The shouts of killing were overwhelming, and the entire city wall was noisy.
A large number of screams spread from the bottom of the city to all directions.
Under the command of Zhao Ziliang, there were basically no Tubo soldiers at the south gate who climbed up the ladder to the city wall.
Most of the Tubo soldiers climbed up the ladder.
Half of them were knocked down, and a small part climbed to two-thirds of the way.
In the end, they were either smashed or hit by arrows and fell down.
As the fighting time prolonged, Zhao Ziliang found that there were more and more Tibetan soldiers under the city wall, almost crowded.
There were no gaps between the soldiers at all.
The density of people was so dense that although it gave the Tang army on the wall a psychological It caused huge pressure on the world, but it also brought a huge crisis to itself.
At this time, Iron Blade Xinuolo, who was sitting on horseback in the rear, saw his own soldiers crowded into groups under the city wall like ants moving.
This made him frightened.
He only hoped that the Tang army generals on the wall would be overwhelmed by the force of his own attack on the city.
He was shocked and unable to see the huge crisis on his side, but the more he didn't want things to develop in this direction.
How can we not see how high Zhao Ziliang's battlefield acuity is?
He has long foreseen this happening.
Seeing that the time had come, Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered: "Pour all the kerosene in the iron pot where the enemy troops are concentrated.
The more evenly the better."
After receiving the order, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Army divided some people to lift the kerosene that had just been packed in wooden barrels under the arrow stack, scooped up the kerosene with wooden ladles, and poured it down to the area where the Tibetan soldiers gathered under the city.
With a large amount of fire, The oil poured down on them, and the Tibetan soldiers below the city were burned until they screamed and screamed.
There were big blisters on the clothes, and they were rolling on the ground.
Their heart-rending screams frightened the other Tubo soldiers around them.
However, they could not retreat without Yo Ming Jin in the rear.
Retreating without permission would be beheaded.
The Tubo soldiers could only He could continue to attack the city wall despite casualties.
As more and more hot oil was poured down, more and more Tibetan soldiers were not spared.
A large number of Tibetan soldiers under the city wall were poured with hot oil, and most of them were burned to the point of screaming.
When all the hot oil prepared was poured down, Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered: "Light the torch and throw it down."
Torches were lit one after another and thrown into the crowd of Tibetan soldiers below the city.
Only a continuous "boom" sound was heard from below the city.
The city suddenly burned up, and screams spread to all directions one after another. spitting fire oil The Tibetan soldiers were set on fire one by one on the spot.
The crowd was too dense.
The Tibetan soldiers in front wanted to escape to the rear, but the morale of the rear blocked them.
A burning Tibetan soldier could set five or six people around him on fire.
Spectacular, so spectacular.
Since ancient times, water and fire have been merciless.
Inspired and influenced by the south city wall, the defenders of the other three city walls also discovered that the Tibetan army under the city was too dense and suitable for attacking with fire oil.
Most of the Tubo soldiers were wearing furry leather armor.
This kind of equipment was easy to catch fire.
As long as some of it was contaminated, it would quickly catch fire.
One after another, the Tubo soldiers under the city wall were caught in a sea of fire. middle.
When Iron Blade Signoro, who was standing in the distance, saw this situation, he felt that his chest was so tight that he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
His head was dizzy and he almost fell off his horse.
Finally able to stabilize his body, Iron Blade Signoro murmured to himself: "It's over, it's over, so many big boys were ruined like this.
I'm sorry for them, I'm sorry for them."
With the extremely miserable screams and the sight of their comrades being swallowed up by the fire, the Tibetan soldiers in the rear couldn't bear it anymore and scrambled to retreat to the rear one by one to escape.

After seeing this situation, Iron Blade Xinolo sighed to the man next to him: "Second Prince, order the troops to withdraw.
The soldiers have lost their courage.
If we continue to fight, we will only increase casualties."
Lang Zhidu also knew at this time that he had made a big mistake.
It turned out that fighting was not that simple.
One mistake would cause the soldiers to suffer heavy losses.
He could only nod blankly: "Retract the troops, quickly withdraw the troops."
After the Tubo army withdrew its troops and returned to the camp, Iron Blade Xinuolo immediately sent people to count the casualties.
The casualties soon came out.
More than 11,000 people died in the battle, of which at least 89,000 were burned to death.
In addition, A small number of them were shot or stoned to death, and others There are still more than 3,000 people with mild or severe burns, and they have basically lost their combat effectiveness.
After calculation, in less than two hours, 15,000 people were lost, excluding 5,000 cavalry and 2,000 cavalry.
In addition to the camel soldiers, there are only 18,000 infantry left.”
Zhao Ziliang estimated that the Tubo people would never dare to launch another siege in the afternoon.
With this level of casualties, the morale of the Tibetan soldiers had dropped to the bottom.
Even if Lang Zhidu and his lieutenants forced another siege, they could only It only increases casualties and has no possibility of achieving any results.
So after the Tibetan army retreated to the main camp, Zhao Ziliang immediately ordered the battlefield to be cleaned, carried away all the corpses on and off the city wall, and collected all useful weapons and arrows.
After the battle, the corpses under the city wall must be cleaned up to prevent the Tibetans from using the corpses as siege stairs.
Moreover, after a long time, the corpses will emit a smell, which is not so pleasant.
There was a layer of burnt corpses of Tibetan soldiers under the city wall.
The smell of meat could be heard from far away, but no one had the slightest appetite.
The Tang troops who had just fought on the city wall were replaced, and another group of Tang troops were replaced on the city wall to defend and guard.
Zhao Ziliang ordered a fire to rebel so that the soldiers could eat.
However, after this battle, I am afraid that except for the veterans, the recruits and strong men Not many of us can eat it.
Zhao Ziliang sheathed his sword and arranged for Ge Shuhan to stand guard on the city wall.
Just as he was about to walk down the city wall, a guard came over and reported: "General, Bo Lehan was injured.
He killed more than 60 Tibetan soldiers by himself."
Zhao Ziliang stopped and asked: "How is he injured?"
"There was a big gash on his chest, and he bled a lot.
I don't know if he can survive, but I have used the method taught by the general to sew up the wound with needles and thread."
"Let's go and take a look," Zhao Ziliang said, turning around and walking towards the other side of the tower.
Soon they found Brahan.
He was lying on the city wall, his chest had been covered with clothes, and he had fallen into a coma.
Zhao Ziliang looked at it, stood up, sighed, and said to his followers: "Carry him back to the house and let him go."
The second lady will find a maid to take care of her, and he will take good care of himself, and then find a doctor to prescribe him some blood-tonifying and muscle-building medicine."
The servant agreed: "Promise" After Bo Lehan was carried away, Zhao Ziliang said to Nuer: "Let's go down and see the wounded."
As soon as the two men and a few followers walked down the city wall, they met the county magistrate Du Shanming.
Du Shanming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhao Ziliang and said repeatedly: "Thank God, we finally repelled the first wave of Tubo attacks." , lower official I have heard that thanks to the general guarding the city, he used fire attacks to kill a large number of Tubo people.
Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
The Tubo people are really crazy.
They attacked the city with tens of thousands of people at the same time.
I have never seen anything like this."
Du Shanming was talking to himself, and Zhao Ziliang didn't interrupt him.
This old boy was not under great pressure.
No wonder he kept talking to himself these days.

He was forced by this damn war.
Wait until he finished speaking. , Zhao Ziliang said: "County Magistrate Du came just in time.
This general is about to discuss something with you.
Aren't there many women and children in the city?
Can Magistrate Du persuade them to come and take care of the wounded?"
Du Shanming was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "General, I'm afraid he's a bit too difficult to deal with.
Men and women can't be intimate with each other.
Even if they wanted to, the men in their family wouldn't agree to it.
If something big happens then, just I'm afraid it won't end well.
Now is an extraordinary period, so it's better not to cause any complications.
If the general is really short of manpower, I can organize some old people to come and help."
After hearing Du Shanming's words, Zhao Ziliang felt that he was too wishful thinking and could not impose his thoughts on the people of the Tang Dynasty, so he patted Du Shanming on the shoulder and said, "What Magistrate Du said makes sense.
In that case, , I’ll leave this matter to you.”
"Hiss" After Zhao Ziliang left, Du Shanming kept gasping.
The shoulder that Zhao Ziliang had just patted twice was now completely numb.
He couldn't help but uttered a curse word: "This guy is really a reckless person."
Husband, ouch” Zhao Ziliang returned to his mansion in the county town.
Nie Sanniang was already two months pregnant.
When Zhao Ziliang returned to his mansion, she was waiting at the door.
Zhao Ziliang asked with concern: "You are pregnant, why don't you know how to cherish your body now even though you are pregnant?"
It's early spring, it's still very cold outside, don't catch a cold, come in."
Nie Sanniang nodded and took Zhao Ziliang's arm, turned around and walked back to the courtyard.
As she walked, she said: "Just now, I heard from the servants who sent Bulahan back that today's battle situation is very dangerous.
My husband has been too busy these days, and there are Tubo people."
The army is coming.
There is one thing I didn’t tell you. , the day before yesterday, Butler Wang sent someone to report that Sister Chen was already more than four months pregnant, which means that Sister Chen was pregnant a month before we left, but we didn't notice it at the time, so her husband must be away fighting.
Be careful, two more children will soon call you daddy."
Zhao Ziliang was in a great mood when he heard the news and laughed: "Hahaha, good.
Today we repelled the Tubo attack and killed more than 10,000 enemies.
It is a happy event.
I also heard that Qingying is pregnant, which is also a happy event.
One thing, today is a double happiness.
I am happy to congratulate three.
Mom, make something delicious and prepare a jar of wine to celebrate.
Oh, no, no, no, as a general, you should set an example.
If you say you can’t do something special and start a small business alone, you must not make an exception.
Sanniang, it seems that the war is over.
My husband couldn’t have dinner with you before.”
Nie Sanniang rolled her eyes at Zhao Ziliang and said coquettishly: "You, sometimes you are too serious.
You should think about how to deal with the Tubo attack tomorrow.
Although the Tubo people suffered heavy losses, after all, the main force is still there and the strength is still there."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Sanniang is right.
If the command of the Tubo army falls into the hands of the deputy general of Langzhidu, the subsequent war will be difficult to fight."
