Seeing the Lingzhou city that was waiting for battle, the soldiers of Tubo were a little discouraged.

Niu Ben was shouting: "Tubo children, you are lucky!" If it weren't for the fact that grandpa went to the Helan area of Fengzhou some time ago to levy and distribute the soldiers and horses, now you have all become grandpa's horses! Acquaintances hurry up and send them to death, don't anger grandpa and go down to the city and cut off your dog's head! ”

"Reckless and arrogant!!" On the bow benevolence, the horse is about to rush.

The left and right generals hurriedly stopped him, "Major General, the city of Lingzhou is strong, and we don't have siege equipment, so it's not appropriate to fight now!" ”

"Phew!!"

On Gongren spat angrily, so angry that his teeth were about to be crushed.

At the head of the city, Di Renjie smiled, "General Li's hand is very wonderful. ”

"Most of the governors praised it wrongly, so I don't know what the agitation method is." Niu Ben grinned, "I just want to scold him and be angry with him." Seeing his face turn green with anger, my heart can be happy! ”

"Hahaha!" The Great Zhou soldiers at the head of Lingzhou City laughed loudly.

"I'm mad at me!!"

On Gong Ren, it is almost a three-corpse god explosion.

"Major General, the Zhou army is erected and cleared, and Lingzhou is heavily defended. It is difficult for our army to have a plan. Left and right helplessly persuaded Gong Ren, "Why don't you withdraw?" ”

On Gongren gritted his teeth, suddenly raised his knife, and angrily pointed at the ox on the head of the city.

"You take a broken knife and point a fart!" Niu Ben shouted, "You have the ability, you come up and beat me?" ”

There was another burst of laughter in the city.

"You! …… You mountain villager, ignorant fanatic!! Gong Ren was so angry that his whole body was trembling

At this time, a woman in red who was extremely bewitching showed her head and said with a smile: "This general under the city is so handsome, do you have the courage to go up to the city and have three drinks with the concubine?" ”

Niu Ben hugged the woman into his arms and laughed, "Tubo boy, if you can fight the city, even my stinky woman will be yours!" ”

"Stupid and smelly bison, do you treat your wife like this?"

"Just talk! That kid can't beat that kid if he grows one! ”

"Come on, mouth one!"

"Hmm...... Hawkers! ”

Laughter erupted again above the city. Di Renjie avoided his face and couldn't bear to look at it directly, but he also laughed secretly.

"You, you! ...... "On Gong Ren, his face is really white now."

"Major General, withdraw!"

The left and right generals hurriedly pulled up the war horse of Gong Ren and turned around.

On the top of the city of Lingzhou, there was a loud laugh and gongs and drums, as if to see off the departure of the Tubo army.

On Gongren looked up to the sky and sighed for a while, suddenly feeling a softening all over his body, as if the last trace of strength in his heart had been drained away.

Back at the camp, he could only kneel in front of his father to plead guilty.

"That's it, to be expected." This time, Garqinling did not blame him, but said lightly, "Xue Shao is thoughtful, and Di Renjie is not idle, why are there so many loopholes for you to exploit?" ”

"Hey......" Gong Ren slowly got up, and could only sigh.

"Sigh what!" Garqinling rebuked angrily and said, "Xue Shao is the concubine and military minister of the Zhou Dynasty, and the supreme commander of their army. If our army can defeat Lintao and kill it or capture it alive, it is far better than taking ten Lingzhou Metropolitan Governors! ”

"What Father says is true!" On Gong Ren's strong work was excited, "The child once again asked for orders to fight and attack the Zhou army camp!" ”

"Not in a hurry." Garqinling waved his hand and said, "Xue Shao's defense line is well-built and vicious, and if our army forcibly attacks, the casualties will be very heavy. In a little time, we need heavy siege equipment to help in the battle! ”

A few days later, Xue Shao was in the camp.

Guo An came to report that the Tubo army was cutting down mountains and trees to build a ballista artillery truck in preparation for a large-scale siege of the city.

Xue Shao immediately summoned the generals and said to them: "On the Qinling Tomb is building heavy siege equipment and preparing to launch a general attack on our army's sixth line of defense. I ordered Deputy Marshal Lou Shide and the generals Cao Renshi, Dugu Zhizhi, and Sha Zha Zhongyi to lead the main army to evacuate Lintao and retreat to Liangzhou. Ben Shuai personally sat in the sixth line of defense and left behind for your palace. ”

"Xue Shuai, no!" Lou Shide exclaimed, "How can there be a reason for the generals to withdraw first, and the commander of His Royal Highness?" Lou asked for orders to stay in the defense line and be the queen of the whole army! ”

"Nope." Xue Shao waved his hand, and said indifferently with a relaxed expression, "Don't worry, Duke Lou, I'm not acting as a puppet." I led the Chinese army to stay on the defensive line with the Yue cavalry and the jumping army, and I could hold it for a few days. If I can't hold it, I'll withdraw. Then my cavalry will be able to flee quickly, and you don't have to worry about my safety. But after Lou Gong and you go to Liangzhou, you must deploy defenses as soon as possible to prepare for the enemy's pursuit. Don't take it lightly! ”

Hearing Xue Shao say this, Lou Shide was relieved and made a promise with the generals.

"Guo An, your scouts can also withdraw across the river." Xue Shaodao, "The battlefield is about to be transferred, you go to Liangzhou to withdraw the net in advance!" ”

"Yes!"

That night, Lou Shide and the generals led most of the men and horses, took most of the grain, grass and baggage, and quietly evacuated Lintao Wangliangzhou.

Xue Shao only brought 10,000 horsemen to stay in the sixth line of defense.

In fact, it doesn't take too many soldiers and horses to garrison such a fortification. Relying on the geographical advantages and the tools to defend the city, it is really a husband who is invincible. Xue Shaodu only sent Duan Feng to lead 3,000 people to garrison the defense line, and the others were all in the camp to recuperate and feed the war horses, ready to "run away" at any time.

A few days later, the army of the Galchinling launched another offensive.

A row of ballistas shot thick ropes with nail heads and nailed them to the opposite bank, and then the Garqin Mausoleum sent warriors to climb the ropes and brave the rain of arrows on the opposite side to cross the river, tie the ropes firmly and lay the planks. Xue Shao ordered someone to use a stone-throwing cart to throw down balls of grease and grass with fire, and burn his ropes and planks.

At the same time, the stone-throwing cart on the side of the Garqin Mausoleum also started, and huge stones smashed into Xue Shao's fortifications, threatening a lot.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the battle of crossing the river and seizing the beach alone lasted three days and three nights. At a terrible cost, the Galqin Mausoleum finally erected two pontoon bridges and sent a group of brave daredevils across the river.

After a few days of bloody battles, a few people finally climbed Xue Shao's position on the side of the Garqin Mausoleum. But they were all at the end of their crossbows, and they failed to pose much of a threat to Xue Shao's fortifications.

In the two-zhang wide river, the corpses of the Tibetans almost blocked the river. They cut down many large trees and crushed the corpses across the river, and then laid planks on the trees so that the cavalry could kill them.

At this time, Xue Shao decisively gave up his position and retreated as soon as he slipped away.

After a terrible effort and a terrible price, the Garqin Mausoleum finally broke through this line of defense. He sent the general to lead the army to attack Taozhou City, but found that the city gate was wide open and defenseless.

The Tubo general led his army into the city to inspect and found that the entire Taozhou city had become an empty city. Not to mention a living person, even a live mouse is hard to see. The Tibetan soldiers were tired and hungry, so the general told them to occupy the houses and barracks on the spot to cook on the fire, and at the same time sent people to report the military situation to the Garqin Mausoleum.

But before the scouts had left the city, they heard a deafening noise everywhere, as if the whole city was trembling.

Xue Shao's big explosion mines buried in various parts of the city in advance were detonated by the Tubo soldiers who burned the fire and made food!

For a while, the loud noise all over the city was accompanied by black smoke and fire, like a demon appearing in the world, turning the entire city into a human purgatory!

The Garqin Mausoleum, which was still on the opposite side of the riverbank, was stunned. He looked at the fire and black smoke rising into the sky in Taozhou City from a distance, his expression froze for a long time, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

After a long time, Garqinling could only point to Taozhou and curse angrily -

"Xue Shao'er!!"

He remembered an old thing that should have been firmly remembered by him, but was forgotten again. In the Battle of Yinchuan that year, Xue Shao used this "magical" demonic power to defeat the tens of thousands of troops of the Turkic Ye Hu with few defeats.

At the beginning of the battle, Garqinling was still on guard everywhere, for fear that Xue Shao's old tricks would be repeated. But as the battle progressed, his attention gradually fell on Xue Shao's formation, defense line, and his increasingly empty grain and grass.

Unexpectedly, today, just when the Garqin Mausoleum broke through Xue Shao's seven lines of defense, and his heart was relieved for half a minute, Xue Shao suddenly repeated his old tricks, and he coldly let the Garqin Mausoleum plant a heel.

"Paralysis!"

"Careless!"

"How could I have made such a stupid mistake?!"

Although the casualties caused by the explosion were not very heavy, Garchinling felt humiliation and frustration that he had never felt before.

At this moment, Xue Shao had already led his cavalry to run a hundred miles away. The people all the way to the front came to answer, and the leading general was Zhang Qianqiao, the former Yulin general who was demoted to Liangzhou as Sima.

Zhang Qian was very excited to see Xue Shao, dismounted and knelt on the ground, "Zhang never thought that there would be a chance to see Xue Gong again and fight side by side with Xue Gong!" ”

Xue Shao dismounted and helped him up, and said with a smile: "General Zhang, this is called fate!" ”

Zhang Qianqiao laughed very happily, and then knelt down again to bow to Xue Shao.

"Why is that?"

"Zhang has never thanked him, Xue Gong's life-saving grace!"

"Hurry up!" Xue Shao pulled him up and said, "If you really want to thank me, save your strength to kill a few more Tubo enemy soldiers." ”

"Good!" Zhang Qian smiled, stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the horse, "Please Xue Gong get on the horse, Zhang will lead the way to Liangzhou!" ”

In people's impressions, Liangzhou is an ancient city located in the border field corridor of the river, and it has always been a battleground for soldiers. It is windy and sandy, often arid, and the city is dilapidated and dilapidated, almost synonymous with desolation. But today, there are many people who are stunned by the scene of Liangzhou in front of them.

The continuous high city walls enveloped a huge military camp like a mountain. In the camp, the nine palaces and gossip are stationed in different positions, and there are high walls and huge bases everywhere. The periphery of the arrow tower is densely lined with banners, and the people and horses inside are flowing endlessly, and they are divided into four pieces by three huge walls and passes, and the original city of Liangzhou is in the innermost layer.

The barracks and the city have been united. These three huge walls and big passes are like the three new military defense lines in front of Liangzhou City.

"Second brother, where did you come from to become such a huge military town?" Even Xue Chuyu was stunned, "These walls are even higher than those in Chang'an. In the land of Liangzhou County, where did there come from so many huge stones? ”

"It's not natural stone, it's made of cement." Xue Shao smiled, "I am convinced that every line of defense here is a hundred times stronger than our sixth line of defense in Taozhou." I also sincerely hope that when the Garqin Mausoleum sees this scene in front of him, he will never vomit blood! ”
