After the implementation of the second plan, Feng Tang left Qingtang City with a part of his army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

And Jia Lian and Feng Ziying, who stayed behind, also fully assisted the Qingtang County Order to strengthen the city defense, and at the same time collected and stockpiled various war materials.

Sure enough, as Jia Lian expected, after the Tubo people tasted the sweetness of looting, how could they consciously stop.

A few days later, Jia Lian and others received a battle report from Shenwu General Feng Tang, which said: A small army of Tubo entered the village of our Celestial Dynasty to loot, was surrounded by our legion, and finally annihilated this Tubo army, and now General Feng Tang is mobilizing the people to take refuge in Qingtang City.

The Tibetan people were arrogant, and for more than ten years, in order to recuperate, the Celestial Empire only sent envoys to negotiate every time a Tibetan soldier invaded the territory, and in the end, it was painless every time.

This time, the Celestial Empire withdrew its envoy Zhang Tingyu and other officials, and now Feng Tang has violently and directly annihilated the Tubo soldiers.

It is conceivable from this that this move will inevitably make the Tibetans furious, and the day when the Tibetans invade the Celestial Empire is not far away.

So in the following days, the people of the Celestial Empire near Qingtang City had groups of people in pairs every day, bringing their family business to Qingtang City to seek refuge.

He Jun, the county commander of Qingtangcheng who had been prepared for a long time, immediately took the county officials and officials to busy relocating these people who had lost their homes every day.

And the city defense of Qingtang City has been handed over to Jia Lian for unified command at this time.

Half a month later, Shenwu General Feng Tang came with the news of a large-scale assembly of the Tubo army.

After that, according to the plan, Feng Tang resolutely fought with the Tibetan army on the border between the two countries.

However, Feng Tang did not stubbornly defend the border, but only fought and retreated with the Tubo army, with the purpose of preserving strength and delaying time.

In this way, the Tubo army thought that the army of the Celestial Empire was really not strong in combat, and suddenly became more vauntful, and the army gathered more and more, gradually reaching 300,000 people.

The heads of the large and small nobles in Tibet have long coveted the prosperity of the Celestial Empire, and they all want to take this opportunity to cut a piece of meat of the Celestial Empire, so they rushed to enter the territory of Xiping County of the Celestial Empire.

Shenwu general Feng Tang commanded a total of 70,000 troops, and left 20,000 in Qingtang City to defend, and now he is 50,000 against 300,000 of Tubo, naturally fighting and retreating, on the one hand, not to give the Tubo army a chance to encircle and annihilate themselves, on the other hand, but also to fortify the wilderness, not leaving a house and a grain for the Tubo army, and finally retreat to Qingtang City in an orderly manner.

After General Shenwu retreated into Qingtang City with his army, the former army of Tubo also arrived twenty miles away from Qingtang City.

At this time, Jia Lian naturally would not be greedy for power, and happily handed over the commander-in-chief of the defense of Qingtang City to Feng Tang, the general of Shenwu, and then he only took the two hundred and seventy-eight Jinyi troops under his command, as well as Feng Ziying's three hundred dragon guards to assist in the defense.

In the afternoon of the same day, the Tubo army approached the gate of Qingtang City.

It's just that the leaders of Tubo looked at this twenty-meter-high miracle city, and they were a little daunted.

Because the Tubo army was good at field warfare, there were not many siege tools brought by them, and now in the face of this never-before-seen high city, the original wall ladders brought were only half the height of the Qingtang city wall.

Even if two stairs are connected to one, it is so barely enough for people to climb the city wall, but such a high distance will undoubtedly make the besieging side pay countless times the casualties.

On the other hand, the side defending the city can increase its attack power exponentially, whether it is a bow and arrow, or other stones, horizontal logs, etc.

For this reason, the major leaders of Tubo argued endlessly in the military tents, and some people proposed to besiege but not attack, trapping Qingtang City to death.

However, due to the implementation of the fortified wall and clearing the wilderness in Xiping County at the beginning, with the military rations brought by the 300,000 Tubo army, I was afraid that before I was trapped in Qingtang City, I would starve to death outside Qingtang City first.

Someone else proposed to ignore Qingtang City and directly bypass and attack other cities.

But this idea was quickly rejected by others, because as long as the Tubo army dared to bypass Qingtang City and enter the Heavenly Empire, it was equivalent to the back road of the Tubo army would always face the threat of Qingtang City.

At that time, nearly 100,000 troops in Qingtang City, whether it was going out of the city to cut off the back road of the Tubo army, and attacking the Tubo army before and after; Or divide tens of thousands of troops to directly attack the territory of Tibet, and then I am afraid that the consequences will be unimaginable!

And it is unrealistic to leave here, the Tubo army mobilized 300,000 people to gather 300,000 to enter the Celestial Empire, first of all, their own consumption is incalculable, if they return in vain, I am afraid that no matter who it is, it will not be acceptable.

In the end, the major leaders of the Tubo army came to the conclusion that if they wanted to enter the Celestial Empire and make a big profit, they must first pull out the threatening nail of Qingtang City!

It's just that in this way, who first attacked the city as cannon fodder has become a topic of conversation among the leaders of Tibet.

Jia Lian stood on the high city wall, watching the 300,000 Tubo army surround Qingtang City for two days, and there was not even a tentative attack.

This alone is enough to make Jia Lian proud.

At this moment, Jia Lian thought: Your Majesty, I have successfully attracted 300,000 Tubo troops under this Qingtang City, and then defended according to the city, consuming the sharpness and endurance of the Tubo people, and when they are exhausted, it is the day when the Tubo army dies and has no place to be buried! I just don't know if the emperor will really have the ability to disagree with the public when you arrive, and drive the expedition in person, so as not to shock the ministers with miraculous feats! If this is the case, you and I will have no worries.

On the second day, the Tibetan army finally assigned the order of attack, and then began to attack tentatively.

Jia Lian stood behind Feng Tang and talked and laughed with the Shenwu general.

After the enemy army entered the range of bows and arrows, Feng Tang decisively ordered the arrows to be released.

The dense rain of arrows suddenly caused countless casualties to the enemy, and the twenty-meter-high city wall made the bows and arrows of his side shoot farther.

After the archers of the Celestial Dynasty shot three rounds, the bows and arrows of the Tubo army were sparsely shot at the head of the city, and even if they were shot, most of them were weak and weak, as long as they did not hit the eyes and throat, even the leather armor of ordinary soldiers could not penetrate.

In this way, after the archers of the Celestial Empire fired two more volleys, the Tubo army had not even approached the walls of Qingtang City, and this first round of attack failed.

Seeing the retreat of the Tubo army, General Feng Tang mercilessly let the archers continue to shoot two rounds, so countless arrow feathers were inserted into the backs of the Tubo people, and in the end, only a small part of the Tubo army escaped from the range of the archers, so they were able to survive temporarily.

Repelled the enemy's first attack so easily, and even his own side still had no casualties, how not to let the whole Qingtang City rejoice, the soldiers slapped their weapons one after another, and yelled at the Tubo army in the distance.
