"Hurry! Hurry! Hurry up! The hall army is about to triumph. We must pave all the brick roads before the first batch of soldiers triumph! You can go home when you're done!" an official of the work department said anxiously.
"Yes!" a group of corvee people heard that they could go home. They couldn't help but speed up the laying of brick roads.
Su dingfang closed the Jade Gate and looked at the brick road with rapid progress. He couldn't help laughing bitterly.
Before, these people from the work department were grinding very hard. When the news came that the army had not defeated Gaochang, the work department built it slowly. It took several months to build Wuwei. There was no brick road from Wuwei to Yumenguan. The time required was as long as that from Chang'an city to Wuwei City.
He was responsible for escorting food and grass, but he did not suffer a lot. The Ministry of labour still shirk the reason that money and grain were not in place. However, it was not long after the news of the victory of the army's victory over Gao Chang came, the Ministry of work was anxious, and even spared no expense to transfer the red brick from the Central Plains to the land of long right. Even more, he spared no expense to recruit civilian men, which was worthy of being built outside the Yumen pass.
"No wonder the Ministry of industry is in a hurry. I'm afraid the first batch of successful firearms supervisors are coming soon!" Su dingfang couldn't help standing at the Jade Gate and raised his telescope to look out of the pass.
Suddenly, his eyes were frozen. In the lens of the telescope, a cavalry was speeding towards the Yumen pass. It was the equipment of the firearm supervisor.
"Could it be that the herald of the firearm supervisor has arrived!" Su dingfang said in his heart.
I saw the firearm supervisor come across the horse. When he was close to the Yumen pass, the horse under his crotch could no longer bear the whine and fell to the ground with a plop. When he just set out, it was the highest standard for one person to ride three horses. However, in order to ask for help at the fastest speed, he suddenly killed the other two horses, and I'm afraid he couldn't hold on to the last horse, But fortunately, he has seen the jade gate closed.
The fallen firearm supervisor immediately turned over and continued to run towards Yumenguan.
"Come on, go up and meet!" Su dingfang waved his big hand and immediately another team of cavalry took an empty horse from Yumen pass to the outside of the pass.
Soon, the Yumenguan cavalry met the firearm supervisor and brought him to Su dingfang.
"In a hurry, our army was ambushed by 5000 Tubo troops just after leaving the Gobi for 2000 Li. General Su was also asked to send troops to rescue the firearm supervisor." the firearm supervisor said anxiously.
"Five thousand Tibetan soldiers ambushed the firearm supervisor!" Su dingfang was shocked, not to mention how serious it was that five thousand Tibetan cavalry quietly appeared in the rear of the Tang Dynasty. Firearm supervisor and gunpowder are the top secrets of the Tang Dynasty. Now, just now in Gaochang, they were ambushed by Tubo, not to mention the world-famous mojiazi.
These three are combined together. Su dingfang doesn't know the seriousness of this. I'm afraid it will cause an uproar.
"If someone comes, hurry up eight hundred miles immediately and report to the imperial court. All cavalry will assemble immediately after leaving the customs to rescue the firearm supervisor." Su dingfang roared.
Five thousand Tibetan cavalry appeared outside the Yumen pass. Such serious military dereliction of duty will certainly cause an uproar. You must report it to the imperial court. Mohist Zi has a unique status and makes friends with him. He must be saved both public and private.
"Yes!" all the officers and men of Yumen pass immediately shouted. Mohist Zi had a special significance to Yumen pass. Although Yumen pass was once important, it was only famous in the army. However, a poem by Mohist Zi made Yumen pass known all over the world and brought wind and mill to Yumen pass. Yumen pass officers and men naturally liked it.
With the thunder of drums, Su dingfang led two thousand elite cavalry of Yumen pass to rush out of Yumen pass immediately. At the same time, a team of post soldiers hurried to Chang'an city again with 800 Li.
"Come on!"
Su dingfang hurried to the Gobi desert without hesitation. The importance of Mohism and gunpowder is well known all over the world. Otherwise, Tubo would not use 5000 cavalry to ambush the firearms prison. He might be able to save Mohism a quarter of an hour earlier.
Two thousand iron cavalry ran all the way. Although the number of two thousand iron cavalry was still lower than that of firearm supervisors, the Tang army was well equipped. Although two thousand Tang army may not be able to defeat five thousand Tibetan cavalry, it was not difficult to rescue mojiazi. Of course, the premise was that mojiazi could persist in his rescue.
"I hope the great Mohist can make another miracle." Su dingfang secretly said that the firearm supervisor was protected by a large army every time he went to war. He did not have a large-scale encounter, and most of them were firearms. Everyone knew that the power of gunpowder was invincible, but no one knew how powerful the firearm supervisor was in actual combat, not to mention that the Mohist faced five times the force, It's intentional to unintentional.
In addition, when the firearm prison had just trekked out of the Gobi desert for two thousand miles, it was even more tired. If it was other troops, Su dingfang might have stopped thinking. However, the sacrifice of the firearm prison was the Mexican family, which gave him a little more hope.
Su dingfang almost used his horsepower to the limit. In a full day, Su dingfang arrived at the battlefield. He saw the traces of gunpowder explosion and broken soldiers and arrows from a long distance, but he didn't see a body.
"It's over!" Su dingfang's heart sank. If he came late and the war was over, I'm afraid the defeated party must be the firearm supervisor.
"I hope mohou can escape," sighed a cavalry general on one side, obviously not optimistic about mohaizi and the firearm supervisor.
Su dingfang shook his head and his heart was very heavy. Even if Merton escaped, there would be a vast Gobi desert of two thousand miles and a vast sea of eight hundred miles to the south. In such a hot weather, I'm afraid it would be more or less bad to escape.
"Found the firearm prison, in the sand ahead!" suddenly, the former army scouts cheered.
When Su dingfang was happy, he immediately raised his telescope in the direction indicated by the scouts. Through the telescope, Su dingfang saw the vehicle array of firearm supervisors in the middle of the sand and the firearm supervisors and soldiers burying their bodies.
"The firearm prison is still there!" Su dingfang couldn't help but rejoice. If the firearm prison was still there, wouldn't it be mohou's safety, but the Tubo cavalry? Didn't the firearm prison's rescue soldiers say there were five thousand cavalry? "
However, when he was close to the sand, he found the bodies of Tubo cavalry lying around the sand. The number was amazing. In particular, the closer he was to the sand, the more Tubo cavalry. When he reached the sand, he saw a huge sand pit in the middle of the sand. Firearm supervisors were dragging the dead Tubo cavalry into the sand pit and burying them.
"Where is mohou? Where are the Tubo cavalry?" Su dingfang hurried to the firearm supervision vehicle array and asked in a hurry.
Xue Rengui naturally had already found Su dingfang, and then came forward and said, "the firearms supervisor has defeated 5000 Tubo cavalry. On Qin Ling's lead, thousands of cavalry fled, and mohou has led 400 cavalry to pursue."
"One thousand defeats five thousand!" Su dingfang sighed in his heart. Even if he saw the body of the Tubo cavalry, he had been mentally prepared. When he heard the real results, he couldn't help shaking up the combat power of the firearm prison.
Suddenly, Su dingfang reacted and was suddenly surprised and said, "what? Marquis Mo went to pursue the Tibetan troops."
"Yes!" Xue Rengui confirmed.
"It's nonsense!" Su dingfang was extremely defeated. He was relieved by the news that the firearm supervisor defeated the Tibetan cavalry. But he couldn't help worrying when he heard the news. The mojiazi went after the Tibetan disabled soldiers with his own danger.
"How long did mohou go and which direction did he pursue?" Su dingfang asked hurriedly.
Xue Rengui stretched out his hand to the South and said, "it's been a full day."
Su dingfang looked at the vast Gobi in the south, which was the direction of 800 miles of the vast sea. He came in a hurry and didn't make enough preparations to enter the desert. Not to mention that Merton had gone for a day, and now I'm afraid he can't catch up with him.
"You don't want to stay here, you'd better go to Yumen pass to have a rest and wait for the news of Duke mo." Su dingfang said in a loud voice when he saw the wounded soldiers in the fire monitor.
Xue Rengui nodded. The Gobi desert is extremely hot in summer. In addition, there are a lot of wounded soldiers in the fireware prison. You really need to go to Yumen pass to rest.
At that moment, with the help of two thousand cavalry, the firearm supervisor set out again and went in the direction of Yumen pass.
Su dingfang walked at the end, couldn't help looking towards the South and sighed: "I hope mohou can create another miracle and return safely."
Xue Rengui nodded solemnly and said, "I will."
