Chapter 131: The Battle of Island Seizing (2)

There was no cloud in the night sky. A full moon sailed in the endless blue sky above Qinghai. The lonely land scattered a cold light. A layer of silver white was dyed on the ice, which looked crystal clear. A row of black dots came from afar on the white and bright ice. They were actually a cavalry team of hundreds of people, with extremely fast speeds, and several layers of linen were wrapped on the horse's hooves, allowing them to gallop on the ice.

Nan Jiyun took the lead. He kept looking anxiously at the highlights in the south. It was already four o'clock, and the bonfire on the nameless reef was still burning. At this time, he had seen another highlight in the northeast, which was the Tang army beacon tower on a cliff along the coast. These two beacon towers linked Yinglong City and Shenwei City of Longju Island, and supported each other.

Now that Yinglong City is being attacked, will Shenwei City come to provide assistance as soon as possible? Nan Jiyun is anxious.

After walking for more than ten miles, the fish belly white appeared faintly in the east sky. At this time, less than twenty miles from the northeast shore. At this moment, a soldier shouted straight ahead: "General Nan, look!"

I saw an army ahead coming quickly, getting closer and closer, and the flags of the Tang army could be seen faintly.

Nan Jiyun's heart sank, and what Li Qingan was most worried about still happened.

The army in front was the Tang army of Shenwei Fort. Wang rarely led 4,000 people to help Yinglong City. This was Geshuhan's order. The two castles were supported by each other. One side was attacked, and the other side had to come to rescue. When the beacon in Qinghai was ignited, Wang rarely led his army to help.

"Is General Wang ahead?"

Nan Jiyun shouted and ran forward. Wang Yan held the war horse and said, "I am Wang Yan Yan, what happened?"

"General Wang, General Li of my family ordered me to report that the Tubo people's attack on Longju Island may be fake, and the attack on Shenwei City is real. General Li asks you to return immediately."

Wang Yan was surprised. He turned his head to look at the beacon fire in the south. He also felt a little strange. Why did the beacon fire not extinguished?

Wang rarely realized the seriousness of the problem, and immediately waved his hand and said, "The army quickly returned to Shenwei City!"

The Tang army turned around and headed towards Shenwei City quickly.

A ray of morning glow covered the snowy peaks of Chiling, and the snow-capped peaks reflected a magnificent brilliance. At this moment, the Shenwei Fort under Chiling was shouting and killing sounds shook the sky. Thirty thousand Tubo troops were attacking Shenwei Fort. The hillside was full of corpses, blood clumping into ice, dyeing the entire hillside red, and trenched round by round, smashing the huge rocks to the top of the city.

The sound of "Boom!" came from the city wall, and from time to time, large pieces of wall peeled off. The heavy stones of the Tubo army suppressed the Tang army on the top of the city. Thousands of Tubo army had already rushed to the mountains, and a siege giant tree worth ten feet long was slowly transported up the mountain.

A mile away, Tubo commander Ma Chongying rode on the horse, watching the progress of the battle, and his face slowly showed a smug smile. He successfully transferred the main force of the Tang army in the city to Longju Island with the strategy of attacking the east and the west. How could the 1,000 defenders in the city resist the attack of the 30,000 troops? The Shenwei City of the Tang army was already in his pocket.

"Transfer my order, and the first person to attack the city will reward one hundred slaves and a thousand sheep."

The Tubo army was attacking like a tide, and a huge tree ten feet long began to hit the city gate. The dull loud noise echoed in the valley, the city gate vibrated violently, and a crack was cracked on the wall above the city gate.

Nearly half of the Tang army on the city were killed or injured. A school captain rushed to Yang Jinghui, deputy envoy of the army and horse, shouting: "General Yang, you can no longer defend. If you do not retreat, our entire army will be wiped out."

Yang Jinghui's eyes were about to collapse and bleeding, and he lost Shenwei City. The Tang army's plan to attack Chiling from the north would be completely shattered. How did they explain to General Geshuhan?

"Boom!" Another loud noise shook the sky, and the castle swayed. Yang Jinghui stood unsteadily and fell to the ground. He got up and shouted: "Open the back door and retreat!"

The suspension bridge at the back door slowly lowered, hundreds of horses galloped out of the city, climbing another ridge along a small path, and the Tang army finally gave up Shenwei City.

"Sensation!" The gate of Shenwei City opened, and thousands of Tubo troops rushed in. Ma Chongying laughed. He turned around and ordered: "You can extinguish the beacon fire and attack Longju Island!"

As the beacon gradually faded, the sound of the Tubo army attack drums around Longju Island suddenly sounded, and the black Tubo army came to the island, including spear, sword and shield army, archers, cavalry, infantry, one team after another, wearing chain mail, shouting loudly, and murderous intent.

Behind them were more than a hundred large siege weapons, ladders, and trenchers. These were made by Han craftsmen who were plundered from Longyou. The trenchers walked to the foot of the mountain, and their long arms were squeaking. The general cried and waved his sword and shouted: "The first, second, and third thousand men attacked!"

The first tentative attack of the Tubo army began.

The sound of the skin drums shook the sky, and the three thousand Tubo troops rushed towards the ridge like a tide, but the narrow mountain road made them unable to rush up on a large scale. The huge Tubo military formation turned into a stream, rising from the source.

On the castle, Li Qing'an stared at the extinguished beacon fire in the distance. He sighed secretly. The extinguished beacon fire means that the Shenwei City has fallen, and that Geshuhan's plan to attack Chiling from the north has failed. A bloody battle with Stone Castle City will inevitably be inevitable.

"Qilang, the Tubo army is coming!" Li Fei Shouyu reminded him in a low voice.

Li Qing'an's thoughts turned back to his eyes. He looked at the Tubo army that was attacking arrogantly below and couldn't help but smile coldly. Yinglong City is not Shenwei City, so what if there are 100,000 Tubo army?

"Prepare the catapult!"

On the castle, a hundred catapults turned around and aimed at the mountain road. At this time, the Tubo army had already reached nearly a thousand people. Because the Tang army poured water on the mountain road, a thick layer of ice was formed, which was extremely smooth and had nowhere to climb. The Tubo army's advance was extremely difficult. They crawled and digged the road. After nearly half an hour, they advanced twenty feet.

Chucang was furious and shouted: "Bang the drum for me!"

The rumbling drums of attack sounded again, urging the soldiers to advance. At this moment, a strange sound came from the air. The Tubo soldiers on the hillside looked up and saw a black rock hitting the top of their heads. They were scared to death and turned around and fled. The mountain road was in chaos, and many people were squeezed down the mountain road. "Bang!" A huge rock as big as a millstone hit the mountain road, smashing more than a dozen Tubos into meat patties, sticking to flesh and blood corpses, rolling towards the dense Tubo army. Suddenly screams were heard everywhere, and a large area of ​​Tubo army was smashed by the huge rock, with heavy casualties.

Immediately afterwards, the second and third huge rocks hit one after another. They swept across everything and destroyed everything. In the first round, only twenty catapults showed their power, and there was no more surviving on the mountain road. Thousands of Tubo soldiers died tragically under the Tang army's Stonehenge.

The drums stopped, the Tubo army was as quiet as death, the Tang army's fierce defense made everyone feel heartbroken, and everyone's eyes turned to the head coach's crying, and one man was in a way that was in a way that was in a way that was in danger, how many points could they win?

The silence of Chizang. He was an experienced veteran. He saw that the Tang army was fully prepared. He could not take the castle with manpower. Suddenly, he ordered loudly: "Cattagger comes forward, bombard the enemy fort, and prepare for the ladder!"

This is his only way.

Nearly 10,000 Tubo soldiers pushed hundreds of catapults forward. The Tubo army did not have the technology to build heavy catapults. Their catapults were all medium-sized, with arms two meters long and stones placed in the back pocket. Dozens of soldiers pulled short arm ropes in front, using the principle of leverage to bounce the long and high up, and shot out the stones. The maximum range of the trencher of the Tubo army was five to six hundred steps, and a catapult required forty people to shoot.

Four hundred steps away, the Tubo trencher began to show its power. The overwhelming huge rocks rose into the sky and roared towards the castle. However, the Tang army's castle was covered with thick ice, which was as solid as a gold slump. The huge rocks hit the ice wall, only white marks were smashed. The huge rocks hit the city wall with a huge momentum, but there was no practical effect.

But strangely, the Tang army did not fight back. Although the Tubo army's catapult car was within the range of the Tang army's catapult plane, they remained silent, as if waiting for something?

Several Tubo generals felt a little strange. They walked up to Lu Qizang and whispered: "General, the Tang army is very strange. There will definitely be a situation. We must be careful."

After crying, he pondered for a moment, and said, "No matter what happens, we have to fight, but we have to fight, otherwise how can we explain to the coach, pass on my orders, beat the drums and urge the battle, and use cloud ladders to attack the cliff!"

The Tubo Army's skin drums were beaten again, and the loud drum sound of "dong!dong!" was aroused people's hearts. Thousands of Tubo Army rushed towards the cliff overwhelmingly, with dozens of cloud ladders mixed in between them. The cloud ladders of the Tubo Army were also learned from the Tang army. "Taking big wood as a bed, six wheels were placed under it". The main ladder was fixed on the base. Several secondary ladders could be stretched and retracted at arbitrarily according to the height, up to tens of feet. Although it was not enough to directly board the cliff, it could rush up to the hillside. From here, it was much wider.

The Tubo army rushed in like a tide, but the Tang army remained silent. Thirty ladders had gradually approached the cliff, followed by thousands of soldiers next to each ladder.

Li Qing'an stood on the city wall and looked at the Tubo army like ant colony rushing towards him. He waved his hand to Li Fei Shouyu and said, "It's time to start!"

The Tubo army under the cliff suddenly discovered that there was a strange phenomenon in the Tang army castle. The castle was covered with white mist, and a strange roar came from the castle, as if a dragon moan. This sound penetrated people's hearts and made every Tubo soldier feel a strange feeling, as if something was about to happen.

Suddenly, someone pointed at the castle and shouted, and saw an extremely large green long body rising from the castle, occupying the entire castle, covered with golden scales. As the two horns floated out, a huge dragon head appeared. Its eyes were shining with golden light, white smoke was spraying out from its mouth, and its huge body was swinging left and right.

The Tubo army's attack stopped, and everyone stared at the blue dragon blankly.

"Qinghai Dragon King!"

Someone shouted, the Tubo army was unstable and began to retreat, and everyone's eyes showed horror.

The cried in tears and was extremely shocked. Although he felt that the appearance of the blue dragon from the Tang army castle was a bit incredible, the blue dragon actually floated in mid-air, which made him have to believe it a little.

Qinglong whispered again, with anger in his humming.

"General, what should I do?" a Tubo officer asked in a low voice: "Are we going to attack?"

Lu Qizang looked at Qinglong suspiciously. Seeing that he seemed to have signs of sinking, he said, "Wait and see!"

In the castle, more than one hundred large pots of hot water boiled, and boiling steam filled the castle. Hundreds of soldiers lay on the top of the city. They pulled the slender ropes and controlled the dragon's body in the air, constantly swinging. Under the dragon's hind claws, a giant basket was hung, and a large pot was built in the basket. The fire was blazing in the pot, and a large amount of hot air was poured in from the tail of the dragon. The two soldiers in the hanging blue kept pouring tinder into the pot. The heat made the dragon's body expand and float slightly higher in the city. From a distance, it looked like a giant dragon hovering in the clouds in the air, with its teeth and claws, which was extremely realistic.

This is the most primitive dragon-shaped hot air balloon, sewn by more than 20 female nurses in Tang army's summer single shirts. It cannot fly high, and the height it can fly is just two feet higher than leaving the city. After several trials by the Tang army, it can be almost certain.

At this time, Li Fei Yuanli waved his hand again, and hundreds of Tang soldiers holding iron megaphones roared in unison again, making a humming sound similar to a dragon.

"Qilang, hurry up, the tinea oil is going to be used up!" Li Fei Yuanli whispered.

Li Qingan stared at the Tubo army. Seeing that they had almost entered the ambush circle, he lit an iron rocket and slowly aimed at a black pond under the cliff.

"Flash!" With his order, he heard a giant dragon roaring angryly. The dragon's mouth opened wide, and two balls of burning fireballs flew out from under the dragon's head, throwing them high towards the enemy, as if they were spraying out from the dragon's mouth. Just as everyone's eyes were focused on the fireball, Li Qing'an's rocket shot out. The rocket seemed to have dropped Mars from the fireball in the air, and accurately shot into the black pond. It was a basin of pre-placed tin. As the tincture oil was ignited, a line of fire rushed towards the Tubo army, frightening the Tubo army to dodge to both sides. At this moment, the gunpowder bags and firecrackers buried under the gravel exploded violently, one after another, exploded at the foot of the Tubo army. Suddenly, black smoke rolled and red flames burst out, causing the Tubo army to fly with blood and flesh, screams and cries.

"Earth Fire Thunder! Qinghai Dragon King's Earth Fire Thunder!"

The fear of the gods made the Tubo army lose their souls. They turned around and ran wildly, crowded, trampled on people, and people trampled on each other, as if the tide was retreating to the sea. They ran to Qinghai desperately, and even cried and couldn't help but kneel down and kowtowed to apologize to the gods.

At this time, countless fireballs on the city flew out, and were thrown out with burning gunpowder bags in the middle, exploding above the Tubo army's head, flames soaring, and the explosion was earth-shaking, and the earth-fire turned into thunder. The Tubo army shouted wildly and completely collapsed.

Hundreds of ladders and catapults were ignited one after another, and fire spread across the island, and countless Tubo troops were killed and killed. In this battle, the Tubo troops suffered nearly 5,000 casualties. The more than 100,000 stones of food and countless supplies brought by the long-term besieging the Tang army were lost on the island.
