There was a panic in the city, and in the early hours of yesterday morning, more than a thousand remnants of soldiers who fled back to the city in a hurry brought the news that Iron Blade Sinolo died in an ambush. The eyewitness was the adjutant general Meng Tuke. Mengtu can describe how the Iron Blade Sinoro fell from the horse with an arrow, and how he bravely rescued him, but unfortunately he was intercepted by ** in the process of escaping, and when he fought bravely to kill the enemy, he found that the Iron Blade General was besieged here.

Although there were many loopholes, and some people witnessed the Iron Blade General being cut off by the fierce knife and falling to the ground, no one dared to come out and tell the truth. Who would be stupid enough to tell the truth and seek their own death? Although Mengtu is only a lieutenant general, this person is not easy to mess with. Besides, these people are all fleeing for their lives and returning regardless of the life and death of the Iron Blade General, and they are already guilty, so everyone has to mention this matter again, and they still come up with their own trouble?

Not only did no one debunk it, but some people followed suit. Especially the dozen generals and guards who abandoned the Iron Blade at that time, they all fled in a panic at that time, and they did not help the Iron Blade General at all, if it was known, they would also be dead. Since Meng Tuke made up a lie, why not echo his lie and fool the matter.

The leading generals in the city were in a panic, and they did not carefully investigate the cause of the death of the Iron Blade General. Although there were a few generals who were loyal to Iron Blade, there was no way to find out. And the Iron Blade General is dead, and now ** is about to attack, the most important thing is how to deal with **, and there is no energy to explore the cause of the Iron Blade General's death at this time.

Although there are still more than 30,000 soldiers and horses in the city, the dragons have no leader, and how to defend the city has become a problem. According to Meng Tuke and the soldiers who fled back, there are already pontoon bridges on the river, and there are also a lot of ** in the valley woodland, and the two ** add up to an amazing number. One said that it was 50,000 or 60,000, and the other said that it was 70,000 or 80,000, and after the rumors, it was finally said that there were more than 100,000, which made the soldiers and horses in the city panic all day long, and they didn't know how to deal with it.

Meng Tuke and more than a dozen generals in the army immediately gathered together to discuss countermeasures, and the result of the discussion was that they immediately sent someone to send the news of the death of General Iron Blade and urged reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible. At the same time, he took advantage of the fortified city to hold on to the city, dragging it out day by day, waiting for reinforcements to arrive.

Originally, according to the rules, the deputy city lord Kamikawa knew that Sima Solang Gyatso should be automatically promoted to the commander of the army, and led the whole army to prepare to meet the enemy. But this general Solang Gyatso did everything possible to refrain from leading the army, he was not stupid, and it was not a good task to command the whole army to defend the city at this time. Although he has always dreamed of taking the position of the Iron Blade General, it is not now. Now that the ** army is pressing the border, and the number of rumors has reached more than 100,000, how can this law city be defended? At this time, it is not a glorious thing to command the whole army, but to put the rope loop around his neck, once the city is lost, this black pot will be carried by himself. These generals are obviously unwilling to take responsibility, pushing themselves to the forefront, and letting themselves carry the black pot, which must not be agreed.

The generals tried hard to persuade each other, but Solang Gyatso really had no choice, and suddenly fell to the ground foaming at the mouth and fell unconscious, and the generals were shocked, so they had to let Solang Gyatso's men carry him home. Soon after, news came that General Solang Gyatso was delirious due to a seizure of epilepsy and was unable to lead the army, and asked the generals to nominate the commander of the army themselves.

The generals were stunned, it was obvious that Solang Gyatso was playing tricks and did not want to take responsibility, this guy was as strong as a cow, and he didn't see any sheep epilepsy after playing all night, but he was sick at this time? It's really hateful.

Things are at an impasse, no one wants to pick this head, but in the end, it is Mengtu Ke who makes a suggestion and still uses Solang Gyatso as the head coach, whether he is in the city or not, his identity as the coach cannot escape. The matter of defending the city will be decided by the people together. Anyway, it's not a battle out of the city, just the big army can perform its own duties and defend their own defensive areas. If the city is really unable to hold it, it will be Solang Gyatso who will bear the black pot in the future. Anyway, whether he agrees or not, all the arrangements and the affairs of defending the city are reported to Solang Gyatso's house, and he can't get out of it afterwards.

This proposal was immediately approved by the generals, and since Solang Gyatso was unkind, he could not blame everyone for being unjust, he did not want to take responsibility, and he had to bear this responsibility, and this idea could not be more wonderful. While everyone was satisfied, they couldn't help but admire Mengtuke's yin damage and cunning. It's no wonder that this guy can get the favor of the Iron Blade General, there are really a lot of bad ideas in his stomach.

Although an agreement was reached, the city was actually leaderless, but the generals were also experienced in combat, and they quickly demarcated their own defensive places and coordinated the defense of the city, but they were also in an orderly manner.

In the early morning of April 17, the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses finally came overwhelmingly and attacked the city under the city. All the Tubo generals in the city went up to the city to look down, and when they saw ** like a huge dark cloud spread on the ground, swords and guns like a forest, banners waving, and murderous posture, all the generals secretly gasped.

But anyway? The ducks caught up with the shelves, and at this time they could only face the battle. Tens of thousands of Tibetan soldiers and horses were also ready to meet the enemy, the soldiers on the city were densely standing, and the crossbowmen on the arrow tower were also ready to shoot. More than 100 throwing towers behind the city wall are also ready to fire stone shells to meet the attack of **.

At the right time, the drums in the ** camp rumbled. According to the practice of the two armies fighting, it is necessary to have a verbal persuasion to surrender before the battle. ** Not only did the battalion send out shouting soldiers this time, but they also dragged a flatbed cart behind their horses. On the car lay a humanoid wrapped in a white cloth. The horses were followed by several people who were dragged forward with their hands tied and their heads tilted.

"Listener, the defender of the city of law, in front of you is the Jiannan army led by General Wang Yuan, the envoy of my Tang Dynasty. I, the Tang Dynasty, is about to capture your city, and those who know the times should abandon the city and surrender, and my marshal will make it clear that he can wait for his life. If not, kill after breaking through the city! Several loud-voiced soldiers stood up and shouted under the city.

The city is silent, and no one is on the stubble, because there is no manager. The leading generals were also reluctant to say a word, lest they be seen as a bird.

The soldier shouted three times, but there was no response, and he felt embarrassed. Fortunately, it was just a formality, and I didn't think that I could really take the city by shouting a few words.

"Okay, since you are obsessed, then don't blame my Jiannan army for showing no mercy to you. Before the siege of the city, the corpse of your commander, the Iron Blade Signoro, was returned to you by the orders of my commander. You should know that I am handsome and righteous, and even if you die, I will not insult your corpse. Later, you will send someone to take you back to the city on your own, and our army will never take the opportunity to sneak attack. ”

Only then did the people in the city know that the car was the corpse of the Iron Blade General. Several generals who were loyal to Ironblade Sinoro immediately ordered to send people out of the city to retrieve the corpses, but they did not take the opportunity to attack, and let them drag the corpses back and close the city gates.

The ** soldiers under the city continued to shout before leaving: "My marshal has another thing to explain to you before the battle, your Iron Blade General did die in my ** ambush the night before, but it was not my Tang Dynasty soldiers who really killed your Iron Blade General, but your own people." Some of you abandoned the Iron Blade General in order to escape for your life, not only did not save him from escaping, but instead thought him was a burden and a killer, and this is the cause of your Iron Blade General's death. ”

The Tubo soldiers at the head of the city were in an uproar, although there were many people who knew the truth, but they were only the fish that slipped through the net when they were ambushed that night. Most of the soldiers and generals in the army only listened to Meng Tuke's relays, and did not know the truth.

"Don't listen to their nonsense, this is to disturb our military morale before the war. Someone came, and the strong bow shot them. Mengtu exclaimed.

The Tubo soldiers on the left near the arrow tower immediately prepared to shoot with a strong bow, and the left general Dorjee, who was loyal to the iron-bladed Sinoluo, said in a deep voice: "Mengtuke, why don't you listen to what they have to say?" The two armies were not supposed to shoot the messengers when they were fighting, and it was rude to kill them. ”

Mengtu's official position is not as high as Duoji, but he can't force the order, so he has to snort coldly and keep silent. General Zuo Dorjee shouted in a deep voice to the city: "You Tang people just want to disturb our army's morale, Hugh has to talk nonsense here, and if you want to attack the city, let the horses come, what are you talking about?" ”

The ** soldiers under the city said loudly: "We don't talk nonsense, this is all what your soldiers say, I don't believe you listen to them." ”

**The soldiers shouted at several Tibetan captives whose hands were tied, and the captives stepped forward and looked up at the city and muttered something. **Although the soldiers didn't understand, it was the language of Tibet, but the soldiers and horses of Tubo at the head of the city listened carefully. Moreover, the identity of the Tibetan prisoner who shouted is also familiar to many people, it is a captain of the personal guard under the seat of the Iron Blade General.

"General Dorjee, I saw with my own eyes that Meng Tuke abandoned the Iron Blade General in order to escape for his life, and also cut off the Iron Blade General's hands. The Iron Blade General was trampled to death by a horse, and the murderer was Meng Tuke. I see him standing on top of the tower as if nothing happened, how can you allow a traitor who killed the Iron Blade General to live? ”

These words were sent to the city with the wind, and the Tibetan soldiers in the city were in an uproar. Meng Tuke snatched the bow and arrow from the hand of a soldier next to him, pulled the bow and aimed the arrow at the captain who was talking freely under the city. Seeing this, the ** soldier on the horse hurriedly stretched out his shield to block the top of the captive's head, and the arrow shot on the shield.

Meng Tuke's arrow also proved that what the captive said was true, and General Dorjee glared at Meng Tuke angrily and said: "It turns out that you are the murderer of General Iron Blade, you bastard, a disgusting gopher on the grassland, a fly in the sky of Tibet." ”

Meng Tuke waved his hand and shouted: "No, no, no, don't get me wrong, this is a trick of **, you don't believe their nonsense." ”

"It's very simple, just check the corpse of the Iron Blade General and see if the Iron Blade General's palm has been cut off." Someone suggested.

When Mengtu heard this, his face turned pale, and he rushed down the stairs of the lower city unprepared, intending to escape. Dorjee shouted, "Stop him." ”

A group of soldiers rushed up and grabbed Meng Tuke back, and Meng Tuke jumped to his feet and shouted: "I am not the only one who will not save me, General Duorang, General Sanjik, and everyone who fled for their lives that night, they are all dead and do not save me, why do you rely on my head alone." ”

The two generals who were named were hiding behind the crowd and had nothing to hide at the moment. Dorjee shouted and ordered people to arrest them, but they were willing to be captured, and led their guards to resist, and suddenly the city fell into chaos.

When the city was in chaos, the second round of drums in the ** formation rose again, and in the rumbling of the drums, tens of thousands of ** under the city shouted in unison: "Kill!" Kill! Kill! ”

The sound of shouting and killing resounded throughout the earth, deafening, marching in formation, with neat footsteps, accompanied by the beat of drums, marching to within 300 steps of the city. The siege battle of the Jiannan Army officially began.
