Chapter 165: The Seventh Battalion

After a month of attacking, paying the price of tens of thousands of people, and conquering six military camps of the Tang Army in a row, the army led by Mutu finally arrived under the city of Jingzhou.

The joy of victory and success was so strong that Mutu turned a blind eye to the seventh Tang army camp outside Jingzhou.

If it weren't for the fear that the Tang army in the camp would affect the critical troubles in the siege, Mu Tu wouldn't even want to deal with these jumping clowns who hindered him all the way.

However, he was quickly relieved, it was just some guys who delayed and blocked him, the six Tang camps were taken, and although the seventh one was a little bigger, what could it be?

He thinks that seven is a good number, just the Tang Army sacrifice flag in the seventh Tang camp!

Immediately after setting up camp, Mutu ordered the construction of equipment.

It's just that what Mu Tu doesn't know is that the Tang Army camp he is facing is far from being comparable to ordinary military camps.

This large battalion that the Tang army began to build since it arrived at the city of Jingzhou, has been two months since the establishment of the camp, and under the continuous processing of the engineers in the engineering battalion, it has become a real fortress.

In a large camp, it is divided into countless small battalions, battalion after battalion, battalion after battalion.

Between the camps, there are a large number of watchtowers, shooting platforms, eight-bull crossbows, catapults, and many important locations have been reinforced with double or even triple layers of hardwood.

It is completely wishful thinking to attack a city in one battle with the so-called resolute siege equipment.

If you want to break through this promise, you must have a small village, and a small village must keep attacking.

In fact, it was not only Mutu who had the idea of underestimating the enemy, but also the Tubo soldiers who set out from Xiaoguan to defeat the Tang army in a row, won six battles and six victories, and occupied six small battalions of the Tang army.

In order to be as efficient as possible, this time Mutu made an exception and did not order the siege the next day, but waited for a whole day and a night, and it was not until the early morning of the third day that the attack really began.

Of course, Mutu's wait was not without effect, two nights, one day, a full forty throwing towers stood in the center of the battlefield!

Then the Tibetan army began a morning-long frenzied shooting at the Tang army's camp with a full forty towers, and in the eyes of the Tibetan soldiers, everything was as before, but after the attack began, they found that they were wrong.

The Tang army, which was supposed to be stoned to death, was still alive because the fortifications that should have been destroyed were still there.

Although the Tang army did not first defend the enemy with a dense array of arrows as before, this kind of small-scale battalion-by-battalion battle was a nightmare for the Tibetan soldiers.

From the beginning of the attack, the Tibetan soldiers were attacked head-on, and the small battalions with a series of layouts made it difficult for them to move.

For every small battalion captured, at least a hundred lives were paid.

The Tibetan soldiers attacked again and again, paying a great price.

In the battle for each battalion, in just one day, more than 2,000 Tubo soldiers were killed and wounded in the Tang army camp.

You must know that these people did not die in the large-scale arrow array of the Tang Army, but died in face-to-face hand-to-hand combat, and were killed head-on by the Tang Army's Mo knives, spears, spears, and rifles!

The Tubo soldiers were not good at attacking fortifications, and they were like a bamboo with their winning streak before, but they didn't expect the nightmare that the Tang army camp in front of them agreed with.

After watching the battle for three days, even the ten thousand households who commanded the cavalry really couldn't watch it.

"Maben, do you want to rest for a little two days?"

At the beginning of the sentence of the cavalry Wanhu, a group of Tibetan nobles and generals around him begged one after another.

"Yes, Maben, rest for a few days......"

"The boys are so tired!"

"Tang Jun is too desperate!"

However, in the face of such a plea, Mu Tulian's eyes changed so much, and he still stared at Jingzhou City in the distance, and said coldly.

"Why stop?"

"Maben, in three days, more than 5,000 sons have died in battle, and at least half of the Tang army's camp is left, I'm afraid that if we don't wait to break through the Tang army's camp, the sons and daughters will ......"

Halfway through the words, Wan Hu saw that Mu Tu's face was not good, and his tone changed.

"Why don't you take a break, order someone to supervise the transportation of grain and grass, make some supplements, and by the way, build more siege equipment, and then fight the Tang army camp, maybe you can break it in one battle?"

"Yes, what Asma Wanhu said is very true."

The surrounding circle of Tibetan nobles responded,

"Maben, Jingzhou City is already in Maben's bag, it is better to rest overnight and continue to attack tomorrow morning. Presumably, those Tang troops can't stand it...... As long as it takes another day or two, the Tang army camp will definitely be able to break through. ”

Turning his gaze from Jingzhou back to the Tang Army camp, and then looking at the group of his subordinates in front of him, Mu Tu knew that these guys in front of him were already timid.

Mutu is not blind, how can he not see the change in morale, after the Tubo soldiers continued to attack, but they were never able to break through the Tang army camp, their morale has been somewhat low.

He knew that if he continued to fight, his morale might be even lowered, and he knew that if he continued to fight, his morale might collapse, but now he had no choice.

Coupled with the earlier winning streak, everyone, including himself, was proud and made him ignore too many details.

The resilience of the Tang Army, the design of the battalion, the use of psychology, coupled with the current position and three days of thinking, Mu Tu knew that he was likely to be fooled!

He only cared about moving forward, and his empty rear had been completely exposed in front of Tang Jun!

The Tang army is indeed delaying time, but the purpose of delaying time is not to prevent himself from arriving in Jingzhou, but to leave himself in Jingzhou to death!

As for what Tang Jun wanted to do, Mu Tu didn't dare to think about it, because he didn't know until it was too late!

He suddenly remembered that the fiasco on the steppe was really similar to this time, a full five thousand cavalry, and they were surrounded on the steppe!

At that time, I panicked, so the 5,000 Tibetan cavalry was almost wiped out, so now I don't panic.

If he dared to retreat, he bet that the Tang army would definitely pursue at all costs and beat the water dogs.

On the contrary, there is still a chance to fight - take the Tang army camp in one go, and then capture Jingzhou City!

Looking around at the tired soldiers, he looked up again and looked ahead, and under the setting sun, the Tang army camp was shrouded in a bloody light.

"Bastard, fool, if you stop, will the Tang Army stop?"

Mutu's words stunned all the generals and leaders.

"Let me ask you, do you want to take the initiative to attack the Tang Army, or do you want to be cut off and cut off your head by the sneak attack Tang Army in your sleep?"

Thinking of the Tang Army's counterattack in the dark night, the Tubo people shuddered.

"We are tired, the Tang army is also tired, our sons will die from swords and guns, and the Tang army will also die if their heads are cut off by a big knife, tell all the sons and daughters, take the Tang army camp in front of us, and Jingzhou City will have fallen into our hands!"

The offensive that was supposed to stop at night did not stop today, and the battle continued from dusk to late at night, the firelight almost illuminated the camp, and the two armies launched a frantic battle in the night!

However, under the cover of night, outside the camp, groups of Tang troops had quietly lurked on the periphery of the camp.
