On the city walls of Songzhou, below the city gate tower, a young general in his twenties stood on the city gate tower!
He glared angrily at the 10 detestable 1,000-man infantry unit that was a mile away from the city.
They were wearing the same leather armor, and there was a soft double layer of leather under their helmets, revealing only their faces that were different from those of the Central Plains. Especially his eyes, which looked like a thief's.
No, he was a thief to begin with. He had always been thinking about the most fertile land in the world and the thieves of the Central Plains!
Then, he looked at the seven hundred Tang soldiers on the wall and smiled in relief.
Out of the three thousand soldiers in Songzhou, two thousand had died in the previous battle and eight thousand had been killed. Then, the commander, Yang Hao, led three hundred valiant cavalry and used himself as bait to attract all the enemy cavalry.
"General Jiang, can General Yang still come back?”
Beside him, an archer asked with tears in his eyes.
This twenty-year-old general was called Jiang Ke. He was the descendant of Jiang Wei, the general of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms and the successor of Zhuge Liang.
His father was Jiang Baoyi, a famous general during the reign of Li Yuan. In the third year of Wude, Jiang Baoyi was captured during the battle with Song Jingang. He was killed because he would rather die than surrender.
That year, he had just been born in his hometown, Yizhou. He was a son who had lost his father when he was born.
The only thing he had was his father's companion weapon, the treasured spear in Jiang Wei's hand. It was one of the top ten spears in Huaxia, the Heavy Green Spear!
He had only relied on the secret martial arts manual passed down in his family and had mastered the Jiang family's spear technique under the education of his half-baked mother.
A year ago, Songzhou's commander, Yang Hu, and his deputy had both died in battle!
The imperial edict not only made Yang Hao the general, but also made Jiang Ke, who lived in Yizhou, the deputy general.
Yang Hao's father died in battle when he was fourteen. Yang Hao had received a truly good martial education, and his martial arts were higher than Jiang Ke's. After spending a year together, Yang Hao and Jiang Ke exchanged martial arts techniques, and their martial arts skills had a qualitative leap.
At the same time, there was a qualitative leap in their camaraderie.
Jiang Ke and Yang Hao almost fought over who would be the bait. However, he still couldn't resist Yang Hao's stubbornness and his identity as the commander.
Military orders were like mountains, so Yang Hao went to be the bait. Only by whittling down the enemy's cavalry could Songzhou City hold on for a few more days until reinforcements from the imperial court arrived!
Jiang Ke looked into the distance and blinked. He replied in the Yizhou dialect,"I don't know. If he doesn't come back, I'll go find him.”
"However, we have to wait for the reinforcements from the Imperial Court to arrive.”
"Songzhou is the territory of our Han people. We, we can't lose it before we die.”
The soldiers knew what Deputy General Jiang meant. The enemy had ten thousand men, while they only had seven hundred. Defeat was certain, death was certain.
But no matter what, he had to think of a way to delay until the Imperial Court's reinforcements arrived!
Dong dong dong!
Dong dong dong!
The impure war drums sounded together. Jiang Ke and all the soldiers were on high alert and glared angrily at the 10,000 Tibetans in front of them.
Dozens of Tubo people were beating drums made of cow bones.
Whoosh!
The cold wind howled at the border, and the yellow sand slapped the red and dry faces of the Tibetans.
Their eyes were like wolves, imagining the clean and fair Han girls in the city. One had to know that the highlands were windy and windy, and the ultraviolet rays were strong. Those women looked like they were in their forties when they were in their twenties, and they felt dizzy just looking at them.
The city walls that extended on both sides of Songzhou City Tower were like a geographical dividing line.
The difference between the Yellow Plateau and the oasis basin was like this!
This was the difference between the wilderness and the civilized Huaxia!
Even in their dreams, they wanted to live inside the wall. However, the land inside was left behind by the ancestors of the Han family. It was the land left behind by Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to the Chinese people and the descendants of the Han family.
My ancestors worked hard to build this place, leaving us with this land. How can we let others sleep soundly?
In history, countless barbarians had wanted to enter, but what awaited them was only one word-get lost!
However, a wicked heart would never die!
The Tibetan general wore chainmail armor and had a simple round iron plate tied to his chest as a heart shield. This was the current standard of the Tibetan army.
The Great Tang's Great Generals had long since been clad in Radiant Armor.
Before this, Songzan Gambo had wanted to make a marriage alliance and then use the excuse of goodwill to cheat others of their technology.
Now, the Emperor did not care about him. The beast's predatory nature had come out, so he could only use force.
The Tibetan general Tashi Duoji had a beard that was raised high. He playfully stroked his beard and looked down on the hundreds of Tang soldiers on the wall.
"Very brave!"
"Three thousand soldiers have blocked my twenty thousand soldiers for so long.”
"They even wiped out 2,000 of my cavalry, but I still have 10,000 infantry.”
Hahaha!
He pointed his saber at the city wall.”
"Next up, it's your turn as the deputy general, the descendant of Shu Han's Great General Jiang Wei.”
Shua!
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the horse-chopping saber flickered with a cold light.
"Kill them!"
"Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
"If we break through the city, the women and property inside will be ours.”
When the Tibetan soldiers heard this, they were extremely excited. One had to know that the sows of the Han people were all princesses and Chang'e in the eyes of the Tibetans!
That battle intent instantly erupted!
Da da da da da!
Soldiers carrying ladders raised their shields and charged forward.
The Tibetan soldiers with long spears also rushed over.
Ten thousand people charged at the city wall that had blocked the Western Barbarians for a thousand years.
"Archers, get ready!"
"Lamp oil, get ready!"
After Jiang Ke gave the order, he went down the city tower alone. This was also his last military order!
The soldiers carried jugs of lamp oil and liquor that they had prepared and ran up the ladder to the city gate tower.
They only glanced at this deputy general who was only four years older than General Yang, and the tears in their eyes disappeared.
General Yang could not return.
Was General Jiang going to look for him too?
Would anyone still remember them after such a desperate battle?
It didn't matter. Since ancient times, heroes had died in battle. This was the fate of warriors.
A warrior would leave his hometown for the country. With the country in his heart, the mountains and rivers of his hometown would be everywhere.
There are loyal bones buried everywhere on Green Mountain. Why do you need to wrap your body in a horse's leather?
"Five hundred steps!"
Tang Bing looked up and waved the yellow flag!
"Four hundred steps!"
"Two hundred steps, release!"
The archers kept shooting arrows at the bandits.
At the same time, jugs of lamp oil wine were poured onto the city wall, flowing down the city wall to the ground and into the distance!
"Release!"
Tashi Dorje shot an arrow through the heart of the observer.
" Second brother, second brother!!!" A young soldier shouted, his eyes filled with anger and sorrow.
" Set fire!"
The observer completed his mission and shouted his last order. Then, he fell down from the high platform.
He held a saber in his hand. Just as he was about to fall to his death, he swung his saber and slit the necks of two Tibetans.
In the end, they were drowned in the torrent of thieves!
