Chapter 561: The Wind and the Clouds (3)

Wang Bing himself is a cavalry general, and he is extremely familiar with the way of cavalry warfare, but for the battle of defending the city, the level is just average, if the enemy is all cavalry troops who are not good at attacking the city, even if the number is more, Wang Bing will not take it to heart, but at least half of the Tubo army that is busy under the city is an infantry army, and the armament is more than one step stronger than the ordinary Tubo infantry army, and the strength of the city is less than 4,000 troops, if you rely on the death defense, it is obviously impossible to hold the city, The destruction of the city is inevitable, the difference is only that it can be held for a few days.

Few days? One day or two days? Wang Bing has no bottom in his heart, and besides, even if he barely holds for a day or two, it is unknown whether he can wait for reinforcements, because Wang Bing has already decided that the main force of the Anxi Army is only afraid that he has been ambushed by Gar Qinling at this time, and it is difficult to protect himself, how can he expect Li Jinxing to send reinforcements, the only hope can only be the Hexi army under Li Xian's department, and Wang Bing can't ensure that he can contact the Hexi army at this time, although after he captured the city, he has sent more than a dozen newspapers to Shanzhou in time, Tianjun Mountain searched in the direction of the mountain, trying to contact the main force of the Hexi Army, but whether it could be achieved Wang Bing really did not dare to hold out too much hope, but as far as the current situation is concerned, whether it is to defend or withdraw, it is necessary to make a decision quickly, but this decision is obviously not easy to make, Wang Bing's face changed and he was silent for a while, and he failed to make up his mind.

"General."

Just when Wang Bing was silent, Wan Liangcai, who was wearing a thick bandage, was supported by a personal guard, limped up to the city, and called out of breath, which woke Wang Bing up from his reverie.

"Qi Ning (Wan Liangcai's character), why are you here? It doesn't matter if it hurts? ”

Wang Binghuo Ran turned around, and saw that the person who came was Wan Liangcai, so he hurriedly flashed, rushed forward, stretched out his hand to help him, and said a gentle word of comfort.

"The general doesn't have to worry, the last general's body is tough and can bear it, hehe, the thief dares to attack the city, the last general's hand is itching, it's just enjoyable!"

Wan Liangcai is brave and ruthless by nature, he has always been happy when he hears the battle, and he does not want to stay in the wounded barracks, but when he saw Wang Bing say this, he immediately patted his chest and replied heroically.

"Well, it'......s okay, Brother Qining has always been good at defending the city, and this time the city defense will be the responsibility of Brother Qining, even if the general is also dispatched by the brother, after all, the thief can't get his hands on it!"

Wang Bing nodded thoughtfully, and then gritted his teeth and completely made up his mind to stick to the plan to wait for help, which put the command in the hands of Wan Liangcai.

"Ha, then the general will be disrespectful, you are still stunned, do it quickly, demolish all the stone houses in the city to Lao Tzu, and move them to the city as a wooden rolling stone, and the action is fucking fast!"

Wan Liangcai has been with Wang Bing for many years, and he knows that Wang Bing is not a hypocritical person, but he is not polite at all when he hears Wang Bing give up the command power, haha smiled, simply accepted the order, and turned around to give an order to the group of ** officers and soldiers gathered on the city wall.

"No!"

Seeing so many soldiers and horses of the Tubo army under the city before, a group of soldiers couldn't help but be a little nervous, and Wang Bing, the main general, did not give an order, and all the officers and soldiers did not know what to do.

Time is passing minute by minute, the city is busy, the Tubo defenders under the city are also not idle, both sides are in a hurry, the Tubo side is a large number of people, the speed of building the ladder is naturally not slow, it is only half an hour, it has been hurried out of dozens of rough ladders, as for the **, the destruction is always faster than the construction, not much, the city has been piled up with all kinds of debris, big stones, beams, wooden doors have everything, although it is messy, but it is used to defend the city, but it is not bad, Both sides completed their pre-war preparations almost simultaneously.

"Attack!"

After the whole team was finished, Gar Mu Cuolun did not hesitate at all, let alone any nonsense, what should have been said had already been said, and the preparations that should have been made had already been prepared, whether he could rescue Gar Qinling, who was blocked in Tuyuhun, was fighting here!

"Woo, woo, woo......"

With the issuance of the order, the terrible sound of the horn in the Tubo army formation suddenly became loud, and the three thousand cavalry who had already been ready rushed out of the array first, rushed to the city wall at high speed, and couldn't help but say that it was a random arrow shot into the city, although it did not hurt the ** officers and soldiers hiding behind the city saucer, but the dense firepower made the ** officers and soldiers unable to raise their heads, and immediately, the four thousand Tubo infantry troops who followed closely behind the cavalry also rushed to the city with a shout, and with the help of the cover of their own cavalry, they began to attack the city.

"Crossbowmen ready!"

Although the city was full of arrows like locusts, but Wan Liangcai did not hide, but was guarded by two strong martial arts shield swordsmen standing on the head of the city, this saw that the Tubo infantry army had rushed to a distance of less than fifty steps from the city, and did not dare to slack off, roaring and giving an order, a group of ** crossbowmen immediately heard the order and moved, and raised the chain crossbows that had already been loaded together, nervously waiting for the follow-up order to be issued.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Let the arrows fly randomly and shoot the shield in front of him, but Wan Liangcai did not frown, but silently estimated the distance, until the Tubo cavalry under the city in order to make way for his infantry to rush to the city, Wan Liangcai roared and gave the order to attack.

"Whoosh ......"

In order to make way for their own infantry army, the overall formation of the Tubo cavalry was inevitably a little scattered, and the rain of arrows that suppressed the city head also stopped, but it was such a stop, but it gave the defenders a great opportunity to attack, but when they heard a dense roar, thousands of steel arrows shot into the Tubo infantry army that was rushing like a downpour, and in an instant, more than half of the vanguard of the Tubo infantry army was shot down, and nearly two hundred soldiers carrying cloud ladders died under this chaotic arrow.

"Rush to the city, rush to the city!"

This group of Tubo army is the elite of the Gar family, the will to fight is extremely tenacious, and the determination to rush to the city is not shaken by the heavy losses of the vanguard team, but seeing a thousand household chiefs in charge of commanding the first to rush forward, carrying the ladder that fell to the ground, and rushing towards the direction of the city wall in the first place, the rest of the people saw this, their morale was greatly boosted, and they all roared to the root of the city wall, braving the arrows that rained down on the city's head, rolling stones and trees, desperately erected the cloud ladder, and leaned towards the city head with a brush. The Tibetan warriors standing on each ladder also bowed up, ready to take advantage of the situation to climb over the city plate.

"Fork hands, up!"

The pace of the Tubo infantry army rushing into the city is almost the same as the siege technique of **, but the result is very different, but listening to Wan Liangcai's roar, a group of five ** officers and soldiers immediately rushed to the city saucer, two ** soldiers holding wooden forks against the cloud ladder that is coming over, not letting the cloud ladder catch the city plate, and then, it lifted it hard, and pushed the cloud ladder upside down to the side, while the two shield knife hands were guarding the side, blocking the arrows for the two fork hands, and a crossbowman fell at the end, shooting the Tubo dead soldier at the top of the cloud ladder with a strong crossbow.

**'s five-person team cooperated tacitly, and most of the nearly forty ladders of the Tubo army were overturned, and only a few less than ten ladders were successfully mounted on the city with the help of the desperate cover of their own cavalry, but even so, the dead soldiers standing at the top of the ladder were inevitably shot by the ** crossbowmen on the spot, and no one could turn over to the city.

"Uptown, Uptown!"

Although it suffered two heavy losses in a row, but the Tubo infantry army still insisted on it without fear of death, not only its cavalry army rushed to the city to shoot arrows to cover it, but its infantry army was under the supervision of the generals, braving the blow of the rolling stones and trees on the city, and climbed up the ladder one after another, even if there were many casualties, but also did not hesitate, the war only reached a white-hot level in an instant, Rao is ** occupied the geographical advantage, but the casualties were still uncontrollably increasing rapidly, and from time to time there were soldiers who howled miserably and fell down the city.

The war was carried out tragically, a group of Tubo troops were disabled, and the other group followed up, not giving ** the slightest respite, as time went by, the city defense was already precarious, several times was rushed to the city by the Tubo army, if it were not for Wang Bing led the personal guards to plug the leakage, the city defense is afraid that it is going to be missed, even so, after a long battle, the ** officers and soldiers are already a little unable to support, just relying on tenacious willpower to insist, the situation is extremely unfavorable for the defenders.

"Qi Gong, it won't work like this, why don't Ben lead the cavalry out of the city and kill him."

Killed a group of Tubo infantry troops who rushed to the city again, Wang Bing's body was already drenched in blood, the whole person seemed to be fished out of the blood water, and his breath was even more urgent, seeing that the situation was not right, his heart was inevitably anxious, so he rushed to the city gate tower, roaring and shouting.

"That's fine, one blow will be back, don't chase after it, block this attack, and the Tibetan thieves will be powerless."

It is easy to open the city to attack, but it is not so easy to do, once it misses, not only the cavalry of the attack will be finished, the city gate will not be guaranteed, this kind of risk is not so easy to take risks, but the current situation is critical, Rao is Wan Liangcai has already played the command art of defending the city to the extreme, but under the attack of the Tubo army, seeing that even this first day will not be able to last, at this critical juncture, Wan Liangcai can not care so much, can only grit his teeth and agree to Wang Bing's proposal.

"Okay, then it's decided!"

At the critical moment, Wang Bing didn't want to be more verbose, and after giving an explanation, he rushed down the city wall, rushed to the cavalry that had been waiting behind the city for a long time, roared, and led his troops to rush along the street to the city gate......
