Chapter 618: Killing the head

The first wave of the Jiannan Army's offensive ended in failure. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 The soldiers climbed the stone slope with a giant rattan shield, and the enemy's ordinary arrows and rockets were perfectly blocked by the rattan shield, just when Song Jiangong, Li Mige, Luo Feng and others were overjoyed, thinking that they were about to break through the stone slope, the huge logs and rocks rolling down above were like a scoop of cold water, and Song Jiangong and the others were drenched in the heart.

The rolling wood and stones caused a lot of damage, and the huge impact force turned the soldiers with rattan shields on their backs, and although the soldiers desperately resisted the shields, trying to fight it with manpower, where could they resist the boulders and heavy logs that rushed down the steep slope hundreds of paces away. The vine shield could not withstand the impact, and was torn apart by the impact. The soldiers behind rolled down even more.

Just like dominoes, when the soldiers in front rolled down, the soldiers and horses in the rear couldn't resist either, and they became rolling gourds one by one. Song Jiangong hurriedly ordered a retreat, and the Jiannan army behind him turned around and escaped, and a mixed mudslide of human boulders and logs rolled down on the stone slope, and the blood flowed into a river under the stone slope, and it was a mess.

Everyone was dumbfounded, and they actually missed the plan that the enemy army could use rolling wood and stones. This approach is clearly extremely effective and lethal in such terrain. The nearly 4,000 Jiannan army and Nanzhao barbarian soldiers who rushed up on the slope suffered most of the casualties. Some of them were stoned to death and injured, and the other part was dumped by their own people who rolled down, and even buried and trampled.

Ge Luofeng was distressed, most of the dead and wounded were his barbarians, because they held shields to cover the Jiannan army and rushed up, and the boulders rolled down, and they were also the first to bear the brunt. Five thousand barbarians were killed and injured one or two thousand at once, how could Ge Luofeng not scold in pain.

Even more depressed were Song Jiangong, Li Mi and others, the marshal only asked them to attack this stone slope, but now this stone slope has become their nightmare. If the Tibetan soldiers and horses used such tactics, they would never want to attack it for the rest of their lives, and they would be stoned to death as much as they went.

"General Li, what do you think we should do now? It seems that with the vine shield, you can't attack it. Song Jiangong frowned.

Li Mi's white eyebrows furrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "If you can't attack it, you have to attack, the marshal has already started in the city, if we don't attack, we will give the Tubo people a chance to breathe." Dashuai, they are busy working in vain, and if their whereabouts are exposed for a while, they will be arrested by the whole city, and then something will happen. ā€

Song Jiangong said: "But, how can this be attacked? The Tubo people use rolling wood and stones to resist the enemy, and if we attack upward, we are looking for death. ā€

Before Li Mi could speak, Liu Jun, who had a calm face on the side, spoke: "Does General Song mean that you want to give up?" Didn't you hear General Li's words? This is related to the safety of the handsome. ā€

Song Jiangong frowned and said, "General Liu, what do you mean by this?" I didn't say no-attack, you are talking like this, do you want people to think that I, Song Jiangong, ignore the handsome? Dashuai is your father-in-law, I understand your feelings, but my admiration for Dashuai is no less than yours, how could I do that. ā€

Liu Jun said in a deep voice: "I didn't mean that. Time is of the essence, and perhaps they are already waiting for us to attack and open the gates. Let's still talk about the question of whether to attack or not, doesn't General Song think it shouldn't be? ā€

Song Jiangong was angry in his heart, this Liu Jun was suspected of committing a crime when he spoke, if other people said such things, Song Jiangong would probably have been served by military law a long time ago, but Liu Jun is Wang Yuan's righteous son, and his identity is also very special, Song Jiangong can't do anything about him for a while.

Li Mi hurriedly said: "The little general should be impatient, this attack is really not a way, you must have to think of a countermeasure." Otherwise, the casualties will be too great. ā€

Liu Jun raised his head and said, "What can you do?" How many rolling rocks can the Tibetans have? Can they move the mountain down? After a few attacks, their rolling wood and stones will run out, and then we can rush up? ā€

Everyone shook their heads slightly when they heard this, Liu Jun didn't care about the casualties of the soldiers, but he just used up the rolling wood and stones of the Tubo people. It's a bit too brutal. Fortunately, these words came out of the mouth of Liu Jun, a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, if other generals said this, I am afraid that the scolded dog would be bloody.

However, Li Mi fell into deep thought when he heard this, and suddenly he shouted: "General Song, General Liu Xiao's words might as well give it a try." ā€

Song Jiangong and the other dozen or so generals all looked at Li Mi in surprise, but listened to Li Mi and said slowly: "What General Liu Xiao said is true, the rolling wood and stones of the Tubo people must be limited, and there will always be a time when they will run out." ā€

Song Jiangong sneered: "Does the old general mean to fight with the lives of his brothers? Preparing to die tens of thousands of brothers? You said. ā€

Li Mi shook his head and said, "Listen to me." You and I all know that the number of rolling wood and stones is limited, we have all led troops to fight, although we also prepare these heavy objects, but the manpower is limited, it is impossible to pile up into a mountain, and it is used endlessly, right? ā€

Song Jiangong said: "Yes, so what? As long as there are three or four rounds available, tens of thousands of our soldiers and horses will die. ā€

Li Mi smiled: "But why should we attack with all our might? Let's choose five or six hundred people to attack with a rattan shield on their heads, do you say they will lose the wooden rolling stones? ā€

Song Jiangong was stunned and said, "What does the old general mean?" ā€

Li Mi said with a smile: "This stone slope is built so smoothly, and the hidden castle is layer after layer, although it is difficult for us to attack it, but in fact, it is difficult for the Tubo people to support on the slope." We only send a few hundred people to attack upwards, and if they don't throw rolling wood and stones, we will take advantage of the momentum to attack the first layer of the bunker, and then occupy those bunkers. The Tibetans above could only stare dryly, but they couldn't support. ā€

"But what if they still use rolling wood and stones to smash them down?" Song Jiangong frowned and asked.

"My General Song, how confused are you. It's best for them to throw it, we only use a few hundred soldiers to attack, how many casualties can we inflict? After a few times, won't they run out of rolling wood? We can choose some nimble soldiers, and maybe we can survive a lot. Li Mi stroked his beard and smiled.

General Song was stunned for a moment, and suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I'm so stupid, this method is wonderful, it's not good if they don't use it, and it's not good to use it." If not, we will attack layer by layer, occupying all of their Dark Fortress Arrow Towers, so that the soldiers above them can only retreat back into the city, unable to stand. If you use it, you will consume a lot. If you throw less, you can hide, and if you throw more, you can kill and injure hundreds of people at most. ā€

Li Mi said with a smile: "The old man was inspired by General Liu's words. General Song, don't look at General Liu Xiaoxiao, but his brain is very flexible. ā€

Song Jiangong glanced at Liu Jun, only nodded and said, "Very good." Then he turned around and arranged for men.

This time, only 500 men attacked, like a death squad. The soldiers knew that it was bad luck to participate in such a charge. But there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and Song Jiangong promised a heavy promise, which is nothing more than a set of promotion rewards. Although some people spare their lives, more people join the army in order to get ahead and glorify their ancestors, and there are not a few people who take the initiative to ask to participate. Song Jiangong organized them into five teams, each with 500 people, and rushed up in five times.

The first batch of death squads were ready, and they didn't need to wear any armor, only bows and arrows and blades, and they could be as light as they could, so that they could dodge and jump as flexibly as possible when the rolling wood and stone attacked. Song Jiangong gave an order, the war drums sounded, and five hundred soldiers attacked again with thirty rattan shields.

Climbed to the slope of nearly 300 steps, entered the bow and arrow range of the first dark fort, the archers in the dark fort shot arrows desperately, and at the same time, the Tubo soldiers above also saw that the Tang army rushed up again without fear of death. The Tibetan soldiers who were responsible for pushing down the rolling wood and stones indiscriminately pushed the rocks and rolling logs down from the mountain beams. Suddenly, the rocks were rolling, and the five hundred death squads threw down the rattan shields and ran down, and the rolling wood and stones behind chased their butts. When they reached the bottom of the hill, half of the lucky ones escaped with their lives, and all the rest were crushed by the earth, rock, and rolling wood, and their bones were broken.

Then the second wave of death squads rushed upwards again, rushed halfway through, and were again smashed down by rolling logs and stones, and three or four hundred people died. After three times, even the Tibetans felt that things were a little strange, but they had not yet discovered the tricks of the Tang army, and they were so immersed in the pleasure of crushing the Tang army again and again that they completely forgot that their rolling wood and stones had changed from two small hills to two small piles.

At the head of the city, Alajiang listened to the report of the general with the crow's voice above his head, and his ears were calloused.

"The Don Army is attacking......"

"The Tang army was smashed down......"

"The Tang Army is attacking again......"

"Tang Jun has been smashed down again......"

"The Don Army is attacking again......"

"The Tang army has been smashed back again......"

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

The monotonous and boring shouts of this guy made the soldiers in the city who could not see the battle below the hillside very bored. There are not even words to describe it, and it is such a monotonous report over and over again. Alajiang secretly decided that after defending the city this time, he would transfer this guy to fight the shift. Anyway, he will only say a few words, and it is more appropriate to play.

"The Tang army is attacking again......" the crow's voice cried again from the top of the tower. But this time it seemed that the tone of his voice had changed, and his voice was a little different from the previous words: "The Tang army has captured the first layer of the hidden fortress, and the Tang army is attacking the second layer of the hidden fortress." ā€

"What? Don't you have to roll wood and stone to drop it? Alajiang yelled.

"Report to the marshal, the rolling wood and stones have been used with chimes, and the brothers are moving stones from the hillside, but I'm afraid it's too late. Oops, the second layer of the dark fort was occupied by the Tang army, and the Tang army was only two hundred steps away from attacking. ā€

"Huh?" Alajiang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that the Tang army's previous attack and defeat was to consume the rolling wood, but it was too late to understand at this moment. Now to dig up stones and cut down trees on the hillside, isn't it as ridiculous as if the city of Luo was on fire, but to carry a bucket of water from Zhaling Lake to save it?

"Come, give the order to go down, throw the building and prepare, prepare the crossbow, prepare the bow and arrows. The Tang army may be able to attack the mountain beam, but they will have no return. Alajiang shouted in a deep voice.

Suddenly ten thousand bows on the city wall were drawn together, the bowstrings creaked and made a squeaking sound, and countless black stone arrows were aimed at the direction of the hillside below the city. At the same time, the bed crossbows on the head of the city and the throwing towers on the inside of the city walls also aimed at the open space in the east of the city. As soon as the Tang army emerged, they were greeted by a stormy attack.

Alajiang sighed, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the battle of his soldiers and horses. The Tang army can't be attacked, absolutely can't be attacked, he can guarantee it with his head.

His eyes were fixed on the upper edge of the stone slope, he could hear shouts of killing getting closer, and he was engrossed in the order to attack, but he didn't notice the figure of a thin soldier quietly approaching him.

A cold light flashed on the castle tower, and a head flew into the air.

Alajiang didn't even feel the slightest pain, the moment his head flew into the sky, his eyes could still see. He saw the figure of Tang Jun rushing up the mountain beam, and subconsciously moved his mouth. It's just a pity that his brain can't command his mouth, and his broken neck can't make a sound. His fat body collapsed on the tower, and hot blood splattered everywhere.
