At this time, Wang Xiang naturally didn't have the heart to retreat to Xunzhou, seeing Wang Xiang running in the direction of the pass, the soldier sent to protect Wang Xiang hurriedly caught up, and hurriedly said: "Tubo is about to arrive in the city, there is danger ahead, Hou Ye should retreat to Xunzhou." ”

Wang Xiang ignored the dissuading soldiers behind him, and quickened his pace with a calm face, and the closer he got to the pass, the more anxious he became.

There are not many people in the border city, Zhang Cheng has done a good job of evacuation in advance, and now those who remain in the border city are the Lingnan defenders and a small number of rebels, most of these rebels are the guards and guards in the homes of the big families in Lingnan, and there are no eggs under the nest, once the Tubo conquers Lingnan, their good days will come to an end, so they don't need Zhang Cheng to mobilize them to take the initiative to send the guards and guards in the house to act as the rebels, although these rebels can not fight with the regular Tubo army, they can help the Lingnan defenders do some logistics work.

The 100,000 Tubo army Chen Jun Border Zhang Cheng did not dare to sleep at all, let the soldiers defending the city take turns to rest, and he put on this armor and took a nap on the command platform of the city wall, and then got the news from the scouts, and the Tubo army took advantage of the night to pull out and come to the pass.

When Wang Xiang climbed the city wall, Zhang Cheng was commanding the defenders, and he didn't notice him at all.

"Master Zhang, where is the Tubo army?"

"Master Hou?" Zhang Cheng frowned and shouted, "Hu Liu! Didn't you let you escort Hou Ye to retreat to Xunzhou! The Tubo army soon attacked the city, and quickly took the Hou Ye away! ”

Hu Liu, who was trotting all the way behind Wang Xiang, was full of grievances, he wanted to escort Wang Xiang back to Xunzhou, but Wang Xiang didn't want him to knock people out and take them away.

Wang Xiang said: "Don't blame him, I'm coming, Master Zhang doesn't have to worry about me, I can protect my safety, where is the Tubo army now?" ”

As soon as the words fell, a low roar was heard in the distance, and the earth seemed to tremble slightly. Everyone was amazed.

The sky was not bright, and his vision was greatly affected, and he couldn't see the movement in the distance at all, Zhang Cheng's ears moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Listening to the voice, the cavalry of Tubo is already less than three miles away from us. ”

Three miles is 1,500 meters, and the distance of 1,500 meters does not take long for the cavalry to rush over, Zhang Cheng hurriedly shouted: "Archers prepare!" Archers ready! ”

The city wall suddenly resounded with the sound of "brushing, brushing, brushing". Thousands of archers drew their bows and arrows, waiting for the command to shoot en masse, which was the most common method used by the defending side to effectively stop the attacking troops.

However, with such a low visibility, the situation in the face of the 100,000 Tubo army is not optimistic, and the range of ordinary archers is only about 100 meters, and no matter how far it is, there is no lethality, counting the height of the city wall and the method of projectile, it will have to wait until the opponent enters the range of 200 meters to cause effective damage, and everyone is nervous.

Two hundred meters is too dangerous! Wang Xiang's eyes froze.

If the other party has a magical person like Tie Dan, once he enters the city gate within a range of two hundred meters, it will be dangerous!

The 30,000 defenders wanted to defend the Tibetan army and the 100,000 army relied on the city wall. The gates must not be lost!

"Machine gun team ready!"

Wang Xiang shouted, and the eight groups of machine gun teams that had been arranged before immediately adjusted the position of the machine guns and stood by solemnly, the effective firing range of the heavy machine guns was about 1,500 meters, and at this time Tubo had already entered the effective firing range!

Before Zhang Cheng could understand the meaning of Wang Xiang's shouting, he heard him give another command.

"Shoot!"

Zhang Cheng was shocked when he heard this, Tubo was still nearly three miles away from the pass, and even if Li Guang was reincarnated at such a long distance, it would be impossible to cause harm to the Tubo army, wouldn't this add to the chaos!

The archers defending the city all heard Wang Xiang's shout. However, none of them are fools who go to the battlefield for the first time, and naturally know that bows and arrows at such a distance have no effect at all. And the real conductor has not yet spoken, so he has not loosened the strings.

Zhang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that Wang Xiang would "make trouble" again, and was about to let someone "invite" him away, when he suddenly heard a "sudden" roar in his ears, which was rapid and loud. The burst of fire was very striking in the hazy night.

The crowd didn't know what was happening, and they all looked at the machine-gun team lying on the battlements of the city wall in astonishment.

The roar of the machine gun completely drowned out the other sounds, Zhang Cheng didn't know what the situation was in front of him at all, and he couldn't judge the distance of the Tubo army and couldn't command the archers to defend, and his heart suddenly felt cold.

I knew that I should have let someone knock Hou Ye out and send him back to Xunzhou! This Lingnan is over......

Wang Xiang didn't know what Zhang Cheng was thinking. Eight heavy machine guns fired for about two minutes, and tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition were sent into the Tibetan army.

Suddenly, a strong and loud voice pierced the sky, and the roar of the machine gun could be heard clearly.

How could the Tibetans suddenly withdraw from the army?

Although Wang Xiang didn't know much about ancient warfare, Mingjin still knew about it, and in order not to waste bullets, he fired for about half a minute, and Wang Xiang ordered the machine gun team to stop firing.

As soon as the gunfire stopped, the sound in the distance suddenly became clear, the neighing of the war horses, and the screams of the soldiers...... The Tibetan army seems to have suffered heavy losses.

Zhang Cheng was shocked in his heart, looked at the heavy machine gun closest to him, Ding Xiaoan was twisting his body excitedly, his whole body was slightly numb after nearly three minutes of strafing, but he was extremely excited in his heart.

waited until the sky turned white and Tubo did not launch a second attack, and there was silence on the pass, and everyone seemed to be waiting for something.

Finally, the sky grew brighter, and the field of vision became wider, and everyone guarding the city wall looked into the distance, and when they saw the situation ahead, they all let out an exclamation.

Zhang Cheng's face was full of disbelief, the open space thousands of meters away was full of corpses of war horses and soldiers, roughly estimated to be thousands of corpses, and these corpses were naturally from the Tubo army.

A few thousand casualties were nothing to the 100,000 Tubo army, but the distance of less than two hundred meters caused such a large number of casualties, and they didn't even know what was going on, so of course they didn't dare to attack rashly at this time, so they decisively withdrew their troops.

Seeing that the Tubo army had retreated to five miles away, Zhang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his face became even more strange when he looked at Wang Xiang.

"This ...... Is this caused by the secret weapon that Hou Ye said? ”

Wang Xiang has experienced a lot of things, Wang Xiang is no longer as jerky as he was at the beginning, the battlefield is life and death, in order to protect the people around him, he can't be merciful to the enemy, if the Tubo army captures Lingnan, they will definitely not show mercy to the Tang Dynasty army and people.

Wang Xiang took a deep breath and nodded, his eyes were full of determination: We must defend Lingnan!
