Chapter 368: Urging the City

Budaze calmed down and quickly summoned the commanders of all the ministries to assign military affairs to stabilize the city's defenses.

Among the 100,000 soldiers and horses borrowed by Budaze, 40,000 were from the Lhasa royal family and 40,000 from the Ali royal line, and the remaining small and medium-sized tribes gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses.

Last night, the grain and grass were burned, and the army surrounded outside the city, everyone knew that they had fallen into the trap, and the general of the Lhasa king's army, Cred, broke out on the spot, pointed at Budaze's nose and cursed.

Budaze was already full of anger, and when he was scolded by Chide, he pulled out his waist knife and was about to chop Chide.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Fulai of the Ali royal family hurriedly grabbed Budaze.

Seeing this, Chide immediately pulled out his scimitar and wanted to have a fight with Budaze.

Seeing this, the leading generals of several other tribes hurriedly hugged Chide.

While pulling Budaze stiffly, Fury turned his head and persuaded Chide to stop talking: "Zampu, generals, the Xixia dog is planning to frame us. Now that the enemy is present, if we mess with ourselves, wouldn't it be cheaper for Xixia dogs! ”

Chide was persuaded by everyone, thinking that he couldn't fight Budaze after all, so he stopped.

Budaze draws a knife and slashes people, half of it is true, half of it is acting. Since the goal was achieved, he also got off the donkey down the slope, put the waist knife back into the sheath, held Fry's hand and said, "Thank you, general, for distinguishing between right and wrong!" ”

After speaking, Budaze arched his hand to everyone: "Everyone, it was designed by the Xixia dog, and the fault lies in me Budaze." After we return to Tibet, in addition to the original cost of borrowing troops, I will personally pay for the subsidies to the generals. ”

Except for Budaze, everyone present was the commander of the army of various tribes, so they all had a bit of brains. Since the matter has come to this point, it is impossible to start infighting and let the enemy take advantage of it for nothing. In any case, at least for the moment, we must be united. After successfully returning to Tibet, you can still harvest gold and silver from Budaze, so why not.

After pacifying the people, Budazar began to consult with them about how to defend the city. With the composition of the coalition forces, it is impossible to want to unify the dispatch. After some deliberation, Cred led his headquarters to guard the west gate, Foley led his headquarters to guard the south gate, and the east gate and the north gate were both in charge of Budaze. The rest of the small and medium-sized tribes, according to their own goodwill on weekdays, choose the people to help.

After the task was assigned, everyone took their places and rushed to the city.

Budaze looked at the backs of Cred and Fry, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously sneered. When assigned the task of defending the city, Cred and Fry desperately tried to grab the west and south gates, and Budaze fought for it, but finally compromised.

Stupid, where do you think the Xixia dog heavy army will be in line!

With a sense of intellectual superiority, Budaze came to the north of Xining City to observe the enemy situation outside the city.

Five miles outside the city, the black cavalry array, the platoon is neat, and it is estimated that there are at least seventy or eighty thousand. What was puzzling to Budazer was that the enemy did not seem to have the slightest intention of attacking the city, but instead set up camp in the rear.

These Xixia dogs, what kind of medicine are sold in the gourd?

Budaze looked at the city in the north for half an hour, and saw that there was no movement outside the city, so he went down the city gate and hurried to the east of the city. When I arrived in the east of the city, I saw that it was still the same situation.

Time flickered, and it was lunchtime. At this time, it was still dog days, the sun in Xining at noon was quite poisonous, and Budaze saw that there was nothing abnormal outside the city, so he simply returned to the Shuaifu and enjoyed the shade.

At nightfall, the gates on all sides reported that the enemy troops outside the city did not move, but seemed to be sleeping peacefully in the camp, and there was no sign of attacking the city.

These Xixia dogs are trying to trap us in this Xining city!

During the day, Budazar had this guess, and in the evening he became more determined.

"Please invite the generals of Fulai and Chide to come to the Shuaifu to discuss matters!" Budaze thought about it and decided to agree on a strategy overnight.

The generals of all the tribes rushed to the palace when they heard the order, but only Chide took it slowly and leisurely, and only arrived at the Shuaifu after a quarter of an hour.

Budaze frowned, and wanted to scold.

Seeing this, Fury coughed heavily, and then snorted at Budazenu.

Budazel suppressed his anger, glanced at Cred, and then announced that the proceedings would begin.

Budaze first asked the crowd questions about what they had seen and heard in the defense of the city today.

Great calamity is at the head, even if it is Cred vs. Buda

Ze is not convinced, and he will not deliberately cause trouble. After everyone told the city about the situation they had observed, there was almost no need for Budaze to remind them, and everyone understood what the Tangut people were having.

At this moment, there was a burst of singing outside. Budazer frowned, and ordered to find out where the singing was going.

After a while, the soldiers returned, and the singing came from outside the city.

Budaze slammed the teacup to the ground: "Damn the Xixia dog! ”

Everyone didn't understand what they meant, and Budaze took a few deep breaths to suppress his anger and told the story of the embattled.

Cred, Frye and others understood that this was a song to break the fighting spirit of their own soldiers. They scolded angrily in unison, and with the not rich vocabulary of the Tibetan people, they all scolded for a full meal.

Everyone scolded until their mouths were a little dry, and then they stopped.

After the anger is gone, everyone look at me, I look at you, and the rest is panic.

Among the generals in command, Fry's martial arts are mediocre, but his mind is outstanding. He saw that everyone was panicking, and even Budaze didn't have any ideas, so he took the initiative to speak: "Zampu, brothers, judging from the next one, the situation is not so bad." ”

Budaze happily asked, "What is the general's plan?" ”

"There is a saying in the Han art of war, ten are to surround it, five to attack it, and to divide it if it is doubled. The Xixia dog wants to surround us to death in this Xining city, but how many soldiers and horses do they have! ”

Everyone suddenly realized that they were in a panic, mainly because they were deceived into entering the city, and the grain and grass in the city were burned, which made it seem that the six gods had no master. As soon as De Flley said this, the people made an estimate of the number of enemy troops outside the city, and they were convinced.

The enemy army in the north of the city is about 70,000 to 80,000, and the east of the city is about the same, and there are only about 50,000 in the south of the city, and there seem to be even fewer in the west of the city. In this way, the total number of Xia troops outside the city did not exceed 250,000.

With the national strength of Western Xia, the estimated number of soldiers and horses outside the city can almost be regarded as the strength of the country, even if there is a backhand, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Ten sieges, Xixia Dog doesn't even have twice the troops, what to use to besiege the city!

As soon as the Western Xia was founded, there were wars with Tibet from time to time, and the two sides fought a lot, but they only won and lost each other. Since it was found that there was not much difference in the strength of the troops, everyone was afraid, and Budaze was even more thinking about how to break the enemy and win.

For the side inside the city, it is completely possible to concentrate superior forces and surprise the weak side of the enemy's defenses. After forming a victory, drive the defeated army to the other three sides.

In this way, not only can the game be broken, but also a big victory can be expected!

Budaze expressed his thoughts, and everyone's eyes lit up, and Chide was even more excited, shouting that he wanted to kill all the Xixia dogs and rob all their.

Budaze roared: "Early tomorrow morning, we will kill cattle and sheep, so that the sons and daughters will be full of food and have a big job!" ”

"the Tangut dogs! Capture Li Zunwei alive! ”

Fulai Laocheng was serious, and finally reminded Budaze that he should test it first to see if there was still an ambush for the Xixia dogs.

The people deliberated carefully and decided on a strategy to attack the west.

The eastern, southern, and northern gates were each guarded by 10,000 horses. 100,000 heavy troops were deployed in the west of the city, mainly by the alliance of various tribes, and 10,000 troops were sent out to make a tentative attack, if the remaining three sides of the Xia army failed to come to the aid in time, the remaining 90,000 troops poured out of the nest and broke the Xia army in the west first.

In addition, Budaze led the elite of the headquarters to 50,000 and responded in the middle. If there is a void in the east, south, and north of the Xia army because of the aid to the west, he will either choose the empty side to kill, or wait for the reinforcements to arrive and then kill from the west gate, and make a flanking attack.

Early the next morning, 2,000 cattle and sheep were slaughtered in the city, and after the whole army had eaten a full meal, they proceeded according to the plan.

It stands to reason that the tactics discussed by Budazar and others are almost perfect. It's just that what they didn't expect was that the army outside Xining City was not the only one in Xixia.

After Yan Kang successfully fooled Budaze, he ordered the army that was originally on standby on the Jinxia border to advance into Western Xia. At this time, outside Xining City, there were 150,000 Xia troops and 100,000 Jin troops.

The north and east of the city have the largest number of troops, both of which are dominated by the Xia army, with Tuoba Ye and Li Quanzhong as the main generals, and Wan Yankang sent 10,000 elite cavalry on each side as a countermeasure.

There are 50,000 gold troops in the south, mainly Ye Siming

Will.

The west has the least number of soldiers and horses, only in the early 30,000s, but Wan Yankang himself is in charge.

As soon as the gate of Xining opened, 10,000 cavalry poured out and lined up outside the city. When Wan Yankang opened the city gate, he ordered the whole army to be on alert, and seeing that there were only 10,000 enemy troops out of the city, he had no intention of moving at all, and only said to Tian Dali on the side: "Dali, take the men and horses of the headquarters and destroy them." ”

Tian Dali happily accepted the order, put on the iron armor, picked up the Zen staff, and led his troops to run out of the camp to line up.

As soon as Tian Dali left, Wan Yankang sent two battalions of light cavalry as his wings to escort.

After the first battle of Zhongxing and the destruction of the Iron Harrier, Wan Yankang turned out the remaining iron armor in the Western Xia arsenal, re-equipped the elite and horses, and equipped 4,000 men and horses.

Of these 4,000 heavily armed cavalry, Wan Yankang thought that the name of the Iron Harrier was not good, so he renamed it Destroying the City. Four thousand destroyed the city, and Wanyan Kang divided it into four battalions, one of which was led by Tian Dali.

What is more embarrassing is that Tian Dali's body is heavy, the Zen staff in his hand weighs more than 100 catties, and there are nearly 100 catties in iron armor. When he is fully armed, there is no horse that can move at all!

Therefore, Tian Dali, the commander of the cavalry battalion, can only rely on his legs to move when he charges into battle.

The two armies were not far apart, and the vanguard of the Tibetan cavalry took the lead in the charge, and after a short while, Tian Dali led the army to attack.

At the head of the city, the tribal generals such as Chide and Fulai saw that the Xia army was only three or four thousand soldiers and horses out of the camp to fight, and only a thousand people were charging head-on, and the head man still ran on his legs, and he felt very strange in his heart.

The Tubo cavalry, who was charging, felt that the Xia army dared to fight thousands of enemies, which was too arrogant, and they were determined to destroy the enemy in one wave, and rushed into the enemy camp.

When the two armies were 100 paces apart, the Tibetan cavalry took the lead in firing their bows and arrows.

After the iron harrier changed to destroy the city, it was still not equipped with bows and arrows, and in the face of the enemy's arrow rain, he had to bow his head and resist with iron armor.

After the Tibetan cavalry shot two rounds of arrows, they were surprised to find that there were thousands of horsemen on the opposite side, and none of the ten people who fell from the horse with arrows.

And at this time, the destruction of the city has already run to within thirty steps!

Tian Dali jerked his back waist and shouted: "Throw a gun!" ”

With his shout, the soldiers who destroyed the city pulled out the throwing guns on their waists one after another and threw them forward in unison.

The armor and tactics of the Iron Harrier were used to destroy the city, and all the soldiers were not equipped with bows and arrows, the only change was the addition of four throwing spears in the lower back, so that this hoplite cavalry had the means to strike at medium distance.

At a distance of thirty paces, the two armies charged against each other, and they only had time to throw a round of throwing guns to destroy the city. However, the damage caused by this round of guns has far exceeded the two rounds of arrow rain of the Tibetan cavalry.

More than 300 of the cavalry in the front line of Tubo were shot and killed, so many of the rear soldiers turned over on their backs.

But after two or three breaths, the moment the two armies met in close combat, the Tubo realized that the killing and wounding caused by that wave of guns was really nothing.

In the eyes of Chide, Fulai and others at the head of the city, the scene of the intersection of the two armies is like a huge yak colliding head-on with a small Tibetan mastiff, and the result is undoubtedly that the Tibetan mastiff was hit to pieces.

However, the truth is completely reversed!

Under the powerful impact of destroying the city, the Tibetan cavalry was crushed at the first touch. The warriors who destroyed the city barely had to swing the scimitar in their hands, and with the impact of their horses alone, they knocked over countless front-row enemies who met them head-on.

When the momentum of the powerful impact was slowed down by the enemy's flesh and blood, the destruction of the city was carried out with Tian Dali as the arrow, and the goose-shaped formation gradually changed from a goose-shaped formation to a sharp arrow formation.

Originally, in the eyes of the Tibetan cavalry, Tian Dali, a man who ran on his legs, appeared on the cavalry battlefield, which was a joke.

But after ten breaths of fighting, in the face of this killing god, the enemy troops in front of Tian Dali several feet in front of him unconsciously avoided to both sides.

Thirty breaths later, the city was destroyed by thousands of thousands, and the enemy was already killed.

And the light cavalry guards on both flanks began to exert their might at this time, pouring a rain of arrows on the heads of the scattered enemy troops.

Tian vigorously killed through the enemy formation, and did not look back to kill again, but rushed directly to the city gate with the destruction of the city.

Cred and Fry were heartbroken, and shouted in unison: "Close the gates! Close the gates! ”
