Chapter 2045 A thick pink emerges from the valley outside Jianchuan City
Cheng Chubi put his hands behind his back and carefully looked at the yak trail. After a long time, he nodded slightly.
"We must set up an ambush here, but we also need to set up an ambush in those two valleys."
"After all, it is stated in the letter of war we issued to the Tubo people that our Zhaoxun coalition forces will rush to Black Sheep Beach to fight against the Tubo barbarian army."
"It's just to lure the Tibetans, thinking that they are sure of victory, and give them a chance to surround more than 30,000 of us here."
After hearing Cheng Chubi's words, Ren Yaxiang gasped with toothache and shook his head frequently.
"Brother Chu Bi, you are taking risks..."
Cheng Chubi laughed, patted Ren Yaxiang's generous shoulder and said.
"Haha, brother Yaxiang, do you think those good treasures prepared by Mr. Cheng can't deal with these Tubo barbarians?"
When Ren Yaxiang thought of the earth-shattering power of those good treasures that Cheng Sanlang had tested before, he felt terrified just thinking about it.
And it just so happens that this guy Cheng Sanlang has brought so many wonderful treasures that it makes one’s head go numb.
Ren Yaxiang was even a little worried that if those things encountered an open flame, they would directly blow up the entire Jianchuan City.
Seeing Ren Yaxiang's dumbfounded and frightened look, Cheng Sanlang twisted his mouth and almost revealed an evil and cool smile.
Come on, we are standing on a steep ridge at this moment, it is really not suitable to be cool.
Cheng Chubi called Cheng Jie over, pointing to the valley below and whispering to Cheng Jie.
Cheng Jie nodded frequently while listening. He never thought that his own military guards were the protagonists of this war.
The Cheng family is over eighty, the Fang family is also seventy or eighty, and Li Ke, His Highness the King of Wu, has over a hundred guards.
The special operations that Cheng Sanlang wants to carry out will use these battle-hardened, loyal, and highly skilled personal guards.
Cheng Sanlang would personally lead the Cheng family to ambush the main force of the Tibetan people on this yak road.
Li De will lead sixty Wu King guards to ambush on the winding snake road, while Fang Cheng will lead most of the Fang family to ambush on the steep and rugged stone ridge road.
As for Fang Jun and Ren Yaxiang, they will stay in the camp, accompany the prince Li Ke, and preside over and command the army.
After leaving the yak road, Cheng Sanlang rode straight towards Jianchuan City and returned to the temporary governor's mansion.
At this moment, Li Ke seemed a little nervous and anxious as he walked back and forth in the hall.
After seeing Cheng Sanlang and Ren Yaxiang returning, they strode forward to greet them.
"Brother Chu Bi, how's it going?"
"Don't worry, the ambush location on Yak Road has been determined today. We will try to transport those weapons there in advance later."
Cheng Chubi took off the hat on his head, revealing his face with almost wheat-colored skin.
"As long as we have enough gunpowder weapons, those Tibetans will be able to come and not be able to go back."
"Brother Chu Bi, of course I know what you are capable of, but I am a little worried. After being ambushed, those Tibetan soldiers and horses rushed forward regardless of casualties, or retreated. What should I do?
how?"
"If our 30,000 soldiers and horses really encounter the Tibetan elite who are desperate for their lives, they will not be able to withstand it."
Fang Jun on the side opened his mouth, but in the end he could only nod his head angrily.
Although he wanted to refute it, these soldiers were indeed not on the same level as the real elites.
"Brother, you don't have to worry. Cheng has already considered this. It's better to choose a different day. I'll take you to see a treasure now."
"..." Seeing Brother Chu Bi's elated expression, the three members of the Yaozhou Governor's Office could only follow Cheng Sanlang's footsteps.
In a short time, I arrived at the independent courtyard where Cheng Sanlang lived. At this moment, I was in the open space inside the independent courtyard.
Deng Chengxin, Cheng Fa, Cheng Da and about ten other Cheng family members were carefully pressing the cakes one by one.
These cake-shaped objects all present an attractive creamy yellow color, and you pick up this palm-sized cake-shaped object, which is nearly an inch thick, and bring it to your nose to smell it.
You can smell the strong sweet smell of sugar, a faint smell of saltpeter, and a slightly pungent smell of sulfur.

"Brother Chu Bi, what the hell are these? They smell like sugar, but they also smell like other things. Is this the treasure you're talking about?"
Li Ke stepped forward first, imitated Cheng Sanlang and picked up a piece, brought it to his nose and smelled it, then looked at Cheng Sanlang with a confused look on his face.
"Hey, it really tastes like sugar. Is it for food?"
After smelling it, Fang Jun looked at the thing, eager to take a bite.
"No, no, no, you all guessed wrong. This thing is a good treasure that I plan to use to block the march of the Tibetan barbarians and put them in a dilemma."
Cheng Chubi chuckled and looked at the yellow square cakes.
"This kind of treasure is called smoke cake. It's a pity that the raw materials are insufficient, otherwise I can make thick smoke that can burn various colors."
"Satisfactory. Take five cakes of a kind of tobacco cake and follow me. Let's go out of the city to find a secluded place so that you brothers can gain some knowledge."
#####
Two-quarters of an hour later, they arrived at a valley outside Jianchuan City. Li Ke and others saw Cheng Sanlang leaping off his horse.
Then he took out a creamy yellow cigarette cake wrapped in white paper from the package on the horse's butt.
He saw Cheng Sanlang picking up the cigarette cake, taking the lit fire seal from Deng Chengxin's hand, and gestured towards the cigarette cake.
Then, he saw the cigarette cake in Cheng Sanlang's hand, which instantly started to emit billowing white smoke. After Cheng Sanlang put the thing on a stone, he backed away continuously.
Li Ke and others saw it. The tobacco cake, which was slightly larger than a palm, seemed to have transformed into a chimney.
The smoke coming out and the strong smell of sulfur made them have to cover their noses quickly and retreat frequently.
At this time, I saw Brother Chu Bi jumping to the other side, picking up a piece of cigarette cake mixed with some unknown stuff, lighting it and throwing it away.
He took out another piece, lit it, and continued to throw it. After throwing four or five pieces in a row, Cheng Sanlang, who could no longer hold his breath, threw away all the pieces, spread his legs and ran away.
At this moment, Li Ke and others, who had already wisely retreated ten feet away, looked at the scene that looked even weirder than the white smoke just now.
The pink smoke was so intense that it completely obscured the entire valley and began to spread in all directions.
Yes, you are not blind, and you are not wrong. The smoke coming out of that thing is the special pink color...
