Chapter 704: Long Song and Tears

After Yan Zongwang fought a decisive battle in the field, the ambition of annexing Xijin Mansion continued, and Zhao Yougong, in order to return to Guanzhong as soon as possible, on the second day of the city, the army did not take a break and directly attacked the last barrier in the northeast of Luozhi City, the spring of Tubo. Sangye City, known as the Spring of Tibet, as the name suggests, is fertile and produces food. This is a thousand miles of fertile wilderness, with beautiful clear water, more vast grassland, cattle and sheep are unknown, and the herdsmen have lived for thousands of years again. However, Kuwano City also has a shortcoming, that is, there is no danger to defend, and even the city is a bit thin.

There is a quiet river in the south of Kugye City, called Qushui River, which is also the spring river on the plateau, at this time, a cavalry slowly walked along the Qushui River, and immediately one person held a clairvoyant mirror, looking at Kugye City not far away. Zhao Yougong observed for a while, put away the clairvoyant mirror, called Wu Jue who was beside him, looked at Wu Jue in front of him, he asked with a smile, "Jin Qing, this attack on Sangye City will be handed over to you, can you break Sangye City in one day?" ”

Wu Jue held his head high and said with great confidence, "Your Highness, rest assured, Xu Mo will have 10,000 soldiers and horses, and before the end of tomorrow, the last general will definitely take Sangye City and open up the road to Luo Some City!" ”

Zhao Yougong nodded lightly, and then handed over the task of attacking the city to Wu Jue, which caused Xiao Yue, Liu Jian and others to be very dissatisfied, Wu Jinqing fought the battle of Amdo City, and led the troops to lead the battle of Damu City, which can be said to be a very high credit, why did he still let him attack Sangye City? Is this to throw all the credit to Wu Jinqing? Zheng Biao didn't say anything, his face was distorted, and he snorted in his nose, anyway, His Royal Highness was too biased towards Wu Jinqing. Xiao Yue is a Liao general in the end, and he has a little groove in his heart. But it won't come out either. But Liu Jian couldn't help it. This time he attacked Tibet with the army, but he wanted to show a good attitude. Now the famous people in the Dingguo military system are not good, I think which of the same batch of Han Shizhong, Gao Chong, Wu Jue, Lin Chong and others as him is not the leading party and is admired, just him Liu Qian, because he has been in Dayangtan for a long time, and his name is about to be covered by Yue Fei and Wu Luan, two hairy boys, which is really unbearable.

"Your Highness. General Wu has gone through several major battles and is physically and mentally exhausted, so this Sangye City will be handed over to the last one" After speaking, Liu Jian also swept Wu Jue provocatively. The corners of Wu Jue's mouth twitched, and he laughed in his heart, he didn't have the heart to compete with Liu Kuang, how could he say that Liu Kuang was also a junior, and he could still compete with him? Besides, now that he Wu Jue is already a top general, no matter how meritorious he is, he can't climb far. Hum. His Royal Highness said this on purpose, deliberately provoking these juniors. I didn't see it, Liu Jian was like this, then Yue Pengju was already glaring, "Your Highness, General Liu and General Wu are too tired, let's leave it to the last general, the last general is young, it's okay to run more errands." ”

Yue Fei inserted a pole horizontally, blackening Liu Kuan's face, Liu Kuang said in his heart, Lao Tzu is more or less a veteran in the army, it's not good to put up a fight in front of Wu Jue and others, I'm afraid that you won't be a hairy boy? Glaring at Yue Fei, he said angrily, "Yue Fei, what does Sang Yecheng have to do with you, Liu is young, and he doesn't need you to do it for him." ”

"Hey, General Liu, it's not right for you to say that, the little brother is not thinking about you, I heard that you were a little injured when you played in the city yesterday" Yue Fei's temperament was not convinced by anyone except Han Shizhong and Zhao Yougong, Liu Jian was furious, and he immediately went-for-tat. Xiao Yue is old and serious, and after watching it for a while, he saw a little taste, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, these two guys are still too young, but don't say it, if you really let these two people attack Sang Ye City together, it is estimated that this Sang Ye City will not last long.

Sure enough, after a while, Zhao Yougong feigned anger and said, "Shut up, what to fight for, don't you just want to fight Sangye City, that's not simple, this king will give you 10,000 people, one person will receive 5,000, and fight Sangye City reasonably, whoever enters the city will get the first credit." ”

As soon as they heard that the city could be attacked, the two of them stopped arguing, and ran to other places to reorganize the troops and horses. Sangye City originally had more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, but then Damu City changed and needed reinforcements, so more than 5,000 people were withdrawn, and the troops of some cities were empty, and more than 8,000 people were withdrawn, so now there are less than 7,000 people in the entire city, and these more than 7,000 people are not considered elite. How can these people alone hold Kumino Castle? Zhao Yougong knew very well that it was only a matter of time before he conquered Sangye City, but he didn't want to spend too long, so it was best to take Sangye City as quickly as possible and get closer to Luozhi City. And to use the strategy to provoke Yue Fei and Liu Kuo, I hope that these two people can think about it and break the city at the fastest speed and the lowest cost. Since these two guys want to break the city, they will definitely rack their brains to show themselves, and if they don't fight this battle beautifully, it will definitely not be a win.

Sure enough, as soon as he got the task, the two guys began to study it, Liu Jian was smart and quickly thought of a way, he found that the city gate of Sangye City was not thick, so he asked people to build a city crash car, and planned to break the city gate first. As long as the city gate is sprinkled with black oil, burned, and then hit with a crashing car, it will definitely be knocked apart, and the thin iron gate made by the Tubo people will not be able to withstand the impact of high temperatures. Liu Jian has an idea here, and Yue Fei is not far behind, isn't it just to quickly occupy Sangye City, and today he has to take the city without blood.

Before noon that day, the rumbling drums sounded from the east and west, and the nerves of the Tibetan soldiers who had been waiting in the city for a long time immediately tensed, and some even trembled with their hands. There is no way, the recent period of time has made the Dingguo army fight with a psychological shadow, from north to south, more than a dozen battles, stunned is a non-win, perhaps the most beautiful is the beginning of the bloody battle of Namco, but although the Dingguo army was blocked that time, the Namco defenders were still annihilated by the Han people. For holding Kugye City, the people in the city don't have much confidence, Amdo City and Damu City can't stop the Dingguo Army, how can they defend Kugye City with no danger to defend? Many people think that staying in the city is waiting for death, but Da Zampu gave a death order, and he must defend Sangye City to the death, otherwise military law will be involved. In Tibet, there is its own set of military laws, and if anyone dares to disobey military laws, not only will they be severely punished, but even their families will be implicated. There is no way but to wait. Now that the Han people are about to attack the city, everyone has a feeling that the end is coming, and the rumbling drums are like the sound of magnificent horses' hooves. The earthquake shook the entire Kuwano City to the ground.

Liu Jian was responsible for attacking the east gate. Drums rumble. But not too many people were discharged, only a few dozen soldiers rushed to the east gate with thick shields. Kuwano Castle is not a military town, let alone a moat, and there are no ordinary fortifications, so he rushed over unimpeded with a shield. The Tibetan soldiers in the city were also helpless about this, and the feather arrows in their hands could not hurt the Han people hiding behind the shields. The soldiers of the Dingguo Army came to the city gate and smashed some clay pots in their hands on the city gate. The casing shattered, and immediately a black liquid flowed out, accompanied by a pungent smell. This is black oil, that is, the oil of later generations, but the Tubo people don't know what this thing is, the centurion of the city head felt that there were only a few dozen of these Han people, and he looked down on people too much, so he led people down the city wall, wanted to open the city gate, and slashed and killed. But just as the centurion went down. The spark touched the black oil, and the entire iron gate was ablaze. The centurion led the men to open the door. was scalded by the high temperature, and several soldiers' hands were directly burned.

The big iron gate burned, and Liu Jian naturally would not let go of the opportunity and immediately organized a siege, but most of the people who besieged the city were covering, and the real killer was the city crashing car. There was a lot of commotion in the east, but it was very quiet in the west, only the sound of golden drums was heard, and the roar of the soldiers attacking the city could not be heard. I couldn't let go of my heart, so I went to the west to quietly see what the situation was.

Outside the West City Gate, Yue Fei was eating a clairglass, holding a straw in his mouth, he looked so relaxed, it seemed to be fighting for merit, "Hey, you guys work hard, beat the drum a little, haven't you eaten?" ”

General Yue commanded with a big thorn, and the soldiers could only obey, but the depression in their eyes was revealed, and when they beat the drum, they beat the drum, but what is the matter if they only beat the drum and don't work? This General Yue is not very old, but he is quite able to play tricks, just let people beat drums, not send a single soldier, do you plan to use the drum to scare the Tubo people to take the initiative to sacrifice the city?

Yue Fei naturally didn't explain much, he did it for a reason, the sound of drums can not only play a role in deterring the Tubo people, but also exaggerate the atmosphere. The battle in the east was in full swing, and Yue Fei was not in a hurry, so he paced slowly, until he had fought for almost a quarter of an hour in the east, and then he saw a group of soldiers and horses coming from the west, and there was a group of Tibetan people in front of this army and horses. Seeing these Tubo people, Yue Fei smiled with a smile, a fool can only learn from Liu Jian to attack the city, now the Tubo people in the city are obviously demoralized and have no will to fight, as long as they are slightly intimidated, these people will sacrifice the city, so ah, a strong attack is definitely the next strategy. Walking up to those Tibetan people, he asked Cao Xiang, the deputy general next to him, "These people are all herdsmen from Qushui River, right?" ”

"General Yue, don't worry, you definitely did what you ordered, all from the bank of the Qushui River!" Cao Xiang said with some excitement, looking at the eyes of those Tubo people like a wolf touching a sheep. Yue Fei nodded, secretly proud in his heart, he had thought about attacking Sangye City before, so he did an investigation in advance. Most of the defenders of Sangye City were withdrawn from the old capital of Tubo, and most of the soldiers stationed in Sangye City at that time came from both sides of the Qushui River. Collecting his mood, his face turned cold, his arm raised and pointed at the frightened Tubo people, and said in a loud voice, "Sue you, this general is the general of the National Army, Yue Fei, and he was ordered to attack Sangye City?" I believe you also know the strength of my Dingguo army, now I will give you a chance, go to the city to speak Chinese, call out the men in your family, as long as it can be done, to ensure that your family is fine, if you wait for the general to storm Sangye City, after the city is broken, no one will be left. ”

Yue Fei's words were sharp, and when someone translated them to those Tubo people, when they understood what the little Han general meant, these Tubo herdsmen immediately turned pale with fright and trembled. During this time, I heard a lot about the legends of the Dingguo Army, and I heard that these people are demons under the command of the gods. Now that Amdo City and Damu City have been lost, where can the troops of less than 10,000 people hold Kuwarno City? Nowadays, Tubo does not have a complete concept of the state, some are just tribes, which is very similar to the Khitans, if they can live, no one will be willing to die in vain. The soldiers in the city don't understand, but the herdsmen living in the Qushui River know very well that Da Zampu did not send a single soldier to Sangye City, in fact, there are no soldiers to send, Sangye City can't stand it, is it necessary to die with this city?

There were a few die-hard elements who expressed their dissatisfaction, but Yue Fei was not polite. With a wave of the hand. A few tiger and wolf soldiers pounced. In front of the Tibetan people, the heads of those people were cut off, and at the same time, the families of the deceased were registered in a serious manner. Such a ruthless method completely suppressed the Tubo people, and under the beating and beating, nearly 400 Tubo people walked towards Sangye City resignedly.

The sound of killing in the east city shook the sky, and the city gate was crumbling after being slammed, maybe the next moment. The city gate will collapse, so the Tibetan soldiers who are responsible for guarding the eastern city are waiting for the battle at the city gate in panic. And in Xicheng, those Tubo soldiers were even more uneasy, originally the drum sounded, and there was no one in sight, it was enough to make people worry, this person, the visible ones were not very afraid, but those who could not be seen, they were afraid to death. The Tibetan soldiers all felt that the Han people had some kind of conspiracy. It turned out to be right, someone came to attack the city. When they saw those people, many Tubo soldiers knelt on the head of the city and cried, and many people's fathers, mothers, and daughters-in-law were inside. The longbowmen of the Dingguo army squatted behind and waited, the posture was clear at a glance, as long as there was a change in the city, it was estimated that they would shoot the people under the city with arrows.

Didn't it say that the Dingguo army was brave and good at fighting, why was it so shameless, it was even inferior to bandits, and the dignified army clashed, and even arrested people's families as shields. I have to say that this trick is very effective, at least the Tubo people on the head of the city dare not move.

An old man named Zu Lu beckoned to the city, and cried in a hoarse voice, "Na Zhong, go home with Daddy, we won't defend this city, Da Zampu put everyone in Luo Some City, and no reinforcements were sent, this is to watch you die." Let's stop fighting this battle, and go home, lest the city be unable to hold it, and the whole clan will suffer. ”

The words of the old man Zulu were the words of these Tubo people, and with the voice of the old man Zulu, a series of shouts were remembered under the city, and many Tubo soldiers cried on the head of the city. The soldiers of the Dingguo Army were also very righteous and did not take advantage of this opportunity to kill them. By these Tubo people, the whole Xicheng is completely messed up, if the Tubo soldiers still have a heart to fight before, but now there is nothing left, so I want to go out of the city and follow my family home. The centurions panicked, if these soldiers really left, it would be them, the centurions and thousands, who would suffer.

"All quiet, all quiet, this is a trick of the Han people, don't go out of the city, the Han people will not let us go out of the city" A thousand masters shouted loudly, but unfortunately no one listened to his words at all, a plan could not be made, and another plan was born, this thousand commanders were ruthless, and made the most stupid decision. He thought that those people under the city disturbed the morale of the army, so wouldn't it be enough to kill these people? Very moment, extraordinary means, it is said that the idea of the commander is not wrong, but the timing is really wrong, at this time, the Tubo soldiers do not see the hope of defending the city at all, and the appearance of their families just gives them a step to go out of the city and go home. If the two armies were to face each other under normal circumstances, there would be no problem with the Thunder method, but now there will be a problem. The commander of the thousand tribe personally held a longbow and shot the old man Zulu with an arrow, and then glared at his eyes and roared, "Whoever dares to disturb the morale of the army again will end up like this." ”

The thunder means did not deter the soldiers at the head of the city, but backfired, the soldier Na Zhong pounced with red eyes, and immediately scuffled with the commander, this time it was lively, some of the general's soldiers and ordinary soldiers fought together, and there was nothing to do with the national army. In the end, Hao Ce, the commander of the thousand commanders, was killed, and the soldiers of Xicheng Tubo soon opened the city gates. In this way, Yue Feibing entered the city without blood, of course, he did not kill these Tubo soldiers as promised, he wanted to let the Tubo people know that the Dingguo Army is credible, and it can kill people and save people. Of course, Yue Fei still had something to say in his heart, that is, he wouldn't talk about credibility when he shouldn't talk about credibility.

Liu Jian didn't fight easily at all, although he broke through the city gate, but he really fought a vicious battle at the east city gate, from the siege of the city to the capture of the east city, it was only an hour and a half. Liu Jian felt that he was fast enough, so he rode a horse and led his subordinates to rush to the west, then Yue Peng's movements were too slow, so let him Liu someone help. Liu Jian was very happy, he felt that he had won this game, but when he came to the West City Gate, the whole person almost didn't fall off the horse, the West City Gate was quiet, there was no trace of the battle at all, and the most strange thing was that Yue Fei was sitting leisurely under the city gate and roasting the fire, and there was a skewer of barbecue on the fire.

Liu Jian almost thought that he was insane, what the hell, how did Yue Pengju do it? Although defeated, you have to understand the defeat, sitting opposite, it is indispensable to ask, when you know how Yue Fei broke through the West City, Liu Jian sincerely admired, "Brother Yue, no wonder His Royal Highness always says that you are flexible in using troops, today's battle, it can be seen, but your method is also Tete."

"Hehe, it's a little shameless, what can't you say, when I studied the art of war with His Royal Highness, His Highness personally said that as long as you can win the battle and die fewer people, what is your personal face?" Yue Fei was not stupid at all, he directly moved His Royal Highness Zhao out, and now Liu Jian couldn't say anything, if he said it again, wouldn't he even scold His Highness?

Liu Jian smiled awkwardly, and ate the meat skewers, he was very depressed in his heart, he was really unconvinced by the defeat, "Brother Yue, let's do this today?" A small Kuganoshi city satisfied you? ”

Listening to Liu Kuan's words, Yue Fei frowned, and then his eyes lit up, staring at Liu Kuan's face, and asked with a smile, "General Liu, what do you mean?" ”

"Brother Yue, you are a smart person, do you still want to speak for your brother? His Royal Highness ordered us to fight Sangye City, but he didn't say that he couldn't move forward if he beat Sangye City, now that our army's morale is booming, and he is not very tired, why not come and smash Huanglong once? Why, could it be that Brother Yue is a little timid and doesn't dare to go? ”

Yue Fei is too young, where can he stand Liu Kuan's contemptuous eyes, and besides, he is also very excited, if he can go straight to the west of the city and choke the throat of the west of the city, wouldn't it be easy for His Highness to seize the city of the city next? Yue Fei was very excited and confident, so the two people who were unwilling to be lonely hit it off, exchanged glances, and started to act. On the same day, just after the defeat of the city of Luo, tens of thousands of troops rushed to the area of the Qushui River, everyone thought that Liu Jian and Yue Fei were going to clear the remnants of the Tibetan army, but that night, the 10,000 army suddenly turned to the northwest, bypassed the Qushui River, and went straight to the Tuerbu Temple in the west of the city.

Liu Jian and Yue Fei thought they were smart enough, where did they think that their every move had already fallen into the ears of His Royal Highness Zhao, listening to the return of the scouts, Dongfang Jin, Xiao Zhiyun and the others looked at each other and smiled, these two calves are really wild enough. Dongfang Jin shook the feather fan, shivering all over, but he looked solemn, "Your Highness, the time has come, these two people are scheming, eighty percent will be able to conquer the Tuerbu Temple tonight, and then we should also act." ”

Those Tuerbu Temples were originally planned, but they couldn't be known, there were many people, especially so many people in the Dingguo Army, if the plan was leaked, it would be impossible to capture the Tuerbu Temple in the shortest possible time. Dongfang Jin picked Yue Fei and Liu Jian because he saw that these two goods were young and vigorous, and they would not be satisfied with a small Sangye City, these two people would try their best to hide their whereabouts when they went to Tuerbu Temple, and the others didn't know what these two wanted to do, so wouldn't it be the best way to sneak attack?

Dongfang Jin and His Royal Highness Zhao showed a wicked smile, Xiao Yue, Gao Zhong and others secretly pouted, obediently knocking, those two melon babies were tricked again, it is estimated that those two goods are still proud to think that they have done something earth-shattering.

In the city, in the Potala Palace, a red candle shone a little yellow light, and under the candlelight, Zhuoma Yizan leaned over and drank wine. It is said that the sorrow is more concentrated through wine, and it is said that Zhuoma praises it, there was once a great dream to conquer the world, and now this dream is to indulge in fine wine. The big dream is drunk, and I don't want to wake up when I'm drunk!

The jade of other mountains, the only sound in the dream, the blue moon for many years, the fireworks of the past. The Qushui River still flows quietly, and this bloodline river of the Tubo Dynasty has not changed for thousands of years. The Sanskrit sound of the Jokhang Temple endured for a long time, and in the sacred Potala Palace, the king of Tibet was pale. Zhuoma is old, he is only in his thirties, but he is really old, he has no heart and fighting spirit, just like a camel waiting for death. (To be continued......)
