Chapter 279: The Feast
The people in front of the two garrison cities of Mingwei and Wu'an are like ants gathering, the sound of killing is boiling in the sky, the fire is soaring, and the black smoke is filled! The Turks who attacked the pass not only used stones, bows and arrows, but also dried cow and horse dung mixed with croton, arsenic and other poisons, and then threw them on the city, and the poisonous smoke smoked people's eyes and noses.
The Tang army defending the city sprinkled rolling logs, stones, gold juice, and boiling water as if they didn't need money, and huge bed crossbows and stone throwers continued to throw heavy objects outside the city.
Wars are always cruel, siege warfare is even more cruel, the defending side has a geographical advantage, it must have a greater advantage than the attacking side, so plus the 10,000 reinforcements brought by Lou Shide, the Baiting defenders have a total of 25,000 people, and the two garrisons of Mingwei and Wu'an are impregnable, and the casualties of the Turks are several times that of them, but it is always difficult to go further before the 100,000 army supports the pass.
The siege general of the Turkic army, Tie Qing, commanded the soldiers and horses to rush desperately, he knew very well that it was not yet the time to break the city, and everything they were now was to consume the troops defending the city, to consume them with their own lives, and to consume them with the lives of several times the enemy.
There were 25,000 defenders in the city, and in addition to the dead and wounded who could not fight, there were less than 20,000 who could still fight, and the casualties of the Turkic army were five times that of them.
But they had no way to retreat, so they could only continue to attack, and they could only continue to wear down with the Tang army, until the remnants of the Tang army could no longer defend their castle, and rushed into the city, robbing money, grain, cattle and sheep, women and ....... The sacrifice is worth it, and the survivors will enjoy the feast!
Suddenly, the desolate horn sound sounded from the rear of the Turkic soldiers attacking in front of the Wu'an Pass, and the Turkic generals who were carrying their swords to supervise the formation heard the horn sound, and their brows couldn't help frowning, and the horn sound continued to come, it was indeed an order to collect the troops, although he was puzzled in his heart. Still immediately ordered to collect the troops, and the Turkic soldiers who were besieging the city left behind their mutilated corpses and retreated like a tide.
The defenders at the head of the city were at a loss, not understanding why the Turks hastily withdrew their troops. But it was always a lucky thing for the enemy to stop the offensive, and they involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Yunbao, who was standing on Shilazi Mountain and watching the movement, breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked back at Lou Shide.
Lou Shide was draped in a scarlet coat, and said with a slight smile: "They have been tricked!" Let's go down and prepare! β
"Whoa!"
Ye Yunbao happily agreed. Turning his head to look at the Turkic camp that was collecting troops at the foot of the mountain, he picked up Lou Shide. Step by step, step by step......
The movement of the Asid camp in front of Wu'an quickly attracted the attention of the great Yehu of Moon in front of Mingwei, and Moon and Mu Si hurriedly ordered the collection of troops and led more than 100 horsemen to gallop towards the Asid camp in front of Wu'an.
βzhanzhuοΌ Who dares to trespass on the barracks? β
A Turkic officer stepped forward and put his hand on it. blocked their way. Behind, a platoon of spearmen "sighed". The spear pointed diagonally, aiming the sharp spear at them. Behind the fence, rows of archers were ready to take action.
Moon was furious, whipped it down, and roared angrily, "Bastard! You dare to stand in the way of my horse! β
"Smack" a whip. The officer's face was streaked with blood, and a streak of blood snaked down his cheek like a snake. But he didn't wipe it, he still stood upright, and said in a loud voice: "Zhu Tu Daye has an order, no one is allowed to enter my camp for half a step, and violators will be killed!" β
As he spoke, he slashed his palm, and rows of spearhead arrows made an attacking gesture towards Moon and the group.
Moon was furious, put his palm on the cold scabbard, and said coldly, "You want to die? β
"Who is so arrogant in front of my camp?"
A cold voice sounded immediately, and Zhu Tu, surrounded by a hundred and ten brave knights, also rushed to the front of the big tent, accompanied by Xiao Mumu and Lu Bugu on his left and right.
When Moon saw him coming, he shrugged his eyebrows and said angrily, "Jutu! The battle is in full swing, why did you withdraw your troops? β
When Mu Si saw Xiao Mumu who shot him in the throat, she immediately pressed the handle of the knife, gritted her teeth, and her fierce expression was like a wolf that chose someone to devour. Xiao Mumu saw Mu Si, who had kidnapped his tribe and connived at his subordinates to insult his concubine, and he also clutched the handle of the knife tightly, his face was distorted, and he looked like he was going to step forward desperately.
Zhu Tu rode on the horse, leaned back slightly, and said casually: "Why do you collect the troops?" Collect ...... Collecting troops is a piece of! Lao Tzu has to withdraw immediately! β
Moon was just a little annoyed, and came over to question, but when he heard Zhu Tu say this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and said in a lost voice: "Retreat? You want to retire? Who allowed you to quit the army? As long as we fight for a few more days, there are not enough defenders in the city, we will definitely be able to take this pass, and you actually want to withdraw without permission? β
Zhu Tu laughed and said, "Haha! Take this pass? I'm afraid that we will even take the grassland and horse farm of our Ashid tribe, right? β
Moon's face changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Zhu Tu, what do you mean by this?" β
Zhu Tu sneered: "Moon, don't say secret things in front of the Ming people, do you still need me to make it clear?" Walk! β
Zhu Tu pulled his horse and left, Moon was in a hurry, urging the horse to catch up, more than a dozen sharp spears forced him, Zhu Tu Lema turned around, and sneered: "The Tang army is in front of the pass, if you are not afraid of being taken advantage of by outsiders, so what!" β
Moon was almost dizzy and yelled, "Jutu, you bastard, can you make your words clearer?" β
Zhu Tu glanced at him coldly, reached out, slapped Lu Bugu twice on the shoulder, and said loudly: "I want to teach you that a certain and Lu Bugu have made a bloody alliance and become brothers last night!" β
Moon was dazed and yelled, "You fucking just think he's a godfather, it's all about Lao Tzu!" I'll ask you, why did you quit the army! β
Zhu Tu let out a long sigh and said to Lu Bugu: "Lu Bugu, you said that if this person doesn't have a face, what can we do with him?" β
Lu Bugu replied: "Then treat him as a fart and let him go!" β
βhahahahaβ¦β¦β
The two daxiao recklessly and left arrogantly.
Moon and Muth stood outside the camp of the Ashed Division, you look at me, I look at you, still not understanding what is going on.
The soldiers and horses of the Asid tribe in the front line were still on strict alert in the direction of Wu'an, and their rear formation had begun to dismantle the tents, pack up, and prepare to return home.

Zhonglang General's Mansion, a feast.
There are Lou Shide, Ye Yunbao, Shen Mu, Yang Fan, and a beautiful girl - Tian Ainu.
Ye Yunbao was dressed in a military uniform and fully draped, which seemed quite out of place with the atmosphere in the banquet.
Shen Mu said with a smile: "Lu Bugu is a Khitan tribe, his grassland is close to Liaodong, adjacent to the grassland of the Asid tribe, after defecting to the Turks, the Ashide tribe gave up a piece of grassland to him, and his original territory is connected, his interests have been integrated with the Ashide tribe, glory is common prosperity, loss is common loss."
Now, even if Mo Si really offered more conditions, it was unlikely that Lu Bugu would stand on his side. What's more, Zhu Tu has always treated Lu Bugu well, Lu Bugu has no ambitions, he is a simple-minded, righteous, and bloody man, so he can't do this kind of thing! So, I expect him to confess everything to Jutu! β
Lou Shide stroked his beard and smiled: "There is another point, there is a fight and killing on the grassland today, and it is normal to form an alliance and sue for peace tomorrow." Lu Bugu's tribe is a big tribe, and it has great prestige among the Khitan tribes, if Mo Si really seizes the position of Khan and suppresses the Asid tribe, Lu Bugu can only be appeased and recruited as much as possible, instead of fighting each other and forcing them to defect to our court.
Lu Bugu is not stupid, he must have thought of this, he knows that even if he expresses his loyalty to the Asid tribe now, it will not cut off his back road, so he now chooses to be loyal to the Asid tribe adjacent to him, that is, he will inevitably choose! β
Ye Yunbao hahadaxiao, holding a cup and said: "This time I retreated from the Turks, thanks to Shen Sanlang and Yang Erlang, Ye Mou toasts you a cup!" β
Shen Mu picked up the cup and said with a smile: "Miss Anu has made a lot of efforts, and she is involved in danger as a woman, we should give her a cup first, how can General Ye forget our heroine and heroine?" You should punish yourself with a cup first, and then give Miss Anu a cup to apologize! β
Tianainu was listening to them with a smile, and when he heard them talk about the topic to himself, he quickly shook his hand and said in the shape of a little lady: "The little woman is not strong enough to drink, but she can't drink so much wine, and people just want you to drink!" β
Ye Yunbao smiled: "Yes, yes, it's an oversight." However, the Turkic retreat is imminent, and he has to personally lead the troops to chase and kill, he really doesn't dare to drink more, he can only accompany a glass of wine at the moment, Ye will toast the three of you with this glass of water and wine, and then lead the troops to kill the enemy! Please! β
"Please!"
Seeing him say this, Shen Mu, Yang Fan, and Tian Ainu raised their glasses together and toasted him with a glass of wine, Ye Yunbao drank it all, wiped his mouth, and hugged his fist to Lou Shide and said, "Boss, the last general is gone!" β
Lou Shide smiled and said: "Poor Kou Mo is chasing from afar, Sha Qi Zhongyi must have been waiting in a hurry on the mountain of Juyan Overseas Gorge, so leave this fat meat for him to eat!" β
Ye Yunbao replied loudly: "The last general will obey the order!" β
The armor leaf was sonorous, Ye Yunbao strode out of the house, snatched the reins of the horse handed by the soldiers, turned over the horse, and galloped towards the city gate. Under the city gate, the stone at the top gate had been removed, and the four thousand cavalry lined up along the long street from the north gate to the south gate, with only a narrow gap in the middle.
Outside the city, because of Zhu Tu's inexplicable retreat, Moon and Mu Si were furious, but they had no choice but to hurriedly pack up and retreat north in a panic after Zhu Tu's army.
Ye Yunbao led more than ten horsemen to gallop past from the middle of the four thousand elite horsemen who were waiting for him, and when he arrived at the city, the horse's reins were reined, the front hooves of the war horse were in the air, and the people stood up, and Xi Yuyu let out a long neigh.
Ye Yunbao "choked" and pulled his sword out of the sheath, and shouted: "Open the city!" After! β
