Chapter 107: Improper Joke
.Shi Yifu expressed their original thoughts.
The city of Moufu is very large. Li Wei's military force can only be said to block people in Moufu City and prevent them from coming out. In fact, even people cannot be blocked, so they can only block their luggage. As long as they contact each other, they can sneak to the foot of the city wall, borrow the name of Abra, and use the hanging blue to hang the city head, and then enter the city. In the future, they can contact each other by using other methods, such as the Tang Dynasty army can use some special trumpets, arrange people to go to the city head, and then use the hand flute (Xiaosuo Na) to play some Persian music. After repeatedly blowing a certain paragraph several times, they can be connected.
"No," Li Wei shook his head.
The big cannibals investigate spies and suppress the pressure, which is an inevitable measure, but why are they mainly targeting the merchants of Hezhong? It is inconsistent with the previous big food policy. This is for wealth. There are many big businessmen doing business in the Hezhong area, and some people gather a lot of wealth in their hands. With wealth, they can reward their subordinates and inspire them to fight. Salem did not do this himself, but this intention was Kang Dahusband and others did not see through.
They got unexpected fortunes and were not the richest, but they were all rich and acted flamboyantly. Salem would definitely pay attention. At this time, he came to the city of Moufu and sent a large number of scouts to block the roads around. It would be fine if they didn't go back, but as soon as they got back, Salem would definitely doubt it. But Kang Dahuzi and others didn't know about this news. After thinking for a long time, they came up with a solution.
The son of the Banjie master brought another drawing, which was the original Persian suspension bridge siege tower. The base has six to ten wheels for soldiers to push, and is covered with wooden boards. According to the height of the city head, there are three to four floors, with stairs being climbed in the middle. The front is a thick baffle to defend against the attack of weapons on the city head. The top floor is a suspension bridge, and a large siege tower can be equipped with two to three suspension bridges. When not in use, a baffle is formed to protect soldiers' safety. When used, you can put down the suspension bridge through a cable and lie straight on the city wall.
The cost is higher than that of the cloud ladder, but the effect of siege is better than that of the cloud ladder. Li Wei couldn't help but take a few more glances curiously. The Central Plains definitely did not have such siege weapons, and the production technology was not very difficult. After a few words of reward, he sent someone to copy a few more copies and sent them to Tochar.
The next day, the prisoners of war continued to be released. Six thousand prisoners of war were identified one after another, and nearly two thousand were residents of the Mufu City. The other areas were released home. These two thousand people were taken to the front of the formation and let them into the city. In the public eye, Salem had a headache. But he did not accept it, and there were many people involved and the public was angry. He also greedy for the prisoners of war that Li Wei did not release. These soldiers were what he longed to need. They were either Islamists or pseudo soldiers stained with the blood of their Persians. As long as they were released, they could form combat power.
I had to accept it.
But Li Wei could not release these prisoners of war that were not distinguished. It was useful to leave behind, such as carrying baggage, building siege equipment, and treating them as cannon fodder in wartime. However, further identification is required and good people cannot be wronged.
The city gate was opened, and the urn was closed. It was locked in the passage between the urn and the city gate. Salem also had to send someone to screen. It also had to be alert before they could enter the city. But at this time, the Tang army suddenly shouted in a Persian sentence he learned: "Surrender and don't kill you, let you go home."
Salem was dizzy and almost fell down.
After releasing these prisoners, Li Wei left the Tang army outside the north city gate and remained unmoved, leading the Tang army outside the south city gate to form a camp and set out towards Nissa City.
Nisa City is also a developed commercial city and transportation hub, and its strategic position is very important. However, Salem couldn't understand that the Tang Dynasty army had the advantage, but Nisa City was also easy to defend and difficult to attack. Its area was not as big as Mufu City, but it was about the same size as Bari Hei City. If you attack one place, you had to divide a soldier. Mufu City intercepted it, and even if it could be captured, it was an unwise approach.
Is there any conspiracy?
Thinking of this, he felt bitter in his heart. He couldn't think of it, so he had to wait and see. For this reason, he racked his brains, but he didn't expect that the intention of doing this was to let a few people into the city.
After strolling around, we promoted the people all the way, that our Tang Dynasty has restored the country for you Persians, and you should also be successful and come to join the army. After strolling for two days, we returned to the city of Moufu. But unlike the beginning, countless people put down their sickles and hoes and came to join the army one after another.
Numerous spoils were seized in Guazhu Mountain, including weapons, good big food horses, big food knives, compound bows, and some high-quality armor. This was something that Li Weineng liked and kept them for himself. Other weapons and supplies were rewarded to the countries in Hezhong. This time, the countries were under great pressure to relieve their emotions. Some weapons and armor were left behind. It was for today, while their army was still in Khorasan, they summoned these people for training. Lay some foundation for Persia's future resistance to big food. It happened that winter wheat was harvested, so the people's farming task was reduced. So more than ten days later, like a snowball, they rolled from more than 20,000 troops to 50,000 or 60,000 troops. There was no siege, but they just brought these new recruits to train.
More than ten days later, Li Wei received two good news.
First, Li Jinxing captured Gabro City.
Gabrou was surrounded and could not be heard from outside. Surim didn't know anything about the outside world. But he thought that Gabrou's city was in a dangerous position and could be guarded for a while. But he also neglected the weapons of the Tang Dynasty. The earthen mountains were piled up, and normal weapons could not threaten the safety of the city.
However, after Qiebi Ming pushed all the scattering machines and fire medicine to the top of the earth mountain, and after bombing, many soldiers became timid. Qiebi Ming also heard about the war report of Wuhu River, so he copied it. After the bombing, he sent someone to shout that if anyone Persians surrendered, they would not kill them, provide food, and let you go home. Any Shiite soldiers who supported the Ali faction would treat them well, and would be dismissed and returned to their country after the war without a ransom.
After shouting, he attacked the city.
If you don't shout, the big cannibals in the city will not resist. But it will shake the morale of the army. All kinds of siege equipment will push the city of Gabrou and launch a fierce attack. Then you will continue to cover it with a fire medicine bag on the earth mountain, and send all the powerful bows and crossbows to aim at the enemy who resisted on the city wall to shoot.
After one day of attack, the Tang Dynasty sacrificed many soldiers, and more soldiers died. The next day, after three days of attack, all the soldiers in the city saw the Tang army's fierce offensive, and looked at the dense army, all full of pessimism. Finally, on the evening of the third day, more Tang Dynasty soldiers killed the city, and many Persians put down their weapons and surrendered on the ground. They seized the city gate, and the Tang army rushed into the city.
All the big food soldiers in the city were captured or killed alive, including Surim being captured alive by several Tang Dynasty soldiers. She left behind a thin seal and counted the spoils. 40,000 new recruits returned to Tochar and transported the food to Saiye City. Bo Shanhuo and Zhu Qiong and Zheng Qingze led the army supported by Persia and Tochar, as well as the five hundred soldiers sent by the Tang Dynasty, a total of more than 6,000 soldiers, and rushed to Jiling City openly. Because there were still cities such as He Sina along the way, there were still a small number of big cannibals controlled it. So he sent five thousand soldiers to escort them all the way to the land of Jiling City, and then returned to Gabrou to wait for the order.
Continue to divide the troops, let Ashina Liubo, the nephew of Ashinadu Nini, lead 10,000 Turkic and Tocharis soldiers to clean up the remaining Dashi army of the Kingdom of Qibin, Caojuzha, and Fanyan. Then he joined the army of Xifenglei and took down the city of Lanluo. This city is also an important transportation hub, the main road leading to Herat. The Dashiren also stationed more than 2,000 soldiers here. He himself led 30,000 troops north, aiming directly at Balihei.
The battle on the other side also began.
The leading coach in the middle lane must have high wisdom, not only flexible and maneuverable, but also keen reactions. However, this time the Shattered Leaf General is dazzling and there are enough candidates to call. This group of troops is very important, although it is to deal with Buzarif's 25,000 troops.
But this army was almost all the elite troops of Dashi, including thousands of heavily armored cavalry, most of which were big cannibals, and the smallest were Persian puppet soldiers who were determined to follow Dashi to the end. After annihilated this army, Dashi had almost no important force in the Khorasan and Sestan areas to resist the Tang Dynasty army and sing and forging ahead.
Therefore, Wang Fangyi himself commanded it himself.
Through various intelligences, Wang Fangyi threw the affairs in his hands to Tang Xiujing. This person no longer needed to prove himself with military achievements, and what he had accumulated was governance experience. He was likely to be the next important general archer or general of a certain border defense.
Li Wei did not say it clearly, but Wang Fangyi knew it. After all, some generals who were good at fighting, such as Liu Rengui, Pei Xingjian, Xue Rengui, etc., were all old. If they did not train successors, the country would be invincible.
After arriving at Bosishan, based on various information, before he learned about the movements of Buzarif's army, he decided to go west, that is, from the Tianma Governor's Office to the Gumo Prefecture Governor's Office, heading south. There was also a route to the west, heading south from Tiemen Pass, and this route was still a highway. But when making the plan, he gave up together.
Salem was not prepared enough to send a large number of scouts to the south, but he would not stop sending scouts. This important road would inevitably be the object of his attention. So he took the road and chose one from two difficult-to-leaf rugged paths to the east. When he arrived in Gumozhou, he had heard the news that Buzarif led his army to the east.
Wang Fangyi made another choice, abandoned Bali Heicheng, and even gave up the territory of the Great Khan Governor's Mansion in the west, and pointed directly to the Mohecheng in the Governor's Mansion in the Luyaozhou. Before crossing the Wuhu River, he led his army in a hidden valley and sent a lobbyist to the Mohe City and found the King of Wuhe. He did some lobbying and persuaded the King of Wuhe Country. He crossed the Wuhe River with the help of the night and went all the way, without even a torch. At dawn, he came to Mohe
Under the city, Ula opened the city gate, and there were dozens of Dashi soldiers in the city, all of which were killed by Ulala. Welcoming the Tang army into the city and blocked the news. The next afternoon, Buzarifu's army arrived. Seeing the city gate open, Ulachi sent people to greet the city gate. The Tang army came suddenly and there was no movement in advance. Buzarifu did not expect that he would lead the army in a swagger. This was the first Dashi army, and there was a second route behind it.
In order to save the safety of Gabrou, I was also in a hurry. Seeing that it was getting late and I was about to rest in the city. Halfway through the army, many soldiers suddenly flashed out from the roofs on both sides of the street, raised the bows and arrows in their hands, and shot them densely.
Suddenly, Buzarif ordered the army to withdraw from the city. However, so many people flocked into the city, and a chaos broke out, blocking the streets. Wang Fangyi led the army that was waiting to be worked hard and defeated the Dashi army. He chased the Dashiren to thirty miles away, killed more than 5,000 enemies, and forced the Dashiren to Moyun Ridge. Seeing the dangerous terrain, he camped and rested.
Buzarif was killed and fainted. He didn't know where this Tang army came out.
The next evening, the second army also arrived. Seeing that the Tang Dynasty had few people, they concentrated their troops and wanted to break through the camp. However, he led the Dashi Army, which was also the most elite army. After a day of preparation, he laid solid fortifications. He rushed twice in a row, but failed.
At night, he discussed it with a light and felt something was wrong. The Governor might have misunderstood the plan of the Tang Dynasty. So he set up a camp on Moyun Ridge and sent a quick horse to report to Salem and wait for the ruling. In fact, if he escaped at this time, Wang Fangyi would have few troops in his hands and would not be able to stop him.
This report will delay the opportunity.
A few days later, the scout came back panting and reported the battle situation on the Wuhu River. When Buzarif heard that he had finished his knowledge, he immediately led his army to evacuate from Moyun Ridge and wanted to detour from the south to Herat City. If Herat City does not support her, he can retreat to Nishapur City. If she does not support her, she can retreat to Guchang City or to Hamadan area.
But as soon as he retreated, Wang Fangyi followed him with his army. Buzarif turned around and counterattacked. Wang Fangyi immediately set up a formation to defend and blocked the arrow formation. After several attacks, there was no effect. Some soldiers were sacrificed in vain. He had to turn around again and set off the camp in the evening and suddenly attacked the Tang army camp in the second half of the night. However, without rushing to the gate of the camp, there was a wave of dense rain of arrows, so he had to order the army to retreat. After two or three days of entanglement along the way, Li Jinxing led his army to kill. After hearing the scouts' reports, Buzarif had to order the three armies to fight to annihilate Wang Fangyi's army, otherwise Li Jinxing's army would rush forward and attack each other, which would be more and more evil.
Wang Fangyi also received the news and did not retreat and fought. The commanders fought together. The soldiers on both sides had the same combat power and weapons. The Great Cannibal even had an excellent advantage in war horses. However, when he heard the news of the defeat of the Wuhu River, his morale somewhat affected his combat effectiveness. After more than two hours of fighting, it was difficult to distinguish. Li Jinzhan's army rushed up from the west. At this time, the Great Cannibal was exhausted and saw more Tang troops coming over. Even the elite troops began to collapse. Some sacrifices were made in this battle, but most of the 25,000 Great Cannibal's elite troops were almost wiped out again. Buzarif only brought more than 5,000 people and fled to Herat, and later gathered more than 2,000 people. All the others were killed in battle or became prisoners of war.
Five thousand people were left behind to search and suppress the escaped Great Food soldiers. The two armies gathered and rushed towards Balihei.
At this time, Qibiming's army also arrived.
Barihei was surrounded, but at this time someone came, Li Jinxing's wife.
Some things happened in China, which made Heichi Changzhi worry that these things would cause some bad consequences. Liu happened to be bored in Qinghai, so he came to Lingxi in person.
Wang Fangyi and others just laughed. Fighting is a man's business, and Li Jinxing's wife is a woman...
Qi Ziming also quipped: "General Li, when I see you couple, I think of Yang Dayan."
