12. Taiden falls to the Jedi

"What if the beggar hides and hides from the southwest of Taideng City and flees to Kunming City?" Gao Yue asked the question that concerned him the most. Follow? Dream?. lā

Ma Dingde said, so we must first break through the reinforcements in the direction of Xigong and Lacheng in Xibo, and then rush down to seize the cities of Nuoji and Kunming, so as to block the retreat of begging and hiding.

"Be fast, and seal him before he changes his mind."

Wei Gao and Gao Yue both agreed, and eagerly made the following arrangements:

On the one hand, Cai Fengyuan and Guo Zaizhen's three battalions of chariot commanders, the cavalry of the three armies of Dingwu, Fengyi, and Yining were sent back, and then with the Eastern Barbarians as the vanguard, three waves of rapid attacks were captured, and the high platform opposite the Saigon River was captured;

In the two, the Dingwu army from Liuqiang Town, cooperated with Ma Dingde's surrender troops, and marched to Taiden City step by step, provoking to attract the attention of beggars and hides;

Of the three, the infantry of the Fengyi Army and the Yining Army, in addition to resting and recuperating, each drew ten battalions and went to the southwest in a roundabout way, captured the two cities of Nuoji and Kunming, and recruited some local barbarians;

Fourth, he ordered Xie Facheng, the envoy of the Dongchuan soldiers and horses, and Liu Chaocai, the envoy of the army of Li Wucheng, to launch an attack on Dazhai in the west of Hulang Mountain, to create momentum, contain the attention of the beggar and hide on the flank, and get in touch with the soldiers and horses of Yimu at any time, and complete the preparations for the encirclement of the platform and the city as soon as possible.

When he went to the enemy platform of the city, he saw that there was a huge offensive of the Tang army in all directions, and a large number of Dongchuan soldiers on the other side of the rope water were storming their own camp on Hulang Mountain, and the two sides set fire to each other, and the shouts came with the gust of wind.

Soon, Liu Chaocai's troops also cut into the rear of Hulang Mountain and began to attack Iron Stone Mountain.

And from the direction of Liuqiang Town, it was the soldiers and horses of Gao Yue Dingwu's army, and Ma Dingde led the three thousand rebel enemy soldiers to accompany them, Ma Dingde and Lang Xixi were particularly arrogant, and they advised Xifan Fort everywhere to open the door and surrender, and then the soldiers of the Dingwu Army dismantled the civil engineering and masonry of the surrendered fort, and entered the mountain five miles away from Taideng City, and built fortifications.

As for the Nanzhao Wang, Yimu Xun, he has also captured Shaye City and Sanfu City behind, killing hundreds of soldiers stationed in the two cities, in order to vent the resentment of the defeat of Xihushui in the past, only five teenagers were sent to Tai to report the news to the city, creating panic.

The panic was indeed overflowing, and the defenders in the city of Taideng were panicked, and many enemy defense envoys and cage officials came to beg to beg for shelter, and could not hold on any longer, and took advantage of the fact that the southwest road had not been cut off, and hurriedly fled to Kunming City.

"There are also reinforcements from Qinghai and Sanssouci City that haven't come! Besides, if this theory escapes like this, isn't it a betrayal of the reinforcements of Saigon and Lacheng? They must have been attacked by Gao Yue and Wei Gao and destroyed! "Begging to hide and cover up is still stubborn, and give an order, Taideng City is a deep ditch, there are many forts and sanitation around, weapons and food are enough to support three years, as long as you are determined to defend it, the Tang army will soon run out of supplies and retreat.

What the beggar didn't know at this time was that Gao Yue and Wei Gao had ordered the army to force their way across the Saigon River and launch a general attack on the platform defended by Sita Yang Zhu's troops!

The sound of trumpets and war drums resounded through the river, the first to wade in the water was the leading Eastern barbarian soldiers, they were close together, carrying spears and machetes, and rushed to the shore one after another, the two ghost lords at that time, Hu Pang was especially brave, personally riding horses to stand in the formation, and the high platform counterattack of the Fan soldiers to the death, both sides of a team of soldiers and horses, all entangled in the river beach under the high platform, corpses, blood stains covered in the middle.

"The cavalry of the Tang people is coming!" Between the layers of wielding and stabbing weapons, the soldiers of Saigon and Lacheng trembled like thunder when they heard the ground under their feet, and then they looked to the left, the Dingwu Army trapped the three battalions of cavalry, assault cavalry, and rangers, the three battalions of the Hussars, Light Cavalry, and War Cavalry of the Yining Army, as well as the cavalry of the two battalions of the Xichuan Fengyi Army and Xundian, and the mule soldiers of Xingyuan and Xichuan.

Now Tangjiafang Town in the northwest and Sanchuan has a strong cavalry team, and it is not afraid of Xifan, who has always been good at cavalry, when fighting, not to mention any assault infantry, even if it fights cavalry to attack, it is also hard to scream!

Sita Yang Zhu personally led the cavalry, hurriedly rushed forward, and rushed to kill the Tang cavalry who attacked and rushed to kill, instantly flying axes, arrows, and stone throws rained together, blood splashed on their respective mole armor, and then they stabbed each other with horse lances, and those who fell were the bravest and best soldiers of the two countries

This time, there were six or seven thousand cavalry and mule soldiers from the Tang army, plus thousands of Eastern barbarians who were not afraid of death, and the decline of Sita Yang Zhu gradually appeared, and at this time, Cai Fengyuan and Guo Zaizhen led the three battalions of chariot fighters also arrived.

Sita Yang Zhu was afraid that the retreat route would be cut off, so he ordered the whole army to retreat to the high platform, waiting for an opportunity to break through.

But Yang Zhu is anxious, and the Tang army is even more anxious - especially the Fengpa ghost lord Bi Pong, who has a deep hatred with Xifan, and said to himself: "Don't let half of the soldiers on the high platform go back!" After speaking, he took the lead and encouraged the Eastern barbarians who had just crossed the river in a bloody battle, regardless of casualties and fatigue, bravely climbed and attacked the high platform, Sidor Yang Zhu's troops were horrified, and hurriedly fled from the high platform - Cai Fengyuan and Guo Zaizhen's three battalions cut off the passage between the valleys, and took turns firing firearms and rockets, and the Tang cavalry also pursued to cover the kill, Sidor Yang Zhu was killed by drinking bullets on the way to break through, and the reinforcements on this road in Saigon and Lacheng collapsed, and there were no three out of ten who fled back.

Immediately, the Tang army of the other Lu passed through the Saigon River and captured the city of Nuoji, which was later renamed Pu'an City by Wei Gao.

Two days later, Qinghai's Xifan reinforcements were unknowingly ambushed by the Tang army and the Eastern barbarians on both sides when they passed through the Saigong River Valley, and immediately killed three enemy defense envoys and 15 cage officials.

Feeling desperate, he remembered to send 3,000 soldiers to Kunming City in an attempt to secure the way out.

However, Gao Yue and Wei Gao sent ten more battalions to rush over and consolidate the vested Nuoji City, and the passage between Kunming City and Taideng City was also cut off.

A few days later, Yi Mu Xun's army captured Suqi County and blocked the city of Taideng from the south.

Now the begging is really surrounded on all sides.

The Tang army successively defeated the reinforcements from Saigon, Lacheng, Xugong and Qinghai in Xifan, and the prestige was greatly shaken. At the same time, the news of the successive defeats of the Western Fan army and horses, and the rebellion of the Southern Zhao, also spread to the court of Zampu Trisong Dezan.

Tri Song Detsen summoned Shang Jiezan in and said to him very heavily:

"The Tang army is strong, the soldiers and horses who went to rescue Taideng City have suffered a heavy defeat, and the two barbarians in Yunnan have betrayed it shamelessly, according to Ben Yongzhong's opinion, it is difficult for us to achieve victory in Shanzhou."

In fact, Shang Jiezan was even more worried than Zampu, after all, his favorite eldest son was surrounded in Taideng City, Shanzhou!

But he closed his mouth in pain and remained silent.

Zampu knew his distress, so he whispered: "I'd rather lose the entire Shanzhou than lose the beggar cover, Ben Yongzhong has already ordered that the reckless and reckless of Sanssouci City lead 10,000 soldiers to reinforce Taidengcheng, and at the same time, Ben Yongzhong sent 10,000 Dongdai forbidden soldiers, and also went to save the beggar and hide as long as he held on for two months, there would be no big problem." ”
