Li Shan and 30,000 cavalry were already very close to Zhangyi Town, and as long as they entered Zhangyi Town, they would have time to delay.

However, at this time, Da Langba's troops had also approached Zhang Yicheng, although they were led by Li Shan's cavalry to walk around, but after all, they were not far from Zhang Yi Town, and as soon as they received the news of the marshal, they immediately rushed to Zhang Yi Town.

Once they arrive at Zhangyi Town first, they can be blocked by Li Shan and others outside the city gate, then these 30,000 cavalry will become the meat of the mouths of 100,000 Tubo soldiers.

At the same time, the Tibetan cavalry was also in hot pursuit, and everything was racing against time. This is the truth of the speed of soldiers, and sometimes, fast and slow mean life and death.

"Look, it's the soldiers and horses of the prison army." The Tang army in Zhang Yizhen saw the banner of the Tang army.

Shen Shixing shouted, "Open the city gate quickly and let them in." ”

"It was reported that the Tibetan army had appeared in the south of the city, and the time for about a stick of incense was about to arrive. What to do? "The soldier came to report.

"Open the city gate, I hope Li Shan can catch up. The rest of the soldiers prepared bows and crossbows and stones to defend the enemy from attacking the city. Shen Shixing was also pinching a cold sweat.

"Quick, we'll have to go faster. Rush to Zhangyi Town before the Tubo army reacts. ”

Just before Dalangba's troops arrived, Li Shan entered Zhangyi Town with 30,000 cavalry.

Li Jingxuan looked at the Tubo army that surrounded the city and said, "Li Shan, I'm afraid it's not easy for our 30,000 people to defend this Zhangyi Town." The Tibetan army seems to have 100,000 people. ”

Li Shanye pulled out his sword and said with a smile: "There is no way to retreat, and if you can't defend it, you have to defend it." We have to give Gao Xianzhi and them time to delay, the Tubo army is not prepared to attack the city, and the offensive will not be too fierce in a hurry, as long as we hold on, we can win. ”

Li Jingxuan looked at the 30,000 cavalry who had fought bloodily, and the repeated battles were already sleepy and lacking. There are also many wounds that have not had time to be treated, so they can only be simply bandaged.

Only then did Li Jingxuan realize that without Li Shan's help, he couldn't defeat the Tubo army at all, and couldn't help but regret it: "I was greedy for merit and profit, which led to such a result, I really regret not being at the beginning." So many soldiers have to accompany me to my life. ”

Li Shan patted Li Jingxuan's shoulder and said, "Brother, don't blame yourself too much. Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and now we will talk about it after this hurdle. ”

"Li Shan, it seems that the enemy army is about to attack the city." Shen Shixing came over to report.

"Okay, the whole army is ready to defend the city." Li Shan drew his sword and went up to the city tower.

Li Jingxuan looked at Li Shan and sighed deeply, then pulled out his sword and followed.

At this time, the Tubo marshal under the city tower looked at Li Shan in the city coldly, this was the first time he met Li Shan. I didn't expect Li Shan to be so young, but when the two looked at each other, they both saw the deep hostility between each other.

The Tibetan marshal drank: "Da Langba, prepare to attack the city." ”

Darumba's troops were the siege force of the siege. There are ladders and crashes, and it is difficult to storm a city without these things.

"Li Shan, they're going to attack the city."

"You have to hold on." Li Shan was also terrified when he looked at the black and oppressive Tubo army under the city, once the city gate was breached, their forces really couldn't compete with the Tubo army.

This is a pure battle, a battle between spear and shield. The 30,000 soldiers in the city all went into battle and blocked the city gates. Constantly carrying stones to the walls, archers rained down arrows. Shoot at the Tibetan soldiers outside the city.

The Tibetan soldiers outside the city were also wearing shields to resist the attacks on the city, and one after another ladders drove to the city wall, and the crash was also ready, and they were pushed to the front of the city gate. Violent impact. Each time, with all their might, sawdust flew everywhere, and the soldiers in the city had stakes against the city gates.

"Marshal, the enemy's resistance is very tenacious, and I am afraid it will be difficult to capture it before dark." Darumba's several charges were unsuccessful. I had to report first.

The marshal was unmoved: "Then light the torch and be sure to take Zhang Yizhen as soon as possible." ”

"However, the soldiers don't have much rations, and if they fight overnight, I'm afraid that the soldiers' physical fitness won't be able to keep up."

Da Shuai's eyes were cold, and he rushed to Da Langba and said, "There are only 30,000 people on the other side, and you tell me that you can't capture this small city?" I now command you that you must storm this city before noon to-morrow, or you will come to see you. ”

Da Langba hurriedly took a step back and knelt down on one knee: "The last general must do his best." "Hurry up and pick up this sword and go out again.

"How? Okay, right? Li Shan said to Shen Shixing according to the city wall, the sky had completely darkened, but the Tubo army had not weakened its offensive at this time, but the night still hindered their ability to attack.

Li Shan also had a chance to rest, he also fought for several hours, constantly throwing stones under the city, and even the Tubo army rushed to the city wall several times and was stabbed to death by him.

"You're hurt." Shen Shixing pointed to Li Shan's shoulder.

Li Shan looked down and found that there was a wound on his shoulder, the blood had already coagulated, and he didn't know when he was injured.

"A little injury, it's fine." Li Shan waved his hand, but he felt sore, and his bones seemed to be falling apart.

"If I'm right, our city will be breached by tomorrow morning at the latest. Can Gao Xianzhi make it in time? Shen Shixing was a little worried.

"At this time, we can only trust our brothers. All we can do is delay as much as possible. Li Shan stood up with his sword in his hand and looked at the Tubo army outside.

"They withdrew."

"Well, it's just the calm before the storm, and the next wave will be even more violent." Li Shan looked at the dark night sky.

The sky is hazy, and it is about to light up.

"Kill!" The Tibetan army launched an even more fierce attack.

The gates were already in tatters, and several huge cracks appeared on the gates, and with each impact of the car, you could see the sawdust splashing and clicking, and it felt as if the next impact on the gate would be torn apart.

"I've run out of stones and bows and arrows, and it looks like we're going to have to fight hand-to-hand." Shen Shixing came over to report.

The reserves of bows and arrows and stones were also limited, and the overnight defense had exhausted everything that could be fought. Li Shan also took out his long sword, and without stones and bows and arrows, the enemy would rush up faster and more people.

The real white-knuckle battle began, and if there was good news, the Tang army in the city was at least full of food.

"The gates are broken!" There was an exclamation from the city tower, and Li Shan was also startled, looking at Shen Shixing.

"Hurry up and send people to guard the middle gate, don't let them rush in."

Shen Shixing rushed to the city gate with his people.

Once the city gate is broken, there is no defense to rely on, it is completely hand-to-hand combat, there are already a lot of Tubo troops killed, and the follow-up is still endless, and the Tang army's numerical disadvantage began to be highlighted.

Coupled with the repeated battles, there are more Tibetan soldiers, so more people can be rotated into battle, that is, the physical consumption is less, and the Tang army has fewer people, and under the same defense, the physical consumption is greater.

At this time, Li Jingxuan also highlighted his demeanor as a general, and led his deputy general to rush over and kill him first, blocking the momentum of the Tubo army.

"Your lord, the city gate has been breached." The herald came to report to the tent,

The Tubo handsome man smiled: "Okay, take Zhang Yizhen with a lot of energy." "The losses are not as huge as imagined, although some time is wasted, but if you can completely annihilate the cavalry of the Tang Army, and then capture Li Shan and Li Jingxuan, it will be a very profitable deal.
