In the next two days, there was no movement of the Tubo army outside the city, and Zhao Ziliang knew that the Tubo general Iron Blade Xinuoluo pinned the hope of breaking the city on the inner Ying Zhou ministers in the city, so he paid close attention to all the movements of Zhou Zhuchen.

On the afternoon of the thirteenth day of the siege, Zhao Ziliang secretly dispatched a thousand elite veterans from all over the four city walls to secretly ambush the urn city wall of the west city wall.

In order to keep it secret, Zhao Ziliang arranged the location of the meeting at his home in the city, and there were only a few participants, namely Wang Yuan, Ge Shuhan, Ma Lan, and Zhang Shouyu.

Zhao Ziliang first introduced the situation, and then said: "A certain has already drawn two hundred and fifty elites from each of the four city walls to ambush on the city wall of the urn city at the west city gate, a total of 1,000 people, these are all veterans, combat effectiveness is no problem, now this general has to make some deployments and arrangements, Ma Lan, tonight the duty and defense of the south city wall will be handed over to you, you are responsible, you must not relax your vigilance!" ”

Ma Lan stood up and clenched his fists and arched his hands: "General rest assured, his subordinates dare not slack off!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, and said to Zhang Shouyu: "General Zhang, you are responsible for commanding the troops on the southern city wall, especially checking the city gate and noose in detail, once the Tubo army rushes into most of the city, wait for the general's order to close the city gate immediately!" Shoot the Tibetan army that is blocked outside the city, use bows and arrows, stones, rolling wood, etc., and kill as many as you can."

Zhang Shouyu stood up and hugged his fists and said, "Obey!" ”

Zhao Ziliang said to Wang Rarely: "General Wang, your injuries are not light, and you are not suitable to kill the enemy in person, so you will command six hundred archers on the wall of the urn city, once the city gate falls." He commanded the archers to shoot the Tibetan soldiers who were imprisoned in the urn city with all their might."

Wang rarely hugged his fists and said: "The last general will take the order!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Ge Shuhan and said, "Ge Shu, how is your injury?" Can you still fight? ”

Ge Shuhan looked at his right arm hanging with a strip of cloth, gritted his teeth and said, "I can fight!" ”

Zhao Ziliang looked at Ge Shuhan's arm and sighed, "Forget it, Ge Shu." You can't use any more force on your arm, and if the wound tears again, your arm may be ruined! In this way, instead of Ma Lu, you will take the street patrol soldiers to patrol everywhere, and you must ensure the security and stability of the city."

Ge Shuhan looked at his right arm again, and finally gave up, and said to Zhao Ziliang: "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, and said to the servant standing on the side: "You go and call Nuer!" ”

"No!"

Noor was quickly called. Saluted to Zhao Ziliang and said, "What's the matter with the master's name Nur?" ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "Nur, tonight the enemy will sneak attack the west city gate, we have ambushed a large number of troops inside and outside the urn city of the west city gate, just wait for the Tubo army's internal response and the Tubo army outside the city to seize the city gate, we will first kill the inner response who wants more city gates, and then pretend to open the city gate to let the Tubo army think that their internal should have been successful, and wait for the Tubo army outside the city to come in, we will close the city gate and destroy all their troops entering the urn city." I want you to take 300 pikemen to block the gates of the urn and the inner city to prevent them from rushing into the city! ”

Noor hadn't had time to say yes yet. Ma Lan asked, "General, why don't you close the gates of the inner city, but let Nur lead people to block the gates of the inner city?" You must know that once the Tibetan army rushes into the city, Nuer and the others may not be able to stop it! ”

Zhao Ziliang said: "It's not that I don't want to close the gate of the inner city, but I can't close it, and the urn city is not big." The distance between east and west is less than fifty zhang, and if the inner city gate is closed, the Tubo army that rushes into the outer city gate will definitely hesitate, and their speed will slow down, and only the inner city gate will be opened. But someone is blocking the city gate, the Tubo army will rush forward desperately, you don't have to doubt the strength of Nur, Geshuhan, Wang is rare, even if you are not injured, it is not necessarily his opponent, hand over the inner city gate to him, I am relieved, and I will take a hundred sword and shield soldiers to hide behind the city gate, once the city gate is closed, I and a hundred sword and shield soldiers will form a formation to strangle the Tubo army in the city gate to snatch back the city gate, once the city gate is closed and the Tubo army is blocked in the urn city, the king is rare, you have to take the archers on the city wall to shoot the Tubo army with all your strength, Until you shoot them all! ”

Several people nodded after listening to Zhao Ziliang's words, and Zhao Ziliang asked again, "Do you have any other questions?" If you have one, bring it up now, if not, go back and prepare immediately, and have dinner early to get ready for action."

Several people stood up and saluted Zhao Ziliang: "No! ”

Night fell, there was no moon tonight, almost out of sight, the temperature began to drop after nightfall, and the cold wind blowing from the northwest made a whining sound in the night, which made Zhou Zhuchen, who poked his head out of the door, shout in his heart: "God help me!" ”

The howling of the cold wind can somewhat drown out the footsteps of a large number of people walking, and the darkness of the night also adds to the concealment of the operation.

Calculate the time, those people should also come with the guards at home, Zhou Zhuchen just muttered in his heart, there were some messy footsteps from not far away, and when the group approached, Zhou Zhuchen saw the face of the leader Li Tiancheng, the county lieutenant, through the light of the lantern in front of the door.

Zhou Zhuchen immediately opened the door and greeted him, as soon as the two met, there were no extra words, just nodded to each other, Li Tiancheng stood at the door and whispered to the people he brought: "Quick, go in!" ”

When everyone entered the gate of Zhou Zhuchen's house, the two walked in quickly, and the gate was closed, Zhou Zhuchen just counted the number of people brought by Li Tiancheng, the number was not too small to meet his requirements, he pulled Li Tiancheng to walk at the end, and asked in a low voice: "Why are there only thirty people, didn't I ask you to gather at least fifty people?" ”

Li Tiancheng said with a bitter face: "You think I don't want to?" There are only so many people who can be trusted, can you ask me to bring all the county soldiers? Bring them and let them go? ”

This is true, Zhou Zhuchen muttered in his heart, he thought, Li Tiancheng only has thirty people, if the others bring the number of people as requested, then to get together three hundred, he must add another three hundred people to fill Li Tiancheng's vacancy, so he gritted his teeth, reluctant that the child could not catch the wolf, so he could only fill in all the manpower he had prepared.

It didn't take long for Ma Yukun, a businessman from the county seat, Liu Chongyang, He Dayou and others to rush over with manpower one after another, and these people all brought the required number of manpower according to what they said.

After gathering the number of people, Zhou Zhuchen immediately asked his subordinates to bring out the weapons, a total of 158 swords and 150 spears, which he had to get with great effort.

After distributing all the weapons, Zhou Zhuchen calculated the time, and felt that it was almost over, and it would take some time to rush from his house to the West City Gate, so he gathered a few people to make the final deployment.

Zhou Zhuchen said to Li Tiancheng and the others: "County Lieutenant Li, you and I will lead people in front, you are the county lieutenant, and you are responsible for patrol matters, if you encounter a patrol, you will come forward to send them, and the other three will walk behind with their respective people!" After arriving at the inner city on the west side of the city gate, County Lieutenant Li is also responsible for diverting the attention of the defenders and solving the defenders of the inner city gate as quickly as possible, there are not many defenders there, only ten soldiers, I will let my men solve them with bows and arrows, and then we open the inner city gate and quickly rush through the urn city to the outer city gate, kill the city tower and the soldiers under the city, and seize control of the city gate, the matter is as simple as that, but I want to ask you to think clearly, at this time, you must not hesitate again, since you decide to do it, you must be ruthless to the end, Only by snatching control of the city gate can we have a way to live, so you can only fight hard this time, but don't worry, the Tang army definitely didn't expect us to attack at the west city gate! Do you all understand? ”

County Cheng Ma Yukun sighed: "Things have come to this point, we just don't want to do it, we can only bite the bullet, there is nothing more to say, let's go to the west city gate!" ”

Zhou Zhuchen nodded and waved: "Go!" ”

The gate opened, and three hundred men marched quickly towards the west gate with knives and guns.

On the way to the West City Gate, in order not to arouse the suspicion of Zhou Zhuchen and others, Zhao Ziliang also specially arranged two patrols to patrol on the road they must pass, which made Li Tiancheng use his identity as a county lieutenant to deal with the past, and the patrol team only thought that they were changing guards at the West City Gate, so they didn't care.

Walking near the inner gate of the West City Gate, Zhou Zhuchen and everyone else's hearts began to be nervous, this must be a real battle, to the death, and I don't know if I can succeed, but since I have come here, I can't go back, it can really be said that I am ready to fly, and I have to send it!

The ten soldiers guarding the gate of the inner city gate quickly discovered Zhou Zhuchen and his party, and a gang leader immediately stepped forward with a big knife and asked, "Who is it?" ”

Zhou Zhuchen gave Li Tiancheng a color, Li Tiancheng nodded and walked over quickly, shouting as he walked: "A certain county lieutenant Li Tiancheng, I heard that there may be a sneak attack by the Tubo army here at the West City Gate, General Zhao ordered me to bring people to reinforce me!" ”

The questioning man was puzzled: "We may have a sneak attack by the Tubo army here?" No, it's been quiet here, and there is no sign of the Tibetans·······."

At this time, Zhou Zhuchen saw that Li Tiancheng had successfully attracted the attention of the ten defenders, and immediately waved his hand: "Do it!" ”

The twenty archers behind him suddenly opened their bows and shot arrows at the ten Tang soldiers at the city gate, including four on the city tower and six under the city tower, all of whom were killed by arrows without exception.

When Zhou Zhuchen saw that the blow was successful, he immediately waved his hand and shouted: "Quick, open the city gate!" ”

Li Tiancheng immediately ran over with his men to open the city gate and firmly guard the inner city gate, Zhou Zhichen saw the inner city gate open, and immediately pulled out his waist knife and pointed at the outer city on the opposite side of the urn city: "Kill, kill!" ”

Behind him, the county Cheng Ma Yukun, the wealthy businessman Liu Chongyang and others pulled out their weapons and rushed into the urn city with Zhou Zhuchen and others, and the three hundred people let out a large number of shouts and killings. (To be continued.) )
