"Thirty miles further east is the last stronghold of the Tubo people from the grassland, where there is a fort dedicated to guarding against the Uighurs, and in terms of the importance of this location, the strength of the Tubo tungsten fort will definitely not be less than two hundred!"

"It's all here, not to mention two hundred Tubo people, even the Longtan Tiger's Den has to go once!"

After finishing speaking, Guo Rong put on the helmet in his hand again, and in another thirty miles is the Wu Fort of Tubo, so there must be Tubo exploration horses around.

At times like these, it's not a good idea not to wear a helmet.

Seeing Guo Rong wearing a helmet, Lu Shishi also put on a helmet, but his helmet and armor were pulled from the body of the Tubo people.

The piece of chain mail that Guo Rong exchanged for Lu Shiv when he encountered the Wei's Thousand Commanders had been damaged in the battle, and Guo Rong could help him exchange it for another one.

However, taking out a set of Tang Army armor out of thin air is not easy to explain.

When he simply fought with Guo Rong, Lu Shixi played the role of a shooter mostly as a shooter, unless he didn't need to participate in melee combat with a mending knife, so he would wear a relatively good one from the corpse of the Tubo people.

In fact, on the back of the horse, which was used as a pack horse, there was also a set of Tubo chain mail that Guo Rong could barely wear......

As they got closer and closer to the last Wu fort in Tibet, Lu Shishi and Guo Rong became more and more reticent.

After all, it can be called a fort, and the strength of it is at least at the level of 100 people, with the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army, the person who is stationed in a Wu fort in such a position should roughly be a regiment, two hundred to three hundred people!

Through the interception of messengers and the interception of horses for more than a month, coupled with the raid on the post station, the information obtained from the captured official documents, the map of the distribution of troops, and the interrogation of prisoners.

Guo Rong finally ceased to be blind to the strategic situation of the entire Hexi Corridor, and after accidentally seizing that precious map of the distribution of troops, he also had a deep understanding of the situation of the Jiedu envoy in the northwest of the Tubo River where he was now located.

To put it simply, the aftermath of the First World War in Victoria three years ago is still there!

For the Tubo people, with a total population of less than 4 million, the loss of 50,000 soldiers and horses in World War I is definitely a wound, and it is not easy to make up for it!

In order to make up for the strategic gap, the elite forces of Tubo are now placed on the west side of Jiannan Road and the east of the Hexi Corridor to defend the Tang army on the front line of Longyou Road, Guannei Road, and Jiannan Road.

The envoy of the northwest province of the Tubo River, who had jurisdiction over several prefectures such as Guazhou, Shazhou, Suzhou, Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Yizhou, and Xizhou, was mainly responsible for fighting against the Anxi army and the Uighurs.

Because it did not border with the big cannibals in the west, nor did it contact with the Tang Army in the east, and the opponent it faced was weak, it was reduced to a second-rate theater of operations on the inner line.

As a second-rate theater, the result was that a large number of elites in the northwest province of Hexi were transferred to the east to make up for the soldiers and horses under the command of the Wudao Jiedu envoy in the eastern border who had suffered heavy losses three years ago.

Reduced to a second-rate war zone, the elite has also been transferred, but this does not mean that Hexi Province can lie flat and be salted fish.

They also had the task of spying on Anxi, blockading the Uighurs, and serving as a reserve for the five eastern provinces, which completely drained the already small number of troops and horses in the northwest of the river.

Needless to say, the direct consequence was that Guo Rong led the Eighth Regiment to fight continuously as soon as it came out of Qiuzi, until he encountered the battlefield of Lu 14 in Xizhou, and the Tubo people thought that the entire Eighth Regiment was annihilated.

And then there are the Uighurs!

Although the Uighurs were poorly equipped, underarmed, and poorly armed with fighting will, this did not mean that the western province of Hexi could relax their vigilance, nor did it mean that the Tibetans' defenses in the north were empty.

The Uighurs are not fools, the Uighurs are rich, and the Uighurs do not want to be equipped with high-quality armor, but the equipment is extremely poor, and there is only one reason for this, the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo have imposed an embargo on the Uighurs with iron and armor!

In order to prohibit Tibetan merchants from selling iron to the Uighurs, the province had to station enough soldiers and horses in the border area, and send enough scouts and scouts to strictly guard it.

And after Guo Rong and Lu Shishi crossed Yizhou City, the waves of scouts and scouts they encountered were these guys.

After entering the steppe, you don't have to go to the desert and the Gobi, and it becomes very difficult to hide and dodge.

Guo Rong and Lu Shishi, who were originally very careful, drove the eight horses in the best condition under the careful selection, and carefully shuttled through the grassland, ready to kill the Tubo exploration horses that suddenly appeared.

As time passed, it became closer and closer to the Wu Fort in the east......

"Whew!"

"Ah!!h

When Guo Rong and Lu Shishi were about to quietly bypass the Tubo people's Wu Fort and enter the depths of the grassland, Wu Bao screamed again and again.

Ragged Tibetan slaves and Han Chinese slaves were working in the Wu Fort, and in the open space of the Wu Fort, a man was tied to a flagpole, and not far away there was a Tibetan man with a bow and arrow.

The target of the Tibetan people was the slave on the flagpole, and the slave had several arrows stuck in his body......

Just as the Tibetan man was about to continue shooting arrows, another middle-aged Tibetan officer in armor stopped him.

"Nima Dhaba! That's enough! If this slave dies, I will recruit a new slave from your homeland!" ”

Nima Dhaba turned around and saw the officer in armor, and couldn't help but laugh:

"It's just a Tang slave, shoot him, I'll go to the Uighurs and catch one for you, if not, how about ten?"

"Humph! The Tang people are familiar with their hands and do agricultural work quickly, so what is so good about the Uighur slaves? When I go out alone, I can catch a dozen. ”

The Tibetan officer snorted, obviously very unhappy with this guy who came to gild.

However, even if he was unhappy, he didn't have anything to do, because the surname of this rampant guy in front of him was Mu of "Mu", one of the first four tribes of Tubo!

Mu Nima Dhaba, this kid came to Yizhou to mix military merits, as long as he gets a few heads, he will soon soar, which is almost the only way for most of the high-level children of Tibet.

As a grassroots officer in Tibet, he can't look down on this kind of waste wood that pretends to bully people with the background of his family.

Although his tone was not good, Nima Dhaba obviously did not take it seriously, and after glancing at the officer beside him defiantly with a ghostly smile, he smiled and drew his bow and arrow.

"Whew!"

The arrows that flew out shot through the head of the Tang people hanging the flagpole on the spot.

"You !!"

To such an extent of provocation, the officer's face instantly turned red, and his angry eyes were clearly on the verge of rage.

Nima Dhaba, on the other hand, was still smiling, and he handed the bow and arrow to the Tibetan slave on the side, and then continued.

"Two months ago, the military report in Xizhou said that the Tang people in Qiuzi sent a team of men and horses to the east, and the whole army was wiped out in Xizhou!"

"Recently, a wave of horse thieves suddenly appeared in Yizhou, first intercepting and killing our messengers and horses, and then going south to attack the post station! Recently, I have entered the prairie again! It is said that the combat effectiveness is amazing! ”

"What do you want to say about Nima Bazar!" The officer, who was still red-eyed, did not respond angrily.

"Do you think it's possible that they're a bunch of people?"
