Chapter 378: Bloody Battle of the Moon Clan
readx; He Yansi didn't expect that the other party was going to guard the grain depot, and he was happy to fall from the sky for a while, his task was to find the big grain depot in Tocharo, he was worried that he had nowhere to find it, but it came to the door by itself, He Yansi restrained the excitement in his heart, and said with a casual smile: "Xinde is full of big granaries, I don't know which one my brother went to?" ”
Su Ma Luo did not doubt the identity of He Yansi at all, he never thought that the Tang Dynasty would be eyeing Xinde, it is no wonder that the Han people have never come to Xinde in history, even if the Tang Dynasty made Wang Xuance wash Tianzhu in blood, he only borrowed the army of Nepal and Tubo, as for Xinde, he did not even come to Tang Seng to learn scriptures, it is undoubtedly an incredible thing to make a middle and lower-level officer like Su Ma Luo believe that the Tang Dynasty is going to invade Xinde.

"Brother is right, Sindh is full of granaries, but those are only small granaries, and the real big granaries are in Shabro, where the accumulated grain can feed all Sindhi people for two years."
"You mean the mob will ransack the granary?"
"It should be, those are the taxes they paid, and since the Arabs don't keep their promises, of course they have to take them back, so the governor will send troops to defend the grain depot."
At this time, a beautiful porcelain cup appeared in He Yansi's hand like magic, and he handed it to Su Malo and said with a smile: "This is also rewarded by the king, give it to you!" ”
Su Manluo's eyes were round, his hand was like a fire, and he quickly took the porcelain cup from He Yanji, and his eyes showed a greedy look, "O my Allah!" It's almost the same as jade. ”
He was so excited that he smiled, this porcelain cup can be exchanged for at least three cows in the city, and now he can marry a beautiful wife again, since he has given favors, He Yansi unceremoniously put forward his request, "Brother Su Maluo, we are too few in number, and we are afraid of being hurt by the mob, so I will follow you!" ”
"Huh! There is no problem with this, there is grain in the granary, which can feed you, so my brother will follow me! ”
At this moment, he completely forgot that He Yansi's mission was to deliver a letter to the governor, and he waved his slender arm like a crane's leg, "Everyone hurry up and go to the grain depot for dinner." ”
An army mixed with the scouts of the Don army marched towards the west of Shabro.
...... After half a month's march, the main force of the Tang army's central line finally walked out of the inaccessible Wakhan Valley, while the 5,000 Tang troops on the eastern front led by Feng Changqing parted ways with them ten days ago and rushed to Lianyunbao, preparing to cross the Tangju Ridge to Xiaobolu.
At this moment, the main force of the middle line led by Li Qing'an is located in the territory of the Protector Country, and there are still twenty miles away from the capital of the Protector Country, there are still twenty miles away from the capital of the Protector Country, and the army has set up camp tents on the north bank of the Penchi River, which is the upper reaches of the Wuhu River, where the mountains are high and deep, the drop is steep, the river is rushing between the mountains, and a huge roar can be heard dozens of miles away, crossing the deep stream, only to go to the Sega Trial City, there is a huge rattan bridge in the west of the city, which can allow the army to cross the Chi Jet River and continue to advance south.
Li Qing'an sat on a big rock and looked at the mountains in the distance, looking at the mountain stream and the river rushing, the mist was filled, soaking his whole body, he was immersed in the memories of the past, this familiar feeling made him think of the Xiaobolu Battle six years ago, that arduous march, the will tempered to him is still affecting him, so that he still thinks that the march is the starting point of his life, six years later, he has become the supreme commander of Anxi, and has become a enough to shake the political situation of the Tang Dynasty, can even shake the whole world of characters, this feeling of stepping up from the mountains to the top of the mountain made him feel infinitely emotional, from a humble archer to the king of Tang Zhao, the first prince of the Tang Dynasty who commanded an army of 200,000 people, it only took seven years, is this because he is a future person to cross? Not exactly, at least he Li Qingan thinks so, the memory of his previous life has become farther and farther away in his mind, and the identity of the crossing is getting weaker and weaker in him, he can't link his achievements with the crossing, not the crossing, but a kind of ability, an ability to grasp the opportunity, it is this superhuman ability that is the secret of his success step by step, he can't teach anyone, maybe the archery training after another can help him seize the fleeting opportunity.
At this time, there was a sound of hurried horses' hooves in the distance, and a team of more than 100 people was riding horses to this side, and the one who rushed to the front was Zhao Chongjie, the envoy who was sent to Sega Shencheng to contact the soldiers and horses of Wuyun Castle, Li Qing'an stood up, this should be the arrival of the King of Secrets.
In a moment, the cavalry team rushed closer, and an old man walked out of the team, about fifty years old, with a thin body, he walked quickly to Li Qing'an's side and knelt down, "Slave Protector King Zhentan knocks on His Royal Highness General Zhao Wang!" ”
This is the first time that Li Qing'an has been called His Royal Highness, this unfamiliar title, this title that makes him a little ashamed, its first time it was actually said from the mouth of a small monarch in the Hindu Kush Mountains, which made the smile on Li Qing'an's face have a momentary stagnation, but this trace of stagnation only flashed, and he still helped up the Protector King with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, we haven't seen each other for many years." ”
Protector Wang Zhentan also participated in the year of the small Bolu battle, he led 2,000 troops to fight with the Tang Army, lost more than half of the attack on Lianyunbao, when another small country to know the king of the country lost Jiayan unfortunately died during the attack, after the battle, Li Longji on meritorious deeds, crowned him as the general of Zuojin Wuwei with the member, rewarded 30,000 horses of silk, Li Qing'an also saw him that year, because of his younger brother Jialan Wang, Zhentan also specially apologized to Li Qing'an, time passed six years, the scout captain of the year actually became the king of Anxi, This made Zhentan also emotional.
"Your Highness, the Protector State is willing to provide all assistance to the Tang Army, and we have decided to send 3,000 troops to assist the Tang Army in its southern expedition, but I am already old, so I can only let my son serve as a general for me."
After speaking, he waved his hand back, and a man in his thirties quickly ran forward, knelt down to Li Qing'an and saluted: "Protecting the secret prince, see His Royal Highness the King of Zhao!" ”
"Excellent! Very good! ”
Li Qingan felt the sincerity of their father and son, and said to the two of them: "You have made me feel the sincerity of protecting the secret country, I will treat those countries that sincerely help the Tang army, and you will be compensated twice as much for your efforts for the Tang army." ”
"It is our duty to serve the Tang Dynasty, we dare not ask His Royal Highness for compensation, the conditions here are difficult, it is not suitable to camp, please follow us into the city of Sejia Shen and station, let us do the friendship of the landlord."
"Alright! Since the secret protection is so sincere, then I might as well be respectful and obey. ”
Li Qing'an immediately ordered left and right: "Order the army to set up camp and go to Saiga Trial City to station. ”
As soon as Li Qing'an gave the order, the Tang army set off in a mighty way, and they will temporarily stay in the city of Segashen to wait for the battle report of Tocharo.
....... In fact, he was divided into three battlefields, the Tocharian battlefield on the western front, the Sindhian and Punjab battlefields on the central front and the Tianzhu battlefield on the eastern front. Since the end of the Battle of Talas, he began to plan, has been preparing for three whole years, to take Tocharo, the Great Food forces to the west of the Amu Darya, so that Broken Leaf and Anxi no longer have to worry about the future, this battle Li Qing'an has been waiting for three years, in order to ensure the success of this campaign, Li Qing'an did not dare to have a trace of carelessness, although he handed over the power of the lord to Li Guangbi, but he did not dare to let go completely, his own middle route army stayed in the Protector State, which is an extremely delicate position, to the south can directly kill Sindh and Punjab, At the same time, a posture of copying Tocharian from the south was formed, Li Qing'an was observing, if Li Guangbi's attack on Tocharian was unfavorable, he would directly attack from the south, and before the Tocharian battle situation was not clear, Li Qing'an did not dare to march to Sindh immediately, otherwise once the Tang army lost in Tocharo, Da Shi was likely to block his way back to the north, so that his middle route army would face a catastrophe.
Just when Li Qing'an was guarding the secret to observe the Battle of Tocharo, the Battle of Tocharian had already begun.
The 30,000 Tang army bypassed the Boxi Mountain, like a sharp sword straight into Tochar, and the first battle started in the liberation of the Soviet Union.
After the fall of the Western Turks, the Tang Dynasty set up the Tianma Governor's Mansion here in the third year of Longshuo, and its capital is Dali Bo Sucheng, from the legal theory of the Tang Dynasty, it belongs to a fetter state of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, this country has long been conquered by the Great Food, Tianbao eight years, Gao Xianzhi expedition to Tocharo, and returned with a fiasco.
Today, the iron hooves of the Tang Dynasty once again appeared on this vast land, and the 30,000 Anxi Tang Army appeared on the horizon, the remnant sun was like blood, the yellow sand was long, and the murderous spirit was soaring.
The Tang army slowly stopped its position, Li Guangbi looked coldly at the distant city of Dali Bofu, it had been three days since his army entered the territory of the Xie Su State, but so far, no one from the Xie Su State had come to contact him.
"Send another letter, if I don't see the king of Su prostrate in front of me within an hour, the city will be destroyed and people will die."
....... Above the city, thousands of soldiers of the liberation of the Soviet Union looked at the huge Tang army several miles away, and someone kept blowing the horn, they seemed panicked, the king of the liberation of the Soviet Union, Smith's face was pale, looking at the murderous Tang army, his eyes showed a look of horror, he was already in chaos, and he didn't know what to do.
From his original intention, he really wanted to surrender, but after Gao Xianzhi bloodied Tocharian four years ago, the Yue Clan countries issued an alliance agreement under the leadership of Da Shi, and no country was allowed to surrender to the Tang Dynasty without authorization, and it must coordinate its actions, otherwise it will be the public enemy of Tocharian and will be severely punished.
This alliance agreement was obviously unfair to the state of Xie Su, which was located in the northernmost part of Tocharo, and if the Tang Dynasty attacked from the north, the state of Xie Su would undoubtedly bear the brunt, and it also raised its own grievances, but its dissatisfaction had no effect, and it was soon drowned in the pressure of the Tocharian states and the wrath of the Great Food Empire.
However, the worry unfortunately became a fact, and the Tang Dynasty really came from the north and came to the city.
A Don cavalry galloped forward, flew past the edge of the city, and an arrow hit the head of the city, and the arrow was carrying a letter, and a soldier picked up the letter and ran quickly towards the king.
Smith opened the letter with trembling hands, and there was only one sentence in the letter, "Surrender within one hour, or else set foot on the city of Dali Bosu." ”
Smith sighed and dropped the letter, he couldn't help but look to the south anxiously, as early as when the Tang army had just entered the territory of the liberation of the Soviet Union, he sent people to the city of Achu for help, the current Tocharian coalition army is stationed there, but three days have passed, and there is no news from the city of Achu.
"Father, what should we do?" Prince Su asked worriedly.
"I don't know."
Smith sighed, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said to his son: "You go to Ashu City immediately and tell Qu Zhaomu that the Tang Dynasty army is pressing the border, and he has not come to rescue the troops for a long time, and the state of Xie Su can no longer be saved." ”
"Father, do you want to resist?"
"You don't care about this, you go, go! Walk from the south of the city. ”
Smith shouted loudly, Prince Su Xuan had no choice but to stomp his feet and turn away, Smith looked at his son walking away, then turned around sharply and shouted to the soldiers: "Four years ago, the Tang army was brutal, killed my young and old, and humiliated my wife, and today the Tang army is coming again, we should fight to the death and never surrender!" ”
The sound of trumpets at the head of the city was continuous, which was a signal to the Tang army, declaring to the Tang army that they would not surrender.
Four miles away, Li Guangbi had already heard the sound of the horn of the battle, his pupils gradually contracted, and the murderous machine burst out, and he ordered word by word: "Assemble the trebuchet immediately." ”
The three hundred craftsmen who accompanied the army began to act, they unloaded the huge trebuchet parts from the camel baggage team, and began to assemble them on the spot, Li Qing'an and the Gesar Khanate negotiated and bought 10,000 camels, which played a huge role in this southern expedition, they were heavy and good at long-distance travel, so that the Tang army's logistics grain and grass and all kinds of heavy baggage could travel with the army, bringing great convenience to the Tang army, and in less than half an hour, the skilled craftsmen assembled twenty huge trebuchets, which can throw a hundred pounds of boulders, and the strength was strong, A single stone can destroy a tower, and each trebuchet requires 200 wrestlers to pull their hair, like twenty giants standing under the city.
Moreover, the Anxi Weapons Department has also developed a powerful fire oil thunder, that is, a huge cotton ball soaked in fire oil, weighing 50 catties, which is mainly used to attack the city gate.
At this time, a soldier ran towards Li Guangbi and reported loudly: "General Li, the trebuchet is ready!" ”
Li Guangbi turned his head to look to the west, the sun had already set the horizon, and the sky was dyed with a layer of purple red, revealing the sad atmosphere of the end of the curtain.
"Start attacking!"
Li Guangbi gave the order to attack, he looked at the city wall that was also dyed purple, and muttered: "I have already given you a chance, since you refuse to accept it, then don't blame me for using the Xie Su country to sacrifice the sword." ”
'Boom! Boom! Boom! ’
The sound of the huge drums sounded, and each beat of the drum smashed into the hearts of the soldiers in the city, making them tremble and tremble, and they held bows and arrows in their hands, and their strength was thin, and they stared blankly at the twenty huge monster-like giants under the city, and the hearts of each of them were filled with despair.
The drumming stopped, and there was silence between heaven and earth, and suddenly, dozens of huge black shadows soared into the air, drawing dozens of arcs, flying through the air, and making a piercing whistling sound.
"Ahh
There was a desperate cry from the top of the city, 'Boom! Rumble! 'There was a continuous loud noise, the city was dusty, the smoke was blowing in the face, the walls of the Tocharian countries were mostly made of mud and masonry, the walls were generally not high, and under the impact of the boulders weighing more than 100 catties, the walls collapsed in large areas, 'Bang! With a loud bang, a boulder hit the battlements above King Smith's head, the battlements were smashed to pieces, the gravel flew wildly, the boulder was still alive, swept over, more than a dozen guards were smashed into meat sauce on the spot, flesh and blood flew sideways, the soldiers on the city cried out, the first round of attacks killed and wounded more than 300 people, a city tower was hit by two boulders at the same time, collapsed, and more than a dozen soldiers were buried in the collapsed mud and rock.
Immediately after the second round of boulder attack launched again, twenty pieces of more than 100 catties of boulders rotated in the air, carrying the power of destroying the world, straight to the city wall, and it was a huge and dull impact sound, a section of the city wall finally could not withstand the continuous impact of the boulder, there were terrible cracks, crumbling, at this moment, another grinding plate of large stones flew in the air, was hitting the crack, the city wall collapsed, like the skin that was torn apart, was pulled off more than 20 zhang at once, and the mud and sand filled in the city wall interlayer poured down, The slope of an upper town is formed.
Smith's eyes reddened in frustration and he shouted, "Build a wall with sandbags!" Fast! ”
Thousands of soldiers rushed to the gap with sandbags on their backs, desperately throwing sandbags into the gap, trying to rebuild a city wall, in the distance, the Tang army still stood still, they lined up neatly, the military looked indifferent, and looked coldly at the busyness of the city, they didn't care at all, in their opinion, this city was vulnerable." One, two, three, put! ”
Two hundred Tang Army wrestlers exerted their strength at the same time, and their long pole arms were thrown up, letting out "Woo! "There was a sound of wind on the ground, and a huge fireball rose into the air, followed by two, three, and four.... A total of ten flaming fireballs, whistling towards the city gate, the continuous impact made the city gate shake violently, but the huge fireballs were not bounced away, they stuck to the gate like thin mud, the fire oil flowed all over the city gate, the whole city gate began to burn wildly, the red flame soared, the fire was monstrous, and the smoke filled the inside and outside of the city gate.
Night had fallen, the sky was covered with bright stars, it should have been a wonderful night, the young man played the pleasant sound of the harp, and the beautiful girl danced to the sound of the piano, but this wonderful scene no longer existed, the clouds of war hung over the city of Dali Bosu, and the god of calamity descended little by little.
The screams and cries of terror rang out in the city, and the gates burned, the blazing light of the fire piercing everyone's eyes.
The city gate is wooden, wrapped in iron sheets, the fire has burned through several large holes, each big hole is spitting terrible tongues of fire, so that the fire in the city seems so powerless, the fireballs that are constantly thrown make the fire more and more intense, half an hour later, finally the gate is burned into a charcoal frame, even the iron sheet has been melted, at this time, a boulder flies sideways, "Bang! With a loud bang, the boulder smashed the last charcoal frame to pieces, and the gates of the city were completely opened.
When the moment of despair finally came, Smith knelt down in the starlight and looked up to the sky in mourning, "O Allah! Have pity on your child! ”
Li Guangbi slowly pulled out his sword, pointed at Dali Bo Su City, and shouted: "Kill into the city, all the resisters will be killed, men, women and children will be driven out of the city, and the property in the city will be seized by Ren Er!" ”
"Kill!" The 30,000 Tang troops burst out into shouts that rushed to the sky, and they brandished their swords, overwhelming the sky like a rushing tsunami, and swept towards the city of Dali Bosu.
