Chapter 244: Don't Break Your Hand
And the end is the westernmost territory of Tuyuhun, which, according to the maps of later generations, is already in Xinjiang.
Even if it is a Tuyuhun person, it is very hard to move here with a large army.
For the Tang Army, it was even more so.
Li Kuan stood in the middle of the team and slowly rode forward.
It is impossible to walk on the plateau all day long, and both men and horses cannot stand such a long-term and intense exercise.
So basically, the entire forward battalion was on horseback, going west step by step.
And Li Jing's army also followed, only a few dozen miles away.
Tang Jun's life is not good, and Fu Yun is not much better.
"Father Khan, or we surrender, the Tang army is pressing forward step by step, if they catch up with the end of the city, it will be too late."
Fu Yun's eldest son, Murong Shun, the king of Daning, is the son of Fu Yun and Princess Guanghua, the daughter of the Sui Dynasty, who has lived in the Great Sui for a long time and has a more correct understanding of the power of the Central Plains Dynasty.
"King Daning, along the way, didn't you hear what the people who fled from the various tribes said? The Tang army burned and looted so cruelly, they didn't want to leave us Tuyuhun at all, if they surrendered, the khan would definitely not be able to escape death. ”
The Heavenly Pillar King is the main battle faction of Tuyuhun, and he knows it very well. If Fu Yun surrenders, Datang will not let anyone let him go.
"King Tianzhu, the Han people have always paid attention to governing the world with benevolence and righteousness, as long as we surrender, the generals who lead the troops will never dare to kill innocents indiscriminately, otherwise those imperial histories will directly kill them."
"Benevolence? Which tribe do you think the scene of the fleeing tribe is in line with what you say about righteousness? ”
"If it weren't for last year, you instigated your father Khan to invade the Tang Dynasty frontier and detain the Tang envoys, how could you be today? Everything has a cause and effect, and you cause it. ”
"Ridiculous, are all the Han women snatched back under my account? Are all the slaves you snatched back working for me? Did I eat all the food that I snatched back? You don't stand and talk without backache, while enjoying the fruits of the invasion, while there to pluck. ”
"Enough!"
Seeing his eldest son arguing with his most trusted Heavenly Pillar King there, Fu Yun's face was extremely gloomy.
When he left Fu Qi City, Fu Yun brought more than 30,000 troops, and nearly 10,000 troops were gathered in the fiefdom of the Tianzhu King behind.
However, in order to make it more difficult for the Tang army to add, or to hope that the Tang army would be stopped halfway, Fu Yun had already left more than half of his men and horses at the various passes leading to Jimo.
In the end, when he came to fight the end of the city, he had less than 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands.
The soldiers and horses left at the various passes, in the face of the attack of the superior forces of the Tang Dynasty, had no power to fight back at all, basically the Tang army arrived on the same day, and the city was captured on the same day.
Of course, in the event of this kind of battle that requires siege, Li Kuan will naturally not stupidly let the forward battalion charge, which is equivalent to attacking the strengths of others with his own shortcomings.
Li Jing's army, but there are special baggage troops, and simple siege equipment can still be made.
In this way, in a hurry, in the middle of April, the army finally appeared near the end of the city.
"Chief, this is the last city of the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is an important pass for Tugu Hun to get out of the Western Regions, if you want to attack hard, the loss may be relatively large."
Li Daozong looked at the rare fortified city in Tuguhun in front of him, and his face was a little not very good-looking.
After this journey, the soldiers were actually quite tired, and even Li Daozong's own cheeks had frozen out of the plateau red.
"And although the last city is strong, it is only a small city after all, the grain and grass in the city are limited, and the Tuyuhun people are not good at defending the city, and it won't be long before they themselves will not be able to stand it first."
Li Jing said so in his mouth, but he was still a little worried in his heart, and he didn't know who would be able to survive whom.
"The chief manager, his subordinates have a plan to force the Tuyuhun people to fight."
Li Kuan personally went to the hot air balloon to see the situation in the city, and felt that in addition to waiting, he could still force it.
"Oh? What can you do? Li Jing's eyes lit up.
"The general manager must have heard that there is a hot air team under the last general, this Tuyuhun tens of thousands of troops retreated to the end of the city at once, and tents are set up everywhere, as long as the hot air team is arranged to throw fire oil bombs into the tent area, although it may not be able to burn many people, but it is enough to bring them huge pressure."
To this day, Li Kuan felt that there was no need to keep the oil bombs, and all of them were given to the end of the city.
"Okay, then you can give it a try."
Li Jing was a little disappointed, he knew that the forward battalion originally had more than 20 hot air balloons, but they were broken and broken, and now there are only a dozen that can really be used, and the number of fire oil bombs is also limited.
It's better than waiting there, though.
Just do it, Li Kuan soon let Zhu Fufu take the hot air team to the sky above the end of the city.
However, since the last city is basically a stone city, the houses inside are basically made of stone, except for those that are directly thrown into the tent, the power of the fire oil bomb is limited.
It was tossed like this for almost a day, and when the army came to the city gate again the next day and began the routine scolding, Fu Yun appeared on the city tower with a group of Tuyuhun ministers.
This is also the first time that the army has seen Fu Yun since the crusade against Tuyuhun.
"Xue Li, let you rush forward now, are you sure to shoot Fu Yun?"
Li Kuan stood in front of the formation, and when he saw the group of people on the city tower, he suddenly had a plan.
This Xue Li's archery skills are the clearest, it can be said that the Tang army is unparalleled, the bow used is a special five-stone strong bow, and the bow and arrow used by the general infantry army is a stone bow, and the cavalry only uses a seven-bucket bow, so you can imagine how powerful Xue Li's strong bow is.
As for some of them, they can say that they can open a ten-stone strong bow at every turn, and Li Kuan can only hehe.
To put it mildly, Xue Li's five-stone bow and the bow of ordinary soldiers are already equivalent to the difference between heavy sniper rifles and pistols in later generations, and no one would have thought that Xue Li could still hit the enemy with a distance of two or three hundred steps.
"Lord Wang, in the end, there will be fifty or sixty percent certainty that he can shoot, and if he can gallop forward for a distance, then he will be eighty percent sure."
Xue Li visually measured the distance and wind direction, and made a rough judgment in his heart.
"Then you let it go, and all the consequences will be borne by this king."
I didn't have time to discuss it with Li Jing specifically, in case Fu Yun stayed in the city tower for a while and went down, the opportunity would be gone.
Besides, in Li Jing's style, he doesn't like this way of shooting cold arrows, and Li Kuan is not so particular.
No matter how much you don't care about it, let's wipe out the Tugu first.
The system only said that Tuyuhun was going to be destroyed, but did not say that he must kill Fu Yun with his own hands, if such a good opportunity was missed, maybe when the time came, no one would dare to kill the prisoner, and then Li Shimin's brain cramped, maybe he would accept Tuyuhun's surrender again.
Then Li Kuan's fun will be great.
