Chapter 236: No Fear
The patrol cavalry of the Tang army was arranged in the surrounding range of fifty miles, plus the time when Ma Lan returned, so calculated, the advance of the Tubo people was less than thirty miles away, and they did not have time to discuss it again, so they immediately withdrew into the city in order in turn, and after the break, You Yi rushed all the way into the city gate from the outside, and the moment the gate was finally closed, a large area of smoke and dust appeared in the distance.
Near noon, the sun rises to the sky, and the sunlight is sprinkled on the grass-green earth, evaporating the water vapor on the grass blades into the air, forming a stream of mist, when the light passes through, it will reflect a rainbow, which is very beautiful.
However, this beauty was completely destroyed by the approaching enemy army.
The first thing they felt was the shaking of the earth, the rumbling hooves were like bursts of muffled thunder, continuous, and then, there were black flags, emerging from the boundless dust and smoke, under each banner, there were cavalrymen in black clothes and black armor, the hooves were uniform, and from a distance, it was like a dark cloud, pressing from the sky.
Black clouds crush the city.
It was a tributary of the upper reaches of the river, the water was so shallow that men and horses could wade through, and countless horses' hooves stepped straight through the river, splashing countless splashes, and these cavalry were arranged so closely that they seemed to rub together at the slightest accident, and yet, until they approached the city, they did not show a little distraction and confusion, and when the first team reached the appointed position, it was immediately arranged in a column of three columns, and the second team that followed was neatly lined up on their sides, and so on, right under the noses of the defenders of the city, The Tibetan cavalry that arrived in advance formed a huge phalanx that was enough to cover the entire city, wiping out the traces of the previous Tang people's military camp.
No wonder, Ma Lan couldn't tell their exact number, just this number of people and horses had already exceeded the entire number of the Tang Army!
They are nothing more than fronts.
"No less than 30,000 people." Tian Zhen expressed his judgment.
"Not only that, but there are 50,000 to say the least." Duan Xiushi shook his head, his words aroused the support of the generals, and he was used to spying, so his judgment was naturally closer to the truth.
Whether it is 30,000 or 50,000, it is enough to make everyone's face pale, because from the visual effect, it is the same, that kind of boundless black, deeply shocking people's hearts.
Even Liu Ji is no exception, this is not a special effect made on the computer in later generations, but a real battle formation, these cavalry, without exception, are all heavily armored, and even the teeth are not exposed to the elite, because only such a team can calmly arrange the formation in front of the enemy, neatly as a person.
A strong neighbor that has been established for hundreds of years and has always made Datang, a behemoth, helpless, finally show its fangs!
It took an hour for this army formation to be arranged, and just when the smoke and dust gradually disappeared, and the generals thought that it was over, there was a greater movement from the same direction, and it was a strange tune, from if there was nothing, to slowly clear, it was actually a song.
"What is holding us back, is the high mountains."
"What feeds our people is a continuous stream of water."
"Who led the Tibetans?"
"He is the son of the gods."
"He led us over the mountains, he led us across the rivers, he is the eagle of the plateau, he is the brave man of Tibet, he is our Zampu."
"Chide Zuzan!"
"Chide Zuzan!"
It was the first time for Liu Ji to hear hundreds of thousands of people chanting a person's name in unison, just like the huge energy that erupted when fans chanted a player in the Super Stadium in later generations.
Just behind the black cavalry formation, countless figures appeared from the horizon, they were not wearing uniform clothes, some on horseback, some on foot, holding all kinds of weapons in their hands, singing those strange tunes, the lyrics were straightforward and simple, just a few words over and over, and at the end, even the cavalry who had arrived in advance raised their spears one after another, and they converged into bursts of cheers, which were deafening.
At this time, it is not clear where the generals in the city are, but the king of the Tibetan people has come.
If you can still see the approximate number of the army formation at the beginning, the large number of people and horses that came into contact is really innumerable, and some of the cities were built on high places, and they stood on the high city walls, and they looked down from such a height, and they still couldn't see the edge, the front was already following behind the cavalry, and the back was still coming in a steady stream, as if it was endless.
There is no luck, this is the Tubo people's national army, even if there are many people behind who are not wearing armor, everyone's face is a little dignified, the offensive and defensive situation has changed, and now the Tubo people have become the besiegers, and they have become the turtles in the middle.
It's hard to escape!
The only one who seemed slightly relaxed was Liu Ji, and the corner of his mouth even showed a smile.
"The Tubo people are attacking the country, which shows that they have no way out, how many of us are there? Half of Anxi Town, less than thirty percent of the Beiting reinforcements, even if they are all dead, what loss does it have to my Datang? ”
His voice gradually became louder, overshadowing the hustle and bustle outside the city, attracting the attention of Feng Changqing, Cheng Qianli, Anxi and the generals of Beiting.
"The fortified city is in hand, and there are still 180,000 available people in the city, how many heads do they plan to pile up to fight this city?"
"The Tubo people are already on the verge of despair, and we still have a glimmer of hope, that is, the Helong army, Ge Shuhan, if he can't seize such a good opportunity, how can the Son of Heaven spare him?"
Liu Ji, who was only wearing a robe, did not feel the slightest coldness, only felt that the blood was surging above his head, he pulled out the horizontal knife, held it high above his head, and raised his head with a long roar.
"What are the Han people afraid of!"
"Don't be afraid!"
The Han Chinese who followed him desperately attacked the city responded one after another, and this trend gradually spread to the whole city, and the earth-shattering shouts rang out one after another, overshadowing the loud noise outside the city.
"We are Han Chinese, and we are not afraid!"
The voice of more than 100,000 people shook people's eardrums, and when the voice of the Han people gradually stopped, there was a burst of cheers of different races, and nearly 60,000 elephant males, under the leadership of Xiao Si Xiao Wu, responded without showing weakness, and the sound also shook the four fields.
"Are there any people who are afraid of death?"
"Don't be afraid!"
This kind of situation made the generals in the city look at each other, and Feng Changqing snorted coldly.
"The people are not afraid, we are soldiers who lick blood with knives, let's die, the men of Anxi Town, all stand in front, don't make people laugh, say that we only dare to hide behind the people, Lao Tzu ......"
"I can't afford to lose that man!"
