Chapter 273 The Tubo Front Army, which has advanced and retreated and lost ground
After being deceived once by Zhang Wu, Dai Ze became suspicious.
Do Wuwei City have the powerful cannons of the Tang Dynasty?
If there is an ambush of King Jianning's army in Wuwei City, then is Hexi a trap set by King Jianning?
If he goes deep alone, will he be ambushed by King Jianning?
A large number of ideas emerged, leaving Dai Ze unable to make a decision for a while.
Neither Zhang Wu nor the other players expected that their original plan to delay the fight for a day would end up making the opponent's general suspicious. In the early morning of the next day, Dai Ze pondered hard all night and still had no idea whether to fight Wuwei or not?
At this time, his commander came to urge him:
"General, our army has only brought seven days of dry food. Please make a decision quickly whether to attack or not to attack!"
Dai Ze suddenly woke up. In order to attack Wuwei City by surprise, he ordered his entire army to carry only seven days' worth of supplies.
It has already taken a day on the road, and the negotiations were delayed for another day yesterday.
The soldiers only carried enough rations for five days.
If you don't attack the city immediately, you won't even be able to attack the city in a few days.
Dai Ze thought for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let Qian Qian go to the camp first to test it out. The army will camp ten miles away. Be careful of the treacherous Tang people's cannon!"
Xue Hu, who had long been prepared and waited on the city wall for the Tibetan army to attack, did not see the Tibetan army encamped in the distance until it was three o'clock in the morning.
"What happened to the Tubo people? Why are they camping so far away from Wuwei?" Zhang Wu asked.
Xue Hu didn't understand either. In order to defend the city, he also made a detailed strategy.
In this era, the camp of the attacking side would be built under the city wall. This tactic called company camp was widely used in almost every city battle.
Camps close to the city can limit the scope of activities of the defenders in the city and cause psychological pressure to the defenders in the city.
The company battalion can also consume the defenders' bows and arrows, and use small groups of troops to defend the army day and night.
However, Tubo camped ten miles away and could not even see the camp from the city wall. What kind of tactic was this?
Then Xue Hu saw another force of a thousand people squeezed out from the Tubo military camp and began to move towards Wuwei City.
What the hell is going on?
According to previous intelligence, Dai Ze had nine thousand elite infantrymen.
Even if the Tubo people did not prepare siege equipment, so many soldiers would press forward, which would put great pressure on the Tang Dynasty.
What's more, Wuwei City still faces the problem of insufficient bows and arrows.
The backbone of the thousand Tubo first camp was formed based on the veterans who had withdrawn from Jinshan Pass. When they heard that the people guarding Wuwei City were the people of King Jianning, they were originally eager to fight, but they were immediately poured out.
cold water.
When the shadow of the battle at Jinshan Pass still hung in their minds, they were still frightened by the terrifying weapon called cannon, which could blast away rocks and destroy military flags thousands of miles away.
Therefore, the group that first arrived at the camp procrastinated and walked cautiously for a long time before arriving at the foot of the city wall.
What conspiracy do these Tubo people have?
Are these thousand men here to test?
Xue Hu took a breath and said: "No matter what, prepare to defend the city according to the plan!"
The archers climbed onto the city wall, hid behind the crenellations, and prepared to shoot arrows.
Sun Duyan was a hunter outside Wuwei City. When he went out to hunt, Sun Duyan was shot in the eye by a captain of the Chishui Army.
After digging out his left eye and lying in bed for another three months, Sun Duyan finally saved his life.
Seeking revenge from Chishui Military Academy Captain? Sun Duyan certainly didn't have the guts. Ordinary people who encountered such disasters could only complain about their bad luck and endure it silently.
However, Sun Duyan is not an ordinary man who takes things easy. After becoming one-eyed, his hunting skills became even more superb.
Relying on his hunting skills, Sun Duyan married his wife and raised two children.
Wuwei City was besieged, and when the Jiedushi government ordered to recruit warriors to defend the city, Sun Duyan was originally unwilling to go.
Fang Zheng knew his ability and recommended him to the Jiedushi government.
I thought that disaster was imminent and that I would be forced into the army, but I didn't expect Brigadier Wu, who was being drafted, to come to Sun Duyan's home, put down a piece of silk, and sincerely invited Sun Duyan to join the unity camp and guard Wuwei City together.
Brigadier Wu said on the spot that anyone who enlisted in the army would receive a piece of silk, and if he died in battle, he would also receive compensation from the Jiedushi government.
After joining the army, not only did he have rice and noodles to eat every day, but he also had meat for three meals.
Sun Duyan's hunting skills are outstanding. Although there are many silks, they are not enough to impress him.
But his mother-in-law's words made Sun Duyan change his mind.
"Lang Jun, if Wuwei City is destroyed, where can we escape in the chaos of war?"
In this case, let's defend the city for the Tang Dynasty.
Sun Duyan was drafted into the army. Brigadier Wu, who was in charge of recruiting soldiers, took his hand. The fiery look in his eyes made Sun Duyan a little confused.
Is there anything good about this guy like Long Yang?
However, Sun Duyan was wrong. Brigadier Wu was not as good as Long Yang. As soon as Sun Duyan entered the military camp, he was promoted to the rank of captain, specializing in training soldiers in archery.
This thin Brigadier Wu actually put on armor and followed Sun Duyan to learn the art of archery, and he learned it more seriously than the others.
Sun Duyan thought for a moment, and realized that what he was doing was based on his own experience, and could not be regarded as the art of archery learned from a master.
Sun Duyan told everything about his hunting experience over the years, and he didn't hide any secrets.
After training yesterday, Captain Wu who recruited him to join the army told Sun Duyan that because of his merits in training soldiers, he had reported it to the Jiedushi Mansion and rewarded his family with two pieces of silk again, which had been delivered to his home.
Lieutenant Wu praised Sun Duyan in public, and awarded him a medal called a medal, and hung the medal around his neck in front of the entire battalion.
Sun Duyan has never read a book, but he has also heard the commentary of "Water Margin" from Longyou. Today is the day when he serves the Tang Dynasty and Wu Brigade Commander!
Pulling out his long bow, Sun Duyan aimed specifically at the Tibetan officer with a peacock feather on his helmet.
An arrow was shot from a long distance, and it hit the Tibetan officer on horseback with one arrow!
The officer fell from his horse, and the surrounding soldiers fell to the ground in fright, shouting: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The arrow pierced the officer's left eye, and there was an incredible look in his right eye.
The officer fell heavily to the ground. A Tibetan soldier lying on the ground was so frightened that he screamed again when he saw the officer's head pierced by a long arrow.
Sun Duyan succeeded in shooting an arrow. He immediately put away his bow and arrow and hid in the shooting crenel.
But the expected Tubo counterattack did not appear. Are these Tibetan soldiers stupid?
When he thought of this, Sun Duyan simply took his bow and arrow and started shooting at the Tibetan officers.
