The four of them were all wearing Tang military uniforms, and they naturally had a set of ways to distinguish their own people, and after interrogation, Li Xiaogong asked about the purpose of their entry into the city.

"Back to the Chief! A few small people came in batches to report the same thing, General Wei Chi and the army have arrived nearby, and will launch a surprise attack tomorrow, and ask the general manager to cooperate.

If the governor received the news, he lit nine torches on the eastern wall, and every third of them was for the general to see. One of the four said, and then each of them pulled out four secret letters from the seams of their clothes.

Li Xiaogong took the letter, so he asked the others to go down, went into the room to check it himself, and after checking, he found Niu Jinda to discuss.

"Lao Niu's reinforcements have arrived, and tomorrow they will raid their main force while Tubo is attacking the city, and ask us to cooperate." Li Xiaogong took advantage of the time when Niu Jin arrived, and had already done what he said on the secret letter, and it turned out that the secret letter asked nine fires to be lined up, which was different from what the messenger said.

Seeing Niu Jinda coming, Li Xiaogong said with a rare sigh of relief, he was indeed too tired to defend the city with high intensity for more than ten consecutive days, and he didn't have a good rest, both of them were bearded, they had no time to take care of them, their faces were tired, and their eyes were bloodshot.

"Good! Finally here, this group of rabbit cubs, let Ye Ye not sleep peacefully for a long time, I have to teach a good lesson.

How do you want us to cooperate? Yes, yes, you must vent your evil anger well. When Niu Jinda heard this, an ugly face suddenly laughed.

"Just wait for a surprise attack outside the city, and then go out of the city to drag the other three Tubo people, so that they can't rescue the main frontal force." Li Xiaogong pointed to the map on the table and introduced.

"Wouldn't that be a good way to let go of you?" Niu Jinda said with an unhappy face, he is also a veteran, and he understands how to do this plan as soon as he hears it, which is nothing more than to defeat the enemy's main force with superior forces and force other enemies to surrender or flee.

"Humph! What else do you want, the reinforcements that come are all government soldiers, as well as the soldiers and horses trained in Nanyang, they are not elite at all, and the cavalry is only 5,000. Li Xiaogong rolled his eyes and said angrily.

"It's a pity, if there are 10,000 more cavalry, it will be difficult for these fans to escape back." Niu Jinda stammered, wiped his uncared beard with his hand and said.

"There are still 3,000 cavalry in the city, tomorrow Lao Niu you will take the front with the cooperation, the other three sides are the most east, the old man personally led people to drag it, the other two sides are just feints, and the points are guarded." Li Xiaogong arranged.

Niu Jinda also knew that the most suitable person to lead the cavalry now was himself, so he didn't shirk it, and he should bow down.

The two then discussed some details and arranged the troops, until it was properly done, and the two went to rest when there was no problem.

This night in Songzhou City was also spent in harassment, but the Tang soldiers were accustomed to it, the guards who should be guarded, and those who should rest blocked their ears and continued to sleep.

Early the next morning, the Tubo army began to prepare to attack the city again, it is really they have seen the dawn of victory, the defense of Songzhou City has dropped a lot in the past two days, and there are not many arrows shot, with Gar Dongzan's prediction, at most two days the Tang Dynasty will have no arrows to put away, and there will not be enough manpower to defend the city, after all, there are only 40,000 soldiers in Songzhou, after more than ten days of attack, at least more than 20,000 dead and wounded, even if there are some young and strong people in the city, there are not many people left who can fight, and the state will not be too good.

Gar Dongzan did not stop attacking, but also worried about the Tang Dynasty reinforcements, the sentinel has been released for dozens of miles, fortunately, no abnormalities have been found, including the nearest city, but also worried that Tubo will divide troops to attack, encircle the point to send reinforcements and close the city gate.

"Kill!" Gar Dongzan did a good job in ideological work, and the Tibetan tribes did not want to sacrifice a huge amount of money without a return for the sake of wealth, and they all commanded their subordinates to attack endlessly.

And Tubo is located on the plateau, perennial and the sky, and the nature of the fight, the people are fierce, the difficult environment has created a strong physique of the Tubo people, in terms of pure single combat effectiveness, better than the Tang soldiers, fortunately, the Tang soldiers have better equipment, good cooperation, the two sides can be said to be half a catty, almost the same.

Fortunately, one is to attack the city, and the other is to defend the city, so that it can defend the attack with tens of thousands of people and 300,000 people.

As for the arrows, Songzhou was originally equipped with a lot, but it was consumed a lot by the 100,000 Guiren slaves who did not want to die, harassed day and night, and feints would also be consumed, if it wasn't for knowing that there were reinforcements, I am afraid that Li Xiaogong would have to consider retreating.

Tubo originally had 200,000 elites, and there were 50,000 or 60,000 casualties in the siege of the city in many days, but fortunately, Gar Dongzan's headquarters suffered few casualties, which was also where his confidence in continuing the attack lies.

More than 100,000 people fought endlessly around Songzhou, and the sound of killing shook the sky, and the beasts and birds in the nearby ten miles had already been scared away.

"Brush! Brush! Brush! "A sudden rain of arrows descended on Gar Donzan's main formation.

"Ahh Yes! Yes! Many of the warriors on their horses screamed and fell off their horses, waking up Gar Donzan, who was watching the battle ahead.

Gar Dongzan was taken aback, and hurriedly looked back, only to find that he didn't know when a large group of people appeared behind, the front had already set up a formation and was slowly moving forward, and some later, there were Tang soldiers emerging from the mountains and forests.

Gar Dongzan was shocked and angry, he didn't expect to set up so many sentinels, or he was touched behind by Datang, he didn't receive any news at all, he didn't care about thinking about the sentinel problem, and hurriedly let the 20,000 cavalry who pressed the formation to charge the Datang soldiers, after all, Datang had just lined up, if everyone appeared in formation, then the situation would be irreparable.

The distance between the two sides was not far away, and the bows and arrows had already fallen on the heads of Tubo, which required the head of the horse to be turned, and the whole process also took time.

Ignoring the formation of the formation, Gar Dongzan shouted loudly at the cavalry charge and rushed to the front, so that the archers could not shoot recklessly.

There are many generals such as Cheng Mingzhen and Xue Wanshu, some are directing the formation, and some are shouting loudly to speed up the release of arrows.

The formation listed by Datang is the shield wall spear formation, this kind of shield is improved by Feng Daiwen and others, which can be combined to form a shield wall, and can be supported by a long stick behind the back when placed on the ground.

I have to admit that Gar Dongzan's elite is indeed extraordinary, although there is no formation, and all of them are rudimentary leather armor, they still attack desperately, facing the spear formation, they did not hesitate to drive the war horse to crash into it, and the knight on horseback jumped up from the war horse, raised the scimitar in his hand and slashed it down, ignoring the spear stabbed on the body.
