Chapter 532
The city gate exploded, but Guo Wuzhen immediately discovered a very painful problem.

Originally, the effect of using the car array was very good, and with the longbow, it was simply a killer to kill this dangerous city.Explosives are also good, otherwise the city gate would not be so easy to blow open.

But the two didn't cooperate well. The city gate was obviously blown open, but because the chariots blocked the mountain road, the cavalry below couldn't rush up quickly, and lost the best time to seize the city.

Either loosen the iron chains of the car array, which must allow the soldiers on the mountain road to retreat, otherwise, if the front is loosened, the rear car array will suddenly cross due to the terrain error and the weight of the stone, and the stones blocking the front will be like Falling down like rain will cause great accidental injury to soldiers.

After finishing this messy work, Tubo is not a fool, he has already blocked the city gate with stones and mud bags.

In fact, the Tubo people have already begun to block the city gate, although they suffered heavy casualties under the sharp arrows shot from the longbow.It is better than letting the blood battalion rush into the city.

Guo Yuanzhen looked anxious, and asked, "General Xiao, why didn't you send more soldiers up just now?"

Now that the city gate was about to be blown up, more soldiers should be sent up just now to take advantage of the situation to seize a foothold at the city gate. Although there would be casualties, as long as the cavalry charged up, the stone city would be captured.This is not a small mistake.

"Director Guo, this time we are not attacking the city, but forcing the city. It doesn't matter whether we take it or not. There is no need to sacrifice the lives of soldiers."

Guo Yuanzhen suddenly realized.

No wonder, no wonder, just now he saw that the banners were Tianshu Army, Tianji Army, and Tianquan Army, but the whole number was wrong. Qian Guan led the Tianquan Army was led by the rebellious boy who caused Lao Xue's family a headache.

But now appearing here are Guo Zhiyun, Wang Junchuo and Xiao Song.I'm afraid that the two militia divisions and the Tianxuan Army actually came, and this was deliberately disrupting the banner to confuse the enemy.The real big drama may still have the East.

Guo Yuanzhen didn't ask what big drama it was, but he asked again: "Let me use a metaphor, if you want to take this city wholeheartedly, would you use your gliding thing, would it work?"

"It's hard to say, if you use it suddenly, it might work. But since the first battle in Shan County, many people are paying attention to it now. As long as the torch is lit at night to warn the sky, this glider will lose its effect. It is a storm, people. There is no way to exert force in the air. Under the watchful eyes of the enemy, it will become a living target. This method of siege is not worthwhile. Another example is explosives. You have seen its power. It is very powerful, but it is not as expected. Big. Blowing open the city gate is fine, but as long as thick mud bags are blocked behind the city gate, the effect will be lost. You can either blow up the city wall, but a lot of explosives are needed to blow up the city wall. Like the city wall of Chang'an and Luoyang, even using explosives is not even considered. This kind of explosive must be placed under the foundation of the city to be effective. How to dig a tunnel in a city like this rocky mountain? But it is not impossible."

"Tell me?" Guo Yuanzhen wanted to regain Dafeichuan, the Tubo guards on several mountains in southern Sichuan, and several cities on Dafeichuan, which gave him a headache. It can be taken down, but it will cost the lives of many soldiers. .This result was not what he wanted either.Therefore, facing the juniors, he also humbly asks for advice, the master is the teacher, who made him not familiar with these new weapons.

"Director Guo, look at the mountain."

The mountain was being attacked violently, not by the soldiers, but by the longbows that continued to shoot. At the same time, the trebuchets were restarted, and miserable howls could be heard from inside the stone city from time to time.

"At this time, the firepower has suppressed the firepower on the top of the city. As long as soldiers are sent to attack the city, although sacrifices are made, the difficulty and loss of conquering have been reduced infinitely. This is a big castle, and a castle as big as this is not Many, if you add this kind of treacherous terrain, there are not dozens of them in the whole of Tubo. As for the small guardhouse, the killing range of the trebuchet can cover it all. It is possible that the soldiers inside will take the initiative without conquering it. Surrender. To deal with these large stone cities, it is impossible to take them down without paying a little sacrifice. But our method is not without a solution. If the enemy is well prepared and has a lot of burning oil, by virtue of the terrain, from the top Dumping down, although the soldiers may flee down the mountain, the car array is burned. It is even possible to burn the surrounding trees. Without a turning point, the car array cannot take root on the mountain road. Or cut down the surrounding trees in advance Go, the same car array can't go up the mountain."

"Yes, what should we do in this situation?" Guo Yuanzhen began to feel a little worried.

Without the cover of the chariot array, the longbowmen could not take root, and even the trebuchets could not stand on the mountain road, so that the checkpoint was within the strike range.

"There is also a way. Every mountain cannot be so smooth, such as a protruding rock. It should not be very difficult to find two turning points. If you can't find it, you can also use a hot air balloon to put chili powder and lime powder in the sky. , of course there is also a way to resolve it, wearing a blindfold. But in this case, there are still ways to resolve it, such as paying some soldiers' lives, burning it on the mountain, then soaking it in cold water to soften the stone, and smashing a hole, Use explosives to forcibly blow out the bumps. In the final analysis, there is no invincibility, and it mainly depends on the commander's ability. Another example is the longbow, which can also be cracked."

"Tell me." In Guo Yuanzhen's eyes, this longbow is simply the pinnacle of cold weapons. How to crack it?
"First of all, it is easy to make, and I believe it won't take long. This longbow will soon become popular. Everyone uses longbows, and there are no strengths. Besides, it has its own shortcomings, and it requires soldiers to have strong arms. Most of them are strong and well-selected Fan soldiers, and only half of them can use longbows normally. Not to mention this, even in positional warfare, it is also possible to make an extra-large square shield to reduce its lethality. Moreover, the longbow must be dismounted, so it is in a disadvantageous position in the battle. You can use the speed and flexibility of the cavalry to reduce its hit rate, and the cavalry can use their speed to increase the damage to the opponent. Of course, if you use Properly, you can also use the terrain to carry out water and fire attacks. Even in siege battles, you can also make a kind of ladder. The front is a movable iron plate. Now, what about the lethality of the longbow. In short, no matter how powerful the weapon is, it is still dead. Only the human is alive."

"Not bad, not bad," Guo Yuanzhen praised.

Just like the last few victories of the Blood Camp, these new weapons played an important role, but on the other hand, although the weapons are important, the bravery of the soldiers, Wang Hua and the command of the generals are the real important factors.

After he finished praising, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Song more.

Maybe he only now understands Wang Hua's purpose of letting Xiao Song be the general among the three.

In terms of seniority, Guo Zhiyun has a lot of seniority in the blood camp, Wang Junchuo has not left the blood camp, and these two people are outstanding in terms of personal force or command ability, and Guo Yuanzhen even made a list of famous generals in the Tang Dynasty in his heart , these two are enough to squeeze into the top ten.

But in the long run, Xiao Song's future is probably higher than the two of them.

Because of wisdom, just like Sun Bin was disabled, he still defeated Wei and killed Pang Juan.

"General Manager, there is another method. For example, there are many stones in front of the car formation. Although this kind of stone city is rough, it is thick, but it still has a weakness, that is, it is not very big. Just pile these stones under the city wall, and Tubo People will be in a dilemma. If you continue to defend with rolling stones and wood, the stones may be piled directly on the top of the city within a few days. Without stones and wood, the distance of the arrow is not far enough, so you can only be passively beaten. In the final analysis, it depends on what you need and makes a choice according to your needs."

Xiao Song's need was to force the city, so he was not in a hurry to attack the city. With a wave of his hand, thousands of soldiers went up and replaced the soldiers on the mountainside. Behind the formation, this is to decompress the formation of vehicles, and it also happens to be a stone bomb for the trebuchet.

Of course, the catapults and longbows hit hard at this time, which was to protect these soldiers.

As night came, the blood battalion still launched sporadic attacks from time to time with the help of the car formation.

On the second day, another large-scale rain of stones and arrows fell on the top of the city or inside the city. At the same time, some soldiers held explosives and placed them in the hole under the city gate.Then light the fuse and retreat.Because it didn't fall on the city foundation, it still couldn't constitute a devastating blow to the city wall.Of course, if the bags of explosives were replaced by plastics, three plastics and fours, most of the time, the entire city wall would collapse.

But the huge explosion made the city wall shake a few times seriously, and Zhuo Jimangi was startled on the top of the city. In those few seconds, he thought that the city wall was about to fall down.

If Xin Nuoluo was a little careless in the appointment of the Battle of Jieting, it was a correct choice to appoint Zhuo Jimangi.If it were any other general, he would have fled with his men long ago.Although Zhuo Jimanri has always had a heart in his throat from yesterday to now, he still organizes soldiers to resist.

This is the base camp of the Tubo people in Jishishan.Don't think that the Blood Camp started to build a castle on Jishi Mountain. As long as they occupy Jishi Mountain, they can condescend to take this place back at any time.If this place is lost, it is not that there is no place to repair the city.

But how difficult is it to build a city here?

There are places, although most of the Jishi Mountains are cliffs, and some peaks are covered with snow all the year round, but there are still a few roads for the people on both sides to come and go, and there are some places suitable for building cities on these roads.But once the Blood Battalion occupies Jishi Mountain, can the Tubo people build the city under their noses?Once Jishi Mountain is lost, the Dangxiang people and Tuyuhun people on the south side of Jishi Mountain, and even the Dangxiang people and Qiang people on the east side of Jishi Mountain, may all be in Wang's pocket.You can even take advantage of Jishi Mountain to go to the Bailan Department in the south and the Misun in the east.

That matter was serious, shaking the dust all over his body, he couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately wrote a letter about what happened from yesterday to now, with a little exaggeration, and sent it to Xinuoluo.Don't rob things, you'll be done if you rob the base camp again, no matter how much you rob, it's useless.

The Xue Song Street Pavilion battle is not over yet.

This time he brought a small number of people, but they were all elite soldiers.

Not only did the Battle of Jieting stop Xin Nuoluo's eastward advance, but after the Battle of Jieting was over, there were still important tasks ahead.

Of course, the remaining [-] soldiers are elite troops, and they are not as high as the [-] soldiers that Gao Xinu took away. That is the real elite army.

It is obviously impossible for these four thousand soldiers to imagine Gao Xinu's wolf pack tactics to the extreme.But at this time, the Tubo soldiers fell, and many fled to the distance, causing the team to disperse. After more than a dozen rounds of arrow rain, the number of remaining soldiers was not as many as Xue Song's men, and the victory was sealed.

In fact, when Tigule took four thousand soldiers to chase Gao Xinu, the balance between the two sides collapsed.At that time, Xue Song ordered soldiers to attack, even 4000 people, not as many as the opponent, was enough to defeat the remaining Tubo army.

But in that way, many soldiers would be sacrificed, which Xue Song didn't want.

And it was also Wang Hua's repeated warning, unless the situation forced her to, it's better not to fight recklessly if she can.But you can't be afraid of the enemy because you are afraid of sacrifice. Every general must grasp this measure.

After these several bitter battles, the soldiers grew up rapidly.Not only the soldiers, but all the generals have grown up.Wang Hua even thought in his heart that even if the blood battalion reduces its personnel to 6 or [-] people, as long as it is a real elite and dozens of strong generals grow up, with such an army, it is possible to be like Huo Qubing in the future. Swept across the north and turned the Turks upside down.

Of course, there is still a long way to go from this ideal.

Tigule was still commanding the soldiers to resist, but facing this group of warriors who looked like tigers on the mountain, more Tibetans started to run away.

At this moment, Tuoba Tao yelled loudly, and slapped the horse's back with a big knife in his hand. The horse suffered from pain, and suddenly sprang up. Two got up, and Tuoba Tao had already rushed to Tigule's side.

Seeing something bad, Tigule's cronies rushed over to protect Tigule.

"Drink! Drink!"

Tuoba Tao shouted twice, followed by two muffled shouts, the scimitar in his hand raised and fell, and the two guards made him cut off the horse.The war horse was still galloping, and had already rushed to Tigule's side.

Tuoba Tao didn't know Tigule, but he had his eyes on Tigule from the top of the mountain, knowing that this person was the chief general who came from Tubo this time.

The scimitar flashed in the air, and slashed down heavily, with a cold wind sound.

It is true that this is a tiger general, and Wang Hua considered that Xue Song was under a lot of pressure at the beginning, so he let Gao Xinu and Tuoba Tao two tiger generals under Xue Song's men.

Tigule had no choice but to raise the straight knife in his hand to resist, and when the two knives collided, a spark shot out in the air.

when!
There was a clear and crisp sound, but Tigule's straight knife sank due to its weakness, and his arms also felt numb.

A guard next to Tigule also wiped it with a straight knife, Tuoba Tao bent down, let the knife pass, the knife in his hand did not stop, and wiped along Tigule's straight knife.

As soon as the blood came out, Tigule's head was wiped off by his knife, and the horse was still galloping forward, and Tuoba Tao took advantage of the situation to catch the falling head.

Turning the horse's head, he shouted: "Who is he?"

Asked in Tubo language, a Tubo guard couldn't help being taken aback when he saw his bravery, and replied stupidly: "Tigule."

Tuoba Tao raised his head and shouted: "Tigule is here!"

This loud shout was like spring thunder.

Many people on the battlefield couldn't help turning their heads, looking in this direction, seeing Tigule's head in the hands of the opponent's general, and they all lost their fighting spirit and fled in all directions.

It's hard to escape if you want to. The blood camp soldiers' horses have rested until now. Although the horses are not as good as the horses that Gao Xinu took away, they are more energetic than the horses that came from Tubo after a long journey.

The wide Lianhe River immediately became a slaughterhouse.

When Bangsun was still hesitating in the distance, he saw soldiers fleeing from behind, fleeing towards this side.

In fact, you can't escape like this. If you want to escape, you can only flee to the south. Can you find the army if you escape here?When the army comes, the common people are powerless. If there are one or two, the strength of the common people from Guanzhong to Longyou cannot be ignored.

He stopped a soldier and asked, "What happened in the back?"

"General Bangsun, General Tigu died in battle, the army has already been defeated."

Already defeated?Bangsun lost his mind when he heard this, but at this moment he also came back to his senses immediately.The army behind was routed, and his own army seemed to be at a disadvantage.It also makes sense, four thousand against one thousand is at a disadvantage, and the opponent is four or five thousand against six thousand, so it's no wonder they don't have the upper hand.

Could this be the true strength of the Tang Dynasty army?But why did the hundreds of thousands of troops make the blood battalion completely disarmed?
But sure things were going badly, he immediately blew the horn.Retreat, or run away.He fled south with his men, but after Gao Xinu saw him fleeing, he continued to harass him. Xue Song also sent an army to attack from the side.

When 1 people came to Jieting and fled to Xinuoluo's army, there were only [-] soldiers left.

lost?

After hearing the deserter's report, Xinuoluo couldn't help being slightly absent-minded.There may be reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty coming to support, so he sent Tigule to seize the street pavilion.But how many soldiers can he support, and how many Tang soldiers do he need to defeat the [-] soldiers under him?
He called several deserters over and asked what had happened.

He has no doubts about the longbow, and the Tang Dynasty is far ahead of Tubo in ordnance technology, and he doesn't want to deny this.But battles are still carried out by people.However, the confrontation between the two sides made him puzzled again. When did the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have such fighting power?
This made him smell a conspiracy.

Immediately divide the troops into two places, and personally lead an army of [-] to Jieting.

The original arrangement was restored, Xue Song returned to Duanshan with [-] soldiers, and Gao Xinu's [-] soldiers remained at Jiequan Pavilion.However, Duanshan has many more horses, armor and weapons, which will be transported back to the eight states after Xinuoluo retreats.As well as the bloodstains on Lianhe Chuan, as well as countless dead bodies with their armor stripped off.

Xinuoluo was not Tigule, he rode his horse and looked at it for a while, not to laugh at the other party's arrangement.That's right, Broken Mountain is not big, it's an isolated mountain, not connected to other mountains, that's why it got the name Broken Mountain.But the commander of this army is definitely not a mediocre man. There must be a source of water on the mountain. If the siege will work, it will definitely work.Maybe four or five days, maybe five or six days, there will be a lack of water on the mountain, and the camp will be in chaos.

But can he besiege the opponent for five or six days in Jieting, and the opponent must have something to do in doing so.

So in this way, this broken mountain has become the last garrison place, condescending, that is, to capture the opponent's camp. This is not a weak army, but a very strong army. How much sacrifice will it make?
Who is this commanding general?Could it be that Zhang Renyuan came in person?

He was skeptical, but he wanted to get rid of it in another place, so he immediately ordered [-] troops to get rid of Jiequan Pavilion.

Seeing the enemy approaching, Gao Xinu sullenly remained silent.

The sound of cavalry thundered on the ground.The Tibetans were getting closer, Gao Xinu yelled, "Let go!"

A sharp arrow flew out, and one by one Tubo was hit by the arrow on the horse and fell off the horse.

Xin Nuoluo watched from a distance, and took a deep breath in her heart. Such powerful bows and arrows, which are two hundred steps away, still have such lethality.

However, cavalry also has the advantage of cavalry, and they are fast. Xinuoluo personally beat the drums to encourage the soldiers.

Seeing the enemies falling down one by one, but there were still countless soldiers in Tubo getting closer to the camp, Gao Xinu ignited the fuse in a long bamboo tube by himself, covered the bamboo tube with a pile of grass, and said, "Retreat."

Nine hundred soldiers got on their horses again and galloped into the distance.

Now Xinuoluo is still a little unfamiliar with the enemy's tactics, so when he came here, he had already told him to occupy the big camp, and the poor should not chase after him, as long as he controlled the dangerous place of Jieting in his hands.

The Tubo soldiers got off their horses one by one, and Xinuoluo also rode over and wanted to arm himself after capturing them.But before they reached the street pavilion, they heard thunder after thunder from the ground.The horses he stepped on stood upright in shock. If it wasn't for his superb riding skills, they might have been overturned and fell off.

The war horse landed on the ground again, neighing for a while, and he finally calmed down. Then he looked up and saw the direction of Jiequan Pavilion. There were continuous noises, and dust and turf were thrown into the air.And even the soldiers were thrown into the air by the huge momentum, rolling in the air like a rubber ball.

Explosives, this is not Tang Jun, Xin Nuoluo figured it out right away.No wonder there is such a fighting power.

He turned his head to look at Duanshan, where the flag of the Habayashi Army had already been lowered, replaced with the battle flag of the Blood Camp, a touch of red, showing bright blood in the breeze.

Looking at the red flags, almost all the Tubo soldiers stopped in their tracks, each in a daze.

But Xin Nuoluo was thinking about another question, why did the Blood Camp appear in Qinzhou?

Thinking of this, he thought of the unexpected strong counterattack in Qinzhou City, and he could not help but shudder. Where is he now, but it is in the Tang Dynasty, and it is far away from Jishi Mountain!
Could it be that after Wang Hua's great victory, he still finds it unsatisfying and wants to eat up his [-] to [-] troops at once?
