Chapter 581: bestow the third prince
Chapter 581 Bestowing the Third Prince
The morning is cold.
In the Zhangshan valley, an elite Tang cavalry marched forward under the guidance of the red flag.
Tuyuhun sentry cavalry watched from a distance, and rushed to report back.
"Tang Qi, Tang Qi is here."
"We saw Qin Lang's handsome flag, and Qin Sanlang came personally."
Ku Valley, Fu Yun had just woken up when he saw his own soldiers rushing to report.
"Why are you panicking, how many people are here? Are you sure Qin Lang is here?"
"There are nearly ten thousand riders, who have already reached the valley, and the mountains and valleys are full of Tang riders, brightly shining, with red flags everywhere, and Qin Sanlang's big banner stands in front of the valley, and Qin Sanlang is wearing a golden armor and a scarlet cloak. , extremely dazzling and arrogant.”
Qin Sanlang is now well-known in Longyou, and Tuyuhun also painted a portrait of Qin Lang earlier, and sent it back to Tuyuhun Fuyun.
"I really underestimated this Qin Sanlang. He is so young and vigorous. He dared to force his way in. I admire him." Fu Yun smiled instead of anger, "Hahaha, just in time, Ben Khan set up a net here, just in time Order him, if Tang Qi attacks, never be polite, but only this Qin Sanlang is not allowed to kill, if I want to live, I will capture him, I will accept him as a son-in-law, let him be a general, for I, Tuyuhun, trained and commanded soldiers and horses, and fought for me, just like Li Ling of the Han Dynasty, serving as the king of the Xiongnu."
Fu Yun looks so complacent, but he also has a plan in mind.
He is not afraid of the Tang army's attack, and has already prepared a countermeasure.
The danger of the mountains and the preparations of the Ku Valley are not afraid of the Tang Dynasty's attack at all. No matter how elite the equipment is, there is no need to worry.
South entrance of Ku Valley.
The two sides of the valley are steep, and the valley is very deep and wide, but the mouth of the valley is a gourd mouth, which is extremely narrow.
They were still cutting trees early to block the valley and occupy a dangerous position. It is really not easy to attack.
Outside Qin Langle Bing Valley, the front here is as wide as a thousand steps, which is quite suitable for fighting and setting up camp.
"Fuyun Khan, can you come and see me?"
Qin Lang rode his horse and stopped within a stone's throw of the valley, and asked loudly.
On a side **** in the valley, Fu Yun wore chain mail inside and iron armor outside, riding a Qinghai dragon colt, and looked at the young man who was about to slash his sword from a distance.
Young and handsome, wearing golden armor, riding a leopard-headed horse, holding a Zhangba horse lance, standing there, he is really Lu Bu among horses, and red rabbit among people.
"If you look back, you can kill the painter from last time. What the **** did you paint? How can it compare to the tenth real Qin Sanlang?"
Eldest Prince Murong Shun and Second Prince Murong Cheng stood behind, feeling sour when they heard this.
"Go, I will meet Qin Sanlang."
Fu Yun urged the horse downhill.
went straight to Taniguchi, and the two of them looked at each other from a distance through the piles of fallen trees.
"Qin Sanlang is really handsome!" Fu Yun praised.
Qin Lang immediately chuckled, "Khan is just a bad old man who is dying. He is about to die, but he doesn't know it. He's so dazed."
Fu Yun was stunned by these words, angry in his heart, but he suppressed it again.
"San Lang is so handsome, his mouth is not forgiving. Young people, you should restrain your sharpness, it's easy to break after just passing."
"Since Khan is old and confused, it is actually better to abdicate to the virtuous. The two beside you must be the two elder sons of the Great Khan. Which one is the king of Daning and which is the respected king? You can choose one to pass on the throne to the virtuous, and you will take it easy. It's not a good thing to always be reluctant to let go of power."
"Qin Sanlang, fighting without declaration is an insult!"
Qin Lang said disdainfully, "It's indecent to come and not to go. Last time in the battle of Songdie, the party invaded Songzhou. Why did Khan send Wusu and ten thousand riders to attack our Diezhou?"
"The last battle of Longyou, why didn't Khan know how to restrain himself, and repeatedly invaded our Longyou border?"
"But once again, the Khan has violated our border again and again. This is an undeclared war, and does it mean that he will never die? Now, I will follow my wish and lead my troops to fight the Khan to the death. , Fu Yun old man, I came, why did you retreat?"
"Don't dare to fight?"
Fu Yun was panting heavily.
"Ben Khan appreciates Qin Sanlang's bravery. If Sanlang is willing to join Ben Khan, Ben Khan is willing to marry his daughter and canonize you as King of Wei. How about it?"
"That's it?" Qin Lang snorted.
"If Sanlang thinks it's not enough, I can also make you the third prince and make you Marshal Tuyuhun, or I can also give you the special title of Marshal Tiance and allow you to start the mansion."
"Fu Yun old man, even if you give me the position of Tuyuhun Khan now, I wouldn't mind it. A small foreign country that is about to perish, you are considered a treasure, but in my eyes, it is not as good as grass. Don't talk nonsense. Say more, come out and fight!"
"It's a pity." Fu Yun shook his head, "Ben Khan thought you were a talent, and I couldn't bear to let you down. But you are too arrogant, and you really deceived me to be like no one?" No matter how good-tempered Fu Yun is, he can't stand Qin In front of the two armies, Lang scorned and insulted so openly.
"My surname is Qin, don't you claim to be good at fighting? I'm setting up defenses here now, and you can attack if you have the ability. If you don't have the ability, I advise you to retreat early, so as not to lose your life in time."
After Fu Yun finished speaking, he didn't bother to listen to Qin Lang's obscenities, so he turned his head and left.
Qin Lang didn't retreat there, but threw the imperial-given black lacquered iron-wrapped lance to the ground, and inserted the lance tail deeply into the ground.
"Blow the horn, beat the drum!"
"Attack!"
"If you don't capture this valley, if you don't capture old man Fuyun alive, I will never retreat!"
Qin Lang roared again and again.
Behind him, horns sounded and drums beat.
The knights simply dismounted, lined up neatly, stepped forward with shields and bows.
The crossbowmen removed the large crossbow parts from the horse and quickly began to assemble them.
Fu Yun turned around in astonishment, seeing Tang Qi's non-sloppy movements, and didn't leave.
"Ben Khan would like to see what kind of ability this Qin Sanlang has. He can take down my defense by force, and he will also blow horns and drums for me to suppress their momentum."
The drums of war are thundering.
The horn is melodious.
Tang Jun kept drumming and horning, and the cavalry dismounted one after another.
The knights dismounted to fight on foot, picked up their horn bows and set arrows on the strings, and approached in a neat formation. There were also cavalry pushing a large crossbow to the sides, ready for fire support.
Fu Yun was sitting on the hillside inside the valley entrance, watching the formation condescendingly, the more he watched, the more he admired Qin Lang's strict orders, and envied Tang Jun's excellent equipment.
The knights also have armor, and it can even be seen that these knights have a detailed classification. There are armored cavalry with horses and horses, iron cavalry with iron armor, and light cavalry with light armor. If divided by weapons, it can be seen that there are shock cavalry with horses and spears as the mainstay, cavalry and archery cavalry with horned bows and light crossbows, and even dismounted cavalry equipped with mo knives, heavy axes and large shields. cavalry.
Looking back at your own horses, mounted horses are cavalry, dismounted are herdsmen, most of them are just cowhide armor, only a few have iron armor.
"Is Qin Sanlang so stubborn? Is this intended to tear apart our defenses with a rain of bows and crossbows?"
The second prince Murong Cheng disdainfully said, "It seems that this so-called new God of War is nothing but bragging. Even an ordinary general knows that cavalry are not good at attacking fortifications. Although our valley entrance is not a castle, there are ditches blocked by thick logs, and the hillsides on both sides There are still many people guarding with bows on the ground, such a narrow opening is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and sending precious cavalry to attack by force is death."
"I'm afraid there is deceit in it." Fu Yun is a treacherous old fox, he thinks that Qin Lang can't be so stupid, but at the moment he really can't think of any other possibility.
"Father Khan, don't worry. It's only the former army of Tang cavalry with less than 10,000 people who came. Their infantry in the middle army and auxiliary soldiers in the logistics are still far away. They can't make it in ten days and a half months. I thought that this Qin Lang must be thinking about it." Instead of defending, they deliberately pretended to attack, and then attracted us, fearing that we would flee far away, just to delay the arrival of their large troops. The real attack must be the infantry of the Chinese army behind, and even rely on the infantry of the auxiliary soldiers behind. Artisans and equipment." Daning Wang Murongshun put forward his own opinion.
Fu Yun frowned.
"If this is the case, it will be very troublesome. I am afraid that those craftsmen will build siege equipment on the spot. The siege equipment in the Central Plains is very strong. Our simple defense may not be easy to defend."
The second prince said disdainfully, "My brother is a bit alarmist. Even if they build siege equipment, the opening is only a hundred steps wide. We have nearly 100,000 people guarding this valley. Are we afraid that we will not be able to defend this hundred steps? On the slope, there are tens of thousands of archers, no matter how powerful the equipment is, they can never get close!"
"Besides, it takes time to build siege equipment. The longer it is delayed, the better it will be for us. Tang people can't afford it."
Fu Yun smiled, "Yes."
At the foot of the mountain, two thousand Tang cavalry took the lead in attacking. They dismounted and assembled, and launched a tentative attack on Taniguchi with bows and crossbows.
Wave after wave of arrow rain, very dense.
Ke Taniguchi terrain restrictions, the effect is not very good.
The Tuyuhun people also fought back with bows and arrows, and the two sides fought back and forth. This fight lasted for a whole morning. The Tang army consumed tens of thousands of arrows, covering the entire valley entrance with a dense layer of arrow grass.
But not many people were killed, let alone seize Taniguchi.
Fu Yun dozed off while watching on the hillside, this fight was too boring.
"The Tang people are here to send us arrows, right? There are almost 100,000 arrows. These arrows are much stronger than those made by ourselves. When the arrows stop, we can go forward and collect them. Hahaha." The second prince laughed loudly.
Fu Yun also felt that it was true.
"Doesn't Qin Sanlang really want to be the third prince of Tuyuhun, Marshal Tiance?"
The sun rose to the mid-heaven, Tang Jun waved the command flag, and 2,000 people came up to take over the task, and continued to shoot arrows at Taniguchi.
The Tuyuhun people were already numb, so they simply huddled there with their shields on their backs, and didn't even bother to fight back.
Another bow and arrow attack in the afternoon, the Tang people were thunderous and rainy, and they only stood far away to shoot arrows, never really getting close to Nebo to grab the pass.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Tang Jun was mobilizing troops again, and seemed to be preparing to change people and continue shooting arrows.
"It's getting dark today, the Tang people don't eat anymore? Don't they plan to sleep? Or do they have too many arrows?" Fu Yun yawned, patted his butt, and was about to get up and go back to the camp. It was so boring.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the valley.
There was a faint sound of horns.
Fu Yun got up and looked over there, but saw nothing.
"what happened?"
Just at this time, the Tang army in front of the valley also let out a high-pitched howl, seeming to respond to that side with a unique rhythm.
Then, Fu Yun saw all the Tang troops in front of the valley rushing up.
A real rain of arrows all over the sky, with wild arrows bombarding.
There are also countless sturdy Tang soldiers in armor and shields, rushing forward with knives and axes.
"Not good, the Tang cavalry has come around!" Fu Yun finally understood, but it was too late, a Tang cavalry had already entered the valley from behind.
