"The whole army retreated..." Lu Dongzan was furious and shouted anxiously: "This is a grenade from the Tang Dynasty."

Boom

Amid his roar, the grenade exploded.

The two Tubo warriors could not dodge and were directly killed by grenades.

The range of killing grenades is not large, but the sound of the explosion convulses the war horses. Hundreds of Tubo warriors were dragged by the mad horses, and everyone was filled with panic on their faces.

Lu Dongzan was full of shock and angry expression and said in disbelief: "Why are there grenades in a small town?"

He was a great prime minister of Tubo and naturally had a good news. In the ninth year of Wude, Han Yue built a grenade and used this thing to fight the Turks to fight the first battle in his life. At that time, the news spread to the world, and Lu Dongzan naturally discovered it.

The man carrying the basket still had one, then picked up one from the big basket, and the other six men also came to him, and everyone picked up the grenade from the basket.

In an instant, the strings were pulled together.

Lu Dongzan was so angry that he said in horror: "The Han brothers on the opposite side wait..."

Unfortunately, he was greeted by several angrily curses and shouting: "Waiting for you, who is your Han brother?" With the roar, seven grenades were thrown out at the same time.

Rumble

There were seven more explosions.

The air waves were churning and shrapnel flew everywhere. About ten Tubo warriors were killed directly, and the remaining people fled wildly.

The grenades are still very powerful in short-distance combat, but they are a little powerless when they are far away. When the men took out the third round of grenades, Lu Dongzan and others had already run out a hundred steps away.

Gangyang Jialong was trembling all over, as if he was frightened by grenades, and as if he was driven away by a group of Han people. He held the scimitar and roared angrily, and suddenly praised Lu Dong: "Great Xiang, how about using the lives of warriors to pile them up? This prince wants to slaughter the entire town and use their blood to wash away the shame..."

Lu Dongzan stopped the convulsed flattery. He did not care about Gu Cangyang Jialong, but looked at the town from afar and threatened loudly: "You are so bold that you dare to attack my mission. You must inform Li Shimin of this matter and ask him to give Tubo an explanation."

The seven men across the street spat, stood in front of the people carrying a big basket, and the leader shouted loudly, "I don't know what mission, I just looked at a group of beasts. If you have a genital, come forward and see if the grenades will blow you to death..."

Lu Dongzan's eyes were slightly cold, and he wanted to order the warriors to charge several times. He had just discovered that the grenade combat was flawed, and as long as the cavalry rushed across the defense line, he could launch a massacre.

At this time, another team suddenly rushed out of the town, with about seven or eight hundred people. These people were all wearing simple armor and were obviously guards of the militia of the Iron Town.

Another team of strong men with weapons rushed out from the other side, with a total of seven or eight hundred people, but these were the guards of the Lu family caravan. At this time, they also heard the news that they came to support from the convoy.

The militia and caravan guards combined have a total of 1,500 people. These people are not the people before, they are all trained soldiers.

Lu Dongzan's face gradually became gloomy, suppressing the thought of letting the warrior rush.

This time he went to the Tang Dynasty to take a total of 500 cavalry, and just now he was killed by a grenade. Although there were more than a thousand soldiers on the other side, Lu Dongzan was not worried about losing.

After all, there are cavalry here, and the opposite side is full of infantry. The cavalry maneuvered at high speed, and it was possible to fight infantry one and three. Even if they fought one and five, there was no pressure. It would still be a massacre after rushing over.

But Lu Dongzan didn't dare to take action.

He suddenly felt that his judgment was wrong.

Previously, because Tubo could invade the Tang Dynasty, he thought that the Tang Dynasty did not dare to attack him, but he suddenly thought of a problem, that is, the people at the bottom of the Tang Dynasty could not think of something too far-reaching.

Li Shimin might choose to endure because of the threat from Tubo, because the emperor had to stand from the perspective of a country when considering the problem. However, ordinary soldiers of the Tang Dynasty would not think so, they would only take revenge on the revenge in front of them.

Before receiving the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, each unit may attack their mission.

"What should I do if the big picture?" The Changsui shivered, obviously also trying to understand this matter.

Lu Dongzan's eyes flashed coldly, and he suddenly turned his head and said, "Change the road and go to Chang'an first. No matter what town you encounter, don't want to stop and rest. Let's go to the Honglu Temple in Chang'an to submit the national letter."

"Yes, yes!" Chang Sui nodded repeatedly and said, "After submitting the national certificate, our identity will be shown that we will force Li Shimin to surrender and ask him to order these untouchables..."

Lu Dongzan glanced at him and praised, "You understand very well, it's exactly this plan."

He suddenly whipped the horse whip and shouted, "Let's go!" He turned his horse's head first and chose to bypass the road to the Iron Town.

The iron town behind me rang out insults like tsunamis. Lu Dongzan rode on the horse and suddenly turned around and said coldly: "I remember this town."

Katsuyo Katsurachi beside him roared and furiously, saying, "Great Presbyter, I can't swallow this."

Lu Dongzan ran wildly on the horse, glanced at him coldly, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Cangyang, I will give you this anger. As long as we arrive in Chang'an, I will make an appointment with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. In less than three days, I will want these people to die, and their town will also be razed to the ground..."

He dared to say such words in the Tang Dynasty, but his confidence still comes from Tubo.

Lu Dongzan firmly believed that Li Shimin would definitely choose to give in and ordered the rebellious force of this town to be criticized, because the Tang Dynasty could not afford to offend Tubo and had to offset his anger.

Tubo is located in the southwest of the Central Plains, which is the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and part of Central Asia in later generations. Since Songtsen Gampo unified the plateau, Tubo has become the most troublesome place in the Tang Dynasty.

Tubo's territory is not as vast as the Tang Dynasty, and its national strength is slightly weaker than the Tang Dynasty. However, as Lu Dongzan analyzed, although the Tang Dynasty is stronger than the Tubo, it cannot use troops to Tubo.

Because any Han people will get sick when they go to the plateau, and they will directly lose their combat capabilities.

In the seventh year of Wude, Tubo sent troops to plunder and kill Jiannan Road. At that time, the Tang Dynasty sent 20,000 troops to pursue and retaliate. As a result, the 20,000 troops were wiped out after the plateau. It was not killed by the Tubo people, but could not stand the climate and freeze to death.

Therefore, Tubo gave Tang Dynasty a headache, and could only defend passively and unable to take advantage of the victory. It has gradually developed a fearful mentality over a long time.

After Lu Dongzan made up his mind, he led the delegation to run wildly. This place was less than thirty miles away from Chang'an. He firmly believed that he would get Li Shimin's apology soon.

The people cheered loudly in the iron town behind.

Mr. Lu of the Lu family was worried, and suddenly said to the man carrying a basket in a deep voice: "Why didn't Mayor He fight just now? It's easy to hurt people if he lets the tiger go back to the mountain."

It turned out that the man carrying the basket was the mayor of the iron town. He heard this and let out a long sigh and said unwillingly: "I want to fight too, but the other party is full of cavalry."

He glanced at Master Lu San and explained: "Although the Iron Town is equipped with grenades, this thing is only suitable for position defense. Once you face the cavalry head-on, you will suffer immediately. Even if we have 1,500 studs, we will still be eaten by the opponent when fighting..."

"It's troublesome!"

Mr. Lu's eyes were even more worried and said anxiously: "The other party had already indicated his identity just now. They were a Tubo mission. I heard that one of them claimed to be the great minister of Tubo, and this person is extraordinary."

He said this and pulled his beard, then said, "Tubo has a grudge against the Tang Dynasty, but the Tang Dynasty has no way to deal with them. If this great prince enters Chang'an, he will definitely threaten His Majesty to give in."

Mayor He looked at the Tubo knights who were leaving, gritted his teeth and said, "There is no way to do this. You can't give way to the infantry and the cavalry."

Mr. Lu sighed, his face looked very bad. He stood beside Mayor He and looked into the distance, worriedly saying, "Let the tiger return to the mountain, it will definitely hurt people. Once they threaten Your Majesty, Your Majesty may be punished and beat Iron Town..."

He suddenly glanced at Mayor He and said solemnly: "The Fanyang Lu family stands behind me, and I will no longer be on duty in the court, so I am not afraid of these Tubo envoys, but your fate may not be good."

Mayor He suddenly sneered and said proudly: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, this mayor is not afraid."

Master Lu San was stunned and said in surprise: "Aren't you afraid?"

Mayor He raised his head and chest, and slowly exhaled: "The Tubo people can die if they want me to die, but they have to ask whether my master agrees or not."

This is full of confidence and obviously has twelve confidence.

Master Lu was slightly stunned, then his eyes lit up, and he suddenly realized: "Your Highness will help you?"

Mayor He nodded and said loudly: "My prince is like a brother and sister to his subordinates. Whoever dares to touch his subordinates will return it a hundred times. So what if the great prime minister of Tubo, there is no one in the world that the prince dares not provoke..."

Master Lu's eyes shining brightly, showing a different kind of enthusiasm. He suddenly came to Mayor He, his tone was a little flattering, rubbed his hands and tentatively: "I didn't expect Mayor He would have contact with His Highness. I remember you retired a year ago, right?"

Mayor He looked at him and smiled and said, "Although he has retired, he is a veteran. Although the prince no longer serves as General Tiance, his Tiance Mansion has not been cancelled. The 100,000-strong towns in the Tang Dynasty are usually placed under the Tiance Mansion."

"It's amazing!"

Mr. Lu slapped his thigh and said happily: "Master He has the support of His Highness, even if the Tubo prime minister cannot move you. I have been following His Highness since the ninth year of Wude. I know that his personality is the most protective of his son."

At this moment, Lao Shuan suddenly came over with his grandson in his arms and cried, "The little kid finally woke up, but his leg was broken."

Everyone was startled and looked at the little baby in Lao Shuan's arms.

But seeing that the child was pale and bloodless, he was depressed even though he woke up. The baby's legs were tied with wooden boards and cloth strips. I don't know which doctor in the town was urgently treating him.

Mayor He suddenly gritted his teeth and said furiously: "Now I don't want your highness to support you anymore. I want to ask your highness to avenge me..."

Lao Shuan is Mayor He's father. The little kid with broken legs is his son.

Mr. Lu hesitated a little and whispered for a long time: "I think I'd better bear it. After all, the little kid just broke his leg. After all, the other party is a prime minister of Tubo. It's good that Your Highness can help you support you. I want Your Highness to avenge you, I'm afraid... I'm afraid..."

Mayor He looked at him, clenched his fists and said, "Your Highness has seen my little kid, and he likes the little kid's naughty very much."

Just this sentence made Master Lu San's eyes shine.

Mayor He suddenly turned around and shouted, "Let me find a horse, I'm going to Chang'an to see the prince."
