Chapter 40: Swords to destroy ghosts and gods
The dozen Tubo warriors around Mangbuzhi seemed to have also been hit by a sword.
In the past battles, Mumbuzhi's power has been imprinted in the depths of their souls like the whispers of their ancestors. Even if the legendary devils are resurrected, they think Mumbuzhi can fight them for hundreds of rounds.
They could not accept this fact at all, but when they looked towards the lane where the other party retreated, they could not even have the idea of chasing them.
There were two naked figures in the smoke flashing and disappearing.
Two Chang'an officials with green eyes and bare hands... These things gradually gathered into huge shadows, pressing against them like mountains.
Li Xizhi was covered in cold sweat.
He was even more nervous than Pei Yunqiu, who had taken risks in person.
He offered prisoners in front of the formation and took the second lady of the Pei family to fish. He didn't dare to think about such a thing.
Pei Yunqi, who ran back, was not afraid at all.
What are you afraid of? According to Gu Shiwu's plan, there are still a lot of war horses waiting for these Tubo people.
If those Tubo people chased after him, a group of war horses that had been blocked in the alley before would soon block their way.
"Li Xizhi, have you seen it? The Tubo dog general we killed seems to be a general."
Looking at Pei Yunqi with an excited face, Li Xizhi swallowed with difficulty, "This person may be the commander of the Tubo vanguard army... Mangbuzhi."
Mumbozhi?
Pei Yun's forehead sounded again.
She didn't have time to think and subconsciously said, "How did you see it?"
Li Xizhi smiled bitterly and said, "The blue feathers on his hat are all of this color. The Tubo people say that this was stained with the devil's blue blood after he slaughtered the devil's ancestral mountain."
"Really?" Pei Yun turned his head in disbelief and looked at Gu Liubai.
"That's pure nonsense." Gu Liubai said.
Pei Yunqi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was Li Xizhi who read the wrong thing. Mangbuzhi was the culprit who caused the Tang army to suffer several defeats. He was one of the giants in Tubo, such a person...
But before she could finish her thoughts, she heard Gu Liubai continue to say: "The feathers on Mangbuzhi's head are ground with indigo stones. These Tubo people always like to use something like gods and ghosts to scare people."
"No." Pei Yun looked at Gu Liubai blankly with contempt, "You said nonsense, isn't Li Xizhi's nonsense, is it that this Haw Ling is nonsense, we killed it, is it really Mangbuzhi?"
Gu Liubai nodded.
In fact, he didn't expect that he was so lucky.
He can also speak Tubo, and only in such chaos can he try this kind of trick of prisoners in front of the formation. As for who can be killed, it just depends on who happens to hit him at this time.
Who would have thought that at this point, he happened to run into the vanguard general Mangbuzhi who came to supervise the battle in person?
This is really lucky.
The situation has improved.
...
Rukun, Chisang and several famous Tubo generals also arrived outside the east gate of Heishawa at this time.
Whether it was them or the supreme commander of this Tubo army, Zanzhuo, who had stopped in the wilderness outside the city, found that the situation was very wrong at this time.
A small black shawar had at least five or six thousand Tubo warriors poured in, but now this kind of advancement seems to be a little unstoppable.
The crazy fat man in the west was not solved.
Qiu Bu, who had always been invincible on the battlefield, died under the fat man's knife.
At this moment, a storm vortex appeared in the city that they could not understand. It seemed that something was wrong that was affecting the vanguard army of Mumbuzi, causing them to fall into a quagmire and unable to move.
Just as they were about to send a few practitioners to find Mangbuzhi to ask what happened, Rukun and Chizan felt like a surging tide suddenly appeared in front of them.
There are many sounds coming like waves.
"General Mumbuzi is dead!"
"Mumbuzi was assassinated!"
Mumbuzi died?
Rukun and Chizan couldn't believe their ears.
Anyone who jokes at this time will definitely be cut into seventeen or eighteen paragraphs.
However, this is no joke. The surging aura that gathers fear, shock and incomprehension has been photographed on their faces.
They widened their eyes and looked at the smoke surging in the city ahead. A huge monster suddenly appeared inside, and they opened their mouths and were waiting to swallow them as well.
...
These Tubo chickens!
Pei Yunqi spitted in the direction where Mangbuzhi's body was.
Blood splattered into her mouth.
She followed Gu Liubai and felt very relaxed.
It doesn't feel like it's stuck in a city controlled by the enemy, but it's like playing hide-and-seek with a group of people.
But when she arrived not far outside the granary, she discovered that this place was a different world.
The main road outside the granary was full of corpses.
Blood and corpses spread deep into the granary.
The bloody smell even completely diluted the pungent smell of smoke. Every few steps, the soles of the feet were stuck by broken organs.
Chen Tu, who was still in the costume of a scholar, appeared like a ghost.
Gu Liubai saw at a glance that Chen Tu had already been hung up.
His left arm and abdomen were bandaged, with blood vaguely visible.
"You killed a general?" Chen Tu asked directly before Gu Liubai could speak.
"Mangbuzhi, the general of the Tubo Pioneer Army, happened to be killed by us. These vanguard troops will be in chaos. How about you be injured?" Gu Liubai said quickly.
"I was shot and cut into a hole, so it doesn't hinder."
Chen Tu pointed to the south with a serious expression, "We are going to retreat to that place immediately. If you didn't happen to kill that general, you would be unable to defend this place."
"Where is that?" Gu Liubai asked.
According to his idea, the people in Yinshan were rushing to the west. He would rather put half a city to these Tubo people first, than to ensure that the west could have the advantage and take the initiative.
"There are warehouses that are bigger than this, especially many warehouses that have been cleared out before, and there is a lot of space. I can find a way to kill another group of these Tubo people." Chen Tu also said quickly.
Gu Liubai nodded: "Okay, we must retreat to the west as soon as possible. These Tubo people underestimated the enemy before, so they would only adopt the tactic of rushing forward, so attacking this granary is also direct, but they will definitely be different next. As long as the first Tubo people die at your place, they will definitely surround you."
Chen Tu also nodded, "I know."
Gu Liubai said, "Who is playing these war horses?"
"Xu Qi."
"We cannot easily kill the war horses. These Tubo people seem to have some concerns. If the war horses die in large numbers, they will lose their concerns and we will not last long. How is the casualties?"
"There are three old brothers left on Xu Tuibei, and eight or nine of them left on the border army. There are more than 30 dead in total." Chen Tu said: "In our group, except for me and Du Haha, the rest of them are not killed. Du Haha is not seriously injured, but he is a little exhausted and needs to rest for a while."
Li Xizhi was in a state of coldness and numbness at this time.
He had quickly checked the situation around the granary.
Within a few miles, there were at least 700 Tubo corpses.
The Tang army around the entire granary, except for the people who were rushing around Yinshan, had less than fifty people in total.
More than 700 people died in Tubo, but only more than 30 people died on their own.
If such a record appears in military information, he will definitely not believe it.
The remaining living people in the granary were already moving towards the warehouse to the south according to Chen Tu's dispatch.
Pei Yunqiu, who was in the dense corpse, bowed extremely solemnly to an old army passing by, and then asked softly: "What did you do?"
"The scholar first asked us to get some tripping rope and dig some tripping pits, and spread all the beans in the granary. The cavalry dismounted and rushed in and fell down. We stabbed them with long bamboo poles with gun tips behind the carriage." The old army was a little weak and was slapped while walking, but there was indescribable pride in their tone. "They couldn't even get our side, and they stabbed each other accurately. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many Tubo dogs, and the arrows could be shot randomly regardless of whether they could see them or not, we wouldn't have died."
"Where did such a long bamboo pole come from?"
"There were many people in the granary that used to drive sparrows in the granary, all with gun heads tied. The scholar was powerful and was also powerful with a knife to chop people. The swordsman named Du, who could not fall and rush in, was killed by him. Many of these Tubo dogs were still wearing inner armor." The old army, who didn't know Chen Tu's name, looked at Chen Tu's figure with great admiration. Even though his hands and feet were weak, he felt that he could kill more Tubo dogs with this person.
The excited expression on Pei Yunlu's face had completely dissipated.
She has been familiar with military books since she was a child, but she only uses local materials. She could not imagine that she could only guard the granary by these people.
Gu Liubai was frowning at this time thinking about how to make the Tubo people even more suspicious, but when Chen Tu turned around and left, he thought of something and asked subconsciously: "What are you going to do if the warehouse camp that is bigger than this has been cleared out before?"
An old army who survived responded directly: "I said before that there were a lot of medicinal materials to be transported, but for some reason I haven't delivered it."
"So many medicinal materials?" Gu Liubai was stunned.
Pei Yunqi walked over quickly: "Xie Wan prepared a large number of medicinal materials for preventing and treating black eye diseases in advance. They should be sent to Heishawa. I originally thought that he wanted to prevent the spread of the epidemic, and people who left the city would drink medicine soup."
Gu Liubai frowned and said nothing for a moment.
Pei Yunqiu said in a cold voice: "Is it possible to confuse the public by transporting medicinal materials?"
"Even if these war horses are in the way, the Tubo people do not want to hurt these war horses, but these war horses cannot be taken away because in this extremely cold weather, the Tubo people do not have the ability to provide food and grass along the way. If they forcibly drive away these war horses for a long journey, the war horses will all die in a few days." Gu Liubai narrowed his eyes and quickly left the granary and said to Pei Yunqi: "So assuming these war horses were military merits left by the Tubo people to Xie Wan, Xie Wan would provide enough exchanges. The Tubo people will definitely take the opportunity to ask what they need most, so if they are just medicinal materials, those things may not be medicinal materials for the treatment of black eye diseases. If it is not just medicinal materials, then what is entrained in must be something that the Tubo people are difficult to obtain."
Pei Yunqi gritted his teeth and said, "What do the Tubo people lack the most?"
"The Tubo people lack a lot of things, and it doesn't make sense to guess what it is now." Gu Liubai said: "The only useful thing now is to determine where this batch of things was delivered. Where is now, the most important thing."
