Chapter 39: Boom
At this time, in the city of Quy Nhon Army, the town guard envoy's mansion heard the melodious singing of silk and bamboo sheng from time to time, and you can also hear the light laughter like silver bells, and there seem to be many young ladies.
The little Bolu people who passed nearby were all gloomy.
"Dog slave, what do you see? Believe it or not, gouge out your eyeballs! β
At this time, the attendants guarding the gate of the house would immediately curse him, sometimes even whip him, and the worst of a little Bolu was even slashed to death with a knife.
Little Bolu also dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.
The Tang Dynasty adopted a system of restraint for most of the Anxi countries.
The so-called fetters system means that after conquering some small countries in the frontier, they do not directly send officials from the imperial court to govern, but still manage their own national subjects by the original nobles or even kings, but the king is turned into a thorn or governor, and some even still retain the title of king, such as the king of Khotan.
The Quy Nhon army is actually the original small Buryu Kingdom, but it has just changed its name, and the king has not changed.
The inhabitants of the country are still the original Xiaobolu people, and the Tang Dynasty only stationed 3,000 recruits in the city of Sindo, and these 3,000 recruits are Tian Zhen's Guiren army.
Of course, now there are thousands of elite soldiers brought by Bian Lingcheng in the city.
Tian Zhen, like Li Siye, was once a Mo sword general under Gao Xianzhi, but the style of the two was opposite, Li Siye was still very good to the people of Khotan, but Tian Zhen was very bad to the people of Xiao Bolu, and it was a trivial matter to exploit and extort money, and he often went around to loot young and beautiful orchids for himself and his subordinates to enjoy.
Tian Zhen actually learned from Gao Xianzhi, and Gao Xianzhi is this virtue.
Gao Xianzhi is indeed very powerful in fighting, but it is also true that he is greedy for pleasure, in order to satisfy his greed, he even did not hesitate to fabricate excuses to send troops to attack Shiguo, the New Tang Dynasty book contains that Gao Xianzhi robbed "more than ten hundred, five or six camels of gold, good horses and treasures, and many good horses and treasures, and the family has a lot of money", and then there was the prince of Shi who borrowed troops from Dashi to take revenge, and then there was the battle of Talas, Gao Xianzhi also swallowed the first defeat since he served as the envoy of Anxi Jiedu, and it was a fiasco.
Gao Xianzhi was like this, and the senior generals of the Anxi Army followed suit.
Who wouldn't have a good time with gold and silver treasures and a snow-skinned orchid, would they?
On the contrary, generals like Feng Changqing and Li Siye who are honest and self-disciplined and treat the Hu people well are outliers.
Therefore, in the past three years, under the governance of Tian Zhen, the population of the city has plummeted to less than 20% of the original amount.
But Tian Zhen didn't care at all, and a few days ago he looted a batch of orchids for the pleasure of Bian Lingcheng, the general of the prison gate who had just arrived in the city of Sindo, and Tian Zhen even gave up his house.
And Bian Lingcheng was not polite, and they all smiled happily.
At this time, Bian Lingcheng enjoyed the orchid song and dance in Tian Zhen's house again.
And this old pervert doesn't allow orchids to wear clothes, they must be naked when singing and dancing, and they will rush into the arena when they can see sex, grabbing and pinching orchids' skins vigorously.
Watching a dozen orchids spin there naked, Bian Lingcheng's bestiality flares up again.
However, just as Bian Lingcheng was about to rush into the field again, a small eunuch ran in quickly.
"Grandpa, grandpa, there's new news from Seluburg." The little eunuch shouted as he ran.
Bian Lingcheng's good mood was stirred, and he immediately asked with a black face: "How is the Cyruburg side?" Say it. β
"Whoa." The little eunuch sang a chorus and said, "A camel caravan came from Khotan the night before yesterday, and brought about 500 stone of grain and hundreds of barrels of stone grease to Cyruburg. β
"Is there such a thing?" Bian Lingcheng's face suddenly became more embarrassed, "Li Siye, what is he going to do?" β
As he spoke, Tian Zhen, the town guard of the Quy Nhon Army, who was wearing a crimson round-necked robe, also strode in.
Tian Zhen is about the same as Li Siye, and he is also a seven-foot tall giant, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
Seeing Tian Zhen striding in, more than a dozen orchids in the hall suddenly scattered in shock, and they all threw frightened eyes at Tian Zhen.
Tian Zhen didn't even glance at the group of orchids.
"Whoa." Tian Zhen sang a fat song to Bian Lingcheng, and said, "Does Bian Gong know that Li Siye has sent hundreds of stones of grain and hundreds of barrels of stone grease to Cyruburg?" β
"Well, our family just found out." Bian Lingcheng said with a dark face.
Tian Zhen said: "Li Siye's meddling in Cyruburg is still a trivial matter, but another incident happened tonight, and this is a big thing. β
"Something big happened in Cyruburg tonight?" Bian Lingcheng was taken aback and said hurriedly, "What happened?" β
Tian Zhen said: "A team named Lu Wen in the fort actually saw through the conspiracy of the Tubo army to transport wood and supplies from the upper reaches of the Sailu River to the lower reaches of the Sailu River, and intercepted the wooden rafts and military rations laid down by the Tubo people this night. β
From here, we can know that the news of the city or Tian Zhen is very well-informed.
Although the Tibetans sent an army of tens of thousands to guard the communication arteries west of Sayluburg, they did not cut off the Tang army's intelligence channels at all, and Tian Zhen could still know the big and small affairs that happened in Sellupor at the first time.
"Lu Wen?" Bian Lingcheng groaned, "This person has some eyesight. β
"However, this person has ruined the affairs of the border princess." Tian Zhen said, "Previously, we secretly leaked the news of the lack of food in Syluburg to the Tubo people, and the Tubo gave up the strong attack and besieged instead, so that the Tubo army would be under the fortification of the city for a long time, and it would inevitably be exhausted over time. β
"That's exactly what happened." Bian Lingcheng said, "The Tibetan army has always been brave, and it must not be underestimated. β
Tian Zhen said again: "But now that Li Siye is sending grain to Cyruburg, and then Lu Wen intercepts the military rations of the Tubo army, the situation is immediately reversed, and the ninth regiment is not short of food, but the Tubo army is about to run out of food. β
"Oh, yes." Bian Lingcheng slapped his thigh and suddenly realized, "That's the reason." β
Tian Zhen said again: "This time, the Tubo army will inevitably be trapped and fighting, so they will attack overnight. β
"Damn, Li Siye and Lu Wen misunderstood me." Bian Lingcheng said hurriedly, "Pass on our military order, and the army will be assembled immediately!" β
Bian Lingcheng didn't dare to wait any longer, because it was too late, and it would be a big trouble to let the Tubo army capture Sayluburg first, and then the Tubo army only needed to hold Sayluburg, and it would be able to tightly choke the throat of the Anxi army.
As a result, the 70th birthday gift for the saint has naturally become a mirror.
Such a consequence is not something that Bian Lingcheng can afford, so he has to send troops quickly.
However, the dead eunuch was still afraid of death, so he did not dare to lead the troops in person, but let Tian Zhen lead the troops.
Immediately, he shook Tian Zhen's hand and said, "Tian Zhijun, I can only work hard for you to go this time." β
Tian Zhen was disdainful in his heart, but he said with anger on his face: "Where is Bian Gong, it is Tian's honor to be able to serve Bian Gong and the saint, Bian Gong just waits for news here." β
Tian Zhendang led his army to SelΓΌburg overnight.
β¦β¦
Cyruburg, everything is ready.
Cui He climbed the battlement and said to Lu Wen beside him: "This night is really quiet." β
Lu Wen nodded and said, "The first half hour of dawn is the darkest time of the day, and it is also the quietest time. β
Cui He continued: "It is also the best time to sneak attack, it seems that your judgment is right, the Tubo army really intends to attack before dawn, I can already smell the smell of sheep on their bodies." β
"I also smell the smell of the Tibetan people, three, two, one!"
When the countdown reached one, Lu Wen shouted again: "Squat down, don't take your head!" β
As soon as the words fell, a continuous scream sounded in the night sky, which were countless arrows.
The battlements of the city wall and the enemy tower immediately sounded a dense tuk tuk sound, you don't need to look at it to know that it is the sound of the arrows shot by the Tubo people when they are inserted into the battlements and the enemy tower.
Immediately afterward, countless fires lit up outside the city.
In the firelight, thousands of Tibetan archers were firing arrows, and hundreds of bed crossbows, Fuyuan crossbows and even ballistas were being loaded and fired.
Immediately, groups of Tibetan infantry launched a charge with their oars on their shoulders.
Lu Xiaoning pulled the surveillance camera to a high place, and when he looked down from the sky, he could see more clearly that there must be at least 2,000 Tubo infantry in the charge, which is really like a tide.
