readx; In the night, the Tang army held torches, the sky was red with the blazing firelight, tens of thousands of men, women and children were driven out of the city by the Tang soldiers, they stumbled, the cry shook the sky, the women held their children, the old people supported each other, the young men clenched their fists, their eyes were full of despair and resentment, the city of Dali Bosu was already a sea of fire, homes were destroyed, food and property were taken away, and now the god of death was about to embrace them, everyone realized that the Tang army was going to slaughter them. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Guangbi rode on a tall horse, hundreds of knights crowded around him, and he looked coldly at these men, women, and children who had been driven out, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

There is no need for mercy, war has always been the killing of people and the struggle for land, he gave them a chance, but they themselves gave up, then it is time for them to bear the consequences.

A group of cavalry escorted more than a hundred men and women to this side, they were richly dressed, they were all nobles of the Xie Su country, the old man who walked in the front was the king of the Xie Su country, Smith, his eyes were dull, his legs walked forward woodenly, at this moment his heart was full of remorse, he thought that the Tang cavalry came from afar, there was no siege weapon, they could hold out until the reinforcements arrived, but he did not expect him to be defeated so badly, the Tang army smashed open his city gate almost effortlessly, so that he and his people fell into the killing that the Tang army was about to unfold.

"Get on your knees!" Two Tang soldiers pushed him to kneel in front of Li Guangbi, and Smith prostrated in front of Li Guangbi's warhorse, trembling all over, and at this moment, the fear of death made him forget his dignity as king.

"You are Smith, the king of the Soviet Union?" Li Guangbi bent down to look at this trembling old man, he didn't feel the slightest bit of the anger of a monarch of a country, only his cowardice and selfishness.

"The grass people are exactly!"

"Why do you call yourself a grass man, is it a sign of submission to me? Hum! ”

Li Guangbi snorted and sneered, "Do you think that if you give in to me, you can not die?" No! You're alive. ”

Smith slowly raised his head, Li Guangbi's words stung him deeply, he bit his lip and said, "I am willing to die in exchange for the general's forgiveness of my people." ”

"Your people? You don't have the people anymore. ”

Li Guangbi pointed at him with a horsewhip and said, "Listen carefully, what kind of order General Li is ordered by Anxi Jiedu." ”

He straightened up and said to one of the soldiers, "Read it to him!" ”

The soldier unfolded an order from Li Qing'an and read it aloud: "The Tocharian countries, those who surrender to the Tang Dynasty and voluntarily disarm can be forgiven and listed as subjects of the Tang Dynasty, pay taxes, obey labor on schedule, and become the people of the Tang Dynasty; Those who resist the Tang Dynasty soldiers by force will be killed without mercy, and the men and women of the whole country will move to Boxi Mountain as a mine, and their descendants will continue and will not be allowed to change their nationality. ”

"This is my responsibility, it has nothing to do with the people, you can kill me, please forgive them." Smith said in a trembling voice.

"Be content! The general's reluctance to kill women and children and civilians is already extraordinarily gracious, but your sin of resistance cannot be pardoned, otherwise, how can you obey the people? ”

After speaking, Li Guangbi said coldly to the left and right: "Drag him down and hang him!" ”

Several soldiers dragged Smith down, and Li Guangbi urged him to step forward, pointed at the crowd in the darkness that was reflected in the light of the hunting fire, and issued a migration order: "Return the grain to them, put an end to all possibility of resistance, send troops to move them to Boshi Mountain, naturalize Yinzhou, and completely destroy the city of Dali Bofu." ”

．．．．．．． As the sky gradually brightened, the last section of the wall of Dali Bosu City collapsed in the morning light, and tens of thousands of people in the Soviet Union reluctantly looked back at their hometown for the last time, and marched to the distant Boxi Mountain under the escort of the Tang cavalry...... Li Guangbi's eyes were set to the south, he knew that a fierce battle awaited him, and at this moment, his heart became extremely excited, and the ambition in his heart would finally be proved in the conquest of Tochar.

．．．．．． Yue's country, here is the ruling center of the original Kushan Empire, but also the largest country in Tocharo, under the jurisdiction of twenty-five states, the population of nearly one million people, the first year of Longshuo, the Tang Dynasty set up the Yue's capital here, the capital is Ashu City, since the eastward expansion of the big food, the Yue's country was the first to be invaded by the big food, reduced to the subject country of the big food, bearing heavy taxes, after the battle of Tianbao six years of Xiaobolu, the country of the Yue family was deeply shaken, and also wanted to return to the Tang Dynasty, but because of the big food is too deep, the desire to return to the Tang Dynasty can not be realized, Tianbao eight years, Gao Xianzhi took advantage of the aftermath of Xiao Bolu's great victory and launched an offensive against the Tocharian countries, but due to the military intervention of the Great Cannibals, Gao Xianzhi suffered a crushing defeat, and the Tang Dynasty had to withdraw from Tochar.

After four years, the Tang Dynasty attacked Tocharian again, and at this time, the Tocharian kingdoms had also been preparing for four whole years, the five major Tocharian countries such as Yueshi, Wangting, Gaofu, Great Khan, and Gumo each sent 10,000 to 30,000 troops to form a 100,000 Tocharian coalition army, which was commanded by Qu Zhaomu, the king of Yueshi who sent the most troops, and Said, the deputy governor of Khorasan, served as the chief military instructor and was responsible for training this local army.

In the palace of the Yue clan in Ah Shu City, Qu Zhaomu paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back worriedly, he had just gotten the latest information, the state of Xie Su no longer existed, the Tang army destroyed the city of Dali Bo Su, nearly 50,000 people of the state of Xie Su were taken to the far north, only one day and one night, the country of Xie Su perished, of course, the country of Xie Su is only a small country, the total population is less than 100,000, far from being compared with the country of Yue, but the speed of the destruction of the country of Xie Su still shocked Qu Zhaomu.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the Tang army's attack on the liberation of the Soviet Union, Qu Zhaomu received a call for help from the understanding of the Soviet Union, and while he mobilized the army, he also sent people to quickly ask for help from Dashi, but in the rescue of the liberation of the Soviet Union, the Tocharian countries had contradictions, and the high vassal countries were close to the liberation of the Soviet Union, and strongly requested the immediate rescue of the Soviet Union, but the royal court, the Great Khan and the three countries of Gumo did not want to fight with the Tang army head-on, it was the incoordination of internal voices that caused the Tocharian coalition to watch the rapid destruction of the Liberation of the Soviet Union, which made Qu Zhaomu both sad, He was also full of worries about Tocharo's future.

On the side, Luo Pi, the king of the high vassal state, sighed and said: "I still say the same thing, the Tang army is actually not many troops going south, if we don't face it decisively and let it destroy the country, it won't be long before the fear of the Tang army will sweep over Tocharo, and then we want to fight with the Tang army, I'm afraid the soldiers will no longer be able to fight." ”

The high vassal country is located in the south of the Xie Su country, the Tang army destroyed the understanding of the Su country, and the next step will be to point the sword at the high vassal country, which makes the king of the high vassal country Luo Pi extremely frightened, and personally ran to the Yue country for help.

Qu Zhaomu nodded and said: "I don't understand the current situation, it really can't be delayed any longer, but you also know that the final decision of the army is not in my hands, and it is up to that person to decide." ”

Both of them were silent, the 'man' that Qu Zhaomu was referring to was Saeed, the deputy governor of Khorasan, and the 100,000 coalition troops were actually in his hands, and if he didn't nod, the 100,000 coalition troops would not be able to move even a single soldier.

"Then why did he stand still?" Ropi asked a little unwillingly.

"I guess he also has to ask Qi Yade, until he is sure of the true intentions of the Tang Army, he will not dare to attack the Tang Army without authorization, the big cannibal is no longer as powerful as we imagined."

Qu Zhaomu sighed, this is where their pain lies, when the big cannibals were strong, they betrayed the Tang Dynasty and took refuge in the big cannibals, but when the Tang Dynasty gradually became stronger, and the big cannibals gradually weakened, where should they go? Do you want to take refuge in the Tang Dynasty? In that case, how can they be embarrassed.

At this moment, one of the guards rushed in and reported: "Your Majesty, General Said is here." ”

The two kings looked at each other and stood up together, and Said's arrival most likely meant that the Great Cannibal was decided.

In a few moments, Saeed strode into the palace accompanied by two guards, Saeed was about forty years old and had been a general in the Damascus Guard, but when Mansur had executed the Muslims and made a major personnel transfer, Saeed was transferred to Khorasan as lieutenant governor in charge of Tocharian affairs.

After the Tang army attacked Tocharian on a large scale, Said immediately reported to the governor Ziyad, at this moment, Ziyad's reply had not yet arrived, but the news of the destruction of the state of Liberation Su reached his ears, he could no longer sit still, although Ziyad's order had not yet arrived, but he knew that if another country was destroyed, he still did not take countermeasures, Mansur would not spare him again, and he was worried that the Tocharian countries would be affected by the destruction of the Soviet state, triggering a tide of surrender, and the consequences would be even more serious.

"Your Majesty, I have decided to send troops to meet the battle, and I can't be passive any longer."

Said Lei was resolute, and as soon as he entered the door, he announced the battle against Tang, Qu Zhaomu hurriedly said: "We also have this intention, and we are willing to fight with the general." ”

"That's good! An order was immediately issued to the Tocharian states that the coalition forces would officially declare war on the Tang army. ”

．．．．．． Just three days after the destruction of the Soviet Union, the Tocharian Alliance, under the impetus of the Great Food General Said, officially made a decision to declare war on the Tang Army, and 100,000 Tocharian Coalition soldiers divided into three routes and swooped down on the Tang Army located on the border of the High Dependent State.

Gao vassal country is the Tang Dynasty to its name, the local people are called Gu Lu Shi country, is one of the five major countries of Tochar, there are hundreds of thousands of people, at this time is the fourth day after the destruction of the Soviet Union, Li Guangbi's army is located in the west of the high vassal country of Wusi City, Wusi City is the third largest city of the high vassal country, with a population of more than 50,000 people, is an important agricultural area of the high vassal country, rich in wheat, here is also the first city of the surrender of the Tang army, the destruction of the city of Xie Su made the people of the city of Wusi almost fled into an empty city, only less than 10,000 people left, When the Tang army approached the city two days earlier, the lord of Wusi City was afraid of following in the footsteps of Bo Su City, so he opened the city and surrendered to Li Guangbi.

At this time, the scouts came with the news that the Tocharian 100,000 army, divided into three routes, was outflanking Uth, and the Tang army was waiting for the arrival of the Tocharian 100,000 coalition army.

The night is already deep, the starry sky is like a bright jewel, embellished with black velvet-like canopy, the night shines extraordinarily bright, the night wind is dignified, the Tang dragon flag on the flagpole is blown hunting, under the dragon flag, more than 1,000 Tang troops patrol back and forth in the city, vigilantly watching the situation in the distance.

Li Guangbi also stood on the city wall, looking at the south with deep eyes, he was wearing a silver helmet and silver armor, standing as tall as an aspen, and it showed his unique perseverance and perseverance temperament of the soldiers, he was thinking about the next strategy, his army was only three percent of the opponent, maybe the Tang army was brave and good at fighting, but this did not mean that he could despise the opponent, he knew that the proud army would be defeated, he did not get any information about the combat effectiveness of the Tocharian army, so he could not think that the Tocharian coalition army would be defeated in a battle, on the contrary, As long as the Tocharian army has sixty percent of the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, then the Tang army is likely to be defeated in this battle, and at that time, the general Li Qing'an, who has penetrated into Sindh, is in danger.

Li Guangbi was very aware of the consequences of defeat, he did not dare to be careless, he was in deep thought.

"Is General Li really ready to fight an offensive and defensive battle with the Tocharian coalition forces?"

It was Li Guangbi's lieutenant general, the general He Lou Yurun, he received Li Qing'an's order late, when he led 5,000 troops to Tocharo, the battle of the liberation of the Soviet Union had just ended, at this time he also heard the news of the attack of 100,000 troops, this news made him worried, so he walked to the city wall for a walk, and happened to meet Li Guangbi.

"Nope! It wasn't my intention to fight offensive and defensive battles. ”

Li Guangbi was awakened from his contemplation by He Lou's loud voice, and he turned around and smiled slightly: "Go to the army to fight, Wusi City is just a bait I laid to lure the Tocharian coalition army to take the bait." ”

He Lou Yurun was worried that Li Guangbi was holding the lonely city, hearing him say this, He Lou Yurun's heart was put down, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "I think General Li should not be such a passive person, concentrate all the troops in Wusi City, if the enemy army once besieges the city, the people in the city should join forces inside, and the Tang army is in danger!" ”

At this time, Li Guangbi pondered for a moment, then looked at He Lou Yu Run and said: "But it is necessary to defend the city, General He Lou, I will give you 6,000 troops, can you hold Wusi City for me for three days?" ”

"Surely you only need three days?"

"That's right! As long as it takes three days, as long as you hold it for me for three days, I will be sure to defeat them in one battle with 100,000 allied troops. ”

．．．．．． The sky gradually brightened, and when the sun shined through the heavy clouds, casting thousands of golden rays on the head of the city of Wus, the warning bell sounded at the head of the city of Wus. While! And five thousand soldiers rushed up to the city, bows and arrows and crossbows in their hands, and waited for them.

Outside the city, the overwhelming Tocharian coalition army has been mighty, they are divided into four large phalanxes, from four directions to the city of Us, the horn sounds, the drums are like thunder, infantry, cavalry, camel soldiers, 100,000 troops like waves, gradually stopped, about three miles from the city.

The Tocharian soldiers wore turbans around their heads, leather armor, and a pair of wide bloomers, and their weapons were scimitars and spears, as well as a large number of bows and arrows, and although the kingdoms of Bactria and Kushan created brilliant civilizations here, there was clearly a fault in the civilization, and their civilization was not left to their descendants, on the contrary, their civilization was replaced by the backwardness and barbarism of the destroyers.

The army of 100,000 had only hundreds of simple staircases, no ladders, no trebuchets, no nest carts, and no battering rams, and they were like barbarians from the steppe, with only the most primitive weapons in their hands.

The Tocharian coalition was also apparently aware of the urgent siege problem, and a hundred stairs were not enough to take the city of Us, so Said immediately sent hundreds of men to cut down a thousand-year-old tree, and they needed this thick trunk to break down the gates of the city.

Saeed looked coldly at the city in the distance, the city was covered with flags, full of dense Tang soldiers, behind them, there were dozens of huge trebuchets, standing high on the city walls, Saeed had participated in the battle to conquer the city of Damascus, and knew the power of trebuchets, it was the Umayyad trebuchets that brought heavy losses to the Abbasid army, and they could only besiege the city for several months, until the monster-like battering ram appeared, and Damascus was finally captured.

It's a pity that he didn't expect the Tang army to suddenly attack Tocharo, let alone that the Tang army would garrison the city, so that the Tocharian army did not have any preparations for attacking the city, and there was no monster-like battering ram, which made Said's heart full of worry.

"General Said, the Crash Wood is ready!" An officer rushed to report.

Saeed looked back and saw hundreds of camels dragging a huge trunk, seven feet long and six feet in diameter, and it would take thousands of people to carry the giant crashing tree.

Although Said still had doubts about the Tang Army's trebuchet, he also wanted to see how powerful the Tang Army's trebuchet was.

"Order the Third Legion to attack!"

The Third Legion, the army of the High Vassal, is now on their soil, and it is incumbent upon them to take the lead in this mission.

"Boom! Boom! "The drums of the attack sounded, and the Third Legion, located outside the northern city, launched the first offensive, and ten thousand Tocharian troops rushed like a tide, carrying dozens of stairs, brandishing scimitars and spears, and rushing towards the city gate with a shout, and the arrows rained down, and they shot at the city from a few hundred paces away, but to no avail, but wounded many of their own people by mistake.

Behind the tide-like army, a huge crashing wood was slowly transported to the city gate under the carrying of more than a thousand big men.

At the head of the city, the Tang army's ten trebuchets began to creak apart, because it was attacking from top to bottom, the Tang army craftsmen adjusted the arm distance, and set up a clever lever, so that the trebuchet no longer needed 200 people to pull, only 50 people to start.

The large stones of the grinding disc were put into the throwing bag, and under the order of He Lou Yurun, ten trebuchets were launched at the same time, and ten boulders were thrown high, tumbling in the air, drawing an arc, and slamming into the dense crowd.

"Boom!" There was a loud bang on the ground, and the screams were everywhere, several Tocharian soldiers avoided it, and were smashed into meat cakes by the boulder, and the huge habitual surname made the stones roll in the crowd, and the speed was abnormal, and they rolled out more than twenty steps in a row, and the Tocharian soldiers desperately dodged on both sides, but still fifty or sixty people died under the impact of the boulder, and hundreds of people were injured, their bones and tendons were broken, and the wailing sounded all over the place.

Immediately after the second, third, and fourth rounds of trebuchets were shot, accompanied by the Tang army's bows and crossbows, the arrows on the city were like dense rain, and the city suffered heavy casualties.

The role of trebuchets in defending the city is incomparable, in the historical Anshi Rebellion in the Taiyuan defense battle, Li Guangbi, who was poor in troops, used dozens of giant trebuchets to kill more than 70,000 rebels, and achieved a brilliant victory in the defense of Taiyuan.

It was the same in Tocharo, the Tang army used the world's most advanced trebuchet, causing huge casualties to the attacking Tocharian army, and the battlefield was already full of corpses, smashing flat bodies everywhere, smashed human heads, rivers of blood, and dyeing the stones red.

At this time, the city bomber was gradually approaching the city gate, and the Tang army transferred five medium-sized trebuchets to ignite the oil thunder, and five large fireballs were thrown towards the city crashing wood 200 steps away.

The fireball smashed into the crowd, and suddenly formed a sea of fire, and countless people were ignited by the fire oil, and became living people, who opened their arms and ran in all directions wailing, and before they had run a few steps, they fell to the ground, and the fire burned them to the ground.

The Tang Army's fire oil bombs dealt a fatal blow to the crashing wood, and as the fire burned and spread, the huge collision wood was also ignited, and a large number of carrying soldiers fled, and the collision wood fell to the ground with a bang and was engulfed in the raging fire.

After nearly forty percent of the casualties, the Tocharian army that had attacked for the first time retreated like a tide, and the thick crashing wood did not play any role, and was destroyed by the fire, and Said looked at the city in a daze, although he knew the power of the trebuchet, but he did not expect it to be sharp, and the terrifying fire oil bomb.

He slammed his fist on the crashing wood, gritted his teeth, and said, "Pass my order, stop the attack, and the army will surround the city of Us." ”

．．．．．．． In the second day when the Tocharian coalition army surrounded the city of Us, Li Guangbi led more than 20,000 Tang army main forces but suddenly appeared under the city of Ashu, under the moonlight, the city of Achu was exceptionally quiet, only a small number of troops were stationed, for the more than 20,000 Tang army cavalry who came prepared, the first city of Tocharian with a population of more than 100,000 was almost an undefended city without soldiers.

This was Li Guangbi's strategy, using a small number of Tang troops to hold back the enemy's main force, but he led the main force to jump out of the battlefield, swept the enemy's empty rear with highly mobile cavalry, cut off their logistical supplies, and finally dragged their 100,000 troops to death.

Li Guangbi stared coldly at the city of Ashu in the night, he had already sent 3,000 men to attack the city, and he was waiting for news from the front army.

At this moment, a flame suddenly burst into the sky on the top of the city, the city gate opened, and Li Guangbi raised his sword violently and shouted: "Kill into the city!" ”

"Kill!"

Thousands of horses galloped, the Tang army broke through the city of Ashu in one fell swoop, and more than 20,000 troops entered the city, and the city of Ashu suddenly became a sea of fire.
