Fu Qi City, was originally the capital of Tuyuhun, after Tuyuhun was destroyed by Tubo, Fu Qi City also became an important town of Tubo in the west of Wenmu Co (Qinghai), it is located between Dafei River and Datong Valley, like a button, connecting the Tubo army of the two places, therefore, it is an extremely important logistics base of the Tubo army, and a large amount of grain is stored in the city.

There are about 3,000 garrisons in Fuqi City, and there are not many garrisons, this is because the heavy troops of Tubo blocked the passage at the upper and lower ends of Wenmu Co., and the Tang army brigade never came from Dunhuang, only in the fourth year of Tianbao, Anxi Jiedu envoy Meng Lingcha sent a sentinel of more than 100 people to come, and the whole army was annihilated.

The sentinels will not pose any threat to the city, so the Tibetans do not plan to station heavy troops in the city.

That night, in a forest about ten miles away from Fu Qi City, Nan Jiyun was squatting on a dense tree, staring intently at a path dozens of steps away, while his ten men were scattered among several other trees.

They have been ambushed here since noon, and since noon, there have been Tibetan soldiers riding horses from the path, but they are all in groups, no one is alone, Nan Jiyun patiently waits for the opportunity.

Suddenly, there was a bird's cry in the distance, Nan Jiyun was in good spirits, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, coming, three Tubo soldiers rushed to this side, there were only three people!

Nan Jiyun immediately ordered several other archers in a low voice, "Shoot horses and catch people!" ”

He drew an arrow and put it on his bow, the bowstring slowly opened, and in the moonlight, the three Tibetan cavalry rushed closer and closer, and there were no soldiers behind them, these three were their target.

The wolf's tooth arrow came out of the string, several Tang soldiers next to Nan Jiyun shot out almost at the same time, seven arrows rushed towards the three war horses at the same time, the three war horses neighed, all fell to the ground, the Tubo soldiers on horseback were thrown out, and before they could get up, Nan Jiyun's second arrow arrived again, shot through the thigh of one of them, nailed him to the ground, and then the second and third people were shot in the leg by the arrow, and the three screams were endless.

Ten Tang soldiers jumped down from the tree together, pounced on the Tubo soldiers, they moved extremely fast, knocked the Tubo soldiers unconscious, tied them up and put them into sacks, and dragged three horses with arrows into the forest, they carried the sacks, and ran into the forest, taking advantage of the cover of night, the scout team led by Nan Jiyun disappeared into the vast wilderness.

The confession came out, and the two Tang soldiers who could speak Tibetan separately asked for information about Fu Qicheng from the captives piecemeal, and compiled them into a complete piece of information.

The garrison of the Tang army has been moved to a clearing in the forest, the Fu Qi River flows slowly from here, dozens of tents are built along the river, in the largest of the tents, several Anxi generals have gathered together, Li Qing'an hung a sketch of Nan Jiyun's painting on the wooden board, and said to everyone: "This is an opportunity, there are only 3,000 men and horses stationed in Fu Qi City, but there are more than 300,000 stone of grain, if Fu Qi City is attacked, how will the Tubo people not sit idly by." ”

Bai Yuanguang said with a smile: "Qilang's real intention is to transfer the tiger away from the mountain!" ”

"That's right!"

Li Qing'an smiled and pointed to the distance between Fu Qi City and the north and south: "Although Fu Qi City is located between the Datong Valley and the Dafei River, it is nearly a hundred miles to the Datong Valley. ”

At this time, Lifei Shouyu, who had been silent, said: "Qilang, we can't think too much about things, how do we know that the Tubo soldiers in Datong Valley will definitely come to help?" ”

"Second brother, you're too worried, didn't Shichiro say it? If your house burns down, will you go to the river outside the city to fetch water, or will you fetch water from the well in your own yard? Li Fei Yuan said in a loud voice.

"It's not what you think!" Lifei Shouyu retorted to him with some unhappiness: "We don't know the internal subordination of the Tubo army, if the Tubo army in Fuqi City is under the jurisdiction of Dafeichuan, even if it is two hundred miles away, they can only ask Dafeichuan for help." ”

Li Qing'an was silent, he suddenly realized that he was not thinking about the problem a little carefully, he was bent on the Tubo army in the Datong Valley coming to help, but he didn't expect that what if the Tubo army in the Datong Valley did not come to help? And even if they come to help, will they definitely be able to pass through the Chase Valley? Will the Tibetan army open an opening for a thousand people to pass safely?

A series of questions made Li Qingan feel that he couldn't be too arbitrary, he nodded and said, "Okay! Let's not make a decision in a hurry for now, and wait for the information from He Yanming's side to come. ”

At the end of the first battle meeting, Li Qingan walked out of the big tent and sat on a big rock by the river staring at the river in contemplation, at this time, Li Fei Shouyu walked up to him and said with a smile: "Why, as soon as I say it, don't you have confidence?" ”

Li Qingan shook his head and said with a smile: "How is it possible, I have also fought dozens of battles, is this little problem rare for me?" ”

"Did Shichiro think of anything?"

"Not yet, but a lot of things don't come to mind just by thinking about it."

Li Qing'an stood up, at this time, there was a burst of women's laughter in the distant forest, this is the rescued female slaves sewing clothes for the Tang Army, Li Qing'an smiled, and said to Li Fei Shouyu: "It's only been a few days, many of them seem to be reborn, think about the scene of seeing them for the first time, I feel like ghosts crawling out of the underworld, this trip to Hehuang, if we can rescue more Han slaves, we will not be in vain." ”

"General!"

Someone was calling him in the distance, Li Qingan turned around, and saw that it was the brigade commander He Yingchuan waving to him.

"What's the matter?"

"General, come and see, we have something to gain here."

"Let's go! Check it out. ”

Li Qing'an and Li Fei Shouyu came to a small clearing in the forest, where the Tang army killed sheep and barbecued meat, and now a blacksmith furnace was erected, more than a dozen Tang army blacksmiths were hammering something, and the old Han slave Zhang Pingbo was pointing at them, and under their feet, a large pile of arrows were piled up.

Li Qing'an stepped forward, it turned out that they were transforming the arrow, transforming the triangular arrow into a streamlined shuttle arrow.

He Yingchuan pointed at Zhang Pingbo and said: "General, this Uncle Zhang has been a blacksmith for the Tubo people for ten years, he is very aware of the structure of the chain mail of the Tubo army, and is instructing us to transform the arrows." ”

Zhang Pingbo hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "General, I am willing to do my best for the Tang Army." ”

Li Qing'an was very interested, he picked up a modified arrow, and looked at it carefully, this arrow was thinner and longer than the Tang Army's armor-piercing arrow, and there were six medicine troughs horizontally at the tip of the arrow, and the appearance of the medicine trough was a bit like the file of later generations.

Zhang Pingbo introduced: "General Li, since last year, the Tubo army has transformed their chain mail against the Tang army's piercing arrows, and added a thin net to the inside of the chain mail, the hole is very small, and the Tang army's armor-piercing arrows can't shoot in, even if they squeeze in, but the power will be greatly reduced, so to break through this fine net, the arrow must be sharpened and long, but this is not enough, because the arrow shaft can't get in, so when our blacksmith made these fine nets, he thought of a way to crack it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Pingbo saw that Li Qingan was silent, so he stopped a little timidly, Li Qingan woke up, and he hurriedly said: "Go on." ”

"The way to crack it is to open a medicine slot in the arrow and feed the poison, as long as the tip of the arrow is shot into the body, the poison will attack quickly, even if the arrow shaft can't be shot, it is enough to kill the Tubo army."

Li Qingan felt that this kind of medicine trough was a little strange, so he asked with a smile: "Then why is this medicine trough opened horizontally?" ”

Zhang Pingbo also smiled: "The general doesn't know the Tubo soldiers, these Tubo soldiers are very strong, they will immediately pull out the arrow when they are shot by an arrow, and the poison that is generally applied cannot be dissolved immediately, and often has no effect, so the medicine tank is reversed, and when they pull out the arrow, the poison in the medicine tank will be fully rubbed with their flesh and blood, and the maximum dose will remain in their bodies." ”

"Good, Gao Ming!" Li Fei Shouyu blurted out praise.

Li Qing'an also nodded secretly, the Tang Army's chain mail against the Tubo Army is generally used to use armor-piercing arrows, and the arrows are streamlined like bullets, but this production standard has not changed for decades, and the Tubo people can't change their hundreds of thousands of chain mail, but they can line a fine net inside, and make a slight modification to the Tang Army's armor-piercing arrows, which can greatly reduce the power of the Tang Army's armor-piercing arrows.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly asked, "What about the poison?" Where? ”

Zhang Pingbo picked up two artemisia grasses from behind him and said: "General, these two grasses, one is called Drunken Grass and the other is called Nine Poisonous Grass, which are distributed a lot on the edge of Qinghai and there are many in the forest, and their rhizomes are actually ordinary poisons, but the Tuyuhun people often mix them together, and they become a fierce poison used to deal with the wild wolves on the grassland." ”

Li Qing'an immediately said to Li Fei Shouyu: "Immediately arrange for the brothers to go to the forest to collect these two herbs, remember, do not scatter your actions to prevent them from being attacked by wild beasts." ”

Li Fei Shouyu immediately went to make arrangements, Li Qingan groaned, and asked the blacksmith again: "How many arrows can you make in a day?" ”

"General, the five of us can transform fifteen hundred arrows a day."

This time, each of them brought 200,000 armor-piercing arrows and 100,000 ordinary wolf's tooth arrows, even if they only used 30,000 for the time being, it would take 20 days to complete, time does not allow!

Zhang Pingbo knew Li Qing'an's worries, he smiled and said: "General, thirty miles south of Fuqi City, there is a small city called Haixi City, where the Tubo people gathered two thousand Han slaves to build this city, many of them are blacksmiths, and several of my former apprentices are working there. ”

"Wait!" A bold plan suddenly flashed through Li Qingan's mind.
