Chapter 13 Seeing Death and Not Saving
The sky was like an overturned inkstone, and the thick and mellow night obscured everything that glowed, a lifeless dead black. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Pei Min led the soldiers of the Shence Army to move their positions against the cold east wind.
Behind him were countless torches swaying, flashing and flashing. became a sinuous fiery serpent. against the darkness around them. Looking down from a high place, it looks like a star has fallen.
Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves from behind on the right, and Li Yide rode to the nearest place and said, "Pei Shuai, it's already here." The cavalry of Tubo came out of Baigu City, and it was too dark to see the number clearly, but it would not be much, at most 2,000 people. ”
"This is a tentative attack, and they can't figure out our intentions, so they specially sent ranger cavalry to test the reality. You lead 3,000 cavalry to engage in battle, don't pursue, just win and retreat, if you lose, you are asked. Pei Min gave the order without thinking.
The four cities and one bridge of Baigu, Wanxiu, Shudu, Da Momen and Jintianqiao are interlocking with each other and can support each other.
If in ordinary times, it is impossible to surprise Wanxiu City, and if it is attacked in one place, it will be supported by many parties.
Now there is this opportunity, because for the decisive battle, Simalang's generals have gathered to the front line of Baigu City, so that the defenders of Dewanxiu, Shudu, Da Momen and Jintianqiao are insufficient. The tree stump, the Great Momen, and the Golden Sky Bridge have no support, and only Baigu City has a chance to support.
In order to avoid this, Pei Min mobilized the soldiers and horses of the Shence Army overnight and detoured back to the left side of Baigu City to attract the attention of the generals in Baigu City and buy time for the soldiers who attacked Wanxiu City.
The sound of fighting sounded not far away, and wailing and shouting came one after another.
The night was too dark, and Pei Min couldn't see the battle situation clearly, so he just judged who won and who lost by which side of the shouts in his ears were loud.
Time passed bit by bit, and the sound of fighting gradually became smaller, and Li Yide's tiger-like roar could be vaguely heard, as if the overall situation had been decided.
Pei Min breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about the structure of the four cities and one bridge, and found that he had a relaxed feeling in his heart in addition to a little disappointment.
The establishment of four cities and one bridge originated from the planning of the Tubo military god Garqin Mausoleum, as the number one enemy of the Tang Dynasty in the past, not only captured the four towns of Anxi such as Qiuzi, Yanqi, Shule, and Khotan from the hands of the Tang Dynasty, cut off the Tang Dynasty's transportation to the northwest line and Central Asia, but also defeated Xue Rengui, Liu Xianli, Wang Xiaojie, Lou Shide and other famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, his talent is undoubted.
Just from the structure of the four cities and one bridge, it can also be seen how amazing the operation of the Garqin Mausoleum itself is.
It's just like the old Chinese saying, "The birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden; The cunning rabbit died, and the lackeys cooked", Tubo Zampu self-destroyed the Great Wall and forced the Garqin Mausoleum to death, causing most of the generals trained by the Garqin Mausoleum to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, including the son of the god of war on Gongren.
Tubo also because of the self-destruction of the Great Wall, since then into the situation of green and yellow, compared to the Garqin Mausoleum period, there are Zanpo, Sita, Yu Bo and other generals who let the Tang Dynasty have to retreat, and now Tubo really can't get a few decent dates.
Simo Lang is good at guarding, but the strategy is insufficient, Shang Zanpo is still good at using military wisdom, but his temperament is defective, he is too impatient, and it is difficult to become a big tool if he is not polished.
As for the others, Pei Min really can't think of any outstanding people worth talking about in Tubo at this moment.
It's a blessing to be able to play against a famous player, but it's not a fun thing to meet an opponent like Garqinling, or at least one thing is certain, it won't be as smooth as it is now.
So Pei Min was fortunate and a little disappointed in his heart.
**********
Hundred Valley City!
Si Mo Lang was originally in charge of the overall situation in Da Momen City, and his original tactic was to use four cities and one bridge to support each other in order to consume the Tang army.
He is still very confident in his defensive ability, and believes that he can hold on, let alone four months, ten months is not a problem.
However, things were far from going as he had planned, and when the winter was not conducive to attacking, Ren was used by the other side, and instead he took advantage of his army, using the insignificant hay he had neglected, directly cutting off their rations and forcing them into a desperate situation where they had to fight.
Xi Molang was also helpless, and was defeated in turn, and the economy of Tibet was already greatly regressed, and there was a shortage of materials, and it was impossible to have manpower, material and financial resources to transport them to the food needed by the army and civilians in a short period of time, so they could only throw everything aside and fight against the water.
In order to boost morale, Sivelan himself came to the front line.
Xi Molang is familiar with the book of war, and knows the allusion of the Chu overlord Xiang Yu who broke the cauldron and sunk the boat during the Chu and Han dynasties, and at this moment he followed this method and informed the generals of the battle situation to inspire them to fight to the death.
As long as the soldiers and generals gather, it is the time for a decisive battle.
The night is dark and the wind is high, Si Mo Lang stands on the city tower and frowns, what he is best at is to respond to all changes with the same, and now he meets Pei Min, who has a changeable and imaginative playing style, he is really not sure of his true intentions.
The Tang army made it clear that it had already taken the initiative in the battle, and if he didn't recuperate and wait for him to attack, why did he abandon the camp and leave, what was the purpose?
Just when Si Mo Lang was thinking hard and meditating, he suddenly received the news of the attack on Baigu City!
In an instant, Xi Mo Lang was like a heavy blow, and his face turned pale.
Once the Tang army captured Baigu City, and in turn refused to defend the city, they would be doomed.
The Tang army has enough supplies to survive this winter, and even if they barely survive, the cattle and sheep will definitely not be able to resist.
Breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, fighting against the water, there is still a glimmer of life, so that the Tang army can find an opportunity to delay, and there is only failure to go all the way.
Thinking of this, Si Mo Lang gave an order to support Baigu City with a solemn face.
Half an hour later, the front line was not at the front line, but the news came: Lun Gongren led the cavalry to intercept their reinforcements, and the two sides fought anxiously.
"It's over! It's all over! Si Mo Lang thought in despair, and suddenly he thought of Shang Tsangpo.
Stone Castle City is not within the four cities and one bridge, but it is also very close to Baigu City, and there is time, opportunity and troops to support Baigu City. If Shang Zanpo sent troops to support and saved Baigu City, then they would be able to sabotage the Tang army's plan.
There is still hope......
Meanwhile!
Shang Tsangpo is also entangled!
Shibao City is located at the highest point of the mountain range of Mengchiling, and from the height, the changes in Baigu City are all in sight, and the guards guarding the city will inform him of the situation as soon as possible.
To save or not to save!
Shang Tsampa is really embarrassed, considering the overall situation, she should be rescued, no need to hesitate.
But if he is saved, what will happen to Stone Castle City?
This may be the trick of the Tang army, in order to attract them to send troops to rescue, so that they can take the opportunity to attack......
For the sake of a hundred valley city, is it worth changing stone castle city?
Shang Zanpo was uncertain.
In terms of value, it is obviously not worth it, but Baigu City is extremely important to the Tang Army in the overall situation, and if the Tang Army occupies Baigu City, the next battle will not be easy to fight.
In a dilemma!
Shang Tsampa never imagined that she would find herself in such a situation.
Thinking about it, he hesitated again and again.
Shang Zanpo gritted her teeth and made up her mind to pay attention, don't save it!
