Datang Library

Everyone was silent, Calabash Boy and the others knew Master's plan, Li Chengdao didn't want to kill people at all, he wanted to save people, only Li Yuanba had the temper to clean up the traitors, but for this kind of thing, if the person involved Bai Fan didn't speak, he naturally wouldn't will ask.

"Chengdao, go back with peace of mind, Li Mingxin will not die, but there is Li Xinzhong who kills people without batting an eyelid by his side. He was the one who planned the robbery of immortal food in the Yangtze River. If you go, you will definitely be killed."

After arranging the matter of delivering the letter and persuading his disciples, Bai Fan was worried, and told Jin Wangfu and the eldest sister of the Bai family to see Li Chengdao dead, not to let him secretly go to the southwest.

At the same time, the public opinion in the court rioted because of Bai Fan's order to ignore it, even the officials and ministers who had always been friends expressed their incomprehension.

In the minds of the common people and the courtiers, those who came out of Zhongnan Academy are geniuses and elites, how can ordinary people win?At this time, it was the time when the disciples of the academy were going to catch the thief, but it was puzzling that Lan Tianhou ordered to prohibit the killing of members of the same sect.

Li Er in the palace looked at a pile of memorials accusing Bai Fan at his hand, pondered for a long time, but didn't figure out why Bai Fan acted abnormally.

"Those fanning the flames, go and find out who is behind them." Without looking back, these words were addressed to the servant boss Gao.

Old Gao Yingnuo hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to invite Lord Hou to come and talk about it..."

"No, I'll wait for him to come.

This fight is fine, I also want to see the strength of the imperial army, to see if a disciple of Zhongnan can bring the dead back to life. "

On the southwestern battlefield, it was already a month ago when the battle broke out. Li Ji made a mine thrower, and he did not hesitate to blast the thunder. Tens of thousands of thunderstorms poured directly on the city of Yizhou, suppressing the Tubo defenders for half an hour. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the armored vehicle rushed into the city gate, buried the mountain explosives, and directly blew up the cement wall of Sizhou.

This is the method Li Ji learned from the Kaishan road construction team when he passed the Shu Road, and he came up with the idea of ​​breaking cement with explosives.

But before the city was guarded by Thunderbolt, the armored vehicles couldn't drive in at all. The armored vehicles of the Tang Dynasty were built to block the bows and crossbows at the top of the city, and the iron sheets couldn't stop the grenades, so it was dragged to the research of trebuchets and bombers. The combination of sky and thunder.

The two big moves caught Yizhou by surprise. Li Xinzhong knew it was bad when he saw it was not good, so he retreated immediately. 3000 people led the way out from the west gate with the remaining thunderbolts, protecting the injured Li Mingxin and rushing back all the way. Tubo Plateau.

In order to prevent the dog from jumping over the wall in a hurry, Li Ji did not encircle the city of Yizhou. It has been seven days since [-] soldiers who had successfully detoxified were transferred from Yizhou. Except for these soldiers, other soldiers of the Tang Dynasty really couldn't stand the altitude sickness.

Li Xinzhong ran all the way like a frightened bird, and Li Mingxin, who was injured on the road, spoke up.

"Brother, you can't retreat to the end, you have to leave a trap to block the enemy."

Li Xinzhong was pleasantly surprised. When he first asked about his younger brother's knowledge, his younger brother hesitated and said nothing. Today, he thought he was injured and disappointed, and he had resentment towards Datang, and he was about to show off.

"Brother, now we have no soldiers or generals, we have to go back to the capital and have [-] thunderbolts in hand to keep us safe." Li Xinzhong pretended to comfort him.

"No, we still have a batch of bombardment mines. I have a way to set up mine traps. I set them up as minefields on the main road where the Tang army attacked. We only need three small minefields to ensure that the Tang army will not dare to cross half a step."

Li Xinzhong was overjoyed, "Okay, brother, tell me quickly."

A few days later, the Tang army rushed to the plateau like a rainbow. This group of soldiers was full of resentment towards Tubo. They were almost killed by Tubo. Unable to wash.

Unexpectedly, before reaching Yuji City, the landmine pit left by Li Mingxin caused heavy casualties. As a last resort, Marshal Li Ji ordered to stop the march again.

Li Ji knew about landmines, but didn't this thing only survive in Datang's hands?Could it be that Li Mingxin was able to produce landmines in such a short period of time?If it's true, it's absolutely terrifying.

It's a pity that I didn't pay much attention to landmines before, and I didn't know much about them, and the generals only talked about the use of landmines in the class, and didn't talk about mine clearance and bomb disposal. After all, everything is in the hands of Datang. Should we plant mines ourselves?

In the capital of Tubo, Li Xinzhong listened to his brother's news, his eyes shined brightly, not to mention the martial arts and literature that Li Mingxin said, just because he learned how to make gunpowder, it was worth exchanging the whole of Tubo for him.

Gunpowder and the like are kept secret in the academy. Li Mingxin learned it by stealing it all by himself. Even Bai Fan didn't know it. If he knew that this kid was learning military secrets secretly, he probably wouldn't let him out at all. Obviously this Li Mingxin also There was a personal little Jiujiu, otherwise, what would you do to learn military and gunpowder just to strengthen your strength?

"Brother, there is one thing that I don't understand. I tried it myself. The Thunderbolt couldn't break through a two-foot-thick concrete wall. Why did the Tang Dynasty blow up our Sizhou City?" Li Xinzhong asked.

"That's definitely not Thunderbolt. It's the Kaishan Explosives used in Kaishan. The control is extremely strict, and I don't know how to make it. It's ten times more powerful than Thunderbolt."

"Hey, we don't have such a sharp weapon, isn't it because we have been suppressed and beaten all the time?

Moreover, we only have [-] stocks of Hong Tianlei, and sooner or later it will be useful, and the situation will be bad. "

Of course Li Mingxin knew what his brother said, wasn't he just afraid that he wouldn't do his best?Now that the war has started, there is absolutely no possibility of turning back. My brother is right, the hatred of extermination must be reported.

"Brother, don't worry, Thunderbolt is made of gunpowder. I can make it after a little research. In addition, I can also make professional landmines for defense.

It's just that I haven't learned the mountain-opening explosives, and it takes time to study and study.

But for now we are not a problem. "

Chapter 8 Nineteen: The Messenger Arrives

In front of the Tubo official road in the southwest, Li Ji had already started to get angry. There were constant mines on the road, and the forced march suffered a lot of losses, which greatly weakened the confidence of the soldiers. Several groups of demining teams were organized, but the enemy laid mines very methodically. You don't need to doubt it, it must be the new Li Mingxin's countermeasure.

Even if Li Ji had a good temper, he couldn't hold back his anger at this time. He thought that Bai Fan would send a helper, but unexpectedly he sent an enemy, no less than Li Xinzhong's enemy. If he went to the front line at this time, Seal the memorial to the emperor, saying that there is no dispute that Bai Fan is an enemy.

Seeing that autumn has already entered, if it enters winter, the severe cold on the plateau will make it impossible to fight, but the attack is not good right now, even if it is to ask for help, it is extremely inconvenient to transmit information, and it will take forty days at the fastest to go back and forth.

The 20 troops of the Tang Dynasty wandered in place for [-] days, and a person came to the camp. He was the messenger sent by Bai Fan, the boss of Huluwa, Hong Dali.

"The last general, Hong Dali, pays his respects to the commander in chief."

Hong Dali still had a position in the army, so he didn't dare to be disrespectful when he met the current number one man in the army.

Seeing that it was an old man in the army, Li Ji thought it was the reinforcements sent by Bai Fan, and his dissatisfaction eased, he nodded and said: "Well, General Hong came at the right time, the army is now in a stalemate against Tubo.

It's time for your kind of support. "

Hong Dali said loudly: "Report to Commander, it will be sent by our teacher..."

Before Hong Dali could finish speaking, Li Ji laughed and interrupted: "Okay, I know that Jane has the country in mind, and won't watch the soldiers die, and won't let the thieves run rampant..."

Hong Dali was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but interrupted: "Marshal, the last general came here to deliver a letter to Li Mingxin under the order of his teacher.

The family teacher has passed down the words, the disciples of the academy are not allowed to kill each other, so please forgive me, the general, the last general left after delivering the letter, unable to participate in the war. "

Li Ji seemed to be stuck in the throat by a fishbone in an instant, and he was sluggish for a long time, his face turned from red to black, as if the clouds were thick and the sky was about to roll.

"presumptuous!

What kind of bullshit is this?

Hong Dali, you are bold, this commander asked you, are you my fifth rank general in Datang? "

Hong Dali was a little embarrassed by Li Ji's tantrum, which meant that Li Ji had a hard relationship with his master, and it would not be an exaggeration for him to be taken down by a strange general.

After hesitating for a while, Hong Dali said weakly: "Back to Commander, the final general will be the Fifth Rank General of the Tang Dynasty."

"Okay, it's fine if you accept this, although you don't have any armor today, but as a general of the Tang Dynasty, if there is a war in the Tang Dynasty, you are obliged to do so.

This Commander is the Secretary of the Ministry of War of the Tang Dynasty. Now I order you to be the vanguard of the former army and be responsible for attacking the main force of the Tubo former army. "

With Li Ji's command, Hong Dali's feet softened in fright, and he said with embarrassment: "But, Commander, Master..."

"Bastard, Bai Fan is only a general in the army, how can he command a general?

On the battlefield of the Tang Dynasty, how dare you not obey the command of the commander, but take the order of a private teacher?Do you know military law? "

I, I... Hong Dali felt that he was at a loss for words, his face flushed red with anxiety and he didn't know how to refute.
