956 The Mighty Army arrived
Fortresses are easiest to breach from within.
There is nothing wrong with this statement at all, there is Apo. In response, the city with high walls and strong walls had no effect at all, and the Tang army entered the city without much effort and took this strategically important castle in one fell swoop.
This night, the city of Pibo burst into flames, shouting and killing, fighting, screaming all night long, in the case of no retreat, some of the Tubo soldiers who were unwilling to surrender and the Tang Dynasty army fought a fierce street battle, if you say horseback shooting, the Tang army is not as nomadic as the Tubo army, but these street battles, the Tubo army in front of the Tang army, is simply like a naΓ―ve child.
The Tang army has excellent armor, powerful firearms, strong shields, skillful cooperation, in the city is simply like a fish in water, the Tubo soldiers are not advantageous anywhere, especially cut off from their own officials, lords, chaos, can not organize a counterattack, especially the Apo clan to participate in it, sometimes confused and sent their lives I don't know what's going on, under the violent takeover of the Tang Dynasty, like a moth to a fire, one after another fell in a pool of blood, although there are many soldiers and civilians, but when it is dawn, The Don army took full control of this strategic fortress.
This long and bloody night, the Hou army gathered in front of the Tubo people, showing what is called the iron-blooded policy, those who do not cooperate and do not obey, no matter how killed, the city is full of corpses, so the red blood stained the streets of Pibo City red, walking from above, there is a greasy feeling, the smell of blood in the air, has not been dispersed, Li Er and the military department secretly formulated the "wolf breeding plan" finally has a major harvest.
"Newspaper, Apo. The color department has won a great victory, and has successfully killed the general of Tubo Youru, Sita, and is now leading the army to help clear the target."
"Report, Xicheng has been completely controlled by our army."
"Report to General Hou. The stubborn Turum Troops in Dongcheng District have all been annihilated, and our army has lost 320 killed and more than 460 wounded. β
"Report, Aji Right Tusi in the southern region led the crowd to surrender to our army."
"Newspaper, all the sixteen hundred houses in the city have been taken"
"Report, the granary has been taken down, and the number is being counted."
Hou Junji stood on the city wall, looking condescendingly at the chaotic Pibo City, looking at everything in front of him coldly, while listening to the good news from the soldiers under his command. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile of ambition.
At this time, the city of Pibo was like purgatory, the city trembled under its feet, the living beings were burned in the flames of war, and hundreds of thousands of lives were just a thought of their own. Hou Junji felt that this moment. He is like a god on high. Controlling the lives of these people, as they violently took over the city, there were people dying every quarter of an hour, and people fighting for life and death every moment.
The flames that soared into the sky seemed to set the night sky on fire, and the screams of despair were like the screams from the Nine Hells, the blood-stained earth, which looked so shocking in the firelight, and the smell of scorched corpses mixed with the smell of blood. formed a disgusting taste, ordinary people are estimated to vomit when they see this scene, but Hou Jun looks like he is enjoying it. It can be seen that he is very satisfied with his plan and the performance of his soldiers.
All the people of Tubo are soldiers, these are military feats, even the miserable corpses, in the eyes of Hou Junji, they have also become cute, for him, those are the ladders on the road to his success and fame, a generation of famous generals.
To be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself, and Hou Junji knows this truth very well.
When the night faded little by little, the sun rose little by little, and the city of Pibo slowly returned to calm, the sound of firecrackers, swords and guns, shouts of killing, screams and so on became fainter and fainter, when the first rays of sunlight shone through the clouds on the city of Pibo, the Tang army finally completely controlled the old capital of Tubo, as if the ugly things of conspiracy and killing could not be seen by the heavens, as soon as the day dawned, everything returned to calm.
Hou Junji was here all night to dispatch troops, command the battle, although he didn't sleep all night, but his eyes were still bright, when he saw the sun shining on the city, he couldn't help but look at the rising sun, in winter, the sun did not seem to be so dazzling, the sun of Hexi shone on the clouds on the edge of the sky, the clouds were reflected as if they were golden satin, it looked so beautiful, charming, shining on the body, it also made people feel warm.
What a beautiful morning sun, how many moving scenery, and another beautiful day, but unfortunately, many people are destined not to see it, because they are losers, and beautiful things only belong to the winners.
"Let's go." Hou Junji said lightly, turned around and walked down, he was ready to inspect the city as a victor.
"Yes, General." Several henchmen and guards responded, and hurriedly followed, protecting his surroundings to prevent anyone from treating him unfavorably.
"General"
"General"
"Good General"
Along the way, those soldiers saluted Hou Junji, and Hou Junji nodded lightly from time to time in response.
Hou Junji saw that some soldiers were already drinking and ordering the prisoners who had disarmed to carry the corpses, wash the bloodstains, and clean up the mess, they all had smiles on their faces, and their eyes showed proud looks, many of them had large bags of gold and silver on their backs and bodies, which were their trophies, and they were captured in battle, even Hou Junji had no right to ask them to hand them over.
These soldiers are not like the Yangwei army, eat well and live well, and have a salary, they are government soldiers, bring their own weapons and equipment to fight, relying on the capture and military merits, once the city is trapped, naturally will not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune, Pibo is a big city in Tubo, which lives a lot of nobles, such as lords, Tusi, patriarchs and the like, they are ruthlessly exploiting their slaves, but also robbed a lot of goods in the development of Tibet, but these are now owned by the Tang Army.
If it is not beneficial, can they be as active as Niu Jinda, Cheng Lao Demon King, and Duan Zhixuan to personally lead the team to exterminate those Tubo soldiers?
"Hahaha, General Hou is really in command, I Lao Cheng congratulated General Hou on taking Pibo City and making a great contribution." Hou Junji was walking when he suddenly heard someone talking loudly beside him.
You don't need to turn your head to wait for Junji to hear that this is the voice of Cheng Lao Demon King, and when he heard this, he turned around and said with a smile: "Old General Cheng is polite, this matter is everyone's credit, Hou is just doing his own duty, or General Cheng is brave and personally goes into battle, which greatly stimulates morale, which Hou admires." β
Although he is the commander of the Tang Army, Hou Junji knows that it is just the blessing of going out to Tibet for the first time and being familiar with Tibet, talking about fame and status, veterans like Cheng Lao Demon King and Duan Zhixuan are only high and low compared to themselves, but they can't point fingers at them, as soon as they saw Cheng Lao Demon King, they immediately changed their smiling faces.
This guy has benefits, he is never willing to be left behind, he followed his private guards, all carrying large bags and small bags, needless to say that he made another windfall.
"These Tubo people can't teach him a lesson, they want to beat him when they see him, by the way, they don't see the old cow?"
"General Niu, they led the troops to search one after another, and now they haven't heard the sound of fighting, and I believe they will come back soon." Hou Jun smiled.
Old Demon King Cheng was a little depressed and said: "My old Cheng's hands are too smelly, I was assigned to a place where there is no oil and water, and let them take all the good ones, no, I will come back in a while, and we have to let us drink."
It is said that it is a search, but in fact, it is to clean up the spoils of war, put on armor and go into battle, and tie your head to your trousers to kill the enemy, in order to fight for a good future, it is best to reward meritorious deeds, you can be promoted and make a fortune, you really can't be promoted, it is not bad to grab a little more floating wealth, if there is only one force, it is easy to deal with, where the sweep is, if it is several forces, then you have to talk about the first to come and then come, and some have already divided the sphere of influence before the attack, so as not to get their own people to fight.
Old Demon King Cheng was unlucky, and he divided a place with not much oil and water, so he was the first to search for it.
Not long after, Duan Zhixuan, Niu Jinda and others also came back with the loot to join everyone, because of Abo. The Tubo people were caught off guard, not only could they not leave, but even the gold and silver goods had no time to transfer and collect, so that the people present all made a windfall, and they were overjoyed and joked with each other.
Several famous generals of the Tang Dynasty were talking and laughing, wearing Tubo fish scale armor and tying a red scarf on his arm to distinguish him. His subordinates came over, and when he saw that all the generals were there, he immediately came over and said respectfully, "Apo. I have seen all the generals. β
Hou Junji immediately helped him up and said, "Abo. General Se doesn't have to be polite, in the end, you are the biggest hero this time, without your response and guidance, we will definitely not be so smooth, nor will we successfully obtain the head of Sita, you can rest assured, this will definitely play the emperor, for you to ask for credit. β
Military generals are not as fond of intrigue as civilian officials, and throughout the ages, there are not many people who take the lead in leading the army, because this kind of thing will be very despised by people, and his subordinates will also feel that it is unreliable to follow such a general, and most generals disdain to do this kind of thing.
Pander to. Se not only acted as an internal response, but also took the lead, leading his clansmen and soldiers to the front, and then he did not participate in the robbery with great interest, and competed with everyone for profit, and the people present still had a very good impression of him.
"Yes, there's General Law, Apo. Color is grateful. "Apo. Se said overjoyedly.
Hou Junji patted him on the shoulder and said, "No, you deserve it, Apo." General Se, even if it is defeated this time, we must also prevent the counterattack of Songtsen Gampo, and our Tang Army is responsible for the defense, and the security in the city will be entrusted to you. β
This is a great trust, and with the right to law and order, it is just right to settle old accounts, and maybe there will be some benefits, Apo. As soon as he heard this, he immediately said loudly: "Apo. Color Collar Order. β
Just when Hou Junji wanted to comfort a few words, a herald ran over and reported loudly: "General, General Yangwei Liu Yuan and his Yangwei army are asking to see outside the city and ask to enter the city. β
Liu Yuan, this kid is here?
Not only Hou Junji, but also Cheng Old Demon King, Duan Zhixuan, Li Jing and others were all brightly eyed, and Hou Junji immediately said: "Quick, open the city gate and let them in." (To be continued......)
