Chapter 209: The Battle of Yaozhou (4)

Seeing Tang Jun get up in the middle of the night, Mangdian Dachabu was also suspicious, but the princess, that is, Zhuosa. His younger brother, Shang Zanlu, came to report the incident. Mangrandachabu immediately relieved his suspicions, this midnight night, the fog was thick, and it was indeed a good time to attack the city. The princess kept an eye on it again, at least the soldiers moved, and they could see one or two.

It's not very ideal, the soldiers rushed here with all their hard work, they were all a little tired, and they didn't expect that the Tang army didn't sleep at all. But looking at the fog, I was slightly satisfied, this kind of fog, although the Tang Dynasty army rose, it was also not easy to detect their arrival. Let the cavalry get off the war horse, lead the war horse, all the soldiers must not make a sound, quietly out of the mountain road, until they come to the dam of Yaozhou, to here, is the basin valley, the terrain is very flat, this let the cavalry on the war horse, and then ordered seven thousand cavalry to charge immediately, and the other armies then charged.

There is no need to hide it anymore, and I didn't think of failure, but I was very worried about the safety of the princess.

……

Because it was the southern battalion that suffered the attack, except for the three thousand soldiers in the northern battalion, the other soldiers all arrived in the southern battalion.

The princess still said angrily: "Prince, you will still lose." ”

"No, you think that the big battalion of Gu will not be able to withstand the impact of your two armies, and before General Xue Rengui arrives, Gu will fall into your hands. When the time comes, with the trump card of Lone, even if our Tang Army has an arrangement, it will inevitably be a mouse, and you will be equal to victory? ”

A sentence spoke to the princess's heart, but there was no answer.

"Then let you see the show," Li Wei clapped his hands, and the black-toothed Changzhi led his soldiers to the outside of the camp, lifted the mud, revealing the planks one by one, and pulled the planks again, and below was a trench more than two feet deep and six or seven meters wide, and the trench was covered with many sharpened wooden stakes.

"When was this dug up?" The princess's face changed.

"Do you still remember Lone's strategy, deliberately evacuating, and trying to use three thousand armor soldiers to rush away from Yaozhou City, but it didn't work in the end? Of course, with you to report the news, any strategy will fail. But guessing the consequences, why did Lone do this? It is for this trench. I have long expected that your army will join forces with the edicts to attack, but you must be dragged when the attack is flanked, and when General Xue Rengui comes, you must hold on during this time, so not only fences, but also a trench to assist. But we have scouts, and you also have scouts, so on the bright side, scouts don't talk about it, and you have to report it. So he had no choice but to dig some temporarily in the name of digging a hole in the ground, and then after the army was transferred, General Blacktooth dug more underneath, laid planks underneath, and inserted sharp stakes. But Lone also wants to thank you, it was you who reported the news, Lone's arrangement, you don't know. ”

The princess was so angry that tears were rolling, the war had not yet begun, and the sound of horses' hooves was in front of her, this battle seemed to be more auspicious, and she had to bear a lot of responsibility for all this. In anger, he lay on Li Wei's elbow and took a bite fiercely.

"Ouch, you're a puppy, huh?" Li Wei said bitterly.

"I'm going to bite you, I'm going to bite you, you're a bad person."

Everyone didn't stop them, they just laughed. In fact, for this woman, knowing that she is an enemy, there is still no way to have a bad feeling.

The sound of horses' hooves was closer, and the Tang soldiers had pulled all the planks from the trenches, and brought the captives back again, and they were about to fight to prevent these captives from making trouble, and locked them with shackles. Methodically arranged. At the same time, the galloping sound of war horses outside the city was also heard, the gate of Yaozhou was opened, and the suspension bridge was lowered. The Tibetan general Ke Du and Meng Jian's son Meng Yedong led the soldiers out of the city to fight. It's just that Meng Yedong doesn't have the right to command, it's all Ke Lu in command.

By this time, Ke Du and Mangda Chabu still didn't know. The Tang army retreated, according to the camp and guarded, it is also a decent way of playing, the faster the war horse gallops, the faster it is, it is in front of the eyes, Mangluo Dachabu is a little confused, it stands to reason that the front and back are flanked, and there is a heavy fog to cover the figure, the Tang Dynasty military camp has suffered this great change, it should be panicked. But there was a commotion in the barracks, but it was definitely not panic. Could it be that the military discipline of the Tang Dynasty army was so strict, and there was a slight chill in my heart.

But at this time, the arrow was ready to be sent and had to be sent.

He waved his straight sword and shouted, "Rush." ”

Pei Xingjian coldly stared at the approaching black shadows in the fog, and did not speak. But the princess wanted to shout, so Li Wei ordered someone to block her and Wang Dianzi's mouths with a cloth. Still writhing, Li Wei reluctantly asked people to tie them to the Hu bed again. Then he said: "Although Lone is benevolent, you can't bully Lone Renai, don't kill women, and do whatever you want." ”

The princess made him cry again, who bullied whom? Big drops of big eye water fell out. Li Wei was kind and wiped her with a handkerchief. This rub made the princess even more angry.

The soldiers first smiled, and then their smiles stopped. The Tibetan cavalry finally arrived in front of the camp, and the great battle came! Although there were trenches, they could not allow the cavalry to attack, especially in the city and outside the city of Yaozhou, there were some elite soldiers of Tubo in the two armies. In terms of overall combat effectiveness, if you exclude them, they are no worse than the Tang Army outside the city now.

Pei Xingjian shouted: "Put!" ”

Arrows flew out, echoing in the night sky with a scream. There were still soldiers waving small round shields and striking arrows, and continued to rush towards them. But when they got to the fence, they were all stunned, and the trench was not wide, and even as soon as they reined in their horses, they could leap over. But this not wide trench and fence fit together like a moat. Some of the soldiers did not react, and fell down with men and horses, and were immediately poked through the heart by the sharp stake. Some stopped, and as they became live targets, they were shot again.

Li Wei's eyes were closed, and he couldn't bear to look at it. Unlike Changcaoling and Qiulongdu, it was the first time he had seen the scene of direct combat. The situation is brutal. Pei Xingjian said: "Your Highness, do you want to go back to the middle camp to rest?" ”

"No, you don't." Li Wei shook his head. These two hours are the most critical time, and after months of preparation, success or failure is in this move, and once you go back, it will have some impact on morale.

Mangda Chabu also saw it, and hurriedly said, "Stop." ”

I thought that the Tang Dynasty was unprepared, and even if it was prepared, it was prepared in a hurry, but I didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty army quietly dug a trench. Now such a charge is undoubtedly a death sentence. And it was the most elite cavalry in Tibet. The general Qili Xu called over and asked, "Why did the princess not see this trench dug in this trench?" ”

"General, even if it's a princess, I can't spy on much news."

"Did you come prepared?" Mangtha Chab asked.

"The subordinates don't know, but everything seems to be normal, and this Tang Dynasty army is the same as the previous Tang army, and the prince has not been on the battlefield, so he is very careful when deploying."

"That's not the case...... Manglu Dachabu felt even more uneasy, but when the tired army came, he could only hope to join forces with the army in the city to storm the Tang Dynasty military camp, and seize the prince before the Tang Dynasty army had any arrangements. Once the troops are withdrawn, the soldiers are frustrated and tired, and with any arrangements, the consequences are unimaginable. So he ordered that the concessionary army should hold a shield and carry a mud bag, and whether the camp was attacked or not, this trench must be filled in first. I don't believe it, this trench is stronger than the city wall of Yaozhou.

But I didn't feel very good in my heart, as if I had jumped into the fire pit on my own initiative.

Three thousand infantrymen held a square shield and cautiously rushed over, and the trench blocked their own family and the Tang army. As long as you protect yourself from being shot by arrows, it is not very dangerous. However, there was a whistling sound in the Tang camp, and large stones fell from the sky. Dozens of people were killed in a single call, and the soldiers were so frightened that they dropped their shields and fled. Then, as soon as they turned around, another rain of arrows came at them, and it was impossible for Mangchu Dachab to let them escape back.

I had to pick up the shield, look at the sky, and walk over step by step, but once again the rain of stones and arrows fell from the sky. In fact, in addition to the Tubo soldiers, most of the infantry are barbarian soldiers, and the equipment is very backward, even the so-called square shield is only a rattan shield, and the body armor is also rattan armor, and the defense is very poor.

To the north of the Tang Dynasty military camp, the battle also began.

Unlike the men of Mangtoda Chabu in the south, the soldiers in the city in the north accounted for a smaller proportion of the Tibetan soldiers, and the morale was very poor. Ke Du was scolding, but one by one he wore a shield, he didn't dare to move forward, he stayed by the frog river, you pushed me, I pushed you. was so angry that Ke Du had to sacrifice military methods and kill several people before the army cautiously approached the Tang Dynasty military camp. Until I heard that the battle began in the south, and there was fog across the camp, and I didn't know the situation of the battle, I became a little bolder. A swarm of bees ran towards the Tang Dynasty army camp.

Ke Xuan was angry and shouted loudly: "Arrange the formation, arrange the formation." ”

This is a two-way attack, otherwise the Tang army will be defeated immediately with one attack. Then he kept shaking his head.

A shout, rushed over, indeed, this shout also gave a lot of courage to the enemy in the south. But when they arrived at the camp, arrows flew out, some advancing, some retreating, and it became a mess. Xue Ne said: "Do you want to send an army out to charge?" ”

Hei Tooth Changzhi shook his head and said, "You can't rush, it's a drag now, and you want to give them an illusion." ”

Many soldiers shouted, and finally rushed to the front of the camp, and were dumbfounded when they saw the trench. As a result, there was another rain of arrows, and there were many soldiers who rushed over, but not many soldiers who could go back safely and soundly. Hearing the soldiers' report, Ke Lu made the same arrangement as Manglu Dachab, so that the soldiers carried shields and mud bags on their backs, and there were fewer cavalry in the city, so they had to fill in the trench. The difficulty is not too big, as long as you attack the camp, a big victory is imminent. He was even more innocent than he thought.

The battle between the two sides began, but the northern camp was quiet. To be able to join forces with the Tubo people to attack the southern camp, the courage of the barbarians is not small, and they dare not divide their troops to attack the northern camp. In fact, it didn't matter whether to attack or not, three thousand soldiers left the northern camp at the same time.

Taking advantage of the fog and night, he retreated to the north, took some roads, and recoiled back to the southeast of Yaozhou City. This section of the city wall of Yaozhou City is the shortest and the most difficult to attack, just outside a small lake, the lake is not very deep, and there are many reeds growing inside. On the periphery of the lake, there is a small forest of trees that grow very well. This kind of terrain just makes the natural moat of Yaozhou City.

Three thousand people crept into the grove, and Liang Jishou said, "Everyone, get ready. ”

These people are all soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who know how to be watery, some are good, some are not good, only some, but in this small lake, they will not be afraid. But not only that, in order not to make a sound, Li Wei taught them another method, blowing a water bladder, tying it around his waist, and making a stupid swimming ring. The principle is very simple, but for the people at this time, it is very magical.

The airbag was tied around his waist, and he held the weapon in his hand, tied the rope and hook, and quietly went into the water, it was the middle of February, and the lake water at night was still very cold. One by one, gritting their teeth, they quietly swam into the reeds, lurked, and then quietly listened to the movement in the south...... (To be continued.)
