Chapter 620: Defeat
(Xie: Jianshan Qingzhilian, Moshaocong, Ruhuo Mingai M and other brothers' reward monthly passes)
Ah Luo shook his hands and feet to help Wang Yuan break the exposed arrows, and tore off his underwear to firmly entangle the wound. She knew www.biquge.info that Wang Yuan must have been shot in order to protect herself. Just now, Wang Yuan had been protecting himself to one side, blocking the direction of the arrow, and he must have been distracted and hit by an arrow.
"Erlang, does the wound hurt? Can't move your arms? Arlo's tears rolled in her eyes.
How could Wang Yuan have time to answer these questions, at this moment, the shouting of killing in the city and under the city shook the sky, it was the time when the Jiannan Army was fully attacking the city, and there was no pain in the wound. Fortunately, this arrow hit the left shoulder, although the left hand can not be forced, but the right hand can also hold the sword, when it does not affect the charge to kill the enemy. So he urged Ah Luo to finish the bandaging quickly.
Under the city, nearly 6,000 Tang soldiers had already rushed up the mountain beam, and the ladder was also passed up from below, and 6,000 soldiers charged towards the city wall under the rain of arrows. The Tibetan defenders at the head of the city shot arrows desperately, intending to prevent the Tang army from rushing to the gate of the urn city.
Wang Yuan lit the inner city gate instead of the urn city gate, which Wang Yuan had carefully considered. Generally speaking, the city built an urn outside the city gate to strengthen the defense of the city gate. Generally speaking, the main place to attack during the siege is the city gate, because once the city gate is breached, the soldiers and horses can be unimpeded. And unless it is absolutely necessary, few besieging soldiers and horses choose to attack the city wall as a last resort. The reason is simple, the city wall is high and steep, and there are a large number of long-range weapons on it, and the cost of attacking the city wall is self-evident.
In the case of a large number of cities with sophisticated siege equipment, attacking the city walls is also an option. Because, after all, the operation of a large corps needs ample space to give full play to its superior forces. You can't 100,000 people attack the city and set the target at the city gate and block yourself to death. At this time, the best strategy is to launch an all-out attack, give full play to the superior forces, and disperse the enemy's defensive forces.
Therefore, it is also very particular whether a city is repaired or not. Not all cities are suitable for building urn cities. And a city like Motuo is itself dangerous, the city is not large, and the space is also very limited, so the construction of the urn city is a kind of snake to add to the snake.
The terrain on the mountain beam is narrow, and there are less than 200 steps from the east gate to the stone slope, and it is obviously not wise to build an urn city within 200 paces. Tubo people often fail to learn the essence of the Tang Dynasty's urban pattern. The urn city of Motuo City was forced by the topography and space, and was built into a strange shape that was long and narrow from north to south. At the same time, in order not to block the sight of the defenders on the main city wall, the wall of the urn city was forced to be five feet shorter. Drawing a tiger is not an anti-dog, and he has learned four different things.
Viewed from afar, the urn city of Motuo City resembles a secondary wall clinging to the main wall. The advantage is that when defending, both walls can be stationed on the defensive forces, which gives the more than 30,000 troops in the city that are overallocated. But the disadvantage is that such an urn city is not worthy of its name, and it can be broken as soon as it is attacked. The low walls were completely defenseless. On the north and south sides, the city wall was as short as only about 20 paces, and a thousand soldiers were crowded.
The irrationality of the city of Motuo was soon apparent. Although the 6,000 Tang troops suffered heavy casualties when they charged, when they rushed to the city wall of the urn city, they had an extra layer of fortification protection, and the shooting route of the archers on the main city wall was blocked by the wall of the urn city, but they could not shoot the Tang army.
You must know that within a distance of dozens of paces from the city wall is the best killing distance for the archers at the head of the city, and at this time, they can shoot directly at the target. In addition to hand-to-hand combat in siege battles, the area with the heaviest casualties is this distance. And now, because of the wall of this urn city, the Tang army can hide.
Aware of this problem, several Tibetan generals loudly ordered archers to send reinforcements to the walls of the city with the intention of shooting the Tang troops hiding under the walls of the city. But they forgot that the low walls of the urn city were simply undefensible. Soon the Tang army emerged from the walls of the urn city. Moreover, the murderous demon on the city wall rushed to the city wall and began to slash and kill the soldiers. What's even more terrifying is that there are two more people next to him who will cut and kill people when they see them. Like the murderer, they were all dressed in Tibetan scale armor. It seems to be a gang.
Gongsun Lan no longer knows how many people she has killed, and her hands are sore. What is infuriating is that the Tibetan soldiers began to run away when they saw their father and mother, and later saw her kill and even lost interest in escaping. He only looked at himself with complaining eyes, as if to say, "Come on, cut me, I can't run anyway, I'll exhaust you." ”
There are a few difficult generals chasing after him to kill, but Gongsun Lan is well versed in the way of fighting more with less, that is, not entangled with strong enemies, killing one person and leaving, trying to kill the enemy as much as possible.
When the city gate was on fire, Gongsun Lan consciously killed back to the city gate to meet Wang Yuan, and when she saw Wang Yuan and A Luo coming up the city from the stairs, Gongsun Lan breathed a sigh of relief. But she also saw the wound on Wang Yuan's left shoulder.
"What's wrong?" Gongsun Lan cut off the head of a Tubo soldier next to him with a sword and asked loudly.
"I was shot in a sword." Wang Yuan also slashed to death the head of a Tibetan soldier who was holding a scimitar next to him and slashed at him.
"Why was it so careless?" Gongsun Lan cut off the other head with another sword.
"I don't want to, I can't die anyway." There is an extra ghost under Wang Yuan's sword.
"It's to save the arrow in me." Ah Luo also cut off a head to join in the fun.
"It's none of your business." Wang Yuan cut off his head.
"It's not a way for us to do this, find a way to help the army break through the urn city. The inner gates will soon burn down, and the army will be able to march straight in. Gongsun Lan cut off another head.
"Okay, let's go to the city wall of the urn city to kill, the Tubo people have increased their troops on the wall of the urn city. In other words, these Tubo soldiers are really tough, why don't they escape, let us cut and kill? Wang Yuan cut off the other head.
"We want to escape, but how can we escape?" A Tibetan soldier thought so, and the next moment his head flew into the sky.
Once the vanguard army gained a foothold, the Jiannan army was reinforced at a rapid pace. Liu Jun had already seen Wang Yuan and the other three people chopping melons and vegetables on the wall of the urn city from a distance, and couldn't help but shout in surprise. Gongsun Lan and Wang Yuan fought along the wall of the urn city to the front, and shouted to the Jiannan army below: "Knock open the gate of the urn city, the city gate inside is about to collapse, and you can drive straight into the city by knocking on the city gate." ”
When the Jiannan army below heard this, he immediately began to move, although he couldn't rush up to the car, there was no shortage of logs, and there was a mess everywhere on the stone slope. The soldiers carried the logs up and rammed the gates of the urn city with great effort. Dozens of times later, the gate of the urn city burst open. At the same time, the main gates had been burned to ashes.
An urn city is transparent at both ends, so what is it called an urn city? And there are only more than 20 steps between the gate of the urn city and the main city, and you can rush to it in a few breaths, which gate is this urn city?
As the Jiannan army poured into the city in large numbers towards the hot main city gate, the psychological defense line of the Tibetan defenders finally collapsed.
The lord of the city was killed before he could go to war; A murderous demon at the head of the city is like entering a no-man's land, I don't know how many people he has killed, he can't run away if he is targeted, and he can't cure him, so he can only let him go unchecked; Tens of thousands of people set fire to the city gate under their noses, and the so-called impregnable urn city became a bunker for the Tang army to hide.
One thing after another is like a nightmare, and no one can figure out how the city of Metuo, which is so tightly defended, and the boasting birds can't fly in, is so vulnerable. Could it be that the Living Buddha has abandoned us? Does God punish us?
The Jiannan army rushed into the city of Motuo with the momentum of a dragon and a tiger, and the small city of Motuo was suddenly full of people. The 30,000 soldiers and horses stationed in this small city have been crowded, and now tens of thousands of Tang troops are rushing in regardless of it, and there is simply no place for the city.
The Tibetan soldiers and horses did not resist for long before the great rout, the west gate had already been secretly opened, and the defeated army poured out of the city like a tide, and fled along the mountain beam to the west and crawled into the valley and dense forest. Song Jiangong and other generals did not give up, and pursued them with soldiers and horses until dawn, and then collected their troops and returned to the city.
