The tenth day of the sixth month.
After days of rain, the sky finally cleared.
Thousands of miles of clouds are harvested, the golden light is dazzling, and the undulating mountains and mountains are scorching hot.
The soldiers and horses of the Tang army and the cavalry of Xi Qi gathered under Lu Longsai, and there were many noble lords and horses under various banners.
The army set up camp.
The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Wei Chi Gong, ordered all armies to take up positions at the pass.
Lulongsai, the eastern section of the Yanshan Mountain Range.
For thousands of years, it has been a military fortress and a place where soldiers must fight.
It is bordered by Pingzhou in the south, Xijing in the north, and Yingzhou in Liaoxi in the east, which is the Xifengkou of later generations.
This is a dangerous pass and a border, so it has long been built by the mountain.
Three city walls form a Japanese-shaped defense system, the peripheral main city wall is five zhang high, three zhang wide, one hundred zhang long, made up of stones from the inside to the outside of the whole stack, the center erects one or two zhang high city tower, called Wangri Tower.
At both ends of the main city wall, auxiliary walls were built according to the mountain, and there was also a floor on each of the city walls.
Standing on the plum mountain is called the plum building, and the building on the cloud mountain is called the cloud building.
It starts with the auxiliary walls on both sides and extends further up the hill.
During the Han Dynasty, a city wall of about 200 li was first built to prevent the invasion of the Hu people.
Since then, successive generations have been repaired.
Up to now, one hundred steps back from the main city wall, between Meishan and Yunshan, a tall city tower has been built, and the height and width of the city wall are the same as the main city wall, fifty zhang long.
There is a city tower named Lulong, and the two sides are connected with the main city wall by stone walls, and the two sides are the soldiers' barracks on both sides.
Further back, a hundred paces away, is the Crescent Tower facing the official road.
The wall was four feet high and two feet wide, and was flanked by storehouses for grain and grass, as well as stables and hospitals for the wounded.
In the defense system built during the Zhenguan period, the castle was not emphasized by the Great Wall, but by the nine-sided defense system, and nine defensive castle clusters were set up.
Lulongsai is an important part of the Shanhaiguan defense cluster.
Although it is not as important as the danger of Shanhaiguan, it is also one of the most important fortresses in the eastern Yanshan Road.
At this time, this important military fortress was in the hands of Qin Qiong and Zhang Tiegun.
The former defender of Lu Longsai took the initiative to lead his troops to join Qin Qiong's protector army, and the prince was loud.
It was nearly noon, and the sun was getting hotter and hotter.
The coalition troops under the gate were covered in the sun and armor, and they were exhausted and covered with sweat.
Louronse.
Crescent upstairs.
Qin Qiong, Zhang Tiegun, and several generals such as Yu Chi Baolin looked at Guanxia.
"With such a poisonous sun, they can't withstand it, and they can't fight today."
Qin Qiong said.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the cavalry under the gate to start dismounting, and the soldiers also retreated to disarm and breathe, and even some soldiers brought buckets of water, and some people came up with baskets of steamed buns and flatbreads.
"Originally, this Lulongsai has been a fortress in the Central Plains to prevent the invasion of the Hu people since ancient times, but now, I can't imagine that it is the Tang Dynasty soldiers who come to attack with Xi Qi."
The old iron spear sighed.
"Fortunately, we took Lulongsai, and now we are backed by Yingzhou and occupy Lulong Fortress, but we are not afraid of them."
Shanhaiguan is still in the hands of the imperial court, Pingzhou is also in the hands of the imperial court, and even the place north of Lulongsai is also in the hands of the Xi people.
But for the coach Wei Chigong this time, Yingzhou or the Duke of Luoguo is not his main target, his main target is Lu Longsai.
The main forces of the rebels such as Qin Qiong and Zhang Tiegun were all at this pass, breaking through Lulongzhai and capturing Qin Qiong and Zhang Tiegun alive, and Yingzhou was naturally self-defeating.
"Fortunately, this Lulongsai is in the shape of a Japanese figure, otherwise this army will attack from the south, we will definitely be difficult to defend."
This special structure, the triple defense structure, made Qin Qiong and the others not very afraid of facing the coalition forces attacking from Pingzhou now.
The hungry soldiers saw the cold water and steamed buns, and gathered around to get food.
"Do they really want to storm it?"
asked Yu Chi Baolin.
He saw his father's handsome flag closed.

Unexpectedly, the father-son soldiers who went into battle have now become father-son battles.
His father wrote to scold him for being disloyal and unfilial, and Yu Chi Baolin was very sad, but he couldn't choose like Li Kang.
After following the teacher for many years, he has his own set of values and outlook on life.
The people are important, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light.
This world should not only be the world of the emperor alone, but the world of the people of the world.
"It's an opportunity."
"The officers and soldiers are tired and demoralized."
There were several officers who said.
Qin Qiong said very steadily, "Don't worry, the current city may not be a charming illusion, maybe it is a trick to lure the enemy."
Let's take a look at the play first. ” Close.
The coalition soldiers were eating in a mess, and the formation was completely empty.
After the army.
Wei Chigong took the clairvoyant mirror and looked at it, but there was no movement.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of the shutdown, it seems more and more quiet and scary.
This kind of silence made Wei Chigong frown.
"It seems that Uncle Bao will not be fooled."
This is a formidable opponent, and the two have also been colleagues for more than ten years, and he still knows Qin Qiong's skills very well.
"Forget it, step back, since you are not fooled, there is no need to bask in the sun again."
The order was given, and the coalition soldiers began to retreat one after another, retreating into the shade of the trees on the side of the mountain.
Many soldiers have been disarmoured and breathed, especially many Xi Qi cavalry, who directly took off only a big pants and sat under the tree panting.
They loved their horses, and even the saddles of their horses were lowered.
Wei Chigong returned to the camp tent of the Chinese army.
The generals of Xi Qi and a group of noble lords who led the troops also entered the account together.
"Luronse is not easy to attack."
Wei Chi Jingde said.
Lu Longseri, at this time, there are at least 20,000 rebels, and there are famous generals like Qin Qiong.
In Guanxia, the coalition army was less than 50,000 in total, including both government soldiers, militia from many aristocratic territories, and cavalry from the Xi and Qi clans, which were more miscellaneous.
It is more miscellaneous, which also means that the combat effectiveness will be reduced.
It is indeed worrying to storm a dangerous fortress like Lulongsai, which has abundant troops, sufficient food and grass, and is commanded by famous generals.
"Dashuai, it's better for us to bluff, secretly dispatch troops and horses from Shanhaiguan into Liaoxi, and go to Yingzhou and Zhang Tiegun's territory castle.
When the time comes, we will sandwich Luronse between the two sides, and the north and the south will attack together."
Jingde said, "It was feasible to divide the troops, but His Majesty only gave us half a month, and we didn't have so much time to take down Qin Qionghe and Zhang Tiegun within half a month." ” The generals are distressed.
"But such a dangerous fortress, half a month is enough."
Shut down over there.
The coalition soldiers, who had eaten and drunk enough and rested for a while, had a team of Khitan cavalry who had nothing to do, so they ran to the pass shirtless on a war horse and scolded at the gate.
There were also people who took off their pants and provoked the city.
"These Turtle Suns" Yu Chi Baolin said angrily, "Lao Tzu went to destroy them." ” On the city, there are many iron cannons.
Yu Chi Baolin came to an iron cannon and said to the gunner, "If you see those miscellaneous pieces, let me smash them." ” "General Wei Chi has a look, let's clean them up."
The gun commander said with a smile.
Those miscellaneous pieces are standing at a distance of 100 steps away from the pass, which is basically outside the range of bows and arrows, and ordinary crossbows can't shoot so far, and they can shoot so far, but the accuracy of single kills is insufficient.
Covering shooting is not cost-effective.
It's just that these Khitans have forgotten the artillery of the Tang Dynasty.
Qin Qiong They are rebels, but they also have artillery, and Dad's territory used to have a musket and artillery workshop, although it was closed and stopped, but now it is running again.
The gunners took various measuring tools and measured them for a while, and then adjusted the angle.
Finally, there is the complex loading.

It took a while for the aiming and reloading to finally be completed.
The gunner ignited.
The Khitan warriors under the gate are still playing.
Suddenly, there was a loud thunderclap.
There were still fireworks flashing away at the head of the city.
"Shelling" Wei Chigong, who was discussing in the tent, jumped up suddenly, the sound was definitely not the thunder of summer, this must be an artillery bombardment.
"What a bastard, who opened the cannon without permission" Wei Chigong scolded.
Iron bullets screeched into the city.
The cannonballs smashed into the open space a little in front of the Khitan warriors.
Then, the iron ball that smashed into the air actually bounced again, drew a large arc in the air, flew forward for a long time, and fell.
This time, it happened to fall on an unlucky Khitan warrior, and he directly threw half of his body off the horse and smashed him to his stomach.
The meritorious cannonball bounced again, this time not as high as the last time, but it still bounced high and smashed forward.
Death next to each other, death by touch, and even breaking a leg on the last roll.
Wails and screams rang out.
There was a cheer from the top of the city, followed by the sound of a trumpet.
Crescent downstairs.
Yu Chi Baolin was already riding on a horse with armor on, holding a long-bladed Mo knife in her hand.
The crescent moon door slammed open.
Yu Chi Baolin led about 300 cavalry dressed in knight's full armor to slaughter fiercely, navy blue plate armor, blue cloak, and the blue tassel on the top of the helmet.
People are like tigers, horses are like dragons.
Three hundred iron horsemen galloped out like lightning.
The rumbling sound of iron hooves was loud.
The coalition soldiers, who were only a few hundred steps away from Guancheng, were still resting, and they even took off their armor early because of the heat, and unsaddled their horses.
No one could have imagined that the rebels would dare to take the initiative to go out of the city to fight.
The coalition soldiers went to put on their armor in a panic, and the cavalry went to lead the horses.
In the twinkling of an eye.
Yu Chi Baolin and three hundred iron horsemen have already killed the front.
The huge Mo knife slashed down, dazzling as snow.
The iron cavalry was like a torrent, so unstoppable that they even directly collided with the soldiers who tried to intercept them in formation.
The hastily assembled military formation was vulnerable.
Directly broken by the iron horse.
Out of the array.
Then the three hundred horsemen slowed down, stopped, and reversed course.
Yu Chi Baolin waved the blood-stained Mo knife and led the three hundred horsemen to start and charge again No one can stop you.
Wei Chigong, who came from behind, recognized at a glance that the person who took the lead in the charge was his eldest son Pauline.
"Let them go" Wei Chigong drank that he was going to lead the cavalry to pursue the intercepting general.
"It's a heavily armed iron rider, and no one can stop them."
The Heavy Iron Riders are not invincible, but in this situation, they are just coming to charge and kill one back and forth, they are leaving, and there is really no one to stop them.
The soldiers who tried to intercept were knocked into the air, cut down, and then they managed to go back.
Upstairs on the crescent moon, the war drums rumbled, and bursts of neat cheers broke through the clouds.
Yu Chi Baolin led his subordinates, slowed down, and returned to the city.
Lu Long plugged up, and his morale was like a macro.
At the end of the pass, the coalition forces were silent. t1706231537:
