Chang'an changed hands, but it could not affect Qin Huaidao's western expedition.
The army trotted forward, using running as training, and headed west along the river, heading straight towards Gangdise.
Gangdise is the source of the Brahmaputra River, but the mountains are so steep that it is impossible to walk. There is a lake to the east of Gangdise called Gongzhucuo. When approaching Gangdise, the army went eastward around Gongzhucuo, and there was a huge circle all the way to the north.
In the west of the inland lake Manasarovar, there is also a lake shaped like a big stick bone.
Across the lake all the way to the north is the Grand Canyon, which is the Yezi Expressway and Ali Kunsha Airport in later generations. Qin Huaidao's later generations often performed tasks in this generation. He is familiar with the terrain and will naturally not go wrong. This route has a
The river is called Garzangpo, and all the way north along the river is Pangong Tso.
Pangong Tso is a long lake, like a dragon sleeping soundly in its nest. It is surrounded by plateaus and snow-capped mountains, which is not conducive to human habitation and life at all. Going northwest is Kashmir. Not to mention that war horses cannot climb it and humans cannot walk.
We can only go around in the northeast direction, which is the Karakoram Mountains in later generations.
Walking along the foot of the Karakoram Mountains, you can reach the Balese River City, which is Qin Huaidao's intended destination.
This journey took half a year.
The soldiers and horses were exhausted, and everyone lost a lot of weight. Many people could not resist and died on the way. The spirit and willpower of all those who survived were greatly tempered. Seeing the city in front of them, they all burst into tears.
, cried with joy - finally reached a place with people.
People who came along this way could not do anything but eat and sleep. All they saw along the way were mountains and climbs, which made them go crazy. If there were not many people and companions, no one would be able to persevere.
Qin Huaidao was okay and had a strong willpower, but in order to boost his morale, he set an example. He also lost a lot of weight. He had an unkempt beard and looked unkempt, looking like a tramp. He looked at the city in front of him and was filled with emotion.
"Haha, we finally have someone. The King of Han will lead his men to fight in and seize the city. If we don't find a place to have a good meal and take a hot bath, our brothers will go crazy." Xue Wanche came up quickly and said,
Being able to survive till now is all due to a good foundation.
Qin Huaidao looked at Xue Wanche, and he heard that his flesh was gone, leaving only skin and bones, his face was haggard, his eyes were sunken, but his eyes were particularly powerful, and he looked like a hungry wild wolf. Whoever dared to stop Xue Wanche from entering the city at this time would definitely fight to the death.
Looking at the soldiers around them, they all had wild eyes, wishing they could rush forward and kill them immediately.
But Qin Huaidao knew very well that everyone was at the end of their strength, and relying solely on willpower to support them, they might not be able to capture the city by fighting, but would only increase casualties. Looking at the city in front, there was already a loud siren, and countless people climbed onto the city wall, with bows and arrows drawn.
, and treat it seriously.
"Luowu!"
"arrive!"
Qin Huaidao pointed to the city in front and ordered: "At the artillery camp, open the city gate for me. Luo Ying, lead the army to rush in. Fight quickly and take no prisoners. The army urgently needs a meal and a good sleep as soon as possible. There is no time."
Too much control."
After all, the physical fitness of the special operations force is much better than that of other troops, and they still retain some combat effectiveness.
In an emergency, only the strongest special forces can be used.
Luo Ying also understood this truth, and his gaze towards the city suddenly became sharp. He agreed and immediately ran to organize the team. He would probably suffer losses in close combat, so Luo Ying decided to use a repeating crossbow to clear the way.
The army stopped advancing after approaching the city. Everyone stared fiercely ahead with murderous intent. After walking on the mountain road for so long, they looked like savages. They couldn't help but want to have a good meal. Anyone who dared to stop them would be torn into pieces.
fragments.
Luo Ying led the army forward to form an array, and Luo Wu personally directed the artillery battalion to advance.
A monstrous murderous intent erupted!
Balse River City is a mountain city located in the easternmost part of the Tocharian Kingdom. It is a border city of the Tocharian Kingdom. It was built on the Balese River. It has a small town of tens of thousands of people, but because of the border, 10,000 troops are stationed.
Seeing the large black army outside the city, especially the scary eyes, they seemed to be glowing green, or even like demons coming out of hell. Seeing people infiltrating the city, the soldiers guarding the city were confused - what was going on?
?
The general who defended the city was a captain of ten thousand men. When he saw the grenade launchers lined up in a row, he was full of doubts and couldn't understand what they were. However, he instinctively felt that it was terrible and could kill him in a minute. He suddenly became angry and roared.
Said: "Warriors, Allah, the Supreme, All-Knowing and Almighty, is watching us and is ready to fight."
The Tocharian Kingdom was known as Afghanistan in later generations, a quagmire of war that forced the two powerful countries to retreat. The people of this land have been warlike since ancient times and have a gene engraved in their bones.
“Allah bless you!”
The soldiers who defended the city drew their swords one after another, with wild eyes, as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood and become immortal.
The captain continued to roar: "Who are you? Why are you attacking my city on the Basel River? Aren't you afraid of the wrath of my Tocharian Kingdom? Allah will not forgive you!"
Luo Wu didn't understand what the shouting meant, but when he saw the posture, he said disdainfully: "They are quite crazy. Brothers, move quickly and teach them how to behave!"
"Preparations for Run No. 1 are complete!"
"Preparations for Run No. 2 are complete!"
"..."
The artillerymen reported one after another, and soon, all ten grenades were ready and aimed at the gate.
"fire--"
A roar kicked off the war against the Turks.
"Boom!"
The shells roared away one after another, drawing a parabola, and the screams tearing through the void made people's scalp numb.
The defenders on the city wall had never seen this kind of attack before, and they were all stunned.
The captain thought of a possibility and shouted: "It's a new catapult, just a small stone. Don't be afraid, Allah will protect us!"
"Boom boom boom!"
The captain Wan Fu answered with a series of shocking explosions that resounded throughout the world.
Dust was flying and fire was shooting into the sky.
The city was made of rammed earth, so how could it withstand the bombardment of artillery shells? The city gate was a wooden gate, which was blown away a long way when it exploded. When the smoke dissipated, the city gate collapsed, leaving a huge gap.
The collapsed earth walls piled up into a slope that people could rush up.
Seeing the fighter plane appear, Luo Ying drew his sword and pointed forward, shouting: "Suppression fire from the First Division of the Special Forces, shoot!"
The first division of the Special Forces, which had been prepared for a long time, rushed forward, fired their machine guns at the city, and fired the crossbow bolts, which were densely packed and enveloped the city like a gust of wind and rain.
The defenders on the city wall had never seen such a terrifying attack before, and a large number of them fell instantly. However, their faith and courage did not allow them to escape. They were cowardly and fired arrows to fight back, resulting in more deaths.
Soon, the defenders on the city were suppressed.
Seeing the opportunity coming, Luo Ying shouted: "Second and Third Divisions, charge with me!"
"Kill——" The soldiers of the two divisions drew their swords one after another, let out shocking roars, and rushed forward.
Suppressed by crossbow bolts, the defenders on the city wall were unable to counterattack. The attacking troops quickly rushed under the city wall, rushed up the collapsed slope, and entered the city.
The covering First Division was worried about accidentally injuring its own people, so it stopped shooting and rushed into the city.
"kill--"
The roar of the Tang people sounded for the first time in this land, but it shocked people's hearts.
