Datang's Mo swordsmen are all carefully selected elites.

First of all, you have to be tall and burly, and at the same time, you have to be a strong man.

Only in this way can you afford to wear a full set of heavy armor and lift a sword.

Then there is the courage to move forward.

The heavy armor soldier of the Mo Dao Hand, because of the limited ability to move, can only move forward and cannot retreat.

No matter what kind of opponent you face, you must keep moving forward with the courage to die and live until you fall.

Even in the martial Datang, there are not many qualified people who can be selected.

The two thousand Mo swordsmen led by Li Siye at this time were already the largest among the armies of the Tang Dynasty at this time.

They surged up like a tidal wave, heading straight to the head of Stone Castle City.

The defenders used all defensive means to counterattack like crazy, especially the several eight-bull crossbows that were lost when the Tang Dynasty lost Shibao City before, which became a terrible weapon of destruction.

The thick crossbow bolts roared and pierced directly through the Tang Army armor, followed by heart-rending screams.

However, the battlefield is the most cruel place, and at this time, the brothers in the back will not hesitate to push the brothers who are pierced by the crossbow arrows and continue to step forward.

Facing the thunder stone rolling wood thrown over, Li Siye, who was in front of the assault, waved the Mo knife in his hand with red eyes and slashed it away one after another.

An eight-bull crossbow at the head of the city pointed at Li Siye, and with a 'boom' sound, the thick crossbow roared.

Li Siye did not have the slightest fear, he raised the Mo knife in his hand with red eyes.

Of course, this is more of a comfort in the heart, after all, the iron armor on the body can't carry the Eight Bull Crossbow.

'Poof! ’

After a muffled sound, one of Li Siye's side Mo knife hand was shot through directly!

Li Siye didn't even turn his head to take a look, he still continued to move forward with the Mo knife in his hand.

Many wounded soldiers of the Tang Army gathered under the city wall at this time, and they leaned closely against the city wall and built a tower with their bodies.

"General!"

Seeing Li Siye rushing up, some wounded soldiers lay on their companions and shouted at Li Siye, "Kill the enemy!! ”

The red-eyed Li Siye stepped on the back of the wounded soldier, and the heavy pressure instantly spurted blood from the wound stepped on by the wounded soldier.

Stepping on the body of his companion, Li Siye finally jumped to the head of Stone Castle City.

In front of his eyes, it was an eight-bull crossbow that was busy winding.

Several Tubo soldiers who were operating the Eight Bull Crossbow watched in horror as Li Siye strode in front of him, raised the Mo knife in his hand, and suddenly fell with a loud shout.

The sharp Mo knife easily cut the Tubo soldiers in front of him in two!

The Mo knife soldiers who rushed to the city after Li Siye waved the Mo knife in their hands one after another.

In an instant, the screams on the top of Stone Castle City were endless.

Just like the invincible eight-bull crossbow, in the face of the snowy Mo knife, the Tubo soldiers are all the same regardless of whether they are armoured, whether they are macho men, whether they raise their weapons to block, etc., etc.

Cut it in two!

As the Tang army ascended to the top of the city, the Tibetan soldiers defending the city quickly launched a counterattack.

The tide of Tibetan soldiers poured into the city and started a bloody battle with the Tang Army's Mo Sword Team.

In terms of numbers, it was occupied by Tibetan soldiers, and there was little difference in courage and morale.

But in terms of equipment, the two sides are worlds apart.

The Tibetans are located on the plateau, and the oxygen content on the plateau is scarce, and it is impossible to boil boiling water, let alone make iron.

Therefore, the equipment of the Tibetan people is mainly leather armor, and most of the weapons in their hands are knives, guns and even big bones.

These simple weapons smashed into the inner silk lining, and then set chain mail, the outermost was heavy armor such as Mingguang armor, and the Mo sword soldiers wearing three layers of armor were almost useless.

And every time the Tang Army's Mo sword soldiers wielded the Mo knife, they would take away one or even two or three Tubo soldiers.

Looking down from above, it looks like the tide is constantly crashing against the reef.

The tide came up in waves, and although the momentum was monstrous, the result was all smashed on the reef.

Li Siye, who was gradually slipping under his feet, kicked the stump at his feet, and leaned closely with the brothers around him, constantly waving the Mo knife and walking forward step by step.

They desperately expanded outward, opening up space for the Tang army that was constantly surging up behind them.

More and more Tang troops poured into the city, and the defenders were forced to retreat, and the stumps and broken arms gradually accumulated, and even stacked to Li Siye's thighs.

Li Siye, who felt that he was gradually exhausted, took a heavy breath, and suddenly burst out with strength and brandished the Mo knife, swinging it fiercely in front of him, directly cutting off the three Tubo soldiers in front of him.

The Mo knife, which had been used for a long time, also broke.

Li Siye exerted his last strength, suddenly opened his hands and rushed forward, hugging the two Tubo soldiers and rushing directly into the city from the city.

Seeing this scene, the surrounding Tang troops rushed up one after another, killing the Tubo soldiers or jumping off the city with the Tubo soldiers in their arms like Li Siye.

The bravery of the Tang army frightened the defenders, and their steps were no longer as firm as before.

The follow-up Tang army quickly rushed up and rushed the defenders off the city wall in one fell swoop.

A large number of Tang troops poured into the city like a tide and engaged in a fierce battle with the defenders.

The city wall facing the city is not high, and Li Siye, who pounced on people, shook his head and sat on the ground against the city wall panting.

After the fierce battle, he no longer had the strength to fight again, and even standing up became a luxury.

Fortunately, the Tang army has already broken into the city, and the next victory must belong to the Tang army.

The defenders of Stone Castle put up their last standing, and there were fierce battles throughout the city.

Countless corpses were piled on top of each other, leaving people with little place to stay.

The air is filled with a pungent smell that makes people feel sick.

In the face of the surprise attack of the Tang army's armor soldiers, the defenders collapsed unsurprisingly.

The defenders, who were still alive, rushed desperately out of the city to try to escape.

However, how could the Tang Army, who had already killed their anger, let them go easily.

A large number of Tang troops chased after them like a tide, chasing them all the way for dozens of miles.

When it was getting late, the Tang soldiers who were chasing and killing came back happily.

Not only did they achieve abundant results and win countless victories, but more importantly, they captured the defender of Tibet, the general of the garrison in Shibao City, Iron Blade Sinoluo, alive!

Li Siye, who had regained his strength, was surprised to find the person who captured the iron blade Xi Noluo alive.

"Who are you?"

Looking at the middle-aged man in front of him, Li Siye asked curiously, "So martial arts, why have I never heard of you?" ”

"Back to the general."

The man saluted respectfully and said, "The last general is a tooth general under the command of Hexi Jiedu, and his name is Ge Shuhan." ”

Seven days later, Li Yunze personally commanded the Chinese army, transporting a large amount of baggage to Shibao City.

In the past few days, Stone Castle City has been cleaned up, but the dried blood stains everywhere and the smell that still wafts in the air can only be blown away by time.

"More than 7,000 Tibetan defenders were killed, and 400 people under the Iron Blade were captured."

"Huh?"

Li Yunze, who was sitting on the maza, interrupted Li Siye's report, "Are there really prisoners?" ”

Li Siye was stunned, not too understanding what the emperor meant.

Could it be that he can't speak clearly? Didn't you say that, the four hundred people below the Iron Blade were captured.

In confusion, his brother Shuhan stepped forward and saluted, and reported to the next level: "Your Majesty, there were no prisoners in this battle, and the eight thousand defenders under the Tubo garrison Iron Blade Xinuoluo were gone." Tubo is brutal, and if I break the Tang City, I will definitely slaughter the city and leave no chickens and dogs. The soldiers were indignant and did not leave their hands. ”

Li Yunze nodded, feeling that this person had a clear idea, so he casually asked, "Who are you?" ”

At this time, Li Siye, who finally reacted, hurriedly introduced, "Your Majesty, this person is Ge Shuhan, a general under the command of Hexi Jiedu, and when the minister selected the elite, he came with the army to conquer Shibao City and chase dozens of miles. Capture the Iron Blade Siloro."

The past few days of getting along have made Li Siye have a very good impression of Ge Shuhan, a middle-aged uncle, and he also recommended it in front of the emperor at this time.

"Goshuhan."

Li Yunze nodded slowly, with a deep meaning in his eyes.

Ge Shuhan is a late bloomer in the true sense, he only began to join the army when he was forty years old, and fought all the way to Tongguan against An Lushan.

Ge Shuhan in the history books has a reputation that is not as good as Gao Xianzhi and Feng Changqing, because he chose to surrender after being defeated and captured, and he also took the initiative to help write a letter of surrender, but unfortunately no one agreed.

This is a very fatal blow to reputation.

And even if he surrendered, he could not save his life, and he was executed the following year.

The Now Word

"Hahahaha~~~"

Li Yunze laughed and got up, stepped forward to Ge Shuhan, held his shoulder, and said with a smile: "It turns out that you are Ge Shuhan, when I was in Longyou, Hexi, I heard your story, especially the poem that praised you, and I was even more impressed." When I saw it today, it was really my talent as a pillar of the Tang Dynasty. ”

For Li Yunze, he even dared to use traitors like Yang Guozhong, Li Linfu, and Bian Lingcheng who left their names in history books, so what is just Brother Shuhan?

A good minister is a skill, and even a traitor can use it well, that is, a cow beep.

At this time, Li Bai, a bachelor of Hanlin who came with the army and was bored fishing, came to the spirit, and immediately said, "Your Majesty, dare to ask what kind of poetry is it?" ”

Li Yunze smiled slightly, looked at Ge Shuhan, who looked a little surprised and excited in front of him, and said slowly.

'The Big Dipper is high, and Geshu carries a knife at night. ’

So far, I have peeped at the herding horses, and I dare not pass Lintao. ’

As soon as these words came out, Ge Shuhan's tears fell.

The emperor personally wrote a poem to praise him, and his life is worth it!

Patting Ge Shuhan on the shoulder, Li Yunze turned to face the many generals and soldiers in Shibao City, and announced loudly, "The soldiers of all armies fought bloody battles to revitalize the military army for the restoration of the Tang Dynasty!" This is a glorious victory, and it will go down in history."

After a routine opening remark, the next step was the highlight that the soldiers were looking forward to.

Li Siye first ascended to capture the city, and the credit belonged to the first, and he was awarded the title of Duke of Guo. Ge Shuhan captured and beheaded the enemy chieftain, the second in merit, the general of Jin Zhongwu, and the title of Xi Pingbo."

The soldiers who participated in the war were rewarded, and Li Yunze would never make a mistake on this point.

Because he knows very well that in the era of cold weapons with a low level of education, it is useless to say any kind of big truth.

The greatest motivation for soldiers to fight to the death is to get ahead and be rewarded with military achievements.

The rewards and punishments are just, and the natural military heart can be used.

The reward and punishment are unfair, so wait for the end.

After a reward, everyone who participated in the war was naturally happy.

That night, wine and meat were given, and laughter and laughter in the army were endless.

When Li Yunze was entertaining the generals for a banquet, there was a report from Tanma Fei, saying that the Tubo Mangbu Branch near the West Sea had come to help, and it was less than 100 miles away from Shibao City at this time.

Facing the fiery gaze of the generals, Li Yunze simply named Ge Shuhan.

"Aiqing is willing to pacify this enemy for me?"

Ge Shuhan, whose eyes were red, immediately stood up and saluted.

"Your Majesty, the minister must offer the head of the Mangbu branch in front of the emperor!"
