When Wang Xiang came to the border pass between Lingnan and Tubo, Zhang Cheng was nervously arranging defense matters, but the situation was not optimistic, according to the scouts sent out, the morale of the 100,000 Tubo army seemed to be like a rainbow, and it was difficult to compete with Lingnan's current military strength.

Knowing that Wang Xiang came over in person, Zhang Cheng hurriedly walked down the city wall to greet him, not only because of Wang Xiang's identity, but also because of the strength of Tiedan, Niu Da and Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Cheng knew that this Jiayuan Marquis was far more powerful than he imagined.

Presumably, these three people are the strange people in the rumors. Thinking of this, Zhang Cheng's worries have not been alleviated, it is a good thing that there are three more strange people on his side, but after seeing the terrible strength of the strange people, he has even less confidence in this battle, because according to the detective report, there are no less than ten strange people in Tubo!

"Master Zhang, how is the situation now?"

Zhang Cheng, who was wearing battle armor, shook his head: "I'm not optimistic, looking at the movement of Tubo, I should launch an attack soon, and I can only try my best to delay the time when there is a huge difference in strength, hoping to hold out until General Cheng's reinforcements arrive." ”

Having said that, in fact, he knew in his heart that if Tubo attacked with all his might, with Lingnan's current military strength, it would not last that long, and if the other party also had a strange person with infinite strength like Tie Dan and Niu Da, the city gate of the pass would be easily breached, and once the city gate was lost, the situation would be even worse.

"Master Hou, how is His Royal Highness King Jin?"

Wang Xiang nodded and said, "Don't worry, His Royal Highness King Jin has already made arrangements, and there will be no danger." ”

"That's fine." Zhang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, "There may be a war here at any time, Hou Ye should stay with His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and wait until the war is over, and then send someone to escort the Hou Ye and His Royal Highness the King of Jin back to Chang'an." ”

He wanted to send Wang Xiang and King Jin back to Chang'an as soon as possible, but it was more dangerous to be blocked by Tibetan soldiers and horses along the way. They can only hide for the time being.

Wang Xiang shook his head when he heard this: "Once Lingnan is lost, it is useless to hide anywhere. ”

Zhang Cheng knew that what he said was the truth. sighed. Then he raised his head and said resolutely: "Hou Ye rest assured, even if the lower officials die in battle, they will protect the safety of Hou Ye and His Royal Highness King Jin." ”

Wang Xiang smiled: "Don't be so pessimistic, we won't necessarily lose this battle." ”

Zhang Cheng only thought that Wang Xiang was self-comforting, smiled bitterly and did not speak, and was about to go back to arrange the defense work, Wang Xiang pulled him and said: "Lord Zhang picked sixteen clever soldiers for me, I am useful." ”

Zhang Cheng was puzzled for a moment and then understood, he thought that Wang Xiang wanted to have some people to protect him. Sixteen soldiers are nothing to fight against more than 100,000 people, Zhang Cheng nodded and said, "Xiaguan will go and pick some brave soldiers to protect the safety of Hou Ye." ”

Wang Xiang knew that he had misunderstood, if it was really for his own safety, he just left iron eggs casually, Niu Da or Zhang Sanfeng were better than a hundred elite soldiers, but he didn't have time to explain now.

"You don't need to be brave, the key is to be clever and sixteen people."

Although he didn't know why Wang Xiang made such a request, Zhang Cheng still found sixteen clever soldiers as he said, and ordered: "You will follow Hou Ye and be responsible for protecting his safety, understand!" ”

"Understood!"

Zhang Cheng arched his hand towards Wang Xiang: "The war is urgent, and the lower officials will go to arrange defense matters." ”

Wang Xiang waved his hand and said, "Master Zhang, go." ”

Zhang Cheng quickly climbed the city wall. Wang Xiang looked at the sixteen soldiers standing respectfully in front of him, smiled slightly, and said, "You come with me." ”

Know the Iron Egg. Niu Da and Zhang Sanfeng were Wang Xiang's guards, and these soldiers were naturally extremely respectful to him, and Zhang Cheng had also instructed them to listen to Wang Xiang's arrangements, so Wang Xiang did not have any doubts and left the pass.

There was a truck parked in a clearing not far from the pass, and the soldiers were a little curious when they saw the truck for the first time, Wang Xiang motioned for them to come closer, and then pulled a machine gun from the truck.

"Master Hou, what is this?" A soldier, who looked very alert, couldn't help but ask.

Wang Xiang said with a smile: "This is a secret weapon to deal with the Tubo army. ”

"Secret weapon?" Now everyone was even more curious, they originally thought that Wang Xiang was planning to hide from the front line, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"There are only 30,000 soldiers and horses in Lingnan, and it is by no means easy to deal with the 100,000 Tubo army, and if you want to repel the Tubo army, the hope is on you."

Hearing Wang Xiang say this, the shrewd soldier was puzzled: "We? ”

The other soldiers were also puzzled, how could a war of more than 100,000 people be able to turn the situation around with just a dozen of them.

Wang Xiang nodded and smiled: "Of course, there are these secret weapons. ”

"Can this thing really repel the Tibetan army?" In their opinion, the things Wang Xiang was carrying in his hand were black and not slippery, without a blade, and it didn't look like it was lethal.

Wang Xiang said confidently: "As long as you can be familiar with the use of these secret weapons, it will not be difficult to repel the 100,000 Tubo army. ”

Wang Xiang divided the sixteen soldiers into eight groups of two in each group, and then began the first machine gun lesson in Datang.

A simple target has been set up 100 meters away from the open space, in fact, it is to hang eye-catching red silk markings on the trunks of several large trees, Wang Xiang set up the heavy machine gun, adjusted the position of the machine gun, and then loaded the magazine.

Sixteen soldiers curiously gathered in a circle, and after they were ready, Wang Xiang waved his hand and said, "All stand behind me, there is danger in front." ”

Although they didn't see any danger, everyone still obeyed the order and stood behind Wang Xiang.

"I'll show you first." After speaking, Wang Xiang leaned over and lay on the ground, twisted his body and adjusted his posture, and the soldiers behind him felt even more strange, why did the good Hou Ye suddenly lie on the ground?

Before the thought was finished, he suddenly heard a "sudden" roar in his ears, the sound was like a continuous thunder, and his ears were buzzing, all the soldiers were shocked, and they looked around cautiously, and then they found that the sound was from the secret weapon in Wang Xiang's hand, and there was a burst of fire in the front of the slender black iron pipe, which looked very terrifying.

Wang Xiang's body also kept shaking with the strafing of the machine gun, this thing was too powerful, and the recoil was naturally very strong, if it was swept for dozens of minutes, the bones of the whole body would be numb.

When Wang Xiang stopped strafing, the soldiers behind him were already dumbfounded, whether the red silk as a mark was hit or not is no longer the point, although Wang Xiang's accuracy is poor, but the target tree is only a hundred meters away, and the trunks are relatively thick and arranged very densely, hundreds of bullets are so close to strafe, there are several stout trees directly shot by the waist! When did these soldiers who lived in the era of cold weapons ever see such a terrifying weapon, they were stunned for a long time and didn't come back to their senses.
