Chapter 133: Flesh Mill (4)

Within the trench, there were nearly 10,000 Zhangxiong people alive. There are still more than 20,000 tribal soldiers and Luo people who participated in the attack, and there are 5,000 Luo elite soldiers on standby under the banner of King Zhudan.

After more than an hour of fighting, tens of thousands of Qiang people on both sides have died on this broken meadow.

The desperate resistance of the Xiangxiong people gradually broke the confidence of the attackers, and the morale of the tribal soldiers and the soldiers of the Luo became more depressed, and the speed of advance became slower and slower.

The ruler belt Zhudan was obviously extremely dissatisfied with this situation, and the horn of the Chinese military department urging the army sounded one after another. However, it was useless, and even the strongest Qiang warriors quickly consumed too much strength to continue fighting at such a high place, while the Elephant Male held on to each other in sections without reinforcements, and every time they rushed up was a new force, but slowly gained an advantage in strength.

As the city got closer, the army advanced more slowly, as if it were stuck in the mud. Outside the trench, Zhu Dan finally got impatient to wait, and the last 5,000 troops also entered the battlefield and marched into the trench area. Surrounded by more than 100 armor guards, he strode towards the surrendered city.

Ma Lan stood on top of the city, and his eyes suddenly became extremely shining. Flags were waved at the head of the city, and orders were passed on.

He didn't want Han Jiaerlang to suffer losses, and the Anxi army never made a move, but since the ruler belt Zhudan himself also came up, then it was time for Han Wu Li An's 2,000 cavalry to go out. Since the ruler belt Zhudan dares to come up, then don't think about getting out alive.

More than ten miles behind the surrendered city, it is the hiding place of the old and weak women and children of the Xiangxiong people, and the two thousand Mo sword cavalry of Han Wu Li An have long been stationed here. There is no city that must be defended, this is the simplest truth, the defender of the city must have a mobile force outside the city, this is the most basic requirement for defending the city.

The Tang Army scouts on the high places along the way kept waving flags, and soon Han Wu Li An received orders. They had waited too long for this moment, and the two thousand iron horsemen left the valley and slowly came in the direction of the surrendered city.

……

The 5,000 fresh troops of the ruler belt Zhudan were put into the battlefield and rushed directly to the front, immediately changing the situation between the trenches, the fighting inside and outside the trenches became more bloody, and the Xiangxiong people were still desperately resisting, but the speed of casualties was getting faster and faster, more trenches changed hands quickly, and the army of Luo was approaching faster under the surrendered city.

For the ruler belt Zhudan, it is necessary to win this battle before the morale of the army collapses, capture the Tang general, and then kill him in public in order to dispel the despicable rumors of the reincarnation of the Dharma Protector God of War. If you can't do that, then it's all over.

However, in Ma Lan's view, since he led people into this trench, the Xibuye clan has been finished, and the Tubo Empire has ceased to exist.

The surrendered city was on a high place, and the root of the city wall was also a cut higher than the area of the moat, which was visible to Yima, but not at all.

He couldn't see that on the large wide meadow specially set aside under the surrendered city, nearly Vienzio Xiong's elite cavalry was holding spears, and they couldn't hold it back. He also couldn't see that the Elephant King Li Gongpo was looking coldly at the battlefield below, his body standing as tall as a mountain.

With the last trench occupied by the tribal soldiers, the old and weak of Zhangxiong finally drained their blood, and the majestic city was close at hand. Inside and outside the trench, the tribal soldiers and some warriors cheered in unison, and suddenly their morale was greatly boosted!

After paying huge casualties, they finally accomplished their intended goal and killed all the elephant males hiding in the trench like rats. Now, as long as they rush into the city gates, the weak Tang people are meat on the chopping block.

The soldiers and clansmen did not know that this distance was already within the range of the Tang army's crossbow arrows.

In front of them was a gentle slope, and high above the gentle slope was a huge city of strange shapes.

The tribal soldiers crawled out of the trench like ants, and quickly formed a phalanx in front of the trench, and some of the soldiers also formed a phalanx, brandishing spears, heavy swords, and shields and shouting loudly.

They had forgotten their previous depression and were only thinking about rushing into the city and plundering it.

The ruler belt Zhudan was tightly guarded by more than a hundred armor warriors, roaring and issuing orders, the sound of dense horns sounded again, the heavy swords of the people slapped the big shield, and the tribal soldiers roared in unison, approaching the surrendered city along the gentle slope.

On the flat ground behind the gentle slope, the horses of the elephant and the male snorted uneasily. In addition to the surrendered party soldiers and the elite soldiers of the Subi tribe, the remaining Tubo army still has nearly 20,000 people, and it is still a black and oppressive piece from the top of the city.

Ma Lan's eyes were fixed on the ruler belt bead pill, and at such a close distance, he could already see every beard on the ruler belt bead pill's face.

The ruler beaded on the edge of the trench, urging the army to keep advancing, but he did not move a single step. Ma Xuan understood that this guy would not get close to the surrendered city again, and quickly waved his hand. Flags waved above the city, and the eight-ox crossbows placed at the corners of the city walls and in the fortress were ready to be fired.

The gentle slope was not very long, and the Tibetan army soon poured up. The Tubo people at the forefront were startled when they saw the Zhangxiong cavalry with dense roots on the city wall, and they all stopped in place for a while.

I originally thought that the Xiangxiong people had been killed by them, but at this moment, they encountered so many Xiangxiong cavalry!

A cloud of smoke and dust rose in the distance outside the trench, and a wave of cavalry quickly killed from behind the surrendered city, and the bright light armor on his body was dazzling, it was the Tang Iron Cavalry.

Seeing that Han Wu and Li An were already in place, Ma Lan waved his hand, Tian Mingyuan ordered the flag to wave quickly, and Anxi athletes from all over the city wall appeared, accompanied by the sound of the machine wrenching, steel crossbow arrows poured out like rain.

This is on the city wall, so there is no need to use the three-stage shooting method, the riding crossbow, the Yuan Rong crossbow and the eight bull crossbow are fired at the same time, and the dense arrow rain falls into the phalanx of the Luo people and tribal soldiers like hail, and the miserable howls continue to sound, and the phalanx of the Tubo army becomes sparse in an instant.

The power of the Eight Bull Crossbow is the most terrifying, and a string of warriors are often nailed to the arrows where the giant arrows fall, and the steel arrows of the crossbow and the Yuan Rong crossbow are condescending, even if they are woven with iron sheets, they can't resist it.

At the head of the city, the Tang army fired a volley, and thousands of Tubo soldiers fell.

There were more than a dozen eight-bull crossbows aimed at the position of the ruler bead pill, and thirty or forty huge arrows fell into the crowd like a storm, and most of the more than 100 Zha armor soldiers fell in an instant.

Surrounded by the warriors, he narrowly escaped, but was crushed to the ground by the soldiers who had died in battle. The surviving soldiers hurriedly pulled him up and hurriedly retreated towards the trench.

The ruler with Zhu Dan was so frightened that he jumped off the trench with a roll. He never imagined that the Tang Army still carried such a thing.

Didn't they come over the snowy mountains? How did you bring that heavy crossbow?

There are more than 2,000 riding crossbows, 600 Yuanrong crossbows, and a large number of eight-bull crossbows, and the power of a salvo is so powerful. Such a terrifying rain of arrows frightened the Tibetan warriors.

The Zhangxiong cavalry suddenly shouted in unison, to the effect that the ancestor of the Dharma Protector God of War was angry, and all the people were going to die.

Needless to say, it was Li Gongbu's idea again. This guy's use of opportunities is simply perfect.

Hearing the chanting of the Zhangxiong people, the morale of the Tibetan army was even more depressed. Thinking that the enemy was facing the Protector God of War Ancestor under the command of Xinrao Miwo, many tribal warriors lost their courage in an instant.

Hiding in the trench, he shouted loudly, "Raise your shield!" Raise your shield! The remaining soldiers around him also shouted in unison. The warrior who reacted hurriedly raised his shield above his head, and at this moment, the sky above his head suddenly darkened, and the second wave of crossbow rain from the Anxi army had poured down.

The great shield of the Tubo people had been quite effective in fighting the Tang army in the past, but this time it was of no use at all. The perverted existence of the Eight Bull Crossbow is naturally impossible for any shield to resist, and the riding crossbow and the Yuan Rong crossbow use pure steel cast crossbow arrows, and the penetration ability is also extremely amazing. At such a close distance, it was condescending, and the steel arrow easily shattered the shield, and then pierced through the leather armor and armor of the Tibetan soldiers.

After another volley, more Tibetans fell, and there were less than 10,000 Tibetans still standing.

Beside Zhu Dan, several trumpeters desperately blew their horns, urging the soldiers to march forward, but Zhu Dan had already fled back along the trench with a few of his own soldiers.

There is no suspense in such a battle. At this time, he already regretted it very much, why did he send troops to this place.

When a son dies, he may not be able to be reborn. If he himself confessed here, the Sibuno clan would really be finished.

……

With the hard crossbow of the Tang army on the top of his head and the iron cavalry of the Zhangxiong people in front, the tribal soldiers did not know what to do, but the Luo soldiers mustered up the courage and roared towards the Xiangxiong people.

They are the most loyal warriors to the Zampu family, although they don't want to fight against the ancestor of the Dharma Protector God of War, but listening to the sound of the horn from behind, they have to fight.

A third wave of arrows poured down, concentrating on the Logos who were rushing towards the Zhangxiong cavalry. The moment the crossbow rain fell, the charging Luo people suddenly became sparse, and the elephant male cavalry urged the war horses to roar to meet them, and they were instantly entangled with the Luo people.

Although there were only two hundred paces between each other, which was less than the maximum distance of the cavalry charge, in the face of the tired infantry, the cavalry's impact advantage could still be brought into play to a certain extent. The soldiers scattered on three sides of the city had no power to fight back under the impact of the Zhangxiong cavalry, and the arrogant Zhangxiong cavalry waved their spears on their horses, stabbing the elite soldiers to the ground.

The tribal soldiers were also scattered on three sides of the city, and their number was less than 3,000. Several of the warriors of the Bailan tribe suddenly put down their weapons and knelt on the ground begging for forgiveness from the Protector of the God of War Patriarch. Immediately after that, the Qiang people fell to their knees, and at this time their confidence finally collapsed completely.

Within a few minutes, the tribal warriors were all kneeling up and down the gentle slope. The Luo warriors fought desperately with the Zhangxiong cavalry, and were soon killed by the Zhangxiong cavalry.

The Zhangxiong people lived in the highest part of the Qiangtang, which was their home field, and tens of thousands of cavalry waited for work, and it was naturally easy to win against a few thousand tired infantry.

For the first time in more than a hundred years, the elephants and men waved their blood-stained spears and shouted loudly on their horses, succumbing to the might of the Raks. (To be continued.) )
