"More than 20 years ago, you were unwilling to let a child with the blood of Tian Khan inherit Zampu's position, and you couldn't even wait for him to become an adult, so you started, because you were afraid that when he grew up, with his back to Datang, more and more people would gather around him and have enough power to uproot you."

Chide Zuzan calmly recounted that the ministers behind him, their faces were pale, and only when they reached a desperate situation did they understand that only Zampu of Tibet was the only leader of this country, and this position was created by their own hands for more than a hundred years.

"Now, his people are right in front of our eyes, they have killed everyone in the city, and razed the capital that we have spent more than a hundred years to build, and if Tubo ends in my hands, I, Chide Zuzan, your Zampu, will fight with the Tang people on your corpse until the last moment."

His words surprised those courtiers, and Shang Jiexi couldn't help but ask: "Are we going to attack the city?" ”

Chide Zuzan glanced back at him: "Chen Clan's Shang Jiexi Xu Ding, do you have any other suggestions?" ”

"Venerable Zampu." Shang Jiexi gave a deep salute on the horse: "This city is no longer what Shang Jiezan looked like when he left, the Tang people may not be many, ten thousand or less, but they have rescued a large number of Han slaves, and there are countless Zhangxiong people, with all due respect, even if we fight everyone here, we may not be able to take it, if the Tubo people are all dead, what is the point of taking an empty city." ”

"Go on."

"From Shang Jiezan's escape from here to our soldiers coming to the city, it took more than ten days, and they ransacked the city, but they didn't leave in time, why?"

Shang Jiexi didn't wait for them to answer, so he said to himself: "Knowing that we won't give up the capital, there is only one reason, they are waiting, reinforcements from elsewhere. ”

"You mean, Goshuhan?" No. Poor Sang was the first to react.

"Think about it, if they sent an emissary early in the morning, and Geshuhan reacted quickly, how many days would it take to get here?"

There is only one person who has the most authority on this issue, and that is Enlan, who led the army back from there. Dazarugon, who said without any waves: "Seven days, if there is no hindrance. ”

What is the so-called obstacle, everyone present knows it, and Chide Zuzan glanced at his favorite minister, one of the nine ministers. Dong Zebu, he is from the Subi tribe.

"Mo Ling is loyal to you, Venerable Zampu." End. Dong Zebu had to distinguish a few words: "But he is facing threats in two directions, maybe he will compromise with the Tang people and let them pass through the territory, please believe that this is a last resort, and the Subi people are of great significance to Tibet." ”

"Yes, half of our soldiers' rations are out of it, and if even the Subi people betray Tibet, what hope is there for this country."

Chide Zuzan continued: "It took seven days for Dazaru Gong to come back, the Tang people may be a little longer, according to this calculation, the time left for us, there are at most five days, at the beginning, the Tang people took less than a day to capture our capital, five days, can we take it back?" ”

Everyone was silent, the Tang people were already waiting for a whole formation, who would dare to be so sure?

After waiting for a while, Shang Jiexi's voice sounded again: "Even if we desperately take some cities, how can we face them again, Geshuhan's army?" ”

"The people here are our only bargaining chips, and they are also the last seeds of Tubo, no matter what, we must be saved, I am still alive, and I am willing to go into the city to negotiate with the Tang people, even if they hang my head on the city wall."

"Please, Zampun."

Chide Zuzan turned his head and looked at the majestic city standing on the mountain again, he was remembering the last time he was here, when was it?

"Zamp." Seeing that he didn't react, Shang Jiexi couldn't help but urge.

"You can fight and then you can make peace." Chide Zuzan shook his head: "Dazarukon, send our soldiers, wait for them to set up ladders, and immediately attack the city, under your command." ”

"Yes."

Enlan. Dazarugon bent down and replied.

"Woo woo woo ......"

It didn't take long for a tight horn sound to sound under the city, so that every defender could hear clearly, Liu Ji had already put on his armor, and the Mo knife, which was taller than one person, was leaning against the city wall.

The section of the city wall in front of the city was full of soldiers from Anxi Town, among them both veterans from the north court and newly recruited, all of whom had experienced all the battles since Da Bolu, and in the face of the huge army formation of the enemy under the city, they did not show any fear, nor did they be as excited as the Han people, and everyone was prepared with a calm face.

Although the guards on the city are not in order, but for the Tang soldiers who are good at using bows and crossbows, defending the city is a natural thing, Liu Ji's hand holds a Fuyuan crossbow, the heavy crossbow body is carved from solid rosewood, the crossbow machine made of fine iron, on a layer of tung paint, for the purpose of rust prevention, he picked up a crossbow arrow, stuffed into the hole, only to have a "click" sound, indicating that the arrow is in place, at any time in the state of launch.

There is a simple aiming device installed at the front end of the crossbow body, which is made of bronze and then inlaid into the body with a dot printing technique, and can also be leveled or erected.

The momentum of the Tibetan people was very strong, and the first wave of attacks was densely arranged, with huge wooden shields at the forefront, followed by a series of rough wooden ladders, carried in the hands of foot soldiers wearing light armor, and quickly rushed towards the direction of the city.

"Stone-throwing, ready."

The catapult on the platform made the first sound, and under the pull of the three sergeants, the throwing arm was jerked up, and the stones in the net pocket were bounced into the air, making an arc and falling into the dense enemy brigade.

The stone hit a Tibetan foot soldier, and then flew backwards under the action of inertia, and a blank space appeared in the crowd, which was soon filled by the people behind it.

"Bow and crossbow!"

Tian Zhen's loud voice reached the ears of every sergeant, and Liu Ji held a crossbow machine and put the figure of a Tubo man into it.

"Put!"

Liu Ji pressed the trigger, and the fuselage emitted an obvious reaction force, pushing the black and heavy crossbow arrows, and after flying nearly two hundred steps, he drilled into the gap between the two large shields and shot under the ribs of a Tibetan sergeant, the man was caught off guard, hugged his waist and let out a scream, and the shield in his hand also fell to the ground, revealing the person behind him.

The salvo of nearly 300 strong crossbows dealt a heavy blow to the Tibetans, and at least hundreds of them fell to the ground, but as before, more enemies filled the vacant positions.

Immediately afterwards, they were greeted by thousands of feathered arrows, and at the same time, the archers in the ranks of the Tibetans also began to brave the rain of arrows and shoot at the head of the city to cover the actions of the foot soldiers, while those foot soldiers carrying ladders rushed over without fear of death and advanced towards the city.

After unremitting efforts, the Tibetans finally completed this road of death and set up a ladder at the head of the city.

It also means that a more tragic siege war has begun.
