Deyang City is small and well-prepared, and it is not enough to rush the cavalry of Xiao Wei's troops. The battle ended almost at the beginning. As Xiao Wei led his troops into the city, the fate of the fall of Deyang was destined.
Hundreds of garrison soldiers did not even have the courage to resist, and fled back home in disguise. In less than a quarter of an hour, the entire Deyang City had fallen into Xiao Wei's hands, the county magistrate,
As soon as the county magistrate and other city officials escaped, Xiao Wei felt a little excited because the situation in Deyang was too far from Xiao Wei's previous prediction.
Xiao Wei had never been to Deyang City, but when formulating the combat plan, he had indeed asked the official spies who had visited this city. At least he had some understanding of the situation in this city. However, after seeing Deyang City with his own eyes,
Xiao Wei was depressed to find that Deyang City had become such a virtuous character. Not to mention the 50,000 troops stationed, even the 15,000 troops that Xiao Wei had originally expected were difficult to accommodate. Such a pity
It is really difficult to withstand the strong attack of the 180,000 Tubo army. Obviously, the original combat plan is no longer feasible. If you want to hold it for ten days, you must adjust the original plan, but what should you do?
The adjustment made Xiao Wei very arduous.
Although Deyang is located on the Chengdu Plain, it is already on the northeast edge. It is not completely flat. The northwest is Longmen Mountain, which is the only place for the Tubo army to enter the Chengdu Plain. The south is Longquan Mountain, which belongs to the northern part of Chengdu.
If the barrier can occupy this mountain, there will be no worries that cannot stop the Tubo army. Unfortunately, there are thousands of Jiannan troops stationed on Longquan Mountain, which are easy to defend but difficult to attack. Xiao Wei does not have the time to attack this mountain. Besides,
That direction is not the only way for the Tubo army to go to Jinjiang. Even if Xiao Wei occupied Longquan Mountain, he did not dare to guarantee that the Tubo army would stop at the foot of the mountain and fight to the death with his side. He could not guarantee that he could complete the task of blocking the Tubo army for ten days.
As for the north, it is Mianzhou. The only place where the army can hide its troops is the hills in the southeast about ten miles away from the city. This is where Xiao Wei originally planned to be ambushed.
According to Xiao Wei's original combat plan, the purpose of defending the city was not to defend the enemy, but to exhaust the enemy's strategy, and to maximize the consumption of the enemy's vitality based on the advantages of the city wall, so as to ambush the ambush in the southeast hilly area in advance for one's own side.
The attack creates favorable fighter jets, attacking inside and outside, and breaking the enemy under the city. Although this plan is good, there is a prerequisite, that is, you must be able to defend Deyang City. Otherwise, the division of troops will only lead to death.
It is obvious that Deyang City does not have the conditions to defend itself in such a situation. It is too difficult to use this city to drag down the Tubo army. Xiao Wei was very sure of it.
Indeed, the 180,000 Tubo troops rushed to attack Deyang City, but it was not difficult to attack in turn. If you want to defend this city, the troops of the defenders in the city should not be too weak, although Xiao Wei had not seen the Tubo army yet.
What is the strength of the Tubo army? However, the Tubo army can compete with the strong army in the Western Regions without falling behind, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Tubo army is not low. Furthermore, the Tubo army is not like the Turks, which has only cavalry but infantry system.
In fact, the combat effectiveness of the heavy infantry in Tubo is not inferior to that of the official army. Because of this, Xiao Wei did not dare to take it lightly. He originally planned to stay in Deyang City with 15,000 troops to ensure that he could defend the city.
But at the moment, the situation in Deyang City is the limit to being able to station 8,000 troops. This is because Tubo will inevitably use heavy weapons such as catapults during the siege. If the density of the army is too high, it will not be able to deal with it at all.
It will cause casualties in vain, which will hurt one's morale. It is obvious that it is too difficult to defend the city with such a small number of troops. Even though Xiao Wei has already calculated the trick to defend the city.
But I still feel that I am not very sure.
Headache, headache! Since rushing to inspect the city, Xiao Wei entered the county government office and pondered his head at the hasty sand table, trying to find a safe way to deal with it, but he thought for a long time
, but I couldn't find a good way, my head couldn't help but hurt. This kind of predicament may not be able to defend, and the dilemma of not being able to defend it made Xiao Wei feel a little overwhelmed. Fortunately, the Tubo army is still far away.
Outside Longmen Mountain, there is still a few days left, and there is still plenty of time. Xiao Wei is not in a hurry to make the final decision.
"Your Highness."
Just as Xiao Wei was thinking hard, Yan Yunxiang came in from the outside of the lobby excitedly, bowed and called out with a slightly excited tone.
"Hmm?" Xiao Wei raised his head, looked at Yan Yunxiang, and said without any comment.
"Report to Your Highness, a large amount of grain, fodder and baggage were found in the granary in the west of the city, with more than 800 stones of rice, and countless other fodder and soybeans. According to the instructions of the captured soldiers, this batch of grain and fodder was for use by the Tubo army."
Xiao Wei seemed to be worried, and Yan Yunxiang did not dare to neglect and hurried to report the report.
"Oh?" Xiao Wei was happy at first when he heard that so much food, fodder and supplies had been seized, but he quickly calmed down because Xiao Wei had learned about the combat habits of the Tubo army - the Tubo army was always different from the Central Plains.
Its army is mainly composed of soldiers from various tribes. Once the army moves, all tribes follow. Often, the combat army is in front, and the tribes are driven by cattle, sheep and other animals, followed closely, and hundreds of thousands of times.
, he did not rely on the food and fodder transportation in the rear, nor would he be in danger of food being cut off because the granary in Deyang fell into the hands of the government troops. Although there were many seizures this time, it helped solve the key to defending the city, which was really difficult to excite Xiao Wei.
"Your Highness, as your order, I have posted an announcement to evacuate the people of the city, but the county magistrate Zhang refused to leave, saying that he had something important to report to Your Highness. I dare not make any decision, please let Your Highness make clear." Yan
Seeing that Xiao Wei was not concerned about seizing a large amount of supplies, Yun Xiang was naturally much more excited, but he didn't dare to ask too much, but just respectfully told the second matter.
This time the city was a bloody battle, and Xiao Wei didn't dare to ensure that Deyang City could be defended at all. He did not want the people in the city to suffer. Besides, this time, this time the city was not suitable for the help of the people and the people. Therefore,
As soon as Xiao Wei took over Deyang City, he had ordered the entire city to evacuate. Even the captured officers and soldiers and the officials in the city did not intend to detain them. He just confiscated the armored soldiers and allowed them to leave the city.
"Prince Zhang? It's okay that he's coming in." Xiao Wei had no impression of the county lieutenant named Zhang. At this time, he heard that this person insisted on seeing him, and he was quite strange. After frowning and thinking about it, he thought about it.
, decided to meet each other, so he waved his hand and gave a calm command.
"Yes, I will obey the order."
After Xiao Wei had issued the order, Yan Yunxiang quickly responded and left the lobby. After a while, he accompanied the famous middle-aged man over 40 to come in from the atrium.
"The sinner Zhang Quan'e meets His Highness the King of Yan." When the middle-aged man saw Xiao Wei standing in the lobby, he rushed forward without waiting for Yan Yunxiang to introduce him. He gave a big gift to him.
"I'm fine, what's wrong with the County Magistrate Zhang who wants to see me?" Xiao Wei was in a state of mind at this moment, and was impatient and talked too much. He raised his hand and signaled Zhang Quane to avoid the gift. He asked in a straightforward manner, with a plain tone.
And a little indifferent.
"When the guilty people heard that His Highness wanted to stay in the lonely city and resist foreign invaders, they did not dare to hide their own personal interests. They came to offer suggestions, and perhaps they could help him." Zhang Quane did not lose his elegance because of Xiao Wei's coldness and answered neither arrogant nor humblely.
road.
"Oh? Well, I'll ask the county magistrate Zhang to give advice. If it can be beneficial to the city guard, I will reward you very much." Xiao Wei didn't believe in his heart that Zhang Quane could come up with any tricks, which shows that this person is full of confidence.
He became curious, and then smiled, compared the "please" gesture, indicating that Zhang Quane had something to say.
"Your Highness clearly understands that the sinners have lived here for generations. Since the beginning of Deyang during the Shunping period, the ancestors of the sinners have settled in this city. It has been eight generations since then. The family is still rich, and I don't know which generation of ancestors it was.
To avoid stealing, set up a secret path at home, which leads to Xixi, three miles outside the city. If you can use it well, it may be effective." Zhang Quane bowed his body and said smoothly.
"Authentic? Xixi?" Xiao Wei's eyes lit up when he heard this. He quickly calculated the terrain around Deyang, and quickly determined that the Xixi area was the inevitable choice for the Tubo army to set up camp.
It is naturally a great thing to attack the Tubo camp through the tunnel unexpectedly. However, I had never seen the situation of the tunnel with my own eyes, and Xiao Wei did not dare to make a conclusion. Then he sank a little and said, "Can you please Zhang County Wei?
Take me to see this secret path?"
"Your Highness, the family of sinners is nearby. If Your Highness does not abandon you, please follow the sinners." Zhang Quane was originally planning to obtain a contribution with this secret way. At this moment, he saw Xiao Wei's intention to move, so how could he do that?
Disagreeing, he quickly responded, led Xiao Wei and others out of the county government and headed straight to the nearby Zhang family...[
There are many mountains in the world that are named Longmen as the mountain, including Henan, Shanxi and other places. However, the reputation is not as good as Longmen Mountain in Shu, not only because of the beautiful scenery of Longmen Mountain in Shu, but also the Jiufeng Mountain in it is the Tao Buddha.
The scenic spot, and therefore, the hundreds of miles of mountains have been the boundary between the Han and the Yi since ancient times. The east of the mountain is the Han and the west of the mountain is the Wu. As early as the Qin and Han dynasties, such a pattern was formed, the Dayin Dynasty established the country.
At first, the combat power was strong, and a large army was sent to pacify the barbarians across this mountain. It was a severe attack on the Qiang people who had just emerged, forcing the Qiang people to retreat to the plateau. Later, it mixed with the Tubo ethnic groups, forming the Tubo dynasty today.
After Shunping's "Rebellion", the national strength declined. Jiannan ruled against Chuanzhong and managed Qinghai in the center. Then he gradually retreated to Songzhou, using Songzhou as the boundary to block Tubo's southward advance. However, there were business travelers and travelers on both sides.
It is the ancient road in Longmen Mountain. The road is difficult and difficult to walk. This time, the Tubo army headed south and walked along the ancient road in the mountains.
On April 14, 18th year of Hongxuan, a chaotic sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded at the entrance of Longmen Mountain, breaking the silence of the mountains and forests. Immediately, a cavalry team with a population of about 300 people appeared.
At the far end of the mountain road, the equipment and armor of the man and the style of the armor did not show that the cavalry team was very different from the Central Plains. It was obvious that this cavalry team was the Tubo vanguard who came to the rescue of Jiannan.
The mountain road is winding and difficult to walk on, but it does not seem to have much impact on the Tubo cavalry. This small team of cavalry rode their horses like flying on the mountain road, showing extremely superb riding skills. From time to time, there are cavalry on the horse's back.
It is not surprising that even though the Tubo cavalry has become accustomed to the hard life on the plateau, the mountain road that has been walking for nearly ten days is the same
I was so stuffy that I saw that this difficult journey was finally over, so I couldn't help but smile. Besides, this is the back of Jiannan, and it's still far from the Jinjiang front line.
, I am very worried about it, so although this group of vanguard cavalry teams are responsible for pioneering the road, they do not care too much, and do not investigate the surrounding environment at all, but just run forward routinely.
Military affairs have never been careless. Any violation will be punished. No one has ever been allowed since ancient times. This group of vanguard teams are no exception. The change happened when this cavalry team rushed out of the mountain pass.
But when the cavalry came to their senses, a dense array of feather arrows shot towards them like locusts. The more than ten cavalry companies were in the first place.
I didn't know that, so I was shot into a hedgehog with my man and horse.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The frightened Tubo cavalry immediately became a little confused. They all hurriedly turned their horses and retreated back to the mountain pass in surprise. Only then did they find that there was a distance of only more than fifty steps outside the mountain pass.
The cavalry team was only more than three hundred people, and the armor was actually the Dayin official army.
"Get out and kill them all!"
This team of Tubo cavalry can be sent out to be the vanguard of the army, so they are naturally veterans of war for many years. Many people have fought with the Dayin official army. Knowing that there are very few cavalry within the Dayin organization, they are not very good at all.
The Dayin official army took it seriously. At this moment, the number of cavalry in this small team of officials and soldiers was only about the same as that of our own. Although we did not understand how this small team of Dayin official army appeared here, the leader of the Tubo family in charge was led by the team.
However, he did not take this small team of official cavalry seriously. In addition to sending a man to report to the vanguard, he led his subordinates to launch a fierce charge, intending to avenge the previous one who suffered a secret loss!
"Aowu, aowu..."
The Tubo cavalry were all fierce. When they heard that the hundred households issued an order to attack, they did not dare to neglect them. They pulled out the scimitars from their waists, and roared and launched a powerful charge.
"kill!"
This cavalry team of the official army was the guards of the royal palace led by Xiao Wei. In addition to testing the combat power of the Tubo army, it is more important that Xiao Wei intends to lure the enemy to Deyang. At this time, he saw the Tubo vanguard.
The team launched a charge, and Xiao Wei would not show weakness. He shouted, and waved the spear in his hand and fought forward with one horse. Yan Yunxiang and other guards rode their horses closely behind.
In that room, two small cavalry teams kicked off the Battle of Deyang at the Longmen Pass.
Fifty steps are just a short distance. For the two cavalry troops facing each other, they did not wait for the highest cavalry speed to reach the highest, and the two conveniences were already facing each other. Xiao Wei, who was rushing in the front, was responsible for his own debt.
The opponent's head of the hundred-household family was picked up. When the two horses intersected, Xiao Wei shouted "Kill!" The spear in his hand was stunning, and directly pointed at the chest of the hundred-household family.
.
"Ahhh..."
The head of Tubo Baihu was a tall, red-faced man. He was known as a brave man in the army. At this time, he saw Xiao Weijian coming very quickly, and was immediately surprised, but he was not willing to be outdone. He shouted and raised his mouth.
The scimitar in his hand aimed at the stinging rod that was coming, and he tried to hang the spear aside, and then used the force to wipe off Xiao Wei's head with the force of the horse.
The calculations of the hundreds of households in Tubo are not bad, and the reaction is very fast. It is not unreasonable to provoke a knife. The force attached to the knife is also huge. Unfortunately, he met Xiao Wei, who was extremely powerful.
Master, this is destined that all his efforts are just a joke.
"Clang!"
The long sword of Tubo households accurately hit Xiao Wei's snatching the pole, and a loud bang broke out. Unfortunately, this sword did not open Xiao Wei's snatching as he had expected, but instead he was in his hands.
The knife was numbed by the huge force attached to the gun. Not only that, one of his arms was numb. His burly body was shaking, and even his horse's back was sitting firmly. He was shocked,
It was a big deal, and he hurriedly bowed, trying to avoid Xiao Wei's fatal shot. Unfortunately, it was too late. I heard a dull "puff" sound, and Xiao Wei's spear tip had already stabbed into the
The head of the hundred-householder's chest, after one pick, the head of the hundred-householder was picked into the air and fell into the tragic army.
