Zhenguan Chang'an Xiaofangzheng

Chapter 428

According to the usual practice, the gun carriages are bombarded for the first day.

There are not many cannon carts, only twelve, each of which carries three hundred catties of cannon stones, and throws them successively one mile away.

From time to time, there are seven arrows on one string and seven arrows on the crossbow.

Most of Tie Le's troops rode their horses, yelling and transporting bags of earth and rocks to the bottom of the city, gracefully throwing down the bags to pile up the mountain of earth, the horses flicked their tails, and left the city from the side, most of the arrows shot from the top of the city were missed.

The nomads' riding skills are almost instinctive. With the cover of artillery carts and crossbows, and the longbow salvos of the infantry regiments, the risk has been reduced to a very low level.

Compared with the 轒辒车 and Jiantou 轳 that go hand in hand, it can only be said that each has its own advantages.

Although the protection of riding is slightly lacking, the advantage is that the speed is fast and the time spent in the dangerous zone is extremely short.

Jie Liedian worked hard to organize people to rush to the top of the city, shooting arrows, throwing stones, and rolling wood on the flesh and blood of Paoze.

Even if the casualty ratio is disparate, even if it is futile, as the general of Kucha, Jie Liedian must fight to the end.

The monks and monks in the city were "invited" to the horse road by the prime minister Nali, and Heshi recited Bishamon Heavenly King, which is also a wonder of the Western Regions.

However, later this trend affected the entire Tang Dynasty, and even made up a story about King Bishamon helping Tang Xuanzong to retreat the Tubo soldiers, which led to more worship of King Bishamon in the Tang Dynasty army.

This is not nonsense, the "Writings to the King of Bishamon" is recorded in the "Shen Mechanism Enemy Taibai Yin Jing".

King Bishamon, also known as King Duowen among the Four Heavenly Kings, gathered the fame of the Four Heavenly Kings in one body of King Bishamon throughout the Tang Dynasty.

Buddhism is widely believed in the entire Western Regions, and the ratio of monks and laymen at the peak was as high as one to ten, which shows the prosperity of the Silk Road.

Changing to Datang would definitely not be able to afford this ratio.

This is also the main reason why Tie Le Thirteen Departments are willing to send troops and follow Datang happily.

It's no good, no matter how the suzerain is, the emperor doesn't send hungry soldiers.

Three days later, the total number of Kaxi Turkic soldiers in the Qiuci Army was less than [-], and even Jie Liedian's personal soldiers lost more than half.

The city wall is one foot high, and the earth hills piled up outside the city are as high as six feet.

In the night, King Helibu Shibi of Kucha, Prime Minister Nali, and General Jie Liedian led Wanqi out of Yiluolu City quietly and plunged into the darkness.

The Kucha army stationed at the top of the city, withstood a wave of artillery, rocks and arrows. Looking around, they couldn't see Jie Liedian, and they couldn't help being in an uproar.

Someone broke out that the King of Kucha, the Prime Minister, and the general had fled Yiluolu City, and the soldiers were furious.

Co-authored, we resisted Tang Jun with flesh and blood, just to let you escape?

It's normal to escape if you can't fight, but it's chilling to leave your soldiers and horses to escape.

The big banner at the head of Yiluolu City was lowered for the second time, Yang Hongli said with a smile: "I thought it was going to be a few tough battles, but I didn't expect it to be lowered like this. It's boring."

Guo Xiaoke was in high spirits: "All the countries in the Western Regions are like this. They are rich but not strong. As long as there are [-] soldiers and horses, the entire Western Regions are in their pockets!"

Ashnadur took a deep look at the deputy chief executive.

His background as the son of Luo Khan in the Turkic region is still a bit embarrassing. Apart from fighting, it is best not to talk too much.

Everyone knows that the [-] Frontier Army of the Tang Dynasty is enough to shock the entire Western Regions, but have you thought about the difficulties of sending troops from the Central Plains and transporting food, grass and soldiers from Chang'an?
If not, why did Wei Zheng try his best to oppose the establishment of Xizhou?

War is only one of the means of implementing the national policy, and the maintenance of the national policy requires a high price.

The gate of the city was opened, and a monk wearing a Pilu hat and a monk's uniform (monk's clothing) came out, and made a salute.

"Amitabha! The Tang Dynasty is a state of etiquette and a teacher of benevolence and righteousness. Kucha has been here for hundreds of years. Although the king was rude, the former king also helped Anxi Dufu to conquer Yanqi when he was alive..."

The old monk babbled.

Guo Xiaoke was impatient and couldn't listen to the nagging, so he shouted loudly: "Monk Wuna, what kind of wife meditation is practiced! If you want to surrender, you will come out with your eyebrows raised!"

Wife Zen is a Buddhist term, which refers to entanglement in words and repeated words.

Kunfa Qimei refers to cutting short hair and putting it on the eyebrows, which is the hair style of servants at this time.

The old monk sighed: "It is good to teach the general to know that the king of Qiuci has fled at night, the city of Yiluolu is empty and empty, the soldiers and the people are at a loss, and the Kunren (monks) are supported by the people. In order to ask for surrender, so as not to increase the killing."

Nearly [-] soldiers surrendered, and Guo Xiaoke led [-] soldiers and horses, and Cui Yiqi, the Langzhong of the Cangbu, Cao Jishu, the General of the Right Xiaowei, Han Wei, the Governor of Yizhou, and Fan Sheng, the Zhonglang of Zuo Xiaowei, were stationed in Yiluo. Lucheng and surrounding areas.

Ashnadur and Yang Hongli led Feiqi, Shazhou Inspector Su Haizheng, Shangnian Fengyu Xue Wanbei and his servants to chase for six hundred miles, forcing Helibu Shibi to retreat into Diaochang City.

After more than a month of defense in Diaohua City, the city was broken, Helibu Shibi and Jie Liedian were captured alive, and Nali fled.

Outside the city of Yiluolu, Guo Xiaoke led a thousand cavalry to station.

In all fairness, Guo Xiaoke is too conceited, even if the [-] people need to be stationed in various places, he doesn't have to take only this small number of people.

At that time, the old monk Luohan raised his eyebrows and said: "Amitabha! The king and general of Kucha are all in the hands of the Tang Dynasty. Only Xiang Nali is in the wild. Nali is in power. He has won the hearts of the people for a long time, and he is afraid of changes. People in the city also have different ambitions. Be careful!"

However, Guo Xiaoke always thought the old monk was long-winded, so he didn't listen to it at all.

At that rate, [-] Western Turkic troops rushed into the city of Yiluolu, joined forces with the original surrendered soldiers, and made a lot of noise.

Guo Xiaoke led Guo Daizhao and led thousands of horsemen to rush into the city, kill them to the palace, and kill them again.

The day is not a holiday, Liu Ya took Guo Xiaoke's life, and Guo Daizhao also died in the army.

When Cao Jishu, Han Wei, Cui Yiqi, and Fan Sheng heard the bad news, they sent out their troops and quickly recaptured the city of Yiluolu. Nali fled in a hurry, and was captured by the Qiuci people and sent to the Tang army soon after.

It's not that Nali's prestige is insufficient, it's just that it is human nature to beat a dog in the water, even if the dog is harmless to humans and animals, it still has to be beaten.
-
In the Tang Dynasty, there were five big cities in Naqiuci, with tens of thousands of men and women.

Ashina Durleshi recorded his merits and led his army back. Yiluolu City was once again captured.

Then, there is a doubtful paragraph in "Old Tang Book".

"Since Emperor Taizong destroyed Kucha, he moved the Anxi Protectorate to his country city, took Guo Xiaoke as the protector, and unified Khotan, Shule, and Suiye, which are called the 'four towns'."

Can Guo Xiaoke lift the coffin board to accept orders?

If it means that before Guo Xiaoke died, could Li Shimin predict the exact time when Yiluo Lucheng was captured?

The time from taking Yiluolu City to Guo Xiaoke's death in battle may not be enough for the envoys from Chang'an to make a trip.

For Guo Xiaoke's death in battle, Li Shimin was still a little annoyed, after all, this was an avoidable sacrifice!
"When Emperor Taizong heard about it, he first blamed Xiaoke for not being vigilant, leading to subversion; later, he pitied him and mourned for his family."

When it came to "New Tang Book", there was one more sentence, and the taste changed completely.

"Take his official position."

This is the truth that the world accused Li Shimin of treating Guo Xiaoke unfairly.
