South of the city, on the bank of the wrong river.

Dense camp tents spread all the way to the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Countless boats, large and small, shuttle back and forth on the river without hindrance.

Even farther away, the black-armored cavalry was already on the way to the end of sight.

That song has been completely isolated.

……

On the north shore, horses neighed and knives and guns were everywhere.

Under the black daxuan, Li Xuan handed the secret letter to Xiao Siye and said softly: "Tomorrow, Her Royal Highness Princess Wen Chang will be taken back to Naqu." ”

Xiao Siye took the secret letter, glanced at it, handed it to Yang Zhirou and Wei Hongji, and said seriously: "If Her Royal Highness the princess can return to Chang'an, then the government and the opposition will be extremely excited, and the handsome will be great." ”

"You are also meritorious." Li Xuan smiled and said: "General Zuo Xiaowei attacked this time, killed under the city of Tubo, and before the Tubo cavalry reacted, he directly picked up Her Royal Highness the princess and left, the Tubo people wanted to chase, but they didn't dare to chase, presumably they had already received the news of the defeat of the Qinling." ”

"Regarding the defeat of Qinling, even if we don't have more detailed news, we can imagine the shaking up and down in Tibet." Yang Zhirou arched his hand, looked at Li Xuan and said: "The Gar family also has a foothold in Tubo's military exploits, and their defeat is afraid that they will lose their military exploits for many years, and someone is indispensable to be ready to move." ”

"That's right, in this case, we don't even need to do too many tricks, it's enough to subvert it internally." Li Xuan smiled, then looked at the song in front of him, and said softly: "Then now, it's time for me to take this city." ”

Xiao Siye and Yang Zhirou looked solemn, they had been under Naqu City for six days.

To this day, there are still no white flags in the city.

Illustrative Theory: Qinling is still alive.

Although their siege of the city in a few days went smoothly, the fact that Qinling was not dead also made them feel faintly uneasy, lest something go wrong.

Do things with care.

"Yesterday, Wang Shilang sent a letter, and in five days, a new batch of military rations will arrive in Tanggula Town, and there will be 3,000 people with them, and after these people arrive, they will harvest grain and grass in patches."

Li Xuan looked up at Xiao Siye and said, "Therefore, we need to wait for them to arrive to appease the people, enter the household registration, and count the fields. ”

"This is the responsibility of the lower officials." Xiao Siye arched his hand with a serious expression.

Li Xuan nodded, then looked at Yang Zhirou and said, "Brother Yang can also participate in it, the sooner it settles, the sooner we will prepare to attack Luo." ”

Attacking Luo, Li Xuan's words, everyone's breathing couldn't help but become solemn.

From Naqu to Logo, it is more than 600 miles in total.

The cavalry galloped desperately, and it was only two days and one night, and they were now very close to Logic.

The reason why they stayed in Naqu was because they knew very little about the situation further south in Tibet.

What is the military configuration in Tibet?

Who will support Logos from where?

Where is the likely battlefield?

What is the situation of the commander and the opposing army?

They know very little about these problems, and the only thing they can hope for now is Zuo Xiaowei's five thousand cavalry, as well as Princess Wencheng who brought back.

So before they send troops, they have to stabilize the back road, which is what they set at the very beginning.

Their purpose is not just to take down the Luo and then grab a vote and leave, but to really rule Tibet, and there are many things that need to be done.

"The lower officials obey the order." Yang Zhirou solemnly bowed his hand.

Li Xuan looked up at Wei Hongji and said: "The army has been attacking for six days, although it has not used all its strength, but it is enough to see through some of the false reality, Shaofu has made great contributions, please continue today." ”

"Whoa!" Wei Hongji seriously bowed his hand and turned to look at the entourage on the side.

The red pennant waved, and the next moment, among the thousands of cavalry, thirty catapults had been pulled forward by soldiers and war horses.

Countless rolling stones were placed on one side, and the soldier quickly moved to place the rolling stones on the stopped catapult.

With a "boom", more than 30 rolling stones had smashed on the city wall, and the city wall suddenly shook violently.

Wei Hongji rode in from behind, quickly swept past the catapults, and shouted instructions to them to adjust the angle.

The next moment, the high rolling stone had already flown up again, and finally landed behind the female wall, and countless blood splashed suddenly.

There was an endless scream from the city wall, but soon, someone came from behind.

……

Looking at the dense Tubo soldiers on the city wall, Li Xuan nodded lightly, Naqu City is still of some level.

Now in the entire Naqu, the Tang Dynasty has only one place in the south, and it is open in the east, west, and north.

But not one of the whole city of Naqu escaped from it.

It can be seen that this Dazhha can still control some situations.

"After six days of siege, the Tubo people have died another 2,000 people, right?" Li Xuan turned sideways, and Xiao Siye immediately replied: "There is." ”

"That is, they requisitioned a lot of men from among the people and slaves in the city." Li Xuan's eyes flashed slightly.

Xiao Siye's heart suddenly jumped, he knew that Li Xuan had sent a lot of people into Naqu before, and now these people should also come in handy.

"Within six days, the water flowing into the city from outside the city has been completely cut off, I think they should have made trouble more than once, now this kind of thing, I'm afraid no one has the heart to appease it, and food, although a lot of soldiers have been dispatched, but there are more people without food." Li Xuan smiled shallowly.

Yang Zhirou couldn't help but say: "The city is still under siege outside, and there are also constant dead people in the city, lack of water, lack of food, and the people inside are already trying their best to appease people's hearts, but if it is ...... at this time"

"Huh!" Li Xuan smiled and waved his hand, and Yang Zhirou immediately stopped.

At this moment, the five-wheeled catapult attack was suspended.

In the rear, six arrow towers as high as three zhang have slowly approached the city from the army array.

The wall of the curve is only two zhang high, but the arrow tower is already three zhang high.

At the head of the city, more than a dozen rolling stones were thrown out fiercely, but they did not fly high, nor far, and they were not even allowed.

Li Xuan shook his head in his heart, talking about the defeat of the Qinling army, and the craftsmen in the army did not stay in Naqu at all.

The guards managed to get out of the catapults, but there was no army.

The arrow tower has approached three hundred steps, and with a "buzz", countless arrow rains have already flown up and rushed directly to the city.

The Tubo soldiers in the city immediately returned their arrows to fight back, but unfortunately, in addition to leaving a corpse in one place, more Tubo arrows fell directly under the arrow tower.

The arrows of the Tibetans were thin and light, and the cavalry raided, and the speed of the war horse could be borrowed, but in this kind of siege warfare, this kind of arrow was difficult to hurt.

The cowhide covered under the arrow tower stopped the thin arrows that occasionally slipped through the net, and the arrow tower continued to push forward, condescending, and the lethality was even more amazing.

A Tibetan soldier fell to the ground with an arrow, but was quickly dragged away, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The people in the city were extremely depressed when they saw the carloads of corpses being pulled away.

At this time, outside the city, countless loud voices shouted loudly in Tubo: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty has a Tubo language:

Since ancient times, emperors have ruled the world, all of which have been in China to control Yidi, and Yidi has lived outside to serve China.

Within the four seas, they do not surrender; This is not a human power, it is really a gift from God.

Tibet's evil neighbors, the perverse state, are unkind, cunning, aggressive, miserly and lewd; Cumbersome, cunning and rampant......

I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sent some roads to march in charge...... Attack Subi, plunder the army and sheep, and force the northern foot of Tanggula Mountain.

Swing a blow and break that song in the south of the mountain; Leap and destroy in an instant......"

……

The numb people in the city finally couldn't help but raise their heads at this time.

With a blow of force, it broke the song in the south of the mountain.

Isn't this their current situation, they can't care about anything or something, but right now, the song is about to break the city,

Immediately, the voice sounded again: "The heavenly soldiers are together, and the soldiers will immediately collapse, the dead will be ruined, and the living will not be protected." Although it is caused by personnel, it is really disgusted with its virtue and abandoned. ”

At this moment, the voices outside the city stopped, and immediately, even louder shouts rang out: "The dead are smeared with liver and brain, and the living are not protected...... Tibet, the ...... of heaven Tibet, the ...... of heaven Tibet, the ...... of disgust"

The voice kept ringing repeatedly, making people feel a burst of hair and even dizziness.

"Tibet, God hates it." Lying on both sides of the street, many skinny people subconsciously followed along.

Looking at the corpses on the street that were pulled away by a car, endless resentment flashed in their eyes, and then they cursed fiercely: "Tubo, God hates it." ”

In the corner, a man with a broken arm and a dusty face leaned sideways to listen attentively, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Outside the city, on the banks of the Cuona River, under the black daku.

Xiao Siye listened to the shouts around him, looked sideways at Li Xuan, and asked, "Da Shuai doesn't plan to use this hand in Luo, right?" ”

"Hmm." Li Xuan glanced at Yang Zhirou, who was listening carefully, nodded, and said: "This king found that the Tubo people are not interested in those things in the Tubo court, but if you say that Tubo is rejected by the heavens, many people will immediately become excited. ”

"I see." Xiao Siye and Yang Zhirou nodded subconsciously.

Li Xuan continued: "But the Tibetan people have always been afraid of power and not virtue, so if you want them to really recognize this sentence, then you still have to kill, kill and bleed. ”

"So, then the hearts of the people in the city will ...... again and again tonight" Yang Zhirou suddenly realized something.

Li Xuan smiled and looked to the side.

Cui Ding stood in front of everyone, and hundreds of soldiers under him, holding a simple horn made by Li Xuan, shouted to the city: "This son respects the mandate of heaven, drives away corruption and evil in the temple, saves the people from misery, magnanimity, accepts promises, and does not slander and reprimand...... Those who can know etiquette and righteousness and are willing to be subjects are no different from the people of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"May there be a surrender, sincere attachment, then the good will be the same, the help will remain; Stubborn resistance, for my Koukou, then Tiange Chengyu, swept away. ”

……

In the dead of night, under the west gate, countless figures quietly appeared, and at this time, dozens of simple rope ladders hung directly from the city.

The figure below immediately climbed up to the top of the city quickly.

Hundreds of Tibetan soldiers armed with short knives and vegetable-looking faces stared at them viciously.

One of the people behind stepped forward and arched his hand: "These are the slave soldiers in the city, and after the city is broken, they will be given good land......

"The best good field, the handsome man is true to his word." Under the firelight, Cui Ding climbed up from behind.

The man hurriedly looked behind him, and immediately, those Tibetan soldiers couldn't help but call.

"Now, open the gates." Cui Ding leaned forward.

The man immediately gave up his hand: "Wow! ”

Other Tibetan soldiers did the same.

Soon, with a creak, the gates opened.

……

In the east of the city, a black-covered carriage was fleeing southward at great speed under the escort of hundreds of Tibetan guards.

Behind him, there was already a fire in the city.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and the sword was instantly unsheathed.

"Great Minister, this king has been waiting for you for a long time."
