Tugu Hun Fuyun is a hero, but he made the same mistake as Li Chengqian, considered all the problems, but in the end he was pitted by inertial thinking.

Fu Yun thinks that it is very easy to recover the cities that were lost from him, so it should not be too difficult to face the Tang Dynasty now. And he also expected that this attack would not go very smoothly, so he brought out all the fighters of Tuyuhun just for this battle.

But after thousands of calculations, Fu Yun still ignored one point, that is, the true height of Datang City.

The sound of war drums was excited, and the roar of the soldiers went straight to the clouds, but when they rushed across the moat like a rain of arrows like meteors, rushed to the city wall, and set up the ladders, they found that all the ladders they brought could only reach about two zhang below the head of the city, and even if the ladders were all attached to the city walls, they were still about one person high.

This situation is too embarrassing.

Because no one could climb the ladder that clings to the wall, and even if they could, they would not reach the top of the city.

In addition, there is no ladder to attack the city, so do you rely on people to pile it? Not to mention how many people will die like this, it will be too late in terms of time alone.

Attacking now is just a surprise to Datang, if it drags on for a long time, wait for Datang to react...... I can't figure it out, and the 100,000 army will be wiped out, right?

The defenders above the city were also very nervous when Tuyuhun attacked, and Duan Zan even added the 'click' of the horizontal knife in his hand.

As the pioneer of Zuo Raowei, he was the first batch of reinforcements to arrive, and the team he led was only about 3,000 people, facing 100,000 people at a time.

However, the Tang defenders were soon stunned by the comical performance of the Tuyuhun army, and it was the first time they saw that the ladders carried by the besiegers were not long enough, so the troops above and below the city all stopped attacking for a while, and their eyes were fixed on the Tuyuhun soldiers who were awkwardly holding ladders and constantly fiddling.

Tuyuhun's face turned purple as he resisted the ladder, squatting under the city wall and moving the ladder back and forth, trying to find a lower position.

Of course, there are also some clever ones who start to dig up a high platform, and then support the ladder legs to it, so that it can be high enough, but they don't think about it, and trying to build a shoddy pile of two or three feet high is definitely not something that four or five people can quickly do.

"Hey, why don't you pick up the ladder?" Duan Zan squatted on the head of the city and couldn't stand it anymore, and the funny scene made the entire battlefield no longer have the tense atmosphere of war, but became a little funny.

The Tuyuhun soldiers who were busy below were stunned for a moment, then looked up and replied, "Thank you!" ”

"You're welcome, seeing that you are so sincere, I won't kill you when I come up in a while." Duan Zan squatted under the head of the city, and began to chat with the soldiers below, until the sound of the withdrawal of troops sounded in the Tuyuhun army in the distance.

Half an hour later, Tuyuhun Chinese army.

"Father, my son is derelict in his duties, please punish my father." Fu Shun knelt down on one knee in front of Fu Yun and said with a flushed face.

"Get up, at this time it is for the Father's inconsiderate consideration, and it has nothing to do with you." Fu Yun sat behind the desk in a daze, not to mention the depression in his heart.

Damn habitual thinking is really harmful, in Tuyuhun, in Tubo and even the entire Western Regions, because of the lack of masonry, the city walls are generally not high, and the ladders used for siege naturally do not need to be too long. But when facing the fortified city of the Tang Dynasty, these ladders that are not unfavorable in the Western Regions immediately showed their shortness and weakness, and there were many shortcomings, which made him lose face.

But what can be done, things are already like this, more than 100,000 people have traveled thousands of miles to the outside of Liangzhou City, and they can't stop the Tang defenders to withdraw their troops after watching a joke, right? He is not a clown, and he will never do such a thing to make people happy.

Fu Shun looked at the old man who was a little depressed, patted his chest and reassured: "Father, Erchen has ordered the soldiers to connect the ladders together according to what the Tang general said, and tomorrow's attack will definitely not be like the last time." ”

Fu Yun nodded, and agreed with his son's plan, but quickly instructed: "Tomorrow, we will attack the city gate that has been vacated, and only attack the south, north, and east, and deploy five thousand ambush soldiers ten miles to the west." ”

"Wai Sanque one?" Fu Shun asked tentatively.

"Yes, this can weaken the will of the soldiers in the city to resist, and at the same time it can also reduce the casualties of the warriors, the Tang army in the city doesn't know if we will attack the West Gate, they will inevitably leave people to defend at the West Gate, so it is equivalent to forcing them to divide their forces." Fu Yun analyzed his tactics for his son little by little.

He is already old, and the people of the Western Regions in their fifties have reached the age where they will not be wronged even if they die, so he needs to train his heir and teach his son his many years of battlefield experience, so that he can become a qualified Tuyuhun heir.

"If this makes them divide their forces, why don't we attack only one gate, so that the warriors can't ......," Fu Shun asked with some puzzlement.

Fu Yun interrupted his son's question and said in a deep voice: "Then they will have the opportunity to take turns to rest, and they can prolong the time of this war indefinitely, which is not good for us." ”

"Yes, father, son-in-law understands." Fu Shun nodded suddenly, and after waiting for a while, seeing that the old man didn't say anything, he bowed slightly and said, "If my father has no other instructions, my son will retire." ”

"You go, take care of your subordinates, and try to take down Liangzhou City in one fell swoop tomorrow." Fu Yun seemed to be a little tired, slowly closed his eyes, and waved his hand at Fu Shun.

After Fu Shun left, Fu Yun opened his eyes again and said to the two famous kings beside him: "Fu Shun is still too young, you go to help him tomorrow, don't let things go wrong." ”

"Yes, you understand." The two kings nodded in unison.

"If you lose this time, you will surrender to the Tang Dynasty, and with the temperament of the Tang Emperor, it should not be too difficult for you."

"Lord, are you ......?" asked a famous king on Fu Yun's left with concern.

"I'm fine, just sigh, I'm old, I have to make some plans for the future, I can't drag the whole clan to die with me!" Fu Yun sighed, slowly closed his eyes again, and the whole person fell into deep thought or sleep, leaving the two famous kings looking at each other, not knowing what choice to make.

Since ancient times, it has been said that accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, although the lord of the Tuyuhun country is not like the Tang Emperor who is in charge of a large amount of land, but he is still a generation of kings, every word he says, as a courtier, he must think repeatedly before he dares to take the last step, otherwise it is likely to cause death.
