Songdu Zampu, who was sitting on the high platform, immediately paled. The guards beside him immediately held round shields to protect him and quickly retreated from the high platform.
Guo Ziyi's heart tightened when she saw this. She shouted,"We can't let Songdu Zanpo escape into the city!”He immediately took out a bamboo tube from his bosom and lit the fuse. A firework bomb flew into the air with a whistling sound.
A moment later, the sound of horse hooves and the shouts of the Tang soldiers came from behind Guo Ziyi.
"Charge! Kill Songdu Zanpo!" Guo Ziyi shouted. This was both a hostage rescue operation and a decapitation operation. Songdu Zampo was one of the most important targets.
The Tang archers beside Guo Ziyi immediately stood up, hung their bows on their waists, drew their sabers, and rushed to the dojo with Guo Ziyi.
Excited, Li Bai pulled out the long sword on his back. His figure fluttered, and his pace was extremely fast. He was the first to kill his way into the dojo. Sword light flashed and blood light surged over!
The huge statue of Mahakala stood alone. Taba Feng watched Guo Ziyi charge over with the Tang soldiers. He was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes!
"Good brother, you're here!" Taba Feng shouted.
Guo Ziyi had just started to charge when he saw a group of cavalrymen behind him. They were also wearing the armor of the Tang army and holding sabers. They rushed over like lightning.
Wang Zhongsi had personally led three hundred light cavalry, and with Guo Ziyi's fireworks as a signal, they immediately began to charge.
Songdu Zampu's face was ashen. He did not expect the Tang army to launch a surprise attack at this time. Under the cover of the Tibetan elite guards beside him, he quickly fled to the city gate.
The cavalry was the fastest, and the task of pursuing Songdu Zampo was left to Wang Zhongsi and his three hundred light cavalry. After Guo Ziyi led a group of archers to kill a few Tibetan soldiers, they came to the statue of Mahakala.
Seeing that Taba Feng was safe and sound, Guo Ziyi was also very excited. She pulled out her knife and cut off the rope on his body.
"Brother has suffered!" Guo Ziyi said emotionally.
Taba Feng nodded and squeezed Guo Ziyi's shoulders tightly with both hands.
"Kill the enemies!" Taba Feng shouted angrily. Without another word, he immediately picked up a machete from the ground and charged at Songdu Zampu with Guo Ziyi.
The other scouts and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were rescued also followed suit. They all picked up their weapons on the ground and rushed forward!
Wang Zhongsi's three hundred light cavalry stopped below the city walls.
Guo Ziyi's heart tightened, and he quickened his pace to Wang Zhongsi.
Wang Zhongsi's expression was grim as he let out a long sigh."They're too close to the city gates and too fast. Songdu Zampo has fled into the city.”
There were two things that Guo Ziyi did not expect in tonight's operation. First, Songdu Zampu's platform was too far away to be shot with a crossbow. Another reason was that the training hall was too close to the city gate. Although the Tang cavalry tried their best to charge, Songdu Zanpu still managed to escape.
It was impossible to consider all aspects in advance for any military operation. There would always be unexpected situations.
Although he had saved Taba Feng and the others, he had not managed to kill Songdu Zampo. Guo Ziyi felt very regretful!
"Lord Wang, what should we do next?”Guo Ziyi said to Wang Zhongsi.
Wang Zhongsi thought for a moment, then lowered his head to look at Guo Ziyi, his eyes flashing."Attack the city!"
Guo Ziyi was shocked. There were less than 500 Tang soldiers outside the city!
"Attack the city now?"
"Songdu Zanpu fled into the city in a panic. He probably hasn't fully deployed his troops yet, and the Tibetan army will definitely speed up. If we don't attack now, it will be even harder to take him down later!”Wang Zhongsi said decisively.
Guo Ziyi understood that speed was the most important thing in war, and when he saw the determination in Wang Zhongsi's eyes, Guo Ziyi's passion was ignited.
"This subordinate obeys Lord Wang's orders and is willing to lead the troops into the city first!”Guo Ziyi said loudly.
Although he was slightly surprised, Wang Zhongsi still nodded."Go! A few more pontoons had been built on the river, and reinforcements were coming from behind. Commandant Shen could kill the enemy with ease!”
"Yes, sir!" Guo Ziyi nodded.
"Archers, follow me!" Guo Ziyi shouted, and the dozens of archers immediately followed him and rushed towards the city wall!
Guo Ziyi led the archers as they ran, taking off their Tibetan robes, revealing the tight, short clothes underneath. Each of them had a coil of rope hanging from their belt, and on it was a flying claw made of fine steel.
When they reached the city wall, Guo Ziyi and the archers untied the flying claw ropes hanging on their waists. After swinging a few rounds under the city wall, they threw them up hard, and the flying claws caught the battlements of the city wall one by one.
Guo Ziyi and the archers grabbed the ropes with both hands and hung the loaded crossbows on their waists. They quickly climbed up the wall. Occasionally, a few Tibetan soldiers would pop their heads out from the city walls. The archers would immediately switch to holding crossbows, and these Tibetan soldiers would be instantly nailed to the face by the crossbow bolts.
The guards on the city wall had been busy protecting Songdu Zampo's escape. Many people had already left the city wall and followed Songdu Zampo into the city.
Wang Zhongsi's guess was correct. The Tibetan defenders were currently busy protecting their master, Songdu Zampu, and had not immediately deployed their defenses. This was indeed a good opportunity to attack.
A few ropes were cut off by the Tibetan guards on the city wall. Several Tang archers fell off the city wall, either dead or injured. Others even accelerated their climb. Fifteen minutes later, Guo Ziyi led dozens of archers over the battlements and onto the city wall!
Beneath the city walls, Wang Zhongsi stood on his horse, his head held high.
Seeing Guo Ziyi's figure disappear from the walls, Wang Zhongsi let out a long sigh."He's really a god!"
A quarter of an hour later, the city gate of Yuchuan City slowly opened from the inside.
Guo Ziyi once again appeared in front of Wang Zhongsi, brandishing the bloodstained Obscuro Blade and excitedly shouting,"Lord Wang, quickly lead the troops into the city!”
"Enter the city!" Wang Zhongsi loudly shouted. His several hundred cavalry immediately whipped their horses and followed Wang Zhongsi into Yuchuan City.
On the bank of the Yellow River not far away, teams of Tang soldiers crossed the pontoon bridges on the river with torches in their hands. The teams stretched for miles and rushed toward Yuchuan City at full speed like fire dragons!
At dawn, the sun finally rose slowly over the horizon.
In the faint morning light, a huge royal flag stood on the city tower of Yuchuan City, fluttering in the wind.
After a night of fierce fighting, the Tang army completely recovered Yuchuan City. Songdu Zanpu managed to escape under the protection of his soldiers.
After the fall of Yuchuan City, the prefect's manor had become the command center for the Tibetan army, and Wang Zhongsi had taken it back. After a slight cleaning, it became the temporary command center of the Tang army in the city.
Twenty thousand Tang soldiers had crossed the Yellow River overnight and were stationed in Yuchuan City. Since Yuchuan City was captured by Tubo a few years ago, the Tang army finally had a stronghold on the right bank of the Yellow River!
In just one night, the Tang army rescued the captured soldiers, seized the statue of the Tibetan war god Mahakala, destroyed thousands of Tibetan soldiers, and took down Yuchuan City, forcing the Tibetan Songdu Zanpu to flee in panic.
This could be considered a miracle.
Wang Zhongsi sat in the main hall of Yuchuan City's prefect's manor, his expression slightly relaxed. He had not slept for an entire night and had led his army on a charge, his face filled with fatigue.
Guo Ziyi and Taba Feng stood in the hall, their faces filled with joy. Tuoba Feng had been tormented in recent days, and last night he had been putting in a lot of effort. Wang Zhongsi's heart ached for him, so he had him rest.
"Commandant Shen, you've done a great service again.”Wang Zhongsi said to Guo Ziyi.
"It's a pity that we didn't manage to kill Songdu Zanpu." Guo Ziyi smiled.”
"He's lucky. However, the Tibetan army was still rushing over. There were 100,000 of them, and they were mainly cavalry. The Tibetan cavalry had been stronger than the Turks in recent years.”Wang Zhongsi solemnly said.
Guo Ziyi understood the current situation. Taking back Yuchuan City was only the first step. It was also a small victory. The real hard battle and tough bones were still behind.
"Were you really just a businessman in the past?”Wang Zhongsi suddenly asked.
