The romantic of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 546 The beacon 5

Hara Lake, located at the foot of Shule Nanshan, the origin of the Buha River, is adjacent to the Buha River but not connected. The lake is extremely shallow, and the surface of the lake is extremely wide, and the water is salty and dark. It is also known as the "Black Sea" or "Wuhai". Wuhai City (now only ruins) is located, the important pass of the Tangbo Ancient Road.

Wuhai City is built by the lake and the river. It is the only place where Tuyuhun enters Tubo. When the army is stationed at most, there were 15,000 people, but there are few permanent residents, and only a small number of the family members of the army. It is a typical military fortress-type city. It occupies a small area, that is, four miles round, and the wall is made of stone, but not very It is only about three feet high. Generally speaking, it is because the nomads do not have the habit of guarding the city, so they do not pay much attention to the process of building the city. It doesn't matter.

In the early years, when Xue Rengui attacked Tubo, after capturing the city with strange soldiers, he had repaired the city and planned to defend it with danger to lure the Tubo army to attack. Unfortunately, Gar Qinling was not fooled. He did not attack Wuhai and turned to attack Xue Rengui's heavy troops, thus forcing Xue Rengui to take the initiative to give up Wuhai City. In the end, it was defeated in the Battle of Dafeichuan. At that time, the Tang army withdrew in a hurry. Although the city defense of the city was destroyed to a certain extent, it was completely strange that after the Tubo people recovered the city, they did not repair the damaged city defense fortifications. They just stationed a large army here. Maybe they thought that Wuhai City was located. Tuyuhun's inner abdomen should not be attacked by the Tang army again. Of course, wishful thinking has never been a reality. Six years later, the Tang army appeared under the city again - Wang Bing's army, who attacked hundreds of miles, rushed to Wuhai at three o'clock on August 29!

"The whole army stops!"

In the speed of the horse, looking at the approaching Wuhai City, Wang Bing's tight face not only did not relax, but also was much more solemn. Just because the journey was too smooth, except for the attack of several teams of Tubo sentries, he had not been blocked, and even nomads had never seen it. After half of the time, there was obviously something wrong with this situation. At another look, his army had rushed to a place less than two miles away from the city, and there was actually a dead silence at the top of the city. Wang Bing's doubts in his heart inevitably deepened. For the sake of caution, he did not dare to wave his army and go straight to the head of the city, but carefully strangled the soldiers and horses one miles away from the city. .

"General, the situation seems to be wrong. I'm afraid in this city..."

After Wang Bing strangled the soldiers and horses, he was not in a hurry to make a decision. Instead, he looked at the empty city head thoughtfully and said nothing for a long time. Wan Liangcai, the guerrilla general who followed him closely beside him, also had a bad feeling. He rode forward and opened his mouth to inquire.

"Hahaha..."

He didn't wait for Wan Liang to finish his words, but he heard a loud laughter suddenly sounded on the head of the city. Even if he saw a member with his cheeks and Hu Da would lean out of the city plate, he proudly pointed to the Tang army under the city and roared loudly in an unsavable Hanwen: "Tang Kou under the city, listen, Mr. It's a Fan Wanfu. Sunalu, you are the master of my family. You are not only waiting, but also the old thief of Li Jinxing is already doomed. If you don't surrender early, you will be dead and have no place to be buried!"

"Hu ho, ho ho, ho..."

As soon as Wan Liangcai's voice fell, a burst of vigorous shouts suddenly sounded. Countless Tubo soldiers suddenly appeared on the originally empty city, with knives and guns in their hands, bright armor, and the banners rose to the sky.

"General Liu, I will lead your troops to line up on the spot to prevent sneak attacks by thieves. General Wan, you will immediately lead your troops to cut trees as ladders and prepare to attack the city!"

Although Su Nalu's words are extremely arrogant, it sounds like a false threat, but Wang Bing knows that something is really an accident, but Wang Bing knows better that in such a field at present, once the army's heart is shaken, it will be the end of the disaster. At this time, whether it is hesitating to fight or withdrawing troops, It is difficult to live. Only by forcibly attacking Wuhai City can there be a glimmer of vitality. In view of this, Wang Bing didn't pay attention to the noise of the defenders at the head of the city at all, and his face was in awe.

"No!"

Wan Liangcai, the commander of the foot army, and Liu Shuangshun, the cavalry lieutenant, are both old people in the Anxi army. They are all people who have experienced hundreds of battles. They will not know the embarrass of their current situation, but they do not lack the courage to fight. Hearing Wang Bing's order, they immediately understood Wang Bing's plan and did not dare to delay. Qi Qi agreed. Each horse marched to the front of the battle, shouting loudly to make the troops disperse.

"B bastard, the dog thief who should be killed! Come on, open the city and attack!"

Su Nalu performed proudly on the top of the city. He thought that even if the Tang army did not withdraw because of this, it should have been panicked, but he didn't expect that the Tang army completely regarded a well-planned drama as air. There was not even a trace of reaction. He was choked and blushed and jumped angrily. , roaring repeatedly to attack the troops.

"General, no, no, no. There is a strict order. We can only defend, and we can't attack without authorization. It's only three days. It's a great achievement. Please ask the general to take back his life."

Hearing that Su Nalu ordered so, his deputy general Lu Yanda was anxious and hurriedly stood up and persuaded him bitterly.

"Hmm, I'm so angry. If Tang Kou is rampant like this, how can he be so angry if he doesn't kill him? Needless to say more, the Tang thieves are now scattered. Only a thousand horses are lined up in the city, which is a good opportunity to break the thief. When I go to kill Tang Kou. If you don't dare to go, you can defend the city by yourself."

Although Su Nalu is old and angry, he does not lose the eyesight of the veteran in the battlefield. It can be seen that after the long-distance attack of the Tang army, it is the end of the strong crossbow, and there are few cavalrymen who bullied the Tang army as vigilance. He refused to let go of such a good opportunity to make achievements in one fell swoop. How could he listen to Lu Yanda's good advice, which made him round his eyes and angry. The ground scolded him.

"Since the general is going to fight, the last general dares not resist the order. If he attacks now, the marching army seems to be useless, and it is managed by the last general. Is it good to plunder the general at the head of the city?"

Seeing that Sunalu's idea had been decided, although Lu Yanda did not want to do anything, he did not dare to persuade him any more. He could only retreat and ask for the second way.

"That's all, it's up to you!"

Xisunalu and Lu Yanda are at the same level. They are both captains. In the past, the relationship is also good. At this time, Lu Yanda has made concessions, and it is not easy for him to live for himself. In addition, he believes that he has 1,500 elite cavalry in his hands, which is enough to defeat the Tang army at the end of the strong crossbow. Since then, he no longer sticks to his own opinions and casually applies it. After a sentence, he hurried down the city and went to the cavalry without mentioning it.

Although Wuhai is located in a bitter cold place, there is no shortage of trees by mountains and lakes. Although a group of Tang officers and soldiers are already tired, their hands and feet are very sharp when cutting trees. In just a little more than a quarter of an hour, the sound of trees falling to the ground in the woodland by the lake has been one after another. The ground kept ringing, but Wang Bing's face was not a trace of relief. The sadness in his eyes was stronger, just because he knew very well how bad his situation was.

This siege is already a backwater battle. There is no way out. If you don't succeed, you have to become benevolent. However, even if you conquer Wuhai City, for Wang Bing and others, you may not be able to escape. If the Anxi army is really destroyed, the remaining Hexi army is afraid that it will be difficult to reach the predetermined strategic plan of **, once the attack The momentum was stopped by the Tubo army, and Wang Bing's troops, who were behind the enemy, could not escape the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on all sides. At that time, it was not only the Tubo army in Tuyuhun who would cover up, but also the army in the Tubo Kingdom would also come to encircle and suppress it. In such a situation where there was no foreign aid and a shortage of food, it would be inevitable that the whole army would be destroyed. In other words, that means you can't attack the city and die! If you capture the city, the chance to survive is not much. If you don't die in battle, you will still die. In this case, Wang Bing's mood is really extremely bad, but as a general, for the sake of morale, the anxiety in his heart can't come out. Wang Bing can only strengthen his nerves and silently bear the suffering in his heart. It hurts.

"Children, kill the Tang thief!"

Just as Wang Bing was meditating, the thick gate of Wuhai City suddenly opened, and Su Nalu rushed out of the gate cave first, waved the long horse, roared and repeatedly to launch a raid on the Tang cavalry lined up under the city.

"Looking for death!"

As soon as he saw that the Tubo army actually took the initiative to attack, Wang Bing was not surprised but happy. Just because he had realized that the opportunity to win was coming, he did not dare to hesitate at all. He turned over the horseback, pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, split it forward heavily, and shouted loudly, "Get on the horse!"

"Boom..."

A thousand Tang army cavalry were originally standing with horses. When Wang Bing gave the order, he did not dare to neglect it. However, after hearing a muffled sound, a thousand Tang troops turned over their horse's back neatly. Everyone held the handle of a knife, and a murderous spirit suddenly rose up.

"Fight!"

Although the Tubo cavalry had all rushed out of the gate cave and were covering the Tang army at high speed, Wang Bing was not in a hurry to give orders, but waited quietly. It was not until the Tubo cavalry rushed to a distance of only about 200 steps from the Tang army's cavalry, that he was full of breath and drank a loud voice, under his feet. Kicking the horse's abdomen, under a high-speed start, people and horses rushed out together.

"The mighty power of the Tang Dynasty, the mighty power of the Tang Dynasty!"

The general order has been issued, and the Anxi iron riders, who had been waiting for a long time, launched one after another, roared the battle number, followed Wang Bing, and quickly adjusted the assault formation between the march. With Wang Bing as the arrow, he met the surging Tubo cavalry like a sharp arrow from the string, but the sound of the horse's hoofs was like thunder. The murderous spirit suddenly rose, and a cavalry duel on the plateau began...
