Chapter 524: The Battle of Funiu River (9)
Under the dark night sky, the fire suddenly rose, first a glimmer of light, then a rush to the sky, accompanied by a burst of roars of fighting, in this silent night, it sounded so terrifying, all the defenders of the city were alarmed, rushed to the city one after another, and shouted indiscriminately.
"Let them shut up, those who dare to make noise again, kill, those who dare to run around, kill, those who do not keep their posts, kill!"
In fact, as early as the moment when the fire first started, he had already sensed that something was wrong, and he had already walked out of the city gate tower early, silently looking at the outpost army outside the city, and did not say a word for a long time, until he saw that the soldiers on the gate city were making too much trouble, so he frowned slightly and gave the order coldly.
"No!"
The captain of the guard was the first to find out that something had happened to the outpost army, but he didn't understand what it meant, but he just felt that the fire was too strange, and when he was in doubt, he suddenly heard the order of Gar Qinling, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly responded to the promise, and led a group of guards to rush to both sides of the city, shouting and teaching the rebels a hard lesson with their scabbards, and after working for a while, they finally suppressed the rebels.
"Prime minister, the last general asked for an order to lead his troops to attack to save the outpost army."
After the captain of the guard led his troops to suppress the rebels, he turned back to the Guancheng, and when he saw Gar Qinling standing still with a solemn expression, he couldn't help but feel a little worried, and hurriedly stepped forward and whispered.
"No need, ** is coming, this outpost army village can't be saved."
Hearing the sound, Gar Qinling, who had been standing for a long time, finally reacted, looked back at the captain of the guard, shook his head gently, and vetoed with a solemn face.
“**? **It's not more than 300 miles away from here, how can you get there so fast, this ......"
As early as when the captain of the guard was angry, he had vaguely guessed that this fire might be caused by **, but he was not sure, and he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard Gar Qinling say it so surely.
"Order: The whole army guards the city, and must not move without permission, and those who violate the order will be beheaded!"
Gar Qinling didn't explain more, but gave a cold command, and then turned his head back again, his eyes looking at the sky-high fire in the distance with complicated eyes, and his fingers flicked slightly, as if he was calculating something.
"Follow me, kill, leave no one!"
Gar Qinling guessed well, it was indeed ** that killed the outpost army, but not all of it, but only Zhang Chen, with only more than 1,300 troops, and a surprise attack on the Tubo outpost village with only more than 400 people at night, but it was not a matter of time before it was left and right, but the key to the problem was precisely in time, not for anything else, just because Zhang Chen's order was not just as simple as taking this outpost army, but to create the illusion that the whole army of the Hehuang Army had arrived, in this sense, Naturally, the sooner you take the outpost military village, the better, and it is precisely because of this that although the outpost military village has been successfully taken by surprise and successfully broken into the military village, it has not been able to completely annihilate the remnants of the Tubo army who are hiding in a corner of the military village and desperately resisting, which makes Zhang Chen extremely annoyed, so he shouted wildly, jumped off the horse, and led the personal guards to fight into the chaos.
Zhang Chen is a brave general, although he is only ranked fourth in the Hehuang army, but that is because the Hehuang army is full of talents, in fact, in terms of its martial arts, it is enough to deserve the reputation of ten thousand people, he joined the battlefield, the Tubo remnants of the army collapsed when they were originally unable to support it, and they were swarmed up to kill a piece of armor, with the defeat of this remnant enemy, the entire outpost army has completely fallen into the hands of the Hehuang army, and at this time, it is only about half an hour before the war starts, It's definitely a quick battle.
"The whole army obeys the order and extinguishes the fire!"
After destroying the remnants of the enemy, Zhang Chen did not lead his troops to approach Guancheng, nor did he order to camp on the spot, but shouted and commanded his soldiers to extinguish the raging fire in the military village.
The outpost military village is not big, it is generally a warning effect, of course, delaying the pace of the enemy's siege is also one of its functions, therefore, this military village facilities are very simple, and there is really nothing to burn, the previous fire is basically the tent where the Tubo army lived was ignited by the ** rocket, it is not difficult to put out the fire, more than 1,000 soldiers work together, before and after only half a quarter of an hour or so, the fire of the military village has been completely extinguished, except for some charcoal fire is still lit up uncertainly, The entire military village was once again immersed in darkness.
"Huh?"
Gar Qinling is an extremely stable person, and rarely has a gaffe, even if the outpost army is destroyed, he does not have much reaction, but when the army is extinguished, Gar Qinling is shocked to speak, and there is a faint glint in his eyes.
"Prime Minister, what is the Tang thief doing?"
The captain of the personal guard standing beside Gar Qinling obviously didn't understand what ** was doing at all, and seeing the fire in the military village extinguished, the surroundings suddenly quieted down, but the murderous aura in the air did not decrease but increased, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little weak, so he asked a question from the side.
"It's hard to say, let's see."
Gar Qinling didn't explain, just waved his hand and said lightly.
Dead silence, or dead silence, since the fire of the outpost army village was extinguished, nearly half an hour has passed, but under the city is a faction of dead silence, as if ** has never been to the general, this kind of dead silence before the big war is undoubtedly the most difficult moment, a group of officers and soldiers defending the city are all nervous, no one knows whether ** will launch an attack overnight, can only be nervous to tighten the strings in the heart, for a long time, the physical consumption is quite amazing, the battle has not been fought, Heavy wheezing from the top of the city was already resounding one after another.
"Pass the order, take turns to rest, and don't have to crowd the city until wartime!"
Gar Qinling is an old man in the war, although he is frowning and pondering, but he will not forget to pay attention to the state of the defenders at the head of the city, this time seeing that all the soldiers are restless, their brows can't help but wrinkle a little deeper, some of them shook their heads helplessly, and gave a casual order.
"No!"
Since Gar Qinling had already given the order, the captain of the personal guard who was accompanying him did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly answered the promise, and turned around, just about to convey the order, but coldly heard a terrible horn sound under the city, and his turning body froze involuntarily.
"Woo, woo, woo......"
The sound of the horn suddenly started, and instantly smashed the false tranquility into pieces, and then, a sound of horses' hooves roared, and the shouting of killing broke out, the momentum was extremely huge, how did it sound like ** launched a strong attack at night, and the city was already nervous A group of Tibetan officers and soldiers were a little panicked, although no one dared to say nonsense, but all of them unconsciously clenched the blades in their hands, nervously waiting for the outbreak of the siege war, but left and right did not see the ** rush up, but half an hour later, The sound of the trumpets ceased abruptly, and the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of slaughter died down, and the silent night fell silent again.
"What's going on? What are the Tang thieves doing? ”
"I don't know, why did this person say that he was gone?"
"What's the matter, is this battle going to be fought or not?"
……
The Tubo army waited for a while, but they still didn't wait for the attack of **, one by one at a loss, they forgot the order to keep quiet, and talked nonsense, and the buzzing noise of the whole city was like a vegetable market.
"Woo, woo, woo......"
Just when the officers and soldiers defending the city relaxed slightly, the terrible horn sounded again, accompanied by the rumbling sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing, which made the Tibetan officers and soldiers panic for a while, but as soon as the spirit was tense, the sound was gone.
"Woo, woo, woo......"
The scolding of the Tibetan officers and soldiers was only heard, but the horn under the city sounded again, which made the Tibetan officers and soldiers really cry and laugh, but they did not dare to relax, and they could only tense their nerves again, ready to fight, as a result, the noise lasted for half an hour, but it stopped abruptly, this time, the officers and soldiers who were fooled three times in a row even ran out of strength to scold, and they were all tired and slumped on the city.
"Order: The whole army is on alert, and must not be neglected slightly, and those who violate the order will be killed! In addition, send a message to the armies outside, and immediately gather to Funiu River, there must be no mistake! “
The armies lost their spirit, but Gar Qinling suddenly woke up, and his eyes were extremely sharp and gave two orders in a row - the city is **, which Gar Qinling has long known in his heart, but it is only difficult to judge whether it is all or only one of the Hehuang army, when the outpost army was destroyed before, Gar Qinling was calculating the time of the destruction of the outpost, so as to infer the total strength of the Hehuang army, the result is still not too sure, but at this time** After playing this tired strategy, Gar Qinling didn't dare to hesitate any longer, after all, he had learned too much about the combat power of the Hehuang army, don't look at the fact that he now has the advantage of closing the city, but once the Hehuang army launched a strong attack, he didn't dare to guarantee how long the Tubo army defending the city could support, if the city fell, then the city of Fuqi would not be able to be saved, this dangerous Gar Qinling did not dare to take the risk, so far, he can only take a gamble on his heart......
