The Tang army hula suddenly separated and let Sal out. Niu Tong urged the horse to Sal's approach, and pointed with a steel fork: "Sal, if you don't surrender now, when will you wait?" ”

"Niu Jinda, don't insult people! Dare to fight me 300 times! ”

"As you wish, let me also see the demeanor of the first warrior of Tibet!" Niu Jinda rushed forward with a sharp urge of the war horse, and raised his fork to stab. Thrall's blade is also a hunting fork, but his hunting fork is slender and focuses more on speed.

When Sal saw Niu Jinda rushing over, he didn't care about it, and stabbed the hunting fork in his hand with a bang, as if he was going to die together.

Niu Jinda has been a great enemy for a long time, and he has learned a lot of skills from Luo Song, so he has already figured out the enemy's routines. He snorted, and the fork retreated to block Thrall's offensive lane.

"Dang!" As soon as the two of them touched, they separated again, and then they each showed their abilities and fought in one place. Niu Tong's real level is still a certain gap compared to the first warrior of Tubo, but he is the best at defending in his moves, so he will not lose for a while.

In addition, Sal's heart was a little messy, surrounded by enemies that made him unable to play his best, and his martial arts were also discounted, but Niu Jinda was high-spirited, and he fought out 10% of his strength, so the battle was mediocre in a short time.

However, after a long time, Niu Jinda was a little irresistible; Qin Huaiyu shouted beside him: "Uncle Niu, the little nephew has some itchy skills, how about giving him to me?" ”

Niu Tong was just about to answer, but the situation on the battlefield changed abruptly, and Sal knew that the general trend had gone, so he gave up resistance and slammed into Niu Jinda's big fork. Then he died of despair.

Niu Jinda sighed, shook his head and said, "Sal is bent on death, and he can be regarded as a well-deserved death. Bury him! The soldiers agreed, and gathered Sal's body and found a place to bury it. Sal's wife, Sam Mi-joo, committed suicide when she heard the news, and Niu Tong ordered them to be buried together.

After taking Derge City, Jiangda City and Shiqu City will be much simpler in the future. Under the persuasion of Nie Pudong, Nie Puduo Brothers and Chi Sang, plus I heard that Tang Juntian thundered Dege. Even the tall Derge City, garrisoned by the first warrior of Tibet, is no match for the Tang army, so why should we seek our own death?

The city guards of the two cities here chose to surrender one after another, which made Niu Tongbing come to Kemu City, the meeting place agreed with Cheng Zhijie, without blood.

Kemu City is the capital of the Subian kingdom that the Tibetans are recently conquering, and in order to manage this place well, the abandoned sect sent one of his seven wise ministers, Chisang Yala, to garrison here.

Chisang said to Niu Jinda: "General, Chisang Yala, who is stationed in Kemu City, is my youngest son, and I am willing to go to Kemu City to persuade him to surrender, and let him sacrifice the city to protect the Tang Dynasty." ”

Niu Jinda laughed and said, "Thank you Old Man Chisang, if you can take Kemu City." You're the first thing. ”

Chi Sang was happy to grow his beard, and then resigned from the military tent under the jealous eyes of the brothers Nie Puduo and Nie Pudong, and wanted to go to Kemu City to persuade his son to surrender.

The combined credit of the brothers Nie Puduo and Nie Pudong cannot be accounted for by Chisang. Their Nie family is a big Tubo clan, and they are much better than the Chisang family. Their uncle Nie? Dazhan Dongsai is also one of the Seven Sages, and is currently the general of Wangcheng Luo.

If you can persuade your uncle to donate some cities, isn't the credit great? It will definitely be able to overshadow the Chisang family. Thinking of this, Nie Pudong asked Niu Jinda for his life and volunteered to go back to persuade his uncle to surrender.

Niu Tong had no excuses, and encouraged Nie Pudong a few words, and then asked him to persuade his uncle.

Not long after Nie Pudong left, Chisang returned to the big tent in a gray manner, and Niu Jinda was stunned and said, "Lord Chisang, what's the matter with you?" Do you not want to play for our Datang? ”

Chi Sang was startled, and hurriedly said, "No, no, don't misunderstand, general." But now that Kemu has been occupied by the Tang Army, wouldn't it be superfluous for me to go again? ”

Niu Jinda was stunned, occupied by the Tang army? Who will it be? He conquered everything all the way, was invincible, and completed this road in only 160 days; Didn't you waste time? Who will be faster than themselves?

At this moment, someone came in and reported that there was a young general named Xue Li who asked to see him at Yuanmen. Niu Tong sighed: "The unpredictable opportunity of the county king, I am completely convinced!" Someone, invite Xue Li in. ”

Not long after, a white-robed young general entered the military tent; He hugged his fist at Niu Tong and said, "Pingnan Zhonglang will Xue Li to see General Niu." ”

Niu Jinda looked at Xue Li and nodded incessantly: "Yes, what a three-arrowed Xue Rengui!" Xue Li, tell me when you arrived at Kemu. You have a long way to go, why did you arrive earlier than me? ”

Xue Li's originally fair face turned a little black and red, and he grinned and showed his white teeth and said, "General Huiyu, we are Kemu who arrived five days ago. After receiving the departure order, the governor selected 5,000 elite soldiers to take us from Nanzhao Taihe City to Tubo. ”

Xue Li's eyes showed some remembrance, and even some fear. Their 5,000-strong army set out from Nanzhao and came to a large river after a long journey through the vast primeval forest.

This great river flows between two mountains; Completely block their way forward. Although Xue Li and the others relied on livestock to cross the turbulent water; But he knew it was impossible to get through here.

What can I do? Do you want to go back from here? The road into Tibet is more complicated in front, and in some places it cannot be passed for most of the year; Only August and September are the best time to travel. If these two months were missed, their expedition would have been aborted.

Everyone was in a hurry, and Cheng Zhijie didn't say anything, and led them to continue walking up the steep mountain road. These people all have some blind trust in Cheng Zhijie, and everyone unswervingly followed him to the top of the mountain.

"Meet the county king!" As soon as they reached the top of the mountain, a man rushed down from above; When he arrived in front of Cheng Zhijie, he fell to his knees. Lao Chengyi stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "Maosheng, you're welcome, how are you preparing?" ”

The man named Mao Sheng grinned and said, "Don't worry, the county king, we have completed the task on schedule. But the king of the county did arrive early, and now the iron rope has been erected, and the planks are being spliced. ”

"Good! Let's check it out! Cheng Zhijie clapped his hands and led the troops to the top of the mountain with Maosheng. At the top of the mountain, there is a path that has been carved out to the cliff below.

The group went down the path, where a large clearing had been carved out. There are several huge iron cables between the two mountains, and there are pairs of people running to lay the frame and fix the planks; Soon a bridge with iron cables appeared between the two mountains.

Everyone was refreshed when they saw it, and Cheng Zhijie walked up and stomped on the plank and said with a smile: "Don't do it." It's sturdy! A bridge flies north and south, and Tianjian becomes a thoroughfare! Maosheng, your merits are immeasurable! ”

Mao Sheng said with a smile: "We are all small skills, and the king of the county takes everyone to life and death, which is the real hard work." Cheng Zhijie smiled and shook his head: "Without your help, we wouldn't even be able to reach the battlefield, so what else can we say about killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions?" ”

Mao Sheng stroked the iron rope as thick as the mouth of a bowl and said: "King of the county, in order to build this iron chain bridge, the brothers have suffered badly. Can you not tear him down when you pass over? ”

Lao Cheng was slightly stunned and said, "Why do you want to tear it down?" In the future, Tibet will also be our territory, this is a bridge of communication between us, of course, it cannot be demolished! I'm still waiting to use him to tie Tubo firmly to the chariot of the Tang Dynasty. ”

Mao Sheng said, "King Jun, the world is impermanent, maybe one day Tubo will be strong, and they can also invade the Central Plains through the chain bridge, so won't we become sinners?" ”

Cheng Zhijie waved his hand and said: "That can only show that the descendants are incompetent, and it is not your head to blame, this iron rope must be retained." I will let people remember here the grand occasion when Maosheng built the bridge and the Tang army entered Tibet. If there really is such a day, let the future generations be ashamed of themselves! ”

Maosheng was excited, and knelt down to thank Cheng Zhijie again. Cheng Zhijie held him up, saw that the chain bridge had been paved, greeted everyone, and stepped on the chain bridge into the territory of Tubo.

As soon as they entered Tibet, they were all desolate and uninhabited areas at the junction, and they walked a short distance into the vast grassland. The army trampled the grass to a sparse sparse ground, which was filled with all kinds of poisonous gases, poisonous insects, and poisonous weeds.

Fortunately, Cheng Zhijie ordered everyone to prepare sufficiently, and the food and other materials were sufficient, so there were no too many casualties. But even so, nearly 100 people were devoured by the mire, poisonous insects, and poisonous gas.

After a long journey of seven days, they left the grassland, and then, as if they were going up the mountain, as if they were going up the mountain, the higher and higher they went, the breathing became heavier and more rapid; The mountain wind is steep, blowing everyone cold.

"Look at it! So what? Someone shouted, and everyone looked up and saw a silver and white world.

At the beginning, I saw the snow-capped mountains, and it was indeed very spectacular. Snow-capped, a piece of silver, snow in the sky, snow in the sky, all snow in the world.

The Tang soldiers really got up, but they didn't feel beautiful at all, and the initial excitement disappeared without a trace.

Towering Snow Mountain is called the Immortal Mountain by the local people, and it is the Beiyue in their hearts. They told Tang Jun that only immortals could climb the towering snow mountain. If you make a little noise up the mountain, the mountain god will strangle you to death. In short, the Snow Mountain is an incredible mountain; Birds can't fly past it, so it's best not to get too close to it.

Cheng Zhijie laughed and said goodbye to the herdsmen he had finally met, and led the army into the snowy mountains.

The climb seemed smooth at first, but then suddenly entered the world of ice and snow. The snow-capped mountains made people unable to open their eyes, and there was no road, people skated on the ice, fell, tried to stand up, but they were weak, and some of them lay down in the arms of the snow-capped mountains forever.
