570. Chapter 570 Shazhou relief
The 300,000 Tubo army outside Shazhou City stretched endlessly, with flags waving like a rainbow. A man sat upright on a divine white horse in front of the three armies. This man wore a three-petal crown without a brim, covered with silver armor and leather boots. His young face was full of determination, and he was powerless without anger on his waist. This man was the new generation of Tubo Zamp - Weisong!
The two behind Weisong looked at their outfits and knew that they were both literary and military. They had a black soap harp hat on their heads. The one wearing a green robe was the right Gonglun Shangbi, and the thin man wearing a murderous armor was Tuoba Huaiguang!
As the breeze blew, Weisong stared at the Shazhou City in the distance and couldn't help but say coldly: "Huiguang, can you take this Shazhou City in three days?"
"Don't worry, you will definitely take Shazhou in the end of three days!" Tuoba Huaiguang said confidently.
Weisong snorted coldly when he heard this: "I don't want to hear these useless things! You promised me so faithfully a month ago, but what's the result! If it weren't for killing the general in front of the formation that would hurt morale, I would have killed you long ago!"
When Weisong thought of wandering outside Shazhou City for a month, he felt very angry. He still failed to break through the barrier of Hexi for more than a year. This was a great shame for him. What a glory it was for his ancestors to rush to Chang'an when he was so arrogant that he could not conquer even a small Hexi. How could he, who was always ambitious, swallow this breath!
Tuoba Huaiguang hurriedly turned over and dismounted to apologize to Weisong, and Shang Bi Maid beside him persuaded him, "Your Majesty, please calm down, and you cannot blame General Tuoba for this matter. The king should know that Hexi is no longer the past. Although the famous Hexi general Zhang Yichao is dead, his nephew Zhang Huaishen is not inferior at all. He also has the help of the wolf to defend the city. It is extremely difficult to capture it even if it is solid and solid..."
Having said this, seeing that Wei Song's anger disappeared a lot, Shang Bibi continued: "Our army has taken over Hexi Jiuzhou in one year. Although it has not met the king's expectations, it has not made any progress! Now this Shazhou is the last barrier in Hexi. Zhang Huaishen and Tshulangs will definitely swear to defend the city to the death. Therefore, it is understandable that General Tuoba did not take over Shazhou in more than a month!"
"What Lord Gonglun said is very true. The Tang army will only hide in the city and not fight with our army. The last general is the same..."
"Enough! I will give you three days to take Shazhou City. If it is overdue, you can come and see you!" Weisong could hear these refutations, and now he just wants to take Shazhou City as soon as possible.
"The last general obeys the order!" Tuoba Huaiguang hurriedly took the order, and then led the siege army to attack Shazhou City.
When Tuoba Huaiguang led his troops away, Shang Bi said solemnly: "Are the king worried about Chen Hao?"
Shang Bi's words made Wei Song's pupils shrink, and then he said coldly: "This person has taken Nanzhao, and he probably has arrived in Wei Zang at this moment. I wonder if Shang Siluo and Lun are afraid that heat can withstand the Tang army..."
"The king doesn't need to worry. According to the spy, Chen Hao only had 60,000 troops this time. On the vast plain of Weizang, Chen Hao even used his troops like a god, and he was not the opponent of my Tubo Iron Cavalry!"
"This person cannot be treated rationally, otherwise we will always suffer losses! You must know that if the Tang army really breaks through our defense line, they will lead their troops northwest to the capital city. By then, it will really confirm a common saying from the Han people: stealing chickens will not lead to losing rice!"
Weisong's expression was very solemn. He had never looked down on Chen Hao, the enemy, and he still remembered the incident in the capital back then. Because he was constrained by Chen Hao three times in Chang'an, and since then he discovered that he had encountered an unpredictable opponent.
After hearing Wei Song's story, Shang Bi Maid nodded and said solemnly: "Even if our army cannot resist the defense, as long as our army captures the last barrier to enter the capital, Chen Hao will definitely lead the army back to the capital to protect the troops. At that time, our army will wait for the effort and annihilate this Tang army on the way. The Tang court can be broken and the country can be settled!"
Wei Song, who had been frowning, looked at Shang Bima with a side face and showed a smile: "This is exactly what I mean!"
...
On the Shazhou city tower, Zhang Huaishen pressed the sword with his right hand, and looked at the boundless Tubo army under the city with a serious expression. Several scabbed wounds were left on his weathered face. The sky to the west made the afterglow of the sunset reflect the red light in the sky, as if it was dyed with a layer of blood. He stood coldly, but he was worried in his heart, because he didn't know how long this Shazhou could last...
At this time, the wolf Slaughter slowly walked up to the city, without talking to Zhang Huaishen, and put his hands on the chassis as calm as before. After a while, the wolf Slaughter looked down at the enemy outside the city and whispered: "What are you thinking?"
It seemed that the two had long been used to this way of conversation. Zhang Huaishen did not turn his head, but a trace of bitterness appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I wonder how long can this Shazhou City be maintained... Brother, where are you?"
Tu Lang sighed softly: "Tu is thinking that my elder brother should have entered the territory of Tubo at this moment!"
Zhang Huaishen frowned slightly, then shook his head and said, "According to the spy, Tubo has already dispatched 150,000 troops on the border of Wei and Tibet. The purpose is to stop him. It is so difficult to break through the defense line..."
"Do you doubt it?" At this moment, Tshuang's expression became a little moved, and he turned his face to stare at Zhang Huaishen's side.
"I don't doubt that it's only a matter of time before we break through the defense with Changfeng's strength. However, it's unknown whether this Shazhou City can defend until that moment!" Zhang Huaishen said this, looking around the disabled soldiers guarding the city, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Tshu Lang also glanced at the exhausted soldiers, his expression was also gloomy, but then his expression was extremely firm: "I believe him!"
Just as the two were talking, the Tubo army under the city rushed towards Shazhou City like a tide. Then the two of them stopped talking and ordered the soldiers to prepare to roll wood and stones, pass oil bows and crossbows... A battle to defend the city finally began.
The Tubo army's offensive this time is extremely strong. Tuoba Huaiguang personally took the lead and would definitely capture Shazhou City within three days, because he knew that if he could not complete it, the only thing waiting for him was death.
A tug-of-war began, and the Tubo army's offensive was rapid, and the soldiers guarding the city also fought back with tough measures. From time to time, Tubo soldiers climbed the city tower on the ladder, but were finally killed by the soldiers guarding the city who were deemed dead. Corpse fell constantly under the city, including both Tang army soldiers and Tubo soldiers. On the ruined city walls, dark blood was everywhere embellished with the fierceness of the war.
...
"Report!" Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, a discordant voice was remembered in front of Weisong's journey.
The soldier in front of him was a spy in the army. Seeing this, Weisong looked down and looked at the soldier: "Say!"
"Report to the king, Wei Zang's defeat and the entire army were wiped out, Zuo Gonglun and the general were also dead in the chaos. At this time, the Tang army was lying towards our country!"
"What! The whole army was wiped out!"
When Weisong heard the news, he felt a black look in front of him and almost fell off the horse. He thought that Chen Hao might break through the defense line, but he did not expect that the 150,000 elite troops would be wiped out, which was really beyond his imagination.
Shang Bi Mai on the side was also surprised and asked the military spy in an unbelievable tone: "This is impossible. How can our iron cavalry cross the grassland be compared with the Tang army infantry? Besides, our army is far more than the Tang army, so how can the entire army be wiped out? You are talking nonsense and disrupting the morale of the army. Come on! Take it down and behead it for public display!"
"The young one is definitely not talking nonsense. The reason why the entire army was wiped out was because the Tang army had a powerful weapon in hand, and the throwing army formation was shaking the sky and the earth, which caused countless casualties and injuries to our army... so that the corpse was buried thirty miles away in the Weizang land!" The military spy did not expect that the disaster would come out of his mouth, so he explained in a hurry as if he was shaking like a sieve.
"It's really sarcastic, how could this be..."
"It must be a thunderclap..." Weisong, who had recovered, said in a deep voice with a lonely expression: "I have heard that Chen Hao had used such a weapon when he recaptured the three towns of Heshuo! I didn't expect it to be true..."
hiss!
"Then order Tuoba Huaiguang to stop siege and the entire army quickly withdraw from Hexi!" Weisong, who reacted, hurriedly ordered to prepare for retreat.
Shang Bi naturally understood Weisong's intention of this move. Now Chen Hao has broken through the defense line, and all the 150,000 troops have been destroyed. At this moment, he is like entering a state of no one. Besides, with the so-called thunder in his hand, if he does not return to help in time, the capital will be difficult to protect. At present, Shazhou City will be difficult to conquer for a while, and the only option is to retreat.
Tuoba Huaiguang, who was struggling to attack the city in front of him, did not expect Weisong to issue an order to withdraw his troops. However, when he learned that the Tang army had broken through the defense line and directly took the capital, he also looked solemn, and then he obeyed the order to withdraw his troops and retreat quickly. This retreat like a retreat shocked the soldiers in Shazhou City.
"It actually retreated? What tricks does this Tubo Weisong want to play?"
Zhang Huaishen couldn't help feeling a little confused when he looked at the enemy troops who were retreating quickly. The wolf-slayer slowly put the bloody sword back into the scabbard, looking coldly at the Tubo army formation and without saying anything.
As time went by, the rear army of Tubo turned into front army, and the front army became rear army. With the sound of thick horns, the army quickly fled to the distance.
"this……"
Zhang Huaishen looked at the evacuated Tubo army in shock, but Tulang showed a smile on his face: "Brother succeeds! You should be on the way to Luoshecheng at this moment!"
"What!? You mean..."
"Report! The general has a secret letter. I hope the two generals will follow the instructions!" Just when Zhang Huaishen could not suppress his ecstasy, a military spy climbed up to the city tower to report.
Chapter completed!
