Chapter 49 The veteran enters the urn(1/2)
The time delay is very good!
The Tubo army was extremely fast, and forty thousand soldiers gathered in the dark night. It took only half a day to kill him to Guangen Town.
Without any hesitation, Di Dayan ordered people to block the tributary of the Tao River diverted to Guangen Town overnight, cut off the water source of Guangen Town, and dug out the mud and sand in the river.
The summer morning came very early, only at 10 o'clock, but at 5 o'clock, it was already bright.
Feng Changqing and Jiang Yue received news last night, but they only strengthened the arrangement of defense and did not investigate the situation. Instead, they rationally seized the rest of the rest of the time: Although Guangen Town is not as high as Jincheng's city defense, it is as high as two meters and difficult to fly.
Tubo would definitely not carry siege equipment and would not be able to enter the battle immediately if he attacked overnight.
The next battle is crucial. Feng Changqing and Jiang Yue need to ensure that they have enough spirit to deal with any incident.
Feng Changqinggao stood on the tower of the city tower, looking at the Tubo camp not far away. The gust of wind blew away, taking away some of the sultry summer heat.
Jiang Yue then climbed up the tower.
Feng Changqing said: "Brother Jiang, what's the situation?"
Jiang Yue nodded, "Everything has been comforted!" When the soldiers in Guangen Town woke up and opened their eyes, they found that their home was surrounded by troops several times more than theirs, and even the water source was cut off. The psychological pressure can be imagined.
At dawn, Jiang Yue immediately became busy, comforting the morale of the army everywhere, and arranged for the soldiers to go to the three wells in Guangen Town to draw water in an orderly manner: When planning the urban defense of Guangen Town, Pei Min and others had already considered the possibility of water supply being cut off, and specially dug three wells in three places in the town to provide water supply to the entire town.
"The generals have checked each of them one by one. All military equipment and all the places you can think of. As for the current situation in Guangen Town, they are going to force themselves to knock them, so they must be able to knock them a bite." Jiang Yue said with a joke, with a big enemy in front of him, the two of them were the highest leaders of Guangen Town, chatting and laughing, and they were hostile outside the city as if nothing had happened, and invisibly gave the soldiers in the city a dose of tranquility.
Feng Changqing said: "Pei Shuai is right. The old guy named Dayan has been staring at Guangen Town. You don't know yet. After they cut off the water source, they immediately started to dig stones by the river..."
"Are they trying to build soil to attack the city?" Jiang Yue was proficient in military affairs and pondered for a moment to figure out Di Dayan's intention.
Feng Changqing nodded: "Someone thought so too. Without in-depth research, how could they think of using soil to attack the city?"
Guangen Town is no better than Jincheng back then. The biggest feature here is that there is no tree dozens of miles away. If you want to make siege equipment, you must go to the west to siege mountains and cut trees fifty miles away.
This invisibly brought great convenience to Guangen Town's defense.
The Hexi grasslands are covered with grassland at first glance. After being trampled by cattle, sheep and horses, the land is solid, and it is very difficult to dig the soil on the spot to siege the city. However, the land by the river is different. Except for the silt, the rest are loose wet soil. It is summer now, and as long as it is sunburned under the sun, it can be used immediately.
Faced with the situation in Guangen Town, Tubo general Di Dayan obviously put in some hard work.
Jiang Yue grinned and said, "The more they struggle, the more miserable they end up."
Feng Changqing also laughed in a gloomy way.
Tubo was very fast. They cut off the water source at night, immediately dug out mud and sand, and started to pile up mud and mounds at noon, making progress.
"It seems that Di Dayan is bound to win our Guangen Town!" Feng Changqing's expression was a little heavy. Pei Min trusted him very much and entrusted the burden of Guangen Town. If he missed his feet, it would be a bad idea: "Be prepared for the battle, and we can't let their mounds be built so smoothly."
Jiang Yue did not respond, but gestured with his hands to ask, "Chang Qing, how far do you think their mounds are from us?"
Feng Changqing looked over for a moment and said, "We can't shoot the bows and arrows at about one arrow away, but they can shoot the mounds higher than our city towers and condescendingly into the city and use bows and arrows to suppress them. The veteran is a veteran, and this distance makes us very uncomfortable."
"Use the cannon cart!" Jiang Yue suddenly grinned and said, "When training the cannon cart drivers, I specially trained their accuracy and found several talents. I dare not say that I was a hundred shots, and eight out of ten shots were a little bit away from this distance."
Feng Changqing was good at commanding troops and military commands, and was not as careful as Jiang Yue in the city defense. Most of the city defense in Guangen Town was responsible for Jiang Yue, and the operators of the cannon stone crossbow chariots were all controlled by him.
"What are you waiting for? Let them taste the taste of flying stones first... No, don't worry, let them be busy first, and then do it when the mound looks like it."
Jiang Yue nodded and said, "That's what I mean!"
The mound gradually grew higher, Jiangyue's dantian was shining, and she shouted with anger: "Bae it for me!" Twenty or thirty huge rocks rose into the air, and with strong wind, they smashed hard at the Tubo soldiers working on the mound.
************
Outside Guangen Town, the mounds had piled up to about one meter. Chel and his body were naked, playing with horse whip in their hands, shouting enthusiastically at the bustling Tubo soldiers beside them: "General Di Dayan said that as long as the soil is built, all of us will be ten sheep. If we break Guangen Town, each one will reward two herd slaves."
For ordinary soldiers, ten sheep are already a great reward, and as for the two shepherd slaves, it is a gift from God.
Faced with such heavy rewards, Tubo soldiers were particularly quick-witted.
Seeing that the soldiers' hands and feet were speeding up, Chel nodded with satisfaction. As a supervisor, if things were done, his reward was not comparable to ordinary soldiers: he could get fifty sheep, plus ten sheep slaves. Not long ago, he was so angry that he killed one sheep slave, and his staff was short of people. Ten sheep slaves were enough to prevent him from having to grazing under the sun, and he hid in the tent and enjoyed the taste of horse milk wine, and he was extremely hard to supervise.
Just as I was about to go to another inspection, the sky suddenly became cloudy.
Chelhe frowned, and a thought arose in his heart: "Has the sky changed?" He couldn't help but look up, and he was stunned when he looked: dozens of flying stones flew overwhelmed, and one of them even came down!
Before he could react, he directly smashed the huge rock into the mound and turned into a meat pie.
The sound of shouting and working hard instantly replaced the screams of exclamation.
The huge rocks drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the mound accurately.
The mound was originally loose and bombarded by many huge rocks. The mound instantly fell to the other side, burying the Tubo soldiers working on the mound, and in chaos.
The gods and soldiers in Guangen Town cheered in unison.
Feng Changqing laughed and said, "Everyone on the other side, don't blame the cannon stone for being blind. If you want to blame, blame you for being wrong with the wrong general - Di Dayan himself was incompetent, but he asked the young master to come and die!" He shouted loudly.
"Dayan is incompetent, but he asked the young soldiers to come and die!" The soldiers of the Shence Army on the city tower heard Feng Changqing's words and were full of energy, and then shouted in unison and sent the sentence far away.
The Tubo soldiers were extremely angry and scolded each other, but they shouted and turned into a noisy area, far less than the Tang army.
When Di Dayan arrived at the front of the formation, he saw that he had dug soil and transported it. After most of his busy work, he directly destroyed the cannon stones. He was so angry that his eyes widened and his beard was flying, so he almost screamed.
"General, what should I do?" The leader of the thousands of men who were responsible for carrying the soil came to report with a bitter face.
"Continue to pile it!" Di Dayan shouted angrily: "Guangen Town, I am sure to win it. Just so happened that Tang Jun brought us flying stones and piled them with flying stones. I don't believe it, can their cannon stone chariots shoot unlimitedly?"
Since he had sent troops, Di Dayan had made plans to sacrifice in his heart. As long as he could win Guangen Town, everything would be worth it.
The mound was finally built. Faced with the harassment of cannon stones, the fierce Tubo people used their bodies regardless of casualties. The Tang army's cannon stones and sand made a mound that was almost the same as Guangen Town: their original intention was to build a mound that was higher than the walls of Guangen Town, but as the height of the mound increased, the Tubo soldiers working on the mound gradually entered the range of the Tang army: the arrow feathers all over the sky fell wildly, and each pile was one floor higher, the greater the resistance they encountered, the casualties rose sharply.
Although Di Dayan made up his mind to ignore casualties, the endless losses forced him to settle for the second best.
"The earth slope has been piled up! The car and the ladder have also arrived. In a quarter of an hour, attacked Guangen Town." Di Dayan issued the final order.
************
The war is coming!
Feng Changqing, Jiang Yue, and Li Yide looked at the city buses and ladders that had been transported to the front of the formation, and looked at each other.
They never thought that the Tubo army had such complete equipment!
It's been a long time!
Feng Changqing, who was the most active in mind, reacted and said, "The veteran is the veteran! It's really amazing! He imitated Pei Shuai's one-night city, and he learned so quickly! It was beyond our expectations."
Jiang Yue also reacted and sighed: "We were negligent!"
Li Yideyu didn't understand.
Jiang Yue said: "This Dayan may have been half a year ago or even earlier. He quietly arranged a small army and detoured to Xiqingshan. Xiqingshan went east and west, and was a mountain range that stretched for more than 500 miles. They quietly made various siege equipment hidden somewhere in the rarely visited mountains and forests. Now they are attacking, they do not need to log wood, they just need to spend time transporting the rushing cart and ladder to the city! They are similar to Pei Shuai's original plan."
Li Yide was stunned when he heard this.
"There are cloud ladders near, the city carts are rushing, and the earth cannon far away, and suppressing them from far away is a tough battle!" Feng Changqing ordered solemnly: "Make good equipment for the battle, and at most half an hour, they will attack!"
Li Yide and Jiang Yue returned to their post without hesitation.
************
The fierce battle lasted for two hours, but Guangen Town could not fight.
Feng Changqing was a man who was very focused on orderly and looked at the overall situation. Jiang Yue was meticulous and flexible in his military use. He commanded the cannon stones and crossbows to work, constantly searching for the flaws of Tubo and attacking and killing on a large scale. Li Yide was very brave and stood on the front line of the city to fight. The eight-foot-long snake spear was like the blade of death, and the Tubo warriors who reaped the city.
The three of them worked together to turn Guangen Town into an iron barrel, which was extremely difficult to attack.
Seeing the casualties of the Tubo warriors being carried down, Di Dayan became more and more irritable, and an ominous premonition surged into his heart: he always thought that the Tang army was powerful, not soldiers. It was because Pei Min and Wang Haibin had too deep impression on him at the beginning.
Now, the combat effectiveness of the Tang army is completely incomparable to the defenders of Jincheng in the past.
The strength shown by the Shence Army on the opposite side is no less than that of their Tubo warriors.
In just a few years, the soldiers of the Tang army have changed so much?
So the recruiting system has such a miraculous effect?
Not only the soldiers, but also the commanders of the opponent's guards were particularly in place. He relied on more and more to fight less and had ground to offset some of the enemy's city wall advantages, but he did not gain any advantage!
In addition to Pei Min, this little Shen Ce Army actually has such a powerful figure!
Could it be that Pei Min was relieved to leave because of him?
The feeling of anxiety in my heart became stronger and stronger.
"General..." A thousand-man commander came to his side, "The soldiers are very tired. Do you want them to rest?"
"Fart!" Di Dayan was furious when he heard this, "There is only one chance. We will rest for an hour, which is undoubtedly a chance to give Tang army reinforcements. If you pass the order, no one will be allowed to stop if you don't capture Guangen Town for a day! I am the same, just stand here to supervise the battle!"
The commander of the thousand-man scolded him and slapped his horse to command the battle in shame.
Dayan licked his dry lips, feeling his throat burning like fire: he was just supervising the battle in the rear, and even so, the soldiers on the front line wanted to come and get more tired, but at this moment, they really couldn't wait at all. They looked at the sun that was already on the verge of the West, hoping that the dusk would come soon and relieve the fatigue of the soldiers.
Sudden!
Inexplicable!
No signs!
The dust was flying behind them, and the flying dust was rushing towards them like a surging torrent!
What's going on?
Nidayan raised his eyes and looked at him!
