To rescue the 9th Regiment of Selüborg, it still had to rely on the Modao soldiers of Cui He's brigade.

Although there is a majestic mountain of Ni Python between Khotan and Selüburg, the straight-line distance is much closer than that from Bomi River to Selüburg, which is seven or eight hundred miles.

After three days of arduous trekking, the Cui River Department arrived at the northern foot of Ni Python Mountain.

Before he could rest, Cui He led the Modao Brigade to start climbing Ni Python Mountain.

At this time, it is still January, and it is the season when the heavy snow covers the mountain in Ni Python Mountain.

Ni Python Mountain is actually the Karakoram Mountain, with an average altitude of more than 5,000 meters, the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, and there will be snowstorms from time to time, and professional mountaineering teams rarely climb the Karakoram Mountain in this season.

But with Lu Xiaoning, the Upper Realm Heavenly Master, all this is no longer a problem.

Because Lu Xiaoning can not only rise to a height of 100 meters for long-distance observation, but also go down to the ground at a depth of 100 meters to find out whether there are ice cracks or ice caves, and all risk factors can be eliminated in advance.

Therefore, Cui He's department did not encounter a crisis, nor did it take an extra mile to detour.

It only took seven or eight days for the Cui River to cross the Ni Python Mountain and reach the southern foothills.

Looking down from the 100-meter-high cliff, you can already see the Sellurg at the foot of the mountain very clearly, and Lu Xiaoning also saw the whole picture of Selluhburg for the first time.

The terrain of Sellurg is indeed very dangerous, the north is a thousand-meter-high cliff, and the south is the turbulent and turbulent Sellu River, so there are no walls on the north and south sides of Sellurg, only the east and west sides have walls, the city wall is about two feet high, about six meters, this height is not very high, but it is more than enough in this place.

Because of the terrain restrictions, the Tubo army could not deploy its troops, nor could it use heavy equipment such as ladders, so it could only use the tactics of adding fuel to the siege with wooden ladder ants, that is, through continuous attrition, the defenders were consumed.

The Tibetan army must have also known that there was only one regiment in Cyruburg, two hundred Tang troops.

Even if you add the people in the fort, there will be more than 300 defenders at most, and there will be no more than 400 people.

Therefore, as long as a high-intensity war of attrition is maintained, it can be said that there is no suspense about exhausting the defenders.

This is the same reason as Ge Shuhan's Longyou army attacking Shibao City, that is, fighting with you.

If 5,000 is not enough, then 10,000, and if 10,000 is not enough, then 50,000, I don't believe that it will not kill you.

As of today, the Tibetan army's ant-attached siege to Cyruburg has lasted for nearly a month, and there are not many defenders left in the fort, at most there are about a hundred, and they are not even satisfied with the walls on both sides.

This can be seen from the siege battle that has just ended.

"Whoa!" Cui He sang to the sky and asked, "Is Lu Tianshi here?" ”

Lu Tianshi has been with them for more than ten days, but after more than ten days of getting along, Cui He and his nearly 100 Mo sword soldiers have more respect for Lu Tianshi, and at the same time, they are more dependent on them.

"Yes." Lu Tianshi's voice came from the air, "Cui He, what do you want to say?" ”

Cui Hedao: "Dare to ask Lu Tianshi, do you want to go down the mountain and enter Celeborg now?" ”

The Tibetan army was divided into two groups, east and west, stationed in the east and west of Sayluburg, but they did not completely block the east and west gates of Sayluburg, and they could still enter Sellüburg while it was dark.

Obviously, the Tibetan army here did not know that Khotan had sent reinforcements.

It is estimated that the dozen or so Tibetan troops who had fled from the oasis had not yet escaped.

Or simply died in the snow and ice of Tulun Moraine or Niboyi Mountain.

But Lu Xiaoning has a new idea, why not try to rebel?

It is estimated that it is difficult to rebel against the Tubo warriors, after all, the few warriors who rebelled before were also very reluctant, and it was more about the herd mentality and the broken window effect, but the Tubo warriors in the camp under the mountain did not have such conditions at all, so it was almost impossible to rebel against these Tubo warriors, and Lu Xiaoning did not make this fantasy.

But it should not be difficult to rebel against the slaves who follow the army.

Serfdom in Tibet relied on brutal repressive rule and brainwashing by the Yellow Sect.

Whether it is the serfs of Weizang Wuru or the peripheral princely states, one is afraid of cruel punishment, and the other is that they will be willingly subjected to exploitation by religious brainwashing, but once the inertia is broken, let these serfs open their eyes and have a new understanding of this world, they can no longer be willing to bear the exploitation of the king of the soil or the Tibetan Zampu.

At that moment, Lu Xiaoning said: "Cui He, do you think that even if Cyruburg has more of your Modao Brigade, it can last for a few days." ”

Cui He estimated it in his heart, and replied with his crossed hands: "Go back to Lu Tianshi, at most hold on for half a month." ”

Lu Xiaoning then asked: "What if Li Siye didn't arrive half a month later, and Feng Changqing didn't arrive either?" ”

"This ......" Cui He choked and said helplessly, "If this is the case, Cui He and all the robes will definitely die here." ”

"Then now, this Heavenly Master has taught you a truth, never pin your hopes on others, the only thing you can rely on is yourself." Lu Xiaoning said, "Therefore, we must draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle, severely damage or even defeat the Tibetan army east of Sayluburg, as long as the Tubo army east of Sayluburg is defeated, the Tibetan army in the west will also collapse without a fight." ”

"Huh?" Cen Shen was dumbfounded, "Master Lutian, this fact is difficult to do, the difference in strength is too great. ”

Cui He also said: "Although the elite of my Modao Brigade can all be one hundred, and at most they can defeat ten thousand people, but the Tubo army east of Saylubao is full of fifty or sixty thousand people. ”

Lu Xiaoning snorted: "Do you know how many men and horses were used by Li Jing, the Duke of Weiguo, to defeat the Turkic 100,000 iron horsemen?" ”

"This is a grand event in this dynasty, how do you not know." Cen Shen blushed and replied, "Wei Guogong only used 3,000 iron cavalry to defeat 100,000 iron cavalry of the Eastern Turks, captured Jieli Khan alive in one fell swoop and escorted him to Chang'an. ”

Lu Xiaoning asked Cui He again: "Why was Wei Guogong able to defeat the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Eastern Turks with 3,000 iron cavalry?" ”

Cui Hedao: "Because Su Dingfang, the Duke of the Criminal State, led two hundred iron horsemen to raid the tooth tent of Jieli Khan on a snowy night. ”

"That's right." Lu Xiaoning said casually, "Su Dingfang can chisel through the tooth tent of Jieli Khan with two hundred iron horses, why can't you Cui He chisel through the tooth tent of the sheep and the king of the soil with a hundred Mo sword soldiers?" ”

Cui He couldn't help but feel excited, and said in his heart that he could really try it.

Cen Shen was anxious at once, and hurriedly persuaded: "This matter must not be done, the bravery of the Tubo army is not comparable to the Turkic army, and there are three thousand light cavalry of Wei Guogong behind the two hundred iron cavalry of the Duke of Xingguo, and at this time, behind the ninety Mo sword soldiers of Cui Brigadeshuai, there is no three thousand light cavalry of Anxi. ”

"Who says no?" Lu Xiaoning snorted.

"Huh?" Cen Shen was stunned and said, "Could it be that the army of the envoy has arrived?" ”

Cen Shen returned to the Dao Lu Tianshi, who had already seen the main force of Tian Zhen's Quy Nhon army.

"No, I'm not talking about Tian Zhen's Quy Nhon Army." Lu Xiaoning said, "I'm talking about the twenty or thirty thousand sheep and slaves in the Tubo camp under the mountain, and this heavenly master has a way to rebel against these two or thirty thousand sheep and slaves, just wait for Cui He to lead the Modao Brigade into the Tubo camp, and these two or thirty thousand slaves will respond in groups, and the Tubo army will inevitably collapse at that time!" ”

"This ......" Cen Shen didn't dare to object anymore, as if it was really possible?

Cui He even sang with his hands crossed: "Well, Cui He is dispatched by Lu Tianshi." ”

"Okay, you stay in the mountains for now." Lu Xiaoning immediately ordered, "Remember to find a place to avoid light and raise a fire to keep warm, don't freeze your hands and feet, so as not to be able to use it when the time comes." ”

"Whoa!" Cui Hedao, "Obey the decree of Lu Tianshi. ”

Lu Xiaoning said to Lu Wen again: "Lu Wen, I'm afraid you have to take a risk, pretending to be a messenger who came back from Khotan to report the news, and let Tenzin Quzha capture you back to the camp." ”

This is also a matter of no choice, because Lu Xiaoning cannot leave Lu Wen more than a hundred meters, so if Lu Wen does not enter the Tubo camp, Lu Xiaoning will not be able to enter the Tubo military camp to implement the rebellion plan.

"Whoa!" Lu Wen responded without hesitation, "Wen respectfully obeys the decree of Lu Tianshi. ”

"Okay." Lu Xiaoning said again, "Then you go and talk to Tenzin Quzha and them." ”

"Whoa!" Lu Wen sang, and immediately went to Tenzin Quzha to wait for the Tubo pawns.

Soon, Tenzin Quzha and other thirteen slaves followed the five sheep and warriors led by Cisang Yundun to find their way down the mountain, and Lu Wen became a prisoner of these Tibetans.
