Chapter 355 Tongguan
Qin Ling had seen the power of the Tang Army's musketeers, and quickly identified that the "firecracker" sound was the sound of the Tang Army's muskets.
It¡¯s just that the sound of musketry was so rapid and intensive, there must have been at least hundreds of musketeers shooting at the same time!
Hundreds of musketeers?
Qin Ling's face became extremely solemn. Could it be that Li Zhen had the reputation of being a foresight and had already ambushed hundreds of musketeers in the jungle, just waiting for him to take the bait?
No, we will suffer big losses if we continue like this. I have seen the power of the musketeers. If there are hundreds of musketeers ambushing in the jungle, then these thousand people will probably be wiped out.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta"
In the distance, another burst of gunfire rang out. At this time, a soldier covered in blood staggered out of the woods and arrived in front of Qin Ling.
"General Tang Jun's muskets fire guns"
The next moment, the soldier was dead.
As expected, it was Tang Jun who ambushed the Musketeers in the woods!
"Quickly ring the gold!" Qin Ling roared.
The next moment, a series of gongs sounded.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta"
Gunshots were still heard from time to time in the jungle, and the Tubo people retreated from the jungle one after another. Qinling looked again and found that only 500 of the 1,000 people who set out were left.
Qin Ling's face was extremely sad. It seemed that the Tang army had indeed ambushed the musketeers in the jungle, and they really could not advance any further. Otherwise, the remaining five hundred people would not be able to escape from the guns. Unexpectedly, this time Li Li Zhen ran away!
"Ta-ta-ta-ta"
At this moment, at the edge of the jungle, the sound of gunshots suddenly occurred. The soldiers in front of Qin Ling fell instantly, but it was Li Zhen who led the men to catch up.
"Get on your horse!"
Qin Ling roared, got on his horse, and fled with the rest of the Tubo army
Li Zhen led the men out of the woods and looked at the Tubo army in the distance. Li Zhen did not pursue them. The reason was very simple. In the ambush just now, Li Zhen's men had used up almost all the bullets.
Twenty muskets and two heavy machine guns had very few bullets left in the seven-day and seven-night Chang'an defense battle. After the ambush just now, Li Zhen used the remaining bullets to scare off the rest of Qinling's troops. However, the gun in his hand They all became fire sticks.
Li Zhen gritted her teeth and ordered all the muskets and heavy machine guns to be buried, then mounted her horse and headed towards Tongguan.
Tongguan is adjacent to the Yellow River in the north and the mountainside in the south. "Shui Jing Zhu" records: "The river flows in the south of Guan Nei and Tongjiguan Mountain, so it is called Tongguan." It was first built in the first year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Tongguan is the east gate of Guanzhong and has always been a battleground for military strategists.
The situation of Tongguan is very dangerous. There are Qinling Mountains in the south, Forbidden Valley in the southeast, and 12 Liancheng in the south of the valley. In the north, the Wei and Luo Rivers meet the Yellow River and hug the pass, and in the west it is close to Huayue. The surrounding mountains are surrounded by mountains and peaks, with deep valleys and cliffs. The mountains are high and the road is narrow. There is a narrow catwalk in the middle, which can only accommodate one car and one horse.
People often describe the dangerous situation here as "the thin road is dangerous and the apes compete" and "the road to the world stops at Tongguan Pass".
Because Tongguan is the only way to enter the Central Plains from the east and Guanzhong and the Western Regions from the west, as well as an important pass for defense, it has always been a battleground for military strategists. reputation.
At this time, the defender of Tongguan was Helan Yueshi, who turned out to be Li Zhen's Fa Cao who joined the army, and Helan Yueshi's father was Yingshan Gong Helan Shiren, who is now the Luoyang order and controls the Luoyang area.
The reason why Helan Shiren was allowed to occupy such a position was not only because Helan Yueshi was once Li Zhen's subordinate, but also because Helan Yueshi was Wu Meiniang's brother-in-law and brother-in-law with Li Zhen.
They are family members, so Helan Yueshi can be regarded as Li Zhen's confidant, and they and his son guard Tongguan and Luoyang.
At this time, Li Zhen arrived outside Tongguan and prepared to enter Tongguan.
In the distance, the tall city gate was clearly visible, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to enter the gate.
But Li Zhen shook her head and said, "Let's wait and see."
Nina asked in surprise: "Your Highness, why don't you just enter the customs?"
Li Zhen said softly: "The situation is complicated now. The Tubo people have occupied Chang'an. Most of the local officials are self-reliant and do not obey the court's orders. Although Helan Yueshi was once my subordinate, in this world, people's hearts are unpredictable. What if?" His father and son have the desire to separate themselves and rule the country, so if I go through like this, wouldn't I be falling into a trap?"
Nina suddenly realized it and said: "What His Highness said is absolutely true. Let Nina go for His Highness and see Helan Yueshi's attitude."
?After saying that, Nina led a dozen soldiers towards Tongguan.
At this time, the gate of Tongguan was closed, and the city was heavily guarded with countless soldiers guarding it.
Nina came to the city and said: "I am Nina, the captain of the guard of Li Zhen, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. Let Helan Yueshi come out and answer!"
After a while, a general wearing armor appeared at the top of Tongguan.
Nina looked up and recognized Helan Yueshi at a glance, and said: "General Helan, I am Nina! Open the city gate and let me in!"
But I heard Helan Yueshi yelling: "I never recognize Nina! This person must be a spy of the Tibetan people, come here, shoot me an arrow!"
The next moment, countless feather arrows were shot towards Nina.
Nina was shocked. She drew her arrows and cursed: "Helan Yueshi, do you want to rebel against the Tang Dynasty?"
He Lan Yue Shi laughed loudly and said: "The Emperor is dead, so where is the Tang Dynasty! In this world, the virtuous will live!"
As soon as these words came out, Nina already understood that Helan Yueshi actually wanted to separate the country and rebelled against the Tang Dynasty!
"Rebel!"
Nina turned around and rode back, but Helan Yueshi did not chase her. Obviously, the little Nina did not put him in his eyes, and he did not bother to send troops to pursue her.
When Nina returned to Li Zhen and told Li Zhen everything she saw, Li Zhen gritted her teeth and her eyes flashed with cold light.
Unexpectedly, Helan Yueshi actually turned against him!
Since Helan Yueshi has rebelled, his father Helan Shiren in Luoyang must have also rebelled.
This father and son want to occupy the sacred land of Tongguan and Luoyang, become the second Wang Shichong, and strive for world hegemony!
Damn it!
Helan Yueshi! Helan Shiren, I, Li Zhen, will never let you and your son go!
In fact, what Li Zhen doesn't know now is that after the fall of Chang'an, Li Shimin's death in battle, and the unknown news of Li Zhen's life and death, the entire Tang Dynasty became extremely chaotic, with various regions becoming self-reliant, local officials separatist forces, and a group of heroes forming separate factions. trend.
In Luoyang, Helan Shiren heard that Chang'an had fallen, Li Shimin had died in battle, and Li Zhen's life and death were unknown. His first reaction was to proclaim himself king and become the second Wang Shichong!
Luoyang is located in the Central Plains and is the center of the world. This is the capital of the emperor. And Helan Shiren relied on the dangers of Luoyang's mountains and rivers, as well as the fertile land and rich products to build an army of 100,000 people!
