Chapter 427: Wind and Cloud Change 2

Wuduan in Lingshi County did not have the luck of Li Duan, Li Shimin planned and moved, almost at the same time to launch an attack on Gaobiling, Bird Mouse Valley, and Fenshui Pass at the same time, Wu Duan'er had few soldiers, in addition to these three passes, in Hanxinling and Tongjunchuan each divided 2,000 troops, and the troops were obviously insufficient.

But Wuweier didn't dare to easily mobilize the three armies, not even the 5,000 reserve army didn't move, Li Shimin had strange troops, and now there is no enemy situation in those two places, it doesn't mean that it is not the attack range of the Tang army, Wudu'er can only gamble, gambling that Mengji, Ying Yi and himself can hold the three passes; Worried about Zhang Ju's combat effectiveness, Wudu'er lost Lingshi County to Yang Yanshi and personally came to guard the Bird Mouse Valley.

Seeing that the rocket destroyed the ladder of the Tang army, the Tang army pushed the fortifications and shield soldiers of the wooden chariot to move quickly, and gradually rushed into the range of the trebuchet, and at the sound of an order, the five trebuchets immediately began to take turns throwing boulders, smashing the closed Tang troop on its back; The ballista began to turn and shoot, aiming at the running Tang army in groups after groups, and the Tang army fell like harvested wheat under the rain of arrows.

The Tang army finally retreated, leaving behind hundreds of corpses, broken chariots and ladders, and bows and arrows and weapons everywhere; After five days of hard fighting, this was the third charge today, and the defenders of Guanlou were already very skilled, and without waiting for an order, they directly shot the rockets tied with grease and oilcloth to the wood, and watched the wood catch fire and burn slowly. Wu Wei'er understood that if it weren't for the transportation of a large number of materials and equipment and special craftsmen to install the three tools to defend the city, the Bird Mouse Valley would not be able to support it for even three days.

Just a meal time, the horn of the Tang army's attack sounded again, a 5,000-strong infantry army pushed the ladder and other siege equipment to approach the pass again, tens of thousands of cavalry poured out from the mountain road, a Li character handsome flag waved in the wind, Zhang Ju smiled bitterly: "General, we drew a good lot." ”

Wu Duan'er shook his head calmly and said: "This is half of the main force, the other half is in Tongjun Sichuan, the mountain roads are rugged, the cavalry is useless, the infantry army is just sneak attacking, you immediately arrange someone to send a letter to Zhen Zhai'er and Hou Mo Chen Bi, asking them to strengthen their defense, send more people to patrol and lookout, and prevent the Tang army from succeeding." ”

There are hundreds of trebuchets launched by the Tang army, and the road in front of the Pass in the Bird Mouse Valley is narrow, and thirty vehicles are crammed into the road. The soldiers and civilians defending the city ran back and forth, transporting supplies, and everyone's eyes were bloody. The people in the city are all homeless people who came with Zhen Zhai'er, and they have seen the scene of their companions being slaughtered by Li Yuan's army, and like the soldiers of the Hexi army, they have only one simple purpose, to kill the Tang army by all means.

The boulders bounced by the trebuchets, and the powerful arrows of countless cavalry, rained down on the pass, the Tang army's war drums rang out, the front soldiers retreated, and the army behind began to attack again, so that the defenders were overwhelmed; After paying more than 1,000 corpses, a siege tower car finally rushed to the front of the pass, and slammed into the city gate with a raging wrench, making a deafening loud noise. The morale of the Tang army skyrocketed in a short period of time, and they roared to launch a frenzy of attack.

A pot of hot oil was poured on the castle tower, followed by torches, and in the sea of fire, the sound of crashing cars, the screeching of wheels rubbing against the ground, the rumbling sound of the impact, and the screams of the Tang soldiers converged. But the Tang army screamed forward and followed, never retreating, fighting until dark, the mountains and fields were lit up with firelight, looking down from the pass, boundless; War drums and horns sounded in unison, and even the cavalry of the Tang army began to approach the front of the pass regardless of casualties, and the sound of arrows resounded through the heavens and the earth.

Tired and difficult to fight, the Tang army was not afraid of life and death, and finally set up a cloud ladder under the pass, and hundreds of soldiers struggled to climb upward; Wu Wei'er gritted his teeth and ordered to start throwing heavenly thunder. There were only thirty in total, and ten were thrown in one round, and the Tang army retreated in a panic, and soon returned with full blood; In the second round, ten pieces were withdrawn, and they still did not withdraw their troops, but temporarily stopped their plans to attack in front of the pass.

Wudu'er understands that once Li Shimin decides to continue the attack, he will do whatever it takes; After the Tang army found out that the defenders did not have a thunderbolt, they would be ten times more crazy. Wu Duan'er was using a total of five pieces each time, and he could still repel the two attacks of the Tang army, Zhang Ju suddenly exclaimed: "Seven-colored fireworks." ”

Wu Du'er and the soldiers looked along Zhang Ju's fingers, and in the direction of Tongjun River, a seven-color firework bloomed strangely in the air, disappearing into the sky like a meteor. The seven-colored fireworks are the fireworks of the Hexi Army, which represents that something has happened to the army in Tongjunchuan, so Wu Wei'er said calmly: "Zhang Ju, you go to set off the fireworks immediately, and withdraw with the soldiers and wounded under the city first, and I will cover you." ”

"General." Zhang Ju was about to argue, but Wu Wei'er stretched out his hand to stop him and said: "Don't rub it off, my martial arts are better than yours, it's easier to get out, just leave twenty war horses for me." ”

Not long after Zhang Ju ran down the wall, seven-colored fireworks rose in the Bird Mouse Valley, and then there were fireworks all the way away; Wu Duan'er stood on a high place, and saw the torches begin to go north, and the stone in his heart fell to the ground. Tang Jun obviously saw the meaning of the fireworks, and rushed up, even if the corpses were blown up by the thunder, they still fought hard and did not retreat; The Hexi army poured all the torches and oil down, and only then did they win the time for the opponent's ladder to burn down and be blocked by the fire.

Wu Duan'er ran down the wall with the remaining more than 600 soldiers, lit up the houses, grain and grass along the way, and withdrew from the Bird Mouse Valley; After running out for about ten miles, the remaining observation post gave a fireworks signal, and the Tang army entered the city. When the army walked twenty miles, the observation post rode up on horseback, and a veteran stopped and said to Wu Du'er: "General, you can take the people who can run first, there are still more than twenty miles to the county seat, we really can't run, so let's stay and block the Tang army, right?" ”

Wu Duan'er shouted: "How can this be done, you have to live together, and you have to die together." ”

The veteran shook his head and said: "General, I will follow you from Hejin to fight all the way here, I don't regret it, the life of the people on the territory of Yue Guogong is indeed a little better, I only hope that you can sweep the world in the future, defeat Li Shimin one day, and avenge us." Brethren who could not walk, cut down trees, set up bows and crossbows, and set traps and tripping horses. ”

There are about ordinary people who stayed, and they didn't know that they couldn't be hypocritical, this was the best arrangement, and they instructed twice, left all the war horses, and ran to Lishi County with the rest of the people. Wu Duan'er retreated to Lishi County, and all the people and horses came back one after another, Meng Jian led a thousand cavalry, and after Zhen Zhai'er returned, he killed on the way to the Bird Mouse Valley, and rescued the last remaining more than 50 people.

After asking for details, everyone knew that Zhen Zhai'er was defeated in the hands of the heavily armored infantry army, and Zhen Zhai'er discovered the enemy's situation, but the three thousand sword soldiers were not afraid of casualties and rushed into Zhen Zhai'er's big village, except for the bed crossbow and the giant crossbow shot more than 400 people, the infantry cavalry played a very small role. Counting the number of people, a total of more than 4,000 people were lost everywhere, but fortunately, more than 3,000 cavalry, all of them withdrew, and Hou Mo Chen Biao's 2,000 people were still full because they did not fight.
