The afterglow of the setting sun painted the entire golden city with the color of blood, and the south gate slowly opened in a bloody place, and the heavy door leaf only dodged a few feet of gap, and there were stumps and broken arms that fell to the direction of the city gate hole, and they were all Tubo soldiers who died in the city. The reason why so many stumps and severed arms were blocked on the city gate may have been deliberately stacked here for the convenience of the siege.

It took nearly half an hour to clean up the corpses blocked inside and outside the city gate, and the cleared road was still bubbling with dark red blood, and the stench was faintly spreading in the air. Although it was late autumn at this time, when the sun was on the head, the temperature was still not low, and the corpse would rot and stink after two or three days.

The leading team of the Shenwu Army was in two columns, gradually entering the city, and it was not Qin Jin who entered the city first, but the firearms battalion of Qing Xuzi. The firearms battalion has a slightly weaker system, and it has always boasted of the neatness of the queue, because when they stepped into the city with a neat pace and stepped on the rhythmic drum beat, they were really stunned to see the lively Tubo soldiers.

The Tubo soldiers have been killing and fighting on horses all year round, what kind of army has not been seen, only the Shenwu army is an outlier that has never been contacted. People's minds are often like this, the more mysterious the more terrifying, since the Shenwu army was born out of nowhere, it has set an astonishing undefeated record, how can it not make people frightened? In particular, the Tubo soldiers under the command of Yixi Wangbo have lost their former arrogance for the rest of their lives.

Qingxuzi was originally going to be sent over to intercept the rout of Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie's army, but because Ma Xiang Zhong Bajie was defeated too quickly and too suddenly, by the time the firearms battalion arrived at the predetermined position, the Tubo rout had already left first, so they were sent to Jincheng again to hold a ceremony to enter the city.

This ritual is not optional, although Qin Jin will not enter Jincheng in person, it must be controlled within the scope of the Shenwu Army.

The Tubo soldiers suddenly found that the array of firearms battalions that had entered Jincheng in an orderly manner stopped, and everyone untied an iron lump from their waists and threw them into the open space on both sides. Just when they were puzzled by this, they heard loud noises one after another, and the entire south gate of Jincheng fell into a thick white smoke.

This sudden change frightened the Tubo people, they only thought that the Shenwu Army had invited the Shenwu Army to help the Shenwu Army, and they knelt on the ground, put their hands on top of their heads, kept worshipping, and their mouths were still vibrating......

Throwing thunderbolts was a temporary trick added by Qing Xuzi, and he felt that doing so would leave a deeper impression on the Tubo people, so as to completely eliminate their evil intentions.

The loud sound of the thunderbolt and the smoke of gunpowder really frightened Yixi Wangbo, he was originally watching coldly from the city wall, but suddenly saw such a shocking scene, and his body was in a cold sweat, although he didn't believe in any divine soldiers, but he also knew that this must be the invincible unique weapon of the Shenwu Army.

"Report, the Tang Dynasty Qin Dafu sent someone to spread the word, not to enter Jincheng tonight, only camp in the east of the city, Wuli, please agree to meet after sunset. ”

Yixi Wangbo's eyebrows raised, he knew that Qin Jin didn't believe in himself, he was afraid that he would play tricks, and at the same time he felt a kind of humiliation that he had never felt before.

The reason why Qin Jin camped outside the city and let Yixi Wangbo go was because of his intention to understand the priorities.

"Got it, let's go down!"

After Yixi Wangbo learned the news that Qin Jin would not enter the city, he immediately asked people to help him go down to the city, and he didn't want to see the leader of the Shenwu Army who entered the city, but after thinking about it carefully, he was still uncontrollable by curiosity and changed his mind......

When he saw Qing Xuzi, Yixi Wangbo was startled, thinking that he would see a burly Tang general, but he thought that he was a Taoist priest with extremely sloppy clothes and appearance. Yixi Wangpo and Trisong Detsen are both Theravada Buddhism that has been passed down from the poisonous country, and they have a natural awe of the religion itself, of course, they know that there is a religion called "Tao" in the Tang Dynasty of Middle Earth, and they can't help but wonder when they think of the shocking scene just now, plus the speculation of the generals about the divine soldiers and gods.

Qingxuzi was very kind on his face, and after making a simple self-introduction and salute, he bluntly said that he planned to arrange for the soldiers to rest immediately.

"After a day and a night of driving, the soldiers are very tired, and they entered the city tonight for nothing else, just for hot soup and hot food, and a good night's sleep!"

After that, Qing Xuzi pretended to laugh heroically. But these words fell on Yixi Wangbo's ears, it was a completely different feeling, don't look at the other party's deliberate lightheartedness, in fact, he wanted to take over the control of Jincheng from Tubo.

Of course, Yixi Wangbo refused to obediently tie his hands, if he completely handed over the control of Jincheng, wouldn't he put himself on the chopping block and become Tang Bing's fish and meat?

However, since the other party didn't say it explicitly, he was happy to pretend to be confused.

"The real person just needs to enter the city, the good wine and meat have already been prepared, and the banquet can be held as soon as the noble army arrives......"

Qingxuzi put away his smile and said seriously:

"There is still a reluctant invitation to enter the city, and I hope that the deputy minister will not refuse!"

Yixi Wangbo's face was a little ugly, he couldn't imagine that Qingxuzi's speech was so unpredictable, obviously he was talking about this hot soup and hot food a moment ago, and the next sentence was about to turn his face.

"That's what the real person commands!"

Yixi Wangbo once sent an envoy to the Tang Dynasty and lived in Chang'an for a few years, and he also had a good understanding of Taoism, so he gave enough respect to Qingxuzi everywhere.

Qing Xuzi smiled nonchalantly:

"Although Doctor Qin did not enter the city tonight, he still specially explained that the land of the Tang Dynasty must be ruled by the Tang Dynasty army, and this is the seal of entering the city and county...... I also hope that the vice minister will not be embarrassed by the poor road......"

Yixi Wangbo's face was even more embarrassed, he entered Jincheng, where did he confiscate any seals? Qing Xuzi said this is nothing more than to hand over the control of the four gates of Jincheng, east, west, north and south. He asked himself that it was more than enough to kill these Shenwu troops who entered the city with the remnants of the city, but there were more Shenwu troops behind this old man, so it was extremely unwise to do so.

"As the real person said, I'll arrange it now and do the handover as soon as possible......"

His plan was to delay as much as possible, as long as he reached an agreement with Qin Jin, after leaving Jincheng, it didn't matter whether he handed over control or not. Qingxuzi seemed to see through Yixi Wangbo's thoughts, and directly waved his hand to interrupt him.

"There's no need to be so troublesome, the south gate, it's just nearby, the deputy minister ordered your people to withdraw, and the poor people made up for it, and the rest of the doors were concocted in the same way, so what's so difficult?"

"Since a real person has a word, obey his fate!"

The firearms battalion that Qing Xuzi brought into Jincheng was about 4,000, and in addition to taking over the city defense, he also had another important purpose in entering the city this time, that is, to find out how many people were left in Yixi Wangbo. On the occasion of changing guards, it is naturally easy to find out how many remnants of the Tubo people still have.

The change of defense at the south gate alone, the situation found far exceeded Qing Xuzi's expectations, all the Tubo soldiers he could see were wounded, and there were only more than 1,000 soldiers stationed near the entire south gate. Based on this, it can be inferred that under the same circumstances as the rest of the gates, plus the same number of reserve soldiers, the remaining remnants of the Tibetan army in the city will not exceed 8,000 at most.

According to the previous information, the men and horses led by Yixi Wangbo were around 50,000, and he did not expect that after two days and three nights of fierce fighting in Jincheng, there were less than 10,000 people left.

Although it is tragic, this is also the result that Doctor Qin expects. Qingxuzi did not hide his inner emotions, and the smile on his face was also full of malice to Yixi Wangbo.

However, Yixi Wangbo was really weak and did not have enough energy and physical strength to monitor and accompany him, so he was carried back to the big house set up as the marshal hall of the Chinese army by his entourage.

At this time, the young Zanpu Trisong Dezan was anxiously waiting for his news, he must not reveal his true identity in front of the Tang Dynasty people, if the Tang Dynasty people knew that he was in Yixi Wangbo's army, then it was still unknown whether he could return to Tubo.

Seeing that the deputy prime minister was carried to the couch, Trisong Dezan stepped forward a few steps and asked with concern:

"How's the vice-minister's body, can you still hold on?"

Yixi Wangbo, who had taken off his disguise, was already exhausted, and said weakly:

"It is important to say that Zan Puwan cannot be spied on by Tang Bing. The Shenwu army is already taking over the city defense, and I will go to the Qin Jin camp to meet him after sunset. ”

Trisong Dezan patted the edge of the couch and said hatefully:

"As long as I can return to Tibet, I, I can agree!"

The beard on Yixi Wangbo's lips trembled slightly.

"Claim the courtiers, pay tribute, and cut the land...... Both?"

At that time, the countries of the Western Regions will definitely fall back to the Tang Dynasty, and the previous years of taking advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty will all fall short.

Tri Song Detsen did not hesitate at all, he had already thought that if he could not return to Tibet alive, all this would mean nothing to him. Only by returning to Tibet alive can it be possible to regain what was lost.

"The minister knows!"

Yixi Wangbo closed his eyes, muddy tears gushed out of the cracks in the corners of his eyes, his heart was self-reproachful and contradictory at this time, and he was even asking himself if it was wrong to take back the power that Zampu should have at this cost.

It's a pity that there is no turning back from the bow, all the pride and courage are ruthlessly and helplessly abandoned by him today, and there is only one purpose, that is, to return to Tibet alive. The Guanzhong of the Tang Dynasty became their place of failure, and this shame will always be remembered, and if there is a comeback in the future, he will definitely claim it back a thousand times and a hundred times.

After sunset, hundreds of cavalry escorted a cart out of the north gate of Jincheng, which was also the only gate where the Tubo soldiers had not had time to exchange defenses with the Shenwu Firearms Battalion.
