Chapter 21 Closing the door and beating the dog to move the trouble to Jiangdong

At the west gate of Jincheng, three thousand Tubo cavalry gathered silently, people tied horses and hooves, lurking half a mile away under the cover of night, and a pair of eyes looked at Jincheng with a little fear. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The huge outline of Jincheng was like a fierce beast, and in just four days, it devoured tens of thousands of their compatriots.

They are not good at attacking cities, but they are not without fighting fortifications. But none of the battles were as difficult as Jincheng.

Wei Buya gritted his teeth and looked at Jin Cheng, caressing the scars on his face, and looking at it with a cruel smile, with an indescribable ferocity. He was the commander of the Tibetan army and the first vanguard of the siege. After four days, there were more than 9,600 soldiers under his command, and only 1,003 were left, and almost all of them were buried under Jincheng City and burned to charcoal.

The military system of Tubo is different from that of the Tang Dynasty, and the military and government of Tubo are integrated, and the military and the people are integrated. As the commander of the Ten Thousand Commanders, Wei Buya was a landlord, like the leader of a small Turkic tribe, and his soldiers were his own people. Dying in battle will not fill up his establishment. Although he will not take away his title of captain of ten thousand, his strength is no different from that of a commander of thousands.

If it weren't for Qili Xu seeing that he was pitiful and filling him up with three thousand with his own soldiers, he wouldn't have been able to take the opportunity this time.

For Jincheng, Wei Buya now has only one thought in his mind: blood debt and blood payment!

Qilixu had already issued an order to loot and slaughter the city two days ago, and only by slaughtering the city could the Tubo warriors who died in Jincheng be laid to rest.

One......

Two......

Three......

Wei Buya looked at the three torches lit near the city wall of the West Gate, his lantern-sized eyes were full of bloodthirsty light, and with a whistle, three thousand Tibetan cavalry slowly approached Jincheng, and when he reached three hundred steps, he spurred his horse and rushed into Xicheng.

The horseshoe stepped over the wooden drawbridge and passed through the city gates!

Wei Buya roared and roared: "The general has already ordered to break the city for three days, and kill as much as you want; You can grab it as much as you want......"

Bang!

Before Wei Buya's roar fell, and before he finished speaking, his body flew up in the clouds, and he crashed headlong into the gate of the inner city, and was killed by force......

He was a carnifer and had severe night blindness, and the gates of the inner city were pitch red, making them inconspicuous in the dark night. He only thought that Neiying had opened all the gates. Facing the confined city gate, he rushed over without any scruples, and the war horse stopped in time, and he was indeed careless, and the volley of inertia flew up......

The main general was slammed to death in front of him, and the dazed Tibetan raiders had not yet reacted.

A raging fire had already burned behind him, and dead branches of earthen pots filled with fire oil were thrown from the castle tower, forming a wall of fire.

Under the reflection of the wall of fire, the Tubo soldiers suddenly found that the surrounding city towers were full of archers, and the drawbridge was slowly pulled up at this time......

The strength of a city does not depend on how high and thick the walls are, but whether the design of the urn city is exquisite.

Although Jincheng has been in disrepair for a long time, 800 years ago, Jincheng was the border fortress of the Han Dynasty, and the urn city was completely built according to the topography of Jincheng. It is also because of the existence of the urn city that Pei Min has the opportunity to invite you into the urn and close the door to beat the dog.

The Tubo soldiers trapped in the urn city had almost no power to fight back, and they could not give birth to wings to fly up the city wall, so they could only crowd in one place, passively shooting arrows and waiting for death.

Almost effortlessly, the Tibetan soldiers died one by one under the bows and arrows of the Tang army.

"Clean up the battlefield!" Pei Min didn't know how many more days he would have to hold on, arrows and these instruments could be saved, and they would never be wasted if they could be recycled, so he paused and said, "Remember to burn all the corpses and burn them cleanly." He once again emphasized the matter of burning corpses: be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and every time the war is over, he will patiently ask again.

In his memory, there was such a battle: a cage battle during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, because the defenders did not dispose of the corpses properly, resulting in the spread of plague, and the entire city of 200,000 people survived less than 4,000.

Pei Min is delicate in his use of soldiers, and he will never allow this kind of tragedy to happen under his nose.

**********

Summer mornings come fast!

Before the hour came, the sky was bright.

There is no movement in Jincheng Xicheng, and there is not a single soldier to report back, can Qili Xu Yan not know what happened?

He raised his fist high, wanting to vent, but slowly put it down.

The matter has come to this, no matter how angry it is, it is useless, the little golden city, he attacked with 60,000, ten times the number, and lost 25,000 soldiers! This embarrassing record, Qili Xu has never fought in the army for 30 years.

After a little rest in the middle of the night, the sun jumped over the horizon, and the colorful light shone on the battlefield......

Kilixu once again sounded the horn of the attack!

The shouting of killing was earth-shattering, and the tide of Tibetan soldiers swept towards Jincheng.

Looking at the standing Jincheng, Qili Xu had only one thought in his heart: "Jincheng must be taken, and more than 20,000 soldiers have been lost." They filled the moat with their lives, and fought most of the defenders on the city walls for them, how can they be worthy of this sacrifice when they retreat now? ā€

Just when the siege war was in full swing, Kilixu suddenly got a piece of news!

"What!" Qili Xu looked at the herald in front of him in despair, his body shook, he almost fell off the horse, and said with difficulty: "The Tang army has already passed Weiyuan?" Approaching the Great Lai Valley? How can it be? ā€

The herald said miserably: "Wang Haibin, the vanguard general of the Tang Army, is extremely brave, and even broke the commander of Lana, the commander of Haoqi, and the general Bi Folu, causing our army to lose nearly 10,000 soldiers. Under the leadership of Wang Haibin, the former ministers of the 30,000 Tang Army drove straight into the Diners Valley. ā€

Kilixu was completely dumbfounded, despite the disparity in strength. When the battle is like this, he can also make an excuse that the Tubo soldiers are not good at attacking the city. But the field battles have been lost, where is there any excuse?

"Wang Haibin, where did you come from?" Pei Min said that he was a champion in both civil and military affairs, and he was very famous in Chang'an. Wang Haibin, he racked his brains and couldn't think of such a number one person in his memory!

The herald said: "It's the envoy of the Feng'an army." ā€

Qili Xu really couldn't imagine that the three brave generals of Tubo, Bi Folu, Lana, and Haoqi would be defeated by a small military envoy, and a small military envoy would be defeated.

"Marshal Kundayan wants me to retire?" Kilixu had already guessed the herald's intentions, and his mouth was full of bitterness.

The vanguard of the Tang army is already approaching the Dalai Valley, and it will not be long before their main army will arrive. When the time comes, they won't be able to leave if they want to. And in this invasion, they ordered 100,000 troops. Of them, 10,000 stayed in Taozhou and attacked Jincheng, and he brought 60,000 soldiers, and there were only 20,000 in Dalai Valley now, and the defeat was decided.

If they withdraw in time, they occupy Taozhou, which can be regarded as neither losing nor winning. If the withdrawal is not timely, the army will be defeated, and Taozhou will be in danger. If you give it back to the Tang Army, you will lose miserably.

"Withdraw!"

Thinking of this, Qili Xu also reflected the decision of a general to know how to advance and retreat, and issued an order to withdraw the army, and the colleague who gave the order to retreat called his henchmen to do a good job in the palace.

"Withdrawn!"

"Withdrawn!"

"Withdrawn!"

……

A thousand words, at this moment, gathered into these three words on the tower of Jincheng City.

The soldiers who fought bloodily shouted and hugged each other, and some even left tears.

Rejoice in victory, rejoice in keeping your family, rejoice in being able to survive.

Pei Min looked at the Tubo army retreating like a tide, and looked at the Tubo army that was about to pull out the camp and leave, and the big stone in his heart finally landed: the Tubo army's method of exchanging injuries for injuries and exchanging death for death is the most unwise, but it is also the most difficult to deal with. Although it was only four days, it was like half a month for him, and more than half of the six thousand available soldiers were wounded, not to mention, more than half were killed.

In order to replenish the supply of soldiers, he had already arranged for the Zhuangding people to do a short training, and decided to let the people go to the city to defend. Fortunately, this last step has not yet been taken, and it is just the right time for Tubo to retreat.

"Deputy envoy, retreat, we hold on!" Yang Yun was as happy as a child, after these days of actual combat, he made rapid progress, in commanding the soldiers, he said in the same day, "Do you want us to catch up!" If you want to run, it's not that easy! ā€

Pei Min looked at Yang Yun, who had already shown his courage, patted him on the shoulder happily, and said, "It's too late to pursue, the other party's command is experienced, and it's not easy." It is inevitable to arrange the queen of the palace, how can we have the strength to fight with them now! An honest rest is the best policy. ā€

Yang Yun looked at the soldiers who were so tired that they collapsed on the ground like dead dogs after the big joy, and said regretfully: "It's a pity, I still want to get another great achievement." ā€

"Haha!" Pei Min said with a smile: "Defending Jincheng and killing more than 20,000 Tubo soldiers is a great achievement...... But you're right, how can you do it without making a profit, take a good rest, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat. He looked at the retreating Tubo army step by step, and his eyes were carefully calculated.

"Vice-Envoy!"

Pei Min was pondering and pondering to make a fortune.

Lu Yu escorted Ilidou to the city, "This bastard is hiding in the pigsty, and he is only catching it now." ā€

Pei Min looked at Yi Li Dou with a sneer.

Ilidou touched the cold gaze, and his whole body trembled like a great god's upper body, and his face was blue.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!" Pei Min smiled and said, "Thanks to you, I can slaughter three thousand more Tubo thieves, and this is due to you." Ignoring the smell of pig dung on Iridou's body, he hooked his shoulders and hugged him tightly.

As if grasping at a life-saving straw, Ilidou's eyes showed a desire to survive.

Pei Min smiled and said to Tang Bing on the city tower: "If you still have the strength, shout with me, it's good to go, don't send it!" ā€

Under his command "good go, don't send!" ā€

Four words resounded all over the world!

Yi Li Dou didn't understand the reason for a while, but after thinking about it, he understood, roared loudly, and wanted to struggle, but he hugged Pei Min and couldn't move.

The Tubo people can't understand the Central Plains dialect, Pei Min doesn't care, but the Tubo general must understand.

"Don't think I'm ruthless, and don't tell me anything that will hurt my family! Compared to the slaughter of my Jincheng that you almost harmed, I am merciful enough! Pei Min said that the more he used the strength in his hand, the more he strangled him to death.

He believed that if Qi Lixu or other people who knew Illitus saw this scene, they would definitely think that Illitus was colluding with the Tang Army.

If you want revenge, let them take revenge!
