Chapter 358
Before the farce was over, drums were heard outside.
The cheers of the barbarians stopped immediately, and even Bai's family broke away from their support and looked north.
Then, I saw a man rushing from the city: "Big King, King, Tang Army... Tang Army is here
This is a police drum. The guards who stayed on the city found the traces of the Tang army, so this drum beats the drum to warn.
The guard's words immediately made the enthusiasm of the barbarians in the city disappear. They looked at each other in front of each other, and then shouted at me somewhere. The people who were originally surrounded by the witch platform ran away instantly.
Even if Ke Luofeng sent a lot of people to maintain order in advance, it would be useless, because those who maintained order themselves did not know where they went.
Ge Luofeng had no mind to know them. He glanced at Bai Shi. Bai Shi's expression was gloomy and sunny. Ge Luofeng ordered sternly: "Follow me to climb the city and watch."
The walls of Taihe City are not too high. The city defense it relies on is the Dragon Head and Dragon Tail Second Pass and the Cangshan and Erhai Lake. Ge Luofeng climbed up to the top of the city and looked down. She saw the northern sky, flags like clouds and drums were faintly sounded. I don’t know how many troops were gathering there.
He focused on distinguishing, but did not see the big banner of the word "Leaf" he had seen on the Dragon Tail.
"Ye Chang has not arrived yet... the Tang army is in a mess and is very careless. He can fight in one battle." He moved his heart, looked around and shouted: "The Tang army came from afar, must be tired, and must drink water... The witch curse has been placed in the water. Who would be willing to defeat the Tang army and seize this merit?"
His subordinates looked at each other from left to right, and many people quietly shrank back.
Although the Bai family's methods seem very intimidating and have also scared many barbarians, these chiefs are not fools. They will not go up to take the lead until they confirm that the Bai family's methods are effective.
"Yang Chuanmojie, you have always claimed to be brave and have asked me to be the general of the army many times. Now I regard you as the vanguard of the army and defeat the Tang army for me, how about?" Ge Luofeng waited for a long time, but no one volunteered to fight. He was impatient in his heart: On the battlefield, the chance of victory was fleeting, Ye Chang was careless this time, and he might turn around and make up for it.
Therefore, he spoke up and said, Yang Chuan Mojie was the leader of the tribe. After hearing that he lit up, he thrust his chest: "Don't worry, let's see if I'm on behalf of the king...ah, ah...my belly...my belly..."
He was only halfway through his words, and suddenly he screamed while covering his stomach. Ge Luofeng was stunned: "What's wrong with you?"
"Ah, I accidentally drank some water from the stream just now... Could it be that I was defeated by the princess's curse? Ah, ah... King, I can't serve the king anymore..."
He was so happy, Ge Luofeng didn't understand, this guy just didn't want to fight
He looked at him coldly, and Ge Luofeng's eyes turned to the military general Mou Zhu again: "You Mou Zhu, you have made a lot of contributions to me in conquering the barbarians and have never disappointed me... Can you go to war?"
Mou Zhu took two steps back and smiled bitterly: "King, it's not that I don't want to fight, but... Ye Chang is full of tricks. How can he know that Tang Jun's appearance is not his trick? My failure to fight is small, but if the morale of the army is shaken, it will be a big deal."
"Then what you mean is to look at Tang Jun in front of us? Since ancient times, the lonely city has not been defended. If you don't go to fight, then you will go to fight by yourself."
Everyone hurriedly tried to persuade him when they heard this. They were in a mess. Suddenly, they saw the Tang army cheering like thunder. Ge Luofeng was stunned and stopped fighting anymore, but just looked at the Tang army.
I saw the flags swelling behind the Tang army, and I don’t know how many people were coming. After a while, I saw a large flag passing by and coming to the front of the army.
The big banner with the word "Leaf".
Ge Luofeng no longer said anything about going to war. Ye Chang was not unavailable, but just hiding behind the army.
Mou Zhu's concern just now was right, and Ye Chang simply designed another plan to lure him into battle
Ge Luofeng felt a stern in her heart. If so, then the only hope was that Bai's witchcraft could work.
But at this moment, he saw Ye Chang saying something, and then after the Tang army, dozens of wooden racks were supported. At first, Ge Luofeng thought it was Tang army's siege equipment. When the wooden rack was pushed forward, he looked carefully and screamed in surprise.
Not only him, but almost all the barbarians on the city wall screamed.
"Tufan...Tufan"
There was a person hanging on each wooden frame that was pushed to the front of the formation. I didn't know whether it was death or life, but I could recognize that they were all wearing Tufan clothes. When they got closer, everyone even saw their appearance clearly, and then they were even more frightened.
"Then Ruozan, that is the Tufan Censor, the reinforcements commander Lu Ruozan, he must have died if he has at least dozens of arrows inserted into his body."
"And Lun Qiliyu, when he fled back that day, I had seen him, and it was him."
Lun Ruozan and Lun Qiliyu are the commander and pioneer of the Tubo reinforcements this time. Both of them were hung on wooden frames. Lun Ruozan is obviously dead. Look at the rest of the people, they are also generals of the Tubo reinforcements, almost none of them are missing, all of them are here.
"This... this... was defeated so badly? Doesn't this mean that Tieqiao City... Tieqiao City fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty?"
The barbarians on the top of the city were also knowledgeable, so they naturally knew that the Quanrong and the Tang army left Cangshan and Erhai Lake this time to compete for the Tieqiao City. However, in just over ten days, almost all the Quanrong generals were hung on wooden frames, so the orders of Tieqiao City can be imagined.
This also means that the aid from Tufan is not to be imagined for the time being. If the Tang people broke the iron chain of the iron bridge in Tieqiao City, Tufan would not be able to build a second iron-locked bridge in less than one or two years.
"Is this Ye Chang really Zhuge Liang reborn?" I don't know who it was, muttering to himself: "If it is true, even if it is a witch curse, it may not be useful to him..."
If someone dared to say this in front of Ge Luofeng at another time, he would have to be dragged out and chopped his head. But at this time, Ge Luofeng was more panicked and fearful than anyone else. He just maintained a little calm on the surface, but in fact, what was ringing in his mind was "How is this possible?"
These are not just one or two people, but two or three thousand dogs and soldiers, how come they were destroyed in a blink of an eye, and even the chief general could not escape?
At this moment, several people pushed Lun Qiliyu's wooden frame close to the city wall. The people all had large shields to protect themselves with shields. Unexpectedly, the cold arrows on the top of the city were cold. However, Lun Qiliyu had nothing to protect. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the wall, he screamed.
Lun Qiliyu knew very well what Tang Jun meant.
The Tang army wanted him to come and call him, but the barbarian army on the city would never let him call him. As a result, the barbarian army on the city shot him to death.
Sure enough, his wailing sound of begging for mercy came into Ge Luofeng's ears. Ge Luofeng came to his senses and could not let this guy say anything to disrupt the hearts of the military and civilians in the city. Therefore, he ordered: "Shoot"
"That's a general of the Shangguo country. If he hurts him, what should I do if the Shangguo country comes to pursue him?"
"Even if they want to investigate these useless wastes, they will have to pass the Tang people in Tieqiao City first." Ge Luofeng hissed through his teeth: "Besides, I lost Tieqiao City, from now on, they will be the Quanrong people asking us..."
He had another sentence in his mind that if Nanzhao could still exist.
The two cities of Tieqiao City and Anrong City in the southwest of the Tang Dynasty, strangled the key roads for Quanrong to enter and exit. Whoever controls these two cities will have the initiative. Now Anrong City is still in the hands of Quanrong and was renamed Wuyou City by Quanrong. However, after Tieqiao City fell into the hands of the Tang army, the Tang army could use Tieqiao City as a base to survive the plateau and consume the strength of Tufan.
The offensive and defensive momentum will be easier from now on.
But that was the trouble of Quanrong, and the trouble of the future. What Ge Luofeng has to face now is his own trouble.
After receiving his order, his subordinates took the bow and arrow. Seeing this, Lun Qili's soul was scattered and shouted: "I am a general of the Supreme People's Republic of China. I have shed blood for Nanzhao, and I have made merits for Zanpu. You can't do this...
A single arrow seals the throat.
Gao Shi, who was behind, smacked his lips with regret when he saw this scene: "Shiyilang, this is too wasteful. He is the general of Quanrong who was captured alive. If he offered to capture the capital, he would definitely be able to promote the name of Shiyilang."
Ye Chang smiled and waved his hand to signal. So several more people stood forward on another wooden frame.
The Quanrong general on this wooden frame saw Lu Qiliyu being shot by an arrow with his own eyes, and he didn't know what he was going on. He immediately started to curse in Quanrong's words, and changed to a few words. He had been intimidated by the Tang army long ago. If he had not followed the Tang army's orders, he would have torture. He had seen the torture with his own eyes, and the warrior who was as brave as a soldier would beg for mercy. He also cried and howled and begged for mercy.
Then he was shot to death.
It was at least a pleasure to be shot to death. The Tang army's doctors' methods of tormenting people can be better than death. Therefore, the third, fourth, fifth... Until the 20th Quanrong officer was pushed to the city, the barbarians on the top of the city finally stopped shooting.
It doesn't make sense to shoot or not, because everyone in the city now knows that Quanrong was defeated and there is no foreign aid in Nanzhao. And everyone knows that Ye Chang's intentions are very firm and will never be shaken at all
The Quanrong officer finished what Tang Jun told him about what he called out. It was nothing more than that the Quanrong had been defeated and the entire army was destroyed. Longwei Pass was like Longshou Pass, and they all surrendered. Now Nanzhao only has an lonely city left, and there is no more obstacle to defend. If you surrender at this time, you can still be treated with courtesy, otherwise you will have to be like Ge Luofeng and be like powder.
If someone else conveys such a message, it is undoubtedly a false threat, but Ye Chang said so...
Ge Luofeng looked at this scene on the city wall, and his confidant looked at him, then looked at the city, with a strange expression.
"Fight." Ge Luofeng whispered: "After Tang Jun drinks water, everything will be better..."
He now put all his hopes on Bai's witchcraft, waiting for the witchcraft to work. However, seeing that the Tang army was burying the pot and making rice, and was not in a hurry to attack the city, not long after, Tang army appeared behind them. It seemed that Longwei Pass had indeed surrendered. The people in the city were even more anxious, and everyone was staring at the Tang army, hoping that the Tang army would fall suddenly.
"Please come next concubine," he ordered again.
After a while, Bai Shi went up to the top of the city. Ge Luofeng looked at her deeply. Thinking of the dog that was killed by witchcraft, hope rekindled in her eyes: "My beloved concubine, your witchcraft will definitely cause the Tang people to fall down, right?"
Bai probably had cast spells too much and looked ugly. She looked at the Tang army's formation and then smiled reluctantly: "Don't worry, look at the Tang army, aren't you burying a pot and making rice? The smoke from the Tang army has already risen. At this time tomorrow, the king is just waiting to take Ye Chang's head."
Ge Luofeng felt a little comforted when she heard this.
But early the next morning, the Tang army was still alive and no one fell down. Ge Luofeng, who had climbed up the city to watch, looked at the Tang people making preparations for the siege in an orderly manner, and felt more and more desperate. He asked someone to summon Bai, but when the man came back, he said that Bai was gone.
This news made Ge Luofeng feel lost.
There was also a large amount of gold, silver and fine soft materials missing at the same time as the Bai family. The news quickly spread throughout Taihe City. Ge Luofeng was still watching the Tang army's military power on the north wall of the city. The defenders in the south of the city had already opened the city gate and presented the city directly to the Tang army.
"King, I'll escort you to break out." The loyal and brave man around me said gritting his teeth: "When the king reorganizes the country, we must not let these rebellions go."
"Haha, hahaha..." Seeing the sudden change of the city, Wang Qi changed, Ge Luofeng laughed wildly again.
His heart was completely cold.
"Everyone thought I was at the end of my journey... I just thought I had no other way. Have you forgotten who am I? I have been doing things in Chang'an City for many years. I know very well that the Emperor of Tang Dynasty is good. Okay, since that's the case, then I can only take the last move..."
He murmured to himself, as if he was crazy, and his confidant felt something was wrong, and the courage he had just raised could not help but dissipate.
"King, order a breakout soon. Now we can break out to the west of the city. We have entered Cangshan Mountain. The Tang army dare not enter the mountain to pursue it." Someone advised again.
"No need, I have my own plan... Come and give me a rope, tie me up, and then open the city gate."
"What?"
"King, no, although the situation is not good now, the king still has thousands of loyal and brave soldiers, so there is no problem in protecting the king to retreat to Cangshan. The outside army of the Tang people, who are not familiar with water and soil, can they live in the boundary of Cangshan and Erhai Lake for a long time? When they retreat, we will make a comeback and will eventually revive the royal court."
"Wrong, wrong, wrong, since the beginning, we had mistakenly expected this Ye Chang. He came this time and was determined to annex Yunnan. He had such a big appetite." Seeing that the city was getting more and more chaotic, Ge Luofeng knew that he would be dead if he didn't seize this opportunity. Before anyone could get a rope for him, he pulled out a silk ribbon from a guard's robe and tied himself up: "Follow me down, open the city gate, and let's go to welcome the Shangguotian Army."
A confidant next to the "King" couldn't help but burst into tears: "King, this is a death sentence."
"It's better than being captured by those rebels to perform their merits. If I could exchange my life for your safety, it would be worth it." Ge Luofeng sighed.
