At the foot of Erlang Mountain, the Tubo army camp.
Lang Zhidu was sitting on the head of the commander's tent with a golden sword.
The various wolf masters and tribal chiefs were sitting on both sides.
The deputy general, Iron Blade Xinoluo, was sitting first on the left.
Lang Zhidu shouted: "Iron Blade Xinolo, how is the construction of the camp going?"
Iron Blade Xinuolo said: "I would like to inform the second prince that in half an hour, the camp and all the large and small tents will be set up.
In addition, more than a dozen siege ladders have been built.
When the camp is completed, the siege ladders will be built.
That’s enough, let the men have a good meal and then attack the city.”
"Okay."
Lang Zhidu led the troops for the first time.
He was really high-spirited and waved his hands very hard.
"In this case, let's pass on the order and ask the cooks to light a fire and cook the food immediately."
"promise" After Lang Zhidu and his troops had eaten and drank enough, he immediately lit up his army and marched toward Panhe County, with smoke and dust billowing and flags ringing loudly along the way.
Ge Shuhan and a dozen Ye Bu Sui rushed to the city and shouted: "General Qi, the Tibetan army is coming!"
Zhao Ziliang stood at the top of the city and asked: "How many people have come and how many are left in the Tibetan camp?"
"There are five thousand men and horses left in the camp, and Lang Zhi has brought all the others over."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and ordered: "Now that you are staying outside the city at night, it is of little use.
Let's all go into the city and rest.
Come on, open the city gate and let them come in to rest."
Soon after Ge Shuhan and others entered the city, the Tubo vanguard of 5,000 cavalry arrived at the city gate, followed by 2,000 camel soldiers.
Although the Tubo cavalry and camel soldiers were not marching in neat formation, they were This military body exudes It can be seen from the momentum they came out that these cavalry and camel soldiers are elites who have been on the battlefield for a long time.
After the arrival of 5,000 Tibetan cavalry and 2,000 camel soldiers, they surrounded the four city gates of Panhe County with water, and not even a mosquito could pass through.
Don't even think about flying out.
Of course, the Tubo cavalry cannot attack the city.
Their role is to besiege the city, preventing people inside the city from escaping and preventing people from outside from entering.
Soon, the large banner of Langzhidu arrived, accompanied by more than 30,000 infantry.
The equipment of the Tibetan infantry was basically the same.
Unlike the Tang Dynasty, which divided the infantry into multiple arms, the weapons of the Tibetan infantry included spears and furry leather shields. and daggers, and not every soldier is equipped with these weapons.
Some soldiers only have spears, some only have leather shields and daggers, and some soldiers also have bows and arrows.
All the soldiers and civilians of the Tang Army standing on the city wall felt that the entire ground was shaking when the Tubo army arrived.
The army of 40,000 people was definitely a huge army.
The entire Anxi regular army only had 24,000 people.
During the heyday of the Hexi Army There are only more than 73,000 people.
After last year's disastrous defeat, it is estimated that there are less than half of them now.
Zhao Ziliang saw the formation of the Tibetan people and immediately said: "Wang Jinlan will guard the west gate, Gao Xiuyan will guard the east gate, Zhang Shouyu will guard the north gate, and Ma Lin will follow Wang Jinlan.
As deputy general, the first wave of Tubo attacks will be fierce, and we must resist it." live" "Follow your orders" After these people left, Zhao Ziliang thought about Brahan who was locked in the cell.
After thinking about it, he ordered someone to release him from the prison.
Soon Brahan was brought over by two guards.
When Bole saw Zhao Ziliang, he prostrated himself: "See the general" Zhao Ziliang saw that Bo Liang was in good condition these days after he was imprisoned.
It seemed that the soldiers guarding him did not make things difficult for him and provided him with good food and drink.
So he asked: "Br Han, this general has imprisoned you for so long."
For a long time, you may be convinced.”
Brahan said: "The subordinates are the general's slaves.
Even if the general wants to execute the subordinates, the subordinates will never complain."

"Then do you realize your mistake?"
Brahan lowered his head: "Yes, I realize my mistake."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and asked: "According to your crime, you will not be able to escape death.
However, the enemy is besieging the city now.
It is the right time for this general to employ people.
I will give you a chance to make meritorious service and allow you to go to the city to defend the city and kill the enemy.
If you wait If the enemy refuses but you do not die, even if you are not guilty, are you willing?"
"Yes, my subordinates are willing to go through fire and water for the general, no matter what."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand: "Come here, give him his weapons and armor."
The Tibetans were finally about to take action.
Zhao Ziliang stood on the city gate building with a telescope to check the movement and mobilization of the Tibetan army.
He found that the main attack direction of the Tibetan army was still at the south gate.
After all, the terrain near the south gate was the lowest. , and the other three gates are on higher ground.
If the city is attacked at the other three gates, the Tang army defending the city will have the advantage of being in a commanding position.
As the deputy general of the Tubo army, Iron Blade Xinuoluo will certainly not let Lang Zhidu make such a low-level mistake. .
As expected, it was the first time for Lang Zhidu to lead an army and he didn't understand anything.
He shouted and ordered: "Iron Blade Xinuoluo, order the whole army to attack fiercely.
This prince will conquer Panhe City in one battle, hahaha."
Iron Blade Xinuolo was shocked and immediately advised: "Second Prince, no, Panhe County is only so big, the city wall is neither wide nor long, and our army does not have enough siege equipment, even if we send all the soldiers to attack In the city, only three to four thousand people are really effective, and there are more than 30,000 people gathered under the city.
They can only worry.
If they fail to break through Panhe County the first time, our army will lose its spirit and morale will plummet. " Iron Blade Signoro opposed Lang Zhidu's decision every time, which made Lang Zhidu already dissatisfied with him.
Now he opposed Lang Zhidu's decision again.
Lang Zhidu couldn't bear it anymore and took out his waist.
The short knife pointed at him and said angrily: "Fart, I am the second prince, and I am the commander-in-chief.
You disobeyed my general order.
Believe it or not, I will kill you for disobeying the military order."
Iron Blade Xinolo's face changed drastically, his energy and blood rushed to his heart, his face flushed, and he almost fainted from anger.
Fortunately, he had strong concentration and barely suppressed the roiling energy and blood.
But Lang Zhidu was still shouting: "Why are you so stunned?
Go and deliver the order quickly.
Do you really want to die?"
Iron Blade Xinuolo sighed and could only grit his teeth and agree: "Yes, the second prince."
Iron Blade Xinuoluo was a Tubo general commanded by his combat experience, but the commander-in-chief was Lang Zhidu, a reckless man who knew nothing.
He actually admired Lang Zhidu's martial arts, but Lang Zhidu didn't know how to march and fight at all.
Yes, he really didn’t understand why Rhizode Zuzanpu let Lang Zhidu serve as the general of the army.
Although Iron Blade Xinuoluo was confident, he couldn’t display his military talents when he encountered a pig-like teammate like Lang Zhidu.
The Tubo army finally launched an all-out attack in accordance with the military orders of Lang Zhidu, the second Tubo prince.
Except for the 5,000 cavalry and 2,000 camel soldiers who raided the formation, all the infantry opened their legs and held weapons and rushed towards the four city walls.
Seeing that the Tibetan army launched a full-scale attack from the beginning, Zhao Ziliang couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and said to the general beside him: "Are the Tubo people stupid or stupid to launch all the infantry to attack the four gates from the beginning?
Don't Lang Zhi know the area and area of the attack?"
The space is only so big, and only a few thousand people can really do it.
No matter how many people come, they can only deliver food under the city wall?"
Dong Yanguang said: "General, this attack may have been ordered by Lang Zhidu.
His talented lieutenant general is probably speechless."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "This is the only possibility.

In this case, if we don't take advantage of this opportunity to kill as many Tibetan soldiers as possible, it would be very disrespectful to their commander.
General Chuanben, ordered all The new recruits and all the strong men are ready, and every two quarters of an hour Take turns to defend, so that all the new recruits and all the strong men are familiar with real fighting.
Tell the other three guards to properly arrange the defensive forces and not let any leaks occur.
After the enemy arrives at the city, use as much fire oil and stone as possible.
Pour blocks, rolling logs, and boiling water toward the enemy-concentrated locations below the city."
"Yes," the ordering soldier agreed and immediately turned around to convey the order.
Deafening shouts of killing came from far and near the city.
There were too many, and they were as dense as ants.
There were no siege tactics.
The only tactic that could be called a tactic was the human sea tactic.
The huge advantage in numbers formed an overwhelming power.
The Tang troops on the city wall, especially the new soldiers and strong men, were frightened.
Zhao Ziliang had long expected that this would happen, and immediately drew out his sword and shouted: "Don't be afraid, everyone.
Although there are many Tubo people, they can't come up with so many people at once.
We have enough time to boil water, Rolling logs and stones were thrown to kill and injure them, and everyone paid attention.
A veteran led two recruits and two strong men to cooperate with each other.
The veteran had to teach the recruits when to dodge and when to attack."
Looking at the chaotic Tubo army rushing under the city wall, Zhao Ziliang was filled with emotion for a moment.
If it weren't for Lang Zhidu, a fool who was fooling around, this situation would never have happened in the siege.
This was simply a gift to the Tang army. vegetable.
Seeing the Tibetan army pouring into the city, Zhao Ziliang immediately raised his beheading knife and shouted: "Archers shoot arrows, others throw stones."
Wave after wave of arrows were shot down, and the Tubo soldiers fell down one after another.
However, the Tubo people seemed not to be afraid of death, and they rushed towards the city wall one after another.
One after another, the siege ladders were carried over by the Tibetan soldiers.
On the city wall, there were more and more Tubo soldiers under the city.
Zhao Ziliang commanded calmly with his sword, "Soldiers, don't panic.
The enemy's siege ladder is limited.
Only one person can come up at a time.
Everyone has enough time to shoot out the arrows.
Aim and shoot again.
Soldiers who throw stones Also spotted and smashed."
Zhao Ziliang's words seemed to be magical.
After listening to his words, the soldiers of the Tang Army inexplicably relaxed.
One by one, they calmly attacked the Tibetan soldiers on the ladder and the soldiers under the city wall.
The Tubo soldiers on the ladder fell down one after another after being attacked.
In addition to the south city gate, the other three city gates, under the command of Wang Nannan, Zhang Shouyu, and Gao Xiuyan, also began to kill a large number of Tibetan soldiers.
Beside the city wall, Tubo soldiers bravely climbed up the ladder without fear of death.
At the city gate, many Tibetans carried battering rams and kept hitting the city gate.
However, the reinforced city gate could not be broken through in a short time.
All I heard was the constant banging, but I didn't see the city gate being broken
