Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 963
On the contrary, after two days of long-term catapult throwing here, the army of Xiangfu Kingdom has become more and more aware of the shooting angle, force, length of matchlock, etc. of the catapult. out of the summit line.It will be bombarded accurately and powerfully by the trebuchet company on the southern slope.The morale of the Tubo army seems to be getting lower and lower every time. By the time of the attack at noon today, the Qinglong Army had only used the powder packs fired by the catapult, and combined with the giant crossbow guns fired from a high position, they had completed the expulsion action. The Tubo army They had to retreat after only three hills, and they hadn't even been able to follow the road down the last south slope for a tactical deployment.

When the Xiangfu army's trebuchets fired gunpowder packs, Yang Yanqing kept observing the enemy's movements with a telescope. The Tubo tribe army on the opposite side, who was obviously afraid of losing too much and cowering, now even raised the flag in their hands. Be sluggish.Every bombardment by the Qinglong Legion can cause violent commotion.Yang Yanqing watched helplessly as a few people who looked like the leaders of the enemy army beheaded the retreaters, but it was of no avail. Faced with the attack of gunpowder bombing, which had no means of defense at all, the Tubo people felt fear from the bottom of their hearts.

"Ying Cheng Lin Buchi in Lanzhou City has received the news that these people were sent by Ying Cheng Lin Buchi, but Ying Cheng Lin Buchi obviously miscalculated our strength and the number of troops, and the people they sent were all relatively powerful. Weaker tribal army." Yang Yanqing put down the binoculars and made such a sigh.

"Why do they come up with thousands of people every time?" The person who asked the question was Ma Lijun, the commander of the engineer battalion. They have nothing to do these days. They are behind the hillside of Dafengkou where the Tibetans cannot see Many ravines were dug in accordance with the battlefield fortification regulations.It was the rest time for their engineering battalion, and many officers of the engineering battalion stood on the ridge and looked north. Their behavior has been suspected of violating the military regulations of Xiangfu country. It was such an opportunity to go to the battlefield, but now everyone in the Azure Dragon Army felt that this was no longer a battle, but that the Tubo people came up again and again to die.Therefore, no one abides by this regulation anymore, and one after another flocked to watch the fun.Yang Yanqing also opened and closed his eyes, pretending he didn't see it.

"That's why the day before yesterday, the deputy head of the army must lead people to occupy the hillside here. The road is too narrow, and the Tubo dog can only dispatch these people at a time, and it is difficult to dodge. No matter how many people there are, it is not only useless, but also Not to mention it’s hard to retreat, and it’s easy to be bombed by our gunpowder packs or pierced through the candied haws by the giant crossbow.” Yang Yanqing looked at the several mountains opposite.The winding official road has several ups and downs on it. Although the Tubo army was able to safely avoid the gunpowder packets fired by the catapults of the Qinglong Army when they were on the northern slope, this undulating terrain also lengthened their moving distance. Every time the Tubo army went to the south slope, they would be bombarded by the Xiangfu army.The movement of the Tubo army is mainly on these visible roads, because it is impossible for them to leave the road and climb the cliffs, and it is even more difficult to move at high speed in the woods for a long distance.

Lu Fengyun, commander of the Second Infantry Brigade, said with a smile: "It seems that we only need to replenish enough gunpowder packs and crossbow guns."

"Don't be careless." Yang Yanqing shook his head and said, "These are obviously the weakest members of the Tubo tribal army. After Yingcheng Lin Buchi reacts, he will definitely send elites over. At that time... "Yang Yanqing raised his binoculars and looked to the north, grinning and said in a low voice: "Then there will be a real battle."

In a hidden valley thirty miles northeast of Wu Shengjun, there is a temporary resting place for two cavalry brigades of the Qinglong Legion led by Zhang Dawei.

"Reporting to the head of the army, the news came from the special brigade. Except for Wu Shengjunzhai's own tribe, the other five sub-tribal special brigades of the Ando tribe have already arranged their manpower. As long as our side makes a move, they will immediately do the same. Guarantee that there will be no reinforcements for An Duo's foolishness." An intelligence staff officer came to Zhang Dawei and saluted.

Zhang Dawei looked happy and said, "Very well, what is the latest information from the Ministry of Security?"

The intelligence staff said: "Reporting to the army commander, the Ministry of Security said that they planted some good hands among the [-] Lanzhou people captured by the Tibetans in the Wusheng army stronghold. As long as we do something, they will also cause trouble from within."

Zhang Dawei nodded, and said: "Head the order, the whole army is assembled and ready to attack."

After Zhang Dawei's order was handed down by the messenger with semaphore, groups of soldiers held their weapons and led their horses, straddling the horses. When it was time for a cup of tea, square formations were neatly arranged in front of Zhang Dawei.

Zhang Dawei glanced at the entire army, and said loudly: "Brothers, Wu Shengjun is the storage place for the Tubo people's grain, military resources, and supplies. The deputy army commander successfully blocked the 3000 troops escorted by Anduo's grain and grass to the north of Dafengkou. The brigade will again entangle the [-] people stationed in various branches of the Anduo Department. Now the Wusheng Army only has [-] troops from the Anduo Department of Tubo and our [-] captured civilians. All the collected materials were burned to ashes, let the Tubo dogs in Lanzhou City cry! Hahaha! The whole army is attacking!" With a big knife in his hand, the Qianfeng Battalion took the lead in pulling the horse.

.........

Wu Shengjun.

Standing on the low wall of the city wall, An Duo Xiagao suddenly felt a little uneasy for no reason. After thinking for a while, he called a confidant named Ando Shabi and asked, "Where are the slaves captured from Lanzhou?" calm down?"

"These slaves are very obedient." Ando foolishly said proudly: "Don't worry, the patriarch, the subordinate has dispatched 500 people to guard the slave camp. The subordinate has explained that if those lowly slaves dare to make any changes, the knives in the hands of the sons Arrows are not decorations."

An Duo Gao nodded in satisfaction, but still felt a little uneasy. After thinking for a while, he said, "Order to send ten groups of scouts around, and Wu Shengjun's defense should be strengthened, and the patrol team should be doubled. " said An Duo Xiagao as he descended the city wall surrounded by his personal guards.

"Yes, Patriarch!" Ando Shabi bowed respectfully.

At this time, the seemingly peaceful Wu Sheng Army slave camps were secretly surging, and several men were sneaking into the slave camps one by one.

"Brother Jia, why did you come to our place? Be careful if you are caught, your head will be beheaded, and you will be whipped twenty times at the lightest." A young slave saw that Jia Tijian touched his team When the slaves came, they were taken aback.

It wasn't long before Jia Tijian came to Wu Shengjun. He himself was a gold medal spy from the Ministry of Security. Some time ago, he used Wu Shengjun to transport equipment, food and grass to the city of Lanzhou on a large scale. The Lanzhou people who were arrested here have always been calm and obedient, which made the Tubo guards here lose their vigilance. The guards were relatively lax, and they didn't even do the most basic inventory. He started to contact around secretly, and gathered a group of people.

"Brother Liu, do you know? Your Majesty sent an army to defeat the Tibetan dogs, and the army will come to rescue us soon." Jia Tijian said excitedly.

"Really?" Liu Chengshu also showed a surprised expression on his face, "Brother Jia, is it true? How do you know?" Liu Chengshu was originally from Lanzhou, and his family had a small farm, which was much better than ordinary people. Starting the book, I originally planned to take the Xiangfu College next year, but I didn't expect that the Tubo army would invade and capture him. The family members were killed. The hatred for the Tubo people is deep in the bones.The past month of slave life has greatly changed this white-faced scholar, his face is unkempt, and his expression is full of wind and frost.

Jia Tijian looked around cautiously, lowered his voice, and said, "To tell you the truth, brother, I sneaked in voluntarily."

Liu Chengshu was taken aback, there were still people who voluntarily came here to be slaves, but what Jia Tijian said next made him feel relieved.

"I'm a member of the Imperial Security Department. I sneaked in a few days ago. I have received news that within a few days, our army will come to attack Wu Shengjun." Jia Tijian stared closely at Liu Chengshu's eyes , if Liu Chengshu's expression is slightly wrong, he will explode and kill him.

The astonishment on Liu Chengshu's face lasted only for a moment, and then he was ecstatic. He glanced left and right, and said in a low voice, "Brother Jia, are you really from the Ministry of Security?"

Jia Tijian smiled and said, "That's right, I'm from the Ministry of Security. How about it? Do you dare to do it with me?"

"What are you doing?" Xie Ke asked.

"When the army is attacking Wu Sheng's army, we will rise up from inside and join the army to attack Wu Sheng's army." Jia Tijian said.

"Do it, why don't you do it? I've been waiting for this day for a long time. These god-killing Tibetan dogs killed my whole family. I swear not to stand under the blue sky with them." Liu Chengshu gritted his teeth and said.

"Okay, but brother, if you think about it, it will take your life, if you don't do it well, you will die."

"What's the big deal about death? What's the difference between living like this and dying?" Liu Chengshu clenched his fists and said bitterly, "As long as I can kill these Tubo dogs, I'm willing to do anything."

Jia Tijian smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, brother Liu, you go to contact some people, you must be absolutely reliable, and listen to the signal when the time comes, and if you see chaos on my side, your side will start at the same time."

Liu Chengshu nodded vigorously.

Jia Tijian patted him on the shoulder, turned around and sneaked towards the next target.There are more than 1 people in the slave camp, and more than 500 soldiers can't take care of them at all. They can only stand on high guard towers.
