Chapter 347: Feichuan’s Desert Grass (Five)

Without siegeing the city immediately, the soldiers cut down a lot of wood, set up camp, and raised the tower. After all, it was almost dusk, and hundreds of soldiers in the city went out to hunt. Seeing this from afar, they were so scared that they were scattered.

I don’t know how many people from the Tang Dynasty came here, but how many troops were in the city. Originally, three thousand soldiers were stationed, and another thousand were transferred to Qinghai, leaving only two thousand troops. Not to mention, at least four or five hundred people went out to hunt and were not in the city. If the city was repaired, it could still be defended. Now the shortest place in the city wall is only one and a half high, and you can attack it by taking a ladder. How to defend it?

Immediately go to Hongji Bridge to help Dushan Army rescue soldiers.

The Dushan Army did not agree. There was a newly built Camel Bridge behind the Qushui Army, and Lunzanpo left two thousand soldiers to garrison. However, the Dushan Army had only 800 soldiers, but the city was a little more steep. Even if you couldn't defend it, how could you divide the troops?

But reinforcements were sent from Hongji Bridge.

It was obvious that the Tang Dynasty sent troops to Wansu City and Hongji Bridge, and it might not be true to attack. However, in order to prevent the situation, in addition to the 15,000 soldiers left in Wansu City, Hongji Bridge, and Baigu, Luzanpo also reinforced 15,000 soldiers, and 5,000 Tuyuhun soldiers were stationed in the west of Hongji Bridge. Hearing this news, the defenders in the city were also puzzled how the Tang army arrived in the Damomen area. However, the defenders in the city were Yifulobo, the Qushui army was all Tubo soldiers, and they dared not make any mistakes. He also thought that the Tang army had not yet attacked Wansu City, and even if they attacked Wansu City, they could not threaten Hongji Bridge for the time being, so they sent out the 5,000 soldiers in the west of the bridge. They did not dare to walk from Hedong and follow the difficult road in Hexi to go straight to the Camel Bridge.

It was getting dark, and Li Wei looked at Qi Ziming and said, "General Qi Zi, I hope you will be the key to the victory or defeat of this battle."

"Your Highness, I will definitely live up to my trust."

Looking at his departure back, Li Wei sighed, "Godie, General."

Qi Ziming shivered and was very happy.

He was full of energy and led 6,000 people to leave the camp quietly with the help of the night cover, and also brought a large number of rafts from the camp. This was Li Wei's goal of camping. Only by setting up camp could he set up a tent and quietly set up a raft in the tent. However, I don't know how many reinforcements Tubo would send from the direction of Hongji Bridge, but he was still worried. So when Qi Biming left, he praised him and stimulated the ambitions of the old general.

Gradually, a group of people sank into the darkness, Li Wei said: "Strike!"

The trumpet sounded, and there was no need to steal the city. Tubo was very careful on the top of the city and patrolled with torches.

The army rushed into the city and assembled the catapult. The city had not yet been repaired and everything was invented. There were only a few conspicuous targets that were observed through the tower during the day. The city was still small and there was no barrier from the city wall. Most of the targets were within the range of the catapult. More than a dozen gunpowder packs were thrown into it, and the roar sounded, and screams came from the city.

"Spout again!" Li Wei shouted, and more than a dozen black shadows were flying through the night sky with sparks. There was no cannon, so he had to use this stupid method. But there was still a lethality, and another scream came.

Li Wei then said: "The shield hands stepped forward, the archers followed, and others prepared the siege equipment and immediately attacked the city."

Five or six hundred Tang dynasties were holding shields in front, and arrows flew down from the top of the city. Some soldiers were also caught and fell down, but the formation was still uneven and slowly approached the city wall. The crossbowmen pulled the arrows behind and opened the crossbow. Li Wei shouted: "Let it go!"

The main reason is that the city wall is too short and it has lost half of its advantage. This wave of arrows flew out, and nearly a hundred Tubo soldiers fell from the top of the city. The density of the soldiers on the defense immediately became sparse. Li Wei shouted again: "Attack!"

The archers went to the side, and the soldiers behind them set up the wooden ladder and fought for a while. After all, the Tubo soldiers in the city were small in number and were scarce. I don’t know that the Tang Dynasty had already distributed half of its troops out, and thought that more than 10,000 people were left here. I saw that Tang Dynasty soldiers came up to the top of the city, turned around, and fled to Hexi with the help of the camel bridge.

The soldiers opened the city gate in an orderly manner, and Li Wei said: "Bring the heads, get all the horses, and chase them."

After sorting out the city, he followed the fugitive army and broke out of the Camel Bridge.

This is the worst bad habit of using the head to calculate the merits of the Tang army. Later, Geshuhan was invincible and used a big blade in front to chop off the head. A servant in the back specially used a scratch hook to help him pick up the head. But not only this, it also has special uses.

...

When Li Wei attacked the Qushui Army, Qibiming had already begun to cross the river. This section of the Yellow River was very steep, but Dangxiang people were led by him and familiar with the terrain, so he found a relatively gentle place to cross the Yellow River quietly. Then he stuffed the horses into his mouth and came to an ambush on a hill.

After a while, the five thousand soldiers from Tuyuhun arrived hurriedly.

After looking at the number of people, Qi Biming was also very happy. When he arrived here, he had already penetrated deep into Tuyuhun. Even if there were scouts, he could not find accurate information. He was afraid that one or more than 30,000 people would not be able to eat them in one bite, and the six thousand people would be able to be dumplings.

But when he turned his head and looked at the direction of the Qushui Army, the reason why it was so smooth was that the prince would have to suffer the consequences. If it weren't for the dispatch of troops and generals step by step and let Lunzanpo focus on the north, the force here would not be so empty. Although everyone discussed and formulated the plan, the prince came up with it.

The sound of horse hooves faintly approached, and a torch in the distance cut through the night and spread under the hills.

After a while, Tuyuhun's army arrived at the mountain road at the foot of the mountain. He really didn't expect the Tang Dynasty army to ambush here. Li Jinxing made a cut gesture to the guards. The guard put the horn beside his mouth and blew it up.

With the sound of the horn, countless arrows flew out from the mountains and forests on both sides. Tuyuhun people fell down by arrows. Qi Bi Ming shouted: "Go ahead."

The troops on both sides rode horses and rushed out from the jungle. However, this time it was a little unsatisfied. The leader was Yifulobo's younger brother Yifu Binggen, who was also a tiger general. He was very strict in the army and was also very brave. It was precisely because of this that Lunzanpo took a fancy to him and left him to take care of him at Hongji Bridge.

He immediately rode on the horse and shouted, "Don't panic, there are not many enemies."

After calling, he commanded his subordinates and responded hastily. Yifu Binggen's move could not save the defeat, but it made Tuyuhun's morale slightly stable, and the two armies fought in a melee on the narrow mountain road.

But after a while, Li Wei led the team to kill.

He was worried and chased after him for a while, and at least half of the Tubo people escaped, and he did not fall in love with the war. He immediately turned north and came to help Qibiming. His army arrived, and finally scared the Tuyuhun soldiers and fled one by one.

"Kill!" Qi Biming shouted angrily.

Although the battle just now killed many Tuyuhun people, he also lost hundreds of soldiers.

He covered the killing all the way and chased him to the front of Hongji Bridge.

...

Just as Li Wei rushed towards the Qushui Army, Li Jinxing's army also moved. Although the eighty-mile road was not as easy as the road in the Central Plains, it was eighty-mile. Thirty thousand troops suddenly rushed to the foot of Wanxiu City. But the defenders of Wansu City were not very worried. Wansu City and Hongji Town were both very ancient cities. There were already perfect city walls, which were fighting. If they did not fight, the Tuyuhun people did not pay much attention to the city. Now, due to the need for combat, they repaired the city walls.

There were many soldiers and repairs were very difficult, but the old city wall was built soon. With the tall city wall, at least in the eyes of the Tuyuhun people, this city wall was very tall. Moreover, there were many soldiers, and there were 30,000 troops in this area. The Baigu New City army was not easy to mobilize, but it was possible to mobilize the troops from Hongji and to transfer reinforcements from Chihai, Shudun City, and other places in the back. The people of the Tang Dynasty had a delusion to capture Wansu City.

As expected, there was no way. Li Jinxing, like Li Wei, came to Wansu City and began to camp Anzhai. He did not attack immediately. However, there were many Tang troops coming, and the Tubo and Tuyuhun people in Wansu City were still a little worried. They immediately sent the news to Lunzanpo and asked for help from Shudun City and Hongji Bridge.

Yi Fulou Bo was depressed and sent away five thousand people to help the Qushui army. Wansu City came here to ask for help. He felt something was wrong and had to be rescued. He sent two thousand soldiers to Wansu City.

But when there were still thirty miles away from Wansu City, a large army suddenly came out from the forest next to the road. This was the cleverness of the entire plan. The first step was to attack Qushui Army and Wansu City, attract Hongji Bridge's army, and make Hongji Bridge's troops empty. Then, they captured Hongji Bridge and sent an army from Hexi to block reinforcements from Shudun City. Concentrate the main force and take down Wansu City again. After countless bends, Wansu City and Hongji Bridge were still in the attack, they went around countless bends again. Don't say that it was Lunzanpo, or Lunqinling here, and you might not be so comfortable to deal with it.

After arriving at Wansu City, Li Jinxing asked his wife to take charge, but he would not accept it. Ten Li Jingxuan said that he was not as good as one Mrs. Liu. Then he quietly led 7,000 soldiers around Wansu City from the small path and set up an ambush in this forest.

There are actually many loopholes in the entire plan, but the matter is in a hurry. In addition, Tuyuhun and the Tubo people have no generals who can take action here, so they are like a cow and can only be led by the nose.

Not only was he ambushed, but there were 7,000 to 2,000 more. The two thousand Tubo soldiers immediately turned around and started to run away. They chased and killed all the way to Hongji Town, which should be Hongji City. There were less than 200 soldiers who could escape to the city, and some of them fled, and half were chased and killed by the Tang army.

This time, it was Yifuloubo's turn to be stunned. The number of soldiers from the Tang Dynasty was not large, only 7,000. However, the number of soldiers in the city was less than 5,000. How could they go to fight? They had to hold on and watch the Tang Dynasty camped in a leisurely and leisurely manner in front of the city, staring blankly.

The sky gradually became brighter and rescue soldiers were sent. The direction of Wansu City was no longer expected, and the direction of Qushui Army was no longer expected, so they had to ask Shudun City for emergency.
