Chapter 125: One Step

Choosing to cooperate with the Ka people, Liu Ji has his own reasons, they are at the bottom of the society, they are born in a weak position, if they want to consolidate their rule, they can only choose to cooperate with strong outsiders, since they have hated the Tubo people, there is only one choice left for the Tang people.

What's more, based on the prestige of later generations, he needs such a useful team, and for no reason, who will follow him?

Of course, if this road doesn't work, he also has another choice, a waste prince who killed all his brothers and father, and he also needs the full support of Datang.

At this point, Emperor He's lost Po will not consider himself a waste material, and now most of Kantipur is in his hands, and the offensive of the mountain people has been contained, after all, they have no formal training, and they are only bloody, and after a period of chaos, the defenders are gradually concentrated under his banner, the only heir of the kingdom.

The man who is about to become the king, it is when he is full of ambition and high spirits, with the support of the Tubo people, he believes that he will be like those kings of his predecessors, ascend to the throne, and maybe marry a Tubo princess, give birth to a large number of sons, watch them grow up and kill each other, and so on and so on.

There are two main streets in Kantipur, roughly in the shape of a cross, the square is located in the center of the cross, and the rest of the part is divided by countless houses to form alleys, such a battlefield is a trouble for both the offensive and defensive sides, because the offensive and defensive momentum will change at any time due to the balance of forces.

The mountain people were the attackers before, and when they were at a disadvantage, they became the defenders, relying on these houses, with rudimentary bows and arrows, swords and guns, and weapons stolen from the defenders, to resist the enemy's attacks, and every alley mouth was the place where the battle was most intense, often changing hands several times, and both sides were red-eyed, because everyone knew what the fate of defeat would be.

Gradually, the defenders had a unified command and recovered from the chaos, and the inhabitants of the city either fled or hid in their homes, the streets were no longer crowded, and the enemy and friend were more distinct, which was advantageous for the defenders.

Coupled with the help of the Tibetans, they slowly overwhelmed each other, and they were familiar with the terrain, divided and interspersed, constantly compressing the activity space of the mountain people, encircling and annihilating them, with the progress of the offensive, most of the urban areas originally controlled by the mountain people were forced out of the city step by step, and soon approached the range of the city gate.

Once the city gate is opened, with the advantage of city defense, Emperor He has the confidence to defend the city, even if the Tang people really come.

"Move faster, drive them out, kill a traitor, and I'll have a big reward."

Emperor He made a promise without money, before he officially became the king, the treasury had little to do with in his mind, and now the most important thing is to quell the rebellion in the city as soon as possible, and only in this way can he take advantage of the opportunity to make great achievements and ascend to the throne smoothly.

He wants to be both a king and a hero in the eyes of his countrymen, which is the result that he never dared to dream of, and he is only one step away.

He wouldn't allow anyone to stand in the way unless it was a dead man.

At his urging, the defenders' offensive intensified, and the mountain people could not stand on their feet, so they could only retreat step by step, and they were about to collapse.

At this moment, the sudden change occurred, and Emperor He's lost his wife may not forget the scene in front of him for the rest of his life, and the mountain people who were blocking the city gate shouted, spread their feet and ran backwards, and the front of the defending army that was in full swing suddenly became empty.

Immediately afterward, from the open city gate, a blood-red banner was raised, and countless red tassels poured out from behind the banner, filling the gap in an instant, and a language completely different from the Tibetan dialect and the local dialect resounded in the sky overhead.

"Sons, follow a certain thief!"

Under the iron armor, Lifei Yuanli, who was covered with a collar of mink fur, like a bloodthirsty beast, laughed and shouted, and the long knife in his hand, together with his huge body, slammed into the ranks of the nuns.

"Kill the thief!"

The soldiers of the Tang army behind him converged into a torrent of iron armor, shouting and following behind their own town generals, Rulin's spears turned this small area into a death zone, following the passage that the general avoided the lord, constantly expanding, forcibly blocking the defenders' offensive, like a huge arrow wedged into the human body, piercing the flesh and blood.

The offensive and defensive momentum was reversed again, and the mountaineers who occupied the walls seized the opportunity to provide them with long-range support with arrows, and the defenders who were attacked by this attack were suddenly thrown into confusion and unable to advance or retreat in the narrow streets.

After the battle, Emperor He's hands and feet were cold, he didn't expect the Tang people to really come, and he didn't expect them to come in such a timely manner, just one step away.

"There aren't many Tang people, drive them out."

A Tibetan man beside him didn't have as many thoughts as him, and he could see the reality of the enemy at a glance, as long as he blocked the team of hundreds of people, they still had a chance.

"Prince, gather all the men, and the Tang people will hand it over to us."

He pulled out a straight knife and raised it high: "Tubo warriors, the gods are above, for the sake of Zampu, rush!" ”

"For Zamp!"

Hundreds of Tibetans drew their knives like him, shouted and rushed forward, and soon collided head-on with the Tang people who penetrated the enemy formation, and the two torrents of black and red were like armor on their bodies, intertwining the picture of iron and blood.

It seems that the new force of the Tubo people has blocked the offensive of the Tang people, but Emperor He did not believe that there were only hundreds of people in the Tang people, and at the moment when their banner appeared, his confidence was gone.

It was time to think about retreat, and while he continued to gather the retreating Nibora defenders and drive them forward again, he quietly retreated with his cronies, and the Nibora was not the only city, but the royal family still had a great influence throughout the country.

It was too late to clean up, and even his family had to give up, and Emperor He and his people fled in the opposite direction in a hurry, and from there they went out of the city to the mainland of the Tubo people, although separated by high mountains and mountains.

Unlike the battle of life and death on the other side, this part of Kandypur is as quiet as if it is sleeping, the streets are full of traces of looting, and the gates are wide open, as long as you escape, it is another scene.

It's a pity that between the steps that are about to escape, he saw a bigger flag, still red like a burning cloud in the sky.

The rumbling of hooves woke the sleeping street, and he looked up in a stupor, and watched as the banner was getting closer and closer, with the words of the Han people on it, and under the banner, a tower-like man rode on a tall horse, almost as high as the city wall

The huge blade slashed through his eyes, slashed across his body, and the whole person split into two halves like a kite, and in his fading consciousness, he saw the other half of himself, trampled by countless iron hooves, and remained on the land forever.

"Kill!"

A deep male voice came from under the iron helmet, and countless streams of iron rolled behind him.

The main force of the Tang Army led by the supernatural general Li Siye arrived at the right time.
