Ye Yunbao said with his hands in full swing: "If you pretend to be Mu Si, you will definitely provoke a vicious battle between the two sides, and then I will fight the two passes and the two armies together, and kill him on his back!" ”

Yang Fan looked at him, and it took a lot of effort to hide his idiot eyes, and asked: "When the Turkic soldiers came to the city, I led people out of the city dressed as Mu Si, and launched an attack on the Asid Department from the direction of Mu Si's camp?" ”

Ye Yunbao is a soldier, his intuitive idea is to attack and fight, listening to Yang Fan's words, he realized that something was wrong, he frowned and said: "Not bad!" It's a problem, it doesn't matter if you secretly let out a few people, and it's okay if you directly open the city to attack, but ......"

He stroked his beard and thought about it, and said, "When the Turkic soldiers come to the city, they will camp outside the two gates, and we will send all the troops and horses out of the city, and we will move under the noses of Moon and Musi, and we must not alarm them, and then pretend to be them to attack the Asid department, this ...... It's a little difficult. ”

He walked around twice, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "What if you take some people out of the city to ambush before they besiege the city?" Their army of 100,000 people, the daily consumption of grain and grass is huge, they will not stop at the mouth of the flying fox all the time, they will attack the city in a few days, you only bring ten days of rations is enough! ”

Yang Fan saw that his thinking had always stayed on the point of attacking by relying on his appearance to be the same as Mu Si, so he said euphemistically: "It's not impossible if I take all the people out of the city and lurk in the wilderness first, but in that case, I can only attack the enemy's rear road." An army of 100,000 overwhelmed the city, and it took ten miles to set up camp.

Our soldiers and horses are already limited, and we have to defend the city, so I can't bring many men, and if we engage the rear army of the Turks, there will be a distance of more than ten miles. Will there be time to respond? Again. Obviously, our army is current, and Ashina will attack the Ashid Department at this time? Their leader isn't an idiot, it's not going to work. ”

Ye Yunbao frowned when he heard this. said: "Yes, this method is indeed full of flaws. However, the fact that you look the same as Muss has been reminded by you. I really think it's a lot to use. In that case, don't leave yet, and stay in the post house first, let me think of a way! ”

Ye Yunbao thought that it was three days, and three days later, the Turks attacked the city.

Jutu and his army finally arrived, and Moon's side had also made some siege equipment, and when they came, they were loaded with carts. Originally, some parts of the key parts of the siege equipment were brought, but at this time, they only cut wood to make some thick brackets and levers, so the craftsmen quickly rushed to build a batch. So the two sides didn't stop for a moment. Immediately invented the threat and launched an attack.

Mingwei Forts are actually two forts, specifically. One is called Mingwei and the other is called Wu'an, which together are called Baiting. Between the two is the steep Shilazi Mountain, and the mountain is built with a city wall. Don't say it's winter, just splash some water down the mountain, and make the stone wall slippery as ice, and it is impossible to climb it even in the hot summer, and it is impossible to climb up such a steep mountain, and a small number of defenders can deal with it, so the Turks will not attack from here.

Their offensive route can only be Mingwei and Wu'an, two small cities in the middle of the Shilazi Mountain, left and right are the desert and some Yumai mountains of Helan Mountain, if you want to enter Longyou and take Liangzhou, these two passes are the only way.

The two small cities of the Tang army relied on the fortress mountain to be heavily defended, defended against danger, and were horns of each other. Huge stones against the city gate, there are many spare weapons piled up next to the racetrack, rolling wood and stones are all over the city wall, and the dish fort, arrow tower, city gate and other places are well defended, and it looks impregnable.

The Turkic army under the city is ten miles away, and you can't see the edge at a glance when you look down from the city, with felt tents, groups of cavalry galloping back and forth, fluttering flags, and spears and halberds, pressing a huge murderous aura to the head of the city, and what is especially frightening is the tall stone thrower, moving arrow tower, and city crashing vehicle.

This kind of stone-throwing cart is purely human-pulled, and it takes more than 200 people to cast it, while the Turks replaced manpower with war horses, and dozens of war horses can make a stone-throwing cart effective. When the Tang army fought against Goguryeo, it also used this kind of stone thrower, which caused great damage to the humble walled city of Goguryeo.

This kind of stone thrower first appeared in the Warring States Period, so the Turks also learned to make and use it very early, and it can launch more than 300 catties of stone at a time. Although there are no stones available in the desert and the Gobi steppe in front of them, there are some stones under this mountain, although large stones are not easy to collect, but as many as more than 300 catties of scattered stones are thrown up, although they do not cause much damage to the city, the damage effect on the defenders is multiplied.

Stone-throwing machines and bed crossbows were also placed in the city, but compared to the Turkic army, one was a fixed target and the other was a moving target, and the lethal effect was obviously much inferior.

The war drums roared in the city, the trumpets sounded under the city, and the battle unfolded in the two cities of Wu'an and Mingwei at the same time.

Stones flew in the sky, and the city was covered with blood from the flowing flames, rolling stones, arrows and corpses everywhere in the sky. Smashed, abandoned ladders, crashing cars, and trenches were scattered all over the place.

Yang Fan and Tian Ainu stood in the city tower, frowning and looking at everything in front of them, it was the army of Moon and Musi who attacked this side, because the army of Zhu Tu Dayehu of the Asid Department had just arrived after a long march, and their physical strength was exhausted, so the main direction of attack was obviously on Moon Ann's side.

They fought fiercely, and one of the walls was breached by several ladders and flying grabs, and the Turks ascended the city under the cover of a rain of arrows, and rushed in desperately, and if they only captured one point, their army would soon occupy the whole city. Ye Yunbao commanded outside in full armor, transferred a reserve team over, quickly cleared the Turkic soldiers who had climbed to the top of the city, and pushed the ladder away from the city wall. Then, barrels of oil, pieces of wood, and rolling stones were transported over.

Tian Ainu's eyes suddenly looked into the distance and pointed: "Look there! ”

Yang Fan raised his eyes and saw a watchtower erected in the camp of the Turks, three zhang higher than the city wall, and there were several people standing on the watchtower, looking at the head of the city, observing the deployment and battle of the defenders in the city. Looking over from here, the people on the watchtower are just a few small figures, and they can't even see their robes clearly, let alone their faces.

Yang Fan said: "Standing on the top of the watchtower, it should be Moon, Musi and several Turkic generals. ”

Tian Ainu glanced at him and asked, "Are you still fighting that idea?" ”

Yang Fan said: "I always feel that this method can be used, but I can't think of how to use it." ”

Yang Fan pointed to a soldier at the city wall, his companion had been killed in battle, he couldn't move the wood alone, and the other soldiers didn't have time to replenish it, seeing a Turkic soldier climbing the ladder on the city wall, he had to give up the wood, grab the big knife and rush up.

Yang Fan said: "I'm like him now, obviously I have a very powerful weapon in my hand, and I can kill and injure one piece if I smash it, but I can't use it, so I have to fight hard like this!" ”

Tian Ainu stood beside him, glanced at him secretly, coughed and said, "I thought Shen Mu was with you, so I followed you all the way to Turkic...... There's a Turkic girl. ”

Yang Fan was still thinking hard about how to use his appearance to deal with the Turks, and when he heard her mention Mu Heyue, he remembered the extremely beautiful scene, and his heart was empty, and he hurriedly replied calmly: "Yes, she is...... She is the daughter of Moon, the commander of the Turkic soldiers, and the fiancΓ©e of Musi. ”

"Oh......"

Tian Ainu said: "She...... Didn't notice you were fake, did you? ”

Yang Fan snorted and said, "How is that possible?" I ...... with her Belch...... And there wasn't much contact. ”

Tian Ainu said: "Aren't she and Mu Si already engaged?" There are not as many rules on the grassland as in our Central Plains, and she doesn't have any affectionate behavior with you, Musi? ”

Yang Fan's mind suddenly flashed many fragrant pictures of the ox cart when it was galloping lightly, and he hurriedly cleared it up: "Of course not." The girl Heyue is different from ordinary grassland women, her father is the head of the Muaha tribe, she ...... marrying Musi is clearly to make an alliance between her father Moon and Musi's father Mosi, and it is for this reason that they are ......"

Tian Ainu waited for a while, but when he didn't see him continue, he couldn't help but ask, "What about this?" ”

After she finished asking, she still didn't see Yang Fan answer, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at him, and saw Yang Fan looking at the battlefield in front of her fixedly without saying a word, and couldn't help but ask worriedly, "What's wrong?" ”

Yang Fan said slowly: "Don't speak, you let me think about it, I seem to have thought of a way." ”

Yang Fan thought quietly for a while, and said, "I think, I have a way to get them to retreat!" ”

Tian Ainu said in surprise: "What way?" ”

Yang Fan said: "The queen of the Turkic royal family Ashina has always been selected from the Ashid tribe, because the Ashid tribe is the most powerful Turkic tribe outside the Ashina tribe, and their marriage is for the purpose of forming an alliance. ”

Tian Ainu said: "Not bad! ”

Yang Fan said: "The Turkic Khan Gu Lu is seriously ill, this time it is likely that he will not be able to hold on, his younger brother Mo Si wants to obtain the position of Khan, and the Ashide Department must be on the side of Gu Lulu's son, because they are in-laws." In this way, Mo Si had to enlist foreign aid, and he chose the third powerful tribe after Ashina and Ashid, and formed an alliance with him! ”

"And then?"

"I think I know the purpose of his army this time, one is to fight a big victory and win the position of Khan for him, and the other is to find an excuse to transfer the main forces of the Asid Department, so as not to interfere with their own seizure of the Khan throne!"

"And then?"

A few stray arrows flew in, and the "tuk tuk" was nailed into the window lattice next to the two of them, but the two of them stood quietly, and neither of them moved.

Yang Fan turned sideways, faced Tian Ainu, and said with a smile: "I don't need to send anyone out of the city, I just need to pretend to be Mu Si, and spread the news that Gu Lu has been violently killed, silently seized the position, and squeezed out the relatives of the Gu Lu tribe to the ears of the Ashide people, and their 100,000 army will be withdrawn like water!" ”
