Yang Ben rode on horseback and looked at Xiping City in the night.
After observing it for a while, he ordered: "Send an order to send two thousand infantrymen to each of the other three city gates to block the city gates.
No sound is allowed.
No Tibetan soldier is allowed to escape."
"Nuo" Duan Xiushi agreed with his fists raised, and immediately went to make arrangements.
Soon six thousand infantrymen left on horseback, heading to the South Gate, North Gate and West Gate respectively.
Half an hour later, Zhao Ziliang waved forward, and the entire army slowly approached the east wall.
He waved again, called Xuan Shiba and ordered: "Your Huya Army has been practicing for a long time, it's time to put it to real use. , take your Huya Army to seize the city gate.
After opening the city gate, raise fire at the city gate as a signal.
Don’t let me down."
Xuan Shiba cupped his fists and said solemnly: "Commander, don't worry, if the Huya Army cannot seize the city gate, they will eventually come to see you."
"Well, if we can complete the mission this time, the task of reconnaissance outposts in the future will be handed over to your Huya Army.
At this time, it is your duty to let my soldiers do this.
It is still a bit reluctant.
After all, most of them have never done it.
"Reconnaissance Cavalry" "promise" There are a total of 500 people in the Huya Army.
Li Siye took away 100 people, Chu Ge took away 100 people, and Zhao Ting also took away 100 people.
There are still 200 people in the main army.
This time they all took Coming.
Xuan Shiba summoned his 200 soldiers and divided them into three echelons.
The first and second echelons were responsible for climbing and attacking, and the third echelon was responsible for covering with repeated crossbows.
At first, they were far away, so Zhao Ziliang and others did not notice that there were Tubo soldiers standing guard and patrolling on the city wall.
However, Xuan Shiba and his soldiers went under the city wall and discovered that there were actually Tubo soldiers standing guard on the city wall, but now Late at night, the Tibetan soldiers standing guard fell asleep leaning against the city wall.
Throwing the climbing hook would make a sound.
Xuan Shiba was worried that this would alert the sentry on the city wall.
He thought for a while and made a series of gestures to the team officers around him.
The team officers quickly understood what he meant.
"Go up."
As Xuan Shiba waved his hand, the soldiers of the Huya Army went to the ground of the city wall one after another.
Ten strong soldiers formed a circle and held hands, and eight more soldiers stepped on their shoulders and stood with their hands.
Two layers of human ladders were formed on their shoulders.
After these people stood firm, six more soldiers climbed up from below, stepped on the first layer of human ladders, climbed up to the second layer of human ladders, and then formed the third layer of human ladders.
Then four more soldiers climbed up to form the fourth level of human ladder.
The fifth level of human ladder was composed of two people.
The two people stepped on the human ladder and climbed up the human wall, and then hooked the city wall with iron hooks.
Two ropes were put down on the wall.
One of them pulled out a dagger and touched the two Tibetan soldiers who were napping.
The other soldiers continued to put down more ropes for the comrades below to use the ropes to climb up the city wall.
Five minutes later, Xuan Shiba climbed up the city wall with more than 200 Huya Army soldiers.
He walked to the front and pulled out the sword from his waist, while asking Xiao Ma, the soldier who climbed the city wall first: "The city tower and the city tower How is the situation down there?”
Xiao Ma squatted next to the city tower and whispered: "A hundred people are sleeping in the city tower.
There is no one in the city gate.
According to the size of the barracks under the city wall, there should be 400 people.
There are people standing guard and patrolling in front of the barracks."
Xuan Shiba thought about it for a while, and then gave an order with a gesture, leaving fifty people to deal with the one hundred Tubo troops in the city gate tower.

These people are the ones who control the city gate and the suspension bridge.
Only by dealing with these people can the city gate be opened. , and he took the remaining people to deal with the provocateurs in the barracks and guard the entrance to the city gate after the city gate was opened and the drawbridge was lowered.
The two hundred Huya troops quickly separated.
Fifty people escaped and entered the city tower to kill a hundred Tubo troops who were sleeping.
Xuan Shiba took the remaining one hundred and fifty people and slowly climbed down the city wall to the city.
Next to the entrance of the door, he assigned fifty people to guard the entrance and After opening the city gate and lowering the drawbridge, he lit a fire to notify the main army outside the city.
He divided the remaining 100 people into two teams.
One team was led by him personally to attack the barracks under the left city wall, and the other team was led by his deputy.
Attack the barracks under the wall on the right.
Everyone moved lightly.
Xuan Shiba looked at the two sentries in front of the barracks door on the left and a group of four patrols walking back and forth.
Then he waved to the soldiers behind.
Several soldiers slowly He slowly stepped forward, squatted down, took out his repeating crossbow, pointed it at several sentries and patrol Tibetan soldiers at the door of the barracks, and pulled the trigger.
"Swish, swish, swish" as a wave of crossbow arrows were shot out, several Tibetan soldiers fell in a pool of blood in front of the barracks door.
"Go" Xuan Shiba waved his hand and took the lead with a horizontal knife and entered a barracks.
The others entered a barracks according to their needs and groups.
The killings soon took place silently in each barracks.
A bloody smell soon emitted from the barracks.
The five hundred Tibetan troops stationed near the east city gate were killed silently without making any noise.
The city gate and the suspension bridge made a creaking sound.
As the city gate was fully opened, a soldier lit a torch with a flint and Standing at the city gate and waving constantly.
When Zhao Ziliang saw the swaying firelight at the city gate, and without any shouts of killing, he knew that Xuan Shiba and the Huya Army had quietly eliminated the 500 defenders at the city gate.
He immediately turned to Duan Xiushi and said, "Give me the order.
All units entered the city in order.
After entering the city, the first battalion went to the south gate, the second battalion went to the north gate, and the third battalion went to the west gate.
The others followed me to the prefect's mansion and nearby military camps."
"promise" The army quietly entered the city without alerting the Tibetan troops in the city.
It was not until the defenders at the north, south, and west gates, the governor's mansion, and the Tibetan troops in the military barracks in the city were all besieged in their barracks that they found out that they were in a desperate situation.
Zhao Ziliang rode his horse to the gate of the prefect's mansion under the guard of the generals.
A group of Tibetan soldiers and a Tibetan general were escorted out.
A captain came forward and reported to Zhao Ziliang: "Commander, we have captured the Tibetan general Tashi Mai and the two hundred guards of the prefecture.
We don't know where these prisoners will be detained."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a moment and then ordered: "Give me the order.
All captured Tibetan prisoners will be detained in the military camp in the city to wait for disposal.
Bring this Tashi Mao here and take the others away."
"promise" Pairs of Tibetan soldiers were taken away.
The Tibetan general Zha Ximai was tied up and escorted by two Tang army soldiers to Zhao Ziliang.
Zhao Ziliang looked at the guy and asked in Tubo: "Where is Dazalukong?"
How many troops are there in Linqiang?
The leader of the Tubo Kingdom, Xisongde, is still in the army."
Hearing this, Zashimai turned his head to the side and snorted: "Huh, I, Zashimai, am a real man.
I will never betray Zampu and the Tubo Kingdom."
Zhao Ziliang's face was stern, and murderous intent emerged in his eyes.
He stretched out his hand and pulled out his waist knife and slashed it.
Blood splashed out from the knife.

Zashimai's head rolled to the ground, and his body also fell to the ground.
He continued to draw out a large amount of blood.
Squirts out from the broken neck.
Zhao Ziliang put the waist knife back into the scabbard and shouted loudly: "Order all battalions to close their four gates.
From now on, the Huya Army will take over the affairs of the reconnaissance cavalry and sentry posts.
They will disperse around the outside of the city and go to Linqiang to inquire about the military situation of the Tibetan army.
The fourth battalion will Mr.
Wang is responsible for patrolling the streets in the city.
You will write a notice to calm the people and send someone after dawn.
Beat the gongs and drums to announce to the people in the city that Xiping City has returned to the imperial government.
Under Cen Shen, you are responsible for collecting all the materials in the city that can be used to defend the city, and after dawn, send people to the mountains outside the city to cut down trees to make rolling logs and crafts.
The trebuchet moved the bed, crossbow and other defensive equipment to the west city wall and installed them."
The terrain in the west is higher.
If the Tibetan army comes to attack the city, they will definitely attack the west gate and west wall, and will not choose to attack the city from the other three walls.
Cen Shen and Wang Wei handed over their hands and agreed: "I obey."
Erzhu, the commander of the escort army, clasped his fists and asked: "Commander, what to do with the captured Tibetan prisoners?
The news that Xiping City has been recaptured by our army cannot be kept secret for long.
After the Tubo Marshal Dazalugong learns of it, he is likely to attack with a large army.
Then At that time, our army also sent people to guard the prisoners.
If the prisoners made trouble, I'm afraid there would be big problems."
After hearing Er Zhu's words, Zhao Ziliang pondered for a moment and said coldly: "Send an order to take the Tibetan prisoners to the military camp in the city and execute them all.
No one will be left alive, and the bodies will be dragged outside the city and buried overnight."
Zhao Ziliang has long understood the principle of not being in charge of soldiers.
Although he does not agree with killing prisoners, the notoriety that killing prisoners needs to bear is insignificant compared with the safety of the entire army and the overall situation of the Western Expedition.
"Follow your orders" No one stood up to persuade him, and he knew that he could not be persuaded.
Once Zhao Ziliang made a decision, it could not be changed.
After all, it was related to the lives and fortunes of fifteen thousand people.
No one dared to bear this responsibility.
After dawn, Zhao Ziliang walked out of the backyard of the prefect's mansion.
The city had become lively.
The people in the city came out of their homes when they learned that the Tang army had recaptured Xiping City.
Many people gave food and drink to the officers and soldiers.
Troops were sent out to cut down trees and quarry stones outside the city.
In order to speed up the collection of materials to defend the city, Zhao Ziliang asked Wang Wei to mobilize the people to go out of the city to cut down trees and collect stones.
The people in the city learned that the Tibetan army was ready to attack at any time.
It is possible to come They attacked the city, and the city lacked supplies to defend the city.
Therefore, they followed the army out of the city to cut down trees and collect stones, and drove ox carts, horse carriages, and mule carts out of the city.
Soon there were ox carts, horse carts, and mule carts coming in a steady stream.
Stones and wood were brought from outside the city Zhao Ziliang was nervously arranging and deploying city defense matters.
A soldier came over with a dusty face and clasped his fists to report: "Commander, the third wife sent a servant to announce the good news to the commander.
The fourth wife and the second young wife gave birth at the same time.
The fourth wife gave birth to a baby.
The fourth lady and the second young lady both asked the commander to name their child."
"Have you given birth?"
Zhao Ziliang said with a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "The girl will be called Qingqing, and the grandson will be called Zhenfan.
You should take a rest first, eat something, and then go back and tell the third and fourth ladies. and the second young lady, let them rest well, and I will go back to see them after I put down the Tubo rebellion."
