The sky was bright, and the four-meter-high city wall of Tongren County was already full of people and lined with swords and guns.
There seems to be a middle-aged man wearing felt clothes and various jewelry such as green orbs, gold and silver, large and small jade stones hanging on his hat, standing at the top of the city and looking down.
Li Xuan led 300 cavalrymen and stopped in an open space 500 meters from the east gate of Tongren County.
There are no fuyuan crossbows or catapults on the city walls, only the customary bows and arrows of the Tubo people.
After glancing at the middle-aged noble on the city wall, Li Xuan waved her hand back casually.
The next moment, a Qianniu Guard was already riding forward slowly.
Arriving under the city gate, Qian Niuwei cupped his hands toward the city wall, and then spoke loudly: "By the orders of the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty, General of the Right Guard of the Inspection School, Deputy Marshal of the Taohe Road March, Deputy General Manager of the March, Wang Jun of Nanchang :
Long's service was over, and Lu committed suicide. The army marched south, and the troops came to our colleagues. They told the officials that they had half an hour to abandon the city and surrender. Otherwise, as soon as the city gate was broken, the officials and soldiers, regardless of whether they resisted or not, would be killed immediately. . "
The Tubo nobles on the city wall looked terribly ugly, but they still held the riding whip in their hands.
No one dared to persuade him to abandon the city and surrender.
Regardless of whether there was a response from the city, the Qianniu Guard still shouted loudly: "By the order of the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty... Wang Jun of Nanchang ordered: The imperial service has been sent, and Lu will commit suicide... in half an hour, abandon When the city surrenders...as soon as the city gates are breached...they will be killed immediately."
After saying this three times in a row, Qian Niuwei slowly retreated.
Li Xuan just sat on the horse and watched calmly, looking at the entire Tongren County.
Half an hour passed, but the city gate still hadn't opened.
Li Xuan waved his hand back, and another Qianniu Guard rode forward.
Arriving under the city gate, Qian Niuwei spoke loudly: "By the order of the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty, the right guard general of the inspection school, the deputy marshal of the Taohe Road March, the deputy general manager of the march, Wang Jun of Nanchang: Inform our colleagues and the people that a war is about to begin. In the forbidden city, the people return home. Once the city is broken, the people in the city who are on the city walls and streets, as long as they hold swords, will be killed immediately for resistance."
The voice of Qian Niuwei just sounded here. Two hundred meters away from the north and south, four hundred meters away, and even the south city gate, west city gate and north city gate, people everywhere were saying: "King's order: Forbidden City... Holding hands Anyone who wields a sword will be killed.”
Countless voices rang out under the entire Tongren City Wall, and everyone on the wall looked at each other in shock.
Nowadays, although the number of soldiers in Tongren City is not large, with the officers, civilians, and private soldiers in the city, the city can still be defended.
How come it fell into the eyes of the Tang people, as if they had already entered the city.
After the Qianniu Guards shouted three times, before the bows and arrows were fired from the top of the city, they quickly turned back to Li Xuan, slightly bowed their hands to Li Xuan, and then returned to the queue.
Li Xuan raised her head and looked calmly at the top of the city. Her sharp eyes made the officials and soldiers on the top of the city immediately raise their swords and bows.
Li Xuan nodded slightly towards the city head, then looked sideways to the left and whispered: "Tell Li Duozuo to attack the city."
"Here!" Li Xuan gave the order, and Li Zhu immediately turned around and rode away.
Just a quarter of an hour after Li Zhu left, a violent sound of fighting suddenly came from the southeast of the city wall, and it quickly penetrated deep into Tongren City.
The officials on the city wall also heard the sound and subconsciously looked towards the place where the sound came from, with expressions of horror and disbelief.
The city is broken, how could it be?
In an instant, the officials and soldiers on the city wall were already panicking. They never expected that their colleagues' city wall would be breached so easily.
Almost as soon as the Tang army attacked the city, the city was broken.
Li Xuan rode under the city and couldn't help but shake her head slightly. These people had no idea that the city wall they built had obvious loopholes.
Tongren's city wall was newly renovated in the past two years. However, I don't know whether it was due to lack of craftsmen or other reasons, so they focused on repairing the east gate and city wall. As for the north and south directions, only the area near the city gate was repaired. Yuan is basically fooling around.
Although many places appear to be the same height and thickness, they are actually hollow inside and are false walls deliberately built by craftsmen in the city.
This has nothing to do with the Demon Sect, or to be precise, the Demon Sect's fake walls themselves are the work of craftsmen who cut corners.
Or the officials who supervise the construction are stealing and lining their own pockets.
This resulted in huge loopholes appearing in Tongren's city walls where they could not be seen. Once such loopholes were caught, they would immediately become a weapon for the city to be breached.
That was the case now. Li Duozuo was "lucky" to find such a place, and rushed into the city in one go.
Two thieves who tried to escape from the city at night were caught by Li Duozuo.
After asking, he immediately found the gap in the city wall.
The Tubo people still had no experience in building large-scale cities, and even such a small city was full of loopholes.
…
Li Xuan stood one mile away from the city wall, and he could clearly hear the killing caused by Li Duozuo's cavalry.
In less than a quarter of an hour, he had already reached the center of the city.
However, at this moment, the city was still full of Tubo people, and no one was trying to deal with Li Duozuo. It seemed that in their eyes, Li Xuan was more terrifying than Li Jinxing who had entered the city.
Li Xuan looked sideways and whispered: "Deploy a hundred people to enter the city through the gap and tell Li Jinxing not to attack the east gate in a hurry. Take the west gate first, then attack each city gate one by one, and finally come to the east gate. "
"Here!" Li Zhu immediately turned around and gave the order, followed closely by a hundred right guard cavalry, who had already rushed toward the southwest corner of Tongren County.
After a while, the noise in the city became louder and louder, but after it reached its peak, it suddenly returned to silence.
West City was captured, then South City, and finally North City.
Just when Li Xuan thought that the Tubo people on the top of the city would persist until Li Duozuo led his men to the east gate, the group of people suddenly came down from the top of the city, then opened the city gate, and two hundred cavalry went directly towards Li Duozuo. Kill Xuan's position.
Li Xuan smiled softly, then picked up the silver mask from her waist and fastened it on her face.
With a ferocious mask and black clothes and armor, Li Xuan was like a devil in the abyss, charging directly towards the south side of the Tubo cavalry.
Jinwu Guard and Qianniu Guard followed closely, and the cavalry charged diagonally. The speed was astonishingly fast. Within a mile, the bows and arrows had no time to be raised, and the two groups were already fighting together.
The one-foot-eight long spear flew past the south side of the Tubo cavalry. In the blink of an eye, nearly eighty cavalrymen had fallen off their horses.
At the end of the charge, Li Xuan quickly turned around and rushed directly to the south, even one step ahead of the Tubo people.
Today's colleagues, the north has been completely occupied by the Tang Dynasty, and only the south has a place for the Tubo people to escape, but this opportunity was directly seized by Li Xuan.
A handful of feather arrows flew up randomly and were nailed to the ground in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Qianniu Guard and Jinwu Guard were divided into two parts, east and west, ruthlessly cutting the two wings of the Tibetan cavalry.
In the blink of an eye, the two teams exchanged positions.
There are less than thirty Tubo people left.
In this kind of plain charge, the Tang cavalry was invincible.
"Charge!" Li Xuan took the lead and charged forward again, but at this moment, the Tubo man suddenly turned around and rushed towards Zeku at great speed.
However, at this time, Li Xuan smiled softly.
…
A moment later, under a cliff, all twenty-eight Tubo cavalrymen fell to the ground.
Li Zhu led his men to calmly and coldly finish the attack. Those who were not killed by the crossbow arrows all died under his sword.
"Bring the body back and hang it at the central street entrance." Li Xuan waved his hand, and in the blink of an eye he had brought the body back to Tongren County.
At this time, Li Duozuo was already waiting at the east gate with his people.
Li Xuan looked Li Duozuo up and down, seeing that he was in good spirits, nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Brother Gaichuan, I would like to trouble you to work harder and immediately lead the two hundred right-leading guard cavalry to the west. , take the Anya Pass, and then rest.
After resting, they sent a team of troops to go north from the mountain road and appeared in the southeast of Lake Nile. They told them, and also told Duke Yan and colleagues that we had captured it. "
Li Duozuo's expression was immediately shocked, and he cupped his hands and said: "General, I obey the order and go immediately."
The soldiers are so fast that Anya Pass has not received any news yet.
As long as Li Duozuo is smarter, he can take Anya Pass immediately.
The Anya Pass has a dangerous terrain, with narrow mountain roads in the northwest and southwest, respectively, leading to Lake Nile and northeastern Tongde.
Although the mountain road is narrow and difficult for the large army to pass, a small group of scouts can easily reach the northeast and southwest hinterland of the Tibetan left-wing army.
This will tell Lun Qinling: Li Xuan is here.
The Tibetan people's usual fighting method was mortally threatened.
After Li Duozuo set off, Li Xuan stood at the east gate and immediately said: "Xu Wei!"
Xu Wei, the right guard general, immediately stepped forward and said unceremoniously: "I order you to lead one hundred right guard cavalry and one hundred right leading guard cavalry, and immediately go to the southeast of Zeku to find the black tooth Chang Zhonglang general, and tell His colleagues have already captured it, and his logistics and supplies will be sent from his colleagues soon."
"General, I will obey the order." Xu Wei immediately led his men to set off without any hesitation.
His heart was filled with enthusiasm. If he could win Zeku together with Black Tooth Changzhi, then his achievements would surely go further.
Li Xuan looked at the back of Xu Wei leading the people away and nodded slightly. Xu Wei's departure was just the icing on the cake.
What Li Xuan really believes in is Hei Te Changzhi.
Although Hei Te Changzhi has been active between Henan and Zeku, intercepting and killing various cavalry and messengers, and capturing towns, he does not attack the city easily.
His supply of food and grass was not timely, and he needed to patiently find the weaknesses of Henan County and Zeku before he could attack them in one fell swoop.
But now, times have changed.
…
Li Xuan rode on horseback and led his men to the outside of Tongren County Yamen.
Looking at the county government plaque, Li Xuan said directly: "This is the king's order: From now on, the streets in Tongren County will be clean. All people are not allowed to go to the streets without orders. All drinking water and food will be distributed by sergeants on a per capita basis, and trespassers will ,cut!"
"Follow the order."
Li Xuan continued: "The Jinwu Guards and the Qianniu Guards will each separate a team of people to search for the county officials and the noble houses in the city, and then raid the homes. The grain obtained will supply the needs of the people, and the gold and silver treasures will be used for Recruit local people who are willing to surrender, as well as slaves."
Tongren originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty, but was later occupied by Tubo. Those people who could not escape were directly demoted as slaves by the Tubo people.
But not all slaves can be freed. Some slaves have truly become the dogs of the Tubo people, while others are still at the bottom. They need to be distinguished before they can be used.
"Here!"
"Send orders to Li Yi to immediately transfer three hundred right guards from Longwu Village to garrison our colleagues." Li Xuan then issued a new military order.
Now that our colleagues have captured it, Longwu Village is no longer important. We only need to retain the manpower to transport grain and grass.
"Follow the order!"
Seeing several people leaving on horseback, Li Xuan stepped into the county government office.
He still had a lot of things to do. Yu Ze, He Zhizhang and others all had to be transferred over. He also had to write official documents to Li Jinxing, Li Xian, and Lanzhou.
At the same time, he reported to Shendu that his colleagues had won.
The next step is to take down Tongren, Zeku, Henan, Jianzha, and Guide, and then connect them in a line.
Suppress the left wing of the Tibetan army and suppress Lun Qinling.
The show has just begun.
