Chapter 372: The Attack and Defense of Fu Qi City (5
In the night, the fire at the head of the city soared into the sky, and the figures jumped, and it could be seen that the city was undergoing unusual changes. Xiahou Haoyue and Wang Bo were both turning the same thought in their hearts at this time, this was a good opportunity.
So the two glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, and said, "Let's go, go to the city gate to see the situation, and then talk." ”
So the two rode forward, and the team behind immediately followed and marched towards Fuqi City. As a defeated army, if you change to another army, I am afraid that it will already be chaotic and collapsed at this moment.
However, as an elite unit that started in Weizhou, in today's situation, most of the soldiers of these two brigades are very calm and follow the army master to continue to advance.
Xiahou Haoyue rode his horse and galloped, and when he arrived at the gate of Fuqi City, he saw the abnormality of the city head because someone was fighting for the city gate at the city head. Since there are people fighting for the city gate at this time, it must be in their favor. Without further ado, Xiahou Haoyue immediately ordered his subordinates to watch the situation.
The drawbridge of Fu Qi City had been lowered during the night attack of Xin Lihe, and although the city gate was closed, the Tiger Wing Army, which had gunpowder, paid no attention to this city gate.
So Xiahou Haoyue ordered his subordinates to hurry to the city gate to cast a gunpowder bag, this gunpowder bag is Li Bao's famous work, and it was this gunpowder bag that killed Yang Gongqing that year. Later, Weizhou used a large number of artillery and crockpot grenades, and the gunpowder bag was almost useless, but the production and discharge of gunpowder bags was the specialty of the Weizhou army.
It has been hundreds of years since the city was built, and there are many debts for the renovation of the entire city, especially the black wooden gate that I don't know how long it has been used.
It took nearly two quarters of an hour for the soldiers of the Tiger Wings to finally lay out the powder bag, and then they used the black fire/powder to lay a long lead, and when they were at a safe distance, they took out the prepared large shield to protect their bodies, and they immediately lit the lead with torches.
The black gunpowder ignited when it met the fire, and the fiercely burning fuse made a "sizzling" sound, and rushed to the large pile of gunpowder, which detonated the pile of black fire/powder packets in an instant.
"Boom!"
The shocking explosion was like the newborn thunder in the world, which shook the ears of the people around Fu Qi City, and the Tuyuhun people who fought under the gate of Fu Qi City immediately suffered a great disaster.
The explosion was like a cannonball, and for a moment there were no living people in the entire city gate, and after the black smoke cleared, half of the gates of the entire city were no longer visible.
The battle at the head of the city also came to a standstill due to the explosion at the city gate, and the Tiger Wing Army guarding outside the city immediately rushed into the city.
There was no resistance at all, and both sides of the melee under the city were already stupid, and this way of entering the city was too shocking. However, the Tiger Wing Army did not have time to distinguish who the enemy was at this time, and after they entered the city, they shouted loudly under the leadership of Xiahou Haoyue and Wang Bo: "Surrender and avoid death, resist and die!" ”
With the impact of the Tiger Wing Army, the resistance under the gate of Fuqi City immediately disappeared, and the battle at the head of the city began again, after Xiahou Haoyue entered the city, he immediately ordered the soldiers to control the Tuyuhun people who had surrendered, and the stubborn ones immediately used grenades to kill.
At the same time, he ordered people to immediately find materials to fill the city gate that had just been blown up, and Xin Lihe outside the city was wreaking havoc in the Tiger Wing Army camp, and now that the remnants of his own army had broken through the city, they had to be prevented from turning back to attack.
After the arrangements were completed, Wang Bo led his men to the city tower. Wang Bo's sergeants were also the elite of the army, and when they arrived at the city, they immediately set up a formation, and then took out grenades and threw a few at the crowded places first.
The rumbling explosion immediately suppressed the two sides of the battle at the head of the city, and took advantage of the gap between the two sides to stop fighting, Wang Bo immediately said loudly: "A certain is Wang Bo, the commander of the Weizhou Huya Army of the Northwest Metropolitan Mansion of the Tang Dynasty, where do you belong to?" Sign up quickly, otherwise Hugh blames a certain mannade for having no eyes. ”
As soon as Wang Bo's words fell, a voice immediately shouted: "Wang Jun's envoy must not do anything, a certain is his own person, a certain is the banner captain of Jin Luanwei in Fu Qi City, this is a certain token." ”
The person who spoke was dressed as a Tuyuhun person, he was dressed luxuriously, he was about forty years old, and he looked like a nobleman of the Tuyuhun people, but since he said that he was from Jinluan Weizhong, Wang Bo was still a little relieved at this moment.
The Tiger Wing Army is in a hurry, and now there are heavy losses in the camp under the city, if they can take the capital of the Tuyuhun people, they may be able to receive less punishment if they can offset the merits.
So Wang Bo's personal guards immediately went to the Tuyuhun man to take the token, and personally took it over to Wang Bo for inspection. Under the firelight, Wang Bo took the token and looked at it carefully.
The token is made of iron, and it is cold to the touch. The front of the token is a pattern of a sword and shield, and the following small words: loyalty and secrecy on the back is the order of the captain of the Datang Jinluanwei banner, and there is Li Bao's signature on it, and the last token has the age of casting: the thirteenth year of Xiantong of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Bao's signature is a special label for anti-counterfeiting in this era. Because no one can think of this, in addition, in Li Bao's signature, the word 'Li' is deliberately omitted, and the word 'Bao' is omitted from the bottom.
Because the signature is handwritten, if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all, just because Li Bao came up with this idea to prevent counterfeiting, and the foundry craftsmen of the first village have gray hair.
Now that Wang Bo confirmed that this was the real thing, he immediately smiled and said to the Tuyuhun person: "I don't know what to call it, please make it clear, now everyone is under the old man of King Qin, so I should thank you first." ”
Wang Bo's words are a bit against his will, as a high-level military officer, a military operation such as attacking Ambush City, you, as a high-level of Jin Luanwei, actually didn't try to notify a certain level of defense, and now you are leading people to fight for the city gate, is there any dirty thoughts in this, or is someone doing a ghost in it?
Wang Bo thinks so, it is human nature, he works for the King of Qin, and he should work together to create great results, but you think about your independence and sit back and watch your allies suffer, isn't this a conspiracy?
After listening to Wang Bo's words, the man immediately said loudly: "Where is the Wang army's envoy, tonight the thief chief Xin Li went out of the city to attack a certain person at night, and was also kept in the dark, and waited until the thunder outside the city sounded, and a certain person got the news, so as to immediately gather the people and horses to fight for the city gate, so as to make up for the negligence of a certain person, and ask the king army to make Haihan where he couldn't do it." ”
When Wang Bo heard this, although he was not angry in his heart, he had to take care of the overall situation in front of him, so he put this matter down first and continued: "I don't know what Brother Tai is called, and it is the right thing to solve this hard-working party first. ”
When the Tuyuhun man heard Wang Bo say this, he immediately laughed and said: "What the envoy Wang said is right, it is Derian, and it is confused, but these thieves are now at a disadvantage, and the envoy Wang is watching from the wall, and a certain person will deal with them." ”
After listening to what the noble man said, the Tuyuhun people on the other side cursed him in the Tubo language, but at this moment, the disparity in strength between the two sides was huge, and they had nothing to do. Whether to surrender or stubbornly resist and die, the besieged Tuyuhun people are already in the battle between heaven and man.
However, time was pressing, and Wang Bo couldn't wait, he continued: "Brother Derian, the military situation is in full swing at the moment, don't bother your army, come on." After speaking, Wang Bo waved his hand, and his sergeant Zhuge Divine Crossbow and grenade came out together.
Before the besieged Tuyuhun people could struggle, they died one after another. After the defenders at the head of the city were killed and shot, Wang Bo immediately commanded his men to occupy the city. Clear the city to prevent further attacks from outside the city.
Derian watched Wang Bo make such a quick move, and his heart was slightly shocked, these Weizhou people are too ruthless. He originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to earn Fu Qi City and then go to the Qin King Li Bao to ask for credit, but this time he completely miscalculated.
This little bit of his mind was seen through by the other party, and they killed those hard-working diehards so quickly, which was completely revealing their strength and shocking themselves.
These Tang people are really not easy to mess with, thinking that they bet on both sides for the sake of insurance, and when the Khan of Lilong was alive, he secretly contacted Weizhou Jin Luanwei. Xin Lihe stood on Xin Lihe's side, and he was not enough for Ouyang Qingshuang's mother and son at all.
Of course, his explanation to Jin Luanwei's boss was to spy on Xin Lihe's military situation, and now that the Tiger Wing Army suddenly came, his receiver received Xin Lihe's plan to go out of the city for a night attack, but he pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't report it, and after Xin Lihe left the city, he immediately brought people to fight for the city gate.
But his abacus didn't start at all, and he didn't expect that these Weizhou people could still lead their men to fight for the city gate when the camp was almost completely destroyed.
What kind of army is this Weizhou Tiger Wing Army?
Derian didn't have time to think too much, he was invited to Xiahou Haoyue's where, as the coach of this western expedition, Xiahou Haoyue was still too young, and Derian was also a little surprised by Xiahou Haoyue's youth.
He muttered in his heart: No wonder this Tiger Wing Army will lose, it is all because the coach is too young, on the other hand, this Wang Bo is more suitable to be the coach.
This Xiahou military envoy must have a good relationship with His Royal Highness the King of Qin, otherwise he would not have been entrusted with such an important task.
However, he still smiled at Xiahou Haoyue, and then he continued to explain his reasons to Xiahou Haoyue.
However, Xiahou Haoyue didn't care about him, he said in a rough voice: "Bastard, your power will never be small in this Fuqi City, you actually said that you don't know, coax Lao Tzu, right?" Come on, pull this bastard down and cut it down. ”
The soldiers of the Tiger Wings came as soon as they received the order, and the iron arms generally held Derion to death, and then they were about to pull him away. Derian was frightened at this moment, and he immediately pouted and cried: "Xiahou military envoys spare their lives, a certain wronged, a certain really didn't know that they were going to attack at night, if they knew, they would not dare to sit back and watch the defeat of the army even if they gave a hundred guts." ”
Seeing this, Derion's men immediately drew their swords, but the Tiger Wings and the Tiger Tooth were battle-hardened soldiers, and they immediately drew their swords to fight.
The atmosphere became tense for a while, and Wang Bo immediately said when he saw this: "Slow, Xiahou Jun has also made a lot of meritorious contributions to Derian this time, and we were able to take the city this time because of Derian, this time regardless of merit or demerits, it is for His Royal Highness the King of Qin, why don't we put aside our selfish grievances and complete the major events in front of us first, how about it?" ”
Wang Bo's words are also to persuade Xiahou Haoyue, Derian is very hateful, but it's not the time to kill him, besides, we belong to two systems, if we kill him at this time, where should I say it in the future?
The leader of Jin Luanwei is the king's close slave, Hu Sanbao, although Xiahou Haoyue has a bad relationship with him, but at this time, he killed his subordinates without saying anything, and I am afraid that it will not be easy to explain to Hu Sanbao at that time.
The unfinished meaning of Wang Bo's words, Xiahou Haoyue can also think that although he is rude, but as he gets older over the years, his mind and strategy have also increased a lot, and as the commander of the Weizhou Tiger Wing Army, if he can't figure out this trick, then how can he be worthy of being the commander of the first army?
So Xiahou Haoyue looked at Derian with a frightened face and said: "Okay, spare you first, don't think that you don't dare to kill you, even if your head town Hu Sanbao is here, he also has to sell a certain three points of face, don't say that you are a little big flag captain, even if the general flag captain arrives here, he will kill him." ”
Hearing this, Deli was shocked for a while, this Xiahou Haoyue is so hard, the chief town caress Hu Sanbao and his old man is the childhood playmate of His Royal Highness King Qin, but this Xiahou Haoyue said that Hu Zongzhen also has to sell him face, how is this good?
It was because of the distraught Derian who immediately wept bitterly in front of Xiahou Haoyue, and deeply reviewed his mistakes, for fear that the Xiahou military envoy would be unhappy and tell Hu Zongzhen where he would write a letter, and then the future of his Derian as a banner captain would basically be playing.
He realized the power of the Weizhou people early on, and he also knew that these Weizhou people would dominate the Tang Dynasty sooner or later, and he couldn't do other things well in his life, but in this matter, he believed very much in his own vision of things.
Xiahou Haoyue was very annoyed when he heard Derian crying like this, and he immediately said angrily to Derian: "Don't howl your dog, hurry up and tell someone everything about the situation in this city, and then arrange for people to control all parts of the city, and immediately lead troops to exterminate all the forces in the city that are close to Derion." ”
Xiahou Haoyue did this, it is the most important thing at the moment, they are now a lonely remnant, there are no less than 50,000 people in the city, and no less than 50% of them are attached to Xin Lihe, so in order to be able to gain a foothold in the city, he must first strike strong.
Only the use of thunder means can suppress those who have evil intentions, and this task is more suitable for Derian, he is a Tuyuhun person, only if he starts to win the trust of Xiahou Haoyue and Wang Bo, this is his name. If Derian didn't obey Xiahou Haoyue, he would have an excuse to kill him, and no one would say anything about Xiahou Haoyue's approach at that time.
Thinking of this, Derian immediately nodded yes, and he said to Xiahou Haoyue and Wang Bo: "The two military envoys can rest assured, they will do it now, and this time it is just to show the two military envoys the determination of a certain heart to His Royal Highness the King of Qin." ”
"Well, you have this heart, a certain and Xiahou military envoys will show your actions tonight to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, if you have bad intentions, His Royal Highness will break out in thunder and anger at that time, and then thousands of troops and horses will sweep the cave and break your body into thousands of pieces."
Hearing Wang Bo say this, Derian immediately felt apprehension, and after he saluted the two again, he took people away directly, and Wang Bo immediately sent a team of personal guards to follow Derian to be the overseer, but nominally to assist Delian.
Derion immediately welcomed him, and did not forget to express his closeness to the Huya Army who went with him.
After Derian went, Xiahou Haoyue immediately put his mind on holding the city gate and defending the city, and they didn't know what was going on with the situation in the camp outside the city. However, before entering the city, Xiahou Haoyue ordered Yang Bufan, the head of the guards around him, to stay outside the city, and wait until the situation in the camp outside the city stopped, and then gather the remnants of the army before making plans.
By the time the remnants of the Tiger Wing Army had almost filled the city gate, Xin Lihe outside the city had already discovered the anomaly of Fu Qi City, but he and his men were also stubbornly resisted by the Tiger Wing Army sergeants in the Tiger Wing Army camp, and they had the upper hand, but they could not get out smoothly.
One side desperately fought back and the other side wanted to get out as soon as possible, but they had no choice but to fight desperately with the Tiger Wing Army. Especially the deafening explosion, which made Xin Lihe even more frightened, what happened to Fu Qi City?
The anxious Xin Lihe fought desperately for a long time, and finally got rid of the Tiger Wing Army that was chasing after him, and pulled out more than 2,000 of his subordinates and immediately rushed to the head of Fuqi City.
When I came to the head of the city, I saw that the drawbridge at the head of the city had been closed. The remorse in Xin Lihe's heart is incomparable, he lost Fu Qi City, and his own Khan of Tuguhun is a joke.
Since the city was set up as a royal city by the Tuyuhun people, there has not been a khan who has left the city, only a hundred years ago after the Khan of the Tuyuhun people was exterminated by the Tubo people, the Tuyuhun people began to exist as a vassal of the Tubo people.
However, after the sudden rise of the Khan of Yanlilong, with the help of the people of Weizhou, the Tuyuhun people were revitalized, but the city of Fuyu was lost, will the people of Tuyuhun still recognize themselves as khans, and what should they do without the city of Fuqi?
Who provoked the civil strife, his two younger brothers, Zahan, Xinlong, or Daxiang Derion?
Xin Lihe thought about it, and excluded the two of Zahan Xinlong, they were both very cowardly people, and they rarely argued with themselves, and now the only one in this city who has the ability to provoke civil strife is the old fox of Derian.
Looking at the two thousand guards behind him, Xin Lihe was full of bitterness, now he can neither attack the city, nor can he think about it, and Ouyang Mingde of the Ouyang family in Liangzhou is still in the city, without his introduction, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious to go to Liangzhou.
Xin Lihe had a lot of thoughts, and finally had to make up his mind to go to his own place to rest in the Dawang Mountain of the sunset grass first, and after he glanced at Fu Qicheng affectionately, he whistled to his subordinates behind him, and galloped away in the direction of the northwest.
At the head of the city at night, Xiahou Haoyue watched the distant Xin Li Hebu gradually move away, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Wang Bo looked at Xiahou Haoyue from the side, he couldn't help but feel some sympathy for this young general, this defeat was only afraid that he would be a cold bench for a long time, although the king was very fond of their old brothers, but this defeat was really the biggest fiasco since Weizhou became an army.
The king's anger and the outside world's impression of the invincibility of Weizhou have been broken, so the feudal towns in the Tang Dynasty are afraid that they will be even more ferocious in the face of the Weizhou army that has stepped down from the altar.
Thinking of this, Wang Bo couldn't help but sigh......
