Soma didn't know what to say at this time.

The military composition of Xifan here, there is Yunling Da Treatise on the jurisdiction of the Tibetan Prefecture under the jurisdiction of the Qianzhou, there is a "50,000 households through the cheeks", in fact, more than 10,000 troops can be dispatched, around the city of Taideng four or more than ten forts and set up, is to plough and fight.

In addition, there were two independent garrison teams, namely the Huichuan Defense Envoy and the Shenchuan Governor Xinuolu, each with more than 3,000 troops under their command, but they were stationed in Huichuan and Shenchuan, and the Nanzhao forces were intertwined.

The "reinforcements" that were pinned on by the begging and hiding had to come from the south and Qinghai provinces, and the southern province of Mangre had five Delun districts, namely Shugong, Saigon, Songzhou, Lacheng and Guhong, among which Shugong, Saigon and Lacheng were all adjacent to Shanzhou, so Qizang Shasha needed to inform the three places of Delun and Jie'er: they stubbornly resisted the Tang army in Taideng City, and then all kinds of Xibo reinforcements came to the city to counter-encircle the Tang army besieging Taideng and completely defeat it, which was the "central flowering" tactic favored by Qizang Shasha.

"Soma, I'll leave the task of requesting reinforcements to you, without further ado."

After receiving the order of the young master, Soma could only ride on the war horse without hesitation, worried, repeatedly told the young master a few words, and then put on his armor, put on a sash, and together with the other two flying bird envoys, carried an urgent letter full of silver falcons, and went out of the town of Liuqiang in the northwest of Dengcheng, waded through the steep and high mountains winding Saigon River, and then ran to the Saigon Delun station in Xibo.

Almost at the same time, Wei Gao and Gao Yue gathered the soldiers of the three armies under the city of Li Wu and began to talk about martial arts before the war.

Now Gao Yue selected soldiers from the Dingwu Army and the Yining Army, and made light and heavy guns, Shenlei rockets and shield cars, enriched them to the "Feishan Five Battalions", renamed them "Artifact Five Battalions", and let Guo Zaizhen and Su Pu be the main and deputy soldiers and horses, with a staffing of 4,000 people, of which three battalions are "Che Gong Battalions" and the other two battalions are "Feishan Artillery Battalions".

Wei Gao personally watched the soldiers of the Che Gong Battalion practice shooting with firearms in formation:

In the open space of the Hanyuan field, there were about 300 soldiers of the Che Gang Battalion wrapped in red turbans and wearing cotton clothes wrapped in armor and armor, each with several banners in the front and drummers and gong players in the back.

This group of soldiers is holding the "handle gun", this kind of handle gun is very improved compared with the previous fire pipe, it is to fire lead shots, the shape is no longer straight, but by the breech, the medicine chamber and the tail hammer three parts, of which the breech is a thin copper pipe, without hoops, and the medicine chamber is back, because it has to bear the pressure when the thunder gunpowder burns, so it is slightly convex, the inner wall is also thickened, to prevent explosion, and the tail is a hole in the rear, used to fill the wooden handle, play the role of leaking residual gunpowder gas.

The other sixty percent of the soldiers are holding the same improved "Shenlei rocket", with fine copper cast into a three-foot-long copper tube, inserted three or five short arrows in front, tied to the gunpowder bag, and then chiseled a fire door, dragged out the twist, once ignited, several arrows rushed out together, like a fire snake, can fly 200 steps away, whether it is to kill or injure the enemy, or to burn the enemy's baggage camp, it is very convenient.

Wei Gao saw that the group of soldiers armed with firearms were also carrying different equipment from the others, in addition to the same size medicine spoon (convenient for ordering gunpowder), there was also a string of basswood horses, which was used to pound the gunpowder, and then blocked the tail hammer, so that the projectile and the rocket were fired forward with full force.

At this time, Dan saw that the leaders waved small flags one after another, "One gun, two twisted threads, and three charges!" I only heard this group of soldiers shouting in unison, and then began to operate according to the song.

After a while, the heads of the buildings waved the small flag again, "four horses, five to the son, six dozen and three mallets", and the soldiers shouted in unison again, using the wooden horses to constantly pound the medicine room, and the sound was endless.

Next, the head of the building pointed the tip of the small flag forward, "Seven arrows (pills), eight rows of guns!" He saw the soldiers placing their arrows and lead pellets in the brass, and then they all raised them together in the direction pointed by the small banner on their heads.

At this time, the brass trumpet sounded, "Nine listen to the trumpet whining!" ”

Then the trumpet stopped, and the cymbals sounded suddenly, and the medicine twists were all lit, and then the thunderbolt roared, and the lead pellets and divine thunder arrows shot forward intensively at the same time as the violent smoke rose, hitting the wooden targets on the earthen stacks to pieces, and several gongs sounded, "Close!" The soldiers in the front row gathered their bronze guns and retreated neatly.

Wei Gao was still unsatisfied, and was very interested in this song of shooting, so he asked the wingmen around him to write it down immediately, saying that he was going to teach firearms in Xichuan as well, and then asked Gao Yue to ask his chariot soldiers to demonstrate the tactics of multi-row round shooting, which made the entire Hanyuan field roar with the sound of firearms and rockets.

"What about the siege artillery?"

"It is being cast on the spot in Liwu City, it weighs ten stones, and it can launch large stone pills, which is an excellent weapon for attacking the platform and ascending the city." Gao Yue is very confident.

Under the city of Liwu, in front of the Dadu River, a lot of copper and iron, charcoal, livestock and beasts sit on the big raft, from the various waterways of Dongchuan, Xichuan, Xingyuan, gathered together, erected several huge earthen platforms under the city, the fire is burned inside, and the thick smoke is constantly spewed, and many craftsmen and forging slaves surround it, barefoot and backbone, day and night to make the "excellent weapon" in Gao Yue's mouth.

At the same time, Wei Gao would not wait for "everything to be ready", he gave the order:

In the middle, the Dongchuan soldiers and horses made Xie Facheng lead 10,000 troops, out of Dingfan City Road, to Wangxing City, and attack the North Valley of Taideng City;

In the west, Xu Qi, the governor of the three eastern barbarians, supervised 6,000 soldiers of Lianglin and Fengpa, crossed the Dadu River from the Tongshan City Road, attacked Xigongchuan and Liuqiang Town, and blocked the reinforcement path of the South Xifan Road to Taideng City;

In the east, Li Wucheng made Liu Chaocai command 3,000 Xichuan Baoyi strong crossbowmen, and cooperated with 3,000 Bedeng barbarian soldiers to go out of Qingxi Road and attack and occupy the road leading to Sanfu City (the old Shanzhou place).

Fierce battles began, surrounding Wangxing City, Qingxi Pass, and Papaya Ridge, and every day and night, the Tang army was storming and uprooting the fortresses set up in the front or depth of Xifan, and small-scale and brutal battles continued.

In the city of the stage, the beggar is constantly adjusting his deployment according to the intelligence of the front line.

But he always refused to lead the main force to fight, because he knew very well in his heart that what the Tang army was pushing up now was either a guest army with weak combat effectiveness, or a righteous servant of the Eastern Barbarians, and the three armies of Fengyi, Dingwu, and Yining, which were the most powerful on the other side, were always on standby at Liwu City, and were tightly held in their hands by Wei Gao and Gao Yue, like sharp arrows on a bowstring, which would not be triggered until the critical moment.

The biggest lesson of his father's fiasco at Huating was that he didn't expect Gao Yue to suddenly bring more and stronger teams to the battlefield, and took advantage of the moment when the balance of power on the battlefield was reversed, and decisively launched a surprise attack, so that his father Shang Jiezan was defeated and his reputation was lost.

Here, Gao Yue, who was standing on Wuhou Ridge overlooking the battle situation in the south, was actually carefully calculating in his heart, and with a lot of worry, "Hopefully, I only hope that the soldiers and civilians on the side of Shazhou and Anbei can get assistance from Hui, firmly guard the city, and wait until the moment when we win on this battlefield!" ”
