As soon as the city gate was closed, the 10,000 vanguard troops of Tibet outside the city completely cut off hope.

As the shouts of surrender and death sounded, the defeated soldiers of Tibet dropped their swords and guns one after another, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

Tian Dali rushed to two hundred steps in front of the city gate, and when he saw that the enemy army had closed the city gate, he stopped, lined up with his headquarters outside the arrow range, and began to curse.

But there was no movement in Xining City.

The soldiers in the back were gathered and escorted into the camp, Tian Dali's voice was a little hoarse, and seeing that there was still no sign of opening the door to fight, he had to pull out his legs and return to the camp.

At this moment, although it was a scorching summer day, and the head of the city was Chide, Fulai and others, they felt like they had fallen into an ice cave, and no one spoke for half a day.

"10,000 cavalry, just gone?" Chide muttered to himself, his gaze a little glazed.

The vanguard of this 10,000 cavalry is under the command of Chide, and he originally wanted to use this to gain enough voice in the coalition army, who knows......

Fray also came back to his senses and said dejectedly: "That's it, that's it, let's invite Zampu to come and discuss it." ”

……

Budaze was fully armed, led 50,000 cavalry, in the center of Xining City, ready to go.

The shouts of killing in the west of the city came as scheduled. But the shouting stopped abruptly after less than a quarter of an hour. The messengers at the head of the city on the east, south, and north kept coming, and the Xia army outside the city did not make any moves. It made Budaze feel a little puzzled.

Just when he was anxious and wanted to send someone to the west of the city to inquire about the military situation, the person who reported the news from the west of the city could rush to arrive.

When Budaze and his pro-army arrived in the west of the city, their faces were already sinking like water. He learned about the battle in the west of the city halfway through, and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

"Zamp!" Folly and the others came down to the city.

"Go up and see, you tell me in detail, how did you lose!" Budazer did not see it in person, and it was still difficult to accept the news of the rout of the former army.

When everyone re-ascended to the top of the city, Flay saw that Cred was still a little distracted, so he couldn't help sighing, pointed out of the city, and told Budaze about the battle just now.

Describing the battle situation again was undoubtedly an ordeal for Fry, but he still slowly pointed to the various places where the battle was fighting, repeating the battle just now.

Budaze looked at the corpses of the remaining men and horses outside the city and the mess in the battleplace, listened to Fry's story, and couldn't help but shudder when his brain made up the battle situation just now.

"Guard the city gate, let's go back to the marshal's mansion and discuss it again." Budaze was stunned for a long time, and finally only said this sentence.

Back in Shuaifu, everyone is still like frosted eggplant, and no one has the desire to pick up and speak.

Seeing that the morale was so low, Budaze had to speak first: "As far as I know, there is an army called Iron Harrier in Western Xia, and it is said that the attack is invincible. I think that the ironclad cavalry just now is this iron harrier. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, although this iron harrier is strong, it is only three thousand when it is full. If these hundreds of thousands of troops were such killers, wouldn't the Xixia Dog have already leveled the world, why do you need to use tricks to trick us and other leaders to come here. ”

When Budaze said this, Chide reacted, and he slapped him heavily on the thigh: "Damn, I almost scared the Xixia dog, what Zampu said is reasonable, what Zampu said is reasonable!" ”

The crowd shouted in unison, as if this would dispel the fear in their hearts and regain their spirits.

Seeing that the morale had risen slightly, Budaze finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he asked everyone to go back to the camp to appease the officers and men of the army, and not to mess with themselves.

"Generals, I have found ten jars of good wine in the Shuai's mansion, and I invite you to come here for a banquet in the evening." Before the crowd dispersed, Budazar gave one last explanation.

Cred and Fry returned to their respective quarters, where they found their commanders waiting for what to do next.

The fiasco of the vanguard army that left the city this morning is now known to the whole army, and these commanders are powerless to stop the spread of the news. Cred and Forley also knew that the people were panicking at the moment, so they had to repeat Budazze's analysis to comfort their subordinates to defend the city with peace of mind.

"Defend the city, how long will it take?"

"How many days can I eat grain and grass?"

Faced with these questions, Frey, who boasted of being wise and scheming, didn't know how to answer them for a while. And the irascible Chide was even more furious and directly scolded his generals back.

In the evening, a group of generals gathered in the marshal's mansion again, and everyone tacitly agreed not to mention military affairs, and prepared to enjoy the wine and food first.

For this dinner, Budaze slaughtered a yak and prepared a sumptuous meal. When the wine and food were served, Budaze picked up the wine bowl and took turns to salute the generals. Chide and the others were all bowls and dried immediately, and only Flay took a shallow sip.

"Fleish, don't you think the wine is bad?" Buddarze stared at Fry, his tone unkind.

Fu Lai touched his chest with his hand and bowed slightly to Budaze: "Zampu, Fu Lai has always been a shallow drinker, and today for some reason, he has some chest tightness, and he really doesn't dare to drink more." ”

"Come, come, come, if Fry doesn't drink, I'll drink with you!" Cred took the initiative to pick up the wine bowl and found Budaze.

"Zampu, thank you for the wine, I also salute you......"

At first, Budaze also paid attention to Fry's actions, but later, he was also dizzy, and how could he take care of others.

Advertise, the book app I've been using recently, there are many book sources, all books, and fast updates!

Fry really didn't have much appetite, and he only touched the table full of dishes a few times, and then didn't touch it again. Looking at the staggered appearance of everyone, he suddenly remembered a Han sentence in his heart.

There is wine today, drunk today, and tomorrow is sad, and tomorrow is worried.

But can the sorrow of the present really wait until tomorrow?

When Fry returned to the south of the city, he was still uneasy.

The singing outside the city sounded again. In the midst of this burst of singing, Fry's tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

At the time of the dinner, the people had made a little deliberation, and tomorrow they would send 5,000 men and horses out of the city to test the east, south, and north.

Let's see what tomorrow will look like, Fray thought about it for a long time, and finally fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Budaze and a group of generals went to the city, and according to the battle situation discussed last night, each sent 5,000 soldiers and horses out of the city to test it.

In the summer army camp outside the city, they also responded in time and sent troops out of the camp to engage in battle.

Similar to yesterday's battle outside the West Gate, the Xia army in the east, south, and north also sent 1,000 ironclad troops to charge, and two battalions of light cavalry guards.

The same recipe, the same taste, and the same result.

Slightly different from the battle outside the West Gate, the ironclad army on these three sides does not seem to be as strong as yesterday.

Yesterday outside the West Gate, the Xia army broke through 10,000, and the total number of people was only two or three hundred.

In today's battle, the number of Tubo soldiers is smaller, and the Xia army killed is more. Especially in the east and north, after Budazé's rough estimate, the number of Xia troops killed and wounded should have exceeded 1,000.

"Xixia Dog is this iron harrier, it's not a big deal!" Budaze summoned the generals and excitedly reported the results of the battle, as if he had won a great victory.

The crowd echoed in unison.

Seeing that the morale had risen slightly, Budaze took the opportunity to throw out his thoughts: "Slaughter all the cattle and sheep and make them into jerky, and tomorrow the whole army will break through on the fifth watch." ”

Up to now, the Tibetan generals no longer have the illusion of turning defeat into victory, and only the plan to break through is still feasible. As for the breakout side

Budadze suggested that according to the existing position of defending the city, each organized a breakthrough.

Faure's mood was still low, and the record of the 5,000 soldiers and horses he sent today was much stronger than the 10,000 horses he sent yesterday. But the number of Xia troops outside the city was only much more than the number of troops in the city.

Can you really break through?

Even if the breakthrough is successful, how many people will be left who will return to Tibet in the end?

Fry returned to his lodgings and ordered the whole army to slaughter cattle and sheep and prepare for a breakthrough.

After nightfall, the soldiers reported that Cred had come to visit.

Faure hurriedly ran out of the door and invited Chide into the hall.

"General Cred, there must be something important to find me at this time?"

Cred nodded: "Brother Foley, this kid Budaze is not well-intentioned!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The Xia army in the east and north looks like there are many people, but they are actually the weakest. This kid picked soft persimmons and let us gnaw hard bones, how can there be such a reason. ”

"What the general said is very true, but we have already promised it, and it is not good to change ......"

Cred wanted to take Flay to find Budaze, although his idea was somewhat reasonable, but Budaze was so easy to get along with, at this time, if the two of them rashly went to make such a request, they were afraid that they would probably not be able to come back.

Seeing that Flay was dead or alive, Chide couldn't help but be angry, and finally scolded him.

Fry suppressed his anger and coldly served tea to the guests.

As soon as Cred left, Faure felt a headache even more. Originally, he also wanted to join forces with Chide and choose a city gate to break through, but seeing this person like this, he simply didn't mention it.

Husband and wife were originally birds of the same forest, and they flew separately when disaster came.

At the moment of great calamity, both husband and wife must save their lives. Now in this Xining City, Budaze, Chide and others have their own plans, which is really not surprising.

Originally, everyone worked together, and Folly still felt that there was some hope, but now several forces have their own ghosts, how many people can break through successfully, and Folly's heart is becoming more and more bottomless.

If you say that you were 50% sure before, after such a fuss as Cred, I'm afraid that 20% is too much.

The singing outside the city rang out again.

Fry's tossing and turning in the house, unable to sleep, simply took his own soldiers to inspect the city defenses.

When he climbed the city wall, Flai was furious, and eighty percent of the soldiers on duty on the city wall were already snoring loudly.

He had the intention of cutting off a few heads to rectify the military regulations, but thinking about the situation in the past few days, he took this idea back again.

The spirit of the army is so loose......

Folly finally made up his mind!

He summoned a soldier who could speak Chinese, explained it to him, and then dropped a rope from the city wall, allowing the soldier to climb the rope down.

Foley personally guarded the city, and ordered that no soldier should go down the city without other orders.

After the soldiers went down to the city, they immediately rushed to the camp of the Xia army. Half an hour later, the soldiers returned.

After listening to the report of the soldiers, the brows that had been tightly locked were unconsciously relaxed. He ordered his soldiers to go to the Xia army's military camp to surrender the city, originally expecting that the Xia army would offer harsh conditions, such as letting him lead his troops to attack others as a vote.

Who knows, the commander of the Xia army only made a little request and put down the knife and gun.

After thinking about it, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he tore off a piece of his shirt from his body, wrote a letter of allegiance and blood, and let his soldiers re-enter the summer camp.

Half an hour later, the soldiers returned. This time he brought back a letter in which he agreed to accept Fry's surrender and never kill prisoners, and at the end of the letter was a large red seal.
