Chapter 232: The battle breaks out again
Of course, we'll have to talk about it today. There was only one person www.biquge.info Bai Tan in the pen "Fun" Pavilion, and the passage she dug out was a little crowded side by side. But in Boxian Town, there are seven or eight thousand when you add everyone together. This is still the recent battle losses, otherwise this town is nearly 10,000 people.
So...... Let the women and children go first, then the rest, and finally the soldiers. And there are some things to take away, such as books, gold and silver, letters, etc., there are still some books, and a few copies for one person are enough.
But it was also at this time that the Tibetan soldiers suddenly assembled again. Yan Hanshui looked at the army under the city, this time there didn't seem to be many slaves, most of them were infantry with Tibetan swords and leather shields. But most of the infantry also have iron armor.
Li Wei had a calm face on the side: "They are coming to attack, we have to be ready." ”
Almost all the soldiers were mobilized, and those ordinary people entered the tunnel as fast as they could. Money must also be taken, after all, after arriving at Tianshuigou, you can also quietly go out to find a deal with the people. So the overall progress was very slow, and Yan Hanshui also saw Wu Yao and his sister Wu Yun, two people carrying books and working hard to move them into the tunnel.
Yan Hanshui walked over and saw Du Zhong who wanted to maintain order on the side. "Go out in a moment and get them a carriage. Books are always the most important, and they can allow us to continue the culture and heritage of Datang here. "People in this era may not understand the words of smoke and cold water, but Du Zhong naturally understands.
Ma Lin also walked over: "Captain Yan Hanshui, in the current situation, half of the sandbar has been occupied by Tubo. With a handful of reinforcements from both Anzay and North Courtyard, this seems like the best opportunity to travel to both locations. ”
"How many troops are there in Anxi and Beiting?" Yan Hanshui asked.
Ma Lin shook his head: "The swallow can't be detected clearly for the time being, but ...... It should be around five thousand to eight thousand. They are evacuating the population of the sandbank-controlled area. But in the main city of Shazhou (Jiuquan), it was besieged by nearly 100,000 Tibetans. Shazhou assassinated Shi Zhou Ding, and was killed due to disagreement and infighting with the Yan Dynasty with soldiers and horses. ”
"If you disagree, you will have infighting?" Yan Hanshui was stunned for a moment.
Ma Lin also nodded helplessly: "It is estimated that there are contradictions on weekdays." Zhou Ding hoped to lead his troops to break through and retain his vitality, while Yan Chao thought that he would hold on and wait for help. "The decision of these two men was not wrong, and in history, Shazhou finally surrendered to Tibet after holding out for ten years. Of course, if you get out of the city, you may die sooner, and God knows what will happen.
But the original infighting caused the last army of Shazhou to lose their vitality, and now they can't defend if they don't want to. Ma Lin looked pity, if the people in the main city of Shazhou could come out, maybe more people would be able to move to Anxi. Of course...... Their current influence is not bad if they can convince Li Wei of hundreds of people. For a sandbar assassin who is in charge of tens of thousands of people, I'm afraid people won't even meet each other.
Yan Hanshui can only say that he knows about this matter, after all, it is not up to them to say whether they can exit alive or not. The Tibetans went directly to the infantry, and a group of people rushed up with ladders shouting unknown slogans. When Datang saw the enemy gathering, he naturally made preparations for a long time.
Basically, there was a possibility of retreat, so the soldiers did it more thoroughly. They just demolished all the houses with stones and large clods of earth, and carried those things up and threw them down. Zhang Yan, who was in the Tubo camp, snorted uncontrollably: "It seems that he is desperate, and he has actually started to demolish the house." Simply, I'll solve it for you all at once. ”
"Everyone prepare, after the city wall falls, they will attack, not a single Tang man will be left, and the women and children will be left behind and distributed to you as slaves." As soon as Zhang Yan's words were finished, the entire army was cheering. Then she stomped her foot slightly, turned directly into a mouse that could only be two or three meters long, and burrowed into the ground.
Yan Hanshui was under the city wall, and followed Bai Tan to carry a piece of wood to the city wall. Bai Tan is in good shape now, it seems that the more he uses the spell, the more proficient he becomes, and now he obviously still has a lot of strength. The two girls carried things to the city wall, which can be regarded as doing their best to help defend the city.
Just as the two of them were carrying things to the city wall, they suddenly felt a low vibration of the city wall. Bai Tan almost fell down when she didn't stand firmly, but Yan Hanshui directly grabbed her. Just when Bai Tan was about to thank him, Yan Hanshui showed a solemn expression. "Zhang Yan, that rat is here!" Yan Hanshui immediately shouted.
This life frightened the soldiers around him, and he was already struggling to resist the siege below. Now there's another thing that won't be easy to deal with, especially since I don't know where the mouse is. Yan Hanshui felt it with his own strength, and found that a demonic qi was constantly shuttling under the ground, but it had no intention of coming up.
"What is she doing, waiting for an opportunity?" Yan Hanshui thought about it for a while, and then reacted: "Everyone leave the city wall, that woman wants to destroy this section of the city wall, from the ground!" "Yan Hanshui is here, and because of the effect of this time, it is also known to most soldiers. But it was impossible to get those soldiers to listen to Yan Hanshui's words.
Of course, there are people who can listen. That was Fan Wenwu, who was rushing over not far away, and he didn't hesitate at all when he heard Yan Hanshui's words, and shouted to the soldiers: "Give up the city wall immediately." "The soldiers, even if they didn't want to, began to retreat little by little. After all, the soldiers of Tibet are sticking to them, and they will not retreat so quickly when they yearn for the back.
At this moment, a sudden booming sound came. Under the originally strong city wall, cracks began to open without breaking. At this moment, the Tang Dynasty soldier believed it and ran down desperately. The cracks in the walls grew bigger and bigger, and then suddenly under the walls, a huge deep crater appeared.
The walls of the original soil directly collapsed, and huge smoke and dust splashed dozens of meters high. It can be nearly ten meters wide, and it completely falls into a huge pit below. Many Tang Dynasty soldiers who didn't have time to run out, as well as a group of Tibetan soldiers who attacked the city wall, were buried inside. Those ordinary Tibetan soldiers, whether they were Zhang Yan or the generals behind them, would not care about their lives. Anyway, a few dozen dead are not a loss, because more soldiers in the back are ready.
The Tang Dynasty is directly chaotic, the city wall is less than ten meters, although the ground is still about one meter high after the collapse, but this can't stop the infantry of Tubo at all. Seeing this situation, Fan Wenwei in the back walked over directly with more than 50 pro-soldiers around him. At this time, he could only resist in person, because there were not too many Tang troops. But even with the addition of these more than 50 people, this small section of the city wall is only about 100 people.
And the Tibetan army has already rushed over like a wave, whether it is smoke and cold water or white sandalwood, they are very nervous.
