Section 543 Toyosu City
Wei Xi circled between Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er in Luoyang, living a happy life. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Another Wei family, Wei Xi's uncle Wei Zhibei, is also very happy.
With the civil service of the Ministry of Rites, the military position of the general, and the governor of Fengzhou, even if he is the honor of the scholar in the imperial court, he has to hold his tail and be a man, and there are at least three classes above him:
The emperor and empress, the emperor's relatives and relatives, and the three products under the same book.
You can't do things casually in Beijing, but if you leave the capital and go to a local place, it's very different.
"Shouting, going out to the place, it is happy!" Wei Zhiqi was physically and mentally happy, whipped his horse, looked at the long queue behind him, and couldn't help shouting: "Children, sing!" ā
"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers look westward, the dragon rolls up and the horse grows and hisses, and the sword aura is like frost! ......" the young lads sang in unison.
10,000 elite cavalry, 5,000 elite infantry and 35,000 miscellaneous soldiers are under his command, there are many men and horses, if it is a man, he will lead the troops, and bring thousands of soldiers and horses to kill!
This era is an era of passion, an era of innocence for murder, haven't you seen Wei Xi so young and in power because he killed a lot of people!
Magistrates from all over the country rushed to greet them, flattered them profusely, and sent out gift packets wildly.
Wei Zhiqi did not refuse to come to the price, accepted all the orders, and communicated with them familiarly, especially when he saw the stunned appearance of some officials who knew him, Wei Zhiqi was overjoyed, and had a feeling of wanting to laugh.
The master of the great etiquette of the Tang Dynasty actually personally led the troops into battle to kill the enemy, and the ancestors who thought that the ancestors of the Tang Dynasty were definitely Hu people, and they liked to sacrifice by such bloody hands.
As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wei Zhiwei is known as the Great Zongbo, and the etiquette is in charge of him, and in the feudal society, the social ceremony is definitely a major event, and it must not be sloppy, among which fasting is an essential process, otherwise it is unlucky.
Thou shalt not stain blood, but sending troops to war and killing thousands of people is not the bloodiness that can be diluted by a mere three-day fast.
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu personally led the troops to fight, and the emperor actually allowed it, the weight of the Tang Dynasty's taste and the strong killing nature can be seen!
Wei was happy to be in it, Wei Xi recommended him, immediately accepted the order, and did not drag the mud and water, and took people to kill people happily.
The military horses advanced, arrived in Deshuozhou, the troops camped, Wei waited for dinner and drank his Longjing tea in the camp tent, when Shi Wanchao, the general under his command, came in, shaking a military information that the army staff officer Sima had just sent and said: "Uncle, the Turks have surrounded Fengzhou, and the scouts say that there are at least 100,000 people!" ā
It was not a formal occasion, Shi Wanchao followed his senior brother Wei Xi to call Wei Zhiqi.
Shi Wanchao's eyes are too high, arrogant and tough, but he still knows how to respect his elders.
"Hmm!" Wei Zhiqi nodded, and took the military situation to see.
"Uncle, why don't you let me lead the troops, now Linghu Xiao is surrounded!" Shi Wanchao brought it up.
It turned out that when Wei waited for the price to raise troops, he was such a seasoned person, and immediately sent Ling Huxiao to rush to Fengzhou with three hundred elite soldiers to control the situation and stabilize the situation.
Shi Wan, who didn't come in handy, was naturally unhappy, he was a murderer like him, and his hands would itch if he didn't fight.
"Virtuous nephew!" Old Uncle Wei called the virtuous nephew very familiarly, and when he saw Wei Xi and his group, he came and said: "Virtuous nephew, you lead three hundred people to Fengzhou, and you are still surrounded, your strength is horse warfare, don't worry, some battles are for you." ā
Shi Wanchao muttered: "I'm just afraid that I won't fight!" ā
ā¦ā¦
In the face of the enemy army outside the city, a large force of cavalry acted like a black cloud, and they were afraid of people, and the soldiers and civilians of Toyosu expressed their emotional stability.
If the Turks had come two hours earlier, it would have been very different, and it was likely that the soldiers and civilians of Fengzhou would have been in a great panic, and the Turks would have been close to victory without fighting.
But now the military and civilians of Toyosu are full of confidence, even a little blind, and some young lads even issue serious provocations against the Turks on the city walls.
"It's great that you're here!" Looking at the enemy outside the city, at the head of the wall, Fengzhou Sima Tangxiu said gratefully.
The person next to him had deep-set eyes, hooked nose, and a somewhat dark vulture, it was Zuo Xiao's cavalry guard general Ling Hu smiled, and said coldly: "Don't thank me, Wei Shangshu has already made arrangements!" ā
Ling Huxiao is a half-hu man, who joined Wei Xi in the middle of the sequence, and was not outstanding in the battle of Tubo because it was unexpectedly smooth, but it does not mean that his killing skills are not good.
He only arrived with 300 elite soldiers, but he gave the soldiers and civilians of Fengzhou a shot in the arm, everyone knows that the court did not give up on them, the eyes of the most capable general in the court are watching them, please send his uncle to come to the rescue, take a step back, he has sent his general to come, and live with the city, at least for the sake of his general, it is expected that he will not give up Fengzhou City easily.
Therefore, the soldiers and civilians of Fengzhou rejoiced, but Linghu Xiao did not dare to slack off, he had already engaged several battles with the Turkic rangers on the way to Fengzhou, and realized that the Turks were very strong, and immediately checked the city defense after arriving in Fengzhou.
"General Linghu, the enemy is coming, please take charge of this command......" Tang Xiu pleaded.
"No, you continue to be responsible for the city defense, and I will fight wherever I see the danger." It was not that Ling Hu smiled and was polite, but Tang Xiu had long been familiar with the situation of the city defenses everywhere and was able to exert his greatest power.
"Good!" Tang Xiu didn't give in, and the two of them looked out of the city, their faces couldn't help but become grim.
ā¦ā¦
The Turks erected more than 30 manual trebuchets on the eastern slope of Toyoju, and the lineup was quite spectacular.
The small slope has a height, which increases the firing distance. The problem is that the nomads have always been poor in siege technology, and there are so many trebuchets!
The enthusiasm among the military and civilians in Fengzhou was still high, and Tang Xiu and some old people knew that this battle was not easy to fight.
Seeing that their faces were gloomy, Ling Hu laughed, and said with a rather cold smile: "Don't be sad, if you want us to die, the Turks will exchange at least three times their lives!" ā
He smirked and said, "Now, it's my turn to kill!" ā
ā¦ā¦
"Bang! Bang! Bang! ā
At four o'clock in the morning, when everyone was asleep, the sound of bombardment was heard one after another.
"Whew! Call! Call! ......" flew through the sky.
Turkic Flying Stone Fire Bomb Attack!
The walls of the city trembled, and the fire bombs exploded on the ground, splattering large fields of flames.
The Turks made trebuchets, but the attack accuracy was not good, few hit the head of the city wall, few people died, and the fire bombs were thrown into the city, but the people of Fengzhou demolished the houses on the side walls of the city wall early and could not burn the city.
Toyoshu Castle also had trebuchets, but as defenders, they would certainly only fight back when the attackers were in force.
Even standing on the city wall, I feel trembling, the Turks are so great!
