Getting the news that the city gate had been deceived open, Li Zhong was immediately overjoyed, and immediately waved thousands of troops towards the Broken Dragon Castle to kill the past, a few miles away, but in a moment, it was already there, under the city gate, the sound of killing shook the sky, Marven and others were forced to keep retreating, and they were about to be killed out of the city, Li Zhong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly urged the war horse, and rushed towards the city gate with a roar, "Marven get out of the way." ”

Cavalry charge, block death! After Li Zhong shouted, thousands of cavalry behind him also shouted, the sound shook the heavens and the earth, Marven turned around, he was covered in blood, his face was already full of excitement, grabbed a soldier next to him and pushed it aside, and shouted loudly: "The big marshal is here, get out of the way." ”

With the continuous arrival of reinforcements, there are already more than 1,000 Tubo soldiers at the city gate at this time, seeing that Marven will be killed out of the city, Silang Tsoma is already relieved in his heart, but unfortunately with a few roars, a large number of cavalry in the distance with the murderous aura of the sky have rushed over, Silang Tsoma's mind that has just been relieved suddenly changed greatly, and his face is even more gray to the extreme.

The defeat was irreversible, with the impact of the cavalry, the Tubo soldiers under the city gate were suddenly rushed to pieces, and the Tubo soldiers who were killed retreated again and again, and finally scattered and fled.

Li Zhong rushed into the city on horseback, divided 1,000 troops to Marven, guarded the city gate, waited for the follow-up troops to arrive, and then led more than 2,000 soldiers to take advantage of the situation to fight into the city.

Just when Tubo and Anbei general Hong Chenghao were facing each other, Li Zhong surrendered to Cai Chengcheng, who became a guide and responded to the inner response, deceived the city gate, took Broken Dragon Fort in one fell swoop, and copied the back road of Tubo.

Three days passed quickly.

The third day of June.

Huang Xu, who was in Taozhou, got the news that Li Zhong had taken the Broken Dragon Fort, and his spirit was shocked, and the news was immediately spread, and the morale of the three armies was greatly boosted, and then, Huang Zhen left 10,000 soldiers to defend the city, led the remaining 30,000 soldiers, marched into Lanzhou, and joined forces with Hong Chenghao, a total of 120,000 troops, and forced Langzhou, this battlefield, the strength of the Jin Dynasty has exceeded that of Tubo.

Tubo Zampu, who learned the news, was shocked, and while blocking the news to prevent the soldiers of the three armies from losing their fighting spirit, he hurriedly sent people to Huizhou, and urgently ordered Delong Pickaokang to immediately lead the army back to help.

Broken Dragon Fort.

In the battle in the middle of the night of May 30, the main general Silang Tsoma was killed in the chaos, and most of the 5,000 defenders were killed in the battle, and less than 2,000 Tibetan soldiers remained.

"Commander, the soldiers have been assembled."

Someone came to report.

Li Zhong nodded, the next target is Langzhou, the Broken Dragon Fort has fallen, the grain and grass materials have been destroyed, and Tubo will definitely fight to the death, otherwise he can only be trapped in Longyou, and there will be no life or death, so it is necessary to rush before Tubo acts, and give it a fatal blow.

"Dashuai, Cai Cheng is here."

Cai Cheng walked closer, bowed his hand and said, "Dashuai, you are looking for me." ”

Li Zhong nodded and chuckled: "I will leave five thousand soldiers to garrison Broken Dragon Castle, who do you think is the most suitable general?" ”

Cai Cheng felt a little inexplicable, such a question, Li Zhong would ask himself, how did he answer it? In this Jin army, he only knew Li Zhong and Marven, and none of the rest were familiar with it.

"Everything has its own commander's decision, how dare the last general talk nonsense!"

Cai Cheng, as a general who had just taken refuge, dared to talk nonsense.

Li Zhong smiled faintly: "This main general, it's up to you to do it, how about it?" ”

Cai Cheng was stunned, and said involuntarily: "I'll do it?" Did you believe me? ”

After saying that, Cai Cheng felt that he had said the wrong thing, how could he say such a sensitive topic casually? I wanted to explain, but I didn't know what to say, and my face suddenly turned red.

Li Zhong said lightly: "Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious, this is my Li Zhong's consistent style of employing people, let me ask you, this main general, do you dare to do it?" ”

Looking at Li Zhong's sincere face, Cai Cheng had a strong warm current in his heart, his eyes suddenly turned a little red, he knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The last general will take the order." ”

Li Zhong helped him up, said take care, and then turned to leave.

"Dashuai, not long after Cai Cheng surrendered, did you hand over such an important place to him, isn't it .....?"

Cai Cheng only surrendered yesterday, and Li Zhong let him serve as the chief general of Broken Dragon Fort today, in Marven's opinion, is it a little rash.

Li Zhong smiled: "If you don't treat each other with sincerity and fellowship with your heart, how can Cai Cheng really obey us?" ”

Cai Cheng smiled bitterly, I don't know what to say, but if you think about it, you can understand, whether the handsome is employing people or doing things, when has he ever been in a proper manner?

Besieging Huizhou's Delong Pickles, after losing tens of thousands of soldiers, learned that the situation in the rear had changed, Zampuni Songmagon even issued seven gold medal arrows in a day, so that he immediately retreated back to Langzhou, seeing that Huizhou was about to be breached, but the great opportunity could only be lost from his hands, Delong Pickled Kang looked up to the sky and sighed, and finally could only order the withdrawal of the army.

Delong Pickle Kang can't help but withdraw the army, Langzhou is in danger, even if he breaks through Huizhou, robs more wealth, and makes outstanding military exploits, if Zampu has any mistakes, in the end, Delong Pickle Kang can only pay for his life, and even his family will be hit tragically.

Delong Pickle Kang withdrew, Yu Wenzhen did not lead the army to take the opportunity to pursue, he had only one task, that is, to hold Huizhou.

The final decisive battle is coming, the minds of both sides are mentioned to the highest point, this battle is of great significance, whether it is for Li Zhong or for Tubo Zampuni Song Magon, it is extremely important, if Li Zhong is defeated, Longyou is lost, Anbei will also be in danger, if he wins, he will defeat Tubo, so that he will not dare to offend the Jin Dynasty for at least ten years, and he will have the opportunity to take advantage of the civil strife in the Dashi Empire and the great opportunity of the weak soldiers in the Western Regions to wave his troops to the west, and recapture the land of the other seven states of Longyou that have been lost for many years in one fell swoop. Even if he can return to Tibet alive, he will no longer have any right to speak, and I am afraid that he will become the weakest authority among the Tibetan dynasties, and such a result will inevitably lead to civil strife in Tibet.

Liangzhou City.

The battle situation in Langzhou may be tragic, but Li Xun seems to be quite relaxed here, since the sneak attack of Tubo that night, after a big battle, the next few days have been calm, and there has been no war.

That night's battle, the 20,000 troops in Ma Wu's hands did not lose anything, the real loss was Li Xun's troops, or the army of Shan Qiu and Mao Anfu, 10,000 soldiers, after a fierce battle overnight, nearly half of the casualties were lost, which can be described as very tragic, and therefore, during this time, Ma Wu was very close to Li Xun and others, and personally wrote to the court, spoke to the emperor, and asked for credit for them.

In the fierce battle between Li Xun and Tubo at close range, he was slashed in the back, but fortunately it was only a skin injury, and he has been recuperating in Liangzhou City for the past few days.

In the courtyard, Li Xun sat there drinking tea, watching with interest as Jiang Daxiong practiced martial arts there.

At this time, Shan Qiu and Mao Anfu arrived.

Li Xun looked at them and saw that the faces of both of them were not very good.

"The brothers who died in the war have been buried?"

Mao Anfu nodded silently and said, "The burial has been completed, and the roster has been sorted out." ”

Li Xun patted him on the shoulder, these people have followed Mao Anfu for many years, born and died, and have never been afraid, now that so many people have died in battle, how can Mao Anfu not feel uncomfortable in his heart.

"I only hope that the imperial court can give more bereavement benefits for their sake of sacrificing their lives for the country, so that their relatives in their families will be better." Shan Qiu sighed and said that his five thousand infantry losses were smaller, less than two thousand.

Li Xun said: "The Metropolitan Governor told me that the thousands of Tibetan soldiers captured this time will be returned to Tibet in the form of compensation, and all the property obtained at that time will be given to us and used as compensation for the soldiers who died in battle. ”

"That's the best."

Hearing this good news, Shan Qiu and Mao Anfu finally had a smile on their faces.
