"Ah・・・・・・ ・・・・・・" Zhao Ziliang roared, the green tendons on his face, forehead and arms instantly burst out, and he grabbed the horse lance with both hands to pick up all the rolling logs that had been piled up, and these picked up rolling logs were split and broken by the lance shadows, and finally turned into sawdust and fell to the ground one by one, and the helmets and armor of the soldiers of the Western Qin Army behind him were scattered with sawdust everywhere.

"Follow me!" Zhao Ziliang roared and rushed forward with a horse lance, and the soldiers of the Western Qin Army saw that Zhao Ziliang was so brave, and their blood immediately boiled, and they yelled and rushed up the mountain with him.

After rushing for about fifty meters, Zhao Ziliang finally saw the earthen fort where the eye of the formation was located, it should be said that it was a stone fort, all of which were piled up with stones, three zhang high, round, and the stone fort was full of archery holes.

The stone fort where the eye of the formation is located is thirty meters in front, and the Tubo army in the stone fort saw that the Western Qin army had rushed to the near place, and immediately organized troops to rush down to meet the battle, and a large group of about 200 Tubo soldiers rushed down the hillside under the leadership of a Tubo general.

At this time, arrows were still shooting from all directions, and Zhao Ziliang shouted: "Everyone protect themselves, Duan Xiushi will lead the first team to kill me, and the others will follow!" ”

"Yes!" Duan Xiushi agreed, and waved his hand: "The first team, kill!" ”

"Kill-" The first team of soldiers followed behind Duan Xiushi, and everyone tightly hugged Zhao Ziliang in the middle.

The Tubo army rushed down from the hillside does have a momentum, which is a condescending advantage, but these have no effect on Zhao Ziliang, Zhao Ziliang waved the horse lance in his hand, and swung the big axe of the Tubo general who rushed over, and the wolf tooth hammer on the head of the lance smashed into the ribs of the Tubo general, and the Tubo general was smashed on the spot and flew out, falling down to the deep stream on the left.

"Dangdang, Ding Ding Ding ・・・・・・" The Tubo soldiers and the soldiers of the Western Qin Army had a battle, the weapons kept ringing, and the soldiers of the Western Qin Army had an absolute advantage in equipment, and the swords of the Tubo soldiers could not play a role at all on the soldiers of the Western Qin Army, unless they were cut at the vital points of the joints.

"Death to me!" Zhao Ziliang roared, the horse lance in his hand kept waving, and afterimages appeared in the air, and the soldiers of the Tubo army were chopped to death, and he did not stop at all, while killing the enemy, he climbed towards the mountain, and kept stepping on blood and stumps and broken arms under his feet.

The two hundred Tubo soldiers who rushed down from the stone fort were killed by Zhao Ziliang alone, and the distance of thirty meters was too close, after the Tubo soldiers who rushed out were killed, Zhao Ziliang had already led people to rush to the bottom of the stone fort, but the arrow hole on the stone fort still kept shooting arrows.

At this time, Zhao Ziliang felt an invisible force rushing out of the stone castle and drilled straight into his forehead, and instantly he felt a tingling pain in his brain, and he immediately understood that this was the Tubo alien in the stone castle who was attacking him with the power of the spiritual realm, his body shook, let out a muffled snort, and then roared, "Go to death", the power of the divine soul instantly counterattacked, dispersed the power that invaded the brain, and then rushed along the path of this force.

In a room in the stone castle, a lama in a monk's robe slowly flowed black blood, and his body collapsed.

Zhao Ziliang put away his soul and waved the horse lance in his hand, "Soldiers, follow me in!" ”

The soldiers of the Western Qin Army followed Zhao Ziliang into the small gate of the stone fort like a tide, and went up the stairs all the way, cleaning every room until they rushed to the top floor of the stone fort, killing all the Tubo soldiers in the stone fort and controlling the entire stone fort.

The soldiers of the Western Qin Army looked around again and found that the same scenery along the way had disappeared, replaced by five earthen forts around it.

Duan Xiushi came to the top of the fort and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "King, all the Tubo soldiers in the fort have been cleaned up, and the room where the Tubo aliens who set up the formation have also been found, and the people are dead!" ”

Zhao Ziliang followed Duan Xiushi to the room of the Tubo Lama, standing at the door, Zhao Ziliang looked at it, and instructed Duan Xiushi: "You go and arrange defense, especially to block the door, and then send a signal to our army under the mountain, let them organize troops to prepare for attack!" ”

"Yes, King!" Duan Xiushi clenched his fists and agreed, turned around and went downstairs.

Zhao Ziliang walked into the room and squatted beside the dead Tubo Lama, touched him, found some objects and put them away, and then got up and ordered the surrounding soldiers: "Carry the body out and clean up the room!" ”

"Yes!"

The corpse was carried away, Zhao Ziliang walked to the window and looked down, from here he could completely see all the scenes on the road from the bottom of the mountain to the upper mountain, and at the same time, he could also see the situation of half of the earthen forts around, that is to say, every move he led the troops to kill just now was clearly seen by the Tubo Lama.

After a while, Duan Xiushi came back again and hugged his fists and reported: "King, the defense has been arranged, the signal has been sent, General Chen is organizing troops to prepare for the attack!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked: "How many spare troops are there after the defense arrangement is completed?" ”

Duan Xiushi said: "There are still two hundred people free!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and ordered: "Divide these two hundred people into two teams, and when the soldiers and horses under the mountain come to the mountain, order these two pairs of men and horses to attack the earthen forts on the left and right sides of the opposite side respectively, as long as we attack these two earthen forts, the Tubo soldiers in these two earthen forts will not be able to be distracted to attack the soldiers and horses we are going up the mountain, and can provide cover for our men and horses on the mountain!" ”

"Understood, the minister will go and prepare!"

In addition to the stone fort in the middle, the other earthen forts are built on both sides of the mountain road, which can only shoot arrows at the Western Qin army attacking on the mountain, and cannot attack with rolling wood and thunder stones, only the stone fort where the eye of the formation in the middle can be used to throw thunder stones and rolling wood into the West Qin army on the mountain road, and capture the stone fort in the middle, this battle is much easier to fight, and the shooting of arrows is too limited for the soldiers of the Western Qin army who are fully armored and have shields for protection. The Tubo army's earthen forts did not have large crossbow arrows or bed crossbows and other weapons to defend the city.

When the generals of the Tubo army on the Jinding Pass saw that the stone fort was captured, they were in a hurry, and immediately shouted, commanding a large number of Tubo troops to rush down from the top of the mountain, wanting to recapture the stone fort, after all, this stone fort is the center of gravity of the hillside defense, as long as it is recaptured, it will become difficult for the Western Qin army to capture other Tubo.

The two hundred soldiers were divided into two teams to attack the bottom two earthen forts, but the stone fort where Zhao Ziliang and Duan Xiushi were located was besieged by a large number of Tubo troops who rushed down from the mountain, but Duan Xiushi and his soldiers guarded the entrance to the death, so that the Tubo army could not attack the stone fort, and the Tubo army did not carry siege equipment and could not climb to the top of the stone fort from the wall.

Arrows were constantly being shot from the archery holes of the stone fort, and the Tibetan soldiers surrounding the stone fort were constantly shot to death, but these Tibetan soldiers were obviously people who dared to die, and even in the case of heavy casualties, they still did not retreat to the Jinding Pass on the top of the mountain.

As a large number of soldiers of the Western Qin army under the mountain rushed down, the bottom two Tubo were also captured one after another, and the Tubo soldiers besieging the stone fort were all annihilated under the attack of the Western Qin army inside and outside the stone fort.

Zhao Ziliang has not had time to deploy a new round of attack, and a large number of Tubo soldiers rushed down from the Jinding Pass on the mountain, it seems that the determination of the Tubo generals to recapture the stone fort is not small, and the Western Qin army is still at a disadvantage, after all, the Tubo army is condescending, and if you want to fight, you can rest.

Zhao Ziliang could only order a part of the soldiers of the Western Qin army to retreat into the stone fort and the two earthen forts that had been captured, and the other part of the soldiers stayed under the fort to protect the safety of the stone fort, and the other soldiers of the Western Qin army hid in the stone fort and the earthen fort and used bows and arrows to shoot the Tubo army.

For a whole day, the Tubo army carried out six consecutive attacks on the stone fort, sending a total of more than 3,000 people, but they were all wiped out by the soldiers of the Western Qin army led by Zhao Ziliang, and the Western Qin army relied on the stone fort as a springboard and fortress, and kept annihilating the Tubo army that rushed down from the mountain, until after dark, the Tubo army stopped attacking.

Zhao Ziliang wiped the blood on his face, stationed the horse lance on the ground, turned his head and looked at the soldiers of the Western Qin Army, covered by bows and arrows in the stone fort, the casualties of the soldiers were not large, but they were all very tired, Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered the soldiers to enter the fort to rest, and the Tubo people should not send people to attack at night.

Duan Xiushi said to Zhao Ziliang with some worry: "King, if the Tubo people keep sending people to attack like this, it will be a big trouble for us!" ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said; "Impossible, their forces are limited, it is impossible to keep sending people down to attack, now we are the attackers, they sent people to attack today to recapture this stone fort, and when they think it is impossible to recapture the stone fort, they will give up, after all, they still have to guard the golden dome pass on the mountain! How many of the soldiers who had already gone up the mountain did not participate in the daytime battles? ”

Duan Xiushi said: "There should be more than a thousand people!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and ordered: "Organize these people, let's attack the remaining few earthen forts overnight, take them, as long as we take these earthen forts tonight, it will be much more difficult for the Tubo people to attack us tomorrow!" ”

Duan Xiushi hugged his fists and said: "The minister understands, the minister will personally lead the team to attack tonight!" ”

The stone fort is indeed the middle hub of the defense system on the entire mountainside, the Tubo people became passive after losing it, and several Tubo around them could not echo each other, so they could only reinforce and cover each other in pairs, but the strength of the two earthen forts was very limited after all, and they could only release arrows, once the arrows were shot, there was no attack power, and they had to wait for the arrows to be transported from the top of the mountain.

Under the cover of the night, Duan Xiushi led his soldiers to attack the remaining four earthen forts non-stop, and these four earthen forts were separated, unable to cover and support respectively, and in less than half of the night, the four earthen forts were captured by the Western Qin army one after another.

Duan Xiushi came back with a happy face and replied to Zhao Ziliang: "King, the remaining four earthen forts have been captured by the ministers and people!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded; "Good! What are the casualties among the soldiers? ”

"More than 500 casualties, including more than 200 killed in battle!"

Zhao Ziliang frowned, "The casualties are a bit big, and the king of this order will transfer the Tianzhu soldiers and Tubo servant army and mercenaries to attack Jinding Pass tomorrow!" ”

"Command!"
