readx; The sky was over, and the situation of the fierce battle of the last night in the last city was revealed in the sunlight, and then there was a shocking tragedy, the moat was dyed red, the corpses under the southern city wall were piled up, the highest part of the corpse pile was more than three feet, the charred city ladder was still curling with green smoke, the air was filled with a pungent stench, and on the battlefield in the distance, there were smashed ground buckets and rafts everywhere, and the big stones were lying around bloody corpses.

He Lou Yurun stood at the head of the city, looking at the corpses scattered outside the city, he also had a trace of palpitations in his heart, judging from the situation in front of him, the casualties of the Tubo army were at least more than 10,000 people, a battle of more than two hours, there would be 10,000 casualties, you can imagine how tragic the battle was last night.

The Tang army was exhausted, wrapped in military blankets or sleeping bags, and each of them curled up in the leeward under the battlements and fell asleep, and the city was full of patches of blood, which was shocking.

At this time, a sergeant ran over, bowed down and said, "General Qiyu, the count has been completed." ”

"How much?" He Lou Yurun turned around and asked.

"General, our army lost 1,266 killed and wounded 1,980."

Nearly half of the casualties were killed in a battle, and He Lou Yurun couldn't help sighing, if it weren't for the sudden arrival of the 20,000 Tubo troops later, the Tubo people would not dare to invest so much, or because the disparity in strength was too great.

"General, more than 200 people have died on the Minfu's side."

"Don't mention that bunch of garbage to me!"

At the mention of Minfu, He Lou Yurun was annoyed, if they hadn't been in trouble in the west of the city last night, they wouldn't have been so passive, the city almost fell, He Lou Yurun's eyes fell on the three lone trebuchets, they were also affected by last night's fire, almost all of them were burned, and only a pair of blackened shelves remained.

He Lou Yurun swallowed a breath, now that he is short of manpower, he still needs these people to help, thinking of this, he ordered left and right: "All the dead people's families, each family will give one hundred silver dollars, to appease well, and then go and collect other people, let them dismantle five trebuchets on the east and west sides and install them here." ”

The left and right generals agreed, and went separately to do things, He Lou Yurun looked at the Tubo camp again, there are still more than 40,000 people in the Tubo army, if they launch the same attack as last night, I am afraid they will not be able to resist, when will their reinforcements come?

At this moment, several small black dots flew from the sky, "Pigeon! A soldier shouted.

He Lou Yurun's spirits perked up, he saw clearly, sure enough, it was a carrier pigeon, only to see three carrier pigeons hovering for a moment and falling into the city, and in a moment, a soldier rushed over.

"General He Lou, it's a letter from the general."

He Lou Yurun took the letter tube, it was still a red gold ring, but there was no address, He Lou Yu Run was a little confused, he pulled out the letter tube, but it was empty, there was no letter, he looked at the soldier who sent the letter suspiciously, and the soldier was so frightened that he quickly shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

He Lou Yurun was stunned, why didn't he believe it? And there is no address engraved on the letter tube, what is going on? At this time, he suddenly asked, "What about the carrier pigeon?" Go ask a few of the lieutenants in Crossbow City and ask if they know each other. ”

The soldier galloped away, at this time He Lou Yu Run faintly understood what Li Qing'an meant, but he still needed to confirm that he didn't dare to guess before there was sufficient evidence, and after a while, the messenger came again, and he said excitedly: "General He Lou, those three carrier pigeons are all carrier pigeons from Dianhe City." ”

"And so it was!"

He Lou Yurun was so excited that he struck with his fists, Li Qing'an's army had already arrived, he was afraid that the carrier pigeon would be shot down by the Tubo army, so he didn't release the letter, but used another way to remind himself.

Thinking of this, he looked to the east and didn't see the figure of the Tang army, but He Lou Yurun's mood became extremely happy, and he suddenly turned around and shouted: "Go and tell the whole army that our reinforcements have arrived, and you should cheer up!" ”

The news spread all over the city, and the whole city cheered, and the whole city was jubilant.

．．．．．．． Although Li Qing'an was very cautious, his arrival was still noticed by the Tubo army, the problem was not that Li Qing'an's main army was discovered by Tubo spies, but that the team delivering grain and grass was ambushed by the Tang army brigade of about 5,000 people last night, 200 carts of forage and 300 carts of cattle and mutton were all intercepted, nearly 300 soldiers and 500 logistics personnel were killed, and only two people escaped, and it was these two people who transmitted the news of the Tang army's attack on the supply convoy back to the camp.

Shang Jiasu couldn't help but be shocked, the Tang army of 5,000 people, which means that the backup of the Tang army is coming, and what worries him even more is that the 5,000 Tang army is going south, where will they go? Needless to say, he must have been Ulan Lake, where the logistics of their 40,000-strong army were located.

Shang Jiasu was very anxious in his heart, although he deployed 3,000 troops to defend Ulan Lake, but the number was still small, if he was really attacked by the Tang army on Ulan Lake, the consequences would be unimaginable, how could his 40,000 army survive? And the end of the city is not like Hehuang, Hehuang can also rob civilians, thousands of miles here are deserted, let him go where to get grain, at present they only have three days of grain, war horses forage is less, only enough for two days, you can go to Ulan Lake from here, at least three days.

Shang Jiasu began to panic, if the army retreated to Ulan Lake, and the logistics of Ulan Lake were gone, then the 40,000 army was cut off from food, and it was in the barren plateau and wilderness...... Shang Jiasu only felt two tremors, and the consequences were so serious that he felt a burst of fear in his heart, what should he do? What can be done to resolve the immediate crisis? Shang Jiasu looked at the high and end city wall in the distance, he actually knew that there was another way to solve it, that is, to conquer the end of the city, and the food in the city would definitely solve the existential crisis in front of him.

Although the leather bucket is gone, they still have about eighty ladders in their hands, and they can fight again, from last night's battle, he also found the weakness of the Tang army defending the city, that is, the lack of troops, if they fight again, and the end of the city will definitely be able to conquer.

Thinking of this, Shang Jiasu made up his mind, and he resolutely ordered: "Pass my order and attack the city again!" ”

In the early morning, the morning sun had just shone on the city, and the battlefield had not yet had time to be cleaned, and the offensive drums in the Tibetan camp sounded again.

"Boom! Boom! Knock ......"

Groups of Tibetan soldiers began to pour out of the camp and quickly assembled in the open space in front of the camp, and Shang Jiasu once again threw in an army of 30,000, this time, the next 20,000 fresh troops as the main force to attack the city.

The drum shook the earth, and it sounded again just after the end of a big war, making people's hearts stop beating, but the drums of the attack made He Lou Yurun's heart fall into the abyss, originally thought that the Tubo army would retreat south after learning that the nest was attacked, but he didn't expect the Tubo army to be ruthless, and then attack the end of the city, which made He Lou Yurun have to admire the strategy of this Tubo general, which is undoubtedly a chestnut in the fire.

"Damn, it's so difficult for Lao Tzu to be promoted to the next level!"

He Lou Yu Yun was ruthless, and kicked the sleeping Tang soldiers beside him, "Get up all for Lao Tzu!" Damn, the Tibetans are calling again. ”

At the top of the city, he heard only the roar of Helou Yurun, and he kicked the sleeping soldiers awake one by one, and the soldiers were so tired that the drumming of the Tibetans could not wake them up.

"Get up! Bastard, don't sleep, hurry up! ”

The soldiers were woken up one after another, and they stood up with sleepy eyes, staring blankly at the Tibetan army that began to assemble in the distance, when the bell at the head of the city rang again, and the voice was extremely sharp and piercing, 'Dang! While! While! ’

All the Tang troops rushed to the city, in addition to the seriously wounded soldiers, the lightly wounded soldiers also bandaged their wounds, and returned to the battle, they shook their spirits, stretched their bows and arrows, and prepared for another bloody battle.

"Brothers, the general's tens of thousands of reinforcements are a hundred miles away, as long as we hold on for two more hours, as long as two hours, we can completely defeat the enemy, brothers, today's battle will definitely be recorded in the history of the Tang Dynasty!"

He Lou Yurun hoarse voice to the soldiers to do the final battle mobilization, the Tang army is also rapidly assembling, counting the lightly wounded soldiers, the Tang army with combat effectiveness still has 5,000 people, He Lou Yurun is most worried that the Tubo army is attacking from the north and south at the same time, they still have 40,000 people, it should be done, now the only hope is that after last night's bloody battle, the Tubo army no longer has so many siege weapons, last night destroyed hundreds of siege ladders, he believes that there are not many siege ladders in Tubo, can not carry out two-sided combat.

Facts have proved that He Lou Yurun's judgment is correct, the Tubo army does not have so many siege ladders, they can not organize a two-sided attack, the Tang army has just entered the combat readiness, the first wave of the Tubo army's siege team, about 15,000 people will be killed, the black three phalanx army lined up in a vertical line, like a big river flowing, from the southwest corner of the end of the city overwhelmingly killed.

Although last night the Tubo Red Card Army spent too much time destroying trebuchets and missed the best fighters, but today it shows the seemingly stupid results of the Tubo Army last night, and it is not a simple matter to move and install a new trebuchet, at least it will take more than half a day, so at this time the head of Xicheng is empty, and the Tang Army has lost the trebuchet for long-distance strikes.

The Tubo army seized the gap of the Tang army, with 5,000 rafts as the vanguard, and the rafts were to cross the moat, but also to resist the Tang army's bed crossbows.

When the Tubo entered within 700 steps, the three hundred bed crossbows on the head of the city were fired at the same time, and the three hundred mother arrows and two thousand one thousand sub-arrows roared towards the Tubo army. Chemical element! Chemical element! Most of the sound was nailed to the raft.

This is the experience, after a bloody battle, both sides will find each other's weaknesses and take advantage of them, if there is no trebuchet boulder impact, the Tubo people will be much more calm against the Tang army's bed crossbow, the Tubo and the Tang army have been fighting for nearly a hundred years, they know how to deal with the bed crossbow.

Similarly, the Tang army also knew how to deal with the Tibetan ladder, their ladder is a combination of ladders, with a section of wooden ladders temporarily bundled and spliced, wrapped in cowhide, because the ladder needs to be seven zhang long, so the shape of the ladder is wide and narrow, thick and thin, which makes the number of people in the city of Tubo become pyramid-shaped, there are many people below, and the top can only be tied to two people at most, if the number is not much, the Tang army can take the team as a unit, fifty people to deal with a city ladder, in addition to bows and arrows and rolling wood stones, the Tang army used fire oil, This is a sharp weapon against the Tibetan army.

After a night of bloody fighting, the Tang army also learned the lesson of last night, last night the Tang army suffered too many casualties mainly by the arrows under the city, this time the Tang soldiers will no longer lean into the city to shoot like last night, they will use the shooting holes in the city wall and the shield cover of their comrades to shoot.

The Tang army's bed crossbow did not exert much power, and the first phalanx army of Tubo rushed to the city, 'Boom! A sound set up a raft, a ladder erected to the city wall, the city head suddenly ten thousand arrows fired, rolling wood and stones fell from the city, arrows such as dense rain, stones such as hail, the first to rush through the moat nearly a thousand Tubo soldiers were shot by arrows, hit by stones, broken bones and tendons, wailing, then the Tubo army also began to counterattack, they were in a group of two, one person raised a shield, one person shot, the arrows were overwhelmingly shot to the city, and the dense arrows up and down formed a network of arrows.

With dozens of city ladders successively set up the city wall, the Tubo soldiers swarmed up, the second batch of 15,000 Tubo troops who besieged the city were once again put into the battlefield, at this time the Tubo army had invested 30,000 people, and the Tang army only had 5,000 people, with a disparity ratio of one enemy and six and the Tubo army engaged in a bloody battle to the death.

More than a dozen city ladders were successively poured with fire oil, the fire was raging in a scream, and more than 100 Tubo soldiers on the city ladder were burned unbearably and jumped off the city ladder one after another.... Two Tang soldiers carried the crucible and poured the molten iron juice from the crucible on the city ladder to the group of Tibetan soldiers....... In several places where the Tubo army focused on attacking, there were fierce Tubo soldiers rushing to the city, and they were constantly killed by the tenacious and heroic Tang army, the two sides were flying flesh and blood, fighting for life and death, a Tang soldier was pierced through the chest by a long sword, he burst out of the last strength, and fell down the city wall with the Tubo soldiers...... A bloody and brutal battle of attack and defense is fought in the end of the city.

The Tibetan army is like a devil army from the region, taking the last city has become their last chance to survive, and the last 10,000 people have also thrown themselves into battle, they have exhausted all the methods they can think of regardless of death.

Under the drawbridge, dozens of Tibetans climbed onto the drawbridge by stepping on the corpses of their companions, and they struggled to cut down the iron wedges and logs that pulled the moat..... The fall of the moat made the battle situation take a sharp turn, and 3,000 Tubo soldiers dressed in raw cowhide held the fifteen-zhang long giant tree that crashed into the city, and under the dense protection of more than 1,000 shields, they rushed to the city gate again and again.

"Boom!"

The city gate was shaking, and the last city was trembling, the bricks and dirt were falling in a flutter, and the thousand-legged iron beetle took a hundred steps back again, and in a roar like a beast, the giant tree carried the strength of tens of millions of catties, and once again rushed frantically towards the end of the city gate.

There was another earth-shattering muffled sound, the city wall was shaking violently, the Tang soldiers on the city stood unsteadily, and they fell one after another, and the gate of the last city was already crumbling, and the fall of the end of the city was inevitable, and many Tang soldiers closed their eyes in despair.

At this moment, a low trumpet suddenly sounded from the distant field, like a storm in the field and thunder in the mountains.

"March! March to the end city! ”

Li Qing'an waved his sword, his king's horse galloped, his white mane flying, floating to his golden helmet, behind him, the banner was covered in the wind, thousands of troops and horses galloped in the field, 35,000 cavalry roared forward, the sand and gravel under the rolling horses' hooves flew, the dust covered the sky, obscuring the morning sun, and the murderous aura was like a storm in the wasteland, sweeping towards the Tubo army.

The darkness that shrouded and ended was driven away at this moment, and the Tibetan army was wailing, and extreme fear enveloped them, and they gave up the siege, dazed and at a loss.

"Assemble! Resist! ”

Shang Jiasu hissed and shouted, but the Tang army rushed into their camp, the war horses they left in the barracks became the trophies of the Tang army, the war knives waved a dazzling light, the spears were like forests, the ground echoed with the roar of the Tang army, and the iron horses rolled, covering the Tibetan soldiers who had not yet had time to assemble.

The trapped beasts are still fighting, although the Tubo army has no war horses, but they still resist desperately, they simply stand in a queue, some hold spears, some have shields and long swords, and some open bows and arrows, trying to resist desperately, but the black pressure of the Tang cavalry instantly rushed to the eyes, the storm momentum of the impact made them unable to open their eyes, and many people shouted in despair.

Thirty-five thousand cavalry rushed into the Tibetan army like a storm, rushed out of a bloody road, trampled everything in this bloody road, overwhelmed everything, invincible everything, the Tibetan soldiers rolled under the hooves of horses, cut their necks with horizontal knives, pierced their chests with spears, heads rolled to the ground, flesh and blood flew on all fours, blood mist filled the air, shouts of killing, screams resounded throughout the field.

The Tang army penetrated the large array of the Tibetan army like mercury, dividing and surrounding them one by one, although the Tibetan army resisted stubbornly, the combat effectiveness of the infantry and cavalry was too disparity, so that they were defeated and retreated, and suffered heavy casualties.

At the head of the city, He Lou Yurun finally found Li Qing'an's Wang Qi, where the Wang Qi passed, invincible, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, turned around and shouted: "Sons, follow me out of the city to fight!" ”

And the gate of the end of the city was wide open, thousands of Tang cavalry rushed out of the city, they were like a sharp dagger, straight into the back of Shang Jiasu's personal army, and in an instant they opened a bloody road, He Lou Yurun's big knife flew over, and the Tubo army was killed and wounded under his knife, at this time they were less than twenty steps away from Shang Jiasu, He Lou Yurun roared, "The one who takes the head of Chief Hu will be promoted to three levels, and the reward will be five thousand!" ”

Inspired by the heavy reward, the soldiers of the Tang Army became like wolves and tigers, and everyone rushed to kill the main general of Tubo dozens of steps away, killing the Tubo soldiers and retreating one after another, and the corpses were everywhere, and they were less than ten steps away from Shang Jiasu.

At this time, a Tang military captain opened a bow and arrows, Pegasus shot obliquely, Shang Jiasu couldn't dodge, was shot in the left chest by an arrow, turned over and fell off the horse, was rescued by his own soldiers, Shang Jiasu's hundreds of personal soldiers saw that the Tang army was fierce, difficult to resist, and the commander injured the chest, in desperation, had to hug their commander to run west, as Shang Jiasu took the lead in escaping, the handsome flag was cut down by the Tang army, tens of thousands of Tibetan troops finally collapsed in despair and fear, they rushed to flee, lost their armor, scattered and fled in the wilderness, But they could not outrun the iron cavalry of the Tang army, and they fell to the ground one after another, and angry horses' hooves galloped past them.

The dust cleared in the air, and the dawn of victory once again shrouded the blood-soaked city of the end.

Meng Xia waited late, and Hu Guo had long grass and trees.

The horse galloped past the birds, and the sky was poorer than the sunset.

All the new divisions were protected, and military uniforms were issued in May.

There are two million soldiers, and the golden light is scattered.

Raise the flag to blow Kunlun, cut drums and vibrate Puchang.

Taibai led the officers and troops, and the sky was in the wilderness.
