Seeing that Shi Jin had the upper hand, the soldiers of the Yanyun Army shouted one after another, the sound shook the sky, and their morale was like a rainbow; The soldiers of the Tubo army couldn't help but be a little anxious, and they also shouted, but the taste was completely different from that of Yan Yunjun, as if they were urging Sangkun.

Sang Kun was annoyed and angry, screamed, and swung his knife to attack Shi Jin, sword by knife, tiger and tiger, cold light and snow, and the power was very amazing; Chen Jie waved his spear to block, blocking every knife attacked by the opponent, the guns and knives intersected, and the sound of ping-pong was dense and piercing.

The two sides fought for more than ten rounds without a victory, and the shouts of the soldiers on both sides shook the earth like a wave, and everyone's blood was boiling. The two fought for more than ten rounds, Sang Kun had already revealed a sign of cowardice, and after a few more rounds, Shi Jin attacked sharply, Sang Kun was in a hurry, the big knife almost got out of his hand, he was frightened in his heart, slowly turned the horse's head and fled, Chen Jie was killing Xing's head, and immediately rode his horse to catch up.

When Tianyou saw him on the city wall, he cried out, "Oh, you have to suffer!" Hurry up and mingle! At this moment, the horn sounded loudly in the Tubo army, and nearly 10,000 Tubo war cavalry howled and rushed out, and it turned out that the Tubo general Zanbu saw that Sangkun was in danger, so he ordered the cavalry to charge and rescue Sangkun. Jingle jingle ......, and the sound of the golden bell of the city wall rang loudly.

Chen Jiele turned his horse's head and rode his horse towards the city gate, and when the Tubo cavalry saw this, they immediately chased down. Chen Jie rode a horse and galloped to the city gate, the city gate immediately opened a crack, Chen Jie rushed in, and the city gate was immediately closed. The Tubo army rushed to the city gate, could not enter, crowded into a group, the Yanyun army on the city wall fired ten thousand arrows together, and when they boarded, they saw the Tubo cavalry below turning over on their backs. The Tibetan cavalry was greatly frightened, turned around and ran back, quickly out of the range of the bow and crossbow, but had already sent away hundreds of people.

Zangbu was so furious that he ordered a large army to attack the city, and the Tibetan army launched an attack on the city of Xizhou like a tide. Arrows in the sky were like flying locusts, countless rushing vehicles on the ground rushed to the city gate and city wall, countless cloud ladders leaned against the wall, and the ant-like Tubo army continued to surge towards the city wall, but kept falling down; Yan Yunjun kept releasing arrows, and the locust-like arrows caused ripples in the tide of the Tubo army, and the rolling stones and trees rumbled down the city wall, smashed on the people, and the flesh and blood flew sideways, and smashed on the ladder and broke violently.

The Tibetan army attacked for a whole day, but did not make any progress, but suffered heavy losses, and the corpses under the city walls were piled up like a mountain, and the remains of countless siege equipment were scattered. Seeing that the sky was about to darken, Zambuta had no choice but to order the troops to be collected and returned to the camp. In the big tent, Zanbu was very angry, "Damn! Damn it! After a whole day of attacking, there was no progress, but thousands of people died! "All the generals are a little depressed, today's battle, everyone used their strength to eat, but they couldn't attack, let alone attack, the opponent's defense line didn't seem to even be able to tear the slightest gap!

Duo Sang frowned and said: "Yan Yunjun is holding on to Xizhou, although this Xizhou is not a Xiongguan moat, but it is also a city with strong walls, I am afraid it will be difficult to attack it by hard attack, I have to find another way!" The Han people have a saying that 'it is better to outwit than to attack hard'! ”

Huck said angrily, "It's easy to say! How to outwit? Duo Sang pondered: "We didn't gain anything from today's battle, and Yan Yunjun is afraid that he will get carried away." As soon as people are proud, they will be careless, so why don't we send an elite army to climb up from the weak guard of the city wall tonight and seize the city gate, and maybe we can succeed. ”

Sensing that this was a clever plan, Zambuta nodded, glanced at the generals, and asked, "Which of you is willing to lead an army to attack?" Huck and Sang Kun came out together and said, "The last general is willing to go!" I didn't expect the other party to ask for a fight, so I couldn't help but glance at the other party. Zamboo smiled, his gaze falling on Huck's body, "This time, Huck will go!" Huck was overjoyed and thanked, but Sang Kun was a little depressed, and said secretly: The general must have seen that I lost to Shi Jin during the day today, so he is not optimistic about me, and I must make a contribution to wash away this shame.

The Tibetan army burned fires and cooked up and down, and the smoke curled in the barracks, reflecting the red glow in the sky. Soon after, the sky was completely dark, and the piles of bonfires in the Tibetan military camp were like stars in the sky, and the soldiers of the Tubo army were eating, drinking, and talking around the piles of bonfires, which was noisy.

Soon after, the bustle of the camp fell silent, and at last only the campfire was still burning. In the middle of the night, Huque led a group of about 1,000 Tibetan elites dressed in soft armor and armed with short soldiers out of the barracks, and quietly marched to the northeast corner of the city. As soon as Huck's elite army left the camp, Zambuta personally led an army of 100,000 to leave the camp and go to the north gate to ambush them, and only when Huck and them succeeded rushed into the city.

Huck led a thousand elites to the northeast corner of the wall, and when he looked up, he saw that the city wall was quiet, and although a torch was lit, it was dimly lit. Huck gestured to the people around him, who immediately unhooked the hooks from their bodies, dropped the hooks, shook them, and then threw them at the wall, and the hooks flew up the wall with ropes, snapping a few soft sounds. Everyone under the wall held their breath and listened, and seeing that there was no movement on the city wall, the few people who threw out the hook just now began to slowly pull the rope down, and then felt that the hook was hanging on the city wall, and they couldn't pull it. A few people whispered to Huck, "It's okay." ”

Huck gestured, and the sergeants immediately climbed the rope to the top of the wall. Huck stood below and looked up, seeing that the top soldiers were about to climb the wall. Jingle Clank...... Suddenly, the sound of the bell was loud, and it was particularly harsh in this silent night, it turned out that a rope was arranged on the city wall by Yan Yunjun, and the rope was connected to the bell, and the Tubo army who was secretly climbing the city wall touched the rope, and the bell connected by the rope immediately rang loudly.

Huck and the others were taken aback, and then the fire on the wall surged, and then they saw countless Yan Yun armies appearing above. Huck knew it was not good, and shouted urgently, "Retreat!" Hurry back! Everyone immediately retreated, and the few Tibetan soldiers who were still hanging in the air hurriedly slid down.

Shoot the arrows! There were people on the city wall who were drinking, and then the arrows rained down, and the fleeing Tibetan army fell to the ground with arrows, and the screams rang out, and Huck was also hit by an arrow, but fortunately only shot in the arm.

Zambuta frowned when he heard the noise in the southeast corner, for it was completely different from what he had expected, and it didn't seem right.

After a while, he saw Huck and the others running back in a very embarrassed manner, and Zamb asked angrily, "You missed?" Huck was ashamed, but Samkun next to Zambuta had a gloating look on his face. Huck held his wounded left arm with his right hand and said to Zambuta, "They have set up bell traps all over the wall, and our people didn't notice it, and they touched those things while climbing the wall, and as a result, they were exposed!" Then he knelt down and pleaded: "Please punish the general!" ”

Zambtoo frowned, "Forget it, this can't be considered your sin, get up." ”

"Some great generals!" Zanbuta glanced at the city in front of him and snorted, "I don't believe that my hundreds of thousands of troops will not be able to take this small city!" ”

Early the next morning, the roar outside the city was like thunder, and the Tibetan army once again stormed the city, the offensive was more fierce than the previous day, and it was from the west, north, and south three directions at the same time, and the Tubo people seemed to be determined to win. However, after a whole day, the Tibetan army still failed to enter the city, and the losses were greater than yesterday's, and the soldiers of the Tibetan army could not help but be a little discouraged, only feeling that this way of fighting was like hitting the wall with their heads.

Zangbu was too helpless and very frustrated, and then Duo Sang suggested: "General, we can capture some Han people and drive them to attack the city." The Yanyun army has always regarded itself as the protector of the Han people, and will definitely open the city to let those people in, so that we will take the opportunity to pour into the city, not afraid that we will not be able to defeat the Yanyun army! ”

Everyone's eyes lit up, and Zanbu praised it too much: "Good strategy! What a plan! ......" Huck said: "This is just Duo Sang's own guess, what if Yan Yunjun just doesn't open the city gate?" Aren't we busy again in vain? ”

Zambuta frowned again, he felt that what Huck said was very possible, if it was him to defend the city, he would never open the city gate for a few people, so it seems that this strategy is not feasible! Duo Sang smiled: "I conclude that Yan Yunjun will definitely be tricked!" Take 10,000 steps back and say that if the Yanyun army really doesn't open the city gate and doesn't care about the life or death of their Han people, then let's slowly cut down those people in front of them, and the soldiers of the Yanyun army will definitely shake the hearts of the army even if they are made of steel. ”

Zambu nodded excitedly and said, "Okay, good, Duo Sang said it well!" Duosang, you, hurry up and take people around to arrest as many Han people as possible! "Yes!" Immediately, nearly 10,000 Tubo troops left the barracks and divided into several teams to search for the Han people in all directions; At this time, although most of the Han people had obeyed the warning of Yan Yunjun and fled into the nearby mountains, there were still many people who were reluctant to leave their homes, and as a result, they were able to be stopped by the wolf-like Tubo army.

Chen Jie received an urgent report from the scout, saying that there was a Tubo army harming the surrounding villagers, so he didn't think about it, so he left Xuanzan to defend the city, and led 2,000 war horsemen out of the city. Wandering around the nearby countryside and volleying, he fought seven fierce battles, killed more than 2,000 Tibetan troops, and saved more than 5,000 people, but tens of thousands of people were still captured by the Tibetan army and taken to the barracks. Chen Jie's 2,000 war horsemen couldn't save them, so he could only temporarily return to the city.

Chen Jie led the war cavalry into the city gate, and the rescued people knelt down on the street to thank Chen Jie and the soldiers for saving their lives, everyone was full of tears, some were crying with joy, and some were sad and killed relatives. Chen Jie turned over and dismounted, and raised his voice to the people: "Don't thank me, if you want to thank King Yan!" Then he called an officer, ordered him to take the people down to live and settle them, and then climbed the city wall with Tianyou.

The two stood on the city wall and looked at the Tubo military camp outside the city, Chen Jie couldn't help but scold: "The **** Tubo people, they can't help us, but they go to harm the people!" What a bunch of dog thieves ******! They took many people and took them to the barracks, but I couldn't save them! ”

Tianyou frowned and said, "I'm a little worried......" "Nonsense, what good thing can the people be captured by the Tubo people, but I'm worried that there is a fart!" Tianyou shook his head, "That's not what I meant," he glanced at Chen Jie, "General, have you ever wondered why the Tubo people did this?" ”

Chen Jie didn't think about it and said: "The Tubo people are insatiable, the population, especially the young women, is a valuable wealth in them, and the captive of the population is the looting of wealth, what is so strange!" ”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple! The Tibetans had captured the population before after conquering a place, not to mention the Tibetans, although others were not like this? And in the process of attacking the city, the division of troops to plunder the population is really a bit incredible! ”

Chen Jie also felt that something was wrong, "Then what do you say they want to do?" Tianyou frowned and said, "If my expectations are correct, I am afraid that their purpose is not those people, but to blackmail us with those people." If the defending side opens the gate and lets the people in, it will inevitably be attacked by the attacking side, and the consequences will naturally be unimaginable; But if the city gate is not opened, the besieging side will definitely kill the people, and the morale of the defending side will be greatly shaken. ”

Chen Jie's face changed, "Damn, what a poisonous scheme!" Tianyou nodded, "Although it is vicious, it is also very effective!" Looking at Chen Jie, "General, we have to think of a countermeasure, otherwise we will definitely be caught off guard tomorrow!" Chen Jie lowered his head and thought for a moment, looked up at the military camp outside the city, and said categorically: "We must not watch the people being killed by them!" Tianyou was shocked, "But general, in this way, the city will not be able to stand it, won't it be a big loss because of a small one!" Besides, if the city is lost, the people will not be spared! ”

Chen Jie said angrily: "According to what you mean, we are going to watch those **** slaughter the people?" ”

Tianyou sighed, "For the sake of the overall situation, I'm afraid it can only be like this!" "No! Protecting the people is the overall situation! As soldiers, if we can't protect the people, what kind of soldiers are we! We can die, and the people must be unharmed! In the world of life, no one dies, as soldiers, it is natural for us to die on the battlefield, but do we want the people to block the knife! ”

Tianyou said: "The general said well! But Xizhou's gains and losses are very important, if there is a mistake, we will not be able to explain to King Yan even if we die! Chen Jie glanced at Tianyou, "I've made up my mind, don't say more!" Tianyou said angrily: "I resolutely disagree!" Chen Jie held down the handle of the knife and glared: "You dare!" Tianyou looked at Shi Jin without fear.

The night passed, the morning came, the unique sound of the leather drums of the Tubo army shook away the light gauze-like mist, only to see the sauce-colored tide slowly approaching, and at the front were tens of thousands of ragged men, women and children! They were roped together, driven by the vicious Tibetan soldiers, and everyone was terrified to the extreme, and the children and women were in tears, and even the strong people looked at a loss.

The Tibetan army drove tens of thousands of Han Chinese and common people to the city wall. The Tubo army stopped, and Zanbutai glanced at Yan Yunjun on the city wall, and saw that the city wall was very flustered, and couldn't help but show a proud look. Raising his right hand, thousands of crossbowmen immediately fired arrows at the people in front, and the rain of arrows whizzed past, and the people who walked in the back were shot to the ground, and the cries and shouts rang out, some of the people turned to rescue their relatives who were shot down, and most of them rushed towards the city gate in panic. Xizhou City is different from the big city of the Central Plains, there is no moat, only the city wall, the frightened people rushed directly to the city gate, many people pounded on the door: "Let us in!" Please let us in! ......" The mournful cry for help made those Yanyun soldiers who were in the sword and in the fire feel very sad.

An officer named Chen Zhan couldn't stand it anymore, so he ran to Xuanzan and pleaded: "General, quickly open the city gate and let the people in!" They are so pathetic! As soon as the words fell, several more officers came to plead.

Tianyou frowned and said: "It's not that I don't want to deal with them, it's just that the situation is too dangerous now, and if there is a slight mistake, not only can I not save them, but I will also lose the entire Xizhou!" Then he pointed his hand at the two wings of the enemy: "You see, the enemy's cavalry troops are ready to attack, if we open the door, they will lose and rush into the city, and then the city will fall, not to mention the people outside the city, even the people inside the city will not be able to survive!" We can't afford to lose the big with a small thing! The officers were silent, only feeling panic in their chests.

At this moment, a series of screams and cries were heard outside the city. Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly looked down, it turned out that the Tubo people had launched another wave of arrows, and many people had suffered, only to see that many seriously injured people were still lying on the ground, miserable; A little girl under the age of one sat next to her lost mother, crying.

The Yanyun soldiers were so angry that someone shouted, "Open the city gate quickly!" With this voice, the soldiers shouted: "Open the city gates!" Open the gates! ......" At the same time, some people ran towards the city gate, trying to open the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city gate struggled to block those soldiers who wanted to open the city gate, and those soldiers saw this and roared angrily: "Are you ****** Han Chinese?" Why don't you save your fellow villagers when they are killed? The soldiers guarding the city gate didn't want to rush out to save people, but their duty was not to open the door without the general's order, and they only heard the captain of the city gate shouting excitedly: "Don't you ****** Lao Tzu unwilling to save people?" But no one could open the gates without a command! ”

"I stabbed you bastard!" Someone pulls out a knife and is about to do it, and the situation is about to be out of control! "Stop!" An angry shout suddenly came from the nearby city wall staircase. The noisy and restless city gate immediately fell silent, and all the soldiers turned their heads to look at the stairs of the city wall, and saw the praise with angry faces. The soldiers knelt down one after another, and many of them began to cry, and one officer cried: "General, please open the city gates, we can't watch our fellow countrymen being killed!" The soldiers pleaded.

Tianyou's heart was trembling, how could he be willing to do this, but the matter was big and small, how could he jump into it by himself knowing that this was the enemy's conspiracy? At this moment, a herald galloped in front of Xuanzan, reined in his horse, turned over and dismounted, ran up the wall ladder, and reported: "General, General Chen Jie ordered the villain to inform the general that he had led four thousand horsemen out of the city from the East City Gate!" General Shi Jin will lead the war cavalry to raid the enemy formation, and the general will seize the opportunity to save the people......"

When all the soldiers heard this, they were all shocked. The herald continued: "Chen Jiejun said, if he can't come back, please be sure to defend the city!" Tianyou was stunned and hurriedly ran to the city wall. At the same time, I only heard an earth-shattering shout from under the northeast city wall, and I saw Shi Jin leading four thousand war horses to rush out, and suddenly rushed towards the majestic formation composed of hundreds of thousands of enemy troops, and the four thousand soldiers galloped at full speed, roaring like thunder, and moving forward! Tianyou scolded with tears in his eyes: "Damn! ”

The Tubo people didn't expect the other party to stand out from the cavalry at all, and they were stunned for a while.

Four thousand soldiers kicked into the middle of the cavalry on their flanks, and bravely rushed to kill, killing the Tibetan soldiers on their backs and being frightened and confused. Four thousand soldiers like a sharp blade in an instant actually passed through the enemy's cavalry, and then hit the Tubo Chinese army like a stormy wave, everyone sacrificed their lives forward, like crazy swinging the blade, like four thousand crazy tigers, the Tubo infantry army was killed so that the corpse and blood flew back again and again, and the hundreds of thousands of troops were actually impulsive by these four thousand war horses. The Tubo army could no longer take care of attacking the city, turned its head and tried its best to deal with it, hundreds of thousands of troops besieged the four thousand Yanyun army, but the four thousand Yanyun army was invincible in the conflict, and the day and earth changed color!

Seeing that the enemy army was completely attracted to the past, Tianyou hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened, and tens of thousands of people flocked in, there were too many people, and the city gate was small, and it was impossible to enter the city for a while.

The situation of Chen Jie's war horses deteriorated rapidly, although they were brave and invincible, but after all, the difference in strength was too great, and after a fight, they were already surrounded by the other party! At this time, more than half of the four thousand war horsemen had been lost! Shi Jin killed an enemy general with one shot, turned his head to look at the direction of the city gate, and found that half of the people had not entered the city, frowned, turned his head to look at the enemy's handsome flag, raised his spear and shouted: "Everyone, follow me, charge!" "Yanyun war cavalry got rid of the enemy in front of them, and followed Shi Jin to rush towards the handsome banner of Tubo, the iron hooves rushed and stirred, the roar was thrilling, and the fighting spirit rushed straight to Xiao Han, life and death have been put aside!

Although the Tubo soldiers had the advantage, they still couldn't help but tremble in the face of such a Yanyun army; At this time, there were already three solid lines of defense lined up in front of the Tubo Shuai Banner, the giant shield was like a wall, and the spears were like a forest, not to mention the light cavalry, even if it was a heavy armored cavalry, it was difficult to break through, but the Tubo general Zanbuta, who was behind this heavy protection, looked at the murderous Yanyun war horse, but couldn't help but tremble! At this time, no one still has the heart to pay attention to the direction of the city gate!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
