Chapter 1744 War in the Sky!

Chapter 1744

"The opponent set up a lot of traps in Qingluling, fell into a horse pit, blocked the ropes, and used a lot of barbed wire. The technique was very skilled and professional, and completely blocked all the roads going south. It took a lot of money to clear and fill these obstacles. time."

"On both sides of Qinglu Ridge, there are undulating mountains, densely covered with thorns, and very dense trees. In some places, war horses can't pass through at all. If you go around on both sides, the speed of tens of thousands of troops will be greatly slowed down. If you go around by another road , it will take at least half a day more!"

"In any case, their arrival in the capital will be greatly delayed!"

Jin Youshi lowered his head and said, the last sentence seemed to have the power of a thousand ounces. When he uttered the words "greatly delayed", Jin Youshi seemed to exert all his strength, his face was pale, and he was sweating like rain.

At this time, no one understands better than Jin Fashi what the delay in the arrival of the army means. More importantly, the "attack" of the Beiting Protectorate Army obviously has a lot to do with his incomplete information investigation.

However, even Jin Youshi couldn't imagine that the other party would use such a method. From outside the Great Wall to the capital, the road is winding and winding, more than thousands of miles, how can he scout every place?

It's just that the facts are already there, and he can't get rid of the relationship.

"This matter has nothing to do with you!"

Just when the hall was full of depression, the ghost king's voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears. Swish, before everyone could react, a burst of sonorous footsteps came to their ears. The next moment, the ghost king suddenly strode over. Suddenly pulled down a curtain on the wall.

Suddenly, an incomplete military map of the Tang Dynasty appeared on the wall!

There are still many places on the map that are blurred and have not been accurately drawn, but many key places have already been described vividly.

——This "competition" involves all aspects from the capital to the border areas. How could the East Palace not draw a complete map of the Tang Dynasty? It's just that compared to Wang Chong's side, the map of the East Palace is obviously a bit rough.

Hou Junji opened the map, and concentrated on the map almost at a glance. The location of "Green Deer Peak" was just a glance away. Hou Junji's eyes jumped, and his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

"We have been tricked, the soldiers and horses in the triangle gap are already here!"

Hou Junji stretched out a finger,

Pointing to the location of Qinglu Peak on the map, the first sentence he uttered shocked the hearts of everyone:

"No accident, the other three routes back from Qinglu Peak have also been cut off by them. At the same time cut off the three routes, laying traps to block tens of thousands of soldiers and horses - absolutely impossible without more than 8,000 troops!"

"I heard that in the Battle of Talas, the coalition forces of Uzang and Western Turks had a total of tens of thousands of troops. They planned to attack from the rear, but they were blocked by the troops under the king of foreign lands for several days, and it was difficult to move forward. That young general It seems to be called Su Hanshan. Jin Youshi, is that the name of the general in the triangle gap?"

"yes!"

Jin Youshi's heart was shocked, and he said hastily.

"It's him!"

Hou Junji flicked his sleeves and said calmly.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid I need to trouble you to contact the Tibetans of Uzbekistan, and ask them to investigate. There is no accident, and quite a few people in the triangle gap are gone."

"All right!"

The eldest prince hesitated for a moment, then nodded. In this operation, neither the eldest prince nor Hou Junji were actually willing to borrow U-Tsang's power. After all, the fewer people they knew about what they were doing now, the better. But now, I have to borrow their power.

"I always thought that what we were going to deal with was only the youngest son of the Wang family. I didn't expect that there was such a person under his command. I informed Zhang Zheng that when he reached Huangjin Ridge, he would move forward from here instead."

As Hou Junji said, he stretched out his finger, and firmly pressed down on a point on the picture.

Everyone was startled, and they all looked together, and saw that the place where Hou Junji pressed his hand looked like a lofty mountain at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a hidden canyon and stream.

The canyon stream was very narrow, and following the shallow stream all the way to the south, the end of the entire canyon pointed straight to Niutouguan, which was the last pass for the army to go south.

In an instant, everyone's hearts were shocked, and they immediately understood what was going on.

"yes!"

At this moment, Jin Youshi was convinced. At this moment, he admired the ghost king in front of him to the extreme.

Da da da!

While talking, a burst of hurried footsteps came from behind, and this rapid change suddenly attracted everyone's attention. For a moment, Hou Junji, the eldest prince, Jin Youshi, Meng Tu and others all turned their heads to look over.

"Report!"

In the eyes of everyone, a Jinwu guard with a long halberd rushed in from outside:

"I received the news that a thousand fully armed iron cavalry have just been transferred into the palace from the foreign land palace. These people are guarding various places around the palace. Now the security is tight there, and it is difficult for our people to approach."

"What?!"

Hearing this news, the First Prince suddenly changed color:

"This bastard is so courageous. He actually dared to blatantly recruit iron cavalry, and he was at the feet of the emperor. What does he want to do?!"

A thousand iron cavalry, and they are fully armed, this is not a small number. This can't be blamed on the First Prince's nervousness. After all, it is Wang Chong who leads them. With Wang Chong's demonstrated ability, these thousand cavalry in his hands are enough to exert the power of ten thousand, or even tens of thousands of cavalry. At this moment, for Donggong, this is definitely a dreadful force.

"Zhu Tongen, take a few people to the foreign palace, I want to see what he wants to do!"

The eldest prince said sharply.

"Your Highness."

At this moment, Meng Tu on the side took two steps forward, lowered his voice, and said hesitantly:

"According to the rules of the imperial court, Wang Chong is a prince, and with the holy emperor's amnesty, it is completely within his authority to raise a group of fully armed private forces. We have no right to stop him!"

As soon as Meng Tu's voice fell, the entire hall fell silent. The eldest prince Li Ying's expression froze, and his face was suddenly full of astonishment.

"In addition, according to the rules, the hundreds of Jinwu guards in the foreign prince's mansion are not included in the thousand people. In addition, the foreign prince's mansion also has the power to use the crossbow, which other princes do not have."

Meng Tu added in a harsh voice. In an instant, needles could be heard all around, and there was depression.

Yes, although Wang Chong is not of royal blood, he is a prince conferred by the Holy Emperor. His power is actually higher than other princes. Even the eldest prince has no right to interfere with this.

On the other side, even the Ghost King couldn't help but frowned. It had to be said that Wang Chong's actions caught him by surprise. In a short period of time, Hou Junji couldn't see his purpose and deep meaning.

"Pass my order and keep a close watch on it. In addition, Jin Youshi, I only give you three days to clear up the suppression plan. No matter what, you must do it. Otherwise, you can come to see the eldest prince yourself!"

Hou Jun said.

"yes!"

Jin Youshi was dripping with cold sweat, bowed quickly and said.

"Clatter!"

In just a moment, the wings vibrated, and countless carrier pigeons, sea dongqings, and hawk sparrows flew out of the East Palace, and the ghost king's orders were quickly passed down.

...

Foreign palace.

Hey!

Thousands of meters above the ground, accompanied by a shrill scream, a huge rock eagle, under the attack of seven or eight hawks, let out a mournful cry, its body stiffened, and fell straight down from the air with a slap , fell on the roof of the foreign palace, and then fell to the ground together with the broken tiles on the roof, bloody and bloody.

On the body of this rock eagle, there are at least a dozen scars from bird pecking.

"Slap!"

But in the blink of an eye, another rock eagle fell from the sky.

In the past twelve hours, the battle between the hawks and sparrows above the palace of the foreign land not only did not abate, but became more intense. This kind of spectacle of birds has already attracted the attention of countless people in the capital, but the city guards and city defense divisions standing in all directions make them flinch.

"My lord, the situation is very bad. We have already sent all the hawks, including the Eagle King, but the other party's birds are constantly increasing. In addition, the other party's purpose seems to be to block the All the news of our entire foreign palace will be intercepted as long as it flies out of the palace. If this continues, we will completely lose contact with various places."

In the yard, Zhang Que stood beside Wang Chong, looking up at the sky, and said worriedly.

This is the first air battle in the capital of the Tang Dynasty. The scale is unprecedented. Although we have tried our best, the situation in front of us has not changed at all, but has become worse.

Wang Chong stood in the yard, motionless, and the shrill birdsong kept ringing in his ears one after another. And every so often, a bird would land beside Wang Chong.

Wang Chong's eyes were slightly closed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Are you ready?"

Suddenly, Wang Chong spoke.

Zhang Que looked stunned. While he was in surprise, a voice suddenly came from behind:

"My lord, everything is ready!"

Before the voice fell, Cheng Sanyuan came out from the shadow behind in armor, and beside him was a young face that seemed to have experienced wind and frost.

"Chen Burang!"

Zhang Que was startled for a moment, but quickly recognized it. He never expected that Chen Burang, who was clearly in the army, would suddenly appear here.

For a moment, he seemed to understand something.

"Get ready!"

Wang Chong waved his hand.

Clang, clang, at the next moment, amidst the sound of crisp footsteps, a group of heavily armed soldiers suddenly came out of the palace of a foreign prince in neat steps. Each of these soldiers is tall and straight, imposing, and more importantly, each of them carries a half-human-high metal bow on their shoulders.

"Prepare!"

With a wave of Chen Burang's arm and an order, the next moment, more than fifty soldiers all knelt and half-kneeled on the ground. They all grabbed five or six sharp arrows, and with a crackling sound, all the bows and arrows aimed at the densely packed hawks in the sky.

Everyone seemed to be frozen there, motionless.

This series of movements is crisp and neat, just like a person, showing superb training.

"put!"
