Rear of the cavalry.

Zhang Shaoming, who was quietly watching the changes, Lin Kaiyue, found that the defenders who had stepped forward to follow the South Gate suddenly and orderly withdrew, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared at the head of the South Gate.

They looked at each other and fell into confusion for a moment.

It's good, how did Temur lead the troops to suddenly withdraw from the south gate.

Even though the cavalry army attacked fiercely and caused a lot of losses to the Turkic defenders, according to their unyielding momentum, they clearly wanted to fight to the death.

The bizarre evacuation of the army made the two puzzled.

I don't understand, I really don't understand.

However, the more bizarre the matter, the more cautious their thoughts became.

The more he believed in the secret that Temur had arranged for the deployment, he ambushed the Tang army and blocked the march of the three armies.

During the discussion between the two, Guo Xiao rode a horse from the front, and asked worriedly: "General Zhang, General Lin, and Temur led the defenders of the South Gate to suddenly withdraw into the city, what do the two generals think, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be!" ”

At this moment, the three of them all felt that Temur led the army to evacuate, but they couldn't say what the problem was.

"General Guo, Temur led a small number of soldiers to stay in the city, at present, it has been severely damaged by the cavalry army, and the sharp spirit has decreased, and the number has decreased, and it is difficult to become a climate.

The general returned as soon as possible and sent troops to blow up the city gates, and sent 5,000 advance troops into the city to find out.

Lin guessed that the worst thing was to have a street battle with Temur in the city, and the Tang army, with its superiority in armament and numbers, couldn't it completely eliminate Timur and his soldiers? ”

From the bottom of his heart, apart from street fighting, Lin Kaiyue really couldn't guess what other plans Timur had.

Otherwise, was Temur ready to flee through the northern gate with his army?

No matter how stupid a general is, he will not do this when the enemy army is besieging the city, and this move is tantamount to killing himself.

Street fighting?

Zhang Shaoming pondered when he heard it.

There are many types of street battles, and usually after siege battles turn into street battles, the battles are often very tragic.

It proves that the enemy army has a certain heart and defends the city.

"What does General Zhang think?" Finding that Zhang Shaoming was silent, Guo Xiaoqi asked.

"The city was surrendered in the siege of the defenders, according to General Lin's words, send five thousand elite soldiers into the city first, and see what kind of follow-up moves Temur has?" Zhang Shaoming was also very cautious and agreed with Lin Kaiyue's arrangement.

If Temur is ready to conduct street battles in the city, so as to try to contain the main force of the Tang army, even if the five thousand elites cannot destroy the other party, they will always be able to destroy the other party by sending more elite soldiers one after another, but Zhang Shaoming is worried that Temur has some unknown arrangements.

Victory is in sight, and the more cautious the better.

On the eve of victory, we must not underestimate the enemy and inflict serious casualties on the army.

Guo Xiaoqi heard the sound, bowed his head slightly, and said: "The two generals led the army to guard outside the city, and Guo personally led five thousand elite soldiers into the city to find out." ”

"General Guo is careful, if there is any accident in the city, order the situation to be reported as soon as possible, and Lin will personally lead the army to kill from the east gate!" Lin Kaiyue said loudly. Turned to Zhang Shaoming and said: "General Zhang, you lead the army to guard the west gate, the remaining Xiao cavalry guards the south gate, and Lin leads the troops to defend the two city gates in the northeast and northeast. ”

Boom!

When Guo Xiao rode his horse to the front of the Xiao cavalry, there was a deafening noise under the south gate, and the thick wooden door exploded and turned into pieces of wood under the bombardment of earth-shattering thunder.

Without hesitation, Guo Xiao rode and shouted: "The front army's 2,000 shield soldiers and 3,000 crossbow soldiers will personally enter the city with this general, and the rest of the soldiers will bravely defend outside the south gate." ”

The military order was issued, and in the blink of an eye, the shield soldiers and crossbowmen from all directions gathered beside Guo Xiaoqi, rode their horses and drove straight into the city.

.......

Descend inside the city.

Temur led his troops to withdraw, and the rest of the troops bravely arrived at their intended positions.

He led a hundred pro-soldiers to stand on a restaurant behind the central street, looking into the distance, staring at the south gate directly in front of him.

On the south gate, more than half of the elite casualties under his command were killed, if the Tang army did not blow up the south gate according to the plan and broke into the city, his plan fell through, and the soldiers under his command died tragically in vain.

Tangled, anxious, a loud bang suddenly came from the south, and soon, an elite iron horse like a torrent broke into the interior.

"General, the Tang army has entered the city, the Tang army has entered the city!"

Witnessing the Tang Army's iron cavalry driving straight in, as if entering a no-man's land, the deputy general clenched his iron fist tightly and shouted excitedly.

The Don army entered the city.

No matter how fierce and fierce they are during the siege of the city, once they break into the city, they don't want to retreat with their whole body.

Temur stared at the Tang army that had broken into the city in front of him, his face unwavering.

The Don Army came in.

He was eager to know who led the army and how many Tang troops had broken into the city.

If Lin Kaiyue, Zhang Shaoming, and Guo Xiao led the three armies into the city, his plan would have been an unprecedented success, and it was expected that the Tang army would be severely damaged.

If Guo Xiaocai led 50,000 Xiao cavalry troops into the city and burned it, he would still be able to avenge the tribesmen who died in the previous battle.

Watching the iron rider rush into the street, soon Temur's face fell.

The number of cavalry in the street was not large, it seemed that there were only about five or six thousand, and there were no cavalry to follow into the city.

"These cunning old foxes!"

Timur couldn't help but curse angrily, and was very unhappy in his heart.

The lieutenant noticed that he was cautious and shuttled through the streets, and the smile on his face gradually dissipated, and his expression became serious and displeased.

The Tang army was too arrogant, and in order to recover the surrendered city, it only sent a small number of iron cavalry.

As a result, Timur's plan to ambush and inflict heavy losses on the Tang army was completely frustrated.

Fighting to the death, with the help of fire oil and dry firewood, this iron cavalry was eliminated, but it also had little effect, and the gains outweighed the losses.

"General, how is this good?" The adjutant general anxiously asked, the generals of the Tang Army were cunning and did not get into the trap they had set, which was too regrettable and disappointing.

Temur's thoughts were solemn, and he was thinking about how to redeem the plan and strike a hard blow at the Tang Army.

The plan is not as fast as the change, he was very disappointed with the situation in front of him, he was extremely angry, and when he thought about it less, Temur snorted coldly and said: "What else to hesitate about, inform the army in the city, ignite the fire oil near the south gate, dry firewood, cut off the retreat of the Xiao cavalry army, you can't hit the Tang army hard, kill Guo Xiao cavalry first, and annihilate the army under his command." ”

The city was said to be big or small, and it was said that it was not small, and Temur had earlier deployed layers of defenses in the city, and the roads were fortified.

At this moment, he wanted to do his best to first eradicate Guo Xiaocai and the Xiaocai army under his command, and strive to provoke the Tang army and make Zhang Shaoming and Lin Kaiyue lead the army into the city.

In the end, the city was completely burned and as much of the Tang army's living forces as possible were destroyed.

In addition, he really had no way to lure the Tang army into the city and carry out his plan.

When the adjutant general heard this, he bowed his head slightly, and said in a loud voice: "Don't worry, the general will go in person, and Guo Xiao will never be allowed to ride out of the city alive today." ”
