    This is not impossible, otherwise the Blood Camp would not send troops to Qinzhou.  .  .  Xinuoluo opened the march map and looked at the distance between his army and Jishi Mountain. Then he thought about how many mountains and rivers there were in this area, and he had a cold war in his heart.  It had only been less than a year since the battle at the Pebble River, but he still remembered it fresh.  The battle at Calabash Ridge also didn¡¯t last long.  How many places from Qinzhou to Jishi Mountain have terrain similar to that of Pebble River and Hulu Ridge? After thinking about it, he immediately ordered: "Withdraw". He had to withdraw his troops. Although this was a bit shameful, plus the shooting and explosion just now, it caused another  Nearly a thousand soldiers suffered casualties, but the main force of the army is still there. As long as the main force is still there, there is a chance for a comeback.  The main reason is that Wang Hua has some novel weapons that he has not mastered. Once he masters them, he may not be incapable of fighting.  Also, it is believed that Wang Hua suffered serious casualties in this battle, but he also did not find out how many casualties he had.  Therefore, now is not the time for war.  The army immediately set up camp, but without moving, they turned around and walked.  The situation in Qinzhou has not improved because Xinolo left. There are still more than 20,000 soldiers who continue to attack frantically. The city of Qinzhou is like a dead leaf in the wind and rain, crumbling at any time.  And so far, nearly half of the soldiers have fallen on the city.  But things got better instead.  At first, the casualties were the heaviest. Now after several fights, we also know how to use walls, stacks and other bunkers. We also know that bows and arrows from under the city wall can also be shot up to the top of the city, and they can also kill people.  Learn to use bunkers and start reducing casualties in the first step.  He also understood that although the city wall was tall, the enemy would attack the city from time to time and fight on the city. He began to learn how to take advantage of the large number of people on the city and kill the few Tibetans who climbed up to the city.  I also learned the difference between a cloud ladder and a simple wooden ladder.  There are not many regular ladders, and most of them were seized by Xinolo from the ordnance warehouses in Mintao and Tao Prefectures. There are more than a dozen in total.  But this kind of ladder was heavy and bulky. If you wanted to topple it all at once, several soldiers had to stick their heads out, which made it a target for the Tibetan people.  Even if it was overthrown, the Tubo people would put it up again.  So now I¡¯ve learned to be smart and ignore this ladder. There aren¡¯t many of it anyway. At worst, the enemy will come up and shoot them with arrows, hit them with rocks, and pour boiling oil on them.  The other wooden ladders were easy to handle, and now everyone was smarter. After getting down the enemies on the wooden ladder, some were even brave enough to grab the wooden ladder and confiscate it. ? ? One thing in particular is that at first it was random shooting, but now I know how to shoot arrows or throw other weapons, I know how to aim first, or to hit places with many people.  There is a little bit of that look.  But hearing the shouts of killing, the people in the city were still very scared.  However, at first, a small number of common people took the initiative to carry things for the defenders on the city. They did not dare to go to the city and only moved them to the wall.  But it saves time and some physical strength of the soldiers.  At this moment, the Blood Camp sent good news from the east gate, and Tao Hanming immediately announced the news.  I don¡¯t dare to talk about the bloody camp, but I say that the Tubo were severely beaten by our Tang army at the street pavilion, killing more than 9,000 people, and even the general was killed.  This news once again boosted morale.  At this time, Xinolo also returned with his army. He was somewhat angry and attacked twice.  Qinzhou City was almost lost these two times, which was to vent his anger.  But at this time Xue Song made some adjustments again.  At the street pavilion, he flew the banner of the Tianxuan Army, but he asked Gao Xinu to go to the northwest of Qinzhou City, flying the banner of the Yuheng Army, and generously sent a few people to the rear of Xinuoluo to check.  The rest of them stayed in the hilly areas in the distance, appearing and disappearing.  Xiluo felt even more upset because he didn't think that the blood camp would fight for the people of Qinzhou.  After two fierce attacks, Xinuoluo saw that he would not be able to capture Qinzhou City for a while, so he led his army to evacuate to the west.  This time they really evacuated, and they were almost non-stop on the road.  But Tao Hanming still did not open the city gate. It was not until more than a hundred injured soldiers from the Blood Camp came to Qinzhou City with a large number of horses and supplies that Tao Hanming carefully asked people to open the city gate.  Although a large number of Tubo soldiers were killed and injured in the Jieting sniper battle, there were also some casualties. More than 200 soldiers died and more than 100 soldiers were seriously injured. These people were unable to keep up with the army.  Just in time to escort the war horses and supplies back.  However, the horses were also divided into three parts. Nearly 5,000 war horses were captured, and 2,000 outstanding war horses were selected as backup horses to rotate the horse power.  More than a thousand horses were injured by arrows or other injuries during the battle.  As a reward and a favor, Xue Song gave it to Qinzhou at once.  Most of the horses can still be cured. Although these have hidden diseases, they are still sufficient as farm horses.  There are even a few war horses that have recovered properly and can still return to the battlefield.  Xue Song didn¡¯t consider this.  The other more than a thousand horses are all inferior horses., and the old horse, asked the wounded to put the supplies on the horse's back, and set off to Weizhou in a generous manner.  Arriving at the gate of Weizhou City, under the banner of Blood Camp, we entered the city directly. In fact, someone from far away informed the Weizhou Governor.  The governor of Weizhou was not a fool. Xinuoluo was wreaking havoc in Longyou, especially taking Minzhou. There were only two goals, either Weizhou or Qinzhou. The governor of Weizhou was very nervous.  Fortunately, Xinolo's army turned to Qinzhou.  He was still worried that with Xinuoluo's military strength, he could still detach a force to turn to Weizhou, so he sent scouts to inquire.  They heard about Qinzhou¡¯s glorious deeds of fending off nearly twenty attacks by the Tibetans for more than two days, as well as the Battle of Jieting. In fact, everyone knew very well that this time Qinzhou Governor Tao Hanming might have a chance to shine.  , but there is a faint contribution from Blood Camp.  Of course, he was also considering one thing, whether to help Tao Hanming take advantage of the situation, or to reveal the mystery in the middle? But when he heard more than a hundred wounded people rushing towards the city gate under the banner of the blood camp, he knew that it was a battle at the street pavilion.  Wounded wounded.  When the soldier came to report, he scolded: "You have to ask me about this matter? Just pretend you didn't see it, and I don't know about it." When the court comes to question him, he is ready to shirk it.  But it can't be stopped. If these more than a hundred wounded people are captured, it won't take much effort, and the horses and baggage they bring are also exciting. But do you have the courage? So when I saw them coming, a dozen guards  Some of the soldiers at the city gate went to the toilet because they had diarrhea, and some had wives who were about to give birth, so all kinds of weird things happened.  It's a weird and funny scene, but this is reality. In the face of powerful strength, all ghosts and monsters can only retreat three points.  Not only did he send these injured horses, he also fulfilled his promise and gave 20,000 yuan to Tao Hanming.  However, this money was only a drop in the bucket. In more than two days of defending the city, more than 5,000 soldiers died in the battle, and other soldiers were more or less injured.  The amount of support needed by so many soldiers is an astonishing amount.  But this problem is not big. How to show merit to the court now? Qinzhou City was the first city that was not lost under the attack of tens of thousands of Xinuolo troops.  Moreover, there are only about a thousand regular soldiers in the city, and the others are government servants, temporarily recruited soldiers, or civilian husbands.  This is a miracle, but how to erase the shadow of the bloody camp cannot be concealed, but how to write "100 defeats in 100 battles" as 100 defeats in 100 battles is a bit of a headache.  As soon as the victory came, ugly stories began to unfold.  However, after the people of Qinzhou were confirmed, the whole city cheered, and then many people cried, because the soldiers who died in the battle, not only the soldiers, but also their children, died too many.  Xue Song looked back at the tall city on his horse.  I sighed in my heart, no matter what, it was better than the consequences of the Tubo people attacking the pool.  Especially for the two attacks, it would be a disaster if Xinolo was allowed to bring his anger into the city.  The army marched westward, closely following Xinolo.  Xinuoluo was going crazy, so he divided his troops to catch up. However, he divided his troops in front, and the following blood camp soldiers immediately fled into the distance.  He himself did not dare to pursue too far for fear of being ambushed, so he had to order the troops to withdraw.  But the front retreated, and the "Tianxuan Army" behind them caught up again.  I want to set up an ambush to capture these thousands of troops, but there is an even more annoying small team next to me. If the thousands of people behind are arrogant, this small team of hundreds of people is shameless.  Just like a brown candy, it sticks tightly to the body.  If they fight back, they will move faster than a rabbit. With a flick of the horse's head, they will be gone in a moment.  After watching for a long time, Xinolo finally saw something interesting. The horses these people were riding were all good horses.  And every one of them is extremely skilled.  My subordinates also have excellent horses and soldiers with excellent riding skills, so I sent a group of soldiers to pursue them.  This time the nature is different.  A wolf pack tactic of dividing and reuniting took place in the distance, with the same consequences as before.  Or if you send a large army, you won't even fight at once, and you don't know where to go.  The army withdrew and joined forces again. It was no big deal that they were stuck together. They were extremely courageous. Tens of thousands of people were marching. It was impossible not to leave gaps. When they saw the gaps, they immediately acted like wolves and pounced on them to bite a few people.  mouth, quickly retreated to a safe distance, and blatantly rested and reorganized.  What kind of ambush can we talk about in this situation? In fact, the loss is not big, but this despicable harassment tactic is very infuriating.  In the end, Sinolo had no choice but to keep the captured people on the outside. Aren¡¯t you going to shoot arrows? Hit your compatriots.  This move had some effect, it was still causing harassment, but the damage was further reduced.  Returning to Minzhou City, I happened to receive a report from Zhuo Jimangri.  8. Jishi Mountain cannot be lost.  Once it is lost, should you lead your troops to withdraw to Zishan? What if Zishan is lost again? Withdraw to Nuoyi River and Yanniu River? Then withdraw, where? Withdraw to some cities? There is no need to worry about this, at least for now, Wang Hua  Capture Jishi Mountain, there is no more going south.  It's not that I don't want to go, the terrain is dangerous, and the altitude is getting higher and higher after passing Jishi Mountain, normally reaching 5,000 meters, and in some areas it exceeds 9,000 meters.  Wang Hua was alone all the way across many areas of the Tubo Plateau. At some heights, the thin air made it uncomfortable even for his strong physical strength.  Therefore, there is a process of adaptation. He tried some herbal medicines, but they still had an impact on the body. This impact was further amplified on the entire army, and Wang Hua did not know what the consequences would be.  Moreover, going further south and entering the Tubo base camp, although there are only three to four million people, the time, place and people are favorable, and I can't take it. The army is not as large as the opponent's. If you don't enter, there is a high probability that you will be defeated immediately once you enter.  "You can fight. Let's fight north of Jishi Mountain."  But Xinuoluo didn't know Wang Hua's plan. What he saw was that the blood camp was strong, no matter how strong, with fierce soldiers, weird weapons, various ingenious tactics, and starry generals.  It is simply an invincible existence, an incomprehensible existence.  I thought wildly for a while and continued to think about Wang Hua's intentions.  Now is the time for the three main forces in front of Jishi Mountain to attack their own nests. They originally thought that there was a danger from the terrain, but now with all kinds of weird tactics, this danger from the terrain may not be useful.  But it¡¯s not just that. Three armies appeared in Jishi Mountain, but Wang Hua¡¯s regular army had seven armies and four brigades.  Now that the Tang Dynasty's northwest troops are empty, one of their own armies has taken a bite. As long as three militia divisions are sent to guard it, the eight states will have no worries.  There is still a regular army in Xiazhou. If Mo Chu is prevented, it is possible that an army will be left in Lingzhou and Yinzhou City.  But what about the two armies and four brigades? The two armies have already appeared around themselves, but the number is wrong. The Tianxuan Army will definitely not only have four or five thousand people.  The Yuheng Army only dispatched a few hundred people.  So where are the remaining 30,000 or so troops? Needless to say, these tens of thousands of people must be hiding in that place insidiously, waiting for them to take the bait.  But thinking about this, Xinolo felt a little funny. It was not easy to eat his own army.  Even if Tigul wasted thousands of soldiers, he still had 80,000 elite soldiers at his disposal.  The number of people the blood camp can mobilize is only thirty or forty thousand.  An ambush is possible. The Blood Camp has defeated many with less on many occasions, but it can only be ambushed at one point.  If it is divided into two and three routes, it would be unrealistic to rely on an army of 10,000 to 20,000 to capture your own army.  To deal with that idiot Kezanre, the Blood Camp had been carefully planning for a long time. There were still 20,000 regular troops mobilized one after another, plus nearly 20,000 militiamen.  Even if you retreat, there are many ways to go.  Although he thought so, he was still looking at the map.  However, after watching for a while, Xinolo became a little worried. There were many roads, but there were not many roads to choose from. Taking the Taozhou line, the road was long, the terrain was complicated, and it was very close to Hezhou. This road was not necessary.  Take the risk.  Taking the Songzhou road, the only way to deal with the difficult Sun Renxian is to capture Songzhou City. The road is already far, plus the time it takes to attack the city.  Zhuo Jimang Rixin must have some moisture, but he would not be able to hold on to that time anyway.  So there are only two routes to choose from.  The first one is the shortest road from Diezhou to Xiqing Mountain to Jishi Mountain, but it is also a dangerous road, because the three armies of the Blood Camp have already attacked the foot of Jishi Mountain, and there is a possibility of a two-pronged attack on Xiqing Mountain.  At the same time, this area has been controlled by Wang Hua, making it very convenient to ambush.  But will Wang Hua choose to ambush along this route? If he ambush along this route, it would be too obvious.  ?Then the second route is from Fuzhou to the back of Jishi Mountain. The road is a bit difficult to walk, but this road can avoid a two-way attack.  However, he always felt that the more this happened, the more Wang Hua would set an ambush on this road.  Moreover, Fuzhou has beautiful mountains, clear waters, and beautiful scenery, but this beautiful scenery is composed of mountains, water, ditches, and countless woods and bamboo forests. The scenery is beautiful, but it is also a good place to set up an ambush.  So which route would Wang Hua choose to set up an ambush? At this moment, he received news from Afzan again.  Afzan has just captured Danzhou, but Danzhou is a very small state, with a combined population of only a few thousand people in the two counties.  And it is composed of poor Qiang people.  After Afzan captured the city, he was very disappointed, so he sent soldiers to the villages to look for "harvests".  But something happened at this time. There were two ferocious troops outside the city, under the banner of Blood Camp Suzaku and Xuanwu. They were not many in number, but their horses were excellent and their soldiers' combat effectiveness was even more fierce.  They killed many of the soldiers who left the city in batches. In just one day, they killed more than a thousand people, which was more than the total number of people killed in so many days.  Xinolo pinched his nose and thought to himself, I have already had a taste of this military branch.  However, he also knew that it was not easy to establish such a military branch. Even if the entire blood camp was assembled, there would only be a few thousand people.  But why did Wang Hua do this? If he set an ambush in Fuzhou, then he shouldIt's better to let yourself go to Fuzhou.  Isn't he unwilling to take the line of Fuzhou? Or he is deliberately playing a trick of making things false but not real.  Deliberately using these small troops to harass and confuse yourself, but boldly take the Fuzhou route? After thinking for a long time, he called his generals to discuss, and there was a consensus on one thing. The blood camp ambush could only be  If you ambush one place, you will definitely not have the strength to ambush two places.  But no one dared to draw a conclusion there.  Bangsun even came up with an idea. Since both places are dangerous, we might as well go to Taozhou.  The most dangerous places may actually be the safest.  We can even take advantage of the situation and attack Hezhou, forcing the Blood Camp to return to rescue them, and then we can set up an ambush.  After arguing for a long time, Xinuoluo still ordered to take the Fuzhou route.  Although it is possible to set up an ambush, it is the safest road under normal circumstances.  Then he ordered Afzan to immediately go southeast and go straight to Fujin County. If he wants to go to Fuzhou, Wuzhou must be removed.  He himself led his troops straight to Jiangli County.  But before leaving, he did something outrageous and outrageous. He captured all the strong men and young women in the city and carried their luggage for them.  However, this time I did not bring any bulky materials such as food.  After all, it takes time.  The other people did not kill many people, but in order to vent their anger, they destroyed the remaining supplies and the entire Minzhou City with a fire.  Many people did not have time to escape and were burned to death in the fire.  When the army came to Jiangli County, Xinuoluo didn't pay attention to this small town.  However, this time he was wrong again. Everything he did in Minzhou finally made Sun Renxian angry and issued a death order. Even if there was only one person left in the city to die, he did not let the Tubo people take a step forward.  This group of people is simply a bunch of beasts, worse than beasts.  Indeed, throughout the Tang Dynasty, only the Tubo people were the most cruel to the Han people. Even if they invaded Mochu for a time, the Tubo people did not go too far.  Some things were no less evil than what the Japanese later did when they entered China.  Not only did he issue a death order, he also adopted Wang Hua's approach of strengthening the walls and clearing the country.  Gather the people outside the city into the city. If the city is alive and the people are there, everyone will perish together if the city dies.  Xinolo didn't know about this change. It was normal for the people outside the city to flee into the city together.  Thousands of soldiers carrying siege equipment came to the city one by one.  However, there was a rain of arrows and stones in front of us.  Although the troops were very limited, the four thousand soldiers sent by Wang Hua were like timely rain.  This allowed him to mobilize more than 9,000 soldiers in total. Wuzhou officials were naturally very happy when they heard his arrival, and they also made some preparations in advance to gather four to five thousand motley troops similar to those in Qinzhou.  This brought the number of troops in Sun Renxian's hands to more than 10,000.  Although he doubted the combat effectiveness of Wuzhou's soldiers, having one more person also gave him more courage.  The troops were divided, with Fujin at the forefront and 9,000 elite soldiers mobilized.  He took four thousand soldiers to guard Jiangli County.  But he didn't expect that Jiangli County would welcome Xinolo in person.  In this round of counterattack, Sun Renxian did not use a longbow.  Because there were not many soldiers attacking Tibet.  The attack of several thousand Tubo people was quickly defeated.  Xinolo was a little annoyed. After eating one nail, do you want to eat a second nail? So he mobilized 5,000 people for reinforcements.  At this time, Sun Renxian gave the order to use the long bow.  Unprepared, the killing was so ruthless that batches of Tubo people fell down like straw.  Those nearby continued to use normal bows and arrows and rolling stones to smash down the trees.  Longbow, seeing the longbow again Xinuoluo shuddered, but he was very intelligent, and he had never seen the longbow used in the blood camp, but he heard the description of the fleeing soldiers, but when he looked at the city, these soldiers were still unfamiliar with how to use it.  There are a few soldiers who can tell at a glance that they have no combat experience at all.  These longbows are supported by the blood camp.  But why did the Blood Camp support the Wuzhou defenders, and where did so many Wuzhou defenders come from? Could it be that the Blood Camp did not want to withdraw from the Fuzhou line to Jishi Mountain, and having such an idea made him even more  We have to take Fuzhou Road.  ¡°But facing this kind of murderous weapon, I don¡¯t want to lose miserably.  Therefore, he came up with a new idea, pushing the captive people in front one by one to serve as human shields.  Seeing these common people, the soldiers in the city were a little embarrassed and looked at Sun Renxian one by one.  Sun Renxian also felt a headache. After all, they were ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty. If they shot arrows at the city, these ordinary people didn't even have a piece of armor, and a large piece would fall down when they shot.  You are reading Chapter 57 Going South.
