Shule was originally one of the 36 famous Western Regions in the Han Dynasty, equivalent to the vicinity of Kashgar in Xinjiang, located at the intersection of the north and south of the Western Regions, and was the main import and export of east-west transportation.

In Turkic language, it means "there is water", and its land is rich in water and grass, hence the name.

Therefore, the scale of the construction of the city is not small, with a radius of eight miles, the city is ten meters high, and there is a deep moat outside the city.

The Tibetan people spent a lot of money, from the country to transfer the proficient in defending the city of the Yanding Mountain Eagle Department of 5,000 people to garrison, the tribe is not good at horseback riding, good at mountain warfare, the city fortress guards, the residence is quite high, the mountain eagle haunts and gets the name.

They arrogantly claimed that the Tang army would not be able to defeat Shule City in ten years, and that there were 5,000 Tibetan cavalry outside the city, so it was not easy to attack.

The Tang army's offensive was led by the deputy protector of the Anxi Prefecture, Xiu Mingren, and Feng Xiaobao assisted him.

Xiu Mingren has completely figured it out, since Feng Xiaobao is a dragon crossing the river, his rise is unstoppable, and if he can't go against it, he will go with it!

He has no reservations about Feng Xiaobao, and Feng Xiaobao knows the process of the army.

One is to form a village, form a plum blossom village, a large array in the middle, a small village before and after, each garrison, so that when the enemy attacks, it can not break a village and two villages.

They brought some of the wood, and then cut down the wood outside the city, built a walled city, and erected a tall watchtower, and observed the range.

The second is to build a long encirclement, that is, to dig a trench, build a siege with soil, and surround the city, and the fifth not only improves the security of the army, but also restricts the enemy's range of activities.

The third is the dispatch of rangers, and the cavalry is divided into small teams, with Shule City as the center, and travels in all directions.

Seeing the enemy's scouts, our soldiers fought when there were many people, and left when there were few people, and the news was constantly fed back to the Chinese army.

To Feng Xiaobao's surprise, Xiu Mingren understood the comprehensive analysis of the enemy's situation, he took out a map, marked the situation of the two sides on it, and according to the map analysis, he came up with the direction in which the Tubo people might attack, so he made corresponding arrangements.

Don't underestimate the ancients, they also have "dry goods"!

The people outside the city captured by Feng Xiaobao's troops came in handy, they not only helped to build a fortress, but also dug a ditch to build a siege, and then were driven to brave arrows and stones to go to the ravine, fill in the moat, so that the Tang infantry could enter the edge of the city.

The gods fought, the mortals suffered, and the Shule people, who helped the Tubo people defend, watched their own people shoot the Tubo people and kill those who fled for the Tang army.

The screams continued, and the Shule people fell to the ground one after another.

Shuler's heart is full of bitterness!

Although after the results of the separation of Tubo and the Tang Dynasty, it will basically not be difficult for them to Shule people, after all, many affairs are inseparable from them, but before the results are separated, the first thing to shed is the blood and tears of the Shule people!

Relying on the snort of a large country to survive, the sorrow of a small country lies in this.

……

The Tang army first fought outside the city, and the Tubo people would not be stupid enough to open the city and fight, and the previous soldiers had not won it.

However, when they saw that the Tang army outside the city was three female generals who were swinging out one by one, and scolding the Tibetan men for being useless, it was not a good taste.

Tang Tian, Jin Yingshu, and Hong Xiaoshui, the three female generals, are heroic, and intend to have tricks with the Tibetan soldiers. As a result, none of them responded, and they also attracted countless applications from the Tubo people to make a move in bed!

Laugh at our Tubo people, 5,000 men, not men? Please try it in bed!

If you are cheap, you are invincible, it's boring, let's attack the city with infantry!

Outside the city, catapults were lined up, constantly throwing stones at the city, and every time a stone hit the ground, the walls shook continuously.

Even if he came from afar, he brought a lot of equipment, catapults, ladders, well railings, and carts.

In addition, regardless of the close invasion of the Tibetan cavalry and the blank eyes of the Shule people, the forest in the north of the city that the Shule people had managed to save was cut down on a large scale and made into more siege equipment.

The forests in the north of the city, thick trees abound, the forest is well developed, and there are groups of them, and there are tiger roaring mountain forests and bear roaring green valleys, which is really not easy, after all, in addition to being able to escape human hunting, there must be enough food sources to ensure their survival.

The Shule people have long known about environmental protection, and even if the weather is bad, they will not cut down the forests in the north of the city, so that the water and soil can be preserved.

After the arrival of the Tibetan people, they were relatively ignorant, and they had a sense of reverence for nature, and they would not easily touch nature. This is in stark contrast to the arrival of the civilized Tang people, who went on a large scale to cut down trees.

Feng Xiaobao also knows about environmental protection, but he will only protect his own family, who cares about the environment of others.

In addition to the siege equipment, do you need wood for encampment, and no fuel for soldiers to cook? Don't you need wood to light a campfire at night to keep warm and be vigilant?

When Xiu Mingren's military horses arrived, they were equally relaxed and happily chopped, and the primeval forest that the Shule people had preserved for centuries was unlucky.

The Tibetans once sent military horses to invade the Tang army that was cutting down trees, but under the plot of the "Mountain Infantry Division" of the Tang Army's part-time special forces, they left more than 100 corpses behind and fled in disgrace.

Chopping down the wood and making the equipment, the Tang army protected the city with Mo sword soldiers (siege equipment) in front of the battle, and the cavalry prepared after the battle, and set up three long encircles on the periphery of the east and south, and then attacked the city.

……

Feng Xiaobao was observing the siege battle outside the city, and he could see that his scalp was numb.

The siege equipment was constantly firing power, the moats in many places were filled, some cloud ladders were erected on the city walls, black smoke billowed outside the city, people were crowded, and on the way out of the city walls, one after another people carried the miserable wounded soldiers to the field hospital under the Red Cross, the wailing sound on the road was lingering, and the blood was dripping.

After a day of fighting, the whole road smelled foul, like the stench of a fishing dock that had been in operation for more than 100 years.

Xiu Mingren's field hospital was established with the great assistance of Feng Xiaobao, and was unreservedly supported by Feng Xiaobao in terms of manpower and technology.

People's hearts are made of meat, and the soldiers brought out by Xiu Mingren have fewer casualties, which makes Xiu Mingren's gaze softened when he looks at Feng Xiaobao!

And Feng Xiaobao frowned. No matter how good the field hospital is, there will still be dead people.

Wars are brutal, and siege warfare is especially brutal!

The defenders were able to inflict great casualties on the attackers with maximum firepower and the best terrain, resulting in heavy casualties, as has been the case for thousands of years.

Perhaps the advent of gunpowder would change the situation, but gunpowder never advanced.

Because Feng Xiaobao has no time for the time being, he is too busy, his military and political affairs are busy, and he has to spend a lot of time practicing his martial arts, and he doesn't even have time to soak horses! (Readers weren't very satisfied!) ）

In addition, it is better to control the weapon of gunpowder in his own hands, he once wanted to tell the Tang family and the princess of Liangzhou, but finally gave up.

What else can be used to improve sieges other than gunpowder?

Feng Xiaobao thought about it, and Xinma went to the forest north of the city. (To be continued.) )
