Chapter 619: Harassing the Enemy
The skinny soldier who killed Alajiang was none other than Gongsun Lan. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Half an hour ago, Wang Yuan's grandson Lan Aluo had already climbed the city wall with the soldiers. However, because the Jiannan army had not been able to attack the stone slope for a long time to officially attack the city wall, the three of them hid and waited for an opportunity.
When the Tang army's repeated attacks on Shipo were repulsed, the Tubo soldiers at the head of the city cheered as if they were crazy. After the fourth Jiannan Army was repulsed, Ah Luo couldn't help it, and leaned into Wang Yuan's ear amid the cheers of the Tubo people and whispered, "What are the generals doing?" The failure of this attack must have caused great casualties and hurt morale, so why do you have to rush so hard? Look at the joy of these Tibetans. ”
Wang Yuan had a smile on his face, and while cheering loudly with the Tubo people around him, he said in a low voice: "Don't be impatient, this is Song Jiangong's strategy, and it will make the Tubo people happy." ”
"Strategy? I don't understand. "Aro.
Wang Yuan gestured with his eyes to the pile of rolling wood and stones under the city that was about to be exhausted: "That is Song Jiangong and Li Mi who are feintting to attack the rolling wood and stones that consume the Tubo people, and those are the biggest obstacles to attacking. Don't ask, don't ask for ideas. ”
Ah Luo suddenly realized, and cheered with the Tubo people.
Finally, when the rolling wood and stones were exhausted, Wang Yuan knew that the large-scale attack of the Jiannan Army was coming, he and Gongsun Lan glanced at each other and nodded silently. Gongsun Lan quietly and slowly began to move in the direction of the city tower. Everyone knew that the city lord Alajiang was giving orders from the city tower. Wang Yuan and A Luo took advantage of the opportunity of a small leader next to them shouting for someone to go to the city to carry arrows and go down the city wall.
In the city tower, Alajiang didn't expect that death had come to his side, Gongsun Lan didn't arouse anyone's suspicion, and came behind Alajiang when everyone turned their eyes to the Tang army attacking under the city. With a single easy sword, he cut off the head of Alajiang and killed the main general of the defending soldiers.
Alajiang's body fell, and several generals and a group of guards standing beside him were stunned, only to realize after a moment that the city lord had been assassinated, and suddenly there was a panic shout. More than a dozen people drew their blades and rushed towards Gongsun Lan.
Gongsun Lan actually didn't plan to leave, her purpose was to create chaos in the city, so killing the enemy's main general and leading general was what she had to do. But seeing the sword light in her hand flickering, her figure was like a ghost and launched a massacre on the city wall. Starting from the city tower, killing people along the city walls, chasing those generals and slashing them, and killing ordinary soldiers with their hands. In a matter of moments, she was left with more than eighty corpses in her wake.
The Tubo soldiers shouted in panic, and a general ordered to release arrows at Gongsun Lan, and suddenly the Tubo soldiers on both sides of Gongsun Lan did not care whether it was suitable to fire arrows here, and drew their bows and fired at Gongsun Lan. Gongsun Lan's body jumped over the battlements, and all the arrows shot at her missed. It can't be said that it missed, these arrows actually hit the target, but they became the Tubo soldiers on both sides of the city wall, and each shot dozens of people to the other.
Gongsun Lan was unscathed, and threw herself into the crowd of Tubo soldiers to start a ferocious killing again. Bows and arrows could not be used, so the Tibetan soldiers could only use their bodies to stop her. Dozens of Tibetan soldiers stepped forward to entangle Gongsun Lan without dying, temporarily blocking the power of Gongsun Lan rushing back and forth.
When the city was in chaos, more than 1,000 soldiers of the first wave of the Jiannan Army had already risen on the mountain beam with a huge rattan shield. They calmly approached the city with their shields on their heads, not to attack the city, but to make room for the Jiannan army that was constantly climbing up the stone slope behind.
Although the Tibetan soldiers at the head of the city lost the command of the main general, in the face of such a situation, they also spontaneously began to fire arrows at the city. The Tang army held all kinds of shields, with a huge rattan shield in front of him, a large wooden shield and a round shield on his head, in short, everything used to resist arrows, the Tang army used it all the moments when he climbed the mountain beam. It seems that they have known that they will be greeted by a storm of arrows.
Even if there was no organization, the arrows shot from the city still fell densely on the heads of the Jiannan army. The sound of arrows hitting shields and armor like popping beans sounded, and in just this moment, hundreds of Tang soldiers fell from arrows. Although the Tang army had taken protective measures, there were not many rattan shields, and the large wooden shields could not withstand too much impact, and many shields were broken and shattered by the arrows fired, exposing their owners to the rain of arrows and dying instantly.
Gongsun Lan's sword was like a curtain, and she killed all the dozens of Tubo soldiers who were beating around her, and then she began to kill indiscriminately. She no longer targets the generals, because as long as these Tibetan soldiers start to release arrows, each of them will be a huge threat to the Jiannan army under the city, so every time she kills a Tibetan soldier, she will reduce the pressure on the city and add chaos to the city.
No one could stop Gongsun Lan's killing, and wherever she went, the Tibetan soldiers were holding their heads and running around, and Gongsun Lan was merciless and rushed to kill on the city wall with a sword, struggling to disrupt the defense of the Tubo people. But she alone was not strong enough to disrupt the entire section of the wall. The second round of arrow rain of the Tubo people fell on the heads of the Jiannan army again, causing even greater casualties.
At this moment, someone shouted in terror: "The city gate is on fire, and some fine works have set fire to the city gate." ”
The defenders at the head of the city were in a panic. How much did the Tang army do in the city, setting fires everywhere in the city, and now even the heavily defended city gate dares to come and set fire. Gongsun Lan also took the time to take a look, but saw that the flames under the city gate were billowing black smoke, and a fire was burning. Gongsun Lan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, this was Wang Yuan and A Luo's success.
The fire at the city gate was the masterpiece of Wang Yuan and A Luo, and the two of them walked towards the city gate after leaving the city. Hundreds of soldiers behind the city gate were responsible for guarding the city gate hole. In order to prevent the Tang army from breaking through the city gate, they used dozens of logs to hold the city gate horizontally and vertically, and strengthened it. At the same time, dozens of wooden horses were placed in the hole of the city gate, which was tightly blocked.
How did they know that all these things had become ignitions? Wang Yuan and A Luo first took out the last barrel of fire oil hidden in the corner of the square inside the city gate, and then swaggered towards the city gate with the fire oil. A group of soldiers guarding the gates immediately stopped them, and one of the leaders frowned and asked.
"The gates of the city are heavy, and you are not allowed to come near."
Wang Yuan shouted: "I was ordered by my general to check whether the city gate is firm in case it is broken through by the Tang army, what are you stopping me from doing?" The report was delayed, but you asked. ”
The leader was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously got out of the way, Wang Yuan and A Luo strode towards the city gate. Suddenly, the leader seemed to react, and shouted behind them, "Is your general the general?" The city gate guards are directly under the jurisdiction of the city lord of Alajiang, and if you want to report it, I will report it directly to the city lord, who are you? Also, what's in the barrel that the man next to you is carrying? ”
Wang Yuan didn't answer, and Ah Luo sped up his pace and rushed to the city gate, the leader felt that something was wrong, and shouted: "Stop, stop, if you don't stop, you will release the arrow." ”
Wang Yuan stopped and whispered to Ah Luo: "I'll block them, you go and set fire." ”
A Luo said: "I'll block it, you go." I'm good at archery. ”
Wang Yuan stopped arguing and nodded slightly. The leader had already reached a few feet behind the two men, and his hand was already holding the hilt of his sword, and he shouted, "Who are you?" Explain your identity quickly, otherwise you will be dealt with in detail, and you will be killed. ”
Wang Yuan smiled and turned around and said, "This brother has good eyesight, how do you know that we are meticulous?" You know too much. ”
Wang Yuan's voice fell, and Ah Luo, who was beside him, moved quickly and took the bow in his hand, and in the blink of an eye, an arrow was shot, and the leader was hit by an arrow in the chest, screaming and falling.
Wang Yuan praised in his mouth: "Good archery." But he had already rushed to the entrance of the city gate. Ah Luo in the back stood heroically, the bow and arrows in his hands kept opening and closing, and one after another feathered arrows shot towards the Tubo soldiers who rushed towards the roar, almost killing one with one arrow. The Tibetan soldiers also took bows and arrows and shot at Ah Luo, who hid at the gate of the city after a one-man high wooden horse and calmly dodged. Just like shooting at the enemy in the mountains and forests, when he found an opportunity, he shot an arrow back, and shot more than ten Tibetan soldiers in a row.
At the same time, smoke billowed from the dark city gate, and fires began to rise. Wang Yuan bolted the city gate and logs, and poured fire oil on the huge trees on top of them. In an instant, a raging fire ignited.
Wang Yuan withdrew from the entrance of the city gate, and saw that Ah Luo was hiding behind the rejection of the horse and shooting arrows at the opposite side, and hurriedly shouted: "It's done, let's get out of here quickly, and we will all be scorched in a while." ”
Ah Luo shouted: "I can't go, there are many of them, and they are shooting arrows in this direction." ”
Wang Yuan frowned and said, "If you can't go, you have to leave, staying here is death." Go, I'll protect you. ”
Ah Luo looked back and saw that the fire in the cave of the city gate had burned fiercely, and several wooden horses inside had already been ignited. The tongue of fire rolled over and the heat wave hit people, and it was about to spread to the side after a while, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's rush together." ”
The two rushed out of the city gate desperately, and the Tubo soldiers on the opposite side fired a volley of arrows, Wang Yuan brandished a long sword and hit the arrows, pulling A Luo all the way to the shadows under the city wall.
Ah Luo panted and said, "It's so dangerous." Luckily, they weren't on the right track. ”
Wang Yuan snorted, and his voice trembled a little. Ah Luo felt strange, turned around to look at Wang Yuan, and suddenly screamed, Wang Yuan had a feather arrow stuck in his shoulder and neck, revealing most of the arrow shaft, which was really scary to look at.
Ah Luo was shocked, screaming and at a loss. Wang Yuan gritted his teeth and whispered: "Don't be noisy, I can't die yet, cut off the shaft of the arrow and bandage it for me." My cousin is alone on the wall, and we need to go up and help her as soon as possible. ”
