Chapter 1265 Dangerous Rockfall

The Piao army was frightened by these loud noises. They didn't know where these things came from because they had never seen them before.

Some soldiers even knelt down and kowtowed. They thought it was the mountain god who was angry. Li Xiang did not laugh at their foolish behavior, but because there were too few people going out in this era, even within the territory of the Tang Dynasty. There are many people who have never seen this.

When people have not seen these things, they can only blame them all on the gods. This is also the choice of many people in feudal society.

There are some reflective spots on the two cliffs. Huo Qubing and his men are coming over to prevent our artillery from hitting our own people. In the area around them, we also try to reduce artillery fire as much as possible. After all, the accuracy of artillery in this era is not high. .

After the first round of testing, the second round of shelling became more intense. The Piao people couldn't figure it out. They were already so high on the mountain. It took a lot of effort to walk up. How did the Tang army manage to get there? What about something that explodes?

But now they have no time to care about this, because the shelling on the mountain is irregular. In addition to the stones they originally prepared, these shells will also explode other gravel after being hit. If they don't run away quickly at this time, Then they will be crushed to death by these rubbles.

Li Xiang could see clearly from a high place that the officers were still blocking him. If all these soldiers ran away, there would be no one to defend the pass.

But the soldiers also understand that the rocks on the mountain have not fallen yet because the road is relatively far, but there is not much time left for them to escape. If they continue to stay here, the dead end will be really sealed. .

"It appears to be working better than we previously predicted."

Changsun Chong saw it very clearly. He originally thought that the landslide would only cause some soldiers to escape, but now he saw that there were no people standing at their posts on the opposite side. At the beginning, the officers were still trying to dissuade them, but now these officers also joined the escaping team. .

Of course, this is also normal. When facing death, I am afraid no one can stay well.

"Then it's up to you. Huo Qubing will send a message later, which means they can grasp the situation on the mountain. It's up to you at the bottom of the mountain. However, the soldiers are ordered to pass quickly. The rocks on the mountain are still there. Unstable.”

In fact, I was still a little worried at this time. I should have waited until all the rocks on the mountain fell before charging. However, there was no risk on the battlefield due to the speed of the soldiers. What’s more, after the fighting at the border, Cao Lian also took action. They insisted It won't be long.

Changsun Chong raised his hand and prepared to charge with his men. Huo Qubing and his men were not there either. They had been practicing mountain warfare for so long. Isn't this the time they were waiting for?

When the bombardment was over, he and his men came out of their hiding place. They rushed to the top of the mountain at extremely fast speeds. Each person in the middle was responsible for a part. Those who had the road walked naturally, and those who had no road climbed up by relying on ropes. , and the entire mountain must be inspected.

The first thing I came to check was the defeated army on the mountain. If I encountered them, I would kill them directly without any unnecessary nonsense.

The second thing to check is the falling rocks on the mountain. If some places are extremely dangerous, we might as well gather a group of people to push the rocks down to avoid trouble when our army passes by later.

These people, together with the army from Tusi's hometown, were no strangers to the mountain. It was like their home, so climbing it was effortless.

In the eyes of many people, it is impossible to pass. The road is very simple for them. As long as they carry a rope and there are trees on the mountains in the distance, they can open a road at any time.

In a very short period of time, Huo Qubing and others had occupied the mountains on both sides. There were not many people on the mountain itself. During the shelling just now, about half of the people were killed directly. The remaining people were either lying on the ground The ground was trembling, or he would just find a way down the mountain.

When the news about Huo Qubing was sent, Chang Sun Chong led his 6,000 cavalry and rushed out. Their mission was to attack the surrounding big cities immediately after crossing the border. Before the enemy could react, we had to occupy it first. Border cities.

Changsun Ze led his two thousand men, and their goal was Wacheng, the largest city in the north of Piao.

The news from Cao Lian has been sent over. When the attack here started, his people had already started burning all kinds of supplies in the surrounding area. Because it came relatively suddenly, and the defenders of Wacheng were not there at all. alert, so a large amount of supplies were burned by them.

No matter how stupid the governor of Wacheng was, he knew that this matter was closely related to Cao Lian. On the one hand, he ordered people to put out the fire, and on the other hand, he sent people to surround the Tang Guild Hall and wanted to take Cao Lian there for a talk.

Things are different now. News of the border war is about to come. Cao Lian can't go back with him at this time. He simply refuses to do anything and leads his men to use the walls of the Tang Guild Hall In order to resist, he directly started fighting with the people here.

Some people hiding around were not idle either. They formed a team of five or six people, carrying serial crossbows, and assassinated the surrounding Wacheng government officials.

The combat effectiveness of the army here is not strong. Now it seems that bows and arrows are being shot everywhere. More and more people are dying. These people are not so enthusiastic when they attack the Tang Guild Hall.

The most important thing is that when they charge, some black things will be thrown out from the Datang Guild Hall. After these things roll to their feet, they can be exploited among the crowd immediately. When the smoke dissipates, what was just now The brothers who were attacking together have already gone to the Palace of Hell.

This kind of thing killed a large number of Piao officers and soldiers, so their fighting spirit became weaker and weaker. At first, they thought that a Tang guild hall would not be able to stop them, but now they saw corpses scattered on the street, and some of them were even Behind them, they realized that the Tang Guild Hall was not that simple.

The prefect of Wacheng had some brains, so he sent some people to surround the Tang Guild Hall, and then searched for the treasures scattered throughout the city.

But the problem is that there are no words written on his face. How do you know whether he is a local citizen or a person from the Tang Dynasty? Moreover, Cao Lian has not been idle during this period and has bribed many local land rogues... (End of Chapter)
