Chapter 271: Attack and Defense

The decisive battle with Qinling at Mount Surokhan was personally chosen by Wang Xiaojie.

The lieutenant general of the Tang Army attaches great importance to the selection of the camp, and Wang Xiaojie, as a famous general of a generation, is of course no exception.

There is grass on the left side of the Surokhan Mountain, there is a flowing spring on the right, the back of the mountain is dangerous, it is easy to be flat, and it is accessible to the wood, which is conducive to the defense of the guards, and is convenient for the life of people and horses.

Wang Xiaojie divided the army he led into five armies, namely: the middle army, one army on the left and right, two armies on the left and right, and three battalions for each army.

The whole army centered on the large camp of the Chinese army, and arranged 12 barracks around the barracks of the Chinese army in different ways, and each battalion was arranged in a circular formation.

The reason why Wang Xiaojie arranged the formation like this was to cooperate with Lu Xiaoxian's plan.

Lu Xiaoxian told Wang Xiaojie that he didn't need him to attack Qinling, he only needed to drag Qinling here for a month to be done.

Attacking Qinling, Wang Xiaojie has no certainty of victory, but if he drags Qinling for a month, Wang Xiaojie is ten percent sure. Because of this, he specially arranged the circle formation that was most conducive to defense.

When Qin Ling led the army to arrive, looking at Wang Xiaojie's hedgehog-like car formation, he was also at a loss.

In the past, Qinling would not have needed to attack at all, but only need to surround the chariot array, cut off their food, grass and water sources, and win without a fight when the opponent's supplies are exhausted.

But now, Qin Ling can't do this, what he lacks most is time.

But no matter how urgent it is, Qin Ling can't rashly risk the lives of his soldiers to attack.

He put on a long snake formation that he was best at, and the whole army was divided into three parts: left, center, and right.

Qin Ling personally led the elite cavalry wearing tiger and leopard clothes as the Chinese army, and only those who had made military achievements in the Tubo army could wear tiger and leopard skin uniforms, and the combat effectiveness of the left and right armies was worse than that of the Chinese army.

After setting up the formation, Qin Ling ordered a tentative attack on the enemy's circle formation. Soon, the Tibetan attack ended in failure, leaving nothing to be gained except for the corpses left behind.

……

"What? More than 40,000 people were killed? ”

Inside the tent, Qin Ling listened to the report of the hateful water, was stunned for a moment, and then slapped the table and stood up.

Glancing at the thunderous hatred water, he cautiously replied, "Yes, all of them were killed, and not a single one was alive."

Stay! ”

After a long time, Qin Ling, who had always been calm and calm, scolded with red eyes and an unprecedented burst: "Bastard! Kilixu, this bastard, I can't wait to skin him! ”

Obviously, Qin Ling was really angry this time.

Qin Ling was not just angry, he was extremely angry.

But what's the use of anger?

These 50,000 Tuyuhun elite soldiers are the most loyal to Qinling's armed forces, and they are his real descendants.

For a long time, the Tuyuhun Iron Cavalry has been proud of Qinling.

But now, the elite soldiers he relied on the most were wiped out in an instant.

Qin Ling sat down dejectedly, closed his eyes and rubbed his temples.

He asked tiredly, "I'm afraid this matter has nothing to do with Lu Xiaoxian, right?" ”

"This matter really has nothing to do with Lu Xiaoxian!" Hatred said expressionlessly, "When Lu Xiaoxian and the Great Zhou army left, those captives were fine!" It was the hand of the people sent by Kilixu, and not a single prisoner was left! ”

Qin Ling muttered: "Zanpu, Zanpu, you are really ruthless, more than 40,000 soldiers, they have all made great contributions to Tubo!" ”

Qin Ling knew very well in his heart that without Zampu's support behind him, Qi Lixu would not have the courage to do such a thing.

After a long time, Qin Linghuo got up: "Pass my order, starting tomorrow, go all out to attack the Great Zhou's car formation." In addition, use all the guys we brought from Liangzhou City, and be sure to capture the car formation as soon as possible! ”

Qin Ling was ruthless, and Wang Xiaojie's pressure increased sharply.

He never dreamed that Qin Ling would use so many siege equipment to attack the car formation.

Rockets, crossbows, trebuchets, and hula roared into the array.

The circular formation is conducive to rejection and not conducive to attacking, and in addition to this, there is one of the biggest drawbacks, that is, it is not easy to change formations.

Under the blow of the incomparably powerful siege equipment, the shortcomings of the circular car formation were undoubtedly revealed, and the whole became a live target.

After a few rounds of blows, Qinling took advantage of the situation to let the cavalry attack, and although the two armies were in a stalemate for a while, it also made the Great Zhou army tired to deal with it.

Over the past few days, Wang Xiaojie suffered heavy casualties on both sides.

"Master Lu, if we continue like this, even if we can hold out for a month, I'm afraid of people

Dead! Wang Xiaojie couldn't help but complain.

Lu Xiaoxian didn't care and said: "As long as there is still one person left, we must persevere, as long as we can drag on for a month, we will be considered victorious!" ”

Wang Xiaojie was about to speak, but saw Lu Xiaoxian and said mysteriously: "Boss, come over with your ears, I'll tell you good news!" ”

Wang Xiaojie didn't know what Lu Xiaoxian meant, so he followed his words.

Lu Xiaoxian lowered his voice and said, "Last night I received a letter from Qili Xu's Flying Eagle......

"Is this true?"

Wang Xiaojie's eyes widened when he heard this.

Lu Xiaoxian nodded and said, "Of course it's true!" So, stick to it for a month no matter what! ”

"Good!" Wang Xiaojie patted his thigh and said, "In this case, Master Lu, just listen to you, even if I boil it, I will stay up for a month!" ”

Lou Shide looked at the two of them inexplicably and asked, "What are you two doing?" ”

"Elder Lou Ge, listen to me!" Wang Xiaojie excitedly attached to Lou Shide's ear and said, "Lu Gongzi received the Flying Eagle Summons last night......

Lou Shide listened, his eyes also flashed with excitement, he clapped his hands like a child and laughed: "My God, if this is the case, let alone a month, even a year, we must survive!" ”

What would make the three of them so happy?

It turned out that Qili Xu sent a message to Lu Xiaoxian Feiying and told him an astonishing news: a few days ago, when Tubo Zanpu Chidu Songtsen went out hunting with 3,000 escorts, and arrived near the fiefdom of the Gar family, Weibu Weida, Chidu Songtsan ordered the guards to besiege the manor of the Gar family. The Gar family was defenseless, and more than 2,000 members of the whole clan were killed, except for Qinling, Zanpo and Mangbuzhi who fought outside, the entire family was almost wiped out.

It seems that Tubo Zampu has shown his butcher knife without any scruples, and the situation between him and Qinling is endless. As long as Wang Xiaojie can delay Qinling here for a little longer, then the end of Qinling will not be far away.

After taking a reassuring pill here at Lu Xiaoxian, Wang Xiaojie knew it in his heart. No matter how fierce Qinling's attack was, Wang Xiaojie always firmly held the car formation, leaving Qinling with nothing to do.

In this way, as the days passed, the casualties on both sides increased, but Wang Xiaojie's car formation was never broken.
