Nur with three hundred pikemen blocked the gate of the inner city and stood still, the weapons in his hands did not stop doing assassination movements, once every two seconds, very rhythmic, the Tubo cavalry who rushed over were stabbed to the ground in rows, screaming, howling, the sound was very penetrating.

The front could not enter, and the Tubo cavalry behind was still rushing to the front, and it didn't take long for every inch of the entire urn city to be crowded with Tubo cavalry, until the three thousand vanguard cavalry all entered the urn city, and almost saw the urn city full.

The urn city can no longer stuff more Tubo cavalry, and the second wave of Tubo cavalry is galloping towards the city gate, Zhao Ziliang stood at the head of the city and saw it, and immediately ordered: "Put away the city gate drawbridge!" ”

The noose was twisted by the winch, and the city gate was slowly pulled up, just as the Iron Blade Sinoro was about to rush into the city gate, and the Iron Blade Sino was very vigilant, and when the city gate was pulled up, he immediately stopped his horse and shouted: "Stop advancing, stop advancing, retreat, retreat!" ”

Although Zhao Ziliang had seen the iron-bladed Xinuoluo a few days ago, but the distance was too far to see the appearance clearly, and it was night, for the reason of sight, he did not recognize that the leader of the second wave of the Tubo army was the iron-bladed Xinuoluo, if he knew that the leader of the second wave of the Tubo army was the iron-bladed Xinuoluo, he would definitely not care about this little time, and then pull up the noose and close the city gate after the iron-bladed Xinoro entered the city gate.

At the moment when the city gate was closed, the inside and outside of the city quickly became two different worlds, Zhao Ziliang took out his sword and ordered Zhang Shouyu: "General Zhang, the city tower and the west city wall will be handed over to you!" ”

Zhang Shouyu clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, general!" ”

Zhao Ziliang nodded, carried the knife and did not take the stairs, jumped directly from the city tower and landed outside the city gate, swung the knife and slashed more than a dozen times in a row, and in the blink of an eye, he cut over the dozen or so Tubo cavalry who were facing away from him in front of him, and shouted: "Array!" ”

More than a hundred soldiers of the Tang Army who pretended to be black-clothed men had already discarded the long knives in their hands at this time, replaced them with spears, and quickly lined up in a neat and dense queue under the command of Zhao Ziliang to block the hole in the city gate. Zhao Ziliang had just cut down more than a dozen Tubo cavalry and alarmed the Tubo cavalry near the city gate, and these Tubo cavalry turned their heads and saw that the city gate was closed, and they were blocked in the urn city, and they were immediately in a hurry.

The Tibetan centurions and the commanders immediately commanded their cavalry to prepare to seize the city gate, they were carried away by the victory just now, and did not replace these black-clothed men with their Tibetan cavalry at the first time, at this time it was too late to seize control of the city gate.

"Kill!" While slashing at the Tubo cavalry who had turned their horses' heads and wanted to seize the city gate, Zhao Ziliang loudly ordered the pikemen behind him to keep stabbing the other Tubo cavalry on both sides with the spears in their hands, and stabbed them down one by one.

Uniform movements. The rhythmic assassination made the Tubo cavalry unguardable, dodging the spear stabbed on the left, but was stabbed to death by the spear stabbed on the right, this is the great power of the army array, a person alone may be able to kill a dozen or twenty soldiers in a row, but if these soldiers are in a military formation and start at the same time, the lethality brought by it is definitely not as simple as one plus one equals two. This is the difference between an army formation and a straggler.

The shouts of killing kept ringing out, the spears kept stabbing out, taking more than a dozen lives each time, and the Tubo corpses at the gate of the city gate were layer by layer.

That's when it happened. Under the rare command of Wang, all the Tang archers who were ambushed on the walls on both sides of the urn city stood up, and the bows and arrows in their hands were aimed at the Tubo cavalry below.

The king roared: "Release the arrows—"

"Whoosh ······"

An overwhelming array of arrows shot into the Tibetan cavalry below, and the Tibetan cavalry let out a series of screams and the mournful screams of the horses. One by one, the Tibetan cavalry fell in a pool of blood after being shot by arrows.

The massacre, it was a massacre, and the three thousand Tibetan cavalry trapped in the urn city were powerless to fight back. The inner and outer gates were blocked, and the walls on both sides were impossible to climb, and the Tibetan cavalry could not exert their strength even if they wanted to counterattack, so they could only be shot one by one in the non-stop sound of bowstrings.

A strong bloody atmosphere shrouded the sky over the entire urn city, and the Tubo cavalry fell and died, and after being shot dead by more than a thousand Tubo cavalry, the king raised his palm and shouted: "Stop firing arrows!" ”

The herald immediately gave the order: "Stop firing arrows—"

In an instant, there was no more bowstring sound, but the screams continued, and Wang rarely looked at the remaining 2,000 or so Tubo cavalry trapped in the urn city and shouted: "You have been completely trapped to death, and surrendering on your knees is the only way to survive!" Surrender or die! ”

The archers of the Tang Army on the urn city shouted in unison: "Surrender to death, surrender to death······".

Under the huge shouts of the Tang army, the frightened Tubo cavalry saw the hope of survival, "dang", finally the first Tubo cavalry dropped their weapons, jumped off the war horse and knelt on the ground with their heads, there was the first and the second, and soon the Tubo cavalry surrendered one after another, and the three commanders wanted to stop all this, and successively cut down more than a dozen of their cavalry but still failed to stop the trend of large-scale surrender.

When all the Tibetan cavalry dropped their weapons, jumped off their horses, hugged their heads and knelt on the ground to surrender, Zhao Ziliang put away his sword and put it into the sheath, walked up to the city gate, and ordered Zhang Shouyu: "Send someone down to watch the prisoners, Qingli's corpse, and clean up the battlefield!" ”

Zhang Shouyu said: "General, now that our army is tight, there are nearly two thousand Tubo cavalry here, and we will at least assign another thousand people to guard these prisoners, so that our army's strength is even thinner, and the last general is worried that this will cause insufficient city defense troops!" ”

Zhao Ziliang thought for a while, and said in a voice without the slightest tone: "Then kill them all!" First send people down to separate these captives and war horses, take the Tibetans to the city wall to concentrate on guarding, take away all their war horses and weapons, and then execute all the captives, and finally dispose of them together with all the corpses! ”

Zhang Shouyu's face turned pale when he heard this, and his tone trembled: "General, slaughtering prisoners will be criticized, if it is known by some people in the court who have eaten enough and have nothing to do, the general will inevitably be attacked by them, saying how the general is brutal by nature and how inhumane ······."

Zhao Ziliang raised his hand to stop Zhang Shouyu from continuing, at this time Wang Rare had already rushed over, and just heard the conversation between Zhao Ziliang and Zhang Shouyu, for a military general like him with a family background, killing prisoners is not a terrible thing, sometimes he is in a bad mood to kill some prisoners, kill them, he has long been accustomed to them, but this time there are too many people to kill, but Zhao Ziliang is the main general, and he cooperates well with Zhao Ziliang, there is no contradiction between the two, out of consideration for Zhao Ziliang, He also thought that such a large-scale massacre was really inappropriate, and came over and said, "General, what General Zhang said is not unreasonable! ”

Zhao Ziliang sighed: "If it weren't for the lack of a way, General Ben would not be willing to kill so many prisoners, although it was an enemy, but it was also a fresh life, and they all surrendered, killing so many people, General Ben couldn't bear it, but now our forces are limited, if we divide our forces to watch the prisoners, our troops for city defense will be even weaker, for the safety of everyone in the city, General Ben can't take this risk, if you have any good way, you can say it."

Wang Rare and Zhang Shouyu glanced at each other, both shook their heads and sighed.

Zhao Ziliang saw that the two of them had no good way, so he could only order with a straight face: "Since there is no other way but to execute these prisoners, General Wang, you can execute them, solve them with bows and arrows, and clean up the battlefield as soon as possible." In addition, he sent someone to inform Ge Shuhan and asked him to take over Ma Lan, and ordered Ma Lan to immediately lead people to search the homes of Zhou Zhuchen, county lieutenant Ma Yukun, wealthy businessman Liu Chongyang and others, confiscate all family property, interrogate their families, and if their families are in the same party, see if they can pry anything useful out of their mouths, and if it is confirmed that they have no knowledge of this matter, leave them some money and let them go! ”

"No!" The two agreed.

Zhang Shouyu said again: "General, even if their families don't know anything about this matter, they can't let these people go, according to the usual practice, their families should be sent to the official for investigation, the men should be sent to the border to be used as military personnel, and the women should be sent to the teaching workshop to be used as official prostitutes."

Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "Forget it, the disaster will not be for the family, it is enough for them to bear the things they have done, there is no need to implicate their family members, if they are implicated in their families, then their families have no hope, only despair!" Let's do it, if anyone wants to hold them accountable, General Ben will bear the responsibility! ”

Zhang Shouyu hurriedly said: "The general here is the person with the highest position and status, since the general has decided so, this matter is naturally decided, no one is qualified to trouble the general, and the last general will send someone to arrange it!" ”。

The Tubo soldiers who surrendered in the urn city were escorted to the city walls on both sides and lined up to stand, a pair of Tang soldiers picked up the weapons on the ground, and the war horses were also led away one by one.

Seeing that all the weapons in the urn city had been taken away, and the more than 2,000 war horses that had survived had all been brought into the inner city, Wang Rare immediately ordered: "Release the arrows!" ”

A large number of bowstrings sounded again, and the Tubo soldiers who surrendered saw that the Tang army did not keep their promises, and even went back on their word to shoot them all here, and immediately some people scolded hysterically, and there were also many Tubo soldiers who rushed to the city gate and the stairs of the city tower with their bare hands, wanting to fight with the Tang army.

The resistance was futile, and the Tibetan prisoners who had not yet rushed to the city gate and the staircase of the city tower were shot and killed one by one, and more Tibetan soldiers could only watch as the arrows entered their bodies and fell to the ground and died.

After all the Tibetan captives fell to the ground and died, the entire urn city was terrifyingly quiet, Zhao Ziliang stood on the city tower and waved his hand expressionlessly: "Gather all the corpses and burn them and clean them up!" ”

"No!" (To be continued.) )
