A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Dashi’s army has been gathering all the time, and the big cannibals without firearms can only rely on their numbers to win this battle. They are well aware of the power of Datang’s firearms, and have suffered several losses under Datang’s firearms. Once they prepared a large number of Tianzhu and Persian prisoners of war to serve as cannon fodder.

One night when the wind was howling, every gust of wind would blow a burst of sand and dust. Wang Xuance led three thousand elite soldiers in black clothes to the top of a mountain. The torches shook.

Lu Dongzan looked at Wang Xuance with [-] soldiers in night clothes. They didn't bring any weapons, but small firearms.

"What are these things for?"

Listening to Lu Dongzan's curious question, Wang Xuance tied up the hang gliding frame and said: "These things are called hang gliding, things that allow people to fly in the sky, and our Tang Academy made them. We never thought about attacking from the ground at night." .”

Speaking of this, Wang Xuance pointed to the night sky, "We attack from the sky at night, now is the new moon and the moonlight is at its dimmest, we will not easily notice us in the night sky, even if they notice, they will not know our position, There is no other way but to shoot arrows indiscriminately."

Lu Dongzan looked at the hang glider, "When Zanpu and I went to Chang'an to ask the princess to marry me, I saw the kind of thing that Gu Qing made that can take people to the sky."

"That thing was made a few years ago, and it's not practical. The fire in the sky is a living target." Wang Xuance said confidently: "We followed General Xue in the Hexi Corridor and practiced it hundreds of times, and now we finally shot it. Useful, in fact, to tell you the truth, we have been secretly training soldiers in the Hexi Corridor for several months when the Romans marched eastward and the big food soldiers approached the city, but we have been hiding it from all of you."

Chapter 1020 The Crow in the Dark Night

Lu Dongzan looked at the dots of white light on the hang glider curiously, "What's on it?"

"Phosphor powder, a kind of fluorescent powder from the Western Regions." Wang Xuance explained: "This powder can emit a very weak light in the dark, and it is coated on the umbrella ribs with glue. We use the faint light they emit to help We discern each other in the night, lest we collide."

Looking at the big cannibal army hundreds of miles deep down the mountain, these big cannibals didn't expect that they would be attacked by night from the sky.

Wang Xuance looked at the torches in the cannibal army and said with a smile: "Those torches are living targets for us."

While talking, Wang Xuance held a round thing and said: "This thing is called a mine, and it was improved by triggering mines. Back then, Lord Gu made a landmine, and the Firearms Bureau changed it into this appearance. With just one hand, you can pull the bolt and throw it out, and it will explode when it touches the ground. It looks small, but its power is not small.”

Wang Xuance took out another larger box, about the size of a fist, and said, "This is an incendiary bomb, you should have seen it before."

"It would be great if we had these things in Tibet." Lu Dongzan said longingly.

"The general is ready," said a soldier.

"Have you checked?"

"It's been checked three times."

Wang Xuance looked at the Dashi camp in the distance, listened to the wind in his ears, waited until the wind was getting stronger, and said: "First team, go!"

Lu Dongzan watched Datang's soldiers carry the hang glider on their backs for a run-up for a while, leaped from the cliff, and then soared into the air. 500 people rode the wind, and they knew it when they saw the large glimmer of light in the dark night. It is they who are flying.

"The second team of the general is ready."

Wang Xuance inspected it and said, "Go!"

It was the same action again, and the second team headed towards the wind, like crows in the dark night, they hid in the darkness, only some faint fluorescent lights showed their existence.

There were some explosions in the distance. Lu Dongzan saw the torches shaking in the Dashi camp. As the firearms fell one by one, the Dashi camp was in chaos. Looking at all this, Lu Dongzan felt that he People in Datang seem to live in two worlds. In the past, when I went to Datang, I felt a sense of ignorance. I felt that many things in Datang were very fresh, and they were just new. But now Datang and Tubo are completely different. .

Seeing a group of people riding the wind one after another, Lu Dongzan sighed in his heart, this is what Songtsen Gampo said about creation. People in the Central Plains have been creating and using their wisdom to create those miraculous things. In the Tai Chi Hall, he debated with the envoys of various countries. Gu Qing built an academy so that more people in the Tang Dynasty could study. Perhaps Gu Qing insisted on this kind of creation from the beginning and used his wisdom in a better place.

If thousands of descendants of the Tang Dynasty learned these things, how many Gu Qings would appear in the Tang Dynasty, and how powerful the Tang Dynasty would become. People who use wisdom will not be too weak, and a country with wisdom will never be weak.

Lu Dongzan clenched his fists and looked at the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty soaring, his heart agitated. If this war can be settled and if there is a future, there must be more scholars in Tubo. The power of knowledge is by no means comparable to brute force.

Wang Xuance also picked up the hang glider and was about to follow the last team and told Lu Dongzan: "Don't wait for us, we will fall behind Dashi, which is outside the border of Tianzhu, you go back first."

Just as Lu Dongzan was about to say something, Wang Xuance jumped off the cliff with a run-up and went away with the wind.

Lu Dongzan, who was a little confused, looked at the Dashi camp that was in chaos. Firearms fell like rain and exploded everywhere in the Dashi camp. In less than half an hour, there were big fires everywhere in the Dashi camp. Burning, I don't know how many people will die in this night attack that they and they didn't expect.

Looking at the night sky, you can see some faint streamers floating. Their hang gliders seem to be able to hover, and they pick torches and throw firearms in the dense crowd. There are big cannibals who know the strangeness in the sky, but they can only see those faint streamers. Fluorescence, coupled with the sudden chaos, they couldn't shoot arrows in a large area at all, even if they shot a few arrows, they couldn't see the opponent's position at all.

Back then, it was all roars and howls of being knocked down by firearms.

The big cannibals knew that these firearms must have come from the people of Tang Dynasty, and they were no strangers to the smell of gunpowder smoke, but they had nothing to do with Ben in the dark night.

In the Roman camp at the rear, Fuzheng looked at the chaos in the Dashi camp ahead, and wondered what happened?The people of Tang Dynasty came to make a surprise attack?Even if the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses who came to raid Dashi were in front, they would not cause such chaos.

There were Roman soldiers pointing at the night sky and discussing, and Fuzheng also looked up at the night sky in the distance. Strange fluorescent lights were floating in the night sky, like a kind of very penetrating ghost fire.

The chaotic night passed, and the mansion came to Dashi's camp before the sky was completely bright, especially the center of the camp, where there was a mess everywhere, and some tents were still burning, bringing up black smoke.

The surrounding area was filled with the unique smell of saltpeter from firearms. Fuzheng understood that the people of Tang Dynasty came to attack at night, but what happened to those strange lights in the night sky last night.

A big cannibal was brought in, Fuzheng asked for a while in the unproficient Roman language, and then he realized that the Tang people did come to make a surprise attack last night, and these firearms fell from the sky, and those fluorescent lights almost covered the entire camp. After the fluorescent light appeared, the curious big cannibals were all curious, as if watching a spectacle, they walked out of the camp and looked at the night sky, but when they came back to their senses, firearms fell everywhere like raindrops, especially in groups of teams Among them, a raid caused heavy casualties.

Let's not talk about how the people of Tang Dynasty dropped firearms from the night sky. Just this kind of surprise attack, in the dark night, there is no way to guard against it. There is no way to continue fighting this battle.

Wang Xuance landed on the border of Tianzhu. He packed up his parachute and hang glider and set them all on fire. He cleaned up some cannibal defenders around him. After counting down the number of people, Wang Xuance could not go back. This place is exactly A good place to sneak attack behind Dashi.

Tubo Camp

Lu Dongzan reported the results to Songtsan Gambo and Xue Rengui.

After listening, Xue Rengui said in a deep voice: "The big cannibals are about to attack now. They are very anxious now. Even if they take a lot of risks, they still want this battle to be settled quickly."

"This time also destroyed the spirit of the cannibal." Lu Dongzan said.

Songtsan Gampo bowed and said, "General Xue will give you an order, and all ministries in Tubo are willing to listen."

"The ministries of Tubo stand still for now, and the big food is just an appetizer. The real battle will begin when the Roman army from the rear arrives." Xue Rengui said in a low voice.

Chapter 1021 Landing on Land

On the other side of the battlefield, Wang Xuance hid in a mountain pass, which was outside the border of Tianzhu. The count of [-] soldiers in this night attack was still more than ten missing.

Seeing the big cannibals constantly gathering from outside the border of Tianzhu, the soldiers said to Wang Xuance, "General, they seem to be gathering troops. Shall we rush to help General Xue?"

"Don't worry." Wang Xuance said calmly: "We are going deep alone now. It is best not to move when we can. If we want to move, we must attack the most deadly places to find the enemy. Both Dashi and Tianzhu people are black. It's not easy for us to pretend to mix in and wait for them to approach Tubo, we take advantage of the chaos behind them, which is the best time for us to attack."

Listening to Wang Xuance's words, a group of soldiers behind him also hibernate.

Wu Laoqi has been floating on the sea for half a month all the way from Nanzhao. The sun is very hot in this season. There is no place to hide from the sun when he leaves the cabin. Even the deck is hot, so he can only use sea water to keep warm. Heat stroke is not the most fatal thing in the extreme heat, but dehydration. Fortunately, I brought a lot of water this time and barely survived for three days.

"Brother! I can see the coast ahead."

Wu Laoqi walked out of the cabin and looked at the opposite bank with binoculars. There were many people walking around on the bank, and there were quite a few of them, and some even threw stones at him.

Taking out the sea chart Wu Laoqi licked his chapped lips due to lack of water, and used the compass to point out his position, and gestured for a long time. According to the sea chart, he recalled that the places he had passed in the past ten days had always been along the land. The one traveling along the coast of Nanzhao passed through two straits and a large archipelago. After passing through that area, it entered a very open sea area. In addition, there was no reference point at all. Mr. Wu Qi didn't know if he had already arrived in Tianzhu.

Go around Nanzhao and pass through the strait and archipelago. After passing this narrow and long strait, Tianzhu should be separated by a sea area.

"Tianzhu people are all bald and very dark. I saw them in Chang'an back then." Someone said.

Wu Laoqi stood up and said: "It's almost the same, don't care about him! If this goes on, we're going to be turned into jerky meat. Give me a few shots first!"

"Yes!"
