Datang: Li Shimin begged me to rebel

Looking at the densely packed and extremely elite Tang cavalry, the Anda people were numb, especially the opponents were all heavy armored cavalry, which meant that they had no room to resist at all.

Ju Wentai's lips trembled a little on the horse. He felt that his hands were trembling and he couldn't hold the rein. He couldn't help but think of his continuous targeting of Datang in these years, and even made Li Shimin condemn him more than once.

When did Tangtangtian Khan lose face like this?Comparing my heart to my heart, if I was so humiliated by others, and then caught that person by myself...

Ju Wentai felt his hands and lips a little numb, he trembled his lips and wanted to say something, but he couldn't speak for a while, he felt his lips a little numb too, the noon sun was so hot, the sweat on his forehead kept dripping It flowed down, but he couldn't feel any warmth. Instead, he felt cold all over, and shivered a little.

There are some flowers in front of his eyes. The enemy's cavalry seems to have moved in the distance. Are they going to attack?An idea popped up in Ju Wentai's mind, some gold stars suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and then his eyes went dark, and then he fell off the horse.

The Anda people were also a little stupid. They never thought that Ju Wentai would fall off the horse. Among so many people, he fell directly from the horse. When Ju Wentai's guards reacted and helped him up, Ju Wentai was gone. breathed out.

The Turkic army sent by Gaochang and Yipidulu surrendered!And Ju Wentai...was frightened to death.

Anyway, he fell off the horse for no reason and died. It is impossible for a living person to fall off the horse, so he can only be scared to death.

It was An Shengan who led the team to intercept and kill him. He was also a little speechless. He never expected such a situation. The king of a country was scared to death?

"General, I still have some money waiting in Gaochang. I wonder if I can redeem myself?" Wang Jin, a general in Gaochang, said.

Almost the entire country of Gaochang is Han Chinese, and it is one of the few capitals in the Western Regions where Han people gather. Naturally, the surnames and the like are all Han Chinese.

"Gaochang is gone. As early as two days before you came here, my [-] cavalry from the Tang Dynasty had already bypassed your main force and completely surrounded Gaochang." Anshen curled his lips in disdain and said, just you With such strength, I don’t know where you have the courage to dare to challenge Datang?

"Ah?!" Wang Jin and the Anda people were dumbfounded. Tang actually had [-] troops already detoured to capture Gaochang?

This... means that the other party got the news that they wanted to attack Yiwu City?Or that Datang wants to attack Gaochang in advance? !

"Ah what! You Western Turks, and these countries in the Western Regions, have influenced our Datang to make money, you know?!" Anshen looked at Wang Jin with disdain, and said lightly.

He deeply remembers what his grandfather and General Li Daozong told him, some things he can know, but he can't say them to the outside world, and some things, you don't care if others believe it or not, but you must say it to the outside world!

"This... I wonder if the general can explain it?" An Shengan asked.

"What is unspoken is the literal meaning. You are blocking my Datang from making money. I don't care about your Western Turks and various countries in the Western Regions attacking each other, but you can't block my Datang from making money! So my Datang dispatch of troops this time is to calm down all the countries in the Western Regions, and not to affect our Datang's caravans going to Persia, Byzantium and other countries for trade!" Anshen said lightly.

Wang Jin: "..."

Anda: "..."

They were all a little speechless, and didn't know how to answer these words for a while. In their opinion, this reason was too nonsense.When did Datang consider these merchants? What does business or non-commercial have to do with your Datang court?

But if Datang insisted on saying that... there seemed to be nothing wrong with it!

So they can only be silent, otherwise what else?They are all prisoners.

After capturing these captives, Anshen felt that they did not move on, but waited where they were, because they knew that Li Daozong and An Xinggui were on their way, and they would meet him here and then head to Gaochang.

And Gaochang is the first step of Datang's action in the Western Regions this time, it can also be said to be the first example won, and it must be done well.

Li Daozong and the others have indeed set off, not only they have set off, but also the subsequent business firms that assist in the delivery of materials. The delivery of these materials is temporarily in charge of the first logistics army of the Tang Dynasty, which is from the first batch of urban management guards trained by Li Ke. , mobilized some manpower from it, and then integrated it.

A large number of retired government soldiers were recruited to work.

And they basically used carriages, pack horses, and camels to transport materials.Among them, there are quite a few carriages, but their carriages use new carriages.

A main bearing under the carriage, the wheels on both sides, etc. are all made of steel, and a shock absorbing measure composed of spring plates is also used under the carriage.And tires are used for the first time on the steel wheels on both sides.

However, this tire is naturally incomparable with the tires of later generations. It is made of solid Eucommia gum, but it uses some manufacturing methods of rubber tires of later generations, such as multi-layer pressing and various technologies.

It can only be said that some technologies are not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the process of invention and discovery. A player like Li Ke has a full set of technical books to deal with. Although modern rubber tires cannot be produced, at least compared to The first generation of rubber tires in history is not bad.

At least it doesn't have to start from the earliest rubber canvas inner tubes in the original history.

The lifespan of these tires cannot be compared with that of later generations, but compared with pure steel wheels for walking, it actually reduces a lot of vibration, allowing the carriage to have a certain shock absorption capacity, and the goods on the carriage will not shake more due to bumps. Vigorous, it is equivalent to saving effort.

Of course, the most important invention here is the invention of sealed bearings and balls. Although there is no synthetic lubricating oil, only animal fat, but in any case, it is not a bit less labor-saving than the previous wooden bearings.

Therefore, the current horse-drawn carriage not only carries more goods, but also travels faster, and has a stronger ability to adapt to the terrain, which naturally saves more animal power.

It is no exaggeration to say that the superposition of these buffs has made Datang's current land transportation capacity at least ten times higher than before.

And the vast Gobi Desert in the Western Regions is sometimes easier to walk than the mainland.
