Chapter 17 The Turtle in the Urn Captures the Stone Castle City
Wanxiu City is of great significance to Tubo, but it has no strategic value for the Tang Dynasty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Pei Min didn't feel distressed when it was damaged, and almost the entire castle was caught in flames.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Shang Zanpo immediately decided: "The rear team will be the front team, and the encirclement will be highlighted from the original road." ”
Pei Min saw that Shang Zanpo had reorganized the system in the short term and organized a counterattack, and he couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, Shang Zanpo may be a little bit handsome, but being a general is qualified.
Most of the cavalry were transferred to pursue the retreating troops of Tubo, and all Pei Min had at the moment were foot soldiers.
It's not his style to go head-to-head with cavalry!
"Shoot the ......"
When the Tibetan cavalry approached the land of a stone's throw, with a wave of his big hand, the sound of breaking the air sounded, and the powerful crossbow arrows chased the soul and killed him.
The bolts were followed by countless falling rockets.
Rockets rained down, and the surrounding houses were instantly surrounded by flames.
These flames could not burn the soldiers for a short time, and did not have much effect on the soldiers. But in addition to people, the Tibetan cavalry also has war horses, and it is the nature of cattle to be afraid of fire. Although trained horses have a certain resistance to the flames, they will go berserk and uncontrollable as long as they exceed the limits they can bear, crowding each other and trampling on themselves.
"Up!"
Seeing that the impact of the cavalry was completely neutralized, Pei Min took the lead in killing.
The bright light armor on Pei Min's body shone in the firelight, which was particularly conspicuous, and as soon as he approached the battle array, two riders immediately rushed towards him with a sense of luck.
In front of Pei Min's meeting, there was a war horse that fell to the ground and tried to struggle to get up, one step forward was a little on tiptoe, his body rose from the ground, and he jumped six feet high with his strength, and when the long sword danced, two soldiers who came to snipe him hit one in the chest and one in the neck, and immediately fell off the horse.
Stepping on the horse's back, he used his strength again, rushed to the nearest person, and showed the turning sword and slashing the tiger's head in the tiger swordsmanship, and his body turned half a circle in the air, and the Qin Emperor's sword slashed through a long rainbow, directly cutting off the opponent's head, and the neck blood sprayed more than a foot high.
When his feet landed, he took a move to slash the tiger's belly with a sword, and the Qin Emperor's sword stabbed obliquely from the bottom to the top!
The invincible Qin Emperor Sword, with the blessing of the fierce and domineering tiger swordsmanship, cut another Tubo cavalryman with a horse, from the front of the horse to the lower body of the knight into two sections.
From jumping in the air to landing, he slashed four people in a row, all in one go, and he was very handsome.
Fierce and simple killing moves are common on the battlefield, but it is rare to find such a dashing and handsome but simple and effective attack as Pei Min.
The surrounding Tang soldiers feasted their eyes and couldn't help cheering, their morale doubled, and they rushed to the Tubo soldiers with a roar.
The reason why the cavalry is strong is mainly because of mobility and impact, in this crowded alley, the cavalry can't move, let alone any impact, and it is not even as flexible as the foot soldiers, and the Tang army is defeated and retreated.
Shang Zanpo knew that with Pei Min in charge of this road, it would be difficult to break through, so she could only choose to break through elsewhere.
Pei Min did not pursue either, and continued to defend his north gate.
In order to completely annihilate Shang Zanpo, Pei Min has already made full preparations, he is in charge of the north gate of Wanxiu City, Feng Changqing Town guards the south gate, Jiang Yue and Li Siye are the east and west gates respectively, in order to trap the Tubo soldiers who broke into the city in the city, so as to annihilate them completely. As long as the four generals abide by their posts and do not show flaws, the cavalry of Shang Zanpo is a turtle in an urn, dead and alive.
Shang Zanpo was very unlucky, so she avoided Pei Min's north gate and chose the east gate guarded by Jiangyue.
Jiang Yue is the best at the use of equipment, directly with strong crossbows, bows and arrows, and the cooperation of rejecting horses, blocking the entire long street, one by one, and there is no chance to connect to the city gate.
He should be glad that Jiang Yue didn't have a cannon stone cart in his hands, otherwise he would attack from near and far, and it was guaranteed to make him drunk to death.
Shang Tsam Po could only rush to the south gate again!
The sealing of Changqing at the south gate once again made Shang Zanpo see what the art of conducting is.
Feng Changqing was a cripple and his body was thin, so he was destined to not be able to go into battle to kill the enemy. So he put his mind on command, and when it comes to the level of command, Pei Min may not be able to compare.
He went to the house with a bow and crossbow, the pikemen blocked the road, and the sword and shield soldiers fought with guerrilla tactics to suppress the Tibetan cavalry.
In order to make up for Feng Changqing's inability to go into battle, Pei Min also transferred Kendrick to him to be in charge of command.
Kendrick also showed his strength in a hundred battles, with a sword and a shield, attacking and defending appropriately, leading the sword and shield soldiers to cause huge casualties to the Tibetan cavalry.
Of course, it was Simon who really taught Shang Zanpo to be a man!
The Modao Army entered the battle for the first time, and the wall-like Modao Formation seemed to be born to restrain the existence of cavalry.
In just one hour, the four people of Shang Tsangpo, south, south, and northwest all walked around, but the soldiers under his command had been reduced from 8,000 to 3,000, and they were like turtles in an urn, and there was no possibility of breaking through at all......
**********
When Shang Zanpo trapped Wanxiu City, Gong Ren had already led 6,000 soldiers and horses to the foot of Mengchiling.
They lit torches generously, and without concealing their identities, they climbed step by step towards the stone castle city on the mountain.
Gong Ren looked back at the troops like a long fiery serpent, attacking the stone fortress city.
When he was halfway up the mountain, he suddenly sang loudly:
"The Great Father Monkey, the Loving Mother Rock Witch...... It has created a national ...... like an eagle"
"Dear Nie Chi Zampu...... You are the light...... Tibet rises because of you......"
"Wise Songtsen Gampo...... For the heavens...... Ze is ...... by the earth."
According to the legend of Tubo, the Tubo people are the children born from the combination of macaques and rock witches, the first generation of Zampu Nie Chi Zampu created Tubo, and Songtsan Gampo made Tubo rise!
This military song contains the history of Tibet and the process of its growth.
Whenever a great victory or a major event occurs, the Tibetan people sing this military song to celebrate.
On Gong Ren and the soldiers behind him are all Tubo people, and they are naturally familiar with the military songs that everyone in Tubo sings, and the praise is extremely standard.
At this moment, the remaining soldiers in the stone castle city heard the singing in the distance, and gradually gathered at the head of the city.
The military song is mainly to encourage people's hearts and boost morale.
The same is true of the Tibetan military songs, which are catchy and impassioned.
Some of the soldiers couldn't help but whisper and calm down.
Before he left, he handed over the defense of Stone Castle City to Commander Basi.
Basi is a careful confidant of Shang Tsam Po and knows the situation that Shang Tsam Po is facing very well.
Shang Tsampa forced Simaharang into a desperate situation, and even affected his future prospects, forcing him to take a risk.
If this battle is successful, the general situation will be decided, and the Tang army, which has lost grain and grass materials, will definitely be defeated. If defeated, the general trend of Tubo in Jiuqu in Hexi will go, and it will not be able to return to the sky.
At this critical time, Basi only longed to be able to work with Shang Tsam Po to settle the overall situation with him. It's just that Stone Castle City is too important to be lost, so he can only wait in the mountains, anxiously waiting for news.
At this moment, I heard the familiar melody and passionate singing, and couldn't help but cheer: "Success, Captain Wanli succeeded!" We won, we finally won! ”
He only said that the surprise attack was successful, and the boss he respected had recovered Wanxiu City as planned, seized the grain and grass of the Tang Dynasty, and won the victory.
For a while, Bath only felt tears in his eyes, they had lost consecutive battles, and they had not won for a long time, and this military song of triumph heralding victory seemed to exist only in the deepest part of memory.
Hearing the triumphant song of victory in the distance, the Bath dancer raised his fist and sang loudly.
The rest of the soldiers who defended the city also shouted loudly when they saw that Basi had sang. In response to the distant singing, follow the chorus aloud.
They have no doubts about the approaching "friendly forces".
Even when they got closer, they didn't have any suspicions: the other party was wearing a military uniform unique to Tibet, and it was also a unique equipment of Tibet. The most important thing is that the mellow Tubo dialect can't be wrong.
Bath looked at the "friendly forces" that were getting closer and closer, and even felt the urge to order the city gates to be opened.
However, Bath still had a thought, the Stone Castle City was very important, and it needed to be ordered by Shang Tsampa himself to open the heavy gates.
Under the influence of the song, the soldiers of Stone Fort City let down all their guards, and only waited for Shang Tsangpo to give an order, so that they could celebrate the victory together and chant war songs.
The "friendly army" met in the blink of an eye, and Bath was shocked to find that the leader was not Shang Zanpo, and an ominous premonition came to his heart.
Shang Tsam Po is known as the general of the wind, with the speed of the steppe wolf, and likes to lead the team in front of the most.
After seeing the appearance of the person who came, Ba Si looked in a trance, as if he had seen the Tubo military god in the past.
A feeling called "fear" came over him, and he didn't have time to remind him out loud.
The crossbows that had broken through the air had already crossed the air, and the arrows shot through the unsuspecting defenders of the city, causing chaos on the city's head.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
Captain Barth finally came to his senses and screamed, but it was too late.
The city was inexplicably attacked by "its own people" and was in chaos. Most of them woke up from a dream and went straight to the city, without even holding a weapon, and it was difficult for them to resist effectively in a short time.
The only one who could keep his sanity was Bath, who shouted to stabilize his soldiers when he was shot into his throat by a powerful arrow.
As the son of the god of war, he has extremely high attainments in swords, arrows, bows and horses, and this close-range shooting of enemy generals is effortless.
Compared with the chaos on the city tower, the offensive under the city tower was orderly.
The ladder had already been transported to the top of the city as soon as possible, and the warriors who had climbed first had already begun to climb to the castle tower.
Although Stone Castle City is known as a natural hazard, it has the reputation of slaughtering eagles in the mountains. But in this case, even though it gradually recovered, the Tubo army, which actively participated in the defense, was still unable to stop the Tang army led by Gongren, and Shibao City fell.
November 29, the fourth year of Kaiyuan.
Shibao City returned to the embrace of the Tang Dynasty again, and the bridgehead of the Tubo attack on the Tang Dynasty was finally blocked.
