Chapter 108: Pressure
Qin Ruyue and Cheng Mahua, the two female generals, were sent by Jiang Dazhi to rescue Yazhou City, and they rushed all the way to the east gate of Yazhou City.
Yazhou City is built on the mountain, therefore, this city is relatively small, and there are not many people in it.
In addition, the north and south sides of Yazhou City are high mountains with thousands of walls, and only one east gate goes to Yizhou City, and one west gate goes to the Snow Mountain City of Tubo country.
Judging from the terrain alone, Yazhou City can be regarded as easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Therefore, this city has an unusual significance for the Tang Dynasty to defend the Tubo State.

"Sister, this Yazhou city is so majestic!" Cheng Mahua stood on the horse, looked at the tall city wall of Yazhou City and said.
"Well, Sister Hua, fortunately, we came in time, looking at the situation of the defenders at the east gate, the army of Tubo should not have arrived yet." Qin Ruyue said on the horse.
"Sister, what should we do next?"
"Let's go visit Taishou-sama first."
"Okay."

The first fierce general of the Tubo Kingdom, Dazaru Gong, led 30,000 divine soldiers from Snow Mountain City all the way to Yazhou City.
At this time, the five thousand divine soldiers led by Dazarugon's vanguard general Wolf Skin had already come to a place five miles away from Yazhou City, and they could already faintly see the west gate and city wall of Yazhou City.

At this moment, the sound of Dada's horses' hooves coming from the camp of the Tubo Kingdom has reached the ears of the soldiers guarding the city at the west gate of Yazhou City.
The guards at the west gate of Yazhou City knew that the sound of Dada's horses' hooves was not a return, but a prisoner, and their hearts were secretly taken aback, although it was not the first time they had seen the divine soldiers of the Tubo Kingdom.
The heralds are hurrying to the Taishou Mansion and the General Soldier's Mansion, and they need to immediately report the matter of the Tubo Army's pressure to the Taishou Xu Heihu and the Chief Soldier Chen Zhaowu.

Chen Zhaowu quickly came from the General Soldier's Mansion to Xu Heihu's Taishou Mansion.
The housekeeper of the Taishou Mansion led Chen Zhaowu to the living room, served tea, and asked him to wait for Lord Taishou.
However, at this time, Chen Zhaowu was still in the mood to drink tea, and he was pacing back and forth in the living room in a hurry.
"General Chen, the Tubo State suddenly raised troops to attack, can our five thousand soldiers be able to hold it?" Xu Heihu just walked into the living room and said while bowing to Chen Zhaowu.
"Hey! General Li led the army to rescue Jiazhou City, and he must not be able to divide his troops to rescue Yazhou City. Chen Zhaowu also saluted Xu Heihu with a fist, and said with a sad face.
"General Chen, defend the city gate first, and the old man immediately repaired the book and sent it to Chang'an City, asking the emperor to send troops to rescue."
"Hey! Lord Xu, far water can't save near fire! Will we, the 5,000 soldiers, be able to hold out until the rescue troops in Chang'an City arrive? β
"Hey!" Xu Heihu let out a long sigh when he heard Chen Zhaowu's words.

One of the attendants of the Taishou Mansion ran into the living room, although he knew that the master and General Chen were discussing important matters, and they were in a very bad mood, and it could even be said that they were extremely low, but he still ran in desperately.
"Master, two female generals came outside, saying that they came to assist the master in resisting the army of the Tubo Kingdom."
"What? Two female generals? Xu Heihu said in surprise.
He was only very surprised, firstly, because the army of the Tubo Kingdom had just arrived at the city of Yazhou City, how could they know? The second reason is that the two female generals also dared to go to deal with the divine soldiers of the Tubo State, which was also something he had never heard of.
"Please!" Xu Heihu hurriedly said.
"Yes, sir."

After Qin Ruyue and Cheng Mahua followed the attendants of the Taishou Mansion into the living room, they saw Xu Heihu and Chen Zhaowu who were pacing in the living room.
"The last general will meet the two adults." Qin Ruyue and Cheng Mahua bowed and said in unison.
"Who are the two generals?" Xu Heihu asked puzzled.
Qin Cheng and the others introduced themselves one by one, Xu Heihu and Chen Zhaowu heard that these two were the descendants of Qin Qiong and Cheng Biting Jin, the five founding tigers of the Tang Dynasty, and they were all embarrassed in their hearts.
"The two generals are behind the gate, so it is also a great honor for the old man to have you to assist the old man in resisting foreign enemies. However, how did the two of them know that the Tibetan Congress had raised troops to invade the territory? Xu Heihu couldn't wait to ask.
Qin Ruyue clenched her fists and said: "General Jiang Dazhi, the chief inspector of the rivers and lakes and the general manager of the Great Interior, learned the news that the Tubo State was about to raise troops to invade the territory in Yizhou City, so he specially called the two generals to come to ventilate and report the news to help resist the army of the Tubo State, and General Jiang has sent people to Chang'an City to beg for reinforcements, and I believe that the help of the imperial court will arrive soon." β
When Xu Heihu heard Qin Ruyue's words, he said with some excitement: "Great, this time, the old man really wants to thank General Jiang!" β
When Chen Zhaowu heard Qin Ruyue's words, the sadness on his face also dissipated slightly, but his face was still pale, because he knew that if the Tubo State forcibly attacked the city, their five thousand soldiers would only be able to hold on for one day.
"Lord Xu, Chen will go to the city to watch the military situation first."
"General Chen, let's go with you." Cheng Mahua said eagerly.
When Chen Zhaowu heard Cheng Mahua's words, he immediately smiled and said: "Very good, both of you are behind the gate, and you will definitely be able to make great achievements!" β
Chen Zhaowu said goodbye, bowed to Xu Heihu, and then walked out of the living room.
"General Xie Chen."
Qin Ruyue and Cheng Mahua hugged their fists and said, and, bowing to Xu Heihu, and then followed behind Chen Zhaowu and walked out of the living room.

Outside the west gate of Yazhou City, the vanguard army of the Tubo Kingdom has already set up a position one mile away from Yazhou City.
A person flashed out of the vanguard brigade, but seeing this person riding on a horse, his face was hideous, his stature was not tall, and although his limbs were short, he was unusually strong, this person looked up at Yazhou City, and immediately shouted loudly: "The Tang soldiers on the city tower have listened to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is the deputy vanguard general of the Tubo country, if you know each other, quickly open the city gate and surrender, so as not to die under Lao Tzu's knife." β
Chen Zhaowu saw the formation of the Tubo Kingdom on the top of the city tower, and when he heard the words of the sheep's horn, he really had a trace of fear in his heart.
Although he fought several battles, each time he hid in the army, and when he saw that the situation was not right, he was the first to escape.
As for his position as the chief soldier, he also relied on his ability to pat Li Ming on the back and have a good relationship with Li Ming, so if you want to lead troops to fight, he can be regarded as a complete.
"General Chen, please relax, wait for our two sisters to go and meet this horn for a while." Qin Ruyue saw the fear flashing on Chen Zhaowu's face, and immediately said loudly.
"Okay, General Qin, General Cheng, I will allocate 2,000 men and horses to you, you must not lose the face of your ancestors!"
Qin Ruyue said: "Please rest assured, General Chen, see how the two of us capture and kill the enemy general." β
Cheng Mahua said: "If you are defeated, you will be dealt with by military law." β
"Okay." Chen Zhaowu said with a smile on his face.
He deliberately said a radical word, no, Qin Ruyue and Cheng Mahua are very useful.
At that moment, Chen Zhaowu issued an order, asking Qin Cheng and the two female generals to light up 2,000 military horses and go out of the city to meet the enemy.
