Several large ships that rushed down from the upstream crashed into the Fuhemu City of the Tang army.

The wooden boat and the Tang army floating in the river, exploded instantly, and the rumbling sound resounded all over the world, as if thunder was thunder in my ears.

Not only the Tang army in the river, but also the Zhao army watching from a distance were shocked. The explosion and cracking momentum were simply earth-shaking. The Tang army on Fuhe Wood City was almost instantly bombed into the sky, and its limbs and wood chips flew together, and then fell into the river.

The black oil mixed with the yellow turbid current burned everything that could burn, and many soldiers of the Tang army were trapped in the sea of ​​fire.

Seeing all the floating cities on the five rivers being burned, the soldiers of the Zhao army warships on the river were all cheering, raising the swords, guns and spears in their hands to cheer together.

The Zhao army's five-toothed ship stood two miles east of Zhongtan City. He Chou, the Minister of Works, stood on the deck of Cheng Mingzhen's flagship and watched the scene, and just nodded lightly. In his eyes, the tactics designed by him seemed to be somewhat immature.

However, as the main general of the fleet, Cheng Mingzhen was full of joy. If He Chou did not have the tactic of He Chou, the Zhao army would have to pay at least a dozen warships and at least five hundred soldiers to burn the floating city in the river. At present, it was only the price of the sinking of seven warships, and no casualties had been found.

Cheng Mingzhen and He Chou said: "I didn't expect that this turbulent bomb would have such great power."

He Chou looked back at Cheng Mingzhen and said coldly: "General Cheng, I... I have said so many times. This is not a sulphur bomb. The oil barrel in the ship is just an important material for carrying a sulphur bomb. The black oil burns when it encounters fire and the water cannot be extinguished. Moreover, I found that if the seal encounters fire, it is very easy to explode. Therefore, it is used in water wars, which is not a great deal."

Cheng Mingzhen knew that He Chou was an extremely serious person. He especially liked to point out words with others, and he often stuttered when speaking. Whether in the officialdom of the Sui Dynasty or the Great Zhao Dynasty, he was considered a very personal official.

Cheng Mingzhen pointed to the burning oil on the floating river and asked, "How come this black oil is so much more powerful than ordinary oil. Not only does it look very sticky, but it also has a pungent smell. What is it? Why have I never seen it before?"

"There are not many black oils in the Central Plains. They are produced in the Western Regions. They are very common there. They are found in the fields. The locals use them instead of firewood and cook. It was because His Majesty had the foresight that he used this item as a weapon and developed it as a sulphur bomb. He defeated Dou Jiande's Xia army on the banks of the Yishui River."

The soldiers beside Cheng Mingzhen asked curiously after hearing this, "Then can this black oil be eaten?"

He Chou showed a very contemptuous expression when he heard this, saying, "You want to eat black oil. Are you crazy? Eating this thing will make your internal organs look like fire, and you will die in just one day."

The soldier was startled and stopped talking.

Everyone's eyes returned to the river. Now the Tang army's floating city was trapped in a sea of ​​fire, and even the floating bridge was burning together. It can be imagined that in this battle, the Tang army not only destroyed the floating bridge, but also suffered extremely bad morale.

Cheng Mingzhen said: "The morale of the soldiers of the Tang army has declined, and I am about to take this opportunity to make a concerted effort."

Cheng Mingzhen ordered the Zhao army fleet to attack Zhongtan City, Hezhong. He wanted to take advantage of the momentum to pull out the city. However, Zhongtan City was guarded by Huang Junhan, the general of the Tang army, and the resistance was very fierce. He Chou used black oil to burn the city again, but this time it did not have much effect.

The two armies fought fiercely until dark, and the Tang army suffered heavy casualties in Zhongtan City, but in the end they still defended the city. Although the Zhao army prevented the Tang army from crossing the river in this battle, they did not achieve their full achievements. The two armies fell into a confrontation on the Yellow River again.

The grassland north of Huangshui always looks so vast, with soft meadows spreading far to the end of sight. For herders, this is the closest place to Tengger, the sky is so blue, and the dome is above the head, as if you can hold the floating white clouds with your hands stretched out.

The grassland goshawks, the king in the east, the little Turkic Khan Turi's khan is on this grassland. The khan garden is full of cattle and sheep on all sides, and the herdsmen sang Turkic songs, and the songs drifted far away.

The sound of horse hooves rolled in the south of the grassland, and a group of horse riders wearing merchants came here. It turned out that the guests from Laizi Zhao State visited Tuli's Khan Court today. Among the riders, there was a Turkic rider. He saw him move the Turkic soldiers in charge of guarding retreat and open.

On the way to Tuli's golden tent, several Turkic people in front of a tent were slaughtering a black-haired cow. But when a Turkic man was pulling the cow's neck with a rope, another Turkic boy, who was only 11 or 2 years old, rushed forward with a knife with a forearm and stabbed it into Jianniu's neck. Jianniu screamed and fell to the ground, while the child grabbed the cow's horns, pressed the cow's head to the ground, and placed the blood from his neck into a small bucket beside him.

This is just an ordinary scene on the grassland. The child seemed very happy in his expression, but when he saw this scene, the Han people showed a look of shock. Such a big boy dared to kill a strong cow.

Just at this moment, the sound of horse hooves in the distance was remembered. Tuli Khan, wearing military uniform, actually rode a horse to personally welcome the guests from Zhao. As soon as he met, he spread his hands and smiled with the unique enthusiasm of the grassland people: "Welcome you, my guests from afar!"

Tuli said the unpretentious middle-aged man among the group.

But when the man came forward and hugged Tuli, he said with a smile: "Tuli Khan, you're fine."

Tuli smiled and patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Guo Duhu is fat. It seems that the cattle and sheep on the grassland are very good to your taste."

The man smiled and said, "Khan laughed. We Han people are still used to living in Senei. The wind and sand outside the Continent are too strong, and it will be even worse in winter. I still hope to finish your majesty's errand as soon as possible, return to Youjing, and not suffer the cold here."

This person is Guo Xiaoke, the majority guardian of the Songmo Protectorate of Zhao State. Now he is leading the army of 20,000 Songmo Protectorate to station not far from Tuli Khan Court.

Tuli laughed at the ear, but it was really hard to judge for a person as cunning and deep as Tuli, and he believed Guo Xiaoke's words.

"Come and follow me to make a note!"

The wolf-headed star flew high in front of Tuli's golden tent. Tuli was in his golden tent, and he was entertaining Guo Xiaoke and the others with a feast.

The food on the grassland is served in front of everyone. The Turks are extremely generous in treating guests, and Tuli is even more stingy as the master. However, as the master, the Turks are not as heroic as they imagine. As the host, there are still many rules to be followed. Otherwise, if something is wrong, those hospitality Turks will immediately change their faces and draw their swords to fight with you.

But now the two sides are obviously very harmonious. Tuli has already started to feast on him. He held a sharp knife and cut a bloody sheep intestine.

After cutting a large part, Tuli stuffed it into her mouth without caring about the heat on the intestines of the sheep. Tuli just took a few bites and swallowed it in a large mouthful. After showing a satisfied expression on her face, she said to Guo Xiaoke beside her: "General Guo, come and taste the intestines of my cook. This is the first-class delicacy on the grassland."

Guo Xiaoke smiled and just took the goat milk tea, took a reserved sip and said, "Thank you, Khan, but I'm still not used to the smell of mutton in the goat's intestines."

If someone else dared to refuse Tuli's kindness, Tuli would inevitably be furious. But Guo Xiaoke is obviously an equal guest now. His words made Tuli laugh out loud.

Tuli held the bloody knife and said, "General Guo, you really don't have any good fortune. This is a completely less delicious food than half of the world."

Guo Xiaoke cut a piece of mutton and put it in his mouth and said, "Khan laughed."

Tuli laughed, wiped his hands with a scarf, and said, "General Guo, is the war between Your Majesty the South going smoothly?"

Guo Xiaoke said: "It's okay, I heard that Jiangdu was captured not long ago. In another month or two, you should be able to return to Youjing triumphantly."

The Turks on both sides showed a look of marvel. The Turks present obviously heard about where the river was.

Tuli said: "Your Majesty, when I first met, I knew that he was not a thing under the pond. It seems that it would be a matter of time before the Great Zhao defeated Li Tang and unify the Central Plains. And we Turks like to be permanent friends with such a powerful and powerful man. Come and I wish you a cup of wine, and hope that our friendship will never change."

Guo Xiaoke also raised his glass and said, "Turi Khan has been close to His Majesty for a long time. Although he had lost peace before, His Majesty also knew that it was Khan because he had no choice."

Tuli nodded and said, "The last time we fought, it was because of the order of Chuluo Khan, and Ben Khan had no choice. Fortunately, the wolf king on the grassland of Chuluo has not been able to live for a few days now. But for the long-term peace between us Turks and Da Zhao, I hope Da Zhao can support me and help me seize the throne of the Turks."

Hearing Tuli say this, the Turks and the Han envoys who were with Guo Xiaoke stopped eating and focused their eyes on Guo Xiaoke.

Guo Xiaoke was still very calm and put down the knife in his hand and said lightly: "Dignity Tuli Khan, our Da Zhao is very helpful to you, but Khan, you must show your sincerity."

Tuli Khan said seriously: "I, Shinashbob, are willing to swear to Tengri that I will never let go of Da Zhao. If one day I will kill me under Ranma."

Guo Xiaoke looked at Tuli and said, "Khan, I am a person who values ​​​​Practicality. I swear that this thing is like sand in the desert and will dissipate with the wind. I want Khan's sincerity not just these."

Tuli Khan said, "I can let all my three sons go to Youjing. King Zhao should be relieved."
