The heavens start from saving Daming

Chapter 506
Datang's Modaoshou are all carefully selected elites.

First of all, it must be tall and burly in stature, and at the same time must be a strong man.

Only in this way can he be able to wear a full set of heavy armor and hold the Mo Dao.

Then there is the courage to go forward.

Heavy armor soldiers like Mo Dao Shou can only move forward and cannot retreat because of their limited mobility.

No matter what kind of opponent you face, you must continue to move forward with the courage of life and death until you fall down.

Even in the martial arts Tang Dynasty, there are not many qualified personnel that can be selected.

The Two Thousand Mo Swordsmen led by Li Siye at this time is already the largest among the armies of the Tang Dynasty at this time.

They surged up like a tide, heading straight for the top of Shibao City.

The defenders crazily used all defensive means to counterattack, especially the few eight-ox crossbows lost when Datang lost Shibao City before, which became terrible weapons.

The thick crossbow roared and pierced through the soldiers of the Tang army, followed by heart-piercing screams.

However, the battlefield is the cruelest place. At this time, the brothers behind will not hesitate to push away the brothers who have been pierced by the crossbow arrows, and continue to move forward.

Facing the thunder stone and rolling log thrown towards him, Li Siye, who was in front of him, waved the Mo Dao in his hand with red eyes, chopping them into the air one after another.

An eight-ox crossbow at the top of the city pointed at Li Siye, and with a bang, the thick crossbow roared towards him.

Li Siye didn't have the slightest fear, he raised the Mo Dao in his hand with red eyes.

Of course, this is more of a kind of comfort in the heart, after all, the iron armor on his body can't hold the eight-ox crossbow.

'puff! '

After a muffled sound, Mo Dao Shou, a member of Li Siye's side, was directly shot through!

Li Siye didn't even turn his head to take a look, and continued to move forward with the Mo Dao in his hand.

Many wounded soldiers of the Tang army gathered under the city wall at this time. They leaned against the city wall and built a tower with their bodies.

"General!"

Seeing Li Siye rushing up, a wounded soldier lay on his companion and shouted at Li Siye, "Kill the enemy!!!"

The red-eyed Li Siye stepped on the wounded soldier's back, and the heavy pressure instantly spurted blood from the wound the wounded soldier stepped on.

Stepping on the body of his companion, Li Siye finally jumped to the top of Shibao City.

In front of his eyes was an eight-ox crossbow that was busy being wound up.

Several Tubo soldiers who were manipulating the eight-ox crossbow watched in horror as Li Siye strode up to him, raised the Modao high in his hand, and dropped it suddenly with a loud shout.

The sharp Mo Dao easily cut the Tubo soldiers in front of him in two!

The Mo Dao soldiers who followed Li Siye rushed to the top of the city waved the Mo Dao in their hands one after another.

In an instant, there were endless screams from the top of Shibao City.

Just like the invincible eight-ox crossbow, facing the sharp Mo Dao, no matter whether the Tubo soldiers are armored or not, whether they are macho, whether they raise their weapons to block, etc., the result is all the same.

Cut it off!

As the Tang army climbed to the top of the city, the Tubo soldiers defending the city quickly launched a counterattack.

A tidal wave of Tubo soldiers rushed to the top of the city and started a bloody battle with the Tang Army's Modao Squad.

In terms of numbers, it is occupied by Tubo soldiers, and there is little difference between the two sides in terms of courage and morale.

But in terms of equipment, the two sides are worlds apart.

The Tibetans are located on the plateau, and the oxygen content on the plateau is so scarce that they cannot boil water, let alone make iron.

Therefore, the equipment of the Tubo people is mainly leather armor, and most of the weapons in their hands are knives, guns and even big bones.

These crude weapons are almost useless on the Mo Dao soldiers who are wearing three layers of armor, which are lined with silk on the inside, chain armor on the outside, and heavy armor such as Mingguang armor on the outside.

And every time the Mo Dao soldiers of the Tang Army waved the Mo Dao, they would take away one or even two or three Tubo soldiers.

Looking down from a high altitude, it looks like the tide is constantly slapping on the reef.

The tide surged up in waves, although the momentum was overwhelming, but in the end they were all smashed on the reef.

Li Siye, whose feet were gradually slipping, kicked away the stumped limbs beside his feet, and leaned closely with his brothers around him, constantly waving the Mo Dao and walking forward step by step.

They desperately expanded outwards to open up space for the Tang Jun who kept coming up behind them.

More and more Tang troops rushed to the top of the city, and the defenders were forced to retreat steadily. The stumps and broken arms gradually accumulated, even stacking up to Li Siye's thigh.

Li Siye, who felt that he was gradually exhausted, took a deep breath, and suddenly burst into force and swung the Mo Dao fiercely in front of him, cutting off the three Tubo soldiers in front of him.

The Mo Dao, which had been used for a long time, also broke.

With the last of his strength, Li Siye suddenly opened his hands and rushed forward, hugged two Tubo soldiers and rushed directly into the city from the top of the city.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding Tang soldiers rushed forward one after another, beheading the Tubo soldiers or jumping off the top of the city with the Tubo soldiers in their arms like Li Siye did.

Tang Jun's bravery frightened the defenders, and their footsteps were no longer as firm as before.

The follow-up Tang army rushed up quickly, and rushed the defenders down the city wall in one go.

A large number of Tang troops poured into the city like a tide, and fought fiercely with the defenders.

The city wall facing the inner city of Shibao City was not too high. Li Siye, who rushed down from the people, sat on the ground leaning against the city wall, shaking his head and panting.

After the fierce fight, he no longer had the strength to fight anymore, and even standing up became a luxury.

Fortunately, the Tang army has already entered the city, and the next victory must belong to the Tang army.

The defenders of Shibao City made the last resistance, and all parts of the city experienced tragic fighting.

Countless corpses were piled up, leaving almost no place to stay.

There is a pungent smell in the air, which makes people want to vomit.

Facing the assault of Tang army soldiers, the defenders collapsed without accident.

The defenders who were still alive rushed out of the city desperately trying to escape.

However, how could Tang Jun, who had already lost his temper, let them go so easily.

A large number of Tang troops chased after them like a tide, chasing and killing them for dozens of miles.

When it was getting late, the Tang soldiers who were chasing and killing came back happily.

Not only did they win numerous battles, but more importantly, they captured the Tubo garrison general Tieren Xinuoluo alive in Shibao City!
Li Siye, who had regained his strength, was surprised to find the person who captured Iron Blade Xinuoluo alive.

"Who are you?"

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Li Siye asked curiously, "You are so brave, why have you never heard of you?"

"Back to the general."

The man saluted respectfully and said, "The last general is the Ya general under Hexi Jiedu's command, named Ge Shuhan."

Seven days later, Li Yunze personally commanded the Chinese army and transported a large amount of luggage to Shibao City.

In the past few days, Shibao City has been cleaned up, but the dry blood stains all over the place and the smell still lingering in the air can only be blown away by time.

". More than 400 Tubo defenders were killed in battle, and [-] people below the defender Iron Blade Xinuoluo were captured alive."

"Ok?"

Li Yunze, who was sitting on the saddle, interrupted Li Siye's report, "Is there really a prisoner?"

Li Siye was stunned, not quite understanding what the emperor meant.

Could it be that his speech is not clear?Didn't I say that 400 people below the defender Iron Blade Xinuoluo were captured alive.
In doubt, Ge Shuhan behind him stepped forward to salute, leaping forward to report, "Your Majesty, there are no prisoners in this battle, and none of the Tubo guards under the iron blade Xinuoluo has [-] defenders. Tubo's brutality has broken our country. Tangchengchi must have slaughtered the city without leaving any chickens and dogs behind. The soldiers did not hold back out of righteous indignation."

Li Yunze nodded, feeling that this person was thinking clearly, so he asked casually, "Who are you?"

At this time, Li Siye, who finally came to his senses, hurriedly introduced, "Your Majesty, this person is Ge Shuhan, a general under the command of Hexi Jiedu. When I select the elite, I will follow the army to conquer Shibao City for dozens of miles. Capture the iron blade Xinuoluo alive. .”

The few days of getting along with him made Li Siye have a good impression of Ge Shuhan, a middle-aged uncle, and he recommended it in front of the emperor.

"Go Shuhan."

Li Yunze nodded slowly, with deep meaning in his eyes.

Ge Shuhan is a late bloomer in the true sense. He only started to join the army and start a business when he was 40 years old. He fought all the way to Tongguan to fight against Anlu Mountain.

Ge Shuhan in the history books is not as famous as Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, because he chose to surrender after being defeated and captured, and he also offered to help write the surrender letter, but unfortunately no one agreed.

At this point, the blow to reputation is very fatal.

And even if he surrendered, he couldn't save his life, and was executed the next year.

words now
"Hahaha~~~"

Li Yunze got up laughing, walked up to Ge Shuhan, held his shoulders and said with a smile, "So you are Ge Shuhan. When I was in Longyou, Hexi, I heard your story, especially the song of praise. Your poems are even more impressive. When I saw you today, you are indeed a great talent of the Tang Dynasty."

For Li Yunze, he even dared to use Yang Guozhong, Li Linfu, Bian Lingcheng and other traitors who were famous in history books, so what is a mere brother Shuhan?
It is skill to use well-known ministers, and even treacherous ministers can use them well, that is Niubi.

At this time, Li Bai, a Hanlin scholar who came with the army and was bored fishing, regained his energy and said immediately, "Your Majesty, may I ask what kind of poetry is this?"

Li Yunze smiled slightly, looked at Ge Shuhan who had a mixed look of surprise and excitement, and said slowly.

'The Big Dipper is high, and Ge Shuye carries a knife. '

"So far, I have seen the herding horses, but I dare not pass Lintao. '

As soon as this remark came out, Ge Shuhan's tears fell.

The emperor himself wrote a poem to praise him, his life was worth it!

Patting Ge Shuhan on the shoulder, Li Yunze turned to face the many generals and soldiers in Stone Fort City, and announced loudly, "The soldiers of all armies fought bloody battles to restore the Zhenwu Army for the Tang Dynasty! This is a brilliant victory, and it will surely be remembered in history. "

After some routine opening remarks, what followed was the main event that the soldiers were looking forward to.

". Li Siye was the first to conquer the city, and his credit is the first. He was named Duke of Guoguo. Ge Shuhan captured and killed the enemy chieftain, and his credit was second. Jin Zhongwu General, and he was named Xiping Bo."

All the soldiers who participated in the battle were rewarded, Li Yunze never made a mistake on this point.

Because he knows very well that in the era of cold weapons where the level of education is not high, it is useless to say any great truth.

The greatest motivation for the soldiers to fight desperately is to stand out and be rewarded with military achievements.

Rewards and punishments are fair, and the morale of the army is naturally available.

If rewards and punishments are unfair, then just wait for the end.

After some rewards, everyone participating in the war will naturally be happy.

That night, wine and meat were given, and there were endless laughter and laughter in the army.

When Li Yunze was entertaining the generals for a banquet, there was a report from the horse flying, saying that the Tubo Mangbu branch near the West Sea came to help quickly, and at this time it was less than a hundred miles away from Shibao City.

Facing the fiery gazes of the generals, Li Yunze simply named Ge Shuhan.

"Aiqing, would you like to fight this enemy for me?"

Geshuhan with red eyes immediately stood up and saluted.

"Your Majesty, I must offer the head of Mangbuzhi to the emperor!"
