Shang Qixin'er looked at the small stone castle standing between the two mountains, and her uneasiness deepened.
When Jinshan Pass is located between the Qilian Mountains and the Daxue Mountains, the terrain here is much gentler than the mountains on both sides and can accommodate large armies passing through.
The Tang Dynasty and Tubo built castles at the southern and northern ends of Dangjin Pass respectively.
The small stone fort was built on the high ground at the southern end of Dangjin Mountain Pass, guarding the Tibetan entrance to Dangjin Mountain Pass, which is of great strategic significance.
During the reign of the previous generation Zanpu, the battles between Tang Dynasty and Tubo in the Western Regions centered around the four towns of Anxi at the western end of Longyou Road.
Although there were sporadic intrusions by small Tibetan troops in Shazhou, there had never been a major war in Shazhou for decades.
This is because the Tang Dynasty and Tubo each controlled one end of the Dangjin Pass, and the armies of both sides were unable to pass through the Dangjin Pass.
Shang Qixin'er called her most trusted enemy defense officer and asked, "Has the bird envoy sent out not returned yet?"
"I made a lot of comments, but they didn't come back."
Shang Qi'er looked at the calm little stone castle and gave up the last bit of luck in her heart.
"Inform the front and rear troops to prepare for battle!"
Shang Qi knew in her heart that something must have happened to Little Stone Castle!
The whereabouts of the three bird envoys were unknown. When they saw their army arriving at the foot of the mountain, the defenders of the small stone castle did not even come out to greet them.
All this shows that something happened to Xiaoshibao! Shang Qixin'er is also a decisive person. He gave up his illusions and directly informed the armies to prepare for battle!
Standing on the hill next to the small stone fort, Qin Chuan looked at the Tubo army changing their formations and sighed in his heart: "It seems that we can't trick the Tibetan people into entering the small stone fort. Are you ready, Yu Junjie?"
Yu Junjie, who was doing final confirmation work beside the small stone castle, said: "Preparations are complete!"
Qin Chuan watched Shang Qixin'er's army put up a large banner representing "Theory", and said with a smile: "Let these Tubo people see the power of our civil people! Yu Junjie, start blasting!"
Shang Qixin'er was giving orders to march towards Xiaoshibao, when he saw a scene he would never forget.
After a loud noise, the observation deck at the top of the small stone castle began to slide down.
Immediately after starting from the observation deck, the roof and walls of the small stone castle began to collapse. This stone castle that Tubo spent five years building and decades of continuous reinforcement collapsed unexpectedly!
This castle that the Tubo people claimed would never fall collapsed unexpectedly!
Shang Qi'er's heart was pounding, what on earth is going on?
Why did the sturdy little stone fortress collapse in an instant?
"Not good!" Shang Qixin'er suddenly realized that the army under her command was just like her, watching the small stone fort collapse before her eyes.
He immediately called the bird messengers around him and said: "Go to the front and rear armies and tell everyone that these are evil spells of the Tang people. This treatise has already provided protection for all soldiers. The spells of the Tang people cannot hurt us."
of!"
The bird messenger next to Shang Qi Xin'er was also a little frightened. Hearing what Shang Qi Xin'er said, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
But they still bowed their bodies and obeyed Da Lun's orders, passing the news that Da Lun had used magic to protect the soldiers to every Qianhu official.
The vanguard general Wu Ren is a brave Tibetan warrior and the general that Shang Qi Xin'er relies on most.
He led the Yongguan Battalion composed of three thousand household heads and two thousand selected slaves, and marched towards Dangjin Pass as the vanguard of the army.
The former army was closer to the small stone fort. Seeing the small stone fort collapse with his own eyes, Wu Ren was also frightened.
Fortunately, at this time, Da Lun's bird envoys conveyed that Da Lun had sent blessings to protect every Tibetan warrior from the evil magic of the Tang Dynasty. Wu Ren was able to regain some morale.
But seeing the small stone fortress collapse with his own eyes, the Tibetan army's battle plan was about to be revised.
Wu Ren ordered the front army to stop advancing and sent his cronies to ask Shang Qixin'er about his next plan.
The Chinese army led by Shang Qixin'er personally also stopped. The small stone fort was an important fulcrum for Tubo at Dangjin Pass. Now the small stone fort collapsed into ruins without knowing what kind of evil spell was cast by the Tang army.
Shang Qi'er had the worst idea in her heart, that is, Tang Dynasty occupied Xiaoshibao.
But even if the Tang Dynasty occupied the small stone fort, Shang Qixin'er had 10,000 elite soldiers, and the small stone fort was backed by a river valley. The Tubo army could surround the small stone fort from the flat river valley and easily capture it from the Tang army.
return.
But Shang Qixin'er never thought that the Tang army would give up the small stone fort so decisively, and also used some evil method to demolish the small stone fort in an instant.
What should we do next? Shang Qi'er looked at the black smoke rising from the collapsed stone castle, and now she was really in trouble.
Forcing an aniseed collection in winter would have overdrawn Tubo's combat strength in spring or even autumn. If it failed at this time, it would be a big loss.
What's more important is that Shang Qixin'er has always been a hardliner who fought against the Tang Dynasty, but now that the new Zampu has succeeded to the throne, his attitude towards the Tang Dynasty is unclear. The Cai Bang family in power in the royal court is a dove who advocates peace against the Tang Dynasty.
If this battle goes unfavorably, Cai Bang, the Prime Minister of the royal court, will definitely impeach him for losing the small stone fort, and Shang Qi'er will fall into a passive position.
No matter what, this battle must be fought!
After calculating the pros and cons, Shang Qixin'er said to her subordinate Bird Envoy: "Blow the horn of attack. The brave Tibetan warriors will not be frightened by the Tang Dynasty's magic. Without the small stone fort, we will capture the Tang people's fortress."
!”
Shang Qixin'er was still confident. The Tang Dynasty only had a few thousand troops in Shazhou. Even if King Jianning led all the soldiers and horses in Shazhou to support Dashibao, the number was far less than that of Tubo.
When the mountain stream at Jinshan Pass was narrow, the Tang army could not form a formation in the mountain stream, which was more conducive to the fighting of Tibetan soldiers with strong individual soldiers.
Isn't it just destroying the small stone fort? As long as the big stone fort is captured, Tibet will have the initiative to fight against the Tang Dynasty.
With full control of Dangjin Mountain Pass, Shang Qixin'er can attack Shazhou at any time.
Then Shang Qixin'er's plan to cut off Longyou East Road and swallow up Longyou West Road can be implemented!
The rich land developed by the Tang Dynasty in Longyou for hundreds of years, and the starting point of the Silk Road where merchants gathered, could fall into the hands of Tubo.
What's more important is that by occupying the fertile land in Longyou, Shang Qixin'er's family power will be further expanded, and Shang Qixin'er's family may be able to compete for the throne of Galun (Prime Minister).
After successfully completing the directional blasting mission, the player's construction team, Qin Chuan, led the player to retreat to the first line of defense constructed by the player in the mountain stream.
This is a defensive line of earth that was excavated overnight. On the small earth slope built up, players pulled up the barbed wire, a defensive artifact.
Three newly built cannons were carried by several power players and installed on the gun mounts behind the barbed wire.
Yu Chixin raised the banner representing King Jianning, and he placed his headquarters behind the first line of defense. All players are looking forward to the biggest battle since the player's arrival!
