Wuhai City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After several years of reinforcement, Wuhai City is now an extremely strong city, but due to the alliance between Tubo and the suddenly rebellious Turks, in order to keep the hinterland and not be besieged, the original defenders could only be ordered to evacuate such a fortified city, so that the Tubo soldiers captured this city without much effort.
Fortunately, in order to seize the four towns of Anxi before the Turks, Tubo dispatched most of the troops to the Western Regions, resulting in only 3,000 old and weak people in this city to defend it, as a result, Wang Fangyi arrived here, and used a strategy of arrogance to attract the main force in the city to go out of the city to fight, and an ambush annihilated most of its main force, and the Tubo soldiers in the city had no choice but to go out of the city and surrender, and Wang Fangyi easily captured this military important place.
After that, the main general of the Tubo army, who was responsible for attacking the four towns of Anxi, was shocked when he heard the news, and immediately concentrated the forces of the four towns of Anxi to attack Wuhai City, but he did not expect that before he came to the city, his vanguard force of 3,000 people was ambushed by the Tang army, and 5,000 people scattered and fled, which greatly reduced the morale of the Tubo army.
When he heard the news, he was so angry that his face turned green, and he immediately roared and led his 50,000 troops to advance at a rapid pace, came to Wuhai City, and then bravely attacked the city, ordering that Wuhai City must be conquered within three days.
However, Koji Mangbuzhi did not expect that although he offered a heavy reward, and strictly ordered the general Shike to attack the city, and personally went into battle to supervise the battle, he still did not capture Wuhai City within the time limit, this is mainly because the Tang army's will to resist is too strong, they can definitely be called armed to the teeth, and even if they die, they have to pull a cushion before they die, and when the weapon is gone, they pinch it with their hands, kick it with their feet, bite it with their teeth, and they are really injured too seriously, and they do not hesitate to jump off the city wall with the other party, and die with the enemy.
The three days of tragic offensive and defensive battles brought more than 3,000 casualties to Tibet, and the Tang army soldiers also paid the price of more than 1,000 casualties.
This result made Koji Mangbuzhi furious, so he ordered the army to launch another onslaught, but at this time the soldiers were too tired, coupled with too many injuries before, the morale dropped significantly, and after three days of bloody fighting, nearly 4,000 people were lost, but only hundreds of casualties were caused to the Tang army!
Under such circumstances, although the Koji Mangbuzhi was unwilling, he had no choice but to order the attack to be postponed, and then surprise the city to break through.
So Koji Mang Buzhi used the means of digging tunnels, but he didn't expect that the tunnels were only half dug to be discovered, when his soldiers dug a certain section, they suddenly found that there was a light in front of them, it turned out that the Tang army had already dug through a horizontal ditch, and also sent a lot of soldiers to wait there to wait for the rabbit, as a result, the soldiers who dug the tunnels in Tibet were dragged out one by one by the Tang army with hooks and other things to be killed on the spot.
Later, the Koji Mang Buzhi built a dirt mountain in an attempt to observe the enemy situation of the Tang army, but the Tang army immediately built a higher tower, and then shot arrows from the top of the tower, but occupied a geographical advantage and had a full view of the military situation in Tibet.
Koji Mangbu Zhi couldn't make a plan, and made a plan, so he ordered to set fire to the city, but the Tang army soldiers used a long pole to tie the hook to hook away the fire, and the Tubo soldiers worked in vain for a long time, but they were smoked as black as Kunlun slaves, although their skin was not white.
"It's hateful, Tang Man on the other side is so powerful, he is familiar with every method of attacking the city, and he can easily crack it, this, this is really hateful." Koji Mangbu was so angry that he scolded again and again, but there was nothing he could do at all.
And not long after, something happened that made Koji Mang Buzhi feel even more aggrieved, just one night, the Tang army general Wang Fangyi led the army to rob his camp without warning, killed more than 1,000 people under his command after a rush, and set fire to a lot of grain and grass in the camp, fortunately the large army camp was in time, so that all the grain and grass would not be burned, otherwise, even if he had the ability to reach the sky, he could only obediently retreat.
After that, the Koji Mang Buzhi had to order the army to defend to the death, although it also carried out continuous attacks on Wuhai City, but the number of people besieging the city was only limited to about 10,000 people, although the war continued, but the threat to Wuhai City was nothing, which also meant that Koji Mang Buzhi was forced to change his tactics, he wanted to completely trap the Tang army in Wuhai City through the method of besieging the city, I believe that as long as a few months pass, the Tang army's grain and grass are difficult to support, and when the army is disheartened, they will be able to take the opportunity to win.
This move is not a way, but it is precisely the most method, because after that, Wang Fangyi really has nothing to do with him, so he can only confront him inside and outside the city.
The grain and grass in Wuhai City is less than one day a day, but the grain and grass in the Koji Mang Buzhi can be requisitioned from the four towns of Anxi and the northwestern region of Tubo, which leads to a growing gap between the two sides.
Finally, after half a year of confrontation, the Tang army could no longer bear this kind of attrition, and in the middle of the night, a few scrawny Tang troops came from outside the camp gate of the Lu Mangbuzhi, saying that they were asking to see the chief general of Tubo and that there was a secret military situation to report.
He was overjoyed when he heard the news, and he guessed that it must be that the grain and grass in the Tang army city could not be supported, so these Tang soldiers wanted to surrender to him, so he immediately ordered those Tang soldiers to come in.
After a while, he saw three scrawny Tang soldiers come to the tent, and seeing that they were shaking even walking, it was obvious that they were hungry, so he asked, "I wonder what this gentleman has come to my camp to teach?" ”
I saw that the sergeant in the middle came to the front with difficulty, bowed hard and saluted, and then said in a hoarse voice: "General Qiyu, the villain is the **** of the left guard of the Tang Dynasty, and I came to meet the general on the order of Zhang Qianxuan, the general of the left guard of the Tang Dynasty." ”
"Oh? I wonder what General Zhang's visit to the general is? Koji Mangbuzhi faintly thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but be excited, but on the surface, he was still Gujing Bubo, and asked lightly.
I only heard that **** took out a thing from his sleeve and said to Koji Mangbuzhi: "Don't hide it from the general, I have no food and grass in Wuhai City for a few days, the army's heart is floating, General Zhang can't bear to starve to death under his command, so he sent the last general to visit the general, send a letter of surrender, and agree to dedicate the city at three watches tomorrow night, as long as the general is willing to give a bite to eat, my brothers will work for Tubo from then on." ”
"Hmph, you're lying! It's clearly a deception, isn't it deceiving me? Come on, pull this guy down and behead him, I think who else will deceive again? ”
Koji Mangbu shouted loudly, and then ordered someone to push out the **** and behead him. (To be continued.) )
