Mo Ying, the defender of the original stone country who surrendered to the big cannibal, didn't know that the big cannibal wanted to abandon him and break through, Said asked him to lead his troops and horses to guard the east city wall, but he just let him create the illusion that the big food army was still holding on, and he was kept in the dark, and at the same time he didn't find that the Tang army might attack the city next, he found that the Tang army camp was smoking, he thought that the Tang army would not attack the city today, and he and his subordinates were abandoned by the big cannibal like fools.

When the Tang army finished dinner and was organizing the siege of the city, all the big cannibals in the city had quietly assembled in the city and were preparing to break through to the west, and Mo Ying was still faithfully leading his men to cover for the big cannibals.

In the west city gate, more than 2,000 food troops have all been assembled, because it is too hurried, so each of them only brought five days of dry food and water, this expedition in Sogdia grabbed all the gold, silver and jewelry left in the city, the big cannibals know very well, now food, who and weapons are the guarantee of their survival, and gold and silver jewelry will only become a burden to them, so Said forced the order that no one is allowed to carry gold and silver jewelry, and the gold and silver jewelry piled up in the city is about to be cheaper Tang Army.

Said and several of his subordinates rode at the front of the entire procession, and a bearded subordinate asked, "Your Excellency, are we really going to break through the West Gate?" What if they set up an ambush outside the West Gate? ”

Said shook his head and said: "No, the West City Gate leads directly to the desert, a bare one, nothing, the army ambushes can't hide, and the Tang Army surrounds three sides, leaving only this West Gate outside the fence, the purpose is to force us into the desert, let us die in the desert, but they forget that we cannibals are born to live in the desert, how can these hundreds of miles of desert trap us?" From here all the way west through the six hundred miles of desert is the Yaozhishui River, as long as we arrive at the Yaozhishui River, we will walk out of the land of death, we have five days of dry food and water, so we have to march more than 120 miles a day to get out of this desert before the food and water are eaten, this is still very difficult for us who live in the desert, but it is not impossible, if we can meet the oasis halfway, our hope of survival will be greatly increased! ”

It's not that Said doesn't want to bring more food and water, but bringing five days' worth of use is already the limit of every soldier, because this is to ensure that there is enough speed to escape from the pursuit of the Tang army, and if the army carries more than five days of food, grass and water, it will not be able to get rid of the pursuit of the Tang army.

Staying here is undoubtedly a dead end, breaking through from the West Gate, taking the desert and escaping back to the Great Food Country, although you may be buried in the desert, but the hope of this road of survival is much greater, several generals nodded after listening to Said's words, "Your Excellency the Governor, give orders, we will follow you and rush out of the West Gate!" ”

Said drew his scimitar and pointed at the city gate: "Open the city gate, and all the soldiers will go out with the governor!"

A few soldiers turned the winch, and the noose lowered the noose, and the city gate drawbridge was lowered, and the light shone into the city gate hole from outside the city.

"Kill it!" Saeed brandished his scimitar and rode his horse first, and some of his guards immediately followed him, while other generals and officers rushed out of the yellow sand outside the city with their soldiers.

The time of the big cannibal in the city exceeded Zhao Ziliang's expectations, he originally thought that with the Tang army's siege strength and the lack of equipment and materials in the city, the big cannibal would abandon the city and flee after holding on for two days at most, but now the big cannibal has held on for three days, although the casualties are heavy, but the tenacity of resisting the time, if this situation continues, the big cannibal fights to the death, then the strategy he made to encircle three queyi and force the big cannibal into the desert is not meaningless?

Zhao Ziliang walked slowly back and forth on the handsome platform with his hands behind his back, thinking about how to reduce casualties and let the big cannibals abandon the city and flee as soon as possible, when Chen Qing came over and said: "General, Zhao Hu and our 1,000 infantry are all ready, ready to attack the city at any time!" ”

Zhao Ziliang turned his head to look at the sun that was about to set in the west, and was about to give the order to attack the city, when a large number of shouts came from the direction of the west city gate, and then colorful fireworks rose in the sky.

Zhao Ziliang and Chen Qing looked at each other at the same time, and said in unison: "The big cannibal really can't hold on!" ”

Zhao Ziliang reacted and immediately said to Chen Qing: "Pass my general order and order Ah Xijie Qianquan to immediately lead two thousand light horsemen to chase and kill the big cannibal!" At the same time, Zhao Hu was ordered to immediately lead the troops to attack the city! Remember to tell Zhao Hu that the big cannibals left in a hurry, and most of the gold, silver, jewelry, food, grass and ordnance that they robbed in the city must have been left behind, after the city is broken, let him protect it, don't let those barbarians rob it! ”

Chen Qing arched his hand and said, "Yes!" ”

The war drums and trumpets of the siege soon sounded, and a thousand Tang troops lined up in a neat phalanx to advance towards the city wall, the soldiers in the front row carried the ladder, and the Tang soldiers in the middle held a shield in one hand and a horizontal knife in the other, and behind them were the Tang soldiers pushing the well, and there were dense Tang archers standing on the well.

Compared with the Tang army's siege steps and methods, the siege of the barbarian soldiers a few days ago can be said to be miserable, the Tang army infantry divided the siege process into multiple steps, step by step, first of all, the trebuchet threw stone bombs and fire oil bombs at the head of the city and the city wall, comprehensively suppressed the enemy army at the head of the city, and hit the morale of the enemy army.

The second is the front row of Tang troops carrying a siege ladder to the city wall, these Tang troops are only responsible for lifting the ladder is responsible for the ladder can safely lean on the city wall, they are not responsible for climbing the city wall to fight with the enemy, the Tang army in the middle is the main force of the siege operation, they hold a shield in one hand, hold a horizontal knife in the other hand, and bite the horizontal knife in their mouths when they rush to the city wall, raise a shield in their left hand to resist the attack from above the city wall, and climb up with their right hand holding the ladder, and at this time the trebuchet all stop the stone bombs and oil bombs, and the enemy army at the head of the city shows its head again.

The Tang army archers on the well kept firing arrows at the enemy at the head of the city, killing and wounding a large number of enemy troops while providing fire support and cover for their own siege troops.

After many Tang troops climbed the city wall to fight with the enemy, the mission of the Jinglan troops was completed, and the Tang soldiers below continued to push Jinglan closer to the city wall, and the Tang archers on Jinglan immediately put down the cross bridge and set up the city wall, and dropped their bows and arrows, took out their swords and shields, and rushed up the city wall from the cross bridge to join the battle group.

Each step was orderly, methodical, and not chaotic at all. These siege steps of the Tang army have been trained thousands of times, and each step is seamlessly connected and coordinated, step by step, like flowing water, without the slightest pause, so that the enemy is overwhelmed.

At the beginning of the big cannibal's breakthrough outside the west city gate, Mo Ying's face changed, he only heard the voice and didn't send anyone to check, he knew that he and his subordinates were decisively abandoned by the big cannibal, he was not the only one who found out, and all his subordinates on the city wall knew that they had become outcasts.

So the morale dropped to the freezing point, if it weren't for Mo Ying still guarding the city wall, these stone troops who had joined the big cannibal with Mo Ying would have thrown their weapons and fled in all directions.

After the Tang army attacked the city, Mo Ying and the soldiers barely resisted for a while, but he found that his subordinates were not the opponents of the Tang army at all, and his morale was very low.

Without the command of the commander, the enemy army was defeated quickly, and the soldiers began to scatter and flee, Zhao Hu led people to rush to the city wall without much effort and soon occupied the east city gate building, and the stone soldiers who could escape fled to the city, and saw that the stone soldiers who could not escape lost their weapons and knelt down to surrender.

Zhao Ziliang searched for it and found that there was no Mo Ying among the captives, so he immediately grabbed a prisoner by the collar and asked, "Where is Mo Ying?" Say it quickly, or so-and-so will kill you! ”

The captive was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" I said, he ran to the west gate with a dozen of his own soldiers! ”

Zhao Hu immediately said to the adjutant general: "You take three battalions and four battalions to gather prisoners and clean up the battlefield!" One battalion and two battalions come with me! ”

The city gate was quickly opened, Zhao Hu found a horse under the city wall, got on the horse and quickly chased after the Tang army with a few prisoners who knew Mo Ying and two battalions of Tang troops, and just walked to the middle of the city when he met a group of people, one of the captives pointed to the leader of the group of enemy troops and shouted: "He is Mo Ying!" ”

When Zhao Hu heard this, he immediately shouted: "Mo Win, where to escape?" Come on! ”

Mo Ying saw a young Tang Army general rushing over with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and his face turned pale with fright, and he shouted in his heart: "It's over, it's over!" ”

It turned out that Mo Ying had just run outside the West City Gate with his own guards, but he happened to bump into Ah Sijie Qianquan leading the troops to chase after the rear of the Great Food Army outside the West City Gate, and more than a dozen of them rushed out of the West City Gate and were seen by Ah Sijie Qianquan's subordinates, so some barbarians killed them, where did he dare to fight hard? He had to let his personal guards divide half to resist, and he himself returned to the city with the remaining half of his personal soldiers to prepare to find another way to escape.

When Mo Ying saw Zhao Hu killing, he was horrified and immediately shouted: "Quickly block them, block them!" ”

Where does Mo Ying still have any prestige at this time, his own soldiers have long seen him abandon the soldiers and other personal soldiers, and when they saw the Tang army killing, some of them immediately took advantage of his unpreparedness to seize his weapon, pressed him to the ground and surrendered to Zhao Hu.

Zhao Hu rode his horse to Mo Ying, picked up his chin with a three-pointed two-edged knife, looked at him and asked, "You are Mo Ying?" ”

Mo Ying was so frightened that his face was pale, "The little and the villain are exactly, the general spares his life, the general spares his life!" ”

Zhao Hu wanted to kill him with a knife, but when he thought that this person was the culprit who killed Geshu Mountain, he shouted to the soldiers beside him: "Come on, arrest these people, and tie Mo Ying up and send it to Miss Geshu Luoyan!" ”

"Order!" The soldiers agreed, and quickly stepped forward to tie Mo Ying up strongly, while the other Tang soldiers arrested these stone soldiers who threw themselves at them. (To be continued.) )
