"Shut up, all of you, and listen to the Han people across from me. If you can, come down and challenge me. If you can't, just stay away from me. Don't come out and embarrass yourself. You won't come out and challenge me." Pick, what are you still doing on the wall?
You are a man, so come down and challenge me. Do you have the guts? If you don¡¯t have the guts, just give it to me. Stay away from me. Don¡¯t be like a bitch, chirping incessantly. In one sentence, do you dare? If you dare not challenge me in a duel, just say it clearly. You are afraid of me, Ashtew Harper, and you think you are no match for me, Ashtew Harper. If you have any more self-awareness, just admit defeat and surrender to me. I Astew Harper, I will treat those who surrender favorably!
Now I, Ashdewu Harper, officially challenge Zhang Yang, the Han general opposite and the consort of the eldest princess of the Tang Dynasty. Zhang Yang, do you dare to challenge me?
If you are a man, you will come out of my male and female, and you dare not send me your princess without replying. I can consider asking you to meet you! "
For an arrogant person, the best way is to ignore him. As long as you don't directly interact with him, this kind of person will naturally reveal more flaws. And Zhang Yang and others' method of dealing with Astew Harper That's it, not answering him directly, just complaining to him.
No, after seeing that what he said first had no effect, Astew Harper's provocation method came again.
But now Ashtew Harper's provoking method is more obvious than before. People can tell at a glance that Ashtew Harper is no longer as calm as before, and is now in a state of rage. It is unclear whether this was a way to provoke the general or a way to vent his anger.
However, although Qin Liyan and others seemed to have entered a state of rage now, Ashdewu Harper could step forward and try his skills.
In addition, this time Astew Harper used the provocative method. Moreover, Zhang Yang's fiancee, Princess Li Mingyu, the eldest daughter of the current Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, was involved, which made everyone angry. The concept of a king degrading his ministers has been circulating for countless years.
However, as the person involved, Zhang Yang is now very calm, although he is also a little annoyed. After all, Astew Harper's words involve his fianc¨¦e. This is something that a man would be angry about, not to mention the human rights of future generations. Where is Zhang Yang from the society!
However, Zhang Yang still knew quite rationally that this was Ashdewu Harper's method of provoking generals, and in fact, the venomous performance he and Qin Liyan just performed can be said to be a kind of provoking method, so although he was a little annoyed. But it's still relatively sensible.
He knew that although Ashdewu Harper was a little angry now, the degree of his anger was still within his tolerance. If he went down to challenge him now, although Zhang Yang was 100% sure, this was not the case. Will it take more effort?
??Besides, his first task now is to defend the city, guard Xiao Pass, the throat of the East Turks' south pass, and prevent the East Turks' troops from passing by. At least they don't recognize their large army passing by. Even with a small army, it won't be of much use even if they cross the Liupanshan Mountains.
As the throat of the Eastern Turks going south, Xiaoguan is located at the end of the Liupanshan Mountains. In addition to entering Xiaoguan from now on, you have to detour through several states and enter the Guannai Road from the northeast of Chang'an. Chang'an is dangerous, not to mention the distance, and there are many checkpoints along the way.
With the current situation of the East Turkic Army, it is impossible to choose another route to attack Chang'an from other directions.
So Zhang Yang knew very well that his first task now was to guard Xiao Pass and prevent the Eastern Turkic troops from passing by.
As for the Eastern Turks going through the Liupanshan Mountains, avoiding Xiaoguan, entering the interior of the Tang Dynasty, and attacking Chang'an, that is even more impossible.
Not to mention the 200,000 Eastern Turkic cavalry, after entering the mountain forest, it was difficult to move through such a large area of ??primitive deep forest with the horses. , not to mention that they now have more than 200,000 war horses. This situation does not allow them to abandon their horses and walk into the mountains.
It was the stupid Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks who asked his large troops to give up their horses and cross the Liupanshan Mountains on foot. Even if they crossed over, they would not have much combat effectiveness. Who called them cavalry? The cavalry did not It's not that you can't afford a horse, you become an infantryman.
The training methods and weapons of the full-time infantry and cavalry are different. In addition, even if they become infantry, they are only 200,000 light infantry, and they are still light infantry who are short of soldiers and food. Facing the Tang Dynasty, When cavalry and heavy infantry are encircling and suppressing, it is debatable how much combat effectiveness they can have!
What¡¯s more, whether this 200,000-strong army can pass through the Liupanshan Mountains is a problem. You must know that this large area is virgin forest!
Liupan Mountain is a mountain range in western China. The southern section is called Longshan, which is a long and narrow mountainous area running nearly north-south. The ridge is over 2,500 feet above sea level.It is 2,942 meters tall, with the highest peak of Migang Mountain reaching 2,942 meters. Another peak on its north side is also called Liupan Mountain, reaching 2928 meters. The mountain road is winding, dangerous and narrow, and you have to go through six winding roads to reach the top, hence the name. The eastern slope of the mountain is steep and the western slope is gentle.
The annual average temperature is 5.8 degrees Celsius, the annual precipitation is 676 millimeters, and the annual average relative humidity is 60 to 70 percent. It is an important water conservation forest base in the northwest. This is the juncture of the farming culture of the Central Plains and the nomadic culture of the north. It is a must-pass place on the northern route of the eastern section of the ancient Silk Road, and it is also a military fortress that military strategists of all ages have fought for.
There has always been a saying in Liupan Mountain that "spring passes and autumn comes, and there is no midsummer." The main peak, Mi Gang Mountain, is 2,942 meters above sea level. When you climb up to the main peak, you can see the morning fog and the vast sea of ??clouds. When the sun rises and the clouds open, you can see endless mountains, green trees and flowers in spring, and clear sky and earth; summer is cool and pleasant, and the scenery is unique; autumn leaves are all over the mountains and the forests are dyed; winter is snow-covered and the fields are covered in silver.
Liupan Mountain is majestic, towering and straight, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. It has always been known as "the mountain is three thousand feet high in Taihua, and it is dangerously located in the Qinguan Pass 200 feet high." Under the long-term internal and external forces, Liupan Mountain has formed a strongly cut mid-mountain landform with an altitude of High, with a relative height of more than 400 meters. Among them, the relative height of Liangdian Gorge is more than 500 meters, and the cliffs in the canyon are extremely steep.
At the same time, these topographic features cause the streams in the canyon to intersect. Whenever the water reaches a steep drop, it will fall into a waterfall or fall to the ground to form a pool. Various water landscapes such as pools, waterfalls, springs, streams, and streams are formed. Its vegetation types include both horizontal zonal forests and grasslands, as well as vertical vegetation landscapes consisting of low mountain meadow grasslands, broad-leaved mixed forests, coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forests, and broad-leaved dwarfs that appear in the vertical spectrum of mountain vegetation. . Seasonal changes in plant communities.
It shows people the constantly changing combination of natural beauty of Liupan Mountain, and at the same time shows people the change of time sequence, making people feel the continuation of time and the flow of time. Liupan Mountain is also a natural zoo. There are leopards, forest musk deer, golden pheasants, spoon pheasants and golden eagles. Birds and beasts appear and disappear by the stream in the forest, and colorful butterflies fly among the flowers, which together form a dynamic and beautiful natural landscape that makes people forget to leave.
The east slope of Liupanshan Mountain is steep and the west slope is gentle. . The precipitation is slightly higher than that of the surrounding plateau, and there are small pine forests on the high mountains. The rest is grassland. The Qingshui River originating from the north side of the mountain flows to the north into the Yellow River, to the east is the upper reaches of the Jing River, and to the southwest is the water flowing into the Hulu River and then into the Wei River. The southern section of Longshan was called Longban in ancient times. It is about 100 kilometers long from north to south and has an altitude of about 2,000 meters. The steep mountains form the boundary between the Weihe Plain and the Longzhong Plateau.
And Xiaoguan is located on the edge of the eastern foot of Liupan Mountain. It is a steep section of the mountain that is even more difficult to climb. Even the old hunters who have lived near Xiaoguan for many years cannot guarantee that they will be able to cross Liupan Mountain, let alone the second army led by Jieli Khan of the East Turks. There's an army of 100,000 people.
And as mentioned earlier, evaporation is greater than rainfall. There are few catastrophic weather events throughout the year, and the annual average temperature is 5.8 degrees Celsius. The temperature in spring is low and relatively cold, the temperature in summer is low and there is little rain, and the temperature in summer is not high and there is a lot of hail for a short period of time, which is relatively cool. The temperature difference is large in autumn, and there are early rains and frosts. Winter is the longest and coldest.
In this late autumn season, if you want to enter Liupan Mountain, if you don¡¯t bring enough winter clothes to keep out the cold, then the low temperature will make the 200,000 troops of the East Turks die in the severe cold of Liupan Mountain¡¯s autumn night.
What's more, there are various other problems to face. As long as the 200,000 troops led by Eastern Turk Jieli Khan entered Liupan Mountain in their current state, Qin Shubao didn't need to send people to chase him. , all you need to do is guard the exit. Considering the harsh environment of Liupan Mountain at this time, it would be a blessing if only 50,000 of the 200,000 people who went in could come out alive.
Therefore, Zhang Yang is not worried at all that Xie Li Khan of the Eastern Turks will choose this dead end, knowing that there is no return. Instead, he will choose to fight against Xiao Pass. As long as Xiao Pass is broken, he can not only save a lot of time, but also get The replenishment of Xiaoguan's standing supplies can kill two birds with one stone!
This is not Zhang Yang's best choice if he keeps in mind that as long as he defends Xiao Pass, he will win. If he can delay a little more time, just delay a little more time. At the moment of provocation, Zhang Yang can kill him.
"Who is that mad dog outside the customs? I haven't heard of the bumpkin from Ashtew Harper.
Normally, I have some impression of all the generals under the Turkic Jieli Khan, but why don¡¯t I have the slightest impression of you as someone who deserves a beating?
For an unknown person like you, if you want to become famous by fighting with me, you are thinking too well. If you want me to take action, you must at least be a famous Turkic general. For example, the Turkic vanguard general Astir was killed by me. Only masters and famous generals like Cao Ni Ma have the status to let me take action.
With your obscure status, you probably won¡¯t have much status in the Turkic army.If I abide by this little brat's challenge, then I will have to be annoyed to death by you little brats who want to become famous by challenging me. So I have no interest in competing with you little guys. If I want to Challenge me, you should go back and practice more, wait until you become a Turkic general, now I will not accompany you!
Or that guy from outside the customs named Ashdeu Harper. Listen to me. Where did you come from? Get the hell back there now. I won¡¯t argue with you today. I want to beat my fianc¨¦e. Idea, you are far from qualified!
If you want to, then I will wait for you here. If you are able, you can lead troops to attack Xiao Pass and break through the Xiao Pass I guard. Then you may have a chance, but in my opinion, as long as you have nothing Troops, you attacked Xiaoguan just to give me credit! "
As Zhang Yang finished speaking, the soldiers in Xiaoguan Pass who had been aroused by Asdeu Harper finally released their anger without any scruples, and now they are in a happy mood. .
Just like what Zhang Yang said, what is this Astew Harper? If you want to challenge Zhang Yang, let me challenge you.
Then I also challenged your Turkic Jieli Khan to stand up for Zhang Yang, which is not impossible, but your status as Asdeu Harper is far from qualified. After all, as long as we Defend Xiao Pass, Xiao Pass is in hand, I think what can you Turks do?
If you don't break Xiaoguan, let's see how you go to Chang'an and want to capture our Princess Xiangcheng. That's your daydream of Asdeu Harper. We almost got angry at you Astew Harper. I fell into your trap. Fortunately, Captain Zhang was steady and reminded him in time. Thank God everyone thought of it.
At this time, Zhang Yang glanced at Qin Liyan again. Qin Liyan understood Zhang Yang's intentions very well.
"Captain Zhang, in my opinion, the clothes of Ashdeu Harper are the clothes of a thousand-man general of the Turks. It is said that there are three hundred generals who went south with the Turks' Jieli Khan this time. There are so many, this person must not be favored, so I came here to use you to become famous and compete for favor.
For such a small person, you don't have to pay attention to him at all. What's the use of just a thousand generals and heads? Just treat it as a mad dog biting everywhere. When he gets tired of biting, he will naturally go back. We'd better watch the show here! "
At this moment, Zhang Yang suddenly thought of something, and suddenly called everyone over and explained softly to everyone, and then saw dozens of Tang Dynasty captains above Xiaoguan nodding in understanding.
Then I heard that dozens of Tang Dynasty captains quickly disappeared on the city wall of Xiaoguan. At this time, only Zhang Yang and Ran Hongzhi, the guard of Xiaoguan, were left on the city wall. The others asked Qin Liyan , Yuwen Ruihao, Zhuge Haoqiong, Lezheng Junxiong, Nangong Hongbo, etc. are all missing.
At this time, Zhang Yang suddenly spoke to Zheng Zheng angrily and said something to Asdeu Harper, which made him happy and angry at the same time!
It turned out that Zhang Yang suddenly said: "Asdeu Harper, listen, now I have shown mercy and fulfilled your wish to challenge me. I will come out of seclusion immediately to challenge you to a one-on-one fight. We will fight to the death. Just wait!" "
After saying that, Zhang Yang ran towards the city wall!
