Chapter 215: Shocking Explosion

In the dry yellow earth, a few vultures stopped on the branches of a dead tree to watch the army pass by, and looked at the army.

Su Dingfang looked at his rear, and could see the black oppressive army from a distance, and the scouts rushed to report and came to Wei Chigong, "Report, Gu Shenzhi's 50,000 elite soldiers have arrived." ”

"Good!" Wei Chigong only said one word, but he was full of confidence.

Gu Qing led the army to the foot of Qilian Mountain, brought a lot of baggage, grain and grass, and walked in front of Wei Chigong, "See the general!" ”

"Good, good, good." Wei Chigong said hello three more times.

Gu Qing stood up and came to Su Ding's side, "I'm sorry for you, let's give Tubo a little color next." ”

"Hmm!" Su Dingfang nodded and didn't say anything.

Yang Sheng looked at the soldiers of Qilian Mountain, the atmosphere of the entire Qilian Mountain was very bad, and the soldiers were already too tired after several bloody battles.

With the new grain and grass and the replenishment of soldiers, which added some vitality to the originally lifeless Qilian Mountain, Gu Qing rode a horse with Su Dingfang and Wei Chigong and looked at the Tubo army in the distance.

"How many soldiers and horses do they have?" Gu Qing asked.

"There are tens of thousands of war elephants, and the number of soldiers and horses has been increasing by at least 200,000." Su Dingfang's expression was solemn.

"Let the soldiers build fortifications, and rushing is no match for them." Gu Qing looked at the army of Tubo black.

Su Dingfang looked at Gu Qing strangely, "Do you want us to build a city here?"

"It's not!" Gu Qing said, and rode his horse back to arrange people to build fortifications.

The whole army began to get busy, and a team of dozens of Tibetan soldiers and horses rode over, boom! Seeing the Tibetan soldiers and horses coming, the soldiers immediately drew their swords and put their bows and arrows on their bows.

The Tibetan horse team threw down several corpses and quickly withdrew.

"Check it out." Gu Qing said to the soldiers beside him.

Several soldiers stepped forward and brought over the corpses left by the Tubo people, Gu Qing watched several corpses being killed by cutting their throats, and looked at the people who were dressed in Datang, like a caravan.

"There are alive!" The soldier said.

Gu Qing rushed forward and saw that it was a woman, and she was still breathing, looking at the other party's dry lips, and hurriedly said, "Bring water." ”

The soldier hurriedly took out the water bag, felt the water dripping on her mouth, she opened her mouth slightly and regained some consciousness and grabbed the water bag to drink, opened her eyes and saw that her eyes were wide again, she shrank her body back, and hugged her clothes tightly, "Don't come, don't come here!" ”

"Don't be afraid." Gu Qing stepped forward and said, "Our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Don't come here!" She screamed, tears in her eyes.

Looking at this thinly dressed and messy woman, Yang Sheng raised his head and breathed heavily, "What the hell did they do to her!" ”

She looked around in a trance, "What about my husband?"

When she saw several corpses, she hurriedly pounced on them, found her husband, hugged the corpses and cried.

"Can you tell me, what's going on?" Gu Qing asked in a low voice.

"They...... They are not people! She cried and spoke, and quickly pulled out the knife on the general's waist while Gu Qing was not paying attention.

"What are you doing" Gu Qing wanted to get his knife back.

She stepped back with her knife in her hand, tears in her eyes, silently wiped her neck, and fell into the parched earth.

Looking at this scene, Gu Qing was speechless for a long time.

Next, the corpses of the people of the Tang Dynasty were thrown in front of the army, some were beheaded, some lost their arms, Su Dingfang asked the soldiers to bury these corpses and said to Gu Qing, "They are wandering caravans, and those caravans were all taken down before the Tubo attacked." ”

"On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, and the soldiers and their masters fight, but the unarmed people are innocent!" Gu Qing buried one person after another, gritted his teeth and said, "Why do they treat the people like this, why!" The people just want to live. ”

Su Dingfang patted Gu Qing on the shoulder and comforted, "This is the battlefield, if we didn't hold the Yanmen Pass, countless people would have suffered, but fortunately, the residents in the Hexi Corridor would have been evacuated a long time ago." ”

In the Tibetan army, Lu Dongzan was scolding the leaders of several tribes for sending corpses to the Tang army without permission, which would make Tubo infamous on his back.

Anyway, they were already fighting with Datang, and Lu Dongzan couldn't care about it so much, just scolded a few words and didn't do anything.

Gu Qing sat in his account with red eyes and drank the liquor one after another, Wei Chigong knew that Gu Qing was very emotional, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to let him drink it.

I slept in a daze, and it was not dawn before dawn, Gu Qing walked in the barracks and looked at the soldiers, and there were many soldiers who did not sleep.

In the early hours of the morning, a scout had been secretly observing the movements of the Tibetan army, and saw that they were gathering war elephants and hurried back.

"General!" The scout came to Wei Chigong, "Tubo is about to prepare to attack." ”

Wei Chigong immediately stood up, "Give the order to go down!" Full Arms Battle! ”

The army is displayed in front of Qilian Mountain, the mighty army of Tubo has been assembled, with the sound of the horn, the army of Tubo began to gallop, in the front is the horses and sheep lying thunder.

"That's what they always do." Su Dingfang said to Gu Qing, "We planted the mines in vain. ”

The explosion of the mine continued, not much was buried, the animal carcass that fell to the ground, when the sun shone brightly, the heaven and the earth suddenly opened up, on the loess battlefield within a radius of ten kilometers, the horn of the Tubo people sounded, and tens of thousands of war elephants began to collapse and breathe, Gu Qing stared at the other party's war elephant herd, and as he got closer and closer, he could feel that the ground under his feet was trembling.

The horse beneath him snorted, and his innate fear made the horse retreat.

Yang Sheng led hundreds of soldiers to lie down the loess slope, watching the herd of war elephants charge, holding a line of fire in his hand, which was made of explosives wrapped in hollow crusty tubes that stretched all the way down to the bottom of the slope.

Calculating the speed and time, Yang Sheng shouted, "Ignition!" ”

The movements of the hundreds of soldiers were in unison, and they lit the line of fire and quickly left.

When the battle elephant herd sprinted to the center of the battlefield, Lu Dongzan looked at the calm Tang Jun and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Rumble!

With a shocking bang, thousands of catties of explosives were detonated underground, and the battlefield with a diameter of dozens of kilometers seemed to be lifted, flesh and blood flew sideways, and hundreds of war elephants rushing to the front were blown off their legs, and gaps were cracked in the ground.

The loud explosion suddenly deafed everyone's ears, and the scene in front of them seemed to shake.

Lu Dongzan looked at the huge explosion with regret in his eyes, this explosion was the anger of the Tang Dynasty, which shocked all the war elephants, and for the first time since he set out to conquer the Hexi Corridor, he felt fear of the Tang army in front of him.
