    Chapter 65: Mahua (Below the City) Seeing that the time was almost up, Wang Hua then asked someone to shout that they should surrender without killing.  It¡¯s not that we don¡¯t cry out, these people will not die until they reach the Yellow River, and they may still be unwilling to die when they reach the Yellow River.  They had to be cornered before they could lay down their weapons and surrender.  Also, he was staring at one person, the silently sipping son-in-law Ashibi.  This person must get it. Many things happened today that puzzled him. If he didn't know where the mistakes were made, he might lose the battle even if he won three cities.  After shouting, there was a roar, and many people knelt down. These people were all at the back and had no hope of squeezing through the Yellow River.  However, as soon as they let go, the Turks on the bridge speeded up, and Ashibi also rushed towards the stone bridge.  How could Wang Hua let him escape? Just like Abdulli was targeting him, Wang Hua's eyes never left Athubi from the beginning to the end.  With a low drink, he led the soldiers and rushed over again.  There was chaos again on the bridge. Many people wanted to escape and refused to give way to each other. As a result, it was blocked again. Many soldiers and horses were squeezed into the Yellow River like rain.  Ah Shibi also arrived at the bridge at this time, but this was a chasm for him. Wang Hua stretched out his hand and grabbed him off the horse.  It will take a while for the war to end, but Wang Hua no longer wants to chase the soldiers who escaped from the south of the bridge. The situation is unknown now. God knows if another army will come out.  While cleaning the battlefield, he ordered people to blow up the bridge deck again, leaving only a few bridge piers standing pitifully on the Yellow River.  Of course, the Yellow River in this area is still not wide, nor is it very deep.  But it is definitely not something that a war horse can swim across. The bridge deck was blown up, and then there was a further arrangement. At least this section of the river was not in serious trouble.  Wang Hua then began to interrogate Ah Shibi.  At first Ashibi was tough, but he forgot about the blood camp¡¯s hatred of the Turks.  Putting aside the hatred in the past, Wang Hua was dissatisfied with what the Turks were doing in Liuhu Prefecture and other places. The heavy casualties in the Blood Camp tonight also made Wang Hua angry. Otherwise, he would not have forced the Turks like that just now.  After a long time, he shouted to surrender without killing.  Just to let them die more people.  Therefore, Wang Hua asked his men to use severe torture to extract a confession. Instead of whipping him, he first burned it with a red-hot shovel. It was so hot that green smoke came out, and Ashibi was so painful that he was dying.  Then he cut the meat piece by piece, and after only boiling it for a while, Ah Shibi obediently confessed what he knew.  There are many things that he still doesn¡¯t know, including the secret chess that Mochu has set up among certain tribes, or what military arrangements Mochu has after he leaves.  However, this shocked Wang Hua.  As he listened, he blamed himself in his heart. During this period of time, everything was going smoothly for him, and he felt arrogant.  Mochu was relying on the inheritance left by his brother, but he was conquering the east and killing the west, almost invincible, and he was not a simple figure.  I now understand the reason why Mo Hegan said that he himself is not as good as Apodagan and Dunyugu.  Fortunately, I knew it in advance, otherwise the situation would have been even more passive later, but even so, it was already very passive.  If Hebei's three cities are not captured, the situation will be even more unfavorable for him.  Thinking of this, he immediately sent scouts to Zhongshou Jiangcheng and Xishou Jiangcheng to inquire about the news.  In fact, he was very confused. There was no problem in surrendering the city. Mo Chuo did not send troops to support it. Even if the city was under police, he believed that Lun Gongren would also capture it.  Mainly Dongshoujiang City, there is also a Moju army, and it is connected with Shengzhou City.  Now that he has been alerted, Zhang Shougui is most likely to be in trouble.  Zhang Shougui now has a headache. He originally had the longest journey, so he arrived later. If there were no unexpected circumstances, he arrived here at the right time. The fourth watch is also the best time for people to fall asleep at night.  But now that the Turks in the city have discovered it, time is even more unfavorable to him.  Soon it will be bright.  Don¡¯t you want to attack?  Thinking of this, he looked at the Turks on the top of the city and saw many Turkic soldiers pouring out from Shengzhou City to reinforce Dongshoujiang City. He smiled bitterly.  The news about Lun Gongren and Wang Hua is not known over there, but it is clear that the Turks have taken precautions.  The first step of the entire plan is to trap the Turks to death in Henan.  They may not be trapped to death, but as long as the entire north bank is occupied, Moju's army will become a lonely army.  The Yellow River in this section is not as wide as the Bian River, but it is not an ordinary small river or ditch.  It is possible to build a pontoon bridge, but it will take at least a while to build it.  As long as the north shore is in your hands, plus send some ships over.  This bridge can't stand in silence anymore.  The plan is good, but the three cities of Guanjian must be taken down.  How to get it now?  Moreover, the siege equipment only consisted of dozens of ladders, which were pushed upwards with the lives of soldiers.?After the soldiers are piled up, they may not be able to shake Dongshou Jiangcheng.  Zhang Shougui frowned and looked ahead. Soldiers were constantly crossing the river from Shengzhou. He then looked behind him. Behind him was a plain and several short hillsides. There were some trees, shrubs and small wild animals growing on the hillside.  bamboo.  Suddenly his eyes lit up and he thought of a solution that was not a solution.  So he called over his two regiment leaders, Wu Mihai and Kang Dezhong. Although they were both barbarians, they were very clever.  He whispered something to them, and the two men withdrew to the rear at the head of two thousand troops.  Ibili looked at this scene with a telescope on the top of the city and felt very strange. Why did they send half of their troops to retreat? Did they think they could not capture the surrendered city?  Of course, this is better. The fighting power of the Blood Camp is very terrifying, and he doesn't want to fight hard with the Blood Camp.  But why are half of them left?  But Zhang Shougui didn¡¯t give him time to think. He led two thousand troops and slowly came to the city. He already knew it anyway, so there was no need to come quietly.  A hundred steps away from the city wall, they dismounted their horses and sent five hundred men carrying ladders to prepare for the attack.  Ibili said loudly: "Everyone, be careful." Without him shouting, his soldiers were already ready. The biggest gain this time was that there were many weapons left by the Tang Dynasty people in several cities, especially city defense weapons.  Some were sent back to the Turks, but most stayed.  "However, Ibili was fooled, and Zhang Shougui had no intention of fighting head-on. The five hundred soldiers moved closer to the city wall step by step, but they kept a strict distance and stayed far away from the city wall.  Behind him were a thousand soldiers, holding bows and arrows. This was also a normal marching arrangement. The soldiers in the front attacked the city, and the archers in the back covered it.  It was a decent style of play, but a Turk didn't pay attention.  But the knowledge is here. The long bow took another step closer. Zhang Shougui shouted: "Let go!" A batch of arrows flew up to the top of the city. At this time, the Turks stood upright one by one because the Tang soldiers were still far away.  The bodies, some holding bows and arrows in their hands, and some carrying Samu, are preparing to give the blood camp a severe blow.  The arrows flew to the top of the city.  At least two to three hundred Turks fell in response.  Zhang Shougui shouted again: "Let go" and the second batch of arrows flew up again.  At this time, Ibili hurriedly shouted: "Get down, get behind the wall." It was still a little late. The third wave of arrows flew to the top of the city again. Some soldiers did not react and were shot down on the top of the city.  With just three arrows, nearly four hundred soldiers died. Ibili bared his teeth heartbrokenly. How many soldiers did he have in total?  The other party didn't even hurt a hair, but he killed so many people.  But after a while, he felt relieved. Although the casualties were heavy, it was obvious that the other party did not have a good idea. He just used the long bow to press him down so that he could not lift his head.  There is no other way. It's almost dawn. When Moju's army arrives, the crisis in Shengzhou will be eliminated.  He had a good idea. After shooting for a while, he saw that the Turkic soldiers were depressed. Zhang Shougui actually ordered to attack the city this time.  While suppressing it with a long bow, he asked the soldiers to lift the ladder to the city wall and lean on it. Then the soldiers held round shields and climbed up to the top of the city.  However, the effect was not very good. Although due to the suppression of longbows, a small number of soldiers climbed up to the top of the city and killed some Turks.  But this weird wall stack still caused heavy damage to the Blood Camp, and it was defeated time and time again.  "His mother's fault," Zhang Shougui cursed.  But after scolding, he immediately shut his mouth and couldn't curse. Why the city wall was so perverted was also attributed to Wang Hua.  Not only are the city walls weird, but the weapons used by the Turks are also from the Tang Dynasty, including some powerful crossbows. Almost half of his men were killed by these powerful crossbows.  At this time, in the distance, Wu Mihai and Kang Dezhong dismounted their horses with their men.  ??Tie the war horse to the trees on the hillside, and then quickly cut down the small bamboos and small trees on the mountain.  They were not given much time, and as soon as day broke, the entire plan failed.  After cutting them off, the soldiers immediately weaved them together into small rafts.  There was a lack of rope, and even part of the horse's stiff rope was cut into two strands.  It¡¯s actually very rough. This kind of small raft can only carry people, but it¡¯s not enough to pass people.  After finishing the compilation, we came to the Yellow River and put the small raft down. There were still many soldiers who couldn't swim and were scared when they saw the river water. The soldiers who could swim helped each other and stabilized the raft and let them sit in the middle.  Sitting on the edge, he used a machete as an oar.  We quickly came to the other side of the river, and then using the cover of darkness in the pre-dawn moment, we headed towards Shengzhou City one by one.  This is also the reason why Zhang Shougui wanted to attack the city by force even though he knew that he would only let his soldiers die.  It is precisely because of the strong attack that the Turks' attention can be attracted, and the people in Shengzhou City in Henan can be attracted.The soldiers came together to help.  When Wu Mihai and Kang Dezhong came to the city wall, no soldiers noticed it. It was not careless. There were almost no soldiers in the city. Even if there were some, they were watching the battle in Hebei on the north wall of the city.  One by one, they touched in, and no one even noticed that the city gate was opened.  Once again, they reached under the wall of the North City and climbed to the top of the city. The poor few hundred soldiers left behind had no time to resist, so they were shot dead by the Blood Camp soldiers.  After capturing Shengzhou City, Wu Mihai and Kang Dezhong lit torches according to Zhang Shougui's instructions.  Seeing the torch on the top of Shengzhou City, Zhang Shougui quickly asked the soldiers to stop attacking the city.  Just at this moment, three to four hundred soldiers fell, which also made him heartbroken.  Ibili was also dumbfounded. How could Shengzhou City be gone? How could the Blood Camp pass by?  But the matter was not over yet. The north gate of Shengzhou opened. Wu Mihai and Kang Dezhong led their men out of the city, walked openly to the pontoon, and began to burn the pontoon. Ibili would definitely not allow them to do this.  Order the soldiers to ride across the bridge to stop them.  At first, Abdul Lidu caused the blood camp soldiers to suffer a lot because of the narrow bridge deck.  If Wang Hua hadn't thought of chopping off the horse's legs, the stone bridge would have become the stranglehold of the Blood Camp.  Moreover, the Turks fired bows and arrows one after another, and each Turk fell on the pontoon bridge, but not a single soldier broke through the middle of the pontoon bridge.  The sky finally dawned, the east was covered in red, the river was also covered in red, and the pontoon was on fire.  Ibili¡¯s face turned gray, and he didn¡¯t know whether the mistake he made this time was serious or not.  Zhang Shougui also sighed. Although Shengzhou City was captured and the floating bridge was burned, this was a blessing among misfortunes, but it had already changed the direction of this strategy.  Just when he heard from the scouts that many Turks were coming to kill him from the east, he also led most of them across the Yellow River to guard Shengzhou City.  About a hundred other injured warriors took their horses and returned to Fengzhou to report to Wang Hua.  Wang Hua was very dumbfounded when he heard the news. ??????? Mainly weird.  Look at the terrain. To the north of the Yellow River, starting from Zhongshoujiang City, they were captured by themselves. However, because Dongshoujiang City was still in the hands of the Turks, and Moju's combat effectiveness was not weak, it became the territory of the Turks.  But south of the Yellow River, the world is undoubtedly dominated by the Turks, but because of Zhang Shougui's forcible intervention, the two sides of the river have now become a twist, twisted together.  But this twist is not a good thing. The original plan was to capture the four cities in Hebei. It would be better to capture Shengzhou. If we capture it, a sharp knife will be stuck on the south bank.  Can't take it down and pull it down.  Mo Ju has never fought against him, and since Mo Heqian admires him, he is not weak at all.  But without the protection of the city, they were like rootless duckweeds. Wang Hua had n ways to snatch them away.  In this way, Hebei becomes its own world, and then Mochui will be led by his own nose in Henan.  But now that Moju has a city to rely on, at least the area around Dongshoujiang City will continue to be dominated by the Turks.  Even if Zhang Shougui occupies Shengzhou City, it will be very uncomfortable for him to be silent.  But if he wants to retreat, Zhang Shougui can only control the inside of the city, not the outside.  It is still very easy to build a pontoon bridge.  It would be easier if Mo Chuo retreated wholeheartedly, and immediately mobilized the army, mainly to the north.  But will Mo Chui retreat wholeheartedly?  He is sweeping across the world, how can he be frightened?  Now he can evacuate if he retreats, and attack if he advances.  It is possible to retreat in detail and at the same time take revenge on yourself and attack Xiayan and other state capitals.  He didn't dare to divide his troops with his pitiful strength. A single division of troops might cause Mo Chui to turn his rear upside down.  Even if you mobilize the ships yourself and defend them by force, the loss will be equally serious.  What was the situation in Lanzhou? The soldiers abandoned the boat and hid under the water to burn the pontoon bridge.  What to burn now?  Although the river is very wide, the Turks occupy both sides of the river, completely covering the river with bows and arrows.  It¡¯s such a headache.  And Mochu¡¯s son Oteqin went back to mobilize tens of thousands of troops.  If he was allowed to bring these tens of thousands of troops over, the consequences would be even more serious.  This made Wang Hua realize that this twist not only gave him a headache, it might also become a huge meat grinder.  Thinking about it, Li Xuejun didn't even know the pain when he changed the medicine for his injury.  "Erlang, what's wrong?" Wang Hua said what he was thinking.  Li Xuejun blinked and said, "Erlang, we also have an advantage." "What advantage?" "Erlang, how many soldiers did you have when you came to Shannan? How many soldiers are you now?" "Jun Xue, you mean the people outside.  "Exactly, there are so many people outside, and now Erlang has rescued them. And it's not like they haven't heard of Erlang's good governance in Bazhou. It's just that Erlang didn't accept them from Liuhu Prefecture to Fengzhou because he was afraid of being criticized by the court.  , many people came to seek refuge with Erlang. Now you can find him.We, communicate with them, and then transport a large amount of weapons from Lingzhou, and you can create nearly 10,000 more soldiers out of thin air.  At least 10,000 militiamen.  In fact, there is no need to transport weapons. The loot captured this time can also be used to organize a group of soldiers.  In this way, there will be no problem in defending Fengzhou.  You can also divide your troops to support Lun Gongren, and even harass Moju.  At the same time, there is no need to move the troops in the rear. As long as the war in the south ends, the troops will be abundant.  " "Mr. Xue, this is all a good idea," Wang Hua stood up happily, regardless of his injuries, and limped out. Mo Chui was also looking at the map, and after a while he said: "Yes.  Many people died.  " He meant the same thing as Wang Hua, thinking that this twist would be a meat grinder. After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked around in confusion. "His reaction was a step too late. If he had reacted in advance, the three surrendered cities would have been destroyed.  If you don't lose it, you can attack if you advance, and you can defend if you retreat. Not only can all the hundreds of thousands of people be transferred to the country, and the population can be replenished, but Wang Hua can also be given a lesson. But now the two surrender cities have been lost, and the east surrender city has not been lost.  , but the Shengzhou City across the river was taken by the Blood Camp, which would make this battle full of variables. Wang Hua had a headache now, and Mo Chui also had a headache. Although he had the advantage, he didn't want to be.  The meat grinder is finished, and the blood camp is almost over. The Tubo people want to take revenge. The foolish emperor of the Tang Dynasty is also instigated by the woman in the harem and will attack the blood camp again. But if he leaves a hundred thousand troops here, he will not get it.  The good thing is that after returning to the country, the various ministries that have been finally appeased are ready to take action again. This twist is also related to the life and death of the blood camp, and it is also related to the prosperity and decline of our country.  After looking at Abo Dagan and Tun Yugu for a while, Abo Dagan said: "Great Khan, I have an idea.  "    "Tell me.  " "Now Ashibi is in the hands of Wang Hua.  " Mo Chui snorted coldly. This is a shameful thing, and this battle also made Mo Chui heartache. Of the three thousand defenders in the city, plus the five thousand supporting troops, less than two thousand people escaped.  "If it goes well, Wang Hua will definitely get our arrangements, and we know that the prince will mobilize tens of thousands of troops when he returns.  However, he now has limited troops. What actions will he take in order to defend himself?  " Mo Chu's eyes lit up. "Abo Dagan was referring to the possibility that Wang Hua would mobilize the militiamen from the tens of thousands of people in Fengzhou to assist in defense. However, several tribes in Fengzhou had defected to him, and he still had three thousand soldiers.  It was Anzi, so Mo Chuo let them stay in Fengzhou. The other people moved to the north of Yinshan Mountain, but these large tribes have not moved. This serves as eyes and ears, as well as a stable and preventive effect.  Of course, under normal circumstances, they may not be effective, but once Wang Hua recruits them to participate in the defense, Wang Hua and his team in Fengzhou will be doomed.  .
