At the beginning of the establishment of the surrendered city, it was prepared to withstand extremely serious attacks, so the standard of construction was extremely high, and the city wall several zhang high was also at the level of a big city in the Central Plains, and the zigzag city wall design was based on the construction experience of the European fortress in later generations, and this city was ready to withstand the bombardment of artillery fire.

As long as this big city is in the hands of the Han people, no matter what accidents happen in the future, even if the Tang Empire falls, the connection between the Han people in the west and the river will not be cut off. For Ma Lan, the importance of the city cannot be overstated.

Not far from the city wall, there are rooms for placing cannons, and naturally there are no cannons at this time, but there are eight bull crossbows. Even in bad weather, the eight-bull crossbow placed in the room can be used. And now, when Ma Lan led the people to the city, each eight-ox crossbow had completed the process of winding.

The whole surrendered city was built on a high ground, beyond the walls was a large flat area suitable for cavalry gathering, and the high ground was connected to a wide slope below, and a road led straight down, which was the main road in and out of the surrendered city. And now, on the withered yellow grass outside the city, a group of men and horses are slowly approaching the surrendered city along the road. At the front was the square-looking Qiang man, and the knights behind him were making a loud noise.

After the leader of the Kalun tribe, Kalang, left the General's Mansion, because he couldn't bear the breath of the guards being killed, he actually led his subordinates to attack the city!

Ma Lan looked at Kalang from afar, and really didn't know what to say. More than 10,000 people. It's nothing in the kingdom of Zhangzhung. With a few thousand cavalry, he wanted to attack the surrendered city. I don't know what this guy thinks.

Now in the surrendered city, there are as many as 5,000 Anxi soldiers after a hundred battles, which is already more than the number of people and horses in Kalang. Although there are not many Yuanrong crossbows equipped, there is no shortage of standard crossbows and arrows such as Fuyuan crossbows and Zhangzhang crossbows, and riding crossbows is even more handy. Other things such as fire and thunder, short spears and other things are the same as the Anxi New Army, and the difference between them and the Anxi New Army is the lack of Yuan Rong crossbows.

The defenders here are mainly veterans. It is the foundation left after the Battle of Talas, and he has extremely rich combat experience. Now there are all kinds of new types of ordnance, and the combat power has been greatly improved. On the other hand, the thousands of Qiang people outside the city, only one hundred and ten people are equipped with armor, and the remaining few have shabby leather armor, most of them are wearing leather jackets, compared with the Anxi army with bright armor, it is simply a group of people called Huazi.

How can such an army on the side compete with 5,000 Anxi soldiers? Not to mention taking the initiative to besiege the city defended by the Anxi army, which is simply to be funny.

Thousands of people shouted. It looked quite arrogant, and Kalang looked at the Anxi army at the head of the city. Extremely excited.

Rush into the city later, the princess is not mine yet? When the time comes, even the throne will be snatched together, and as for the little prince, he is just a mongrel, and he is not qualified to be the king of the elephant male.

As for the Tang Dynasty general, the ancestor of the God of War under Xinrao Miwo...... He didn't believe such nonsense, it was just a rumor. His strength is good, much stronger than himself, but there are many of his own people! These thousands of soldiers and horses rushed into the city, and they could always kill him when they rushed up.

There are also a lot of people and horses brought by the Xiangxiongtou people nearby, more than thousands of people and less hundreds of people, all of whom come here to watch the ceremony. At this time, many people were watching the excitement, and some people were dressed up and ready for battle.

However, they naturally did not want to follow the Kalun tribe to attack the city, but were ready to take the opportunity to annex the Kalun tribe after the Kalun tribe was deflated. The thousands of Kalun tribes left behind are old and weak, in their eyes it is wealth, Zhangxiong has had a better life in the past few years, these people can still afford to raise them, and if they annex these people, the strength of the tribe will be able to reach a higher level.

Now they don't want to provoke the Kalun tribe, after all, there are many Kalang people. There are many people in Kalang because he has brought the whole clan here, and he is not really stronger than the others, but in this place at the moment, he can indeed be regarded as a strong soldier.

"Ma Lan! If you dare to kill my guards, you will get out of here and die! ”

"Ma Lan! Come out! ”

Thousands of cavalry lined up in a long line, slowly moving forward along the passage in the middle of the abandoned trenches, and Kalun pointed his mace at the top of the city, looking arrogant and scolding. On the side of the Anxi army, the city gate has actually been slowly opened, but the Kalun tribe is still under the high slope and has not seen it.

"What is the God of War Ancestor under the command of Xinrao Miwo, I don't believe it! There are so many of me today, I can kill you! Ma Lu! Don't shrink back in the city, come out and die! ”

Galang led the men and horses to advance slowly, but since he had not yet reached the slope, he did not see that thousands of cavalry had galloped out on the flat ground on the slope, and the formation was completed on the flat ground.

Qinghai Cheng snorted happily, Ma Lan held the Mo knife in his hand and let out a long breath.

Since the Mobei class started, it has been several months since he went into battle.

This time, before the southern expedition to Tianzhu, someone sent an opportunity to stand up, and naturally he couldn't let it go.

"No one of the Kalons will be left behind, men, women, young or old! In addition, tell the leaders not to think about annexing the old and weak of the Kalun tribe, and wait until we have defeated the enemy in front of us, and then go and cut down all the old and weak people in the back! For every head chopped off, you can get two pieces of money! - These rebellions are only worth the price! ”

It's not because of Kalang's scolding, at his level, this kind of verbal dispute is not only to make him angry, but since it is Liwei, it must be done thoroughly. Through the destruction of the Kalun tribe, these leaders will understand what it will be like to offend the Tang Dynasty.

A moment later, flags were unfurled over the city, and soon scouts galloped to the positions of the elephant chiefs from elsewhere to relay the orders of the horses.

Since there is such an order, then it means that it is impossible to annex women and children, but there is no pity, a person has two dollars for the first half of the money - even if the women and children of the Kalun tribe are sold, one is not worth this price, not to mention that this is given for free, it is as easy as finding a bag and taking things. At that moment, people were ready to pass on the order to kill.

On the Kalang side, not everyone wants to attack the city, and many leaders feel unreliable, but those who dare to speak up have already been killed by Kalang, and the rest of the people dare not say it again. The warriors don't care, conquest is a common thing, and the dispute over the pasture between the tribes of the same Elephant Male has not been broken, and for them, it is natural that the leader will do whatever he wants. As for death...... In fact, life is hard enough, and since life is hard, death is not so terrible.

More than 5,000 men, this is the limit of what the tribe can move, and there are not many people in the city, which makes them breathe a sigh of relief. When they reached the slope, the road became much wider, and the thousands of horses began to disperse in both directions, and at last there was no longer a long queue.

As for how to attack the city, they didn't have any other ideas, just thinking about approaching the city as soon as possible. They are not prepared for the experience of attacking fortifications, and the only confidence is what the leader Galang said, there are many of us! However, they actually did not have the slightest numerical advantage at all, and the number of Tang troops in the surrendered city was not clear to Kalang.

"Ma Lan! Come out! Kalang shouted loudly, and immediately urged the war horse to rush to the top of the slope, his riding skills were excellent, and while going uphill, he looked up at the top of the city wall, and saw several Tang people who looked like leaders, and even two women, but Ma Lan was not among them.

The soldiers at the head of the city looked down indifferently, the bows and arrows were placed beside them but they did not pick them up, and Galang had already bent the bow and arrows in his hands, ready to shoot at the city after rushing to the platform. The war horse rushed to the flat ground below the city, and the shining light of armor instantly entered Kalang's eyes.

"Ma Lan! How dare you come out! Kalang shouted loudly, and the bow and arrow he was holding high quickly fell, and with a whoosh arrow it was shot at the person in front, and the reaction was quite slow.

Ma Lan shook the Mo knife in his hand slightly, swung the arrow away at will, looked at Kalang and smiled disdainfully: "Jumping beam clown!" ”

As he spoke, there was a muffled sound of collapse on the head of the city, swirling green smoke fell from the clear sky, the Eight Bull Crossbow began to exert its might, and dozens of heavenly thunder arrows roared out from the mouth of the shot, landing in the crowd that had just rushed up the slope.

The only drawback of the Sky Thunder Arrow is that it cannot shoot three arrows in one bow, and can only shoot one giant arrow at a time for safety reasons, but as long as there are enough of them, the momentum is also extremely amazing.

The location of the main gate is the most heavily defended area of the Surrendered City, and although it is an old-fashioned eight-bull crossbow, it can easily shoot near the slope. The deafening loud bang broke out in an instant, the terrifying energy raged among the crowd, the smoke and dust flew everywhere, the knights who had just rushed to the top of the slope were immediately stunned, I don't know how many people died in the explosion, the war horse neighed miserably loudly, and the knight began to run around.

Such a blow is not something that the knights of the Kalun tribe can withstand, and the leather armor is like paper paste under the shock wave of the heavenly thunder arrows. The deafening sound shook the heart like thunder. The people who didn't die were also shocked at this time, and many people suddenly remembered that the opposite side was the Protector of War Ancestor under the command of Xinrao Miwo, who could summon the terrifying existence of God and Thunder.

The Heavenly Thunder Arrow did not land near Galang, so he was only slightly injured, but the war horse immediately lost control. While desperately reining in the war horse, Galang suddenly remembered this legend. Could it be that what the old king said was true?

There were war horses scurrying everywhere, and Kalang was afraid that he would fall off his horse, and there were many people who fell off his horse, and they were all trampled by the war horses and screamed, and obviously they couldn't survive. Kalang was shocked, and suddenly understood why the old king was so respectful to the Tang people.

However, Ma Lan's side will not give him a chance to think.

The moment the explosion stopped, Ma Ling and the old soldiers of Anxi had already rushed up, and at the same time as the charge, the soldiers had already pulled the crossbow or the Yuanrong crossbow, and the dense rain of arrows poured towards the middle of the smoke and dust.

After shooting the crossbow arrows, the hard crossbows were put away, and some of the knights were holding Mo knives like horses, but more of them were holding spears and rushed towards the smoke and dust. (To be continued......)
