Back to the prosperous Tang Dynasty to be the emperor

Chapter 524 Battle of Funiuchuan (9)

Under the dark night sky, the fire suddenly burst out, first a ray of light, and then it was soaring into the sky, accompanied by the roar of fighting, in this quiet night, it sounds so exciting Panicked, all the defenders in Manguan City were alarmed, and rushed to the top of the city in disorder, shouting and shouting indiscriminately.

"Tell them to shut up, kill those who dare to make noise, kill those who dare to run around, kill those who don't keep their posts, kill!"

The commotion outside was so loud that it was impossible for Gar Qinling not to hear it. In fact, he had already sensed something was wrong as early as the moment the fire started, and he had already walked out of the city gate tower, silently He stared at the outpost army camp in the distance without saying a word, and didn't say a word for a long time, until he saw that the soldiers on the pass city were making a mess, then he frowned slightly, and gave the order coldly.

"promise!"

The captain of the personal guard was the first person who discovered the accident in the outpost army camp, but he didn't understand what it meant, he just felt that the fire was too strange, when he was in doubt, he suddenly heard Er Qinling gave the order, he dared not neglect to go, he hastily complied with the promise, led a group of guards and rushed to both sides of the pass city, yelling and using the scabbard to give a harsh lesson to the rebels, After working for a long time, they finally suppressed the chaos.

"Grand Minister, the last general asks for orders to lead his troops to attack to save the outpost army stronghold."

After the captain of the personal guards led his troops to suppress the rebellious soldiers, he turned back to the Guancheng. Seeing Gar Qinling standing still with a dignified expression, he couldn't help feeling a little worried, and hurried forward, whispering interrupted a sentence.

"No need, now that the Tang army has arrived, it seems that the outpost army camp cannot be kept."

Hearing the sound, Gar Qinling, who had been standing for a long time, finally reacted. He looked back at the captain of the personal guard, shook his head slightly, and vetoed solemnly.

"Tang Jun? Isn't Tang Jun still more than three hundred miles away from here, how could he arrive so fast, this..."

The captain of the personal guard had vaguely guessed that the fire might have been done by the Tang army as early as when he was angry, but he was not sure. Hearing Gar Qinling's words with such certainty, he couldn't help but turn pale with shock .

"Decree: The whole army guards the pass city and must not move without permission. Those who disobey the order will be beheaded!"

Gar Qinling didn't explain any more, but gave an extremely cold order, and then turned his head back again, looking at the soaring fire in the distance with complicated eyes, and flicked his fingers lightly, as if he was calculating something. Very average.

"Follow me, kill, leave no one behind!"

Gar Qinling guessed right, it was indeed the Tang army who killed the outpost, but not all of the Tang army, but only Zhang Chen, with only [-] troops, and only [-] in the surprise attack at night. The rest of the Tubo outpost army camps are not worried about not being able to take them down. It is just a matter of time, but the key to the problem is precisely the time. It is so simple to take down the outpost fortress, but it is necessary to create the illusion that the entire Hehuang army has arrived. Zhang Chen was very annoyed by the fact that he successfully attacked the outpost army stronghold and was caught off guard, and successfully broke into the army stronghold, but he was unable to completely annihilate the remnants of the Tubo army who were hiding in a corner of the army stronghold and resisting desperately. With a cry, he jumped off his horse and led the guards into the chaos.

Zhang Chen is a brave general, although he is only ranked fourth in the Hehuang army, but that is because of the abundance of talents in the Hehuang army, in fact, in terms of his martial arts, he can be regarded as the top of ten thousand men Good reputation, once he joined the battlefield, the remnant Tubo army, which was originally unable to support it, collapsed immediately, and was killed by the swarming Tang army. With the defeat of this remnant enemy, the entire outpost army has become It has completely fallen into the grasp of the Hehuang army, and at this time, it is only about half an hour before the start of the war, and it can definitely be regarded as a quick battle.

"The whole army obeys the order and puts out the fire!"

After wiping out the remnants of the enemy, Zhang Chen did not lead his troops to approach Guancheng, nor did he order to set up camp on the spot. Instead, he ordered his soldiers to extinguish the raging fire in the army camp.

The outpost military stronghold is not big, and it is mainly used as a warning. Of course, one of its functions is to slow down the enemy's attack on the city. Therefore, the facilities of this military stronghold are very simple and rudimentary. What can be burned? The previous fire was basically caused by the Tang army’s rockets igniting the tents where the Tubo army lived. , the fire in the army village was completely extinguished, except for some charcoal fires that were still flickering, the whole army village was once again immersed in darkness.

"Ok?"

Gar Qinling is an extremely stable person, and he rarely lost his composure. Even if the outpost army camp was destroyed, he would not react too much, but when the army camp was extinguished, Gar Qinling He let out a sound in surprise, and there was a faint flash of light in his eyes.

"President, what is Tang thief doing?"

The captain of the personal guard standing next to Gar Qinling obviously didn't understand what Tang Jun was doing. Seeing the fire in the army camp extinguished, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, but the murderous aura in the air did not decrease but increased, and his heart couldn't help Some children felt weak, so they asked a question from the side.

"It's hard to say, let's take a look."

Gar Qinling didn't explain, just waved his hand and said softly.

Dead silence, still dead silence, nearly half an hour has passed since the fire in the outpost army camp was extinguished, but there is a dead silence under the closed city, as if the Tang army has never been there before, this kind of dead silence before the war is approaching It was undoubtedly the most difficult moment. All the officers and soldiers guarding the city were extremely nervous. No one knew whether the Tang army would launch an attack overnight. They could only tense their hearts nervously. It was quite astonishing, before the battle was fought, the sound of heavy panting on the top of the city was one after another.

"Pass down the order, take turns to rest, and don't have to crowd all over the city until the time of war!"

Gar Qinling was a veteran of war, and although he was frowning in thought, he never forgot to pay attention to the state of the guards at the top of the city. Seeing that all the soldiers were restless, his brows frowned even deeper. A few minutes later, some sons shook their heads helplessly, and gave a casual order.

"promise!"

Now that Gar Qinling had given the order, the captain of the personal guard who was accompanying him didn't dare to be negligent, so he hastily complied, turned around, and was about to deliver the general order, when he suddenly heard a shrill horn sounding from below the city There was a sudden sound, and the turning body froze involuntarily.

"Woo, woo, woo..."

The sound of the horn suddenly sounded, and the false tranquility was smashed into pieces in an instant. Then, there was a sound of horseshoes, and the shouts of killing burst out. The stormy attack caused the already nervous Tubo officers and soldiers on the top of the city to panic. Although no one dared to talk nonsense, they all unconsciously clenched their weapons and waited nervously for the attack. The battle broke out in the city, but after waiting and waiting, I didn't see Tang Jun rushing up. After half a quarter of an hour, the sound of the horn stopped abruptly. As for the sound of horseshoes and shouts of killing, they also completely stopped. The silent night It was silent again.

"What's going on? What is Tang thief doing?"

"I don't know, why did this person just disappear?"

"What's the matter, is this battle going to be fought or not?"

Everyone in the Tubo army waited for a long time, but they still hadn't waited for the Tang army's attack. They were all at a loss, completely forgetting the general order to keep quiet, and started talking nonsense, and the whole city was buzzing. The buzzing noise was as loud as a vegetable market, but this time Gar Qinling didn't give the order to silence, because he himself was also full of doubts.

"Woo, woo, woo..."

Just when the officers and soldiers guarding the city relaxed a little, the shrill horn sounded violently again, accompanied by the sound of rumbling horseshoes and shouts of killing, which immediately made the officers and soldiers of the Tubo army flustered for a while, but As soon as the spirit tensed up, the sound disappeared again. As soon as the sound of the stairs was heard but no one came down, the Tubo officers and soldiers were all blown up, and the curses rang out uncontrollably.

"Woo, woo, woo..."

The Tubo officers and soldiers had just heard the curses, but the horns under the city rang again violently, making the Tubo officers and soldiers really dumbfounded, but they didn't dare to relax, so they could only tense their nerves again and prepare Fighting, what happened? The noise lasted for half an hour, but it stopped abruptly. This time, the guards and soldiers who had been fooled three times in a row almost lost the strength to scold. All drooped on the top of the city.

"Decree: The whole army is on alert, and no negligence is allowed. Anyone who disobeys the order will be beheaded! In addition, all the troops outside will be sent to Funiuchuan immediately, without any mistakes!" However, Ling suddenly woke up suddenly, and gave two orders in a row with extremely sharp eyes-the Tang army came down from the city, and Gar Qinling had already known this, the only difference was that it was hard to judge. The entire Hehuang army is still only one. When the outpost army was destroyed earlier, Gar Qinling was calculating the time when the outpost was destroyed, so as to infer the total strength of the Hehuang army. As a result, it still couldn’t It's too sure, but at this time, after the Tang army played this exhausting strategy, Gar Qinling didn't dare to hesitate any longer. After all, he has experienced the combat power of the Hehuang army too many times. Seeing that he now has the advantage of Guancheng, but once the Hehuang army launches a strong attack, he can't guarantee how long the Tubo army defending the city can last. If Guancheng falls, then Fuqi City will not be able to keep it. Er Qinling didn't dare to take the risk, and now that the matter has come to an end, he can only put his heart on the line and take a gamble.
