Looking at the smoke and dust billowing in the distance, the Tubo cavalry was charging forward, and Xu Shiji ordered in a deep voice.

"Charge the whole army!"

The majestic horn sounded, and the Tang army slowly moved and began to charge, like a sleeping giant beast finally showing its hideous fangs and began to hunt, and the prey was the 40,000 Tubo cavalry in front, walking this Tubo cavalry for so long, Xu Shiji had already figured out the reality of this Tubo cavalry, but there were only about 40,000 cavalry, and the strength was not as good as their Tang army. The best thing is to win more with less, to be precise, it is not good at winning more with less, but only a small number of troops are enough to defeat the enemy, so every battle is always more with less, so what happens when the Tang army has more troops than the enemy? Of course, it was like a devastating sweep of the enemy, the two armies collided together on the vast plateau, and after holding each other for a while, the balance of victory tilted to the side of the Tang Dynasty, not to be exact, but to dump, the Tubo cavalry rushed to the forefront of the soldiers instantly defeated, Qin Ling's face suddenly became iron-blue, and shouted.

"Rush! Come on! Kill me! Resist! ”

"Shang Lun! I can't stand it! I really can't stand it! The Tang people are too fierce! ”

"Shang Lun! Let's go, if you don't go, you won't be able to leave! ”

Listening to the shouts of his own soldiers, Qin Ling's face turned blue and white for a while, and a look of hesitation flashed on his face, he had already seen that his cavalry was falling behind, but he was very unwilling, this time he took the initiative to attack against his father's will, if he couldn't defeat the Tang army, then how could he go back and explain to his father? Although his father will not kill him, he will be very disappointed, which may affect whether he can inherit the position of Zampu in the future, after all, his father can live a long time in good health, and his younger brother will grow up slowly, so how can he go back in such a disgraced manner? Just as Qin Ling hesitated, he suddenly heard a loud shout.

"Where is Qinling Xiao'er? If there is a kind of stand up and eat my old minister, a shot! ”

This loud shout exploded in his ears like thunder, overwhelming countless shouts and shouts, Qin Ling fixed his eyes and saw a big man with a big waist and a round waist was wielding a horse lance to kill, only to see him covered in blood, a wave of the horse lance swept a piece, like a killing god, Qin Ling, who was originally hesitating, couldn't help but gasp, although victory or defeat is very important, but life is more important, as long as you are alive, everything is possible, if you die, even if there are many people to praise it is meaningless.

"Let's go!"

Qin Ling said with difficulty, what prompted him to make up his mind was not only Cheng Biting Jin, who killed like a god, he had already seen the scene of defeat like a mountain, defeated, even if his father was here, he was powerless to return to the sky, and now the most important thing is to return to Luoqi City, as long as he holds Luoqi City, then the mistake he made is not too big, and his father will not be too harsh on him.

"Get rid of the Tang army and return to Luoqicheng! Return to the city of Raksha and hold on! ”

Qinling commanded loudly, the defeated soldiers of Tubo all over the mountains rushed in the direction of Luoqi City, and the Tang army followed closely behind, Qinling chased the Tang army with cavalry for a day and a night, but he didn't expect to turn around in the end, just in an instant, the hunter became the prey, so far, Qinling finally understood how strong the Tang army's combat power was, and he also understood why Songtsen Gampo would be defeated under Xinghai City, and also understood why 100,000 iron horsemen were finally buried on the battlefield, and also understood why Songtsen Gampo fled like a lost dog, It's not that Songtsen Gampo is too stupid, but that the Tang army is too strong, and Qinling just doesn't understand a little, since the Tang army's combat power is so strong, why not fight a big battle at the beginning, but flee all the way? Qin Ling couldn't figure this out, at this moment he just regretted it very much, he shouldn't have chased him all the way when the Tang army fled in embarrassment, he should have chased him until sunset and returned to Luo Some City, it's a pity! Now it's too late to say all this, Qinling looked back while galloping his horse, and didn't know how many soldiers and horses could escape back to Luocheng City, if there were too few soldiers and horses who fled back, it would not be so easy to defend Luosome cities, just when Qinling fled in embarrassment, Xu Shiji and they chased wildly with cavalry, Li Yong also took the army of the Shenji Battalion back to Luocheng City, and the mighty army came straight to Luocheng City, the walls of Luocheng were trembling under the iron horses, and the guards on the city wall looked out in shock. Why did the army suddenly move outside the city? Did Shang Lun come back with the army? After waiting for the army to approach, their expectations were suddenly disappointed, this is not Shang Lun's soldiers and horses, this is clearly the Tang Army, the Tang Army actually killed under the city, what about Shang Lun's soldiers and horses? They don't know, they only know that they are panicking at the moment, the sound of the alarm bell resounded throughout the city, all the officials and people in the city couldn't help but shudder when they heard this sound, what does the sound of the alarm bell mean? It means an enemy attack! It is likely that the Tang army was killed under the city of Luoqi! The officials who remained in the city climbed the city wall in a hurry, and they saw the army outside the city as well.

"It's a Tang Dynasty! It was the Tang people who killed the city! ”

The soldiers on the city wall panicked.

"How so? Didn't Shang Yan lead the army to attack? How could the Tang army kill the city? Where is Shang Lun's army? ”

The officials asked in unison.

However, no one can answer this question.

"Lord Qi Ben, what should we do now?"

"If Shang Lun's army is defeated, then it makes no sense that we haven't seen a single defeated soldier, so it must be that Shang Lun didn't find the Tang army, so let the Tang army fight under the city, as long as we can hold on for a day or two, Shang Lun will definitely lead the troops back as soon as possible, and then we will be able to defeat the Tang army!"

Qi Ben said in a deep voice, and the officials couldn't help nodding when they heard it, I have to say that Qi Ben's analysis is indeed very reasonable, and he hasn't even seen a single defeated soldier so far, which means that it is likely that Shang Lun has not been defeated, of course, this is also the greatest hope in everyone's hearts.

"Yes, yes, as long as we hold on, Shang Yan will definitely lead the troops back, and the Tang army will definitely be defeated when the time comes!"

The other officials nodded their heads in agreement, in fact, they had reached this point, what else could they think but think so?

"Ben Danbu, no matter what, you must hold on, and wait for Shang Lun to lead the troops back!"

Qi Ben said in a deep voice, as the only general left behind, Ben Danbu's face turned green when he heard it, there were only two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city, how could he hold on? This single cloth is difficult.

"Lord Qi Ben, there are only two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people in the city, how can you hold on? It's hard for a good woman to cook without rice! ”

There are only 2,000 old and weak, sick and disabled, one city wall on four sides, and hundreds of people on one city wall. At this moment, Ben Danbu really wanted to burst into foul language, just their two thousand old, weak, sick and disabled, even if Lu Dongzan came, he couldn't keep it! Qi Ben also understood the difficulties involved, he thought for a moment and said in a deep voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, no matter what, some cities cannot be lost, it is not other tribes that are attacking the city, once the city is broken, the butcher's knife of the Tang people will not recognize people, and we will all die! Therefore, don't hide it, everyone should not hide it, everyone will put all the entourage and guards in your house on the city wall to defend the city, and everyone should not be reluctant, if the city is broken, our lives will be gone, what is the use of guarding? ”

Now the people who can be recruited in the city are the entourage guards of the officials, and the middle-aged men in the city have long been recruited and transferred to the army by Lu Dongzan to fight, Qi Ben is reasonable, and the officials also understand that what he said is indeed reasonable, if the city is broken, it is useless to keep more guards, everyone will die.

"Qi Ben is right, we will send all the entourage guards to guard the city!"

"Okay, that's it!"

"The most important thing now is to hold on to the city!"

Qi Ben said in a deep voice.

"Ben Danbu, everyone can get together and get together a thousand eight hundred people, these people are all assigned by you, if anyone doesn't listen to you, you can cut him directly, no matter who you cut down, no matter who you cut, you will not be held accountable, just one point, if you have to defend the city anyway, at least for two days!"

Although there are more than 1,800 people, the bitterness on Ben Danbu's face has not decreased, because the more than 1,800 people have not changed much about the situation, but there is no way back, Ben Danbu nodded with a heavy face.

"Hold on for two days, and the last general will try hard!"

Hearing Ben Danbu say that he could only give it a try, Qi Ben couldn't say anything except a sigh, because they all understood how difficult it was for such a few people to defend the city, so they couldn't blame Ben Danbu, and they could only blame Qinling for not listening to everyone's instructions, and they insisted on taking the initiative to attack, so that they put Luo Qi City in danger, can they hold on for two days? This single cloth has no bottom in his heart, but he can give it a try, two days is not short, and it is not too long, the Tang army outside the city is galloping, how can they attack the city? After all, there are not a few trees around the city, it is not easy for the Tang army to make siege equipment, and they have to look for felled trees from a long distance to bring back, maybe within these two days, the Tang army may not be ready to attack the city, the Shenji battalion stopped, Li Yong sat on the horse and looked at the city, the city is not big, the city wall is also a little low, it is not difficult to capture the city, the only trouble is that there are no trees outside the city, and it is impossible to make a siege ladder, however, Li Yong's face is still an indifferent look, He thought that there were no trees around the city, and of course, he couldn't have traveled thousands of miles from Tuyuhun to bring trees to the city, who said that the siege ladder must be used to attack the city?

"The musketeers dismount! Press it up, suppress it with firepower! ”

The musketeers dismounted and lined up, and then lined up in a neat array to step forward, on the city wall, Ben Danbu and a group of officials were paying close attention to the movements outside the city, seeing the Tang army dismount and line up, they immediately became nervous, the Tang army is going to attack the city! The siege is coming faster than expected! But Ben Danbu felt very puzzled, because he didn't see any siege equipment for the Tang army, he only saw that the Tang army was advancing in a dense camp, how could he attack the city without siege equipment? Take the head attack? And how can there be such a dense formation? Wouldn't that be a live target for bows and arrows? Qi Ben and other officials couldn't help but talk about it.

"Is the Tang army just attacking the city?"

"yes, that's weird, how can this siege?"

"Could it be that the Tang Army has some conspiracy?"

"What other machinations can there be?"

"What can the general see?"

Ben Danbu shook his head slightly after hearing this.

"I didn't see anything, but the Tang army's formation was so tight, a few rounds of bows and arrows were fired, and the Tang army must have suffered a lot of damage."

Could it be that the general of the Tang Army is a big fool who doesn't know how to soldier? In addition, he couldn't think of other possibilities, at this moment, Ben Danbu suddenly had confidence in holding the city, no matter what, first give the Tang army a lesson, hit the arrogance of the Tang army, and buy some time for the return of Qinling.

"All bow and arrow, ready!"

Ben Danbu shouted, there is no Tubo man who does not know how to bow and arrow, so at this moment, all the defenders on the city wall have become archers, even the entourage guards of those officials who were hurriedly transferred have also become archers, bows and arrows are still their own, all the soldiers defending the city are ready, aiming at the Tang army outside the city, just waiting for the Tang army to enter the firing range, immediately pull the bow and shoot arrows, looking forward to, looking forward to, wait a while, why did the Tang army suddenly stop? Seeing that the Tang army was about to enter the range of bows and arrows, the Tang army suddenly stopped, they were ready to shoot arrows, and the Tang army stopped, at this moment, all the soldiers defending the city had their blood pressure soaring, it was really too flashing.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Why did the Tang army suddenly stop? ”

A group of officials asked in unison, their eyes all turned to Ben Danbu, Ben Danbu almost didn't vomit blood, how do I know why Tang Jun stopped? In fact, he has fought a lot of battles, but he has never seen such a strange situation, just when Shan Benbu was thinking, he suddenly saw a burst of white smoke coming out of front of the Tang army, what the hell is this, why is it still smoking? Before the single cloth collapsed, there was a dense popping sound in my ears, what kind of sound was this? What the hell is going on? Shan Ben Bu suddenly heard screams around him, suddenly looked left and right, and suddenly found that many people suddenly screamed and fell to the ground, between the lightning and flint, Shan Ben Bu suddenly thought of it, this must be a firearm! This must be the musket of the Don Army!

"It's a musket! It's the musket of the Divine Machine Battalion! Get down! Take a picture! ”

Shan Benbu shouted, in fact, there is no need to shout with Shan Benbu, the officials and soldiers on the city wall are all hiding, it is too weird and terrifying! However, after listening to the shouts of Shan Benbu, they realized what was happening, and it turned out that this was a musket! I didn't expect the range of the musket to be so far, and before they could shoot the bow and arrow, the musket of the Tang army could already hit the city, how could this be hit? I don't even dare to raise my head, how can I defend the city?

"General Shan Benbu, General Shan Benbu, what should I do now?"

Qi Ben squatted on the ground and asked loudly, what should I do? How do I know what to do? Shan Benbu squatted on the ground and cursed in his heart.
