Chapter 618: Reinforcements Arrive
"Didn't you say it before? Why are they all dumb now? Did you see that my beams were no longer good, and they were ready to find another way? ”
Pseudo-Liang Palace, looking at these courtiers who were all standing in the main hall like dumb, Zhu Wen stood up from the dragon chair, pointed at everyone and scolded.
Liu Yan glanced at Jing Xiang and found that the other party didn't make any moves, so he decided not to rush and watch steadily.
At this time, a minister couldn't help coughing, and Zhu Wen, who was worried that he couldn't find an excuse, pointed at the minister, "Come on, drag him out for me, and kill him with a cane!" ”
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty spares your life! ”
Seeing the expressionless soldier coming over, the minister hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and the soldier who didn't get Zhu Wen's order naturally dragged the minister out directly.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty spares your life! ”
"Your Majesty...
"Zhu Wen, you tyrant, you can't die well, I will wait for you underground! Hahaha! ”
Soon, there was a scream outside, and then the sound grew weaker and weaker, until it finally disappeared completely.
During the whole process, Zhu Wen's face remained pale, and the ministers below were all terrified, for fear that they would be implicated.
Just when the main hall was quiet and panicked, Zhu Wen spoke, "What about King Bo?" ”
Liu Yan immediately stood up, "Back to Your Majesty, King Bo has been thinking about it in the palace. ”
"I thought about it... I thought about it. What have you thought about? From today on, the ban on him will be lifted, and as my Liang royal family, I should lead by example at this time. Isn't it just surrounded?
When we were at war with Qin Zongquan many years ago, didn't the other party's hundreds of thousands of troops also surround Bianzhou like this? In the end, we still won the victory, breaking the hundreds of thousands of troops of Qin's suzerain. Zhu Wen said disdainfully.
"Your Majesty is right, this is just a temporary predicament, under the wise and martial leadership of Your Majesty, Da Liang will definitely be able to survive this difficulty." Liu Yan hurriedly complimented.
"That's right, you have to have faith!"
"Do your Majesty's will!"
Although Zhu Wen was encouraging his fighting spirit, the ministers below had little confidence, although many people spoke, but it was more like moaning without illness.
Seeing this situation, Jing Xiang couldn't help but sigh, who would have thought that the beam, which was extremely strong a few months ago, has now reached this point.
Although the current situation seems to be very similar to when he fought with Qin Zongquan, it is actually very different.
Qin Zongquan's hundreds of thousands of troops were all rabble, and the Tang army outside the city was all elites who had fought many battles.
Can this be the same?
。。。。。。
Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate has jurisdiction over Liangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and Tumen Town.
"General, does the imperial court really ignore us?"
A soldier with a large and a small blood scab on his face came to the town general's mansion and looked gloomy when he saw the town general sitting in front of him who was being bandaged.
"Who said that? Didn't the imperial court already send reinforcements? As long as the reinforcements defeat the army of Rokutani, they will come to our rescue. The town general said excitedly.
As a result, the wound on the abdomen bleed again, and the white cloth that bandaged the wound was partially stained red with blood.
"General, don't get excited!" The military doctor hurriedly reminded.
Thinking of this wound on his body had to remind him of the battle that had just ended.
Although the scale was not large, and only 1,000 people were dispatched to attack the Rokutani tribe outside the city, they once attacked the earthen wall of Tumen Town.
In this case, only the whole army was on it, and his wound was cut by a Rokutani warrior during the battle.
Fortunately, it is not life-threatening, but the wound is not small, and you can't move around, otherwise the wound will crack open just like just now.
Moreover, there are less than 300 people left in the 800 border army in Tumen Town, and as for those people and those who are hiding in Tumen Town, they have long been armed.
It can be said that now all the staff are soldiers, regardless of men, women and children, otherwise they would not be able to hold out until now.
Originally, in the expectation of the town general, the people of the Rokuya tribe would not attack Tumen Town in a big way. But who would have thought that after the imperial court sent reinforcements, the Rokuya Department hoarded troops near Lanzhou to fight against the imperial court's reinforcements.
Of course, the Liugu Department still let the army surround Liangzhou, so Tumen Town became a nail between the Liangzhou Liugu Army and the Lanzhou Liugu Army, which was very eye-catching.
Originally, there were only 2,000 enemy troops outside Tumen Town, but later it increased to 5,000.
As a result, Tumen Town ushered in a difficult period of several months, and the casualties were so large.
"Damn, I didn't expect the boat to capsize in the gutter and be attacked by a little mongrel." At the mention of this wound on his body, the town general became angry, "Captain Chang, how long can our food last?" ”
Chang Hu arched his hand and said, "When you return to the town, you can still hold on for half a month." ”
"Half a month? It seems that this reinforcement may not be able to come in half a month, and it is ordered to go down, and from today onwards, the rations will be halved. Then he killed all the war horses and pack horses in the city, and kept them anyway, wasting food and grass to replenish the body of the brothers, and find a way to hold on for another month. The town general thought for a moment and said.
"The last general obeys!" Chang Hu responded, but thinking of the current situation, he couldn't help but ask, "General Zhen, didn't you say that there are reinforcements?" Why hasn't it arrived yet? ”
The town general shook his head, "This general is not clear, but not long after the rebellion of the Rokuya Ministry and others, the imperial court sent troops from all over the country to reinforce my Anxi Dadu Protectorate.
It hasn't arrived at Tumen Town yet, and it's likely that it's blocked by the Rokuya Division. ”
Seeing that the reinforcements were delayed, the morale of Tumen Town was also a little low, but when they saw the fluttering Tang Army flag, they were gritting their teeth and persevering.
But how long it will last, they don't know.
The imperial court did send reinforcements very early, and Xue Atan came with 28,000 reinforcements, plus the soldiers of various Tibetan tribes drawn from Lanzhou and Hezhou and other places, as well as the state soldiers from Lanzhou and other places, Xue Atan had almost 50,000 troops in his hands.
However, Xue Atan led his troops to advance and was ambushed by the Liugu Department in Shangchuan Town, northwest of Lanzhou, losing more than 10,000 troops.
The first battle of Shangchuan Town can be said to be the battle with the most losses since the war in Hexi.
After the fiasco of Shangchuan Town, Xue Atan once again led an army of 30,000 to attack, and tens of thousands of Liugubu troops fought fiercely near Zhongchuan Town, and after paying the price of tens of thousands of casualties, he failed to defeat the Liugubu army and could only retreat to Lanzhou.
Two successive battles failed to make a contribution, and Xue Atan was unable to attack, so he could only hold on to Lanzhou City in case the Liugu Department captured Lanzhou.
It is precisely for this reason that although reinforcements came early, they were blocked by the Rokutanibe army. Even if you know that the situation in Liangzhou, Ganzhou and other places is critical, there is no good way.
The two defeats had a great impact on Xue Atan, and also exposed his courage in battle, but his lack of strategy.
At this time, Liu Kui arrived near Lanzhou with 40,000 cavalry.
However, Liu Kui did not let 40,000 cavalry enter Lanzhou City, but set up camp thirty miles away from Lanzhou.
