With a "buzz", the crossbow arrows flew up in pieces and fell directly on the thousands of Tibetan soldiers outside the city, bringing up blood all over the sky.

More people recklessly attacked, even if the war horse under them fell into the pit, they also got up again and continued to attack.

Although there was a moat in the western city, there were not many remnants on the river, the traps were not so dense, and there was no water on the city walls.

Under the frantic onslaught of the Tubo people, they finally climbed to the top, but at this time, the Tang soldiers on the city wall retreated strangely.

The Tubo people were stunned for a moment, and without thinking about it, they killed the retreating Tang soldiers, but under the lances and crossbows, although they forced the Tang soldiers to retreat even more, there were not many real casualties.

But fortunately, they frantically rushed to the bottom of the steps, and then rushed straight down without thinking.

Rushed into the city of Naqu.

A few people noticed the strangeness and stopped on the wall, but many more rushed down at this time.

Some of them continued to rush forward, some of them turned around and opened the city gates, and then at this moment, they were stunned.

Under the hole of the city gate in front of him, the dense stone strips have completely blocked the city gate.

"Boom", the sound exploded.

A rolling stone the size of a millstone smashed directly into it from five hundred paces away, and then exploded in the middle of the crowd.

Immediately, a bloody sludge appeared on the ground.

The Tibetan soldiers who entered the city were stunned.

At this moment, more rolling stones flew up from mid-air, far and near, still covering the blow.

Almost in just one round, the Tubo soldiers in the city have been completely crushed.

Only one person survived, and in a panic, he rushed forward to kill with great nervousness, and at this time, a one-zhang long crossbow arrow flew directly from mid-air, and finally stabbed into the body of the Tubo soldier, nailing him to the ground......

The Tibetan soldiers at the head of the city saw more clearly, in the depths of the entire long street, more than a dozen catapults lined up in front and behind, and dozens of Fuyuan ballistae in front, and in the rear, there were hundreds of cavalry ready to attack.

The entire Xicheng is ready for full defense,

Countless crossbow arrows came from behind the walls on both sides, and it was difficult for the Tibetans to gain a foothold in the city walls.

Or to be precise, there was an opening in the city for them to kill in, and then slaughter in an orderly manner.

This kind of environment is even more convenient than standing at the head of the city and slaughtering.

Stubble after stubble, countless corpses fell to the ground.

The West City, the North City, the East City, all of them.

And the Tubo people piled up the most, except for the front, is the west city, but unfortunately, the city gate was completely blocked, and the cavalry outside the city could not enter, and they would always be lambs to be slaughtered.

……

The sky was dark, and unconsciously, it was already dusk, and Zan Xiruo, who had been desperately attacking for a day, finally couldn't help but suffer casualties and withdraw his troops.

Inside and outside the city wall, there were countless corpses of Tibetan soldiers.

What the city can do is to throw the corpses inside the city down, and then let them merge with the outside world in the cold temperature.

Li Xuan stood in the black daku, looked at the somewhat shaking lion elephant flag, couldn't help but shake his head, and said, "After today's battle, I'm afraid that Zanxiruo will never have a chance to attack the city again." ”

At this time, a rush of footsteps rushed up from the city, and Li Xuan looked at it in surprise.

A Qianniu guard had already gone to the city, and said in a hurried tone: "Marshal, the right guard is urgent, outside the strength of the Tubo army, tens of thousands of Tu cavalry have been found. ”

Li Xuan was slightly stunned, and subconsciously asked, "Where did Zan Xiruo come from...... Yes, it was transferred from behind, and it is even very likely that it was the 15,000 cavalry sent by the Qinling to reinforce Luo Jie earlier. ”

The expressions of everyone around him suddenly turned grim, and Yang Zhirou couldn't help but gasp: "Dashuai, it's so dangerous!" ”

The others also reacted immediately, and their eyes couldn't help but stare at each other.

Sometime before, under the banner of Zanxiruo's white lion elephant, there were only 5,000 cavalry left, if Li Xuan really went out of the city to raid Zanxiruo, then it was very likely that he would be flanked by his 5,000 cavalry and the hidden 10,000 cavalry, and when the time came......

"Good fellow, this is the life of this king!" Li Xuan couldn't help but laugh angrily.

He was now calculating, and he had thoroughly seen through Zan Xiruo's true calculations.

His focus was never on Naqu, because he knew that even if he transferred the hidden 10,000 cavalry into the battlefield, he might not be able to break through Li Xuan's city.

Even once he reveals his flaws, it is very likely that he will be killed directly by Li Xuan.

You must know that although Li Xuan is now mainly defending the city, most of his subordinates are cavalry, and it is common to break three thousand with one thousand, and it is not difficult to find the right opportunity to break ten thousand with one thousand.

If he was calculating Li Xuan's luck, once he dispatched, he would immediately fall into the siege of 15,000 Tibetan elites.

Li Xuan raised his head suddenly and said in a cold voice: "That is to say, now under the command of Zanxiruo, there are less than 30,000 people left who can fight. ”

The people present couldn't help but feel a beat in their hearts, but if you calculate carefully, at least tens of thousands of people died under the city today, but many more escaped with injuries.

Yang Zhirou immediately stood up and said with an excited expression: "Under Zan Xiruo's command, there were originally 44,000 people, more than 20,000 dead and wounded, 10,000 cavalry joined, and some were killed and wounded in Cuona Lake, but now there are less than 30,000 left who can fight, but these 30,000 are all worthy of battle." ”

"If our army is fully mobilized, the number will not be below this." Li Xuan's face was cold, and he spoke directly: "Order, Qiu Zhenmu's two thousand right guard cavalry harassed overnight; ordered the right leading army guard to send out 3,000 cavalry overnight, and Li Duozuo personally led the troops, and burned the grain road of Zan Xiruo after going around; Amdo right guard, out of 3,000 cavalry; Eight thousand soldiers in the city, two thousand cavalry of the right guard, and three thousand cavalry of the left guard, prepared overnight, and early tomorrow morning, they raided the camp of Zansiruo. ”

"Whoa!" Everyone in the city bowed their hands at the same time, their expressions solemn.

"It's all gone." Li Xuan waved his hand, and then walked directly towards the governor's mansion.

……

In the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, Li Xuan sat behind the big case in the middle, looking at the map in front of him, and Xiao Siye was standing on the side.

Today, Xiao Siye has been staying in the governor's mansion, listening to Li Xuan's orders, and supporting all parties at any time, but unfortunately Zan Xiruo has never taken out the last hole card.

In other words, his last hole card is waiting for Li Xuan to take the bait.

"Zanxiruo camped thirty miles away, in order to prevent our surprise attack, and his military rations are hoarded in Sangdan, north of Dangxiong, Li Duozuo doesn't need to do much tonight, as long as he makes the illusion that Sangdan has been attacked by a surprise attack, and forces Zanxiruo to transfer 5,000 troops and return, then we will do things easily." Li Xuan's eyes flashed with all kinds of calculations.

Xiao Siye arched his hand and said in a low voice: "Dashuai, if you are a veteran, you will not be unprepared for our surprise attack." ”

Li Xuan smiled, shook his head, and said, "This point will be clear to the county prince tomorrow." ”

"Whoa!" Xiao Siye stood up and arched his hand and said, "So the end will go down and prepare." ”

"Good!" Li Xuan nodded, then watched Xiao Siye leave, and then his face calmed down.

Thinking of Yang Zhirou's appearance when he persuaded him to go out of the city today, and his fear of knowing that there were 10,000 ambush soldiers, Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head.

This time, he should have known that the soldiers were in danger.

In the future, there will be no more nonsense in front of the army.

There are also 10,000 ambush soldiers in Zan Xiruo, Yang Zhirou underestimated Li Xuan too much, he really thought that Li Xuan didn't know where these 10,000 ambush soldiers were.

There are also Qiu Zhenmu, Li Duozuo, and Shi Xuan, Li Xuan has already made instructions in advance and is ready to attack at any time.

As for the day, the raid on Zanshiro's camp was ......

Li Xuan smiled lightly.

I'm afraid that Zanxiruo wouldn't have thought that everything he had today was in Li Xuan's calculations.

Especially after a day of bloody fighting, Li Xuan and Zanxiruo have been infinitely close to equilibrium in terms of combat power.

However, with the old spicy of Zanxiruo, Qiu Zhenmu is wandering in the northwest today, and I am afraid it is enough to arouse his vigilance.

Tell him that the military ratio between the two sides has changed.

World War I, one day.

It's completely changed.

Before today, the Tubo army was injured by new soldiers in all aspects, but after today, if the Tubo army is injured again, it will be the private soldiers of the Gar family.

The difference between this is clearer than anyone else's.

This is Li Xuan's chance.

……

Early in the morning, the north gate of Naqu.

The tightly walled stone gate was thoroughly cleaned after a night, and the gate was opened in an instant.

The next moment, Li Xuan, who was dressed in black clothes and black armor, had already rushed out on horseback, and five thousand black-armored cavalry followed.

Outside the city walls on both sides, there were corpses of dead Tibetan soldiers everywhere, and after a night, they had completely frozen to death.

The horses' hooves made countless noises, and the five thousand cavalry quickly headed for thirty miles to the south.

At the same time, in the northwest of Naqu, Shi Jian and Qiu Zhenmu had converged.

Two thousand right guards and three thousand right guards cavalry had already rounded the west at the same time, raiding the camp of Zanshiruo from the flank.

After a few cold days, the sun was shining.

The cold was gradually dispelled, the horse's hooves roared, and the rats and snakes that hibernated on the earth were completely awakened at this time.

A thick smoke suddenly appeared in the southeast Sangdan direction, and it was Li Duozuo's success.

Li Xuan's expression was suddenly excited, and he flicked the horse rope and quickly headed towards the Tubo camp in the south.

However, at the moment of approaching the Tubo camp, the 5,000 cavalry had quickly deflected to the left, directly bypassing the camp and heading in the direction of Sangdan.

At this time, more soldiers clearly saw that the Tibetan camp was empty.

The military flag swayed, and two thousand right guards and three thousand right guards quickly converged.

10,000 cavalry, with Li Xuan, rushed towards Sangdan, who was more than 100 miles away.

10,000 cavalry, even if Zan Xiru came with 30,000 cavalry, Li Xuan would dare to fight hard.

Because he was sure that he couldn't afford to gamble now.

Li Xuan's eyes were staring at the front, and the cold wind blew like a steel knife.

High in the sky overhead, the goshawk flew high, and everything within a radius of ten miles was under its watch.

Li Xuan is really eager to fight with Zan Xiruo now.

With his current mentality of suffering from gains and losses, Li Xuan will seize countless opportunities.

Before March, Li Xuanchu went to Naqu and had an unstable foothold, but now, in the entire counties near Naqu, everything is on the right track.

They even recruited young people from among the people as county soldiers to help guard the city walls.

In this way, Li Xuan's troops can be mobilized greatly increased.

The limits of his tolerance for casualties are also rising.

Now that Zan Xiruo's mentality is unstable, he has revealed a flaw, allowing Li Xuan to seize the opportunity, and he can reduce casualties even more.

The war horse galloped wildly, and a hundred miles passed in a blink of an eye.

Between the mountains and fields ahead, a group of blue-clothed and black-armored Tang cavalry were wantonly attacking and plundering hundreds of Tibetan foot soldiers, and the corpses were already lying on the ground.

The sound of horses' hooves roared in the rear, and they subconsciously stepped up the killing.

By the time the black Daxu arrived, there were no more Tubo soldiers standing on the ground.

"What's going on?" Li Xuan's war horse stopped, 10,000 cavalry stopped at the same time, Li Duozuo came from a distance, and arched his hand at Li Xuan: "Marshal, we are chasing Zan Xiruo's rear army, this is the dead soldier they left behind." ”

"Dead man." Li Xuan glanced at it, then stopped pursuing it, looked at Li Duozuo and said, "How is the military ration?" ”

"According to the order of the marshal, it has all been burned out." Li Duozuo suddenly cheered up.

"In this way, they will no longer have a foothold in the north, and they will be able to settle down this winter." After Li Xuan finished speaking, many generals present breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"Someone." Li Xuan looked to the side.

Zhou Qian immediately gave up: "Here!" ”

Li Xuan took out a letter from his bosom and sneered: "Find someone and send this letter to Luo ...... In the hands of the Queen Mother. ”

"Whoa!"

The cold is not good for three days of taking medicine, it should be a flu or yang, the state is not very good, there are some wrong places for everyone to forgive (helpless, sorry), in addition, I hope you can pay more attention, there are really a lot of colds recently, especially just returned from the field, friends, colleagues, I wish all friends good health.
