Chapter 108: Bloodstained Ganzi City (1)
Thick black smoke rose from the bluestone canyon, and Wei Ruozan could only burn it with fire in order to dispose of the corpse of the Tang army as soon as possible, because there were too many dead bodies in the bluestone canyon, and Wei Ruozan had no time to bury them, so the fire was the best way, and it could also prevent the plague. In the raging fire, the Tubo people rushed to the next place, that is, Ganzi, as long as Ganzi is taken, there will be a horse in front of Pingchuan, and the army of the Han people will also become a caged bird.
Wei Ruozan wrapped his mink coat, and the black cloak shrouded him like a huge cloth bag. Qingshi Canyon has achieved impressive results, but Wei Ruozan is not happy at all, because the shock given to him by the Tang army is too great, and none of the soldiers surrendered, and all of them chose to die in battle, especially the Han general, who never fell down when he was dying, kneeling in the direction of the Tang Dynasty. With such an army in the Tang Dynasty, can Tubo really be defeated? Wei Ruozan is a sane person, he knows that the victory in the Qingshi Canyon is completely a game, if someone hadn't informed the Tang army of the movements in advance, even if the Tubo people bypassed Baiyu City, it would not have been possible to appear in the Qingshi Canyon in such a timely manner, so the defeat of the Tang army is sad, Wei Ruozan sighed for the dead Tang army, but what can this be, the war is like this, what is cunning? What is Fairness? What is Shameless? In Wei Ruozan's mind, war is meant to be victorious, and as long as it can be won, then no matter how contemptible the act is, it can be done.
Banner hunting, the majestic wind is still the same, the horse's hooves of the Tubo people stepped to the east, but the resentful spirits of the bluestone canyon can not rest in peace, maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years, they will wander, thinking that they want to return to their hometown.
"The breeze is light, and the mountains are like water. Wow, there will be no return. Hold up the arrows, and the robe is wounded. Wine and toast, brother died. The beauty is looking forward to her hometown! ”
Out of nowhere, there was a burst of singing, which spread far and wide, like the cry of the bluestone canyon, like the sorrow of the living.
"Brother Xian, do you think we can go back to Chang'an alive?" Su Dingfang looked at the dim sky in the west and said a little lonely.
"Who knows, maybe you can't go back, maybe you can return to Chang'an in style!" Fang Yiai smiled, he smiled very lightly and helplessly, he missed the life of Chang'an a little, he missed you, that plum blossom dock, as well as Linglong and Li'er. I don't know if there is snow in Chang'an, but the plum blossom dock in the heavy snow should be very beautiful.
"Hehe, go back in a beautiful way, if you can return to Chang'an, it will definitely be a great contribution!"
"Brother Dingfang, I'm not afraid of your jokes, when I came, I thought about military merits, but I didn't care about anything, I just hoped to survive and die less!" When Fang Yiai said this, he turned his head and glanced at the Zuo Wuwei soldiers who were snuggled together under the city wall to keep warm, and of the four thousand people he brought, there were only more than 1,000 people left, and all the people who were alive were injured. Fang Yiai can't afford to lose, Zuo Wuwei's brothers support him so much, he can't always lead them to death.
The sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the quiet Ganzi was finally broken, and a Tang army scout dismounted and ran over and said urgently, "General Su, the Tubo people have come, and they are now thirty miles away from Ganzi." ”
"How many Tibetans are there, and how many cavalry are there, can they bring siege equipment?"
"General, Tubo has about 50,000 people, except for a few generals who have horses, no cavalry has been found, and according to our observations, Tubo seems to have only some sword-tipped bows and arrows, and no siege equipment!"
Hearing this, Su Dingfang finally breathed a sigh of relief, there was no siege equipment, so the pressure was less, "Well, I've worked hard for you, continue to investigate, and report as soon as there is a situation!" ”
"No!"
"Brother Dingfang, it seems that General Liu Huai'an has encountered an accident, and we are going to face a battle to the death!" Fang Yiai knew that his previous guess had come true, the Tubo people really bypassed Baiyu City, crossed the Jinsha River like a heavenly soldier and a general, and in the face of the sudden appearance of the Tubo army, it was rare for Liu Huai'an to be able to hold on for a day, if it wasn't for his desperate efforts to block the Tubo people in the bluestone canyon, I am afraid that Ganzi has become the bag of Tubo at this moment.
"Hey, Brother Huai'an is a rare good general, so I went like this, and I don't know if Liu Gong can carry it" Su Dingfang frowned and said.
Fang Yiai shook his head, Liu Huai'an went, Liu Hongji can withstand this blow, the most tragic thing in this world is that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person.
The unique "woo" sound of the Tubo people sounded instantly, and Fang Yiai held the three-pointed blade in his hand tightly, it seems that the Tubo people are also in a hurry, and they can't wait to get Ganzi.
"Tie Jin, do you want to avoid it?" Fang Yiai didn't reply, and opened his mouth to say.
"Master, Tie Jin is your slave and will always protect you, so I won't run away" Tie Jin shook his head, he knew that Fang Yi's love was for his good, and he must be facing his former robe. Tie Jin didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, because in Tubo he had always revered the strong, and the warrior had the right to choose his master, but the difference was that he Tie Jin chose a Han man as his master. But what is there about this, his iron deer is an iron deer, and it has nothing to do with Tibet.
Fang Yiai nodded, since Tie Jin is unwilling to do this, anyway, the current Tubo does not have a strict concept of family and country, to put it bluntly, it is just a federation of Goduo tribes, and Tie Jin's choice is not a thing that has been criticized.
"Lord Wei Ruozan, how can there be Han soldiers in Ganzi City? According to Lord Lu Dongzan's secret letter, Ganzi City should be undefended at this time, right? "The person who spoke was about thirty-four or five years old, and he did not have a big beard like the Tubo people, he was very literate, and he lacked the fierce spirit of the Tubo people, but despite this, no one in Tubo dared to underestimate him, because his name was Qiongma, the wise man of the Sibuye clan, and even the great Zampu Songtsen Gampo had to call him uncle.
"Qiongma, who knows, maybe the Han people have already seen through our plan and don't know?" Wei Ruozan felt that there was no point in thinking about these things at this time, since there were defenders in Ganzi City, then it was enough to take it, but it was just a matter of paying a price.
"Wei Ruozan, you can't say that, if the Han people really see through our plan, will they be unprepared?" Jouma frowned and shook his head, he likes to make decisions after figuring things out, knowing that the other side can win a hundred battles.
"Qiongma, do you think we still have time to figure this out, we don't have a choice, since we have come to Ganzi, we must take here as soon as possible, you and I are very clear, we can't afford to delay, once the Han people react, then our situation is not good" Wei Ruozan didn't understand Qiongma's thoughts, but he couldn't help it, Tubo crossed the Jinsha River in order to bypass Baiyucheng this time, and came directly from Shituoling, when he came, he couldn't bring all the baggage, and even the grain and grass were enough for each person to eat for three days. There is no cavalry, because people can get off the rope, but horses can't do it, so this time Tubo is all infantry, and the main generals have horses. Wei Ruozan knew better than anyone that his expeditionary force could only fight quickly, and after a long delay, they had no advantage at all in the face of the Tang army that reacted.
"Hey, it can only be like this, but Wei Ruozan you have to let your subordinates restrain their subordinates, you must not act recklessly, you must be reckless, you have to cheer up, I have a hunch, I'm afraid this small Ganzi City is not so easy to capture" Qiongma took off the cherry helmet on his head and patted his smooth forehead, he also knew that what Wei Ruozan said made sense, but he still had to tell him that it would always be impossible to underestimate the enemy.
"Qiongma, I know, the Han people in the bluestone canyon have shocked me!" Wei Ruozan smiled kindly, he didn't blame Qiongma for being troublesome, because he knew that Qiongma was such a person, and sometimes there were not too many taboos to speak. Strictly speaking, Wei Ruozan is the commander of this army, Qiongma is not qualified to say these words, if these words were put on other people, they would have been angry, you said that you Qiongma is not the boss, why do you always point fingers, as if others are very incompetent, and because of this, Qiongma often offends people. But this time his partner is Wei Ruozan, Wei Ruozan is a wise person, he knows that Qiongma has no other meaning, it is completely for the good of the army, so he does not care about this.
"Zama Renci, this attack mission will be handed over to you, can you capture Ganzi City for me?"
A handsome young man stood up and said loudly, "Lord Wei Ruozan, don't worry, Zama Renci will take Ganzi City for you and kill all the Han barbarians in the city!" ”
Zama Renci was extremely confident, because he once attacked Jiuping Town, where the Han people were so cowardly that some people didn't even dare to resist. In Zama Renci's eyes, the Han people are like lambs, can a weak lamb block the scimitars of his Tibetan warriors?
"Wei Ruozan, isn't it a little inappropriate to let Zama Renci attack Ganzi?" When the others left, Jouma couldn't help but ask.
"Qiongma, I understand your concerns, but you must know that the Lu clan needs a new hero, and the Great Zampu wants to give Zama Renji a chance, and in my opinion, Ganzi is the easiest battle. If I don't give Zama Renci the task of attacking Ganzi, do I want to give him the task of attacking Songzhou, you and I both know that Zama Renci has no ability to capture Songzhou at all! Wei Ruozan let out a hot breath and smiled.
Qiongma nodded in understanding, indeed, the Lu clan needs a new hero, otherwise as a royal family, it would be really too bleak.
Zama Renji's attack can only be described in two words, that is, madness, madness makes you at a loss, and no one will come up to press all the troops, but Zama Renji did it, and did it so thoroughly. An army of 15,000 people, divided into four teams, rushed over from all directions, instantly crumbling the small city of Ganzi.
