Chapter 471, a failure

The Tubo army arrived near Xiliang City, and then rushed to cut down trees from the woods near the barracks, and then transported back to the barracks to create a variety of siege equipment, what rushing vehicles, climbing ladders, arrow towers, flying arms, nest cars, etc., the ancient siege was like this, most of the siege equipment were built on the spot. Although Song He and the others expected to capture Xiliang Mansion before nightfall that day, it seemed that they could not do it, Song He and the others knew very well that in the face of a city like Xiliang Mansion, and there were more than 20,000 elite Yanyun army garrisons, a hasty attack would definitely outweigh the losses, and only after making proper preparations could they be sure to capture Xiliang Mansion.

That night, the Tubo army took turns to rest and be vigilant, for fear of repeating the responsibility, and I don't know if the Tubo army was too tightly defended Yanyun army had no chance to take advantage of it, and a night passed very peacefully, and nothing happened.

Early the next morning, a thin mist hung over the earth. Knock knock knock...... The sound of the leather drums characteristic of the Tibetan army suddenly broke the silence of the early morning, and the defenders at the head of the city immediately entered a state of readiness, their swords unsheathed and their arrows wound. Immediately, I saw the military formations slowly pressing down in the mist, accompanied by dull thunderous footsteps and shouts.

A gust of wind blew, the fog dissipated, and the 200,000 Tubo army appeared in front of Yan Yunjun, with a magnificent momentum.

The people in the city were all awakened, and the vast majority of the people, whether they were from the Dang Xiangran, the Han people, or people of any other nationality, were very frightened, for fear that the Tubo people would invade the city and that they and their families would be poisoned. However, there are also some people who gloat and look forward to the Tibetan people breaking through the city as soon as possible. In a luxurious courtyard, several scholars of the Dangxiang and Han ethnic groups gathered together to discuss, and a Dangxiang scholar said with some concern: "I really don't know if the Tubo people can fight in?" Yan Yunjun is all like a beast, but it's not so easy to deal with! I only heard a Han scholar confidently say: "Don't worry about this!" I heard that this time the 200,000 troops of the Tubo people are coming, ten to fight one, no matter how it is, there is no reason to be invincible, and the brutal Yanyun army will definitely be defeated! Everyone nodded, all excited.

The gaze turned back to the city walls. Ye Yu Guanyin looked at the huge Tubo army, and his heart couldn't help but sink down, but his face was silent. To one of the officers was ordered: "The three-bow bed crossbow is loaded with gunpowder packs, and the stone artillery carts are loaded with fire oil canisters, ready to fire." The officer answered the promise and ran down, and after some shouting, I saw that the soldiers operating the three-bow bed crossbow and the stone artillery cart were busy, and the gunpowder bags were loaded with gunpowder packs, and the fire oil cans were filled with fire oil cans, adjusting the firing angle, just waiting for the order of Ya Yu Guanyin. Ya Yin Guanyin said to another officer: "Strengthen the vigilance in the city, anyone who dares to leave the house and go to the street without permission will be arrested first!" The officer answered and ran down.

The unique leather drum of the Tubo people rumbled, and the 200,000 Tubo army shouted, which was really earth-shattering and deafening.

Before Songhe Zema came to the army, the sound of war drums and shouts suddenly stopped, and all the eyes of all the soldiers were focused on Songhe. Song He shouted loudly: "Warriors of Great Tibet, today will be your glorious moment, use your swords and guns to defeat the Yanyun people and seize Xiliang Mansion!" The epic will record your great achievements, and thousands of years later, our descendants will still be extremely proud of our bravery! ”

When the Tibetan soldiers heard such words, their blood couldn't help but boil, and they shouted in unison, and their morale was like a rainbow and they were murderous. Song He said: "Each team takes turns to attack, Hanon, you lead the soldiers under your command to attack first, if you can break through the city, I will give you a few first strokes!" Hanon bowed excitedly, and then yelled at his soldiers: "Prepare to attack!" More than 10,000 soldiers under his command shouted in unison and slowly went out of battle, and then the sound of leather drums rumbled, making these more than 10,000 soldiers even more warlike.

Songhe turned his horse's head to avoid the army, and shouted at Dosan, "Dosan, your troops as a second wave of attacks. Dosang bowed and promised. Songhe then rushed to Zhandui and Busang and said: "Zhandui, Busan, your soldiers and horses will attack as the third and fourth waves!" The two generals bowed to the promise.

Songhe Zema returned to the banner of Shuai, looked at the city wall in front of him, and saw that the Yan Yun army on the city wall was in a tight formation, and he couldn't help frowning, and said secretly: "I'm afraid that the first and second waves will not be able to wear down the fighting spirit of the Yan Yun army." It turned out that Song He's idea was to let the non-descendant troops first wear down the fighting spirit of the Yanyun army, and then use the descendant troops to storm the city, hoping that the descendant troops would attack the city in one go, so that naturally he and his descendants would get the greatest credit.

The sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from the southwest. Song He couldn't help but turn his head to look at it, and when he saw that it was his own herald cavalry, he couldn't help frowning and muttering, "I don't know if it's good news or bad news!" ”

Seeing the enemy army slowly closing the city wall, Ya Yin raised his right hand. The sergeant who operated the three-bow bed crossbow and the stone cannon cart was in good spirits and ready to fire. The Great War is about to break out!

However, at this moment, an unexpected scene appeared, the Tubo army suddenly heard the sound of a horn representing the retreat, and the rapid horn sounded all of a sudden, and the Tubo assault troops, who were preparing to attack, couldn't help but stop, looked at each other, and felt overwhelmed. After listening carefully, after confirming that it was indeed the sound of the horn of retreat, he retreated with a feeling of puzzlement.

Ye Yu Guanyin and others stood on the city wall and saw that after the Tibetan assault troops retreated to the Tubo army's array, the entire Tubo army began to retreat. Ye Yu Guanyin's expression suddenly moved, his face showed joy, and said secretly: The enemy army retreated suddenly, and nine times out of ten, there is good news from the eldest brother's side!

Ya Kannon guessed correctly, and it was. Just when the Tubo army was preparing to attack the city on a large scale just now, it received information from the west that Yang Peng's personal commander Yanyun had already passed the Rouge Mountain and was rushing towards Xiliangfu. Songhe and the others were shocked when they suddenly heard such news. Immediately, Duo Sang and other generals thought that Yang Peng had already crossed Rouge Mountain, and he would definitely be able to rush to the city of Xiliangfu before nightfall today, and if he waited for Yan Yun's cavalry brigade to arrive, he would inevitably fall into a dangerous situation, so they all thought that they should withdraw immediately; However, Zhandui and the others thought that they could capture Xiliang Mansion before Yanyun Warriors arrived, as long as Xiliang Mansion was captured in time, then even if Yanyun Warriors arrived at Xiliang Mansion, it would be useless. The two sides were at loggerheads, and it was Songhe who gave the order to retreat in view of the strong combat power shown by the Yanyun army in the previous battle with the Yanyun army, and he was really not sure that he would capture Xiliangfu before nightfall, so he issued the order to retreat. So there was a fact that the assault force had not really launched an attack, but the horn of retreat sounded loudly.

Seeing that the Tibetan army had retreated, Ya Yu Guanyin immediately sent scouts to prevent them from playing tricks with an arrow to prevent them from playing tricks, and at the same time to get news of their own reinforcements as soon as possible.

Soon after, the scouts reported that the Tibetan army had indeed retreated, and the army retreated south to the fortress of the snow-capped mountains. Later that day, Ye Yu Guanyin and others received a report from the scouts who had gone west to inquire about the news, saying that more than 20,000 war horsemen under the command of King Yan had passed Rouge Mountain and were rushing towards Xiliang Mansion. After hearing the news, Ya Yin Guanyin was completely relieved.

Those scholars in the city who hoped that the Tubo people would come in as soon as possible heard that the outside of the city had fallen silent, and they felt depressed and couldn't help but be anxious, pacing back and forth in the courtyard, wanting to go out to find out the news but they didn't dare, because not long ago, Yan Yunjun had issued a martial law order, and this order had not been lifted, and anyone who left home rashly could be arrested as a spy; When the people heard that it was calm outside, they breathed a sigh of relief and were very worried, fearing that they would suddenly hear the earth-shattering sound of war drums and shouts of killing.

Knowing that at dusk, the people and scholars suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves and shouts coming from the street outside: "Yan Wangshuai's reinforcements have arrived, the Tubo army has fled, and martial law has been lifted!" ......" repeated the phrase and shouted all the way.

When the people heard the news, they were naturally overjoyed, and many knelt down in front of the Buddha shrine to thank the Buddha and Bodhisattva; But those who read the book were extremely depressed, and they didn't expect that the expected big war would disappear silently like this, and many people scolded the Tubo people for being incompetent!

In the camp hall, Yang Peng and Ye Yu Guanyin and other left-behind generals told about the situation after not coming, when Yang Peng heard Zhan Jin Guo say that Ye Yu Guanyin defeated a Tubo army ten days ago, forcing them to put off the plan to attack Xiliang Mansion for ten days, he couldn't help but be surprised, looked at Ye Yu Guanyin, and said excitedly: "Guanyin is really amazing!" When Ye Yu Guanyin heard Yang Peng's praise, he was very happy, and said: "This is not my credit alone, if it were not for Xue Fu and Zhan Jinguo, they would not have been able to win this battle!" ”

Yang Peng nodded, glanced at the generals, and said with a smile: "Everyone has merit!" The crowd laughed. Ya Yu Guanyin asked Yang Peng: "Big brother, what's the situation in the west?" When the generals heard Ya Yu Guanyin's question, they all showed a look of concern.

Yang Peng smiled: "Guanyin might as well guess." Ye Yu Guanyin glanced at Yang Peng, thought for a moment, and said with a smile: "Looking at the elated appearance of the eldest brother, the war in the west must be very smooth." Even if the remnants of Western Xia are not completely wiped out, it must not be far from completely solving the problem. ”

Yang Peng gave a thumbs up to Ya Yu Guanyin and exclaimed: "Amazing, I guessed a little bit." When I came, the remnants of Western Xia were only a sandbar, and they were left to survive. I ordered Yang Yanzhao and Yang Gui to lead 50,000 infantry troops to continue the attack, and at this time, maybe they have already won a big victory! ”

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
