Ulima deserves to be a peerless horse, rushed up the Kunlun Pass in one breath, like lightning into the Tubo army array, the first Tubo 500 generals were stabbed to death by Zhao Ziliang before they had time to react, Zhao Ziliang rode the Uli horse into the Tubo army like a lion rushed into the flock.

When there are few generals in the world who are Zhao Ziliang's enemies, not to mention that these Tubo shrimp soldiers and crab generals were killed by Zhao Ziliang like a local chicken and a dog, and nearly 200 people were killed and injured in a blink of an eye.

Everyone worked together to quickly kill the Tubo army in the mountain pass, several frightened Tubo soldiers who were scared to see that the situation was not good, immediately turned around and ran south down the mountain pass, Zhao Ziliang took out the treasure carving bow, put on three arrows at a time, "whoosh" three arrows fired together, and the three escaped Tubo soldiers were hit by arrows in their backs and rolled down the hillside together.

Zhao Ziliang put away the treasure carving bow and instructed Ma Luan: "Send a few people down to find the corpse, we must see the corpse and confirm that it is dead, if the news of our sudden capture of Kunlun Pass is learned by the Tubo people in a short time, the Tubo people will definitely react quickly, which is not conducive to our next step to capture the Tanggula Pass!" ”

Ma Lan clasped his fists and said: "The last general understands!" ”

Next, Zhao Ziliang arranged for the soldiers to clean up the corpses of the Tubo army and their own corpses, this time the raid on the Kunlun Pass, Zhao Ziliang took advantage, he used the clothing and banners of the Tubo people to deceive the Tubo army stationed here, and waited until the distance between the two sides was close enough to launch a surprise attack, and the Tubo army did not think of the arrival of the Tang army at all, first of all, there was no vigilance, and the response was insufficient after finding out that it was the Tang army, plus Zhao Ziliang and other fierce generals personally took the lead, and the ordinary soldiers could not stop him at all, All these factors combined, and the 300 Tubo troops stationed here were quickly wiped out, while the Tang army only suffered a few casualties.

After cleaning the battlefield, Zhao Ziliang arranged some soldiers to bring up the war horses under the mountain, and at the same time arranged for the men to make a fire to cook, on this mountain pass at an altitude of more than 4,700 meters, it is very difficult to boil the water and cook the food, fortunately, Zhao Ziliang's wrench space prepared a large number of grain, grass and ordnance materials for this thousand-mile attack, barley flour, flour, rice flour are fried before coming, as long as hot water is added and stirred evenly, it can be eaten.

Zhao Ziliang saw that the ground was full of animal bones and bones that didn't know how long they had existed, and pointed to these bones on the ground and said, "Collect these bones, they can be used as firewood!" ”

There is a lot of phosphorus in the bones of the animal bones, and it is easy to ignite after the bones are dry, and the men follow Zhao Ziliang's instructions, and they quickly ignite the fire, those animal bones that have dried up are very good to burn, and the fire is also large, a pot of snow water melts and heats quickly, but it can't be boiled, Zhao Ziliang of course knows that this is because the atmospheric pressure is too small, so let the soldiers stir the fried barley flour and flour with hot water, stir it into a paste and then eat, the taste is really not good, but fortunately, Zhao Ziliang also brought a lot of sauce, Mixed in the mush, the taste is ok.

The yaks raised by the Tibetan army in the mountain pass were slaughtered by Zhao Ziliang's order, and the meat was removed and roasted on the fire to give the soldiers a tooth sacrifice.

More than 2,000 people and a large number of war horses and livestock gathered in the mountain pass, the scene was very lively, after this period of long journey and adaptation, the soldiers have adapted to live on the plateau at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, and the soldiers who have the plateau pronunciation are getting fewer and fewer, and after this battle, almost all of them have not had altitude sickness again, which is undoubtedly a good news and good sign for Zhao Ziliang and his soldiers.

In addition to the guard post, the soldiers all ate together, and Zhao Ziliang also chatted with the soldiers while eating, telling jokes and talking about yellow jokes, which made the soldiers feel that Zhao Ziliang also had an approachable side under his majestic appearance.

At the end of this meal, Zhao Ziliang said: "After eating this meal, most of the soldiers will continue to fight south with General Ben to Tanggula Pass, and three hundred people must be left here to garrison!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Ziliang looked among the officers seated, pointed to Zhang Tie, the captain of the first regiment of the first battalion, and said: "Captain Zhang Tie, you take your regiment to stay and wait for the follow-up men, and start building fortifications before they arrive, the fortifications here are too simple, and after they are stationed here, you can keep up with us, is there a problem?" ”

That Zhang Tie heard that Zhao Ziliang asked him to lead the team to stay, and his face was suddenly a little reluctant, but Zhao Ziliang's words were obviously not a discussion, but an order, all the generals and colonels in the army knew Zhao Ziliang's temper, although he was a little reluctant, but he still agreed to carry out the military order: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

Zhao Ziliang pointed to Zhang Tie on the left and right sides of the mountain pass and said: "Build an arrow tower on each side, each arrow tower should be able to station more than 50 people, divided into two floors, the bottom floor sleeps and rests, the upper layer resists the enemy, and the fence is set up between the two arrow towers, and a large number of stones and rolling wood should be prepared around. The garrison here levied a mountain pass construction tax on any merchant traveler who passed through here, and after the merchant traveler paid the tax, the soldiers could open the fence and refuse the horses to let them pass through, and if conditions permitted, an arched city gate could be built between the two arrow towers, on which the Kunlun Pass Pass was written! In addition, the houses over there will be repaired again, and from now on this place will be called Kunlun Pass Pass! ”

"My subordinates understand!"

After eating, Zhang Tie and his first regiment stayed, where they were going to build the arrow tower and the pass city wall, while waiting for the follow-up infantry to arrive, and Zhao Ziliang took out enough food and supplies from the wrench space, and took the other more than 2,000 cavalry down the Kunlun Pass to continue to march south, and the next stop was the Tanggula Pass.

The army lined up in a neat formation on the Kunlun Pass, Zhao Ziliang rode a Wuli horse at the front of the team, looking at the mountain pass, the reckless Kunlun stretched east and west, the ice and snow were thousands of miles, as if the jade dragon was lying horizontally.

"Ma Lu, send scouts and cavalry to go twenty miles to explore the enemy situation and terrain, and the whole army will set off!" Zhao Ziliang shouted, waved his arms, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, and Wulima trotted down the mountain, the team behind followed closely, and a team of reconnaissance cavalry quickly passed by the army and ran towards the mountain at a very fast speed.

Not long after, the sentry came to report: "General, I have found a hot spring water at the foot of the mountain ahead, the spring water is cold and sweet, and the water is transparent."

"Oh? Check it out! ”

Zhao Ziliang ordered the army to continue to advance, and let the sentinel just now lead the way to the hot spring, a large and a small spring, the spring water spurted out of the pool, forming a mushroom shape, throwing countless jasper-like petals around, like a blooming lotus, and like a silent splash of broken jade falling into a clear pool, and then running towards the surging Kunlun River.

Zhao Ziliang took out the map and compared it, and said in his heart Isn't this the unfrozen spring of the next generation? He put away the map and said to the outpost: "You go first, General Ben will follow soon!" ”

"No!"

After the sentinel left, Zhao Ziliang squatted on the edge of the hot spring and stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water, about 20 degrees, and drank a little spring water in the palm of his hand.

Zhao Ziliang immediately took out a bucket from the wrench space, put one bucket of water into one bucket, and kept hitting five hundred buckets of spring water, and only after filling all the buckets did he turn over and chase after the team.

After the army passed Wudaoliang, Zhao Ziliang was relieved, generally speaking, Wudaoliang is the most prone to altitude sickness, if you can survive here, the next road will be easy to walk, and you don't need to be careful about altitude sickness.

It is about 900 miles from Kunlun Pass to Tanggula Pass, and the Wind Crater of the Wind Volcano is in the middle of this route, with an altitude of nearly 5,000 meters, and the entire road surface and rocks of the entire pass are reddish-brown, as if they have been ruthlessly burned by fire countless times.

On the crater of the wind, the cold wind was very strong, the fiery red cloak on Zhao Ziliang's shoulders and the flags held by the standard-bearers were blown by the cold wind, and the faces of many soldiers were blown apart.

Zhao Ziliang stopped, gasped and asked, "Where is this?" ”

The guide said, "It's windy all year round, so it's called the Wind Crater."

After observing, Zhao Ziliang felt that he was a little out of breath here, presumably because the oxygen content was extremely low, and when he turned his head, most of the soldiers were also pale and had a very bad complexion.

So he said to Ma Lan: "This plateau is worthy of being a forbidden area of life, even General Ben feels a little out of breath, give the order to go down, accelerate forward, and go down the mountain early!" ”

"No!"

After the order was given, the army did not stop any longer, and went directly down the mountain from the mountain pass, leaving only a large number of horses' hooves echoing in the mountains.

On this plateau, the average altitude reaches more than 4,500 meters, the climate of the plateau sky is changing rapidly, sometimes the blue sky is like washing, sometimes the dark clouds are thick, walking through this no-man's land of Hoh Xili, you can see a large area of Tibetan antelope running everywhere.

Ma Lan saw a large number of Tibetan antelopes scattered and fled in fright by the march of the army, and excitedly shouted: "General, look, shoot some of the soldiers to beat their teeth?" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at the large herd of Tibetan antelopes, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, but when he thought that it was now a thousand-mile attack, and seizing the time was the primary purpose of some actions, he immediately shook his head and said: "Less nonsense, it's important to hurry, we have to hurry, faster, so fast that Tubo Ren can't react before we take the Tanggula Pass!" Pass the order, everyone change horses and move forward at full speed! ”

"No!" Ma Luan's expression was frozen, and he immediately agreed: "Obey!" (To be continued.) )
