Chapter 536 Veteran
The sunset on the plateau is so beautiful, but the Tubo defeated soldiers gathered under Jishi City were trembling. No one knew why they were suddenly defeated by the Tang army, and then there was only a 150,000 army left.
These Tubo soldiers who fought hard all day but had no food and drink and water did not even have the strength to curse. Although they were standing in front of the city, they did not have the courage to fight the Tang army to the death.
Chen Guang, who had already joined Duan Xiushi and An Chongzhang's troops, was riding on a horse at this time. Looking at the Tubo army facing the Dangxiang cavalry in the distance, shouting and insulting but still not moving, he knew that the morale of these Tubo people had been completely destroyed.
"Master, why not pursue the victory? I see that the traitors have no fighting spirit..."
An Chongzhang couldn't help but tell the side that when he was guarding the Right Camp, the foreign gangs were extremely fierce, and the attack without regard for casualties caused many soldiers to be killed and injured.
"There are many traitors, and they really make the traitors anxious. Fighting with us to death will not be worth the loss."
Duan Xiushi said from the side that although the morale of the traitors had dispersed, they were forced to death, and it was hard to guarantee that they would not fight to the death.
"What Mr. Cheng said is deeply loved by my heart."
Chen Guang nodded. Although the Tubo people are like frightened birds at the moment, if he really ignores the army and attacks fiercely, the Tubo people will inevitably be forced to regroup.
An Chongzhang no longer spoke. At this time, he was a little clear-headed, knowing that trapped beasts would definitely fight to the death. There was no need to exchange the lives of soldiers with these desperate dogs.
"It's getting late, and the troops will go to the thieves' camp to rest, leaving only thousands of cavalry here to watch the thieves. If the thieves open the city gate, you will find an opportunity to drive the troops to attack, but remember not to be greedy for merit and fight."
Chen Guang ordered, and then led the relatives back to the Tubo camp first. Then An Chongzhang and Duan Xiushi looked at each other, An Chongzhang said, "Then I will be the one who will be the one who will be here first. I will take my sons back to repair and then take over Chenggong!"
"Brother An will go."
Duan Xiushi said in a deep voice that his qualifications in the Sailing Ye Army were limited to An Chongzhang, but he was much younger, so he respected this Hexi general who had already had some reputation in the Shuofang Army.
Soon the Dangxiang cavalry who received the military order also withdrew most of them. In the end, only Duan Xiushi led more than 5,000 troops and horses to stare at the defeated Tubo soldiers gathered outside the city.

...
On the city wall, Dazalugong licked his lips that were dry because of his tension, looked at the Tang army formation that was as solid as a rock in the setting sun, with a complicated expression on his face. Of course, he saw the main force of the Tang army swaggeringly going to the camp outside the city to repair the ignition of the smoke from the cooking stove more like a thrilling warrior in the city.
There were only five or six thousand Tang troops facing each other, but the colleagues at the foot of the city had no courage to fight with the Tang army. "Master, do you want to open the city gate?"
A close friend next to him couldn't help but say, but Dazalugong smiled bitterly, "Open the city gate, and when they rush in, the Tang army will take the opportunity to cover up and kill, and there is no need to kill under the city wall. I'm afraid that the warriors of Dafan will kill each other first!"
Tie Yan, not far away, said nothing. The Tang army was so vicious. They were going to kill the defeated troops outside the city. What's more, even if they opened the city gate, they shot several generals at the young master of the Enlan family just now, for fear that the defeated soldiers who entered the city would cause trouble for them first.
"Stay waiting. After the night, Tang Jun can't keep consuming this way!"
As the summer is about to pass, the night at Qinghaitou has become colder. Dazalugong looked at the wounded soldiers mixed in the messy group of defeated soldiers under the city wall, knowing that they might not be able to survive tonight.
"General, do you want to make some food..."
After all, someone on the top of the city couldn't bear to see the desolate tribe outside the city, but Dazalugong still shook his head, "I know you are kind-hearted, but if we really send food down to the city, we will stutter at that time..."
Dazhalugong didn't continue to say it, but everyone around understood what he meant. In order to grab food, I was afraid that it would be even more chaotic outside the city wall, and then it would give Tang Jun an opportunity to take advantage of it.
"Put down the hanging basket."
Dazhalugong ordered to his confidants beside him that there is no chance to break the Tang army's means at this moment, but someone needs to lead the troops to cut off the rear, so that the army can retreat into the city in an orderly manner.
But the generals outside the city could no longer trust Dazalugong, "Enlan's wolf cub, don't even want to trick us into climbing the city wall and ruin our lives..."
"At worst, we will surrender to the Tang Dynasty!"
Listening to the angry scolding of his colleagues hiding among the soldiers, Dazalugong felt that his lungs were about to be furious, and he was hoping that these idiots could defeat Tang Jun. He had thought that he had a chance of winning before, which was simply delusion.
"Let me go down!"
Tieyan, a veteran who had been guarding Jishi City for more than ten years, spoke slowly, "And the warriors under my command, I go to the city wall to recruit warriors to enter the city and cut off the rear. I can't let the Tang army laugh at me as there is no one in Dafan. The 70,000 to 80,000 troops were scared by thousands of people."
"Elder General!"
Dazalugong looked at the white-haired veteran with rough skin on his face as gravel as bark, but bent down, "You are a real warrior! I..."
"Needless to say, I fought a war with the Tang army all my life. It is my blessing to be able to die in the hands of the guardian Shen who killed Zhonglun and Zhulong, the Grand Marshal Zhulong!"
While Tieyan spoke, she put on his golden helmet and then roared on the city wall, "I, Dafan, only warriors who died in battle, and no cowards who are cowardly! The son of Jishi City, follow me to the city and kill the Tang army!"
Under the sunset, the roar of veterans on the walls of Jishi City echoed, and then the Tubo soldiers under Tieyan who had followed him for more than ten years roared with their chests, "Kill the Tang army! Kill the Tang army!"
The defeated soldiers under the city wall heard the roar that suddenly rang through the field. Then they looked blankly at the top of the city, and saw that under the bloody light, the old general with golden helmets and the old soldiers rode down the city wall in a basket.
"Beat the drum!"
Dazalugong yelled with red eyes, and then he snatched the drumsticks himself to cheer for Tieyan and the three hundred patriarchs who followed him down the city wall.
"I, Dafan, have no cowardly generals. Do you follow me to kill the Tang army or want to die under my knife."
Looking at the hesitant defeated generals, Tie Yan's eyes were full of evil light. Before they could speak, they waved their swords and killed them. "How dare you, old dog..." Angry cursing and wailing sounded. Tie Yan led his old soldiers to kill all the generals who had previously shouted to surrender. Then the old face covered with blood, like a Shura evil ghost, looked at the surrounding soldiers, "It's a warrior, let's follow me to kill the Tang army."
