Chapter 425 Tongguan Showdown

In the Turkic barracks, many generals discussed the details of the attack on Chang'an. As a deputy, Xiao Ran is the only one allowed to participate in the meeting. The remaining nine people are generals with the same official positions as Xue Ling. Although he is only a deputy, these commanders also have to admire Xiao Ran's means.

The use of Thunderbolt flares and "God Fire Raven" has greatly improved the speed of propulsion, and the death and injury has also been reduced to the lowest point. Coupled with his various suggestions, compared with the first half of the military division, no one is disrespectful because he is a judge. The Turkic Khan also adopted a lot, although some of them seemed very difficult to understand, and the benefits were indeed obvious.

A young general said, "I remember that Xia Shuangtian attacked Chang'an from Luoyang. It seems that we are going to take the old road of Xia Shuangtian. It's hard to break the Tong Pass!" This person is about the same age as Xiao Ran, and he is also a prince who is highly valued by the Turkic Khan. The record is second only to Xue Ling.

A senior general said, "Our current situation is much better than that of Xia Shuangtian, and it was a special period, and Xia Shuangtian was carefully laid out. This natural danger is really difficult to overcome. It is impossible to learn from Xia Shuangtian and spend a few years crossing the Qinling Mountains on foot.

Tongguan Tianji, there are mountains on both sides, and the number of people who can pass each time is limited. Not to mention 200,000 troops, even 2,000 soldiers and horses used to be like bamboo tubes. Even if there is a firearm led by Commander Xiao, it can't reduce the difficulty of attack.

"Maybe the situation is not so bad." The Turkic Khan suddenly said.

Everyone was shocked, and a general wondered, "Has Khan come up with a way?" Even if the remaining troops are invested, there will definitely be a lot of casualties if they attack from the remaining gates. Although we cut off the supplies in the south of the Yangtze River, the supply behind Jiangnan Road and Jiannan Road is enough for Chang'an to persist. Why didn't Khan let us take advantage of the victory to attack Chang'an, but searched around Henan Province? Does it have anything to do with this?

Xue Ling said, "This is my second brother's idea. He has figured out a way, so you don't have to worry."

"Xiao Ran?" Everyone looked at the silver-haired teenager in the corner and was puzzled. I don't know what's new this time. Seeing that Khan believes in him so much, he should be sure.

Xiao Ran said, "As long as the materials collected are enough, they should be able to be produced."

Although they don't know what Xiao Ran is talking about, they are all curious. Looking at glasses, firearms, improved carriages... At least the things that came out of Xiao Ran's hands look a little strange and practical.

The people returned to the tent after the meeting, and Xue Ling was also puzzled. I couldn't help asking, "Second brother, don't sell it. What the hell is the way? We specially went to Henan Road to collect enough cattle and sheep skins from the prairie and all the occupied areas. What's the use of grabbing so many women doing needlework? Why do you think this has no connection with the war?

Xiao Ran picked up an extremely thin brush and outlined it on the paper and modified it from time to time. He even listed a lot of things that were fundamentally different, and did not raise his head and said, "It's the same method as Xia Shuangtian's first way to cross the Hangu Pass: dark Chencang!" Xue Ling only used these things when he saw his second brother at the Longteng event. It seems that he is calculating something this time.

"There is not enough time at all. How can the method used by Xia Shuangtian not prevent it? How did you convince the Khan?

Xiao Ran often breathed a sigh of relief, put down the brush in his hand and looked at the heavy parchment paper and said, "It's finally finished. It should be enough to make it before the army sets out. Just take care of it."

Xue Ling took the parchment, which looked like an egg, and there was a big basket hanging underneath. Both the painter and the aesthetic are ugly. I really can't imagine how this thing has anything to do with attacking Tongguan. He said, "Can this thing kill people?"

"I can't."

"Can it enhance the attack power of the army?"

"I can't."

Xue Ling said speechlessly, "What's the use of those two taking so long?"

Xiao Ran smiled and said, "It's just a means of transportation. It's not usually used, but now it's the most suitable."

Xue Ling said, "Transportation? Can you pass the Tongguan Pass with this? I think it's slower than horse riding, not to mention horseback. It shouldn't be able to transport too many people."

Xiao Ran nodded and said, "You are right, but its only advantage is enough to cover up all the flaws. It can carry people in the sky!"

"Flighting in the sky?" No matter how whimsified Xue Ling is, his mind can't jump to this extent. People are not birds and have wings. How can they fly? Can this big guy fly to the sky? Seeing that the second brother didn't look like a joke, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. If so, then Tongguan is really expected to be broken in a short time.

The knowledge system is complex and can never be explained in a moment. If it hadn't been for this special terrain, Xiao Ran would never have wanted a hot air balloon to "smuggling". Whether this tool can be used or not, we have to wait for the first finished product to be tested. It can also be regarded as a learning for use. Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor for the time being.

Xue Ling frowned and said, "Second brother, according to the detective, the eldest brother and the "Heavenly Punishment" alliance are all guarded in Tongguan. You'd better not show up then. Murong Yunfeng's affairs have completely pulled you to the opposite side with them.

Xiao Ran shook his head and said, "There is no turning back from the first step. Even if I don't show up, I can't change the fact that I defected to the Turks. You don't have to worry about it."

"I'm afraid of you and my eldest brother..." Xue Ling sighed. Xiao Ran did not tell the truth of the matter, and I'm afraid Yang Fan will not understand this time. The sworn brothers who once lived and died together now have to meet each other on the battlefield. The deeper the feelings, the more obvious the hatred will be. Except for the eldest brother Yang Fan, an angry Taoist priest, Ren Xiaoyao, Mo Aichen, Ye Ningxue... These people can't be soft when they meet anyone. Even if Xiao Ran wants to show mercy, the other party will never care about the past.

Xiao Ran said in a sumpy tone: "This has been expected for a long time, and it will come one day. Do you know why the second brother helps the Turks? Not only the Turks are strong, but also for you.

"Because of me?" Xue Ling was stunned.

Xiao Ran said, "Yes, you should know about Khan and your biological mother. But among many princes. What he owes the most is you.

"What does it matter?" Xue Ling just didn't understand what the second brother wanted to say.

"The world needs peace, although others understand this concept. Because the Turks are hostile to the Han people. It is impossible to put aside their opinions. After all, the Turkic Khan is not young, and all of them must have the right candidates. In this subjugation of Daxia, you have made outstanding achievements, and the Turkic Khan's guilt towards your mother. I want to help you become emperor!"
