The Tang Dynasty ordered the defenders not to rush and to defend carefully. Now that they had enough troops, defense was easy. Sure enough, Huo Shang could not hold on to another strong attack and was about to retreat. At this moment, Niu Sengru was the first to put on his armor. He rushed out of the formation, and behind him was Sheva, leading six thousand elite soldiers to attack.

These two generals are regarded as tiger generals everywhere. One of them is already very powerful, let alone two of them. When they rush out, they are like tigers coming down the mountain and landslides. They immediately disperse Huo Shang's team of horse thieves. Seeing the fierce momentum of the Tang army, Shang personally came to meet Niu Sengru, who was in the lead. The two were their opponents, and they fought for three rounds, regardless of the outcome. This angered Sheva who was behind him. He roared and attacked Huo Shang with Niu Sengru.

As a result, Huo Shang was unable to resist, and retreated into the arrow formation with a feint. The Tang army won a great victory, and rushed into the formation as if they were in an uninhabited country. After all, fighting relies on the momentum of the general, and many In a battle where the weak defeats the strong, only the brave leader and strong martial arts can defeat the enemy. Even Huo Shang was defeated. Even if the others were good at martial arts, their momentum was weakened and they naturally could not resist.

What's even more terrible is that the city gate is wide open, and the Tang army may rush out at any time and annihilate him in one go. In fact, how does he know that the Tang Dynasty is just bluffing and does not dare to abandon the city and attack. The Tang Dynasty currently has only Eight thousand people, and the horse thieves at the north gate had about 20,000 troops. They originally surrounded the Tang army, but because Niu Sengru and Sheva rushed out just now, Huo Shang was slightly panicked, but then he Bao Jian ordered his horse thieves to form a formation and was about to surround Niu Sengru and Sheva in Gaixin.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty in the city immediately saw that Niu Sengru and others were in danger, and ordered Long Duo to be the vanguard to attack Huo Shang's army from behind.

What Huo Shang was most afraid of was internal and external attacks, so he quickly defended with his troops and sent his generals to seize the enemy in Longdo and personally guard the formation to prevent the Tang army from impulsive formation.

On the battlefield, what the general is most afraid of is the enemy's impulsive formation, because once he is provoked, he will immediately be at a disadvantage. Often his troops are stronger than his opponent, but he cannot avoid the fate of defeat. Huo Shang has been in battle for a long time, so he naturally knows how to be impulsive by the Tang army. There will be consequences, so I personally take charge of the battle.

However, the Tang Dynasty immediately paid the money and retreated its troops back to the city. By doing so, he only created an opportunity for Niu Sengru and Sheva to seize Yunmen and contain Huo Shang. At this time, seeing that Sheva and others had already rushed away, they stopped the attack.

Huo Shang ordered his soldiers to seize the opportunity to seize the city, but arrows were flying all over the city, so how could they easily attack it?

The most powerful among them are naturally the magic arrows of Long Duo and the Tang Dynasty. The arrows are almost flawless, and the arrows are equipped with hidden power. After being hit by the arrow, they will naturally end up dead on the spot. What's even more terrifying is that , whether it hits the shield or the body, it will still shoot down the city head.

This caused Huo Shang's attacking force to suffer heavy losses, but made no progress. Countless ladders were pushed down, and hoarse shouts showed that another horse thief fell from the ladder.

And they couldn't find any better way besides using ladders to attack.

After attacking for about an hour, Huo Shang suddenly realized that it was bad, he saw the flag soldiers of Yunmen Castle rushing towards him.

At this time, he remembered that Sheva and Niu Sengru led an army of nearly 6,000 people to rush out. Why, why did they rush out like this?

The Tang Dynasty obviously would not send six thousand troops out for no reason to weaken its defensive strength. This is why.

When he saw this flag soldier, he suddenly understood: the Tang Dynasty was originally planning to build Yunmen Castle.

Sure enough, as soon as the flag soldier arrived, he said: "Inform the general that Yunmen Castle is in danger of being attacked by the enemy. Please ask for support."

As expected, Huo Shang was furious, but he was a man with excellent control after all. He immediately controlled his frenzied emotions and calmly ordered his general Cha Yi to lead 15,000 troops and horses to defend the north. Lan Yong and Blue Whale led 10,000 people to guard the gate and the south gate. He knew the situation in the Tang Dynasty city. With less than 10,000 troops, even if they came for a decisive battle, they would not cause any loss to him.

He himself personally led five thousand elite soldiers to break the siege of Yunmen.

He now knew in his heart that the purpose of the Tang Dynasty was to cut off its own food supply. How could I be so careless? Previously, I thought it was the Tang Dynasty who sent these people to rush out to ask for reinforcements, but what I didn't expect was that this guy didn't have any Not intending to escape, but to attack.

This move was indeed a big surprise. Not only Huo Shang, but also the brothers Yue Langke and Yulangke, his think tanks, did not expect that the enemy was strong and we were weak. They did not expect that the Tang Dynasty would dare to send people to attack the position it had already obtained. , isn’t that an egg hitting a rock?

But the Tang Dynasty's use of troops went in the opposite direction, which really surprised me.

No, since it was urgent, it meant that Cloud Gate Castle might really be in danger. Only then did he think that the essence of using troops is to be unexpected. He thought that this time, something might really go wrong, because at this time, he thought He met Sheva who was extremely skilled in martial arts.

I have been wondering why the Tang Dynasty released Niu Sengru and Sheva. It turns out that was the case.

Thinking of the terrifying martial arts of these two people, Huo Shang wanted to slap him in the face. He rushed out anxiously, trying to break the siege of Yunmen Castle.

But unfortunately, when he rushed to Yunmen Castle with five thousand elite soldiers, the flag of the Tang Dynasty was already hung on the high city. On the flag with red background and black silk embroidery, it said a big "Ox" "", it is obvious that Niu Sengru, the deputy governor of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty, had occupied Yunmen Castle.

Huo Shang stumbled and cursed: "Shameless rat, how dare you fight me to the death with such despicable tactics?"

But Niu Sengru and Sheva stood by the city wall, holding on to the protective barrier, smiling at each other and ignoring him.

They had just captured the city, and although they had caught the horse thieves by surprise, this was Huo Shang's key area. Most of the food, grass and baggage were in the city, which was the lifeline of his army. Naturally, they sent heavy troops to guard it. It would be a shame to command these five thousand elite soldiers. The leader of the army, Mo Sun, was a good gambler. He knew that Huo Shang was powerful and the enemy would never come to attack. Therefore, although there was a strong city, the defense was very loose. The generals gathered in the Chinese army tent to gamble and play. Dice, in fact, this cannot be blamed on Mo Sun, because the horse thief has always lived a life of drinking from a large bowl and eating large pieces of meat. He has never been subject to many restrictions. He pursues a free and unrestrained life, and some of it has been extinguished. Human nature, otherwise it would not be possible to make a profession of burning, killing and robbing, how could it withstand so many restrictions.

Although Huo Shang used his unique talents to arm this horse thief into an army, after all, the thief nature is hard to change in his heart. It is not that easy to train him into an army with strong combat effectiveness.

While Mo Sun was gambling in the army, Niu Sengru's army had quietly sneaked into Yunmen Castle. According to the instructions of the Tang Dynasty, they first controlled the grain and grass warehouses. If they could not capture Yunmen, they should at least take all the grain and grass warehouses. To burn a light.

When the Tang Dynasty was young, he often read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and learned the trick of cutting off people's food supply from Cao Cao.

By the time Mo Sun came to his senses, the Tang Dynasty army had already invaded and was spreading wildly, causing chaos in the city. However, he was the leader of the horse thieves and was used to being ruthless. He was the only one who could burn, kill and rob. How could anyone else do this? , inspired his ferocious nature, and flew to greet him first.

He happened to meet Niu Sengru, and the fight lasted only three rounds. Niu Sengru stabbed him to death with a single shot, and then killed the others.

However, the horse thieves in Huangfeng Mountain were notoriously tough and fierce. When they saw Niu Sengru killing Mo Sun, they did not panic. Instead, they resisted and started a fierce battle with the Tang army.

Fortunately, Sheva and others were led by elite soldiers from Yanmen Pass under Zhang Wenyuan. They were usually well-trained and disciplined. After the battle, they finally defeated the horse thieves. After all, although the horse thieves were all fierce, they fought without structure and were not enemies of the regular army. , coupled with the invincible bravery of Sheva and Niu Sengru, one of the horse thieves would die with one move, so the situation in Yunmen was controlled at an extremely fast speed. Except for more than two thousand people who escaped, the rest were not To die in battle is to surrender.

Fortunately, Huo Shang was unable to rescue him. If he had been a moment longer to control the situation, he would have lost hope of controlling Yunmen, because Huo Shang's reinforcements had already arrived.

Niu Sengru heard Huo Shang scolding him outside the city, and knew that he wanted to provoke him to open the city and fight him. His army had just spent a lot of effort to capture Yunmen and was already exhausted. It was absolutely impossible to fight with him. He could only fight with She. Wa Duan and the wine collided with each other, deliberately letting him see them and burst into laughter.

Huo Shang was furious. He held up his iron bow and shot three arrows, which shot up to the top of the city like meteors. After all, although Yunmen's city was strong, it could not be compared with Anxi's Protectorate. The city wall was not very high, and Huo Shang's inner strength It is so powerful that the arrow can naturally reach far.

Niu Sengru sneered, turned the wine glass in his hand, opened his bow from left to right, and gently covered the incoming arrow. Sheva did the same and covered an arrow, as if he had caught three ants.

Huo Shang knew there was nothing he could do and cursed loudly. Then Niu Sengru shouted: "Scold me!"

More than a dozen scolders around him immediately began to curse, hurting three generations of Huo Shang's ancestors. Moreover, each of these scolders had loud and clear voices, which immediately drowned out Huo Shang's voice.

-------------------------------------------------- --------------------------

Huo Shang knew that it was useless. Now he was attacking the city with eggs and stones. He had no choice but to lead five thousand men and horses to meet up with the men and horses who had passed by. He knew that the food and grass had been occupied and the supply lines were cut off. It was like being choked by someone, which made him feel very uncomfortable. , but there was no good plan for the moment. I wanted to capture the Anxi Governor in a devastating situation and control the Silk Road, but I didn't expect to encounter such difficulties.
