Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 339 Battle Eight

Gar Dongzan saw that a large number of slaves had been consumed, and he had initially achieved his goal, but the most important thing was the elite of the tribe, but there were no fools who could be the patriarch, and it was impossible for him to watch from behind and attack by himself.

"Everyone, Songzhou City has been continuously attacked for many days, and has been harassed day and night. The Tang army is exhausted. It will start tomorrow and attack with all its strength. It must break the city. Think about the wealth of the Tang Dynasty. After the city is broken, let the thieves Plunder." In the big tent, Gar Dongzan seduced.

"Grand Minister, we have been attacking for many days, and I am afraid that we will not be able to do it." Outside of Songtsan Gampo, the largest Ho clan, Ho Kumara said strangely.

"The patriarch is right! His subordinates are exhausted, and so many Gui people have died (Gui, a name for Tubo slaves, refers to slaves who join the army, and ordinary slaves are called Yong!)" Some other patriarchs also They all agreed.

There was a trace of murderous intent in Gar Dongzan's eyes, which disappeared in a flash, and he said with a smile: "Of course, you will attack the other three sides tomorrow, and the front will be handed over to the truth, but it is best not to secretly preserve your strength. If the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arrive, everyone There is no benefit to be gained.”

"Of course! Of course! I will definitely do my best." A group of people headed by Hu Kumara quickly agreed. After all, what Gar Dongzan said was right. When the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty arrived, they would be able to steal chickens without losing money. Rice, and the wealth of Datang made them yearn for it very much.

Usually, cattle and sheep are needed to exchange wine, porcelain, silk, etc. Now they are free in the city, so how can they not be tempted? According to Tubo legends, the people of Tang Dynasty used exquisite porcelain, wore silk, and could not finish drinking. The white wine, the endless food, the greedy patriarchs' eyes lit up when they thought of the mountains of wealth in the city.

…………

Gar Dongzan didn't know that the reinforcements from the Tang Dynasty he was talking about had arrived nearby one after another, but because of the distance, they hadn't arrived yet.

Gao Zengsheng, Jiuqie Luosheng, Zheng Yuan Wangshou, Li Daoyan, Wei Xiaojie, Xue Wanshu have all rushed to the vicinity of Songzhou, and there are [-] government soldiers in total, and they will approach Songzhou after they meet.

And this time it was not only the soldiers from the nearby prefectures, but also [-] soldiers from Nanyang and other places led by Yu Chigong, Xue Wanjun, and Cheng Mingzhen. These soldiers were originally accustomed to the mountains and forests.

As for why Yu Chigong appeared in Shuzhong, it was also because Lingnan was too far away, and it took more than a month to transport the soldiers. Li Jing arranged for Yuchigong to be the main general, Xue Wanjun, and Cheng Mingzhen as deputy generals, to come to Shuzhong to support.

After all, there is no shortage of generals in other places, and there is no shortage of candidates for the army, but the only people from Lingnan are Feng Daijin, Liu Renshi, and Cheng Wuting.

"Refer to Duke E! General Xue Wanshu, the farthest governor of Liangzhou, has arrived, and everyone has arrived. Should we continue to set up camp, or do we have other arrangements? Please give your order." Cheng Wuting entered the big tent and looked at the people who were studying the map. , ignoring his father, he clasped his fists at Yuchi Gong and said solemnly.

"Okay! We're all here at last. Order to rest on the spot. Set off in an hour and approach Songzhou before sunset. Tomorrow morning, launch a surprise attack!" Yu Chigong had already discussed with other people in the past few days, and he just waited for them to arrive. , they approached Songzhou, and used the opportunity to make a surprise attack to relieve the siege of Songzhou. Not to mention completely destroying the Tubo army, at least they must be defeated miserably.

As for why they didn't get close to Songzhou in advance, it also means that the people are not all there, so they should not act rashly, and if they get too close, they will be easily spotted by Tubo spies.

"The general understands!" Cheng Wuting clasped his fists again, turned around and went out to deliver the order.

"Young Master Ling and you really came out of the same mold, and you can tell at a glance that you will have a lot of promise in the future." Xue Wanjun looked at Cheng Wuting who left, and congratulated Cheng Mingzhen.

"Thank you General Xue for the compliment." Cheng Mingzhen has always been serious, but he still smiled happily when others praised his son.

"He's a good boy! He will definitely do something in the future." Yu Chigong also put on an air of politeness on the side.

"Come here at home, I'll go to greet you first, excuse me first." Xue Wanjun shook his head and cupped his hands in a funny way.

"Let's go, let's go together!" Although the leader is away, the proper etiquette should not be disrespectful. The three brothers of the Xue family have high official positions, and no one can despise them.

Welcoming Xue Wanshu into the big tent, except for the juniors, everyone else was familiar with them, so it was inevitable to have some conversations, and then introduced the results of the discussions and asked for his opinions.

Xue Wanshu is Xue Wanjun's eldest brother. He is obviously older. The age difference between the brothers is quite large, but they are both military generals. They still look mighty and strong, and they are tall. Pack up and go to Songzhou.

At this time, Songzhou City was continuously attacked by Tubo for many days and harassed day and night. Even if they took turns to fight, they were miserable and extremely tired.

This is also the weakness of the defensive side. Although the defense says that there are cities occupying a favorable location, it depends on others when to attack, and the advantage of the time is not available.

And because they were trapped in the city, it was very difficult to sneak out of the city. After all, no one would be a fool. If there were no sentries, it could be said that as long as the city gates were opened, or if large troops left the city, they would be discovered immediately.

Gar Dongzan is not only a political expert, but also has strong military capabilities. He constantly attacked Songzhou City, pretended to attack, and even pretended to be a surprise attack at night. These methods are also used one by one.

Fortunately, Li Xiaogong and Niu Jinda were not weak. The two took turns guarding, and Datang was an expert in fire prevention. Since the discovery of oil, when defending cities and some important places, they not only prepared water to put out fires, but also fine sand and soil.

The Tubo rocket attacking the city was easily extinguished, and the tunnel attacking the city could not escape the "ground listening" (buried in the ground with a large tank, covered with cowhide, and monitored by a special person.) Instead, hundreds of people died.

The corners of the wall were transported by carts, and they were smashed to pieces by huge rolling stones and trees. The siege ladder was used to attack the city, and it was pushed by the "fork pole".

Li Xiaogong did not expect Gar Dongzan to be so proficient in siege for several days in a row. He had obviously studied the art of war in the Central Plains and was guided by a famous teacher.

Fortunately, Li Xiaogong and Niu Jinda are also veterans in the battlefield, they have seen many kinds of tricks, and they are well-prepared, so they didn't panic.

"Boss, these brothers sneaked in from outside the city at night and said they wanted to see you!" A patrol led four soldiers in Tang uniforms and went to report not far from Li Xiaogong.

　Thanks to Dichlorvos, One Autumn Leaf and dozens of big brothers for their monthly tickets, thank you for your support.
