Chapter 883 The magic height is one foot, the road is one foot high
After receiving the task, Hu Mi didn't take it seriously... It's really not a problem for five hundred people to guard the east gate.
Even if there are rebels in the city, how many might there be?
Standing on the top of the city, they can easily shoot and kill the rebels, and then a shock...the battle is achieved.
But he never expected that his opponent turned out to be a Tibetan.
This is a raid that has been planned for a long time.
The Shule people at the head of the city are drawing their bows and setting arrows.
"Shoot the arrow!"
The crossbows of the Tang army showed their power, and a burst of crossbow arrows shot and killed most of the Shule people at the top of the city.
But the Tubo cavalry outside the city had rushed in.
Hu Mi shouted: "Archers, block the city gate."
"Shoot the arrow!"
The arrow flew over, and the Tubo cavalry who had just rushed in were shot down with their horses and men.
"Pikeman!"
But the distance between the two sides is too close, and the enemy cavalry only needs one impact to break the formation.
Both sides held torches, and in the light of the fire, the faces of those Tibetans could be seen.
"Get in!"
The general is urging his subordinates.
The Tubo people went crazy, and rushed towards the spear without hesitation.
The war horse was stabbed, and the Tibetans on horseback flew over.
They waved their long knives with open teeth and claws.
"kill!"
Hu Mi hacked one to death with a knife, and the surrounding Tang army greeted these uninvited guests with spears, turning the enemy army into meat skewers.
But the Tubo people continued to attack bravely. Amid the cracking of the spears, the first row of spearmen was completely wiped out.
The spearmen in the second row bravely went up.
War horses can't accelerate too fast, but they can charge into battle with their weight alone.
This time the Tang army was much better. The narrow streets restricted the mobility of the enemy cavalry, but at the same time it brought tremendous pressure to the Tang army.
"Withdraw! Retreat while fighting!"
Hu Mi's face turned livid, knowing that he had to make this decision.
Because the Tubo people have come up from the city.
The cavalry attack below, and the archers cover above, how can he fight?
"Withdraw!"
Tang Jun shot down the enemy cavalry with a shower of arrows, and then began to retreat.
The enemy general rode in and boarded the top of the city. Looking at the Tang army who was fighting and retreating, he squinted his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "The archers are slow to go to the top of the wall, otherwise our army will be able to defeat them before the Tang army retreats." .”
The general beside him bowed his head, "Yes. But Tang's army is only a few hundred, so they can't stop us."
The enemy general nodded, "Shandewu sent people to say that the Shule people in the city were willing to respond internally. How would Jia Pingan respond? He sent almost 3,000 people, and the city included his 300 cavalry, but there were only a thousand people. Our army four But if he dares to fight with the whole army, the Shule people in the city will give him a fatal blow from behind."
The general smiled and said: "This general is irritating. Even the prime minister thinks that this person should not be underestimated. He died here today, and it is a well-deserved death."
The enemy general suddenly sternly said: "Let them continue to charge and kill without stopping. Who dares to slack off... Military law!"
"yes!"
…
Jia Ping'an has heard the cry of killing.
Yiqi Fei also came.
"Mr. Jia, the Shule people opened the east gate, and thousands of Tubo people swarmed in..."
Shen Qiu took a deep breath, "It turned out to be from Tubo."
Jia Ping'an didn't expect that the Tubo people would suddenly appear here, what about Han Zong? Why didn't he contain the enemy?
"This is a long-planned action."
By this moment, most of the enemy's plans have been revealed.
"They first raided the villages outside the city and lured the main force of our army out of the city. Then the Shule people and Tubo people in the city joined forces and prepared to surround and kill us in the city."
Jia Pingan shook his head, "He is a cunning opponent."
…
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Sandou was laughing wildly.
Mande said happily: "The army has entered the city, and Jia Ping'an is doomed."
He squinted at Abmang, and said lightly: "Abumang, what do you think of my waiting methods?"
Abumang took a deep breath, joy welled up in his heart, "Excellent, amazing."
He looked at Shan Dewu, feeling a little apprehensive in his heart.
This person is like a poisonous snake, planning all this in secret...
"Jia Ping'an is known as a killer. These years of fighting have always been unfavorable, but today he met his opponent."
Shan Dewu panted with a smile, and there was a little more pride between his brows, "Jia Ping'an must have come here to clean up those restless people in Shule, and by the way, wanted to destroy our intention of joining forces. He used tactics on the battlefield to deal with us. , seems to be easy to use, but he doesn't know my ability to plan."
Man De praised: "Shandewu is highly valued by the prime minister because of his plan."
Abmang's eyes were burning, "Then what are you waiting for? Send out the army in the city?"
Mande said: "Jia Ping'an still has 800 people in his hands. This is his last resort. There are more than 5,000 troops in the city... This is not a battlefield, but a narrow street. No one can use it. It's a competition." It is the will."
"Tell them that once they succeed, King Shule and those dignitaries who are loyal to the Tang Dynasty will belong to them, and Tubo will not take any of it. In addition, those noble women will become camp prostitutes, let them enjoy it, and finally..."
Shan Dewu's eyes turned, showing contempt and confidence, "What do these people want after rebellion? Money and beauty, so I will give them. Tell them, after breaking the city, we don't care about anything...let them do things in the city. "
"Money, beauty, and the tyrannical temptation to wash the city..." Abmang squinted at Shan Dewu, thinking that it would be better for this person to die.
Sandev looked at him with a smile, "You want to kill me?"
Just as Abmang was about to deny it, Shan Dewu chuckled and said, "There's no need for that. Over the years, countless people have tried to kill me. The prime minister's opponent, the enemy's secret spies... I found out two of Tang's secret spies. , and then tortured to death... so you don't have to hide your thoughts, and I won't be offended..."
In the candlelight, Shan Dewu's eyes looked strange, "For me, the more people who want to kill me, the better I am."
The person's confidence is offended.
Abmang was speechless.
"Send them out."
Sandew sent people to pass the message.
Abmang said excitedly: "Once Jia Ping'an's 800 people are dispatched, it will be a decisive battle."
Shan Dewu looked at him, and said lightly: "My methods are more than what you think, Jia Pingan... Maybe I am not as good as him in fighting in battle, but he is far inferior to me in the methods of secret espionage..."
…
The Shule army in the city is very strange.
The battle at the city gate was obviously fierce, but Jia Pingan didn't use them, and they were even more eerie silent.
The city is not big, and the 5,000 troops can only hide in a corner, and the food and drink are very smelly. So half of the army is stationed outside the city on weekdays.
But after the last rebellion, the army in the city was strengthened.
The gate of the barracks opened.
A general drew his sword and raised his head and shouted, "Let us be the Lord of Shule tonight!"
Pointing forward with the long knife, the general's eyes were full of blood red, trembling with excitement, "Kill all the Tang people! Kill Jia Ping'an!"
"Kill all Tang people, kill Jia Pingan!"
Cheers echoed throughout the city.
Hu Mi, who was leading the army to intercept the enemy's army, changed his face, and looked back at the fire in the northwest corner, "The Shule people betrayed Datang!"
They are about to be attacked!
The rebel army rushed up the main road in mighty force, and then headed for the east gate.
The order required them to flank the Tang army with the Tubo people, and then take the Tubo people into the city.
"Quicker!"
The rebels ran wildly.
The houses on both sides were completely silent, and even the dog was lying at the feet of the owner, not daring to bark at all.
"What's that up ahead?"
Someone saw that something was wrong ahead, "Why does it look like a city wall?"
The rebels in front ran over.
approaching...
He saw the tall Tang Jun standing there silently, holding Mo Dao in their hands, covered in armor, even with visors, like demons.
"yes…"
He wanted to scream, but the knife flashed and cut off the rest of his words.
"It's Tang Jun!"
Five hundred Tang troops stood on the long street, and Hu Mi's five hundred Tang troops were farther away.
Two Tang armies blocked the way for the rebels and the Tibetans to join forces.
"kill!"
The rebel general yelled wildly, "The Tubo people said that the property of King Shule and those dignitaries belong to us, and those women belong to us. They don't take anything, and they can loot in the city afterwards..."
The eyeballs of those rebels were all red.
"kill!"
They swarmed and rushed up.
Li Jingye raised his knife.
The Mo Dao hands around him raised their swords.
The rebels rushed over confidently...
5,000 people vs. 500 people, ten times the difference, the Tang army can be crushed to death with a sea of people.
Then they saw the knife light.
The light of the knife pierced the long night, and blood flowed into rivers on the long street.
…
"Do it! Do it!"
Hu Lanqi rushed into the room excitedly, and Chanhara, who was drinking, was taken aback.
"Where did you do it?"
He put down his wine glass, and the beauties around him quickly filled it up.
Hu Lanqi sat down and panted, "The Tubo people entered the city through the east gate. The Tang army only has 500 people, and they will definitely not be able to stop them."
Changhala was overjoyed, raised his glass and drank heavily, then put his arms around the beauty and said comfortably: "After tonight, we will all be heroes of Shule's restoration of the country."
"It's time for the 5,000 people to act." Hu Lanqi looked a little gloomy, "But Shandewu refused to give up the command to me... Be careful of them, lest they turn their faces."
"They don't dare to turn against us. Don't forget that Datang will be ashamed and angry, and then he will send out a large army to attack. If the Tubo people dare to turn against us, then they will be alone here. Hahahaha!"
Laughing wildly, Chanhara jerked and scoffed, the beauty's clothes were torn from the middle, and a large white cloth came into view.
He threw the beauty down, and soon, the sound of gasping echoed in the room.
This is his way of celebrating, Hu Lanqi turned a blind eye and just drank.
"The five thousand people in the city were dispatched. They went to the east gate, preparing to flank the Tang army and welcome the Tubo people into the city."
"ah!"
Chanhara snorted, then got up panting, and said excitedly; "Move, move! Kill Tang Jun and bring Jia Pingan over like a dog. I want him to kneel beside me forward…"
He got down on the ground again excitedly.
Hu Lanqi went outside, looking at the flames soaring into the sky, he couldn't help crying.
"How many years, since Guo Xiaoke attacked the Western Regions, we have been looking forward to this day, this day... It finally came, God, you have not failed us after all!"
He knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.
Inside, the panting sound became more and more urgent...
…
"Mr. Jia, the Shule people have betrayed us. Those five thousand people have been dispatched and are moving towards the east gate."
Baiqi brought the latest news.
Shen Qiu got up, his eyes were cold, "You sit here, and we will take the brothers to meet you."
"sit down!"
Jia Pingan shook his head, "Jingye is waiting for them there."
"But he only has five hundred people." Shen Qiu was puzzled, "There are five thousand rebels, how can they stop the enemy in the narrow streets?"
"I said... yes!"
Jia Pingan raised his teacup, his eyes calm.
The woman shrank behind him, desperate at this moment.
Five thousand rebels, the Tibetans are rushing into the city...
"Is this about to fail?"
The woman screamed.
Jia Ping'an was indifferent.
"Send out the cavalry."
Shen Qiu Jianyan said: "Three hundred cavalry can disperse those rebels, at least they can stabilize them."
Jia Pingan shook his head, "Not yet."
“Then when is the time?”
Shen Qiu was a little annoyed.
This time, Jia Pingan specifically asked the emperor to bring him over, and he followed Jia Pingan and others all the way. After arriving in Shule, he led his men to hide in the dark, constantly looking for traces of Shule's rebellion...
But Baiqi is just a secret spy, not an army, otherwise he would rather lead the army to charge and kill now, even if he dies there, he can have a clear conscience.
…
"Shoot the arrow!"
Hu Mi was shouting.
The arrow flew over, and the Tubo people who were charging fell down, but they continued to attack bravely.
The enemy general stood on the top of the city and watched the fighting below coldly, like a **** overlooking the world.
"Our army's will to fight is invincible." The enemy general said calmly: "The streets here are narrow, and our army keeps rushing forward. The Tang army can only delay our army by retreating step by step. The proud array will disappear, and once the two sides form a melee..."
He beat the palm of his hand with his fist, and his eyes were sharp, "Tang Jun will be defeated!"
Hu Mi is also well aware of this...
"We have few people, so we can't fight with them. If there is a danger of melee, we will retreat."
This is his response, and it is also the response that the enemy general can guess.
Tang Jun retreated step by step, and every time he retreated, the corpses of Tubo people piled up in front of him.
…
A Tang army was stabbed by two long spears, and two rebels cheered and picked him up...
A Mo knife passed by his side, and the two rebels fell.
The sergeant fell to the ground, with two spears still stuck in his lower abdomen and chest.
Li Jingye is at the forefront.
The rebels kept trying to fight the Tang army, and they managed to break in this time.
The rebel general excitedly waved his fist, "Rush in, they will be defeated."
Li Jingye at the front has been overwhelmed by the crowd.
Those rebels swarmed towards the center, with swords and spears...
Someone even threw a long knife into it, and someone wanted to hug the red person from behind.
Li Jingye, who was bathed in blood, shook his head violently, and it stuck to his mask, and a section of intestines that blocked his line of sight was thrown out.
Someone rushed up from behind and hugged him, and the rebels in front were overjoyed, and all raised their knives to kill him.
Li Jingye shook his whole body violently...
Boom!
The rebels behind were thrown to the front, just in time to meet those attacks.
Li Jingye raised his saber and slashed away.
The rebel army in front fell three people.
When Li Jingye saw the enemy army intruding on the right, he killed them without hesitation.
The traitor shouted frantically: "Kill him! Whoever kills him... will be the first!"
Li Jingye's Mo Dao kept waving, blood splashed in front of his eyes, and his limbs flew in the air...
Those astonished faces turned to despair, those ecstatic excitement turned pale...
"kill!"
Li Jingye cut the two rebels in half with one knife, and amidst the howling, Li Jingye turned around and stood still.
Blood continued to flow down from his body, like heavy rain.
His body was covered with pieces of meat or internal organs, and his eyes looked at the rebels from the visor with extreme contempt.
"ah!"
Li Jingye looked up to the sky and screamed, "Kill it!"
He steps forward.
Poof!
He stepped on a puddle of blood on the ground, splashing blood everywhere.
"Continue to charge!"
The rebel general shouted: "Killing generals like to build Jingguan the most. If we fail... we will all become members of the corpse mountain. Don't stop, kill!"
The rebels swarmed.
On the not-so-broad street, they continued to squeeze into the Tang army and start a scuffle. The rebels felt that victory was waving to themselves.
The sound of horseshoes suddenly sounded behind him.
The traitor will turn back suddenly.
Three hundred riders rushed out from the side, and then the whole team faced them.
The generals headed by raised their horses...
"Victory!"
Amid the cheers, three hundred cavalry charged.
The rebel general looked pale.
"What did they say to deal with? Where? Where?"
He shouted frantically: "Array! Arrange!"
The only way to deal with cavalry is to form an array, and only with an indestructible will can stop them.
…
"Jia Pingan dispatched the three hundred cavalry, and he has no reserve."
Abmang said ecstatically: "What is the method you said?"
Shan Dewu smiled and said: "Jia Pingan couldn't help it after all... He is not as good as me than patience. Prime Minister... At this moment, I will bring the news of the great victory he has dreamed of."
He gets up and walks out.
"Ming Dy!"
More than a dozen Tubo people aimed their longbows at the sky.
"Shoot the arrow!"
The arrow flew out.
Sharp blares echoed everywhere.
In a family's house a hundred paces away, two archers shot arrows into the sky.
The next hundred steps away, two archers...
Hu Lanqi stood in the yard and listened.
He squinted sideways, distracted...
Inside, Chanhara is criss-crossing the beauty.
The sound of dysprosium suddenly came.
Changhala howled miserably, then got up naked and rushed out.
"Are you going to dispatch?"
Hu Lanqi nodded, "Jia Pingan dispatched the last cavalry, and at this moment there are dozens of people around him, the one who dispatched us... strangled him!"
Changhala licked the powder stained on his lips, trembling with excitement, "I want to live, I want to personally humiliate Jia Pingan!"
"Strike!"
Teams of Shule people rushed into the night, more than two thousand people...
…
"Mr. Jia, more than two thousand Shule people are coming towards us."
Baiqi keeps bringing various news, this time the news can be called despair...
Shen Qiu's complexion changed, "This is to kill Duke Jia."
He took a deep breath, "Bao Dong and Lei Hong took some brothers out to protect Duke Jia, and the others stayed with us."
He smiled and stroked his long hair at the sideburns, and said calmly: "We have never seen a battle formation, but today is destined."
Jia Ping stood up, "This is Shandewu's last resort. The rebels attacked to attract three hundred cavalry, and I did what he wanted. Then he dispatched powerful and powerful private soldiers. These private soldiers should be one after another. Gather in the city, just wait for this."
He turned and went back.
"Protect Duke Jia!"
Shen Qiu's handsome face became more calm, as if the ones who were about to come were not the rebels, but friends.
Jia Pingan arrived at the back door, "Open the door!"
A hundred riders opened the back door.
He poked his head and glanced outside.
The whole street is full of people.
man, woman...
They all carried spears and knives, and so did the women. And the child was taken by the old people, and he was very obedient and didn't say a word.
They heard the sound of the door opening, and looked at the door with piercing eyes.
Baiqi trembled all over.
