Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 212 Arson and Hurt the Enemy
Just when the Tubo army was sworn in and declared their strength, the commotion was in full swing...

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh..."

Several bright flames flew from the water to the shore.

Songtsan Gampo didn't notice it at first, but turned his head to look at the river bank after the sentry guard shouted loudly.

The bright flame quickly flew to the edge of the tent and directly ignited the large tent of the Chinese army on the river bank.

At this time, Songtsan Gampo could already see clearly that the bright flames were sharp arrows with flames!
These sharp arrows roared towards them, and quickly ignited more than a dozen tents.

The big tent was on fire, and some soldiers rushed out to put out the fire.

The whistling sound of Keli arrows did not stop, and tents were still being set on fire.

Songtsen Gampo was shocked. He originally wanted to order his men to set fire to the Shu army's tent, but unexpectedly, his own tent started to burn first.

"Quick! Put out the fire!"

Songtsan Gampo roared anxiously.

Approaching the shore in three or two steps, he pointed to the source of the fire: "Shoot the arrows and shoot those enemy soldiers to death!"

But at this time, the big tent was burned, and the east wind spread the fire to the inside of the camp, and the entire Tubo camp was in chaos.

How can anyone care about the enemy's secret operations?

When all the generals passed down the military order, dispatched manpower, and fired arrows towards the river, the flaming arrows on the opposite side had stopped.

Gu Wu and others, seeing the enemy's archers coming, why would they wait to be shot to death?I had already dived into the river to avoid the Tubo attack.

Songtsan Gampo was so angry that he grabbed the bow and arrow and shot several arrows into the water.

But there was no movement at all on the water surface.

He cursed a few times, his face turned blue with anger, and he stomped his feet on the bank.

"Whizzing!"

At this time, two more sharp arrows shot towards Songtsen Gampo.

The sharp arrow jumped out of the water suddenly, really fast and fierce.

"Zanpu, be careful!" Tubo generals shouted one after another, pointing out Songtsan Gambo.

Songtsan Gan's face turned blank, and he quickly dodged to hide.

"bass!"

He dodged one arrow, but was hit by another.

Fortunately, he twisted his body to avoid the fatal point, and only let the arrow hit his shoulder.

"Escort! Escort!"

At this time, the Tubo generals approached Songtsan Gampo and dragged him away from the river bank.

The Tibetans fired another round at the river, but still got nothing.

After a good greeting from the Tubo general, he dragged Songtsan Gampo to the commander's tent, and hurriedly called for a doctor to treat his wounds.

Zanpu was hit by an arrow, which happened right under Dajun's nose.

How can the Tubo army not panic?
Coupled with the spread of the fire, many large tents were burned...

With infinite despair and busy fighting the fire, the entire Tubo army was in chaos.

"General... General... shall we go to sneak attack tonight?"

Outside the commander's tent, the leaders of the twenty squads were asking for orders from the top ranks of the army.

The Tubo generals glanced at each other, each showing a tired and defeated look.

"That's all! My big tent is almost burned down, why bother?"

……

Seeing the direction of the Tubo camp full of flames, Ma Liuzhi jumped up in the camp.

Li Ke was in a good mood, and the fire in the distance lit the fire to conquer Tubo, which rekindled hope in his heart.

The flames spread all over the sky, and the sky was so full of red clouds.

Li Ke had never seen such a beautiful red glow, and his mind was clear for a while.

fire Fire?

Huh?
He suddenly understood, and the problem that had been perplexing him before was also resolved.

Before, he was always worried that attacking the opponent with a ballista would force the opponent to go out to fight.

But Li Ke didn't want to fight in front of the opponent's camp. He had to lead the enemy to his preset ambush location to be sure of defeating the opponent.

But the ballista is too heavy, once the opponent leaves the camp, it can only be thrown to the Tibetans.

If you want to use the ballista to cause damage, but don't want to be captured by the opponent, there is only one way.

Disposable items are destroyed immediately after use.

The flames all over the sky gave him a reminder that he could prepare kerosene in advance, and once the opponent left the city, he could directly burn the chariot with kerosene.

Although the loss is a bit big, it is better than being taken away by the other party.

Thinking of this, Li Ke felt relieved.

"Your Highness!"

At this time, Gu Wu and the others came back wet.

Li Ke quickly pulled them to the bonfire to warm their bodies.

"How? No damage?"

Gu Wu nodded confidently and smiled rarely: "No one was injured!"

"it is good!"

Li Ke clapped his hands and smiled.

Gu Wu smiled again, and said again:
"And...we still hurt Songtsan Gampo today!"

"what?"

This was beyond Li Ke's expectation. He only wanted to set fire to the camp, but he didn't want to threaten Songtsan Gampo.

Gu Wu shook off his sleeves, wrung out the water stains, and said, "It's a pity that I didn't prepare in advance, there is no poison on the arrow..."

He told the story of how he killed Songtsan Gampo by shooting arrows.

At that time, when Gu Wu and the others saw the opponent's archer approaching, they dived into the bottom of the water, preparing to escape.

However, he vaguely felt Songtsan Gampo's voice getting closer and closer underwater, and he guessed that Songtsen Gampo was so angry that he forgot to take precautions and approached the river bank.

Given such a good opportunity, Gu Wu naturally wanted to take the risk and shoot Songtsan Gampo.

He floated up quietly and looked at Songtsan Gampo's position.

Then aim with a bow and crossbow and shoot him.

It's a pity that people's sight is damaged in the water, and the aiming is not precise.

In addition, Songtsan Gampo reacted very quickly and avoided the vital point.

He shot two arrows and only hit his shoulder.

"very good already!"

Seeing the unwillingness in Gu Wu's words, Li Ke patted him.

This was indeed a surprise, Songtsan Gampo was injured, it would definitely damage the combat power of the Tubo army.

Not to mention the damage to the morale of the army, the strategy and tactics of the Tubo military will also be affected by the injury of the coach.

Sure enough, that night, there was a rare surprise that no Tubo people came to attack.

Li Ke enjoyed a peaceful night, and early the next morning, he led the army to the enemy camp.

This time, he was not calling for battle, but going to do a real fight with real swords and guns.

Before setting off, he ordered the army to take out four crossbow carts and push them all the way towards the camp.

At the same time, he ordered Ma Liuzhi to ambush on the way.

This time, the ballista will be used to attack the opponent's camp, maybe the main force of the enemy army will be forced to catch up.

At that time, he will have the opportunity to defeat the Tubo army, which is unstable and has just suffered a major setback.

After rushing all the way to the other side's camp, the Tubo people still didn't respond.

Seeing the darkness in the opposite camp, Li Ke secretly smiled.

It seems that the fire last night did bring them a lot of trouble.

But... Today's troubles will be even greater!

Li Ke had already turned around at this time, and ordered his subordinates to load the ballista with fire-oiled crossbow bolts.

He looked at the Tubo camp on the ground, and raised his hand slightly:

"Light it up, shoot the arrows!"

The four ballistas made a "bang" sound, and the four firebolts flew out, pointing directly at the tent of the Tubo army.
