Chapter 223: Tubo's Blood and Tears (2)
Seeing his Tubo people suffering, Songtsen Gampo then realized Dashi's true ambition. They had never thought of helping them. They wanted to seize control of the entire Silk Road. Songtsen Gampo looked at the mysterious man with red eyes, "You lied to me! It was all your conspiracy."
"There are some things that we can't control in respect of Zamp. It is inevitable that these things will happen between countries. It will be fine if they pass." The mysterious man did not deny Songtsen Gampo's words, but smiled very meaningful.
The prince of Dashi asked the mysterious man, "Can you attack the Tang army now?"
"Wait for a while, the wind direction is not good these days. The Tang army has a very powerful firearm, which can cause fire rain to fall from the sky. As long as the wind direction changes, they will not be able to use that firearm." The mysterious man said to him in a big sacred divine manner, "Prince, you can let your subordinates, or Persian, Byzantine, and Indian people play in Tubo."
The prince of Dashi smiled happily.
Lu Dongzan came all the way with his army. Seeing the destruction of the tribes along the way, he was surprised and found the coalition forces in the Middle East.
Prince Dashi saw the Tubo army and said with a smile, "Let them come over, but if you want to put down your weapons, you will say that Songtsen Gampo has been waiting for them for a long time."
Several great cannibals who can speak Tubo dialect talked with Lu Dongzan, which was very polite.
"You said that all these were done by Tang Jun?" Lu Dongzan asked.
The great cannibal said in unfamiliar Tubo words, "Please put down your weapons. You cannot hold weapons in the coalition forces. You will naturally return them to you when you fight the Tang army."
"Don't listen to them! They are not allies! Run!" Songzan Gampo shouted to Lu Dongzan with all his strength.
Several big cannibals immediately took Songtsen Gampo.
Lu Dongzan, who was about to hand over a weapon, had a drastic expression.
"Do it!" Prince Dashi ordered.
Lu Dongzan pulled up the reins and ran away, and Dashi's army did not catch up for a while! Looking at this scene, Dashi Prince slapped Songzan Gampo in the face and insulted Dashi's words.
"You must repay the blood and tears of Tubo." Songtsen Gampo said gritting his teeth.
Prince Dashi couldn't understand Tubo, but he could understand Songzan Gampo's tone. He smiled gloomyly and patted his shoulder. He turned his head and looked fierce and suddenly punched Songzan Gampo's abdomen!
"Uh..." Songtsen Gampo covered his abdomen in pain, and his blood rushed and choked out a few mouthfuls of blood.
Prince Dashi patted the muscles on his arm and shouted at his subordinates, and there was also a burst of cheers in Dashi's army.
At the Potala Palace, Gu Qing looked at the fireworks and cannons and felt a lot of confidence.
The scout hurriedly reported, "The army from the Middle East has arrived in Tubo."
"How many people are there!" Yuchi Gong asked.
The scout replied, "At least 600,000, and the other party has tamed many beasts! Lions, battle elephants."
"It seems that's right!" Yuchi Gong wondered. It's been so long since he was here. Why hasn't the reinforcements come from the court for a long time? Are we treated as alone?
The entire Potala Palace was built with a fortress, and every brick was used for war. The Tang army had to face the coalition forces of the four Middle East countries.
The Potala Palace was built into a giant triangular fortress. Cheng Chumo looked at the fireworks placed on the city wall, with thousands of pyrotechnic tubes placed on the city wall, all of which were the result of sleepless sleep for more than a month. Thousands of kilograms of incendiary bombs and tens of thousands of grenades. The Tubo people were arrested for labor and did not stop after they were caught. It was Gu Qing's request that the Tubo people have four hours of sleep.
On the other hand, Songtsen Gampo watched the people from the four Middle East countries plunder the Tubo tribe along the way, and felt as if they were ashamed.
The mysterious man felt the wind direction and looked at the clouds in the sky and said, "We can attack in a few days. The wind direction is beneficial to us in the past few days, and the rainy season is coming."
"Okay!" Prince Dashi was excited. He had always been very interested in the Tang Dynasty in the East. This time he could finally fight! I want to see if the Tang Dynasty's army is strong.
It seems that it will rain. Songtsen Gampo knew that this was the rainy season in Tubo. The climate of Tubo was divided into dry season and rainy season. There was a lot of rain in the rainy season. I hope that the Tang Dynasty could win. The rainy season was not a good thing for the Tang Dynasty, which was good at fire attacking.
Looking at the sky covered by dark clouds, Su Dingfang said to Gu Qing worriedly, "I heard from the Tubo people that the rainy season in Tubo is coming, and it is said that there will be thunder in the rainy season!"
"Thunder!" Gu Qing then remembered that the plateau climate in Tubo would have thunderstorms and hail during the rainy season. Since Tubo is a plateau area, the monsoon in the rainy season is the southeast and southwest winds exchange. This unstable monsoon and special geographical location are the desolate Gobi Desert in front and behind the snowy mountains that have not been melted for a century, and extreme weather is easily found under the hedge.
"It's not a good thing for us." Su Dingfang was very worried.
"Hahahaha, I'm the God Group!" Gu Qing rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Why is this kid so happy..." Cheng Chumo walked over with a glass of barley wine.
Su Dingfang also shook his head for no reason.
The drizzle of rain fell, and Gu Qing hurriedly found the busy land king Jin and ordered him.
Three days later, the rain continued to fall, and the army of Dashi finally headed towards the Potala Palace, followed by Persia, Byzantine, and India, and the mighty army of 800,000 was advancing in a black manner.
Above the Potala Palace, the entire Tang Dynasty army was on guard. Su Dingfang's eyes passed through the rain curtain and could see the dark army at the end of the world. The atmosphere of tens of thousands of troops was very depressing. Facing the vast army, no one said a word.
The army of Dashi was at the forefront, more than a thousand feet away from the Potala Palace. The prince of Dashi looked at the iron rods that were 100 meters high and was curious, and asked his subordinates to try to pull them out, but they could not pull them out at all when they were inserted very deeply.
Prince Dashi was very wary and didn't care much about these weird sticks heading towards the Potala Palace.
"It must be thunder!" Gu Qing was looking forward to it, and there was a thunder last night.
"Here you come!" Su Dingfang said in a low voice.
In the rain, more than a dozen beasts were seen rushing towards them. Before more than a dozen lions arrived at the fortress, they stopped and paced back and forth to look at the tall military fortress, looking at the Tang soldiers standing on it as if they were looking at their prey.
"What a beast!" Cheng Chumo sighed at more than ten lions.
On the quiet fortress, Yang Sheng quietly raised an arrow, and the drizzled drizzled onto the sharp metal arrow. He took a deep breath and stared at a lion and pulled the bow. After a few breaths, the arrow came out and the arrow passed through the rain curtain.
The lion was quick and had to react, but it was too late, and a sharp arrow pierced into the abdomen.
Seeing his lion being caught in an arrow, the Prince of Dashi roared and rushed towards the Potala Palace.
