When Lanzhou Jie'er had just led the reinforcements over, it had reached the most critical time here. The Tibetan reinforcements, who were full of physical strength, just caught the strength that had already consumed most of their strength*. After holding the thistle terrestris bone duo, Qi Bi Tie Li sent two Tibetan generals one after another, and finally lost his strength, and after blocking a thick-backed big knife that was cut in front of him, the spear stabbed in the side was powerless, and he was so anxious that Qi Bi Tie Li shouted:

"Help me!"

A lance sticks out from its back, picks up the spear that comes out, and pokes the machete in his back. After praying for iron to dispel the threat on the other side, he gasped and said:

"Who is the strong man?"

"The team is in full swing."

Prayer Rail:

"Strongman, take my place as the arrow, and let Ben rest for a while."

After that, the two swapped places. Qi Bi Tieli turned behind Zhang Qi as a flanker. The Tibetan army is menacing, but fortunately, there are more and more soldiers who have landed in the city, and they have not been oppressed by the Tibetan soldiers to retreat much, and the archers of the * have begun to consciously shoot arrows at the places where there are many Tibetan soldiers.

However, the Tubo soldiers have a large number of people, and they have gradually compressed * inward. Just as the hope in the hearts of the Tibetan soldiers gradually increased, the earth-shattering cheers suddenly erupted outside the city.

Smoke rose from the city.

The Tibetan soldiers suddenly panicked, listening to the noisy sounds in the city, and looking at the thick smoke rushing into the sky, a fool would know what was happening.

Everyone remembered that there were Han Chinese slaves in the city who far outnumbered the defenders.

"Aren't they all locked in the compound? What about the guards of them? ”

A panicked voice came out, but no one knew how to answer the question at this time. Some people regret not putting them all to death sooner, but this is also a useless complaint. Anyone with a little brain knows that Lanzhou can't hold it.

There was more than one place in the smoke in Lanzhou City, and the sound of crying seemed to be everywhere. The Tibetan soldiers all felt their faces tighten, and a chill abruptly appeared.

"Such thick smoke, I'm afraid you can see it across the Yellow River, right?"

If that's the case, then I'm afraid that the reinforcements won't come back. Thinking like this, Lanzhou Jiedu's face turned a little pale. He tried his best to stabilize his emotions and shouted hoarsely:

"Songyuan camp, enter the city to stabilize order, and kill all Han slaves. General Nonjin, take your people to Ximen for reinforcements as soon as possible. ”

But it was too late,* and the attack on Simon intensified almost instantly, and the siege soldiers, who had stopped at the slightest setback, suddenly became not afraid of death, and there were no rushing carts, no eight-oxen crossbows, only a few small bed crossbows, and two catapults. At first, it was also by throwing straw bales into the moat by cavalry, so that a place where people could pass through. However, as soon as the defenders of the West Gate withdrew, the attack on this side suddenly increased, and the archers even advanced near the moat and fired upwards at the city, covering the infantry to fill the moat.

Most of the infantry who filled the river were criminals from the service battalion and soldiers who had violated military law. Therefore, he was very hardworking, and he was not afraid of the rain of arrows and the short spears thrown from the city. Fortunately, in winter, the water dried up, the archers covered well, and the convict battalion only paid dozens of lives, and filled out a strip of land dozens of paces wide for the siege. However, when they returned to the camp, almost everyone in the camp was wounded.

Now that the road has been paved, what else is the infantry polite? Immediately pushed more than a dozen siege vehicles to rush to the city to attack the city. Originally, Tubo Lanzhou Jie'er was careful enough, leaving a lot of people to guard the west gate, and the normal attack and defense had to hold each other for a while, but I didn't expect that a thirty-person army suddenly came to the city, falsely claiming that Jie'er ordered to guard the city gate, and asked questions and answers to know the situation in the city well, and couldn't find fault with a plateau cavity, and when the soldiers let them get closer, they suddenly pulled out their knives one by one and slashed, and the first knife broke the life of the city gate guard, and when the others reacted, these twenty people had rushed to the city gate, Leaving ten people to guard the gate, the rest of the people went straight to open the city gate, rushed to the urn city, and had a bloody battle with the twenty soldiers guarding the urn city gate, intending to kill the urn city gate, planning to open the city gate, go out of the city, cut down the drawbridge, and let * into the city.

"These spies have a big appetite, and they want both gates."

The guard gritted his teeth. Hurriedly ordered to kill all these spies. The Tubo army that came back to their senses wanted to go all out to eliminate this gang of spies and recapture the city gate, but there was a shout of killing behind them, and when they looked back, it was the slaves in the city who rebelled, holding weapons in their hands and red eyes, and cutting when they saw the Tubo people, and the guards on the city saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly sent people from the city to intercept them, as a result, the soldiers in the city were not enough. The heavily armoured* siege infantry easily climbed to the top of the city. The first * Marquis Yu was dressed in heavy armor, holding a long-handled battle axe, the spear could not pierce, the knife could not move, and after entering the city, he swept out a large open space.

The follow-up soldiers planted the scarlet battle flag on the west gate of Lanzhou.

Seeing that the infantry had already ascended the tower, the heavily armored cavalry was anxiously waiting for the time to use their weapons. When a crisp sound sounded in the air, the command finally brought the order for the cavalry to attack, and the suffocated cavalry finally destroyed the war horses to the moat, as if there was a tacit understanding, just when the cavalry reached the moat, the gate of the urn city creaked open.

A bloodied man who appeared to be dressed in a Tibetan military uniform staggered and pressed the city gate aside with his body.

Behind him, two Tibetan soldiers, also covered in blood, were running towards the city gate viciously, trying to close the gate before * arrived, but * did not give them this chance.

As soon as a Tibetan soldier touched the city gate, he was nailed to the wall of the city gate with a long lance. The other was chopped into meat sauce by the * infantry who stormed into the city gate.

It was the cavalry captain who threw the lance, but the first to rush into the city gate was the nearest infantry, and the infantry who rushed into the urn city completely blocked the road of the cavalry charge, so angry that the cavalry captain shouted and ordered the infantry to get out of the way, but where was the infantry who had entered a state of bloody battle willing to let go? And where can I make it? The cavalry, who had been aggrieved for a long time, had to wait for the infantry to completely control the situation, and then entered Lanzhou City amid the laughter of the infantry.

At this time, the west gate of Lanzhou had completely fallen into the control of *, and all the Tubo soldiers guarding the west gate were killed, and none of them surrendered. In line with the tactical spirit of encircling three and missing one, * left the north gate of Lanzhou during the siege, and thousands of remnants of Tibetan soldiers, women and children did not care whether the road ahead was a trap or a life gate, opened the north gate and fled, and were wiped out on the bank of the Yellow River by the * cavalry who were holding their stomachs.

The Tubo soldiers guarding the south gate and the east gate tried to break through from the east gate under the leadership of the Lanzhou Jiedu envoy and fought their way out of the dead end, but they were firmly blocked by Du Kang's 70th Army under the city, attacked up and down, and wiped out cleanly.

After such a big battle, there was not a single Tubo soldier who surrendered to *, and only some seriously injured soldiers were caught, and only Lanzhou Jiedu made it better, but only injured two arms. Hao Xuan was very puzzled by such a result, and asked his staff:

"The Tubo people are brave, but they don't even want to surrender, it's too much, right?"

As a result, the staff couldn't help but laugh. In the end, Du Dang, who still got a big bargain, explained the reason:

"It's not that the Tubo people are not afraid of death, but the marshal is famous, and the Tubo soldiers know that life is better than death in the hands of the marshal."

didn't expect such a result, Hao Jue couldn't help but laugh himself.

After the battle, the damage was counted, relying on the uprising of the slaves in the city, * there was not much loss in attacking such a fortified city, only less than a thousand people were killed in the battle, and most of them were injured by the death of the Tibetan soldiers. Hao Xuan was also very happy with such a result, and after pacifying the dead and wounded soldiers according to the regulations issued by the Ministry of War, Hao Xuan met with the representatives of the righteous army in the city. To Hao Jue's surprise, the ragged slave saluted when he saw Hao Jue:

"Xiaguan Meng Yao see the deputy marshal."

Hao Wei has been in a high position for many years, and he also has some official authority, so he immediately put on a straight face and said:

"Meng Yishi, you and the righteous people of Lanzhou have made great contributions this time, and the marshal is very grateful, and he will naturally report to the court and award the righteous and meritorious officials with official rewards, but the righteous man now calls himself a subordinate official, which is inevitably a bit overstepping, right?"

As a result, Meng Yao said:

"Deputy Marshal Qiqi, it's not that the lower official is seeking an official for himself, but that the lower official is indeed a Tang official. Xiaguan was originally a subordinate of the Grain Statistics Department and joined the army, but he was sent to Lanzhou five years ago, and he was only ordered to launch it after lurking until now. ”

Hao Jue was really surprised, got up and asked:

"Could it be that the Lanzhou intelligence before the war was sent by the righteous soldiers?"

Meng Yao smiled:

"What is within the division, why should the deputy marshal worry about it."

Hao Yu saw that this person was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was very interested in loving talents, so he asked:

"I don't know how Meng joined the army and could lurk here for five years."

Meng Yao sighed:

"Does the deputy marshal know that most of the men and women here are Han'er? They have endured humiliation and dirt here for decades, isn't it just that one day they will see the Tang Dynasty again and save them from fire and water? After being with them for a long time, naturally I can endure anything. ”

At the end of the matter, it was Hao Jue who personally served the wine and said to Meng Yao:

"Meng joins the army, you are a real righteous man."
