Sixty-three: True and false soldiers are coming to the city

The Turkic soldiers in the fort nervously watched the Tang troops lined up, and they noticed the sudden situation in the air late.

The two men in the air had reached the top of the fort in the blink of an eye, and they folded their wings and landed on the top of the fort.

The golden wolf Jin Yifeng was already holding a gun in his hand, and the leader and his subordinates walked towards the fort without hurrying.

Rushing to supervise the siege of the fort, Ambassador Xue Jian looked at the scene in front of him in amazement, "What's the matter?" Is there anyone who can fly? ”

Dugu Qiuqiu, who was munching on the leg of lamb for breakfast, muttered, "That's not flying, that's gliding."

"Tell me, what's going on? How? Isn't it some kind of magic? The frantic General Xue Jian grabbed the neck of the fat man on Temple Street and shouted.

In order to save his neck, Dugu Qiuqiu had to tell the truth.

Flying is the dream of human beings, and from ancient times to the present, except for the Xuanjing masters who fly with swords like the sword god Yang Qiu, they can only look at the sky and sigh.

During a daily gathering, several Temple Street roughmen mocked the two side skewers of the Reaper Squad for skeletons and impermanence, believing that they were as thin as paper and could go to the sky when the wind blew, but they aroused the interest of the Demon Wolf Skystar.

The Demon Wolf Celestial Star made the two of them jump down from the roof of the Temple Street Inn wearing a tripod made of brocade, and they could really glide in the air for a long time.

So the two of them became interested, and they experimented step by step, from the top of the mountain to the cliff, and finally they were able to fly in the air for an hour or two.

In order to take off from the flat ground, the two of them were thrown into the air with a catapult, even if they fell and lay down for several days, they were very happy.

This is not the first time it has been used in actual combat, and there have been several successful drills to overcome the beard hidden on the top of the mountain.

The two of them fell to the top of the fort of the B-word Wu, and did not trim it, turned over and shrank under the eaves, and waited for an opportunity to attack the defenders of the fort in order to avoid the bows and arrows of the Turks outside the fort who reacted.

The bluestone fort was smooth and handless, but the two of them swam like geckos to the whistle.

The Tang army attacking the fort was divided into two routes, one led by Jin Yifeng to rush to support the Turkic Department, and one road to Wuhao Gangbao with Dugu and no life.

However, in a dozen or so breaths, the skeleton and impermanence had already entered the outpost of the sentry fort, both of them had seven levels of peak strength, dealing with a group of ordinary Turkic defenders such as chopping melons and vegetables, Dugu Wufei flew a few arrows to the bottom of the fort, a few hooked claws with ropes on the edge of the sentry post, the Tang army was like a pack of wolves into the flock, and the Wuhao Fort fell in the blink of an eye.

The two armies outside the fort have been in close contact, with 2,000 golden wolf regiments and more than 3,000 supporting Turkic troops.

Xue Jian also jumped on his horse and took his personal guards to join the battle group.

The pontoon bridge on the Tahe River has a steady stream of Tang army reinforcements, and the Turkic reinforcements in Tahe City have also arrived one after another, and the battlefield is getting bigger and bigger.

In the Tang Army camp of Zhengmohe, the general manager of Dugu finally finished handling some daily military affairs, and was about to enjoy a rare and peaceful breakfast, when a group of leading generals suddenly swarmed in.

"Why are you so flustered?" The Grand Steward couldn't help but be surprised.

"The commander, the former army has uprooted many guard forts, and there is a fierce battle in front of Tahe City," replied Yan Qiong, the general of Yunlu, the head of the Chinese army.

"Oh, didn't it go well yesterday? How has the fort been uprooted today? And more? ”

"Yes, the front army has reciprocated like this, the right army has been engaged in battle with the Tahe Turkic Department on the west bank of the Tahe River, and the front army is building a bridge and preparing to cross the river"

"That... Look to go."

So the Dugu chief left the single deputy chief to stay behind and took a group of generals to the front army to meet the enemy.

Fang Sihai, the former commander-in-chief of the army, was urging his troops to prepare to cross the river, the pontoon bridge had been built on the opposite bank, a battalion of soldiers had gone ashore and were pulling out the diagonal stakes, the pontoon bridge was densely packed with soldiers crossing the river, and countless small boats were also carrying people all over the river.

"How's it going?" The chief manager of Dugu was not polite and asked directly.

"Five sentry forts have been uprooted on the other side, but the Turkic reinforcements are attacking fiercely, and there is still a lot of pressure on that side."

The general manager of Dugu did not talk nonsense, and put his hand on the pergola to watch the situation on the other side.

Wuhao Fort is at the confluence of the two rivers, after the Tang soldiers captured the Gangbao, they lined up according to the fort, blocked the Turkic reinforcements and rushed down the riverbank, and fought very hard, and the Luhao Fort in the distance has gathered a lot of Turks are rushing to the pontoon bridge.

"Speed up, hurry up" Fang Sihai understood that now he was rushing for time, if he didn't cross enough soldiers and horses, he would probably not be able to occupy the beachhead, and he would become a laughing stock if he was driven down the river.

"Hey, it would be nice if I also learned from the right army yesterday to burn those obstructive wooden stakes"

"Tell me, wasn't it bad to cross the river yesterday? How did you capture five sentry forts today? "The Dugu manager is also curious.

"Hey, yesterday was a false shot to paralyze the Turkic barbarians, and last night, the people of Temple Street sneaked up and took down four places"

"Last night? When is it? ”

"Yes, the people of the Temple Street Wolf Regiment can see things at night, and after taking two of them, the Turks didn't find them, and then they took the other two, and they didn't react until the pontoon bridge was built to cross a soldier and horse, and the gods didn't know it."

"What else do they do?"

As he spoke, some obstacles had been cleared on the other side, and the Tang soldiers gathered by the hedgehog also had a group of thousands of people, but the Turkic reinforcements also came in a mighty way, seeing that there were only two or three arrows away, and the Turkic reinforcements were mostly cavalry, and the Tang troops who crossed the river in the early stage were all light infantry, except for the big shields, which were all light armor, and the situation was suddenly urgent.

"Why is it so slow?" The veteran of the battlefield, Governor Fang Sihai, was also sweating anxiously.

The reinforcements of the Turkic soldiers were getting closer and closer, and suddenly a group of cavalry troops with black helmets and black armor came out from behind the Wuhao Fort.

"What's the situation?" Fang Sihai shouted at the pontoon bridge, the distance was quite far, and he couldn't see the banner of this cavalry clearly.

"It's our people," shouted sharp-eyed people on the pontoon.

"Should it be the black wolf riding on Temple Street" or the general manager of Dugu is familiar with Temple Street, and he knows that it is under the command of Zhao Yong, the black wolf of Temple Street Zhichong Mansion.

The Turkic soldiers rushed from the shore and the tidal flats, and the black wolf rider who had stabbed him stabbed rushed down from the shore, and in the blink of an eye, the two armies collided like a torrent, and for a moment the people turned on their backs.

A dark battle lasted until noon, when the front army crossed the river and went ashore, and the Turkic reinforcements did not hesitate to withdraw to Tahe City, and even the defenders of the remaining three sentry forts were also clean.

"Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life" Governor Fang Sihai breathed a sigh of relief, and hugged his fists and saluted the chief manager.

"Okay" Dugu looked at the soldiers of the Tang Army who were still crossing the river one after another, full of ambition.

After hastily having lunch, the Dugu general took the generals of the former army and the Chinese army across the river to check the details.

Standing on the third floor of Wuhao Fort, the generals couldn't help but gasp.

After nearly five hours of fierce fighting, the west bank of the Tahe River and the north bank of Huma were in shambles, and the Tang army was cleaning up the battlefield, with stumps and broken arms everywhere, and the ground was mottled with black and red blood, and the casualties on both sides were small.

What shocked everyone was that in front of Tahe City, a trench was dug in a section about ten miles long and wide.

The chief manager of Dugu only nodded to the 4,000 casualties reported by Xue Jian to show that he knew, and took his men across the river to return to the Chinese army with an expressionless expression.

On June 30 of the tenth year of Shenlong, the Tang army broke through the Tahe River and the Huma River, and camped eight miles below the Tahe City.

On the third day of the seventh month of the tenth year of Shenlong, the Tang army bulldozed the ditch after two days of hard work, and finally approached the city of Tahe.

On the fourth day of the seventh month of the tenth year of Shenlong, the Tang Army's expedition to Mohe was star-studded and the pre-war meeting was held to attack Tahe City.

Li Xiancheng, the commander of the right army, has been in charge of the scenery in the past few days, and he has been invited to a banquet by the generals of the former army in turn every day, and his face is full of oil.

Although the first merit of crossing the river and uprooting Gangbao is recorded in the name of the former army, everyone knows that it is the greatest credit of the right army's temple street Zhechong Mansion.

The right army of Zhengmohe has all withdrawn to the east bank of the Tahe River, all the front army is stationed in front of Tahe City, two Bohai Navy, 20,000 Lu Long Army, although the loss of the first battle of crossing the river is more than 3,000, but it is not to break the muscles and bones, and the camp tent has added 20,000 Heishui troops to the front army, resulting in the Heishui Governor Li Xiancheng although he commanded the right army, but there are only 10,000 Heishui troops left under his command, and the remaining 30,000 Far East 13 vassal soldiers and 10,000 mercenaries are not directly dispatched by him, and they and another 10,000 Temple Street Zhichong Mansion soldiers are under the orders of Dugu Tianxing, the commander of Temple Street.

The left army also has 20,000 battalions of state troops crossing the river to protect the front army, and the camp tent has been moved to the camp left by the front army.

"How many days has it been? That Demon Wolf Celestial Star hasn't returned to camp yet? Xue Jian smiled and shouted at Governor Li Dadu, Ambassador Lu Long, who had completed the military order perfectly, was in a very happy mood.

"Not yet, haven't played yet" Heishui Li Dudu is not jealous of his subordinates at all, and even loves it very much, after all, the credit along the way is more or less stained with the light of the Temple Street Wolf Regiment.

"Lend me Jin Yifeng's regiment again, and that Dugu is lifeless, skeletons are impermanent, and I will give the general manager a proposal" Xue Jian not only pinched the heavy infantry regiment on Temple Street in his hands, but also looked at the light infantry regiment.

"Do you want to give you all the right army?" Li Dudu replied with a smile.

"Yes, anyway, your right army will definitely only have soup to drink this time in Tahe City" Ambassador Xue Jian and Li Dudu are already familiar with each other.

"Hmph, this battle temple street is a lot of losses, you first think about how to explain to the Demon Wolf Celestial Star, right?"

".....Forehead" Ambassador Xue Jian is a little weak, the Tang army suffered nearly 4,000 casualties in this battle, of course, most of them are still his Lu Long Army, the first day of crossing the river is to lure the enemy, Lu Long Army is the vanguard, the loss of more than 500 soldiers, with more than 500 soldiers sacrificed to paralyze the Turkic soldiers, only the early morning raid was smooth, the second day of the blocking battle Lu Long Army is also the main force, but the Temple Street Zhichong Mansion also followed the charge, the loss is inevitable, Temple Street probably also has thousands of casualties.

The Chinese camp was noisy, and the senators were arguing about the siege sequence.

After a while, Andong Dadu, the chief manager of Zhengmohe, and Shan Sijing, the deputy chief manager, came to the big tent with their staff, and sat down behind the case.

The commander-in-chief of the five armies and the supervising army envoys sat on both sides of the account, and the generals and colonels of the leading roads were led in turn.

Yan Qiong, the general of the Chinese army's right authority Wei Yunlu, had a cold face, sitting upright, and his military appearance was neat and impeccable.

The former army commander Bohai Governor Zhuangwu General Fang Sihai smiled and groaned, his black face was flushed, and the good start of the former army gave him a lot of face.

Tang Xiujing, the general of Zhongwu, the governor of Yingzhou, the commander of the left army, is a Confucian general, and he is also wearing a military uniform at the moment, smiling with his beard, not knowing what he is thinking.

The commander of the rear army, Andong guarded the capture of Xuanwei General Pei Xuangui, who was also full of smiles, and seemed to be a participant in this battle, looking like he was honored.

Chen Dao, the chief supervisor of the army, had no different color on his face, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

"You're in a very good mood," Dugu first glanced at the generals of the war.

"The general manager, the former army handed over the order, not dishonoring the military order, a certain department has taken the front fort of Tahe City, and the front of Tahe City is also a smooth road, and a certain army is ready to go, just waiting for the commander-in-chief's order, the former army officers and soldiers can attack the city at any time, and they will attack everything" Ambassador Xue Jian rushed out as soon as possible, and did not forget to fight for the first sequence of attacking Tahe for the front army.

"Chen Jianjun, has General Xue's military order been checked?"

"Chief Executive, the inspection of the military order of the former army has been completed" Chen Dao supervised the official rank of the envoy with only eight ranks, the lowest rank in the account, but he was authoritative and prudent, and at this time he also replied "I believe that the military order of the former army has been completed"

"That's good, we will discuss it after rewarding according to the law" The chief manager lightly revealed the matter, and Ambassador Xue Jian glanced at Yan Guofeng, the ambassador of the Liaocheng Army with a green face, and returned to his position in a daze.

"The former army has arrived at Tahe City, and the next step is to attack the city, do you have any suggestions?" The single deputy director on the side then spoke.

There was silence in the account, and then the governor of the former army, Fang Sihaidu, coughed lightly, "Everyone, a certain former army is the vanguard of the army, and it is incumbent on the former army to attack the city, and the former army is willing to be the pioneer of the whole army, and a certain is fully prepared, just wait for the camp order to be ordered, and the siege can be launched immediately."

"The former army has made meritorious contributions in the first battle, and a certain one is convinced, but the former army has been tired recently, and the Chinese army has been repairing for a long time, and there is no inch, and a certain one is willing to petition for the siege vanguard" As soon as the words fell, Yan Junluan, the commander of the Chinese army, got up and asked for an order.

"The Left Army is also willing to be the vanguard,"

"The right army is willing to be the vanguard of the army, and it is not unremitting to attack Tahe"

"The rear army is also willing to be the vanguard of the siege"

Even the rear army Bae Hyun-gyu came to join in the fun.

"Well.." The chief manager of Dugu, who was sitting upright, snorted coldly with a blank face.

"The whole army of the front army has been camped under the city, the other armies are still far from the city, the siege of the city must be tiring, the previous battle of crossing the river, the front army has fought with the Turks, the situation is familiar, please be sure to order the front army as the vanguard of the siege" Xue Jian was anxious, and jumped out of the order again.

"The Chinese army is only a few miles away from the city, and a certain group has come all the way from Kyoto to serve the country wholeheartedly, and a certain class is willing to be the vanguard of the siege," several lieutenants of the right guard, such as Qin Chongcheng and Peng Zhengne, all jumped out to ask for orders.

The two ambassadors of the left army, Du Feng and Xiao Jing, and even the ambassador Yan Guofeng of the Chinese army, also came out to ask for their lives.

"Hugh is noisy," Shan Sijing, the deputy director, shouted, "All the generals are listed, and this matter has its own business proposition"

"The two great commanders, the first victory of the army before the battle of crossing the river, the heart of a certain view is self-respecting" and other generals are quiet, and Tang Xiujing, the head of the Confucian general left army, said slowly, "But after a few days of fierce fighting, the front army is exhausted, and the casualties are also very serious, Fang Dudu, the front army has lost 5,000 soldiers and horses in a few days, right?" ”

"Less than five thousand, don't worry about some casualties," Fang Sihai replied cautiously.

"It's been eleven or twelve of the former army" Tang Dudu is still unhurried, "The attack on Tahe is not a day, the front army can be repaired one or two, and the officers and men of the left army have been on the march for a long time, and they are eager to make meritorious contributions, and they hope that the governor of Fang will be completed"

"The former army obeys the decision of the camp" Governor Fang Sihai didn't say much, but the anxious Ambassador Xue Jian grabbed his ears and cheeks.

"Right Weiwei came to the Far East to make meritorious contributions, please make the general manager complete" General Yan Junluan no longer talked nonsense.

The camp continued to earn money for the siege vanguards.

Until noon, the camp determined the siege sequence, and the right guard of the Chinese army overwhelmed the armies to become the vanguard of the siege.
