Chapter 583: Soldiers Descend on the City
readx;
Su Nan was still unlucky after all, and when he was about to step into the edge of Xiying, a feather arrow sank into his back and fell off his horse with regret. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The Tibetan soldiers in the western camp had already noticed that something had happened and were investigating the situation, but before they had time to line up for defense, the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing had already arrived.
Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw a man fall from his horse with an arrow. The torches at the entrance of the camp were burning, and Su Nandangzheng's face was clearly visible in the firelight.
The Lord is going to die!
This was another huge blow to the already chaotic Tibetan army. The already bad situation is now leaderless, and the situation is becoming more and more chaotic. Seeing the death of the main general, the psychological impact is not small, and after the panic, there is fear, and the Tubo soldiers suddenly lost their hearts and fled in all directions, how to resist?
It's just that in the face of the surging slashing of the Song army's iron cavalry, they couldn't escape, most of them instantly became dead souls under the sword, and only a few escaped.
At dawn, Lin Zhao rushed to the Shrine Valley.
The two camps had been razed to the ground, and smoke was still rising from the ashes, not yet fully burned out.
"General, the enemy army has been almost completely annihilated, and only a very few have escaped!" The seed master saw the boss and came to report the results. This time, because of the formal occasion, the title of Lin Zhao naturally changed slightly.
"Well done!" Quickly cut through the mess, it is already good for the Niche Valley to have such a harvest, Lin Zhao nodded in approval. As the Seed Master Dao grows older, he is already able to take charge on his own. Such a talent, cultivated as soon as possible, is a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty and for himself.
"...... those who fled?" Seed Master Dao was slightly worried, after all, he did not annihilate all the Tubo army.
Lin Zhao shook his head and said, "Don't worry. It's just a few of them. In the middle of nowhere. Walk back to Qingtang City on two legs? Even if one or two cavalry escaped, what could they do? Vast snow? Without food and forage, there is little chance of survival. ”
"But ......" Lin Zhao changed his words and said, "For the sake of prudence, immediately attack, go straight to Qingtang City, and rush to the city before they send the news back." The Tibetan people were caught off guard. ”
"Yes!" The Seed Master Dao immediately gave the order, and the army was immediately ready to set off. Using the sled, there is a certain advantage in speed, and I believe it can be done.
"What to do with the Niche Valley? Do you need someone to guard it? ”
"The terrain of the Niche Valley is for Hehuang to guard against the enemy from the east, and there is no defensive value to speak of to the west...... Lin Zhao glanced at the nearby terrain and said: "What's more, our vanguard is going to Qingtang City, this place has been included in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, why do you need a large army to guard against it?" Leave a thousand people to clean up the battlefield and ensure the smooth flow of supplies. ”
"Yes!" The planter immediately agreed. Then he immediately marched west with his men and horses.
In the vast snowfield, thousands of sleds are moving fast. There were two horses in front of each sleigh, and the delivery was much faster. In the first battle of the Shrine Valley, thousands of horses were captured, which just made up for the lack of war horses of the Song army.
With horses and sleds, snow, which was supposed to be the biggest obstacle, became the easiest and fastest way to get it. There is little friction on the thick snow, the speed is naturally fast, and the sled area is large, and the transportation volume is also large. Transporting soldiers is still a trifle, the main thing is grain and grass and some ordnance.
Deep into the river, it is a cold winter, and what I am most afraid of is grain, grass and logistical supplies. With the sled, a fast transportation channel can be set up between Qinzhou, Hezhou and Qingtang City.
As for the cold weather, it was no longer an enemy of the Song Dynasty. You don't need to wear leather clothes, you just need cotton clothes on board. In recent years, cotton cultivation led by the Meng family has been carried out in many places in the Great Song Dynasty.
In Xining five years ago, due to drought, grain crops could not be planted. However, cotton is drought tolerant, and the Meng family promoted planting in the Jianghuai area, and then exchanged grain for cotton, saving many people, accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, but also produced a lot of cotton. When Lin Zhao went to the northwest, he asked the firm to sew cotton clothes and then transport them to the northwest.
In winter, it happened to be an artifact for the soldiers of the Song army to keep out the cold. Hardiness was no longer the preserve of the Tubo people wrapped in animal skins, so that the Song army could calmly fight in the cold winter and maintain its combat effectiveness.
These are all things that the Tibetan people did not expect!
In fact, whether it is Ali Gu or Lin Qibi, or even Dong Yu and the sober-minded Qingyi Ghost Chapter, they all ignore a problem, that is, they despise Song Jun too much.
Of course, this is mostly due to stereotyped thinking. The weather in winter is very cold, and the road is inconvenient, so it is difficult to carry out a large-scale labor expedition. They identified this in time, believing that it was impossible for the Song army to attack Qingtang City in a short period of time, so they did not have a strong sense of crisis in their attitude.
Qingyi knotted the ghost chapter only because it would be risky to go to the Niche Valley, but he didn't think that the Song army would attack Qingtang City in a short time. If this is really possible, then it should be after the beginning of spring.
Stereotyped thinking kills people!
The Tubo people obviously thought wrong, the Song army came, and it came earlier and faster than expected!
After coming to the Niche Valley, there are tribes or towns of the Tubo people along the way, but they are all far away. These towns were defenseless, and they didn't expect the Song army to suddenly appear in the hinterland of Hehuang, so they bore the brunt of the sneak attack.
One tribe was attacked, another tribe was attacked......
The speed of the Song army was very fast, and when a tribe was attacked, they were eager to convey the news of the Song army's attack to the neighboring tribes, and then hand it over to Qingtang City. However, their speed was always not as fast as that of the Song Dynasty, so the warning signal was completely in vain and could not be transmitted at all.
In this way, the Song army rushed directly into the bottom of the valley along a straight line. In the mountains and forests beyond the valley floor, there are still many Tubo people and Qiang tribes, but Lin Zhao didn't pay attention to them, now is not the time to care about them, as long as Qingtang City is taken, the effect will be better.
The Seed Master Dao led the forward of the Song army so fast that the supply lines behind him were almost unable to keep up. Fortunately, along the way, the plundered were all large Tibetan tribes, raising a lot of cattle and sheep, and the material reserves were relatively rich. It just supplemented the needs of the Song army, so as to in fact form the effect of nourishing the war with war.
In this way, when the Tubo people were defenseless, the Song army came directly to the Qingtang City. Fortunately, Qingyi is careful with the ghost chapter. The perimeter is more cautious. Otherwise, it is really possible to be directly attacked by the Song army in Qingtang City.
The Song Army's forward was discovered dozens of miles away from Qingtang City! failed to take Qingtang City by surprise. But the deterrent effect is quite huge.
Qingyi Jiegui Zhang immediately mobilized a large army to block the Song army, and the flames of war ignited very close to Qingtang City.
Standing on the top of the mountain, you can already vaguely see the majestic city walls of Qingtang City, the ruling center of Hehuang, take him, and almost master most of this rich river valley.
Lin Zhao sighed lightly: "It's still that city, but after a while, the identity is different." The mood is completely different. Time has passed, and the saying that things are not people is not good is not good. ”
"yes!" The seed master nodded and said: "But it's a pity, after all, I couldn't directly come to the city!" ”
"Be content, we have driven straight into it in the shortest time, and it has gone well, what else can we do? Is it possible that the other party does not have the slightest ability to resist and is defeated by me without much effort? Lin Zhao smiled and shook his head, sharing the satisfaction of people with the Seed Master.
Then he said in a deep voice: "Actually, this is not necessarily a bad thing, sometimes it is not necessarily the best to come to the city." Once we have surrounded Qingtang City, then the Tubo people have only one choice. It's going to fight with us, even if we take the city. The price paid is also very miserable, and the gains outweigh the losses!
Although there are no soldiers in the city now, the corresponding deterrent effect has been reached, and it is increasing unabated, and people in Qingtang City will still be panicked. However, before the siege, they have a choice, it will be difficult to unite their minds, and their situation will be even more difficult, which will be of great benefit to our siege. ”
"Wonderful, go to the army and plot! Brother Dongyang, this is a heart-attacking technique! The planter laughed, he was a pioneer in this battle, and the journey was very smooth. This battle was really comfortable and smooth.
"Where, that's the case, this is the same as the siege of the teacher, but I simply don't surround it, so that the people inside feel the pressure and jump out to make room by themselves, which is naturally the best." Lin Zhao smiled, there was nothing to be proud of The battle of Hehuang had gone well so far, and if it was finally successfully completed, then the day when he would return to Bianjing in another capacity would be getting closer and closer.
Turning his gaze back to Qingtang City, I'm afraid there is already some chaos in the city, right?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Song army suddenly approached Qingtang City, and the news came that the Tubo Dynasty was like a major earthquake, and everyone was shocked that the six gods were lost.
Especially Ali Gu and Lin Qibi, the two of them were so ashen that they both decided that the Song army would not take the initiative to come in. Or even want to find an opportunity to bite back and explain the final result?
The Song army had already approached the city, and they only got the news. What's going on? Danger quickly spread throughout the city, and Tibet was facing a huge crisis, which could be said to be an existential crisis.
Dong Yu calmed down and asked, "Where is Song Junbingfeng?" Is there resistance? ”
"Thirty miles east of Qingtang City, there is already a large army going to intercept it, but it may not be able to stop it!" Qingyi knotted the ghost chapter in his heart, and he felt very uncomfortable. Obviously, this is Lin Zhao's handiwork. I always felt that he had bad intentions, but he was lucky and miscalculated the time of Song Jun's action, so that it caused such a tragedy.
"How so? Didn't Song Jun obviously want peace talks? Why the sudden attack? Lin Qibi was very annoyed, and then asked loudly: "Ali Gu, you say, what the hell is going on?" ”
"What's going on? It's obviously Song Jun's treachery! As the initial guiding medium of the peace talks, Ali Gu did not feel good in his heart. Although the eyebrows have been burned outside, there are still some responsibilities that must be abandoned.
"Didn't Su Nan Dangzheng guard the Shrine Valley? How could it be so easy for the Song army to break through the defense line and appear in Qingtang City this time? Can you give a reasonable explanation? Lin was more aggressive, but in his heart he suspected that Ali Gu was colluding with the Song people. Of course, it's more about splashing dirty water.
Qingyi Jie Ghost Chapter shook his head slightly, Niche Valley? Song Jun's appearance here means that the Niche Valley has long been wiped out. As for the 10,000 defenders, they should be and will always ......
"And the face said? What is the banner of the Song Army? Say that we are treacherous in Tibet? Ali Gu said coldly: "Song Jun has a mouth, do you know what it is?" It was because Sanji Tsering chased and killed the Song army, but he was discovered by others, and he was beaten to the ground...... It's true that my brother is the commander, but who poked out the basket? Poor Su Nan Dangzheng is still young, but there is no news so far, life and death are uncertain, what should I say? Whose fault is it exactly? ”
Ali Gu asked a series of rhetorical questions, and Lin Qibi was suddenly choked and had nothing to say. This seems to be the case. Things are far more complicated than I thought, and the decision to attack the Song army was really too hasty! Lin Qibi regretted it, but there is no regret medicine sold in the world. Because of his willful and rash actions, he caused such terrible consequences.
For a while, Ali Gu seemed to have the upper hand, and seeing that Lin was silent, he was very aggressive.
Dong Yu really can't stand it, it doesn't matter whose mistake it is, the Song army has already come to the city, it is the time when we need to unite as one, the two brothers still want you to be true and me, chattering endlessly!
"Enough!" Dong Yu said a word and immediately calmed the scene. He really can't stand it, and this situation must be managed.
"Lin Kui is better than you to take it upon yourself to let Sanji Tsering sneak attack the Song army? Are you stupid? How could such a thing happen? Dong Yu scolded twice, and after a while, he said: "The Song army has the intention of attacking Hehuang, and has no intention of negotiating peace with us at all. All they need to send troops is an excuse, an excuse to deceive themselves, and even if Sanji Tsering doesn't go, they will concoct a suitable excuse. ”
So now, no one is to blame. What is going on between Sunan Dangzheng and Sanji Tsering? Investigate later! The top priority was to integrate the forces and defend against the Song army's attack.
"Ghost Chapter, how's it going? Qingtang City's defense is still ......" Dong Yu felt that the person who could be relied on the most now was an outsider
"The Song army's forward is already thirty miles away, and it will soon be able to reach Qingtang City. As for the defense of the city, it is solid at the moment. It's just that whether it can resist the attack of the Song army and how long it can hold on, this is not completely certain! ”
Qingyi said that he was not sure, Qingtang City was completely in a violent fear, and the entire Qingtang City could be said to be in danger.
As for the countermeasures, the reactions of the Tibetan courtiers were varied.
Seeing this, one of them hurriedly said, "Zampu, if we really can't stand it, why don't we retreat to Lijing City?" ”
