Chapter 9 Entering the Dafei River
On the top of the mountain, the generals watched the gray fog envelop the stone castle city, and they were all stunned, their mouths opened wide, their eyes widened, and they even forgot to speak.
At present, everyone understands that Shibao City is over, and it will definitely be captured by the Tang Army.
Think about it, how much effort the Tang Dynasty put in to attack Shibao City, and how many soldiers were killed and wounded, but it didn't succeed, and it became a heart disease of the Tang Dynasty. Now, Li Longji has brought down Shibao City without much effort, which is a miracle.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, the generals who killed them wouldn't have believed it was true.
"The prince is wise and martial, and the posture of the sky is extraordinary. If you don't make a move, it's just a shot, and it's earth-shattering, and the stone castle city is very good! ”
"Don't say that the stone castle city is just ten times more difficult than the strong city pass, as long as the prince wants to, he will definitely be able to defeat it."
"I knew that the prince was very wise, and that was indeed the case! I knew that the prince had a clever plan to capture Shibao City in one fell swoop, and it was so! ”
"The crown prince is worthy of being the descendant of Emperor Taizong, invincible and invincible, how can the stone castle city stop the prince's footsteps?"
Immediately afterwards, the generals reacted, that is, they boasted loudly, and praised Li Longji for a while with all the words they knew, like flowers.
"Am I that good? Do you believe in me that much? How did I not know? Li Longji's face was grim, and he shouted loudly to the generals: "Who is Shicai sneering at me? Say I'm crazy, big talk? Who said I couldn't take Stone Castle in one fell swoop? It's you? It's you? Or are you? ”
The generals were all red-faced and ashamed. Embarrassed, they all bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes, like elementary school students who had done something wrong facing an angry teacher.
"Prince. This is because we have no eyes, we don't know what the prince knows, and we ask the prince to forgive us. ”
"It's weird, it's all because I don't know how to know the prince's clever plan."
The generals blamed themselves and regretted that they did not believe in Li Longji.
"Alright." Li Longji waved his hand and said, "Instead of blaming yourself here." It's better to prepare to march into Dafeichuan. ”
"Okay." This time, the generals received the order with a bang, and they all smiled. There is not the slightest hint of opposition.
Li Longji led the generals down the mountain and returned to the camp.
On the way, the generals were still praising Li Longji, listening to what they meant, Li Longji seemed to be a god descending from heaven. Heaven is wise. The majesty is extraordinary, and the spirit of the king is leaking.
Shibao City is the time of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty when he toured the west, came here, and now the geographical location here is extremely dangerous, so he ordered to build a city here, and there is Shibao City.
In the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Tubo took the opportunity to occupy Shibao City, which became a sharp sword hanging over the Hexi Corridor. It posed a huge threat to the Hexi Corridor, which was a headache for the Tang Dynasty.
Historically. Li Longji considered from a strategic height, determined to take Shibao City, forced Tubo to withdraw from the alliance with the Arab Empire, so that the Tang Dynasty could concentrate its forces on a big war with the Arab Empire in the Western Regions and compete for Central Asia, and ordered Wang Zhongji to attack Shibao City.
Wang Zhongji was the most capable commander of Li Longji's dynasty, and he was Li Longji's adopted son, who was very trusted by Li Longji and handed over half of the Tang Dynasty's army to Wang Zhonghe, which shows how much Li Longji trusted him.
After careful consideration, Wang Zhongsi believed that it was impossible to take Shibao City, and repeatedly opposed the dispatch of troops. In the end, he annoyed Li Longji, removed Wang Zhonghe, and ordered Ge Shuhan to replace Wang Zhonghe.
Under Li Longji's strict order, Ge Shuhan had to send troops, and after a bloody battle, he finally succeeded by sneak attack. In this battle, the Tang army paid a huge price of more than 40,000 dead and wounded.
Of course, the results of the battle against Shibao City were also brilliant, that is, the Tibetans were afraid, negotiated peace with the Tang Dynasty, and withdrew from the alliance with the Arab Empire.
The security of the Hexi Corridor was assured, and Tibet withdrew from the alliance with the Arab Empire, which was very beneficial to the Tang Dynasty, which entered the Western Regions with a large number of manpower and material resources, strengthening the military power of the Western Regions. Soon, Gao Xianzhi fought in Central Asia, all the way west, to Hengros, and shook the Arab Empire.
Now, Shibao City will inevitably be defeated, and the soldiers can't help but rejoice, and if they don't praise Li Longji, they won't succeed.
The reason why Li Longji succeeded was that Stone Castle City was too small, and if it was bigger, this trick would definitely be useless.
The Tibetan garrison in Shibao City is only 400 people, and there is no place for any more garrisons, which shows how small Shibao City is, which is equivalent to a very small street.
After the wind blew, more than 10,000 catties of ash formed a fog mass that was enough to envelop Shibao City.
Even if only a part of the stone fortress city was enveloped, it would be enough to make the Tibetan garrison lose its combat power.
Yang Siqiao and Xue Zhifeng rushed in their heads, roaring loudly, all the way smoothly, without encountering the slightest resistance from Tubo, and arrived in front of Shibao City.
There is only one mountain road that runs through Shibao City, and the Tang army who died on this mountain road does not know how many, and in the past, every step forward had to pay a huge price. Now, it has become a smooth road, Tubo has not resisted in the slightest, Yang Siqiao and Xue Zhi feel like a dream.
Not only do the two of them have the feeling of dreaming, but who is not as good as the soldiers?
"Are we really in front of Stonecastle?"
"I'm not dazzled? Am I not mistaken? ”
"Am I daydreaming?"
"It seems like it might be possible...... There's nothing wrong with that. ”
The soldiers were shocked.
If it weren't for their own experience, they wouldn't have believed it would have been so smooth.
This is Stone Fort City, the most headache for the Tang Dynasty, there is no one.
Contrary to the Tang Army, which was as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, the Tibetan soldiers, who were terrified because they couldn't see, shouted and panicked.
"My eyes, my eyes."
"Listen, the Tang army is coming, the Tang army is coming, and it has already arrived in the city."
"How's that for good? How is it good? ”
"Let's fight."
"Fighting? Do you want to come out? I can't see with my eyes, how can I fight this battle? How to deal with the battle? ”
"Run. Take advantage of the opportunity and run away. ”
"That's right! Escape. Oops, where did it hit? My nose. ”
"I can't see. How do you escape? ”
The Tibetan soldiers were completely panicked, unable to fight, unable to escape. Except panic or panic.
"We're not going to have to wait to die, are we?" In the end, the Tibetan soldiers were terrified and desperate.
In fact, they guessed right, and they had no other way out than to wait for death.
"The Tibetan dog thinks that if the city gate is closed, we will have no choice? Climb up! Yang Siqiao took a look at the situation in Stone Castle City. I saw that the gate of Shibao City was closed, but there were not many Tibetan soldiers on the city.
The Tibetan soldiers at the head of the city were terrified. Jumping around, some people fell to the city, crying and screaming for their fathers and mothers.
The soldiers of the Tang Army began to stack ladders, and soon. And some men climbed up to the top of the city. Waving the horizontal knife in his hand, slashing and killing, he roared: "Kill the Tubo dog!" Kill the Tibetan dog! ”
"Abominable and hateful Tibetan dogs, your time of death has come!"
"Kill! Kill all the Tibetan dogs! ”
Rushing to the head of Shibao City, this is the first time in the history of the Tang Dynasty, if the soldiers are not excited, they will not be able to do it, all of them regard a point of strength as a very strong force, and the slashing is extremely sharp.
And the Tibetan soldiers couldn't see because of their eyes. There is no way to resist, only to be slaughtered.
Say massacre. It's already high-minded, and it should be called torture and killing.
The Tibetan soldiers can't see it, it's already abolished, and they are hacked and killed again, can this be torture and killing?
The Tang army, who didn't have time to climb to the top of the city, shot with a bow and arrow, and shot at such a close range, it was a shot and a shot.
Yang Siqiao cut down a few Tibetan soldiers, jumped off the city, came to the city gate, and opened the city gate.
The Tang army surged in, like a tide, and soon submerged the stone castle city.
Xue Zhi led a group of Tang troops to another gate of Shibao City and occupied this gate to prevent the Tibetan soldiers from escaping. In fact, the current Tibetan soldiers are difficult to see, and they can't escape if they want to, and it doesn't make much difference whether he occupies it or not. It's just that it's more secure to occupy.
The next thing is simple, it is to end the fight.
The Tibetan soldiers were either killed or captured, and the battle ended quickly, and the whole battle was no more than a meal.
Who called Shibao City too small, and the Tubo army stationed here was only 400 people, so it was impossible not to end the battle early.
Just after the battle, Li Longji arrived surrounded by all the generals, and Yang Siqiao and Xue Zhi hurriedly greeted him: "I've seen the prince!" ”
"Excuse me." Li Longji waved his hand and asked, "Is the battle over?" ”
"It's over." Yang Simiao's spirit was bright, and he said with a smile: "Prince, there are only four hundred Tibetans here, and we are still blind waste, if we can't end the battle, then we are too wasteful." ”
"That's a good point." Xue Zhida agreed with this.
"Good!" Li Longji's eyes sparkled, his right hand was raised high, slashed down, and loudly announced: "Brothers: The fortified city of Shibao City is a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Hexi Corridor!" In order to attack Shibao City, Datang attacked many times, with countless casualties, all of which were unsuccessful! Today, we have successfully captured the fortress! ”
"Long live Datang!"
"Long live Datang!"
The soldiers let out an earth-shattering roar, and the sound waves pierced through the nine skies, shattering the puffy clouds in the sky.
The significance of capturing Stone Castle City is too great, and everyone understands that it will not be possible if the soldiers are not particularly excited.
The soldiers raised their voices and cheered as much as they could, and after half an hour, they stopped.
"Brothers: In front of Shibao City is Dafeichuan." Li Longji lectured again and said: "Twenty years ago, Xue Rengui, the general of Zuo Xiaowei, led the army to attack Dafeichuan, but he was defeated by Dafeichuan, which is a shame for the Tang Dynasty!" Now that Stone Castle City has been captured by our brave soldiers, the time has come for us to march into Dafeichuan! ”
"Enter Dafeichuan!"
"Enter Dafeichuan!"
The soldiers raised their arms and shouted, the sound shook the sky, and the ground trembled.
The Tang army was well-trained, well-equipped, and had strict orders, and was able to fight well, sweeping the world, destroying dozens of countries, and rarely defeating. Xue Rengui's defeat in Dafeichuan was a great shame for the Tang Dynasty, and the soldiers were thinking about revenge all the time.
Now, the opportunity has finally come, and the soldiers are full of fighting spirit, and their eyes are full of blazing light.
"Grandfather, you know in the spirit of the sky, Datang is finally going to enter Dafeichuan!" Xue Zhi looked up to the sky, muttered to himself, and prayed to Xue Rengui's spirit in the sky. (To be continued......)
