Body 237 Kong Ming lantern
But in any case, this time it is a labor expedition, and the 10,000 people at this moment are no matter how brave and good they are to fight, and they are not afraid of death.
When encountering the hundreds of thousands of people below, the white-clothed food army wearing iron armor is unknown whether it can hold up, let alone kill a bloody way and rescue the people inside.
"yes, how can you let them know that reinforcements are coming?" Li Hong's brows condensed into a rope.
The explosives had already run out, and all of them were used by him at the foot of the Potala Palace that night.
Now it can be said that he does not have a sharp weapon in his hand that can strategically defeat the other party, so as to open a gap from the encirclement of these hundreds of thousands of people.
Hei Fang Changzhi listened to the two quietly, and said with difficulty and bitterness: "Now the only way for us is how to get in touch with Wang Mingyuan in the besieged city, and then raid from behind them when the white-clothed food is in full swing, so as to buy time and opportunity for the troops in the city to escape." ”
"How easy is it to say?" Li Hong looked at the besieged Jiling City.
If you want to get in touch with the city, unless you fly through the sky, but that is not feasible, I am afraid that as soon as you fly to the top of the head of the white-clothed eater, you will be killed by a rain of arrows.
The air does not walk underground? When the tunnels are dug through, it is estimated that all the dead people in the city are dead.
Now I am afraid that the only people who can freely pass between the white-clothed food and the city of Jiling are the birds in the sky and the ants on the ground.
Xue Rengui's eyes were fierce, he looked at the foot of the mountain through the grass in front of him, and said coldly: "It's better to let the last general lead a few hundred troops to attract them, so that at least Wang Mingyuan in the city can know that reinforcements have arrived, and it can also improve their morale to defend the city, and they can resist for a while." ”
Li Hong listened to Xue Rengui's request, just stared blankly at the bottom and shook his head silently, this was a forced decision. Until the last minute, this kind of strategy cannot be used.
Xue Rengui and Hei Tooth Changzhi can have this kind of idea of dying together with the white-clothed food, or even sacrificing themselves to rescue Wang Mingyuan, in fact, along the way, Li Hong explained to them the stakes of this rescue.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for the two of them to understand why they had to take such a big risk, and resolutely rushed over to the rescue when the probability of victory and the chance of victory were extremely low, and they might even die in the Persian Governor's Palace.
In order to prove the strength of our Datang to various small countries, and at the same time, it is also to let other countries see the influence of Datang in remote areas, so that Datang can govern the Western Regions with peace of mind, and absorb the respect and worship of Datang from all countries.
And our rescue of thousands of miles has made many border soldiers in the Tang Dynasty see the importance of the Tang Dynasty to them, maintain the important position of the Tang soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, and create an important attitude for future recruitment.
The weakening of the history of the Tang Dynasty is closely related to the destruction of the Juntian system and the destruction of the government military system, but in the final analysis, the great reduction in military strength is still due to the decline in the status of soldiers.
As a result, a saying that is still popular in later generations has been created: "A good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail." ”
Therefore, if you want Datang to continue to maintain its current influence, whether it is above the court or as a military general, you have to make a solemn statement for Datang's iron bones.
And this is also the reason why Xue Rengui and Heiya Changzhi dispelled their doubts, the reason is that today's Datang, although it has not yet reached the time when the military is really declining in twenty or thirty years, but now the status of military generals and government soldiers has declined sharply, which is an indisputable fact.
Xue Rengui and Hei Tooth Changzhi naturally have a deep understanding, so in the matter of Li Hong's adventure of thousands of miles to rescue, after arriving here, the two became more proactive than Li Hong.
Otherwise, Xue Rengui would not have come up with the idea that he was determined to use himself as a lure target to attract the enemy's attention for Li Hong and Heizhi Changzhi, so as to give them a chance to rescue the besieged Tang sergeants.
The soldiers who were resting in the recess during the day, when dusk came, they really integrated with the mountains and forests, and if they didn't look closely, it would be difficult to find the soldiers of the Tang Army resting from the huge recess and half slopes.
Li Hong and the three of them lay on the top of the mountain, and after a small nap, they were awakened by the increasingly noisy sounds and roars below.
I saw the white-clothed food troops at the foot of the mountain, and the whole atmosphere was more solemn than in the early morning and afternoon.
A killing aura of the coming of the great war slowly emanated from the hundreds of thousands of people below. Cold spears, scimitars, iron-blooded horses, sharp bows and arrows, catapults, and so on are all ready to go.
"It seems that when night falls, they will be ready to attack the city again. Call Heng Qiao, Fang Zhan, Shock, and Cheetah over. Li Hong looked at the foot of the mountain, which was mobilizing the orderly white-clothed food troops, and said anxiously.
Looking at a small group of troops who looked like scouts in white clothes, Li Hong began to order Heng Qiao and the others: "Kill them cleanly, and then see that there is no camp in the north of the city, take advantage of the chaos after the enemy attacks the city as much as possible, get close there, if you can assassinate the enemy generals, it is best to assassinate them, if you can't assassinate them, you must also create some chaos for them, but you must remember that after a stick of incense, you must return immediately, and also, take this, and strive to shoot the letter on the arrow into the city after you start to sneak in." ”
Looking at a group of twenty or thirty white-clothed cavalrymen, they raised a puff of smoke and dust and ran towards the mountain recess on this side, it seemed that this was a reconnaissance of their own rear before the final siege.
It seems that they are also afraid that once the war starts, there will be a sneak attack on them by the Tocharians hidden in the shadows, or it may just be a routine investigation.
But this has already given Li Hong a very small hope, at least as long as these people are killed, after they disguise themselves, it will still be easy to infiltrate the troops of more than 100,000 people, and it should not be very difficult to shoot arrows into the city.
What's more, Heng Qiao fought with Fang, during this time, he also had a lot of understanding of the white-clothed food, and it should not be a problem to deal with the general sentry posts in the barracks, which is why Li Hong chose them to follow the stinger.
As for Hua Meng and Mangzhong, including lawlessness, Li Hong originally wanted to send all the masters around him in one fell swoop, and he didn't even leave his own personal guards, but in the end he was strongly stopped by Xue Rengui and Heizhi Changzhi.
Li Hong watched dozens of them leave quietly, and when he rushed towards those white-clothed scouts, he immediately ordered Mangzhong to find some pine resin and some branches, including a lot of relatively thin fabric.
Xue Rengui and the others didn't understand what Li Hong was going to do, and they couldn't help at all, so they had to obey Li Hong's orders and began to reorganize the troops, and set up a large number of bows and crossbows on both sides of the mountain recess.
The production of Kong Ming lanterns is a simple thing for Li Hong, but he has not played it all these years.
I wanted to play during the Lantern Festival in the palace, and as soon as I had a little fire, I hadn't taken out the Kong Ming lantern, and I was taken away by the dragon mother Wu Mei, who was afraid that if he was excited, he would light the old Taiji Palace.
The Kong Ming lantern was invented by a woman during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period because her husband was in the army, and later it was used more for military purposes to transmit information.
As for why it is called Kong Ming Lantern, it is because people look at him very much like the hat that Zhuge Kong Ming wore at the beginning, so he named it Kong Ming Lantern.
As for the later generations, when Zhuge Kongming was besieged in Pingyang, he could not send troops out of the city for help, so he made this Kong Ming lantern, tied a message for help, and finally calculated the direction of the wind, released the Kong Ming lantern to rescue the soldiers, and was remembered.
But if you think about it, you know that it can't be, the bow and arrow were designed when mankind started the first war, and when you just released the city, it is not too high, you can shoot it down.
What's more, with the grasp of the direction of the wind and the enemy's siege, unless your Kong Ming lantern can be controlled remotely, it is impossible for you to float out of the city and find rescue for you.
(Note: Don't take it seriously, it's just that it's needed, what's going on, I really don't know, there are several theories.) )
After being busy with Huameng and Mangzhong under the command of Li Hong, Lawless finally made a lantern that could fly under the command of Li Hong.
At this time, Xue Rengui and the black tooth Chang Zhili were on the horse, their eyes were round, and they looked at the few lanterns under their feet, on which were written with the words Tang and Bei, but they didn't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted to do.
When they heard Li Hong say that after this thing was lit, it could fly, and the two looked at each other even more, no one believed in a lantern, light a fire underneath, and then it could fly.
"It must be put here, in this way, if Wang Mingyuan has a little brain, after breaking through the city, he should know to run in the direction of this mountain recess to the north." Li Hong was afraid that if it was too far away, the handwriting on it would not be clear to the people of Lingling City, so he finally decided to light the Kong Ming lantern from here.
"Your Highness, the last general asks for orders to be the vanguard of the raid on the white-clothed Great Food army, and you and General Xue will set up an ambush here." Hei Tooth Changzhi patted the armor on his body and said proudly.
Li Hong ignored him, just looked at Xue Rengui, and the meaning in his eyes was self-evident: "Do you think so too?" ”
"Dadu Hu, the last general has been guarding the Western Regions for a long time, and he still has some understanding of the troops in white clothes and food, so the last general will lead the troops to raid, you and the black tooth general will set up an ambush here, and the last general will ensure that Wang Mingyuan and Belus will be brought back safely." Xue Rengui also made a clattering sound in his armor, and although the horse lance in his hand was still wrapped in black cloth, it was like this, and it could still make people feel a strong fighting spirit.
Li Hongwei smiled, first shook his head silently, and then said: "Do you want me to break the queen for you here, and then wait for the Tang army soldiers to pass, and keep me here to fight to the death against the white-clothed eater?" Can you evacuate safely? ”
