Isn't this worthy of the teachings of the ancestors?Weidi has already made up his mind that no matter whether he wins or loses, he will fight with his back to the wall. "Li Mingxin insisted.

Li Xinzhong nodded, and he didn't want to withdraw without a fight. It seems that he can only rely on this cheap brother at present.

One month later, when the ice and snow melted and the weather turned warmer, the Tang Dynasty sent troops to the west after finishing their mobilization. The first stop was the Tubo army camp twenty miles west of Medog City.

Seeing that the Tang army was dispatched, the Tubo side was waiting in full force, and the camp that had been set up for many days was about to test its strength today.

The guard looked at the [-] Tang troops who were moving slowly. Although he was in a panic, he pointed at the flag before the battle, and projected thunderbolts to resist the enemy from a long distance.

If both sides are catapults and thunderbolts, basically the range is the same, then it is definitely not an advantage, and each other will be killed or injured, which is a result of mutual losses.

However, the Tang Dynasty has not been idle for a month. The Mohist elite led by Feng Zhiyu abandoned the old and heavy catapults and directly refitted the bed crossbow (called the cart crossbow in Tang Dynasty), changing the bed crossbow that launched the siege crossbow to launch the bombardment Ray's bed crossbow.

Not only perfect fit, but also increase the accuracy and effectiveness of the shooting range, which is twice as far as the effective distance of the catapult. The general range of the catapult is 300 meters, and the range of the bed crossbow is 600 meters. The catapult and bed crossbow improved by Mohist It is more advanced and has a longer range, especially the bed crossbow. After changing the crossbow bolt to a single thunderbolt with light weight, the maximum range can reach 800 meters, and the condescending height can reach 1000 meters, so Feng Zhiyu called it a ballista.

Seeing the enemy using a catapult to condescendingly fire thunderbolts, the vanguard general Yuchi Baolin pointed his sword, "The ballista is ready, a round of test firing!"

In the past, Datang used catapults to cooperate with Hongtianlei. In order to ensure the range and stability of the catapult, Hongtianlei was used in bundles of ten or twenty. The number of bombs dropped remains the same, but it is denser and more precise, so the power is stronger.

A total of [-] soldiers were stationed in the Tubo camp. They had just launched a round of catapults to blast the sky, but they were surprised to see the Tang army standing still, and they all lined up and stood motionless outside the range of the catapults.

This makes people curious, isn't the Datang people going to attack?An army of [-] roared in, just to stand in the distance and watch us throw thunderbolts?Is it fun to watch a play together?

The Tubo general was a little puzzled, and then he had an idea, and suddenly realized, well, it turns out that they are pretending to attack, and they want to deliberately consume our Thunderbolt!

Hmph, what a despicable Tang people, so insidious, it's a pity, after our Tubo has the second son, we can already make thunder by ourselves.

Just when the Tubo general secretly felt proud that he had seen everything, the Tang army on the opposite side changed, and it seemed to become much sparser. Is this going to retreat?

After the bed crossbow was modified, it was lighter and more compact than the catapult, so it could not be seen clearly from a distance of a thousand meters. The Tubo side thought that the Tang Dynasty had changed, but in fact the front team gave up and the ballista stepped forward.

After Yuchi Baolin ordered a round of test firing, eight hundred ballistas were fired at once, and a cluster of dense black spots immediately appeared in the sky, heading straight for the top of the Tubo camp.

That is? ? ?The Tubo soldiers looked up one after another.

After the rapid booming thunder flew more than 500 meters in the air within three seconds, a series of explosions occurred immediately, and then the shrapnel burst in the air, like a goddess scattering flowers, sprinkled all over the sky at a very high speed. In that scene, eight hundred thunders The visual sense of being able to shoot a rain of [-] bullets.

The battlefield is cruel, but even if they are used to the tragic scenes of mountains of swords and seas of fire, the [-] troops of Datang's side can hardly imagine whether the scene in front of them is real.

Eight hundred thunders passed by, and at the same time as the explosion, what was invisible to the naked eye was the hidden danger, and all that could be seen was a black mist falling on the enemy's formation, and then the enemy troops who were all standing fell down collectively, without a sound , and even the screams are very few, this is the perspective of Datang.

It would be even more cruel to switch to the perspective of the Tubo side. The enemy's thunder can be thrown so far above our heads?

This was the last thought of the Tubo side. Afterwards, what the neighboring Tubo soldiers saw was blood flowers, and the robes were shrouded in a black mist. It was reported, and then the army around him collapsed collectively.

Everyone is like being pierced by thousands of arrows, no, it is more cruel than that, because thousands of arrows do not have this kind of penetrating power, poor brothers in the same robe, they are still holding on in anger one second, and have no life in the next second. Is it really a battlefield?Very strange battlefield.

Datang Wei Chi Baolin saw it, good guy, this new equipment is very useful. If the enemy camp is compared to cloth, our [-] ballistas are fire nets. One net will burn a big hole, and even the fish that slip through the net will not some.

"Three rapid-fire shots!"

If Bai Fan was here, he would definitely clap his hands and hit his forehead. The small grenade was actually played like a mortar by the boys of Datang. It is really a talent.

"Flee, run away!" Seeing the black spots flying here, the Tubo general exclaimed, turned his horse and ran wildly, regardless of whether there were infantry around him, even if the horse trampled on the living, he had to run away first. Datang's side is like bringing death's scythe, harvesting a large area at a time, which is too scary.

In a quarter of an hour, the [-] Tubo army fled completely, leaving about [-] corpses in place. The first battle of the Tang Dynasty was completely won.

Yuchi Baolin withdrew the army of the bed crossbow battalion and replaced it with the bombing battalion commanded by Cheng Huaimo. In a quarter of an hour, he bombed and bombed all the open space between the Datang and Tubo camps, broke the enemy's minefields, and then fell ill quickly, chasing after Tubo Deserters, in this way, they will not be afraid that the enemy will have minefields again. These are all strategies calculated by the Datang army division battalion. From the facts, they are exactly the same.

Li Ji and Li Yuanji looked at each other as they saw the undead attacking the city and conquering the territory. The young generation of Tang Dynasty has achieved today's record, and the climate has become a reality.

Chapter 835 It's Like a Broken Bamboo

In some cities, Li Mingxin, who was directing the transportation team to go out of the city to supervise the battle, ran into the front-line emergency messenger. Datang suddenly launched an attack, and the Tubo frontline camp was breached in less than half a day.

What? ? ?

The news was reported loudly by the courier at the gate of the city. Before Li Mingxin could ask what was going on, the courier was hacked to death by Li Xinzhong who came in anger.

"This person is a spy of the Tang Dynasty. He was bribed by the Tang Dynasty. Rumors have brought disaster to the country. Come here to thoroughly investigate whether there are any enemy spies in the city? Once found, they will be killed immediately."

He made a decisive decision without even leaving a chance to explain, and sent troops to kill people, and his personal guards went to dispatch troops to monitor the city. They said they were searching the remaining spies in the city, but in fact it was just to prevent the spread of rumors. I'm afraid it won't be over until Datang invades Tubo.

Li Mingxin looked at his elder brother without saying a word. He knew this messenger. He was the personal guard of the frontline guard. He was not a spy. His elder brother's move was just to stabilize the country.

But it is true that the front line is in a hurry. Since Datang broke through the front line of 2 people in Tubo, I don't know where it has been fighting these days.

The two Li Xinzhong brothers looked at each other, and delayed going to support, waiting for scouts to be dispatched to understand the military situation and formulate countermeasures.

Soldiers are precious and fast. Datang Cheng Huaimo and others are veterans who are familiar with the battlefield. Li Mingxin is just a novice who has been studying for several years. In this first round of confrontation, Li Mingxin has lost the opportunity before he makes a move.

I thought that with enough thunder and minefields, Tubo would not be defenseless, but the reality is in front of us. Datang's cards and combat power should never be underestimated, especially Zhongnan, the top player in the Tang Dynasty. Academy shot.

One day later, the latest news came from the front line. Datang's journey was like a broken bamboo, and wherever it went, it was like entering a land of no one. Hit the capital of the Tubo Kingdom and fell into the city.

The Li brothers were no longer as calm as before. Datang was attacking too fast, how could they be garrisoned?

"Brother, for the current plan, the only way to greatly slow down the enemy's attack is to release all the Thunderbolts and arrange the five-day journey into the capital as a minefield.

Although it is possible to accidentally injure some Tubo people, but if the country does not survive, it is nothing to worry about, just some barbarians. " Li Mingxin suggested.

"You mean to make Datang exhausted from clearing the mines and unable to march?

No, the scouts came to report that the enemy no longer clears the mines by hand, but blasts them all the way to clear the way. Even if we plant all the mines, it won't last long. "Li Xinzhong said distressedly.

"Then compare who has more Thunderbolts."

"Heh, heh, my silly brother, do you think you can despise everything because you know how to make Thunderbolt?

You didn't conjure up the Thunderbolt out of thin air. It was able to keep you working all winter. It was already a resource for my brother in Tubo.

Competing resources with Datang, a great country?Not to mention anything else, we don't even have much pig iron to make thunder now. "

Li Xinzhong is in charge of the country's finances and logistics. His words directly poured cold water on Li Mingxin. No resources?Then what are you fighting for?

After pondering for a long time, Li Xinzhong said: "It seems that only strong men have broken their wrists. There are three natural dangers along the way from Medog to Luoxie City. Now Datang has got one. We still have a lot of high-explosive gunpowder on the official road of the canyon that is about three miles long, and by blowing up the three-mile canyon and abandoning half of the mountains and rivers to the east of Tubo, we can keep the city of an inch of land in the west."

Li Xinzhong is also a ruthless person, and he directly gave up half of the territory of Tubo. If the Tang Dynasty is blocked, the only remaining connection is with Tianzhu, but the west and Tianzhu are separated by the entire Himalayas. less than.

"They have gunpowder in their hands, and the three-mile-long canyon may not be able to block it." Li Mingxin said in a deep voice.

Now that he has a powerless sense of frustration, he just wants to find a place for his tribe to survive and multiply. Why is everyone in Datang pressing against each other so hard and not giving an inch?If you want to die, don't you give the Li clan in Longxi a way out?What did our Longxi Li clan do wrong?

"If it is still unstoppable, there is still the last natural danger in Tubo, the Zang River (Brahmarlung Zangbo River) between Luoxi City and Pibo City.

If this is still unstoppable, then you still have the life of a brother, and you will take your clansmen away from home when the time comes. As long as you are alive, we have the possibility of revenge, and I will buy you time to retreat. "

Li Xinzhong's swearing made the young Li Mingxin's eyes full of tears. At this moment, for the first time, a feeling of hatred burned in Li Mingxin's heart. If Datang doesn't give our brothers a chance to survive, then let's not stop dying.
