Chapter 336 Duke Wei clapping his hands (2)

Chapter 336: Mr. Wei clapped his hands (2)

Hiding on Tulou Mountain, the young general Luo Wuqian asked quietly: "General Li, the general is a little confused."

This person is a brave general under the command of Songmo Governor Li Jinzhong, because most of the soldiers in Li Jinxing were mainly Martialis, and there were also a small number of Khitans. When he heard that Li Jinxing went to Qinghai, Luo Wuzhong recommended himself and asked to follow Li Jinxing. At this time, Luo Wuzhong had no reputation at all, and everyone did not care. Li Jinxing also brought some soldiers over and saw that he was extremely brave and brought to Qinghai. If the Tang Dynasty army was defeated and Li Jinxing's soldiers also returned to Liaodong, then this period of history might be erased by history books.

In fact, Li Jinxing did not pay much attention to him and appointed him as a squad. But later after hearing the prince's remarks, he felt quite moved. The prince could do this, so I was a man of the squad, so I should not have any prejudice. So one day I saw Luo Wuzhong in training and outstanding martial arts skills, so I let go of his prejudice and transferred him to sit next to him to sit in a small captain. This was the only way, I was too young.

"What's wrong with it?"

"General Li, if our 12,000 troops suddenly emerge and thousands of soldiers in the city cooperate to leave the city, the enemy will inevitably be defeated. Why don't we move?"

"That's right. When we see us going out, the Tuyuhun people must know that there are ambushing troops and the morale of the army is in chaos. Even if the Tuyuhun people are all cavalry, and the morale of the army is in chaos, they will only fail. But don't forget that they are more than 10,000 people, because they want to escape and are eager to go home, we blocked their only way home. Even if they fight, even if they win, they will win miserably."

"The plan will be released?"

Anyway, he was waiting, and was bored, Li Jinxing started talking casually and said, "Do you know a saying: "There is a battle and a plan, the next step is a diplomatic force, the next step is a war, the next step is a war, the next step is a war, the next step is a city."

"I've heard of it."

"Cities are dead, but people are alive. The prince once asked me a question. If we give up Shancheng, Shanzhou, Guzhou and Hezhou together in exchange for the 200,000 troops of Tuyuhun and Tubo people, is it worth it?"

"It's worth it," Luo Wuqian replied immediately. It doesn't matter if he loses 10,000 or 20,000 people. If he loses 200,000 people, even Tuyuhun and Tubo will not be able to recover their vitality in ten or eight years. As for the lost city, it is to occupy it again.

"But what are the strengths and weaknesses of the enemy?"

Luo Wuzheng looked at the Tuyuhun people who were besieging Shancheng in the distance and thought for a while and said, "The Tuyuhun people came here this time, all of them were cavalry."

"This is nonsense. How many people in the Tuyuhun battle have infantry?"

There are, there are, when you get off your horse when you set up camp, or when you guard the city, you can't fight immediately. But it is rare in field battles. Which family has no horses? They have grown up grazing on horseback since childhood, and who is so stupid that they don't ride horses and get off their horses to do field battles in infantry?

But Li Jinxing's eyes shone when he said this.

This time, Su Hegui dispatched more than 10,000 cavalry to come quickly, not only soldiers, but also more than 10,000 horses. The mounts under the squads were not counted, but also two or three thousand pack horses. This was a gift from God. There were many horses in the Tang army, and they were brought in the capital and temporarily sent by the pastures in Longyou, Lingwu, but when they arrived in Qinghai, they were not as good as Qinghai horses to adapt to the weather here. Either the pack horses brought by the soldiers, what could that kind of horse do? Pull the plows and plows in the countryside, or pulling small carts to the Cao Market, and they couldn't even run, and even practice riding skills were not suitable. You could get together in other places. When you arrived in Qinghai, these horses could only be used as mules.

With these war horses and the number of war horses that were obtained in the past, they could form a powerful cavalry and fight against Tubo in field battles. This time, Liu Rengui finally fulfilled his wish in Shanzhou.

Luo Wu thought about it for a while and said, "They did not bring food or supplies."

"By the way, that's exactly that."

"But even if you are extremely hungry, you can kill horses to satisfy your hunger."

"Then there is not even a firewood, what will they do?"

This is a difficult thing. Although it is Tuyuhun who eats raw meat and drinks blood, and really eats raw meat and drinks blood? Tuyuhun people have been virtuous for a long time, even more virtuous than Tubo. They use meat as the staple food, but eating horse meat is mostly impossible.

"But, how do you do it?"

"You will see it later." After looking at the battle situation under the city, he shouted: "Send the order and prepare to attack."

...

The Tuyuhun people siege the city and cross the moat.

There are many types of wooden ladders for siege. The best one is the cloud ladder in the Central Plains. There are six wheels below, which can be folded in the middle and there is a baffle on top. People push the wheels under the baffle to prevent bows and arrows from the head of the city. When siege, they raise the ladder and push it under the city wall. Then the soldiers raise their shields from the baffle and use the ladder to climb to the city.

It is not invincible either. If there is a huge rolling wooden stone on the top of the city and smash it down, any board will be broken. In short, the attack is more mobile, but the defense, especially the one with the protection of the city wall, has an advantage.

Tuyuhun people also have a variety of siege equipment, such as simpler ones, which are bumping into wood and huge car crashes, which hit the city gate. There are many types of ladders, but for the sake of speed, only one kind of wooden ladder is brought, which can be folded at both ends. After being pulled open, it is similar to the ladders used in rural areas, but the length is longer.

Seeing the Tuyuhun people climbing the city, Xue Ne shouted: "Smash!"

When huge stones were smashed down, a shrill sound of ghosts and wolves cried and howled under the city wall immediately.

However, because of lack of "precaution", most of the soldiers in the city woke up from their sleep, so some soldiers came to the city to support them one after another, but there were still few people who were guarding the city, but they did not guard against those who came from afar.

As if seeing the dawn of victory, Su Hegui shouted: "Run for me, those who enter the city will be allowed to burn, kill, loot at will."

"Here!" All the soldiers were energetic. Shancheng was not big, but the land residence was about to rush, and Qinghai's important business hub. There were many people in the city, but there were many shops. At least in the view of these poor Tuyuhun people, it was a small golden city.

One by one, they flocked to it.

There was a fierce battle outside the city wall, but there was a quiet inside. Li Wei was taking the guards to retreat to the urn city, and on the street, he happened to see soldiers pushing out Murong Zhi and others.

There was a cloth stuffed in his mouth, but they stared at Li Wei with hatred eyes. These people were the most trusted soldiers in Sugui's hands, and they were also dead soldiers. However, Li Wei did not sympathize with him. He nodded and a group of soldiers flashed out of the house. In addition to many people holding torches, several were dressed in civilians.

Then these people began to light the house with torches and shouted loudly in Tuyuhun's words: "Kill, kill."

He shouted while shouting.

Before Murong Zhi could figure it out, Qi Biming walked over and said, "You are all heroes, it's a pity that you are not aware of right and wrong, and have made an advocacy for the tiger. But let you die and understand, I tell you, we will let your army enter the city as you wish later."

I didn't react at first, but after following Su and Gui Shijiu, I finally figured it out, my body kept twisting, and my eyes flashed with frightened eyes.

Seeing Li Wei walking away, Qi Ziming said, "It's chopped."

The soldiers raised their swords, cut the heads of these people to the ground, and then scattered them all over the streets. They even put on Tang Dynasty armor for them and disguised themselves as Tang soldiers who fought to death. The people dressed in civilians drew blood from the ground, climbed up to the top of the city, and fought with the soldiers on the top of the city. However, they were outnumbered and were "shot" one by one in the blink of an eye. Xue Na took Murong Zhi's head from the soldiers and threw it outside the moat.

Murong Zhi knew him, Su Hegui was furious and shouted: "Go to the city and be beaten up with blood!"

Not only did it burn, kill, loot the soldiers, but it also slaughtered the city.

"Bloody! Bloody!" The Tuyuhun soldiers shouted loudly. The words deeply stimulated them. Since they were bloody, it was a rare opportunity to do whatever they wanted in their lives. They continued to attack the city head like wild animals.

Su Hegui continued to watch the movements in the city, and he could not see them outside the city. He might hear the shouts of killing in the city, and he could also see the thick smoke coming from the burning of the house. However, the shouts of killing became weaker, and he felt heartbroken. He knew that cooperation in entering the city would play an important role, but after all, they were his confidants.

Finally, it played a role, attacking inside and outside. The Tang army on the top of the city became panicked. While fighting with the Tuyuhun people outside the city, they also raised their bows and arrows to shoot at the city.

"All of them are good men of Tuyuhun. I don't know how many heroes can survive inside." Su Hegui murmured. As soon as he spoke, more soldiers rushed to the top of the city. Xue Na shot a Tuyuhun soldier who was fighting against the Tang army on the top of the city with an arrow, and shouted: "Retreat."

It's almost time.

Hundreds of Tang soldiers on the top of the city immediately fled to the city. There were still few Tuyuhun soldiers who climbed to the top of the city and did not dare to chase them, but some had already started to put down the suspension bridge, some people touched the city and opened the city gate.

"Enter the city!"

With He Sugui's order, the army rushed over the suspension bridge and rushed towards the city. The Tuyuhun people below the city also returned from the earthen embankment, rode on horses, and rushed towards Shancheng.

...

It was for this moment that Li Jinxing shouted loudly: "Chong."

Luo Wu climbed up and said, "General Li, my subordinates understand. If they rushed out just now, the Tuyuhun people would have been desperate. Even if they win, they would have won a miserable victory. But now they are different. Since they have obtained the city of Shancheng, they can attack and retreat and defend, and they can even get a large amount of weapons from the warehouse in the city. In the dark, they don't know where our army came from and how many. It's better to enter the city and wait for the dawn to judge the situation. At this time, there must be an ambush in the city."

"What else?" Li Jinxing asked with a smile. This Khitan is amazing in the future. If he had a wise master to guide him, he would definitely be a talented general.

"Also, although there is a layout, the city has transferred all the people to warehouses for the safety of the people, and even the property is taken away by the people. If they don't enter the city, the Tuyuhun people will definitely doubt it once they enter the city. However, when our army forces us, they have to hurry into the city. They can't remember to notice it."

"Not bad, what else?"

"In the wild, they are cavalrymen, their speed is their strengths, but when they enter the city, they become their weaknesses. If Shancheng is really in their hands, it would be a problem. The two strong warehouses are in the hands of our army, and there are a large number of long-range weapons. They can also use the corner tower to cover up the city wall, and shoot at them from a high point. Furthermore, Shancheng is a big city on this side, but it is nothing in the Central Plains. More than 10,000 people snare the city, and even war horses, almost all the streets are filled. Anyone can shoot gunpowder, which can kill a lot."
