Chapter 530
At this moment, a dozen or so guests from the army came, standing furtively in the distance, holding binoculars, watching how the Blood Camp conquered Jishi Mountain.Let's just look at it, while looking at it, it's dripping with halazi, it looks as wretched as it wants, and even the scouts didn't notice it when they touched them.

If it weren't for a scout with sharp eyes, several scouts would touch them and kill them.

Just as the other scouts were about to make a move, this scout asked strangely: "Director Guo, why did you come here?"

There can be several general managers Guo in the Northwest, and this is the only one.

The other scouts quickly put away their weapons.

Guo Yuanzhen straightened his chest and said, "Take me to meet your handsome man."

There are six brave generals on this trip, and Wang Junchuo, Guo Zhiyun, and Xiao Song went to Jishi Mountain.The other three generals have their own arrangements, and that is the real main force.Over there is Ge Shuhan as the leader.The candidate on this side was somewhat unexpected, not Wang Junchuo or Guo Yuanzhen, but Xiao Song.

But Wang Hua's explanation was that he was afraid that Guo Zhiyun and Wang Junchuo would be aggressive, so Xiao Song, who had a calmer personality, was appointed as the coach.Of course, this is a way to put them down. This line of work is not based on achievements, but on forcing Xin Nuoluo back.

So this requires a very precise grasp of proportions, and courage is secondary.Therefore, Xiao Song is the best candidate.

When Xiao Song heard the report, he also knew that this time Lao Guo let go, which was of great help to the Blood Camp.Don't think that Lao Guo is cowardly. If Lao Guo also forcibly participates in the attack, with Lao Guo's wisdom and [-] troops in his hands, even if the Blood Camp wins this time, it will be a miserable victory, let alone another big counterattack.Of course, under the counterattack of the blood camp, Lao Guo can't even think about retreating.

However, the older this man became, the more shameless he became. Old Guo didn't mention the consequences of his hard work, but only mentioned his own help to the Blood Camp, praising Mo Hegan, and then asking for things.Mo He's hard work pissed him off.

But Guo Yuanzhen didn't mention the merits of the Blood Camp. He was also well-known among the frontier generals, and he was one of the few people Xiao Song admired. Xiao Song immediately greeted him.

Lao Guo was not polite, and said directly: "General Xiao, continue to command, I am here to learn."

It's here to learn.He came here specially, not because he was worried about Wang Hua fooling him. Before Xin Nuoluo was defeated, he would not send troops to Dafeichuan either.But this time is not urgent. If you want to send troops to Dafeichuan, you need to prepare a lot of equipment and supplies.Just like Wang Hua's battle at the end of spring today, he has been preparing since the end of last year, planning and mobilizing supplies, weapons, ambushes and troops.Although this battle was glorious, how much effort did the generals put in?

But some materials are very unfamiliar to Lao Guo, such as this longbow and that bed crossbow.What's more important is the tactics. The Blood Camp and Tubo have won many battles. It's not that the fighting power of the blood battalion soldiers is many times higher than that of the Tubo soldiers. Maybe it's higher, but it's definitely not as big a difference as shown in the record.

That's a strategy.

So after talking with Mo Hegan, he dressed up and came to Jishi Mountain.This is for learning tactics and the use of new weapons.

Just in time to come, when the blood battalion launched an attack on the mountain, seeing the power of this longbow, Lao Guo straightened his mouth, but it will take some time for this kind of longbow to be allocated to him by Bazhou.

Of course, there are many things that flow Harazi, such as hot air balloons, and the thing that glides in the sky, this kind of giant twist.

Especially Dafeichuan, Dafeichuan is mainly composed of swamps and plains, and the terrain is flat, but there are also many mountains in the south, and there are checkpoints for Tuyuhun people and Tubo people on it.To occupy Dafeichuan, these checkpoints must also be captured, and then the ancient Tang-Tibetan road between Wuhai and Dafeichuan should be sealed off, and the gate should be closed, and they should concentrate on dealing with Tuyuhun.

The blood camp method of attacking mountains can be borrowed, otherwise it will take a lot of sacrifices to conquer the checkpoints on these mountains.The chain and winch is not difficult to make, but you have to come and see.There is also the gliding thing and the balloon, it is best to come here soon, with it, several big cities of Tuyuhun can be successfully conquered.

Damn it, I've seen all kinds of scenes anyway, but I didn't hold my breath when I saw Mo Hegan these supplies, and I didn't ask him for these two things.

Now that Lao Guo saw that the blood battalion was tackling key problems, he only thought of this in his heart, and regretted it very much.

No, when I go back, I will pass through Shanzhou and ask Mo Hegan, and I will not send troops unless I give it to Lao Tzu.

At this time, the Tang soldiers behind the luggage cart also changed their strategy, and the Tubo soldiers on the top of the city got down one by one, and the lethality of bows and arrows weakened, so there was no need to waste weapons.

So it was changed to ten teams, keeping the arrows raining non-stop, suppressing the Tubo people on the top of the city and unable to lift their heads.

Another soldier pushed up a very strange thing from behind.

However, Guo Yuanzhen reacted quickly. This is a trebuchet. The trebuchet has a long history, and it also has a long history in China. The Battle of Guandu appeared.However, the trebuchets in ancient China were very rough, and it took as few as a dozen or as many as hundreds of people to pull the pole for a launch, and the effect was not very good.Relatively speaking, European trebuchets are more advanced, and Yuanmeng brought them back to China from Europe (Huihuipao).The biggest difference is that the Chinese trebuchet crowbar uses people to pull the rope, while the Western trebuchet uses a basket of heavy stones as the prying weight.

Suspension bar The Chinese trebuchet is only a few meters long, while the European-style trebuchet is nearly 20 meters long. This makes good use of the principle of leverage and labor saving, and can throw a [-]-pound object to a distance of [-] yards. Some large trebuchets can even throw A thousand pound object.

And its manufacturing principle is the same as that of the longbow, very simple, a sliding hook, which is used to fix the traction rope before it is unhooked.One spring, one pull the spring, the stone bag sinks, the lever arm is released, and the stone bullets are shot from the throwing belt.Then pull it down again, load stone bombs, or other objects.Not only is it easy to make, but it is also very convenient to operate. It also requires nearly ten people to operate, but the speed is ten times faster than the current trebuchet.Not to mention the power.

Although simple, in China, this trebuchet is the first time available.

Guo Yuanzhen hadn't seen its effect yet, he only felt that it was huge, and guessed in his heart that its power was not small.

More than a dozen trebuchets were transported to the middle of the mountainside, and they began to load things, not necessarily all stones, but also explosives, sulfur and saltpeter, and threw them one by one at the stone city on the mountain.

Just now, the bow and arrow could dodge, and he even threw stones down in a mess while lying on his stomach, so that the soldiers of the blood battalion could not get close.But facing this kind of trebuchet this time, it is undoubtedly a great disaster.

If a huge stone falls from the sky and hits a person, what effect will it have?
Not only that, because of the action force and reaction force, when the stone falls, it will jump up to the sky twice, creating a secondary and tertiary effect.After the dance, the performance is not over yet, and it is also necessary to roll a few times rapidly.

The Tubo people on the top of the city were smashed and howled like ghosts and wolves.

And from time to time, put an explosive on it, which may not be as lethal as a stone, but the huge explosion made the soldiers on the top of the city panic.After another change, because a lot of flammable materials were shot over the top of the city, the soldiers lying behind the chariots replaced with rockets, and the rockets shot into the top of the city one by one.Soon, seas of flames ignited on the top of the city.Fortunately, this is a stone barrier. If the fence is made of wood, this time it will be a bigger disaster.

Lao Guo looked at it and trembled, what a good thing, his eyes are green.I almost wanted to rush to the mountainside, and ran to lie down in front of the trebuchet to have a look.

I'm so stupid, why only ask for bed crossbows and longbows, look at this trebuchet, this rocket, they are all good things.Baby, when used on the battlefield, it will not only reduce the sacrifice of soldiers, but also make the balance of victory and defeat collapse at critical moments.

Stupid, stupid, I have been beating geese all my life, but a little goose pecked out my eyes.

It's not stupid. At that time, anyone who saw the piles of heavy weapons and war horses all over the field would be dizzy.

In his heart, his chest and feet stopped, and the blood camp changed again.

At this time, the city was in chaos, but I had to admit the courage of the Tubo soldiers. At this time, it was the Tang Dynasty, not the elite soldiers, who might have opened the city gate and surrendered.But the city was in a panic, but still no one surrendered.There were even soldiers who continued to smash down the stones sporadically.

But at this time, the effect of smashing stones is much worse, and there is even no way to stick out your head, so you can have any accuracy.

Teams of soldiers came to the gate of the city with explosive packs in their arms.

Even this earthen stone city wall, don't expect black powder to blow it down.But bombing the city wall is absolutely impossible, but it is more than enough to blow open the city gate.

In any case, Lao Guo has learned a lot by coming here this time.He was worrying about how to capture Fuqi City, Piaohe City and other Tuyuhun cities.Xueying clearly wanted to practice for him this time.

As he watched, he scratched his head with joy.

Long experience, too long experience.

The soldiers of the blood battalion piled up hundreds of packs of explosives at the gate of the city, then ignited a long fuze, and then everyone covered their eyes and ears and lay down.

Then there was a bang, the mountain shook and the ground cracked. Even Guo Yuanzhen felt the ground shaking violently while standing at the foot of the mountain. Pause.

As for the soldiers on the top of the city, because of the momentum of their feet, many soldiers were thrown into the air and then thrown down again.

The city gate was more like two pieces of steel shot out, flying more than ten meters away, even the stone at the gate of the city collapsed a large section.The smoke dissipated, revealing a large black hole.

At this time, Xinuoluo was in Minzhou.

It was easily taken down, but Minzhou is bigger than Diezhou, but it is not as rich as his general Afuzan in Diezhou.

This is different. Although Diezhou and Minzhou are both on the Silk Road, Minzhou is not on the main road.However, Diezhou received some benefits from the Silk Road, and another important factor is that it was an important material distribution base on the Tang-Tibet Ancient Road.Therefore, Diezhou's commerce and trade are more developed than Minzhou, and it is also richer than Minzhou.

But the situation along the way was overwhelming, which fueled his ambition.

After winning Minzhou, the next destination is either Weizhou in the north, which is closer to Minzhou. At the same time, Weizhou is just on the main road of the Silk Road. Relatively speaking, it is much richer than Minzhou.But there is another target to choose, and that is the capital of Guanzhong, Qinzhou. If it turned out, Xin Nuoluo would not have dared to have such an idea.With 10,000+ people, Qinzhou is the largest state in Guanzhong, with tall walls.However, now all the troops in Qinzhou were defeated in the battle of Lanzhou, and it is also an empty city.

Qinzhou, which has captured 10,000+ people, and Weizhou, which has [-] people, the effects of the two cities are incomparable.

Although Qinzhou is a little farther away, it's not much different.The most important thing is that there is no big river in the middle, and Weizhou is very close to Qinzhou, so Xin Nuoluo is not at ease.Finally, Xinuoluo thought about it and made a decision to send troops to Qinzhou.

Not only did he capture Minzhou, another army, Afuzan, after conquering Diezhou, began to lead a mighty army to Dangzhou.

At this time, whether it was Qinzhou, Weizhou, or even Chengzhou, Wuzhou, and Fuzhou in the southeast, people were panicked under the attack of the two powerful Tubo armies.

At this moment, a young man came to Tao Hanming's mansion, the new governor of Qinzhou, and handed over a greeting card to the porter.

At first the doorman didn't care, and was about to say a word to send him away, but when he saw the words on the poster, he was shocked and stammered: "You are, yes, are you the Xue character camp?" Song?"

"Exactly." The young man smiled slightly.

"Wait a minute," said the concierge, whose legs were trembling, and hurried over to report to Tao Hanming.

Tao Hanming also went to Liwuli. Could it be that the Blood Camp entered Qinzhou City again without anyone noticing.He came out with a very embarrassed face, neither saying hello nor not saying hello.

"Tao Shijun, don't worry, I'm here to allow me to go in and report."

Tao Hanming had no choice but to let him in.

Sitting down, Xue Song said: "Now that Xinuoluo has captured Minzhou City, he has 2 elite soldiers in his hands. Which one is next? Is it Weizhou with 10 people, or Qinzhou with [-] people?"

Tao Hanming cursed in his heart, if not all the army in Qinzhou was in Lanzhou, how could the Tubo people be able to move unimpeded, like entering a land without people?But I dare not say, and there is no reason to say, if the blood battalion does not defeat the imperial army, then they will sit down and wait for the imperial court to take a big knife and chop them on the head?
He had no choice but to ask irrelevantly: "Then General Xue, why did you come to Qinzhou?"

As he spoke, he listened intently to the movement outside to see if he heard the shouts of killing.

"Tao Shijun, you are not a treacherous villain like Zong Chuke, and you also know why the battalion governor fled to Bazhou. After arriving in Bazhou, did you send troops to the imperial court? It was also a helpless move for the food. Without food, what do hundreds of thousands of people eat? No matter what ethnic group they belong to, since they defected to the Tang Dynasty, they are the people of our Tang Dynasty. Mr. Tao, don’t you think so? This time the Bazhou counterattack is even more helpless But in any case, we fought because of instigation by the villains in the court. The target of the camp governor is still Tubo, and even now it is still Tubo. Those who are capable of beating outsiders are nothing at home. Ability? Let’s close the door, we are still a family, we will not be like some people, for the sake of ambition, regardless of the interests of the people in the court, even colluding with outsiders. Let’s see what happens to colluding with outsiders?”

Tao Hanming didn't say a word. He thought to himself that it was wrong and ugly for Zong Chuke to collude with Tubo and Turks this time, but your blood battalion openly independent of the imperial court and wiped out the imperial court's 28 troops is also not a good thing.

Everyone loves each other, but dare not speak.Even if Xue Song came alone, he didn't dare to say the word arrest.Fearing that the front would catch him, the army of the Blood Battalion would appear behind, and then lock himself in the iron cage outside Lingzhou City.

Xue Song said: "Therefore, no matter what the conflict is, we are still a family. So this time, the Blood Camp reached out to help Qinzhou overcome this difficulty."

"Thank you, General Xue, for your kindness, but I have to find a way to solve the Qinzhou matter." Tao Hanming muttered.

To defend Qinzhou City, the Blood Battalion must be brought in.Once it is put in, Qinzhou is defended, which is equivalent to handing Qinzhou over to the blood battalion.

Seeming to see through Tao Hanming's mind, Xue Song said: "Don't worry, our blood battalion is not interested in Qinzhou, even in Weizhou. Our army is not stationed in Qinzhou City, but in a place to the west .”

After hearing that he would not enter Qinzhou City, Tao Hanming breathed a sigh of relief. Could it be that such a good thing really happened? His face was a little suspicious.

"Please believe in our battalion governor. If our battalion governor really wants to rebel, it won't be like this now. As long as the price of grain is moved, the world will be in chaos. Why use force to slowly attack cities and lands one by one .All we did was to protect ourselves and not want to die inexplicably. If one day, you have the same experience as Yingdu, you will understand Yingdu's mood."

No matter what Xue Song explained, Tao Hanming didn't quite believe it.
But it would be easier if you don't go to the city, he asked, "Then what do you need from me?"

Since they are stationed outside the city and will not enter the city, why bother to find him?Must need some help from him.

"Tao Shijun, you also know that our blood battalion came from Linzhou and passed through Weizhou in the middle. In order to avoid the misunderstanding of Weizhou officials, and also to prevent Xinuoluo from hearing the wind, we came here with light clothes and weapons. Not many. So I ask Mr. Tao to provide some weapons and supplies. If Mr. Tao is not good at explaining, you can send people to Linzhou City at that time, and we will return them in full. Also, we will set up an ambush and ask Tao Let the king send people to cooperate, so as not to misunderstand the local officials and people, and block the news with us by the way. The rest of the matter, leave it to us to solve the blood camp."

This condition is almost not considered a condition, just like a golden cake falling out of the world.

Therefore, Tao Hanming still didn't quite believe it, so he asked again: "Then where are you setting up an ambush?"

"You bring the map here."

Tao Hanming brought over the map of Qinzhou.

Xue Song pointed to a place in the west of Qinzhou on the map.

Tao Hanming really didn't know anything about military affairs, but this place was very famous. He said in surprise, "Jieting?"

"It is this Jieting that Zhuge Liang killed Ma Di's Jieting. Is this a bad omen? But success is Xiao He, and failure is Xiao He. Ma Di can lose the Jieting, but we will not lose the Jieting." Xue Song smiled slightly. .

He had inquired about the background of Tao Inspector. He was a civil servant and had no experience in leading troops to fight at all, so he explained to him that Jieting is the throat of Qinzhou, and even the entire Guanlong, and he played the piano with cattle.So only the omens.

In fact, Tao Hanming was thinking that this omen was not good.

But he didn't know that once the street pavilion was blocked, it would be very, very difficult for Xinuoluo's army to go further east.Just detour through other trails, as long as Jieting is in the hands of Xueying, a big bone will be stuck in Xinuoluo's throat.

If Xinuoluo wants to continue eastward, there may be a bloody battle in Jieting.Either he had to back off.

Of course, let him go back!
