Chapter 125: Destroying the City

A few days ago, Xue Wenyang quickly rushed to Lianyunbao at the cost of leaving the lives of 500 soldiers of the cavalry battalion behind, and assisted Li Siye, who was trapped in the mountains and helpless, to capture Lianyunbao.

Now that the 80,000 Tubo army is sandwiched between Lianyunbao and the main force of the Tang Dynasty's 30,000 Western Expeditionary Army, Kudozha arranges to resist the fierce attack of Gao Xianzhi's department on the one hand, and attacks Lianyunbao at any cost.

Although the situation was critical, Gao Xianzhi did not lose his calm, and confronted the Tubo army in an orderly manner, not taking risks, and trying to minimize his own losses.

"General Gao, although our way of fighting like this is safe, Lianyunbao will inevitably be captured by the Tubo army first, and when the time comes, General Li Siye and they may ......."

Gao Xianzhi sighed: "After all, the opponent's strength is far superior to ours, only by fighting steadily and steadily can we slowly eat them with the advantage of individual ability, if we are in a hurry, not only can we not save Li Siye, this battle will also be defeated, this is exactly what the Tubo army is happy to see, and they can't fall into their plan." ”

It's not that Gao Xianzhi is ruthless, on the contrary, he attaches great importance to Li Siye, a tiger general, and he also wants to protect the team of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion for Yu Lang, but this kind of moment will never allow him to be emotional, and it is obviously extremely irrational to risk the lives of tens of thousands of Western Expeditionary Army to exchange for the Tang Army in Lianyunbao.

At the head of Lianyunbao City, Xue Wenyang and Li Siye were both covered with blood, and in five days, the Tubo army had launched dozens of raids at any cost, and the other party had dropped 2,000 corpses, and their own side also suffered heavy losses.

Seeing that the sun was setting, both of them knew in their hearts that with the remaining troops in Lianyun Castle, they might not be able to survive tomorrow.

Li Siye hastily bandaged the shocking wound on his arm and said to Xue Wenyang: "Are you afraid? ”

Xue Wenyang's eyes were calm: "Don't be afraid, Brother Lang will definitely come to save us." ”

"Do you really think that kid has some three heads and six arms? There are 80,000 Tibetan troops outside the city, and even the help of our Western Expeditionary Army can't save us, how can that kid save us single-handedly. ”

"He promised me that he would do it." Xue Wenyang remembered that Yu Lang under Lan Evil City blocked Kudoza alone like a mad demon, and after breaking off the brothers of the Langzi Camp, he firmly believed that Yu Lang was a person who could create miracles.

Xiao Ting climbed to the top of the city and reported to Li Siyeyu: "General Li, all the rolling stones, woods, and arrows in the city have been exhausted, and when the next wave of Tubo troops attack the city, we can only fight with them with white blades." ”

Li Siye punched the city: "How many brothers are left who can go into battle?" ”

Xiao Ting quickly recalled for a while and said: "Counting the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, the Eagle Eye Battalion, the Modao Battalion and General Yu's personal guards, there are about 1,300 brothers who can go into battle, and another 2,000 people are too injured and basically lose their ability to fight. ”

"Without the cover of the city's defense equipment, more than 1,300 people could not stop the enemy's two rounds of charge." Although Lianyunbao is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the head of the city is not high, and the opponent forcibly attacks the city with a cloud ladder, which is difficult to resist.

Li Siye pondered for a while: "Tell me to go down, burn the grain and grass in the city, and don't leave it to the Tubo army, even if we are defeated tonight, these 80,000 Tubo people are also turtles in the urn, and in the case of insufficient grain and grass, they will not be able to support the arrival of reinforcements." Even if we fall, the victory in this battle still belongs to Datang, but unfortunately we may not see it. ”

Xiao Ting's heart sank, and he took the order with a solemn face.

The Western Expeditionary Army crossed the Bole River, and the Tubo army had no need to take Lianyunbao, but at this moment they were sandwiched between the two armies, and they had no choice, and they always needed a high-sounding reason to withdraw the army, otherwise they would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Tubo lord without a fight.

"Wait!" Xue Wenyang suddenly stopped Xiao Ting, "Look, the Tubo army has retreated!" ”

It was Yu Lang who sent a reason for the Tubo army to withdraw, using the princess's life as a bargaining chip to force the Tubo army to retreat.

Yu Lang personally went to Lianyun Castle to pick up the brothers.

The soldiers in Lianyunbao were in tears, thinking that tonight was a certain death, but General Yu actually found life for them.

At this time, the Tubo army withdrew for ten miles, and a smile appeared on Yu Lang's face: "Sons, those who can get on the war horse will follow me to chase the past!" I'll get you back! ”

After a burst of cheers, the brothers of the 1,000 cavalry battalion immediately stepped on their horses and chased after the remaining waves.

Gao Xianzhi was originally a person who was extremely committed and did not want to do such a thing to turn his face and betray the alliance, but he could not let Yu Langxiao's cavalry camp get into danger, so he had to lead 30,000 troops to follow closely behind to prevent the Tubo army from stopping its retreat and turning around to form a decisive battle.

The Tubo army was afraid of the courage of the Tang army, and the infantry that marched the slowest at the end was repeatedly charged and killed by the cavalry battalion, and there were countless people who trampled on each other.

Seeing that the fighting spirit of the army had been lost, Kudoza had no choice but to protect the princess and flee all the way to the city of Sindo, the capital of the little Boru.

Yu Lang took the lead, leading the cavalry battalion to charge repeatedly to kill more than 5,000 Tubo troops, plus self-trampling and wounded prisoners, the Tubo army lost nearly 30,000 people.

"Yu Lang, the sinister villain, first threatened the princess, and then broke his promise to hunt down and kill our army!" Kili Dongzan's eyes were blazing with anger.

"Stop talking this nonsense!" Even on the way to escape, Kudoza, the national teacher of Tubo, did not change his majesty, "You lead the cavalry to reach the city of Ao Yue first, guard the rattan bridge there, and immediately ask the lord of the country for more troops, the rattan bridge of the city of Ao Yue is the only way for my Tubo army to go to Xiao Bolu, there is no room for loss, as long as you hold there, this western expeditionary army of the Tang army is so adventurous that there is no return, we have not been defeated!" ”

Kili Dongzan sincerely admired the wisdom of his master, and immediately rode his horse and whipped up, and led the cavalry to the city of Acrosse.

Almost at the same time, Yu Lang also aimed at Ah Xuan Yue City.

At Yu Lang's suggestion, Gao Xianzhi led the army to slowly repair, and Yu Lang himself led the Xiao cavalry battalion to continue the pursuit. After all, this place is the border of Xiaobolu, and the speed at which the other party mobilizes reinforcements must be faster than that of the Tang army, so Yu Lang's plan is to blitzkrieg and take the capital of Xiaobolu at a faster speed, so that they have no time to reorganize their troops.

Gao Xianzhi agreed with Yu Lang's point of view, and considering the heavy losses of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion, he personally transferred the five thousand Black Wind Cavalry to Yu Lang as the commander and temporarily merged them into the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.

With these 6,000 elite cavalry, Yu Lang was full of confidence, and the Tubo army, who had lost his fighting spirit, could not be stopped at all.

Three days later, Yu Lang led his army across the snow-capped mountains, stepped on the glacier, and connected the two cities with the momentum of the wind and clouds. The city of Akuyue is a hot potato, and there are 2,000 cavalry and 10,000 foot soldiers brought by Kili Dongzan. Yu Lang set up a large camp outside the city of Aguyue, put on a posture of slowly trying to figure out, and secretly personally led dozens of brothers of the Eagle Eye Battalion to bypass the city of Aguyue and arrive at Poyishui, cutting off the vine bridge and the possibility of the Tubo army sending troops to help.

Later, everyone grabbed a few clothes of the Anu Yue Hu people, mixed into the city, and spread the news that the vine bridge was broken, and the Tibetan reinforcements could not come, and they would not surrender.

Although Kili Dongzan tried his best to suppress it, this person's resourcefulness and tactics were not as good as his division after all, and it was counterproductive to vigorously suppress it, and the Hu people felt that this battle would be defeated, so they opened the city gate and surrendered to the Tang army.

Kili Donzan had to lead the remnants of his army to the city of Sindo once again to join Kudoza.

Yu Lang led his troops to cover the killing, the Tubo infantry could not escape, and surrendered one after another, and Qili Dongzan really took less than 2,000 cavalry.

At this time, the outpost of the Western Expeditionary Army went to the city of Abayue, and Yu Lang handed over the prisoners to the Western Expeditionary Army, and continued to lead the cavalry battalion to the city of Sindo.

The soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion became more and more courageous, and they did not show any fatigue at all, and the heads cut down along the way were enough for them to make three turns, and followed Yu Lang to make a feat that was almost impossible to establish in a lifetime. Yu Lang has an excellent memory, and he remembers the number of enemies killed by each person clearly, and all the soldiers who were temporarily filled by the Black Wind Cavalry of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion were convinced by this young general, and strengthened their confidence in following this person to establish immortal feats.

Yu Lang and the grinding stone knife in his hand are famous, and the soldiers of the little Bolu Kingdom call them demons from the forsaken land, which has the terrible effect of stopping the child's crying. After being uprooted by iron-blooded means one after another, other cities along the way were all descended by the wind. Although the little Bolu people were afraid of Yu Lang, they knew that this person loyally pursued the principle of surrender and did not kill civilians, so they chose to surrender without exception.

In the blink of an eye, the cavalry battalion has reached the city of Sindo, as long as this city is pulled out, the important task of destroying Xiao Bolu will be completely completed.

After all, the city is the capital of the small Bolu country, with high walls and complete equipment to defend the city. The cavalry was good at field warfare but not good at attacking the city, so Yu Lang had to order to camp on the spot, see the death of the city of Sindo, prevent the lord of the little Bolu country from escaping, and wait for the main force of the Western Expeditionary Army to rush to the city of Sindo.

Gao Xianzhi was worried that Yu Lang impulsively led his cavalry to forcibly attack the city and cause losses, so he ordered the army to march day and night, and two days later, the advance force had arrived at the city of Sindo to join Yu Lang.

The army was exhausted, and Yu Lang and Gao Xianzhi decided to repair for one night before officially launching a siege battle.

In the city of sin, the lord of the little Bolu country, Hongye, frowned.

Kudoza couldn't help but sneer at him a few words: "Senior brother, you don't want to be a good lord of the country, you don't want to be glorious and rich, but you want to take the five-color jade for the Tang Dynasty, isn't it killing yourself." Now that the Tang Dynasty is prosperous, it can be called the sect of all nations, who are you messing with, you just want to provoke the Tang Dynasty. ”

Hongye was in the same class as Kudoza when he was still the prince, so he was not angry because of Kudoza's cold words, but he was quite bitter in his heart: "My Five Elements Exercise has encountered a bottleneck, and if I want to break through, I must use the five-color stone, but I didn't expect that for such a small matter, I would bring this catastrophe to the people of my country." ”

Kudozha's eyes rolled, and he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea: "How is the five elements of the junior brother's practice now?" ”

"Photogenic, there is still a line missing from the apocalypse."

Cha Shui was spit out by Kudoza, and his face was full of ecstasy: "I didn't expect you to come to this point, a few points stronger than Master back then!" ”

Hongye didn't have the intention to say this, and said casually: "After all, as the lord of Tubo, I have more resources than the master under the single-minded search, and it is also reasonable for the cultivation to be a little stronger. ”

Kudoza immediately threw the tea bowl: "The upper realm of the opposite phase, there is only one line left before the apocalypse, what are you afraid of the Tang Army doing with such strength, as soon as you show your means, you can scare the ordinary soldiers of the other party into dissipation, and the highest force among the other party's generals is just a young man in the initial realm of the phaseless." As long as you can kill this person, we can turn defeat into victory! ”

"For the sake of today, the only way to do this is to do something that is contrary to the peace of heaven." It was taboo for the two armies to kill ordinary soldiers in order to cultivate them, but in the face of the threat of annihilation, Hongye had to come forward.
