground in fright.
"Big ...... The cavalry of the Great Tang. The leader stammered as his legs went limp.
"What Tang cavalry?" The other soldier asked strangely as he listened to the fire chief's frightened voice.
"The cavalry of the Great Tang Dynasty is coming to the city." The fire chief shuddered and pointed out of the city.
As soon as the fire chief finished speaking, he heard a cold voice from the city tower: "Open the city gate immediately, and most of the Anxi Protectors are here." ”
"Ah...... What to do? The soldier hurriedly picked up the fire chief, and asked with a pale face.
The fire commander cautiously glanced at the battlement probe, and after thinking for a long time, he remembered that it was better to report first, so he looked at the soldier and said, "You go and report to the guard, I'm waiting here." ”
After the fire chief finished speaking, he immediately leaned against the city and shouted to the sky: "Please wait for a while, and when the guard arrives, I will open the city gate for you." ”
Li Hong's face was calm, and he looked at the loess rammed city wall lightly, under the moonlight, the entire city wall seemed to be covered with a layer of silver armor, giving people an unpredictable feeling.
"Siege." With a breath of heat coming out of his mouth, Li Hong said calmly.
"Yes, Daduhu." The two of them immediately set up their bows and crossbows, and the soldiers behind them also followed the lawless movements, and immediately set up their bows and crossbows.
Li Hong picked up the bow and crossbow on the right side of his horse's back, and Xiaoxue immediately stretched out his little hand and helped put a ringing arrow on it.
Li Hong didn't look at it, he raised the bow and crossbow in his hand and buckled it towards the sky, and a scream pierced the night sky, resounding in the sky over the entire Loulan City.
Immediately, a rain of arrows burst through the air and shot towards the city gate, and screams rang out one after another on the city tower.
After a few rounds of arrow rain, there was a sudden sound of footsteps on the city wall, accompanied by the sound of groaning, and the city gate suddenly creaked and slowly opened.
"Wutian went straight to the inner city, according to the portrait in your hands, this person must be found." After Li Hong finished speaking, he clamped the horse's belly and was the first to take the lead towards the city gate.
A few people slowly appeared at the city gate, and the torches illuminated the city gate, as well as the few people holding torches, who were stunned and cheetahs.
"The slave has seen the master." The two of them took a few people around them, holding torches and saluting.
"Stunned to take Wutian to the mansion of Anmo Shenpan, be sure to capture Gar Xiruo alive, you and I stay in the outer city to prevent him from escaping. Unable to take over the defenders, they began to defend the city. At this time, Li Hong's face had a trace of solemnity.
"Yes, sir."
With the two of them unable to follow Wutian, each leading their own 1,000 people to leave, Li Hongcai looked at the cheetah, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You have made meritorious service this time, if you come this time, you must be here to erode my Datang land next year." ”
Most of the cities in the Western Regions are divided into inner and outer cities, and due to the vast area, their cities are relatively much larger than those of the small cities in the Central Plains.
The people living in the outer city were naturally ordinary people, including some nobles' land, all of which were surrounded in the outer city.
The inner city is a city of complete habitation, and the further you go, the higher the status of the people who live there, and the lower the status you get.
In this era, Loulan, once one of the seven powerful countries in the Western Regions, occupied the geographical advantage of the undiverted Peacock River, and was eager to enclose all the people under its rule into a city.
Therefore, in the outer city of Loulan City, where Li Hong is walking now, except for the torches that have just been lit in the hands of the guards, he has never seen any houses with lights on.
Li Hong rode on horseback and slowly walked on the road between the outer city and the inner city, except for the forty people around him, the rest of the guards behind him had already turned into columns, and began to check whether anyone had escaped from the inner city.
"Where is Heng Qiao now? Why did you two send you? Li Hong tightened the fur that Xiaoxue had put on his armor and asked.
"If you go back to your father, the Tubo Prime Minister Gardongzan (Lu Dongzan), after his eldest son set off for Loulan, he will return to his hometown of Gayu, Hengqiao is afraid of changes, and has been secretly following, so he ordered us to pick you up here." The cheetah, also on a warhorse, said.
"Yes, Lu Dongzan, this old thing is not dead yet, this encroachment on Tuyuhun is completely his idea, Tubo Zanpu Songtsan Gampo has been dead for more than ten years, and he has been in power for more than ten years, so as soon as Songtsan Gampo dies, his first goal is to take down his hometown Tuyuhun, and now I am afraid that in Tuyuhun, in his hometown Gayu, he can already be called the emperor of the soil." Li Hong braved the cold wind, snorted white haze, and said depressedly.
Tuyuhun's Gabu and Kayu areas are now all the fiefdoms of Lu Dongzan, and since the demise of Tuyuhun, Lu Dongzan moved the Tang Dynasty to save the army and restore the country in order to prevent the Tuyuhun King Nuo Haobo and Princess Honghua.
Therefore, he has been guarding Tuyuhun, and everything in Tubo is completely handed over to his eldest son, who is now trapped in Loulan City.
Li Hong was getting the news of the sting and the cheetah, and came to save Bai Suni by the way, the main purpose was naturally Gar Xiruo in this Loulan City.
Lu Dongzan is a personal essence, and even Li Hong feels that in this world, I am afraid that only his dragon mother Wu Mei can beat Lu Dongzan in this intrigue and intrigue of the city government.
The plan of harmony is the most significant contribution that Lu Dongzan has made in Tubo for many years, and it is also the proud work of his life.
At that time, the small country of Nibhara was played to death by Lu Dongzan's hand, and he used his incorruptible tongue three times to say that the king of Nibhara married his own princess to Songtsen Gampo, and then he made the country die.
Then he persuaded the imperial grandfather Li Shimin to marry Princess Wencheng to Songtsan Gampo, but fortunately, Datang was not killed by his scheme.
However, the strength of Tibet is absolutely related to the too many advanced agricultural technologies brought by Princess Wencheng and too many manual techniques.
If it weren't for marrying Princess Wencheng, Tubo would probably still be grazing on the plateau at the moment.
When Li Hong thought of this, he couldn't wait to be born decades early, if only he could prevent the emperor's grandfather Li Shimin from marrying Princess Wencheng.
A few years ago, he also made a request to his father, hoping to marry another princess, but fortunately he was rejected by his father.
"It's embarrassing to be in your thirties, and to get out of a dog hole?" Li Hong looked at an inner city wall surrounded by the guards, and under the care of the torches, seven or eight people were coming out of there one after another, teasing in the tone of the previous Xinjiang mutton skewers.
