The warm wind swept over the Tanggula Mountains, and the morning glow was brilliant, shrouding a military camp in the wilderness. The densely packed tents were neatly arranged next to each other, with smoke curling from cooking stoves, people neighing and horses barking, and it was so lively.
In the central army tent, Lun Qinling came out, facing the sun, Shen Lesheng slouched, his bones crackling, he patted his stiff arms, turned his head and neck, and felt more comfortable. He was about to pass the meal when a man hurried away. Come, look anxious and uneasy.
"What happened?" Lun Qinling asked with some dissatisfaction.
"Coming back to the commander, more than a dozen military camps suffered unexplained sneak attacks last night. The generals, food, and fodder were all severely damaged. In one camp, tens of thousands of horses were frightened and their whereabouts are unknown. Now the morale of the army is low, and everyone is panicked and uneasy. It is said that it is a punishment from the gods."
"What...what do you mean?"
Lun Qinling was a little confused for a moment. He didn't understand what he said, but he felt uneasy in his heart.
The visitor bravely explained the situation again and was prepared to bear the anger.
Lun Qinling heard this clearly this time and was shocked. He grabbed the opponent's collar and shouted: "Are you saying that someone attacked our military camps last night and we suffered heavy losses?"
"Yes, there were a total of twenty sneak attacks. Some assassinated our generals, some burned the food and grass, and some kidnapped the horses. These people's methods are covert, they come and go without a trace, and they are hard to detect. It is suspected that the gods are coming to punish us."
"Asshole, God will only stand on the side of justice and protect the people who believe in him. How can he punish us? It's the Hanzhou Army who is attacking us. Damn it, they actually resorted to such despicable means? Fight back, we have to fight back. We will also sneak up on you." Lun Qinling roared.
"Yes, fight back!" The other party's scalp was numb from being scolded, and he replied with a stiff neck.
"If we run out of food and grass, we can replenish it. Who has been assassinated?"
The man quickly said: "Eleven lords will be killed."
"What? Are they all dead, waiting to be killed?"
On Qin Ling's face, the killing of eleven generals means that the eleven armies are temporarily without command and need to be re-appointed. Soldiers are easy to find, but generals are hard to find. Tubo already lacks brave and strategic generals. At this time Where can we find the general in a while?
"Damn it, they deserve to die. They don't even know if they are touched in the military camp. They are all useless trash." Lun Qinling became angrier as he thought about it and cursed a few times, but the matter still had to be dealt with and the morale of the soldiers still had to be appeased.
"Drumming, gather the generals!"
On Qinling's side, he pushed away the intruders and entered the Chinese army's tent with a sullen face. He kicked several cases over and cursed: "King of Han, you actually resorted to such vile means. Let's just wait and see and kill people." "
A general waiting at the door quickly came in.
"Come here with the secret blend of 'Dark Moon Scimitar'. I will repay the debt with blood, tooth for tooth."
"this……"
The other party hesitated for a moment, and when he saw Lun Qinling looking at him like a knife, he couldn't help but trembled, and quickly said: "My subordinates will do it right away. I'm afraid the great king won't do it?"
"If you report it truthfully and go back without revenge, the morale of the army will be difficult to stabilize. My father will agree."
"Follow the order!" the other party quickly agreed.
Soon, a flying eagle soared into the sky and flew towards the Tubo Royal City.
…
At noon, a cavalry group ran wildly along the canyon, led by the artillery battalion commander Wang Hu.
In the battle last night, each team gained a lot. The special agent was Zhang Long, who not only succeeded in beheading him, but also brought back ten thousand war horses. I heard that he received a verbal commendation from the King of Han, which made Wang Hu envious.
Finally it was the turn of the second wave of operations. Wang Hu selected fifty-five elite soldiers from the artillery camp and led the team himself, determined to fight in a big way and defeat Zhang Long. The artillery camp was the strongest presence of the Hanzhou Army.
After running wildly all morning, we are not very far away from the enemy camp. If we continue to ride forward, we will encounter scouts and expose our whereabouts. The day is no better than at night, making the operation much more difficult.
Wang Hu led his men into the woods to rest, tied up the war horses so as not to get lost, and ate some dry food. Just as he was about to leave, a soldier suddenly lay down on the ground and listened carefully. Wang Hu was very familiar with this soldier.
, raised horses since childhood and grew up in a bandit's den.
After the founding of the Tang Dynasty, bandits were suppressed everywhere, and the horse bandits were disbanded. This man lost his livelihood, wandered around, begged, and became a refugee. He was taken in by Chashan and became a soldier. Perhaps because he grew up in a horse bandit den, he had good talent.
In addition, he worked hard during training and got good grades, so he was selected into the guard corps.
After a while, Wang Hu couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Yao, what did you hear?"
"Cavalry, at least a hundred people, the horses have the same speed, the landing point is consistent, and the sound is uniform, which shows that they are well trained. When ordinary people run, the sound of horse hooves is chaotic, some are fast and some are slow."
"Elite cavalry? Could they be Tibetan scouts?"
"Definitely not. It is impossible for scouts to act with hundreds of people at once."
"Whoever he is, he is definitely not good for us, so let's kill him." Wang Hu said nonchalantly, his cold eyes swept around, and he made a decisive decision: "Disperse, ambush!"
The soldiers dispersed one after another, each found a place to hide, took out his repeating crossbows and grenades, and prepared for battle.
When fighting an ambush, everyone is more professional!
Soon, the sound of horse hooves came closer, hitting the ground in unison, uniformly, and the roar directly touched people's hearts.
Immediately afterwards, a cavalry appeared in everyone's sight. The horses were powerful and had chainmail armor on their heads. The man on the horse was dressed in black and wore a black mask, which seemed a bit mysterious and strange.
When Wang Hu saw that this uniform was not that of the Hanzhou Army, and that the other party did not look like a good person, he immediately ordered: "Give me the order, let's get ready for a wave of grenades first."
The soldiers around him quickly passed on the order, word of mouth, and soon everyone knew about it.
At this moment, the cavalry rushed up, and many people looked at the woods suspiciously, as if they had discovered something. Wang Hu saw that this group of people was not simple, and without waiting for the other party to react, he ordered: "Grenade, light it!"
"
The soldiers were well prepared and quickly lit the grenade fuse.
The man in black noticed something was wrong. The leader suddenly drew his sword and pointed at the woods. Everyone pulled their horses' heads and rushed towards the woods. Their movements were uniform and their reactions were extremely fast.
"Such a strong adaptability. Who is this person?"
A thought flashed through Wang Hu's mind, and he immediately shouted: "Explode——"
"Boohoo!"
Throw the grenades one by one and explode when they hit the ground.
"Boom boom boom!"
Terrifying fireballs shot up into the sky, engulfing the horses and sending people flying out.
"Liannu, kill!"
Wang Hu roared loudly, raised his crossbow and fired. The soldiers also took action one after another, reacting extremely quickly.
The crossbow arrows shot at the man in black with great accuracy.
The men in black were caught off guard, but they did not panic and reacted very quickly. They dismounted and hid on the other side of the horse to avoid being shot by crossbow bolts while urging them to get closer.
"Son of a bitch, if you have something, let's fry it again!"
Wang Hu made a decisive decision, took out a grenade, lit it, and threw it at the feet of his horse.
The soldiers followed suit one after another, and the grenades rolled down and exploded into fireballs that shot up into the sky. The man in black could not hide himself. The bombed flesh and blood flew all over the sky, and blood was sprinkled wildly, but no one shouted out. It was so terrifying.
