Chapter 656

Yiduo was so full of ambition that he even refused Shang Jiezan's help in the rear, and directly led the [-] Bailin army to Jincheng.

Shang Jiezan was not prepared to help Yiduo, but Yiduo was afraid that Shang Jiezan would take his credit, so he left the barracks an hour before the appointed time.

Shang Jiezan yelled "Idiot" and continued to gather troops slowly.

Now everyone in Tubo has the same idea. If the Tang army can't use the evil method to harm people, it will be easy for so many Tubo troops to flatten Jincheng.

Sure enough, as the Tubo people expected, this time the cavalry of the Tang army rushed up again, and there was a crackling sound on the battlefield for a while, but Yiduo's army was unscathed.

Yiduo laughed loudly, and directly ordered the whole army to go up, and must arrive at the gate of Jincheng before noon.

Xue Hu held the binoculars, looked at the Yiduo army who had lost touch with the rear Shangjiezan army, and said with a smile:

"The Tibetans are too aggressive! Our chance has come!"

"How about the boardwalk?"

Bai Linjun also firmly believed that he would not be injured, but it was a pity that the Boxers thought so too.

Yiduo was completely panicked, the deputy quickly reminded Yiduo:

Xue Hu's army had already ambushed on the other side of the Huangshui. He ordered the artillery to set up positions along the Huangshui, and let the engineers build a pontoon bridge on the Huangshui.

But Yiduo was not happy for too long, the grenade exploded over the dense infantry position, and the death storm that set off instantly killed the infantry in the front row.

Xue Hu's artillery fired a volley, and the shells landed in the center of the Bai Lin Army's position. Compared with grenades, these howitzers did more damage. The Bai Lin Army covered by the shells was caught in a huge sea of ​​flames, and terrifying black smoke rose from the Bai Lin Army. .

The army is a hierarchical group composed of trust. Once the order disintegrates, the army will quickly disintegrate and become a pig that is driven and chased by the enemy.

"good."

After Yiduo's army rushed up, Timur's cavalry were also ready to be in place.

At this time, from Yiduo, the supreme commander, to the middle-level commanders of thousands and centurions, the entire Tubo army has fallen into chaos.

Su Tong immediately wrote the urgent request for help, stamped it with the seal of the governor of Lanzhou, and ordered his subordinates to expedite it to Chang'an with [-] li.

It was only then that Yiduo realized that a pontoon bridge had been built on the Huangshui on his flank, and a group of Da Tang Mo sword soldiers had already crossed the Huangshui on the pontoon bridge, and rushed towards Yiduo's flank.

Xue Hu didn't answer, but Su Tong said immediately: "I'm going to write a letter to the imperial court for help."

Then Su Tong said to Xue Hu: "Is this what His Royal Highness Yue Wang meant?"

"Only with such a decree, the imperial court will let the king of Yue live in Lanzhou in a legitimate way."

"My Lanzhou is the channel between Hexi and Guanzhong. The south connects to the middle of Shu. How can the King of Yue not seize it?"

Shang Jiezan saw Yiduo's miserable appearance, and also saw the Tang artillery positions erected on the edge of Huangshui, gritted his teeth and ordered to retreat, and retreated towards Migan City overnight.

what happened?

"The artillery has been aimed!"

Timur replaced the firecrackers with real hand grenades, and the grenadier cavalry rushed towards Yaddo's army.

The bombardment lasted from noon to evening, and under the desperate protection of the dead soldiers around him, Yiduo finally fled back to the rear.

"Notify Timur, you can have fun with these Tubo people!"

Su Wuwei is also over 40 years old, and his son is almost an adult, so he is naturally not convinced by his old father's words.

What's going on, how is it different from what was advertised before?

Bai Linjun watched helplessly as Xue Hu rushed in across the pontoon bridge from the other side of the Huangshui River, and the entire Bai Linjun completely collapsed under the bombardment and grenade attack.

"Zan Puzhong, there is an ambush by the Tang army on the opposite side of Huangshui!"

Xue Hu's [-] infantry quickly crossed the Huangshui from the pontoon bridge, and rushed into Bai Lin's army from the flank.

"Where's the artillery?"

Su Wuwei covered his mouth, as if he knew some great secret.

Because the chief general has no virtue and no blessings, the protection of Buddhism is invalidated. Does it mean that his own general is also like this?
Is it a problem with your superior?
Is a superior with no morals and no blessings trustworthy on the battlefield?
When such doubts are raised on the battlefield, officers at all levels lose the prestige of controlling their subordinates.

When Xue Hu left the Governor's Mansion, Su Wuwei said to his father in astonishment:
"Father, why did you let me go to the shogunate of King Yue?"

Su Tong sighed and said: "In the position of the king of Yue, if you don't advance, you will retreat. With such magical weapons and a master of hundreds of battles under his command, he is born with a sharp weapon and murderous intentions. He goes up."

Under such a large-scale collapse, Yiduo tried to order the troops to retreat, but he soon discovered that he had completely lost control of the army.

Su Tong is an old man in the officialdom, he immediately scolded his son, "Shut up!"

Su Tong said: "Because the king of Yue can control Lanzhou justifiably only when the Tubo army suppresses the border, the letter just now is to let the imperial court order to transfer the Hexi army into Lanzhou."

Shang Jiezan's troops in the rear and Yiduo's army were out of touch because of Yiduo's early departure, and Yiduo's army also collapsed too quickly. Under the artillery bombardment of the Tang army, the [-] elites completely lost their organization.

Xue Hu said with a smile: "My Highness admires Taishou Su who knows current affairs the most. The civil affairs of Lanzhou need to ask Taishou Su to take care of him."

During this period of time, Yiduo has been promoting that he is a person protected by the Buddha. The whole Bailin Army thinks so. The soldiers who were bombed by firecrackers also showed their own experiences, saying that the explosion of firecrackers on the head did not hurt at all. Can't hurt myself at all.

Su Tong pointed to his son, and Xue Hu immediately said: "The king of Yue treats meritorious officials the most, so that the son can enter the shogunate of the king of Yue."

When the Bai Lin Army completely collapsed, Xue Hu ordered the artillery to block the out-of-joint department of the Bai Lin Army and Shang Jiezan with bombardment, preventing Shang Jiezan's department from responding to the Bai Lin Army and preventing the Bai Lin Army from escaping backward.

The huge metal storm caused by the shrapnel directly killed Bai Linjun within the explosion range.

When soldiers discovered that flesh and blood could not stop grenades and artillery, the previous Dharma propaganda had the opposite effect.

In the middle army, Yiduo looked at the grenadier cavalry rushing up, and said with a smile: "Our army is blessed by Buddhism, and these monsters in the Tang army still want to harm us with evil methods!"

However, before Su Tong could be happy, he saw that the general of the Hexi Tang army directly led the army into the city and quickly took over the treasury and granary of Jincheng. Su Tong knew something was wrong.

Su Tong said: "Do you know why the king of Yue wants to defend and ask the court for help after the siege of Jincheng is over?"

The rest either died on the battlefield or became prisoners of the Tang army.

Wait, why is it different this time?
Originally, these Bai Linjuns felt that they were possessed by the Buddha's light, and they stood very densely. Facing the grenadier cavalry charging up, they didn't even have basic dodge movements.

Datang's sorcery worked again?
The soldiers in the rear were afraid to move forward. At this moment, there was a rumbling sound of cannons on the edge of Huangshui.

Su Wuwei, who was behind Su Tong, immediately said: "General Xue, didn't Tubo retreat? Isn't the siege of Jincheng lifted? Shouldn't it be time to report victory to the court?"

Yiduo was completely stunned, why did Tang Jun's demon method work again?And this demon is even more powerful?

Why is it that Buddhism does not protect oneself?Is it because you have done something immoral?
A top-down collapse happened in Bai Lin's army.

"Boss Xue, the engineering battalion has been set up!"

Su Tong sighed and said, "You don't have the talent to study. It's still a mistake to bring you by my father's side all these years to let you study official affairs. You don't even have the talent to be an official."

By the time Yiduo reacted, the command system of the entire army had completely collapsed.

The belief in the protection of Buddhism collapsed. Facing the powerful firearms of the Tang Dynasty, the entire Tubo army fell into self-doubt.

But he found out miserably that less than 1 of the [-] Bai Lin troops entrusted to him by his elder brother escaped back.

Immediately after the Hexi general visited Su Tong, Xue Hu said:
"Please ask Taishou Su to write another letter of appeal to the court, explaining the news that the 20 Tubo army has knocked on the side, and ask the court for help."

But Su Tong said: "Su is old. When the court's order comes, he will abdicate and give way to a virtuous person, but this son who is useless."

"Why is this?"

"Father, does the King of Yue want it?"

The Tubo army didn't even have time to take away the food, grass and luggage. When the sun rose the next day, only a large area of ​​empty camps were left. Is the crisis in Lanzhou solved like this?
Su Tong, the prefect of Lanzhou, only felt that he had a dream. The Tubo army, which claims to be 20, retreated like this?
But seeing the Tubo captives outside Jincheng, Su Tong knew that this was no longer a dream, and this was a real victory.

The gunpowder smoke dissipated, and the soldiers in the back row panicked when they saw their companions lying in a pool of blood.

"Let's play with them this time!"

Su Wuwei also asked suspiciously: "My son wanted to ask just now, why did he do this?"

But Su Wuwei exclaimed and said: "The King of Yue wants to seize the heir, but my father still wants me to serve under his command? If the succession fails, my Su family will die without a place to die?"

Su Tong sighed and said, "You and my father and son are already in the game, so is there any choice?"

"This letter from my father, if the king of Yue succeeds, it will be enough to make the Su family rich for three generations. If you enter the shogunate of the king of Yue, you can just do nothing."

At this time, before Jincheng was besieged, the request for help from Lanzhou across the river had been sent to Chang'an City.
