Many years later, when Zhang Yi and Zhang Xin recalled Tashi's 100 horsemen, they always sighed with emotion, "It's too coincidental." www.biquge.info"Yes, Tashi's surprise attack was too coincidental.

First of all, the defenders of Liangzhou Dongcheng were seriously insufficient, because the previous siege of the three city walls in the southwest and north by Tubo caused the Liangzhou Assassin Shi Cui Han to misestimate the current battlefield situation, and took it for granted that since the Qinling chose the tactics of "besieging three queyi", he would not attack Dongcheng, so he took the risk of drawing out most of the troops in Dongcheng to strengthen the defense of other aspects, which directly led to the fact that when Tashi captured the gate, there were only two armies of Dingbian and Shunyi in the entire Dongcheng with less than 4,000 people to defend the city wall more than two miles longOn average, each buttress is less than one person. This number is not even one-sixth of the usual number, and even far less than the estimated 10,000 people in the tomb.

Secondly, Dongcheng not only has a serious shortage of troops at the macro level, but also has a big problem with the combination of troops in Dongcheng itself. The 4,000 people of the Dingbian and Shunyi armies were basically all government soldiers who lacked training and equipment, and at that time, Dongcheng could be called an elite only two military marquis's personal soldiers and half of the Modao battalion, adding up to less than 500 people. Usually there is nothing to see in defending the city, but when an emergency arises, such as this time Tashi seized the gate, these soldiers immediately made a mess, wasting a whole cup of tea time to organize the first wave of attack, and it was the tea time of this bowl that Tashi used horse corpses to build a rudimentary but absolutely useful defense line in the cave of the city gate.

In the end, it was a mistake in command. It was lunch time when Tashi seized the door. Because the wartime rule was to take turns to eat, Zhang Yi's pro-army team dragged on until the end before starting to eat, and it happened that at this time, Tashi suddenly seized the city gate, which directly caused Zhang Yi to be unable to put the elite forces in his hands into the battlefield at the first time. On the other hand, it stems from Zhang Yi's negligence, because since yesterday Zhang Yi began to worry that Tubo would launch a general attack at the East Gate today, so he subconsciously decided to bring this "unknown source" scout team into the city as soon as possible, so as not to carefully check their customs clearance documents.

In fact, just when the earth-shattering "Gong Wei Ke Qin" sounded, Zhang Yi felt that his whole brain was blank, and his head was full of "It's over, it's over." The whole person stood on the city tower in a daze, and there was no reaction for a long time.

Zhang Xin saw that Zhang Yi was actually stunned at such a critical time, and couldn't help shaking Zhang Yi anxiously, "Junhou!" Soldier! The Tibetans have entered the city! ”

Zhang Xin immediately woke up Zhang Yihuang with these two blows, and Zhang Yi knew that he must not panic at this time. Now everyone in the city is watching his every move, if you don't panic, there is still the possibility of turning the tables, if you panic, then Liangzhou City will really be finished.

Zhang Yi settled down and shouted loudly: "The pro-soldiers team will come with me, and the others will guard the city wall." There is only one hundred-man team at most, and they can't afford to make any waves! With that, he grabbed a spear and rushed down the tower. After Zhang Yi finished yelling, the pro-soldiers immediately shouted Zhang Yi's order. The sound of hundreds of people roaring in unison was not small, and it immediately filled the entire East City.

Tashi's seizure came too suddenly, and the soldiers were in a mess, but after hearing Zhang Yi's order, the soldiers seemed to have found the backbone and immediately settled down.

Although the soldiers are not in chaos now, the anxiety in Zhang Yi's heart has not decreased at all. Zhang Yi knew that he could only treat the symptoms for the time being, and if he couldn't take back the city gate immediately, the city of Liangzhou would be broken today.

Zhang Yi hurriedly felt the city gate with his personal army, only to find that the Shunyi army had already exchanged fire with Tashi's white team. The gate of Liangzhou is tall, but it is only enough for ten people to pass side by side. Now the city gate was tightly heaped with Tashi's horse corpses, and the corpses of fallen horses were piled up in a circular line of defense, blocking the door.

The Shunyi army had already launched two attacks, but the city gate was too narrow, and only a dozen or so people in the front row could fight the Tubo people at one time, and the others could only watch from behind. Tashi was carrying the most elite blackshirt army in Tibet, and he easily overturned the Tang army that rushed up one-on-one.

The Shunyi army left countless corpses in front of Tashi's horse corpse array, but they did not even break through Tashi's first line of defense. When Zhang Yi arrived, the Marquis of the Shunyi Army was already in a hurry, and he personally drew his sword and launched a third attack with his personal army.

Tashi saw an officer-like Tang army commanding the charge in the city gate cave, and laughed in his heart, "Idiot, is such a conspicuous hillbilly a target for me?" But he was not slow at all, after cutting down a Tang army with a knife, he inserted the horizontal knife in his hand into the horse corpse in front of him, bowed in his hand, and took a closer look, only to hear the sound of a string of "jumping", and the officer twenty steps away immediately inserted a wolf's tooth arrow into his throat, and the officer's eyes widened, as if he had seen something incredible, and his mouth made two "ho-ho" sounds, and he fell to the ground softly.

Tashi sneered, took the knife in his hand again, slashed a Tang soldier to death with a backhand, and laughed loudly: "Haha, just with the waste of the Tang people, Lao Tzu can break Liangzhou City alone!"

Although they knew that Tashi was really bragging, the blackshirts still laughed and shouted, "Tashi is mighty! The morale rose in vain, and the horizontal knives in his hands cut melons and vegetables one by one, and the Tang army who rushed up was hacked to death.

Originally, the combat effectiveness of the government soldiers was far inferior, but now the Shunyi army marquis was killed by Tashi with an arrow, and the morale was even more scattered. Seeing that the Tubo people were chopping melons and vegetables, they killed the Tang army who rushed to the front of the battle, and the rest immediately stopped moving.

Seeing this, Zhang Yi knew that the morale of the Tang army had been discharged, and hurriedly gave the order for the Tang army to retreat. The remaining Tang troops breathed a sigh of relief and immediately withdrew.

In an instant, there was a moment of silence on the battlefield. Tashi's hundred-man team and the Tang army faced each other across the position of horse corpses, and the two sides were only a few dozen paces apart.

Zhang Yi stared at Tashi dozens of steps away, it was he who deceived him into opening the gate of Liangzhou City he guarded. Tashi seemed to feel something, and also looked at Zhang Yi, smiled defiantly at his murderous gaze, and then cut off the head of a wounded Tang soldier who was struggling in front of the battle.

Zhang Yi felt a burst of anger rushing to his head, the killing intent in his eyes became stronger, he held the handle of his saber in his hand, and slowly pulled out the knife. However, just when Zhang Yi was halfway out, a big hand suddenly pressed Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi turned his head to look, and a big man wearing iron armor and carrying a giant Mo knife on his back pressed his hand to draw the knife, and said angrily: "Marquis, leave it to us." This terrain is better suited to us. ”

Zhang Yi hatefully inserted the knife into the scabbard, "Okay, don't let those mongrels die too happily." ”

The big man smiled fiercely through his helmet, strode to the front of the formation, and shouted: "Modao Battalion, array!" In an instant, a big man wearing iron armor and carrying a one-man Gao Mo knife poured out from behind the big man, neatly forming a sharp arrow needle for attack.

Dahan looked at the neat formation, raised the Mo Dao with both hands and slashed down, and shouted: "Mo Dao Battalion, kill!" The ironclad man behind him immediately roared in unison: "Datang Wansheng!" ”
