Chapter 225: I can't attack it

10,000 people is a fart in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Regions and Tubo, is there no 50,000 or 60,000 in that war or a war? But there are really a lot of people in the Western Regions, the population of the Western Regions was originally small, and there were only 10 million people in a place as big as Xinjiang in later generations, where is the population dense now, and the Western Regions Coalition Army sent 10,000 troops, which should be a rare big move in recent years, and it is estimated that the Turks and Tubo have forced them to be ruthless.

"These bastards actually followed Tubo to attack us, and when my Datang came back, they will all be wiped out to relieve the hatred in my heart." Qiao Shi trembled with anger, no one could afford to look at this Anxi Duhu of his own. Return to Anxi, all the small countries in the Western Regions have united to fight you.

At the end of the desert to the west of Xizhou City, a black and oppressive figure gradually appeared, like a dark cloud covering the sky and the sun, slowly pressing towards Gaochang City. They are finally here, and the time has come for the death battle in Gaochang City. When we were still five miles away from the city, I heard the rumbling of drums and the neighing of horses.

Li Dongsheng, Qiao Shiwang and the people of the firearms battalion stood at the head of the city and looked at the neat team in the distance, their eyes showed solemnity, in their minds, the Tibetans and Turks are nomads, that is, they win with cavalry, but the team that came today has a complete formation, looking at the dense siege tools behind, they know in their hearts that they are in big trouble.

Qiao Shiwang said: "Look at this formation, the opponent's main general is not simple." ”

"Well, he is still a person who can attack cities, and there are very few such people in Tibet and Turks." Li Dongsheng thought for a while: "Maybe it's the country in the Western Regions." ”

Xi Junmai said with a big grin: "No matter what kind of general he is, it is estimated that he will not be able to attack our city, you see that this pillar is stretched out so long, he can't even build a ladder, how can he attack it?" ”

Yu Chi Baolin said: "Don't underestimate the enemy, now that the enemy is outnumbered, we must plan for the worst." ”

As the enemy army got closer and closer to the city gate, the appearance of the enemy became more and more visible. There is a golden flag swaggering in the wind in the distance, the enemy's clothes are very mixed, there are all kinds of colors, some are shirtless and shirtless, Li Dongsheng wants to ask if you are cold. Their physiognomy and skin color are also obviously very different, walking in the front is the Western Regions coalition army, and the cavalry team behind is the Tibetan and Turkic coalition army.

It was already dusk when they walked to the bottom of the city, and dozens of people who seemed to be generals walked to the outside of the camp, looked at the city wall from a distance, pointed with their fingers, and did not know what they were saying, but their expressions were relaxed and could be seen, because their mouths were wide open when they laughed.

There was nothing to say all night, but the people in Gaochang City did not rest well, for fear that the enemy would steal the city late at night. At dawn the next day, the enemy army had already begun to cook, and the people in the city were busy, knowing that the battle would begin today.

These guys probably have regarded Gao Changcheng as their own bag, and they didn't even have the most traditional heart-to-heart warfare to persuade them to surrender, so they waved their hands and started directly.

The drums rumbled in the enemy camp, and shouts of killing rang out. These guys were like a swarm of ants, and they rushed towards Gaochang City in a black pressure, and Li Dongsheng at the head of the city saw that they had reached the shooting distance of the bow and arrow, and waved his big hand: "Release the arrow!" ”

I only heard a muffled sound of the bowstring, and the black and oppressive rain of arrows shot towards the enemy army besieging the city like locusts foraging for food, only to hear the screams suddenly loud, the besieging team was bald, and countless enemy soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, and then this bald place was filled by the people behind.

The bow and arrow were shot twice, and it had no effect. Because the enemy all ran under the city wall, at this time I saw a siege ladder began to be erected at the head of the city, countless people bit the scimitar in their mouths, and their expressions were hideous and ready to climb up.

This is the effect of Li Dongsheng using cement to place the pile obliquely, if you are not clear, you can go and see the shape of the barbed wire fence installed on the wall of the secret unit. I'm depressed now, I can't use the ladder, I can only bask in the sun under the city wall?

It's a pity that the Tang army won't give them this opportunity, the rolling wood and stones above the city head are thrown down one after another, and there are bursts of screams and wails below the smash, but the camp has no Mingjin, so they can only stay below and can't go back. Some brave guys, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, climbed first and then said, but crawling and crawling with their belly up, and they couldn't use their strength, and they were named one by one by the archers in the Tang army, screaming and falling down, falling into a pile of minced meat.

After waiting for a while, I still didn't hear the news of the big camp Mingjin withdrawing troops, these enemy troops really couldn't stand the situation of waiting to die under the city wall, and one person took the lead and shouted: Run. A group of people followed and ran towards the meeting, and were fired twice by the Tang army in the middle of the way, suffering heavy casualties. The first siege failed, and the enemy's dream of taking the city at once was shattered.

Two thousand people rushed to the city wall with a rainbow, thinking of taking Gaochang in one go, but the outcome was completely different from what they thought, and their morale was pressed down by a cement pile.

The leader of the Tibetan team was Sambu, who was Songtsen Gampo's favorite general and experienced in combat, and on his left was the Turkic commander Yibi Ahun, and on the right was the commander of the Western Regions Coalition Army, Reyeji, who listened to the fleeing soldiers tell them about the shape and size of the cement pile, and why they could not wait for the city.

After listening to their narrative with a blank face, Sambu shouted loudly: "Today's siege of these people did not listen to the order, but dared to take the lead in escaping, according to military law, we are a coalition army, now no matter which country, as long as they do not obey the military order, all of them will be beheaded, and the heads will be circulated to the major battalions." ”

The soldiers below were frightened and hurriedly pleaded with the generals they were familiar with. But Sambu waved his hand: "Execution!" ”。

Seeing their colleagues beheaded in front of everyone, the people of the Western Regions Alliance Army were uncomfortable, the people who were cut down were basically their people, those Tubo and Turkic people would not attack the city at all, so they pressed them, and the tools for attacking the city were still brought by them, but now they have become the party that made mistakes, many generals are indignant in their hearts, but they are afraid of the obscenity of the Tibetans and the Turks, and they dare not speak out.

Sambu and their generals are also in a very bad mood, in their thoughts, attacking Gaochang is to explore the bag, the Tang army is to capture Gaochang in one day, there is no reason for the Tang Dynasty to do something, our coalition forces can't do it, right? But now that the war has changed, no one can crack a small cement pile, and things have become complicated and difficult, which is beyond the predictions of several coalition forces.
