Outside the city, three days have passed, and there is still no intention of surrendering in the city.

"Have the Uighurs in the city not surrendered?" Xue Atan asked.

"Nope!"

"Then give the order to attack! This group of Uighurs still wants to resist stubbornly! Xue Atan sneered.

"General, after breaking the city, really let Yan Qi destroy the city!" Someone next to him hesitated.

"It was they who did not surrender, but General Ben persuaded him to surrender. As for this kind of rough work, let Zhongyunbu do it, they will be happy to do it. ”

With Xue Atan's order, the 12 Tiance cannons slowly pushed towards Yanqi City and stopped three hundred steps away from Yanqi City.

When they saw the 12 Tiance cannons, the defenders on the city wall also panicked.

Who knew that Tang Jun actually brought such a big killing weapon.

The defenders hurriedly went to report to Ibn, "Amir, the Tang army outside the city has begun to attack!" ”

"Attack? Then keep it! Ibn was also irritated at this time.

"Emir, the Tang army has trebuchets, the last general counted them, there are twelve of them, we can't hold it!"

"What? Does the Don Army have trebuchets? Ibn was shocked.

He originally thought that the Tang army did not have siege equipment, so he had the confidence to hold it before the reinforcements rushed back, but this Tang army suddenly drilled out of the siege equipment.

"Boom!"

Just then, a loud bang came from outside.

Everyone hurriedly came to the high place, and saw a large number of stone bullets flying from outside the city, directly hitting the city wall or the buildings in the city.

This earth-shattering movement frightened the soldiers and civilians in the city a lot, and a stone bullet fell, and ordinary houses were directly smashed out of a big hole.

There are wails everywhere!

At the same time as the Tiance artillery attacked, a large number of Right Shence troops and Zhongyun cavalry dismounted one after another, holding ladders and began to attack the city.

Under the double blow of Tiance cannons and crossbow arrows, the defenders in the city suffered heavy losses, and when a ladder was set up on the city wall, a large number of soldiers began to climb up the tower.

At the beginning, the defenders were still able to resist, and as the Tang army intensified its offensive, many Tang soldiers killed the tower.

There were not many defenders in Yanqi City, and most of them were civilians who had been improvised and armed.

Soon more and more Tang troops climbed the tower, and the tower began to fall.

"Bang!"

When the city gate was smashed open by the Tang army, a large number of cavalry began to rush into the city.

And so began a massacre!

In particular, the Zhongyun cavalry, with Xue Atan's intentional connivance, began to burn and loot.

There are tens of thousands of people in the city, and if they are kept, it will be an unstable factor for Datang for a short time.

By borrowing the hands of Zhongyun's cavalry and killing these people, it will be easier for Datang to control here.

"General, in the palace ahead, there are Uighur nobles who have surrendered to our army!"

"Surrender? I'm talking about destroying the city, killing it! We don't have that much food! Xue Atan said lightly.

The visitor hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes! ”

With Xue Atan's order, even the Right Shence Army began to slaughter, but most of them were older and men.

Young women were not killed, including small children.

Seeing that Yanqi City had become a bag, Xue Atan didn't have much interest.

Leaving behind a few thousand and wounded soldiers, he led the remaining 20,000 men and began to fight northeast, the heart of the Western Uighurs --- the city of Xizhou.

However, he didn't know how many defenders there were in Xizhou City, but at this time he either stayed in Yanqi, or went to Qiuzi, or went to Xizhou.

Of the three choices, he chose to go to the Western State.

Although the Western State may have a lot of defenders, the gains are even greater.

There were also many people who took advantage of the chaos to escape from Yanqi City, including the emir of Ibn .

Before the city was broken, he fled to Xizhou with several hundred cavalry.

Knowing that the Tang army was chasing behind him, he was so frightened that he ran to Xizhou non-stop, not caring whether the war horses under his command could hold on.

If you are fast, you will live, and if you are slow, you will die!

It is impossible for Ibn not to understand this truth!

The news that Yanqi was broken by the Tang Army was not known to Xizhou first, but to Qiuzi.

Hearing this news, Qiuzi was shocked, but he didn't expect the Tang army to break through Yanqi, so that their connection with Xizhou would be cut off.

Similarly, Khotan also knew the news, which undoubtedly boosted the morale of the Khotanese army, and in an engagement, the Qiuzi cavalry was severely damaged.

In this engagement, Khotanese gave full play to the advantages of Tang-style infantry, maintaining a careful formation in the field, which could withstand the frantic attacks of nomadic cavalry, and often directly launched siege battles.

In this battle, Qiuzi lost tens of thousands of cavalry.

Although Qiuzi is stronger than Yanqi and the previous Yizhou, the loss of tens of thousands of cavalry is still a bit of a big loss.

In addition, after Yanqi was broken by the Tang army, Qiuci directly retreated to Qiuci City, and did not take the initiative to meet the Khotanese army.

The Khotanese army led by Wei Chi was naturally unrelenting, and wanted to capture Qiuzi in one fell swoop, and also ordered people to report the news and let the country send more troops.

Originally, Wei Chi wanted to jointly occupy the Tang army in Yanqi, but he learned that the main force of the Tang army went to Xizhou.

Upon hearing this news, Wei Chi was obviously a little disappointed, and he could only pin his hopes on Brother Wang's side to send tens of thousands of additional reinforcements and bring siege equipment.

On the side of the main forces of the two sides, because Fu Gulin was frightened by the Zuo Shence army, he did not send troops to surround and kill the Zuo Shence army, which did not have many troops.

In this way, the Tang army was given a chance, and then Liu Kui led the remaining 70,000 troops to arrive at Sawada Temple.

At this time, Baozhuang, more than 100 miles west of Sawada Temple, had an army of nearly 130,000 Uighurs, while the Tang army had more than 80,000 troops at Sawada Temple.

Looking at it this way, there was a disparity in strength, but the morale of the Tang army was like a rainbow, while the morale of the Uighurs was not so high because of the defeat in the first battle.

"Servant Khan, how is this battle fought? We have been waiting here for several days, and the main forces of the Don Army have arrived.

I knew that I should have killed it in one fell swoop a few days ago and wiped out that Tang army! ”

After staying in Baozhuang for so many days, watching more and more Tang troops arrive, the people surnamed Wuhu and Ge Lulu were a little dissatisfied.

Fu Gulin was a little unhappy in his heart, but seeing that they were all reinforcements invited by himself, he couldn't say anything, so he could only ask his subordinates, "How many people are from the Tang Army?" ”

"According to the scouts, the Tang army of Sawada Temple may be close to 100,000 people, which is very large. There were cavalry, there were infantry, and there were even weapons that could shoot iron balls from before. ”

"How many?" Hearing that there was that kind of weapon, Fu Gulin hurriedly asked.

"I don't know, the Tang Army is heavily defended, and our people can't get close, in order to find out this news, we have already lost more than a dozen scout teams."

"What kind of weapon can make you value it so much?" Someone next to him said curiously.

"A weapon that can shoot iron balls, you know Ben Khan's heavy cavalry, right? In the face of such weapons of the Tang army, Ben Khan's heavy cavalry could not stop it at all! ”

Hearing that even the thick armor of the heavy cavalry could not stop that kind of weapon, Ge Lulu and the people surnamed Wuhu were a little skeptical.

At this moment, there was a noise in the camp outside, and finally everyone saw a man running in in a mess.
