"Go ahead" "Kill" A wave of shouts of killing swept through.
Since the city wall was in front of them, the cavalry could not turn around after attacking.
It was of little use and was in the way.
Therefore, the Tang Army's cavalry did not move.
The densely packed Tang Army infantry, led by their respective generals, rushed towards the city.
Tubo army.
It was a real sea of people.
A thousand Tubo troops were already in panic after the death of Xinong Shen.
They had no master.
Although Commander Kuba tried his best to stabilize the position, the killing of their leader had caused these Tubo troops to lose their courage and their fighting spirit.
The army has no combat power at all.
Before the Tang Dynasty could rush over to fight, a thousand Tubo troops had already begun to collapse.
The captain tried his best but could only gather more than 200 people into a small defensive formation.
The other Tubo troops fled in all directions and were being chased by the Tang army.
Although Kuba's ability is limited, he also knows that running away in panic at this moment can only lead to death, and it is impossible to open the city gate at this time in the city.
Opening the city gate at this time is tantamount to opening it for the Tang army.
Once it is opened, The city gate was blocked Tang Jun took advantage of the situation and rushed in, so he could only hold the more than 200 people he could control at the city gate, but he knew that he and the more than 200 people would inevitably die, but they would just die in a more beautiful way, not He was chased from behind and killed.
As the Tang army approached the city wall to pursue the escaping Tibetan troops below the city, the Tibetan troops on the city wall began to fire arrows sparsely, but the damage was limited and many of their own people were accidentally injured.
Wang Jue, who was sitting on his horse and did not move, saw a thousand Tibetan troops in the city being charged by Tang troops after Xinong Shen died, and collapsed on the spot.
Only about 200 people were in a defensive formation under the command of a Tibetan general.
He sighed.
Said: "Send these people on their way, send the order, the archers are ready."
Thousands of archers received military orders and formed a neat formation to approach the more than 200 Tibetan troops under the city wall, and stopped at an arrow's distance.
The Tang army issued an order again, and all the Tang troops who were besieging the two hundred or so Tibetan troops dispersed, leaving an area vacant.
Since there were Tang troops surrounding them blocking their view, Kuba and his two hundred or so men still did not understand why these besieging Tang troops dispersed. , and saw arrows falling from the sky as densely packed as locusts.
Bowser and all his men's arrow eyes widened with fear in their eyes and despair on their faces.
After a round of arrow rain, there was not a single living person standing under the city.
The corpses fell to the ground.
Arrows were densely stuck on the ground and corpses like seedlings.
Some of the Tibetan army's horses fell to the ground with arrows stuck in their bodies.
Let out a feeble cry.
An hour later, the fleeing Tibetan troops were killed or captured, and the pursuing Tang troops returned to their formation one after another.
Wang Jue kept stroking his long beard.
Seeing the soldiers returning one after another with prisoners in custody, he asked the generals on his left and right: "Generals, what should we do now?"
Li Hongding, the governor of Shazhou and the envoy of the Doulu Army, held up his hands and said: "Commander, what else can you say?
Let's attack the city directly.
Now that the Tibetan army has lost their courage, and the city wall is not high, as long as our army pounces on it, we will definitely be able to attack it within a day."
Enter the city" Zhao Ziliang stepped forward on his horse and bowed his hands in salute, saying: "Master Li's suggestion is good, but the commander-in-chief also said it just yesterday, the art of war says: attack the city first, attack the city first, and the general will think it is better to send people forward to persuade them to surrender.
If the Tibetan army in the city Surrender, our army will be able to capture the Aqueduct Bend without spending a single soldier.
If the opponent does not surrender, it will not be too late to attack the city at that time."
After hearing what Zhao Ziliang said, Li Hongding was extremely unhappy.
He said: "General Zhao, when Xinong Shen was killed, didn't you say that we could defeat the Tibetan army by sending troops immediately, and then attack the city in a large scale, and we would be able to defeat it in one battle?"
, and now you say you want to persuade me to surrender first, why do you say everything?"
Zhao Ziliang didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr.
Li has a deep prejudice against me.

Mr.
Li is not bad, but now and then, the situation has changed again.
Although the Tibetan army at the top of the city has been completely disorganized, its defense is still in disarray.
There have been no loopholes.
Our army is bound to pay some casualties when attacking the city.
If we can persuade them to surrender, why bother to pay more lives?
The two commanders are not subordinate to each other.
If we persuade them to surrender, they may have disagreements, which will lead to internal problems.
What's wrong with waiting for them to fight internally?
If we attack the city now, the two commanders and their men will inevitably unite.
They will deal with us unanimously, and it won’t take much time to persuade them to surrender.
If the opponent does not surrender within the specified time, we will attack the city again before it is too late.”
Wang Chui also felt that Zhao Ziliang's suggestion was reasonable.
It was just to persuade him to surrender.
It really didn't take much time.
He immediately said: "Okay, first persuade us to surrender.
If that doesn't work, then we can attack the city.
Who is willing to persuade us to surrender?"
The generals did not move.
Fighting was their skill, but persuading them to surrender was not something ordinary people could do.
Zhao Ziliang had a way to persuade the Tibetan troops in the city to surrender, but he did not want to express himself too much, lest the governors and military envoys of these states see his merits.
Big, unhappy with him.
At this time, the judge Wang Wei cupped his hands and said: "Commander, if you can trust me, let me give him a try."
Wang Jue was overjoyed.
For civil servants, once they take the initiative to ask for help, they are 70% or 80% sure of the matter.
Generally, there will be no surprises, because civil servants consider the issues carefully, especially when they are envoys and lobbyists.
They think about it in advance.
Only when you know all the possibilities when facing the other party and have ways to deal with them can you be confident.
"Hahaha, sir, if you take action, you will definitely be able to persuade the Tubo people in the city to surrender.
Then there will be Mr.
Lao Wang."
After saying that, Wang Chui immediately asked someone to prepare the staff for Wang Wei to take with him.
Wang Wei held the reins in one hand to control the horse and held the staff in the other as he walked towards the city.
After Wang Wei left holding the staff, Wang Jue asked: "Do you think Judge Wang can successfully persuade him to surrender?"
Zhao Ziliang cupped his hands and said: "Commander, since Mr.
Wang has taken the initiative to ask for help, he must be sure of it.
Commander, don't worry."
When the others saw what Zhao Ziliang said, they didn't speak.
At this time, it was still too early to say whether they could successfully persuade him to surrender.
The dust could only be settled when the results came out.
The Tang army's military formation was one kilometer away from the city wall.
Wang Jue, Zhao Ziliang and others could not hear clearly what Wang Wei was saying below the city to the Tubo army on the city.
It didn't take long before they saw what seemed to be a fight on the city wall.
This was inside the Tubo army.
The fighting was not large in scale and some people were killed, but the killing soon stopped.

Half an hour later, Wang Wei was seen returning from riding.
Before Wang Wei could speak, Wang Jue asked: "Sir, what's the matter?"
Wang Wei cupped his hands and said: "Commander, the Tubo troops in the city have surrendered under the persuasion of the lower officials.
Most of those Tubo troops are not Tubos, but Tuyuhun people.
However, there are Tubo supervisors among them.
They were just in a certain position."
Under the persuasion, Tugu The Hun soldiers killed the Tubo supervisors, and they agreed to surrender, but they had two demands: first, the two commanders Xi Qin and Moro must continue to lead the troops; second, after surrendering, their treatment must be the same as The Tang army is united and cannot be treated differently."
These two requests were completely within the scope of what Wang Jue could agree to.
He did not ask other people's opinions and said directly to Wang Wei: "Okay, I agree.
I will also ask you to go there again and tell them that I agree to them."
According to the request, I will report to the court and appoint Xi Qin and Moro as guerrilla generals, each leading a troop of troops."
Wang Wei agreed: "Promise" After Wang Wei left, the generals breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the Tubo army opened the city gate, it would be impossible for them to go back on their word.
Even now, after they killed the Tubo supervisors, they had no other choice.
The only way is to join the Tang army.
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said to Wang Jue: "How does the commander plan to arrange them?"
Wang Jue smiled slightly and asked, "How does General Zhao think they should be placed?"
Zhao Ziliang cupped his hands and said: "Commander, if Xi Qin and Moro are allowed to continue to command the original troops, the commander's control over them will be very weak.
Those soldiers and horses are their tribesmen, and they are very powerful under their command."
For a long time, I will only listen to the two of them.
Order, they may rebel again at any time.
The general has two suggestions for the general's reference: first, keep their original troops stationary, but mix a large number of Han soldiers and Han generals into their respective troops.
Break up the original organization and reorganize it, The supervisors are sent to assist them, which can weaken their control over the soldiers and horses under their command, and the supervisors and Han generals supervise them, so they do not dare to rebel at will, and they only need to keep a close eye on them.
Second, transfer them and allow them to do so.
They took a small number of retinues to take up their posts elsewhere, leaving behind These Tuyuhun soldiers under the command were sent to be commanded by another person.
As long as he promised to treat them equally with other Tang troops and receive the same treatment, the commander-in-chief would not have violated his promise.
However, this method clearly made him feel uneasy about them.
I am afraid that they would be unhappy in their hearts.
Comfortable”.
Wang Jue asked the others: "What do you think?"
Yang Jingshu, the envoy of the Chishui Army, said: "Commander, they are not of my race, and they must be guarded against.
Even if there is a suspicion of distrusting them, so what?
As long as the commander does not break his promise, it will be fine.
According to what General Zhao said."
The two methods are best to implement.
If the two of them disobey in the future, the commander can kill them at any time."
After hearing this, other officials and generals all agreed, saying that they should not be too trusting and should be on guard against Xi Qin and Moro.
Wang Jue finally listened to everyone's suggestions and decided to adopt the second method.
However, this matter could not be leaked, especially not by Xi Qin and Moro.
He said seriously: "What we just discussed, everyone You must keep your mouth shut.
If I find out that someone has leaked the information and it causes unnecessary trouble, I will definitely kill you."
Everyone agreed in unison: "No" Xi Qin and Moro finally opened the city gates and led their troops out of the city to surrender.
They killed the Tibetan supervisors and their Tibetan soldiers.
They had no choice, otherwise they would be tolerated by both sides and die without a burial place.
Surrendering to the Tang army was the only way to survive
