Ge Luofeng stood on the high chariot, raised the spear in his hand and gave the order to attack. For a while, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the Nanzhao soldiers ran barefoot on the slopes covered with gravel, withered grass and thorns, but they were like walking on the ground. Hundreds of chariots rumbled along the hillside and rushed under the walls of Quzhou. Looking at all this, a smile appeared on Ge Luofeng's handsome face.

Who would have thought that half a year ago, he was still being exploited and bullied by the Tang Dynasty. A small Tang Dynasty Taishou can point fingers at himself, and half a year later, he has occupied seven or eight prefectures and counties, including Yaozhou, and is now attacking the Tang Dynasty city unscrupulously.

Once upon a time, he had always watched his father Pi Luo Ge grovel to the Tang Dynasty, although he understood his father's hardship, but he made a vow in his heart that he would change this status quo in the future. And when he took over the throne of King Nanzhao from his father Pi Luoge, for a long time, he had to follow the previous rules, because he suddenly understood the reason for his father's forbearance. After he became the king, he suddenly understood that the little Nanzhao Kingdom was simply too weak compared to the Tang Dynasty, and there seemed to be no other way than to endure and survive the Tang Dynasty. Under the crushing of absolute strength, everything is meaningless, except to be a man with his tail between his legs.

For a long time, Ge Luofeng lived a miserable life, had a great temper, got drunk and did nothing every day, and his heart was tormented by his own compromise and cowardice. On that day, when he and his wife went to Yaozhou to see Yaozhou Taishou Zhang Qiantuo, when Zhang Qiantuo teased and insulted his wife in front of him, Ge Luofeng broke out all of a sudden. He suddenly realized that when a king could not even protect his own wife and children, how could he protect his subjects? How did he still have the face to be the king of Nanzhao?

So, despite the dissuasion of many old ministers, Ge Luofeng resolutely raised troops to capture Yaozhou, and personally cut off Zhang Qiantuo's head and hung it on the flagpole, showing a vicious anger in his heart. But after hearing the news that Xian Yu Zhongtong had sent troops to come and nearly 80,000 troops were slaughtering, Ge Luofeng realized that this was a big disaster.

Under that circumstance, Ge Luofeng had to bow his noble head and send a letter asking for peace, expressing his willingness to return Yaozhou to Xianyu Zhongtong and asking both sides to strike their troops. Willing to continue to accept the rule of the Tang Dynasty and pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty. But this statement was ruthlessly rejected by Xian Yu Zhongtong. It's like sticking out your face and being slapped back hard, and your whole face is in hot pain.

This kind of pain also made Ge Luofeng understand a truth, praying cannot be exchanged for sympathy, but only more ruthlessness. Ge Luofeng also finally realized that this time he needed to go all out to fight with the Tang Dynasty, if he wanted to save the Nanzhao Kingdom and save his life, he had to show his strength, and if he won respect, he won peace and space.

Therefore, in the battle of Lushui, Ge Luofeng poured all his national strength and mobilized almost all the soldiers and horses of the country to carry out this battle, although there were only 50,000 people, but this was already the largest battle in the history of Nanzhao. After that battle, every time he looked back on the situation of that battle, Ge Luofeng was still trembling nervously, because he knew very well that as long as he lost that battle, the Nanzhao Kingdom would cease to exist.

However, the battle was unexpectedly smooth, and the seemingly strong ** was like a tiger tied with paper in vain, slaughtered by his own soldiers and horses, and the means of preparation were not even used up, and the enemy army began to rout. That battle became a veritable one-sided massacre. More than 20,000 ** were annihilated in that battle, and their own losses were negligible.

It was also after that battle that Ge Luofeng established a strong self-confidence, he was completely like a different person, his waist was straight, his voice was loud, and even his smile was much more charming, and his whole person was radiant. After that, several battles were won, and the soldiers and horses of Nanzhao drove ** back to the first line of Wangzhou and Quzhou all the way, which can be described as invincible and overwhelming.

Ge Luofeng actually understands a truth in his heart, this kind of victory must be followed by a crazy counterattack by Datang. And Ge Luofeng didn't have the ambition to do anything to Datang, because he knew that it was absolutely impossible. But Ge Luofeng understood that before the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses retaliated frantically, it was not enough to have a bargaining chip in Yaozhou and seven or eight county seats, even if he knew that it would further provoke the Tang Dynasty, he still needed to hurt the Tang Dynasty, so his target was Quzhou Netzhou and even more cities. Once these chips were sufficient, there was the capital to negotiate, because the Tang Dynasty would never want to see these state capitals razed to the ground and their subjects slaughtered. And this is exactly what Ge Luofeng thinks in his heart, and he will use the extreme measures as a last resort.

Of course, Ge Luofeng dared to do this with confidence, half a month ago, the envoy of Tubo arrived in Yaozhou, and he personally met with the envoy from Tubo and reached an agreement. Because of this, it gave Ge Luofeng greater confidence. It is also the confidence that he dares to launch a war against Quzhou.

……

On the battlefield, the Nanzhao soldiers dressed in rattan armor screamed and rushed to the flat place under the city, and hundreds of siege vehicles also arrived at the city quickly. Within seventy or eighty steps of the city wall, the ** at the head of the city shot the first round of arrows.

The snake-like rattling arrows pinned hundreds of Nanzhao soldiers to the ground, but most of the arrows were blocked by the vine shield and could not harm the soldiers under the huge Teng shield. This is the latest method of preventing the Nanzhao soldiers who are not good at attacking the city but are good at summing up experience. In between battles, the inexhaustible rattan in the woods was woven into a huge teng shield, which could protect the bodies of five or six soldiers at a time on their heads.

"General Song, there are not many arrows, so you can't stop them by shooting arrows like this." A general reported to Song Jiangong.

"Shoot rockets, the barbarians think they have a plan, but they don't know how stupid it is." Song Jiangong shouted in a deep voice.

At the sound of an order, the archers at the head of the city lit rockets and shot out with bows, and countless rockets pierced the night sky like meteors, and many rattan armor shields suddenly caught fire and quickly burned. The Nanzhao soldiers had to abandon Teng Dun, but they were greeted by a dense rain of arrows.

However, hundreds of siege chariots, made of thick logs with huge wooden wheels mounted underneath, had rushed unhindered under the walls. As you go down the hill, you get faster and faster, like an unstoppable train. Even though dozens of vehicles overturned on the way, crushing and crushing hundreds of soldiers, most of them managed to rush under the city walls, and even if they were full of rockets and began to burn, they could not stop them.

Inside the chariot, the Nanzhao soldiers who hit the bumps climbed out one after another, and they stood in the dead corner under the root of the wall and unloaded the bamboo tube-like things they were carrying on their backs, and they were docked one by one, and soon formed a strange weapon several meters long, raised high, and the ** soldier who leaned out at the head of the city to shoot arrows put the other end to his mouth.

"Suddenly." A slight hollow blowing sound sounded, and hundreds of ** soldiers on the city head suddenly seemed to be immobilized, and their bodies stiffly leaned against the battlements of the city wall, unable to move.

"Poison arrows, poisoned arrows of barbarians. Stand back and don't go near the battlements. Someone shouted. All ** were shocked and then retreated, the poison of the Southern Barbarians ** They had already seen it, and the middle one was killed immediately, and there was no cure.

With the thousands of barbarians under the city wall as a deterrent, the ** above did not dare to approach the battlements to shoot arrows, and suddenly lost the best angle for archery, and the power of the bow and arrow was greatly reduced. Within the time of tea, tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers had rushed to the dead end under the city wall. Although the soldiers of the city kept throwing rolling logs and stones down from the top of the city, it no longer had any effect. In this strange way, the brutes successfully rushed to the city again and again, and then the huge ladder was erected on the city wall, and the savages, who were as agile as apes, began to climb up.

In the process of the barbarians climbing the ladder to climb the city wall, the ** soldiers were also embarrassed, and they couldn't probe to attack the barbarians who climbed up, because the ** hand below was waiting for them with a blowpipe. And they are very good on the head, they will not hurt anyone else at all, almost every shot, and those who are successful will die. In the previous sieges, the ** soldiers were helpless by their way of attacking the city.

But fortunately, they still have a way, which is to use weapons such as long-handled fork and long-handled spears against the barbarians, and they can let the archers bend their bows and arrows to shoot at close range, and kill the brutes who climb up immediately. But this is, after all, a stopgap measure.

There are only three or four thousand ** left on the city wall, and they have to face the attack of tens of thousands of barbarians who are constantly climbing up, and they can only take care of one and lose the other. Hundreds of ladders continued to climb up the brute soldiers, ** no matter what, they couldn't stop their attack, and soon the city wall was broken through again, and the next thing could only be hand-to-hand combat again.

Thanks to the fact that the city wall of Quzhou is not wide, the city head cannot be used by all the soldiers and horses, and the barbarians can only have thousands of people to stand on it, otherwise, all the barbarians will climb to the top of the city, and this battle will not have to be fought for a long time.
