Just when the entire Longyou Battle was covered with clouds, Dangjin Mountain Pass, where a battle had taken place, was now as calm as a lake without any waves.
After the long and narrow Dangjin Mountain Pass comes out, there is a flat and open valley. The river flows through the valley and nourishes this area.
Now, spring-sown wheat has been planted on the valley floor, and green waves of wheat are beating against the fortress.
These forts were built by Qin Chuan and the players. Huge cannon barrels were installed on the prismatic forts.
Wells were dug in each bastion and a large amount of dry food was stored, which was enough to withstand the enemy's long siege.
Before these neighboring bastions were built, Shang Qixin'er was unwilling to send some troops to attack, trying to seize this valley.
But before their soldiers could reach the bastion, they were scared away by the artillery fire on the bastion.
The Tubo people did not build siege equipment, so they had no choice but to use these bastions to help each other. After all the bastions were built, the Tubo people simply implemented the strategy of strengthening the walls and clearing the field, evacuated the surrounding tribes, and abandoned the area.
Gave it to Tang Dynasty.
Qinchuan soon discovered the retreat of the Tubo people, and the group of players who built the fortress began to explore the nearby wasteland.
Qinchuan was riding a Tubo horse. This kind of small pony can endure the plateau environment and has strong load-bearing capacity, but its explosive power is not very good.
A team like Qin Chuan is advancing in the wasteland. This is a team composed purely of players. There are a total of twenty players including Qin Chuan.
They are all elite players in the construction company. After exercising at the construction site for a while, they exchanged their contribution points for strength and agility attributes. Their measurements are almost the same as those of top general players.
Qinchuan and the others originally wanted to go to Zhangye to participate in the battle, but the journey from Dangjinshan Pass to Zhangye was too far. It was estimated that by the time they rushed there, the battle would have been over.
The construction of the bastion at Dangjin Pass has been completed, and the railway from Dangjin Pass to Shazhou has also been suspended due to insufficient supply from the iron works.
So Qin Chuan and the others had nothing to do at Jinshan Pass, and this group of players came up with an idea.
Among this group of civil servants, there is a player named Zhang Hua, who is Cui Tao's younger brother and a student majoring in Sui and Tang history.
He found Qin Chuan and proposed a bold plan.
"We can send troops from Dangjin Mountain Pass to attack the Tubo East Road!"
Hearing this plan, Qinchuan was stunned. Attack the Tubo East Road from Dangjin Mountain Pass?
This bold plan seems to have the possibility of being implemented if we think about it carefully.
There were more than a thousand horses, oxen, and engineering teams building the bastion in the river valley.
There are two hundred players among them, and the remaining one thousand are laborers recruited by Shazhou.
Since King Jianning abolished corvee service, all government projects have used money to recruit workers.
Although these workers work hard, they get money from their families every month, and they also get food subsidies for working on the construction site.
And Qinchuan started farming in the river valley, and several players who knew how to raise livestock also grazed here. Now the output of the river valley is subsidized to feed the engineering team, and these aboriginal workers are all strong.
Two hundred players and a thousand civilians, this is almost the same as the military strength of the Captive Guards.
Qin Chuan heard Zhang Hua's suggestion:
"When Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty defeated Tuyuhun, he sent troops in two directions, attacking Tuyuhun all the way from Liangzhou, and attacking Tuyuhun all the way from Dunhuang, that is, from Dangjin Mountain Pass. They attacked from two directions, and finally defeated Tuyuhun's army and met at Tianqian City.
.”
Qinchuan frowned. Today's Tubo East Road is the former Tuyuhun area.
The method of destroying Tuyuhun in the Sui Dynasty can be completely repeated!
Now there are two fronts, one east and one west. If we attack from the west, we can contain at least part of the Tibetan army.
However, Qin Chuan still hesitated, so he took more than 20 players to explore near Dangjin Mountain Pass.
The group of people walked for more than a day, but still no one was around.
The war horse was panting heavily. It was obvious that both the horse and man were very tired after walking for a day.
Zhang Hua wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Everything about Datang Fengyun is good, but it is too real. After riding a horse for a day, my back is sore and it is really uncomfortable."
Qin Chuan also wiped his sweat and said: "This is already the result of lowering the pain sensation. If you ride a horse for a day in the real world, your butt will be worn out."
Everyone camped under a big rock, and after tying the horses firmly, Qin Chuan began to inspect the horses' hooves.
Like cars, war horses also require careful maintenance to avoid problems.
These Tibetan horses were all bound with iron horseshoes. Qin Chuan carefully inspected the horseshoes, peeled off the stones in the horseshoes, and fed the horses water and fodder before setting up the tent.
When traveling long distances in the wild, a mount is the most important thing. Qin Chuan's [Wild Survival] skill has already been upgraded to the "Mastery" level.
Qin Chuan is also quite talented in [Riding], and has now been promoted to the "Proficient" level, which is already the top level among players.
Zhang Hua took out a bag and sprinkled dried beast dung near the camp. The smell could drive away small beasts such as mink and raccoon dogs in the wilderness.
Zhang Hua led a big yellow dog, and after leading the dog around the camp, Zhang Hua said to Qin Chuan:
"Dahuang has already checked. There are no traces of large beasts around here."
When building the bastion in the river valley, Qin Chuan and the others had to deal with wild beasts a lot, and their [Wild Survival] skills have improved a lot.
Zhang Hua also bought this big yellow dog from the nearby Qiang tribe. It is said that he has been trained since he was a child and can distinguish the smell of fierce animals.
This big yellow dog was also very spiritual, so Zhang Hua raised it and unexpectedly upgraded the [Animal Taming] skill to the "Mastery" level.
After setting up a bonfire and looking at the gorgeous sky above their heads in the wilderness of the northern Tibetan Plateau, everyone couldn't help but be mesmerized.
Qin Chuan said: "You know, this is a good location to build an observatory. When I was a soldier, I escorted the astronomical scientific expedition team to Dunhuang, but the starry sky was not as beautiful as this one!"
Qin Chuan sighed with emotion, and Zhang Hua also murmured: "The stars are so brilliant, it would be so beautiful if they appeared among them!"
Just when everyone was about to take a rest, suddenly the big yellow dog started barking wildly.
Immediately afterwards, Qin Chuan and Zhang Hua heard the low roar of a beast.
After hearing this low moan, the war horses tied at the edge of the camp also neighed.
Qin Chuan and Zhang Hua immediately climbed out of the tent, looked at each other and said, "Wolf!"
Sure enough, as soon as they finished speaking, wolf howls sounded one after another, and the players came out of the tent one after another, with excitement and fear in their eyes!
