Chapter 202 (1/2)
War is an act of violence that forces the enemy to obey our will. In the same way, war is an absolute means to gain wealth and power.
But our war is to seek a just and stable country for the Tibetan people who are living in dire straits.
For their happy life and for their Zanpu, mangsong mangzan was no longer controlled by the treacherous minister ludongzan. Therefore, as a shangguo, the Tang Dynasty has the responsibility and obligation to help them.
The impassioned speech just made his guard's eyes shine with stars. He didn't understand what his highness had gone mad in the morning.
Quan Yi had already led a team to the other side of the mountains to wait for the Tubo caravan. However, the prince's highness was facing the snow mountain in the distance, and was in awe of righteousness.
”Well, after all that said, you don't have much to understand. As long as you remember, you can't let Quan Yi's men steal the limelight.” Li Hong looked at the two hundred people with a blank face and pondered over the mobilization before the war for the whole night. It seemed that he was in vain.
The war of this era, however, tends to be barbaric. Truth is always the first thing to be sacrificed.
The most recognizable thing for Tubo people is their clothes and their hair.
A kind of Robe similar to the ruffled collar, together with a belt of animal fur interwoven, is their most prominent feature.
And hair adornment also is better distinction, a head of braid, regardless of men and women are the same, a hat off, immediately appears messy.
A camel team, too long to see its tail, came slowly from the narrow corner far away from the Kunlun Mountains.
The clear camel bell with a trace of mystery rings on the open plateau. The jingling sound and the occasional shouting of merchants attract the Hawks flying in the blue sky and white clouds.
The roar of mountain eagles in the sky did not make the camel team stop and doubt for half a moment. The first one humped camel is unique to Tubo.
Yaks are also good at walking mountain roads. Like the one humped camel, yaks are extremely cold resistant and extremely durable. As pack animals, both are the most proud livestock of Tibetan merchants.
Putting down his binoculars, Li Hong looked at the camel caravan like a stream of small rivers and merchants of more than 2000 people, which might not be so spectacular on the desert.
But in the winding mountain road, these people can be a group of overlord that nobody dares to provoke in Congling.
At the back of the mountain, Quan Yi's troops and horses were already ambushed. On the other side, Li Hongzao had been waiting for a long time in a narrow place like a canyon.
Wei Tu looked at the camel caravan like a long dragon. He couldn't figure out how to eat these caravans when the number was not dominant.
”The old thing doesn't come?” Facing the mountain breeze, Li Hong murmured to himself.
The camel team has been able to see two thousand little people, but they can't see at all. There are important people like them mixed in.
”Sir, you don't mean...” Hua Meng Gulong swallowed his saliva and did not dare to speak out.
Li Hong ignored Hua Meng's question. Of course, he knew the importance of the battle and what the consequences would be if he could not succeed.
Along the way, Li Hong didn't reveal that Lu Dongzan was in the camel team. All along, he used Lu Dongzan's plan of this Tibetan merchant's action as the reason to prevaricate others: why attack a camel team, but also let himself go out in person.
”Flag, command, no matter what happens, don't move, wait for the order.” After Li Hong finished, he picked up a heavy, long-distance sniper crossbow and found a commanding point.
Lu Dongzan old things do not appear, these camel teams may be swaggering away from their own eyes.
This is a situation that Li Hong is absolutely not allowed to appear, so he can only try to shoot the leader of the camel team with a long-distance bow and crossbow to see what will happen.
A fine iron arrow full of spiral patterns was slowly buckled into the slot by Li Hong.
Looking at the camel team leader who was still walking leisurely forward, Li Hong took off the blindfold disguised as a Pirates of the Caribbean and began to aim at the leader.
Li Hong estimated that the mountain wind would lead to the deviation of the arrow's accuracy. With the sound of the eagle above his head, Li Hong immediately pulled the trigger, and the sound of the arrow breaking into the air and the eagle's singing in the sky reflected each other.
”My lord...” Xiao Xue looks at the leader who is still walking.
”No hurry, let the arrow fly for a while.” As soon as Li Hong's voice dropped, he heard the camel's bell in front of his ear, and there was a trace of confusion.
”Yeah, one hit.” Li Hongfei grabs the telescope in Xiaoxue's hand quickly and observes carefully.
The leader fell to the ground with his eyebrows in the middle. The camel was frightened by the wind brought by the arrow, and the conditioned reflex retreated. Therefore, the camel bell on the camel's neck made a chaotic noise.
The camel team slowly stopped, except at the beginning, when they shot the leader, there was a little confusion ahead. In a moment, the whole team soon returned to calm.
