Fengtian Military Village!

With the gathering of soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, Xue Ne convened the first military meeting. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the commander-in-chief, he is dressed in bright bright light armor, with the majesty of the battle-hardened, and only has a sea of self-indulgent demeanor.

Among those who started with him were Bai Daogong, Du Guest, Yang Chuke, An Sishun, Kang Haiyuan, Li Chang, Ma Wei, Zhao Chengen, Guo Zhiyun, and Qin Yili...... and so on. The attack on Tibet this time was huge, and Li Longji was particularly cautious, and the generals and commanders arranged were none other than the military bigwigs of the DPRK and China.

Li Longji's prudence is one of the sources of Xue Ne's headache.

Li Tang has been in turmoil since the civil strife in Tibet, and the Turks have only cared about development for more than ten years, and have not experienced a major war. Many military bigwigs in the imperial court were promoted by virtue of their coup exploits, and with some of the qualifications they had come out, there were very few who could really fight and have combat experience.

Xue Ne's trusting henchmen in his hands can't be used, but he doesn't dare to use them, but he doesn't have to worry about it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there has been the latest movement of the Tibetan thieves in front of them, they are stationed in Jincheng with heavy troops, and at the same time they send cavalry to roam the line of Weizhou, Longzhou, and Qizhou, fluctuating, plundering counties and villages, and destroying bridges. Do you have any ideas? Xue Ne glanced down at the hall and distributed the information in his hand, which recorded in detail the whereabouts of the three Tibetan guerrilla armies.

In order to find out the general whereabouts of the Tubo Rangers, Xue Ne sacrificed scouts to explore the way.

Bai Daogong, the general of Zuo Wuwei, was the first to say: "The intention of the thieves is quite obvious, they mean Jincheng. I don't want to fight to the death with our main army, and I want to use the Youyi army to delay the speed of our army. Jincheng is weak, and it is necessary to march as soon as possible, which is the best policy. ”

Xue Ne said quietly: "How to enter the army?" ”

Bai Daogong said without hesitation: "Step by step, as the saying goes, cloud sharpening knives does not mistake woodcutters." The Tibetans wanted to delay the speed of our army with the guerrilla army, and our army only needed to open the road to the rear of the palace with spears and axes, and respond with strong crossbows on the left and right, and the Chinese army supported by cavalry, swords and shields. Along the way, they were scouting horses in a wide range of areas, and marching cautiously to prevent the Tubo from taking advantage of the opportunity, and the Tubo Guerrilla army would be useless. As long as we approach the Great Lai Valley, Tibet will definitely retreat. ”

As soon as Bai Daogong's voice fell, Kang Haiyuan, the general of the right Jinwu, immediately said: "The last general agrees with General Bai's strategy, and the way to use troops is to establish himself as invincible first, as long as our Chinese army is not defeated, then Tubo will be defeated." ”

Xue Ne raised his eyebrows, he did not deny that what Bai Daogong and Kang Haiyuan said made sense, and it was indeed said in the book of war. But how can you blindly come up from the war book in a war, not to mention the conservatism of Bai Daogong and Kang Haiyuan, just to retreat from the enemy. Tubo invaded the Tang Dynasty, not wanting to break the enemy's strategy, but looking for a way to retreat the enemy, what is it called?

"I don't agree with the two generals!"

Just when Xue Ne was secretly dissatisfied, there was a burst of opposition from the hall. Looking for prestige, but it was a military envoy at the bottom of the line, Wang Haibin. He was not even a general, and he was not qualified to attend this meeting, but Xue Ne gave him special permission to attend this military meeting.

Wang Haibin came out of the class and said: "Weizhou, Longzhou, and Qizhou are all my Tang Dynasty territory, and the Tubo thieves are in my Tang Dynasty territory, plundering counties and villages, acting arbitrarily, treating my Tang Dynasty as nothing, this wind cannot be long, and it cannot be tolerated." It should take the initiative to lure them into battle, and fight and annihilate them, rather than passively resisting. This will also reduce the pressure on Jincheng. ”

Bai Daogong's face was unhappy, and he snorted disdainfully in his heart: "Little military envoy! ”

"Wang June!" Kang Haiyuan also bit the word "military envoy" very hard, and said: "The elite cavalry of Tubo is famous all over the world, and they come and go like the wind." If there are few soldiers, they will attack, and if they are not enemies, they will retreat, and they will not be entangled. If there are many soldiers, the opponent will not be defeated, and if there are few soldiers, they will be invincible, the enemy. It's too easy to think about! ”

Wang Haibin said without hesitation: "Why should General Kang grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige. As a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, even if blood is splashed on the battlefield, he cannot be afraid of the Tibetan thieves. Ambassador Xue, if he does not give up, is willing to act as a vanguard army to open the way for the Chinese army to meet the Tubo Youyi. He spoke eloquently and with pride.

Xue Ne patted the case and said: "According to the words of the military envoy, I remember that you have 2,000 elite horsemen under your command, and I am dialing you 6,000 and ordering you to be the vanguard...... Fight against the Tibetan guerrillas. ”

"Command!" Wang Haibin did not have much joy on his face, but a cautious and resolute face.

**********

Lanzhou Jincheng!

The horn of the siege finally sounded!

The nascent sunlight shone through the clouds and shone on the desolate land, shining on the armor blades of the soldiers inside and outside the Golden City, reflecting bursts of dazzling cold light.

The wind and thunder shook, flags were raised in all directions, and the war drums roared.

Qi Lixu sat on horseback, looked at the towering golden city, raised his whip, and shouted: "Go to the city!" ”

As a veteran of a hundred battles, Kilixu did not pin all his hopes on that killer feature. The killer move is a good move, but a good move is never meant to be a winning piece, just a chance to win. So he plans to use that trick at a critical time to make the chances bigger. Even if you don't succeed in good chess, with a few days of strong attack as the bottom, there is still a chance to break the city.

He's been making simple siege engines these days, for today.

Under his order, the Tibetan soldiers carried more than 60 ladders and wrapped the soldiers who charged into the city.

Pei Min's ears were filled with the sound of a huge horn, and he couldn't help but break out in a little cold sweat in his palms as he looked at the Tubo soldiers who were swarming up like ants.

Compared to the previous petty fights, this is the real battlefield.

"The catapult is ready to ...... Put! ”

"Big wooden crossbow...... Shoot! ”

Pei Min did not hesitate to give the order to attack when the enemy was approaching.

The biggest feature of the cannon stone is that the crosshair is insufficient, but in the face of ant-like soldiers, where do you need the crosshair, many people fell to the ground crying and shouting for their mothers, and many people were directly shot in the head and chest, and they died on the spot without saying a word.

The big wooden crossbow is even more terrifying, as the most powerful crossbow in the Tang Dynasty, the big wooden crossbow requires ten people to work together to shoot an arrow. Often a single arrow can penetrate two or three people, and if it is not a condescending shot, it is not a problem to penetrate seven or eight people. The crossbow bolt was accompanied by the sound of the earth-shattering bow, and a one-meter-long crossbow bolt broke through the air, and a Tibetan soldier who protected the shield above his head unfortunately won the lottery. The shield above his head was torn apart and shattered in an instant. Undiminished, the powerful bolt passed straight through his face, piercing through the back of his head and stabbing into the chest of a Tibetan soldier behind him. The force of the crossbow was so great that it carried both of them upside down and pinned them to the ground like meat skewers.

The first soldier with the crossbow was fine, but he was already dead. The one in the back was not so lucky, he hung on the crossbow, feeling the pain of the crossbow piercing his chest, and he couldn't go before or after, and he drained the blood of his whole body little by little. It's not just them, similar situations abound on the battlefield.

Although the crossbow bolt is not as powerful as the gunstone, it can bring the same bloody effect as the former.

Looking at the tragic results brought by the stone-throwing cart and the ballista, Qili Xu's heart also trembled, he has participated in a lot of battles and battles. But the enemy of the attack is either the six departments of Nanzhao or a small country such as Zhangxiong. I have seen such a terrible weapon to defend the city there, and I have long heard that the Tang Dynasty has heard of the terrible weapon of defending the city.

However, the greater the power, the greater the disadvantages. The long loading work is the fatal weakness of the stone throwing and ballista cars.

In their eyes, after the baptism of artillery stones and crossbows, more than 5,000 Tubo soldiers successfully approached Jincheng a hundred paces away.

It is only a stone's throw away from the city wall of Jincheng.

Pei Min did not hesitate to give the order to shoot.

Four hundred crossbowmen threw four hundred arrows at the enemy.

Compared with the huge defects of the stone throwing cart and the ballista itself, the arrow is the real weapon to defend and kill the enemy. In this round, nearly 100 Tibetan soldiers were directly damaged, and the effect was obvious.

Pei Min was about to carry out a second round of shooting, but saw that the more than 5,000 Tubo soldiers who rushed to within 100 steps did not all rush straight to the city, but stopped, and some even directly dropped the shields in their hands and took out the bows hanging behind their backs.

His face changed, and Pei Min shouted without hesitation: "Hide, hide!" He secretly scolded the Tibetan general for being cunning and actually using this dead-for-death tactic.

They shot from top to bottom, and they could never lose to the Tibetan shooters. But there were 5,000 Tibetan archers, and there was a steady stream of soldiers behind them. The Tang soldiers only had 4,000 available soldiers, of which only more than 1,000 were proficient in archery, and one for ten was a loss-making business.

This is the capital of many soldiers and many soldiers!

Sure enough, arrows and feathers are coming all over the sky!

Arrows flew up to the city, and the salvo of five thousand archers was not comparable to that of their four hundred archers.

Pitch-black arrows were like locusts, coming all over the sky, shooting at the battlements without stopping, some nailing to the city, some falling downward, and more from the gap in the tower, whistling through the sky.

All I could hear was the sound of whooshing.

"The tactics and rules of Tubo cannot be underestimated and taken lightly." Pei Min thought about the way to crack it, and he was also glad in his heart that he called in time, otherwise the casualties would be not small, and at the same time, he was also shocked by the accuracy of the Tubo shooter, and secretly thought: It is definitely not an accident that Tubo can become the rival of the Tang Dynasty, they are both agricultural people and nomads, but they have uniqueness.

Pei Min didn't have time to sigh, so he thought of a way to crack this firepower suppression, and ordered: "Prepare the sword and shield hand and the throwing hand." The sword and shield man stretches his shield out of the city and catches the arrow! The throwers took the opportunity to pour sand down the city! ”

Shields stretched out from the parapet to block the arrows, and the throwers poured the sand towards the city.

The dust and wind swept towards the Tibetan archers a hundred paces away, and no matter how elite the Tibetan archers were, it was difficult to shoot again in a state where they couldn't open their eyes.

Pei Min took out the bow and arrow on his back and shouted, "Brothers, it's time to fight back!" ”
