After discovering that his strength suddenly increased, Lu Xiaoning finally felt better.

The anxiety and fear caused by a girlfriend who is too good-looking and has a good figure are also relieved a lot.

After washing up, I turned on my computer and entered the Tang Dynasty world, only to find that it was still dark in Seluburg, the soldiers and civilians in the fort were still asleep, and there was a two-hour difference between Anxi and Yincheng.

After logging into various video platforms and taking a look, Lu Xiaoning's mood became even better.

Because the video playback volume on each platform has increased again, the backend revenue has also increased. Now the combined revenue of each platform has exceeded 2,000, so Lu Xiaoning decisively withdrew the cash.

Today is Monday, another busy day for Lu Xiaoning.

In the morning, I tested the new crusher. In the afternoon, I went to the client company to measure the site data of the central feeding system and issued a material bill to the production department. I didn't get off work until eight o'clock.

Qin Xiao, this apprentice, is extremely conscientious.

He has been following Lu Xiaoning since morning.

Lu Xiaoning got off work at eight o'clock, and Qin Xiao also got off work at eight o'clock.

It was Qin Xiao's father who drove Lu Xiaoning back to Yongfeng No. 2 Village again.

After returning to the rental house and washing his face, Lu Xiaoning turned on the computer again.

First, I quickly browsed the data of various video platforms and found that it has increased a lot.

The number of views on a single platform of "Shattered Men and Horses" has exceeded one million, and the number of views of "Single Rider Shocking Tubo" just posted last night has also exceeded 500,000, and the comment area below is as popular as ever.

Most of the comments are complimentary.

"This Tang Bing is so handsome."

"Six sixty-six, riding alone to shock Tubo! Really good at playing!"

"Now I believe that Zhang Fei really scared off one hundred thousand Cao's troops at Dangyang Bridge."

"The idiot upstairs, this is a video synthesized by artificial intelligence, and you actually take it seriously."

Lu Xiaoning flipped through a few pages at random and stopped reading because there were too many comments. If he had to read them all, he wouldn't have to do anything tonight.

After turning off each platform, Lu Xiaoning opened the monitoring screen again.

As a result, Lu Xiaoning was shocked as soon as the camera opened.

Because what caught his eyes was a skeletal human head.

Good guy, the Tibetan army in the Tang Dynasty has launched an attack on Selüburg.

Lu Xiaoning quickly pulled up the camera and gave Seluburg a panoramic view of the city at a height of 100 meters.

It was night when Lu Wen entered the city last night, and he couldn't see clearly because it was dark. Although it was also night now, he could see clearly because dozens of bonfires had been lit on the top of the city of Selüburg.

But in the background, the Tubo army launched attacks from both directions at the same time.

Among them, the situation in the west was even more dangerous. The Tubo army once stormed the city. The head that appeared in the camera just now was one of the Tibetan soldiers who stormed the city.

Fortunately, Lu Wen blocked the gap in time.



"Lu Wen, good boy! Well done! It seems that your martial arts skills have really improved!"

The attack of the Tubo army was finally repelled, and Colonel Tian Dajia was able to take a breather.

Cui He couldn't help but said: "Commander Lu, can we compete in martial arts later?"

In the past, Cui He would never have had such an idea. It wasn't that he looked down on Lu Wen's skills, it was just the size of the two of them. He was nearly seven feet tall and weighed over two hundred kilograms, while Lu Wen Wen is only a little over six feet tall and weighs only 156 pounds at most. How can he fight him?

Cui He was even worried that Lu Wen wouldn't be able to catch his sword.

But now, Cui He no longer thinks so. He feels that Lu Wen is already qualified to be his opponent.

It was true that the sword Lu Wen just struck was too cruel. Cui He asked himself that even if it were him, it would be just like that. The Tibetan soldier who just stormed the city was not a good person.

"Well, if you want to learn from each other, you have plenty of time." Lu Wen sang with his hands crossed.

"But now let's think about how to defeat the enemy. The next step is the test."

Speaking of this meal, Lu Wen pointed to the outside of the fort and said: "The Tibetan army's ladder has been set up, and then they will push the ladder to attack Selüburg."

"Ladder?" Tian Dajia's eyes narrowed.

Cui He's expression suddenly turned grim.

Under the cover of night, I saw six or seven giant objects erected in the camp of the Tibetan army.

Accompanied by the shouts of the Tibetan army and the grunting of the yaks, these six or seven giants were pushed out of the military camp one after another, and then slowly approached the west wall of Seluburg along the river valley.

The defense of Selüborg is aimed at the Great Bolü Kingdom in the east, so the ground outside the east wall has a steep slope and the road is narrow and rugged, so ladders are difficult to pass. However, after the west wall is the Tang Dynasty, so the terrain is open and flat. , the siege ladder can be pushed directly to the base of the city wall without any hindrance.

"Damn it, where did the Tubo dog get the ladder?"

Tian Dajia beat the battlements at the top of the city bitterly.



The same question also lingered in Lu Xiaoning's mind.

Where did the Tibetan army in the west get the ladders?

Where were not only the ladders, but also the food and grass to sustain tens of thousands of horses and horses transported?

Lu Xiaoning had already followed Lu Wen and the others through surveillance cameras to cross the Karakoram Mountains once. It was not easy. It was possible for people and horses to cross over, but it was absolutely impossible to carry the supplies to sustain tens of thousands of horses. It was impossible to carry a ladder. Crossing the Karakoram Mountains with such heavy equipment is even more wishful thinking.

However, the tens of thousands of Tibetan troops who circled back to the west of Selüburg not only did not suffer from food shortages, they actually built several ladders weighing dozens of tons. How did they do it?



Lu Wen and the others have no time to think about this.

Because the Tubo army has approached the base of the city wall.

As mentioned before, the main reason why Gao Xianzhi ordered the construction of Seluburg was to defend against the attack of the Tibetan army stationed in Dabolu Kingdom, so most of the defense facilities were set up towards the east.

For example, a trench was dug to the east of Selu Castle and water from the Selu River was introduced to form a moat.

Another example is that the terrain east of Seluburg is undulating, and the only official road is narrow and difficult to pass. Large equipment such as ladders, siege engines, and well-mounted vehicles are simply impassable.

There are also large defensive equipment such as Fuyuan crossbow, bed crossbow and ballistae, also arranged on the east wall.

Compared with the east city wall, the west city wall has very few defensive facilities and is not covered with bricks.

However, since there was also a Tibetan army to the east of Seluburg, the Tang army did not dare to move the large equipment on the east wall to the west wall. Therefore, the defenders on the west wall could only rely on crossbows, wooden crossbows, and bows and arrows to defeat the enemy. .

However, the crossbows, wooden crossbows, and bows and arrows could not threaten the well-prepared Tibetan army.

The Tang army on the top of the city tried their best to shoot with crossbows, but the Tubo army hid behind the solid oars and the three thick baffles of the ladder, and was almost unscathed during the advance.

Soon, six ladders were pushed under the west city wall.

Immediately, the six folded long ladders were turned upwards under the pull of the noose. When they fell from the sky, the two iron hooks tied to the top of the long ladders were firmly hooked on the battlements of the west city wall.

The next moment, Tubo Guiben, who was wearing armor and holding a shield in his left hand and a scimitar or a short-handled bone in his right, immediately rushed up on the ladder, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Every time the Tubo army encountered the Tang army, they would always be particularly energetic.

The Tang army at the top of the city was not stupid enough to rely on brute force to push the ladder.

Because the ladder weighs dozens of tons, several people cannot push it at all.

The Tang army immediately gathered six groups of infantry to guard the exit of the ladder.

Lu Wen held a horse spear and guarded the exit of one of the ladders. When the Tibetan soldiers at the front came within two steps, Lu Wen took one step and stabbed out the horse spear with all his strength.

The distance of this acceleration was more than six feet.

There was just a pop, and the sharp blade easily pierced the oar.

Before the remaining force was exhausted, the Tibetan soldiers were pierced through their armors and exposed from the back.

The body was pierced, and the Tibetan soldiers instantly let out a scream like a slaughtered pig.

However, the Tibetan soldier was really fierce. After being severely wounded, Dang even threw away the oars and bones in his hands, then firmly grasped the long handle of the horse with both hands, and even tried to use his weight to drag Lu Wen down from the top of the city.

But it was in vain. Lu Wen suddenly exerted force and pulled Ma Shan back again.

The sound of piercing the air and screams sounded from the top of the city at the same time, and several Tang soldiers fell to the ground after being hit by arrows.

However, it was the Tubo crossbowmen who were responsible for covering outside the city and began to fire arrows at the top of Selüburg.

"Back away, don't show your head!" Lu Wen hurriedly backed away and hid behind the battlements.
