Chapter 52 into Liangzhou

Although Yingyi Khan had 40,000 cavalry troops at hand, most of them had already become a mess with Tang Zhangwei's troops.

When Tang Zhangwei's 300 plates of armor charged, all the Uighur cavalry of the Yingyi Khan who tried to stop them were smashed into pieces.

The cavalry units under Yingyi Khan that were formed and not dispersed were only more than 10,000 people in total, and the battle situation was dangerous.

The Yingyi Khan made a quick decision and threw all his cavalry into the battlefield, but unfortunately his efforts were not too late.

The 10,000 cavalry only delayed a little, and they were torn to pieces by the Tang army, and these poor cavalrymen were cut down to the ground by the Tang army before they had time to react.

Tang Zhangwei looked at the dead and wounded enemy soldiers, and his face showed compassion.

Wei Youji led an army of 30,000 men behind the heavy cavalry in plate armor and charged the enemy.

Seeing that the general situation had passed, Yingyi Khan immediately urged his war horse to flee out. Those who fled with the Yingyi Khan were 500 elite cavalry.

The Tang army followed him in pursuit, and it was the brave general Bai Cunxiao who led the army to pursue, but it was a pity that the Tang army he led failed to keep up with the Yingyi Khan in the end.

The Yingyi Khan eventually fled into the depths of the desert, losing the Uighur cavalry under his command and becoming a piece of meat on the board of the Tang army.

Of the 40,000 troops, 20,000 were killed, more than 19,000 were captured, and less than 300 escaped.

A month later, the city of Liangzhou was besieged by the Tang army.

In Liangzhou City, Zhang Chengfeng was terrified, and he said to his aunt Zhang Shishi: "Since Yingyi Khan entered our Liangzhou City, this Liangzhou City has been surrounded by Tang Zhangwei. ”

Zhang Shishi said: "Then let's tie up Yingyi Khan and give it to Tang Zhangwei, a bastard like him should have his head cut off a long time ago." ”

Zhang Chengfeng personally led people to surround the garrison of Yiyi Khan, and Yingyi Khan greedily ate mutton.

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside, and by the time Yingyi Khan reacted, the cavalry around him had all been tied up.

Yingyi Khan drew his sword and stood up, he wanted to resist, but Zhang Chengfeng's subordinates had already put the big knife on his neck.

Yingyi Khan said, "What do you mean by this? ”

Zhang Chengfeng said: "I will borrow your head for use." After saying that, Zhang Chengfeng's guards cut off the head of Yingyi Khan with a sword.

Back at his mansion, Zhang Chengfeng said to his aunt Zhang Shiv: "Forgive me for being impulsive and killing Yingyi Khan." ”

Zhang Shishi said: "This is a matter within the part of the Jiedu envoy, Tang Zhangwei only wants Yingyi Khan, as for him being a dead body, Tang Zhangwei doesn't care." ”

In the entire city of Liangzhou, people are panicking.

Tang Zhangwei was stationed outside the city, as if he wanted to hold here for a long time, although Zhang Cheng dedicated the head of Yingyi Khan, but Tang Zhangwei did not mean to retreat.

Zhang Chengfeng went to appease the people, but because the people lacked food in Liangzhou City, no matter how he appeased, these people did not buy it very much.

The people were so hungry that they ran out of the city.

Zhang Chengfeng killed some, but the people felt that staying in the city was starving to death, and it was better to run outside the city occupied by Tang Zhangwei, maybe they still had a chance to live.

Zhang 14 asked the soldiers who prevented the people from fleeing to open the city gate, and she said to Zhang Chengfeng: "If these people stay in the city, it will only disturb the hearts of our army, so it is better to let them out, maybe they can consume the food of the Tang army." ”

Tang Zhangwei handed over the people of Liangzhou who left the city to the care of the auxiliary combat troops.

This aspect of the matter is specially taken care of by Qin Guan'er.

Because of Tang Zhangwei's benevolence, the Tang army under his command was called the Bodhisattva Army.

Under the special guidance of Tang Zhangwei, the Tang army under his command not only did not disturb the people, but also often sprinkled and swept the courtyard for the people.

Tang Zhangwei's benevolent and righteous army besieged the city for more than a month, but Zhang Chengfeng in Liangzhou City did not surrender.

In Liangzhou City, there is no extra food. However, there were many people who did not leave the city and did not want to leave their homes.

Home is extremely important to these people. These ordinary people who stayed in the city were hungry, and they were counting on Tang Zhangwei's army to break the city.

A handful of flour and a nest head can make the people of Liangzhou City add their fists and feet.

Zhang Chengfeng said: "It's too breathless, why don't we go out and fight with Tang Zhangwei's troops." ”

Zhang Shishi said: "It's okay! ”

Zhang Chengfeng's troops went out of the city, and when the wooden gate was slowly lowered, many nobles and officials in the city stared at the reaction of Tang Zhangwei's troops.

Bai Cunxiao and Tang Zhangwei saw the Liangzhou soldiers' moves, and they prepared the archers.

At the same time, crossbow bolts and Greek fire, as well as fierce fire tanks, were also ready.

When Zhang Chengfeng's army of 10,000 was just standing firm.

Tang Zhangwei's bow and arrow shot like a tide, and the screams resounded through the sky.

Zhang Shishi sadly watched the Liangzhou sons and daughters being tied into hedgehogs, those Liangzhou soldiers did not admit defeat, they held their shields, and still rushed forward bravely.

When those people rushed to the front of Tang Zhangwei's troops, they were subjected to the design of crossbow arrows, which were simple to use and caused more damage than bows and arrows.

The Liangzhou army was very brave, and they still rushed forward.

When they approached the firing range of the fierce fire oil tank, Tang Zhangwei's hand pressed down violently, and these people all turned into barbecues.

Under the fire attack, Liangzhou had to run to the rear city with a miserable howl.

Bai Cunxiao commanded the troops and pursued the remnants with Greek fire.

Zhang Mingjian, the third son of Zhang 14, was burned to death in the chaos. Zhang Chengfeng, under the protection of the 30,000 Liangzhou troops in the city, finally fled back to the city.

The battle left Zhang Shishi's heart wrenched because she lost a son.

Tang Zhangwei's army annihilated 8,000 enemy troops, and he lost less than 100 men.

Zhang Chengfeng said to his aunt Zhang 14 with a sad face: "My aunt, we have no way to fight Tang Zhangwei's troops, their army is too fierce, and we are not opponents. ”

Zhang Shishi said: "Then negotiate the conditions with Tang Zhangwei and open the city gate to surrender." ”

Zhang Shishi is worthy of being a female politician, although she lost her son, she clearly knows that Tang Zhangwei's troops are not something she can compete with.

After a simple approach, Tang Zhangwei and the Zhang family in Liangzhou reached an agreement to retain the treatment of the Zhang family and the peace process.

Tang Zhangwei and Bai Cunxiao, as well as his brave warrior Wei Youji and others all rode into Liangzhou City.

Tang Zhangwei said to Zhang Chengfeng and Zhang Shishi: "Your Zhang family's Guiyi Army has made a contribution to the Tang Dynasty, and I have decided to keep your establishment." ”

To the surprise of Zhang Chengfeng and Zhang Shiv, Tang Zhangwei expanded the total number of the Guiyi army to 60,000.
