Chapter 247: A Wave
"It's Li Yuanjun, open the city gate."
Liu Ji's eyes were sharp, and he saw the movement outside the city at once, in that direction, the only thing that could make the Tubo people feel like they were facing a great enemy was Li Siye's partial division, they set off a month in advance and arrived a month late, the reason is very simple, what they want to climb is the highest mountain range in the world.
Li Siye's march route was to sweep all the way along the southern foothills of the Himalayas, from the border between China and Bhutan in later generations into the plateau, through the tributaries of the Zang River, and finally to the city of Rakhe.
His words were orders, Liang Zai did not express any objections, the city gate was soon opened, he led the assembled Qiankengshu sergeants out of the city first, Liang Zai's troops followed one after another, and when Feng Changqing and others heard the news, even the Han people began to go out of the city as a whole.
"Helong's soldiers and horses have arrived?" Before he could climb the city wall, he split his hair and asked, Duan Xiushi, who arrived first, understood the truth and explained it to them.
"Li Siye?"
Hearing that it was from another direction, Feng Changqing was a little suspicious, Li Bu only had a total of 3,000 people, even if there were soldiers and horses from all countries to help, it could not be too many, and this number of people, compared with the Tubo people, could not even make a splash.
Seeing that he was a little embarrassed, Zhang Boji said on the side: "If Zhongcheng is worried about the city defense, he might as well hand it over to Cheng Shuai, but it can be guaranteed." ”
"Then there will be labor." Feng Changqing originally had this intention, there were only more than 2,000 people in Beiting, even if he pulled it out, it would not be of much use, and he could stay in the city just in case.
Cheng Qianli nodded expressionlessly, since that incident, he has been gloomy, Feng Changqing has been used to it early in the morning, and he is not embarrassed at the moment, so he quickly explained, and then went out with the Jiedu tooth soldiers and his own Daxu and the Han people.
Zhang Boji and Cheng Qianli stood at the head of the city, watching them step by step over the hillside full of corpses, and pressing towards the Tibetan camp from the front, and invariably glanced at each other.
"I heard that Li Siye's department is only 3,000 people, plus more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from various countries, and there are no less than hundreds of thousands of Tubo people, isn't this hitting a stone with an egg?"
"There are many battles in the city, these days they have lost a lot of losses in defending the city, and the rest, even his own soldiers, together with it, is only in the early 5,000s, and the Han people have tens of thousands, and they have a lot of money, look at it, can they have the life to hold on until the arrival of Helong's soldiers and horses." Cheng Qianli nodded in agreement.
"Ge Shuhan didn't say it would definitely arrive." Zhang Boji pouted: "Even if it arrives, how many people can come, let's talk about it." ”
Cheng Qianli looked left and right, on the city wall, on the horse road, there was blood everywhere that had not congealed, and he didn't know whether it was the enemy's or his own, the fierceness of the war, they didn't have to come up, they could see it clearly, the city was full of wounded, even a military general like Tian Zhen could not avoid it, it can be imagined.
"Two thousand people can't hold such a big city." He said meaningfully.
"There is no need to guard, I heard that there is a person in this city who can solve today's crisis."
Zhang Boji's mysterious and secret words aroused Cheng Qianli's interest, and when the former whispered in his ear, Cheng Qianli suddenly understood, and couldn't help but look in the direction of the palace, revealing a thoughtful expression.
Liu Ji rushed to the front first, behind him was the small banner of the main soldier, Zhang Wuyuan and Xu Guangjing, two veterans had no choice but to follow closely, after so many years in the army, I have seen someone who is not afraid of death, and I have never seen such a lifeless one.
At present, there are only 60 or 70 people in the Qiankeng Garrison that have been replenished several times, because all the departments have been damaged, and they cannot be replenished for a while, and the last batch is still allocated by Feng Changqing from his own Jiedu Ya soldiers.
The lord and several lieutenants were indomitable, and they were not willing to be behind, even if the Tubo people in front were dense and frontal, they still chose to attack.
This result was not expected by the Tibetans.
After Dazaru Gong led the Praetorian Guards away, due to the unknown situation, the siege was stopped for a while, everyone's attention was attracted by the sudden soldiers and horses, and all kinds of rumors spread in the camp, and the Tang people actually united with the Tianzhu people, and appeared from behind them, which made people's hearts even more uneasy.
After several days of siege, nearly 30,000 Tibetans died under the city, and although it was not a pain in the bones for this huge team, the blow to morale was also obvious.
Zampu personally supervised the formation, the elite went forward and followed, and there was still no way to take the defenders in the city, whoever it is, he will also beat the drum in his heart, Tang people, is he so brave?
No. Mang Buzhi has this kind of question in his heart, the tribesmen of the Lu clan have died a lot these days, and even the famous warriors in the clan have not been able to come back, if he is not the son of the Great Theory, I am afraid that he will also be sent to attack the city.
Now, Dazarugon went to deal with the surprise attack, with the front under the command of Shanzanmon, and he led a group of heavily armored cavalry, as the outpost of the large battalion, roaming the perimeter, but no one thought that the Tang would rush out of the city.
Isn't this obvious, the Tubo people are gone, how good can the city be, and the Tang people are not iron.
In this kind of psychology, their mounts are all arranged horizontally relative to the city, because only in this way can the eyes naturally stare at the side that is being raided by the Tang people, the sound is becoming more and more obvious, and there is also the pace of some kind of fierce beast in the middle, which makes people tremble when they listen to it.
At this time, there was a dense hoof sound in his ears, Mang Buzhi couldn't help but turn his head, the scene in front of him made him stay there all of a sudden, he was not a battle-hardened warrior, and his reaction was naturally much slower.
From the city gate to the bottom of the mountain, it is a slightly curved slope, the total length is about seven or eight hundred steps, and the fast horse only needs a few breaths to reach, Liu Ji desperately urged the horse to gallop, because he knew that the most important thing was to surprise him, once he fell into a fight, so that the other party could calmly exert his strength, failure was a matter of time, this truth, Li Siye understood, he was the same.
When the Tubo heavy cavalry in front turned his head, he had already swept like a bolt of lightning, the horizontal knife in his hand was flat, purely relying on the blessing of horsepower, the sharp blade cut through the arm and ribs wrapped in iron armor, until the forearm left the body, and the blood under the ribs shot out. Mangbu let out a loud cry and fell under his horse.
And Liu Ji had already rushed through the defense line of this small group of heavy cavalry non-stop, heading towards the camp of the Tubo people.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Wuprice, Xu Guangjing and others crashed into the heavy cavalry with men and horses, and before they had no speed and didn't even raise their weapons, they swung their knives and slashed down.
"Kill the thief!"
"Enemy attack!"
The slogans of the two sides sounded almost at the same time, and under the leadership of Liu Ji, the Tang people were fearless and clinging to the front, entangled with the heavy cavalry that had lost their space to sprint, and pressed them step by step towards the center of the camp.
The big black flag that symbolizes Zampu.
