Chapter 520: Closing the Door and Fighting the Dog (3)
Tubo detoured to the Western Regions, crossed the Mulang River at night, and intended to raid the direction of the west city of Wu'an City, which was weakly defended, this plan was finally discovered, but the combat effectiveness of this army was indeed strong, after the five thousand troops led by Li Xun arrived, plus their main general was killed, they did not break their will, the two sides fought fiercely for nearly an hour, 10,000 Tubo troops, at least 6,000 soldiers, and Li Xun's side, the number was less than 4,000 left, and then, Liu Qin led his own headquarters of 5,000 soldiers and horses to arrive, his arrival, It was a little unexpected for Li Xun, but now is not the time to ask more, with Liu Tan's five thousand soldiers and horses, there is no big problem here in Xicheng.
"I'll leave it to you here, I have other things to do."
Li Xun explained to Huang Liangyi and Li Xiao, and then took Jiang Daxiong and hundreds of other personal soldiers to leave the battlefield and rush towards Dongcheng.
"Hasn't Tubo withdrawn its troops yet?"
Li Xun asked loudly.
It was almost time, and the Tibetan army began to attack from Choushi, which was close to four hours before and after, and it was extremely rare to attack the city for such a long time and almost without interruption.
Zhao Feidu said hatefully: "This group of bastards is like taking an aphrodisiac, like a mad dog, fighting to the death and not retreating, if we continue to fight like this, the Tubo people will be finished, and we may be crippled." ”
Li Xun looked left and right, Dongcheng was the main direction of attack, the defenders were close to 25,000 people, he took 5,000 himself, and there were 20,000, but now it seems that there are no more than 10,000 people.
And outside the city, corpses are everywhere, some places have been piled up into hills, the 100,000 Tubo army besieging the city, fighting until now, at least more than 40,000 have been killed, but Gewa personally supervised the battle, and there is a supervising army behind, the Tubo soldiers retreat is sure to die, and can only choose to attack the city before, so, the current situation on the battlefield, the Tubo soldiers who are besieging the city, although their physical strength has reached the limit, has become completely crazy in the absence of a way out, and they are not afraid of death, wave after wave of impact.
Jiang Daxiong looked at the Tubo people's siege method of not being afraid of death, even he shrank his head a little, and said puzzledly: "Are the Tubo people crazy, and they will die like this." ”
Li Xun sneered: "It's not that they are not afraid of death, but they were forced to die by Gewa." ”
After speaking, Li Xun said to Jiang Daxiong: "Throw the head of the Tibetan general out and let Gewa see that his plan is over." ”
Jiang Daxiong nodded, took a military flag, inserted the head of the Tubo general, roared, and with all his strength, the military flag spear with the head broke through the air and fell into the Tubo army.
The existence of the military flag was very eye-catching, and someone immediately found it and picked it up, and handed it to the chief general of the overseer, Ke Cook, who did not know Gewa's plan, so when he saw this head, he was immediately taken aback, extremely surprised, this Tibetan lord knew him, this person was not ordered to garrison the Tubo mainland? How could he be here, and he was already dead.
Kekuk did not dare to delay, and immediately ran to Gewa and handed him the head of the Tibetan lord.
Gewa held his head and stared at it for a long time, as if he had lost all his strength in an instant, and his body was paralyzed on the chariot, his eyes closed, and his chest rose and fell violently.
After a long while, Gewa regained his composure, opened his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "How is the battle going?" ”
Cook said in a deep voice: "The strength of the defenders of the eastern city, for some reason, seems to have weakened a little, and until now, both of us have suffered heavy casualties, and now it depends on who can hold on better." ”
Listening to Cook's words, Gewa was silent, the strength of the defenders of Dongcheng suddenly weakened, and he understood as soon as he thought about it, it must be the surprise attack on the side of Xicheng, so that the Jin army had to divide a part of the defending army from Dongcheng to support, and now the defense of Dongcheng has weakened, and this has an opportunity.
Gerva pondered for a moment, just as he had made up his mind to press all the last 5,000 guards around him, throw it alone, and attack the city with all his might.
Dozens of cavalry behind him approached quickly, and when they got closer, the leading officer shouted: "Urgent military situation." ”
The general of the Guards stopped these people, and after asking the reason for the matter, the face of the commander of the Guards changed greatly, turned around and walked quickly to Gewa, and reported loudly: "King, urgent military situation, the Jin army broke through Wuzhuo County, and then marched to Shenchi County." ”
"How many are there?"
"More than fifty thousand."
Hearing this, Ge Wa suddenly gasped, his first consciousness was to think of the first battle of Longyou, the Jin army under the command of Li Zhong, in a place and time that everyone did not expect, suddenly launched an attack, giving the Tubo army a fatal blow, and now I heard that there was suddenly a Jin army of more than 50,000 people, breaking through Wuzhuo County and attacking Shenchi County, this is similar to the first battle of Longyou, Ge Wa couldn't help but think, the general who led this army, could it be Li Zhong?
Ke Cook said loudly: "King, there are 50,000 defenders in Shenchi County, and the Jin army is difficult to break through for a while, and now Wu'an City is at the end of the strong crossbow, we should strengthen the attack, fight with all our strength, and wait until we capture Wu'an City, and then go back to the army to rescue Shenchi County." ”
In the first battle of Longyou, Broken Dragon Fort was such a strong fortress, Lang, Shan, and Sanzhou were heavily guarded, and in the end it was not easily broken by Li Xun one by one, if this army was really led by Li Zhong, since he dared to appear at this moment, he must have a plan and method to deal with himself.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, at this moment, Gewa had no intention of fighting, he ignored the dissuasion of many generals, and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat immediately and return to Shenchi County.
With the sound of drums, the Tibetan army besieging the city retreated like a tide, and the faces of the vast majority of the Tibetan soldiers were full of happiness for the rest of their lives.
Gewa looked at the troops withdrawn from the direction of Beicheng and Nancheng, he invested 10,000 troops to attack the city in both directions, and now that the war is over, there are less than 3,000 of the 10,000 soldiers left in the direction of Nancheng, obviously he tried his best, and there are still more than 7,000 people in Beicheng, seeing this scene, Gewa's face suddenly turned cold.
