Chapter 285: The Decisive Battle

He stroked his mustache and couldn't help but get a little excited.

On Mangluo, who was leading the troops in front, gritted his teeth, eager to fly up to the city and tear Xiao Yunhe and others to pieces. Not long ago, when he was in Qishan, he was played hard. Not only did he lose tens of thousands of horses in a big defeat, but he also lost his dearest brother, and later he was exhausted and was actually captured by Li Sheng with a shot. It's a shame, and the enemy is right now!

If it weren't for Zampu's order, he would have galloped up with this 10,000-iron horse now, and used the best cavalry of the Tubo spirit cavalry to shoot Xiao Yunhe into a hornet's nest first.

But at this moment, an order came from the rear - "Stop!"

He was a little annoyed and angry, but he had to rein in his horse to stop the army, and he was secretly dissatisfied in his heart: What do you want to play today?

10,000 Tibetan cavalry stopped a stone's throw away from Xuanmen Pass. The Tang army on the closing of the Xuanmen still did not show his head.

Trisong Dezan couldn't help but laugh: "Interesting, very interesting." I've never fought such an interesting battle. ”

Xi Nuo, who had been silently beside him, said a little depressedly: "Zampu, it's not too difficult for the 180,000 army to destroy this Xuanmen Pass. Why is Zampu ?......"

Trisong Dezan looked at the Tibetan god of war with a smile on his face and said, "Old general, don't be in a hurry. It seems peaceful now, but in fact, I am fighting wits with Xiao Yunhe and competing for patience. Whoever can't hold his breath first will let the other party have a little psychological advantage. Xiao Yunhe, it's a character, it's not bad, it's not in vain. ”

Although he is over fifty years old, he is still very strong and strong. The long beard with a slight gray color also added a bit of majesty and solemnity to him. He is the most relied on confidant of Trisong Detsen, the military god in the minds of the Tibetan people. One of the biggest reasons is that twenty years ago (the first year of Guangde), he led his army to break through the national capital, which is known as the first city in the world. Since then, he has also given himself a Chinese name: Ma Chongying.

Ron Sino touched his gray beard and laughed: "Zampu, I know you're playing with him, enjoy the pleasure of being a hunter." However, the old minister couldn't hold it back. The old minister wants to rush to the Xuanmen Pass now, capture Xiao Yunhe's little hand, and dedicate it to Zampu!"

"Old general, are you going to step forward in person?" Trisong Dezan looked at Lun Xinuo and said with a meaningful smile, "Then please! My Tibetan military god is invited to fight, where am I not allowed? Please ask the old general to bring 10,000 siege teams, plus 10,000 cavalry archers to start the siege!"

"Yes!" said in his old and thick voice, "Sons, take out the courage of the plateau lion and break through the Xuanmen Pass!"

In the Tibetan army, there was a terrifying roar!

Xiao Yunhe's eyes narrowed, and there was a cold look in his eyes: It's finally here!

Those who have been drifting on the sea all year round will be amazed by the immeasurable sea. The raging waves and earth-shattering waves were enough to destroy a qiΔ“. The soldiers of Xichuan are far away in the interior, and few people have seen the sea.

Today, however, they witnessed with their own eyes a surging crowd of black and oppressed cavalry, like a rolling angry wave, and in addition to the shouting and killing sound that was more terrifying than the loud noise of the waves, there were countless swords, guns, swords, and halberds rolling.

The sound, the murderous aura, almost turned into a visible wave of qi, rushing towards the front of the Xuanmen Gate. The Tubo people, who were rough by nature, rode their equally fierce war horses, like a demonic beast opening its bloody mouth and roaring, killing them with a sharp fang that could tear the heavens and the earth!

"Fight!" Xiao Yunhe waved his arm and let out an angry shout from his throat!

This shout was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, instantly condensing the minds of all the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army to one point.

A stone's throw away - disappear in an instant. Standing on the Xuanmen Gate, which is more than three feet high, you can almost see the green tendons of the hands of the Tubo people holding steel knives exposed, and when they hear their roars, they are hysterical like wild beasts!

The first to arrive at the city gate were the cavalry of the Mangluo. These people have already gathered too much strength in their arms. At this time, the bows and arrows in their hands had all reached the full moon. The overwhelming number of arrows had already shot towards the head of the Xuanmen Pass.

The entrance was closed, and the front row of soldiers on the edge of the wall erected a large iron shield one person high, forming an impermeable iron wall. More than seventy percent of the arrows of the Tibetan people shot on the iron shield wall, making a loud sound of splitting and pulling. Occasionally, a few arrows would penetrate through the gaps, and some Tang soldiers would fall to the ground screaming, either dead or wounded.

Under the cover of flying horses. The 10,000 siege troops led by Ronfannuo have been killed in front of the Xuanmen Pass. More than 30 ladders quickly set up the city. The brave Tubo people bit the steel knife and began to climb up quickly.

"Ballista!" Xiao Yunhe personally held flags of different colors and shouted angrily to command all troops to fight together.

As soon as the shouting was finished, a row of Tang Army soldiers pushed ballista carts and rushed forward from among the Tang Army brothers holding iron shields. At the edge of the city, a number of exposed holes came out. The crossbow of the Tang army shot out of the hole with precision. There are long arrows of hard crossbows nearly three feet long. It made a sharp whistling sound and shot at the Tibetan people.

The entrance closed, and there was a burst of screams!

The Tibetan cavalry, which was rushing forward, crashed head-on into the powerful crossbows, and many people and horses were shot through alive. Moreover. After being pierced by the flying crossbow, his body was also nailed to the ground. Before he died, he was still struggling desperately, but he couldn't move half a minute. I could only watch as my blood splashed and stained the ground under the closed entrance.

The Tubo people are accustomed to using cone-shaped charging formations, and there are more and more people from front to back. Hit ahead. Those in the back can be bypassed from a wider area, not tripping over the front troops, and not easily stepping on the wounded or dead. So. Although the ballista struck a group of Tibetan archers who rushed to the forefront, it did not slow down their attack. The rain of arrows still kept shooting at the city. The swift and domineering arrows could even fly over the city and penetrate the iron armor of the Tang army, injuring people to death. The walls of the garrison at the head of the Xuanmen Pass were already full of arrows, and they became like thorns. Where Xiao Yunhe stood, four iron shield hands held up the cards and swore to protect him, and arrows were scattered all around. Xiao Yunhe was unharmed. Still holding the banner to command the head of the city to defend against the enemy-

"Bow and arrow!"

The ballista retreated very quickly, armed with arrows. The crossbowmen quickly stepped forward, and the soldiers of the Tang Army, who had gathered enough strength, couldn't wait to shoot all the arrows in their hands in an instant, and they all shouted angrily and shot wildly.

I want to compare it to a Tibetan horse archer. The bow and arrow skills of this group of Tang army defenders are a little worse. But fortunately, he condescendingly borrowed a bit of strength, and the Tubo people were directly exposed to the range. It's easier to kill!

The gate was closed, and a rain of arrows that was not inferior also pounced on the Tubo people. This time, the Tubo people wearing simple leather robes and wooden armor suffered a little. Two thousand archers fired together, and in front of the Xuanmen, which was only one or two miles wide, it was still quite powerful. The Tibetan archers who were galloping at the forefront let out a burst of screams, and people turned on their backs. Many horses were shot and fell to the ground when they lost their center of gravity. Directly lift the cavalry on the seat into the air, smash it to the ground and fall to death, trample to death, or be crushed into meat sauce by the tumbling and fallen horses.

The charging of the Tibetan cavalry was strongly contained. The Tang army at the head of the city obviously felt that the rain of bows and arrows shot had become much thinner. However, there were still Tang soldiers who fell to the ground with arrows and screamed to death. One by one, the cold and hard iron arrows were inserted into the flesh and blood of the Tang Army. The skin was pierced all the way to the viscera and even through the skull.

When the entrance closed, there was also a burst of blood and mist, and screams broke out.

However, as soon as someone falls, someone immediately fills his vacancy. Whether it is the regimental player holding the shield or the archer who shoots arrows, the Tang army facing the enemy in front has never been reduced. 10,000 people were divided into five teams by Xiao Yunhe. There is a special team of substitutes in the back to replace the brothers who died in the front. This is how the fortification of the city is, there must be no gaps. Once there is a gap, it is easy to be broken through by the enemy. And if the wall is broken a little, it will mean that there is a high probability that the whole line will collapse.

The Tibetan siege troops led by Xi Nuo had already climbed half of the tower. The soldiers of the Tang Army, who were in charge of the quality card, were inevitably a little panicked. But thinking of it, the King of Han once told him to listen to the order when he was fighting - I believe that the King of Han will definitely have ideas and arrangements!

Xiao Yunhe didn't understand that the real key to the city defense battle was to kill the enemy's ladders and the men and horses who climbed the city. But he also knew that if he attacked rashly now, the Tubo people would only climb halfway and would not be able to cause them more damage. Moreover, now is also the time when the Tibetan cavalry is at its most powerful. Remove the shield and start the battle at the head of the city, and your own losses will become great!

As a result, the first batch of Tubo people who began to climb the tower were almost climbed to the top of the three-zhang high city with little resistance.

Xiao Yunhe raised the green flag in his hand and shouted: "Gun array!"

"Roarβ€”roar!" the neat cry peculiar to the gunburst rang out on the closing of the entrance. The archers quickly retreated. Two thousand gunmen stepped forward. It was at this moment that the shield-bearer pulled the shield at an angle with a very tacit understanding, revealing a gap more than one person wide, allowing the spearmen to thrust from there.

Seeing that the Tubo people were about to ascend the city pass, they were in a burst of ecstasy in their hearts, and suddenly a row of iron spears stabbed at their heads, causing them to let out a burst of exclamations and screams. The iron spear is thick and long. With the help of the impact of rushing up a few steps from behind, it was enough to knock down a ladder. Some Tibetans had just landed on the city with one hand and were about to swing their swords to slash, but they found that in addition to the iron shield in front of them, only the cold light of the spear stabbed at their chest!

Suddenly, many Tubo people who had just emerged in the city. was pierced through the body in an instant by the thick and domineering spear, and fell down screaming. There were also some ladders, which were stabbed by spears and overturned backwards. The force of this rush is too strong, and the ladder is relatively soft. The Tubo people in the place below couldn't hold it at all. In mid-air, the Tubo people who grabbed the ladder and fell down let out a desperate scream, and then fell to the ground and fell to pieces. There are some Tibetans who have been shot and fallen. Smash your brother below to the ground. More than 100 catties of things weighed heavily from a place three feet high, and the strength was so strong. It is also easy to stone people to death.

Siege of a city often costs more than 10 times the price of a field battle! Among them, more than 30 percent of the locals will die from the corpses of their own people! -- those who have been in battle for a long time will understand this!

Not far away, Trisong Dezan squinted. calmly looked at the siege scene in front of him, and said with a sigh: "Xiao Yunhe, Xiao Yunhe, I didn't expect you to actually make a city defense battle so orderly." I can't tell that you're young. So experienced. It seems that I still underestimate you. ”

On the side, Shang Jiezan was finally a little unconvinced. said in a low voice: "Zan Pu has always been full of praise for Xiao Yunhe-isn't it to increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige!"

"Presumptuous!" Trisong Detsen said these two words almost in a poetic tone, and then said with a slightly cold gaze, "Knowing and respecting your opponent is the prerequisite for victory." Shang Jiezan, although you are an old minister, you should never forget your identity!"

Shang Jiezan Chuyan's body trembled, and he was almost about to fall off the horse. It was the first time Zampu had reprimanded him so harshly - although his tone was soft, the words were enough to kill!

Shang Jiezan immediately shut up and obediently bowed his head and apologized.

Trisong Detsen snorted coldly and said, "Send 10,000 more men to Lun Sinuo and Lun Manluo." With 20,000 people alone, I'm afraid it won't be enough to capture Xuanmen Pass. ”

"Yes!" This time, Shang Jiezan didn't dare to be the slightest bit trembling, and immediately patted his horse to give the order in person.

Tri Song Dezan showed a cold smile and said to himself, "I am not the old man of the Great Qi Emperor. There can never be arrogant, uninhibited and disobedient courtiers around me. ”

Another wave of people rushed to the Xuanmen Pass. The Tibetans have increased their troops.

When the gate was closed, the fight became even more tragic. Tubo's cavalry shooting was really accurate and sharp, and the shield bearers who were in the front of the block died batch after batch. Almost all the reserve soldiers in the back have to go up. At the same time, the wounded soldiers of the Tang Army were also quickly evacuated, dragged down the city by Gao Gu and others, and sent to the city for rescue and treatment.

The battle at the Xuanmen Gate, although urgent and bloody, has always been orderly. Under the fire of more than 10,000 people in Tufan, although the casualties of the Tang Army were relatively heavy, the combat effectiveness was not greatly damaged. Archers and spears took turns to protect the city.

It was at this time that more cloud ladders were put up at the head of the Xuanmen Gate. Because the ladders became very dense, the Tibetans climbed up almost one after another.

Xiao Yunhe immediately broke off, waved the white flag and shouted: "Splash oil, smash wood!"

The spearmen abandoned their spears, lifted huge blocks of wood and stones, and threw them downward. He picked up the boiling oil and poured it on the heads of the Tibetans.

This time the screams were even more violent than ever! Huge and heavy rolling wooden stones fell down, often killing several people at once and knocking over several ladders. Falling to the ground, a burst of blood splattered out like juice. The hot oil can already be used to fry fried fritters. At this time, it fell on the body of Tubo, emitting bursts of black smoke and sound, and the pungent smell of burning came out, and the skin and flesh of the Tubo people were opened, and the death was extremely miserable. Even if you are lucky enough not to be drenched, as long as you get a little bit on your head and face, it will hurt your heart. And this kind of pain is no better than the sword wound that can be endured by excitement. When the boiling oil falls on the head and face, it will continue to burn into the flesh until it reaches the bone! It is the kind of severe pain that is devoured layer by layer and keeps intensifying to make people hurt to the bone!

The Tibetans let out a huge scream, which made people feel terrified to hear. On the battlefield, a smell of burnt paste and black smoke also began to fill.

"Ignite the fire!" Xiao Yunhe waved the flag again, and the soldiers followed the order. He took the ladder at the head of the city and burst into flames. Some of the Tibetans, who were still climbing despite death, let out a cry of terror, and jumped down regardless of how high they were. The fire went down the ladder and ignited all the ground stained with fire oil, along with the Tibetan people and horses!

The soaring fire erupted in front of the Xuanmen Gate. The Tibetan people seemed to have fallen into the hell of Abi, struggling frantically.

"Boy, it's ruthless!" Trisong Dezan's face also twitched slightly, and he ordered very decisively, "Take advantage of the fire, throw firewood, and burn the city gate!"

Almost at the same time, Xiao Yunhe raised the flag: "Xiasha!"

He had already prepared! How could such an oil not affect his city gate if it was poured down and burned?!

Bags of wet river sand were poured down the top of the city gates. The little fire that the Tibetans consciously attracted to this side was instantly covered by the sand that was laid down. Moreover, the city gate has always been the focus of archers' defense. The archers on the arrow towers on both sides of the sentry box did nothing else, and specially fired arrows at this place. The Tubo people died in vain a group of people who wanted to burn the city gate, but they returned in vain.

As long as there is one person left, I must attack the city!"

This time, even Xiao Yunhe also realized what is the real madness and fierceness of the Tubo people. Although I have fought a few battles with them before, I have used tactics to deal with them left and right. This face-to-face confrontation truly reflects their beastly style.

The Tibetan soldiers, braving the rain of arrows above their heads, trampled on the corpses of their comrades, and rushed into the fire in front of the city with a shout. Many of them were on fire, but almost no one retreated. More cloud ladders caught up at the head of the city, and the Tubo people, who were not afraid of death, rushed up without their lives. At the same time, their cavalry became more and more ferocious. The head of the city of Xuanmen is densely packed with arrows. Even the big iron shield of the Tang Army was shot out of many holes and turned into a sieve.

Under the head of the city, the corpses became mountains, and rivers of blood flowed. There is also a pungent smell of burning. Corpses were scattered all around. However, once the Tibetan people faced the war, there was no humanity at all. They even held the corpses of their companions against the arrows in front of them. What's more, the corpses of the fallen soldiers were tied into piles and used as the foundation of the ladder and the cushion of human flesh.

Some Tang troops went to the battlefield for the first time. At this time, the whole person became numb. The corpses, blood, stumps, and internal organs that could be seen in their eyes made them vomit with disgust and guts.

Xiao Yunhe knows that this is almost an instinctive reaction of people, and he can't blame these people for being timid. Even if they don't see the corpse, many people will vomit with disgust when they smell this smell of burning flesh and skin.

The 10,000 Tang army defenders at the head of the city also suffered heavy losses. More than 2,000 people were killed or seriously wounded in battle and were carried off the city. The war had been going on for an hour or two, and the Tibetan offensive had not weakened in the slightest. At the same time, the defensive ability of the Tang Army has not necessarily been weakened much. Xiao Yunhe divided them into squads to take turns to attack, which greatly saved physical energy and gave everyone a chance to breathe.

Fortunately, the terrain of Xuanmen Pass is extremely dangerous. Moreover, it is only a mile or two wide and is flanked by steep cliffs. Xiao Yunhe's safe exit from this tactic of taking turns to rush the position is mainly to take advantage of this rare geographical advantage.

At the same time, the experienced and scheming Trisong Detsen also realized this problem and thought to himself: Even though we have 180,000 people. However, the topography of Xuanmen Pass determines that there are absolutely not too many people who can directly face Xuanmen Pass. That is to say, from the point of view of the Xuanmen Pass, our numerical superiority cannot be brought into play at all. Look at the head of the city. The Tang army was no more than 10,000 people. Moreover, Xiao Yunhe actually came to compete with us in batches. No matter when our soldiers go to the city, they will face the well-bodied Tang army...... Xiao Yunhe, you are indeed good. actually used a few people to fight a stalemate with my 30,000 siege army. Although you have taken advantage of the location, you have to admit it. You've done a good job in this siege.

Tri Song Detsen looked up at the sky, and it was noon. The siege has been almost two hours now. He frowned. Raise your hand: "Mingjin, collect the troops." ”

Bells and bells -- In the Tibetan army, there was a sound of gold. The commanders of the battle in the front, Lun Xinuo and Lun Mangluo, were stunned for a while, but they had to shout and give an order to let the Tibetan soldiers who were besieging the city retreat.

He flapped his horse and ran in front of Trisong Dezan, saluted and said, "Zampu, if you fight for a while, you will be able to capture the Xuanmen Pass." Why did Zampu withdraw his troops?"

Trisong Dezan looked at his old general with a soft face and said, "Old general." How long will it be for a while? One day and one night, or three or five years? If we continue to fight, our army will suffer even greater casualties. Moreover, it seems that the Xuanmen Pass is not as easy to attack as we think. Back to my big house. Let's discuss the countermeasures together!"

Ron Fannuo's face turned red, although he was very unconvinced. But he also understands being on the front lines of the battle. Zampu's words make a lot of sense. So he could only sigh a few times with hatred, and obediently followed Trisong Dezan to retreat.

The Tang army, which closed the Xuanmen, erupted in cheers. Huge war drums beat loudly, and a banner flew around.

Trisong Dezan glanced back and sneered: "Why is it that the Tang army seems to have won a battle?"

"Yes. Shang Jiezan lost no time in saving face for his master, and said, "We just don't bother to fight with them now." ”

"Heh......" Trisong Dezan chuckled, glanced at Shang Jiezan, and patted the horse away.

The door closed the ground Xiao Yunhe and breathed a sigh of relief. Watching the Tubo brigade retreat backwards, he did not have the slightest sense of joy in his heart, but was a little worried: Trisong Dezan is not a reckless man. When he withdrew his troops when the battle was deadlocked, he was not showing weakness at all, but trying to adopt a strategy......

Defensive battles, the city is easy to defend, and the strategy is difficult to defend. Who knows what strange idea he will come up with? The method of the Tibetans in the capture of Victoria back then, borrowing a woman's belly, was already ridiculous enough!

"The order goes down. Let Song Liangchen come with his people immediately. Today's soldiers who participated in the defense of the city, led by Gao Gu, all returned to the camp to rest. Xiao Yunhe ordered, "Before retreating, clean up the battlefield." ”

The officers and men of the Tang Army, who had cheered for a while, finally felt a burst of prostration and fear. A lot of people are almost unstable. If it weren't for the strict military orders, many would have almost run down the city. Especially that group of recruits.

Xiao Yunhe was not worried about morale and morale. He knew that only the soldiers who survived this great battle could be called real soldiers. Just like a piece of good iron that has been tempered by fire, it can be regarded as having the hope of becoming a material.

After the order was issued, the second phalanx army that was on standby in Victoria City quickly drove towards the front of the Xuanmen Pass. They took over the Tang Army, which had just participated in the battle, and took over the defense of Xuanmen Pass.

The same 10,000 people. The Jianchuan army in Victoria City, a total of 40,000 people. was divided into four armies by Xiao Yunhe, with Gao Gu, Song Liangchen, Xu Zhan and Tang Hanchen, who was transferred from Hanzhou, as the commanders of the army. The plan to rotate the guard guard was also designed by himself.

Song Liangchen was like a brute bull who had accumulated strength for eight lifetimes and had no place to use it, and he was the first to rush to the city and shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight well." Kill all these Tubo birds!!" Unexpectedly, the retreating Tang troops all seemed to have been drained of their strength, drooping their heads, and almost no one paid attention to him.

Song Liangchen was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt like a clown, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He slapped the helmet of a pawn with one hand. Angrily scolded, "Why are we all like dead fathers?" The pawn looked up at him, a flash of anger on his face, but immediately bowed his head and left.

"Song Liangchen, come here. Xiao Yunhe called him to the side of the voice.

"Your Excellency. I brought men up to defend the city. Song Liangchen said happily, "My subordinates." It's all gentlemen. If you stay here, you don't have to take a break. "Then you mean to say that Gao Gu's subordinates are misgiving?" Xiao Yunhe laughed a few times, pulled him to the head of the city, and said. "Brother Ryosuke, people and people are not the same. You are mighty and invincible, and you are not afraid of anything. It doesn't mean that everyone in the world is like you. Soldiers are also human beings. After a life-and-death battle, they will collapse, they will be afraid, and some people will even be a little afraid to go to the battlefield from now on. This is all normal. If a group of people are kept at the head of the city, it will only make them accumulate too much pressure in their hearts, and it is possible that they will collapse. That's why I divided the Jianchuan Army into four armies and took turns to take the position. Got it? It's only reasonable to always be in the best shape to fight the enemy.

Song Liangchen was stunned when he heard this. Blinking his eyes and nodding: "It seems to understand a little." Just like when I was in the cottage before, I could only go out every once in a while to get a vote. If I had been fighting for several days in a row, my brothers would have been much less murderous and less ferocious. I guess I'm going to get tired......"

"Hehe, you have to think so. You can also. Xiao Yunhe patted him on the back and walked to the city wall. Pointing downwards and saying, "Look at it." ”

Song Liangchen stretched out his head to look down, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Uh, I burned a bunch of hu." It's disgusting enough. ”

"It's disgusting to look at it once in a while, and if you spend all day long, days on end, or even for a long time. Can this person still stand it?" Xiao Yunhe smiled and said, "It is true that when you go into battle to fight, your body is tired. But the stimulation in the heart is the most terrifying and difficult to solve. Now that you are a general, you are no more of a bandit than before. More often than not, learn to be considerate of your men. For example, have you ever heard of Yingxiao?"

Song Liangchen shook his head in astonishment.

"Camp roaring, that is, all of a sudden, the soldiers in the barracks are like crazy, yelling and screaming and even raising knives to kill. Xiao Yunhe said with a grim face, "If this situation occurs, no one can stop it." can only let those soldiers who are almost crazy quiet after venting themselves. ”

"Ah, there is such a thing?" Song Liangchen's eyes widened, almost in disbelief.

"Of course there is!" A voice came from behind them, and the two looked back to see that it was Wu Yuanheng.

Wu Yuanheng walked over with a salute and said, "I once remembered that I saw a record of Yingxiao in a certain book, which was a war between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Western Qiang. That fight lasted too long, and the two sides were deadlocked, with heavy casualties. One night, there was a night terror of a large number of soldiers, which is what the adults call the camp roar. The generals couldn't stop it, and in the end they almost broke down and went crazy. ”

Song Liangchen exclaimed: "But, aren't they afraid of military discipline and military law?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. It's because I'm so scared that there will be a roar. Xiao Yunhe said, "The soldiers live in the barracks, bound by the 18 articles and 64 punishments, and their spirits are very tense all the time. Coupled with the battle of life and death, I saw the death of someone I knew and knew in front of my eyes. There will be too much tension in your heart. When the pressure reaches a certain point, this resentment and fear will erupt. Especially in dreams, it is easy to wake up screaming, and then go hysterical. As long as one person goes crazy, it is easy to drive other people to go crazy too. In the seventh year of Wude, Emperor Taizong personally experienced a camp roar. It's just that it wasn't strict at that time, and it is estimated that there is no record in the history books. It's just that I want to tell you that war pays attention to the right time, place and people, and the most important and easily overlooked place is often people. Therefore, the generals of our Jianchuan Army must be considerate of the soldiers. Especially you, Song Liangchen. You're rough, so I just told you this today. I hope you will be careful in the future and not be too rude to ordinary soldiers. ”

"Oh, I see. Today, I've really gained a lot of knowledge. Song Liangchen nodded again and again and said, "Actually, I have always been very good to my brothers. It's just this temperament...... Sometimes I can't hold it back and want to have a seizure. I'll change it later. ”

"Well, good. Xiao Yunhe nodded and smiled, "Arrange for your people to go to the city to set up defenses." Song Liangchen bowed his hand and strode away. Xiao Yunhe finally let out a long breath and raised his eyes to look at the place in front of him. The Tibetans are making a large-scale retreat towards the rear.

Wu Yuanheng walked up to him and said, "My lord." You have also worked hard in the city for a long time, so can you go back and rest? If there is any war, your subordinates will send someone to inform you urgently. ”

"You don't have to go back and rest. I will rest for a while in this castle guard. Xiao Yunhe looked back at the hut built on the Xuanmen Gate, and couldn't help laughing, "Look, it's all shot like a hedgehog." Bo Cang, how is the situation in the city? Is there any news from outside?"

"Everything in the city is in order, and there is no problem. Wu Yuanheng said, "It's just...... Over there in Chengdu, there has been no news yet. I don't know what the situation is with Li Sheng, Li Huaiguang, Chu Yan, and Princess Dugu of Yazhou. ”

Xiao Yunhe frowned, took a deep breath and said, "Chisong Dezan, it's not simple. Not an ordinary reckless man, not easy to deal with. In fact, just now the two armies were in a stalemate, and he took the initiative to withdraw first regardless of his false name. I was worried about what he was going to do. Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to defend. We also have to plan well. ”

Helan Mountain, the insurmountable Helan Mountain under the ice.

The yin wind roars, and the snow drifts for thousands of miles. The snow on the ground was a foot thick, and when you stepped on it, you could almost reach your knees.

Li Huaiguang's face was gloomy, wearing a thick armor robe, and he walked back and forth anxiously in the handsome tent. Shi Yanfen and more than a dozen other generals fixed their eyes on him, and their eyes shook with him.

"Damn, don't waitβ€”send troops!" Li Huaiguang suddenly shouted in a rough voice, and threw a whip on the low table in front of him, "This thief God, what kind of tricks are you doing! A heavy snowfall has been falling for ten days, and this is not over!"

Shi Yanfen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father, the snow is covering the mountain, and Helan Mountain is unable to march. The supply of our Shuofang army is even more of a big problem. At this time, I am afraid that the army will be hastily raised...... It's not good for the army!"

"Shut up, you yellow-mouthed boy, what do you know!" Li Huaiguang scolded loudly, "This time, it is almost the largest battle in my Daqi for decades, and the entire Western Front has been fought. Our Shuofang army has been shrinking for too long, and if we wait any longer, everyone in the world will laugh at us for being a bad seed! -- The heavy snow has blocked the mountains, and all of us have abandoned our horses and marched on foot! Each person has brought enough dry food for ten days, and we must kill us at the foot of Huizhou City within five days!"

The generals were stunned for a while: marching on foot and killing in five days to Huizhou...... More than 300 miles, and infantry! Is this possible?!

"What's the matter, have they all become a bad seed?" Li Huaiguang looked at the generals around him and shouted loudly, "Think about it, the King of Han is now in Xichuan, fighting with 300,000 Tubo people. Don't forget, we are the elite border army of Daqi, the ace iron army guarding Shuofang that has not tasted defeat for ten years!"

"Yes!" Shi Yanfen and the other generals responded in unison and roared loudly.

"Let's go!!" Li Huaiguang roared. The first to run out of the handsome tent.

In the endless snow, 20,000 Tang troops held the red Tang banner and walked out of the barracks.

At the same time, Li Sheng of Jingyuan Jiedu has already started a war. The sky is beautiful, there is no heavy snow here in Wonju, but it is surprisingly cold. The Jingyuan army was sent out for only one day. They assaulted in front of Wonju City, which was not too far away. Here, it is the sworn enemy of Jingyuan Jiedu and the Great Qi Yuanzhou occupied by the Tubo people.

Li Sheng squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the archers standing at the head of Yuanzhou City, and said to Li beside him: "Son, it seems that the Tubo people have already prepared. Our surprise attack. It didn't have much effect. ”

Li also showed a confident smile on his slightly childish face, and said: "Father, even if you fail to make a surprise attack, you can still attack it." The last general is willing to charge. Take the head of Yuanju City as a congratulatory gift for his father's birthday!"

"Hehe, my son has such a heart. It's already nice to be a father. Li Sheng stroked his hair and laughed, and said, "But this battle is really a big deal." Victory or defeat is secondary, we must play majestic and effective, and reduce the pressure on the Xichuan Han King. Therefore, in this battle, it is still for the father to go first. You hold the horns of the rear army. Watch the game in the rear. With that, he waved his hand behind him again, and a young general rode up on horseback and bowed: "Father!"

"Yes, Ci'er. Li Sheng said. "This is your first time in battle, right? Stay by your brother's side and see him as a soldier. ”

"Yes!" Fang Ci clasped his fists and echoed loudly. Fang Ci has grown a lot taller. Wearing armor and hanging a long sword at his waist, he has a bit of the taste of a general. His face has a calmness and atmosphere that does not match his age. In the past two years, he has followed Li Sheng to learn martial arts and strategies, and when he gets along with Li Riri, he is almost like a brother. A teacher for one day and a father for life, Li Sheng is like an unreachable god and an amiable father in his mind. So he, like Li, honored Li Sheng as his father.

The two young generals got together and looked at Li Sheng who was slowly moving forward with some excitement.

Li Sheng raised his gun in his right arm and pointed it at the sky, shouting: "Brothers, kill!"

A thunderous roar rose into the sky, and the Tang army rushed towards the gate of Qianyuanzhou like a tiger out of the box.

At this time, thirty miles outside the city of Weizhou, Chu Yan was scolding: "The barbarians of Tubo in the dog day and the earth actually blocked Weishui with tree poles and stones!" He stood on the bow of the boat angrily and jumped to his feet and scolded for a while, and then ordered: "The whole army will get off the boat and attack Weizhou." The Tibetan barbarians are so afraid that they are going to block the river, they must be short of troops. Let's take advantage of the opportunity to attack Weizhou!"

"Roar!-" More than 20,000 Fengxiang troops let out a loud roar, and all jumped off the boat. After assembling in an instant, Chu Yan turned over his horse, pulled out his big knife and waved his fingers forward-"Assault!"
