Chapter 496

The birds fluttered up into the sky and appeared in the vision of the tessi people.

With a wave of galberg's long knife, "destroy the strong crossbow and withdraw."

Sergeant tessy moved quickly. With only a few breaths, the broad strong crossbow turned into a pile of broken wood. In the middle of the wood, you can vaguely see metal pieces of different colors.

On the other side, led by Qian Buzhou Tong, the Han army who withdrew from Jiameng pass climbed up the stacked city wall with the help of a cloud ladder.

Inside the cave, several guards took out ropes and tied Joseph up again.

The army pushed forward, threw out the ladder and saved Su Lu and his party.

The birds in the sky began to pour crossbows and arrows, such as the rain. Crossbows and arrows shrouded the escaped Taixi people. With only a few face-to-face Kung Fu, half of the Taixi people were killed. Yu Zhong didn't dare to escape again. He knelt on the ground and raised his hands.

The army pushed forward and tied up these Tashi people.

Su Lu's face was still a little ugly when he came out of the cave. He had walked through his life and death today. I'm afraid he couldn't survive without the cave.

The grandson galberg reacted quickly enough. He not only ate himself a strong crossbow, but also destroyed it.

Joseph was tied with a rope. When he saw galberg who was also tied with a rope, he went up and gave him a foot.

"Grandson, you're tough enough to kill me. You're not qualified. Let's see how I can help you when I go back."

Galberg glanced at Joseph's rope and his tone was full of ridicule:

"Go back and help me? Think about how to go back first."

Gao Dashan kicked galberg to the ground, scolded and said, "I'm afraid now. If I slow down, I'll have nothing. Several brothers died in your hands."

Su Lu glanced at the broken Guancheng and ordered, "untie Lord Joseph."

The land battle came up and untied the rope for Joseph himself.

Su Lu patted Joseph on the shoulder: "Lord Joseph, you have fought with me a lot. You also know the level of Su Lu. In addition to sending out strong crossbows, you tessi have no way to me. Let's take the barbarian land as the boundary, return to me in the East and your tessi Empire in the West. How about it?"

Joseph rubbed his aching wrists, his face unchanged:

"Commander, it's impossible. Our Taixi Empire invades the barbarians. What we want is a kind of metal produced by their clan land. Give up half of the barbarians. Don't say I don't agree, even the Minister of the army won't agree. This means that tens of thousands of expeditionary warriors have lost their blood after more than ten years of operation of our Taixi empire."

Su Lu patted Joseph on the shoulder: "all right, go back and report to your war minister and your emperor. We can talk about whether it can be done or not. The key is whether we can talk about it."

Joseph understood, saluted Su Lu, asked for several captured soldiers of tessi from the land war, asked for some war horses and went out of the customs.

Most of the destroyed Guancheng is deposited in the middle of Guancheng. It takes a lot of effort to dig it.

The logistics captain of the rear army came to complain to Su Lu: "commander, this thing is too thick. We dig it by hand. I don't know how much effort it will take. It's too difficult for me."

Su Lu looked at the dilapidated Guancheng and instructed him, "there's no need to do this. You just need to dig out the gate hole and open up the wall."

The logistics captain's eyes brightened. In this way, it can save a lot of manpower.

Su Lu returned to Guancheng, sat down in the Festival Hall of the governor's house, and ordered him to say:

"The war here is over. What's left is to quarrel with the Tibetans. The barbarians have the metal they need, and there must be the metal we need. In recent days, many long-range flying birds have been sent to deter the barbarians in the barbarians, or kill or drive them away, so that the flying bird camp can decide on its own."

"The peace talks will be presided over by Dong Ling and coordinated by General Qian Buzhou. As soon as the talks are concluded, Dong Ling will lead the bird camp back to Liangjiang and prepare for the war between Liangjiang."

Dong Ling stepped out and asked, "governor, but what boundary should the peace talks take?"

Su Lu pointed to the defense map: "take the front line of Jiameng pass as the standard. This is the control area of China's Han Dynasty. Half of the barbarian areas to the west can't have Thai troops."

"As for the barbarian metal needed by the Taixi people, it can be mined by the barbarians. We don't intervene, and the Taixi people can't intervene openly."

"As for the metals in western Liaoning, we can trade with the Taixi people and sell them the metals."

"This is the bottom line. If the Taixi people don't agree, fight again, send out long-range birds, destroy the barbarian land, and let the Taixi people see the sharp weapons of China."

The generals agreed.

Su Lu got up and ordered the land war to prepare the carriage. The war in Liangjiang area has been fighting for a long time. He must hurry back.

The war has been settled here in Jiameng pass. Li Qing has mobilized officials everywhere in the pass and began to sort out government affairs. There is basically no place to use himself.

When the carriage came out of Jiameng pass, Su Ge sat on the shaft, asked Su Lu and said, "Lord, let's go back to Beijing. Your majesty hasn't seen you for a long time. I should be glad to see you."

In the carriage, Su Lu, who was lying asleep under the quilt, said wearily, "go to Liangjiang. I don't know what Rhoda and Li Weiyuan have ruined Liangjiang. I'm not at ease."

Su Ge heard the speech and said, "several copies of the war reports of the two rivers have been sent. Although Luo Jiang's house has been lost, General Li Kun and general Rhoda have coordinated with each other and guarded the city. Now the British army has been blocked in the city for several months, and the British people can't do it at all."

Su Lu didn't speak, and fell asleep. Can the war report sent by Rhoda be serious.

In Jiameng pass, Dong Ling sat at the head of the golden dagger, which embarrassed Qian who wanted to sit in the main position. By picking up the tea cup, he sat down in the first position on his left hand.

Dong Ling glanced at Qian Bu, and a trace of cunning flashed in his eyes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the governor entrusted me with Western Affairs. In order to achieve the goal of ruling by dividing with the Taixi people, now I have several things to arrange."

"Fan Quan, speed up your baggage army, clean up the west gate, strengthen the gate and open the road."

"Cao Rui, go out of your bird camp every day. Find the camp of the Taixi people and the camp of the barbarians. On the premise of ensuring their own safety, let them open their eyes and know how powerful our sharp weapons are."

"General Qian, your troops go forward, set up camps outside the pass, and make a gesture of going forward to attack the barbarians."

"Gao Dashan, your guard camp is coming out. I allow you to choose your own fighters and cameras to fight, kill or burn. For the camps of Taixi and barbarians, destroy seven or eight. The more, the better."

The generals agreed.

When Joseph returned to his camp, it was already dark.

When he got to the big tent of the Chinese army, he told Duke William about the destruction of the strong crossbow.

William, the second-class Duke of the tessi Empire, the supreme commander of the expeditionary army in the barbarians, looked at Joseph with a sneering smile on his face.

"Well, I know about it, Joseph. You've been defeated hard. Go back and have a rest."

Joseph said hurriedly, "my Lord, what's the matter of peace with the state of Han?"

William smiled
