Chapter 0470. Rain, accidents, battlefields

The system is determined by people, even if it is a caste purity system to maintain the status of Brahmins, after three days of bathing and fasting under the sorrowful urging of King Aroshun, he had to gather all the most famous Brahmin monks in the territory together to hold a secret religious meeting, the content of the meeting is unknown, anyway, after the meeting, hundreds of Brahmin priests came to the army to launch a call for divine warfare. {This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.]

"Those Tang people are filthy, kill them, I Tianzhu can be cleaned, otherwise sooner or later everyone will be polluted."

"In order to clean Tianzhu and the body is stained with ox blood, as well as the unclean blood of the Tang people, it is for the devotion of Shiva God, looking at Mount Everest, the god will personally eliminate the uncleanness on the body and become pure!"

Under the brahmin so painstaking propaganda, this dispelled the war-weariness of the Tianzhu army, and finally calmed down the various obstacles set up by the Tang army, and pursued all the way along the narrow and rugged path of Tianzhu to the north, and the speed was much faster.

But no matter how eager the Tianzhu army was to fight, it had to stalemate the battle here, and the Tang army itself was caught off guard.

The Tang army camp set up tents, and the more than 100,000 troops became a large area, with fence walls and enemy buildings in order, compared to the Tianzhu army, which was obviously embarrassed and scattered, except for tens of thousands of Kshatriyas living in tents, the remaining huge number of Indian infantry could only pick palm leaves and wood to simply build a simple shed to accommodate themselves.

But the Tianzhu army is too huge, the east and west camps stretch for forty miles, and people, cavalry, and war elephants can be seen everywhere, like a desolate ancient beast, crouching here, putting great pressure on the Tang army in the confrontation.

The original plan was to attract the Tianzhu army to the north near the Kapila Acropolis to fight, where in Nepal, the terrain is rugged, which can greatly limit the activities of the Tianzhu army and war elephants, according to the usual practice, the Tianzhu people can not catch up with the Tang army in any case, the Tang Dynasty can rely on the heavy infantry to go so far, it is because of the mobility of the Tang army, almost everyone is equipped with horses, even if the southern Tang army lacks horses, donkeys, cattle, mules and other walking animals and captured Tianzhu horses, Li Jie still gathered more than 100,000, In terms of mobility, the Tianzhu two-legged infantry was by no means an opponent.

The only point that Li Jie and Wang Xuance missed was rain!

In June, the Tianzhu rainy season, the warm and humid air flow from the Indian Ocean was blocked by the Himalayas, and a spectacular heavy rain fell in North India.

The heavy rain continued to beat the Tang army camp, hiding in tents, the Tang army officers and soldiers were in accordance with the team, and the team shrunk into a ball, because of the opportunity in advance, the Tang army camp was able to preset a relatively high place, and also dug drainage ditches in the camp in advance, and some unlucky sergeants were out to the danger of flooding the Seventh Army, and each tent was equipped with a coal stove, and the stove was gurgling and steaming.

However, when the hot water in the kettle was boiled, the faces of every Tang Army soldier showed a bitter color, and they raised their cups one by one depressedly, and even the face of Wu Chang, who lifted the kettle, became very strange, and he poured hot yellow and scorched liquid into himself and every soldier's cup.

This is also the reason why Tang Jun did not have a large-scale adaptation to water and soil, dysentery, Coptis water, Pei Ying's prescription, you have to drink a pot every day, a simple taste of medicinal materials, but berberine has a miraculous effect on dysentery bacilli, * water and soil adaptation.

In response to the rainy season, Pei Ying issued a new prescription, Shuanghuanglian, Huangcen, honeysuckle, forsythia, through the huge logistics system of the Tang Army, a huge order was issued in Datang, and the logistics army continued to arrive.

"Boss, are you still drinking?"

"This bag is drunk at night, look at your kid scared, that little bit of breath." Then the rain rinsed the kettle and re-boiled the tea, Wu Chang couldn't help laughing, forgetting that his hand holding the water cup just now was also trembling for a long time before pouring it down, after washing the kettle, it was a pot full of rainwater, Wu Chang took out some green tea from the tea pot and boiled it anew.

"Or, boss, throw these things out, no one will know anyway." The recruits came up with a hippie smile again, but this time, a kind captain turned his face cold.

"Presumptuous!"

Seeing that his head was angry, the recruit shrank back in a trembling manner, after all, his own captain was rare in a hundred battles, unlike other soldiers who often bullied, and no one wanted to provoke his own captain to be angry. However, looking at the depressed and helpless faces of a large number of recruits, Wu Chang still smiled helplessly and sighed.

"You are in the midst of blessings and do not know blessings!"

With a look of memory on his face, Wu Chang said with emotion: "At the beginning, there was such a terrible thing on the battlefield in Liaodong, and Lao Tzu would not be left alone." ”

"Liaodong battlefield?"

"Fight Goguryeo?"

At the mention of the battle that year, a large group of recruits couldn't help but show excited looks, and they pouted one after another: "Captain Wu, how did you fight back then, tell us about it." ”

"Yes, in the battle of Huashan, our King Min is alone in the west of the city, tell us about it."

In fact, the glorious examples of the past of Fujian have been told to these soldiers as military propaganda, but where are there real people who have experienced it personally, but looking at the faces of the recruits who are looking forward to it, they are full of solemnity and helplessness.

"There's nothing to talk about, those military scribes basically finished what they had to say, but Lao Tzu wants to tell you what happened later, when Lao Tzu was still under the command of Master Li Ji of the Guanzhong Army."

All the recruits widened their eyes with interest, but after only a moment, they all turned into sighs, shouting in disbelief: "It's just such a small opening, fighting all day, and Brother Zhu died of illness after killing hundreds of warriors?" ”

"Not only him, but also Xu Sun, Radar, a fierce man who is two heads taller than Lao Tzu, died of dysentery, a little diarrhea, the whole person is out of shape, a Wu ten people, Lao Tzu himself survived, at that time I couldn't drink these bitter water, this is the grace of the prince of Fujian." Carrying the bag of medicinal materials, Wu Chang said with emotion.

Realizing the cruelty hidden under the surface of the romance of war again, a group of recruits looked at the heavy bag of medicinal herbs, and their eyes became silent, and the bitter and shivering potion was not so unacceptable.

"Babies, if you want to go back alive and bring the merits to your wives and children, just drink it!"

"Whoa!" Listening to the old captain's sigh of emotion, he said that there were recruits who nodded emphatically.

Things happened in the same way in various camps of the Tang Army, which gave the battalions of the Tang Army some unique fighting methods and time perception in the continuous rain, and invisibly Li Jie's prestige rose to a higher level.

However, when the morale of the Tang army was rising, the upper echelons of the Fujian Governor's Mansion were even more worried.

In the center of the barracks, in the larger tents, along the edge of the canvas, the rainwater flowed into a stream and poured into the drainage ditches in all directions.

Rao is like this, the whole big tent is also filled with a damp smell, Li Jie's face is extremely gloomy, helplessly watching the barrels of gunpowder being pried open, whether it is the nitrate that has been kept separately or the gunpowder that has been prepared, almost all of them have changed color.

"What about the loss?"

"Back to King Min, when I found it, the gunpowder of the ninth layer was already like this." The lieutenant of the warehouse management was trembling on his knees, which was a major mistake, especially when he looked at the ugly faces of the generals.

In order to meet the elephant soldiers this time, the Min State removed more than 200 copper cannons from the ship, and it took a lot of tears to carry them to the battlefield, but now, the gunpowder has become like this, and a large number of copper cannons have directly become scrap copper, and even the ballista and trebuchet can't compare, and the form can suddenly become severe.

"The gunpowder should be dried as much as possible, dried, and notify Lao Liu, so that he can find a way to transport it over again, and pay attention to sealing and moisture-proof."

The gunpowder that can't be burned by the torch, Li Jie is not in the mood to pay attention anymore, the top priority is how to solve it, leaving the gunpowder warehouse, while walking, while Li Jie is still eagerly ordering, the heralds scattered one by one, Wang Xuance who followed behind him was extremely dignified, and after a while, Wang Xuance finally became ruthless.

"Your Highness, it's really impossible to withdraw troops, right?"

Listening to Wang Xuance's advice, Li Jie couldn't help but look back in amazement, but seeing his rain-covered face with an anxious and sincere face, Li Jie lowered his head in silence.

"Your Highness, this terrain is too unfavorable, once the rainy season fades, there are plains before and after, now artillery can't be used, and some giant crossbow trebuchets alone can't stop the war elephants, rather than this, it is better to take advantage of the night rain to retreat overnight, with the Wangshe City and a series of fortresses around it, Aroshun can't be broken, and he can make a comeback in the coming year!" Full of excitement, Wang Xuance waved his arms exaggeratedly, but after thinking for a while, Li Jie raised his head again.

"I can't go back."

"Once you retreat, I'm afraid you will no longer be able to conquer the hearts of the Tianzhu people."

There are no grandiose words, and there are no generous statements, and it seems that after recounting a trivial matter with an expressionless face, Li Jie led the guards to get busy anxiously, leaving Wang Xuance stunned for a long time, and then gritted his teeth and followed.

"Take out all the stored accessories, mobilize the soldiers to assemble the ballista and trebuchet, I hope it's still too late!" Wiping the rain on his face, Wang Xuance also followed the command to remedy it.

The rainy season of Tianzhu is unexpectedly long, the continuous rain has fallen under the Himalayas for a month, the sky seems to have brewed enough sadness for the decisive battle, and the clear sky and bright sun are slowly exposed, the sun has risen for a long time, the wet mud on the ground has not been dried up, and the white mist that has been steamed is magical.

The two long-awaited armies finally slowly opened out of the camp, and in the binoculars, looking at the wet banners of the Tianzhu army on the opposite side slowly unfurled, and arranged a shocking formation in the sun, Li Jie couldn't help but put down the binoculars and muttered with emotion: "Ling Gu's annoying waiting is finally over!" ”

"Push!"

Below, in the loud shouting orders of Wu Chang and Zhengzheng, countless bed crossbows and huge counterweight trebuchets were also slowly erected in the Tang Army's military formation, like the arms of giants, straight into the sky.

The decisive battle seems to be imminent.
