Wang Sunsin couldn't tell how many enemy troops were surrounding Xiangzi Castle. But he knew that the seven hundred people in his hands should be less than a fraction of the other party. If you add in the possible thieves who ambushed the reinforcements, there may be as many as five or six thousand.

Countless torches surround the small city, as vast as a sea of stars. The sound of trumpets and shouts suddenly sounded outside the city. The small castle is like a boat in the waves. As the wind blows over the sea, it is possible to be swallowed up by the increasingly rough waves at any time.

"Du Xun, what should I do?" A small colonel asked in a trembling voice, and the surrounding group of military academies also turned pale when they looked at the enemy troops outside the city.

"I'm afraid of a bird!" Wang Sunchen scolded the generals who were fighting in two wars, "This is a bluff, do you understand!" If the thieves outside really have the ability, they will attack it directly, light any torches, do you think there is too much oil at home? ”

"It's just to scare you wastes into panic that they dare to attack the city!"

"Cheer up, don't be like a girl, your feet will be soft when you hear the ghost scream. After this night, reinforcements will come! ”

"Han Jiyi, why do you want Ben to stay in Xiangzi City for a few days? It's not long before you know that the thieves will come to sneak attack! Everything has been prepared for a long time, just to kill this group of dogs! ”

Wang Sunchen roared, and the sound spread inside and outside, temporarily calming the morale of the army.

He can be regarded as a famous general in the Xihe Army. Although the age after the change is still unavoidable, it is still difficult to discuss. However, Wang Sunchen's unique archery skills in the army have not been performed in front of the army in the past two years. is famous in the Tibetan tribe, so that his fame has long been planted in the hearts of the soldiers below, and he can listen to a stern reprimand!

Wang Sunsin's words are also reasonable, and when he heard that Han Jiyi of the Economic Strategy Division had already prepared, he also put his mind at ease for the time being.

The army's heart was stable, and Wang Sunchen himself secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered, "Move out all the divine arm bows, as well as crossbow arrows." Fast! Everyone in Uptown sent it to me! ”

When he heard the order, someone immediately went out to carry out his order.

There are not many other things in Xiangzi City, that is, there are many weapons. There are more than 5,000 Divine Arm Bows alone, all of which were sent to Xiangzi City today, ready to be taken to the front-line camp to be replaced. Hard crossbows have a limited lifespan and often break down after dozens of fires. Usually after a long and slightly longer battle, the crossbows to be replaced are in the thousands.

These 5,000 divine arm bows were the capital of Wang Sunchen to defend the city.

'Just stop the first ......wave of the thief army,' Wang Sunsin thought this, the enemy army outside the city had already moved, and thousands of soldiers poured in like a flood.

is worthy of being the old owner of Xiangzi City, and he knows the shortcomings of the city's defense well. The largest number of troops were concentrated on the damaged side of the wall, and if you were in the daytime, you could see the traces of the wall that had collapsed and been repaired.

At the head of the city, there were 600 men on stand, and only 100 were left in the city, ready to support the place where there was a crisis.

A small city of only more than 300 steps, if according to the standards of the Song army, can only be called a fortress. Six hundred men stood side by side, and the city had been filled for a week. At each person's feet were a row of well-wounded crossbows, and in the light of the fire and the moonlight, the round pedals at the front of the bows could be seen.

As the enemy forces drew closer, Wang Sunsin conveyed his first order: "Extinguish the torch!" ”

The order was passed on the head of the city, and the fires on the walls were extinguished one by one, from near and far. In an instant, the walls of Xiangzi City, which fell into darkness, were uncomfortable for a while.

The Tibetans could no longer see the position of the defenders at the head of the city, but the Song troops defending the city soon discovered that they could now see the incoming enemy more clearly.

Wang Sunsin continued to order, "Listen to the general's orders, and then shoot." Whoever shoots the enemy first without waiting for the order will be killed! ”

The stern order made the defenders resist shooting at the enemy troops who had already appeared below the city, dodging the sharp arrows that flew up the city from time to time, and watched them raise the long ladder for the siege - but the wall was more than a foot high, and the ladder that could be erected at the head of the city did not require much manual work.

The enemy army gathered more and more under the city, and one by one long ladders climbed the city wall.

The howl of the Tibetan people in front of him came into his ears, and Wang Sunchen looked at the upper edge of the long ladder that appeared on the pheasant moat in front of him, and the trembling from time to time indicated that someone was using it to climb the city wall.

"Drumming!" Wang Sunsin finally ordered, "Shoot me all the arrows!" ”

The sound of war drums carried Wang Sunsin's orders to every corner of the city.

At the same time, an ugly and strange face appeared on the city, and Wang Sunchen's two personal soldiers immediately opened their bows and shot two long arrows into his eye sockets. After a scream, they picked up the bow of the god arm that was open at their feet, rushed to the wall, and slammed their teeth from the arrow hole, and the bowstring trembled, and they successfully reaped two howls. Dropping the crossbow that had been shot in the air, they replaced it with another good Divine Arm Bow.

The same scene happened on every inch of the city wall. Five thousand divine arm bows were distributed, and one person had seven or eight crossbows, and after shooting the crossbow arrows, he changed the bows. Thousands of arrows were as dense as a torrential rain, concentrated in a very short period of time. This was Han Gang's method when he started by killing people in the armory, and when it was borrowed on the battlefield, the effect was even better. Like hail and thunder washing the city, there were dead and wounded in an instant.

Rushing to the edge of the city without any hindrance, no Tibetan soldier would have imagined that he would face such a fierce attack. Just as they were fantasizing about the ravages that would follow the breach, a rain of arrows of death fell on their heads.

The crowd below the city fell silent, and only a wail could be heard from the dead silence. The offensive of the Tibetan army was sudden, and even the shouts and cheers of the charge were lowered a lot. Those who rushed to the front were the elite of the army, and most of the casualties were lost at once, and the morale of the whole army was almost wiped out.

With one blow to the enemy, the situation was reversed in a blink of an eye, and the city suddenly fell into a state of ecstasy.

In the cheers, Wang Sunsin still remained calm, and the quality of the future famous general was shown in the battle, "Go on!" Spread all the bows of the Divine Arms! …… Also, put away all the ladders for the city! ”

Watching the soldiers sit down one by one to rewind the Divine Arm Bow, the young Du Inspector's face finally had a little joy. Looking at the still brilliant sparks outside the city, he sneered: "See how many times you can play!?" ”

……………………

The half-quarter moon is already setting low to the west, and it will not be long before dawn comes.

The harassment team sent by Han Gang has achieved considerable success in the mountains. Although the generals of the Tibetan people seemed to have a calm temperament, they were not disturbed by their movements when they left the city. However, the rockets that were immediately fired out of the war could not ignite a mountain fire in the damp forest, but they successfully provoked the panic of the war horse.

The scouts who sneaked out of the city to find out the enemy's situation all said that the Tubo people outside the city were disturbed and restless. There is no need for them to say it, just by looking at the torches lit up all over the mountain, Han Gang can know how much stimulation the more than 200 people he sent to the mountains have given the Tubo army.

After a sleepless night, coupled with the previous long march, after dawn, how much combat power can this group of Tubo cavalry have?

Han Gang chuckled a little proudly, a group of spiritless cavalry, even ordinary infantry could easily solve it. Besides, if the war horse can't nourish its spirit, the possibility of problems will be greater. Livestock can't be like people and have the ability to overcome difficulties with perseverance.

Liu Yuan smiled behind Han Gang and asked, "This is the show?" ”

"How?" Han Gang asked rhetorically.

"Tomorrow morning, you will win!" Liu Yuan said in a deep voice, if even a tired army of about 1,000 people can't win, several times the defenders in Keno Fort can commit suicide.

His voice paused, and he added with a solemn expression: "Now we have to look at Xiangzi City!" ”

"Hmm!" Han Gang's voice was also a little heavy, but he immediately smiled, "It should be fine." With Brother Wang, he should be able to hold on! ”

It's just that at this time, I suddenly heard a cheer, which was transmitted with the wind from the fire where the Tubo people were standing.

Han Gang looked back at Liu Yuan suspiciously, and this cheer cast a shadow on the good mood of the two of them.

What happened?

Han Gang was a little restless and waited for the answer to be revealed.

As the day began to dawn, the defenders of Fort Kono, under the orders of Han Gang, began to assemble as a whole and prepare for battle.

And at this time, a Tibetan cavalry passed through the faint morning mist and came to the city of Kenuobao. The leading cavalry had a banner in his hand. The shape is not the usual style of the Tibetan people, but the corner flag of the Han army. Everyone at the head of the city could see it clearly, it was clearly the battle flag commanded by the cavalry led by Tian Qiong!

And at the top of the battle flag, there was a head, and the congealed blood blurred the appearance, but the helmet that was still fastened to the head allowed the people on the city wall to identify the identity represented by the head.

"Tian Qiong!"

"Commander Shida!"

"Tian Qiong is dead?!"

There was a cry of astonishment at the head of the city, and everyone's faces turned pale. Tian Qiong was ordered to rescue Xiangzi City yesterday, and now that he has died in battle, the four hundred cavalry under his command will not be lucky. Without the support of reinforcements, it is even possible to see the reinforcements annihilated under the city, so what happened to Xiangzi City?

More than one person was asking, "Could it be that Xiangzi City is broken?!" ”

"Is Tian Qiong from Xiangzi City?" Han Gang asked sharply, and his sharp eyes blocked everyone's mouth.

"If Tian Qiong is defeated, he must be defeated in the ambush of the Tibetan people. If it was really Xiangzi City that was breached, it should be Wang Sunchen's general banner that was taken! ”

Han Gang's words calmed the hearts of the army a little, and he turned around and ordered the troops: "Beat the drum and go out of the city to fight." Kill all these horsemen and avenge Commander Tian! ”

All of a sudden, "Take the head back for me!" ”
