Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said: "The Eastern Roman Empire is not unwilling to provoke the Avars, but because they are not available, the black-clothed Great Food Country in the east is eyeing them, and they are almost unable to cope with the provocation of the Great Food Country, how can they have the spare strength to care about the Avars, if the Avars don't find trouble with them, they will have to pray to your God every day!" As for the Franks, they have swallowed a lot of territory over the years and it takes time to digest it, just like a python swallowing a sheep, it can't climb at all! Charlie, do you think who will win if the Frankish Empire and the Tang Empire go to war? ”

Charlie's face went over several times, and finally he shook his head and said, "I don't know!" ”

Zhao Ziliang asked Tony again: "Tony, what do you say?" ”

Tony asked, "Lord Marshal, I heard that you are the commander of the 200,000-strong army?" ”

"You haven't answered my question yet!"

Tony glanced at Charlie and said helplessly: "Compared with the strength alone, the number of troops in the Frankish Kingdom is far inferior to that of the Tang Empire, even the 200,000 troops under the Marshal are six times that of the Frankish Kingdom, but the war is by no means won or lost by quantity, and the final outcome can only be known when it is really fought!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked up at the sky and sighed: "Yes, war is never won or lost by the number of troops!" Eighteen years ago, I fought here, when our Tang army was only tens of thousands of people here, and there were more than 200,000 Tubo people, but we were still killed to lose their armor and flee in embarrassment, if it were not for political reasons, I would have led the army into the hinterland of Tubo back then, and it was only one step away from the destruction of Tubo! Those damned politicians were bribed by the Tibetans for money, and persuaded the emperor to agree to negotiate with the Tibetans, so that the blood of many of my brothers was shed in vain! In my life, I have fought with many barbarians and countries, such as the Khitans, Xi people, Murwei people, Hui people, Turkic people, Qarluq people in the north, as well as our old enemies of the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo people, the Qiang people, the Tuyuhun people, as well as the Western Turks and Sogdians in the Western Regions. My former opponents have all died under my sword, this is the fate they deserve, none of them understand that war is actually an art, maybe since the human race has not yet appeared war has appeared, even if the human race perishes, the war will not disappear, it will still happen between other living beings, so the time of the birth of war is far longer than the history of the birth of mankind, do you know what this means? ”

All three shook their heads, and Charlie asked, "Lord Marshal, what does this mean?" ”

Zhao Ziliang smiled slightly, took a bite of the pie and said, "This is a secret!" Think for yourselves, and if any one of you figures it out, that person will become a brilliant military strategist! If there is an army with a civilization inheritance in this world, I think in addition to the army of the Tang Empire, there is only the army of the Eastern Roman Empire, and the Franks are barely one, one day, I really want to fight with the Eastern Roman Empire and the Frankish Kingdom, to see which army in this world is the invincible army in the world! ”

Charlie and the three looked at each other. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, a personal soldier shouted: "Commander, the Tubo people are ready to attack!" ”

Zhao Ziliang got up with the flatbread and meat to look outside the city, and saw that the Tubo people were advancing towards the city wall like dark clouds pressing down on the city, and he immediately shouted: "Everyone prepare for war!" ”

The pro-soldiers drew their weapons one after another and shouted: "Prepare for war, prepare for war!" ”

A personal soldier pointed at the three Charlies with a waist knife and asked, "Wang Laosan, what should these three people do?" ”

Wang Laosan was a little anxious when he saw the Tubo army outside the city surging over like a tide, and immediately said: "There is no time, tie it up first, and take care of it aside!" ”

"This ······ Be! ”

The Tang army captured Xiping only 10,000 infantry, 5,000 cavalry, after so many days of fighting, the infantry is still intact only more than 4,000 people left, nearly 4,000 killed, nearly 2,000 wounded, the strength is equal to more than half of the loss, this is the most brutal and tragic battle that Zhao Ziliang has ever fought, but also the most tragic battle to defend the city, and the cavalry still has 3,000 people left, the cavalry is too precious for Zhao Ziliang, until the last moment, Zhao Ziliang will never use the cavalry as infantry, and the Tubo people have long forgotten the difference between infantry and cavalry at this time, directly let the cavalry participate in the siege, but the casualties of the Tubo people were also huge, 120,000 people, and now there are less than 50,000 left, under such heavy casualties, they have not retreated, which has to make Zhao Ziliang pay attention to their determination to avenge the Tubo Zanpu.

At this point, all ranged weapons are useless, and it is completely a battle between swords and swords, guns and shields, and the burning of blood and fire.

"Kill—" The Tubo people still rushed towards the city wall in groups of disorganized, but like a tide, they rushed up the city wall with the corpses under the city to engage the Tang army, but they were cut down one by one and rolled down, and the fresh corpses covered the rotting corpses.

The corpses are piled higher and higher, and you can step on the blood water with any kick, Zhao Ziliang waved his war knife like a machine and kept slashing and killing the Tubo soldiers who rushed up, a puff of blood danced around and dissipated, accompanied by a corpse falling, the corpses under his feet were piled up into a mountain, and the corpse pile gradually pushed him up, he became the tallest person standing on the entire city wall, the whole person was like a roll in the blood pool, blood was dripping everywhere, this image was like a demon god crawling out of hell.

The situation on the city wall was in crisis, there were too many Tibetans, and the weakness of the Tang army's insufficient strength was revealed in this matter. There were holes in the defensive line, and some Tibetans had already captured a few small sections of the city wall and were expanding their gains.

Charlie, who was bound, saw that the situation was critical, and if the city was broken by the Tibetans, the three of them would not be able to escape the slaughter of the Tibetans, so he immediately shouted to Wang Laosan, who was guarding them: "Hey, hey!" Soldier, untie us quickly, untie us and help your companions, don't you see that your companions are in danger now? ”

Wang Laosan and a few others looked at Charlie, and then at their companions who were in critical condition, but they couldn't make up their minds for a while.

Charlie continued to shout: "They need support, let us go, we can help you fight!" I swear in the name of my ancestors that we will never run away, okay? Hurry, the barbarians are here, and it's too late! ”

Under Charlie's constant urging, Wang Laosan finally decided, and shouted to his subordinates: "Let them go!" Everyone, rush up with me! ”

"Rush!" Several pro-soldiers followed Wang Laosan to rush up to some of the Tubo soldiers who rushed to Zhao Ziliang to disperse, a lot of slashing, Zhao Ziliang was finally able to free his hand, he jumped down from the pile of corpses and picked up the golden nail jujube lance placed on the side of the wall and rushed towards an occupied section of the city wall, along the way saw Charlie and other three people were slashing and killing the Tubo soldiers, that Charlie actually shot a good bow and arrow, the speed of the arrow was extremely fast, in the blink of an eye, three arrows were shot in a row, each arrow killed a Tubo soldier.

Zhao Ziliang rushed to the nearby section of the city wall occupied by the Tubo people and shouted: "Get out of the way!" ”

The soldiers of the Tang Army retreated after hearing the voice, Zhao Ziliang flew into the air, and the Tubo soldiers stabbed Zhao Ziliang who was in the air with spears, Zhao Ziliang swept the horse lance in his hand, and the heads of the Tubo soldiers in the front half circle were all cut off along with the spears, and they did not wait to land and twist their waists to sweep again, and the other half of the Tubo soldiers were all cut into two sections.

"Follow me!" After Zhao Ziliang solved the Tubo soldiers in this place, he shouted to the Tang soldiers around him, and the Tang soldiers followed Zhao Ziliang with weapons and advanced forward, and the Tubo soldiers who rushed to the city wall one by one were killed, and the corpses rolled down, and the city wall was soon covered with corpses, both Tubo and Tang soldiers.

Zhao Ziliang led the general Tang soldiers to constantly fight fires on the city wall, and where they couldn't resist it, they would go to reinforcements, even the extremely tenacious golden-topped jujube yang lance began to dull after a whole day of continuous slashing, and could only be used to sweep and smash.

This battle was fought from morning to dusk, the corpses had already covered the city wall, so that the height of the city wall increased by two meters, after a desolate trumpet sounded, the Tubo people retreated like a tide, and the Tang soldiers also sat on the corpse pile one by one.

Zhao Ziliang touched a handful of dried blood on his face, took out a pot of wine from the wrench space and poured it into his mouth, the spicy taste made his whole body numb instantly dissipate, and poured a full half of the pot of wine, Zhao Ziliang threw the wine jug to Nur, who was also like a bloody man at this time, took the wine jug and poured it into his mouth.

Zhao Ziliang looked left and right, and shouted: "All departments count the number of people and count the casualties!" Put away all the bows and arrows you can use! Tell the men to bring dinner, and we'll sit on the corpses to eat today, yes, this battle is ······ Never had dinner on a corpse pile! ”

It didn't take long for Er Zhu to come over with a spear and see that the armor on Zhao Ziliang's body was cut to tatters, countless openings, and three arrows were stuck in his back, and he asked worriedly: "Dashuai, are you okay?" ”

Zhao Ziliang shook his head and said, "It's okay, what about the casualties?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Zhu couldn't help but feel a bitterness in his mouth, and said with a fist: "Today, there are more than 1,000 casualties in one day, and there are only 3,000 infantry left that we can use, and all the people who dig the tunnels have withdrawn, and the Tubo people have set up the camp farther away, and it is useless to dig the tunnels, so they simply don't dig it, and the other three city walls also need to be defended, at least 1,500 people are needed, otherwise the Tubo people may break the city from the other three sides with one move, so we can only use 1,500 people here. If the Tibetans continue to attack the city like they do today, we will only be able to support tomorrow for one day at most!
