Chapter 285: The drums of war sounded
Early morning... Li Zhan was still sleeping, and Ying Lao called in front of the door: "Childe... When they were about to get up, the scouts came to report that the vanguard cavalry of Songtsen Gampo had reached ten miles outside the city. ”
"Hmm...!" Li Zhan agreed: "I'll go to the city tower soon." ”
Hearing Li Zhan's words, Ying Lao retreated again.
Soon Li Zhan got up, and then got dressed unhurriedly, some people will ask, what is Li Zhan doing, Songtsen Gampo has been ten miles outside Lanzhou City, and it is still soaring so slowly.
Actually, it's not... When the vanguard arrives, the troops behind it will have at least half a day to a day to arrive, and the marching method of the troops fighting in ancient times is in a zigzag, and it is not an overall advance.
This zigzag means that your vanguard troops arrive, and the troops behind you must wait for a while, and it is impossible for the troops behind you to start the war before they arrive.
Therefore, Li Zhan knew that if the vanguard arrived, he still had time, there was no need to panic, Li Zhan was a messenger, he couldn't panic.
Washing, eating, wearing armor... After all the steps were completed, Li Zhan rode on the Teller Horse to the top of the city, and at this time, Li Jing, Li Daliang, Hou Junji, Li Daozong, and Xue Wanche had already arrived at the top of the city tower.
The men were looking at a big guy wrapped in cloth.
That's right, this big guy wrapped in cloth is Li Zhan's bed crossbow, and as soon as Li Zhan got off the horse, he heard Xue Wanche say: "Oops... What the hell is this, it's so big, it's that big siege engine, right? ”
"Mr. Li, you can open it and show us, what the hell is this thing?" Li Daozong looked at Li Jingdao.
"Huh...!" Li Jing smiled and shook his head: "I don't have the right to uncover this cloth, this is a weapon that Li Qincha secretly asked someone to build, and I will rely on this weapon to make a name for myself today." ”
"Oh... It was built by Li Qincha, then I know...! Hou Junji laughed.
"What do you know?" Li Daliang looked at Hou Junji and asked.
"Of course I know, this is supposed to be a ranged attack weapon, similar to a crossbow...!" Hou Junji said hehehe.
"That's right...!" At this time, Li Zhan came over and said, "It's called a bed crossbow... Manager Li, open it and let the generals see the great gift I prepared for Songtsen Gampo. ”
"Good...!" Li Jing smiled slightly, and then directly tore the cloth wrapped around the bed crossbow... Then a large, swarthy bed crossbow appeared in front of everyone.
"Wow...!" Not only the general, but even the soldiers who saw it around were amazed.
Li Zhan walked to the bed crossbow with a smile and introduced with a smile: "Generals... This is the bed crossbow... The range is 1000 steps...! ”
"1000 steps...!" The four generals were again horrified.
"Oh my God... There are still 1,000 crossbow arrows in the world, so if you want to use this crossbow arrow to snipe the enemy's main general by surprise, then the opponent will not live long with no matter how many lives. Xue Wanche was silent.
Then I listened to Li Daozong, Li Daliang, and Hou Junji and said in horror: "Snipe Songtsan Gampo!" ”
"Haha... Everybody knows! Li Jing stroked his beard and smiled: "Li Qincha is really powerful, he directly created this monster in a short period of time, with a range of 1000 steps, yesterday I have intuitively felt the horror of this bed crossbow, this time Songtsan Gampo only needs to show his head, then Lanzhou is the place where he is buried." ”
"Good...!" The other generals shouted hello together.
Then, like Li Jing, looking at the bed crossbow that Li Zhan had just made, Hou Junji touched the crossbow body of the bed and smiled: "Li Qincha, is Zhao Hai the shooter of this bed crossbow?" ”
"Ahh Li Zhan didn't know what Hou Junji was doing at this time, but Li Zhan still nodded and said, "That's right... The soul of this bed crossbow is Zhao Hai, he is a shooter, without him, the power of the bed crossbow is at least half less. ”
"Huh...!" Hou Junji smiled very happily: "Is that it, after the battle, this bed crossbow will belong to me." ”
"Uh...!" Li Zhan was thinking about it.
Xue Wanche on the side glared at him and said: "General Hou, Sven is not good at all, the shooter is yours, and the bed crossbow is yours, you are too domineering, such a good weapon as the bed crossbow must belong to a pioneer like me, you are a logistics, so you don't need such a good offensive weapon." ”
"Hey...! Who is Logistics? "Hou Junji is unhappy.
It's just that before Lao Hou had time to argue, Li Daozong on the side laughed: "The bed crossbow is mine, I will personally ask Your Majesty for it!" ”
"Phew...!" Li Daliang scolded: "What our army lacks most is long-range offensive weapons, and Your Majesty will definitely give them to us." ”
"What are you doing... They all say that the shooter is mine, you guys are such scoundrels? ”
"The shooter is your bed, and the crossbow is yours, what's so great about your old marquis."
"I don't care... I will definitely apply to Your Majesty. ”
"Are you interesting... The weapon we are most lacking, you also want to grab it? ”
.............................
Li Zhan looked at the scene in front of him with some tears and laughter, but Li Jing smiled slightly: "BMW is a good general, in fact, this weapon is the same, the general sees a good weapon, and he also wants to fight desperately." ”
Listening to Li Jing's words, Li Zhan also laughed and said, "Generals... You don't actually have to fight, after you go back, I will ask Your Majesty to produce this kind of bed crossbow in large quantities, and at that time, all of you will have it. ”
"Really...?" The four generals all looked at Li Zhan.
Li Zhan smiled and nodded, so that the four generals did not continue to fight.
It's noon... The Tubo army on the opposite side was finally all gathered, and the drums of first-level combat readiness sounded in Lanzhou City, and everyone was already in place, and the war was about to break out.
At this time, the Tibetan army in front was eating!
Li Jing came to Li Zhan's side at this time and said: "This is the tranquility before the war, wait a minute, Qincha or don't stay in the city tower, because of the danger, Qincha goes downstairs, we can fight to the death." ”
However, Li Zhan shook his head and said, "That's not good, I have to be here, because I'm going to hook out Songtsen Gampo later!" ”、
"This...!" Li Jing had no choice but to nod and said, "Then Qincha must be careful, if you are injured, we can't go back and explain to Your Majesty." ”
"Huh...!" Li Zhan smiled: "Manager Li, don't worry, I'll be fine." ”
At this very moment... Suddenly, the horn sounded opposite Tubo, Li Jing was startled, and hurriedly said: "Qincha, this horn sound is the horn of Tubo's assembly, and when the assembly is completed, there will be a general attack." ”
"Drumming... Gather the generals, prepare to meet the enemy...! ”
As soon as Li Zhan's words fell, Li Jing shouted: "Beat the drum... Ju General...! ”
"Knock" "Knock" "Knock" "Knock"
All of a sudden, the sound of war drums came from the Lanzhou Tower... Not far away, Songtsen Gampo heard the sound of war drums on the tower of Lanzhou City, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said: "This Qincha is really not small, but soon, this Qincha will become my subordinate prisoner, at that time, I will make him my slave, and he will never be able to turn over!" ”
