"Quick! Hurry up!"

"Captain, it's not early, I'm afraid I won't be able to get to the Shule Valley today, it's better to camp on the spot, and it's not too late to set off early tomorrow morning!"

Fan Shi, the captain of the artillery team, looked up at the sky, and at this moment the sun had already set, and the sky was getting dark.

But he shouldered the heavy responsibility of escorting the artillery to join Li Jing, and if the artillery could not be delivered in time, it would affect the battle between the Tang army and the Tubo army in the Shule River Valley.

He could not afford to delay the fighter plane and affect the victory or defeat of the war, but it was too late and prone to accidents, so he could not ignore the lives of his subordinates.

Moreover, the artillery was bulky, which was not conducive to transportation in the first place, but fortunately there was a carriage to drag the artillery away.

Fan Shi looked around and found no favorable terrain that could be used to set up camp.

Camped in such a vast grassland, once the enemy attacked, they simply could not cope with it.

"This is not the place to set up camp, everyone persists and walks forward a little further to see if there is a suitable camp!"

Fan Shi turned around and shouted!

The crowd drove their horses and dragged their heavy cannons on.

At that moment, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the distance, and a group of horsemen was galloping towards them.

Fan Shi was shocked!

"Be on guard! Protect the artillery!"

The sergeant immediately removed the musket from his back and relied on the carriage for defense.

Soon!

A black flag embroidered with the word Mu appeared in front of their eyes.

"Captain, that seems to be General Mu Li's banner!"

Zhenwei's lieutenant Wei Chi Qiang pointed to the flag that appeared in the distance, showing a hint of joy and breathing a sigh of relief, it turned out to be his own person, and he had a false alarm.

"Don't jump to conclusions too early, you can't take it lightly until you see General Mu Li, what if it's the enemy pretending?"

Fan Shi was more cautious than Wei Chiqiang, after all, what they were escorting was a big killing weapon, and if it fell into the hands of the enemy, it would be a big loss for the Tang army.

Soon a group of cavalry appeared, all dressed in the leather armor of the steppe cavalry, and were coming towards them.

"Whoever is coming, please stop quickly, otherwise, we are welcome!"

Fan Shi shouted at the cavalry.

"Phew!"

Mu Lile stopped his horse and shouted: "I am Mu Li, the general of Dingyiwei, and I have come to protect the artillery by the order of the regent, what about your captain?" Tell him to come out and talk!"

"Captain, it's really General Mu Li!"

Wei Chi was overjoyed, and with Mu Li leading the troops to protect the artillery, the burden on them was loosened a lot, and their safety could be guaranteed.

"I'm Captain Fan Shi of Zhenwei, and I've met General Mu Li!"

Fan Shi asked people to put away the musket, got up and walked to Mu Li, and saluted with crossed hands.

"The regent is worried that you will be in danger, so he sent me to bring 10,000 cavalry over, you have a smooth journey, there is no problem with the artillery!"

Mu Li rode on a horse and said condescendingly.

"General rest assured, there are not a lot of artillery, there is no danger on the road for the time being, because the artillery is bulky, only horses can pull the artillery, the speed is not fast!"

"I'm afraid we won't be able to make it to the Shule Valley today to join the regent, and we are planning to find a camp and set up camp."

Fan Shi said.

"It's okay, the regent has long expected it, and is worried that you will be attacked by the enemy at night when you are camping outside, so he specially ordered me to lead 10,000 cavalry to protect you, has the camp been chosen?"

Mu Li nodded.

"Not yet, it's not a good place to camp!"

"Since you haven't found a suitable one yet, I know a place suitable for camping, so come with me!"

Mu Li heard that Fan Shi had not found a camp yet, and on the way here, he happened to find a place that was particularly suitable for camping, and it was not far from here.

"There's General Law!"

Under Mu Li's escort, he came to the place Mu Li said, Fan Shi ordered to camp on the spot, bury the pot and cook, and spend the night here tonight!

The tent was set up in the camp, and Mu Li asked the soldiers to keep their armor and horses from leaving their saddles, and set up searchlights and sentry posts around the camp to avoid enemy night attacks.

……

Shule River Basin, the camp of the Tang Army.

Li Jing stood in front of the camp and looked across the river.

On the opposite bank, the Tibetan camp lit up with sparks, but the faint light of the fire failed to dispel the night.

"Regent!"

Guo Yuanzhen came to Li Jing's side and saluted with his hands crossed.

Li Jing didn't look back, his eyes were firmly fixed on the firelight on the opposite bank, and the place where the firelight was lit was the Tubo camp.

"What do you say Tubo is doing on Qinling?"

"The minister can't guess, presumably like us, he is also watching us on the other side!"

"Are they leaving?"

"According to your orders from the Lord Regent, the three thousand musketeers have crossed the river at night, and judging by the hour, they should have almost reached the other side!"

Li Jing looked back at Guo Yuanzhen beside him and said, "You seem to have something to say, but you didn't say it, if you have any doubts in your heart, you might as well say it!"

"Regent, on Qinling is the first general in Tubo, my Tang Dynasty has fought with him several times, but he was defeated in his hands, and only sent 3,000 musket teams to raid the enemy camp, I am afraid it will be ......"

When Guo Yuanzhen said this, he stopped and did not continue, Li Jing naturally understood the meaning of Guo Yuanzhen's words.

Guo Yuanzhen had never seen the strength of the musket team, so naturally he would not know that the 3,000 musket team was enough to hang tens of thousands of troops, plus the grenades issued to them, even if they solved the hundreds of thousands of troops, it would not be a problem.

When the guns are fired, they will know how powerful the musketeers are, and the musketeers will make a name for themselves in this era!

"You don't have to worry, the soldiers of the musket team are all trained elite soldiers, don't underestimate them, these three thousand people are enough to level an army of 100,000."

"I want to see how the Qinling responds, whether the Tubo people's knives are powerful, or the guns of my musket team are powerful!"

Seeing Li Jing's confident appearance, although Guo Yuanzhen was still a little suspicious, he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Perhaps, what is there in this that he doesn't know the inside story, but no matter what he thinks, he can't figure out that 3,000 people with strange weapons can defeat an army of 100,000?

The Lord Regent would not tell him the truth, and no matter how much he guessed, he could not figure out why, and hoped that the three thousand men would really be as the Lord Regent had said.

Li Jing turned around and went back to the camp, it was windy outside, and it was really cold!

Guo Yuanzhen silently followed him and returned to the camp.

After returning to the camp, Li Jing called Heizhi Changzhi and asked Heizhi Changzhi to prepare, and when the Tubo camp was in chaos, he immediately led his troops to rush across the river to eliminate Tubo.

Hei Tooth Changzhi is very puzzled, Tubo has a talk about Qinling, how can there be chaos?

You must know that Qin Ling has always been strict in governing the army and strict in military discipline, even if he wants to attack at night, the chance of success is not great, and he will even return in vain.

Li Jing told Hei Tooth Changzhi not to worry too much, just be ready and wait for the opportunity!

The black tooth Changzhi had no choice but to take the order!
