The fire flickers and the smoke rises.

The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty rode on their war horses and hacked and killed for a while. After enjoying themselves, they finally stopped killing, drove the prisoners who had previously slaughtered Rongbao to the grassland, and then began to count the spoils.

This battle is difficult, so there is no fault in the distribution.

Meng Fan took out the white paper and black ink from the Hutian space, which was not the cinnabar that had a beneficial effect, and began to gather the ghost heroes to be driven by him.

"What a handsome charm."

Li Jinxing, Duke of Yan State, did not hesitate to praise him.

During the march, the two of them had already discussed that if they won the war, they would ask the court to arrange blood food and offerings for them during the holidays to take things to a higher level.

Then the sky darkened.

The beef and mutton are roasted, and they are roasted under the command of the eight hundred miles. The generals are busy cutting them with knives. They eat the meat that is cooked on the outside first, and continue to roast the inside. During this period, they can chat while roasting.

To be honest, it can be said that this way of eating while sitting on the floor is not very polite. Whether it is Meng Fan or Lou Shide, who was a civil servant, they are still eating with their mouths full of oil.

"The men and horses mobilized from Shuofang and Hexi towns are already on the way. We don't have to worry. We can't take the stone fortress before winter. We will wait for the arrival of old soldiers from various ministries after the spring begins, and then deal with it.

…”

"Nearly 10,000 people were captured during this trip. I don't know how many Tuyuhun will be able to send out after claiming to have more than 100,000 strings. It would be great if they could all be captured."

The generals of the Tang Dynasty were obviously not so generous to the former allies who had rebelled, and expected more and more cannon fodder so that fewer of their own people would be sacrificed.

"Tuyuhun is not a success. The key depends on the war between us and Tubo. If we are frustrated, these guys are likely to betray us."

"Yes, more than once."

As they ate, the faces of the generals became solemn. After all, the Tang Army had gathered up to 100,000 troops from all over the country this time, and claimed to have more than 300,000 troops. However, military strongholds in various places must be divided into garrison troops, and a strong army of 10,000 people was needed.

Stay in the north and guard against other tribes...

From the beginning to the end, Meng Fan did not point fingers. He was an outsider. He would only take action when encountering supernatural things, or he would use the luck of the Tang Dynasty and his own merit to take action forcefully and reverse the overall situation.

the other side.

The royal tent of the Murong clan in Tuyuhun.

"Betting on the Tang Dynasty, if we lose, we will move inland. If we don't insist on going our own way, we will gamble on Tubo. If we lose, will we all go to Chang'an in a prison car?"

This is the form. Now that King Khan has expressed his attitude, most people present feel that there is no need to continue the dispute.

The main force of the Tang army is here, what else can be done?

…

Who built the stone city gate? Genggu mistakenly heard that the wind was falling and the stone fell. The white ridge that bounded the sky was better than the golden soup, suppressing half of the southwestern sky.

This city faces a river valley, with mountains at its back. The mountains on both sides are undulating, like an eagle spreading its wings. There is no other way except a narrow path. Therefore, if you want to capture the Stone Castle City, you can only follow a path on the ridge.

superior.

Now, after a short rest, the Tang army continued to attack. According to what the Tuyuhun prisoners said, the defenders here were still those Tibetans, and their numbers had not been replenished. They were hastily summoned and were only responsible for harassment.

"When I was a teenager, I went to Tibet here. There are two large and small square platforms in this fort, which are enemy outposts. If we want to go up, we must first take the lower platform. It is impossible not to alarm the people above."

A veteran with a gray beard was speaking in a low voice to everyone around him.

When Meng Fan heard this, he knew that the time had come when he needed to be used. He could cast spells, use thick fog and other methods to increase the possibility of a successful night attack.

There is nothing to dawdle in trying to survive on a knife's edge.

It was the first time I used magic in a national war. Whether it was the mana consumption or the impact on personal luck, it was all somewhat unexpected.

"No wonder Li Chunfeng and Yuan Tiangang met such an end."

The moon is located in the east, and is now completely blocked by thick fog. Groups of soldiers can sneak up to the stone castle along the hillside extending from the northwest, and use the shadow of the mountain to hide themselves.

Not long after.

The battle began, and the slaves of the Tuyuhun people were attacking the large and small square platforms in two groups according to the established strategy.

This group of guys kept their heads down and ran wildly. When they reached the bottom of the city, the Tibetan people on the city realized what they were doing. They shouted and started pushing up stones one by one.

Hundreds of slaves were standing in front, clearly seeing the situation on the city. The road was too narrow, there was no place to hide, and it was too late to rush forward. Their faces suddenly turned ashen.

"Boom! Boom!"

With a loud noise, countless large rocks were pushed down the city, falling right into a concave tunnel, and immediately rolled along the road.

Without any accident, the rocks ran over the slaves at the front, causing their flesh and blood to fly everywhere. Seeing that they were helpless, many people chose to jump down the mountain and roll along the steep hillside.

After the rocks rolled out of the road, the people following behind regained their courage and continued to rush forward one after another.

Then, ballistas began to be used on the city top to attack. The ballistas burned red and fell from the sky, causing another round of blows to the Tuyuhun slaves who could not unfold, causing heavy casualties.

What is cannon fodder? You can't retreat, you can't retreat, you can only rush forward at the risk of death.

They fought hard for a long time. At this time, a sergeant rushed over and reported to Yan Guogong Li Jinxing:

"General, the large and small square platforms have been captured, the siege has been blocked, all the Tuyuhun slaves have been killed, and the prisoners captured from death rows across Shanzhou will soon be exhausted."

Li Jinxing asked: "What weapons did the enemy use to defend the city?"

"Rolling stones, rolling logs, crossbows, and ballistae."

When Duke Yan heard this, his brows were furrowed and his expression was extremely solemn. He had been a soldier for half his life. He had commanded countless sieges, but he could only chew on such a stone castle...

The difficulty in attacking this place is that there is no way to launch it. No matter how many people you have, it will be useless. It is a narrow area of ​​thirty miles and the terrain is dangerous!

To be honest, whoever controls this place can control the Hehuang and even the Longyou area with a single hand. It is not an illusion.

"It's no wonder that such a big city can be famous in both the government and the public. Military strategist, if we capture Shibao City this time, we will definitely be famous in history and leave such a mark in the history books."

"This city is known as the Iron Blade. One man can guard the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it. Even if there are a thousand soldiers guarding the city, no one can get involved without casualties of twenty or thirty thousand..."

Meng Fan was standing high, overlooking the scene of the coalition forces attacking the city. Bodies were piling up higher and higher outside the giant fortress made of stones.

After successfully capturing two high towers with the help of Tuyuhun slaves, the Tang Dynasty first sent a death row camp, and then a coalition army composed of some new soldiers and Tuyuhun elite soldiers.
Chapter completed!
