Chapter 343: Operation Blade
As the so-called night of murder in the dark, the wind is high and the day is set on fire. Just after midnight, when the moon was dark and the wind was high, there was a thunderous roar outside the city.
Like a galloping horse, it rushes through the front, and can be heard from a long distance.
This is exactly the battalion of guards who cooperated with the operation, dragging two or three stones behind each person. The momentum was huge, and coupled with the cover of the night, it was impossible to tell how many people there were.
"Kill, kill, kill."
In the dark night, the three killing characters of the guard battalion reverberated over the entire city.
"Enemy Attack ~~~"
"If there is an enemy, go and report to General Tomon."
The Tibetan soldiers were only confused for a moment, and a general in armor on a tall horse galloped over.
This man was the general Tomon who remained in Logo. He is also one of Songtsen Gampo's most trusted generals.
"General, there are enemies, but I can't see how many people there are, but the number of horses should be tens of thousands of horses."
Tumon stood in the tower and looked into the depths of darkness, as if he could see through the darkness, and after a long time he said:
"The enemy is dark and I am clear, don't act rashly, always be prepared. It is not convenient for them to storm the city in the dark. As soon as Tomon finished speaking, a herald ran up.
"Report ~~~ Report to the general, there are a large number of enemy troops in Xicheng, because the number is not clear in the night, but the number of horses should be tens of thousands."
"Tens of thousands more?" Tomon was a little surprised, there were already tens of thousands of horses in the south, and tens of thousands of horses in the west?
"Take General Ben to check it out."
"Kill, kill, kill"
As soon as Tomon arrived, he heard the sound of killing in the dark night, which was deafening.
"Send an order to send 10,000 horses to help guard the west gate. Another 20,000 horses were transferred to guard the south gate and the east gate. ”
"General, there are thousands of people in the palace. There aren't many people in the city either, so what if there are young people at this time. The adjutant reminded.
"Zampu is not in the imperial city, what imperial city is still guarding, let the imperial city army come down to patrol the city, and the palace can guard two thousand people."
As long as Zampu is alive, there will be an imperial city everywhere.
"Obey."
After a while, another herald said that there were enemy troops in the south of the city, and in a moment there were enemy troops in the east.
Tomon sat in the middle of the south gate, and he now guessed that this must be the enemy's suspicious formation, but he did not dare to attack rashly, for fear of being ambushed.
What if the enemy just wants him to think that he is suspicious. He didn't dare to gamble, he could only wait.
But this enemy really did not stop, and the three gates of the south, east, and west turned back and forth, which made the city extremely tense.
As time passed, it was past midnight, and the frequency of the enemy began to decrease, and the people of the city were resting, except for the occasional group of Imperial City guards with torches coming out to patrol.
Zhao Tiejun's team also set off, and they were divided into four squads, two above and two below. By the night, through the streets and alleys, walking in the darkness, like the shadow of the night,
"Puff puff puff" five times in a row, the sound of crossbow arrows entering the flesh, and then the torch went out and fell into darkness.
Immediately after a rustling sound, the torches were lit again, and the five Tibetan soldiers continued to patrol ahead.
The task of this team led by Zhao Tiejun is a cave in the middle of the mountain, and it is also the largest granary.
Zhao Tiejun and the other five people were in the open, and eight team members were slowly approaching in the dark under cover.
"Who?" A Tibetan soldier halfway up the mountain asked
"Patrol the Imperial City," Zhao Tiejun replied in Tubo with an accent.
His accent was that of the northwestern part of Tibet, and Zhao Tiejun spoke while walking upwards to attract the attention of the people above:
"There are a large number of enemy troops outside the city today, do you have any situation here?"
Because of Zhao Tiejun's accent, the other party did not recognize Zhao Tiejun, and replied:
"There's nothing going on yet, what's going on outside?"
"I heard that there are thousands of troops outside the city, and I don't know if it's true, the general himself is in charge, and we are asked to patrol all over the road to prevent the enemy from mixing in the city."
Zhao Tiejun didn't say which general, and he didn't know which general, and Zhao Tiejun had already walked up while speaking.
This place is a platform, it can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, behind it is a gate, there are more than a hundred Tibetan soldiers,
Zhao Tiejun looked around and said:
"It's okay for you to be okay here, if the enemy burns the food, we will be in big trouble."
He was observing the positions of the Tibetan soldiers everywhere, and it was impossible to infiltrate this kind of place, so he could only fight hard.
"Don't worry, although there are only 100 of us in this place, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, even if it is a few thousand, you can't get up." The general who led the team said very confidently.
"Of course I know that, I was here before."
"Really? It's much better for you to be transferred to the Forbidden Army now than to die old here. The general also sighed with emotion after hearing this.
There was a "clang", and there was a sound of a boulder falling to the ground below.
"There's an enemy sneaking in." Zhao Tiejun was the first to stand up and shouted.
Suddenly, the entire platform of soldiers took up their weapons, came to the edge and looked down. I saw a few figures below, I couldn't see the exact number of people, and they were looking for cover a little far away.
"General, you have extra bows and arrows here, and we can help."
"Yes, in the warehouse," he said, turning around and calling someone to get it.
Zhao Tiejun gave his subordinates a look, said to help, and the three team members also followed.
"Why hasn't it come out yet?" After a few moments, the general asked, and it was then that he found a raging fire burning in the granary.
"What's the matter, is the enemy coming up from behind?" Before the general could speak, Zhao Tiejun hurriedly shouted and quickly rushed to the warehouse.
And the generals followed, but the fire had already spread inside, and it looked like it was caused by fire oil or something.
The general was the first to rush in, and then shouted:
"Fight the fire." He was in a hurry, this was going to kill his head. , if the loss is too great, he will definitely die, which is also his concern for chaos,
Otherwise, the first person who thought of fetching the bow and arrow would have gone.
A group of people hurriedly began to use water to put out the fire, this is the granary, there are several large water tanks all year round.
It's just that they don't know that the larger the area of oil and water will burn.
Zhao Tiejun was shouting outside, feeling that he had been busy, but he gestured to a few team members.
The team members took out fire oil bombs and lit them, Zhao Tiejun waved his hand,
"Bang bang" Several explosions blocked the door of the warehouse.
"What are you doing?"
"It's not good, they're not our Tibetans."
"I found out that it was too late." Zhao Tiejun pierced a person's throat with a military stab, and with a bang, his left hand raised and fired a crossbow arrow.
There were twenty or thirty people left.
Under the sudden attack of the sharp blade, more than half of them died in an instant, and several sharp blades hidden next to them also took out their crossbow arrows and shot before taking out their military thorns to join the battle.
(It's probably not very well described, but I'm working on it.) )
