Outside the north gate, a black figure hanging outside the city gate and above the water, at the moment when the light sergeant appeared on the city wall, clenched the long knife in his hand, stabbed directly into the gap in the city gate, and then slashed hard.

There was a "boom", and under the inner city gate, it seemed that something had collapsed all at once.

In an instant, the city gate had been opened directly inward, and a huge flood rushed into the city gate in an instant.

All the light soldiers in the city were stunned at this moment.

"Retreat, go up to the south wall." An anxious and calm voice sounded, and in an instant, almost all the light soldiers had frantically rushed towards the southern city wall.

There was only one road to the northern wall, which had just been opened, and the southern wall, which they had just come from.

In the sound of "boom", the huge waves directly hit the entire city pass, and rushed directly to the city gate to the south.

But at this time, the southern gate had just been closed by the Tibetan soldiers.

The huge wave slammed into the city gate, and for a moment, the entire city wall shook slightly......

"Bang!" Countless mud bags fell directly from the hole in the city gate, smashed on the ground, and then were directly washed on the city gate by the torrent, and in an instant, the south city gate was completely blocked.

After a few moments, everything stopped.

There were not many torrents rushing out of the city outside the north gate, and even if there were no people in the city who could escape to the city walls in time, they only drowned to the point where the people had just reached their chests, and what really harvested their lives was the traps around them.

Trap pits, full of tripwires, chains, trenches, spikes, and stones all over the ground......

Under the impact of the flood, hundreds of people disappeared in an instant.

On the southern city wall, looking at the white water, the leader of the Light Army was directly stunned, what is going on?

How could there be so much standing water outside of Amdo?

It's late autumn now, and when did they start playing with stagnant water again?

Or is it that the matter of their coming here today has already been known to the Tang people one step ahead.

No, maybe in half a month, or even before, they have already begun to store water and wait for the impact.

The eyes of the leader of the Light Army quickly sobered up.

With the shrewdness of King Nanchang, it is impossible not to find the key point of Amdo, so it is normal for him to have some arrangements.

But he was able to accurately arrange the light army......

Suddenly, the leader of the Light Army suddenly looked outside the Guancheng to the south, and couldn't help but immediately give an order: "Hurry up, go quickly......"

As soon as the sound of panic started, the next moment, countless roaring horse hooves had already sounded, and thousands of cavalry had already rushed out from the left and right sides, killing the place where the light army was ambushing.

The light army on the ground stood up in an instant, and they did not choose to flee at all, but rushed towards the killing cavalry.

Countless arrows flew into the air in an instant, and all of them fell in an instant.

"Duo Duo!" In the blink of an eye, hundreds of lives have been directly buried under the arrow.

And more cavalry turned directly into the distance in an abrupt moment, and more bows and arrows had already flown up at the moment of turning......

"Turkic." On the city wall, the leader of the Light Army couldn't help but grit his teeth when he saw this scene.

Only the Turks were the best at this kite-flying cavalry technique.

If it was the Tang army, they would only stupidly rush and kill directly, so that the light army would be easier to play, but when they met the Turks, they seemed to have encountered natural enemies......

The leader of the Light Army forced himself to calm down and quickly analyzed the situation in front of him.

Of the 5,000 light army, 2,000 remained outside the city, 3,000 were in the city, of which more than 1,000 were on the southern wall, 1,000 on the northern wall, and a few hundred were inside the city, and how many died is unknown.

It doesn't matter where they are, what matters is where the Tang people are?

The five thousand Turkic cavalry outside the southern city have already appeared, so what about the others, the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Tang army who were originally stationed here?

The leader of the Light Army, his eyes turned to the north.

There are more than 1,000 soldiers stationed in Amdo, but there are five or six thousand in the entire Tanggula Mountain checkpoint.

When the light army seized this place, it itself had reinforcements to intercept the lake in the south and Tanggula Mountain to the north.

After all, the strength of the Tang army in Tanggula Mountain is weaker, but the distance is too long, and their forces are too small to divide their troops and control them all.

Their original purpose was to occupy Amdo, intercept from the north and south, and then cooperate with the army, mobilize everywhere, kill the main force of the Tang army, and finally capture Naqu, and even intercept and kill the entire Tang army here.

But unexpectedly, their purpose was discerned from the beginning.

Five thousand Turkic cavalry were arranged outside to intercept and kill, and with such a scene of water inside, the light army's ability to move was immediately limited.

The most important thing now is to escape the current predicament in time.

The five thousand cavalry to the south were there, but what about the north?

There must be endless means to the north, and it is absolutely not beneficial for them to fight into Tanggula Mountain.

The most basic point is that they are far away, and they will get farther and farther away from Naqu, and no matter how strong they are, there will only be a dead end in the end.

And they can't escape far from the north, the key is to look at the amount of water in the city, you know that the Tang people have also prepared a naval army.

The best thing to do now is for everyone to immediately evacuate from the south and join up with the 2,000 men below.

These people on the southern wall are easy to say, and they can just climb down, but those on the north wall, I am afraid that as soon as they enter the water, the Tang people will immediately rush into the water and use the boat to snipe them.

When the time comes, the north and the south converge and strangle together, then they will be dead.

Therefore, the only way to sacrifice is to the people of the north.

The decision is made in an instant, and the secret whisper is contacted.

In the next moment, the 1,000 soldiers on the north wall had been fixed on the city wall, and the nearly 2,000 soldiers on the south wall had quickly climbed down the city wall, and then quickly joined the 2,000 soldiers outside.

Countless dense feathered arrows fell, and by the time the two forces converged, there were less than three thousand people still standing.

At this time, the Turkic cavalry suddenly went into the distance and stopped sniping them.

The leader of the Guangjun was immediately confused, and he couldn't understand why the Turks left like this......

It's a horse!

A thought suddenly flashed through the mind of the leader of the Light Army, he had indeed thought of snatching the horses of the Turkic cavalry.

Whether it was to be escorted by cavalry, to cover the flight of the army, or to divert the wounded......

The footsteps of the leader of the Light Army paused, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart: damn Turks.

In just a moment's effort, a burst of confrontation, tens of thousands of arrows and feather arrows have fallen in turn.

Now, more than a thousand light soldiers have fallen directly in a pool of blood, but there are many people who can actually be saved.

However, as long as these injuries are brought with them, then they will be seriously slowed down in the speed of leaving.

When the time comes, they will only be killed by the Turks like flying kites.

"Leave three hundred men and bring the wounded into the city...... If you are weak, then you will descend. The leader of the Light Army shook off with a word, and the next moment, he had already taken less than three thousand Light Army and left directly to the east.

The West is vast and sparsely populated, making it easier to hunt down, but there are several cities in the East, and even if they mix into one of them, there are countless ways to leave.

……

The sky was getting brighter and clearer.

At the eastern foot of Tanggula Mountain, more than 1,000 soldiers were fleeing frantically, but behind them, there were thousands of Turkic cavalry in constant pursuit, and from time to time, hundreds or even a thousand cavalry rushed up and released a feather arrow, effectively killing and injuring hundreds of people, and then quickly withdrawing.

Wave after wave, non-stop alternation.

Now there are no more than 2,000 soldiers left.

It was even thanks to their constant escape in the mountains and forests, so that the Turkic cavalry's bows and arrows could not be fully used.

But even so, the Turkic cavalry had already blocked their way out of the mountains and forests, and they were ready to chase and kill them all the way.

Bloodletting all the way, scraping down layer by layer, until all of them died.

Looking at the village not far away, the leader of the Guangjun led people to rush in without thinking, but as soon as he entered the village, he found that there was no one here for a long time.

Even in the whole village, there was not even any food.

After running all the way, the Guangjun had no food to bring with him, and now he could only find some drinking water from the village......

"It's on fire!" The frightened voice at the entrance of the village sounded, and the face of the leader of the Light Army suddenly showed endless regret and pain.

He shouldn't leave Amdo, as long as he stays in Amdo, then he can use Amdo as a defensive place to deal with the Tang people.

However, he could also imagine that kind of scene, the Tang people would not take the initiative to attack at all, they only needed to trap them in Amdo for three days, and they would be trapped to death.

Alone in the depths, thousands of miles of attack, as long as they are discovered, and then the wall clears the wilderness, and falls into the trap, they have only one way to die.

But who would have thought that they would even set fires.

The leader of the light army could only quickly rush out of the village and town with his men, and then continue to fight to the east.

In the distance, a river appears at the end of the view.

Dangqu River.

Along this river, they could kill all the way to Nie Rong, but they also knew that Nie Rong must have been on endless alert.

All they needed was to cross from Nie Rong County, and then go straight to the Naqu River, as long as they crossed the Naqu River, they could join the army.

But I also knew that their line would be pursued by the Turkic cavalry, and it was difficult to say how many of them fled back in the end.

……

It was nearly noon, and the head of the city was in Naqu.

Li Xuan looked at the few Tubo cavalry on the south bank of the Naqu River, couldn't help but shake his head, and asked, "Where are those people from the Guang Army?" ”

Yang Zhirou immediately stepped forward and arched his hand: "Just reported, the three hundred light army is already about to rush to the Naqu River." ”

"Three hundred?" Li Xuan asked with some surprise, "Are there only three hundred people left?" ”

"Yes, the Turkic cavalry plundered all the way, more than 3,000 people, and only 300 people were killed." Yang Zhirou's face showed infinite amazement.

He now finally understood the horror of the Turks, and once there was no stable base, then under the plunder of the Turks, everyone was a lamb to the slaughter.

"The strength of the light army is very strong, but the problem is that they are running for a long distance, and there is a serious shortage of food, grass, ordnance, and military armor." Li Xuan raised her eyes slightly, and said indifferently: "If they didn't enter the city at all last night and went directly and quietly lurking, then not many people could help them, but it's a pity that they entered the city." ”

Yang Zhirou was silent, he could understand the meaning of Li Xuan's words.

The greatest advantage of the Light Army is that it is lurking, and once it comes out of the darkness, it will immediately lose its foothold.

"It was actually wise to flee after that, if it wasn't for the Turkic cavalry, maybe they would have escaped, but the Turks are the best at this hand." The corners of Li Xuan's mouth brought a sneer, the Tubo people met the Turks, it was like meeting a natural enemy.

Of course, the Tang Dynasty is now the natural enemy of the Turks.

"Then why didn't they just disperse into the mountains?" Yang Zhirou asked a puzzled question.

Li Xuan glanced at him in surprise, shook his head, and said, "If it is somewhere else, there is no problem in escaping into the mountains, but it is Tanggula Mountain, not to mention the difficult environment, the key is that there are not many supplies...... Now that it is late autumn, the local people have already searched for everything that can be eaten on the mountain, maybe three or five hundred people can, but they have several thousand ......"

After a slight pause, Li Xuan said with emotion: "At that time, there is no need to chase and kill at all, just need to block the exit, and they themselves will be starved to death, and even kill each other, these five thousand light troops can be regarded as dying in the hands of Zan Xiruo." ”

"Then the remaining three hundred, Dashuai?" Yang Zhirou looked sideways at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Send someone to put a small boat in the Naqu River, and put another letter on it." ”

As he spoke, Li Xuan took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Zhirou.

Yang Zhirou took a look and saw that it was written: "The Queen Mother of Tubo respectfully." ”
