Chapter 369: A Thousand Miles Rush (3)


The Ulema is indeed a peerless BMW.

It rushed up to the Kunlun Mountain Pass in one breath and rushed into the defensive formation of the Tibetan army like lightning.

The leading Tibetan general of 500 was stabbed to death by Zhao Ziliang before he had time to react.

Zhao Ziliang rode on He charged into the Tibetan army with his ulema horse like a lion charging into a flock of sheep.

There are very few generals in the world who are enemies of Zhao Ziliang, not to mention these Tibetan soldiers and crab generals, who were killed by Zhao Ziliang like chickens and dogs.

In the blink of an eye, nearly 200 people were killed or injured, and the horses behind him were waiting for him.

When Lin led the soldiers of the Tang army to charge forward, more than half of the more than 300 Tibetan soldiers had been killed by Zhao Ziliang.

Everyone worked together and quickly killed all the Tibetan soldiers at the mountain pass.

Several Tibetan soldiers who were frightened by the gall of pain immediately turned around and ran south down the mountain pass.

Zhao Ziliang took out the precious eagle bow and set up three at a time.

Arrows, "swish, swish", three arrows were fired in unison, and the three escaping Tibetan soldiers were hit by arrows in the back and rolled down the hillside together.

Zhao Ziliang put away his precious eagle bow and told Ma Lin: "Send a few people down to find the body.

You have to see the body and confirm that it is dead.

If the news of our sudden capture of Kunlun Pass is known to the Tubo people in a short time, The Tubo people will definitely react quickly, which will be detrimental to our next step in attacking the Tanggula Pass."

Ma Lin clasped her fists and said, "I will eventually understand."

Next, Zhao Ziliang arranged for soldiers to clean up the corpses of the Tibetan troops and his own corpses.

Zhao Ziliang took advantage of this raid on Kunlun Pass.

He used the costumes and flags of the Tubo people to deceive the Tibetan troops stationed here, and waited until the distance between the two sides was sufficient.

A sudden attack was launched recently, and the Tubo army was not prepared for the arrival of the Tang army.

I never thought that first of all, I was not vigilant, and I did not respond well after discovering that it was the Tang Army.

In addition, Zhao Ziliang, a powerful general like Zhao Ziliang, personally took the lead, and ordinary soldiers could not stop him.

All these factors combined, and he was stationed here.

The three hundred Tubo troops were quickly wiped out, while only a few Tang troops were killed.

After cleaning the battlefield, Zhao Ziliang arranged for some soldiers to bring up the horses from the mountain, and at the same time arranged for the cooks to light a fire to cook.

On this mountain pass with an altitude of more than 4,700 meters, it was difficult to boil water and cook food.

A very difficult thing.

Fortunately, Zhao Ziliang's finger space prepared a large amount of food, grass and ordnance materials for this thousands-mile attack.

The highland barley flour, flour, and rice flour were all fried before coming.

Just add hot water and stir evenly.

It’s ready to eat.

The cooks searched around the mountain pass but couldn't find much firewood.

Zhao Ziliang saw that there were animal bones everywhere on the ground and he pointed at the bones on the ground and said, "Collect all these bones.

They can be used."

Used as firewood" There is a lot of phosphorus in the bones of animal bones.

After the bones are withered, they can be easily ignited.

The cooks followed Zhao Ziliang's instructions and quickly lit the fire.

Those dried animal bones were very easy to burn and had great firepower.

The pots of snow water melted and heated up quickly, but they didn’t even burn.

Of course, Zhao Ziliang knew that this was because the atmospheric pressure was too low, so he asked the soldiers to stir the fried highland barley powder and flour with hot water, stir it into a paste, and then eat it.

The taste was indeed not very good, but fortunately Zhao Ziliang also brought a large amount of it.

The sauce, mixed in the paste, tastes okay.

Zhao Ziliang ordered several of the yaks raised by the Tibetan army to be slaughtered at the mountain pass.

The meat was picked out and roasted on the fire for the soldiers to beat their teeth as a sacrifice.

More than 2,000 people and a large number of war horses and livestock gathered at the mountain pass.

The scene was very lively.

After this period of long journey and adaptation, the soldiers have adapted to life on the plateau with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters.

The soldiers who develop plateau pronunciation have also become more and more popular.

There are fewer and fewer people coming, and after this battle, almost everyone has never had altitude sickness again.

This is undoubtedly good news and a good sign for Zhao Ziliang and his soldiers.

Except for the guard post, the soldiers all gathered together to eat.

Zhao Ziliang also chatted with the soldiers while eating, telling jokes and dirty jokes.

This made the soldiers feel that Zhao Ziliang also had an approachable side under his majestic appearance.

At the end of the meal, Zhao Ziliang said: "After finishing this meal, most of the soldiers will follow my general to continue southward to Tanggula Pass, and three hundred people must be left to garrison here."

Having said this, Zhao Ziliang looked among the sitting officers, pointed at Zhang Tie, the colonel of the first regiment of the first battalion, and said: "Colonel Zhang Tie, you take your regiment to stay and wait for the follow-up troops.

Before they arrive, Start building fortifications.

The fortifications here are too crude.

Only after they garrison here can you follow us.

Is there any problem?"

When Zhang Tie heard that Zhao Ziliang asked him to lead the team to stay, his face suddenly showed some reluctance.

However, Zhao Ziliang's words were obviously not a discussion, but an order.

All the generals and generals in the army knew Zhao Ziliang's temper.

Although he was a little reluctant, he Still promised to carry out military orders: "Subordinates obey orders."

Zhao Ziliang pointed to Zhang Tie on the left and right sides of the mountain pass and said: "Build an archery tower on each side.

Each archery tower should be able to station more than fifty people.

It should be divided into upper and lower floors.

The ground floor is for sleeping and resting, and the upper floor is for defense.

There are two archery towers.

A fence should be built between them to stop the horses, and a large number of stones, stones and rolling logs should be prepared around them.

The mountain pass construction tax was levied on the merchants passing by here.

After the merchants paid the tax, the soldiers could open the fence and block the horses to let them pass.

If conditions allowed, an arched city gate could be built between the two archery towers, with the words " The houses on the other side of Kunlun Mountain Pass will be renovated, and from now on this place will be called Kunlun Mountain Pass."

"My subordinates understand" After eating, Zhang Tie and his first regiment stayed behind.

They were going to build the archery tower and the pass city wall here while waiting for the follow-up infantry to arrive.

Zhao Ziliang took out enough food and supplies from the finger space and took the other two.

More than a thousand cavalrymen walked down the Kunlun Pass and continued southward, and the next stop was the Tanggula Pass.

The army formed a neat formation on the Kunlun Mountain Pass.

Zhao Ziliang rode a wuli horse at the front of the team.

Looking from the mountain pass, the vast Kunlun stretched east and west, with thousands of miles of ice and snow, like a jade dragon lying on its side.

"Ma Lin, send the reconnaissance cavalry forward twenty miles to explore the enemy's situation and terrain, and the whole army will set off."

Zhao Ziliang shouted, waving his arms, clamping the horse's belly with his legs, and the Ulima trotted down the mountain.

The team behind it Following closely, a group of reconnaissance cavalry quickly passed by the army and ran towards the mountain at an extremely fast speed.

Not long after, the scout came to report: "General, a hot spring water was found at the foot of the mountain ahead.

The spring water is cold, sweet and transparent."

“Oh go check it out” Zhao Ziliang ordered the army to move forward and asked the sentry to lead the way to the hot spring.

There were two springs, one large and one small.

The spring water spurted out from the pool, forming a mushroom shape, throwing countless jasper-like petals around, like a spring.

A blooming lotus falls into a clear pool like silent jade pieces, and then rushes towards the surging Kunlun River.

Zhao Ziliang took out the map and compared it.

Isn't this the ice-free spring of later generations?

He put away the map and said to the sentry: "You go first, this general will follow soon."

"promise"

After the scout left, Zhao Ziliang squatted by the hot spring and stretched out his hand to test the water temperature.

It was about 20 degrees.

He held a little spring water in his hand and drank it.

As expected, it was cold and better than nectar.

Zhao Ziliang immediately took out a bucket from the finger space, filled one bucket with water, and filled up five hundred buckets of spring water.

After filling all the buckets, he got on his horse and chased the team.

After the army passed Wudaoliang, Zhao Ziliang felt relieved.

Generally speaking, Wudaoliang is the place where altitude sickness is most likely to occur.

If you can survive here, the rest of the way will be easy, and you no longer need to be careful.

Altitude sickness may occur.

It is about 900 miles from Kunlun Pass to Tanggula Pass.

The Fenghuo Crater of Fenghuoshan is in the middle of this route, with an altitude of nearly 5,000 meters.

The roads and rocks in the entire pass are reddish-brown, like being covered by The fire burned mercilessly countless times.

On the Fenghuo Crater, the cold wind was very strong.

The fiery red cloak on Zhao Ziliang's shoulders and the flags held by the flag bearers were blown by the cold wind.

Many soldiers' faces were blown open.

The army had just arrived.

At the mountain pass, Zhao Ziliang and the soldiers heard continuous thunder in the sky.

Zhao Ziliang reined in his horse and stopped, gasping for breath and asked: "Where is this place?"

The guide said: "It is windy and thunderous all year round, so it is called Fenghuo Crater."

After observing for a while, Zhao Ziliang felt that he was out of breath here.

It must be because the oxygen content was extremely low.

When he turned around, he saw that most of the soldiers' faces were pale and their complexion was very poor.

So he said to Ma Lin: "This plateau is indeed a restricted area for life.

Even this general feels a little out of breath.

Send the order, speed up, and get down the mountain as soon as possible."

"promise" After the order was issued, the army did not stop any longer and went directly from the mountain pass to the south, leaving only the sound of a large number of horse hooves echoing in the mountains.

On this plateau, the average altitude reaches more than 4,500 meters.

The climate of the plateau sky changes rapidly.

Sometimes the sky is clear blue, and sometimes it is covered with dark clouds.

Walking through this uninhabited land in Hoh Xil, you can see large tracts of Tibetan areas everywhere.

The antelope can only run.

Ma Lin saw a large number of Tibetan antelopes that were frightened by the marching army and fled in all directions.

He shouted excitedly: "General, look, shoot some and give them teeth as a sacrifice to the soldiers."

Zhao Ziliang looked at the large group of Tibetan antelopes and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

However, when he thought that he was running thousands of miles and seizing the time was the primary purpose of some actions, he immediately shook his head and said: "Stop talking nonsense, it's important to be on the road, we need to be fast.

Faster, we captured the Tanggula Mountain Pass before the Tubo people could react.

We sent the order to go down, and everyone changed their horses and moved forward at full speed."

"Nuo" Ma Lin looked serious and immediately agreed: "I will obey":
