The war horse neighed in grief and surged forward, escaping with the luck of the dragon.

However, the Gaochang people behind him couldn't dodge, and they were knocked over in a moment. The knights on the chain horses, wielding iron spears, constantly harvested the lives of the Gaochang people.

The most pitiful were the infantry behind the cavalry, and the width of the front of the 12 groups of Iron Floating Massacre was more than 100 meters. Within this range of more than 100 meters, the infantry of those Gaochang people were first knocked down by the Iron Floating Tu, and then trampled by the horses' hooves. Even if they dodged the trampling of the first row of Iron Floats, there were still two rows waiting for them in the back.

To deal with these infantry, the Tiefutu didn't even bother to wave the iron spear, as long as they directly crushed them, they were basically eliminated.

The warriors of Gaochang Kingdom, in the face of such a terrifying weapon, were scattered one by one, and they only hated their parents for giving birth to two legs for themselves. There were also a few brave warriors, wielding scimitars and slashing at the Iron Float. However, their scimitars slashed at the thick armor of Tiefutu like a tickle, and then he himself flew into the air.

Just as the Iron Float was attacking, the kidnappers and horses on both sides of the steppe people also took the opportunity to attack. They slashed down on either side the remnants of the enemy who had narrowly escaped the impact of the Iron Float.

The people of Gaochang were basically frightened, and they desperately fled towards the city.

Fortunately, the Iron Float only hit a few hundred steps, and because of the excessive physical exertion, it stopped. Some of the Gaochang people escaped into the city by luck.

The entire battle process, from the time Tiefutu launched the charge to the time when it stopped advancing, lasted only a few minutes. However, in these few minutes, the Gaochang people lost nearly a thousand people, and the soldiers were also frightened, and they no longer had the ability to attack.

Just like in later movies, after the protagonist has cleaned up the enemy, a large number of police officers arrive.

At this time, Sima Jiong appeared with reinforcements.

It's really not their fault. Sima Jiong received an order to show up to save Ashinaqing when he was in danger.

When the army is marching, it is necessary to send not only sharp soldiers in the front, but also scouts in the rear to prevent the enemy from following behind. Sima Jiong couldn't be found by Ash Naqing following her. So his men could only follow them ten miles away, and then send scouts to follow them secretly.

At the beginning of the battle in the north of the city, the scouts sent by Shi Ma Jiong could not see it. When he saw a large number of enemy troops coming out of the city, he realized the danger and hurriedly ran back to report the letter to Sima. He ran back to this is ten miles, Sima Jiong received the news and hurried with people and horses, and it was ten miles again.

Therefore, by the time they arrived, the battle was over.

Although Ashina Qing and Ashina Kuncang defeated the Gaochang people, they only had 500 people left, and they were unable to attack the city. Seeing Sima Jiong's arrival, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Although Ash Naqing had already guessed Sima Jiong's intention, she still wanted to hear him tell him the reason for their arrival.

Sima Jiong said: "County Lord, the prince is worried about your safety, so let the ministers secretly follow you and provide you with protection when you need it most." The prince's heart is so fine. He shook his head and shook his head in admiration.

Ashinaqing's heart felt warm, and her eyes were moist. She didn't want Sima Jiong to see her expression, so she twisted her head to the side. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself. Then he turned his head and said:

"General Sima, you came just in time, let's attack the city together."

At this time, it was already past 10 o'clock in the morning.

Sima Jiong sent 500 cavalry to make a detour to the north gate to block the enemy's retreat.

He said to Ashinaqing: "County Lord, it seems that you can't beat the city before noon. In order to avoid the prince's worry, the minister suggested sending someone to report the situation here to the prince. ”

Ash Naqing said, "Okay, you can send someone back." Tell the prince that I will definitely bring down this city. ”

Outside the south gate, Ashina Qing sent people to persuade him to surrender again. This time, she added a requirement to hand over the murderer of Ashina He Gan to the conditions she proposed.

Lu Zhiyong fled back to the city, feeling that although the enemy's Iron Float was powerful, it also had its weakness, that is, the number was small. He believed that the number of his troops was still higher than that of the enemy, and that he only needed to spread out his troops and surround them on all sides. It would be difficult for the enemy's Iron Float to play its role.

Therefore. He also wanted to organize his men and horses to go out of the city to fight again.

But all the officers and men under his command were frightened, and when they heard that the battle with the enemy would continue, the soldiers were all as pale as dirt, and no one dared to agree to go out of the city with him to fight.

At this moment, enemy reinforcements arrived. Lu Zhiyong had no choice but to completely give up the idea of defeating the enemy army. It was now clear to him that he would not be able to take the inhabitants with him to the Uighurs. So, he planned to flee with his cronies himself.

His cronies were the cavalry he had brought with him from the county of the field, and after a few battles, there were now less than 200 men left.

He consulted briefly with the officers among them, and decided to flee through the north gate at once.

At this time, Sima Jiong's cavalry had not yet arrived at the north gate.

When Lu Zhiyong and others rushed to the north gate, they saw the Ningrong County Commander standing in front of the gate, and he led hundreds of people to block the gate, not allowing him to leave, it seemed that he was going to sacrifice him to protect the people in the city.

Lu Zhiyong wanted to rush out, but those people also had weapons in their hands, and he knew that Tang Jun would not spare him, so he reluctantly pulled out his saber and committed suicide with a horizontal sword.

Subsequently, the county commander of Ningrong County, with the civil and military officials in the city, carried the head of Lu Zhiyong, and surrendered the city.

Sima Jiong immediately sent a second group of messengers to report to Li You.

Besides, Li You, worried about Ashinaqing's safety, personally brought 3,000 men and horses to help, and not long after he walked out, he met the people and horses of the White Tiger, so he took them with him to march together.

At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, he saw the messenger sent by Sima Jiong, and he was relieved.

Besides, Hou Junji commanded the Tang army to surround Gaochang City, only to find that Gaochang City was far more difficult to attack than they imagined.

Gaochang is rich in yellow clay and purple clay, which is very sticky, and when building the city wall, willow willow was added to it. Such an effect is equivalent to reinforced concrete. Coupled with the drought and lack of rain here, the walls were built unusually strong.

The city wall of Gaochang is as high as three zhang, the width of the top reaches 5 meters, and a large number of clay blocks are piled up on it, each weighing 8 catties, thrown from above, the ladder can be broken.

At this time, there were more than 23,000 soldiers and civilians, 3,000 soldiers, and tens of thousands of young and middle-aged men. Lu Wentai has been operating here for decades, and a large amount of supplies have been stored in it, enough to be consumed by the soldiers and civilians in the city for more than a year.

Lu Wentai had already sent a messenger for help, and he was determined to hold the city and wait for help from the Western Turks.

Hou Junji and Gao Yong organized two sieges of the city, which were unsuccessful, and they lost hundreds of men and horses.

Hou Junji saw that he couldn't defeat Gaochang City for a while, so he sent someone to send a letter to Li You, asking him to bring craftsmen to make siege equipment, and at the same time divided his troops to attack the surrounding counties.

On this day, Li You led the army to the city of Gaochang. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} ", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chatting about life, looking for confidants~
