In the first trench, the Xifan soldiers who rushed in were already congested, and they endured the torture of barbs and bamboo sticks, threw their torches on the fence, drew their swords and slashed, or confronted the long lances that the Tang soldiers stabbed out of the fence.

After pushing to cut the fence, the Xifan warriors in heavy armor successively killed the Tang soldiers in the three barriers outside the north gate of the city, and began to burn the siege equipment and vehicles stationed in them, but found that their number was very small, so they continued to attack the second trench.

As a result, in this trench, the Tang soldiers who retreated into the camp began to throw "earth-shattering thunder", and the black iron balls that burned the fuse rolled down the slope of the trench one after another, and then the soldiers realized why there was no water in this trench, and the dull explosions were accompanied by dancing iron slag debris and red orange poisonous smoke: although the chain mail and mole armor on many of the killed soldiers were pierced layer upon layer, they were also blown up, revealing bloody wounds, crawling and rolling in pain in the smoke.

I finally climbed up and lined up, but found that behind the barracks and fences, most of the soldiers of the Dingwu Army, the Yining Army, and the Fengyi Army had lined up a dense counter-raid lineup - Gao Yue and Wei Gao's siege tactics were "false in the front and real in the back", with stragglers and archers monitoring in the front, and heavy troops in the back.

The elite soldiers who climbed up noticed that the Tang army on the opposite side was not frightened by the "results" of their breakthrough through the first trench, but arranged a strict battle formation, with sword and card players on the first floor, followed by soldiers with crow-neck guns, and those on both sides and behind the sides were armed with boring rakes and rockets, and the last ones were all Xichuan's strong crossbowmen.

After the shield car was perforated, the Dingwu army gunners took the lead in the whining and whining brass horn and began to fire a volley;

Then the boring rakers began to shoot rockets;

Countless bullets and fiery snakes were overwhelmingly shot into the vanguard of the Western Tibetan army.

At the same time, the "Qiu Niang" rocket slippers and strong crossbowmen in the rear team of the Tang Army also began to shoot dense large rockets and crossbow arrows.

The range of the big rocket is the farthest, directly hitting the head of the soldiers and horses of the Xifan rear team dominated by Yong, and the fireworks that soar into the sky continue to burn, most of them are unarmoured, and many people are wrapped in fire, screaming and fleeing to the city, or jumping into a trench full of bamboo sticks and thistles, because there is water there.

The Tang army camps on both sides of the salient and the tiger cannons that were moved out began to fire out one after another under the cover of the shield cart, carrying the strong wind of death to hit the "flank" position of the Xifan army.

At this time, the vanguard of the two armies, the tiger and leopard fur warriors of the Western Tibetan side, and the jumping soldiers of the Tang family, quickly began to fight, and the cruel white-knuckle battle passed only a short moment, and the rear team and the flank of the first rout of the Tibetan army soon couldn't parry, the formation was in chaos, regardless of the reprimands of the cage officials and Cao Chang, they began to turn their heads, and retreated to Taideng City, while the Tang army held long knives and crow-neck guns, and launched a charge like a mountain and a sea.

As a result, the second trench suddenly turned into a flesh and blood purgatory, and the soldiers who tried to escape fell into it one after another, some were trampled by their own people, and some were assassinated by the Tang army who rushed over, and planted in it, until the corpse was almost level with the trench, the Tang army waded through it as if it were on the ground, and continued to pursue at the city gate.

The beggars on the enemy platform covered up and shouted to reorganize the formation, but to no avail, they could only rush out of the north gate with 300 tribal soldiers, resist to the death with their backs to the city wall, and cover the other soldiers who swarmed into the city like a tide.

The Tang army fought with countless spears, rakes, and long knives, begging to hide and cover heavy armor, fighting bloody and hard, and nailed to the city gate, not retreating.

At this time, the two large bronze cannons of the Tang Army's "Dongfeng Wu" and "Dongfeng Lu" outside the east gate roared coldly: two stone bullets hit the tower of Taideng City and a section of the city wall, setting off huge smoke and dust.

Before the soldiers guarding it began to rush to repair, the gunners behind the two large bronze cannons broke the rhythm of firing a round for half an hour, and suddenly refilled the divine thunder medicine, and then used the rotating rod to smoothly push the other two stone bullets that had been wrapped in Shu brocade silk into the cannon chamber where the heat had not dissipated.

It was another earth-shaking loud noise, which was the "rapid fire" of the Tang Army.

The two more stone bombs made persistent efforts, and directly collapsed the east wall of Taideng City, a section seven or eight feet wide: the towers and war sheds on it completely collapsed and shattered, and then ignited a fire, which quickly spread to all around.

"Taideng City has fallen, the warriors of the edict, rush!" In the south of the city, seeing this scene, Yi Mu Xun immediately made a decision, raised the flag and yak, and rushed to the front was the "white-clothed lifeless army" attached to the Nanzhao, which was all barbarians with a lower degree of civilization, wearing white linen shorts, naked topless, nostrils pierced, holding terrible broadswords and poisonous arrows in their hands, howling and swarming forward, began to ride the ladder, forgetting to climb the city wall.

"The Dingwu Army can't be left behind!" At this time, at the east gate of the Tang army barracks, Hao Xuan, who had already surrendered, gritted his teeth, held a bright long knife in both hands, and rushed out first, and after stepping over the trench, he rushed to the east gate of the fiery Taideng City.

Taking this as an example, the Dingwu troops of the rest of the battalions also shouted loudly and spontaneously attacked.

At the collapse of the city wall of the east gate, there were embers burning everywhere, Hao Jue's eyes were cracked, he waved his long knife, and killed several soldiers who were crushed under the rubble and half dead, stabbed the blade into their heads, turned it fiercely, and then pulled it out with bones, blood, and brains, and after the knife was blunt, he grabbed an anchor axe and slashed like crazy.

At the north gate, after half an hour of hard fighting, the soldiers were killed and wounded, and they could only retreat to the door, shouting that the guards would shoot the gate stone and fall, hoping to stop the pace of the Tang army.

However, at this time, the south gate and the east gate have fallen, and the soldiers on the north gate city wall have long lost the courage to hold on, and have long since fled, and no one has responded at all.

In the whole Taiden city, the generals and soldiers of Xifan and their families were fighting for the West Gate, and the screams of the people who were squeezed to death and trampled to death were terrifying.

In the backyard of the palace fort, the beggar covered the wooden tablets for Zampu and dug them out with a sword again, tied them with straw ropes, and when he walked to the vestibule, the fortress wall was already full of Tang soldiers, shouting to him: "Isn't this the general of Xifan?" Hurry up and submit! ”

Begging for a band to cover the word, he didn't expect that a surprise attack out of the city would bring destruction to Taideng City, "The warriors of Dafan, you must no longer use the old methods to fight against the Tang army, I hope my death can wake up Zampu and wake up all the people......" Thinking of this, the desperate Beggar Zang Sha took off his hood, and then in front of many Tang soldiers who surrounded him, he leaned on the pillar, pulled out his sword, and swept his neck with great magnificence!

Among the lofty mountains of the plateau, Shang Jiezan's heart sank suddenly, and he heard a long mournful roar.

At the end of the mountain, the eagle with mighty and beautiful feathers fell, and continued to fall, until it disappeared into the cliff, never to be seen again.

"Begging to cover my son......" Shang Jiezan covered his face and sobbed.
