Captain, something is wrong! ”

As the caravan outside the city approached, the team at the gate suddenly realized that something was wrong. The formation of the caravan was disheveled, and the entire caravan was panicked, as if something was chasing behind them.

"Get ready, light the wolf smoke at any time!"

Chang Hu's expression froze, put the helmet on his head on his head, fixed it, and put his right hand on the handle of the horizontal knife.

The soldiers on the tower and at the gates also noticed that something was wrong and secretly remained on guard. At this time, the whole earth began to tremble, and these border soldiers who had experienced a lot of big battles felt the shaking of the earth, and they were also nervous.

Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly appeared on the hillside in the distance, and after a while, these black shadows turned into war horses, and on the war horses were the figures of soldiers.

This can't be a forbidden army, and the army in Lanzhou can't come here without a single greeting.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Close the gates! The team was shouting anxiously.

"Don't close the gates yet, let those caravans enter the city!" Chang Hu interrupted.

"Captain!"

"Didn't you hear my orders?"

Before Chang Hu's words were finished, the caravan people suddenly pulled out their weapons from their horses, at this time, the caravan people were only a few dozen steps away from the city gate, and the soldiers at the city gate also saw the faces of those caravan people, where was the caravan, it was clearly the cavalry of the tribe.

"Hurry up and release the arrows!"

Seeing that the caravan members he wanted to save were actually disguised by the enemy, Chang Hu's face was very ugly, and he hurriedly ordered the soldiers on the city tower to release arrows to cover the soldiers at the city gate to enter the city.

Although the equipment of the border army was inferior to that of the forbidden army, each soldier was equipped with a set of crossbows and a pair of bows.

Crossbows are more effective when defending, while bows are more advantageous when attacking.

In addition to bows and crossbows, other weapons and equipment are very different from the forbidden army, most of the soldiers are equipped with horizontal swords, and there are few horse lances and Mo knives, and even many border troops of the latter are not equipped at all.

Even in the armor, it is not possible to basically cover the whole body like the soldiers of the forbidden army, and the armor of the border army can only protect the vital parts, and the rest is still leather armor.

As one hundred and ten sharp arrows were fired, many of the enemy soldiers pretending to be caravans fell to the ground, and seeing that they had not succeeded, the rest of the people retreated to the rear in embarrassment, away from the range of the Tang army's bows and arrows in Tumen Town.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers at the city gate hurriedly closed the city gate and blocked it from the inside.

"Quick, drumming! Wolf smoke! ”

Chang Hu hurriedly commanded.

With Chang Hu's order, on the beacon tower not far away, billowing wolf smoke rose up, and the dull drum sound sounded immediately, and the soldiers of Tumen Town, who were still training or resting, put down what they were doing, quickly put on their armor and took their weapons, and then assembled.

And the merchants and people in the city also began to pack up their things and go back to their houses to hide.

Tumen Town is an upper town, and since the return of the Six Valleys, the caravans from Lanzhou have basically passed through Tumen Town.

From here to Liangzhou City, it is only a hundred and thirty miles away, and at the speed of a caravan, it can be reached in two days under normal circumstances.

Therefore, it was also relatively prosperous, and at first there were only a few dozen families here, and most of them were Tibetan, Wenmo, Uighur and other mixed people. Now there are hundreds of households here, thousands of people, plus there are 800 border troops here, and among the military towns under the jurisdiction of Liangzhou, the prosperity and population are also in the forefront.

As the wolf smoke was lit and the army was assembled, a middle-aged man wearing Mingguang armor walked over, followed by a group of officers and soldiers, who were the chief and deputy generals of Tumen Town, and Chang Hu's top boss.

"Captain Chang, what's going on?"

The general of Tumen Town came to the city tower and immediately asked.

"Back to the town, it is very likely that the Liugu Department has betrayed the Tang Dynasty!" As he spoke, Chang Hu pointed to the cavalry in the distance that was gradually showing its figure.

By the time the soldiers of Tumen Town were assembled, the army of outsiders who were not good at it was already less than three hundred steps away from the city wall, just outside the range of Tumen Town's bow and crossbow.

"That's at least six or seven thousand cavalry, right?" The deputy town general next to him swallowed his saliva.

"What do these Rokutani people want to do? Do you really want to rebel? Just his 40,000 troops? A lieutenant next to him hesitated.

"Forty thousand troops is a lot. The Right Shenwu Army was transferred back to quell the rebellion of Xuanwu, and the Zuo Shence Army was left in the forbidden army in Hexi, which may not be able to deter these nomads.

I'm afraid that Rokuya is not the only one who rebels, and with their style, they won't be so risky. The town general analyzed.

"What do they mean?"

"General, it won't be the Ganzhou Uighurs, right?" Chang Hu has also been in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate for a few years, so he naturally knows the current situation in Hexi.

Under the gaze of everyone, the town general hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Very likely!" Only if the Ganzhou Uighurs united with the Rokugu tribe would the Rokugu tribe dare to make trouble, otherwise the Liugu tribe would not have sent troops so rashly.

If this is the case, we may have to be prepared to hold out for a long time, and it is very likely that we will not have reinforcements here for a short time.

How much grain is left in Tumen Town? ”

"It's enough for the entire Tumen Town to eat for half a year!"

"Half a year? It should be enough! We won't hold on for that long, unless the Rokuya tribe is willing to invest tens of thousands of people to attack us, they won't be able to get in.

He commanded that he should go down and gather together the old and young women and children in the city, and that the people of the city should be strictly examined, so that no one from the six grains would be mixed in. The town general immediately commanded.

This town general came out of the Right Tiance Army, and he was just a school captain at the beginning. However, he is not from a martial arts background, nor is he a son of a powerful eunuch, he has no background in the army, and his own ability is not outstanding, so it is difficult to be promoted in the forbidden army.

So he finally chose to quit the forbidden army and applied for transfer to the border army, because going to the border army can be promoted to a whole level. So he went from a captain of the forbidden army to a general of the border army.

Of course, the salary of this general is not as good as that of the forbidden army, but it is higher than the captain of the forbidden army. Moreover, Tumen Town is located on a major trade route, and there is a lot of oil and water, so he has no regrets. Recommended reading tv//

Fortunately, he has only been a town general for a short time, and his bloodiness has not been worn away, and he has been fighting everywhere with the Right Tiance Army before, and he is also a person who has seen the world. Don't look at the thousands of troops of the Rokutani tribe outside the city, but as long as there are no siege equipment and no tenfold army, the Rokutani tribe does not want to attack it, he is naturally not afraid.

Perhaps, if you hold Tumen Town, it is not impossible to get promoted after the war.

After giving the order, the town general went down the castle tower, because the Rokutani army outside the city had no intention of attacking.

But it's also normal, the sneak attack failed, and the cavalry was relied on to attack the city?

Therefore, after the failure of the sneak attack, the thousands of cavalry outside the city gave up the attack, but began to dismount and rest two miles away from Tumen Town, and divided their troops to block another city gate of Tumen Town.

For the encirclement of the Rokuya Division, the town general didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't have the idea of running out of the city anyway. He is not stupid, he still has a chance to survive in the city, and if he escapes out of the city, he is not sure that he will be able to outrun the cavalry of the Rokuya Division.

And as a deserter, his life is over.

Although Tumen Town is surrounded by the Rokuya Division, relying on the wolf smoke, Tumen Town has already passed the news out.

Since Tumen Town was not far from Liangzhou City, it took less than an hour for Liangzhou City to learn of the emergency military information from Tumen Town.

However, the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate did not immediately send troops to reinforce it, because in the past two days, most of the military towns under the jurisdiction of Ganzhou, Suzhou, Liangzhou, and Lanzhou have lit wolf smoke, and for a time the wolf smoke in Hexi was everywhere.

As the general of Tumen Town guessed, this was not an accident, but a long-planned rebellion.
