The guy who was remembered by the guards was a centurion in Tubo, and it was this thing that caused an unhealable wound to Yu Mohan's chest and abdomen on the Gansong Ridge, so that Yu Mohan died in the Gansong Ridge, and in this case, the centurion was rewarded by 100 horses and 100 cattle from Songtsen Gampo.

"Datang people, do you know how your deputy general Yu died? It was Lao Tzu who killed it, and it was Lao Tzu who stabbed this spear into his stomach with his own hands! The Tibetan centurion, who was so nervous, had no idea that he had been remembered by a few fellows who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and he held up a spear and dangled in front of the two armies, chattering and shouting.

"Aim more accurately, you must be accurate, if you surprise him, I guess I won't come again next time." The guards stood behind the crossbowman, rubbing their hands together so nervously that they didn't even hear what the guy was saying.

"Don't be verbose, can you be responsible for beating the crooked?" The crossbowman was a little annoyed by the nagging, and after turning back to the guard, he turned back and adjusted the direction of the bed crossbow slightly.

Until at some point, the crossbowman's eyes suddenly changed, and he stepped on the bracket under his feet.

The "Buzz ......" bed crossbow made of three steel crossbow arms emitted a heart-chilling hum, and a huge crossbow gun with a wrist-thick five or six feet long shot out with an afterimage.

"The ...... of the Tang Dynasty" The Turkic centurion turned the horse's head again in a fixed place out of habit, and as soon as he said three words of mockery, he swept a black light in the afterglow.

What is it? The thought of doubt had just risen, blood was splashing, and after the huge crossbow spear smashed the horse's head, with a strong inertia, it plunged headlong into the chest of the Tibetan centurion who was still bragging just now, and carried his whole person into the air, falling more than ten steps away.

"Datang, Wansheng, Wansheng!" The power of a crossbow is so powerful that tens of thousands of Datang soldiers who are lining up to defend can't help but boost their morale.

However, compared with the excited soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo people all had chills in their backs.

Are these Tang people crazy? Against a centurion, how can you use such a large crossbow arrow? And isn't it just scolding? Who is not like this on the battlefield, the two sides provoke each other, and finally go on the field to tear and kill, why do you let go of the cold gun silently? And the ballista seems to be used for siege, right? How can it be used against people? What a waste.

The few guys who were still in the middle of the battlefield just now ran away almost instantly, leaving no chance for the other crossbowmen of the right leading guard. And the Tubo Formation, which had been making endless noise, was also silent at this time, and everyone looked at the dead unlucky guy blankly, not knowing what was going on in their hearts.

"The enemy's heart has been lost, the right leader guards, the whole army, press up!" Niu Jinda, as a veteran of a hundred battles, naturally would not miss this opportunity to suppress the enemy, and at the moment when the Tubo people calmed down, he commanded his general flag to move forward.

"The Tang Army Formation, kill, kill, kill!" With Lao Niu's order, the neat phalanx began to move.

With the shield in front, the spearmen in the center, and the crossbowmen and archers at the end, a complete infantry army array pushed towards the Tibetan cavalry army little by little. One step, two steps...... One hundred steps, two hundred steps, as the distance between the two sides continued to shorten, the Tibetans began to retreat continuously.

The distance was too short, the advantage of cavalry speed could not be brought into play at all, and a strong charge would only cause greater losses. The general of Tubo is not a fool, so naturally he will not use the same force to face the Tang army formation like a hedgehog in such a situation.

As long as one step back, then there will be a second step, a third step, until there is no way to retreat, so when the Tubo people retreated to less than five hundred steps from the city wall, the Tuchu general gave the order to withdraw the troops.

But fortunately, these guys in Tubo belong to the nomadic people, their camp is their own war horse, even if they withdraw the troops, they don't have to pack anything, after an order, just pull out the horse and leave, it is really a trip to go.

"The Tibetans have retreated, and reinforcements have arrived. Datang! Wansheng! The defenders of the city, who had been worried for several days, shouted excitedly when they saw the Tibetans retreating in panic.

At this point, the siege of Songzhou has been resolved.

However, the siege was solved, but the battle was not over, after the Tubo people withdrew their main formation, relying on the advantage of numbers, they once again formed a confrontation with the right leading guard led by Niu Jinda, but this time the confrontation was ten miles outside the city of Songzhou.

"Niu Jinda has seen the governor of Songzhou!" Under the city of Songzhou, Lao Niu saw the slightly haggard Han Wei. However, Lao Niu is only the general of the Sixteenth Guard, and his official position is one level lower than that of Han Wei from the third grade, so according to the etiquette in the army, this ceremony still has to be seen.

"General Niu is exempt from courtesy, Han is ashamed, Gansongling lost his troops and lost the prestige of the Tang Army, he deserves this courtesy!" Han Wei knew that the siege of Songzhou this time would inevitably be pursued when he returned to Chang'an in the future, and what was waiting for him was still an unknown future, so in the face of Niu Jinda, he naturally lost some confidence.

Speaking of people in the army, the size of the official position is one thing, and the qualifications and abilities are another, although he has a high official position as the governor of Xiazhou, but for a veteran of the killing field like Niu Jinda, a general of a hundred battles, how can he wait a few more years if he wants to pretend to be a calf.

"Governor Han, the siege of Songzhou has been lifted, can you introduce Niu to the situation of the Tubo army." Niu Jinda was not polite to Han Wei, but seeing that he was depressed, he didn't want to touch his sensitive nerves at this time, so he just diverted the topic and asked about the situation of the Tubo people.

"The Tubo attack this time was led by their Zampu, and they almost poured out, but I don't have a strong sense of attacking them, and I guess this time I came to demonstrate more." Han Wei thought about it and said slowly.

He also had his own reasons for making such a judgment, thinking that since the Tibetan army fought with it at Gansongling, it didn't take much time to rush to the city of Songzhou, but in the past few days of besieging the city, it has not started to attack, but has been constantly provoking.

Of course, there may also be a sense of encirclement and reinforcement here, but even so, at least this besieged 'point' must be hit with a dozen, right? Otherwise, when will the reinforcements arrive without knowing it?

Therefore, it was because of this that Han Wei judged that the Tubo people were more demonstrating, rather than really wanting to invade.

"Demonstrations?" Niu Jinda nodded, according to Han Wei's account, his judgment was basically the same.

However, since it is a demonstration, then you don't need to suffer the consequences of the failure of the demonstration, and if you dare to bare your teeth to the Tang Dynasty, you must be prepared to be whipped! There is no one in this world who can still retreat after Xiang Datang's teeth, and the last guy who bared his teeth to Datang is now dancing for His Majesty the Emperor of Datang in Chang'an, this time let's see what the consequences will be!
