"Tell your men to stand down." Zhang Xingjin sneered proudly.

Tuoba Hui said a few words in Tubo, you look at me, I look at you, take three steps back.

Lai Li yelled at Zhang Xingjin.

Zhang Xingjin couldn't understand what he was saying, "I'm sorry." ”

"As long as you lay down your arms, half of the city's possessions will be yours." Tuoba Hui has not yet seen the reality clearly.

Zhang Xingjin said: "Do what I say, I can save your life." ”

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Don't do anything, take you back to Datang." Zhang Xingjin ordered his soldiers to move closer to him, with Tuoba Hui in hand, naturally no one dared to stop him along the way.

Just when Zhang Xingjin thought that victory was in his hands, the ground shook, the infantry cavalry of the brigade rushed in, and the four generals wearing Tibetan armor each stood in front of the headquarters, their eyes flashing with a dangerous light like a wolf.

Lee Seung-gyu explained the situation to them. A burly general stood up, stared at Zhang Xingjin, and said in Tang dialect: "Release the city lord and leave you with a whole corpse, otherwise you will wait until there are no bones." ”

Zhang Xingjin was stunned for a moment, this didn't look like he was here to negotiate, but like he was here to kill people.

Before he could speak, Tuoba Hui said angrily: "Tuwuqin, do you want to rebel? ”

Tu Wuqin replied with a cold smile, "The land of Helong is originally the territory of my Great Tubo, and you Tuyuhun people were just our military slaves back then. After speaking, he said something to the soldiers behind him in Tubo, and the soldiers raised their arms one after another.

"Tu Wuqin, you are just from a lower class in Tubo, why should you be the lord of the city?" A black-faced general on the left rebuked angrily.

"The Tuoba family is already a weakened tiger, and they can only be devoured by wolves, and there is no flesh and blood left, your Tuoba family is not good, so don't burden everyone to die together." A red-faced general to the south said.

Only the western general did not say a word, and there was no expression on his face.

These people look crooked and cracked jujubes one by one, and they all know Tang Yan.

Zhang Xingjin was dumbfounded, the book of war said that the thief captured the king first, and now the king has also been captured, why does the thief show no signs of giving in at all?

"Are you really the city lord?"

Tuoba Hui smiled wryly, "Now you can see it, it's useless to capture me, they just want me to die." ”

The quarrel continued.

"How did you become the city lord, these people are so unruly, you can't control it?" Zhang Xingjin looked disdainful, Datang was a pot of porridge, and this Helong was even more orderly.

Tuoba Hui's face was ugly and said: "Now we are grasshoppers on a rope, how about we cooperate?" ”

Zhang Xingjin suddenly became interested, "How to cooperate?" ”

"Your men plus mine are about seven hundred, enough to resist them for a while, and my men and horses will come north of the city."

Zhang Xingjin thought for a while, let go of the hand that was pinching his neck, and put down the scimitar, "How many people are there in the north of the city?" ”

"Five thousand people and horses of the tribe are enough to kill them all!" Tuoba Hui's words were filled with anger.

Zhang Xingjin looked at the iron bucket-like enemies around him, no less than four thousand people, at least half of the cavalry, they didn't need to charge, they only needed to push over from all sides, they could trample themselves and Tuoba Hui to death, "It's too late, when your people arrive, they will only be more united and go all out to deal with us, and we will die without a place to bury." ”

The two were originally enemies of life and death, but now they have become brothers and sisters in the same boat.

The more dangerous it is, the calmer Zhang Xingjin is.

He remembered that in the earliest days, His Majesty had told them the story of the thirty-six people of Ban Dingyuan who set the Western Regions.

A huge sense of mission made his blood boil.

"It's better to give it a go than to die." Tuoba Hui was fierce.

Zhang Xingjin said: "Your subordinates don't seem to be in harmony, is there really no one who is loyal to you?" ”

"Allegiance? The people of Helong are only loyal to the powerful, and once they are weak, there are no bones left that will be eaten. Tuoba Hui took off his top hat and revealed his bald hair.

"I have a proposal, you abdicate for the time being and give up the position of city lord to the one named Tu Wuqin." Zhang Xingjin's eyes flashed.

"No! Back then, for the sake of Hezhou, even his son died in battle, how can you say let it? Tuwuqin is just a cheap slave, with a thousand Tibetan soldiers under his command, why should he control the whole city? ”

"Why are you so stubborn, it is precisely because Tu Wuqin's strength is not strong enough that others will not be convinced, they will kill each other themselves, don't we have a chance?" Zhang Xingjin is good at persuasion.

Tuoba Hui's face was cloudy, and finally let out a long sigh, "Okay." ”

Immediately he said something out loud in the Tibetan dialect.

The audience was silent for a moment, and then several generals quarreled more fiercely.

But this time it's a Tibetan dialect.

The atmosphere became more and more tense, and the scimitars of the four generals all turned around.

Seeing that a fight was imminent, Li Chenggui, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said something loudly, and the emotions of several generals gradually calmed down.

Li Chenggui looked at Zhang Xingjin with a sneer.

Tuoba Hui yelled at Li Chenggui, "Li Chenggui promoted you from slave to military advisor in vain, and that's how you treated me?" How can you be a military advisor without me? ”

Li Chenggui said: "Anyone in Hezhou City can be the city lord, but only I can be a military advisor, Tuoba City Lord, you are mediocre and incompetent, greedy for pleasure, Hezhou Town has been getting more and more tired in your hands for ten years, if you can't do it, you will change to someone else." "What nonsense, kill Tuoba Hui, and a few of us will take turns to be the city lord!" Tuwuqin yelled.

The surrounding soldiers advanced with their swords, and the cavalry began to squeeze towards them.

And Tuoba Hui's pro-soldiers on the periphery directly threw away the scimitar and ran to the opposite side.

Zhang Xingjin almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, it seems that this Tuoba Hui is really unpopular, even his own soldiers can run.

Tuoba Hui's face was like ashes, and he begged Zhang Xingjin in turn, "Help me, as long as you can stop them, my army will come, and the chickens and dogs will not be left, and when the time comes, I will recognize you as a righteous son, and Hezhou City will be our father and son in the future." ”

Zhang Xingjin's old blood poured into his throat, and it was not easy to suppress it, why are there people everywhere who want to be their father?

Does he look like a son?

Regardless of whether they are Tuoba Hui's righteous sons or not, the two are in fact grasshoppers on a rope.

The surrounding cavalry squeezed over, Zhang Xingjin immediately made a decision, let Murong Chang look at Tuoba Hui, he himself took the lead, holding a scimitar, did not retreat, but advanced, and rushed towards the red-faced general in the south, and the three hundred soldiers behind him also rushed with him.

Now the plan can only be won by chaos.

Without armor, the body is more flexible, and staying where you are is killing yourself.

Fortunately, the cavalry was full of scimitars, all high-headed horses, without speed, and not much more powerful than the infantry.

With a charge, the legs of the horses in the front row were cut off one after another, and the cavalry was pressed under the horses.

The red-faced general was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect such a heavy siege, Zhang Xingjin was so brave, he didn't defend the counterattack, three hundred soldiers, everyone went down the mountain like a tiger, roaring and rushing towards him.

Hezhou City speaks with strength, and any loss of strength will lose the right to speak in the next round of competition for the city lord.

The red-faced general obviously knew this, and he didn't want to think about it, so he gave up the gap.

In fact, he may not be able to block it if he wants to, although Helong is still in turmoil, but they are all competing for population, and there are very few real bloody battles, often the two sides show their knives, symbolically fight, seeing that the situation is not right, they surrender directly, and the victor will also generously accept the weak side, after all, they are all slaves and soldiers.

Unlike the Great War of Middle-earth, where the sword saw blood, the hand of death was killed, human flesh was eaten, and the entire clan of the defeated was wiped out.

The rules of the game are different, resulting in different perceptions of the cruelty of war on both sides.

In fact, in the late Tang Dynasty, Tubo was even weaker than the Tang Dynasty, and its combat power plummeted. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty and the Middle Tang Dynasty, Tubo could still fight back and forth with the Tang Dynasty, and Dafeichuan destroyed 200,000 Tang troops in the first battle.

But in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, Shi Jingfeng had 2,500 Shuofang cavalry and a month's worth of grain and grass to defeat the 160,000 Tubo army.

In the third year of Huichang, the most powerful person on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was afraid of heat, and the 200,000-strong army attacked the 40,000-strong man and woman in Shanzhou, but he was defeated.

On the fear of heat once took refuge in the Tang Dynasty, seeking to be the envoy of the Hewei Festival, Tang Xuanzong did not allow it, and finally was killed by the 500 cavalry of Tuoba Huaiguang by the Shang maid and maid, and the head was sent to Chang'an.

Overnight, more than 100 forces of all sizes sprang up on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the land of the river, killing each other and attacking each other, and the plateau has been weakened ever since.

After Zhang Xingjin easily broke through the encirclement, he rushed towards the south gate.

Several generals are still shouting in the Tibetan language.

Zhang Xingjin listened to the chaos behind him, was full of spirits, and laughed: "The people of Fan are just like this, the Tang Dynasty is mighty!" “

"The Tang Dynasty is mighty!" Three hundred shouts resounded through the wind and snow.

"Are you really Tang Jun?" Tuoba Hui couldn't believe it, even his father Tuoba Huaiguang, when the river was in full swing, did not dare to be disrespectful to the Tang Dynasty, and received the official position of canonization from the Tang Dynasty.

Zhang Xingjin glanced back at him meaningfully.

The weather was cold, and the south gate city wall could not imagine that the enemy would come from the city, Zhang Xingjin pushed Tuoba Hui forward, Tuoba Hui actively cooperated, and the defenders got out of the way, and the Tang army rushed up, quickly blocking the stairs, and at the same time on the city wall, arranging barricades to prevent the enemy from attacking from several other city walls.

Zhang Xingjin had an idea, and ordered the soldiers to splash the water stored in the city tower on the stairs and city walls.

In less than a moment, the water was frozen.

After waiting for half an hour, Tuwuqin was late to lead the rebels, but when he saw the posture on the city wall, his face sank.

It was slowly getting dark, and none of the rebels made the first move.

Zhang Xingjin said strangely: "Don't you have an army of 5,000?" For so long, why didn't any of them come? “

Tuoba Hui's face was as cold as the low sky.

Not speaking is the best answer, this person is really a waste, he can't even control his own people, and he doesn't know how he got mixed up in Hezhou for more than ten years, and he still wants to accept himself as a righteous son, the more Zhang Xingjin thinks about it, the more angry he becomes.

In this case, even if he does not come, I am afraid that in less than two years, this person will die in the rebellion of his subordinates.

But even if Tuoba Hui is a puddle of mud, Zhang Xingjin has to hold it.

Lee Seung-gyu's voice sounded again.

Tu Wuqin gave an order, and his subordinates rushed up with a knife in one hand and a thatch in the other.

There was nothing else on the city tower, but there were a lot of stones and trees to defend the city, and they were thrown down directly, and the enemy suffered heavy losses and retreated one after another.

Tu Wuqin scolded.

He personally led his own soldiers to rush up with a sword and shield, and on the city wall, there were also enemies attacking from the east and west walls.

The battle has finally come to the point of death.

With the addition of three hundred Tang troops and four hundred defenders of the city walls, the inferiority of the strength was gradually revealed.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, the 400 defenders had already defected or fled.

Zhang Xingjin shouted: "Ignite the city tower!" “

The order was faithfully carried out.

The tragic battle made Tuoba Hui tremble, "If you surrender, forget it, Tu Wuqin will not be killed." “

Murong Chang's eyes also dodged.

"Stupid!" Zhang Xingjin roared.

The castle tower was on fire, rising in the cold wind, and the stairs were fiercely fighting, and the enemies on the castle tower were also attacking from the east and west.

At the moment of crisis, there was a sudden chaos on the eastern city wall, and I saw a Tibetan general leading his troops to kill and disperse the enemy army, shouting loudly: "Badu, Badu!" “

Listening to this voice, he knew that it was Lai Li, Zhang Xingjin laughed, "Heaven will never stop me, Lai Li's good brother!" “

also asked Murong Chang to translate these words.

"Benda, Benda!" Lai Li replied loudly.

There is a force on the city wall to help, Zhang Xingjin went all out to deal with the Tu Wuqin on the stairs, this guy is carrying a shield, surrounded by personal soldiers, like a slowly crawling turtle, people have nowhere to start.

"Wood and stones, smash me!"

Under the raindrop-like attack of wood and stone, Tu Wuqin couldn't bear it, and there were fewer and fewer guards around him.

When this guy saw that the situation was not right, he stepped back.

The failure of this attack made the generals present look at each other.

Of course, it's not that they really can't beat it, more than 4,000 people, even if they crush these 300 people to death, but there is the seat of the city lord hanging above their heads, and no one is willing to die.
