Chapter 517: Capture of Derg
The Tubo soldiers did not expect the enemy to fall from the sky, and when they came to their senses and looked at the big guy like the ghost fire floating in the sky, they did not resist at the first time, but scurried around like seeing a ghost.
Wooden took the opportunity to open the gate of Daowu with people, and the army of Niu Jinda swarmed in, and the Tubo army had no fighting spirit, and was soon disintegrated, and one by one knelt on the ground and surrendered. Labukoga also wanted to lead people to resist, but was beheaded by Shang Shan. The city of Daowu was also captured by the Tang army.
Niu Jinda occupied Daowu and continued to lead the army towards the next Guancheng Mountain Rock City. The road was rough, and after about a month of arduous trekking, the Tang army arrived at Shanyan City.
At this time, Nie Puduo and the others had completely returned to their hearts, and he stepped forward and said to Niu Jinda: "General, the guard of this Mountain Rock City is my brother Nie Pudong. If the adults believe me, I am willing to go into the city and persuade my brother to surrender. ”
Niu Jinda was overjoyed when he heard this: "General Nie Puduo is willing to contribute to my Datang, of course it is the best." We have no doubt about employing people, and General Neppudo will go if he wants to. I'm here waiting for your good news. ”
Nie Puduo kowtowed to the ground, and then entered Mountain Rock City alone.
Niu Jinda waited here slowly with a large army, and this wait was more than a day, Qin Huaiyu, Wu Deng and others all thought that they had fallen for Nie Puduo, and asked to send troops to attack Shanyan City and capture Nie Puduo and Nie Pudong brothers.
Niu Jinda waved his hand slightly to calm them down. Sure enough, at noon the next day, the gate of Shanyan City opened, and the brothers Pin Puduo and Nie Pudong walked out of it.
Niu Jinda laughed and welcomed them in, and Nie Puduo knelt down and said, "The last general, Nie Puduo, will see the general, and I will come back to give the order." ”
Niu Jinda laughed and helped them up. Nie Pudong didn't say a word and invited them into Mountain Rock City. As soon as they were seated, Nie Pudong said that he had a gift for Niu Jinda.
Niu Jinda was stunned, and just as he didn't know what they were going to give him, Nie Pudong gave an order, and the Tubo soldiers under his command pushed up a white-haired old man.
Nie Pudong saw Niu Jinda and the others puzzled and smiled: "General, this person is the guard general of Ganzi named Chisang." Ever since the general breached the Daowu, he has always wanted to fight against the Heavenly Soldiers with me. These days, Chi-san is also a guest at my place; I captured him and sent him to a general. ”
Niu Jinda was overjoyed when he heard this, wouldn't capturing Chisang be equivalent to Ganzi at his fingertips. He stood up and thanked Nie Pudong. Then he looked at this somewhat ordinary old man.
Nie Puduo smiled: "The general doesn't look at him as stunning, but his two sons are very famous. His eldest son, Chisang Yangdun, is now a minister in front of the renunciation of Zonglongzan, and his second son, Chisang Yala, is the guard of Qamdo City, and they are all one of the Seven Sages of Tibet.
Niu Jinda suddenly realized, he laughed and stepped forward to untie Chisang's rope, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Boss, he abandoned the sect and couldn't praise the number of courtesies, and he dared to instruct his subordinates to do evil in Chang'an, and killed the county lord of the Tang Dynasty, he was already in a catastrophe."
The boss has a family history and extraordinary knowledge; I want you to see the situation; Draw a line with the abandonment of the sect and the praise. In this way, your family can be preserved, and you yourself can enjoy prosperity and retirement; If you have to see each other, I'm afraid that you will not be able to die well! ”
Chi Sang was already so frightened that he was almost out of pulse, and he was so frightened by Niu Jinda that he almost squatted on the ground in the end.
"Yes! Be! The general was right, the little old man dared to disobey his orders, so he dedicated Ganzi City, and sent a letter to the two children, asking them to join the adults together. ”
Niu Jinda laughed and praised him. Then let Qin Huaiyu go with him, and took Ganzi City bloodlessly.
After capturing four cities in a row, Niu Jinda led the army to make a slight correction. This is already a plateau, although they are often stationed in Songzhou for training, but the soldiers are still a little uncomfortable, and many people have altitude sickness.
After repairing for more than ten days, the army continued to set off and went straight to the city of Derg. The city was built on the pass of Qi'er Mountain, and it was built entirely against the mountain. It is known as the highest in Tibet and the first risk in Tibet; The garrison commander Sal was also a famous general in Tibet.
Looking at this Xiongguan, whether it was Nie Puduo, the Nie Pudong brothers, or Chi Sang, they had no idea. Niu Jinda smiled: "Can any of you tell me about this General Sal, I heard that there are many legends about him." ”
Chisang said: "Sal is an anomaly, he is a commoner of the Asu grassland, it is said that he was born very extraordinary, he began to help his mother work at the age of 5, and he was able to hunt at the age of 8; At the age of 12, he became famous in the Asu Grassland and won the horse race.
Later, he was valued by the tribal leader and married the chief's daughter, Mori Mijo. Later, he was out of control and finally abandoned the sect and entrusted with the important task of guarding Derge City.
This guy is a sworn friend who abandons his sect and praises, and he is loyal to him, and he must not be persuaded to persuade him; However, this Derge City is extremely dangerous, and it is not easy to storm it. ”
Niu Jinda smiled when he heard this: "Yes, he is a hero, it is worth meeting him for a while, but unfortunately we are our own masters, otherwise we might as well invite him to have a drink." ”
The army of the Tang Dynasty arrived at the city, and Sal also placed soldiers at the head of the city. Niu Jinda looked at the burly figure and black hair on the head of the city; a righteous man with a face; Nodding slightly, he said loudly: "Is it General Sal in the city?" ”
Sal looked at the heavily armored Tang army under the city, and in front of the Tang army stood a general with golden helmets and golden armor, majestic and extraordinary; In his heart, he also nodded secretly and said: "Yes, you are really a general, you are Tang General Niu Jinda." ”
Niu Jinda nodded and said: "The general's demeanor is heartbreaking, but it is a pity that the two armies are fighting for their own masters." ”
Salhaha laughed, "What you say is reasonable. But a manly man, why bother to behave. Isn't it better to fight with a knife and a gun than to drink and have fun? ”
Niu Jinda nodded and said, "Okay!" I am in tune with me. Life and death are fateful, and dying on the battlefield is really a man's destiny. ”
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "The war drums of the Tang army were like thunder, the army moved forward rapidly, the crossbowmen suppressed the city, and the soldiers began to attack the city with shields and ladders.
Thrall's army of commanders returned fire with rolling logs and arrows. The two armies soon fought together, and the dead and blood soon covered the city and the head of Derg.
Niu Jinda just watched silently, Tang Jun didn't seem to know that he was afraid at all, and they kept attacking Derge one after another.
Thrall also admired the courage of the Tang army, he stood at the head of the city and personally led everyone to fight hard, and soon his body was stained red with blood.
Nie Pudong and Nie Puduo could not hide the shock in their hearts, and they were heartbroken for the courage of the Tang Army; Chi Sang's face turned pale with fright, and he was glad that he had surrendered earlier.
It was fought until noon, the Tang army lost one or two thousand people, Niu Jinda waved his hand, the gong on the battlefield sounded, and the Tang army Hula retreated all of a sudden.
Sal's face was solemn, he didn't think that Tang Jun would give up on this, and carefully observed their next move.
Niu Tong rushed his horse to the city alone and said, "General Sal, you have earned my respect. I shouldn't have persuaded you to surrender, but I still couldn't bear to see you suffer, and finally asked again, are you willing to surrender to Datang. ”
Sal's face was solemn, he didn't think that Niu Tong was really amusing himself; But even if he thinks about it, he doesn't understand why he has such a big confidence to win himself.
"The eldest husband should be shrouded in horse leather, just use what skills you have!"
Niu Tong shook his head and said, "Okay, since General Sal is bent on death, then don't blame me for not being able to win." After saying that, Niu Tong waved his hand violently, and the war drums rumbled behind him; Then two groups of Tang troops appeared on the hills on both sides.
"What do they want to do? Where there is still some distance from the city, the bow and arrow here is also the end of the strong crossbow; If you hit it too far with a stone, you can't hit it, and if you use a stone, it's not as powerful as a bow and arrow. Sal wanted to break his head, and he didn't know what medicine was bought in Tang Jun's gourd.
Just when Sal was puzzled, he saw from a distance that the Tang soldiers on the mountain were bending their bows and arrows one by one, and someone quickly ignited the things tied to the arrows. Then a black cloud with sparkling sparks descended from the sky.
"Raise your shield, block it!" Thrall didn't know what it was, but instinctively sensed his danger.
"Bang bang bang!" After the rapid sound of rain hitting plantains, Datang's arrows did not cause much damage. However, he didn't wait for the Tubo soldiers to breathe a sigh of relief, "Boom! "Boom!" The sound rang out, and the flesh and blood in Derge City flew sideways, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air.
"Put!" The Tang troops on the three heads on both sides did not stop, and then fired arrows that would explode. The city of Derge had long been in chaos, and the Tibetan warriors had lost their composure, scattering like chickens that had blown up their nests.
Sal's face was also pale, and he seemed to have been drained of all his strength at once, and there was no way to react. When he recovered from the horror, the scene was already in chaos, and he couldn't clean it up anymore.
Nie Pudong, the Nie Puduo brothers, and Chi Sang were so frightened that their souls flew away. At first, I heard that Tang Jun had the ability to fly. Nie Pudong and Chi Sang still didn't believe it, thinking that Nie Puduo was lying and exaggerating; Seeing that they can control the thunder today, it is not impossible to have the power to fly.
Niu Jinda saw that the enemy was already in chaos, he waved his hand, and the Tang army under his command swarmed up, and easily entered Derge City. Then they opened the gates of the city and herded the cattle into the city, and the army entered the city.
Most of the Tibetan soldiers were frightened, and as soon as they saw the Tang army coming in, they lay on the ground and kowtowed and surrendered, and only a small number of them were still fighting hard with Sal.
Niu Tong immediately stepped forward and shook the steel fork in his hand and said, "Everyone dodge, let me meet him!" ”
