In Songzhou City, on the square outside the Zhichong Mansion, more than 3,000 officers and soldiers stood in unison.

In the Zhichong Mansion, more than 20 officers and soldiers were sitting on the ground with wine trays, staring at the man in the center with solemn expressions.

The man in the middle, holding the wine in his hand, first bowed to the sky, and then saluted the people around him: "I, Han Wei, have been trusted by Your Majesty to serve as the governor of Songzhou for five years, and now that Songzhou is trapped, we will take the lead and resist the attack of these Tibetan thieves!" Die without remorse. ”

After speaking, the man named Han Wei raised his head and drank the wine in his hand and threw the wine bowl to the ground.

After everyone in the courtyard finished drinking, they smashed the wine bowl to the ground like Han Wei, shattering it into countless pieces.

"Kill the thieves! Kill the thieves! ”

After everyone shouted in unison, they followed Han Wei out of the palace and rode towards the city gate.

After the troops came to a mountain pass, the originally calm ravine suddenly shouted to kill the heavens, followed by tens of thousands of Tibetan soldiers from hidden places in all directions, each carrying a big knife.

The two sides fought, and although the Tang army was brave and good at fighting, it was difficult to exert its full strength in this small space.

The horse has even become a burden.

"Breakout! Evacuate! ”

I don't know who shouted, all the Tang Army turtles shrank in a circle, escorting Han Wei to break out towards the front.

"There are enemy troops in the rear!"

The scout cavalry sent out on horseback to report.

Eight miles ahead, a vanguard appeared. Han Wei calmly ordered, "The formation is turning!" ”

The order was conveyed layer by layer by the galloping herald cavalry.

The huge lineup of the army began to fluctuate like a current.

The time was calculated very accurately, and when a large number of Tibetan troops appeared in view, the front of the Tang Dynasty army was just aimed at the swarming Tibetan army.

At the same time, the entire Tang army was in chaos, faintly visible, and the sound of killing shook the sky.

Almost all of the Tibetans were infantrymen, all of them were stout and ferocious, half taller than the Tang army, and with infinite strength, they walked like flying. Rushing up with such a shout, the momentum is extremely terrifying. If you don't prepare in advance, you will be really scrambling and frightened. And they were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, they had already rushed to the front of Han Weijun.

The Tang Dynasty army, which had been prepared for a long time, was not in a hurry, and the archers lined up in front of the formation gave the Tubo army a fierce rain of arrows. The soldiers who had unleashed their bows and arrows retreated, while the hoplites, who had already lined up behind them, moved forward in a neat pace, their huge shields shining brightly as they reflected the rising sun.

The Tibetan army at the front of the line was baptized with bows and arrows and fell down screaming, but the bear soldiers behind still rushed up without fear of death. And some lightly wounded Tubo soldiers also carried arrows stuck in their bodies and continued to rush up.

The strength of the Tibetan troops can be seen. They all fanatically waved their weapons in their hands, roared, and tried to get close to the Tang Dynasty's position, because they knew in their hearts that if they could rush in front of the enemy, they would be defeated.

......

In the Taiji Palace of Chang'an City, in the study, Li Shimin was holding his head with one hand, but he had already fallen asleep.

"Report ——!"

A long shout came in, which made Li Shimin, who was originally asleep, look tight, and then opened his eyes.

A messenger appeared from outside the door, holding a note in both hands: "Your Majesty, there is a war report in Songzhou,"

"What's the matter? Say. Li Shimin asked.

The messenger knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, Han Wei, the governor of Songzhou, led his army to battle, and was attacked by the Tubo army at Gansongling, and almost wiped out. ”

"What!?"

Li Shimin frowned, got up and said, "Han Wei has something?" ”

"According to the news brought back by the carrier pigeon, Han Dudu is fine, but has suffered some skin injuries, and Songzhou is temporarily besieged." Messenger Road.

"It's fine."

Li Shimin exhaled and asked again, "Where did Hou Jun gather their team?" How much time do you have left to get to Songzhou? ”

The messenger bowed and replied, "Judging by the recent news, it should take another day or two to arrive." ”

"Send a message to Hou Junji, and say that you want to speed up the march."

"Yes."

The messenger and Li Shimin responded, and then retreated and disappeared into the main hall.

After Li Shimin casually rummaged through the folds on the desk, he didn't know where the anger came from, so he directly swept the things on the table.

......

Outside Songzhou City, Zhu Lejie took a cadre of Tibetan soldiers and horses and called for battle in Songzhou City.

"Coward! Hurry out and get your death.! ”

"Come out and die! Come out and die! ”、

Bursts of shouts came into the city, causing Han Wei, who was already injured, to tremble uncontrollably, and blood stains faintly appeared on the bandages on his body.

"Damn...... I'm going to kill this bastard! ”

Han Wei gritted his teeth and grabbed the spear on his side with one hand, just to go out of the city to fight.

"Don't, don't!"

"Dudu, if you go to war at this time, you will fall into the trap of the Tibetans."

Everyone persuaded one after another, and Han Wei calmed down his anger and sat on the chair again.

"This old shrunken turtle, give it to me, rush!"

As soon as Ru Lejie gave an order, tens of thousands of Tubo soldiers rushed towards the city of Songzhou like a tide.

"They rushed up! Hurry up and release the arrows! Lapidation! Don't call them up! ”

The officers and soldiers on the city wall shot the arrows in their hands as if they didn't need money, and the rolling stones also rolled down along the city wall, but wherever the arrows and stones went, the Tubo soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

After attacking the city for several hours, the Tibetans were unable to capture the city, so they had to retreat for the time being.

For the next two days, every day the Tibetans tried to attack the city, but they all ended in failure.

In the middle of the night, outside the Tibetan camp, there was a sudden neighing of horses, followed by a group of heavily armed cavalry raiding into the camp.

……

Chang'an City, inside the Sicong Chemical Plant.

Li Sicong was holding a long knife in one hand, and the whole person was moving back and forth, fine-tuning.

On Li Sicong's side, Chen Taizheng was fascinated.

"Little Marquis, are we going to make weapons?" Chen Tai asked.

Li Sicong nodded: "We have to make a weapon, otherwise we will be too busy to catch the blind when the time comes." ”

After the words fell, Li Sicong looked up at the sun in the sky: "It's almost time, Chen Tai, go and turn on the stove." ”

"Yes."

Chen Tai replied, and then hurriedly went to the refining furnace not far away, raised his hand and opened the furnace mouth.

Whoa!

The door leaf was pushed open, and a stream of steel flowed out and into the mold, quickly turning into a sword of steel.
