The Tibetan army was like a dark cloud crushing the city, rolling in.

Everything was so sudden for Leon!

This time, he was just idle in Shanzhou City, so he found an excuse to patrol Tuntian to go out to play in the mountains and rivers, never thought that he had just encountered an ambush in Bayan Mountain, and when he arrived in Hechuan to defend and capture, he encountered the attack of the Tubo army.

Li Ang was a little skeptical that he had hit an evil spirit.

Now there are only one hundred and seventy people left in the entire Hechuan guard, and all the soldiers who can fight have been sent to the head of the city by Fang Jue. The golden drum on the city wall was still rumbling, and it was like a rush, shaking people's blood and numbness.

All the soldiers unsheathed their swords, wound their bows, and stood ready for battle; A small number of young people in the city were also quickly organized, carrying rolling stones and sassholes, shouting and shouting on the city, and people running.

In the valley to the south, the Tibetan army poured out like a tide, endlessly, and the whining horn resounded throughout the mountains, echoing endlessly, and the people roared and neighed, and the sound was huge.

Fang Juan saw it, and was so anxious that he scolded his mother while sending someone to ask for help.

As a front-line border city, Hechuan often had to face sudden attacks from the Tibetans. If the defenders in the city had not been dispatched, Fang Juan would not have been so anxious, but now there are only one hundred and seventy people left in the city, and the Tubo army that came to attack is afraid that there will be tens of thousands, and in comparison, the disparity in strength is too great.

Fortunately, Hechuan was built on a dangerous pass, Li Ang looked at it, the passage on the south side was only about ten meters wide, the left side was a high cliff, and the right side was a deep cliff, which could not accommodate many soldiers and horses to attack the city at the same time, and this ten-meter-wide passage was inclined down, and it was more difficult to attack it from the back.

But at this moment, all the difficulties were ignored in the face of the frenzied Tibetan army, and the enemy did not even make the slightest pause or deployment, like a raging torrent. Rushed up to the sound of a whining horn.

"Roll the stone sasshole!" Fang Juan slammed his sword on the battlements and shouted loudly.

The Tang army on the head of the city immediately took action, pushing the rolling stones and sassalwood one by one down from the head of the city, in the sound of a roaring impact. The rolling stone and sassage trees rolled down the slope below the castle, unstoppable.

The swarming Tubo soldiers and horses were knocked over on their backs, and they were wounded, and some were directly knocked down the cliff on the right, like stones falling, and the screams echoed in the valley one after another, like ghosts crying wolf howls, which is terrifying.

The trumpets of the Tibetans sounded even tighter. Whining urging, the Tibetan soldiers on the mountain road stepped forward one after another, stepped on the corpses and blood of their comrades, kept shouting and rushed up, and the rolling stones and trees on the city head were dense like rain, rumbling down, knocking the swarming Tubo army to fall one by one.

The Tibetans held their shields and climbed as close to the mountain walls as they could on the left and right. As soon as they entered the range of the bow and arrow, a rain of arrows like locusts shot towards the city. The Tang army at the head of the city also pushed down the rolling stones under the rain of arrows. Soon there were casualties, and a Tang soldier beside Li Ang was shot in the face, and the sharp arrow penetrated through the bone and came out from behind the ear, and the soldier who was hit by the arrow covered his face and fell screaming, and the blood splashed in Li Ang's eyes. Immediately made his eyes red.

"Shoot!"

Fang Ju's roar was like thunder, and the tall figure jumped up and down, commanding the Tang army at the head of the city. Powerful crossbow arrows roared down the mountain trail.

The Tubo people who rushed in front were shot down in rows, some were shot like hedgehogs, and fell on the mountain road and convulsed violently, and the mountain road was soon covered with corpses, full of vague flesh and blood, and the blood even merged into a trickle, flowing down the mountain road, and the bloody wind was pervasive.

"Catapults! Fast! ”

Fang Jue's whole body was soaked with sweat, and he ran to this side and yelled at the people below. Due to the large number of dead and wounded of the Tibetans, the corpses were piled up, and the rolling stones and sassals pushed down by the head of the city were blocked, and they often did not roll far before they were catapulted into the abyss on the right.

The two catapults under the city immediately moved, and a group of seven or eight Tang soldiers struggled to pull the rope backwards, using the principle of levers to throw dozens of catties of stones. The boulders roared over the city, and they smashed down the mountain path like meteorites.

The Tibetans, who were rushing upwards in a swarm, were so frightened that they screamed in horror. The boulder smashed down on the head, like thunder and explosion, boom, the Tubo people who had no time to dodge were smashed into meat cakes, the flesh and blood burst out, the boulder immediately bounced up, rumbled down along the mountain road, the Tubo people on the mountain road were like the waves ploughed by the bow of the ship, they were hit and rolled around, and they couldn't bear to gamble.

This kind of terrifying lethality that is not stoppable by manpower greatly reduced the momentum of the Tubo people who rushed up, and the offensive was also suffocated.

The Tang army at the head of the city cheered and cursed angrily, rows of crossbows fought endlessly, and the chaotic arrows whizzed down, shooting the Tubo people who barely rushed up to the ground, and the thick smell of blood was blown up by the mountain wind, and it was smoking!

However, the Tibetans did not flinch, and after the first wave of onslaught was blocked, the second wave of onslaught followed. Obviously, the commander of the Tubo is a very clever person, the second wave of Tubo people rushed up with some crude tripods in their hands, and they rushed up in a group carrying this tripod against the mountain wall, which was covered by a shield, which could not only block part of the crossbow arrows of the Tang army, but also the rolling stones that rumbled down, and were often blocked by the tripods made of this log, and were obliquely dropped into the abyss on the right.

Fang Juan had never encountered such an attack, seeing that most of the rolling stones and sassal trees that had been pushed down had lost their lethality, and although the offensive action of the Tubo people was a little slower, it was very effective, and the closer it was getting closer, he was as anxious as an ant on a heat disaster.

"What to do? Lang Jun, what can I do? Wu Xuan was also anxious to ask Li Anglai. There are too few defenders in the city, once the Tubo army attacks the city, if the two sides fight to consume, I am afraid that the Tang army will not last long.

As soon as Wu Xuan finished asking, the rain of arrows of the Tubo people had already risen into the air, shooting towards the city in waves, and the whizzing arrows were like a torrential rain, crackling and hitting the city.

Li Ang hurriedly hid under the battlements, and then shouted at the other party: "Captain Fang, this can't be done, you quickly divide twenty of the bravest men to me and open the city gate......"

As soon as Li Ang roared here, Fang Juan hurriedly shouted: "The enemy is about to rush up, are you crazy?" How can the city gates be opened at this time! ”

"Captain Fang, the enemy's tripod must be destroyed immediately! The enemy is too close, the catapults are out of reach, and now the only way to destroy the enemy's tripod is to open the city gate for a counter-charge, otherwise it will be too late for the enemy to rush to the city! Captain Fang, Lao Tzu personally led the team out of the city, if you want to die, I will die, what kind of bird are you afraid of! ”

In addition to what Li Ang said, Fang Juan had no other better way for a while, and at this imminent moment, he could no longer afford to think about it, so he gritted his teeth and quickly selected twenty brave men to hand over to Li Ang.

Coupled with Zhang Zikang's ten people, Li Ang stood in the city gate with thirty people each holding a big shield, and his whole body was full of strength waiting for the city gate to open.

Several Tang soldiers rushed to the door, pulled the latch, moved the boulder blocking the door, and in the deafening sound of war drums, the city gate was opened with a bang!
