Chapter 819: The Messenger Arrives
In front of the official road in Tubo in the southwest, Li Ji had already begun to catch fire, there were constant mines on the road, and the losses of the forced march were not small, which greatly weakened the confidence of the soldiers, and several groups of demining teams were organized, but the enemy planted mines in a very orderly manner, and there was no doubt that it must be the countermeasures of the newly arrived Li Mingxin.
Rao is Li Ji has a good temper and can't hold back his anger at this time, he thought that Bai Fan sent a helper, but he didn't expect to send a big enemy, no less than Li Xinzhong's big enemy, at this time, if the front line goes to the emperor to write a letter, saying that Bai Fan's enemies are undisputed.
Seeing that it is already autumn, if it is winter, the plateau is cold and cannot fight, but the current attack is unfavorable, even if it is to ask for help, the transmission of information is extremely inconvenient, and it will take 40 days to go back and forth at the earliest.
The 50,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty wandered in place for twenty days, and there was a person in the camp, he was the messenger sent by Bai Fan, the boss of the gourd baby, Hong Dali.
"The last general, Hong vigorously greeted the marshal."
Hong Dali still has a position in the army, so when he saw the current number one boss in the military, he didn't dare to be disrespectful at all.
Li Ji saw that it was an old man in the army, thinking that it was a reinforcement sent by Bai Fan, his dissatisfaction decreased slightly, and he nodded and said: "Well, General Hong came at the right time, and the army is now in a stalemate with the war in Tibet."
That's when you need your kind of reinforcement. ”
Hong Dali said loudly: "Commander Qiyu, the last general will be sent by the family teacher......"
Without waiting for Hong Dali to finish speaking, Li Ji interrupted with a laugh: "Okay, I know that Jian Zhi cherishes the country, and will not watch the soldiers sacrifice and die, nor will he let the thieves run rampant......"
Hong Dali was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but interrupt: "Commander, the last general came over to deliver a letter to Li Mingxin on the order of the master."
The family teacher passed down the word, and the disciples of the academy are not allowed to kill each other, so please forgive me, the last general will send the letter and leave, and cannot participate in the war. ”
Li Ji seemed to be stuck in his throat by a fish bone in an instant, he was stunned for a long time, and his face turned from red to black, as if the dark clouds were about to thunder.
"Presumptuous!
What kind of bullshit is this?
Hong Dali, you are bold, Ben Shuai asked you, are you my Tang Dynasty incumbent Wupin General? ”
Hong Dali was lost his temper by Li Ji, and he was a little embarrassed in his heart, which means that Li Ji has a hard relationship with his master, and it is not an exaggeration to change to a strange handsome man and take him down directly.
After hesitating for a moment, Hong Dali said weakly: "Back to the big handsome, the last general will be the general of the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Okay, you just admit this, although you don't have armor on your body today, but as a general of the Tang Dynasty, it is your duty to have a war in the Tang Dynasty.
This commander is the secretary of the Tang Dynasty Military Department, and now orders you to be the vanguard of the front army, responsible for attacking the main force of the front army of Tubo. ”
Li Ji gave an order, which frightened Hong Dali's feet, and said with embarrassment: "But, handsome, master, he ......."
"Bastard, Bai Fan is just a Chinese army Sima, can he command a general?
In the Datang battlefield, do you dare not listen to the commander's orders, but receive the orders of your private division? Can you know military law? ”
Me, I...... Hong Dali felt that he was a little short of words, and his face turned red in a hurry, and he didn't know how to refute it.
"Marshal, before the last general receives the order, can you report to the master first?"
"No, don't want to delay the army, this place is at least forty days away from Datang, and by the time you finish asking for instructions, the fighter will be no longer there."
Besides, I'm a handsome, not a handsome Bai Fan. Li Ji reprimanded.
This is also Li Ji bullied Hong Dali and forcibly arrested Zhuang Ding with bad words, if Hong Qianli came over, he would definitely be able to excuse him with his tongue.
"No, no, Dashuai, I brought you an artifact on the order of the master this time, and I can send a letter back and forth with the master on the same day."
Saying that, Hong Dali went out and brought a radio station, which has been strengthened in Yizhou along the way in order to facilitate the front-line command, otherwise the signal may not be transmitted to Chang'an.
Li Ji watched Hong Dali fiddle for a while, doubted the letter, and asked how the telegraph machine worked, and when Hong Dali got Bai Fan's reply, Li Ji almost didn't believe it.
After several twists and turns, Hong Dali finally convinced Li Ji of the authenticity of the telegram communication, and the first thing Li Ji did after believing it was to send a long letter of complaint to Bai Fan, and Hong Dali sent the telegram for an hour.
Bai Fan frowned after reading it, obviously he didn't expect Li Mingxin to have a lot of hidden abilities, thinking about it again and again, Bai Fan promised to leave Hong Dali in front of the army, and at the same time provide demining methods, Li Ji was very righteous.
If you want to break the Tubo mine array, one of them is to train sappers to slowly clear mines day by day, obviously Datang can't have so much time, and it must attack Tubo before winter comes.
Therefore, Li Ji chose an effective method, that is, the fire ox array, because the official road is not wide, and the Tubo mines are limited, so a group of ploughing cattle or yaks are recruited, and one head is in front of the mines, so that the obstacles can be effectively cleared and the army can advance smoothly.
Sure enough, after three waves of minefields, the front was finally safe, and the army marched all the way straight to the foot of Yuji City.
Under the defenselessness of the Tubo people, the 50,000 troops of the Tang Dynasty easily took Yuji City, which had been somewhat prosperous after three years of operation by the Tang Dynasty, and after a baptism of opium, it fell into decay again, because the people were infected with too many drugs.
Therefore, Li Ji left 10,000 to defend the city, and sent people to purchase antidote medicinal materials to rectify the drug problem in the city.
The other 40,000 soldiers were very fast, and they pushed all the way over.
After breaking the three cities in a row, Tubo finally became vigilant, and after reacting, Li Xinzhong was furious, took out the inventory of 50,000 thunderbolts to defend it, and copied the method assisted by the Datang catapult, and the Datang could not be saved.
The two sides once again fell into a standoff, and at this time, winter on the plateau came, and the mountains were covered with heavy snow, and it was obvious that there could be no more war.
The military telegraph was transmitted to the palace by telegraph, and Li Er was overjoyed, in the end, he was a fledgling boy, not as good as Li Ji, and the defeat of Tubo had been decided.
The Li Xinzhong brothers also seemed to know that they would lose if they held for a long time, so they took advantage of the cold four or five months of respite, and the two stepped up their discussions on the way to survive.
"Brother Xian, how much gunpowder and thunder can be made in one winter?"
Li Mingxin shook his head and said: "Tubo is remote here, and the resources are scarce and insufficient, so the output is not good, even if we use the maximum manpower and material resources, we can only produce 50,000 thunderbolts in five months." ”
Li Xinzhong shook his head and said, "No, it's too little, Datang can easily crush us."
It seems that we can't fight hard, we can only increase the trickery, and it happens that the new season of poppies has been harvested. ”
Li Mingxin frowned and opened his mouth to persuade: "Brother, the poppy is too poisonous and hurts the heavens, so it's better to think about it again." ”
"Hmph, pedantic, what do you mean by hurting the heavens? Too poisonous? The thunder of the sky makes people have no bones, and in terms of poison, we are not as good as Bai Fan.
Now that people can't let us live, are you still in the kindness of a woman? Isn't the revenge of the family revenge? ”
