The sudden appearance of the steam convoy made the three tribesmen above and below the city on high alert.

If they were there to help the attackers under the city, the city would only break faster.

If they were there to help the defenders, the attackers would be in big trouble.

The commander of the Yue Xi Zhao shouted and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Hearing the inquiry, Li Su suddenly had an idea, and he, who was in the Chinese army, couldn't help but pick up the loudspeaker and shouted loudly:

"Don't get excited, don't get excited, we're here to deliver supplies to you! Isn't it the food and weapons you want? ”

Food and weapons?

When did we buy food and weapons from Datang?

While the besieging soldiers under the city were stunned, Datang's steam convoy continued to march with a bang.

How fast the steam chariot was, but after a while, it formed a preliminary confrontation with the siege soldiers.

The speed of the steam chariot has never stopped, and it is forming an encirclement of the besieging side.

"Stop, stop!"

"Stop!"

"If we don't stop, we're going to attack!"

It's just that the two edicts of Yue Analysis and Langqiong only dare to talk about them.

They really don't dare to take the initiative.

Once they take the lead, Datang can fight back without any scruples.

When the time comes, I'm afraid that they will only be the ones who will suffer.

"Shoot!"

At this moment, Li Su held a loudspeaker and gave the order to attack loudly.

Sou!

Sou! Sou!

The sky was full of arrows, and suddenly it rained down.

The soldiers of the Yue Xi Zhao and the Lang Qiong Zhao were already very thin in their armor, and they could not be compared with the Central Plains.

Even the Turkic armor was much better than theirs.

Though they still have shields in their hands.

But with the strength of their shields, they couldn't resist the strong crossbows of the Tang Dynasty.

For a time, the soldiers of these two departments were suddenly killed and wounded!

"Fight back! Fight back! ”

The luck in their hearts was shattered, and it turned out that the Tang army really came to fight against them.

Their soldiers, dodging the rain of arrows, drew their bows and arrows and began to return fire.

It's a pity that their bows and arrows, shot at the steel chariot, can only make a clanging sound, and they are quickly bounced away.

Their bows and arrows can only leave shallow marks on the chariot, and they can't even leave a deep pit.

And Datang's crossbow arrows seem to be endless, as if they will never stop.

The soldiers of both of them kept falling.

At this time, the soldiers on the city wall were all surprised and happy when they saw this scene.

That's great! It's really great!

Unexpectedly, Datang's steel team actually attacked two people.

Although they still don't know the motives of the Tang Dynasty, at least, they can also force back the people and horses who attacked them in advance!

"Attack!"

On the city wall, Duan Gongming, the king of Meng's edict, also decisively gave the order to attack.

As a result, the soldiers on the city wall fell directly into the well, and threw bows and arrows, rolling logs and other sharp weapons to defend the city, as if they didn't want money.

In this way, the men and horses of the Yue Analysis Edict and the Langqiong Edict are tantamount to adding insult to injury, and the speed of the rout will be even faster.

They quickly organized their soldiers and evacuated the battlefield.

However, the speed of the Datang steel chariot is too fast, how can they outrun the steam car with the speed of their two legs?

Of course, not everyone participated in the siege of the two edicts of Yue Xi and Langqiong edicts.

Each of them left 5,000 cavalry to respond.

At this time, the commander-in-chief of these two divisions quickly ordered their respective cavalry to meet their siege soldiers.

Trying to get them out.

If they don't go to the rescue, then their losses will be too great.

At this moment, the third steel chariot team of Datang appeared and made a fierce impact on the cavalry of the two divisions.

A few years ago, Datang's steam tricycle actually had this defect.

The steam tricycles are afraid of violent impacts.

If it collides with a galloping war horse, the war horse will certainly be shattered.

But the steam tricycle also has a risk of rolling over.

And once it rolls over, it is impossible to stand up on the battlefield.

However, today's steam cars do not have this disadvantage at all.

Now the steam cars made by Datang are more robust than the mud trucks of later generations.

Therefore, the current steel chariot is not afraid of colliding with cavalry at all.

And the cavalry of the two divisions of the Yue Xi Zhao and the Langqiong Zhao, their bows and arrows could not break through the defense of the steel chariot at all.

Even in terms of speed, it is slower than the steel chariot.

In the face of Datang's steel chariot, they are like dogs biting hedgehogs, and they can't eat at all.

And their cavalry fell like straw.

The battlefield is completely one-sided.

The steel chariots of the Tang Dynasty, in the face of fighting with the cavalry, they have incomparably rich experience.

However, the cavalry of the Yue Xi Zhao and the Langqiong Zhao were the first time they encountered the steel chariots of the Tang Dynasty.

In the face of the steel chariot, they really couldn't fight, they couldn't escape, they could only watch the soldiers around them, constantly attrition.

In the end, the commanders of the two divisions, Yue Xi Zhao and Lang Qiong Zhao, found that things were not good, and had to tearfully order their cavalry to retreat.

So far, the cavalry of these two divisions has lost almost seventy percent.

As for the infantry attacking the city, even fewer were able to escape the pursuit of the steel chariots.

Fortunately, just as the Datang Steel Chariot continued to pursue them menacingly, they finally discovered a weakness of the Steel Chariot.

That is, as long as they left the road and ran into the uneven field, the steel chariot could not continue to chase them.

Relying on this method, they finally got rid of the pursuit of the Datang steel chariot.

In the end, the two departments of Yue Xi Zhao and Lang Qiong Zhao counted the number of people.

As a result, it was sad to find that each of them, the soldiers who escaped, were only three or four thousand!

And just today, when the city was attacked, there were 15,000 of them!

In this battle, the losses were so heavy that the commanders of the two departments had a feeling of vomiting blood.

Fifteen thousand soldiers, although not the entire strength of their tribe, is not much different.

After this battle, their strength was even lower than that of the Mengxian edict they joined forces to attack.

When they get back, they'll have to think about their next strategy.

……

And on the wall of the Meng's edict, the Meng's group of people is cheering excitedly.

If the city is breached by any of these two tribes, all the clansmen they have been edicted to will end up extremely miserable.

Men will be slaughtered and women will be subjected to unimaginable humiliation.

And now, their enemies have been driven away.

They're finally safe!

However, at this time, Duan Gongming, the king of the edict, and the generals of the tribe still had deep worries.

Datang's steel chariot certainly helped them defeat the invading enemy.

But what is the intention of the Tang Dynasty?

Are they really here to help us?

If Datang also came to invade them, it would really have just driven away the jackals and the tigers again!

At this moment, on the city wall, they suddenly saw a car rapidly approaching their city gate.

At this time, the eyes of all the defending soldiers on the city wall were attracted to it.

I'm afraid Datang's intention will be revealed soon.

And at this moment, on the city wall, suddenly a soldier pointed to the chariot and shouted: "Look, princess, the princess is in that chariot!" ”

"It's the princess! It's Princess Yutong! ”

"It turned out to be the rescuer brought by the princess!"

"Princess! Princess! ”

On the city wall, the soldiers who had been edicted couldn't help but cheer loudly.

Within the city walls, the people of the Imperial Edict soon understood what was happening, and they also shouted loudly for the princess.

At this time, Duan Gongming was also overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered someone to open the city gate.

and personally led the generals of the edict to greet them in person.

Since the princess was also in their chariot, and was not held hostage.

This is enough to prove that this is the rescuer invited by the princess.

Of course, it's actually more important.

It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

Because of the Tang Dynasty, there is no need for any conspiracy at all, and they can easily destroy their city.

Therefore, Duan Gongming generously opened the city gate and greeted the next one in person.

And Li Su also took Princess Duan Yutong and got off the chariot.

The tank is still very tall.

And Li Su, in order to observe the battlefield, was in the back carriage.

When he got out of the car, Li Su easily jumped off.

But Princess Duan Yutong is not so easy.

In the carriage, I didn't dare to get down.

After hesitating for a moment, she wrinkled her cute little nose and said to Li Su: "Brother, you help me." ”

Li Su laughed, and couldn't help but stretch out his arm, ready to help Princess Yutong.

But unexpectedly, Duan Yutong actually jumped down and jumped directly into his arms.

Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and gently put her on the ground.

Duan Yutong's face flushed, and for a while, she looked very cute.

In front of the city gate, Duan Gongming and the generals glanced at each other, and they all saw surprise in each other's eyes.

It seems that Princess Yutong and the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty have a very close relationship.

In this way, they are much more at ease.

However, at this time, deep in Gongming's heart, there was a feeling of dripping blood.

His eldest daughter has married into the Tang Dynasty.

And this younger daughter is not only more beautiful than the eldest daughter, but also smarter and more sensible.

Duan Gongming loves this little daughter very much.

Prepare to recruit her the bravest warrior of the tribe as a son-in-law, and keep her by his side, ready to be seen.

But now it seems that his wish is destined to come to naught!

Soon, the two sides approached, only a dozen paces apart.

Duan Yutong rushed to Duan Gongming's side quickly and shouted happily: "Father! ”

Duan Gongming stroked Duan Yutong's hair, laughed and said, "Yutong, thank you for your hard work!"

Duan Yutong said with a smile: "What do I have to work for? Father, you are the ones who have worked hard! By the way, Father, let me introduce you to you! ”

Duan Gongming laughed and said: "The good name of the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty, who in the world doesn't know it, who doesn't know it?" ”

"Respected His Royal Highness the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty, personally lead the army to relieve the danger of my tribe and save tens of thousands of my tribes from fire and water, please accept the worship of this king!"

After that, Duan Gongming and a cadre of generals bowed down to Li Su.

Li Su hurriedly said: "King Nanzhao doesn't have to be polite, we are neighbors, neighbors are in trouble, mutual aid is due, where do you need to be grateful?" ”

Hearing Li Yu's words, Duan Gongming hurriedly said: "Your Highness, Xiao Wang never dares to claim to be the king of Nanzhao, the land of Nanzhao, I am only afraid of the weakest strength now, where can I afford this title?" ”

Li Su smiled and said: "A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, doesn't the king have the ambition to be the king of Nanzhao?" ”

Can there be none?

There must be a dream!

But dreams are just dreams, and they must be based on reality.

Duan Gongming couldn't help but smile bitterly: "However, my strength is meager, so I really don't dare to think about it!" ”

Li Su smiled and said, "What if, coupled with the strong support of my Datang?" ”

Duan Gongming's face showed a thoughtful expression, and he couldn't help asking, "What does Your Highness mean?" ”

Li Su said meaningfully: "The Nanzhao region is in turmoil, and it will even disturb my Tang border. ”

"For my Datang, of course, I hope to have a unified Nanzhao who is good friends with my Datang! I don't know what the king wants? ”

After listening to Li Yu's words, the ecstasy on Duan Gongming's face flashed, but the excitement could not be concealed.

The opportunity that belongs to him Duan Gongming is here!

Duan Gongming couldn't help but say: "So I don't dare to ask for ears!" If Datang can help Xiao Wang unify the Southern Zhao, which Xiao Wang will never invade Datang. ”

"Xiao Wang is going to hold a banquet to entertain His Highness, His Highness can make a little preparation, we are here, I respectfully invite Your Highness."

The so-called slight preparation is a kind word.

In fact, it is to let Li Su take the guards.

In the city, it is the base camp of their Mengzhi Ministry.

As the King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty, even if they are partners for the time being, I am afraid that the King of Shu will bring a large number of guards into the city.

Unexpectedly, Li Su laughed and said: "They are all generals who lead troops to fight, why do you need such trouble?" The king is about to taste the wine of your Mengzhao tribe, and now, he can finally get his wish! ”

With that, Li Su raised his feet and walked towards the city.

And by Li Su's side, only Li Yuanfang and more than a dozen guards were with him.

Duan Gongming glanced at Li Su deeply and said, "Your Highness, please!" ”

"Your Majesty, please!"

In the land of Nanzhao, there are indeed many delicacies.

It's just that there are so many delicacies that Li Su doesn't dare to taste.

For example, there are dishes such as snakes and voles, and Li Su doesn't dare to put down chopsticks.

However, those wild birds and wild meat such as mountain muntjac taste quite good, which makes Li Su feast.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Duan Gongming and Li Su began to discuss how to unify the entire Nanzhao.

After discussion, the two finally decided that they would first take the two edicts of Yue Analysis and Langqiong.

After all, these two divisions had just been defeated by the Tang Army and suffered heavy casualties.

Their strength is probably one in ten.

As long as they don't look for foreign help and attack quickly, I believe that they will be able to take these two tribes soon.

As for the remaining three tribes, it will not be too late to make a decision after the integration of these two tribes.

The soldiers were very fast, and the two decided to send troops that night and directly attack the nearest Yue Xizhao.

That night, Duan Gongming ordered 10,000 soldiers and horses in the tribe.

At the same time, Li Su also sent 1,000 steam cars and 10,000 Tang soldiers, with the soldiers of Duan Gongming's department, to quickly march towards Yue Xizhao.

The distance between the two was not far, and that night, they came to the outside of the Yuexi Zhao tribe.

At this time, the two edicts of Yue Analysis and Langqiong suffered a major defeat, which was almost a catastrophe for them.

These two were terrified at this time.

The two of them have attacked the Mengshan edict, and sooner or later the Mengshan edict will come to take revenge on them.

When the edict came, they had no way to resist.

Therefore, these two ministries decided to unite one or two of the other three ministries to jointly fight against the Mongol edict.

Of course, they know very well in their hearts that weakness is the original sin.

The strength is weak, and if it can't rise soon, it will be swallowed by other tribes sooner or later.

At this time, they were extremely wary and suspicious of the edict.

But after all the calculations, they didn't calculate, and Meng Zhao would attack tonight.

In their imagination, at the very least, Meng Xian Zhao also needed to prepare for a few days of preparation before attacking.

So, when it was too hard at night, their tribe had little defense.

And their city walls, not much different from those of the Mengsang, are very low.

They didn't send too many soldiers to defend either.

Therefore, the soldiers who were ordered by Meng Zhao easily broke through the city walls, and then quickly opened the city gates and rushed towards their tribe.

In the middle of the night, countless Yue Xi Zhao people were awakened in their sleep by the sound of rushing and killing.

The soldiers who had crossed the edict woke up from their panic and rushed out of the house with their bare hands before they could even get dressed.

What awaits them is a merciless slaughter.

Because they have not been prepared, it is obvious that the combat readiness is not a first-level combat readiness, and there is no waiting for them.

Their weapons and armor were now stacked in the storeroom.

It will only be given to them when there is a war.

And now, obviously, the other side will not give them time to find armor and weapons.

For a while, the more and more the edict couldn't help but be in chaos.

The king of Yue Xizhao hurriedly gathered five hundred personal soldiers and quickly rushed out of the east city gate.

Fortunately, his personal soldiers are very elite, and they are usually with ice armor on their side.

In the chaos, the soldiers couldn't stop it, and they rushed out.

However, the task of the edict is to destroy their living force as much as possible.

For those who rush out, they don't chase either.

Then, it only took the middle of the night for the edict to be given, and by the time dawn came, they had completely controlled the palace of the edict.

Some fly in the ointment is that they were run away by their king.

However, soon, Li Su sent the king of Yue Xizhao and the corpses of the five hundred personal soldiers he led.

It turned out that the 1,000 steam cars led by Li Su were deployed ten miles outside the city.

The king of Yue Xizhao and the five hundred soldiers he led broke into their encirclement.

The end is naturally conceivable.

At this point, the edict of Yue Xi has been taken down by them.

With the death of the king of Yue Xizhao, it also means that the tribe of Yue Xi Zhao has been declared extinct.

Of course, as a small country, the Yue Xi Zhao will certainly not have only one city, the royal palace.

It's just that the remaining cities, even villages, basically lack the ability to protect themselves.

Not to mention defending against the edicts.

In the Nanzhao region, the conquest was extremely chaotic.

These small countries are often destroyed.

Which of the small villages below doesn't even care who rules them.

They just need to choose to obey and pay their taxes on time.

Therefore, as long as they breached their royal palace, they basically occupied the entire country.

Yue analyzed the edict and was easily taken down by them.

The next target is the Langqiong Edict.

However, if you want to continue using the old way, it obviously won't work.

The war here will definitely arouse the vigilance of the Langqiong Imperial Department.

Their defense is bound to be very thorough.

A day later, Xue Rengui arrived with 30,000 cavalry.

Duan Gongming couldn't help but be surprised and happy when he saw that Datang actually sent so many soldiers and horses.

Naturally, Xi came to a great boost.

Surprisingly, Datang's power is too huge.

It's easy to swallow them.

……

In the following time, Duan Gongming kept looking for the weakness of the Lang Qiong Zhao.

It's a pity that they cowered in the city and didn't fight them head-on at all.

If you want to take down the Wave Dome Edict, you must attack head-on.

But Duan Gongming only had 10,000 soldiers and horses.

And Lang Qiong Zhao also has almost 8,000 soldiers and horses.

There is not much difference in the strength of the two sides, and if you attack hard, you will definitely not be able to attack it.

Duan Gongming found Li Su and wanted Li Su to send 10,000 troops to assist them in attacking the city.

As a result, Li Su categorically refused.

What are you kidding, I Datang will help you unify Nanzhao, and it's okay to contribute.

But for things like siege, don't come to this king.

Siege warfare is a huge meat grinder, with heavy casualties.

I, a Tang soldier, am expensive, how can I accompany you to participate in the siege?

However, you can't keep it glued and don't do anything!

Li Su couldn't help but sacrifice an unmanned reconnaissance plane and began to detect the situation in Langqiong Zhao City.

However, Li Su did not find any obvious flaws.

And, I have to say, Lang Qiong Zhao is extremely cautious.

The calculation is at night, and the intensity of the patrol is not low at all.

Even if Li Su sent soldiers to attack the camp at night, there would inevitably be losses.

How can we help Duan Gongming break through the city?

You can't keep it like this.

Duan Gongming is an ambitious person, but his ambition is not so big.

He currently has only 10,000 soldiers.

If he can't take the edict for a long time, I'm afraid Duan Gongming will be disappointed, and it is very likely that he will lose his enterprising spirit.

If he doesn't want to continue the war, but is satisfied with his current territory, why should he find another person to cooperate?

This is very likely to happen, after all, Duan Gongming has now taken a small country, and his territory has doubled.

After reconnoitering the terrain again, Li Su saw a river that flowed through Lang Qiongzhao, and Li Su couldn't help but have an idea.

Li Su couldn't help but find Duan Gongming, and then asked him: "If you put a fire inside the Langqiong Edict, what are the chances of you being able to break the city?" ”

After a deep groan, Duan Gongming couldn't help but say: "It depends on the size of the fire, if the fire is big enough, at least ninety percent sure!" ”
