Chapter XVII
The green ridge is magnificent, like a giant dragon, ready to fly through the air at any time.
Between the rugged mountain roads of the Green Mountains, a team was marching, and it was the Tang army led by Gao Xianzhi.
After the Tang army completed the assembly in Shule and rested for a while, Gao Xianzhi gave an order, set off from Shule, and embarked on the road of the southern expedition to Xiaobolu.
Xiao Bolu was originally a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, but he betrayed the Tang Dynasty and took refuge in Tibet, which made the Tang soldiers extremely angry. This southern expedition to Xiao Bolu is exactly what the soldiers want, with high morale, the soldiers' march is extremely easy, although the mountain trail in the green ridge is not easy to walk, but it can not stop the soldiers' resolute footsteps.
The person at the front of the team was none other than Lee Chang-guk. At this time, Li Changguo was dressed in Mingguang armor, holding a spear in his hand, carrying a hard bow and arrows, riding on horseback, like a moving iron tower, which was particularly powerful.
This Mingguang armor was personally selected by Gao Xianzhi for Li Changguo.
For Gao Xianzhi, when the war is coming, Gao Xianzhi is ecstatic to have Li Changguo, who is strong in martial arts, brave and resourceful, and even more rare that he is still familiar with the path of the Green Ridge. Although Li Changguo has not yet reached the military rank of having Mingguang armor, Gao Xianzhi did not say anything about it, but also personally selected it for him, which can be said to be extraordinarily important.
The Mingguang armor was shining, and at first glance, Li Changguo looked like a shining steel monster.
Kant saw it in their eyes, and they were both happy and envious for Li Changguo.
Mingguang armor was the top armor of the Tang Dynasty, and it was the best armor in the world at that time, but because of the difficulty of manufacturing, there were not many of them, and only the elite or military academy of the Tang Dynasty could have Mingguang armor. Possessing Mingguang armor, that is a symbol of identity and status, who can not admire it?
The first thing Li Changguo, a pioneer officer, did when he took office was to form his own team, and Li Changguo's first choice was to be a pawn in the fort. First, Li Changguo is familiar with them, and it is convenient to mobilize; The second is that they are stationed in the fort, and they are familiar with the path of the Green Ridge, although they cannot be compared with Li Changguo.
It is precisely because of this that the soldiers of the fort became Li Changguo's subordinates. For this matter, everyone from Kant to ordinary soldiers was ecstatic. Li Changguo didn't come to the fort for a long time, but they all made military merits, and if they followed Li Changguo, could they have a good future?
Li Changguo stared at the fort, his heart surging. Although he did not stay in the fort for a long time, it was of special significance to him: first, they took a solid first step here, and this foundation was laid very solidly; The second is that Kant regards Li Changguo as a relative and a brother, which is more important than anything else for the people who have lost their loved ones.
Right now, he is about to leave the fort and enter a foreign country, and Li Changguo feels sad that he has lost his hometown again.
Taking a breath, Li Changguo cleaned up his mood, the light flashed in his eyes, and he said to Kant and them: "Brothers: the traitor of the Tang Dynasty, Xiao Bolu is in the south, and we are about to embark on the road to the south!" There are thousands of peaks and ravines in the green mountains, thousands of difficulties and dangers, far more than anywhere, are you afraid? ”
"Don't be afraid!"
There were only two loud words that answered Li Changguo's question, which was extremely heroic and made people's blood boil!
Li Changguo glanced at the soldiers, and saw that their eyes were all round, their eyes were shining with blazing light, and their fighting spirit was soaring. Li Changguo was satisfied with their reaction, and with a wave of his right hand, he was magnificent, his voice was like thunder, and he was full of passion: "Tang boy, blood is spilled on the field!" Horse Leather Shroud! ”
He has not been in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and Li Changguo's feelings about the Tang Dynasty are extremely profound and he has integrated into the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was a dream dynasty in Chinese history, with great martial arts and splendid cultural governance, which was admired by future generations. Not to mention, Li Changguo was in the Tang Dynasty, he felt the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty all the time, and he was proud to be a Tang person!
These words came from the heart, from the bottom of his heart, and he said them very sincerely, with touching power, and the soldiers shouted in unison: "Tang boy, blood spills on the battlefield!" Horse Leather Shroud! ”
"Let's go!"
As soon as Li Changguo pulled the reins of the horse, the war horse neighed with a long neck, echoed the shouts of the soldiers, spread its four hooves, and galloped south.
Kant they beat the horses to keep up.
It didn't take long for it to enter what is now Afghanistan. At that time, this was the territory of the Tang Dynasty and China, and now, it has become a foreign land, and Li Changguo is emotional, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty no longer exists!
In the history of China, and even in the history of the world, the very famous mountain battle has begun!
In this southern expedition, the Tang army marched on the plateau at an average altitude of 4,000 meters, and it was also on the march for several months, and won a great victory, which is rare in the history of world warfare.
Because of this, Gao Xianzhi is known as the "King of the Mountains" by Western historians! ”
This southern expedition is slightly different from the historical southern expedition, with one more Li Changguo, what changes will occur?
Entering the Green Ridge, the real test begins.
The Green Ridge is now the Pamir Plateau. "Pamir" means "Roof of the World", and it is a highland with a high altitude and is famous for its high altitude. Its altitude ranges from 4,000 meters to 7,700 meters, and it has countless peaks and ravines.
In general, the Green Ridge is divided into three parts: eastern, middle and western. The eastern part is the highest part of the Green Ridge, with an average altitude of 6,000 meters. The eastern green ridge was the main route of the Tang army's march, and the difficulty of marching on such a high-altitude plateau can be imagined.
Fortunately, Gao Xianzhi was shrewd, but chose to march in the wide mountain valley, which made the altitude lower. Even so, the Tang army marched through the mountains and valleys, the altitude of which was about 3,500 to 4,000 meters.
For this southern expedition, Gao Xianzhi has been preparing for several years, and the preparation is extremely sufficient, the Tang army has two war horses per person, and the logistics are sufficient, and in general, the march is quite smooth.
Despite marching on such a high-altitude plateau, the Tang army was still as strong as a dragon, as a horse, as a rainbow, and as full of fighting spirit.
In a canyon in the Green Mountains, the two peaks are almost connected, only a small slit remains, and not much sunlight shines down from the gap, and the whole valley is very dark.
The Tang army passed through the valley floor like a long dragon, and there was no end in sight.
"This place is so dangerous!"
"If it weren't for Li Huochang's familiarity with the terrain here, we wouldn't have imagined that there would be a road here."
"Yes! According to the original route of the deputy capital guard, it would take us five or six more days to get around here. ”
Several military academies that participated in the military aircraft before the expedition quietly discussed, and they admired Li Changguo more and more.
This mountain canyon is like a cave, and if you are not familiar with the terrain, you will not know that it is passable, and they will not be able to admire it.
"What a mountain!" A soldier looked up at the sky, raised his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "You say, if you don't tie the iron shackle, will it fall off?" ”
"Give it a try!"
There were Tang soldiers who coaxed.
"Boom!"
The curiosity of the soldiers was aroused, and one of the soldiers untied the rope from the helmet and looked up at the sky, and the helmet fell off without any suspense, smashing on the ground with a crisp metal crashing sound.
"Huh!"
Tang Jun burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was light.
