Chapter 498: Tugu Hun Jian City City, City-Breaking Artifact
In seven days, in just seven days, except for the national capital, all the big cities around Tuyuhun were breached.
Originally, Tuyuhun was inconvenient to disseminate information because of the terrain, so the Tang Dynasty attacked separately in three ways, except for the strong city of the national capital, other cities were not good, not the height of the city, but the lack of troops.
Tuyuhun is not a big country, and it is from the end of the Sui Dynasty to restore the country again, so the regime was stable for a few years, the original army was only a hundred thousand, and the last time it lost 80,000, and now the country is not even 100,000 people, of which 40,000 people are still responsible for guarding the city, because of the bitter cold here, so in addition to Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, no one will come to attack.
Tubo was busy with reunification a few years ago and did not free up his hands to invade, and the Tang Dynasty was a state of etiquette and would not take the initiative to raise troops, so it allowed him to develop steadily for more than ten years.
When the King of Qi gathered 50,000 troops and came to ambush the city, Fu Yun Khan was stunned, what happened? Where did the Don Army come from? I just got the information that the surrounding attacks were in my hands, why did the Tang army kill the city?
"I don't know which general of the Tang Dynasty is below? Why did you offend me for no reason? Although Fu Yun Khan was old, his power was undiminished, and he asked loudly in a military uniform.
"Li Yuanji, the king of Tang Qi, is here, and he is ordered by the Tang Emperor to come and destroy you Tuguhun." Li Yuanji used his strength and shouted at the city, not only to answer, but also to coerce the defenders of the city.
As the teaching director of Zhongnan Academy, Li Yuanji, the martial arts cheats on the third floor, is naturally qualified to practice, and under Bai Fan's guidance, Li Yuanji also chose several martial arts and internal skills that are suitable for him.
Fu Yun Khan said coldly: "What a big breath, even if your Tang Emperor came here in person, he didn't dare to say that he would destroy me, just rely on your tens of thousands of soldiers and horses?" ”
"Hahahaha, that's right, with my tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, I'm afraid you don't know yet, we have been coming to Tuyuhun for seven days, and this king has been non-stop for seven days, and has taken down all the cities in Tuyuhun, just like the former Sui destroyed you, at this time, Fuqi City is already a lonely city.
Fu Yun Lao'er, still don't surrender? ”
Li Yuanji shouted, which shocked the Tuyuhun defenders who were still disdainful, if they were not afraid to see the tens of thousands of people below, but when it came to the Sui Dynasty's battle to destroy Tuyuhun, I'm afraid these people didn't know.
Fuyun Khan is also bitter in his heart, as early as ten years ago, he rearranged the country, in order to prevent the repetition of the mistakes of the past, he formed a way of transferring troops that is strong outside and weak inside, and is defended with heavy troops everywhere, and there are only 20,000 defenders in the central capital.
However, the loss of 80,000 people in Datang was really hurtful, so he had to redeploy the surrounding defenders and change them to key defense, and none of the surrounding cities had more than 10,000 defenders.
So at this time, Li Yuanji said that he had taken all the places around him in seven days, and Fu Yun was the first to believe it.
"The Tang Dynasty invaded and destroyed the country for no reason, aren't you afraid of attracting the dissatisfaction of all countries and jointly conquest?" Holding on to his momentum, Fu Yun asked.
"Destroying the country for no reason?
You Tuyuhun envoys coveted the national treasure of the Tang Dynasty, and also sent someone to burn down the first academy of the Tang Dynasty, destroy the treasure of our country and kill my son, this hatred is not shared, you need to Tuyuhun to destroy the country to repay.
You are desperate, Kaesong surrendered, this king can take you to ask Your Majesty for guilt, if you don't surrender to death, wait for us to break the city and kill people. ”
Li Yuanji's shouting directly shook the confidence of the soldiers defending the city, Fu Yun looked at the restless people around him, and immediately made a decision, shouting: "Hmph, what is the trouble of adding to the crime?"
We have 40,000 defenders, but you are only 50,000, and the city is impregnable. Dream.
When all of you die at the head of the city, we will avenge the rest of the city's soldiers. ”
Fu Yun still has a set, and after this statement, Tuyuhun's side is really much more morale.
I saw the defenders at the head of the city shouting in unison: "Fight!" ”
Li Yuanba on the Tang side is already angry, a little Tuguhun, only a lonely city is left, and he dares to provoke?
"Li Yuanba, the king of Chu in the Tang Dynasty, is here, who will die for Tuyuhun Xiao'er?"
drove the horse forward, the smoke and clouds under his crotch, the peerless overlord halberd in his hand, pointed at the defenders at the head of the city, and at the same time used internal force to shout.
This Li Yuanba's internal strength is stronger than Li Yuanji, and when he heard it in the ears of the Tuyuhun soldiers, it was like thunder, which frightened the defenders of the city to take a step back.
A general of Tuyuhun sneered: "This guy looks like a reckless man, what's the use of having a loud voice, can you break the city with one person and one horse?" ”
Obviously, the soldiers on the Tuyuhun side were not interested in Li Yuanba, except for being shocked by his voice, they had no other reaction, and no one came out to fight.
This made Li Yuanba slightly embarrassed, thinking in his heart, his reputation was still not loud enough, and it didn't reach Tuyuhun? In this battle, we must show our skills.
But there are always people who remember him, Fu Yun is one of them, as a person who rose in the troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, how could Fu Yun not have heard of the name of the first hero of the Great Sui? Shaking his head slightly, he complained bitterly in his heart, Datang has this person, and the odds of winning are one percent higher, but he didn't say this.
The generals of the Tang Dynasty went up to fight one by one, but there was no movement at the head of Tuyuhun City, and no one seemed to think of coming out to meet the enemy, and they were determined to defend the city.
In fact, this is Fu Yun's death order to hold down the generals at the head of the city, although Tuyuhun has a few generals, but Fu Yun heard the names of the generals under the city, and his heart became colder and colder, Qin Qiong, the first fierce general of the Tang Dynasty, this person is a fierce general who takes the head of the enemy in the army, why did he come?
Pioneer Lieutenant Chi Baolin? Qin Huaidao? Although these two are young generals, the Datang Vanguard Army has been in the limelight in the past two years, and no one dares to go on it for the sake of insurance.
In ancient siege battles, it can be a siege and fierce attack, or it can be a battle under the city, as long as someone at the head of the city is willing to open the door to engage in the battle, then you can start to fight, the general who wins the defending side can take the opportunity to cover the retreating enemy, and the general who wins the siege side can take the opportunity to kill into the city.
But if there is no city leader to come down to fight, then it can only be besieged and attacked.
Looking at the bluffing Fuyun Khan at the head of the city, Li Yuanji was as stable as Mount Tai, he was not in a hurry to attack the city, and ordered to camp under the city, anyway, it was surrounded by the territory of the Tang Dynasty, just this lonely city, and there was no need to worry about the problem of logistics and grass, Tuyuhun also had no reinforcements, he could fight slowly, so he would not be stupid enough to attack the city with 50,000 lives, so that he would die before he could capture 50,000 people.
Set up camp and raise the tent, Li Yuanji led people to discuss a good strategy to break the city, the city is too strong, and the Tang army cannot spend another year and a half, so you need to find a way.
"Marshal, our army has brought siege weapons, although the city is strong, but the master explained, this city-breaking weapon has the power of heaven and earth, unless it is an iron wall, it is all vulnerable." Cheng Huaimo stepped forward and proposed.
Is that true? Could it be the gunpowder thunder that Jian Zhi once said? Li Yuanji exclaimed.
"It is this thing, originally this thing Daomen chemists have long studied it, but they said that this thunder is harmful to the heavens, and the master seems to have some scruples, so he did not advocate using it, and he has not taken it out.
This time, the academy was burned, and several chemical geniuses in the Daomen were killed, and everyone was angry and deliberately took out this sharp weapon to take revenge, but it was top secret in the army, and it has been guarded and kept by the trapped camp for twelve hours. ”
