Chapter 23: The Iron Cavalry and the Golden Drum (6)
[It's eleven o'clock when I get home, and I finally get out of a chapter. It's really not going to work, I'll wait until the day to catch up. γ
Seeing the enemy troops besieging the city go away little by little, Wang Shao's mind relaxed slightly. The sound of the trumpet still seemed to be ringing in my ears, but the city was empty. Wang Shao secretly praised Yu Zang Huama's decision to let go and let go, and if someone else came to lead the army, he would probably stop after hitting his head and bleeding.
Although he was still worried about Wang Sunsin and his more than a thousand soldiers trapped in the city of Xingluo. is also ready to pick out about a thousand elites from the city, and chase after the retreating enemy army, so that they are unable to attack Xingluo Yucheng - the reason for Yu Zang Huama's retreat is quite difficult to think about. The few answers that Wang Shao thought of made sense, making it difficult for him to be sureβbut for now, Wang Shao just wanted to relax for a while.
But Wang Hou quickly shattered his illusions, and he hurriedly led a man to the city. Wang Shao recognized him, but he was Han Gang's cronies. Yu Zang Huama withdrew from the siege, and the communication with Gu Wei had been restored, and there was nothing surprising that the messenger entered the city.
"What the hell did Yukun say?" After he saluted, Wang Shao immediately asked, "Are there any reinforcements?" β
The cronies nodded: "Yes." Jiyi has already said that he has started the blind drug inspection. β
The camp guarded by Miao Zhu, as well as the Weiyuan Fort presided over by Wang Shao, were all steadily defended under the attack of the Tubo army led by Yu Zang Huama. Even at the height of the offensive, Wang Shao did not count on reinforcements.
He thought that Yu Longke would come first, Qingtang City was only thirty or forty miles away from Guwei Village, and with the means of Gao Zunyu and Han Gang, he should be able to force Yu Longke's fox out of the hole.
Wang Shao didn't expect that Han Gang heard the news halfway to Weiyuan, and went directly to find a closer blind medicine. However, the blind medicine is more untamed than his brother, and it is much more difficult to make him angry than it is to pull out an old fox. Sending troops to be hostile to Yu Zang Huama, the attitude of blind medicine from Yu Longke to fall with the wind has become more inclined to the Great Song Dynasty.
"What did Han Yukun say about the blind medicine?" Wang Shao helped his father ask what he wanted to ask.
The messenger told Han Gang what he had done, from beginning to end, as it was. Although Wang Shao and Wang Hou were accustomed to Han Gang's style of acting, they were still surprised that he directly killed Ye Lizheng, and they were also quite appreciative of Han Gang's abandonment of a great achievement that could make him famous in the court.
"Yukun has helped a lot." After listening, Wang Shao muttered, and then he suddenly raised his head and said to Wang Hou, "Go and find Miao Du, this time you have to let Yu Zang Huama come and go!" β

After sunrise, the air above the city was still filled with the smell of burning torches. Waiting for the sun to rise in the middle of the sky, it has not faded after half a day. The dust in the air stained the clear blue of the zenith a few days ago with an ambiguous cloudiness.
Wang Sunchen closed his eyes and leaned on the pheasant moat and pretended to sleep. There was a night battle, and the city and the city were exhausted. The strength of the Tubo people was only twice that of Wang Sunchen, and they stayed up all night last night, and no one could rest. Not only was Wang Sunsin's side tired enough, but the enemy troops under the city did not continue to attack today.
It's just that even if it is attacked, Wang Sunchen is not afraid at all. According to the normal exchange ratio of combat power, more than 2,000 soldiers can barely compete with 1,000 elite forbidden troops. If it weren't for the fact that they were all cavalry, and that the main force attacking Weiyuan Fort might return at any time, Wang Sunchen would have sent people out of the city to fight in the field.
One of Wang Sunsin's literate personal soldiers reported the losses of the previous night in front of him, "There were two hundred and three of the soldiers who fought last night, and forty-two did not return. The remaining more than 30 seriously injured and sick people will not be able to return to the battle in a short time. β
Wang Sunsin's face was as gloomy as the sky above his head, and only 200 people followed him out of the city to raid, 42 people failed to return, and more than 30 people were now lying on the hospital bed. The people he brought out of the night attack were the elite of the elite, and he didn't expect the loss to be so miserable.
Wang Sunsin's eyes were closed, and his soldiers didn't know what he was thinking, and in hesitation, his voice stopped.
"Why didn't you say it?" Wang Sunchen opened his eyes and asked.
The soldiers hurriedly continued to Wang Sunchen: "There are still more than 12,000 arrows, which have been gathered and distributed to those who are good at archery. However, there is no way to defend the city. β
There was an extreme shortage of arrows in the city, and there was no oil, no wood and stone, not even firewood and grass to boil water, and even less equipment to defend the city. Although the Song army was good at defending, it was difficult for the Qiao women to cook without rice, and they lacked enough materials to defend the city, so Wang Sunchen could only let his subordinates prepare to fight the Tubo people on the city.
Wang Sunchen wondered very much in his heart, he was not a traffic artery like the Dalai Valley, nor did he hide how much gold and silver treasures, he was just emptying the city, how could the thieves bite it? Whether it is a Tibetan person or a party member, they all fight to grab money, food and women, and they will not do loss-making business at any time.
However, Wang Sunsin found that the people he was facing now were all organized elites, and their tenacity was much stronger than that of ordinary Tibetans, so he was surprised: 'Who are they?' β
A faint tremor from the ground interrupted Wang Sunsin's speculation. He jumped to his feet and looked east. He saw dust and smoke rising in the sky, covering the valley in the eastern mountains like mist, and after a while, thousands of cavalry appeared before his eyes.
The trumpet sounded, and thousands of troops came to the ground, and in the ears of the defenders in the city, it was like the chains of the Gousi people ringing.
The enemy troops surrounding the city suddenly increased by nearly one and a half times as many men. At the head of the city, everyone's face turned white, and the original state of being besieged was gradually exhausted. Now there is another new force, which makes them completely lose confidence.
Wang Sunchen looked at his subordinates who became numb, and a fierce anger rose in his heart, "If you don't want to die, listen to me!" The Tibetan people are only six or seven thousand people, when will the Tibetan thieves be able to break the city if they are less than ten times the defenders?! Cheer me up! β
He roared loudly and said nonsense without hesitation: "No one wants to be told that the two eggs in the crotch of their pants are scared by the Tibetan people, right?" Don't lose the face of the Kansai man. Hold on today, Wang Anfu will definitely bring reinforcements tomorrow! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the Xixia camp besieging Xingluo Junction City, Yu Zang Huama jumped off the horse. The tiredness accumulated over the past few days did not affect his agility in the slightest, but the smoke and dust that rose made him cough a few times.
Although the troops had been withdrawn from Weiyuan Fort, Yu Zang Huama did not immediately retreat along the Dalai Valley to the west side of Bird and Mouse Mountain. Although he has achieved his original goal, this time he mobilized the people, and even made a wish and gift to Mu Zheng's younger brother, but he didn't even beat a city.
Sending troops to work in vain, and doing a loss-making business will definitely greatly hurt the morale of the army. Yu Zang Huama knew that the patriarchs of the Xiaofan tribe under his command followed him to fight, the purpose was to enrich the woman, but it was not loyalty. If you can't gun something back. The thief is not empty-handed Yu Zang Huama has never heard of these four words, and even if he hears it, he will not use it on his head, but his thoughts coincide with these four words. It's nothing if you can't beat Weiyuan Fort, but if you can't even beat Xingluo Jiecheng, it will be too embarrassing.
Yu Zang Hua Ma dismounted, and several generals of the Yu Zang family immediately knelt down in front of him. With his face on the ground, he didn't dare to raise his head slightly, and with a deep sense of shame, he pleaded guilty to Yu Zang Huama.
Yu Zanghua Ma stared at the back of their heads condescendingly, and her eyes were full of anger that hated iron and steel.
At the beginning, Yu Zang Huama never imagined that he could successfully capture Weiyuan Fort, and if he could capture Xingluo Junction City, it would be worthwhile. But he didn't expect that the people he left behind would be incompetent like this. He handed over the elite of his headquarters to a few of them, and he led the coalition army of the vassal tribe to block Weiyuan Fort. Attacking a dilapidated city with nearly three times the force, and the city is alone, there is no result until now.
"If you like to kneel, just kneel, and try to see if you can kneel down Xingluo Yucheng." Yu Zang Huama dropped a sentence fiercely and strode into the main tent.
Several generals raised their heads, their faces were as pale as dirt, they didn't expect Yu Zang Huama to be so angry. This made them lose their way for a while, and they didn't know what to do. But soon Yu Zang Huama's guards came out and summoned them in.
"Say, how long will it take you to take that city down?" Yu Zanghua asked with a tiger face.
There was silence in the tent for a while, and a hesitant voice sounded: "...... One day. β
Yu Zang Huama casually picked up a teacup in his hand and smashed it down, "Where did you come from one day?!" β
When he retreated, he guarded the back road with a thousand elites, making it impossible for Wang Shao to pursue at close range. The time gained from it, Yu Zang Huama thought about using it to break the city in one fell swoop. But there is also a time limit for him to fight for the time, and Wang Shao will never abandon the soldiers in Xingluo Jiecheng. Yu Zang Huama has an understanding of the number of soldiers blocked in the city, with three commands and thousands of troops, Wang Shao definitely can't afford to lose. Even if the road was blocked, he would definitely try to make a detour from elsewhere to come to the rescue.
According to Yu Zang Huama's calculations, under Wang Shao's pursuit, he only had less than a day. If after half a day, he still can't capture Xingluo Junction City, the only choice left is to retreat with hatred.
Yu Zang Huama, who has just inherited the position of the head of the Yu Zang family, will never let his name be associated with failure. His cold gaze licked the faces of the generals like a viper's letter, staring at their hearts for a while.
I can only hear the voice of this Tibetan chieftain, so cold that it can turn September into a wax moon, "After three trumpets, if you can't attack the city, you will be killed!" β
