Chapter 103 Four Sides Tang Songs
Chapter 103: Four-sided Tang Song
The sound of iron hooves came from the southwest.
Yumen Pass stands between mountains and lakes, and the northeast is the Great Lakes of Guazhou. There is a gap extending from the city of Guan to the west. There has been a battlement in the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties. It is part of the westernmost section of the Great Wall. It is now abandoned. Murong Guiying immediately commanded the troops to step past here and rushed towards Di Yin.
Although he was still a distance from the front, his power was enough to shock Di Yin. He was hesitating whether to retreat or to divide his troops to resist the west. The sound of killing sounds above the city was loud, and the south of the city was also like thunder. Originally, the top of the city was silenced, but in fact, there were more than 6,000 soldiers and horses hidden behind the city wall.
The attack order of the Uighurs was not cancelled yet, and many people had already rushed to Yumen Pass. At this moment, the Tang army suddenly appeared at the gate, holding bows or crossbows, and aimed at the Uighur troops in Ganzhou who were climbing the city of Guancheng and shooting suddenly.
Yumen Pass is part of the ancient Great Wall. Although the Great Wall stretches for thousands of miles, ancient sages have unique designs for each part of the Great Wall. Many settings are extremely accurate and ingenious, and almost every detail has its own truth. The height of the wall, the position of the arrow hole, and the density of the female wall have been rigorously calculated. It is a large fortress that can best utilize the advantages of crossbows to restrain Hu Qi. Although most of the settings of Yumen Pass are abandoned, the basic structure and layout are still there.
Geshuo commanded the peasants and soldiers in the city to carry the red-lit charcoal and ejected it with a light foot-pedal ejection machine. The ejection machine weighs only about five kilograms, composed of ropes, wooden boards, etc., and can be folded and transported. It is very light. This machine can use the principle of leverage to pop up more than ten or twenty kilograms of things. If it is combined with the advantage of being condescending, it can pop up far away. It is an auxiliary defensive equipment that Murong Guiying just brought from the Styx Camp. This type of catapult is a "broadcast" type of equipment, without the intensive penetration power of a powerful crossbow or the powerful impact force of a catapult cart. However, it is placed with tiny oil bombs, cooked coal balls, and so on, and then it flew down. The city wall of Guancheng extends out within thirty steps and immediately spreads in a piece of fire and hail.
“Wow wow wow wow—”
There were screams of screams and screams everywhere at the end of the lock. Some coal chips were smashed on their heads. It would be fine if they had a helmet, but if they slipped into the collar, the entire back would be blistered. If they fell on the hair and burned on the clothes, it would be even more difficult to be considered. If the coal chips were still mixed with oil, the screams of people who were stained would be doubled.
As the coal chips flew, my eyes had to be closed to prevent being burned. Di Yin's main force responded quickly and could resist the shield, but the right wing was a little messed up.
This round of attacks almost happened at the same time as the sound of iron hoofs was heard. The Uighurs were originally in horror at the sudden shock, and were a little more panicked by the fire chips all over the sky.
"Boom", with a loud noise, the city gate of Yumen Pass opened without attack, and teams of armored soldiers lined up! The firecrackers were not the support of defending the city, but just a plate of pretenders to open the road. When Di Yin saw the door open, he secretly shouted: "No, it seems that this is not a bluff, but a real trap!" He felt a sense of retreat in his heart.
The situation on the battlefield was slow and fast. Just when Di Yin had just reacted, he shouted, "Khan, look!"
"What?"
"The Long Family! It's the Long Family! It's the Long Family in Suzhou!"
"What!"
Di Yin was not far from the city gate at this time. When he looked at it, he could hardly believe his eyes!
What appeared in front of me was the Suzhou Army! To be more precise, it was the iron armored infantry regime of the Long family, and it was the only army under the Uighur regime in Ganzhou with Han people as the main body. This infantry strode out of Yumen Pass, not only in line, but also in basically complete organization! Several generals called in command in the formation, with familiar faces - even if Di Yin couldn't call their names, he had some impression of them, and the main general was actually Long Bai! The deputy general was Long Yan!
In an instant, a wave of nameless fire rose from under the belly, burning his brain, and Di Yin was angry! The anger turned into a loud roar: "Dragon Cypress! Dragon Cypress!"
Di Yin did not retreat immediately because of the appearance of the Han army in Suzhou. Guards around him were holding large shields to cover the firecrackers. He and Long Bai were still at a distance where they could talk, but Long Bai glanced at him, but his eyes were no longer as flattering as before, flattering and flattering as before, but instead showed disgust and even fierceness. Once this biting dog changed its owner, it would be like seeing an enemy when he saw the old master.
"Long Bai!" Mou Luogeshan shouted angrily: "Khan is as kind as a mountain to you, but you actually betray Khan!"
Long Bai laughed: "What betrayal! I was originally a Han Chinese, how could I hear the deportation of the tyrants in my life? I plan to fall into the mountains of Ge. Speaking of which, you are also a Han native. The so-called knowledgeable people of the times are heroes! You should also abandon the darkness and turn to the light and cut off Di Yin's head. This battle is your most important task!"
Di Yin glanced at Mu Luogeshan, and he glanced at him. There was suspicion in his eyes. Mu Luogeshan was shocked and shouted quickly: "Khan, I am loyal to you, you must not listen to..."
At this time, Di Yin had no time to finish his explanation and pointed at Long Bai and said angrily: "The rebellious old man who rebels, I swear to tear you apart. When I return to Suzhou, I will destroy your Long family!"
Long Yan spat and said, "We will destroy our entire family. After we arrive in Ganzhou, we will destroy your entire family first!"
I heard a voice at the city gate laughing wildly: "Where are you waiting to go to Ganzhou? I will destroy him here!"
Mou Luoge Mountain exclaimed: "It's an iron beast and stone pull!"
But when the sound of iron hooves in the west was getting closer, the iron armored infantry of the Long family were approaching step by step - they had crossbows on the city walls as cover, and cavalry on the flanks as echoed, so they stepped forward step by step without fear - just because everyone on the Tang army believed that this battle would be won, so no one was afraid of fighting.
"Khan!" Several old men of the Uighur tribes in Ganzhou held the horse's head and shouted: "If you keep the horse breeds, you can reproduce again. This is a trap, let's go!"
"Just want to leave now? It's too late!"
I don’t know who said it, but the city wall in the southeast of Yumenguan suddenly broke more than a dozen holes. It was pre-drawn, but it was not completely cut through. It suddenly collapsed. The crack of the wall hole caused the collapse of the entire city wall, just like opening an even larger city gate.
Teams of cavalry rushed out of this big hole, but they were five thousand cavalry led by Murong Chunhua.
At this point, all the Uighurs had already understood that the Tang army's posture was a complete attack, and it was an attack without defending - otherwise they would not have destroyed the city walls on which they depended for defense!
"Retreat, retreat!" Di Yin shouted.
But at this moment, the back report came to the back: "It's not good! Khan! Behind, behind..."
"There are enemies behind it!"
"What!"
It turned out that Zhang Mai and Murong Guiying and others discussed the siege plan. Murong Guiying thought that several armies were unfamiliar with each other and it was difficult to cooperate effectively and closely, so it was better to use the means of splitting and attacking. The second weakest Suzhou Iron Armored Infantry Army faced the enemy head-on. Murong Guiying believed that Di Yin would not dare to attack head-on. Even if it attacked head-on, the iron Armored Infantry Army could withstand it for a while with the city crossbow as a cover. This was its strength. When other troops surrounded Di Yin, he would have to wait for death.
But Murong Guiying himself led the army to bypass the gap in the west and attack Di Yin's flank. The army had the most troops, but at the same time, one disadvantage was that it was far away and came slowly. However, because the military strength was the strongest, when it arrived, it could almost be regarded as the victory or defeat of the entire battlefield had been decided!
Murong Chunhua led 5,000 cavalry to wait on the left, waiting for the city to see the right time to issue an order, and he immediately broke the wall and rushed out. Murong Chunhua's troops were the regular army of Anxi, one of the combat powers that Zhang Mai trusted the most, and one of the troops that Zhang Mai most hoped to kill Di Yin's head.
The three troops were on both sides, two were fast and one was slow. The three troops kept a certain distance between each other and did not squeeze into one piece. They could also echo each other and showed a half-encirclement momentum to Di Yin. Murong Guiying expected that once these three troops appeared, the Uighurs in Ganzhou would temporarily lose their fighting spirit!
However, even so, it is not enough. The Han people who are backed by Guancheng have always been easy to force their opponents to retreat against the Hu people, and it is not difficult to defeat the enemy, but it is difficult to annihilate the enemy's vitality!
Victory without killing the enemy is not very meaningful, because the nomadic people will come again after they run away. The biggest difference between the Han and Tang dynasties is that the former has had a great annihilation and submission of the Hu people. Even if it pays a huge price, the Han people's endurance is far better than the grassland people, so they can become the final winner, while the latter is always in an eternal tug-of-war. Although its victory rate is high, the disaster will last forever, and the disaster will become more and more serious.
Yang Yi defeated Di Yin's large number of troops in the first and third blockades in the Zebei Grassland, but these people fled at that time. After the battle, they found the big flags of the main unit gathered. Therefore, the two blockades only temporarily hit Di Yin psychologically, but did not cause major military trauma to Di Yin. Instead, Di Yin realized many of Yang Yi's shortcomings in the battle. From this point of view, Di Yin has actually become stronger than Yang Yi. This is not that Di Yin himself beat Yang Yi, but because of the military habits and situation of Han and Hu. If it weren't for the great support, Yang Yi would have no chance of winning in the fourth decisive battle.
This time, the Tang army's troops were far superior to Yang Yi at that time, but if the arrangement was not appropriate, it would still only destroy the enemy, not annihilation of the enemy. Therefore, after discussing with Zhang Mai, Yang Yi, Murong Chunhua and others, the final focus was on how to annihilate the enemy.
At this moment, the sky was filled with dust, and the sound of killing was near or far, which made Di Yin not know how many. Since there were enemies in front, behind, and on the left and right, he didn't even know whether to advance or retreat! In a panic, he only heard a modified Tang song in Guancheng. Did Di Yin still have the heart to distinguish the meaning of the Tang song at this moment? But Mouluo Wule could hear it clearly and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, because he understood that the song was in a different style and sang-
