Chapter 1959: Breaking the Door
The barbarian army has besieged the Heavenly Palace for four whole days, and the walls of the Heavenly Palace are surrounded by corpses, and the barbarian soldiers are besieging the magnificent Heavenly Palace all over the mountains, and the walls of the Heavenly Palace have collapsed and broken in many places.
The Heavenly Palace was built by Feng Yuanpo with a lot of manpower, and in fact, when Xuan Yuan arrived in Hexi, the Heavenly Palace had not yet been fully completed.
According to the original plan, the entire Heavenly Palace is centered on the thirty-six palaces, and the seventy-two palaces surround the surrounding area, closing the number of Tiangang and Earth, and the palace that is currently completed, except for the Tiandao Hall as the center and the dozen or so Tiangang palaces around it, the Disha Palace has hardly broken ground, and the one hundred and eight large and small palaces that the entire Tiangong originally planned to build have only a dozen completed.
In fact, only the Heavenly Dao Hall and a few nearby palaces have been completely renovated, with the Heavenly Dao Hall as the center, closing the left and right palaces as a whole, and building high walls around it.
At the beginning of the construction of the Heavenly Palace site, naturally there is some attention, the higher the terrain, the better, the Heavenly Dao Hall is built on a mountain, it seems to rise from the ground, it seems to float in the air from a distance, and because of this, the road to the Heavenly Dao Temple is also extremely difficult to build, and the surrounding is even steeper and steeper, it is really easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Tushi Khan was determined to conquer the city of Wuping, so it was inevitable to win the Heavenly Palace, but this was also supported by the generals of various tribes, not to mention that the Heavenly Palace looked magnificent and magnificent, in the eyes of many barbarians, there were also gold, silver and jewelry, if the Heavenly Palace was really laid, it would naturally be able to make a fortune.
Compared with the solidity of Wuping Mansion City, the wall of the Heavenly Palace is actually not very high, and it is not strong, it is nothing more than a steep location, although the cavalry cannot play any role, even if the infantry wants to attack it, it is also very difficult, but in the hearts of the barbarian soldiers, they would rather attack the Heavenly Palace, which does not look solid, than die in vain under the city of Wuping Mansion.
Just attacking the Heavenly Palace, the price paid is really not small, around the palace wall, has become more terrifying than the hell of Abi, it seems that close means death, a few days down, the morale of the barbarians also began to decline, they ran all the way from the prairie, just to seek wealth, not to give their lives, if even their lives are gone, what is the use of asking for money?
Tushi Khan was also indescribably annoyed in his heart.
This time gathered tens of thousands of elite horsemen, for the barbarians, these soldiers and horses almost covered the most capable of fighting the tribes on the grassland, such a strong division, if you can't attack the city of Wupingfu can also use the city is too strong and there are no siege weapons and so on, then 20,000 people were mobilized to attack the Heavenly Palace, but the loss of troops still can't be taken, this is really not good to continue to find a reason.
Of course, the barbarian army will not have any information, and Tushi Khan actually already knows that there are thousands of elite royal guards stationed in the city of Wuping Mansion, but there is almost no regular army in the Heavenly Palace, although a very small part of the guards are transferred from the guards to guard the Heavenly Palace, but the main component of the resistance of the Heavenly Palace is the strong men who built the Heavenly Palace before.
He knew from the rest of the population that those strong men had undergone extremely short training, but they were not qualified warriors at all, in other words, the guards of the Heavenly Palace were just a group of plopping strong men, and their ability to build projects far exceeded their combat ability.
It is precisely because of this that Tushi Khan was very annoyed in his heart, facing a heavenly palace guarded by strong men who did not know how to fight, he attacked for four days in a row, but suffered heavy casualties, and still did not break through the heavenly palace, which he could not accept no matter what.
Looking at the magnificent Heavenly Palace, Tu Shi Khan frowned, but his heart was extremely anxious.
Before attacking the Heavenly Palace, he not only sent people to survey the terrain, but after the offensive was launched, because of the lessons of attacking Wuping Mansion City, Tushi Khan spent a lot of thought and learned some simple siege methods.
For example, the soil fills the ditch, the hook rope climbs, etc., although their hook rope has little effect when attacking Wuping Mansion City, but when attacking the Heavenly Palace, it still plays a big role, every day there are many barbarian soldiers who use the hook rope to climb the wall and kill the Heavenly Palace, but the resistance inside is too strong, so far, it has not been able to form a fatal threat to the Heavenly Palace.
Tushi Khan didn't think about really being able to conquer the land of Hexi, he just knew that the Qin State was in turmoil, Hexi's troops were empty, and he wanted to plunder with the barbarian tribes and return to the grassland with rich booty, he didn't want this war to last too long, although it was because the logistics supply could not be guaranteed, but the more important reason was that Tushi Khan was worried that sooner or later there would be reinforcements to come to the rescue.
In the eyes of Tushi Khan, the Central Plains is vast and vast, far from being able to deal with the barbarians, although the Qin State is turbulent, but there is no guarantee that no one will come to the rescue, if the city is not attacked for a long time, and the Qin State has other soldiers and horses to come to the rescue, then there will be no chance to take the city of Wuping Mansion.
The sound of killing on the side of the heavenly palace shook the sky, although it was already dusk, but the siege still did not stop, the sound of fighting was loud, the barbarian soldiers around the heavenly palace like ants launched an offensive again and again, going forward and one after another, on the wall of the heavenly palace, the people guarding it were also sworn to resist, the boulders and logs smashed down from the city, and there were screams everywhere, and the magnificent heavenly palace was like a lonely boat in the storm, which could be overturned by the wind and waves at any time.
Tushi Khan hoped that the wind and waves would be stronger, and he didn't want to spend too much time in the Heavenly Palace, so he ordered the trumpets in the army to blow all the horns, and the low horn sound resounded throughout the heavens and the earth, increasing the morale of the barbarians who were fighting bloodily.
According to the agreement, if the Heavenly Palace is breached, all the property in the Heavenly Palace will be distributed by these tribes, and now in order to attack the Heavenly Palace, these tribes have suffered many casualties, but they have gained nothing, of course, they are reluctant to retreat, they are all thinking of shaking their teeth and forcibly capturing the Heavenly Palace, so that the property obtained may be able to supplement the losses of the tribe, otherwise the clansmen who died in the war will die in vain.
Seeing that it was getting late, Tu Shi Khan held the horse whip, walked back and forth, the anxiety was overflowing, suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, turned his head to look, only to see five or six horsemen galloping, to the nearest place, those horses dismounted one after another, walked quickly, Tu Shi Khan saw these people in torn clothes, a look of embarrassment, frowned, asked: "What's wrong?" Where is Jochidai? ”
The people of the Central Plains look at the barbarians, and they all seem to be the same, but in the eyes of the barbarians, they can tell at a glance which tribe the other party is from.
Jochitai led his troops to loot grain and grass, Tushi Khan was naturally clear, seeing these barbarians suddenly appear, he was a little puzzled, he is now the commander of the coalition army, if Jochitai returns with a full load, he can only come to report by himself, and only send a few soldiers to report, in the rules of the barbarians, it is naturally disrespectful.
Several barbarian soldiers were extremely depressed, and some of them had a look of horror in their eyes, and one of them had already saluted: "Tushi Khan, Shushu Chitai is dead!" ”
Tushi Khan didn't react for a while, and wondered: "Dead? Who died? You're saying that Jujutsu Akatai is dead? When he came to his senses, he looked surprised: "Why did he die?" ”
"Tushi Khan, there is an ambush!" "The night before yesterday, we found a city, but there was already an ambush in that city, and they had thousands of them, all cavalry, far above us, and we were surrounded by them!" ”
"Cavalry?" Tushi Khan frowned and said, "Surround you? You read that right? ”
The barbarian soldier said helplessly: "Jochitai and more than a thousand people, all of them were killed, a few of us, we are desperately killed!" ”
Before Tushi Khan could speak, one of the people behind him had already asked in a deep voice: "Thousands of you have died in battle, just a few of you will be killed?" You're lying. "This person is the barbarian Wanhu Ibu who also participated in the Battle of Autumn Wind Plain, the four great barbarian tribes who participated in the Battle of Autumn Wind Plain, Van Persie and An Lei are on the battlefield, while Jochitai and Ibu are finally dispersed.
After Fan Persie and An Lei left the battlefield, they naturally did not return to Hexi, but plundered all the way and killed back to the grassland.
Jochitai and Ibu retreated to Hexi to rest after the battle, and Jochitai, like Jochitai, Ibu also stayed to wait for rewards and pensions, and finally rebelled against Qin, but this time Jochitai drew lots to loot, but Ibu drew a short lot, so he could only stay and continue to attack the city, at this time, among the barbarian soldiers who attacked the Heavenly Palace, there were thousands of Yibu's command.
His face was grim, and several barbarian soldiers had changed color on their faces, how cunning Tushi Khan was, he had already seen the clues, and sneered: "Ben Khan is the commander of the alliance, if you dare to lie to Ben Khan, Ben Khan will punish you in the most cruel way." ”
Several barbarian soldiers immediately lowered their heads, and one said: "Tushi Khan, we have already been captured, and it was they who let us go!" ”
For the barbarians, it is a glory to die on the battlefield, but it is a great shame to be captured by the enemy, and several barbarian soldiers did not dare to lie under the cold gaze of Tushi Khan, but admitting to being captured was naturally an extremely humiliating thing.
"Whose cavalry?" Tu Shi Khan asked with a cold face.
"It's the Northwest Army!" Razor Soldiers.
Tushi Khan turned his head to look at Ibu, but Ibu had already changed color slightly, and explained: "Tushi Khan, it is Chu Huan, it is the army from the northwest. ”
"You mean, the army that defeated you last time?"
"Yes!" Eevee's face was extremely ugly, "It's them, but we were not defeated by them, but betrayed by traitors." ”
Tushi Khan knew what Ibu meant, and bowed his head slightly, "Ibu, don't worry, when Ben Khan returns to the grassland, he will definitely uphold justice for you, but how could the Northwest Army come to the northwest?" Didn't you tell me, what kind of huan is that? ”
"Chu Huan!" Yi Bu said: "As far as I know, he has set himself up as king, known as the king of Chu, and is a great traitor to the state of Qin. ”
"Yes, since he is a traitor to the Qin State and has established himself as a king, why did he send troops to save the Qin State?" Tushi Khan frowned, he was still worried that if he couldn't attack for a long time, the reinforcements of the Qin State would suddenly appear, this was really afraid of something, the Northwest Army suddenly appeared, and wiped out thousands of cavalry, including Jochitai.
Tushi Khan's face is not good-looking, but it is not because of the annihilation of the entire army of Jochitai, but because his goal has not been reached, a new enemy suddenly appears, until if the entire army of Jochitai is annihilated, Tushi Khan is not only not sad in the depths of his heart, but is very happy, the tribe of Jochitai is also a big clan in the Mobei grassland, it is not a problem to organize three or four thousand iron cavalry, it is not a good bone to gnaw, Tushi Khan has the heart to dominate the grassland, I heard that the people and horses of this tribe in the Central Plains have now been wiped out, and the strength of the entire tribe has plummeted, Naturally, there is a secret joy in my heart.
Several barbarians looked at each other, and finally one of them said: "They didn't let us back, but they asked us to bring a word to Tushi Khan." ”
Tu Shi Khan let out an "oh", his eyebrows raised slightly, "Chu Huan knows about Ben Khan?" ”
"We didn't see that Chu Huan, their leader just asked us to pass the word to the commander of the coalition army!"
Tu Shi Khan thought that Chu Huan knew his reputation, and he was still a little complacent, but when he heard this, he was immediately a little disappointed, and said angrily: "What did they say?" ”
"That man, that man, told us to tell Tursh Khan only one sentence!" The barbarian lowered his head, "He said that wherever he came from, he would go back, and if he didn't follow, he wouldn't be able to leave one by one!" ”
"Bold!" Tu Shi Khan was furious, "How dare he say this?" He thought that he had tens of thousands of people, strong soldiers and strong horses, even if the other party wanted to let him withdraw the army, he would always say two sentences, but he didn't expect the other party to speak disrespectfully, so he didn't seem to put the barbarian army in his eyes at all, clenched his fists, and sneered: "What about the Northwest Army?" What about Chu Chuhuan, Ben Khan has tens of thousands of iron horses, are you still afraid that the small Northwest Army will not succeed? How many men and horses does he have, can he be stronger than our soldiers? ”
Ibu asked softly, "What is Turish Khan going to do?" ”
"Ben Khan naturally won't be intimidated by his words." Tu Shi Khan sneered: "If he comes just in time, you were defeated by them last time, Ben Khan wants to see how capable that Chu Huan is." Ben Khan was only afraid that he was a braggart guy and did not dare to come to a decisive battle with Ben Khan. ”
Yibu kindly reminded: "Tushi Khan, Chu Huan is not just good at bragging, thousands of people and horses on Jochi Terrace have been eaten by him, and he has already sent troops!" ”
Tu Shi Khan's brows tightened, and he couldn't think about it: "Didn't you say that the Northwest Army and the Qin State are incompatible, why does the Northwest Army still help the Qin State?" ”
Ibu shook his head and said, "The Northwest Army is not so kind, they must have another purpose." ”
Tushi Khan had calmed down at this time, rolled up the horsewhip, and gently patted his palm, as if he was pondering something, and after a while, the corner of Tushi Khan's mouth showed a smile, and he laughed: "Good opportunity, good opportunity, although the people of the Central Plains are cunning, but Ben Khan has a way to deal with them." He smiled very smugly, and everyone on the side looked at each other, not knowing for a moment what Tushi Khan was thinking.
At this moment, I suddenly heard an earth-shattering shout in the distance, and then there was a cheer from the side, and suddenly Shi Khan was stunned, turned his head, and heard someone shouting loudly: "The gate has been breached, the gate has been breached, the gate has been opened." ”
Tushi Khan's spirits perked up, he looked over from afar, and saw that the gate of the Heavenly Palace, which seemed to be hanging in mid-air, had been opened, and he immediately raised his eyebrows, pulled out his saber, and shouted loudly to the thousands of soldiers who had been reserved: "Warriors, the Heavenly Palace has been opened, all rush in for Ben Khan, and get the reward you deserve!" ”
