After several years of reinforcement, Wuhai City is now considered an extremely strong city. However, due to the alliance between Tibet and the suddenly rebellious Turks, in order to protect the hinterland and avoid being surrounded, the original defenders could only be ordered to evacuate.
It was such a strong city that the Tibetan soldiers captured it effortlessly.
Fortunately, in order to seize the four towns of Anxi before the Turks, Tubo mobilized most of its troops to the Western Region, leaving only three thousand old and weak people to guard the city. As a result, Wang Fangyi arrived here and used a arrogant strategy to attract the main force in the city.
When fighting out of the city, an ambush wiped out most of their main force. The Tibetan soldiers in the city had no choice but to leave the city and surrender. Wang Fangyi easily captured this important military location.
After that, the Tubo army commander Qu Mangbuzhi, who was responsible for attacking the four towns of Anxi, was shocked when he heard the news. He immediately concentrated the troops of the four towns of Anxi to attack Wuhai City. However, he did not expect that his vanguard force of 3,000 people had not yet reached the city.
They were ambushed by the Tang army, and five thousand people fled in all directions, greatly reducing the morale of the Tubo army.
After hearing the news, Qu Mangbuzhi was so angry that his face turned green. He immediately roared and led his 50,000 troops to advance at high speed, arrived at the foot of Wuhai City, and then attacked the city bravely, ordering that Wuhai City must be captured within three days.
.
However, Qu Mang Bu Zhi did not expect that although he offered a heavy reward, strictly ordered the soldiers to attack the city, and personally went into battle to supervise the battle, Wuhai City was still not captured within the time limit. This was mainly because the Tang army's resistance was too strong.
If they are strong, they can definitely be said to be armed to the teeth. Even if they die, they will have to pull a backrest before dying. If they don't have weapons, they will pinch with their hands, kick with their feet, and bite with their teeth. The injuries are really too serious.
They even jumped off the city wall with each other in their arms, dying together with the enemy.
Three days of brutal offensive and defensive battles caused more than 3,000 casualties to Tubo. The Tang army also paid the price of more than 1,000 casualties. The entire city was stained with blood, but the Tang army still had complete control.
Covering the entire city.
Such a result made Qu Mangbuzhi furious, so he ordered the army to launch a fierce attack again. However, at this time, the soldiers were too tired, and with too many previous injuries, morale dropped significantly. After three days of bloody battles, they lost
Nearly four thousand people, but only caused hundreds of casualties to the Tang army!
Under such circumstances, although Qumang Buzhi was unwilling to accept it, he had no choice but to order a postponement of the attack, and then sent out surprise troops to break the city.
So Qu Mangbuzhi resorted to digging tunnels, but he didn't expect that the tunnels were only half dug before they were discovered. When his soldiers dug to a certain section of the road, they suddenly realized that it was Tang Jun who had already dug a tunnel.
A horizontal ditch was dug, and many soldiers were sent to wait there. As a result, the Tibetan soldiers who were digging the tunnel were dragged out one by one by the Tang army with hooks and other objects and killed on the spot.
After that, Qumang Buji built a mountain in an attempt to observe the Tang army's enemy situation. As a result, the Tang army immediately built a higher tower and then shot arrows from the tower. Instead, they took advantage of the geographical advantage and had a panoramic view of the Tubo army's situation.
When Qu Mang Bu Zhi's plan failed, he tried another one, so he ordered the city to be set on fire, but the Tang army soldiers used long poles tied with scratching hooks to draw away the fire igniters. The Tubo soldiers worked in vain for a long time, but were covered in thick smoke.
They are as dark as the Kunlun slaves, although their skin is not white in the first place.
"It's hateful. The Tang Man on the other side is so powerful. He is familiar with every means of attacking the city and can easily break it. This, this is really hateful." Qu Mangbu was so angry that he cursed repeatedly, but he
There is simply no way.
Not long after, something even more aggrieved happened to Qumang Buzhi. Late one night, Tang Army general Wang Fangyi led his troops to rob his camp without any warning. After a charge, he killed a thousand of his men.
Fortunately, the army camp arrived in time, so that all the food and grass would not be burned. Otherwise, no matter how powerful he was, he would have no choice but to retreat obediently.
After that, Qu Mangbuzhi had no choice but to order the army to defend Wuhai City to the death. Although they continued to attack Wuhai City, the number of people attacking the city was only limited to about 10,000 people. Although the fighting continued, this attack on Wuhai City was
The threat was nothing at all, which also meant that Qu Mangbuzhi was forced to change his tactics. He wanted to completely trap the Tang army in Wuhai City through siege. I believe that as long as a few months pass, the Tang army's food and grass will be unable to support it.
When the morale of the army is weakened, our side can take advantage of the opportunity to win.
Qu Mang Bu Zhi's move was not a solution, but it was the best solution, because after that, Wang Fangyi really had nothing to do to him, and could only continue the confrontation inside and outside the city.
The grain and grass consumption in Wuhai City is decreasing day by day, but the grain and grass of Qumang Buzhi can be obtained from the four towns of Anxi and the northwestern region of Tubo, which leads to the growing gap between the two sides.
Finally, after half a year of confrontation, the Tang army could no longer bear this kind of consumption. Late one night, several skinny Tang soldiers came outside the camp gate of Qumangbuzhi, saying that they wanted to see the Tibetan general and had secret military information.
report.
Qu Mang Buzhi was overjoyed when he heard the news. He also guessed that the food and grass in the city of the Tang Army must have been unable to support them, so these Tang soldiers wanted to surrender to him, so he immediately ordered the soldiers of the Tang Army to come in.
After a while, he saw three scrawny soldiers of the Tang Army coming to the tent. Qu Mangbuzhi saw that they were swaying even as they walked. They were obviously very hungry, so he asked, "I wonder if this gentleman is here to help me?"
What lessons did you learn in the camp?"
I saw the sergeant in the middle struggling to come to the front, bowing hard and saluting, and then said in a hoarse and weak voice: "General Qi, this villain is the rank and file of Zuo Si, the left guard of the Tang Dynasty. I serve as the left guard of the Tang Dynasty."
General Zhang Qianxu ordered me to come and pay homage to the general."
"Oh? I wonder what the important thing is for General Zhang to meet with me?" Qu Mangbuzhi vaguely thought of a possibility and couldn't help but feel excited. However, on the surface, he remained calm and asked calmly.
I heard the **** took something out of his sleeve and said to Qu Mangbuzhi: "To be honest with you, general, I have been without food and grass in Wuhai City for several days. The morale of the army is unstable. General Zhang cannot bear to starve to death for his soldiers.
Therefore, I have sent my last general to pay a visit to the general and deliver a letter of surrender, agreeing to dedicate the city at three o'clock tomorrow night. As long as the general is willing to give him a bite to eat, my brothers and I will sacrifice our lives for Tibet from now on."
"Hmph, you're lying! You're clearly pretending to surrender. Could it be that you're deceiving me and I don't know what to do? Come here, pull this guy down and behead him. Let me see who else will try to deceive him again?"
Qu Mang Bu Zhi shouted loudly, and immediately ordered his men to push him out and behead him. (To be continued.)
