Chapter 95: Under the City of Chang'an, Attacked From Both Inside and Outside

"Report——"

"I report to Zanpu that the 50,000-strong army chasing the Han cavalry was ambushed by the Han army ten miles north of Xiangji Temple. The 50,000 cavalry were all wiped out and the general Baima was killed in battle!"

Tubo camp, outside the Chinese army tent.

A soldier who desperately rushed back from Xiangji Temple brought the news that the entire 50,000 Tibetan cavalry army had been wiped out, and brought it back to the Tibetan camp to report to Zampodama.

"Han Army, Han Army's reinforcements to reinforce Chang'an City are gathering at Xiangji Temple and are heading straight for our army camp!"

"What?"

After hearing this, Tubo Zanputama was furious.

Without caring about the noble image, he jumped up from the chair, rushed in front of the messenger in three steps and grabbed him by the skirt of his clothes.

He glared angrily and shouted sternly: "What did you say? The 50,000-strong army was wiped out, and the general Baima died in battle?"

The messenger didn't speak, but nodded desperately in pain and despair.

boom!

Dama pushed the messenger down, his eyes were blood red, and he said in a violent tone: "How is this possible? It has only been an hour since Baima led 50,000 cavalry to pursue the Han army and defeated it."

"In just one hour, the entire 50,000 Tibetan army was wiped out?"

"Even if there are 50,000 yaks, it is impossible for them to be slaughtered by the Han army in one hour!"

Obviously, Dama found it difficult to accept the news that the 50,000-strong army had been wiped out, and he was even less willing to believe that the most elite mail cavalry in the Tibetan army could not last even an hour in the hands of the Han army.

How can this be?

If the fighting power of the Han army was really so powerful, why would they hide in Chang'an City and be a coward? Why would they be defeated from Hexi and Longyou prefectures all the way to Chang'an City?

"Zanpu, the Han army's reinforcements ambush are as strong as 100,000 people!"

At this time, the messenger continued with a cry in his voice: "In the entire mountain forest north of Xiangji Temple, there are ambushes of the Han army all over the mountains and plains."

"Their cavalry are all heavily armored and armed with sharp weapons. Their horses are tall and muscular, far superior to our Tibetan cavalry's horses;"

"What's even more terrifying is that among the Han army reinforcements who reinforced Chang'an City, there was actually a group of infantry who specialized in restraining the cavalry troops. They were wearing heavy armor and holding sharp long knives;"

"The last general, the last general saw it with his own eyes at Xiangji Temple. This long sword team of the Han army used wall-style advancement tactics on the battlefield, pressing forward step by step against our cavalry. Hundreds of long swords formed a unified shield. Ups and downs, slashing, and wherever the sword and shield passed, both men and horses were shattered!"

At this point, the messenger made a plop, knelt down in front of Dama, and cried with tears: "Zanpu, this Han army's reinforcements are really powerful. Our army now has no cavalry. I hope Zanpu will speed up." Make a quick decision;"

"Once the reinforcements of the Han army are surrounded and attacked from inside and outside by the remnants of the Anxi frontier army in Chang'an City, it will be too late to retreat!"

puff!

Before he finished speaking, the Tibetan messenger who desperately came back to deliver the message found his head missing and burped on the spot.

Dama, who was Tubo Zampu, also held a scimitar with a few drops of blood on the blade.

Seeing this scene, the generals, counselors, and servants in the Tubo Central Army's tent fell to their knees one after another and buried their heads deeply. No one dared to touch Zanpu's bad luck.

Dama's eyes were blood red and he roared with a ferocious expression: "The war is about to begin. Anyone who shakes the morale of our Tibetan army or boosts the morale of the enemy's army will be killed without mercy!"

As he spoke, Dama suddenly waved the scimitar in his hand and ordered sternly: "Send the order and prepare the army for war!"

"Got the order!"

At the same time, on the tower of Chang'an City.

When the Tibetan cavalry desperately broke out of Xiangji Temple and rushed back to the Tibetan camp to deliver the message, he was finally beheaded by Zampodama.

Outside Chang'an City, several black armor cavalry also came on horseback.

Several cavalrymen galloped back and forth on the bank of the moat, but the moat of the suspension bridge was pulled away. At this time, it had become a chasm that the black armored cavalry could not cross.

On top of the city tower, Guo Dingfang, the general of the Anxi Army and the General of Zhenxi, as well as the generals of the Anxi Frontier Army under his command, also discovered several black armor cavalry under the city.

Immediately, a military general spoke up: "General, he is the cavalry scout of His Royal Highness King Jin of Dragon City! They are galloping back and forth outside the city. From time to time, do they have urgent military information to convey to the city?"

As he spoke, the general tentatively suggested: "General, would you like to lower the suspension bridge and let these cavalry scouts enter the city?"

"No!"

This suggestion was immediately retorted: "What if the cavalry scouts under the city are disguised as Tibetan spies? If we lower the drawbridge and open the city gate at this time, wouldn't we be tricking the Tubo thieves!"

"If Chang'an City is lost, it won't just be as simple as you and me losing their hats!"

Whoosh!

"General, be careful!"

While he was talking, an arrow suddenly flew up to the wall of Chang'an City and plunged straight into the pillars of the city tower. The birch arrow shaft was still trembling left and right under the action of inertia.

"Enemy attack——"

Someone on the city tower exclaimed.

"Everyone, wait a minute, don't make a fuss!"

At this time, Guo Dingfang, who was the general of Zhenxi, finally showed a bit of the demeanor of a general, and immediately drove away the jittery defenders on the city wall.

Then, he strode to the building pillar that was hit by the arrow, pulled out the arrow with force, and took off the letter tied to the arrow shaft.

When I opened it, there was only a line of small words on it - at the time of Shen Shi, lead your troops out of the city, attack from both inside and outside, and annihilate Tubo!

The signature is, Chen Qingzhi, deputy marshal of the Longcheng Army!

Hahaha!

Guo Dingfang suddenly laughed out loud, and in the surprised eyes of the generals defending the city, he said to himself: "Generals, the siege of Chang'an City has been lifted, and the death of the Tubo bandits has come!"

"Pass on this general's order-the whole army will assemble, go out of the city at 3 p.m., and attack from both inside and outside with the Longcheng reinforcements to completely wipe out the Tubo bandits outside Chang'an City;"

"Revenge for the Anxi frontier soldiers who died on the battlefield, and for the innocent people of Anxi states who died tragically under the Tubo butcher's knife!"

"Revenge!"

"Revenge!"

It was 3 p.m.

The 30,000 Anxi frontier soldiers who retreated to Chang'an City were dressed in armor and swords, ready to go.

More than 10,000 wounded soldiers, the old, weak, and disabled who stayed in the city climbed up the city wall to see off the Anxi frontier soldiers who were about to go out of the city to fight.

Anxi General and Zhenxi General Guo Dingfang led the way, wearing Mingguang armor, holding a ring-handled sword, and jumped forward on his horse, issuing an order: "Pass the order down, lower the drawbridge and open the city gate!"

"Lower the drawbridge and open the city gate!"

Boom!

Soon, accompanied by a muffled sound, the drawbridge hanging high outside the moat fell down.

Then, the two heavy wooden doors of the east gate of Chang'an City were slowly pushed open by the soldiers from the city gate.

Guo Dingfang led the way, and the blade of the ring-handled sword in his hand pointed directly at the Tubo camp outside the city.

He roared: "All the generals of the Anxi border army, follow this general out of the city to kill the enemy and avenge our hatred!"

"Kill!"
