Chapter 215 Shocking explosion
Several vultures on the dry yellow soil stopped on the dead branches and watched the army pass by, looking at the army.
Su Dingfang looked at his back and could see the black army from afar. The scout rushed to report and came to Yuchi Gong to "report, Gu Shenzhi's 50,000 elite troops have arrived."
"Okay!" Yuchi Gong only said one word, but he was full of confidence.
Gu Qing brought his army to the foot of Qilian Mountains, brought a lot of supplies and food, and walked to Yuchi Gong, "See the General!"
"Okay, okay, okay." Yuchi Gong said three more OK.
Gu Qing stood up and came to Su Ding's side, "Fortunately, you're so miserable. Next, let's give Tubo some color."
"Yeah!" Su Dingfang nodded without saying anything.
Yang Sheng looked at the soldiers in Qilian Mountains. The atmosphere in the entire Qilian Mountains was very bad. After several bloody battles, the soldiers were already too tired.
With the addition of new food and grass and soldiers, the originally dead Qilian Mountains added some vitality. Gu Qing rode his horse with Su Dingfang and Yuchi Gong to look at the Tubo army in the distance.
"How many soldiers do they have?" Gu Qing asked.
"There are tens of thousands of elephants in battle, and the number of soldiers and horses has been increasing by at least 200,000." Su Dingfang looked solemn.
"Let the soldiers build fortifications, and rushing hard is not their opponent." Gu Qing looked at the dark army in Tubo.
Su Dingfang looked at Gu Qing strangely, "Do you want us to build a city here?"
"No!" Gu Qing said, and turned around and arranged for people to build fortifications.
The entire army began to get busy, and a team of dozens of Tubo soldiers and horses rode over. Wow! When the Tubo soldiers and horses came, the soldiers immediately pulled out their swords and put them on the bow.
The Tubo horse team threw down several bodies and quickly withdrew.
"Go and have a look." Gu Qing said to the soldiers beside him.
Several soldiers came forward to bring the bodies left by the Tubo people. Gu Qing saw that the corpses were cut and killed. He looked at the people in the Tang Dynasty, like a caravan.
"There are some living!" the soldier said.
Gu Qing rushed forward and saw that it was a woman. He also breathed and looked at the other person's dry lips and said hurriedly, "Get water."
The soldier hurriedly took out the water bag, and the water dripped on her mouth. She opened her mouth slightly and regained some consciousness. She grabbed the water bag and drank it. When she opened her eyes, she opened her eyes widened again, shrank her body back, and hugged her clothes tightly, "Don't come over, don't come over!"
"Don't be afraid." Gu Qing stepped forward and said, "We soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."
"Don't come here!" she screamed with tears in her eyes.
Looking at the thin and messy woman, Yang Sheng raised his head and breathed heavily, "What did they do to her!"
She looked around in a daze, "Where is my husband?"
When she saw several corpses, she hurriedly rushed over and found her husband, holding the corpse and howled.
"Can you tell me what happened?" Gu Qing asked in a low voice.
"They...they are not humans!" She cried and quickly pulled out the knife from the general's waist while Gu Qing was not paying attention.
"What are you doing?" Gu Qing wanted to get his knife back.
She took the knife and stepped back step by step, with tears in her eyes, she wiped her neck silently, and fell into the dry land.
Looking at this scene, Gu Qing couldn't speak for a long time.
Next, the bodies of the Tang people were thrown before the army, some were cut off their heads, and some lost their arms. Su Dingfang asked the soldiers to bury these bodies and said to Gu Qing, "They are wandering caravans. Before Tubo launched an attack, all of the caravans were taken down."
"The swords and swords are eyeless on the battlefield. The soldiers are fighting with their masters, but the unarmed people are innocent!" Gu Qing buried one person after another and said gritting his teeth: "Why do they treat the people like this? Why! The people just want to survive."
Su Dingfang patted Gu Qing's shoulder and comforted, "This is the battlefield. If we had not defended Yanmen Pass, countless people would have suffered. Fortunately, the residents in the Hexi Corridor would have withdrawn long ago."
In the Tubo army, Lu Dongzan was scolding the leaders of several tribes to send the bodies to the Tang army privately. This behavior would make Tubo famous.
Anyway, he had already started fighting with the Tang Dynasty, so Lu Dongzan couldn't care about so much, just scolded him for a few words and did nothing.
Gu Qing was sitting in his account with red eyes and drinking sips of the strong wine. Yuchi Gong knew that Gu Qing was very excited and didn't know what to say, so he had to let him drink it.
I slept in a daze. Before dawn, Gu Qing walked in the military camp and watched many soldiers not sleeping.
In the early morning, a scout had been secretly observing the movements of the other party near the Tubo army, and saw that they were gathering with war elephants and rushed back.
"General!" The scout came to Yuchi Gong, "Tubo is about to prepare for attack."
Yuchi Gong immediately stood up and said, "Send the order! The entire army prepares for war!"
Before the Qilian Mountains, the huge army of Tubo had already gathered. With the sound of the horn, the Tubo army began to rush, and at the forefront were horses and sheep lying on thunder.
"They have always done this." Su Dingfang said to Gu Qing, "It's in vain that we buried the mines."
The mine explosions continued, not many buried. The dead bodies of animals fell all over the ground. When the sun shone, the sky and the earth suddenly became clear. On this loess battlefield with a radius of ten kilometers, the sound of Tubo people's horns sounded. Tens of thousands of war elephants began to collapse and were angry. Gu Qing stared at the other party's war elephant herd, and as he got closer, he could feel the earth under his feet trembling.
The horse under him sniffed, and the inherent fear made the horse retreat step by step.
Yang Sheng and hundreds of soldiers lay down under the loess slope, watching the battle elephant herd charge, holding the fire line in his hand. The explosives wrapped in a hollow hard-crust tube extending all the way to the soil slope.
Counting the speed and time, Yang Sheng shouted, "Immediately!"
Hundreds of soldiers were in a uniform manner, and they ignited the line of fire and left quickly.
When the battle elephant herd sprinted to the center of the battlefield, Lu Dongzan felt a bad feeling when he looked at the calm Tang army.
boom!
With a shocking sound, thousands of kilograms of explosives were detonated underground. The battlefield with a diameter of tens of kilometers seemed to be lifted up, and blood and flesh flew up. The hundreds of battle elephants rushing in the front were blown off their legs, and gaps broke out on the land.
The huge explosion made everyone's ears suddenly deaf, and the scenery in front of them seemed to be shaking.
Chapter completed!
