From the Qingluo Plains near Dafeichuan, they advanced towards the northwest. Every step they took, the Tang soldiers felt as if they were getting closer to hell.

The thin air was like a yin fire in purgatory, torturing every soldier of the Tang army, including Qin Mubai.

As a result, the army had no choice but to pause, allowing everyone to gradually adapt to this geographical environment. Qin Mubai even had the thought of wandering around the plateau for a year or two, nurturing all the soldiers into genuine “locals” before going to fight Gaer Qinling.

But this is clearly unrealistic. The Tibetan Dynasty, which had just been heavily injured by Hou Junji, was desperately gathering its last bit of Yuan Qi. Gaer Qinling was doing his best to increase the number of troops and dispatch generals.

Along the way, Guanxi Army did not encounter any resistance. Almost all the Tibetan tribes’ people, animals, and horses had withdrawn, and there were no granules left in the granary. As a result, the further up the plateau, the harder it will be for Guanxi Army to replenish.

Moreover, the winter on the plateau was always exceptionally long and fierce. Although it was currently in the middle of summer, the snow storm was likely to hit in less than two months.

If it dragged on until then, it would definitely be a disaster for Guanxi Army!

Qin Mubai and Guanxi Army could only clench their teeth and rush towards Luo City.

A month and a half later, the sun on the plateau slanted sharply and the weather was extremely hot.

Xue Rengui led his troops to the Palmoli Prairie, the place where Hou Junji had fought against Gaer Qinling in the past.

This place was only ten kilometers away from the imperial cities of Luo.

Xue Rengui quickly set up a defensive formation to prevent Gaer Qinling from sneak attacking while the Tang army was still in a precarious position. At the same time, he reported the news to Qin Mubai, the main force behind him, to inform him of the situation.

At night, the temperature plummeted again. Compared to the scorching heat of the day, it was a double layer of ice and fire. The exhausted Xue Rengui and his subordinates didn’t dare to let down their guard. Xula tent ambush outside, in case the Tibetans attack at night.

Sure enough, the Chinese side had only just fought a two-watch battle. Countless cavalry came from the northwest, rockets flying everywhere, and fireworks instantly soared into the sky in the Tang army camp.

Just as the Tibetans had just arrived at the camp, Xue Rengui led his army and surrounded the Tibetans. The Tibetans were caught off guard and were defeated. In the middle of the night, Xue Rengui not only repelled the enemy, but also led his army to a complete victory by beheading more than three thousand soldiers.

From then on, the Tibetans did not dare to rob the camp again.

Seven days later, Qin Mubai arrived at Palmoli with a 70 thousand strong army of Yi Manor cavalry. Xue Rengui’s merit points will be remembered on the military merit book.

Qin Mubai ordered the troops to be rectified and wait for news of the other six troops.

At the same time, they were waiting for Ponfey’s logistical troops to deliver their most important battle equipment, the Divine Martial Cannon!

Gaer Qinling was really calm. Before the arrival of the Tang army, he imitated the defensive tactics of the ancient Central Plains. He dispatched a large number of civilians and troops to dig out a huge gulf that was more than 100 feet wide in front of Luo Xi City, and then introduced the melting water of the iceberg as a moat. This moat was extremely difficult to cross unless it was released by boat or from the royal cities of Los Angeles.

Between the city wall and the moat, Gaer Qinling used the method of “stones piled up and covered with iron shield armor” to build more than 300 sentry towers, arrow towers, and beacon towers. Before the imperial city, there were practically no blind spots in sight. At the same time, these military buildings had become the strongest fortress in the imperial city.

From the distance between the moat and the walls of the imperial city and the iron towers, it could be seen that Gaer Qinling had already considered the siege weapon of the Tang army-the Divine Martial Cannon. These sentry towers were strong and fire-proof, and they were not afraid of the traditional long-range fire arrows of the Tang army. Even a Divine Martial Cannon would be greatly reduced in power if it was fired from such a long distance. Moreover, even if the cannonballs were to be fired at any cost, it would probably be very difficult to level off the defenses of the turtle-shelled arrow tower, let alone bomb the city gates.

The defenses of Luo’s imperial cities were already so strict that they were enough to bear the words “firm as golden soup”.

Gaer Qinling was indeed an accomplished soldier with both offensive and defensive capabilities.

After robbing a battalion earlier, Gaer Qinling seemed to be just trying to test the strength of the current Guanxi Army after a long journey. Now that he saw the soldiers at the gates, he remained unmoved. Like Qin Mubai, he was waiting for the other troops to gather together and have a decisive battle.

The two armies defended the camp and the city, unexpectedly against half a month, did not move a single soldier.

Soon, the rest of the troops sent Qin Mubai a military intelligence report. Apart from Pang Fei’s troops who stayed behind to guard the two river valleys, the rest of the five troops had successfully conquered the military area Qin Mubai had designated for them, and they had all led their troops towards the imperial cities of Luo.

The heavenly net was already slowly tightening.

At this moment, Gaer Qinling was like a tiger shark that had fallen into a trap. Not only did he not panic nor struggle, he did not move at all. It was as if he was waiting for the fisherman to retract the net before launching a fatal counterattack.

More than three hundred thousand Tibetan soldiers and horses were all stationed in the three camps inside and outside the imperial city, forming the horn defense system of the Iron Triangle. In addition, there were nearly 400,000 civilians in the imperial city. In the entire Luo City, the final aura of Tibet was gathered.

Qin Mubai gathered all the generals to discuss the strategy of breaking the city.

“Very few people are as calm as Gaer Qinling.” The old general Li Daliang said, “I have to admit, this brat is a bit of a general. He is responding to all changes without changing. He is simply trying to consume us to death by defending instead of attacking with his motionless movements!”

“He’s waiting for winter.” Qin Mubai said, “Even though it’s not just the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, I can feel the weather is clearly turning cold. On this strange plateau, there is a possibility of snow in another month or two. At that time, our army will be at a disadvantage!”

“If it’s a routine battle, we can completely surround it and not attack. We can wait for the internal chaos or the lack of food and water before going to catch the turtle in a jar.” Li Junxian shook his head, “But the situation in front of me is exactly the opposite.” Tibet had gathered all the troops and grain in the imperial city, so they were not afraid of losing supplies in a short period of time. On the contrary, if we continue to consume it, it will be us who will be cut off. “In addition, the arrival of winter snow is completely unsuitable for our army. If Gaer Qinling retaliates at that time … he is indeed a cunning and ruthless opponent. He has made full use of the favorable weather!”

“Then, we can only forcefully attack the city?” The generals said at the same time.

Qin Mubai’s eyebrows furrowed as he meditated for a moment. “Wait another ten days!-the last ten days!”

“What is Major Marshal waiting for?” The generals asked in confusion.

The scene in front of him, even if it was a day, was still very precious. Not to mention the other things, just 400 thousand troops in a day were astronomical figures. The rear had to transport grain to Luo Xi City, and it was more than three times more expensive than the previous resupply!

“At that time, you will know.” Qin Mubai took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. A strange smile appeared on his face as he said to the generals, “Our army has come from afar and is quite exhausted. In ten days, the generals will be able to rectify their forces and prepare for the final battle. During this period of time, our army must not rashly move a single soldier or soldier. At the same time, we must be vigilant against the enemy’s tribulation camp.”

‘”Yes!–” Although he didn’t understand why Qin Mubai did this, the generals had already given the order and had no choice but to receive the order and return to their respective camps.

To be able to get a few days of rest and recuperation was precious to Guanxi Army right now. Many soldiers with strong altitude sickness gradually recovered and adapted. Gaer Qinling still hadn’t sent a single soldier out of the imperial city.

The other five troops had already advanced to the vicinity of the imperial cities of Luo. There were no more than a few miles between each troop. The sound of horns could be heard from each other, and the smoke of the beacons was well known to everyone.

Seven days later, the Divine Martial Cannon and more than seventy carts of Five-fingered Divine Lightning that Qin Mubai wanted to see through finally arrived at Palmoli!

Qin Shi, the dog slave Qin Mubai trusted the most, was once again ordered to accept a secret mission from Qin Mubai along with the craftsmen of the Iron Valley.

In two days, more than a hundred craftsmen made more than 600 flying kites according to the blueprints given by Qin Mubai!

It was a kite!

However, this kind of kite is different from the kite used to play by ordinary folk. It consisted of three sturdy armor-piercing arrows, divided into bones of tough wood, and covered with vines from the marching tent. Its wings were more than ten zhang wide (three meters), and its entire body was shaped like a streamlined swallow.

After completing the project, Qin Mubai invited the generals to the wilderness more than thirty miles behind the camp to test it out in public.

General Qin Mubai smiled and said, “Gaer Qinling dressed up as a turtle in an unusual manner. This is beyond my expectations. Luo Xi City is as solid as gold soup. It is impossible for us to forcefully take it. Even if we barely take it down, our army will suffer heavy losses. Then, we can only send Gaer Qinling out of Luo Xi City and fight him head on!”

“A little more logical?” The crowd asked, puzzled, “With these-Flying Kite?”

“Of course.” Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously and said, “Actually, I designed these things a long time ago, and I have done a few experiments before. I feel that it’s alright. These past few days, I have asked the military craftsmen to hurry up and make a batch of them. I hope they can be of use-Qin Shi!”

“This lowly person is here!” Qin Picked it up and answered.

“Let’s try and take a look with the generals.”

“Yes!”

Qin Shi and a few craftsmen immediately took action. First, they took out a specially made “bed crossbow” made by Iron Valley. This was something Qin Mubai had modified from the bed crossbow made by the Song Dynasty according to the historical records.

Bed crossbows were originally the culmination of crossbow and arrow weapons. At first glance, they looked like a loom. However, the wooden frame was not equipped with a loom for weaving cloth. Instead, it was equipped with three iron tire hard bows!

This kind of bed crossbow required ten people to rotate two axles on both sides before it could be pulled apart. Its range could reach a terrifying 1500 meters! On the eve of the Song Liao Tan Yuan Alliance, the Khitan Great General Xiao Da Lan was killed by the crossbow bolt in his bed, causing the morale of the Khitan Great General to plummet.

However, Song Chao’s bed crossbow shot out an iron-headed crossbow. Qin Mubai had Iron Valley’s bed crossbow shoot out a powerful gunpowder explosive arrow with five-fingered divine lightning!

Now that the crossbow had been modified, even Qin Mubai did not know if it could display its true power.

Qin Shi had already made his move.

The giant flying kite was placed on the ballista instead of the thick ballista. According to Qin Mubai’s own experiments and design optimization, these crossbows used to use three-sided iron tire bows as strings, but now they only used two cuticle bows that reduced their elasticity. Otherwise, the flying kite would definitely be torn into pieces by the instantly powerful backlash of the air.

Loading complete. Qin Shi looked at Qin Mubai, who nodded.

“Launch!

The string rang!

The large flying kite that was shaped like a swallow flew up into the clouds like a bolt of lightning, then glided forward and landed a few miles away!

This distance had already greatly exceeded the effective range of the Divine Martial Cannon. Compared to the current distance between the Guanxi Army garrison camp and Tibet Imperial City, it was roughly the same!

“Success!!!” Qin Mubai clapped his hands and laughed loudly!

“We understand!” “If these flying kites are tied with five-fingered divine lightning, they will be able to fly into Tibet’s imperial city in the Guanxi Army camp a few miles away! At that time, no matter how sturdy the walls, tower sentries, and city guards outside Tibet’s imperial city are, we will first pluck out his heart!”

Qin Mubai nodded and said, “However, there is one more question. Was this divine lightning detonated by impact or by firing a fuse first? If it was a fuse, how long would it take?-Qin Shi, I’ll leave this big trouble to you!”

“This lowly one accepts my orders! This lowly one will immediately start experimenting a hundred times. Within three days, I will return my orders to Master!” Qin Shi solemnly promised.

“Alright!” Qin Mubai shouted, “Three days later, the six battalions will attack at the same time. However, it is not a military siege-it is a divine weapon descending from the heavens, the Fire Phoenix Burning City!”

“Haha, good!!” The generals laughed out loud!

Qin Mubai heaved a sigh of relief and thought to himself, “Gaer Qinling, you are indeed a peak warrior in this era. I know that I cannot compare to you even if I cultivate for another ten to eight years.” You have seen my divine cannon before, but-if I am not a little better than you, and do not waste more than a thousand years of my life? Just the power and range of these shen wu cannons is indeed far from enough to blow down your fortress. I can’t build any Scud missiles in a short period of time. However, I always know how to use ejection and gliding to increase the range of an aerial bombardment. –Our Eighth Route Army killed the Japanese and puppet army’s blockhouses just like that. When I was in the military academy, I didn’t watch so many patriotic anti-Japanese movies in vain! ”

“Gaer Qinling, you think you’re unlucky!”

Three days later, late at night.

Suddenly, a series of cannon warnings rang out from the Tang army camp, alarming the night sky on the plateau.

Instantly, countless lights lit up the Luo City sentry towers that were already waiting in a tight formation. Bang gongs rang everywhere!

“The Tang army has sieged the city!!!”

The entire imperial city was in an uproar as it instantly woke up from its deep slumber!

Strangely, the Tibetans did not see a single soldier of the Tang army. Only sharp-eyed people saw countless “UFOs” coming from the torch-lit night sky.

“Then … what is that?” The Tibetan soldiers pointed at the sky and shouted in panic.

A large number of “UFOs” flew into the sky like monsters riding on clouds and mist, and then began to descend.

In an instant-“Boom, boom!”

Flowers blossomed everywhere, and fire exploded everywhere!

Genius Qin Shi’s lead design was as accurate as a computer!

In the city of Luo, it turned into a purgatory! !

…

Qin Mubai’s expression was as silent as water as he watched the flames in the distant city soar into the sky and the panicked people shouting for a horse attendant to stir the night sky.

“Mr. Yuan Tiangang, the Demon Star you spoke of has created yet another large amount of slaughter.” He smiled bitterly and said to himself, “Illusory Moon Valley, Dafeichuan, Golmud are buried alive and flooded with more than 200,000 yuan.” There were 300,000 troops and 400,000 civilians in the royal cities of Luo. I don’t know how many people will die today … Alright! Now that the matter had come to this point, the great sin of the heavens had also been borne! War is war, either you die or I live–Gaer Qinling, I don’t believe you can hide in a turtle shell! Your iron turtle shell is useless in front of me. Obediently scram out and fight to the death! ”
