The city of Julan is not big, and Zhou Quji and his brothers are experienced. Therefore, it took less than a long time to control all the key places in the city and restore order in the city.

Because the escape was too hasty, the defender of Julan City Pohuo only brought a small number of direct troops. He threw away all the gains from his years of embezzlement and the materials in the official warehouse. The defeated soldiers and rascals in the city did not have time to plunder and destroy them under the rapid suppression of the Tang army. Therefore, in this battle, the Tang army had a very rich harvest. Just gold, silver, jewelry and various coins, there were more than 200,000 hangs. Food, cattle and sheep were supplied to the army for a month, which was more than enough.

Zhou Quji was very angry and refused to embarrass Zhang Renyuan and his uncle Zhou Jianliang. So after controlling Julan City, he immediately invited Shi Jin and Luo Huaizu to his side, and registered all the seized materials in front of them. Then, he sent his personal soldiers to chase Zhang Qian and asked for the next combat arrangements.

After receiving Zhou Quji's request, Zhang Qian did not hesitate at all. He immediately sent an order to ask Shi Jin to lead his 300 brothers to take charge of Julan City and guard the rear route for the army. The task for Zhou Quji and Luo Huaizu was to first lead their brothers to rest in Julan City for one night, then escort all the seized supplies to the city of Talas, two hundred and fifty miles away, and meet with the main force.

He had a kind heart and did not want the brothers of Shuofang Army who came from afar to be too tired. However, how could Zhou Quji, who had just witnessed the power of gunpowder bullets, sleep? He tossed and turned in bed for most of the night. Before the sun rose the next day, he stared at his red eyes and went to meet Luo Huaizu. Then, the two of them took their brothers on the journey.

It was May? The weather was neither cold nor hot. All the obstacles ahead were directly beaten by the main force led by Zhang Qian? Therefore, although the number of brothers under Zhou Quji and Luo Huaizu was small, no enemy dared to intercept them.

But the two of them escorted too much materials? The roads in Shiguo have not been repaired until the Tang Dynasty gave up the west of the Palacio Mountains, so hurry up and hurry up? The two of them are still about half a day away from the main force.

Zhou Quji and Luo Huaizu worked together last year when they were in Yangcheng. He also knew that the latter was Zhang Qian's uncle. Therefore, he regarded himself as a junior along the way. No matter how big or small, he first solicited Luo Huaizu's opinions before making a decision.

And Luo Huaizu was born to be a master who likes to listen to good words. Seeing that Zhou Quji was respectful to him, he also chose to repay his kindness. Not only did he refuse to be arrogant in everything, but occasionally the former asked him some questions? He could also speak in everything.

"Dare you ask the uncle of the master, how many years did the Mo family accept disciples? Is the younger generation still accepting disciples? Is the younger generation not able to study, and my martial arts skills are also average? But I especially like the new military equipment provided by Zhang Zhen Detention Center. On the Shuofang Army, they are also the first batch of people who learned to use fire dragon chariots and hand-crank crossbows." Before arriving in Talas, I had no hope of catching up with the main force. Zhou Quji simply calmed down? While rushing to the road, he continued to get close to Luo Huaizu, "If I still accept disciples, I hope I can have the opportunity to learn from my master. No matter which uncle I am at, I think I will be lucky in my three lives!"

"The Mo family has always opened the mountain gate and does not refuse any qualified person." Zhou Quji, who likes him, has a sweet mouth. Luo Huaizu has long forgotten the experience of being beaten by this man and his nose and face swollen when he first met. He smiled and stroked his beard, and the old god nodded.

"Why do the disciple's qualifications look at how good the uncle is?" Zhou Quji was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly beat the snake and rode it on.

"Of course you have no choice of qualifications!" Luo Huaizu looked at him and continued to nod his head with a smile, "But--"

Suddenly he let out a long sigh, and he shook his head helplessly, "What you want to learn, I can't teach you. Those are Qin Mo's unique skills, but I am the leader of Qi Mo. Moreover, I can't be the master of Yong Zhao. He is the senior brother sent by Qin Mo to enter the world. Since I came out of the mountain, I have not seen him accept a disciple."

"This--" Zhou Quji was so dodged that he almost fell off his horse's back. He was stunned for a while before he bowed with a blushing face, "Thank you for your advice from Uncle Master, it's my recklessness. Qin Mo's unique skills, any of them, are enough to be a general and a marquis. The younger generation and Zhang Zhenshou have been in contact for too short, so they shouldn't have such greed."

"He refused to accept disciples, but he passed on his skills on behalf of his master and accepted two junior brothers!" Intentionally making Zhou Quji anxious, Luo Huaizu continued to smile and shook his head, "It's just that you have a problem. He is called brothers from Zhou Duwei, but you are the nephew of Zhou Duwei. If he accepts you as junior brothers, he will be confused. It will be embarrassing to meet your uncle and nephew in the future."

"This—" Zhou Quji's fire of hope just ignited in his heart quickly extinguished again, and he cried and bowed again, "Thank you for your advice from uncle, I dare not be greedy anymore. My uncle has always treated me as if I were my own..."

"You idiot, you want to ask the secret of gunpowder bullets, and ask me directly, why do you have to take such a big bend?" Luo Huaizu felt more and more reluctant to look at it. He raised his hand and turned sideways, patted the other person's head gently, and scolded him with a smile.

"Me?" Zhou Quji was stunned, then his eyes widened, "Can I ask? Even if I don't join the Mo family?"

"You are stupid, you are so stupid? You promised to provide gunpowder bullets and mines to Shuofang Army, and arranged for you to go along with the teaching team. Do you still need to guess what it means?" Luo Huaizu rolled his eyelids and continued to smile and scold, "As for how to build this thing, since he gave it to Shuofang Army, next, when using Zhao, you will definitely hand over the manufacturing method to the court like the fire dragon cart and alcohol. You don't need to learn it at all, and you don't even know how to build it!"

"Men, I understand!" Zhou Quji blinked for a while before finally understanding Luo Huaizu's words. After a moment, he bowed with conscience, "Thank you for your advice from Uncle Master. I will study hard and will never let Zhang Zhenshou down."

"How to use mines and gunpowder bullets? You and your brothers can ask the people of the teaching group at any time. The reason why they call the teaching group is to learn the skills themselves first and then teach them to the entire army." Luo Huaizu was in a happy mood these days and smiled and told him, "As for grenades, this thing is too dangerous and has not started to be used on a large scale in the army. If you want to learn, I can teach you, but we have agreed in advance that if you blow yourself up, you can't blame me."

"Thank you, uncle, I want to learn!" Zhou Quji became happier as he heard it, and bowed repeatedly, "Dancing a knife and a gun, you will inevitably hurt yourself. I am not afraid. Even if I really blow myself up, I promise not to blame anyone!"

"That's fine. I'll find you a group of brothers from the teaching team and let him start teaching you on the way. You have used gunpowder bullets before, but there is not much difference in usage from the current gunpowder bullets. Landmines are also very simple, and basically fools can learn it." Luo Huaizu admired the other party's ability and promised with a smile, "We are escorting the baggage, but we can't walk fast anyway. You can choose smart ones from the brothers under your command, and learn while walking. When you arrive at the city of Talas, you probably have learned it and can just practice with the enemy!"

"Thank you!" Zhou Quji was overjoyed, sat upright on the horse's back, and saluted Luo Huaizu respectfully. Then, he began to select more than fifty nimble and quick-witted brothers from his command, so that they could start learning the use of new weapons first.

Luo Huaizu also did what he said, and immediately drew out one brigade and one team of the teaching regiment and taught his skills step by step to the brothers under Zhou Quji. One of the two sides learned seriously and the other taught carefully. When camping every day, they also used stones to frame the stones to use the stones to conduct "actual combat". Therefore, in just three days, Zhou Quji and the brothers he picked out mastered the basic operations of gunpowder ammunition and landmines.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, the brothers of the two regiments finally arrived at the city of Danros. The city was tall and majestic, not inferior to the No. 1 Anxi hero city. Although the enemy tower and Tibetan soldiers on the top of the city had been blown up by the main force of the Tang army with gunpowder bullets, the defense still did not collapse. Whenever the smoke began to fade, a large number of soldiers rushed to the city along the horse roads inside the city, picked up corner bows and hard crossbows, and shot desperately outside the city.

Although it is difficult for feather arrows and crossbow arrows to threaten the Tang army due to the distance. However, the willpower and courage displayed by the defenders are very shocking. Compared with them, the Shi army generals who were previously in Julan City were simply a group of bandits. Even the Shi army generals who were defeated in the Tang Dynasty were hard to believe that they were once the same group as them.

"Is Yi Hu not in the city, or is it the king of Shi Kingdom who sent reinforcements to him?" Luo Huaizu felt suspicious in his heart. He grabbed Ren Wu, who came to welcome him and Zhou Quji into the camp, and couldn't wait to ask.

"There are no reinforcements? Yihu, who was vicious, spreading rumors in the city that if we broke the city, we would snatch all the property of everyone in Talas to repay the debts he was forced to admit. If we snatch all everyone's property, it would not be enough to pay the debt, we would pull all the men to Thunder Leaf as slaves and buy all the women to the caravans by passing." Ren Wu curled his lips and responded unhappily.

"Didn't we let a large number of people go back for the redemption fee of twenty people? They couldn't tell the people in the city about treating prisoners in Zhaoshan." Luo Huaizu's face turned blue when he heard this, and gritted his teeth to remind him.

"The person's words are light!" Ren Wu grinned and shook his head helplessly. "This place is different from other places. According to our detailed report, all those who were taken with Yi Hu were officials and wealthy and powerful in their families. But those who stayed there were no backers. Therefore, only his family believed the prisoners we released. However, countless figures of Yi Hu's lies were witnessed to him. After repeated many times, the lies were overshadowed by the facts."

"Grandma, I'm so shameless!" Zhou Quji was depressed when he heard this and couldn't help but curse from the side.

"Where is this? There are even more shameless things!" Ren Wu shrugged and looked like he was not surprised. "Do you remember there was a big food preacher? He had several accomplices who now live in the city. According to the news that Xizuo tried his best to send out of the city, these people did not dare to participate in the war, but mobilized many believers to help defend the city. Those believers believed that after their death, they could go to heaven and enjoy the wealth that was not in the world, so they all looked like madmen, and then another group came up!"

"Damn it!" Luo Huaizu was furious and instinctively pressed his palm on his waist to measure the scale.

As the head of Qi Mo, he was very familiar with the act of fooling believers to die. However, he used to fool others to die, but he always felt a little guilty in his heart. So if he could not use this trick, he would try not to use it. However, the great cannibals in the city regarded all the believers as consumables!

"In addition to using gunpowder bombs, Zhang Zhenshou has other strategies to break the city? The wall of Talas is so high, it must be as thick as it is. No matter how powerful the gunpowder bomb is, it will take ten days and half a month to explode a gap. The premise is that the defenders in the city will not do any repairs!" Zhou Quji was also very impressed and couldn't help but interrupt next to him again.

"We just arrived this morning, and Yihu didn't dare to send troops to fight. So, now both sides of the enemy and us are still in the tentative stage. The guard commander had no hope of bombing a few times, and he could scare and collapse the morale of the defender like last time!" Ren Wu thought for a while and shook his head gently, "How to break the city, the guard commander was discussing with Zhou Duwei in the Central Army."

As soon as he finished speaking, a scream suddenly came from the city head in the distance. The three of them turned their heads and looked at each other, and saw hundreds of people vaguely being led by a group of soldiers with knives and spears, and being sent to the city wall facing the Tang army and the horse faces on the left and right sides. The horse faces and the Shi State soldiers on the city wall quickly stood up and moved backwards. In a blink of an eye, they were mixed with the group of people, and they could no longer distinguish them.

"What's going on? Yi Hu is crazy, harboring his people to block gunpowder bullets for the soldiers?!" The distance was too far, and Luo Huaizu couldn't see clearly the specific appearance and dress of the people on the city, but an inexplicable feeling of irritability surged in his heart, and he frowned and asked in a low voice.

"I can't see clearly, I need a telescope!" Ren Wu frowned and responded softly.

"Come on, take me with a telescope!" Luo Huaizu immediately had an idea after hearing his words, turned his head and whispered orders to the personal soldiers.

"As for the order!" The personal soldiers agreed, took a cowhide pocket from behind the horse, and were about to take out the telescope and send it to Luo Huaizu. But suddenly there was another loud sound of horse hooves in his ears. Immediately afterwards, several scouts rushed back from the city of Talas, and everyone's face was full of anger.

"What's going on? What tricks are Yi Hu playing?" Luo Huaizu had a unique position and waved his hand to his personal soldiers first, then instigated his mount to face a scout and asked loudly.

"Beast, Yi Hu is a beast!" The scout's eyes turned red, and his voice trembled because he was too angry. "He caught a group of Tang people from somewhere and took them all to the city wall. He said, he asked us to blow it up casually, kill a group of Tang people, and he changed another group of Tang people to come up!"
