The sky was dark and the wind was cold.

There are many long lances, and the murderous spirit is pressing.

Li Xuan, dressed in black clothes and black armor, pressed his hand on the hilt of the cold eight-sided Han sword, and strode towards the city with a calm expression.

The atmosphere around him instantly became solemn.

Everyone at the head of the city bowed their heads at the same time: "Great handsome." ”

"Hmm!" Li Xuan nodded, and stepped directly into the bright firelight of the city, and the temperature also warmed up at this moment.

On the top of the city wall, every ten zhang, there was a burning vertical fire with a huge iron pot boiling on it.

The iron pot was full of boiling hot water, ready to be poured from the city at any time.

On the side of the iron pot, there is also a large urn, which is full of cold water.

……

Li Xuan walked under the black daze and turned to look at the whole world outside.

In the four fields, the cold wind gusted.

The Naqu River under the city has been completely frozen, and the Tibetan cavalry can cross it directly.

The surface of the river had been completely frozen even a few days earlier.

To Li Xuan's surprise, Zan Xiruo even waited a few more days for the sake of safety.

Now, the Tibetans finally can't bear it anymore.

Li Xuan's gaze fell on the mountains and fields at the end of his sight, and countless Tubo cavalry jumped directly into Li Xuan's field of vision from outside the heavens and the earth.

A rough count shows that the number of Tibetan cavalry is as high as 30,000.

Li Xuan's expression was suddenly surprised, but he immediately understood, and praised that if this was the main force put on that song, on Li Xuan.

As long as that song happens, as soon as Li Xuan dies, all the power of the Tang Dynasty in Tubo will collapse.

Straight to the Yellow Dragon, capture the dragon and capture the king first.

Li Xuan pressed her hands on the female wall, a cold feeling came to her mind, and a cruel sneer couldn't help but float on her face.

Zan Xiruo came directly towards him, although he was somewhat shocked by what he said, but if he thought about it carefully, in fact, more of them were also in Li Xuan's calculations.

After all, only that song is not down for a day, and there is a possibility that it will be overturned if it is praised one day.

Divide the troops, the more he divides the troops, the easier it is for Li Xuan to seize the opportunity to smash Huanglong.

The difference between Zanxiruo and Zanqinling is here, Zanqinling likes to take risks and dares to take risks, and Zanxiruo should also be more cautious.

As undefeated as possible, undefeated.

Li Xuan's eyes looked at the lion elephant flag that suddenly appeared in the distance, and he finally understood now that he had completely penetrated the dangerous situation that the Gar family was facing now, so he was now terrifying.

lest any flaws be revealed and Li Xuan will see them.

Now, Zan Xiruo is on the offensive and Li Xuan is on the defensive.

He only needs to send 2,000 cavalry to harass the Tang army from all walks of life, leaving 8,000 to guard the rear road, and then the rest is to concentrate 30,000 troops and completely break Naqu.

He didn't know how many troops Li Xuan had in Naqu City, but there was no reason why the 30,000-strong army besieged Naqu, which was not good for the winter catapult and the Fuyuan crossbow.

In Li Xuan's original calculation, Zan Xiruo would at least mobilize 5,000 troops from all walks of life, with a total of 15,000 people to cut off Li Xuan's retreat, but now, there are 9,000 cavalry in the middle and used in Naqu, which shows the importance of Zan Xiruo's treatment of Li Xuan.

Li Xuan's eyes calmly looked at Zan Xiruo under the lion elephant, and for a moment, Zan Xiruo also looked up at the city as if he had a sense.

The eyes of the two people collided fiercely in an instant, calm and resolute, with indifferent killing intent.

Under the lion elephant flag, the flag is waving.

Immediately, countless Tibetan armies quickly spread towards the city walls in all directions.

Even at this time, after the Tibetan army in front of it dispersed, there were still tens of thousands of cavalry behind the lion and elephant flag.

"This person is really stable and terrible." Li Xuan shook his head a little funny, and then, Li Xuan's voice was cold: "Order." ”

"Yes!" Behind him, everyone will give up their hands at the same time.

"Today, no Tibetan is allowed to set foot on the city wall." Li Xuan's face was cold, and the generals around him bowed solemnly.

……

"Knock knock!" The drums of war kept ringing.

Tibetan soldiers spread out in front of the entire city wall, even the front of the city gate.

At the front of the row were thousands of soldiers, riding forward, shields in their hands.

Separated by two or so meters, they looked at the top of the city wall from time to time, as if there would be an attack at any time.

But there was still calm on the walls.

After five rows, there were foot soldiers carrying the ladder.

They are the main force in the siege.

Behind the soldiers carrying the ladder, there were 10,000 people with indifferent faces and swords and shields, and it could be seen that they were the real elites of a hundred battles.

In the rear, there were catapults, aimed directly at the city.

For example, although the color is cold today, you can still open the rope and open the bow, but these things become extremely brittle at low temperatures, and it won't take long to be directly destroyed.

Li Xuan withdrew the catapult and the Fuyuan crossbow to the city, at least the temperature in the city was much higher than outside the city.

But if Zan Xi didn't care so much, the catapult itself here was a crude imitation made by Tibetan craftsmen.

It's expensive, but it's not powerful enough.

In today's weather, it is even more vulnerable, but something is better than nothing.

The lion banner appeared behind the catapult, and there were tens of thousands of cavalry at Zanxiruo's side.

These were his last reserves.

Standing on the city wall, Li Xuan saw all the arrangements of Zanxiruo clearly.

His gaze lifted and looked behind the Lion Elephant Banner, farther behind.

……

The Tibetan cavalry approached slowly but firmly, and it was not until about 300 paces that they suddenly turned over and dismounted, and rushed straight towards the Naqu River.

In an instant, on the city wall, thousands of longbows had been raised at the same time.

At the moment when the Tibetan soldiers stepped on the river, thousands of feather arrows on the city wall had already flown out.

"Poof", before the feather arrow landed, a miserable cry had already come from the river.

Immediately, the feather arrow fell, and the screams stopped.

A whole piece of feathered arrows was nailed directly to the ice, as well as to the corpses on the ice.

The corpse that fell on the ice instantly flowed out of endless blood.

The red blood was unusually conspicuous on the ice, but what was even more conspicuous was the cold splintering blade that had pierced the corpse's cheek.

The entire layer of ice, densely packed, was only a finger high of broken blades protruding from the ice.

These shattered blades were consumed by the Tang army during this time, as well as the Tubo soldiers captured in several previous wars, and even many of them were originally sunk under the water.

Now at this time, all of them were frozen on the ice by Li Xuan's faction.

Anyone who stepped on it would immediately slash through the soles of their feet,

Countless arrows rained down overhead......

Nowadays, almost every step forward comes at the cost of blood.

After receiving the reward, Zan Xiruo was speechless.

This king of Nanchang in the Tang Dynasty only seems to know how to play with these small means.

"Summons, move on." Zansiruo's cold voice sounded, and one of the guards immediately turned to give the order.

The Tubo generals around him had already become extremely serious.

They have all learned Li Xuan's small methods, which are dense, making it difficult for people to even take a step forward.

But Zan Xiruo's expression was still cold, as cold as his heart.

Countless Tibetan soldiers, under the forced military order, could only withstand the rain of arrows above their heads, the ice under their feet, and the broken blades, and continued to grit their teeth and advance.

Feathered arrows flew in the air, splintering blades sliced through leather boots on the ice, and screams and wails suddenly resounded.

But soon, the screaming and wailing stopped.

The river is so wide that when a person lies down, he can immediately occupy a large area.

Many people, either actively or passively, stepped directly on the corpse, held shields, and rushed across the Naqu River and washed onto the shore.

Li Xuan looked at this scene calmly, in just such a short time, nearly a thousand Tubo people had fallen.

The cannon fodder in the front row has completely died.

The cannon fodder who rushed up later cowered, and the distance between him and the people behind him was virtually shortened.

The corpses were covered with ice, and more people stepped on the corpses on the ice and rushed directly to the shore, but at this time, Li Xuan's methods had just begun.

With a "boom", a trap pit appeared directly, and the three Tubo soldiers who had just stepped on it immediately fell into it.

Under the gloomy sky, it was impossible to see clearly, and even the screams stopped in an instant.

"Puff puff puff", on a series of ground, countless dense pits were directly turned out.

At the same time, hundreds of people fell into the pit at the same time, and the wails rang out again.

……

"What a stupidity!" Yang Zhirou couldn't help but blurt out a sentence.

The generals around him turned their heads to look at him at the same time, their eyes calm and surprised.

"Dashuai." Yang Zhirou immediately bowed his hand to Li Xuan, and said apologetically: "The lower official lost his word." ”

Li Xuan didn't look back, just waved his hand indifferently, looking at the dense Tubo soldiers who were still moving forward below, he said calmly: "Zanxi If we are using these soldiers to find the flaws in the city wall, after all, even if we dig a pit, we are just digging a row, and after that, we should hurt the city wall." ”

Yang Zhirou immediately understood, these soldiers below were still just cannon fodder used to test Li Xuan's defensive arrangement.

The soldiers carrying the ladder in the back, and the people with knives and guns in the back, are the real main force.

"Strength and weakness, these changes, if you can't count yourself as the king, you can only spread them out in one go." Li Xuan saw the worries of these people behind this at a glance.

He could indeed concentrate his forces to attack a little, but he was worried that under Li Xuan's dense methods, not only would his siege be ineffective, but he would even lose his morale due to the constant casualties.

Therefore, he first spread out the soldiers in an all-round way, and then calmly looked for the flaws in the city wall.

Anyway, they are all dead people, and when there are more dead people at the beginning, no one cares about the damage to morale.

Li Xuan lowered his head and watched many people bypass the trap pit and rush forward.

At this time, they also noticed that there did not seem to be any feathered arrows falling overhead.

No, it would not be that there were no feather arrows falling, but that the feather arrows were still locked on the Naqu River, forming a network of intercepted death.

Every time the Tibetans attacked, they left behind hundreds of corpses.

Rush over and avoid the trap pit in front of you......

With a "buzz", countless crossbow arrows suddenly flew into the air, and then fell fiercely in front of the passage of the trap pit.

In an instant, hundreds of soldiers who had just speculated and rushed through the trap pit fell to the ground silently.

Everyone had several bolts stuck in them, or rather, none of them missed.

Yang Zhirou stood on the side, squinting at Li Xuan, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.

After following Li Xuan for several months, he knew that Li Xuan had fixed the angles of the archers, crossbow archers, and catapults first, and then adjusted the position of the traps outside.

Zan Xiruo didn't understand this until now, and he planted it directly, and the loss was countless casualties.

From a distance, it looks like he's taking the initiative to give people away,

But in fact, all his actions were calculated to death by Li Xuan, and then slaughtered in the most effective way with the most effort.

Slaughter......
