Tang's dining table

Chapter 269 Fire on Xianyang Bridge

The Tubo people are coming!

There was no one on the bridge immediately.

Just like when a tiger appears in the forest, it cannot see other wild animals.

The Tuyuhun camel team naturally stopped on this side of Xianyang Bridge, blocking the upper bridge behind it.

Most of the bridges in the Tang Dynasty are arch bridges. Except for the arched stone bridge across Zhaozhou, which has a flat deck, most of the other wooden bridges have a graceful arc like the Xianyang Bridge.

This kind of bridge looks beautiful, but the slope in the middle is actually quite steep, so Yunchu can't see how the Tibetan people get on the bridge.

In fact, you don’t even need to look. Before you even see the Tibetan people, the wind blowing from the side has already brought the smell of the Tibetan people.

How to describe it, this smell is like a person diving into the cave of a beast. The smell is not only strong, but also has an extremely strong oppressive smell.

The first thing Yunchu saw was a group of guys still wearing animal skin hoods in the April weather in Chang'an, and then he saw the black faces smeared with yellow mud.

The thick leather robes were neatly worn on the body, and the right shoulder was not exposed. It could be seen from the torn skirts of their clothes that these people were not wearing armor.

The two-hundred-meter bridge was just big enough to accommodate the three-horse army. Most of their flags were triangular and colorful. When their horses emerged from the highest point, even Yun Chu was secretly surprised. .

Their saddles were extremely simple, almost just a piece of sheepskin placed on the horse's back, and the stirrups were also extremely simple leather ropes. However, they did not seem to feel any discomfort while riding their horses up the high slope of Xianyang Bridge.

Just know that driving a war horse is too easy for them.

Yunchu had never quite understood Honghuang before, but after seeing this group of people, he finally understood the meaning behind these two words.

Savage, stubborn, fearless, and powerful.

Thinking of this, Yun Chu glanced at Yin Erhu, and Yin Erhu lowered the flag of the Tyuhun tribe that was held high.

A few strands of faint green smoke snaked towards Xianyang Bridge.

Yun Chu had a smile on his face and opened his mouth. His companions who were traveling with him and pretended to be Tyuhun people also followed suit.

The weapons that were originally hidden were revealed one after another, and Wen Wen in the distance widened his eyes. He really wanted to know how Yun Chu managed to become invincible within thirty steps.

The Turks on the bridge also saw the Tuyuhun people guarding the bridge. They did not panic. Instead, they howled happily. The Tibetan people at the front even started to use their war horses, hoping to use the power of the war horses to break up the blockade. The group of Tuyuhun people in front.

Yun Chu covered his ears. Yin Erhu shivered and quickly covered his ears. Although he didn't understand why Yun Chu did this, Wen Wen from a distance followed suit and quickly covered his ears.

A pillar on the wooden bridge suddenly exploded. The bright yellow flame flickered for a moment and then quickly disappeared. Then, there was a loud noise followed by streaks of air waves visible to the naked eye.

Yun Chu turned his head and hid his body in the neck of the camel he was holding. Immediately, the camel raised its neck and turned around and ran away.

The loud noise did not make the Tubo people confused. Only their horses were confused. Just as they were trying to control the horses, explosions on the Xianyang Bridge sounded one after another.

Every explosion was accompanied by fire and black smoke, tearing the originally neat team on the bridge into chaos.

Yun Chu protected his body with a shield. Even though they were fifty steps away, broken wood chips were still attacking them like arrows.

Wen Wen felt that the house he was staying in was about to collapse, and the windows covered with peach blossom paper were torn to pieces by the air waves.

Just now, he saw a Tibetan man near the pillar being torn apart with a loud noise. He saw this scene clearly.

I even saw countless Tubo people and their horses falling into the Wei River.

Wen Wen was lying on the bed shivering. At this time, he didn't even think that Yun Chu had caused this disaster. It should have been the arrival of the God of Thunder.

The explosion was still continuing, and Yunchu had woken up from the shock caused by the first explosion, enjoying the unprecedented scene in front of him.

In order to entertain Lun Qinling, he replaced a pair of bridge pillars every three meters on the bridge with gunpowder.

Each stigma contains three kilograms of black gunpowder, and there are a total of 120 such stigmas on Xianyang Bridge.

A series of horizontal ripples appeared in the Weishui River, and each circle of ripples represented the explosion of a pillar.

The Xianyang Bridge was trembling, the Weishui River was moaning, but the people and horses on the bridge were enveloped in thick gunpowder smoke.

When the last pillar exploded, the area around Xianyang Bridge fell into deathly silence.

Yun Chu slapped Yin Erhu with his long knife, and Yin Erhu immediately gave the order to charge in Tuguhun dialect.

On the other side of Xianyang Bridge, shouts of killing also rang out at the same time.

The smoke covering the Xianyang Bridge was blown away by the wind in an instant. Yun Chu quickly stepped onto the bridge. As soon as a Tibetan man stood up with his head bleeding, his throat was slit with a knife. The bright red blood It squirted out instantly.

Yin Erhu did not show weakness, and the hammer in his hand fell mercilessly, hammering to death one by one the Tubo people who were lucky enough to survive holding their heads and rolling on the bridge.

Looking tenderly at Yun Chu, who was killing people on the bloody bridge like a mad tiger, a layer of white sweat appeared on his back, especially when he saw Yun Chu's long knife cutting off the left arm of a Tubo man who was blocking it, He couldn't bear it anymore and lay on the bed full of dust and dirt and vomited.

The bridge was slippery and covered with the entrails of war horses and human limbs. Yun Chu's every step was very sure.

He was very familiar with this scene. He had experienced it at the head of Kucha City.

A Tibetan man whose body was covered with blood holes and was still bleeding out opened his mouth wide but did not make any sound. He opened his arms and rushed towards Yun Chu. A short spear passed over Yun Chu and penetrated his body, even though In this way, this guy with extremely strong vitality still grabbed a sheathed hand fork from Yunchu's leather jacket.

Yunchu cut his throat with a knife and searched for Lun Qinling in private.

At the highest point of Xianyang Bridge, Yunchu saw a pile of corpses. The Tibetans on the periphery had been blown to pieces by gunpowder. The group of people still held hands and formed a pile, surrounding a gorgeously dressed Tibetans. The most central.

Yun Chu had no intention of keeping Lun Qinling alive, and he had no intention of following Lun Qinling for a while like the villains in movies, only to be run away by this guy or to kill him.

Yin Erhu and a group of people rushed up and stabbed and chopped at the pile of people or corpses with various weapons. It seemed that they had no intention of chatting with the enemy.

After cutting off four or five arms, the richly dressed man was revealed in the pile of corpses. However, someone just accidentally stabbed this man in the cheek with a short spear, so it was not clear what he looked like.

However, judging from the various agates and gems worn around this man's neck, as well as the straight knife inserted across his belt, this man should be Lun Qinling.

Yunchu cut off Lun Qinling's neck with a knife, grabbed the head with one hand, raised it high, and shouted in Tuguhun dialect: "Kill Lun Qinling!"

The others also imitated Tuyuhun's words and cheered.

After the people on the opposite side, led by Zhang Jia, met up with Yun Chu, they confirmed that there was no one alive on the bridge, and they all ran towards the opposite side of Xianyang Bridge.

The loud noise caused by the gunpowder explosion could be vaguely heard in Chang'an City. If such a noise could not attract the attention of the local garrison, Yun Chu would not believe it.

Therefore, leaving quickly is the best policy.

The scene was very different from what Yunchu had imagined. Near Xianyang Bridge, no Guanzhong people with a strong sense of justice appeared. On the contrary, when they discovered that there was thunder and lightning, and there were people killing people, the Guanzhong people here, He even ran home crawling, closed the doors and windows tightly, hugged his wife and children and hid under the window, shivering.

When a hundred people jumped on three bamboo rafts and floated down the Weishui River, the Xianyang Bridge was eerily silent. There was not even a bird, let alone a human being.

After running for five miles along the Wei River, the people cut open the bamboo rafts and let the bamboos spread down the river. They hurried ashore and found a huge herd of horses. They each jumped on one, and then dispersed.

Yunchu did not go to Cao Shizi, but quickly changed his clothes in a deserted place. Instead of entering Chang'an through the nearest Yanping Gate, he quickly circled to Qixia Gate, which was dedicated to walking cattle and horses, and entered with a large number of pigs. Under the cover of Liu Yi from the city, he easily entered Chang'an City.

Then he quickly rushed to the imperial city and took a carriage into the imperial city.

It took him more than half an hour from the incident to entering the imperial city. Judging from this speed, Chang'an City did not even know what happened at Xianyang Bridge.

He returned to his residence at the Imperial Medical Office and washed up in a hurry. When he changed clothes again and came out, the seven or eight jars of medicine he had brewed were already boiling.

The medicinal aroma is strong.

He opened the window, called a medicine boy, asked about the location of Fu Jiuding's imperial physician, and hurried over.

Fu Jiuding was discussing the medical case with someone. When he saw Yun Chu coming in, he sniffed and said, "What are you doing making peony soup?"

Yun Chu cupped his hands and said, "Zhuo Jing is already seven months pregnant."

Fu Jiuding said: "Since Madam Ling is pregnant, if it is not safe, you can come to the Imperial Medical Office to seek medical advice. Why did you prescribe the medicine yourself?

Don’t you know the taboo against doctors not treating themselves? "

Yun Chu quickly held up his hands and said, "I knew something was wrong, so I came to ask the doctor to help me check it out."

Fu Jiuding pointed to the medical records on the table and said to the doctors present: "Just leave it like this. If you can't see any changes for a while, then take two more medicines and see. If you still don't feel better, you can only take Tiger Wolf." The medicine is gone.

This must be made known to the patient. "

After the instructions were completed, and after all the other doctors and officials had left, he followed Yun Chu to the official residence.

He first frowned at the eight small stoves lined up in a row, then looked at Yun Chu and said, "How can you spend so much money?"

Yun Chu said quickly: "The bill has been paid."

Fu Jiuding said angrily: "If you don't get sick, who will take medicine? It doesn't mean that you are wrong in boiling medicine for Mrs. You in the Imperial Medical Office, but you shouldn't spend so much money. You can only give your wife the medicine for eight people." Eat, it’s really nonsense.”

Yun Chu quickly apologized.

At this time, the imperial city's alarm bell, which never sounded on weekdays, suddenly rang.

Fu Jiuding, who was checking the decoction, straightened up and looked at the source of the bell, frowning and said, "What happened again?"

Yun Chu removed the medicine jar from the fire and said to Fu Jiuding: "Mr. Doctor, where is the armor of the Imperial Medical Office stored?"

Fu Jiuding said doubtfully: "There is no armor in the Imperial Medical Office."

Yun Chu rubbed his hands and said, "When the warning signal sounds, all warriors who are capable of fighting will put on their armor and guard the imperial city. I am a military officer. This is not the time to hide behind warriors and receive protection."
