Chapter Fifty-Three Old Stratagems(1/2)

At this moment, more than a dozen guests came from the army, standing in the distance, holding a telescope, watching how the Blood Camp conquers Jishi Mountain. Just look, while watching, there are still harasses. The more vulgar the appearance is, the more vulgar it is, and even the scout touches them, they don’t even notice it.

If it weren't for the sharp eyes of a scout, several scouts would touch them and shoot them to death.

The other scouts were about to take action, but the scout asked strangely: "Master Guo, why did you come?"

How many general managers in the northwest can there be? This is the only one.

The other scouts quickly packed up the weapons in their hands.

Guo Yuanzhen straightened his chest and said, "Take me to see your handsome man."

There were six brave generals on this trip. Wang Junchuo, Guo Zhiyun and Xiao Song came to Jishi Mountain. The other three generals had their own arrangements, and that was the real main force. There was Ge Shuhan as the leader. The candidate on this side was somewhat unexpected. It was not Wang Junchuo, nor did he know Guo Yuanzhen, but Xiao Song.

But Wang Hua's explanation was that he was afraid that Guo Zhiyun and Wang Junchuo would make a quick move, so he made Xiao Song, who had a more calm personality, the coach. Of course, this is a saying that he would give them a step forward. This industry is not based on the results, but forced Sinuoluo back.

Therefore, this requires the determination to be very precise, and courage is second to the next. Therefore, Xiao Song is the best candidate.

When Xiao Song heard the report, he also knew that this time, Lao Guo let out a horse, which helped the Blood Camp very much. Don’t think that Lao Guo is timid. If Lao Guo also forcibly participates in the attack, with Lao Guo’s wisdom and the 60,000 troops in his hands, even if the Blood Camp wins this time, it will be a tragic victory, let alone another big counterattack. Of course, under the counterattack of the Blood Camp, Lao Guo will not want to escape unscathed.

However, this person becomes more and more shameless as he grows older. Lao Guo does not mention the consequences of his hard fight, but only mentions his help to the blood camp, expresses his merits to Mo He, and then asks for things. Mo He works to make him angry.

However, Guo Yuanzhen did not mention his contribution to the Blood Camp. He was also famous among the border generals and was one of the several objects that Xiao Song admired. Xiao Song immediately came over.

Lao Guo was not polite and said directly: "General Xiao, continue to command, I am here to learn."

He came here to learn. He came here specially, not worrying that Wang Hua would fool him. Before Xinuoluo was defeated, he would not send troops to Dafeichuan. But there was no hurry at this time. If you want to send troops to Dafeichuan, you had to prepare a lot of equipment and supplies. Just like Wang Hua's battle at the end of spring today, the preparations, materials, weapons, ambushing and military arrangements and planning began at the end of last year. Although this battle is glorious, how much effort did the generals put in the subsequent efforts?

But some materials, Lao Guo, are very unfamiliar with this longbow and that bed crossbow. What's more important is tactics. Blood Camp and Tubo have won many battles. It is not that the combat effectiveness of the soldiers in the Blood Camp is many times higher than that of the Tubo soldiers. Perhaps it is higher, but it is definitely not as great as that of the record.

This is a strategy.

So after talking to Mo Hegan, he dressed up in plain clothes and came to Jishishan. This is to learn tactics and use new weapons.

When he arrived, he encountered the Blood Camp attacking the mountain. Seeing the power of this longbow, Lao Guo rushed to Harazi. However, it would take a while before the Eighthshu could allocate this longbow to him.

Of course, there are many things in Liuharazi, such as hot air balloons, and things that glide in the sky, such giant twisted gates.

Especially Dafeichuan, Dafeichuan is mainly swamps and plains, with a flat terrain, but there are many mountains in the south, and there are also checkpoints between the Tuyuhun people and the Tubo people. If you want to occupy Dafeichuan, you must also seize these checkpoints, and then seal the ancient Tang-Tibet Road between Wuhai and Dafeichuan, close the gate and concentrate on dealing with Tuyuhun.

The method of attacking mountains by Xueying can be borrowed, otherwise it will cost a lot of sacrifice to conquer these levels. It is not difficult to do iron chains and slings, but you have to come and have a look. There are also things that glided and balloons, so it is best to come over a little. With it, you can successfully conquer several big cities in Tuyuhun.

**, I have seen any scene at least, but when I saw Mo Hegan’s supplies, I didn’t calm down. These two things were not asked for.

Now that Lao Guo saw that the Blood Camp was working on the problem, he remembered this matter in his heart and regretted it very much.

No, when I went back, I went from Shanzhou and asked Mo Hegan, but I would not send troops if I didn’t give it to me.

At this time, the Tang soldiers behind the baggage cart also changed their strategy. The Tubo soldiers on the top of the city fell down one by one, and the lethality of the bows and arrows was weakened, so there was no need to waste weapons.

So it was replaced by ten teams, keeping the rain of arrows and suppressing the Tubo people on the city to raise their heads.

There was another soldier pushing it up to something very strange.

However, Guo Yuanzhen reacted very quickly. This is a trench machine. The trench machine has a long history and is also very long in China. The Battle of Guandu appeared. However, the ancient Chinese trench machines were very rustic. It required at least a dozen people to pull the poles at one launch, and the effect was not very good. Relatively speaking, the European trench machines were more advanced, and Yuan Meng brought them back to China from Europe (Hui Hui cannon). The biggest difference is that the Chinese trench machine crowed the bars with people to pull the ropes, while the Western trench machine used a basket of heavy stones to pry heavy.

The Chinese catapult is only a few meters long, while the European one is nearly twenty meters long. This makes use of the principle of leverage and labor saving, and can make 300 pounds of objects be projected to 300 yards away. Some large catapults can even cast 1,000 pounds of objects.

Moreover, its production principle is the same as the longbow, which is very simple. A sliding hook is fixed before the traction rope is dehooked. A machine spring, a pulling machine spring, a stone bag sinks, a bar arm releases, and a stone bullet shot out of the throwing belt. Then it is pulled down and loaded with a stone bullet, or other objects. Not only is it simple to make, it is also very convenient to operate. It also requires nearly ten people to operate it, but the speed is ten times faster than the current stone trench machine. Not to mention the power.

Although it is simple, this trencher is available in China for the first time.

Guo Yuanzhen has not seen its function yet, but only thinks it is very powerful, and he guesses in his heart that its power is quite powerful.

More than a dozen trenchers were transported to the middle of the mountainside and started to load things. They might not be all stones, but explosives, sulfur and saltpeter were thrown into the stone city on the mountain one by one.

Just now, the bows and arrows were able to avoid them, and even lie down while throwing the stones down in a mess, making the soldiers of the Blood Camp unable to get close to them. But this time, facing this catapult was undoubtedly a huge disaster.

What will happen if a huge stone falls from the sky and hits people?

Not only that, due to the force and reaction force, this stone will fall down and jump into the sky twice and have a second and third effect. After the jump, the performance is not over yet, and it also needs to roll quickly for a few times.

The Tubo people on the top of the city were smashed to howl.

Moreover, when an explosive is installed from time to time, the lethality may be less than that of a stone, but the huge explosion makes the soldiers on the city panic. Then, it changes again, because many flammable materials shot over the city, the soldiers lying behind the car array replaced the rockets, and rockets shot on the city. A sea of ​​fire quickly ignited on the city. Fortunately, this was built by stones. If a fence was made of wood, this time would be a greater disaster.

Lao Guo shivered as he looked at it. The good thing was so green. He almost wanted to rush to the mountainside, so he ran to the front of the trencher to take a look.

I am so stupid. Why do you only ask for a crossbow and a longbow? Look at this catapult and this rocket are all good things. Baby, when used on the battlefield, it not only reduces the sacrifice of soldiers, but also makes the balance of victory and defeat collapse at the critical moment.

I was stupid, I was so stupid that I beat the geese all my life, but the little geese blinded the eyes.

It’s not stupid either. Anyone who saw the mountains of supplies and war horses everywhere would be dizzy.

He paused his chest and feet in his heart, and the blood camp changed again.

At this time, the city was in chaos, but we had to admit the courage of the Tubo soldiers. At this time, if it were not an elite soldier in the Tang Dynasty, they might have opened the city gate and surrendered directly. However, the city was in a panic, but no one surrendered. There were even soldiers who continued to smash the stones tenaciously down.

However, the effect of smashing stones at this time was much worse, and there was no way to stick out your head, so you could get any accurate head.

A group of soldiers came to the city gate with explosives bags.

Even if you are a native stone city wall, don’t expect black gunpowder to blow it down. But you must not blow up the city wall, but it is more than enough to open the city gate.

No matter what, Lao Guo came here to gain knowledge this time. He was worried about how to seize the Tuyuhun city, Jiaohe City and other Tuyuhun city. This time, the Blood Camp was clearly intended to practice for him to show.

While he looked, he was so happy that he scratched his head.

It's been a long experience, it's too long.

The soldiers of the Blood Camp piled up hundreds of bags of explosives at the city gate, then lit a long fuse, and then everyone lay down with their ears and eyes covered.

Then there was a loud bang, and the mountain swayed like a crack. Even Guo Yuanzhen was standing at the foot of the mountain and felt the ground shaking violently. The two chariot arrays were twisting up and down several times, breaking the two big trees before they gradually stopped.

As for the soldiers on the top of the city, many soldiers were bounced to the sky because of the impact under their feet and then threw them down.

The city gate was more like two pieces of steel shot out, flying out more than ten meters away, and even the stones at the entrance of the city gate collapsed. The smoke dissipated, revealing a large dark hole.

At this time, Xinuoluo was in Minzhou.

He took it down easily, but Minzhou is larger than Diezhou, but his general A Fuzan gained a lot in Diezhou.

This is different. Although Diezhou and Minzhou are both on the Silk Road, Minzhou is not on the main road. Diezhou is benefited from some of the Silk Road, and another important factor is that it is an important material distribution base on the ancient Tang and treasury road. Therefore, Diezhou's commerce is more developed than Minzhou and richer than Minzhou.

But his ambitions were unstoppable all the way.

After taking Minzhou, the next destination was either Weizhou in the north, which was closer to Minzhou. At the same time, Weizhou was just on the main road of the Silk Road, which was relatively richer than Minzhou. But there was another choice goal, that is, the capital of Guanzhong, Qinzhou. If it turned out, Xinuoluo would not dare to have such ideas. The 100,000 people in Qinzhou were the largest state in Guanzhong, and the city walls were tall. However, all the troops in Qinzhou were defeated by the Battle of Lanzhou, and it was also an empty city.

The effects of Qinzhou, which seized more than 100,000 people and Weizhou, which captured 20,000 people, cannot be compared with the effects of the two cities.

Although Qinzhou is a little farther away, it is not much different. The most important thing is that there is no barrier between the rivers in the middle, and Weizhou is very close to Qinzhou, which makes Xinuoluo feel uneasy. Finally, Xinuoluo thought about it and made a decision to send troops to Qinzhou.

Not only did he capture Minzhou, but another army, after Afuzan conquered Diezhou, he began to lead a large army to set out towards Dangzhou.

At this time, whether it was Qinzhou, Weizhou, or even Chengzhou, Wuzhou and Fuzhou in the southeast, they were in panic under the attack of two powerful Tubo armies.

At this moment, a young man came to the mansion of Tao Hanming, the new governor of Qinzhou, and handed a reply to the doorman.

At first, the guest didn't care and was about to say a word to send him away, but when he saw the words on Jue, he was frightened and said stammeringly: "You are, yes, are you Xue Song, the Blood Character Camp?"

"That's right." The young man smiled slightly.

"Wait," the concierge's calves were trembling, and he hurried over to report Tao Hanming.

Tao Hanming also went to the fog. Did the Blood Camp enter Qinzhou City again without knowing it? He looked very embarrassed and greeted him, and he was not right.

"Envoy Tao, don't be suspicious, I'll let me go in and report it again."

Tao Hanming had no choice but to let him in.

After sitting down, Xue Song said, "Now Xinuoluo has captured Minzhou City. He has 50,000 elite soldiers in his hand. Which one is next? Is it Weizhou with 20,000 people or Qinzhou with 100,000 people?"

Tao Hanming cursed in his heart, if all the army in Qinzhou were not in Lanzhou, how could the Tubo people be unobstructed and enter a state of no one? But I dare not say it, and there is no reason to say that if the blood camp does not defeat the imperial army, then they will sit down and wait for the imperial court to pick up the sword and chop them on their heads?

He had no choice but to ask irresponsible: "Then General Xue, why did you come to Qinzhou?"

As he said that, he listened to the movements outside to see if he heard the shouts of killing.

"Tao Jun, you are not a treacherous villain like Zong Chuke, and you also know why the Yingshang governor fled to the Eight Prefectures. After arriving in the Eight Prefectures, have you ever sent troops to the court? That time, the food was a helpless move. Without food, what would hundreds of thousands of people eat? No matter what tribe they are, since they defected to the Tang Dynasty, they are the people of our Tang Dynasty. Tao Jun, do you think? This time the Eight Prefectures counterattack was even more helpless. But no matter what, we fought, and it was because of the instigation of the villain in the court. The Yingshang governor was still Tubo, and it is still Tubo. If you have the ability to beat outsiders, what are the abilities to be cruel at home? When we close the door, we will still be a family. We will not be like some people, for ambition, regardless of the interests of the people of the court, even outsiders will collude. Let's see what the consequences of colluding with outsiders are?"

Tao Hanming didn't say anything. He thought to himself that Zong Chuke colluded with Tubo this time and was ugly, but your blood camp openly independent of the court and defeated the 280,000-strong army of the court, which was also not a good thing.

Everyone was afraid to say it to each other, but they didn't dare to say it. Even if Xue Song came alone, he didn't dare to say the word "catch". He was afraid that he would catch it in front, and the blood camp army would appear behind him, and then locked himself in the iron cage outside Lingzhou City.

Xue Song said: "So, no matter what the conflict is, we are still a family. So this time, the Blood Camp reached out to help Qinzhou overcome this difficulty."

"Thank you General Xue for your kindness, but I'll find a way to solve the problem in Qinzhou." Tao Hanming said stutteringly.

To defend Qinzhou City, you must put the Blood Camp army in. Once it is put in, if you defend Qinzhou, it is equivalent to handing Qinzhou over to the Blood Camp.

As if seeing through Tao Hanming's thoughts, Xue Song said, "Don't worry, our blood camp is not interested in Qinzhou, but Weizhou. Our army is not stationed in Qinzhou City, but in a place to the west."

After hearing that he didn't enter Qinzhou City, Tao Hanming breathed a sigh of relief. Could it be that such a good thing really happened? His face was a little suspicious.

"Please believe our camp supervisor. If our camp supervisor really wants to rebel, it will not be like this now. As long as the price of food is leveraged, the world will be in chaos. Why use force to slowly attack cities and plunder the land? Everything we do is to protect ourselves and not want to die inexplicably. If one day, you will also experience like camp supervisors, you will understand the feelings of camp supervisors."

No matter how Xue Song explained, Tao Hanming didn't believe it very much.

But it would be easier to do if you don't go into the city. He asked, "What do you need me to provide?"

Since he has stopped outside the city and has not entered the city, why bother to find him? He must be needed any help.

"Tao Envoy, you also know that our blood camp came from Linzhou and had to pass through Weizhou in the middle. In order to avoid misunderstandings from Weizhou officials, and also to be afraid that Sinuoluo would come lightly when he heard the wind, and not carry much weapons. So I asked the Tao Envoy to provide some weapons and supplies. If the Tao Envoy was not easy to explain, we could send people to Linzhou city at that time, and we would return them as much as possible. Also, we went to set up an ambush and asked the Tao Envoy to send someone to cooperate to avoid misunderstandings from local officials and the people, and to block the news with us. The rest of the matter will be left to our blood camp to solve."

This condition is almost nothing, just like a golden cake falling from the world.
