Outside the west city gate, the war horse neighed.
Iron Blade Xinuoluo held the reins and stroked the horse's mane constantly to comfort the frightened horse.
He was frightened and furious at the same time.
The shouts, screams, and noises in the city gradually became sparse until they completely quieted down.
Iron Blade Xinuolo knew that Mo Deli and the three thousand elite cavalry who rushed in had been completely annihilated.
The muscles on his face kept moving.
Shivering, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
He knew that if the general in the city didn't know that he was here, and if there weren't enough people in the urn city, he, Iron Blade Xenoluo, would be folded inside.
What a blessing, a blessing.
The two thousand cavalry behind them were scared out of their wits at this time.
They watched three thousand of their comrades fall into the city and they were helpless.
If they hadn't stopped in time and didn't rush into the city, they would have suffered the same fate as those three thousand cavalry.
The end of the whole army was annihilated.
I feel scared just thinking about it.
At this time, the two thousand surviving cavalrymen felt lingering fears.
Their morale suddenly fell to the bottom.
No one had the courage to continue fighting.
As the commander-in-chief, Iron Blade Xenoro quickly discovered that the morale of the two thousand cavalry behind him was low.
He sighed secretly, waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Return the troops to the camp."
The fourth thousand captain shouted unwillingly: "General, no, are these three thousand men dying in vain?
We want revenge.
We want to go into the city and kill all the Tang soldiers and civilians in the city."
Iron Blade Xinolo sighed: "I think so, general, but do you have any way to break the city?"
"This" the captain was speechless.
Iron Blade Xinoluo waved his hand and said: "Forget it, we'll make a long-term plan when we return to camp."
"Yes, yes" Iron Blade Xenoro led his army back to the camp, and the second prince Langzhi had already received the news.
He stood at the gate of the camp with a group of wolf masters and generals with a cold face, waiting for Iron Blade Xenoro to lead his army back.
When Iron Blade Xinuolo saw Lang Zhidu's expression, he knew that he was going to lose control of the army.
According to what was previously agreed, if he could not break the city within three days, Lang Zhidu would take back the command.
This is something that all the big and small wolf lords in the army know.
Now that he is planning to use the internal and external method to break the city and declare failure, it means that he has lost the command of the army.
Sighing secretly, Iron Blade Xinuolo dismounted and came to Langzhidu and saluted: "Second prince, the last general is incompetent.
The plan of combining internal and external forces failed.
Not only did the last general fail to break the city, but he also lost three thousand fine cavalry.
Please punish me, the Second Prince."
Lang Zhidu snorted coldly: "Huh, of course you have to be punished, but this is the time to employ people, so I won't hold you accountable for the time being.
I will keep you by my side, so that you can make meritorious deeds."
Iron Blade Xinoluo was a little frustrated.
He looked decadent and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, the Second Prince, for giving me the opportunity to make meritorious deeds."
Lang Zhidu nodded and said to the other big and small wolf masters: "Everyone, please rest early tonight.
Make a fire and cook early tomorrow morning.
After dinner, order all available soldiers and horses to follow me to the south gate of Panhe City to call for formation.
Iron Blade General, you find some soldiers who are sharp-tongued and good at swearing, they will be useful to the Japanese prince tomorrow."
Iron Blade Xinolo saluted and said: "Yes, Second Prince" But it was said that Panhe City was also quite uneasy at this time.
After annihilating the three thousand Tubo cavalry trapped in Ximen Weng City, Zhao Ziliang handed over the task of cleaning the battlefield to Zhang Shouyu and Wang Ruanlan, and he led a group of retinues to inspect the other three gates. , when he returned to the county government office from his inspection, Zheng San came over to report to him with a tired look on his face.

Zheng San sat on the stool next to Zhao Ziliang like a dead dog.
He picked up the kettle on the table and poured a glass of water.
He drank it in one gulp.
After drinking three glasses of water in a row, he took a breath and said, "Boss, this battle is the final battle."
He made a huge fortune and captured a total of 2,254 horses.
They are all high-quality war horses, and there are also a few bloody horses.
I have asked Wang Rao and they have inquired about them.
The cavalry of the Great Dou Army in its heyday was less than a thousand.
Now we have captured so many war horses, and those big war horses have been captured.
Although the veterans of the fighting army only have 600 real cavalry, the other Most of them can be used as cavalry, so we can form more than two thousand cavalry in a blink of an eye.
After a period of training, more than two thousand cavalry can become elites.
In addition, a large number of skins have been captured.
Armor, leather helmets, fur clothing and three thousand pieces Weapons and damaged leather armor can be reused as long as they are repaired.
Those fur clothes can also be used by soldiers.
If the soldiers are unwilling to wear them because they are ripped from the dead, we can also sell them to fur traders.
Receive a sum of money for military expenditure."
Zhao Ziliang nodded and said: "Yes, Wang rarely commanded and controlled very well on the city wall.
He made more than 2,000 Tibetan troops surrender obediently and retained so many war horses.
If we shoot them all, I'm afraid we can capture the remaining ones alive.
There are not many war horses."
Zheng San said: "Yes, by the way, I don't know what's going on with Ma Lin."
At this time, Ma Lin was leading a group of soldiers and horses to the door of Zhou Zhuchen's house.
The soldiers were all holding torches.
The torches illuminated the streets around Zhou Zhuchen's house, and the rosin on the torches made a crackling sound. .
Neighbors on both sides of the street heard such a big commotion on the street and went to the windows or opened the door to observe.
They were very surprised to see a large number of soldiers and horses surrounding Chuchen's mansion.
The fat shopkeeper of the shop opposite was behind the door and could see clearly through the crack in the door.
He muttered: "I don't know what happened to the Zhou family this time.
They were surrounded by soldiers.
It seems that the Zhou family is going to be unlucky this time."
The old woman who was cleaning the table behind her said while wiping the table: "Old man, stop looking, be careful to be seen by the soldiers.
Why do you care so much?
My family is not a good person this week.
I usually work hard to collect cattle, sheep and horses."
They bargained, but they made a lot of money, and they deserved their misfortune."
The shopkeeper couldn't help but turned around and cursed: "You damn old woman, stop saying a word.
Misfortunes come from your mouth, you don't know."
The old woman was scolded and closed her mouth and stopped talking.
At this time, shouts came from outside, and Ma Lin on horseback said loudly: "People in the Zhou Mansion, listen, Zhou Zhuochen is a spy planted by the Tubo people.
He colluded with the Tubo army to attack the city.
The door has now been captured on the spot by our army.
The people inside quickly open the door and allow the officers and soldiers to enter and search.
Otherwise, if we break through the door, we will surely leave no chickens or dogs behind."
Zhou Zhuochen's wife, children, and children definitely didn't want to open the door, but none of the servants and maids below wanted to die, so within a few seconds of Ma Lin's words, someone opened the door.
Ma Lin waved his hand, and behind him The soldiers formed two lines and rushed into Zhou's mansion.

After one-third of the soldiers rushed into Zhou's mansion, Ma Lin jumped off his horse and walked into Zhou's mansion holding the handle of his sword, followed by several captains.
After checking around the Zhou Mansion, the soldiers were searching everywhere for things related to fine craftsmanship.
All the men, women, old and young in the Zhou Mansion were gathered in the courtyard for guarding, and most of them were in disheveled clothes.
After going around in a circle, Ma Lin summoned a school captain and said: "I will leave it to you to take charge of the Zhou Mansion.
Except for the children, interrogate all the adults and men to see if they know anything about Zhou Zhuchen.
Over the years, Zhou Zhuochen must have smuggled prohibited materials and sold cattle, sheep and horses.
There is a lot of family property.
Dig out all the money and register it all.
After doing this, the general will definitely be rewarded.
But if someone is found to be hiding property and stolen goods, even if General Zhao does not pursue it, this deputy will be punished.
Wei will never let him go, do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, Lieutenant Ma, don't worry.
There are subordinates here to watch, and no one dares to reach out."
The captain hurriedly patted his chest and assured.
Ma Lin patted him on the shoulder, led several other captains out of Zhou's mansion, and quickly rushed to Ma Yukun's mansion in the county town with the remaining two-thirds of the soldiers outside.
Ma Yukun's mansion is not far from the county government office.
When Ma Lin arrived with soldiers and horses, there was quite a commotion.
Compared to Zhou's mansion, Ma Yukun's mansion was smaller, but Ma Lin knew that one should not look at things.
On the surface, Ma Yukun's mansion is much smaller than Zhou Zhuchen's, and the door is inconspicuous, but the level of luxury inside and the wealth collected are probably no less than those of Zhou Zhuchen's home.
Jumping off the horse, Ma Lin held the hilt of the knife and strode to the door of Ma Mansion.
He raised his leg and kicked the door.
Hearing a loud bang, a door was kicked down.
Ma Lin waved his hand.
Half of the soldiers outside the door broke into two teams with swords and guns and rushed into Ma's mansion.
The continuous screams of women and the screams of servants and maids soon came from Ma Yukun's mansion, and the whole Ma Yukun mansion was in a panic.
After a while, boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, copper coins, and a large number of other valuable belongings were carried out and placed in the courtyard.
The Ma family members were gathered on the left side of the courtyard, with special soldiers guarding them.
Just when the county magistrate Du Shanming heard the news, he immediately rushed over with some yamen servants.
The yamen servants were blocked by soldiers, and only the county magistrate Du Shanming was able to enter.
Du Shanming saw the family members of County Magistrate Ma Yukun being surrounded by soldiers on the left side of the yard, while some soldiers were still carrying out wooden boxes containing property from various rooms.
Du Shanming went to Ma Lin and asked loudly: "Deputy Captain Ma, what are you doing?
Why did you raid Ma County Prime Minister's house?
What happened to Ma County Prime Minister?
Do you do this?
Does General Zhao know?
Stop the soldiers quickly, otherwise I will The officer is going to argue with General Zhao."
Ma Lin has been hanging out in the market since he was a child.
He has long disliked corrupt officials like Du Shanming.
He looked at Du Shanming sideways, reluctantly raised his hands and said, "A certain person came to copy Ma Yukun on the order of General Zhao."
Mr.
Du's family, County Prime Minister Ma Yukun, together with wealthy businessmen Zhou Zhuochen, Liu Chongyang and others, gathered hundreds of private soldiers with the intention of cooperating with the Tibetan army outside the city to seize it.
The West Gate, and Zhou Zhuochen was a spy stationed by the Tubo people in Panhe County.
Ma Yukun, Liu Chongyang and others were his accomplices.
There is no doubt about this.
They were captured on the spot by our army when they robbed the West Gate.

All of his subordinates were also killed by our army.
Now do you have any questions?
Mr.
Du stopped Mr.
Du.
Could it be that Mr.
Du is also an accomplice of Zhou and Ma?"
Du Shanming was startled, backed away repeatedly, and waved his hand: "Ma Xiaowei, please don't talk nonsense.
Du admits that he is not a good person, but he will never do such a rebellious thing as betraying the country.
Since Ma Xiaowei I'm busy with official duties, so I won't bother you anymore and I'll take my leave."
Ma Lin looked at Du Shanming's retreating back and snorted coldly: "Huh, you official, don't let someone catch you":
