While the Winged Knights were nervous and cautious, they went down.
They were indeed nervous. They couldn't walk and could only crawl. If there was someone waiting in front.
After crawling for a while, they finally found some space. They lit torches and walked forward.
About twenty steps ahead, the road stopped.
There was a ladder at the side. They placed the ladder and went up. They pushed with all their strength. The wooden planks were pushed away and there was another patch of grass. There were no traces on the ground.
"Who is it? Is this fake too? "One of them scratched his head.
Qin Li carefully observed the wall. He looked at the place where they had just entered. He lifted the grass mat and looked around. There was nothing.
"Calm down, there's no hurry. If it were me, how would I avoid the enemy? Dongzhu taught me to put myself in the enemy's shoes. I think … "
As he said that, Qin Li raised his head and thought.
He found that there were a few holes in the ground. Normally, there would be nothing, but there were holes in the surroundings.
"Bring the ladder over." He shouted.
The ladder was brought over. He went up and pushed. A piece of soil was pushed away.
Everyone crawled forward in the dark. They climbed all the way to the top and pushed with all their strength. As expected, they pushed away a plank.
They crawled out. There was a big tree beside them. There were footprints on the ground. They didn't know if they were new or old because there was grass that absorbed the dew.
"They ran up the mountain from this place? Then why? Since they were running, why did they have to crawl here and there? "Qin Li supported himself with the tree. He wanted to know the purpose of the person who dug the hole.
Many people came over and gathered together to analyze.
What was the point of digging a hole like a maze?
After thinking for a long time, no one could figure it out.
The people who went to the river came back and reported that the enemy had set up camp by the river.
"Smart. They gathered everyone together and played a clearing game with us. At the same time, they faced each other across the river. There weren't enough boats to cross. "
Qin Li said and left with the team.
Guo Zhiyun knew the situation and was relieved. They could build a stronghold on this side of the Yellow River. There was no rush to attack.
When more horses arrived, the enemy would run across the river. It would be easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Both sides faced the same problem. They would be beaten if they crossed the river.
There was no need for them to attack halfway across the river. They would shoot arrows as soon as they entered the river. Their side had more arrows than the Tibetan Army.
Everyone started to build a stronghold on the spot. They estimated that they would have to wait for a few days to figure out the situation of the Tubo people.
Their side still had the advantage. They had the hot air balloons to help them keep watch. In fact, when the wind was good, they could even release the hot air balloons to take a look at the rear.
The hot air balloon then adjusted its altitude and flew back in another direction.
The wind was strong, and the gliders could also go over to take a look.
"It's going to be lively along the Yellow River." After dark, Wang Junkui and Zhang Zhongliang both came over.
The two of them arranged for people to build strongholds at other locations. Both sides used the Yellow River as the boundary and built a camp every few li.
As the defensive line grew longer, both sides had to worry about the other side suddenly crossing the river to launch a sneak attack, especially at night.
"At least during the day, we'll be able to see the enemy's situation. Wherever they're concentrating their forces, we'll be concentrating at the corresponding location."
Zhang Zhongliang was well aware of the current situation.
The defensive line was too long, so both sides secretly gathered and attacked the enemy's single camp.
Tubo could only quickly deploy troops at night, run with sheepskin rafts, and find a place to cross the river to attack.
When the attack came, it was also possible that other positions would be attacked by their own side.
Tubo didn't have hot air balloons, so they could only build a high platform for observation. They didn't have binoculars yet.
"This is a comfortable battle. Binoculars, hot air balloons, explosives, and sky monkeys." Guo Zhiyun sighed. He had never fought such a battle before.
First, the enemy discovered them, then they calmly set up their formations. Super long-range weapons with high damage floated in the air to attack.
There were countless times when he thought about how his own army would fight against an enemy with such weapons.
The conclusion was that they couldn't fight. Only by using similar weapons could they draw even with the enemy.
Next, both sides competed with numbers. Who had more explosives, hot air balloons, and sky monkeys?
"No army in the world can win against an enemy with such a difference in weapons." Guo Zhiyun concluded.
Everyone started to cook. The Winged Knights prepared to keep watch.
"This tree is not bad. Two of you go up." Two Winged Knights went up. It was the tree that Qin Li had supported.
"You guys have worked hard. At night, you two take turns. Put the things down. When we need to fight, don't be a target on top."
The others knew that this was a hidden sentry. They couldn't move at night.
They put the crossbow, bow, compressed biscuits, and bamboo canned fruit under the tree and tied the rope separately.
The space on the tree was small. They couldn't carry the food up.
If they wanted to eat, they would carry the rope. If they really encountered an enemy attack, they would call the police first. Then they would see if it was suitable to kill the enemy. If it wasn't, they would quickly run.
After the arrangements were made, everyone left.
The moon hadn't risen yet, but the stars in the sky were very bright.
Half an hour later, a figure came out from the side of the tree.
The sound crawled to the place where the things were placed. Not long after, it went back.
In the middle of the night, a sleeping sentry was awakened. It was time to change shifts.
When the sentry woke up, the other one tightened his military coat and picked up the rope. He wanted to eat something.
When he picked up the rope, it was light. When he picked it up again, it was still light.
His expression changed. He went to pick up the rope to tie the crossbow. Hey, it was heavy.
He whispered to his companion who had just woken up, "Canned food, compressed biscuits, the rope is untied. I'll bring the crossbow up for you."
"I'll go." The person who had just woken up wanted to go down.
"I'll go." The man picked up the crossbow and handed it to his companion. He took out his tactical knife and went down.
The person above held the crossbow and listened to the movements. At the same time, he simulated the situation in his mind. His head moved slightly.
From this position, other people couldn't shoot directly to kill him.
The other person landed and put his ear to the ground to listen.
After a few minutes, he came to the place where the things were placed. His hand searched the air and found the rope. He followed the rope down. It was empty.
He untied his military coat and covered his head. He took out a lighter and lit it. He looked at the rope and the ground.
The rope was untied. There were no compressed biscuits or bamboo canned fruit on the ground.
His head was full of question marks. He didn't believe that someone could break through the Winged Knights' open and hidden sentry and steal his things.
It was even more impossible for his own people to make such a joke. What the hell?
At this time, in the room under the tree, an old lady was watching her two grandchildren eat under the candlelight.
The four adults took turns to guard. The old lady used to be a Jianghu person.
She was very cautious. She wanted to confirm again whether they were from the Tang dynasty.
If she found something, she would bring it back for a look.
Now she knew that it was the army of the Tang dynasty. She remembered that a newspaper once said that there was a method to make compressed biscuits and bamboo canned fruit.
Tubo couldn't make it. The water temperature was not enough.
The two children ate the compressed biscuits in small bites and drank the juice from the fruit canned fruit. They were full of happiness.
It was so delicious. Even the Tang dynasty started to eat this kind of food? They wanted to go back. They didn't want to work for the Tubo people.
After a few mouthfuls, the two children stopped. They couldn't bear to eat.
"If you don't want to eat, then go to sleep." The old lady helped put the things away, blew out the candles, and let the two grandchildren lie down. She covered them with a leather coat.
She went back into the tree again and kept watch with the Winged Knights.
