Chapter 115: White Dao City (Dawn of Ten Thousand Rewards and Changes)
and state to the clouds, and then to the white road.
Bingzhou was one of the northern strongholds of the Tang Empire to resist the Khanate.
And in the clouds is the junction between the Tang Dynasty and the Khanate.
Further north to Baidao, which was also a heavy garrison like the state.
It was also one of the base camps of the Khanate's southward raids.
The state and Baidao are one south and one north, and the two sides have been facing each other for more than ten years.
The people of the Khanate were savage and arrogant, and they liked to convince people with their strength, and if they had nothing to eat, they would burn and plunder everywhere.
This aggression is not only external, but even internal.
According to the normal social order, this kind of kingdom and this race will become weaker and weaker until it disappears into history.
But on the contrary, there were many kingdoms and races that were destroyed by the khanates.
Robbed other people's food, robbed slaves, robbed women, and the kingdom grew even bigger.
'Compared with the territory of the Tang Dynasty, it is nearly twice as large, and even made the former dynasty and the Tang Dynasty bow their heads and have to spend money to eliminate disasters......
Many of the past were mentioned in a low voice by Xu Maogong and others, which made Li Hongru understand beyond the Tang Dynasty.
"Hurry up here and see if I'm turning this focal length."
On a hillside, Xu Maogong began to set up a monocular, constantly adjusting the field of vision in the distance, observing the distance.
"If you can see it clearly, then it must be right."
Li Hongru formed a figure of eight and lay on a place with a little dry grass on the ground.
He felt numbness in his lower body, and hot pain in his inner thighs and buttocks.
There was some sliminess on the trouser legs.
It was a mixture of blood stains and medicine.
At this time, the body is constantly recovering.
Li Hongru is a good embodiment of a picture of a literati rushing to fight.
The fate of most literati cultivators was not much different from him, and even a little inferior.
In this case, don't expect the literati to have much combat power.
Li Hongru didn't want to get up at all at this time.
was hooked by Xu Maogong's fingers, and a bloody general suddenly lifted him up.
The telescope was also handed back to Li Hongru.
A blurry scene in the distance suddenly came into view.
This is fine-tuning not in place.
Li Hongru turned the focus wheel slightly, and the image in the lens tube gradually became clearer.
In the distance, there is an open-air city.
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as a settlement.
There are no tall walls, no defenses, and it rests on a lake that draws water, and many houses are located in it.
The house is made of wood, and the roof is mostly covered with various types of thick cloth to prevent wind and sand.
Underneath the house, there are extremely thick wheels.
If necessary, these houses can be dragged by cattle and horses to another place.
White Path City can be near this lake, or it can be relocated to another habitable spot.
Even Xu Maogong and others searched in this area several times before they found the settlement of the khanate.
Apart from the outermost fence, it is not clear that the Khanates had any defensive facilities.
The settlements were rarely patrolled, some of the tiniest children were chopping with wooden knives and swords, many women were doing laundry, and some people dressed in ragged slaves were chopping wood.
It's already quite cold, and the farther north you go, it's getting colder.
Without the bodies of the warriors, this kind of weather requires thicker clothing to keep out the cold.
Without a way to keep out the cold, these slaves would probably not have survived the winter.
Li Hongru looked around for a while, only to feel that Baidao City had almost no combat power to speak of.
He didn't know how such a city could stalemate with more than 100,000 elite soldiers in Bingzhou.
After Xu Maogong asked repeatedly, he handed the telescope back.
"It's a pity that their legion must have gone out on a safari, and if we have a legion to come, we can directly cut off their back road to White Sun City."
The telescope was placed in Xu Maogong's hand, and Xu Maogong obviously saw through something, and let out a voice of regret.
At this time, it was several kilometers away from White Sun City, and the terrain was remote.
But in the telescope, many scenes are presented one by one.
There is no need for literati to come and escape from the primordial spirit, and there is no need to be afraid of the targeted measures that the other party may take.
Xu Maogong thought it was great.
This was even the first time he had seen it with his own eyes, and it was far more detailed and confident than looking at the pictures provided by the literati.
"That's their demon altar, and they're good at puffing poisonous smoke."
"There should be domesticated snakes over there, these strange snakes are poisonous and poisonous, and there is a chance that they will be burned in a fire."
"This is our Datang's standard strong bow, and it has actually been transformed into a giant bow by them."
"It should be the stable of demon horses, the demon horses of the khanate are much more numerous than us, and when you are one-on-one, you have to not only beat people, but also kill horses."
……
Xu Maogong muttered in his mouth.
Through the telescope, he continued to inspect and add to his past judgments and observations.
The more you can see it, the more confident you will be.
"There is dust and smoke in the distance, it should be that their main army has returned from hunting."
One of the generals covered his eyebrows with his hands and looked into the distance.
In the distance, the sky was full of dust and smoke, like a small sandstorm, quickly wriggling in the direction of White Sun City.
This made Xu Maogong's telescope turn around and look into the distance.
The footage shows figures on horseback.
But what made Xu Maogong pay more attention was the mounts of these people.
Although they belong to demon horses, some horses have gone out of the category of normal horses.
The Khanate was nomadic and had a highly developed animal husbandry industry, which had accumulated countless ways to improve its mounts from ancient times to the present day.
To ordinary people, it was only a coolie and a mount for running, but in the hands of the khanate, it had developed into a weapon of war.
The khanates were good at war, and so were their mounts.
It is not surprising that some of the Khanate's horses had one, two, or even four horns on their heads.
War horses have fangs and iron hooves, which belong to the regular regimental assembly.
Some horses can even unleash hexical magic, such as spitting flames, screaming and roaring through the ears, and sprinting and striking in an instant.
It's a powerful country right away.
The main force quickly approached Bairi City, and Xu Maogong's face was extremely heavy.
He was obviously comparing the possible scenarios when the main forces of the Khanate and the main forces of the Tang Dynasty collided.
If it can win one-on-one battles, Datang will not spend money and money to build tall city walls, but will be like Bairi City.
Holding on means being inferior.
But sooner or later, the Tang Dynasty would be at war with the Khanate.
The Tang Dynasty, which is barely smooth, has only an average autumn harvest this year, and the days of the Khanate in the north are even more difficult.
The khanates rarely cultivated food, let alone stored it.
Many living creatures, such as cattle, sheep and horses, were the food they moved.
If there is no food in winter, a certain number of cattle and sheep are slaughtered.
If there are not enough cattle and sheep, they will eat a good meal and start another war of plunder.
As for the life or death of the plundered, that would not be in the eyes of the khanate.
Cultures and philosophies differed, and in the eyes of the khanates, this plunder was as natural as hunting, and it was their glory to bring food to their tribes and families.
"Dubi is actually here, what is he doing in White Sun City?"
Xu Maogong held up the binoculars, obviously looking for the object he was looking for.
Halfway through, he handed the telescope to the others to see.
"Huh? Isn't it amazing? Li Hongru said strangely.
"That's the king of the Khanate, and his strength is comparable to mine," Xu Maogong replied cautiously.
"Then you are already very powerful, you can directly slap their king," Li Hongru boasted.
Xu Maogong once boasted that his strength was at the top level in Datang, but there were also those who were more powerful than Xu Maogong.
The governor of a state has the same strength as the king of the khanate, which makes Li Hongru feel that the strength of the Tang generals is quite strong, which is much more than that of the khanate.
"Their country is not the strongest of the king, and I can't stop it, the thunder and flame horse he rode is too biao, it is the king of horses, almost strange, if it is a battlefield meeting, it should be me who is scolded by him."
Xu Maogong sighed.
The personal strength is comparable, but Ma Xun is a step ahead, which makes him have little temper.
"Hold the bow as strong, and use the arrow as the long. Shoot the man first and shoot the horse, and capture the thief first and capture the king. ”
"How can such a good archer shoot his horse, even if he can shoot that far, then he can't tell the difference......"
Li Hongru shook his head nonsense, which made Xu Maogong refute.
He was just about to mention the difficulty of the shot, when his head turned to the telescope.
This is a treasure mirror that allows generals to see the distance clearly.
If you have enough chance, you may have a chance to sneak up and kill the opponent's mount.
