Seven days passed in a flash, and the day of departure has come.
Outside Lanzhou City, 200000 troops and horses gather, but their momentum is much greater than that in front of Chang'an city. Among the troops and iron horses, 50000 Turkic cavalry are particularly prominent.
"Datang is really strong!" the leader of Dangxiang who came to watch the ceremony said in horror. Datang already had the advantage of soldiers and armor. With the help of Turkic cavalry, wouldn't it be like adding wings to the tiger.
"Tuyuhun is not weak. Fuyun sounded the Golden Horn and summoned 300000 Tuyuhun warriors. They may not lose!" some leaders of Dangxiang tribe disagreed.
"It's arrogant of the Tang people to ask us to observe the three Tuguhun fortresses. The three Tuguhun fortresses were built by Yang Guang and later won by Fu Yun. They took more than ten years to build. They are easy to defend and difficult to attack. They must be broken and bleeding by the Tang people." a leader close to Tuoba tribe sneered in local language.
Li Jing looked at the whispering leader of Dangxiang tribe and turned to the direction of the fire monitor. He couldn't help showing a confident smile. This time, he was sure to eat Tuyuhun three fort.
Everyone knows that the key to which side these wall grasses lean is the strength of Datang in attacking the third fort of Tuyuhun.
"Let's go!" Li Jing shouted with a wave of her long sword.
Immediately, 200000 troops rushed out to the third fort of Tuyuhun.
Tuyuhun three fort is about 200 miles away from the junction of Datang and Tuyuhun and Lanzhou. The army starts from the morning. When the sun tilts to the west, the vanguard cavalry of Datang military has reached the border of Tuyuhun three fort.
Tuyuhun three fortresses have no specific name. In order to distinguish the three fortresses, Datang calls them Tuyuhun, guhun and Tuyuhun, and the one closest to Datang is Tuyuhun.
At the moment, Tu fort is already facing the great enemy and ready. It is even heard that the Tang Dynasty is going to use Tuyuhun's three forts to intimidate all the departments of the party. Fu Yun even sent his famous general Wang murongding to lead 20000 cavalry to help. Thinking of occupying the favorable momentum, Tang army must break its head and bleed blood.
"Famous King! Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, should we send cavalry to kill for a while, so that the Tang people can see the power of my soldiers and soldiers."
On the wall of Tubao, a fierce follower around the famous King was eager to try. He led Tuyuhun soldiers to rob Datang many times. He had never encountered great resistance and despised the Tang army.
The famous Wang murongding shook his head and said, "when the Tang army came at the beginning, the morale is booming. We can't underestimate the enemy. We'll sit in a strong city and spend some of the Tang army's energy before making plans. In addition, if we want to attack, we have to wait until the dead of night."
"Wang Yingming!" he said with a smile.
They Tuyuhun are cavalry. They can come and go freely under the cover of night. If they use this method, they will certainly be able to harass the Tang army.
"General, it's late now. What if we don't camp for the time being and attack the third fort of Tuyuhun tomorrow?" head hule looked at the dangerous terrain and said to Li Jing with worry.
Other party leaders also looked at TU Fort one after another with gloating eyes. Anyone can guess that if Datang wants to conquer Tu fort, he must pay a heavy price.
If Datang suffers too much, I'm afraid it's not a demonstration, but a joke.
How can Li Jing not know the thoughts of these party leaders? He laughed and said, "your distinguished guests have come all the way. How can you let you camp in the wild? Is that the way of hospitality in the Tang Dynasty? Come, attack Tu fort for me and free up the king's account named Wang Murong for your guests."
"Attack now!"
Suddenly, all party leaders looked at Li Jing inconceivably.
"Dong Dong Dong!"
When the drums sounded in the army, a group of soldiers stepped out, assumed an offensive posture and strode forward to Tubao.
The famous King Murong Ding looked at the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who strode forward. He was very angry and said with a smile: "old thief Li Jing deceived people too much. He underestimated me."
The Tang army dared to attack as soon as it arrived. It was obviously intended to attack Tuyuhun at one stroke. How could such a contempt not make the famous Wang Murong angry.
"The whole army is on alert. We must let Li Jing taste our power today." the famous Wang murongding roared.
"Woo!"
In the Tubao, the horn sounded, and a large number of Turkic soldiers boarded the Tubao city wall and began to be ready.
"Rush!"
The former army was Duan Zhixuan's Zuo Qianniu guard. With an order, a large number of Tang troops dressed in heavy armor rushed towards Tubao.
On his horse, Merton saw such a grand war scene for the first time. He couldn't help sweating his nervous palms and staring at the indomitable Tang Army soldiers.
"Worship Lord, do you think Murong will block the gate?" Li Daliang said nervously in front of Merton.
Merton wiped the sweat from his palm secretly, pretending to be calm and said, "whether it's blocked or not, you have to try once."
Merton spoke with ease. His eyes kept staring at Xue Rengui among the charging soldiers.
Four hundred steps!
Three hundred steps!
Two hundred steps! "
"Jingle!"
Duan Zhixuan took a long gun and pushed away the bow and arrow of a Turkic archer. It was obvious that he had stepped into the range of Tuyuhun archers here.
"Crossbow and arrow fight back!" Duan Zhixuan shouted. Suddenly, thousands of divine arm crossbows were launched and shot at Tubao.
"Beware of crossbows and arrows." Murong Ding suddenly grabbed a huge shield and shouted.
In fact, needless to say, the overwhelming number of crossbows and arrows had already made all Tuyuhun soldiers heartbroken.
The arrow rain floated over the city wall of Tuyuhun castle, and there was a scream. Some Tuyuhun soldiers did not escape by relying on the leather shield in their hands. Powerful crossbows and arrows directly penetrated the leather shield and shot into the unprepared chest of Tuyuhun soldiers.
"There is such power beyond 200 steps!" Murong Ding, the famous King, looked at the crossbow and arrow deeply embedded in the refined iron shield in his hand and said with lingering fear.
Before the famous Wang murongding reacted, a group of crossbows and arrows shot at Tuyuhun's soldiers. They couldn't hold their heads up.
"Rush!" seeing this opportunity, Xue Rengui suddenly drank, took more than a dozen hundred horses, raised a huge shield and rushed to the gate of Tubao.
city gate!
Murong Ding suddenly changed his face when he saw the attack direction of the Tang army. He suddenly felt bad. In order to attack the Tang army at night, he didn't seal the city gate. He shouted: "shoot this Tang army for me."
In an instant, many Tuyuhun soldiers braved the arrow rain of the divine arm crossbow and shot at Xue Rengui and his party.
"Don't worry, this is a special steel shield made by the wine worship Lord. Ordinary bows and arrows can't shoot through at all, so they rush with all their strength." Xue Rengui snapped with his teeth.
Immediately, under the leadership of Xue Rengui, a group of hundreds of riders rushed to the city gate.
"Give me all the strength to suppress the Tuyuhun archers, and be sure to buy time for the firearm supervisor." Duan Zhixuan shouted, pulling his bow and fighting back at Tubao.
The distance of two hundred steps was fast. In a twinkling of an eye, Xue Rengui and others had rushed to the gate of Tubao.
"With so many people, I want to break through the city gate." in the Tang army, the leader of all parties looked at the more than ten people in the firearms prison, and the lone army killed Tubao.
However, to their astonishment, the ten soldiers just stopped at the bottom of Tubao, turned around and ran back crazily with their shields on their backs.
Not only the leader of Dangxiang is incredible, but also the famous Wang murongding and Tuyuhun soldiers on the city wall. However, in their invisible sight, several barrels of gunpowder have been accumulated at the gate of the city, and a lead is burning rapidly.
"Tang army retreated!" a Tuyuhun soldier couldn't help cheering.
However, the cheers did not fall, and a loud noise hundreds and thousands of times louder than the sound drowned it.
"Boom!"
With a loud noise, the whole hamburger shook three times.
"What's the matter?" the famous Wang murongding shouted in surprise
When the smoke of gunpowder dispersed, the originally closed Tubao gate had been blown to pieces, revealing the empty city gate.
"The city is broken!" the famous Wang Murong was stunned. The news was even more shocking than the loud noise just now. The three Fort Tuyuhun, which he was proud of, broke after less than a round in the hands of the Tang army.
"It's broken!" Duan Zhixuan was shocked. Although he had expected this scene for a long time, when he saw the Tubao city gate open, he waved his hand.
"Rush for me! Don't let the boys of the firearm supervisor take the lead." Duan Zhixuan roared. When he became the first soldier, he took the lead in rushing towards Tubao.
The first one to rush into the enemy city is the merit of climbing first, which is enough to raise an ordinary soldier three levels in a row. Who doesn't want such merit.
However, what they did not expect was that the people in the firearms prison did not fight back at all, but formed an array in situ to protect themselves.
"Captain, why don't we climb first." a hundred cavalry soldier had a sharp arrow in his arm, but he was still unwilling to look at the gate of Tuyuhun city.
Other hundred cavalry officers and men couldn't help looking to the side in the direction of the city gate. They were closest to the direction of the city gate. If they fought back with all their strength, they would certainly be the first to rush into Tubao. However, there was a loud cry of killing in Tubao. It was obvious that the merit of first climbing had already been handed over to others.
Xue Rengui picked up a clean cloth rope, tied the injured arm tightly, stopped the bleeding and said, "this is the order of the wine worship Lord. We have few firearms supervisors, and each one is precious. Besides, we have the ability to break the city, not to climb first."
A hundred cavalry officers and men were relieved. They were holding the sharp weapon of gunpowder bomb. Do they still have no credit?
Xue Rengui saw the wounded hundred cavalry soldiers and was ready to break their arrows. He quickly dissuaded them and said, "the war will end soon. Keep the bow and arrow and let the doctor manage it for you!"
Xue Rengui was right. When the Tang army rushed into Tubao, under the sharp armor of the Tang army, the resistance of Tuyuhun soldiers soon collapsed and began to flee in large numbers.
When the sun fell into the west mountain and the earth fell into darkness, the cry of Tubao gradually subsided.
"Tell the general that Tubao has been captured, the famous Wang murongding has fled to the valley castle, and general Duan is pursuing." a soldier came to report with blood all over his body.
"OK!" Li Jing laughed loudly, walked up to a group of party leaders who were as numb as a chicken and said proudly, "ladies and gentlemen! The king's account of the famous King has been cleaned for you. Please go and have a rest."
A group of party leaders suddenly became cold all over. They could not imagine that Tubao, which looked like a natural moat to them, was taken by the Tang Dynasty. The once famous Wang murongding escaped like a lost dog.
In particular, with that earth shaking noise, the city gate was broken in tubaoton. Such a weapon like a God is in the hands of Datang. Who else is Datang's opponent in the world.
Suddenly, the people couldn't help looking at leader hule. Leader hule was also full of bitterness. This time, it seemed that Dangxiang had bet twice, but after today, I'm afraid we can only go close to Datang.
People couldn't help but sympathize with Tuoba tribe. This time, Tuoba tribe completely stood in the wrong team. Dead friends didn't die. They were secretly glad to think of this place.
A leader of the people's party Xiang asked about gunpowder weapons several times, but he was fooled by Li Jing Gu. He walked into the Tubao city gate in a hurry, but found that all the city bricks had been painted with water and looked new except that the city gate was missing.
The leader of all the parties couldn't help laughing bitterly. It seems that Datang is heavily guarded against this weapon. Everyone is not surprised. If they had this weapon, they would be more cautious than Datang.
In the Tubao, a group of party leaders lived in a beautiful king's tent. When the lantern was lit, a group of party leaders were not happy at all. Today, Tang Jun shocked them too much. Such powerful Tang Jun kept them awake at night.
Sleepless night!
The next morning, a group of party leaders with two big dark circles followed the army again and came to the valley castle.
The valley castle is one size smaller than Tubao, and the terrain is more dangerous. However, such a dangerous terrain can no longer give Murong a sense of security.
Murong Ding looked at the slowly pressing Tang army with bloodshot eyes. The grievances that ran away recklessly yesterday Suddenly surged into his heart. If Gu Bao's subordinates hadn't come to pick him up, he might not be able to escape the pursuit of Tang army. Rao was so. His subordinates lost half of their losses.
"Famous King, the city gate has been sealed." I reported carefully.
Murong nodded, hammered his hate on the wall and said in a harsh voice, "Li Jing, I see how you can break my Valley Castle this time."
"Be careful, general!" the follower suddenly exclaimed.
Dozens of huge items suddenly flew from the Tang army camp towards the valley castle.
Catapult!
Murong Ding's eyes shrunk. The catapult was a sharp weapon for attacking the city. Naturally, he knew that Tang Jun had moved here.
"Don't worry, just a stone catapult can't break the wall of my Valley castle!" Murong Ding said confidently. However, he didn't find that there were some inconspicuous black objects among the huge stones.
"Dong!" the huge stone hit the tall city wall. The unlucky Tuyuhun soldiers were hit at both ends of their heads by the stone.
Murong Ding was not relieved. Yu Guang swept a dark object and landed not far from him.
"Boom, boom!"
With a flash of fire, a series of explosions rang out at the head of the whole Gubao city.
After the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, the surviving Tuyuhun soldiers found the seriously injured king from the ruins.
Murong Ding watched gunpowder bombs explode on the city wall, and Tuyuhun warriors skilled in bows and horses were like pieces of paper with thunderous weapons. They had no power to fight back. He suddenly realized: "abandon the city, abandon the city immediately. We Tuyuhun are warriors on the grassland. We should have dominated the grassland, but we want to learn from the Han people to guard the city and learn to walk in Handan!"
When the Tang army boarded the valley Castle easily under a fierce attack, the valley castle had been sent to Makong. Not only that, but also Hun castle. In less than a day and a night, all three Tuguhun forts fell into the hands of the Tang army.
