Lu Xiaoning lowered the surveillance camera from a high altitude and pushed it directly into the formation of the Tibetan archers.
I saw that the Tibetan army on the west side of Selüburg had assembled at least two thousand archers, about half of whom used ordinary infantry longbows, but the other half used crossbows.
In addition to Zhang Zhang crossbow, there are even Fuyuan crossbow and bed crossbow.
Needless to say, the manufacturing technology of these crossbows was also brought over by the two princesses.
When Princess Wencheng and Princess Jincheng got married, they brought a large number of craftsmen with them.
Among the dowry craftsmen were many blacksmiths, carpenters and weapon makers.
Lu Xiaoning couldn't help but curse, and Li Shimin and Li Zhi didn't know what they were thinking.
You can just get married and send sugar, silk, tea and other luxury goods to Tubo, but how can you also send craftsmen from all walks of life to Tubo? Pointing to the technological progress of the Tubo people from a slave society to a civilized society, then they will drink water and remember their origins, and be friends with the Tang Dynasty for generations? Isn't this stupid?
There has always been only competition for interests between countries, and there is no sense of gratitude.
Now a hundred years later, Tubo has indeed developed and is even powerful enough to compete with the Tang Dynasty.
If the Tang Dynasty was the superpower at this time, then Tubo was another superpower after the Tang Dynasty. At least at the military level, the two sides were evenly matched and had been at a stalemate for hundreds of years. Hundreds of wars broke out between the two countries, and they were at their peak. The prosperous Tang Dynasty had no choice but to conquer Tubo.
According to the original trajectory, this year was the twelfth year of Tianbao (753). Anxi Jiedushi Feng Changqing sent troops to surrender to the Dabolu Kingdom, and Longyou Jiedushi Ge Shuhan subdued the Jiuqu tribe, and faced off from the east and west. Tubo formed a strategic situation of pincer attack, the prestige of Tubo Zampuchi Dezuzan was seriously weakened, and the undercurrent of rebel forces was surging. At this time, Tubo was already at the critical point of collapse from every aspect. If nothing else, the Tang Dynasty On the verge of winning the final victory in the Hundred Years' War between Tang and Tibet, Li Longji's civil and military skills are about to surpass that of his grandfather Li Zhi.
However, it is a pity that the Anshi Rebellion broke out two years later, and the Tang Dynasty fell from its peak to the bottom in an instant. Tubo, which was already in turmoil, miraculously escaped, and eight years later, it captured Chang'an, and even He also supported a puppet emperor in Chang'an, imitating the Han people's use of barbarians to control barbarians, and also played the trick of using Han people to control Han people.
Therefore, the books sent to Tubo by Li Shimin and Li Zhi still played a very important role.
These books have cultivated many talents for Tubo, such as Lun Qinling, Shang Jiezan and others, who can be ranked among the famous officials and generals of the Tang Dynasty.
But fortunately, it is still the first month of Tianbao's twelfth year.
He still has time to change everything and avoid tragedy.
At that moment, Lu Xiaoning mustered up all his energy and closely monitored the entire battlefield.
Once any danger or gap is found, Lu Wen will be notified immediately, and Lu Wen will ask Pei Zhen or Du Yue to block the gap immediately.
Soon, the offensive and defensive battle of Seluburg was in full swing.
Under the cover of the crossbowmen, the dead soldiers of the Tibetan army in the west rushed up desperately on the ladders. The Tibetan army in the east was not idle either, carrying simple wooden ladders and also launched a strong attack on Seluburg.
Tian Dajia handed over the command of the west city wall to Lu Wen, and he was responsible for the east wall of Seluburg.
Cui He's Modao team was also left at the West City Wall by Tian Dajia because the pressure on the West City Wall was greater.
But even with Cui He's Modao team, the defense of the west city wall is still dangerous and crumbling.
Lu Xiaoning pushed the surveillance camera, switching back and forth between the city and the Tibetan army. Occasionally, he would pull the camera to a height of tens of meters to get a panoramic view, so as to detect danger in time.
As a result, Lu Xiaoning's warnings sounded in Lu Wen's ears from time to time.
"The Tubo people pushed another siege truck to the base of the city wall!"
"The siege engines are starting to smash into the wall. Use the stone grease to burn it down!"
"There's a fierce general coming up the third ladder, and Du Yue's side won't be able to withstand it!"
"A dozen Tibetan soldiers have rushed up the No. 1 staircase, and Pei Zhen is injured!"
"Hurry up and let Cui He's Mo Dao team attack, otherwise we will fall!"
"There's no more stone grease. Send someone down quickly to get it. Get four more buckets of stone grease!"
Just when Lu Xiaoning was busy helping Tang Jun defend the city, his phone suddenly vibrated.
He picked it up and saw that it was his girlfriend An Xin's number. Lu Xiaoning quickly took off his earphones and answered the call. His face instantly changed into a smile, and he said coquettishly: "Bao, have you arrived at Yincheng Airport?"
"Not yet, it's still at Enshi Airport and hasn't taken off yet."
"Ah? What's going on? Why are you still at Enshi Airport?"
"The flight is delayed. It will be very late when we arrive at Yincheng Airport. Don't wait for me."
At this moment, An Yan's voice suddenly sounded next to her: "Ning Ren, don't forget to pick up An An at Yincheng Airport."
"You don't need to pick her up." An Xin said, "It's so late and it's cold. You should go to bed early. I will take a taxi back by myself. It's very convenient to take a taxi from the airport anyway."
"Lu Xiaoning, you're not coming, right? If you're not coming, there are plenty of people who would be willing to pick An An up."
An Yan's voice sounded again, as if she was Lu Xiaoning's girlfriend.
"Who? Who is going to pick up An An?" Lu Xiaoning suddenly became alert after hearing this.
"Bao, don't listen to Yan Zi's nonsense, there is no one." An Xin said softly.
"Oh, then come back soon, I'll wait for you." Lu Xiaoning breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he hung up the phone as the Tibetan army began another round of attacks.
…
On the other side, at Enshi Airport.
"An'an, he really refuses to pick you up at the airport."
"It's in vain that you brought him so many delicious foods."
"It's bacon, oily fragrance and Ge Xian rice."
Looking at the gentle An Xi, An Yan felt a little angry.
An Qin is such a good girl, with good looks, a good figure and a good personality. Why did she end up with a poor boy like Lu Xiaoning? Lu Xiaoning is really not worthy of An Xi.
Li Gang also echoed An Yan: "An Xi, Ning Ren really doesn't trust you."
After speaking, he glanced at his cousin He Feng and said: "If you were my cousin's girlfriend, why wouldn't I hold you in my hand? Not to mention picking someone up at the airport, it wouldn't be a problem to pick someone up directly in Enshi." , cousin, right?"
He Feng was still a bit discerning and knew not to add fuel to the fire at this time, so he just laughed.
An Xin's delicate and pretty face was already covered with frost, but for the sake of her good sister An Yan, she didn't have an attack. She just excused herself from feeling uncomfortable and went to the massage chair next to her to close her eyes and rest.
An Xin has a good personality, but that doesn't mean she has no temper.
If anyone touches her reverse scales, An Qin will also be angry, and she will be very angry.
And Lu Xiaoning is An Qin's rival. She will fight with anyone who dares to speak against Lu Xiaoning, not even her best friends.
But considering that An Yan and Li Gang had just gotten engaged not long ago, if she embarrassed Li Gang now and made him unable to step down, he would vent his anger on An Yan later, so An Qin endured it.
As soon as he sat down, the phone in his bag vibrated again.
I picked it up and saw that it was the boss of the company calling, so I quickly answered the call.
"Sister Yu, the flight has been delayed. I'm still at Enshi Airport."
"What, the company decided to develop short drama business, and it is a costume drama?"
"You want me to meet at Xiangshan Film and Television City overnight? Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, Anqi was both happy and a little worried. She was happy that the company was finally going to try shooting short plays. As an assistant to the art director, she had another stage to show off, and the corresponding income would also increase accordingly. The dream of buying a house and settling down in Yincheng is getting closer.
But what worries her is that the gap between her and her boyfriend is even wider.
In the past six months, although her boyfriend didn't say anything, she could feel his anxiety. On the one hand, he didn't want to give up his familiar design work, but on the other hand, he wanted to give her as good a life as possible, so the whole person It became very contradictory and awkward.
After thinking about it for a while, An Xi still called Lu Xiaoning.
However, the phone rang for a long time and Lu Xiaoning did not answer it.
An Xin didn't pay much attention, he must have been fascinated by playing his game again.
I thought it would be the same to tell him when I got home. Anyway, after arriving in Yincheng, I had to go home first, and then rush to Xiangshan Film and Television City to meet the team.
