Chapter 347: Non-Sichuan Grass (5)

There was no immediate siege, the soldiers cut down a lot of wood, set up a large camp, and raised the towers. After all this, it was getting dark, and hundreds of soldiers in the city were out hunting, and they were terrified to see this from afar.

I don't know how many Tang Dynasty people came here, but how many troops are in the city. Originally, 3,000 soldiers were stationed, and another 1,000 were sent to Qinghai, leaving only 2,000 troops. Not to mention, at least four or five hundred people went out hunting and were not in the city. If the city is repaired, it can still be defended, but now the shortest part of the city wall is only one and a half people high, and a ladder will be used to attack it, how to defend it?

Immediately go to Hongji Bridge and move the rescue troops with the Dushan Army.

The Dushan army did not agree, and there was a newly built camel bridge behind the Qushui army, and there were 2,000 soldiers left behind Zanpo to garrison it. However, the Dushan army only had 800 soldiers, but the city was a little steeper. I can't defend it myself, how can I divide my troops?

But reinforcements were sent from the Hongji Bridge.

It is obvious that the Tang Dynasty sent troops to Wansu City and Hongji Bridge, and it may not really attack, but in order to prevent accidents, in addition to the 15,000 soldiers left in Wansu City, Hongji Bridge, and Baigu, 15,000 soldiers were reinforced, and 5,000 Tuguhun soldiers were stationed on the west side of Hongji Bridge. Hearing this news, the guards in the city also wondered how the Tang Dynasty army could reach the Great Momen area. But the defenders in the city were Tuyuhun's general, Yifu Lou Bo, and the Qushui army was all Tubo soldiers, and they didn't dare to lose. I also thought that the Tang Dynasty army had not yet attacked Wansu City, even if it attacked Wansu City, it would not be able to threaten Hongji Bridge for the time being, so I sent 5,000 soldiers west of the bridge. I didn't dare to go from the east of the river, and followed the difficult road west of the river and went straight to the camel bridge.

It was getting dark, and Li Wei looked at Qi Bi Ming and said, "General Qi Bi, the victory or defeat of this battle is counting on you." ”

"Your Highness, the minister must live up to the trust."

Looking at his departing back, Li Wei sighed and said, "Jiangmen Huzi." ”

Qi Ming was trembling, happy.

With six thousand people in high spirits, with the cover of night, he quietly left the camp, and also left with a large number of rafts from the tents. This is the goal of Li Wei's camp, and only when he sets up camp can he set up a tent and quietly set up a raft in the tent. However, I don't know how many reinforcements Tubo will send from the direction of Hongji Bridge, and I still sweat in my heart. So deliberately when Qi Biming left, he praised it to stimulate the old general's ambition.

Gradually, a group of people disappeared into the darkness, and Li Wei said: "Attack! ”

When the horn sounded, there was no need to steal the city, and the Tubo on the city were very careful and patrolled with torches.

The army rushed into the city and assembled the trebuchet, the city had not yet been repaired, everything was hastily created, and there were only a few conspicuous targets, which were observed through the towers during the day. The city was still small, unobstructed by walls, and most of the targets were within trebuchet range. More than a dozen gunpowder packets were thrown out, and there was a roar, and there was a scream from the city.

"Cast again!" Li Wei shouted, and more than a dozen black shadows sparked and streaked across the night sky. There were no more cannons, so I had to use this crude method. But the lethality is still there, and another miserable cry is heard.

Only then did Li Wei say: "The shield hand stepped forward, the archers followed, and the others prepared siege equipment and immediately attacked the city." ”

Five or six hundred Tang Dynasty troops in front of them held shields, arrows flew down on the head of the city, and some soldiers were also hit by arrows and fell, but the phalanx was still not chaotic, slowly approaching the city wall, the crossbowmen pulled out the arrows in the back, opened the crossbow, Li Wei shouted: "Release!" ”

The main reason is that the city walls are too short and have lost the advantage of more than half of the city walls. This rain of arrows flew out, and nearly 100 Tibetan soldiers fell from the city. The density of soldiers on the defence was immediately sparse. Li Wei shouted again: "Attack!" ”

The archers flashed to the side, and the soldiers behind set up the wooden ladder and fought for a while. I don't know that the Tang Dynasty has already divided half of its troops out, thinking that more than 10,000 people are still staying here. Seeing that there were Tang Dynasty soldiers going up to the city one after another, as soon as they turned around, they began to flee with their legs, and fled to the west of the river with the help of the camel bridge.

The soldiers methodically opened the city gates, and Li Wei said: "Take the heads, all get on the horses, and pursue." ”

After combing through the city, he also fought out of the camel bridge with the deserters.

Later, Ge Shuhan was brave and invincible, cutting off people's heads with a big blade in front, and a servant in the back specially used a hook to help him pick up the head. But not only this, there are special uses.

……

When Li Wei attacked the Qushui army, Qi Ming had already begun to cross the river. This section of the Yellow River is very steep, but there are party members who are familiar with the terrain, find a section of the river where the water is relatively gentle, and quietly cross the Yellow River. Then he stuffed the horse with a horse chew in his mouth and came to an ambush on a hill.

After a while, Tuyuhun's five thousand soldiers arrived in a hurry.

Looking at the number of people, Qi Ming was also overjoyed, when he arrived here, he had gone deep into the depths of Tuyuhun, and even if there were scouts, he could not find accurate information. I was also afraid that if there were 20,000 or 30,000 people who couldn't eat one bite, these 6,000 people would be able to be wrapped in dumplings.

But turning his head and glancing at the direction of Qu Shuijun, the reason why it went so smoothly was due to the prince's. If it weren't for this step-by-step deployment of troops, so that Ronzanpo would have focused on the north, the forces here would not have been so empty. Although the plan was discussed and formulated together, the prince came up with it.

The sound of horses' hooves was faintly approaching, and in the distance a torch cut through the night and spread down the hills.

After a while, Tuyuhun's army arrived at the mountain road at the foot of the mountain, and he really didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty army would ambush here, so Li Jinxing made a cut gesture to the guards. The guard put the horn to his mouth and blew it.

With the sound of the horn, countless arrows flew out of the mountains and forests on both sides. One by one, the Tuyuhun people fell with arrows. Qi Ming shouted: "Attack." ”

The armies on both sides rode out of the jungle and pounced. However, this time it was a little uncomfortable, and the leader of the team was Yi Fu Lou Bo's younger brother Yi Fu Binggen, who was also a tiger general. The army is very strict, and I am also very brave. It is precisely because of this that Ronzanpo took a fancy to him and left him at Hongji Bridge to take care of him.

Immediately riding on his horse and shouting: "Don't panic, there are not many enemies. ”

After shouting, he commanded his subordinates and hurriedly responded to the battle. This move could not save the defeat, but it made Tuyuhun's army slightly stable, and the two armies fought in a melee on the narrow mountain road.

But after a while, Li Wei led the team to kill him.

I couldn't rest assured in my heart, and I chased after it about the ground, so that at least half of the Tubo people escaped, and there was no love for fighting, so I immediately turned north and came to the aid of Qi Ming. When his army arrived, the Tuyuhun soldiers were finally frightened, and they fled one by one.

"Kill!" Qi Ming shouted angrily.

In the battle just now, although he killed a lot of Tuyuhun people, he also lost hundreds of soldiers.

covered all the way and chased all the way to the Hongji Bridge.

……

Just as Li Wei pounced on Qu Shuijun, Li Jinxing's army also moved. The eighty-mile road, although not as easy to walk as the road in the Central Plains, is eighty miles in the end. An army of 30,000 swooped down on Wanxiu City. But the defenders of Wansu City are not very worried, Wansu City and Hongji Town are both very old cities. There was already a perfect city wall, which was a battle, and if it was not a battle, the Tuyuhun people did not attach much importance to the city. Now, due to the needs of the war, the city wall was repaired.

There were many soldiers, and it was very difficult to repair, but the old walls were quickly repaired. With the tall city wall to hold onto, at least in the eyes of the Tuyuhun people, this city wall is very tall. Moreover, there are many soldiers, and there are 30,000 troops in this area, and the army of Baigu New City is not easy to mobilize, but it can mobilize troops from Hongji, and it can transfer reinforcements from Shudun City, Chihai and other places in the rear. If they want to capture Wansu City, the Tang Dynasty people are delusional.

Sure enough, there was no way, Li Jinxing, like Li Wei, came to Wansu City and began to set up camp. And it was not immediately attacked. However, there were many Tang troops coming, and the Tubo and Tuyuhun people in Wansu City were still a little worried, so they immediately sent the news to Nonzanpo, and asked for help in the direction of Shudun City and Hongji Bridge.

Yi Fu Lou Bo was depressed in his heart, and sent away 5,000 people to help the Qushui Army, and the direction of Wansu City came to ask for help again. I vaguely felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't help it, and sent two thousand soldiers to Wansu City.

But when there were still thirty miles away from Wansu City, suddenly a large army came out of the forest beside the road. This is the cleverness of the whole plan, the first step is to attack the Qushui army and Wansu City, attract the army of Hongji Bridge, and make Hongji Bridge empty. Then he captured the Hongji Bridge and sent a large army from Hexi to stop the reinforcements in the direction of Shudun City. Concentrate the main force and take Wansu City again. After countless bends, it was still Wansu City and Hongji Bridge, and then when it came to attacking, it made countless bends again. Hugh said that it was about Zanpo, that is, on Qinling here, and it may not be so easy to deal with.

After arriving in Wansu City, Li Jinxing let his wife sit in charge, and if he didn't accept it, ten Li Jingxuan talked about marching and fighting, which was not as good as one Mrs. Liu. Then he quietly led 7,000 soldiers to bypass Wansu City from the trail and set up an ambush in this forest.

In fact, there are many loopholes in the whole plan, but it happened in a hurry, and Tuyuhun and the Tubo people did not have a general who could handle it here, so they were like a cow, and they could only be led by the nose.

Not to mention the ambush, it was 7,000 against 2,000, and the 2,000 soldiers in Tibet immediately turned their horses and began to flee. Chase and kill all the way to Hongji Town, which should be Hongji City. Of the 2,000 soldiers who were able to escape to the city, less than 200 of them fled, and half of them were chased and killed by the Tang army.

This time, it was the turn of the Evoro bowl to be dumbfounded. The number of troops from the Tang Dynasty was not large, only 7,000 people, but the soldiers in the city were counted, and there were less than 5,000 people, how to fight? had no choice but to hold on, watching the Tang Dynasty camp arrogantly and leisurely in front of the city, staring dryly.

As the day began to dawn, rescuers were dispatched. I didn't count on the direction of Wansu City, and I didn't count on the direction of Qushui Army, so I had to report to Shudun City as well.

But as soon as the city gate was opened, and the messenger was about to leave the Hongji Bridge, smoke and dust rose in the distance, and they quickly rolled up to this side. With the roll up of this smoke and dust, the Hongji Bridge crisis has really arrived!
