Chapter 619: Advance and Retreat

Chapter 619

When the Western Regions Alliance learned that the Qin army had entered the city, they all showed a look of panic.

They also deeply remembered how terrible the combat power displayed when the Qin army encircled and suppressed the Xiongnu army last time.

In the tent of the Western Regions Alliance, the atmosphere was very silent.

More than a dozen kings of the Western Regions sat here, unable to utter a word.

The king of the mountain country was the first to speak: "Now that the vanguard army of the Qin army has entered Loulan City, the main force of the Qin army must be behind us, maybe Tilan has been destroyed, what should we do next?" ”

The Cheshi King looked at the kings and said, "Why don't we withdraw our troops?" Anyway, now that Loulan has been disabled by us, even if Loulan is not destroyed, it will be difficult to pose any threat to us. ”

"Retirement? Do you really think that as long as we withdraw our troops, Loulan and the Qin army will be forgotten? If the Qin army can rescue Loulan now, it will be able to help Loulan unify us again, and we will all die by then! ”

"That's right, you can't retreat, you have to continue fighting! But we're going to change our strategy. ”

"What strategy? King Pishan. ”

King Pishan said: "We attacked Loulan before to destroy Loulan, but now the Qin army is here, but the advantage is still on our side." ”

"For the sake of Daqin's face, we can not destroy Loulan, but we must let Loulan recognize our independence!"

"Good way! As long as Loulan recognizes our independence! Even if Loulan has Qin Jun to help! You can't send troops against us anymore! The kings suddenly felt their mouths open, and they were all very excited.

At this moment, the guards outside came in and reported: "Qi Qi kings, the Tubo generals ask to see you." ”

"Tibetans

What to do? ”

"It seems that they have also received the news, and they are probably coming to us to discuss countermeasures."

"Humph! If there is anything to discuss, just tell them to withdraw and go back. ”

"After all, people are here to assist us in attacking Loulan, so let's see each other."

After the Tubo generals came in, they stood in front of the kings and said directly: "I heard that the Qin army has come to support Loulan, what are you going to do?" ”

"Since the general knows, then we won't hide it. We intend to force Loulan to negotiate peace with us and recognize our independence. King Pishan said.

The Tibetan general asked, "Then the kings mean that they don't want to fight?" ”

"That's right, I don't want to fight. After all, the Qin army is coming, and we can fight with Loulan, but we don't want to fight with the Qin army, so when we are still in an advantage, peace is the best choice. The King of Coaches said.

"Hahahaha!"

The Tibetan generals laughed out loud and said, "Do you really think that if you negotiate peace with Loulan, the Qin army will not send troops to you?" ”

"What do you mean, General!" King Wusun asked with a frown.

"In my opinion, Loulan's request for help from the Qin army this time has already lured the wolf into the house."

"Even if you don't fight, the Qin army will never withdraw from the Western Regions, but will take advantage of the gap between your respective independence to swallow the entire Western Regions!" The Tibetan general smiled.

The kings of the Western Regions were violently violent, because what the Tibetan generals said may not be unreasonable.

The Western Regions here controlled the lifeblood of the Qin people's westward business, and the money could be said to be a lot of money.

Now that the Qin people have the opportunity to open up the Western Regions to do business in the west, they will definitely not give up.

The Tibetan general smiled

"Several kings, if you want to live, you can only unite with me Tubo and destroy Loulan first!" Then drive the Qin army out! ”

Faced with the proposal of the Tibetan generals, the kings of the Western Regions hesitated.

Joining forces with Tubo is tantamount to seeking skin with the tiger, but if they don't join forces with Tubo, they themselves will not be able to defeat the Qin army, and they may still be exterminated by the Qin army at that time.

At this time, the king of the chariot division said: "We need to discuss the matter of joining forces, and the general should go back and wait for news." ”

The Tubo general smiled: "I can wait, after all, we are only here to exterminate Loulan, if we can't destroy it, we can go back, but you will be in danger." ”

King Pishan said coldly: "Since the Tubo army is here to exterminate Loulan, why don't the Tubo army capture Loulan City to prove their strength?" ”

"As long as the Tubo army captures Loulan! If we join forces with the Tibetans, we may be able to repel the Qin army. ”

"Good! Although my Tibetan army doesn't have to prove anything in front of you, our army will still capture Loulan City, and Loulan City will be my Tubo at that time! The Tibetan general flicked his horsewhip, and after speaking, he turned around and went out directly.

After the Tibetan generals left, the big tent fell silent again, and everyone's faces were full of sorrow.

Early the next morning, the Tibetan army launched an attack on Loulan City.

It's just that the siege method of the Tibetan army is also extremely backward, and it is on par with the Western Regions coalition army.

After Han Xin's redeployment and Han Xin's personal inspection of various city heads, Loulan's city defense has made a qualitative leap.

The Tubo army had observed the defense of Loulan before, and had also tried to attack the city twice, and even studied both of them

The method of siege.

Therefore, the Tibetan generals are very confident in this siege, and they are confident that they can capture Loulan City today.

However, when the army pressed on the siege, the Tibetan generals were immediately stunned.

The way the Loulan defenders defended the city was unexpectedly changed, causing heavy losses to the Tubo army, but the Tubo army was unable to inflict heavy casualties on the Loulan defenders.

Moreover, the siege launched by the Tubo army in the south of the city of Loulan, Han Xin happened to be stationed here in person, how could the Tubo army succeed.

Han Xin stood at the head of the city, looked at the Tubo soldiers and horses under the city, and said with a smile: "Is this the Tubo army?" It's the same as the barbarians. ”

After the Tibetans attacked the city for two hours, they hastily withdrew after leaving behind more than 3,000 corpses.

The strength of the Tibetan army attacking the city was completely incomparable to the siege strength of the Central Plains, so Han Xin felt that it was very easy to defend the city this time.

Han Xin asked the herald on the side, "What about the other directions?" ”

"Back to the general, the Western Regions coalition forces in other directions did not attack the city."

Han Xin frowned, the Western Regions Alliance Army did not attack the city, but the Tubo army was attacking the city, could it be that the Tubo and the Western Regions Alliance Army did not agree.

Compared with Han Xin's relaxation, the mood of the Tibetan generals was very heavy.

The strength of the Tibetan army this time was only 10,000, and it lost 3,000 men and horses in two hours, which was a huge loss.

"What's going on! What's going on! The Tibetan general asked loudly in the tent, but no one could answer him.

At this time, the Western Regions Coalition Army sent people over.

The king of Tubo thought that the people from the Western Regions had come to laugh at him, and almost killed this person.

However, this person has not been killed, it turns out that the Western Regions Alliance has been thinking about it all night

, and finally decided to continue fighting.
