Others may not know where the border guards went, but the common people of the border area know very well.

When the Tang army came over, these border defenders didn't think to resist, they actually ransacked the villages in the border area first.

According to them, instead of letting the Datang army rob you all, it is better for us to rob it in advance, at least these things will not fall into the hands of the Datang army.

These people directly choose to turn a blind eye to the crying of the people, they have not been paid military salaries for three months, and if they don't take advantage of the chaos to get some money at this time, they don't know how to live after running back.

The local people have been living in the border area for a long time, and many of them are hunting in the mountains, and they also have a bit of kung fu in their hands, so when these routs came to rob, they took out their weapons without saying a word.

When the Tang army rushed over, they found out about this strange scene, we didn't need to do it at all, the border people and the border guards fought by themselves, and the recruits were all fatal.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought I was hell."

Changsun Chong's army rushed the fastest, and when he saw dozens of corpses at the entrance of the village, he really didn't know what to say, these people were the original border guards, and some of them were local villagers.

"General, what about us?"

Since there are no more strong men in the village, shouldn't we implement the strategy of fighting to feed the war?

"Don't be blinded by these petty profits, our task is to make all the soldiers give up entering the village and continue to get on their horses."

Changsun Chong's strategy is very simple, if the people in the village don't attack us, then we might as well let them go first, the most important thing is to occupy the city first, compared to the wealth in the city, these places are too poor, there is no oil and water, it is not worth our waste of effort and time.

The people in the village were trembling, and what they were most afraid of was that when the Tang army rushed in and watched the battle of the Bi army by the river just now, the young men in the village had already died a lot, but they didn't expect that the Tang soldiers did not rob, but they went into the distance.

"What's going on? The Tang army didn't do anything to us, but our own army killed so many people. ”

Many people in the village began to cry, their son and husband had died in the clashes, and the whole village was left to be slaughtered.

This situation is not in a few border areas, there are still nearly 20,000 defenders, Li Xiang and they didn't see the brigade at all when they came, except for more than 1,000 people captured, the rest of the people must have run away.

Coming from the border warehouse, seeing that these people left without anything, if they want to survive, I am afraid they have no second way except to rob the people in the border area.

The common people are not stupid, it took so long to get such a little thing, if they were all robbed by you, then how would they live? The conflict between the two sides has not been adjusted from the beginning, and the room is all for survival, which is naturally a move to kill.

The prefect of Wacheng stood on the city wall at this moment, looking at the smoke rising in the distance, and he knew that there must be an army coming.

The Datang Hall has not yet been taken, and there are less than 7,000 people in the entire city to fight......

The will of the court of the country of Pi also came, so that he took 4,000 people to support the border pass, to keep the Tang army out of the country, this guy looked at the order of the court helplessly, you will give orders in the south, don't you know that the Tang army has come? Why keep people out of the country? Is it just that his subordinates are old, weak, sick and disabled these days?

When attacking the Datang Hall, he saw that some of the Datang army personnel in it were still retired, and we would fall into the water if we really met the real army of Datang, where would we have the ability?

The Tang Army......

When they saw the Tang banner in the distance, the prefect of Wacheng knew that their end was coming, and they thought that the army that ran back from the border pass, who knew that it was the Tang army, and this army was the 2,000 cavalry under Changsun Ze.

"How is this possible, we have so many troops at the border pass, even if we escape, it should be in front of the Tang army."

The prefect's words, I don't know if it was for himself or for others, at this moment he has no strength in his body, relying on the support of his hands, he can stand up.

Not to mention the people around, seeing the fierce Tang cavalry in the distance, and they are also pulling some strange things, coming from the border in such a short time, and there is such a good mental outlook, why should we fight with others?

Look at our people with sallow faces and thin bodies, it's really not on the same level.

The main thing is that a large amount of supplies are outside the city, even if you want to defend the city, it will not be an easy task.

"What are they doing?"

The prefect said a little confused, originally thought that after this army came, it should be camped outside the city, and it would take a little rest for a day or two before attacking the city tomorrow, but I didn't expect that this army didn't have any rest at all and got down the strange thing that the war horse was pulling, like a crossbow.

"Catapult."

The soldiers on the city wall shouted loudly, and although the catapults could not reach it at this distance, they had to show their presence, or the army under the city would really think that we could do nothing.

"Yes, yes, hurry up and throw stones."

The prefect also thought that this might be their only means of counterattacking, there was not even a chief general in the entire city, let him be commanded by a civil official, he was crying to death now, I really don't know how the court of the country of Pi arranged it.

Before the catapults on the city wall were ready, the ballistas outside had already begun to attack.

Although the Tang army already has a real artillery, it is too slow to move, so the generals below still like to use this ballista.

More than a dozen crossbow guns flew out with explosives tied to them, and there was black smoke behind them, and the soldiers of the country knew that this thing was not a good Xiang Yu, but when it really exploded on the city wall, they knew how powerful this thing was.

As soon as the two catapults were pushed out, they were directly blown to pieces, and the soldiers on the city wall, including several soldiers around them, were dumbfounded......
