Then, the defenders on the city soon saw that the people below were almost densely packed with Tibetans.
But at this moment, the Tubo people who had been silent suddenly roared wildly and began to charge towards the north of Jianchuan City.
The alarm bell was rung almost instantly, and soon, groups of soldiers of the Xue Army rushed towards the north of the city.
Cheng Fa, who stayed behind on the city, roared and fired repeatedly to suppress the panic-stricken Xun army officers.
On the city gate tower, more than ten elite grenadiers who had put on thick iron armor and even lowered their face armor were ready.
Countless arrows were streaking across the sky and falling down one after another, while the cauldron on the city wall was vigorously igniting, making the oil in the cauldron even hotter.
There are also rolling logs that have been sent down. In the distance, the face of the Tibetan general who is responsible for commanding the night attack is already ashen.
"General, how about asking the brothers to withdraw..." The general on the side couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.
What he received in return was a cold look from the general, who was so frightened that he swallowed back his words.
General Tashi snorted and continued to focus on the city.
The importance of Jianchuan City is very important to the entire Tubo. With Jianchuan City, Tubo can easily move eastward and southward.
Going deep into the southern region of Jiannan Road in the Tang Dynasty, it posed a huge threat to the prosperous Shuzhong region of the Tang Dynasty from two directions.
It is precisely because of this that Tibet racked its brains and paid a huge price to capture this city.
After taking the city, Jianchuan City was reinforced and repaired many times, hoping to make it the most stable gateway to Tibet.
#####
But unexpectedly, this time, Tubo began to use force against the Tang Dynasty for the first time, and the war was about to begin.
The most important foothold in the southern part of the Great Tubo was actually gone, and the prime minister's brave general led three thousand elites and was still trapped in the south of Jianchuan City.
The news of the fall of Jianchuan City had already spread after the deputy general and remaining soldiers who were guarding the city fled to Iron Bridge City.
Tashi, who was originally responsible for guarding the town of Tienqiao, was so angry that he almost wanted to chop up the bastard deputy general on the spot.
By the time he led his army to the north of Jianchuan City, almost two days had passed.
He had been waiting for time, and today it happened to be gloomy with no moonlight, so Tashi sent his best troops to retake Jianchuan City.
Originally, I thought that the army could quietly advance under the city wall, attack the city unexpectedly, and maybe have a chance to seize the city.
But I never thought that those cunning Tang people might have something hidden in their ambush.
I don't know why it was triggered, making that huge noise, which instantly woke up the defenders on the city.
On the top of the city, the rolling logs flew down and smashed the long ladder into two pieces before it could be erected.
The hot oil spilled down made the Tibetan soldiers who had squeezed under the city wall worse than death.
There were also torches, which were thrown down at the moment when the scalding hot oil was poured down, and then swirled around, one by one, human-shaped torches, which directly frightened the hearts of the Tibetan warriors who were struggling to move forward.
The valley is really too narrow, with steep rock walls on both sides. The only way to survive is to turn around and run.
Looking at the attack that lasted less than Zhuxiang's time, I saw that the soldiers who had originally charged forward had begun to slow down and even stopped moving forward.
Tashi raised his head in despair. It would be meaningless to continue like this unless he relied on the corpse to push it to the level of the city wall...
Following the sound of the horn, the Tibetan elites who suffered heavy casualties below the city wall turned around and ran away, wishing they could have two more legs to stay away from this damn Jianchuan City wall.
It was only then that Cheng Chubi, wearing heavy armor all over his body, rushed to the city gate wall with his pair of iron maces.
"..." Cheng Chubi stood on top of the city with his mace in hand, and saw the hurried figures of the Tubo people retreating.
When I thought about being woken up by someone, I didn't even wash up, I just hurriedly put on my armor and rushed over with my weapons.
As a result, all he could see were the backs of the Tibetan attackers fleeing in embarrassment, and Cheng Sanlang couldn't help but feel extremely evil.
I wish I could yell at the Tubo people who were fleeing, come here, come and beat me.
However, considering the psychological endurance of the frightened and panting Xunjun soldiers on top of the city.
Cheng Chubi could only give up the idea angrily.
"Sir, why are you here? With us here, nothing will happen to you."
Cheng Fa led the night watchers to the front and said loudly with a stern look on his face.
Cheng Chubi looked at the group of subordinates who almost lolled their tongues to accept the head-butting reward, and gave them an approving smile.
He slapped everyone hard with a big slap.
"Okay, it's all good work. You've done a good job. With you stationed here, I can rest peacefully."
To be praised by Cheng Changshi, who was worshiped as a god, all the soldiers and soldiers were beaming and flattered.
I can't wait to accept the test of such a battle again so that I can fully demonstrate my abilities.
A fierce leader had already shouted, reminding the soldiers to brace themselves to prepare for the next sneak attack.
Cheng Chubi stood in front of the city wall and looked at the valley that had regained its tranquility. It seemed that the Tubo people also knew the importance of Jianchuan City.
What's more, they still have three thousand elites who are locked up and beaten. They must be very unhappy in their hearts. Unfortunately, with me here, you can't even think of coming over.

Shang Duojie, who was sleeping in the tent of the original leader of Yueji Zhao, had a sweet dream. In the dream, he led three thousand Tibetan elites and strangled Ning Jishi, who led an elite Tang army to rescue Mengshe Zhao.
The head of Governor Ning was hung high on the flagpole, so that the civil and military forces of Yaozhou City, which had lost its support, could only open the city and surrender.
As for the rogue army that followed Cheng Sanlang, they had already fled before he led the victorious army to the gates of Yaozhou City.
But the man who came with the Xun army was infected with a serious disease. Cheng Sanlang, who was seriously ill on the hospital bed, heard the news that Yaozhou City had surrendered. He suddenly bulged his eyes and died in anger.
Just as he was happily waiting for the reward from the Lord of Tubo, a hurried low cry finally woke up Shang Duojie from his sweet dream.
"who is it?!"
Shang Duojie suddenly sat up and subconsciously touched the sword hidden under his pillow with his big hand.
Then I saw a burly subordinate, sweating all over his head, walking up to the couch and bowing respectfully.
"General, he is the last general..."
Shang Duojie was stunned for almost a breath before he came to his senses, his face darkened and he shouted in a low voice.
"Dawa? Why are you here?"
Dawa let out a breath and whispered into Shang Duojie's ear.
"General... something happened in Jianchuan City..."
