Chapter 350: Feichuan’s Desert Grass (7)

The meaning of joy is overflowing.

I am very happy that if the prince had any accidents, the generals of Qinghai would be punished and he would be the first to bear the brunt. Not only that, Li Wei was approachable, but also had a long history of being the top, and he developed the thinking and behavior of some superiors. But after all, he was a modern person with a weak class consciousness. Li Xian was also good, and compared with Li Wei, he had more pretentiousness and less naturalness. Besides, the prince's policies towards ethnic minorities were also very consistent with his taste. He fought together in blood, which was another kind of charity. The prince inherited the throne and could still make new achievements and continue to make achievements.

Li Wei was speechless. He had been exercising for several years and his body was not weak, but compared with these fierce people, it was still far behind.

Let Li Jinxing hug him, and he couldn't move.

However, Li Jinxing also reacted, was rude and put Li Wei down in a hurry.

Walking into the city one by one, the soldiers first started to launch two groups. The first group Li Jinxing continued to stop and led 10,000 most elite cavalry to attack Wansu City from Hexi. This was the most important battle. The reinforcements from Shudun City were cut off, and Wansu City was in his palm.

Two thousand Dangxiang people were asked to go back first. Hundreds of soldiers died, but the harvest was also good. In this battle, except for the supplies in Hongji City, Li Wei did not ask for all the fugitives along the way and the supplies of Qushui Army. They handed them over to the Dangxiang people as compensation. This amount of supplies was quite large.

There are many war horses and weapons, especially the Qushui Army, and there are many food, cloth, tools for building cities, and clothes for winter. For the bitter Dangxiang people, it's worth it!

They left happily.

Li Wei then looked at Li Jinxing and said, "I want to stay for the future to defend the city. I don't know who can take on this important task."

It is impossible that Li Jinxing and Qi Biming are useless. But ordinary people are not competent. Today, the Tang Dynasty army can capture Hongji City, and tomorrow the Tubo people can also retake it back.

Li Jinxing pondered for a moment and said, "There is one person who is too young and has little experience. I am a little worried."

"Who is it?"

Li Jinxing said, "Where are you here, call Luo Wu."

After a while, a young general came up and saluted respectfully. Li Jinxing said, "I mean him."

"I ambitious but not old..." But hesitated, and was indeed too young, and asked, "You call Luo Wuzheng?"

"The last general is right," Luo Wuzhuo was a little confused. What did General Li want to see the prince himself?

"You come with Gu," he brought Luo Wuzhong to the top of the city and said, "If you come to guard this city, how should you defend?"

Luo Wuqian still didn't understand it very much, and he never dreamed that he could make such an exception. He pondered for a moment and said, "If you defend the city in the future, it is different from the Tubo people. The Tubo people are good at fighting in the field, but not good at attacking the city."

"Yeah, it's not bad." Li Wei nodded. It can be seen that the ambush battle last night was that unless the leading general was timid, if there was a brave general who could command a war, he would be in a bad situation and would not be afraid of the danger. Do not think that he would underestimate the Tuyuhun and the Tubo people after several great victories.

"They have a shortcoming weapon to defend the city. If the generals guard the city, there are many weapons to defend the city, the possibility of the city breaking will be reduced. For the people of Tuyuhun and Tubo people who are not good at defending the city, which is also a reason for the haste. If they defend the city in the future, they will immediately clear the moat and drain the river water into the moat, which is equivalent to an extra city wall. But this is not enough. With a moat, a urn city must be built at the bridgehead to connect the city behind, and the bridge will be tightly guarded." After thinking about it, he continued: "But it is still not enough. It is best to take down Wansu City and Baigu City together and build a city in Baigu. Then form a triangle, build some outposts and beacon towers, and connect them to each other, and you can deal with the ten times of the army's siege. Otherwise, the lonely city will be difficult to defend, and there will be no response to Wansu City and Baigu City. If the army attacks, it will be lost sooner or later."

Although it is not comprehensive, it is already rare. Li Wei said: "Okay, I will leave behind four thousand troops and hand over this city to you."

"Last general, last general..."

"You Khitans also have many heroes. Are you afraid?"

"The last general obeys the order," Luo Wu knelt down on one leg and bowed down. Another future tiger general was in his pocket. I don't know what to do if Sun Wanrong loses this tiger general in the future?

After packing up the bodies of the soldiers, they could not take them back, so they had to be buried here and brought their clothes back to their hometown. After a fierce battle, nearly 2,000 soldiers were sacrificed, and hundreds of soldiers were seriously injured. With the wounded soldiers, they did not stop and returned to Wansu City. However, they brought one thing, and all the heads of all the Tuyuhun and Tubo people killed were even ahead of their heads, and they also brought them to Wansu City.

When her husband left, Liu was not in a hurry and ordered calmly.

No matter who the soldiers dare not disrespect this Mrs. Liu, they do not believe in evil. Let me ask who in the small city of Fanu City, the soldiers are soldiers without soldiers, generals without generals, and they suddenly repelled dozens of times of the enemy? Li Zhi praised him and named the wife of Yan. This is a great thing to be named as a wife by the country? In fact, the couple are both brave and fierce. The husband swept the *** and made military achievements in Qinghai. His wife is Mulan, the daughter of the daughter, but because they were from the Marine, including the most powerful empty city plan in history, they were neglected.

The Wansu City was surrounded, and early in the morning, rested for a night, and raised his spirits, and immediately sent 10,000 troops to Baigu. This is another strategic location, which is a triangle with the two cities of Wansu and Hongji, and then connected with the Jishi Army to form a strategic depth area. It can guard the small and small Yugu, which is the most fertile land in Hequ.

Unlike Wansu City and Hongji Bridge, this place was just a valley, some basins, river valleys, and there were no ruins of the city. Therefore, the Tubo garrisoned here and was also building the city, but the progress was very slow, and it was still a large village. There were many left-behind soldiers, with more than 7,000 people, but it was easier to attack.

The soldiers took the order and left. Before they came back, Li Jinxing and Li Wei arrived. Without waiting for the 10,000 soldiers to return, Li Wei ordered an attack. In this camp, there were more siege equipment. More than 30 large trenchers were brought, lined up and shot into the city.

The city was bombed over and over again, and there were heavy casualties on the top of the city. However, the defenders in the city did not surrender. The area of ​​Wansu City was larger than that of Hongji Bridge, and there was a simple moat. I was worried that it was inevitable, after all, the troops dispatched by the Tang Dynasty were several times that of theirs. However, behind them, the important places such as Shudun City, Chihai, and Dafeichuan were very close to each other, so I could wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Moreover, the sentry stood on the tower on the city wall and saw a large army coming to this side in the northeast and hurried down to report.

As reinforcements arrived, the generals in the city became more at peace. The main general Tuyuhun Nohe came to the top of the city and looked out. There were many people coming, and they were also carrying some supplies. They were undoubtedly the weapons to guard the city. They looked happy and said, "Open the city gate and prepare to welcome them."

As soon as he spoke, he saw a ray of smoke rising from the southwest direction again, and the speed was very fast, like a tornado, moving towards this side quickly.

Noho didn't care. Wansu City was not as good as Hongji Bridge. Hongji Bridge directly connects to Dafeichuan, reach Shudun City in the south, and go to Mantou City in the north. The Tang Dynasty had no ambitions. If there were ambitions, it was a place that military strategists must fight for. This is why Li Wei was not very satisfied with Luo Wuqian's evaluation. Luo Wuqian said many useful suggestions, but this location was not stated.

Because it is close to Jishi Army, there are many garrisons. I sent people to rescue soldiers everywhere, going up to Mantou City and to Chihai in the west. The first reinforcements I saw were probably coming from Chihai. Most of the troops in Mantou City would not be divided. Where did the Tang Dynasty's Chengfengling to Chiling have more heavy troops than to suppress the troops. I dare not divide the troops, but there are Dafeichuan and Shudun City below, and I can send reinforcements to come. I said with even more surprise: "Open the city gate, open the city gate."

The city gate opened silence, and the suspension bridge fell down. Just waited for the two troops to enter the city and jointly guard it. But the thick smoke gradually approached, and Noho said in horror again: "Close the city gate, close the city gate."

You can see large groups of people, war horses, and faces that cannot be seen. You may see armor, standard weapons, and flags. You are from the Tang Dynasty. The six thousand reinforcements who were thrust by Chi Hai did not expect at the beginning. When you reacted, the Tang army had already rushed forward.

In fact, I am already very tired. I haven't closed my eyes since yesterday morning and I'm exhausted. However, the great victory has stimulated many soldiers' morale and made up for the shortcomings caused by physical exhaustion. Moreover, after this battle, I can camp and rest.

Each of them had red eyes and made a roar like a beast. The gap was not that big. The Tuyuhun people were also fierce, but they were not as good as guarding. The morale had declined and there were fewer people. They were panicked, and some had already started to escape.

A guard said to Noho: "General, send a large army to help immediately, otherwise the support force will be wiped out by the Tang Dynasty."

Noho was hesitating, and the Tang army's horn came from the southeast of the city and began to formally attack the city.

Countless wooden rocks and arrow crossbows shot down from the city. Despite the cover of the shield army, a large number of Tang troops still fell down. The casualties in the city were also heavy. In the distance, there were catapults throwing gunpowder bags to bombard them, and there were also powerful crossbows below, which were also harvesting the lives of the defenders on the city. The soldiers behind us brought wooden mud bags and built several floating bridges. In fact, the Tubo people had been in a short time to enter, and if they wanted to defend this moat, they should dig a wider range, just like Shancheng, otherwise the defense effect would not be obvious. Finally, various ladders were built up, and Tang soldiers climbed to the city without caring about their bodies and fought bloody battles.

"You can't divide the troops." Noho shook his head. The gap between the troops between the two sides was large, and once the troops were divided, even Wansu City would be captured.

This hesitation finally led to the war situation becoming another direction. Reinforcements were still resisting, hoping that the city would send troops to support him, but they could not see that the city gate was about to open and the suspension bridge was about to be put down, but now the city gate was closed and the suspension bridge was lifted up again. Finally, the morale of the three armies was shaken, and more and more soldiers began to escape, and finally defeated with all the troops.

"Kill!" Qi Bi Ming shouted angrily and led his subordinates to start chasing him.

It doesn't make much sense to rescue him at this time. After a while, the war ended, nearly half of the people fled in time and escaped, but half of them were all shot dead.

"Blow the trumpet, set up camp, and build a mountain of heads!" Qi Bi Ming ordered again.

One by one, they began to set up camps in Hexi, cut off their heads and set up a Rentou Mountain on the other side of the river. Hearing the horn, Li Wei said, "Let's start."

Didn't go out to see it, this was the most miserable scene since several fierce battles. Li Jinxing immediately asked the soldiers who were siegeing the city to retreat, then moved the heads out, and built another heads under the city. The scale was even larger, and the towers were more than two meters high.

Then he sent people to shout, "Surrender and not kill them." He could even select several envoys to return to the Tuyuhun land, notify their families, and then send someone to help him, and return to the Tuyuhun Khan, Hun Nuobo. He would settle them wherever He would settle them. The Tang Dynasty would never interfere or ask. If he resisted stubbornly to the end, these heads would be the fate of all the soldiers in the city.

There were still some Tubo people in the city, but not many of them. Hexi was blocked by the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty in Hedong was several times the soldiers guarding the city. It was inevitable to break the city. Finally, the soldiers who guarded the city killed all the Tubo people in the city and surrendered.

After countless bends, he first transferred the Lunzanpo army to the north, but he could not attract the attention of the Tubo people without sending heavy troops, so he did not have much force to use, and he even had to borrow troops from the Dangxiang people, so he took another bend. Finally, he got his wish and took the two bridgeheads.

The next day, the soldiers who went to Baigu City also reported good news. The battle was heavy casualties, with more than 2,000 Tang troops casualties. However, more than 3,000 enemies were attacked, more than 1,000 prisoners of war were captured, and more than 1,000 people were still missing. The capture of Baigu City also means that an iron triangle was formed in Hedong.

But the pace did not stop. After a day of rest, he moved Rentou Mountain away and divided it into two places, south of the Hongji Bridge and north of the Wansu City River. He was placed in a deterrent role. Li Wei rectified the army and asked Li Jinxing to stay for command. He embarked on a journey with Qi Biming again, and another unexpected march. He set out from Hongji Bridge and seized Dafeichuan.

July is coming, August is coming, and Dafeichuan is the time when the grass is bleak and the cattle and sheep are fat.
