"Are you crazy, Xue Rengui, do you know that this is Tubo, not the Tang Dynasty? Just because of you few people, you dare to try to damage someone's eyes, not to mention whether you can enter or not, it will be considered damaged. This place is so close to these cities, the defenders of Tubo will definitely catch up immediately, and everyone will die when the time comes..."
Xue Rengui shook his head: "Even if I wait to die, I will not hesitate. Now, the 20 Tubo army has arrived in Shanzhou, and the war is inevitable. Once the Tubo army does not retreat, the people in Shanzhou and Lanzhou will die. If I If you can save the lives of countless people, even if you die here, you will have nothing to fear..."
"Yes, Da Lang is right!"
"I'm not afraid of death!"
Changsun Chong's face changed greatly and he said: "No, no, you are not afraid of death, I don't want to die, I want to go home...I want to go back to Chang'an, don't let anyone stop me..."
As he spoke, he wrapped his animal fur coat tightly around his body and rushed out.
Xue Rengui stepped forward suddenly and punched him in the back.
Chang Sun Chong fell limply to the ground.
Xue Rengui ordered: "Let's go tonight and find someone to look after Chang Sun Chong."
"Yes!"
……
It was dark.
Xue Rengui and others have already put away all the tents.
The convoy headed southward slowly.
In the middle of the night, Xue Rengui's convoy came to a mountain depression.
All the horses wore muzzles, and their hooves were wrapped in sackcloth. No one used torches, and they walked entirely by the dim moonlight.
At the col, Erniu came to Xue Rengui, pointed to a tall hill in front of him and said, "Dalang, if you climb over this mountain, you will find the salt well of the Tubo people at the bottom of the mountain."
Xue Rengui waved his hand, called all the brothers over, and said: "Brothers, the Tubo people's salt well is in front of it, but it is heavily guarded, and it is very difficult to get in. The only way we can get in is from the mountain in front. Going down the cliff... This is a near-death experience, but I can't tell the result. Anyone who doesn't want to stay here just to watch over Sun Chong. If we don't come back, those who stay will go back immediately... Don't stay."
"I'm not afraid of death!"
"We are not afraid!"
"Dalang, back then we learned martial arts and art of war with our master, so that we would be able to stand out in the future one day. Now, such a good opportunity is in front of us, how can we let it go?"
"Correct!"
Xue Rengui glanced around, and finally fixed his eyes on the warriors selected by Chen Chu.
Several warriors shook their heads and said: "Xue Dalang, just tell me what to do. We are all from Lu Guogong's mansion. When we fought with Lu Guogong in the south and north, we were never afraid of death."
Xue Rengui nodded.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, all of you will go up with me, tie up Chang Sun Chong, and stuff him into the carriage, so as not to freeze him to death."
"set off!"
More than a dozen people, wearing black bunt clothes and carrying backpacks, rushed towards the mountain not far away.
This mountain is also guarded by Tubo soldiers, but compared to other directions, it is much less.
The crowd quickly bypassed the guarding soldiers and came to the bottom of the mountain.
This place is a cliff with a height of tens of feet, if you accidentally fall, you will be smashed to pieces on the spot.
Standing on the edge of the cliff and looking down, the lights below are brightly lit, and people are coming and going, which is very lively.
Below is the salt well of the Tubo people.
Xue Rengui said in a low voice: "Half of the people stay on top, and the rest follow me down."
Everyone opened the backpacks on their backs, took out bundles of ropes, tied one end of the ropes to the surrounding stones, and put the other end under the cliff.
Afterwards, Xue Rengui took the lead and slowly slid down the rope.
……
After a moment.
Xue Rengui and five men have already entered Yanjing's territory.
It turned out that the salt well was tight on the outside and loose on the inside, and the surroundings were heavily guarded, but in the middle of the salt well, there were not many defenders, only a large number of people working.
A man stepped forward, gave a piss, and said, "Dalang, these damned guys make people work day and night, and these people who go down to dig the salt mines are their slaves, and they can't even eat." It's full, and it makes people work..."
Xue Rengui thought for a while and said, "If we blow up the salt well now, I'm afraid many people will die inside, what should we do..."
Er Niu leaned over and said, "According to the information we have inquired before, in half an hour, all these slaves will come up to eat, and then we will blow up again."
Xue Rengui nodded: "Alright, let's split up and light the explosives when these people leave the salt well and come out to eat."
He took the lead in opening his backpack, and there were three arms-sized explosive packs inside.
Before that, Xue Rengui didn't believe that there was such a big killer in the world.But after Chen Chu demonstrated it and tried it himself, he was completely convinced.
Xue Rengui and the others quickly dispersed, taking advantage of the night, to go quietly in all directions.
Since more than ten years ago, Xue Rengui has sent people to monitor every move on the cliff above. For the terrain, these guys have already been familiar with the terrain, as if they were in their own home.
……
Chapter 230 Hero, please spare me
in the dark.
One by one, black shadows quietly appeared in various places.
They swiftly placed the explosive packs in various places, and Xue Rengui led a few people directly into the bottom of the salt well and placed the explosive packs in some key positions.
Dangdang.
Not long after, a rapid bell rang in the distance, and the slaves who were still struggling to dig the salt mine rushed out in a file, and ran not far away.
It is time to eat.
Xue Rengui hid behind a warehouse. Seeing that all the soldiers overseeing the work had left, he took out a fist-sized object from his pocket, lit it with a torch, and threw it into the air.
Snapped.
The thing exploded in mid-air.
Seeing this, the others took out fire folders one after another, lit the explosives one by one, then turned around and ran out.
Several people ran to a pit and joined Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui counted the heads and said, "When the explosion happens, there will be chaos all around. Let's take advantage of the chaos and escape, and the remaining brothers will meet us by the creek not far away..."
The voice did not fall.
bang.
A loud bang.
Rumble.
All around began to explode one after another.
The explosion alarmed the Tubo soldiers in the distance. They were stunned for a moment, and then they saw the flames everywhere. They all dropped their weapons, prostrated themselves on the ground, kept kowtow, and shouted loudly in the room.
Seeing Xue Rengui and the others, they were a little confused.
According to conjecture, when the explosion occurred, many soldiers should come to track it down.
But the reality is that no one came over, and the soldiers and slaves were all prostrate on the ground.
They underestimated the power of the dynamite pack.
For the Tubo soldiers who had never seen such a thing, the explosion of the explosive package was like a thunderbolt, which made people awe and dare not approach.
Xue Rengui roared: "Go!"
The few people quickly withdrew outside while no one was paying attention.
Along the way, without any obstruction, they easily pulled out the range of the salt well.
When he came outside, Er Niu said in disbelief, "Dalang, this... we escaped right away? No one seems to be chasing us, right?"
A guy around waved the long knife in his hand and said: "I thought there would be a fierce battle, but I didn't expect it, so I just ran out..."
Several people feel a little unreal.
Xue Rengui looked behind and said: "I want to understand, it's because the Tibetans have never seen explosives before, just like our brothers saw the boss demonstrate the grenade for the first time. Have you recovered?"
"Yeah, no wonder they all turned pale with fright..."
"Hahaha……"
Xue Rengui said in a deep voice: "This is a good opportunity for us to escape. Once the Tubo people come to their senses, they will definitely send soldiers to chase us. Let's go back first and bring Changsun Chong with us."
"go!"
Several people got on their horses and hurried away towards the distance.
……
In the col.
"Uuuuuuu..."
"Woooo..."
The carriage shook violently.
puff.
A black shadow rolled down from the carriage.
Chang Sun Chong was tied up with a rope and a piece of sackcloth was stuffed in his mouth.
Falling from the carriage, the pain caused him to stare.
But he suddenly had a happy face, because he felt that the rope tied to his body was loose.
After struggling a few times, he threw the rope away.
He stood up, took a breath, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Xue Rengui, you are going to die, don't take me with you, I want to go home, I want to go back to Chang'an..."
As he spoke, he picked up the animal fur coat next to him, stumbled, and ran in the opposite direction up the mountain.
Even though he was wrapped in a fur coat, he was still shivering from the cold, and his teeth were chattering.
After walking forward for a short time, I suddenly saw a group of people walking towards this side with torches.
Changsun Chong was overjoyed, standing on the side of the road and waving hurriedly, "Help, help me..."
The convoy is approaching.
The eldest grandson suddenly turned around and ran away.
Because he saw that those guys who came forward were all wearing animal skin hats, with machetes pinned to their waists, and they were from Tubo.
He suddenly remembered that this is not Datang, but Tubo.
He exerted all his strength and ran towards the distance.
Unfortunately, a few Tubo people rushed up and picked it up.
puff.
Chang Sun Chong was thrown to the front of the convoy.
A rough woman stepped forward, kicked him, and asked in blunt Central Plains dialect, "Tang people?"
Chang Sun Chong looked at the people around him, most of whom were dressed as Tubo soldiers. He knew in his heart that if someone knew his identity, it would be more dangerous than good, so he quickly shook his head: "I...I am not from Tang Dynasty..."
boom.
The woman punched him on the forehead, and he immediately burst into tears.
The female man said in a low voice: "Hmph, it must be a spy sent by the Tang people to arrest him..."
The Tubo soldiers stepped forward, beat Changsun Chong, and threw him into a carriage.
The grandson burst into tears.
Along the way, following Xue Rengui and others, although it was difficult, at least there would be no danger to their lives. Now that they are recovering, they were unexpectedly caught by Tubo soldiers of unknown origin.
It's over! It's over!
He looked around quietly, and saw that there were more than a dozen fully armed Tubo soldiers in the convoy, all of whom were led by that woman.
