The Tang army marched among the lofty mountains and mountains, and the places they passed were barren and uninhabited, except for primeval forests and wild beasts that had never seen man.

These beasts may have seen people for the first time in their lives, but they were not afraid, looking at Tang Jun from afar, squinting their eyes from time to time. Tang Jun was the first time in his life that he had seen a beast that was not afraid of people, it was a novelty, and then he was no longer surprised.

There is even more peculiarity, that is, the Tang army was in the mood to shoot beasts for fun at first, and then it was possible to march in the mountains and mountains for a long time, and it was rare to see creatures, so they no longer shot beasts, and occasionally sent kindness to beasts. Throwing some grass at the deer and some meat at the tiger and leopard caused the beasts to let out an affectionate roar.

Marching in the green mountains, in addition to overcoming the natural environment, but also to overcome boredom, very boring, there can be wild beasts to amuse, the Tang army is not tired of this.

The march is very tiring, very boring, very tasteless, it can be said that it is the most tasteless and boring march in the history of the Tang Dynasty, although the Tang Dynasty has great martial arts, the Tang army swept the world, destroyed dozens of countries, I don't know how many battles have been fought.

Overall, the march was quite smooth, unexpectedly smooth for Gao Xianzhi.

In order to go so smoothly, in addition to being well prepared and well fed, the biggest credit is Li Changguo, a man who knows the way, with him leading the way in front, the Tang army has not taken a detour.

On several occasions, Li Changguo led the Tang army through the mountain trails, and at first glance there were no roads in these places, and Gao Xianzhi thought that Li Changguo had misremembered. However, facts have proved that Li Changguo remembers very clearly, Gao Xianzhi was greatly convinced, and secretly congratulated that he had picked up the treasure, and it was wise to hand over the important task of vanguard to Li Changguo.

"In half a month, we will be able to reach Telmanchuan!" Gao Xianzhi rode on the horse, very pleased, and said with a smile: "Teller Manchuan is only half a journey away from Lianyunbao, we can take Lianyunbao directly after we have passed the special service Manchuan!" ”

Lianyunbao is the first target of this expedition, and if it is not defeated here, there will be no peace in the Western Regions. Because Tubo has nearly 10,000 troops stationed here, it is Gao Xianzhi's thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh, and it is unpleasant not to pull it out!

"Huh!"

Bian Lingcheng's male duck laughed so ugly, his eyebrows furrowed, and he said: "Deputy Duhu, our march is very smooth, this is all the credit of Li Huochang!" ”

He is a prisoner, a eunuch, and he is an internal official, and he rarely calls people so affectionately, and he even calls Li Changguo Li Huochang, which is the first time, which also reflects that Li Changguo's weight in the Tang Army is extremely heavy.

"But what I'm worried about is, will there be a lot of water?" Bian Lingcheng's duck beak turned into a crow's beak, and he actually talked about unlucky things.

Gao Xianzhi's body was stunned, his hands were a little stiff, and what he was most worried about was that Teller was full of water. It is the rainy season now, and once it rains, flash floods will erupt, which will eventually cause the water to rise in the Telman River, preventing the Tang army from advancing.

"Look, how nice the weather is, it won't!" Gao Xianzhi looked up at the sky, only to see a round of fierce screams hanging high, his heart was slightly relaxed, and he buried his worries in the bottom of his heart.

"Look at my mouth!" Bian Lingcheng also realized that there was a problem with his words, although he was telling the truth, he shouldn't say it, and patted it on his mouth, which was considered a punishment, and he didn't say more.

Bian Lingcheng really had a crow's mouth, and his words came true, and that night, the weather changed abruptly, torrential rain was like a torrential rain, and there was muddy water everywhere.

The most terrible thing is that the Tang army marched from the mountain valleys, which were most prone to water accumulation. Not all, at least seven or eight times out of ten, the mountains and valleys that were originally easy to march are already waterlogged, and as soon as the Tang army steps down, there will be a splash of old high.

"Whoa!"

Li Changguo led the horse, lit it with a spear, and led the way in front of the head. Every time he stepped down, there would be a splash of water and a loud noise.

"What the hell!"

Kant snorted and cursed: "The weather that was originally good has changed faster than a woman changing her face!" ”

"It's useless to scold again, save some effort and hurry!"

Li Changguo understood his mood very well and relieved him.

Kant stopped talking, led the horse, and followed.

"Boom!"

A huge sound came from above, and I saw a huge mudslide falling from the sky, burying alive more than a dozen soldiers of the Tang Army who were marching.

During the march of the Tang army, there would be landslides and mudslides from time to time, and if one did not pay attention, some soldiers of the Tang army would be martyred.

Even so, it was impossible to stop the resolute footsteps of the Tang army, and they were still advancing.

I thought that the rain would soon pass, but unexpectedly, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it never stopped. In the first three or five days, the Tang army did not stand in the way, and its morale was high and its momentum was like a rainbow.

However, as time went by, more and more water accumulated in the valley, and the attacks of mudslides and landslides became more and more serious, which dealt more and more severe blows to the morale of the Tang army, and the morale of the Tang army gradually declined.

"Soldiers, there is Lianyun Castle in front! If we work harder, we will be able to rush to Lianyunbao and kill the hateful and hateful Tubo people! ”

Gao Xianzhi is a famous general, he knows very well what it means, regardless of the heavy rain, riding a horse, galloping back and forth, cheering for the soldiers.

His words were very contagious and could boost the morale of the army, and the morale of the Tang army, which was originally declining, was finally stabilized.

Li Changguo saw it in his eyes and had to admire, Gao Xianzhi deserved to be a famous general, and he was not fortunate to win the reputation of "King of the Mountains", but by virtue of his skills.

This was just the beginning, and later, the morale of the Tang army finally could not survive the troubles of heavy rain, stagnant water, muddy water flows, and landslides, and began to decline.

You can't blame Tang Jun, they have done a good job, but the natural environment is too harsh, even the iron man can't stand it.

If nothing else, just look at Gao Xianzhi himself to know how difficult it is. Gao Xianzhi's body was covered in muddy water, on his head, neck, chest, back, belly, and legs, with a thick layer of muddy water, like a clay figure, if it weren't for his eyes still turning, he would definitely be regarded as a statue.

As the commander of the army, Gao Xianzhi has become a clay figure, can ordinary soldiers still become a clay figure?

Soaking in muddy water all day long, eating in muddy water, living in muddy water, sleeping in muddy water, walking in muddy water, being in muddy water all the time, even the gods can't stand such torture, and it is impossible for the morale of the Tang Army to not be low.

Gao Xianzhi saw it in his eyes, was anxious in his heart, and tried his best to boost morale, but it was useless. No matter how loud he roared, no matter how hard he cheered, the morale of the Tang army just couldn't get up, not because the soldiers didn't want to muster up their strength, but because they really didn't have the strength.

"How's that okay?"

Gao Xianzhi is a resourceful person, he has fought on the battlefield all his life, and he doesn't know how many difficulties he encountered, so he was not as troubled as he was in front of him, and he was helpless for the first time in his life.

Looking at the exhausted Tang Jun, Gao Xianzhi's heart sank!

"Bitter or not?"

"It's not bitter!"

"Tired or not?"

"Not tired!"

At this moment, a tsunami-like roar broke out in front, and the Tang army seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, originally exhausted, and could fall down at any time due to exhaustion, and suddenly it was a living dragon, with inexhaustible strength, and inexhaustible strength, speeding up the pace and rushing forward.

"What's going on?"

Gao Xianzhi saw it in his eyes, and he didn't know why.

"Vice-Protector, look! Here, in the trees! ”

A personal guard with a red face was full of light, as if he had taken a fierce medicine, and shouted at Gao Xianzhi, roaring loudly.

Gao Xianzhi looked in the direction he pointed out, and saw a tree engraved with words, and when he saw it clearly, he couldn't help laughing: "Good Li Changguo Li Huochang, there are really you!" Hehe! This is a grand event in the Tang Dynasty! ”
