The three thousand elites galloped on the main road.
The black flag was waving in the wind. It was Li Rui's flag, and he could recognize that the commander was the Great Tang's Prince Liang.
Chang 'an's officialdom was shaken. No one expected Li Rui to lead troops to drive away the Tibetan soldiers.
Right Prime Minister's Office.
Lin Jiulang laughed coldly." You're still wet behind the ears. How dare you learn to lead an army like others? Inform Protector-General Tang not to let him return alive."”
"Here!"
The Head Butler of the Prime Minister's Residence turned around and went out to settle this matter.
Shi Zuo and the others were also trying to find ways to make Li Rui unable to return to Chang 'an alive.
The army marched day and night.
Li Rui galloped his horse without rest, and Cao Cao followed him and said,"My lord, you don't have to worry. We will definitely win the battle of Beacon Fort. With Zhong Da by our side, Er 'Lai and Zilong as the generals, it won't be a problem for us to take down a small Beacon Fort!”
"Beacon Fort is easy to defend but hard to attack.”
Li Rui was familiar with the situation at Beacon Fort.
The three hundred people in the fort could easily block three thousand enemies. It would not be easy to break through.
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said,"My lord, do not worry. Zilong is willing to be the vanguard."”
Sima Yi knew that Li Rui wanted to lead the army, and he wanted to rule over a region in the future. Only then would he have the power to compete with Li Longji.
Otherwise, Li Rui would have no foundation, and his life would be in the hands of Li Longji.
Once Li Longji had the intention to kill, he could put Li Rui to death with a crime!
However, if Li Rui became the regional commander and ruled over a region with hundreds of thousands of elites, no one in the court would dare to touch the Great Tang's Prince Liang!
"System, I want to conquer Tibet. Please give me some reaction!" Li Rui said softly.”
"Ding! The system has detected a change in the host's living environment. Opening the Empire page!”
"The Great Tang Empire's page has been opened, and the system store has been opened. For every enemy killed by the host and his subordinates, the system will record it as 1 Merit Point.”
"Merit points can be used for a lottery draw and can be used to purchase items from the mall!”
The system opened the mall and Li Rui saw a dazzling array of goods.
In the medicine section, there were amoxicillins, cefastine, bezoar detoxification tablets, and so on.
In the weapons area, there were armors, black crossbows, and chariots.
The prices went from high to low.
Li Rui flipped his hand and took out a red card. Previously, the system had drawn ninety-nine consecutive cards. Other than drawing nine God cards, there were other miscellaneous items.
The red card disappeared, and a black crossbow appeared in Li Rui's hand. It was not made of wood, but seemed to be made of black gold.
"A black gold battle crossbow forged from black iron. Its range is seven hundred meters. It has been lost for a hundred years in the Secret Luban Record!" Zhao Yun exclaimed.”
"The range of our Tang Army's crossbows is 200 meters, and the lethality is the strongest within 100 meters.”
The soldiers beside him were a little jealous.
The range of the Black-Gold Battle Crossbow was so long that the enemy would not even be able to touch your face before they would be pierced to death by thousands of arrows.
This crossbow only cost 1 Merit Point in the Merchant Shop.
Li Rui had already led his troops into the territory of the Anxi Protectorate and arrived at a majestic ancient city.
The four towns of Anxi were all under the command of the current Anxi Protector-General, Tang Jiahui.
Li Rui led his troops into the city to rest.
Tang Jiahui was in charge of the tax and military power of nearly 300 square kilometers of land.
Here, the heavens were high and the emperor was far away. As Protector-General, Tang Jiahui was like a local tyrant.
In other words, this person might not put Li Rui in his eyes!
Tang Jiahui was wearing a purple robe and said loudly,"Prince Liang has arrived. Sorry for not welcoming you!"
"No need. Prepare some food. After resting for two hours, I want to take down Beacon Tower.”
Li Rui refused to enter the city.
This was Sima Yi's suggestion.
Previously, in Chang 'an, Li Rui had offended many important ministers of the court, and Lin Jiulang and Tang Jiahui had a good relationship.
Once they enter the city, Li Rui will be killed.
Tang Jiahui felt awkward." Prince Liang hasn't stopped traveling day and night. It's better to rest. We'll discuss the Beacon Fort tomorrow."”
Li Rui looked on coldly.
Tang Jiahui snorted coldly." You don't know how to appreciate favors. Beacon Fort is easy to defend but difficult to attack. You want to take it down with just 3,000 tired soldiers? Dream on!"”
"There's no need for Protector-General Tang to worry."
Cao Cao replied.
Tang Jiahui had people send food, and the whole army rested in front of the city gate.
Sima Yi whispered," My Lord, this place is less than 30 miles away from Beacon Fire Castle. There's something wrong with this person for him to throw Beacon Fire Castle away right under his nose."”
"That's why I don't enter the city."
Li Rui dismounted from his horse and looked at the soldiers burying pots and cooking rice. He took out ten packets of white salt and threw them over.
Salt was a necessity in ancient times.
Moreover, this was the modern fine salt that Li Rui had drawn earlier.
Cao Cao said in surprise,"What fine salt!"”
"Divide them all."
Li Rui looked at the boiling mutton in the pot. After adding fine salt, the soldiers wolfed it down.
Everyone ate and drank their fill and rested for two hours.
Li Rui mounted his horse and headed straight for Beacon Tower.
After taking down Beacon Tower in seven days, it took them almost four days to travel.
Time was running out. Li Rui led his troops and quietly arrived ten miles away from Beacon Tower. He looked at the defense line that was built in the distance. It was like a defense line that was like a Great Wall.
The city was seven meters tall and extremely thick. It was a slope with a mountain behind it.
It was indeed a naturally dangerous place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
In the distance, Tang Jiahui led 20,000 elites and suddenly stopped 50 miles away.
Cao Cao was furious.”
"Lord, we should retreat!"
Sima Yi was also shocked and furious.
Tang Jiahui was a wolf with wild ambitions. She didn't lead her troops to help Li Rui attack the city, but to kill Li Rui!
On the Beacon Fort, 500 Tibetan soldiers saw Tang Jiahui's troops from afar. Tens of thousands of elite soldiers were pointing their swords at them.
The Tibetan centurion of Beacon Fort said in fear,""Quickly inform General Qin Ling that the tens of thousands of elite Tang soldiers are besieging Beacon Tower.”
For a time, Beacon Fortress was in chaos.
The disparity in strength was too great, and they could not defeat them at all.
"We must take down Beacon Tower today!" Li Rui said indifferently.”
"My Lord, Tang Jiahui has led tens of thousands of elites to warn the Tibetan army. It will definitely attract more than ten thousand Tibetan troops to help. At that time, we will be attacked from both sides and will be in a desperate situation!”
Cao Cao tried his best to stop him, but Sima Yi tried his best to persuade him.
"Tang Jiahui used the Tubo people's hands to kill me, so she can give Lin Jiulang an explanation."”
"Then why didn't my lord retreat?" Cao Cao was shocked.
"Zhao Yun, Dian Wei!" Li Rui said coldly.”
"I'm here!"
Zhao Yun held her spear at the side, and Dian Wei answered.
" You guys stay on my flanks and attack Beacon Fort!" Li Rui said decisively." Don't delay for even a moment. Charge!"”
"I accept your orders. Everyone, follow me and kill!”
Zhao Yun led the charge, brandishing his Long Dan Liang Silver Spear as he charged towards Beacon Fort.
Dian Wei led the crowd to the side and Li Rui was in the middle. A card appeared between his left fingers.
The sixth divine-level card, Lu Bu's Power!
After the purple card disappeared, Li Rui's aura changed drastically. He was like a tiger out of its cage as he roared,""Give me my halberd!"
A tiger roar startled everyone.
Zhao Yun threw an iron halberd over and shouted,""My lord!"
Swoosh!
Li Rui caught the iron halberd and leaped forward. The horse under him was stomped into the ground by a huge force, and it whined.
Li Rui jumped seven meters high. He was wearing silver armor and white clothes. His white cloak fluttered as if he was flying on the city wall.
This scene made the 3,000 soldiers 'eyes widen.
Tang Jiahui, who was far away, was even more stunned.
How could the descendants of the royal family, who had lived in luxury since young, have such powerful martial arts?!
This ability could even be called the brave champion of the three armies!
On Beacon Fort, the Tibetan centurion said in shock,""Shoot them! Kill them!"
Li Rui stood proudly on the city wall, his long halberd moving like the wind. He pierced the heart with his spear and killed the centurion. He roared coldly,"I, the Great Tang's Prince Liang, how can you fight me!”
