Chapter 520
Seeing the bow and arrow shot out, it temporarily caused some damage to the Tubo people.

But Xinuoluo had already made preparations. He didn't know if there was an ambush in the city, but there must be an ambush, so he did various defensive work.Immediately, some soldiers raised their shields to cover the dead corners of their comrades entering the windows of houses.But another bow and arrow shot from the opposite window.

For this defense, some plans were drawn up in advance, and some plans were discussed by Xiao Song and Wang Junchuo later.

The county seat of Shanxian County is an arrangement of Shanxian County, which cannot be replicated, and Xinuoluo is much more cunning than Kezanre.But Feng Changqing's group of bunkers can't be replicated either. If there is no terrain, at least the city will be level with the Pacific Ocean, and the flat terrain will lose many advantages.It's like Li Wei easily destroyed this bunker tactic.It is even more impossible to do this in Dahua County.Because after switching to street fighting, it means that the city wall is lost.This is the highest strategic location.

As long as the Tubo soldiers climbed to the top of the city and smashed it down with stones, all the fortresses were smashed down. First, they smashed down the surrounding blockhouses, and then used the cover of the stones to seal the holes with bows and arrows, followed by the second and third rows of blockhouses. All destroyed.

So some of the current arrangements have been made very early.

It is a house in the early stage, but it is absolutely impossible to be like the Muke Ridge bunker, let alone its solidity.It's just a brick, laid flat, and then put on cement mortar.In the final analysis, it is like the flat-roofed house of later generations.Otherwise, if it is built like a bunker, although the entire Dahua County is not big, the amount of work is unacceptable.

And not every house is like this, but the main house in the middle row is a flat-roofed structure with cement brick walls.But each house, except the main street, is interconnected with each other.This is for the sake of authenticity below.Otherwise, the Tibetans could use a large number of soldiers to dig the streets into deep trenches and cut off the tunnels.

This is not a big problem. Once the thousands of soldiers left in Guanjian City are cut off, there is no way to retreat.

In this way, the houses are not as strong as the bunkers, but they are better in quantity.Moreover, it is not intended to defend for ten or eight years. All of this will start a counterattack after the Lanzhou battle is released and the troops are released.The time is neither short nor long, and ten days is enough.Moreover, Guo Yuanzhen did not intend to stay with Wang Hua for a long time.

The later stage is the arrangement of troops.

The two discussed for a while, if the Tianxuan Army and the militia were separated, the combat effectiveness of the Tianxuan Army would be brought into play.But in this way the militia has become a chicken threat.This is not a chicken threat. Wang Hua left more than 9000 militiamen. Although the combat power is a little weaker, if they really become chicken threats, the commander-in-chief would not be very happy.

The result of the discussion between the two was to disrupt the Tianxuan Army and disperse it among various militias, allowing them to drive and guide the militias.And because of the growth of this battle, the blood battalion will have many more regular fighters who can be used in the field.This is also very important.No matter how this battle ends, the blood camp will suffer heavy casualties.

But in this way, the form of combat can only become defensive, not proactive.

After using up all the defensive weapons, Xiao Song, who personally commanded the battle in Dahua County, immediately changed the combat mode and entered the second stage.Handing over the city has turned into street fighting, and it is a very insidious street fighting, combined with tunnel warfare.

Seeing this situation, Xinuoluo also entered the city under the cover of soldiers' shields.

Some people have nothing to do, the main reason is that they are not easy to deal with the situation at hand. If there is an explosive bag, put it in the corner, it will not work to blow up the city wall, but it will be accurate to blow up these small houses.Or there is a grenade, throw it into the window, and all problems will be solved.

Guan Jian has it.

Xin Nuoluo was in a dilemma, now it doesn't mean that the Dahua County was captured, only once the army withdrew and the blood camp closed the city gate, it still belonged to the blood camp.If all the blood battalion soldiers in the city were killed, the loss would not be small.But don't kill them, continue to look for the next target. As the army goes deeper, they reach the city of Kuozhou. There are these troops nailed behind them. , it may end up like Ke Zangre.

Of course, although he was slightly disappointed when he entered the city and saw that there were not many supplies, he did not count on these supplies very much.

Now the biggest strategic goal is not supplies, but to attract part of the main force of the blood battalion to the second Hekuo prefecture with the least cost.Provide help for Zong Chuke to annihilate the blood camp.

After thinking for a long time, I finally decided to use the most brutal method.

Smashing, smashing stones down from the top of the city, and soon the houses beside the city wall became a pile of ruins.But it is only a few rows of houses on the edge of the city wall, and the houses in the middle of the city are also helpless.But seeing the piled stones inspired Xinuoluo.Soldiers hid behind stones and blocked those windows with bows and arrows, and then shield soldiers covered the soldiers and smashed houses with hammers.

There were still casualties, there were shield soldiers outside, and there were also shield players inside. While defending, they shot arrows at the Tubo people on the opposite side, and at the same time stretched out the hook and sickle to hook the Tubo shield men.However, due to unfamiliarity, the militiamen in the house also suffered some minor casualties from time to time.

But they were not just beaten blindly. The Tibetans suffered casualties, but these casualties were within the tolerance of Xinuoluo.

After two days of smashing, the entire Dahua County was almost turned into a pile of ruins, leaving only two small houses standing alone in the middle.

Xinuoluo sent someone to shout, and also called to surrender and not to kill.

Up to now, there are only blood battalion soldiers who died in battle, and there are no blood battalion soldiers who have surrendered. If there are blood battalion soldiers who surrender, it will be of great significance.But it was very quiet inside.

Xin Nuoluo was also helpless, and ordered his subordinates to start resting.A lot of open space was vacated in the city, and it was also outside the range of bows and arrows from the houses in the city. Xinuoluo began to order soldiers to enter the city to garrison.But he told the soldiers to be more vigilant. There are tunnels in the city, which Xin Nuoluo had discovered long ago.But no matter what the tunnels are, as long as all the houses are destroyed, there is no effect if there are tunnels. As long as you show up, there is no place to hide, and you will only be killed.

Xinuoluo would not foolishly get into the tunnel and start a fierce battle with the blood battalion in the unfamiliar underground field.

In fact, Xin Nuoluo's almost impervious command also made Xiao Song feel a little chilled. Many of the moves that he had prepared were useless under Xin Nuoluo's steady command.

Sure enough, he is a strong enemy, no wonder Wang Hua repeatedly reminded to be careful of this person, Xiao Song thought in his heart.

It is necessary to enter the city to camp, to prevent the blood camp from closing the city gate overnight.But the camp checked all the ground and sent people to take turns to be on duty.Faced with such a tight defense, Xiao Song was also forced to stop any plans.

After a night of rest, Xinuoluo started smashing again, but this time the situation changed again, and the two houses were still quiet.

What about the enemy?
After the house was destroyed, no one was found, which made Xinuoluo a little unwilling, so he found the tunnel entrance, attacked with fire and water, but there was no reaction inside.

Xinuoluo also thought that there was a tunnel leading to the outside of the city, but he sent people to search carefully outside the city, and asked the soldiers to check any suspicious places, and let the soldiers patrol the area within a few miles. The blood camp used the tunnel to escape.After wasting such a lot of work, if you don't kill thousands of blood battalion soldiers, it's not worth it.

But now that the enemy could not be found, Xin Nuoluo felt a little at a loss, and was also worried. If he escaped, he would run away, for fear that they were still underground.

After hesitating for a while, in order to find out the truth, he dug a deep trench outside the city, which took him another day, and finally found several tunnels leading to the outside of the city, dug very deep, and it was Outside the city, they are also connected in all directions, and they are connected together.After making it with fire and water again, they sent people down to investigate.In the end, it took a long time to find the main road, which leads to the outside, but not on land, but into a small river.The entrance of the passage is the river, under the river, and then use the river to escape to the other side, can you imagine that?

Xinuoluo cursed a few times for being cunning, and led the army to block these tunnels in resentment, then headed north to join his general Afuzan.

Instead of attacking the city immediately, they dug around the outside of the city first and found several tunnels again.Xin Nuoluo scolded her mother a few times, and then, out of anger, she directly drew water from the moat and poured it in.Then attack the city.

Although the two armies converged, the strength of Guangwei County also increased due to the addition of Xiao Song's troops.

After three days of hard attack, they paid heavy casualties and took Guangwei County again.

Entering the city, it is exactly the same as Dahua County.

Xinuoluo was so anxious that he jumped up and down, but he had no choice but to use the method of Dahua County again, and deliberately in the evening, seeing that there were not many houses left, the soldiers did not rest and continued to smash.The counterattack ceased again, and the house fell.Continue to smoke with fire and attack with water.In Xinuoluo's thinking, all the tunnels leading to the outside of the city are sealed off this time, let's see where you flee.

Still no response.

Xin Nuo's heart was bitter, and she didn't believe in evil. She burned and drowned again, but there was still no response.

Where is the problem?Once outside the city, the moat was blocked and the water was drained. A very smart person, he immediately thought of the problem.The upper layer of tunnel is fake, and the real tunnel is still deeper below.

But this time the blood camp also suffered a lot.Because Xinuoluo led the moat water in, although there are some moisture-proof measures inside, it is still underground, some water seeps in, and many places are completely submerged, so I have to hold my breath and grope forward in the water.

Fortunately, after several days of fighting, the soldiers became resolute.Then they withdrew to Kuozhou, but many soldiers drank a lot of water, and some soldiers panicked and choked on water because they didn't know how to swim.Fortunately, a comrade-in-arms immediately helped him out and rescued him.

In fact, up to now, Xiao Song has achieved the strategic goal ahead of schedule, and bought precious time with the least cost.Even better than expected.

Even Wang Junchuo didn't come in handy.The goal of this battle was to delay time. In order to achieve this goal, Wang Hua once again sacrificed Dahua County, Guangwei County, and even Huangshui in the west.Then use the tall city walls of Kuozhou and Hezhou to do the last step of delay.

In any case, these two state cities cannot back down any longer.

Not only these two states, but also Lanzhou is also impossible to back down.

But after this battle, Wang Hua was named the God of War, and Wang Hua himself deserved it.The fact is also worthy of shame, at least he dare not take three thousand cavalry, ran into Mo Shui's old lair and rampaged, invincible.However, when selecting soldiers under his current command, he would definitely be able to pick out soldiers with stronger fighting power than the three thousand soldiers led by Li Jing.

But his use of space and time made all the generals feel admiration.

Of course worship cannot be duplicated either. May I ask which commander has so many wise and brave generals to carry out his precise plan?

There are not many troops in Lanzhou City, as Zong Chuke guessed.Only [-] regular troops were drawn, and the rest of the troops were dispatched to Pingdingchuan, and Jiang Zhui's [-] troops must be dealt a thunderous blow.

In order to increase the defense strength of Lanzhou City, Wang Hua had to temporarily recruit [-] people from the city to assist in defending the city.

Don't expect them to attack. If they really want to attack, Wang Hua has become a habit of using good soldiers and good generals, and he has formed some inertial thinking, which may not be used well.But it is enough to defend the city,

Lanzhou is a city with a long history, and it has undergone many changes, not only the name is changing, but also the site of the city is changing.It was originally named Jincheng because gold was emitted during the construction of the city.But the origin of Jincheng's saying is not because of this, it refers to its firmness and ease of defense but difficult to attack, which is derived from the allusions of Jincheng Tangdi.

Later, the political power was volatile, and the name of the city was also changing.But no matter how it is changed, it still leans against the Yellow River and faces Langao Mountain in the south.Therefore, its easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack fortress status has not changed.

Wang Hua was at an absolute disadvantage in defending the city in terms of numbers, and even in terms of quality.But relying on the tall and dangerous city wall, they organized a counterattack.Moreover, Wang Hua's prestige is far and wide, and his personal command undoubtedly boosted morale.

Zong Chuke was attacking frantically, and the top of the city was also defending frantically.

Although some soldiers finally climbed onto the city wall from time to time, they were quickly killed by Wang Hua and hundreds of flexible soldiers of the Tianshu Army.

The battle was going on fiercely, and there were piles of rolling stones and logs thrown from the top of the city wall under the city wall, as well as various arrows, as well as poured boiling oil, and more corpses.However, there are still densely packed soldiers holding shields, pushing ladders, or carrying wooden ladders, pressing towards the city wall.

On the top of the city, many soldiers or civilians were killed by crossbows thrown from below the city wall.Now I can't even take out the space to lift the corpse down.The soldiers were busy fighting, and the blood on their bodies, as well as the blood on the dead bodies, filled the city with a strong smell of blood.

The death of many common people on the top of the city filled the relatives of the common people in the city with a sad atmosphere.Finally, all the old and young women and children participated in the battle, and they did not participate in the war. They braved the arrows and crossbows shot from outside the city to help the soldiers transport various materials to the top of the city.Or assist soldiers to boil vegetable oil and dump it outside the city.Or demolish your own house, move the stone out, and move it to the top of the city.

The people's participation in the war once again shocked and inspired the fierceness of the soldiers at the top of the city.

No matter what waves of attacks Zong Chuke launched, Lanzhou City was like a giant, standing forever.

The battle continued fiercely. The madness in Lanzhou City now gave Zong Chuke a headache, but he knew that this was his only chance.If after the battle of Pingdingchuan is over, the blood battalion will bring back the army, and Lanzhou will never want to take it again.Moreover, after losing [-] troops, his own strength has been greatly damaged, and his soldiers have plummeted. It is possible to reverse the pattern of the war to the opposite direction.

Seeing that another attack was repelled, he rolled up his sleeves regardless of his image, and came to the front of the formation and shouted: "Damn it, they are all a bunch of softies."

This sentence hurts self-esteem. The soldiers have tried their best so far.It's just that the defense on the top of the city is very crazy, and with the high walls, they have nothing to do.

Some soldiers thought bitterly: Idiot, let you hold the shield and try climbing the ladder!Guaranteed to make you pee your pants in no time.

Of course, this sentence can only be held in my heart, and I dare not say it.Not only did he not dare to speak out, but he knew that the siege was very dangerous, and he continued to attack the city with his head raised.There may still be a way to survive the siege. If you retreat, the [-] law enforcement team is not just for nothing.

The head of the sect was crazy. He took a step back, and the bow and arrow of the law enforcement team shot the soldier to death.

The battle continued until the fourth watch, and the defenders on the top of the city gradually thinned out.More than half of the [-] Tianshu army fell, and more than half of the [-] civilians who participated in the battle also fell. Even the women, children, old and children who assisted in the defense of the city were shot or killed dozens of people by bows and arrows.Wang Hua himself was accidentally stabbed and wounded because of fighting with six soldiers who attacked the city.

But the crisis in Lanzhou City was finally resolved.

The battle of Pingdingchuan came to an end, and the four fierce armies cut across each other and quickly defeated Jiang Zhuo's [-] troops.

All that remains is to expand the results of the battle and continue to pursue and capture the prisoners.

The terrain of Pingdingchuan was deliberately chosen by Wang Hua, and the Yellow River is not far behind. Although the surface of the Yellow River has become gentle in this section, there are still dark whirlpools, which is a big taboo for swimmers.The soldiers who set fire to the pontoon bridge were all good swimmers selected by Wang Hua from tens of thousands of people, otherwise he would not trust them to carry out this mission.

And there are also very few soldiers under Jiang Zhui's [-] men who can meet this requirement.On both sides are hills, not very tall, but there are many places where there are dead ends, and few of these soldiers are familiar with the terrain in this area.There are also very few soldiers who can really escape from the hills on both sides.

Either break out in the direction of Kuizi Mountain. At this time, Tuoba Tao and his men once again played a role.And seeing this situation, Ge Shuhan knew that they had suffered heavy losses, so he sent another five hundred soldiers to the top of the mountain. In this way, all escape routes were blocked.

Seeing that the breakout was unsuccessful and the battle was a dead end, under the shouts of the blood battalion, one by two, countless soldiers began to raise their hands to surrender.

The battle has not yet reached the third watch, and it is basically over.All that remains is to catch deserters, which does not require many troops.But there was another task. In this battle, the direction of Sanlipo did not know the situation, so the prisoners were ordered to take off their armor, and the soldiers of the Tianshu Army put on the armor of the Tang Dynasty, and ran northeast again.

Guo Qianguan and his Tianquan Army, Liu Tong and his White Tiger Brigade, began to escort nearly [-] captives and marched towards the Yellow River. Li Kailuo led the Suzaku Brigade to continue to clean up the battlefield or search for those who escaped Tang Bing.It will take a long time, and it is possible that most of the escaped Tang soldiers will be captured in the daytime tomorrow.

When they came to the Yellow River, Guo Qianguan blew the horn and immediately lowered many small wooden boats from the upper reaches.It was more like a raft than a wooden boat, and it had been prepared a long time ago. It was placed in the forest behind Lanzhou, and Zong Chuke's scouts could not find it.Hearing the sound of the horn, the people put down the small wooden boats one by one, and also held a piece of wood in their arms, and began to build a pontoon bridge along the Yellow River.

Zong Chuke watched the pontoon bridge gradually take shape, but he was helpless.Don't say that he doesn't have a wooden boat in his hand, even if it is possible or impossible to use Wang Hua's tactics to go upstream and burn the pontoon bridge, can it be burned?Is it possible that the ship can still flow upstream of the river after it is unmanned?

Looking at the bright lights on the other side of the river, countless torches shining brightly like daylight, each and every soldier of the Blood Battalion had a fierce look on their faces, and the tens of thousands of them could not be counted. Shrugging his head, Zong Chuke was going crazy.

He started the final madness, and with a wave of his big hand, almost all the soldiers were pushed up.

But seeing their own victory and reinforcements coming soon, although the number of defenders on the top of the city is getting smaller and smaller, their morale is stronger and their defense is more fierce.Wang Hua saw with his own eyes a blood battalion soldier who was hit by three arrows, one of which was hit in the chest. However, knowing that he was going to die soon, he hugged two soldiers who were attacking the top of the wall and jumped off the wall at once.

The battle continued for more than an hour, and the pontoon bridge was finally built. Seeing that Lanzhou City was very dangerous, Guo Qianguan and Liu Tong had already discussed it.The captive supplies and war horses did not come over, but the Tianquan army took a step ahead and rushed onto the pontoon bridge.

At this point, Zong Chuke's face turned ashen, and he shouted: "Withdraw."

Leaving behind the corpses of nearly ten thousand soldiers, they hurriedly withdrew to the east.

But he didn't know that this was just the first scene of the Battle of Lanzhou, the real battle was still to come, and the target was all 10,000+ soldiers under him.
