Chapter 4804 Capture of the Station
The pass across the Ora Mountains is very narrow and rugged. There is only a winding road in the middle for carriages. Both sides are full of broken cliffs, rocks and trees. It was okay when the caravan passed slowly, but now it needs to go at full speed. The march was difficult.
The mountainous road where only three or four horses could ride side by side dragged the team of 2,000 people for a long time. During the journey, the horses accidentally stepped on the rocks and earth pits on the roadside, causing injuries to the horses. However, the usually calm Lun Qinling could not care less at this moment. These constantly ordered the whole army to speed up, leaving the injured soldiers behind and letting them follow slowly.
He had crossed this mountain pass to enter and exit Tubo more than once, so he had an accurate estimate of the passage time. However, it may have been due to the recent heavy rain or other reasons that caused the gravel on the hillside and cliffs to roll down. Although it had probably been there before. The caravan cleared the road, but it was still difficult to pass.
The time that was originally enough to cross the mountain pass was now only half gone, which made Lun Qinling worried.
The time agreed with the third brother has come, and he is late, so the third brother can only face the defenders of Luyi alone. Although Lebujie is brave and foolhardy, he can decide to send troops first if his brain suddenly flashes. It would be troublesome to fight against the third brother.
When he thought that Bolunzanren might have been surrounded and annihilated by Lebujie and his elite cavalry at this moment, Lunqinling became anxious and angry.
On the way forward, they kept encountering the other party's scouts. The news that Nuanquan Station was breached would definitely reach Nalu Station. All of his whereabouts had been grasped by Lebjie. Once Lebjie took the lead in defeating the Bolunzan Blade, he would then reorganize his troops and hold on. Naluyi blocked itself in this mountain pass, so its two thousand men and horses would be unable to fly...
As time went by, the situation became increasingly unfavorable, but fortunately, the scouts he sent never found any signs of the enemy blocking the mountain pass. This meant that even if Lebjie really took the initiative to attack, the battle would not end at this moment.
As long as we move a little faster, we might be able to take advantage of Lebujie's troops to attack Naluyi while he is out, and then join up with his third brother in the wild to annihilate Lebujie...
The frequency of enemy scouts appearing ahead became more and more frequent, but only bad news always came, which slowly calmed down Lun Qinling's anxious mood. In fact, at this point, no matter how worried or fearful it was, it was useless. The worst was The situation was nothing more than a desperate fight.
Finally, before it got completely dark, Lun Qinling, who was leading the way, drove out of the mountain pass. Suddenly, the eyes opened up. The vast Dafeichuan was looming under the night. The expected enemy blocking the mountain pass never appeared.
This means that Lebujie can either stick to Naluyi and fight to the death, or attack Bolunzan Blade but the battle has not ended yet. No matter which possibility is available, it is a good thing for the current Lunqinling.
"Assaulters are ready, carry the Thunderbolt, and follow me to attack Naluyi!"
The Thunderbolt of the Tang Dynasty is not only useful in field battles, it can blow up a large area. It is also a magical weapon for breaking through cities. Even a solid city wall can be blown down by just adjusting the amount of Thunderbolt. Regarding Qinling's plan, Continuing the strategy of capturing Nuanquanyi, they first sent out assaulters to blow down the wall of Naluyi and rush in. After capturing Naluyi, they then made a long-term plan on how to deal with the next step.
The two thousand soldiers were extremely excited and high-spirited to fight. They secretly attacked Chencang and attacked hundreds of miles along the way. The great victory at Nuanquanyi made the morale of the whole army so high as never before. They finally realized the Tang army's invincible ability to conquer the world. carefree.
Two thousand men and horses rushed out from the mountain pass like a torrent, and went straight to Nalu Post halfway up the mountain. When they arrived outside the post station, several assaulters were about to step forward to detonate the thunder under the wall, and saw Na Lu Post's The door slowly opened, and some soldiers filed out and knelt on the ground...
On Qinling blinked, this is... Kaicheng surrender?
After all, it is also an important town on the northeastern border of Tubo. Why don't you resist?
Regarding the joys and sorrows of Qinling, since Naluyi opened the city and surrendered under his own troops, it means that Lebujie was not within the post. Otherwise, with the strength of thousands of soldiers and horses, he would never have surrendered without a fight. Logically speaking, this means that Lebujie really took the initiative to go out of the city to attack the Bolunzan Blade... but I wonder if the third brother can stop it?
But at this moment, it was too late to worry about anything else. He led his soldiers into the post like a storm, disarmed all the defenders and drove them outside the city. Then he caught several staff in front of him and interrogated them. Only then did he know the whole story...
Lebujie, who was confident of victory with great momentum, was beheaded by Bo Lunzan's sword formation. The whole army collapsed and fled in an instant. Some of the defeated troops returned to Nalu Post to inform them of the battle situation. The staff and soldiers who stayed behind were shocked. He wanted to escape but suddenly found that there was no way to escape.
Naluyi runs through the north and south. You can escape to Dafeichuan to the south. Boluzanren, who defeated Lebujie, is approaching with his army, but the road has been blocked. You can escape back to Tubo by crossing the mountain pass to the north, but the Lunqin Mausoleum He is leading his army from Yamaguchi...
In desperation, they could only decide to surrender. Whichever of the two brothers came first would surrender the city to whomever.
Qin Ling was overjoyed. Although he had always known about his brother's bravery, Lebujie did not mean that cats and dogs, brave but not clever, could be pushed to the position of guarding Naluyi by his brother Chisang Yangdun. It was enough to show his talent. "Courage" is not A little bit higher, and now being killed by Bo Lunzan in front of the battle array can greatly boost the morale of the Gar family, and at the same time, it can also intimidate Luoshou City, and make those tribes who are originally at odds with Zanpu We have one more path to choose.
The strategic deterrent of killing Lebujie in formation was a bit more severe than the consecutive capture of Naluyi and Nuanquanyi.
At that moment, Lun Qinling commanded the troops to accept Naluyi, and the prisoners were gathered to reinforce the walls, gates, and dredge drainage facilities, while the merchants and travelers were expelled.
Several groups of merchants experienced ups and downs in one day. They lamented the ups and downs of life. When they saw that they were expelled, they jointly recommended one person to go to Lun Qinling on their behalf, hoping to recover the confiscated goods and property.
The leader had a smile on his face and was very respectful when he saw Lun Qinling. He said: "We don't dare to delay the general's military affairs here. We will leave now. We just hope to return the confiscated goods. We are all small families." Small households really cannot bear such huge losses.”
These days, the biggest fear for businessmen is to encounter disasters caused by soldiers and bandits. In normal times, although it is not said that there is a huge profit, you can always make more money and lose less, so you can always maintain it.
Lun Qinling looked strange: "Your goods were confiscated by LeBujie. If you want to go back to LeBujie, why should you ask for them from me?"
Merchant: "..."
Do you want me to go down to Loebje?
What's more, if I dared to ask Lebjie for it, I wouldn't let him confiscate it in the first place. Besides, if Lebjie doesn't give us Tang people face, you can't deny it when it comes to Qinling, right?
Your Gar family is now under the protection of the Tang Dynasty...
The merchant had some free time, straightened his clothes, and bowed: "I am Fan Yang, Lu Rensheng, and I have met the general."
Lun Qinling was stunned for a moment: "Are you from the Tang Dynasty?"
"Guaranteed replacement if fake."
"Fanyang Lu family?"
"I'm so lucky."
Lun Qinling stared at the merchant who claimed to be from Fanyang Lu family, and almost spat out a curse word.
You said that you, a descendant of the Fan Yang Lu family, could just declare your identity early, so why did you have to go around and talk a lot of nonsense for a long time?
The Fan Yang Lu family is related by marriage to the Fang family, and Fang Jun's mother was born in the Fan Yang Lu family. With the Gar family's dependence on and fear of Fang Jun, it is absolutely impossible for him to confiscate the Fan Yang Lu family's property.
As for confirming his identity to avoid being deceived, he didn't even think about it. He didn't have that spare time, so he would rather be deceived than take the risk. Otherwise, if he was really a descendant of the Fan Yang Lu family, he would offend Fang Jun to death.
We are still allies. My relatives' property was confiscated by you on your territory. How can you, the second young master of your Gar family?
Lun Qinling forced out a smile and waved his hand: "I have a deep friendship with Duke Yue. Wouldn't it be better if you reported your identity as early as possible? Take all your goods away and don't go to Luoxue City. Go back to the Tang Dynasty as soon as possible. Go to Chang'an and send a message to the Duke of Yue, saying that I've been missing for a day, and hope to see him again and get drunk together."
"Don't worry, general, I will definitely bring this sentence to you."
"Let's go quickly."
"Thank you!"
The merchant turned around and took his attendants to pick out his goods and load them into the truck. The other merchants gathered around him.
Someone was dissatisfied: "We recommended you to talk to Lun Qinling. How come your goods were returned in the end, but we still confiscated them?"
The merchant clasped his fists and said apologetically: "Everyone, it's not that I am selfish and only care about myself and not everyone else. The truth is that the return of the goods was not negotiated by me, but by relying on the Duke of Yue's power to talk about Qinling to give face to others, and ask for the return of the goods for everyone. There is really nothing you can do.”
"Hiss, the Duke of Yue is so majestic. You just mentioned it and gave him face when talking about Qinling?"
"Fang Erlang's power not only spread throughout the Tang Dynasty, but also intimidated other countries. It's awesome!"
"It's a pity that we don't have any good relatives..."
The merchant surnamed Fan didn't care about the envy and jealousy of everyone, and clasped his fists and said: "I am very lucky to get the goods back this time and it does not disgrace my master's mission. I will never go to Luosu City, so I will go back to my hometown to return my life to my master." , everyone bids farewell, we are far away from each other. See you again someday. ”
"Brother Fan, cherish it all the way."
"Go well, go well."
Seeing the merchant surnamed Fan and his entourage driving the carriage out of Naluyi and heading south across the Dafeichuan and towards the border of Riyue Mountain and Tang Dynasty, the remaining merchants looked at each other in shock. Soon they were all expelled by Lun Qinling. Not only were all the goods confiscated, but they didn't even keep half a copper. They just threw some moldy biscuits and sent them away. These people had nothing to do and couldn't care less about the cynicism, envy and jealousy towards others. , they could only speed up their pace and chase the merchant surnamed Fan. Without the help of the merchant surnamed Fan on the way back to the Tang Dynasty, many of them would have starved to death...
