Zhenguan Crown Prince Li Chengqian

Chapter 218 Battle of Kushan (2)

The large camp on the southeast side of Kushan Mountain is the focus of the Tuyuhun garrison's defense. It is adjacent to the Huangshui River Valley. The vegetation on the mountain is mostly low shrubs and pastures. .

The Tuyuhun people occupy the dangerous terrain here, built castle camps along several cliffs, and guarded the Huangshui River Valley and nearby roads.

The Tuyuhun people's camp has been built for several years, and it consists of a main camp and some nearby small camps.

There are about 4 people stationed in the main camp, and hundreds to thousands of people in other places. The camps echo each other and form horns. There are many defensive fortifications directly in front of them, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Moreover, once the Tuyuhun people were attacked and the battle situation was unfavorable, they could flee westward calmly.The main tent of the Tuyuhun people here is located on the west side of the camp.
After receiving the news of Li Daozong's victory at the first station, Li Jing officially issued an order to attack Kushan, ordering Su Dingfang to lead 5000 infantry, [-] cavalry, and [-] fine cavalry under the Ministry of Lost Mind, a total of [-] people. As the main general, he brought enough food and grass, packed lightly, and attacked from the front direction.

At the same time, Li Junxian and Qi Yuhe Li were ordered to lead [-] troops each to follow up, Su Dingfang, who was ready to respond to the former army at any time.
The Tuyuhun commander who stood in front of Li Jing was Murong Kan, who had more brains than his elder brother Zunwang. In his opinion, if he insisted on relying on blood to confront Tang Jun head-on, that would be hitting an egg against a rock.

His idea is very simple, relying on the capital in his hand, use the existing fortifications to consume the vitality of the Tang army little by little. They withdrew to Shuhun Mountain.

When we get there, keep guarding like this. Anyway, we won’t fight you. Let’s see how Li Jing can consume us and you.

Looking at the menacing Tang army, Murong Kan also used the method of the Han people to defend the city, dousing the enemy with golden juice and boiling water, and directly suppressed the Tang army who had just attacked the city.

"Hey, this Murong Kan's mind is turning so fast, it seems that he has learned how to defend the city." Su Dingfang smiled and patted Han Yuan beside him.What the hell, playing this trick in front of Lao Tzu, isn't that playing with an ax in front of Lu Ban?

"General, Li Boyao's ten trebuchets are ready. He has enough stone resin water, and he will let these barbarians warm up in a while." Han Yuan looked ahead with a smirk. The evil animal was roasted into a roast chicken, so I wrote the Korean characters upside down.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's do it, and at the same time order the bow and crossbow battalion to serve with rockets. An hour later, the Qianfeng battalion will launch an attack again. I'm going to drink and eat meat in the village tonight." After finishing speaking, a cold light flashed in Su Dingfang's eyes Pass.

A little while later, when the Tuyuhun people celebrated loudly on the top of the city that they had repelled the Tang army, ten catapults and a large number of bed crossbows brought by the Tang army below were pushed to the bottom of the city together. The Tuyuhun people hurriedly used bows and arrows to fight back, but due to the problem of the shooting range, it did not affect Li Boyao.

Then, after Li Boyao's command flag was waved, jars of stone resin water were thrown towards the top of the city, followed by rockets shot from bed crossbows.In an instant, a burst of fire rose above the city wall, and the defenders above turned into burning men, and the entire battlefield was filled with the wails of the Tuyuhun people and the smell of barbecue.

If you want to say that the stone water is not that powerful, you can blame Murong Kan for hoarding too many rolling logs on the city wall, and adding too many shrubs and dry firewood for burning golden juice and boiling water. It would be strange if the fire didn't burn well.

"My lord, look, if things go on like this, not to mention the turmoil in the army, we will have to be roasted to death here. The general thought it would be better to choose a group of daredevils to rush out and destroy Tanggou's siege weapons, so as to boost morale , Second, to relieve our pressure, we can't let the Tang dogs outside look down on our brave warriors."

The head of the ten thousand, Akedai, pointed to the soldiers who were burned by the flames and fell down in a panic on the top of the city. It seemed that soldiers would rather die by military law than being burned alive by fire, at least they would not suffer.

Murong Kan thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth, and said fiercely: "The commander of the Tang army attacking outside is Su Dingfang. I heard that he is Li Jing's student. You can see that his big banner is not far away. If you kill him He was the one who hit Tang Jun hard.

Commander Wan, this king will hand over the guards to you, and you will bring these three thousand elite riders with you to serve Su Lie’s big flag. Don’t worry about those siege weapons. Anyway, the fire on the city will not be extinguished for a while. We and Tang Jun Can't go up. "

Seeing the gate of the walled city opened wide, and thousands of cavalry rushing out of it, Li Boyao was so happy that he almost jumped up, saying that the child has no mother to take care of him, and he is worried that he will not make military achievements, so he sent it here, haha
"Brothers, have you seen those bastards who came to die? They are your capital to get in. The siege troops continue to attack, and the Mo Dao soldiers and the guards charge with Lao Tzu, smashing the barbarians, the Tang Dynasty is mighty, go." .After speaking, he took three hundred Mo sword soldiers and more than three thousand guards to meet the Tuyuhun army who charged out.

This means that Li Boyao was born well. If he wasn't Li Jing's grandson, how could Su Dingfang give him so many precious Mo Dao soldiers? You must know that the selection of Mo Dao soldiers in the Tang army is extremely strict, and the cost is too high. There are very few, and the entire West Kaido army is no more than [-].

After a while, Li Boyao, who had placed Mo Daobing in front of the front arrow formation, was entangled with the enemy.I saw him speeding up his horse, holding a gun in his left hand and a knife in his right hand, he stabbed with a bayonet knife, while he was speaking, he had already passed the Tuyuhun team, and his Tang army also rushed to an enemy general like a whirlwind, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, The three moves failed, and he was thrown off the horse with a single shot in the throat.

Immediately after leaping forward, he slashed down the flag bearers of the Tuyuhun people with a single knife, and those Tuyuhun cavalrymen who had lost their commander and were still charging desperately seemed to hit a solid city wall in front of the Mo Dao soldiers. It can be said that the white blade is frost flying, and the red blood star is flowing, and its deterrent power far exceeds that of the sword and spear.

So half an hour later, Murong Kan, who was watching the battle from the rear, could only watch helplessly as his guards were wiped out by the Tang army, and by the way, he sent a captain of ten thousand to others.

"Good boy, you did a good job. The teacher will be very happy when he finds out." Su Dingfa smiled and patted the immature Li Boyao. He knew that this boy was the teacher's last hope. If the government comes on behalf of the Duke, it will be hard to say what will happen to the Li family in the future.

That's why Su Ding just deliberately cultivated him this time and handed over so many troops to him instead of the experienced Han Yuan. After all, he still has his own selfish motives.
