Defend the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 94

There are only two gates in the north and south of the military city, and they can only be attacked from the north and south at the same time.

Due to the high terrain, narrow roads, and the inability of the army to spread out, Mazha Tata attacked for three days in a row, killing more than 3000 slaves without even touching the top of the city wall.

The old soldiers and young men defending the city were not many casualties, and the more they fought, the more courageous they became.

Just when Han Shimei was planning to hold back the main force of the Mazha Department for a few days, the guards guarding the watchtower reported that the Tubo army seemed to be retreating.

The old soldiers and the young and strong defending the city are okay, but they are definitely not Tubo's opponents in field battles, and the disparity in military strength is too great.

Han Shimei didn't dare to go out of the city to chase after him easily, so he could only light up the wolf smoke, and let the guards who had been hiding in the area around Toutou Mountain investigate.

At dusk, Wang Hu, Zhang Ling and other personal guards came to report that there was no one in Tuncheng, Baiyun Temple, and Yele City. The Tubo army had indeed retreated south.

"Shiyu, you can't just let the old bastard Mazha go back like this. He didn't hurt his muscles and bones. If we really let him go back, he will definitely make a comeback in the spring of next year!"

"Yes, Siyu, hurry up and chase."

"We only have so many soldiers, how can we chase them?"

"Hang him, hold him back, if he turns around, we will retreat, as long as we can drag him for another four or five days, even if he is hungry, he will starve to death tens of thousands of people!"

If the old bastard Mazha were to go back, Saburo and the others would be stuck in the lair of the Mazha Department.

Han Shimei was more anxious than them, but as the commander in charge of Yele, he couldn't play with the safety of thousands of soldiers, let alone spoil the good situation created by paying such a big loss.

"Light a fire and hold three piles."

"Hold the fire?"

"Ah."

Han Shimei took a deep breath, and continued: "Wang Hu and Zhang Ling, bring a few more people to continue to investigate the whereabouts of the Tubo army, as long as you know where they are going, don't follow too closely. Send people back to report every two hours. "

"promise!"

Wang Hu and other personal guards bowed to accept the order, then turned around and left.

Han Shimei looked back at the regimental commanders and brigade commanders in the military city, and said decisively: "Order the soldiers to rest quickly, recharge their energy, and tomorrow morning, I will follow the officer to beat the dog in the water!"

Everyone in Tubo has horses, and even one person has three horses and four horses.

I have been walking all afternoon. If I waited until tomorrow, I would have run away early.

A group leader in Juncheng asked with a bitter face, "Tomorrow?"

Han Shimei turned around and looked at Yele City in the distance, and said coldly: "Tomorrow."

……

The terrain of Yingzui Cliff was more dangerous than the military city, and Tubo only attacked twice and did not attack again.

It was supposed to fight desperately, but it turned into a scolding battle.

Mazha Dunzhu not only made people who can speak Tang official dialect scold at the top of their voices, but also made his subordinates hold up the tail of a fox to insult Wang Qingxiang for being greedy for life and afraid of death.

Wang Qingxiang would not be so stupid as to let more than 2000 people fight six to seven thousand people desperately, and simply let his subordinates scold each other.

This scolding went on for four days in a row, and those soldiers who thought they were better at cursing were almost unable to scold, let alone think of new words.

When I woke up, I was worried about how I would curse today, and suddenly found that the densely packed tents at the foot of the mountain were gone, and there was no one there.

"Run away?" Anu Shi murmured.

Yuan Jingang pondered: "It has been seventeen days since Maza Dunzhu came out, and he has only brought a little food and grass, and no one has delivered it to him these days. If he doesn't go back, he won't go back."

Bai Zuojian didn't expect the battle to go so smoothly, so he couldn't help asking: "General, should we pursue?"

Just as Wang Qingxiang was about to speak, four beams of smoke suddenly rose from the northwest direction.

Master Anu subconsciously asked: "General, did Han Sanlang send someone to cast it?"

Wang Qingxiang was afraid that it was an illusion, so he stared at the wolf smoke, turned his head and smiled and said, "This was cast by someone sent by Han Shiyu, and the old bastard Mazha also withdrew. Everyone, the war has just begun, and I ordered you to light a fire and cook quickly." , eat and drink enough to go out with this general. Bai Zongzheng, prepare food and grass, no matter how much you have, take it all with you!"

……

There are tents everywhere at the Kela Mountain Pass.

The temporary granaries, stables, cattle pens and sheep pens stretch for six or seven miles, standing on the mountainside, you can't see the end at a glance.

After five consecutive days of fighting east and west, most of the scattered Tibetans were uprooted, leaving only the territory of seven little warriors. Due to the distance and the heavy snow blocking the mountains, it was really difficult to pass.

Han Pingan asked the game team to divide the newly recruited slave recruits into six groups to wipe out the remnant enemies who had fled in a hurry, while he himself led the newly rescued slaves of all ethnic groups to the Kela Mountain Pass with their trophies.

Li Chengye came back, Su Da Su Shi and Su Da Sagon also came back, with very little loss and huge gain, all of them were smiling.

Su Dabolu didn't expect that this battle seemed dangerous, but it was won so easily. Seeing the trophies, he was jealous and wanted to ask if he could get more points, but he was too embarrassed to ask.

Su Dashagun made great efforts and felt qualified to speak. He looked at Han Ping'an with a smile and asked, "Madman, I know you and Lao Ba are short of people. Can you share half of the horses, cattle, sheep and food with us?"

When people send out troops, they cannot be allowed to go back empty-handed.

Han Pingan smiled and said: "Yes, but we have to wait until the end of the battle to see how much is left, and then we will divide it equally."

After this battle...

Su Dashagun was in a daze, when Su Dabolu suddenly realized: "Madman, you mean the old bastard Maza is back?"

It is windy and a little cold on the mountainside.

Han Pingan tightened his fur, and said firmly: "General Wang is guarding Yingzui Cliff, and he will divide his troops to besiege. Otherwise, more than 2000 elites under General Wang's command will appear behind them at any time. My father is stationed in the military city, and he will also besiege Otherwise, my father might lead his troops to stab their knives in the back.

With only a little food and grass, they could only attack Yele City, and dared not go further north.But Yingzui Cliff and Juncheng were easy to defend and difficult to attack, not to mention ten days or eight days, even if he was given two months, he would not be able to attack them.He could only withdraw, otherwise he would starve to death and freeze to death. "

Su Dasushi proudly added: "From Yandu to a hundred miles north of Yele City, let alone looking for food, I'm afraid they won't even see anyone. They have no food and grass, and they can't attack Yingzui Cliff and Military City. Don't come back and stay there waiting to die."

"But at least he has more than 3 soldiers under his command. Can we withstand it with our little people?"

"We also have a lot of soldiers."

"You mean the slaves you just recruited?"

"The old bastard Mazha relies on slaves in war, slaves against slaves, our slaves have higher morale than his slaves, what is there to be afraid of?"

"But the slaves you just recruited don't even have a few weapons!"

Li Chengye was very excited at the thought of completely annihilating the Mazha tribe of Tubo. Looking down at the slaves of various ethnic groups who were practicing at the foot of the mountain, he said with confidence: "We now have more than 1 soldiers, and we have endless food, beef and mutton. With more than 800 cavalry, this mountain pass can definitely be defended."

Han Pingan grinned and said: "And we have reinforcements, two brothers, as long as we can defend for two or three days, the old bastard Mazha will be finished. From now on, we don't have to worry about it anymore, and you don't have to worry about being attacked."

Su Dasushi was afraid that the two half-brothers would not show loyalty, so he emphasized: "We waited for work with leisure, and our morale was high. They ran back and forth for thousands of miles, and they were starving without getting anything. They probably froze to death." Slave, this battle is not difficult to fight."

It turned out that the warriors who were promised to bring along had dealt a fatal blow to the Mazha Department at a critical moment, but now they have become steadfastly defending the Kela Mountain Pass.

Su Dabolu frowned slightly: "Madman, even if Wang Qingxiang and your father can lead troops to help, they will not exceed five or six thousand soldiers in total, twenty thousand versus thirty thousand, maybe more than thirty thousand, this battle is not easy to fight ah."

"You are cavalry, you can count as three at least."

"This risk can't be taken lightly, if it doesn't work out, just accept it."

"We can accept it as soon as we see it. If the old bastard of Mazha knows that his old nest has been copied by us, can he swallow this breath? Then he will definitely retaliate. When the spring of next year begins, not only will we be unlucky, but you will also have no luck." Have a good time."

"Second brother, the old bastard Mazha will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry."

Even if Mazha Tata jumps over the wall in a hurry, he will definitely vent his anger on you first.

Su Dabolu didn't want to fight against Tubo, and was thinking about how to find a high-sounding excuse to escape, when Han Ping'an leaned into his ear and whispered a few words with a smile.

Su Dabolu was stunned, and asked doubtfully: "Really?"

"I'm a puppy to lie to you, don't even think about it, if we are not sure, we can pay such a high price to fortify the wall and clear the country."

Seeing that Su Dabolu still didn't believe it, Han Ping'an said with a half-smile: "Second brother, don't be upset if I told you, my old eighth and I believed in you and third brother, but General Wang and my father dared not You can't believe it easily. What if you don't want to save me, what if you take advantage of the fire and rob me?"

Su Daburu was silent for a moment, staring at him closely and asked: "So even if the third brother and I don't bring troops, you will still be able to fight this battle?"

"It's natural."

"Since your father doesn't believe us, we can only go back first."

"Second brother, if you really want to leave, my eighth brother and I will not stop you. We promise you half of the horses, cattle and sheep will be divided as usual, and the gold, silver and jewelry will be the same. But if you and the third brother really go back like this, it will be the same as if you never came. .I'm sure the Great Khan won't be happy."

This time, they came not only to fight the Mazha tribe, but also to form an alliance.

Just taking advantage and not losing money, how can this alliance be formed?
Thinking that the real enemy is not Mazatata, but the boss who doesn't know when he will come back from Baghdad, Suda Buru took a few deep breaths and turned around, "Okay, I'll guard with you."

"Is that right? A good brother should be loyal."

"Madman, you say I'm not loyal?"

"Whether you talk about loyalty or not, you will know when the old bastard Mazha arrives."

Yele Town and Baisha Shouzhuo City are now sure to win, and Mazha Tata will definitely be finished, but I don't know how much it will cost Mazha Tata to die.

Su Daburu weighed it up, then turned around and said, "Third brother, gather up Fuyu's weapons and the weapons and armors captured these days, and hand them all over to General Li."
