After Zhao Ziliang ordered three hundred cavalry to be dispatched from the north gate and west gate to the east gate, he said to the messenger: "Send an order to Ma Lin and ask him to lead the first regiment of cavalry to ambush on the bank of the Datong River east of the new city.
When the Tibetan cavalry in the city escapes there late at night, he will lead his army to fight out.
How much he can capture depends on his ability."
The ordering soldier cupped his fists and bowed and agreed: "I obey."
After the messengers left, Zheng San asked with great confusion: "Brother Liang, don't you think that the Tibetan troops in the city will break out from the east gate tonight?
You have not deployed any troops outside the south gate at all.
If they want to break out, they will We should fight out from the south gate, then kill our troops guarding the Datong River Ferry and flee into what is now Datong, Changning County."
Zhao Ziliang shook his head and smiled and said: "The Art of War says: What is true is false, and what is false is true.
As long as the Tubo guard in the city has a little knowledge of military affairs, he will not dare to rush out from the south gate at will, because he knows that someone is deploying to surround three Jue Yi.
Isn't he worried that someone is outside the south gate?
An ambush was set up somewhere, just waiting for him to fall into the trap.
At the north gate is a certain Chinese army's tent, and there is a dead end to the north.
To the west is the Baishui River.
The main force of our army is commanded by Jiedushi Wang Jue. are coming here, the Tibetan army in the city Even if we escape, it will be a dead end, and we are coming from the west.
The city guard will not be so stupid.
The only choices for him are the east gate and the south gate.
Do they dare to go out from the south gate in the middle of the night?
What if they cross the crossing south of the Datong River?
bridge by me The Tubo general would not fail to take this into consideration, so his only option was to force a breakout from the east gate, then follow the southeast direction to the Datong River, and then go eastward along the Datong River to the Datong River dozens of miles away.
The ferry enters Changning County” After listening to Zhao Ziliang's analysis and deployment, Zheng San felt really sorry for the Tibetan generals in the city who arrived.
If the Tibetan army really broke out from the undefended south gate, it would be entirely possible for them to escape into Changning County safely.
As long as they were at the ferry The Tang army killed the scattered defenders before cutting the river bridge, but if the Tibetan army broke through from the east gate, it would definitely be a dead end, because no one would have thought that Zhao Ziliang did not set an ambush on the road that seemed the easiest to escape.
Late at night, on the wall of Jinmenyuan City of Xincheng, a stalwart body was leaning on the wall stacks and observing the brightly lit Tang Army camp outside the city.
The Tang Army's camp was very elegantly arranged.
The camp was five miles away from the New City.
This distance was not far, but It's not close either.
If troops are sent to raid the Tang army's camp, the Tang army will find that they have enough time to meet the enemy.
"Let's go to the south gate," the Tubo general said, turning around and descending from the tower, followed closely by several guards.
This person is clearly the Tubo general Tieren Xinuoluo who was shot in the shoulder by Zhao Ziliang with an arrow outside Panhe County.
Last time, the second Tubo prince Lang Zhidu was killed by Zhao Ziliang as the general, and Tieren Xinuoluo as the deputy general The Tubo army was severely defeated, but he was lucky enough to escape with more than 400 cavalry.
Although he escaped with his life, he was not exempt from the blame for the death of his general Lang Zhidu.
He was considered lucky and had a strong say in Tubo.
His backers tried their best to save him.
However, he was successively killed.
He was demoted three levels and became a captain.
He was left in the new city and became a cavalry captain under Dazalukong.
Iron Blade Xinolo came to the south gate tower with some retinues.
There were only two hundred people guarding the south city wall, and there were only two hundred people at the other three gates, and there were two hundred people as reserves.
After boarding the tower, two centurions came over and said, "I have met the centurions."
Iron Blade Xinuolo waved his hand and asked seriously: "Is there any movement outside the city?"
One of the centurions shook his head and said: "There was no movement.
My subordinates sent people out to investigate.
After they arrived at the ferry, they were discovered by the Tang army defenders and forced to withdraw."
Iron Blade Xinuolo asked: "How many Tang troops are there at the ferry?"
"Only fifty cavalry" A guard next to him couldn't help but said: "General, since there are no Tang troops outside the south gate, and there are only fifty Tang troops guarding the ferry, why don't we fight out from the south gate, kill the Tang troops' guards, and retreat to Changning County through the bridge?

" Hearing this, the two centurions also said: "Yes, General, we only need a thousand men, and they are cavalry.
The enemy troops have already arrived one after another, no less than four thousand, and there may be more troops and horses in the new city tomorrow and the next day."
It is definitely impossible to defend it.
Why don’t we withdraw from the south gate at this time, kill the Tang army at the ferry, and then rush into Changning?"
Iron Blade Xinuolo sighed: "Why do you think the Tang Army's leading general deployed troops outside the three gates of the east, west, north, and west, but only did not deploy troops outside the south gate?
According to the Tang Dynasty's art of war, it is said that the purpose of encircling three and attacking one is to weaken The defenders have the will to persevere, but at the same time, they can also secretly set up an ambush outside the door where no troops are deployed on the surface, just waiting for If the defenders in the city withdraw and rush out immediately, they will fall into the enemy's trap.
It's dark outside the south gate now.
Even if you send a scout to investigate, if they really want to hide, , the reconnaissance cavalry cannot detect it.
If we rush to the south gate, we may fall into a trap and the whole army will be annihilated."
As Iron Blade Signoro spoke, he observed the situation outside the city.
Although he could not see anything in the pitch black outside the city, he still hoped to be able to see something.
After observing for a while, he really saw something unusual, because it was so quiet outside the city.
This kind of silence was simply scary.
He couldn't help but said to the two centurions and several guards around him: "Now It's the end of August now.
Logically speaking, there should be frogs and insects chirping late at night in the wild at this time of year, but if you listen, there is no movement at all.
Is this normal?"
One of the centurions thought about it and said: "There must be someone outside the city.
Only when there are people, the sound of frogs and insects will stop."
Another centurion said in surprise: "There is an ambush of Tang troops outside the city."
When the centurion said this, the guards and others who had just proposed to retreat from the south gate suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
Iron Blade Xinuolo said at this time: "I estimate that the main force of the Tang Army will arrive one after another tomorrow.
There are four to five thousand people outside the city now.
We only have one thousand troops.
The difference in strength is too great.
Tomorrow they will We will attack the city, and we will not be able to defend it at all, so if we want to survive, we must force a breakout tonight."
A centurion asked: "General, when will we break out tonight and from which gate?"
Iron Blade Xinuolo said: "After an hour, break out from the east gate."
"East Gate" everyone was puzzled, and another centurion asked: "General, why did you break out from the East Gate?"
Iron Blade Xinuolo pointed to the outside of the city and said: "The Tang Army crossed the Baishui River from outside the west gate, and there must be the main force behind it.
We are seeking death by walking through the west gate.
There is an ambush of the Tang Army outside the south gate, and there is a vanguard general of the Tang Army outside the north gate.
Zhao Ziliang's camp, this man is as brave as a fox and as cunning as a fox, do you dare to attack his camp?"
Several of the retinues had escaped from Zhao Ziliang with the Iron Blade Xenoluo.
They had already been scared to death by Zhao Ziliang's bravery.
They all shook their heads in fear as they dared not confront Zhao Ziliang head-on.
"So, we can only break out from the east gate.
I hope the man named Zhao has not deployed any troops outside the east gate."
Iron Blade Xinolo said with a sigh, and his expression was shocked.
He said in a deep voice: "Send the order to all the four gates."
The soldiers and horse defenders quietly withdrew from the city wall and gathered quietly outside the east gate.
After half an hour, the east gate was opened and our army forced their way out through the east gate.
Whether they could survive or not depended on this."
Everyone immediately agreed: "Yes, General" Zhao Ziliang was camping, and several people were sitting in the tent, drinking and chatting.
Zhao Ziliang asked: "Do you think the city guard will be fooled?"
Zheng San shook his head and said: "General, it's hard to say.

If the guard in the city reacts a little too slowly and is such a fool, I'm afraid he will really come out from the south gate, and then the general's plan will be in vain."
Wang Nan smiled and said: "It's a pity that the general in the city will really fight out from the east gate and fall into the general's trap."
Everyone is confused, "why" Wang Rao raised his hand to Zhao Ziliang and said: "General, there is a news that I forgot to report to the general.
The prisoner told me that the guard in the city is our old friend Iron Blade Xinolo."
"Oh," Zhao Ziliang laughed, "I didn't expect that a few months after Iron Blade Xinolo was shot by someone, he would be alive again.
Tonight, someone wants to see if he still has such good luck.
Noor called."
The black giant Nuer outside the tent heard Zhao Ziliang's call and immediately walked into the tent and saluted: "Master" Zhao Ziliang ordered: "Go outside the east gate and join General Zhang Shouyu to block the Tibetan troops escaping from the city.
Kill every one you see."
"Yes, Master" Not long after Nuer left, a large number of Tibetan shouts of killing came from outside the east gate, "Kill, you can survive by fighting through the siege."
Everyone in the big tent stood up.
Zhao Ziliang smiled slightly and pressed his hands: "It seems that General Iron Blade Xenoro really gave him the honor to sit down.
It's no big deal.
Even if Iron Blade Xinolo is lucky this time Yes, we can still escape, but his soldiers and horses will also stay, and the new city will still fall into our hands.
Except for the east gate, the adults outside the other gates will send people to climb into the city and open the gates.
The army will enter the city.
In case of the Iron Blade Xinuolo will be in trouble if he realizes something is wrong and shrinks back."
Everyone stood up and said: "Yes, General" However, it is said that Tieren Xinuoluo led all the thousand cavalry in the city to rush out of the east gate and was stubbornly blocked by the Tang army.
After losing most of his men, he only led more than 300 people to fight his way out of the Tang army's interception. , but he himself was seriously injured.
Iron Blade Xinolo fled with more than 300 remaining cavalry all the way to the Datong River, and quickly evacuated eastward along the Datong River.
Less than two-quarters of an hour after walking, a large number of shouts of killing suddenly came from the forest on the left.
With a loud sound, an overwhelming rain of arrows shot out from the mountain forest and landed on the heads of him and the defeated soldiers behind him.
In just three rounds, more than half of his more than 300 cavalry were lost.
Seeing that the entire army was about to be annihilated, Iron Blade Xenoro immediately shouted decisively: "Jump into the river and escape from the river!"
The Tubo people live on the plateau, and many of them never take a bath in their lives, let alone swim.
Most people are afraid of the river water, but at this time, in order to survive, they don't care so much.
The remaining one hundred The rest of the cavalry made plans The horse ran towards the river, but many people on horseback were swept away by the turbulent river water after entering the water.
Iron Blade Signoro held on to the horse's neck tightly.
Little did he know that his horse was a BMW that could swim.
Carrying him tenaciously, he swam to the other side of the river
