559 Rock Solid

It was a brutal and dreary battle, and after being discovered, the incoming enemy advanced directly with torches.

The comer, apparently prepared, stopped about a hundred paces from the Wolf's Tooth Fort after paying more than a dozen casualties, and then set up a light trebuchet under the escort of a shield.

If you look closely, there are more than a dozen.

Ji Zhenghong was startled when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "Cui Yingzheng, what should I do, these people are not ordinary bandits, they have so many trebuchets, please Cui Yingzheng withdraw first, and I will be behind here." ”

Needless to say, nine out of ten of these people are Tibetans, and they secretly dispatched to dial the Tang Dynasty forward posts, and dispatched more than ten light trebuchets at a time, which shows that the enemy is not only well-prepared, but also determined to win.

Ordinary outposts, after a few rounds of stone-throwing, become full of holes, with the habit of the Tibetan people not to leave a living mouth, the situation here is very dangerous.

Cui Xiyi escorted the top secret materials of the imperial court, as well as the token of the town guard, his status is different, if Cui Xiyi has an accident on his own territory, he will definitely not get any benefits, even if he can run away, he will be held accountable, and the top priority is to send him away.

It's okay to go, Cui Xiyi is here, and Ji Zhenghong has a feeling of being constrained.

Cui Xiyi shook his head and said, "It's a coward to escape from the battle, Chief Ji Bao, are you going to trap the camp in an unrighteous way?" ”

"Don't dare, I'm just worried about Cui Yingzheng's safety." Ji Zhenghong hurriedly explained.

The Wolf's Tooth Fort is a fortress built on a high place, with a lot of lookouts, on the top of the fortress, in addition to the beacon tower that was built, three light trebuchets were also erected, in addition to the fort post that integrated the residence and defense, there was also a three-foot-high horse rejection wall around it, to prevent the enemy's cavalry from reaching the fortress.

"Okay, don't persuade again, no one has to say something like retreat, otherwise the camp is being executed for the crime of disturbing the morale of the army" Cui Xiyi said with a sneer: "Isn't it a trebuchet, our Datang's trebuchet is its ancestor, and it will fight back immediately." ”

Whether it is national strength or armament, the Tang Dynasty is far above Tubo, and Tubo competes with the Tang Dynasty, relying on the geographical advantage and the fierce life, and the turn of the ordnance, the Tang Army is even more than a few streets away from Tubo, and the light trebuchets used by the enemy are not comparable to those eliminated by the Tang Dynasty.

Is it useful to rely on a large amount?

"Boom" "Boom" "Boom"

The big stones were thrown by the stone thrower and smashed on the fortress, Ji Zhengxiong felt that the fortress was shaking, and his face changed greatly on the spot.

If the Wolf's Tooth Fort were to be knocked down, the lives of the 100 soldiers present, including nearly 50 craftsmen, would be in danger.

Ji Zhenghong wanted to persuade Cui Xiyi to leave, but when he saw Cui Xiyi's unchanged face, he remembered that he had just said that if he persuaded him again, he would be executed for disturbing the army's morale, opened his mouth, and finally said nothing.

Disturbing the morale of the army, that is a capital crime, did not die under the enemy's sword, but folded in the hands of his own people, and there is no place to say wrongs.

"Huh", "Huh", "Huh" three times, at this time, the stone-throwing blocks of the Wolf's Tooth Fort also responded, throwing boulders at the invading enemy a hundred paces away.

Several screams were heard in the darkness, and it was obvious that the trebuchet of the Don army had hit the enemy.

In terms of range, accuracy, and power, Datang's trebuchets are far superior to those that attack the enemy.

Cui Xiyi saw from the hidden lookout that it seemed that a projecting trebuchet was hit by a stone projected by the Tang Army and smashed on the spot, and several enemies fell to the ground and their lives were uncertain, so he couldn't help nodding secretly: "The accuracy is good, and there should be no less training on weekdays." ”

"That's" Ji Zhenghong said with some pride: "The trebuchet has two groups of people in charge, and it has to be trained every ten years and assessed every month, and the accuracy is still very good." ”

The soldier did his duty, this is conscientious, Cui Xiyi didn't say anything, but asked calmly: "Has the signal been sent?" ”

"The carrier pigeons can't fly at night, and the beacon has been lit, but the road is slippery when it's dark, and the reinforcements won't arrive until dawn at the earliest."

The nearest military camp is here, there are hundreds of miles, the road is not easy to walk, the horses are not good at walking at night, and the time is a problem when they receive the signal and rush here.

Let an enemy with thousands of people and trebuchets touch here and find out, needless to say, where did the scout make an extremely serious mistake, if Cui Xiyi's people hadn't discovered the abnormality, they wouldn't have found it until the enemy touched his nose.

Of course, these things will be discussed until this difficult time is overcome.

"Dawn?" Cui Xiyi frowned and said, "Then there are still nearly two hours to go, so it depends on the plan to make a protracted battle." ”

"Cui Yingzheng, I am willing to rush out with a team of elite soldiers and destroy their trebuchets." Ji Zhenghong took the initiative to ask.

The wolf's tooth fort is condescending, can be attacked and retreated, has the advantage of geographical advantages, and is not afraid of hand-to-hand combat with the incoming enemy, just afraid of being knocked down by a trebuchet, in Ji Zhenghong's eyes, the biggest threat is the more than ten light trebuchets.

When the enemy came, he did not start a charge at the first time, but blindly used a trebuchet to throw boulders, obviously trying to use the trebuchet to knock down the wolf's tooth fort and then take advantage of the chaos to harvest.

Cui Xiyi looked left and right, waved his hand and said: "Don't be afraid, this is a newly built fortress with cement, and the outer wall is reinforced. ”

Shocked by the words of the dreamer, Ji Zhenghong found out that the Langya Fort was smashed by the thrown boulder, but until now, he has not seen or heard anyone report where it was smashed through.

If you look closely, some of the places that have been hit seem to be cracks, but they are only cracks.

Ji Zhenghong's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "No, it won't, the cement is so powerful?" ”

If it is a rammed earth and brick and wood structure, after so many rounds of smashing, it will not fall, and it is estimated that the damage is not small, but now more than ten rounds of stones have been smashed, and there is no obvious damage, and the enemy has a feeling of thunder and rain.

Cui Xiyi said with some pride: "The military department Shangshu personally presides over it, the camp is personally escorted, and there is a Tang Zhen guard escort on the way, you think it's a joke." ”

"Yes, yes, yes" Ji Zhenghong said overjoyed: "At the beginning, when I knocked down and rebuilt the Langya Fort that had just been strengthened for a long time, I still felt that it was a bit wasteful, and I didn't believe that the cement was so good, but now it seems that I am convinced." ”

Speaking of this, Ji Zhenghong lowered his voice and said: "Cui Yingzheng, is this cement the same as the cement used by General Zheng Peng Zheng to build the bridge in Boling?" ”

"Don't ask about these things, just do your part." Cui Xiyi said with a straight face.

"Yes, yes" Ji Zhenghong was startled and replied repeatedly.

"Well smashed, and hit another enemy catapult." At this time, a soldier in the lookout hole said excitedly.

Cui Xiyi took a closer look, and under the light of the fire and wind, he saw that the enemy's trebuchet position was in chaos, and some people gathered the scattered trebuchets, and couldn't help but show a sneer on his lips.

The Wolf's Tooth Fort, which was originally easy to defend and difficult to attack, was just renovated with cement, and now it can be said to be as solid as a rock.

The incoming enemy was not in a hurry to attack, and wanted to take advantage of the large number of trebuchets to smash the wolf's tooth fort and then take advantage of the chaos to harvest, and the wolf's tooth fort was not in a hurry to attack, and threw boulders at each other with the enemy.

First, I don't know how many enemies have come outside, and I don't know if there are still ambushes, and second, I am happy to delay the time and wait for the delay.

As long as the reinforcements arrive and defend the Wolf's Tooth Fort, it will be a great achievement.

However, after about a quarter of an hour of projectiles from each other, the opposite side stopped projectiles.

Under the control of well-trained soldiers, in less than two quarters of an hour, at the cost of one catapult being smashed and one dead and five wounded, the Tang Dynasty accurately smashed five enemy catapults, and also killed and injured many enemies.

The attacking enemy was very surprised to see that it was useless to throw so many large stones, and after much effort and temptation, he finally gave up his plan to use the trebuchet to smash down the Wolf's Tooth Fort.

A few wolf howls sounded in the darkness, which was a signal for the enemy to retreat, and soon, Ji Zhenghong saw that the enemy had begun to retreat.

Obviously, he couldn't get a bargain, and he was not sure of the hard attack, so he simply retreated.

"Cui Yingzheng, lead a team of people to kill them, don't let them run away easily." Ji Zhenghong took the initiative to ask.

In Ji Zhenghong's eyes, those are not fleeing enemies, but attractive military exploits and moving humanoid ingots.

"Cui Yingzheng, kill out."

"Take advantage of their defeat and retreat, kill him three in and three out."

"Let them know that Wolftooth is not something to be messed with."

Several team leaders and team leaders who followed Ji Zhenghong asked for battle.

The soldiers on duty at the Wolf's Tooth Fort were the most fierce soldiers, all of them brave and belligerent, and when they saw that the enemy was about to flee, they asked to fight.

If you want to be promoted and make a fortune, you rely on military merits, and after the battle of Dial Khan, it has been peaceful for a long time, and even if you want to earn military merits, you have no chance. 、

Seeing that a piece of military exploits is ahead, who is not tempted?

Cui Xiyi looked at a group of soldiers with high morale, shook his head and said: "Who is coming, how many people are coming, and whether there is an ambush or not, it is not clear whether there is an ambush. ”
