479 race against time

"The last general...... Weekend...... Listen to orders! ”

Admiral Guo Zhen looked at Tang Ping's heart with a huge shock.

It turned out that he had also seen Tang Ping at the Qiongzhou Naval Base, but he had never seen such a Tang Ping.

He even doubted that if he didn't give the order, Tang Ping would kill him.

And he also knew that what Tang Ping said was urgent.

However, he still said: "It's just that there is only one fast warship in the military port now!" ”

The implication is that there is only one warship that can rush through at the first time.

"One by one, send me the most elite fighters, and the other ships will follow."

Tang Ping loosened his collar: "I'm sorry, I know this is not in order, but the situation is really urgent, and I will ask the military department to make up the transfer order afterwards." ”

Guo Zhen saluted and went to arrange.

Qiongzhou Port has been established for several years, and various drills have been held every three or five months.

Naturally, all fleets set off in full.

In just one hour, Tang Ping boarded the "Nanhai 052", which is now the fastest warship in Qiongzhou Port, and at full speed, it can reach the closest seaport to the jade mine in two days.

Other ships will follow at full speed behind.

After getting on the boat, Tang Ping returned to Chang'an, not only got the order of the Ministry of War, but also Li Shimin's holy decree, and then took Xue Rengui and a few people back to Nanhai 052.

"General Guo, this is an order from the Ministry of War, and this is Your Majesty's holy decree." Tang Ping handed over both things to Guo Zhen: "I'm sorry today." ”

An apology is necessary, Tang Ping knows that for the sake of stability, in fact, except for Li Shimin, no one should have the privilege of transferring troops like this is the most stable.

However, if he had gone to Chang'an City to call the military department to issue an order, it would have taken at least two or three hours to come and go.

Saving people is like fighting a fire, not to mention two or three hours, even two or three minutes may have different results.

"The last general understands!" Guo Zhen said and asked with some concern: "In order to pursue speed, our battleship only has two bow guns and three hundred combatants. ”

"I wonder how many enemy troops there are?"

Tang Ping looked at the direction he was going and said, "As little as 50,000, as much as 400,000!" ”

"Goo-dong!" Guo Zhen

swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he is not a person who is afraid of death, but the gap between the three hundred naval army and the enemy army of more than 50,000 is a little too big?

He had all the firearms for the three hundred sailors, and the armor, swords and guns were all the best, and if he wanted to defend them, it would not be a problem to see the terrain to block thousands of people.

But fifty thousand! What's that concept?

"It's not about going head-to-head with them, we're here to save people!" Tang Ping patted him on the shoulder: "Take a good rest with your brothers, recharge your energy, and you may enter the battle at any time after you get off the ship." ”

Tang Ping also wanted to rest, but thinking about the people in the jade mine, he couldn't sleep.

Tang Gui knew that because this surname was followed by his surname, he was originally a Yanbei refugee, and followed him back to Chang'an to settle down in his special economic zone.

Later, he was very diligent in both learning literature and martial arts, and he learned very well, and gradually got the reuse of the Tang firm.

Tang Ping still remembered that day when Tang Gui told him that he was just a pariah, without a name, and hoped that Tang Ping would give him one.

Tang Ping told him that no one should be a pariah, and you will be called Tang Gui in the future.

Later, Tang Gui got married and gave himself a gift, and his wife was in a caravan with him.

Tang Ping did not prohibit such a situation, because as soon as the caravan went out, it would be as short as three or five months, and as long as one or two years, and it would not be able to return home.

The two of them are in a caravan, and it's good to go out together and take care of each other.

But judging from the letter received, Tang Gui was the only one left in their caravan, so that meant that his new wife should also ......

Thinking of this, Tang Ping smashed his fist on the table.

was careless, he only thought that Tianzhu would gradually settle down, and no matter which force in Tianzhu did not dare to touch his own people, so he approved the Tianzhu trade route.

But he forgot that there was also a powerful Arab empire to the west.

It's just that I didn't expect them to be different from history, and they defeated Tianzhu decades in advance.

When Tang Ping hurried to the jade mine, the Arab army finally discovered the traces of Raja Sri and their retreat.

"Commander, they should have just hid in this mountain."

Outside the destroyed city of Ratan, a scout pointed to a map.

"Humph!" Amru, the commander of the Arab Empire, snorted coldly: "Just let me see who is so powerful that he can repel my 50,000 vanguard army!" ”

He commanded the best Khorasan cavalry in the Arab Empire, with which he defeated the Byzantine army and captured the Byzantine emperor in the Battle of the Yarmouk Valley only last year.

When attacking Egypt, he killed the opponent's 100,000 army with 10,000 cavalry.

So even if it was a night attack, his 50,000 army was actually repelled by thousands of Tianzhu troops, which made him very unhappy.

I heard from my subordinates that the weapons used by the other party were actually more sophisticated than their Damascus knives, and in the confrontation of weapons, their own side was actually at a disadvantage.

And the same sophisticated weapons were also seen in the hands of a caravan guard in the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, he wanted to know where these weapons came from, and if his Khorasan cavalry could have such sophisticated equipment, then the time for the Arab Empire to unify the world would be faster.

Gathering the remnants of the army that had been routed by Raja Sri and bringing his main army, almost 200,000 men, it took only half a day to break through the city of Latan, which was defended by Latan Tata.

However, in the siege battle, there was no Tianzhu army that used sophisticated weapons that night.

In addition, there were almost no civilians in the city, so Amr judged that these civilians must have fled from the city of Latan with the Tianzhu army.

So he immediately sent out scouts, and now he has finally found the traces of the other party.

"Lord Commander, it's just some people and thousands of remnants, just let your subordinates go!"

Jafar saluted and said, "I will definitely bring back the most slaves and their weapons." ”

"Okay!" Amr also felt that there was no need to use a knife to kill chickens, so he gave this task to Jafar.

Jafar led his army of 50,000 toward the Emerald Mine.

At the same time, Tang Ping and the others also entered the Oolong River, an inland river in Myanmar.

The jade mine is in the later Hpakant mining area, and this oolong river just crosses the entire Hpakant mining area.

Now, as long as you go a few dozen kilometers north against the current, you can reach the wharf in the mining area.

The two sides, one north and one south, almost simultaneously headed towards the jade mine, depending on who was faster.
