Hearing that Su Dingfang and the others were marching so fast, even Yu Chigong, a veteran general, was stunned.
He asked in disbelief: "They came so fast? Didn't they encounter any enemy troops blocking them along the way?"
Although Tubo put its main force in a few cores city, but this does not mean that other cities have no defenders.
Zhang Shigui said with a smile: "When the enemy saw tens of thousands of heavy armored cavalry, they were almost scared to death. How dare they step forward to stop them."
Outside the city, Su Dingfang The cavalry currently in command can defeat an army of 200,000 foreigners, and there is still a 90% certainty of victory.
Yuchi Gong nodded.
After a moment of silence, he frowned and said: "In the next round of charge, let the brothers below make more noise, otherwise the Tibetan defenders will not continue to send people over."
"Yes!"
After Zhang Shigui saluted respectfully, he quickly walked down to make arrangements.
Such important combat arrangements can only be conveyed by him, the deputy commander-in-chief, in person.
After the cup of tea.
The Tang army, which was originally just beating gongs and pretending to attack, will now start to take serious action.
I saw trebuchets and rain of arrows, like a canopy, instantly covering the sky above the east gate of Malkang.
"Escape!"
"Hide to the edge of the city wall!"
Although the generals on the city wall were shouting vigorously to avoid arrows and stones, method, but many people still couldn't avoid it and were shot into hedgehogs by the dense arrows.
And the people who were hit by the boulders were even more miserable.
In an instant, the low city wall turned into a mess.
In the city lord’s mansion.
Hearing the emergency at the East City Gate, Lalu Kemo became uneasy. He quickly put on his armor and held a spear, and led his generals and soldiers over to check.
I saw arrows as dense as raindrops, shooting in from outside the city.
The bodies of hundreds of soldiers were already lying on the city walls and on the ground.
When the general guarding the east gate saw Lalu Kemo coming, he quickly ran over and said.
"General, the Tang army's offensive is too strong. I'm afraid they will break through the city wall in less than two hours."
"Please send more soldiers to assist the general." Let's defend together."
After hearing the words of the east gate guard, Lalu Kemo turned to the generals behind him and asked.
"Have any enemy troops been found in the other three city gates?"
Although the Tang army was besieging the east gate with all their strength, Lalu Kemo had no intention of attacking the other three city gates. He didn't let down his guard.
"Reporting to the general, no enemy troops were found at the north gate!"
"Neither was found at the south gate."
"There was no enemy at the west gate."
Hearing this unusual information, Lalu Kemo was extremely vigilant.
According to the combat cases of the Tang Army, their favorite was to surround three but lack one.
Why has it become one offense and three defenses now?
The Tang army's offensive became stronger and stronger, and they could even hear the sound of the Tang army outside the city.
The east gate guard looked anxious and said: "General, don't hesitate, the Tang army is about to attack!"
So what if the Tang army has a conspiracy, the east gate cannot be defended. Yes, it would be a waste to put extra troops at the other three gates.
Once the Tang army invades the city, they will face the risk of close combat with the Tang army.
Lalu frowned and said: "Deploy 5,000 people from the west gate, and 2,500 people from the north and south gates. A total of 10,000 people will come to the east gate to defend the city!"
"Yes!"
The three generals behind him saluted in unison.
With that said, they quickly went down to make arrangements.
The East Gate originally had 30,000 garrison troops stationed there, but now another 10,000 troops have been deployed. The garrison troops at the other three gates have been greatly reduced.
Excluding the soldiers who maintained order within the city, the average number of defenders at each of the other three city gates was less than 3,000.
Malconsi Gate.
Su Dingfang, who received the news of the mobilization of the defenders in advance, knew that the time for the decisive battle had arrived.
Under his command, more than 40,000 fine cavalry quietly arrived at the foot of the West City Gate.
The defenders on the city wall looked at the densely packed heavy armored cavalry below, with panic expressions on their faces.
"So... so many cavalry!"
"Hurry... go and report to the general!"
"Ask the general to send people back for reinforcements. ! ”
When they rushed to send people for help, the cavalry had already reached the foot of the city gate.

Moreover, this Tang army fired a large number of arrows while moving on horseback, suppressing the defenders on the city wall so that they did not dare to stand up.
Some of the more stupid people who did not know how to fight back have now become corpses.
"Bang!"
The west city gate was directly smashed by the Tang army.
It’s over!
The city gate is broken!
The defenders did not expect that the Tang army would break the city so easily.
Su Dingfang rushed into the city on horseback, and the spear in his hand pierced all the Tubo defenders who rushed over.
The battle only lasted for a cup of tea and then ended quickly.
Su Dingfang looked around, and then shouted loudly: "Erdan, Rengui, Xu Hu, the three of you will lead our troops and follow me to attack the main force of the East City Gate."
"Xi Junmai, divide your troops into two groups and kill the Tibetan guards at the North Gate and South Gate!"
After hearing Su Dingfang's arrangement, Er Dan, Xue Rengui and other four marching managers, Without the slightest hesitation, he nodded directly in response.
"No!"
After the four people saluted, they led their soldiers to fight according to the plan.
...
East Gate.
After 10,000 defenders came to support, they finally held the city gate.
At the end of a round of battle, there is a gap period for rest.
Lalu Kemo took the opportunity to rush up to the city wall, put his hands on the dirt wall, and squinted at the ground outside.
"Why did you order Tang Jun's body so much?"
"This is wrong!"
Lalu Kemo kept murmuring in a low voice as if possessed.
Soon he thought of the key information, and his face suddenly turned pale.
"It's over, we've fallen into a trap!"
He saw that this was a feint attack by the Tang Army, and the Tang Army's real intention was to attack the other three city gates.
Thinking of this, Lalu Kemo rushed down to the city and shouted to several generals.
"Quick! Go to the other three city gates to garrison!"
Just as the generals below were preparing to make arrangements, they suddenly heard the rumble of horses trampling the ground.
When they looked back in surprise, densely packed Tang Army elite cavalry had already charged in.
"Fend off the enemy!"
"Go and defend against the enemy!"
Lalu Kemo shouted sharply.
Behind him, a group of generals quickly led their subordinate soldiers and rushed forward to resist.
In just one charge, these generals and soldiers were all wiped out by the Tang army's elite cavalry.
At this moment, a powerful roar suddenly came from outside the city.
"I'll charge you all!"
"Capture Malkang, I'll treat you to roast mutton!"
Hearing this roar, he attacked the city. Another fierce shout of killing came from the Tang army.
"Kill!"
The overwhelming shouts of killing almost frightened the Tibetan soldiers in the city.
From the moment more than 40,000 cavalry led by Su Dingfang entered the city, the battle could be declared over in advance.
Lalu Kemo quickly mobilized his army to resist the Tang army's elite cavalry that rushed into the city.
As for the Tang army who was still attacking outside the city, they no longer had the energy to resist.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Erdan led his army to the east gate and opened it.
Yuchi Gong’s troops outside the city poured in like a tide.
“Hahaha, I haven’t had a fight after holding it in for so long., now let me attack with all my strength! "
Yuchi Gong raised his horse high and shouted loudly.
"Kill! kill! kill! "
After more than an hour of bloody fighting, the battle gradually came to an end.
All 50,000 Tibetan defenders were annihilated.
