Chapter 496: Bloody Battle of Lianyun Castle (Part II)

Lianyunbao defender Qianzong Zong Lu turned back from the top of the watchtower and ordered all the defenders angrily: "Stop these Tang troops as soon as possible!" ”

He saw Li Siye, who was rushing left and right with a knife, and the hairs on his body stood on end, and the nightmare of the old days seemed to come back to his heart. He was like a puppet under control, forced to betray all the information of Tibet and Kagarudundai, so that his heart was at peace and fell into an endless hell.

A few months ago, Gong Juezan escaped from the Green Ridge Guard, and was able to escape all the way to Lianyun Castle, but fortunately he intercepted it and cut off his head. thought that he would be at ease if he was free from the control of the Tang army, but his spirit was still in a state of anxiety and tension. It wasn't until I saw Li Siye again today that I realized that his heart was sick here, and this strong enemy who had captured him was the source of his inner fear.

"Go! Go! Kill! Who kills the leading Mo knife general! I'll reward him with 500 gold Sasanians! ”

Some of the Tibetan troops guarding the wall continued to throw stones downward, and some of them wielded bows and arrows and spears to resist the onslaught from within.

Tian Zhen led a dozen people to rush towards the south, where the city wall was made of wooden rows, although the wall pillars were sharpened, they looked more fragile, and the sharp knives in their hands cut the wooden walls, it was as easy as chopping wood.

Li Siye led more than a dozen other people to rush to the west wall, and when he encountered the enemy's arrows, he bowed his head and resisted, and several sharp arrows had been inserted in Shan Wenjia's shoulders, although they did not hurt their muscles and bones, but they were also dripping with blood.

The three Gui archers stood on the slope with hammers and flails and pounced downward, and the Yong Guards covered from the side to stab with longer spears, and the Mo knife hand pounced forward, cutting off five or six spears, but the hammer of the flail had already smashed down, and the many pointed helmets of its strength collapsed into it, and blood flowed down the face of one of the knife hands.

"Kill!"

More Gui archers rushed towards them with their slaves in their arms, and Li Siye immediately waved his hand and said, "Retreat first!" ”

He plucked the last of the fiery thunderbolts from his waist, grazed the fire with flint on his horizontal knife and lit it, holding it in his hand and throwing it at the rear of the swarming enemy.

The Tubo people scattered like a fried pot, but the explosion did not sound, and Li Siye was shocked for a moment.

"It's a dumb fire! Chop me while it's messy! ”

The Mo swordsmen rushed forward in unison again, slashing the scattered Yong Guard, Li Siye rushed towards the city wall with a knife and stepping on the corpse, and the young general of Tubo waved the flail again, he jumped up with a bow on both legs, and the blade was like a white exercise, cutting off the connection of the flail into two, and quickly raised the knife horizontally and passed by the other party.

Li Siye fell to the edge of the city wall, and the head of the Gui archer rolled off his shoulders and fell to his knees.

The Tubo army, who threw stones downward, hurriedly grabbed the gun leaning against the wall, and Li Siye slashed him with a knife, cutting him down to the chest, and the female wall of the battlement was swept down. The other man raised his broad-bladed knife and slashed at him, Li Siye held the knife with both hands, raised his foot and kicked him in the chest, stepped forward to grab his armor and threw it off the city wall.

……

The onslaught at the bottom of the mountain was still continuing, and in order to relieve the pressure on Li Siye's internal breakthrough, Gao Xianzhi ordered the whole army to charge in turn. He personally drew his horizontal sword to supervise the battle, and shouted: "Those who are afraid of the battle and retreat, kill!" ”

"Whoever climbs the mountain first, I will allow him to ride the lieutenant six times!"

"Recognize the two lords of the kingdom of hiding and protecting secrets! If your warriors can take the lead in reaching the top, Xianzhi invites you to enter the capital together! ”

Carrying his wounded youngest son to the back of the battle, Gayan removed his braids to reveal his gray hair, raised his sword and shouted, "Kill me to the top of the mountain and avenge my son!" ”

Luo Zhentan, the lord of the Secret Protection Country, also raised the gold-handled horizontal knife in his hand and ordered in a loud voice: "Whoever climbs to the top of the mountain first, I will reward him with 500 argali!" ”

The two armies converged in one place, rushed towards the southern slope, and the city continued to shoot arrows downward, and the Tubo people prepared a large number of supplies in the city, and the battle had been for an hour, and the arrows were still not broken.

The Tang army's attack on the east and west sides was extremely difficult, and the Tubo army mobilized a large number of wood and stones here, and the vanguard jumpers were suppressed in the middle of the mountain with shields.

Finally.

There was a momentary commotion at the head of the city, the stone-throwing enemy turned around and went to fight, a corpse was thrown off the city wall, and Li Siye's Mo knife swept down half of the female wall.

Gao Xianzhi stared at the city despite the scorching sun, keenly spotted the sudden appearance of the fighter, raised his blade and shouted hoarsely at the western slope: "On the western slope! Rush up, the gap opens! ”

The jumpers rushed up with their shields in their hands, as if they were rushing faster than anyone else in a 100-meter sprint, and finally one of them threw the shield first, jumped and jumped on, grabbing the wall battlements and pounced into it.

On the side of the wooden row wall on the southern slope, Tian Zhen also opened the gap, and he and a few Mo swordsmen slashed and killed the enemy while chopping and knocking down the wooden row wall.

Overjoyed, Gayan stroked his gray beard, raised the horizontal knife in his hand, pointed to the gap and shouted, "The wall has collapsed!" Go up to support the Don Army! ”

He led the charge upwards when suddenly an arrow stabbed at him diagonally, striking him in the forehead. He turned around with wide eyes, but saw the Tubo general standing on the lookout platform at the head of Lianyunbao City, and the body of the old lord slowly fell backwards.

"Lord of the Kingdom!" All the warriors came forward and grabbed him.

Li Siye was leading people to wield a knife to kill the Tubo army who were trying to fill the gap, but one of them threw the shield over the wall and climbed up first. He swung his sword and slashed down one of the Gui archers, looking back to see who the strong man who had won the first place was.

But it is a familiar young face, the former Qiuzi Jumping Battalion is Guo Xin, who later served as the brigade leader, and now he is the captain of the third regiment of the Shule Jumping Battalion.

"It's you! That's what stands out. ”

"General be careful!" Guo Xin smiled stunned, threw out the shield in his hand, and a powerful feather arrow was nailed to it, and it actually shot through the copper and the wooden board.

Li Siye narrowed his pupils, and looked in the direction where the feather arrow came from, a Tibetan general with chain mail covered with leather armor stood on the lookout, his entire head was wrapped in chain mail, only the eyehole part was gouged out, and he threw the longbow in his hand on the ground in annoyance. He was surrounded by five or six Gui archers, trying to rely on the lookout to condescend and resist stubbornly.

Although Li Siye couldn't see his face, he had already recognized who it was, and walked towards the lookout with a Mo knife.

The Tang army, the Zhiyin army, and the secret army had already entered the city from two directions, and some of the Tubo army threw away their weapons and surrendered, while the other part was still fighting back desperately, and the two sides fought fiercely in the narrow Lianyun Fort.

The Tubo people did not have an advantage in armor and weapons, and gradually shrank in the direction of the lookout, and when the crossbowmen of the Tang army turned over to the city, the situation became more and more clear.

Li Siye personally rushed to the lookout with a Mo knife, and dozens of Gui archers held their shields to protect Zong Lu in the center, their spears sticking out from behind the shields and holding on to the narrow stone staircase leading to the platform, still resisting stubbornly.

The stone staircase could only accommodate one person to climb upward, and the battlements on the lookout platform were much stronger than the rest of Lianyunbao, and they hid behind the battlements, and for a time there was a stalemate.

In fact, this is not a stalemate, the Tang army has already controlled the entire Lianyun Fort, and only this one high platform is left, just wait until they run out of ammunition and food, and then they can sit back and enjoy the success.

Li Siye shouted to the stage: "Zong Lu, you put down your weapons, I will spare you a way to live." ”

Zong Lu poked his head out of the shield and said stupidly, "I have already surrendered to you once, do I want to surrender again?" ”

Li Siye said loudly: "If you want to kill yourself, you would have died eight years ago, so why wait for today. Are you a pure Tibetan? No! If Kagrudundai really valued you, he would not have put you in this bitter cold and lonely Lianyun Castle. Cast Tang is to abandon the dark to the light, in the past, the grandson of the Tubo Great Lun Lu Dongzan Gong Ren personally led seven thousand Tugu Hun to vote for my Tang Dynasty, and then repeatedly built military exploits, won the deputy ambassador of the Shuo Fang Jiedu, posthumously awarded the king of Bachuan County, and now the heirs of the family are all my Tang Dynasty generals. Wouldn't you like it? ”

There was a moment of silence on the lookout, followed by the clanging of the tip of a knife falling to the ground, followed by the clatter of throwing weapons.
