The second prince of Tubo waved his hand, and the carriage slowly moved forward. It was Feng Chenghai who was tied to the carriage.
The building cart was pushed to the front.
The people on the Taozhou city wall poked their heads out to see, obviously seeing that their general had been captured.
The second prince looked at this scene, and his heart was extremely happy. He could imagine how panicked the Qi people who were guarding the city were at the moment. He was waiting to see the chaos on the city tower, and he would take the opportunity to issue an order to attack the city.
.
After waiting for a long time, the city wall was still silent. Except for the flags rustling in the wind, there seemed to be no defenders on it.
The second prince felt that just as he was feeling strange, another flag was finally raised tremblingly, and it turned out that the word "huai" was written on it.
The second prince was startled at first, and then laughed loudly. It seemed that the champion of Song Dynasty was frightened out of his wits. He had no other choice but to pull out a big flag to try to scare them away.
The coach smiled like this, and the deputy also laughed together.
This is just a civil servant who knows nothing, using some tactics of war he saw in books to fight against each other, and the result is to make people laugh.
Think they are fools?
The King of Yu has already turned into bones, and if he still plays this trick with them, will he raise the flag of the King of Yu soon?
The second prince stopped laughing and his expression turned serious: "We have entered the city gate and will not seal the sword today."
As soon as the second prince finished speaking, hundreds of cavalry rushed toward the gate of Luqu City. The Tibetan soldiers pushed the siege weapons, and everyone fought to win.
The Tubo people were not very good at attacking cities in the past, but in recent years they have built cities, have siege equipment in their hands, and have gained experience in siege. When they know that their side has an absolute advantage, they are even more helpless.
Fearing that the man carrying the long ladder simply ran ahead, there was no need for shield soldiers to block him.
There might not even be anyone on the city wall. They are just doing offensive and defensive drills in their own city. The difference is that after breaking the city, they can kill and loot at will, and they can exchange their heads for military merit.
The cheerful Tubo people had already opened their pockets and were preparing to pack their harvest. So when a bunch of heads appeared on the city wall, they almost didn't react and were still running forward.
"call out."
…
Densely packed arrows suddenly rose into the sky, and then fell like a torrential rain. Only the shield soldiers raised their shields subconsciously, and a few remembered to cover the people behind. The rest stood there almost stupidly.
Screams spread everywhere, and the people running at the front fell to the ground. Those who were preparing to take the lead were instantly pierced by arrows. The attack on the city wall was carried out in an orderly manner, with waves of arrows shooting down.
Give the forward team of several hundred people any chance to breathe. After two or three waves of arrows, when they saw the two flags on the city wall again in the chaos, some people began to turn around in panic and prepare to escape.
Didn't it mean that Taozhou didn't have many defenders? What was left in Taozhou was only one civil servant and several hundred people defending the city?
But why did they feel like they were facing an elite force, no less elite than the armed guards?
The second prince and others standing behind were also stunned, and there was even a brief blank in the second prince's mind.
Something is wrong.
Some people in the vanguard team began to come to their senses and drew their swords to kill the deserters who turned around. It was just a temporary hit. There was no need to panic because they knew the situation in Taozhou very well.
"Push them all to me."
The vanguard was organized again, but soon they suffered a second blow. The defenders on the city wall used slings, and huge stones came with a bang.
There was also a bed crossbow among them. The deputy general who was standing behind to stop the deserters was shot by a crossbow arrow and died on the spot.
Seeing this, the second prince waved his hand again, and the second siege team immediately pressed forward. Under the cover of the shield, the Tubo people finally fired the first batch of crossbow arrows.
However, a tall shield was immediately erected on the city wall to protect the soldiers behind and prevent the soldiers defending the city from being injured.
After the arrow passed, the shield was removed, and the soldiers on the wall pulled the bowstring again.
Although some people fell to the ground in the gap, the losses to Tubo were very few.
The number of casualties among Tubo soldiers is increasing. From the arrogance at the beginning to the disbelief now, the mood has plummeted, and the morale of the soldiers has begun to waver.
"Second Prince," the deputy general whispered, "It doesn't seem right. Did Wang Zeng make a mistake?"
It was impossible for Wang Zeng to play tricks on this. He helped them catch Feng Chenghai and tied him up with them. Then there was only one possibility. The current guard on the city wall was very unusual.
Could it be that they are really members of the Wuwei Army?
Just as the second prince was thinking of this, a general appeared on the city wall.
"Second Prince, that is Nie Shuang."
One of the lieutenants recognized him, and the lieutenant said loudly: "The last general has fought with the last general, and he will never admit his mistake." The stab wound on his face came from Nie Shuang.
The second prince was relieved when he heard this. Wang Zeng told him that Nie Shuang was in Taozhou, but according to Wang Zeng's calculation, Nie Shuang should have come after hearing about the failure of Luqu Pass. After all, Yu
Wang's death was related to the Feng family. Enemies were extremely jealous of each other, so Nie Shuang would avoid the Feng family.
Now that Nie Shuang suddenly came to Luqu, it was just a deviation from what was expected.
"Ignore him," the second prince said, "continue to attack the city. They don't have many people. Even if they are overwhelmed, they will be crushed to death. We can't say that if King Yu is gone, you will still be stopped by a Nie Shuang at the gate, right?"
The second prince's words made the generals around him lower their heads. If they couldn't take this city, they would really be useless trash.
"The general will lead his troops to attack the city."
The generals asked for orders one after another, and the second prince nodded happily. Nie Shuang was not the King of Yu, but he wanted to see how long Nie Shuang could persist.
The war was still going on, and the second prince made up his mind to eat Luqu. On the top of Luqu Castle, Song Guangyan stretched his head to look down from time to time.
The Tubo people tried to attack twice more, resulting in heavy casualties.
When Nie Shuang came down to drink water, Song Guangyan couldn't help but ask: "It seems that the Tubo people will continue to attack the city?"
Nie Shuang raised his head and looked at the sky, showing a sneer: "Then leave them all here." They might have forgotten how powerful the Wuwei Army was, so Nie Shuang would remind them of it again.
While he is here, can he embarrass the Wu Wei Army and the prince?
The second Tubo prince below the city frowned more and more. Too many people had died and too many soldiers and horses had been consumed. This was all unexpected by him. What should he do? Leave now? Impossible.
These are the elites he has raised over the years. If he just captures one of the Feng family members and goes back, it will only bring more jokes to the other brothers. By then, won't he be the same as the trash of the Feng family?
"Take my king's seal, and then mobilize the troops," the second prince said, "I don't believe that a small city cannot be taken down."
…
On the way to Luqu.
Mrs. Bai and Mr. Bai were sitting in the carriage.
Bai said in a low voice: "The fight has started now, right?"
Mrs. Bai nodded.
Bai Shi was even more worried: "Do you think it will..."
Bai did not say anything further, but Mrs. Bai already understood what she meant. Will they be used again? Cha Shuo and others who went out to make bait may not be able to come back. This is the result of making bait. As long as the purpose is achieved, who will
Can you control their life or death?
Isn't that what happened to Tibet back then? Daqi threw her out and discarded her after using her.
But Mrs. Bai thinks it won't happen this time.
Mrs. Bai said: "Luoyang has already gone to find Cha Shuo. I believe...if she can be saved, she will definitely do her best to rescue Cha Shuo and the others."
