Chapter 64: The City

After being persuaded by the deputy general, Alibaba finally agreed to the merchants to enter the city. There were originally a museum in the city of Mitang that was specially designed for these smuggling merchants to rest - it was a row of thatched huts. Smuggling on the other end of Chongtianzhai on the border was prohibited, but it was encouraged on Talas. Alibaba sent more than 100 people to keep the entrance and exit of the museum closely. It was only allowed to trade every afternoon, less than two hours, so the transaction was naturally more strictly.

Zhang Wu and Baierli had no more words. At this time, the areas under the rule of the Uighurs in Lingxi were as cheap as earth, and rice and flour were as expensive as gold. As for wine, it was banned from brewing, so many smuggling merchants took out the wine and food and cotton coats, and immediately made a fortune. The iron and other items in it were naturally sold to the military.

Alibaba ate the noodles and jerky brought by private merchants and drank the wine given to him by Bairry. When he saw that these people had nothing to do for two consecutive days, his guard gradually became relaxed, but he did not dare to slacken off when he took care of them.

On the third day, Zhang Wu was going to Talas, and the deputy general of the Destroyed Tangcheng stopped him and said, "There is enough things you brought to buy in this city, why bother to leave?" Zhang Wu sneered: "The goods I brought here will be sold at a low price. Don't think I don't understand the market."

The deputy general cursed secretly, "Old profiteer!" but he still asked him to stay for a few more days.

On the third day, there was a sudden warning from outside. Zhang Wu and Bairry were both panicked and asked the guards of the hall. The guard centurion said, "It's okay, it's okay!"

Zhang Wu shouted, "How come it's okay! I heard that I was called from the south, it must be Tang Jun."

The centurion said, "You Tang Jun, hehe, are you going out to call for help?"

"What a joke!" Zhang Wu shouted: "I'm afraid you can't defend it! We do this at such a time, which is the enemy. When the Tang army came in, the first thing we wanted to chop our heads, and we would suffer with our wife, children and young people. So you must keep it safe, so there must be no accident!"

All the merchants said: "That's it, that's it."

The centurion reported the situation and the adjutant of Destroyed Tangcheng thought to himself: "Yes, they are more afraid than us."

This time, the one who led the troops to attack was He Ziying. All the soldiers in the Tianzhai came out in full swing, and thousands of militias were brought behind. He Ziying led the soldiers to rush forward, and the militias behind him transported various materials one after another. Judging from the fierce attack, it was inevitable to win!

Moreover, He Ziying brought many improved weapons this time, such as some careful catapults. Only within 20 pounds, one person could carry the catapult outside the city of Mitang, eject the oil refining bomb, eject the oil refining bomb to the city, and attack the fences and spear walls!

Fortunately, Satuk was good at dealing with the Tang army's fire attack tactics and had prepared many light sandbags. He saw that the refining bomb was thrown down and he avoided it first. As soon as the refining bombs splashed, he immediately threw away the bags of sand and dust. Before the rocket could shoot, it covered the oil splashed by the refining bombs, and it was difficult for some exposed to become a climate.

There were also very sharp archers on the city of Detective Tang. These people were well-trained. Zhang Mai used three chains of military training in the archery team, so that the long-range troops could be divided into waves, one below and the other up, and the next time, Satuk suffered a loss, and he also learned his lesson. Zhi Yibal used it on the guards of Detective Tang City. The archers were almost continuous, constantly shooting the Tang army trying to approach.

However, He Ziying used the Uighur tactics to drive hundreds of inferior horses out of the mountain road, and then forced the horses to collide with swords and fire behind them. Many horses hit the city wall directly, but most of them had fallen before they rushed to the vicinity. Under the wall of the city wall of the Tang City was built with stones. Ibar spent a lot of effort to build it very firmly for this technique, so the inferior horses did not cross it. However, the corpse was below, but it might become a staircase for the Tang army to climb the city. As for the horses that died in the middle, the Tang army sent infantry to borrow these horse corpses step by step, treating them as trenches made by horse corpses.

At this time, more than twenty thick arrow spears with ropes were suddenly set up at the head of the city of Detang, nailing the horse corpse, each of which was nailed three or five. Then, he lifted the horse corpse with pulleys and transported it back to the city. Alibaba sent someone to the head of the city to shout with Tang Yan: "Thank you, Marshal Zhang, General Guo, you are here to send us military rations!"

These are tactics that Su Lai and Shu Yibal had thought of before to attack the morale of the enemy. Sure enough, the Tang soldiers outside the city were scolded. Some soldiers couldn't help but attack, and were shot and killed by Uighur archers who were too fast. More than 100 people were killed and injured on that day, and hundreds of horses died in vain, but they could not destroy Tangcheng at all.

However, the Tang army did not retreat in a row, and divided into three squads. If they could not rush closer, they would pile up earth and stones to camp step by step. However, the terrain was so narrow that it was difficult for people to advance and retreat. It was really easy to push it to the city like this! Since the Tang army was good at defending the city, there were naturally many ways to attack the city. However, due to the limitations of the terrain, those siege tactics were almost useless.

Even so, He Ziying was still fearless and attacked day and night from day to night, from morning to noon. Alibaba sneered at the deputy general: "Do you need to use fatigue tactics?"

This city of Tang Destroyed Tang was originally called the Fortress. It was very small. It was gentle slopes on the west and cliffs on the south side, and there was only a stone wall with a tree spear wall on the south side. The attack surface was too small. No matter how many people came from the other side, the guards only needed two or three hundred people to guard the city. The Tang army took shifts outside the city, and the Uighurs also took shifts in the city, so they were not afraid of fatigue tactics.

After three consecutive days of attack, He Ziying still failed to achieve many results, but he injured hundreds of militia in vain. It would be difficult to destroy Tang City, otherwise Satuk would not have left a small number of troops, so he would be relieved. Guo Luo has been strangled by this city for so long, so how could it be without a reason?

Due to the influence of the war situation in the east, the morale of Detective Tang City was originally quite low, but after winning all the battles, Alibaba couldn't help but get excited and said to the deputy generals and centuries: "The Tang army has always won many with fewer defeats. Recently, all the troops in the army are afraid of Tang like tigers. We have a lot of face this time. Seeing that the Tang army has thousands of people coming over, they can't beat hundreds of us!" While sending people to report the victory to Balashaguen.

The fifth day of the battle, He Ziying's offensive was still exhausted! When the Uighurs in the city saw it, they admired the enemy's tenacity, but the tenacity was just morale. He Ziying changed seven or eight ways to attack the city, but he still couldn't achieve results.

After the second update that night, the sound of whimpering horns sounded outside the city again. The Uighurs had been used to listening. As Zhang Wu listened, he touched them and said to Bairry: "It's time!"

The two of them twisted a shoulder pole, and there was a shining cold sword light hidden inside! This was not a variegated knife, but a horizontal knife used by the Tang army, and a top-grade horizontal knife!

The two sent their subordinates to call out people from several Shangtou, porters and grooms, and there were a total of 103 people, along with Zhang Wu and Baierri.

Bairry first sent someone to the pile of firewood behind to light the fire. After the fireworks came out, Bairry led his people to yell and rushed out, shouting: "It's on fire, it's on fire!"

It had been several days since they arrived to destroy Tangcheng. Alibaba's supervision of them was first strict and then pine. He Ziying had just arrived for two more days. Later, he saw that they were more afraid that the Tang army would destroy Tangcheng than him. He saw that they were no different, and they were pine again. The elite troops were all going to the south wall to defend the city in turn. There were only a few dozen Uighur soldiers guarding the hall. The centurion had just received a bottle of wine from Baierri in the afternoon. He woke up when he heard the cry, but he was still half drunk. He ran over without getting his armor and shouted, "Don't panic, don't panic!"

Zhang Wu rushed towards him with a knife and shouted, "I'm so angry that I can't panic!"

The centurion saw the cold light in Zhang Wu's hand, and it seemed that he was holding something other than ordinary weapons, and shouted: "What are you holding!"

Zhang Wu sneered: "The Tang Dynasty's horizontal sword!" The knife crossed and cut off the centurion's throat!

The Uighur soldiers who were in charge of the house were shocked and were about to suppress them. When Baierli and others rushed over, more than a hundred people were still going down the mountain to enter the dog group, and the swords shone and slaughtered the generals all the way. All the more than a hundred people were very capable, and the dozens of Uighur guards were in a hurry to fight, but they were not opponents? More than thirty people died in just one meal.

The remaining private merchants in the museum were awakened. Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhang Wu took the centurion's head and said in a scattered manner, "I am under the command of Governor Guo, and the commander An Wu! I have been in and out of Talas in the past few years. Don't panic, follow my orders, and act. If you go back to Ningyuan in the future, the governor will not blame you for what you did before!"

The private merchants and the porters originally recognized him as the first one, and they all said, "I would like to listen to the order of Commander An."

An Wudao: "I'm going to get the head of Alibaba now. You can find your own weapons, set fires everywhere, and cooperate with our army's offensive outside. That's all I said! Go!"

All the private merchants and porters received the order, but Anwu and Bairry led the hundred warriors to the residence of Alibaba!

They had already entered and exited before the city was built. They knew the terrain and arrangement of the city as if they were right. More than a hundred people rushed to the residence of the guard general. They killed people along the way and rode horses. There were more than thirty cavalry rushing to the residence of the guard general.

The army outside the city immediately intensified its attack when they saw the flames in the city. The private merchants, porters and grooms behind them also started to move. They set fires everywhere with licorice and wood, and shouted with the army outside the city. Inside the city, the sound of killing was shocking the sky and the flames were beating!

The people who were killed by An Wu were shouting endlessly. He had passed six night patrol guards and was killed wherever he went! In this street fighting in the city of Destroy Tang, the hundred men led by An Wu were elite soldiers selected by the Tang army, and they were also organized. They rushed left and right in the chest and abdomen of Destroy Tangcheng. The strength of the Uighur army in Destroy Tangcheng was not enough to resist the strength of the Tangcheng Uighur army. If there were more than three times the strength, they would not want to resist it, or more than five times the strength could not be enough to effectively suppress it! There were only more than two thousand garrisons in the city, divided into three squads. One squad had just stopped for a while, and the other had not yet stood up. More than six hundred people were resisting the attack of the Tang army on the south wall. There were only more than a hundred squads in the city. Once the guards of the hall were defeated, the others were caught off guard!

When An Wu killed the guard general, more than a hundred people died under the sword of the Tang army's 100 team, but none of them lost!

During the repeated battles, the morale of the Tang army was greatly boosted, and the killed Uighurs fled left and right, not only in terms of quantity, but also in terms of morale.

The Uighurs retreated step by step to the residence of the guard general. When An Wu came to the front of the gate, there were less than thirty people in the gate. Tonight it was the turn of the deputy general to climb the city to command the battle. Alibaba was sleeping. When he approved his clothes and went out, An Wu had already arrived in front of him!

This is not a hard battle, this is a killing battle!

More than a dozen Tang army soldiers seized bows and arrows from the hands of the Uighurs, jumped onto the house and shot around with the fire. Feather arrows roared into the air, and a long arrow penetrated an escort's throat! The splash of blood spilled Alibaba's face!

The general who was still shouting at Tang Jun on the top of the city half a day ago became scared. He shouted to An Wu: "Zhang Wu! How dare you rush to my mansion! Do you want to die?"

However, this kind of call is filled with a burst of laughter. A few feather arrows attacked. Fortunately, a Uighur soldier closed the door and nailed all the Dududu to the door panel!

"Bulle it, fast bolt it!"

Alibaba shouted, and at the same time called on the defenders in the city to come and help!

But Baierry was not willing to give him this opportunity!

He let go of a war horse and stabbed it hard on the horse's buttocks!

The war horse galloped out in pain and hit the door that had not been completely locked, and with a bang, the door panel was knocked away. An Wu led his men to the head and killed two people in a row with a horizontal knife. Alibaba shouted: "You...you...you...you spy!"

An Wu laughed and took big steps to come. The nameless Lingxibukuro, who was in his forties, was burning on the key battlefield of Destroy Tangcheng at this moment. Amid Alibaba's screams, he cut off the other party's right hand, stretched his foot to step on his chest, and pointed out that it had pressed against his throat!

Alibaba stared at An Wu and shouted, "You...who are you!" His right arm was bleeding, but the most terrifying thing at this time was no longer this, but the horizontal knife pressed against his throat! He knew that he was afraid he would not beg for mercy. After all, he would not beg for mercy before death. However, he still had to figure it out and figure out what was going on!

An Wu looked at him coldly and said, "There is a lieutenant in Chongtian Fort, which is my son! This matter is not fake, but..." He sneered: "My official is older than my son. I am the third lieutenant under the command of the Ningyuan Governor Ningyuan, An Wu!" He slapped the hilt of the knife, and the blade penetrated the throat and stabbed it into the dust, and said, "It took me nearly four years to change my name to accomplish what I am today, so it is not unfair to die at my hands!"
