A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"I didn't say it, you mean it in your heart." Cheng Yaojin said loudly.

"Shut up!" Li Er shouted at Cheng Yaojin.

Changsun Wuji was right, the fastest way to recruit the most soldiers was only [-], Fang Xuanling didn't speak, just stood on the side with an expressionless face.

Changsun Wuji looked at Fang Xuanling and wondered why Fang Xuanling spoke for Gu Qing again at this time.

Li Er reluctantly dispatched 10 troops to Tubo, and the [-] troops set out from Chang'an, led by a person from the Ministry of War, who was a descendant of the Changsun family, Changsun Kong.

After walking for half a day, Changsun Kong called to stop the march, "Stand on the spot! We will be marching tomorrow."

"General, but we have only marched for half a day." The soldier was puzzled.

"What? Is it you or me who leads the troops?" Changsun Kong said sternly, "If I say station, I will station there!"

The army had to be stationed. During the few days of the march, the army stopped and stopped, and Chang Sunkong had to rest for half a day after walking a few miles, and the repair time was longer than the marching time.

People in Chang'an are different, and the Potala Palace in Tubo is in full swing. Gu Qing watched a simple firework cannon with incendiary bombs ready for a trial launch.

Tang Xuanzang came to Gu Qing's side with Bian Ji, "Benefactor Gu, the poor monk apologizes to you for what you did on the day of Bian Ji."

"No need." Gu Qing said to the soldiers beside him, "Light the wire, let it go!"

The soldier ignited the fire wire in response, and then stepped back step by step. Gu Qing watched the fire wire burn into a box-sized pyrotechnic tube. In the small grid.

Thick white smoke billowed from the rear.

boom!

boom!

boom!

After several muffled sounds, sixteen incendiary bombs were fired from the huge pyrotechnic tube, and sparks with a radius of three meters exploded ten meters away. The flames fell on the grass and could not be extinguished for a long time.

Gu Qing waved away the pungent gunpowder smoke with his hand, "The range is still not enough, it would be better if it is a little farther away."

"What is the shooting range?" Tang Xuanzang wondered, "Does Master Gu want to use this to kill people?"

"Eminent Monk Xuanzang, don't keep talking about killing people, that's war!" Gu Qing thought about the amount of gunpowder and the diameter of the pyrotechnic tube, whether it can be improved, "Don't bother me, I'm very busy."

Tang Xuanzang stood in place watching Gu Qing studying the pyrotechnic tube, shook his head and sighed, and walked away step by step. When he came to Tubo when he was traveling all the way west, it was still peaceful, but the second time he came was war.

Gu Qing thought for a while, and it is better to design the diameter of the pyrotechnic tube to be smaller. If there is too much gunpowder, the chamber will explode. The only way is to make the size of the incendiary bombs smaller and more in number, so that the range can be improved.

Outside the Potala Palace, soldiers from the Tang Dynasty were constantly experimenting with new firearms. The incendiary bombs added with phosphorus were much more powerful. For Gu Qing, some of the previous incendiary bombs were only incomplete combustion, and the gasoline was not enough. It is a bit wasteful to ignite. After adding phosphorus, it can be fully ignited, and the detonation power of explosives is much greater.

"Master Gu." Wang Jin stepped forward and said, "The manpower is ready. We have arrested thousands of people to make new firearms."

Gu Qing thought about it and said, "Let's make the grenade first, take your time! I still need to improve this pyrotechnic launcher."

"Yes!" Wang Jin nodded and left.

Wang Jin in the army listened to Gu Qing the most. According to Li Er's intention, Gu Qing said that the biggest supervisor in the entire Firearms Bureau was only used to monitor Gu Qing and ensure that the firearms would not leak out.

Cheng Chumo was eating a roast leg of lamb and came to see that Gu Qing was modifying the pyrotechnic tube, "Gu Qing, why don't you go back after finishing the firearm."

Gu Qing stopped what he was doing and looked at Cheng Chumo.

"It's too dangerous. This must be a tough battle. You're powerless. It's too dangerous." Cheng Chumo said.

Gu Qing smiled and put his eyes on the pyrotechnic tube again, "Don't worry, I will run first if the situation is not good. I want to make a cannon, but the cannon is good for attacking the city, but it looks very cumbersome in hand-to-hand combat." , and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to build.”

Cheng Chumo looked at Gu Qing thoughtfully, hoping that Gu Qing could go back safely, and threw away the half-eaten leg of lamb, "Okay, if anything happens, I'll take you out."

A few months later, Songtsen Gampo finally arrived in Tubo with the combined army from the Middle East.

As soon as the big cannibals entered the territory of Tubo, they burned, killed and looted the Tubo people. Songtsan Gampo asked the leading prince of the big cannibals, "What are you doing?"

The mysterious man translated Songtsen Gampo's question to Prince Dashi.

Prince Dashi said a few words in Dashi, and Songtsan Gampo asked the mysterious man, "What did he say?"

"He said that Dashi came from thousands of miles away, and Tubo always offered something to reward them." The mysterious man whispered.

Songtsen Gampo watched his Tibetan people being bullied by the coalition forces in the Middle East, trembling all over, he said loudly, "I don't need your help anymore, please go back."

The mysterious man continued to translate Songtsen Gampo's words.

The prince of Dashi sneered and said a few words to the warriors around him, and the warriors stepped forward and took Songtsan Gampo down.

"What are you doing!" Songtsen Gampo roared angrily.

The smile on the face of Dashi's prince grew stronger, allowing the warriors of his own country to plunder and plunder wantonly in Tubo.

The mysterious man said to Songtsen Gampo, "This is the difference between a strong country and a weak country. Do you really think they will help in vain? What they really covet is your rich plateau."

"You..." Songtsan Gampo was held by the warriors of Dashi, speechless for a while, and shouted hysterically at the plundering Dagan, "Stop! Stop..."

Chapter 220 The Blood and Tears of Tubo ([-])

Seeing his Tibetan people suffer, Songtsan Gampo knew the real ambition of Dashi. They never thought of helping themselves. They wanted to win the control of the entire Silk Road. Songtsan Gampo's eyes Tong Hong looked at the mysterious man, "You lied to me! It's all your conspiracy."

"Dear Zanpu, some things are beyond our control. It is inevitable that these things will happen between countries. Just let it pass." The mysterious man did not deny Songtsan Gampo's words, but smiled very meaningfully.

The prince of Dashi asked the mysterious man, "Can we attack the Tang army now?"

"Wait for a while, the wind direction is not good these days. Tang Jun has a very powerful firearm that can rain fire from the sky. As long as the wind direction changes, they won't be able to use that firearm." The mysterious man said to him in Dashi words, " Prince, you can let your subordinates, or people from Persia, Byzantium, and Tianzhu have fun in Tubo."

The prince of Dashi smiled happily.

Lu Dongzan came all the way with his own army. Seeing the devastated tribes along the way, he felt strange and found the coalition forces in the Middle East.

Seeing the Tubo army, Prince Dashi smiled and said, "Let them come over, but put down their weapons and say that Songtsan Gampo has been waiting for them for a long time."

Several cannibals who can speak Tibetan dialect were talking to Lu Dongzan very politely.

"You said that Tang Jun did all these?" Lu Dongzan asked.

The big cannibal said in unfamiliar Tubo dialect, "Please put down your weapons. You are not allowed to hold weapons in the coalition army. When they fight the Tang army, they will naturally return them to you."

"Don't listen to them! They are not allies! Run!" Songtsan Gampo shouted at Lu Dongzan with all his might.

Several big cannibals immediately seized Songtsan Gampo.

Lu Dongzan, who was about to hand in his weapon, changed drastically.

"Do it!" Prince Dashi ordered.
