Chapter 109: Helping the General Regardless of Himself (10)
"Damn!" Wang Sili knew that killing Bian Lingcheng with one arrow would alleviate the dangerous situation, concentrate his attention on dealing with the rebels, and he could never make up his mind when he thought of the fame and fortune at his fingertips. Mobile M.
"Jie Shuai, what should I do?" Wang Sili, who had sore arms, tightly clenched the bowstring and was at a loss: "Handsome, if it were you, how would you choose......
The spring breeze is under the male pass, and the horses are working hard to open the green rainbow.
When Wang Sili hesitated, the big river a few miles west of the north water gate of Tongguan, the ship was like a cloud, and the boat was like an ant, and thousands of soldiers and horses quietly abandoned the boat bank under the cover of night, and went straight to the north gate of Tongguan after boarding 6......
Hu Ma hissed and salty, and the smoke and dust rushed together.
"The marshal is wounded, Wang June, open the city gate!" When Bian Lingcheng was hoarse and tried his best to knock on the gate, the billowing smoke and dust outside the West Gate, and the bloody Huo Tu Guiren whipped in one hand and led the Qinghai Skull, a divine steed in the other, roaring endlessly.
"Jie Shuai!?" Wang Sili caught a glimpse of Ge Shuhan, who was lying on his mount and dying, hurriedly threw away his bow and arrows, and asked angrily: "Who injured the festival marshal?" ”
"Rebels!" Huo Ba Guiren panted like a cow and said: "Thousands of Luoluo River found a gap out of nowhere, drilled into Gyeonggi, and attacked the festival commander. Our army has resisted the charge of the rebels, is chasing the enemy, but unexpectedly, the Luoluo River with the North Courtyard fierce oil fire, a fire scattered and fled, Geshu Jieshuai at this time legs are fast, a desperate life, finally saved the Jieshuai. However, the border supervision army has not yet received the enemy, and ran away in a smoke......"
"I'm going back to the customs to move the rescuers!" Bian Lingcheng quibbled.
"Fortunately, the Luoluo River went to Chang'an, and a certain and the shuai picked up a life." Huo Ba Guiren disdains to take care of Bian Lingcheng.
"Rebel ......" Wang Sili glanced at the fire and Guiren, whose clothes and armor were torn and his beard was burnt, and then glanced at Ge Shuhan who was lying on horseback, and no longer hesitated: "Open the door and welcome the festival commander into the city!" Get a doctor! ”
The wind and clouds are abrupt and branched.
When Huoba Guiren and Bian Lingcheng arrived at the west gate of Tongguan, the hundreds of defeated troops who followed them had not yet all entered the urn city, and Huoba Guiren suddenly raised a lance and stabbed to death the Tongguan guards who were struggling to open the city gate, and then twisted his waist and jumped to the back of Qinghai Skull, abandoned the lance and drew his knife, and crossed the neck of the unconscious Ge Shuhan. Bian Lingcheng, who had entered the door hole a few steps early, heard a strange noise, kicked the mule violently, flashed into the streets of Guancheng, and escaped.
Disguised as the rout of Longyou, the Luoluo River went down the mountain hungry tiger, bent the bow and raised the lance to sweep away the defenders in the city wall and the city gate, and quickly occupied the west gate of Tongguan. Wang Sili dodged several eagle feathers and retreated to the barricades that had already been built under the protection of the tooth soldiers.
In the west of Tongguan City, under the illumination of the sky-high flames, thousands of soldiers and horses rolled in, pouring into the urn city in a steady stream, completely controlling the West Gate Tower, and attacking both sides along the city wall, driving away and slaughtering the defenders who were in a mess.
The fire in the west of the city sounded the horn of attack, and more than 100 counterweight trebuchets rose and fell in the rebel formation in the east of Tongguan City, shooting fireballs and stone projectiles into the sky, and striking overwhelmingly on the thick city wall.
In the civil strife of the city, the defenders of the city were divided and had no intention of fighting, and the soldiers who should have operated the counterweight stone cannon to counterattack condescendingly were sparse and undermanned, unable to resist the indiscriminate bombardment of the rebels
。
"Fire is drawn to benevolence, and the handsome man treats you well...... Wang Sili never expected him to be a thief, and he was angry and anxious.
"Wang Sili, Ge Shuhan raised you as a son, and he didn't give a certain star any benefit." Huoba Guiren snorted coldly: "Back then, I was cold and cold in Longju Island Yinglong City, and it was rare for him to come over, but it was to visit Li Sheng. ”
"Even if the fire pulls out the soldiers and horses, even if he resents the commander, he shouldn't take refuge in the thief!" Wang Sili tried his best to gather the soldiers and reorganize the army, but Ge Shuhan was captured, the West Gate was lost, and the morale of the defenders was low, and they were defeated and retreated, and they had no strength to fight. If it weren't for the Huangxiangban outside the east gate, "the cars can't be squared, and the horses can't be in columns", and there are several bottomless trenches before the gate is closed, the main force of the rebels may have taken advantage of the chaos to break in.
"Wang Sili, you are a Goguryeo native of Yingzhou, and I am a Turk from Hexi, and in the eyes of the Tang people, they are all lowly barbarians. In the past, Tian Khan still wanted to borrow our courage to fight everywhere, but now the king of Beiping County has raised troops and killed all the way from Youzhou to the Eastern Capital, will the emperor still trust us in the future? Huo Ba Guiren sneered: "Wang Sili, I know that you are worried about the official position of the deputy envoy of Jiedu, but you have to save your life first!" ”
"Damn!" Wang Sili was broken by the human race, and became more and more anxious: "There are wolves in front and tigers in the back, Jieshuai is trapped in the enemy's hands, and the prisoners are far away in Pujindu, how can this be good?" Is Tongguan going to fall at my hands......"
Xiongguan burned in the fire, and Hu Ma was arrogant.
In the west of Tongguan City, Cui Qianyou looked triumphantly at Tongguan, where the sound of fighting continued, and looked up to the sky and laughed: "The west gate of Tongguan has been broken, and the east gate will fall into the hands of our army in a moment or three, God help me!" ”
Tian Qianzhen led a thousand to drag down the river, with the assistance of Li Dingbang, the envoy of the river soldiers and horses, from Lantian Pass into Gyeonggi, attacked the Huazhou camp and Cui Qianyou inside and outside to conquer Lantian Pass, and beheaded Xi Yuanqing, the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu.
The two originally wanted to lead 15,000 elite soldiers to Tongguan according to the plan, but they encountered the Anxi soldiers and horses defending the city in Lantian City, and thousands of people were killed and wounded, and with the help of Shi Chaoyi, the general of Pinglu, they shot Feng Changqing and seriously injured Gao Xianzhi. But even so, the Jiannan Army that appeared out of thin air still made them fall short.
Seeing that he had alarmed all the soldiers and horses in Gyeonggi, Tian Qianzhen proposed to see that it was good to collect it and retreat to Lantian Pass, after all, opening the passage to attack Chang'an was already a great achievement. Cui Qianyou, who "invaded like fire", was worried that the mountain road leading from Shaanzhou to Wuguan was too cramped, which was not conducive to the march of the army, and that 10,000 lone troops alone might not be able to hold Lantian Pass.
Although Tian Qianzhen admired Cui Qianyou's courage, he had always admired Tian Chenghe's way of using troops that was difficult to understand, and he could not agree with Cui Qianyou's desperate adventure. At the same time, Shi Chaoyi was anxious to leave the land of right and wrong in Gyeonggi, so Tian Qianzhen led half of the soldiers and horses to retreat to Lantian Pass in the name of maintaining the friendship between the two armies of Youzhou and Pinglu, while Cui Qianyou carefully selected 5,000 iron cavalry to go straight north, and more than 2,000 of the most powerful Tuoluo River were allocated to his command, and all the fierce oil and fire collected from Wuguan and Lantian Pass were also taken away.
On the march, the scouts had a large group of soldiers and horses lurking in the north of Lantian City not long ago, and then left to the northwest. Cui Qianyou vaguely felt that it was they who set fire to the Suye chariot, but he couldn't guess its identity for a while. Fortunately, they did not go to Tongguan, so
It doesn't matter the big picture.
When he arrived near Huazhou City, Cui Qianyou, who was thinking about how to knock on the west gate of Tongguan, was now rushing to Chang'an City with a force of soldiers and horses. Luoluo River set up an ambush and sneak attack, and caught a big fish by mistake, and captured the injured and unconscious Tongguan defense envoy Ge Shuhan, and his subordinates abandoned the darkness and turned to the light.
After using Feinu to inform the festival marshal of his intentions, Cui Qianyou urgently ordered Luoluo River to fire Guiren and Ge Shuhan to open the west gate of Tongguan, and kill the east gate with lightning speed.
Cui Qianyou, who is fierce in his army, has a beard on his face, looks very rough, but his mind is quite delicate. He knew very well that this trip to the tiger's den was extremely dangerous, and he must be extremely cautious. Therefore, when he attacked Tongguan with his troops, he still did not forget to send scouts and leave a thousand Luohe by his side in case of emergency.
Cui Qianyou knew the terrain of Tongguan well, and was most worried that the soldiers and horses of Anxi and Jiannan would follow, and the second was to prevent the soldiers and horses guarding Pujindu from going down the river, so he strictly ordered the scouts to keep an eye on the northwest and the northwest, and secretly laid several traps with fierce oil fire, waiting for the prey to hook......
The beacon fire is constantly fighting, and the words become a prophecy of heaven's will.
In Tongguan City, the rebels used the fearless Dragloch River as a cluster of arrows, rampage along the east and west main streets, and pointed directly at the east gate of Guancheng. In order to echo with the main force in the east of the city, where the Luoluo River passed, the houses were burned, and the main force of the rebels adjusted the angle and direction of the counterweight trebuchet in time according to the change in the position of the firelight, and used fireballs and stone bullets to cover the Luoluo River where the enemy group was chopping waves. At the same time, the rebels drove tens of millions of people with swords, carrying ladders and sandbags to fill the trenches in front of the pass.
At present, there are about 70,000 defenders in Tongguan, and the strongest combat power is the 12,000 Longyou Army under Ge Shuhan, and more than 10,000 Hexi soldiers and horses and 5,000 Longwu Forbidden Army annexed. The remaining 40,000 or so were all newly recruited troops from Luoyang and Gyeonggi, and they could only fight a good fight. Originally, 3,000 Khotanese cavalry were also considered elite soldiers, but when the Huazhou battalion was attacked, Wei Chi Sheng had been taken away by Ge Shuhan, and he was not in the pass at the moment.
On paper, the soldiers in Tongguan City are strong and strong. However, the east and west have been peaceful for a long time, and the people have not heard the sound of the golden drum for a long time, and the new recruits are embarrassed; The Longwu forbidden army guarded the saints and ran rampant in Chang'an City, but it was not sharpened on the battlefield; Longyou and Hexi are all elite soldiers in a hundred battles, but because of the case of Ge Shuhan framing An Sishun, the two armies are like fire and water. Although Ge Shuhan used the hand of Wang Fei to get rid of Dong Yanguang, the deputy envoy of Hexi Jiedu, and mixed sand, dug the foot of the wall, and bribed and divided the generals of the Hexi layer, after all, the time is limited, and the suspicion still exists.
Therefore, once an accident occurs, the internal contradictions will intensify immediately, the new recruits are at a loss, panicked, the Longwu forbidden army is impatient with vicious battles, eager to flee for their lives, the Hexi army or gather crowds to protect themselves, or retreat south in formation, but few people are willing to help the Longyou army that was chased and beaten by the dragged river, and even some people fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the chaos to retaliate.
The city is united, Mount Tai moves, and the people's hearts are scattered and chaotic. In fact, if the two sides fought alone, 12,000 Longyou troops would be enough to defeat Cui Qianyou's 5,000 elite cavalry. It's a pity that the Youzhou army was calculated and unintentional, and it took the lead; Luckily captured Ge Shuhan, opened the city gate by fraud, and took advantage of it. On the other hand, in the Longyou Army, the main general was captured, suddenly attacked, and friendly troops added chaos, and there were very few soldiers and horses who could follow Wang Sili to resist the Tuoluo River. Therefore, there was a stunned scene in the city of Tongguan, thousands of Youzhou iron horsemen entered the flock like wolves, chasing the Tang army several times their own, and forced to the east gate of Tongguan step by step.
