Datang: Salted fish at the beginning, Gao Yang was given marriage by Li Er

Chapter 299
The sky is getting brighter, and on the outline of the towering city wall of Lingzhou City, figures are running back and forth, shouting loudly, and the quiver full of arrows is carried behind the archer, and they line up and rush to the top of the city amidst bang bang bang. .The infantry carrying the shield strode forward, smashed the shield down with a bang, and stared at the end of the wide field.A large number of soldiers carried the wood and rocks with their feet, and their faces were flushed.

The houses where the residents were removed from the city were demolished, and the girders were removed to make a reserve for the next war.The blacksmith workshop in the center of the city was also transformed into a pot and stove. Soldiers pinching their noses shuttled through it, filling wooden barrels with stinky golden juice and stacking them on the stove.

Walking quickly on the long street in the city, Li Jing looked solemn, glanced at the reporting scout beside him, and asked words while the cloak was flapping.

"Tuyuhun suddenly launched an attack. It will happen sooner or later. Have you ever estimated the approximate number of troops?"

"Overwhelming, covering the sky and the sun."

Just eight words made Li Jing suffocate slightly, and turned to glance at the soldiers who were busy rushing around, and then turned to Li Daozong who was walking side by side.

"How are the defense equipment prepared?"

"Seven seven eight eight, the main guards are all in place, and just now a team of archers has been added to ensure everything is safe."

Hearing this, Li Jing nodded slightly, and strode into the temporary General's Mansion in the city.

His eyes flicked to the rough map drawn on the screen, and he pondered for a moment.

"Although Tuyuhun came well prepared, claiming to have an army of 20, siege is not his strong point after all. I am also relieved to have General Li Daozong at the top of the city."

"There is a huge gap between the enemy and us. It is not an option to always defend. We still need to find some opportunities to divide our forces."

"I……"

woo~
The faint and desolate sound of the horn came to his ears, interrupting Li Jing's words.

Li Jing turned his head suddenly, looked in the direction of the city, and walked out quickly the next moment.

"Here we come, Shangchengtou!"

……

Looking away from Stone City, several figures changed into barbarian furs, quietly hid in the corner of the house, and looked at the barbarians wandering back and forth above the city in the distance.

Li Xian squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the silver light shining on the shoulder blades of the barbarians, and frowned slightly.

"These soldiers guarding the city are slightly different from the soldiers of the battalion, so what's the point?"

After being on the border for a long time, Cheng Chumo had a better understanding of the internal affairs of Tuyuhun, folded his arms around his chest and retracted his head, leaning against the earthen wall of the house, with a dignified look on his dark face under the sun.

"It's Tiger Rider, an elite soldier that Fu Yun conscripts from various ministries every year. He is young, powerful, and agile."

Taking a glance at Li Xian, who frowned, Cheng Chumo continued.

"Don't even think about breaking through. According to our observations these days, the number of soldiers stationed in this city is no less than five thousand. If we really fight, we won't be able to do it."

"These people are not the soldiers under Atugun's command. They are easy to obey. They come from various tribes, and they don't have much deep friendship with each other. It's best not to think about persecution and threats."

Hey~
Sighing lightly, Cheng Chumo threw his head back and bumped into the dirt wall behind him.

"It's no wonder that Fu Yun is so relieved of this important city, and can open the whole city again. It turns out that there are tiger riders sitting in the city."

Cold-blooded, strong in force, and only serve Fu Yun Khan, this is some information Li Xian knows.

Taking a long breath, Li Xian closed his eyes slightly, maintaining a trace of clarity in the Lingtai.

"I can't wait, I can only go to the city for a while."

This sentence shocked Cheng Chu beside him a lot, his face changed suddenly, he looked nervously at the figure beside him, and lowered his voice.

"You don't want to die?"

"Except for the Han guards and the Han Chinese who have been here as translators all year round, there are no Han merchants in this city. We, a hundred people entering the city, are we not throwing ourselves into a trap?"

When he opened his eyes, Li Xian had a look of determination on his face.

"It's too late. When we were in Liangzhou earlier, the Tuyuhun army had already moved out, and Lingzhou will start fighting soon. We don't have much time left. We have to pass this gate."

The words were firm and undeniable, Cheng Chumo took a heavy breath, remained silent for a long time, and then said it lightly.

"Do you have to enter this city?"

"What you promised brothers, you must do."

The reply was plain and casual, as if he was talking about a simple matter like drinking water.

Looking at the rising sun, Li Xian closed his eyes.

"It's not urgent...let me think of a way..."

Ding ding ding.

The wind chimes swayed in the cold wind, and the carriage decorated with copper bells walked up the Yellow Earth Avenue and went straight into the pass.A few men with deep eye sockets held the handle of the knife to guard the sides.There is a vague sense of extravagance in the colors of big red and big gold. There are children of different races with tanned and red cheeks, clustered around the gorgeous car, singing incomprehensible songs.

A moment later, a figure stuck out his hand from the mourning car and sprinkled a handful of candy, and the children immediately scrambled for it.

"Who is this man? He's very impressive."

Li Xian looked at the slow-moving carriage, a little curious.

Being in a foreign race, there are not many people who know how to share with others. Those who are either rich or noble in this carriage must have a gentle temperament.

Bouncing off the earthen wall against which he was leaning, Cheng Chumo's frowning brows suddenly eased, revealing a smile.

"The Western Qiang people are rich merchants who often roam the Western Regions for a generation. They seem to be selling some medical stones such as sulfur and Tibetan flowers."

"As early as when I was guarding the border, I had some friendship. If you want to enter the customs, maybe you can help."

sulfur?

Li Xian was startled suddenly, his eyes lit up suddenly.

With a touch of excitement, he pushed the figure beside him.

"Go! Go!"

"This person, we are determined!"

Pushed suddenly, Cheng Chumo staggered out from the back of the house, turned his head and gave Li Xian a strange look.

"As for what?"

"Are you really going to raise the banner of keeping promises in the hearts of the soldiers?"

Li Xian chuckled, and looked at the figure who was arranging his clothes and walking straight to the carriage, showing a smile.

"The land of Lingzhou in the east is at stake. Maybe we can make some noise in this big trading town in the west and surprise Fu Yun."

"It's not just five thousand tiger riders, it's settled."

There was a smile on his face under the morning sun, and there was a slight chill when he smiled. He glanced at the figure and said a few words, and then got into the carriage together. Li Xian moved his eyes to the soldiers in the city cave to check the luggage of the horses and horses. leave quietly.

If the sulfur can be obtained from the merchants right now, hot weapons such as black powder can be produced in advance in this foreign country.

Walking up the mountain path again, Li Xian was a little hesitant.

Such a shocking thing, if it is born, may be an existence that cannot be concealed. Will it change the history of this foreign time and space?
The usual half an hour's journey took an hour today, and the cave where everyone gathered was still unclear.

Patting himself on the head, Li Xian laughed at himself.

"Fucking time travel has come, and it has changed the course of history, so why care about the invention of something that delays several dynasties?

Since it is going to change, what's the harm in letting it change a little bit?
