Chapter 543: Commander of Tubo, the gates are wide open
Chapter 543: Commander-in-Chief of Tubo, the city gates are wide open
"General, don't worry. I am a citizen of the Song Dynasty. I should serve the imperial court and serve the general!"
Orchard calmed down and quickly expressed his loyalty.
Shen Tang nodded, and then asked people to take Orchard to rest.
Now, one night has passed since he issued the military order yesterday. After tonight, Xin Qiji and others must be ready!
One day and night passed in a hurry, and at noon the next day, Orchard and the twenty tribesmen he brought with him, under the leadership of his personal guards, came to meet Shen Tang.
"General, let's go now and open the Jiulong City Gate!"
Last night, Orchard didn't even sleep well.
I thought that in the near future, I would be able to become the leader of the Qiang people, and even become the transport envoy for this journey in the future.
Although he is not yet a true feudal official, it far exceeds his expectations.
Early in the morning, he was ready and waiting for the arrival of noon.
As soon as noon arrived, he couldn't stand it any longer and asked the soldier to bring him here.
"Okay! This time you go, although there is not much danger.
However, you must be careful about your own safety.
However, I have already arranged it.
It only takes a cup of tea, and tens of thousands of troops can all attack together, you just need to retreat in time!"
"You obey, villain!"
Then, Orchard and his men left the military camp and galloped towards Jiulong City on horseback.
The location where Shen Tang and others were located was not far from Jiulong City. Therefore, even though the mountain road was difficult, it only took them less than an hour to reach Jiulong City.
"Whoever comes, stop immediately!"
When the Tibetan guards at the top of the city saw a group of people approaching on horseback, they immediately shouted and prepared their bows and arrows in defense.
"A certain person is Wujia, the envoy of the Qiang tribe. He has important matters and wants to see you and other commander-in-chief!"
Orchard first shouted loudly, and then continued to move forward until he was only a few dozen steps away from the city gate, then he stopped.
Orchard's words shocked the Tubo people above the city!
Qiang people?
They looked down, and sure enough, Orchard and the others were all dressed in Qiang costumes.
"Just retreat. The Commander-in-Chief has ordered that Jiulong City is closed and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"
The defenders on top of the city hesitated for a moment, then spoke back.
However, the Tubo people also knew that the Qiang people had united with them, and there were only about twenty people who came, so they did not launch an attack rashly.
"snort!"
Wujia snorted coldly, "You are just a small city soldier, how dare you delay the important events of our Qiang people?"
We, the Qiang, are among the top clans in the entire land of Sichuan and Sichuan. Even your commander-in-chief would not dare to look down upon us! Moreover, we are here under the orders of the clan leader. This matter is not only related to us, the Qiang, but also to you, the Tubo people. .
If we leave, can you bear the responsibility when the time comes?"
The Tubo man above the city was furious when he heard this, but this time he did not refuse in a hurry.
Orchard is right. The Qiang tribe is indeed one of the top tribes in the area and is not weak in strength.
I think back then, the Tubo people also paid some price in order to win over the Qiang people.
If they really have something to do but are delayed by him, a punishment will naturally be inevitable.
The leading guard hesitated for a moment. Although he was dissatisfied with the arrogance of the Qiang people, he still did not dare to delay the important matter.
"Hmph! When we Tubo people occupy this Chengdu Mansion Road, you Qiang people will regret it.
When the time comes, I will definitely treat you well."
Thinking in his mind, he coldly shouted to the people in the city, "Wait here!"
With that said, he turned around and walked down the city wall, quickly heading towards the commander's mansion in the city.
This time when they sent troops to the Song Dynasty, the leader of the Tubo people was named Dawa Tata. This Dawa Tata was the prime minister of Tubo Zampu, and he was one of the top figures in the entire Tubo clan! And under Dawa Tata, there were four
General!
One of them, named Medorijin, is now in Yazhou with Dawa Tata.
The second one, named Ramduqi, is leading an army to sit in the Jiading Prefecture area! The one who is besieging Chengdu Prefecture is named Sambuza.
The last one, named Suolang Wangdui, was stationed at the Jiulong Pass to guard against a surprise attack by the Song army.
Let us also say that the soldier guarding the city rushed all the way to the commander's mansion. After sending the order to the soldiers, not long after, the soldier entered the house and saw Suolang Wangdui.
"Meet the Commander!"
Suolang Wangdui is wearing fur and bird feathers on his head. He has dark skin and a pair of domineering eyes!
"What's the matter!"
"Commander, there are Qiang people coming outside the city. They say they have important matters and want to see the commander."
Suolang Wangdui couldn't help but frowned when he heard this, "Qiang people?
Can they tell you what happened?"
The soldier shook his head.
"Are you sure they are Qiang people?
How many people are coming?"
"Commander, judging from their dress and appearance, they must be Qiang people.
There are twenty-one riders in total, and I don’t see anything else being carried with me.”
Suolang Wangdui pondered for a moment, and then said, "Well, let them come in! However, keep an eye on them. If they do anything strange, they will be killed without mercy!"
It's no wonder that Suolang Wangdui was careless. The Tubo people had indeed united with the Qiang people, and the Qiang people were indeed very interested in the Tubo people's strength.
Of course, there are only twenty-one people who are most important. Even if these people are gods descending to earth, they will not be able to cause any trouble in front of his 30,000 troops!
Moreover, he had already received the news that now, the main force of the Song Army should be in Maozhou.
Therefore, he had even thought that the Qiang people might send people here.
So, he was naturally not surprised by this!
After receiving the order, the city defenders rushed back to the city walls.
"Come here, open the city gate and let those damn Qiang people in.
In addition, a hundred-man team is coming out of the city and stationed outside the gate. If these Qiang people dare to play tricks, they will be cut down directly."
As this man's order was given, soldiers immediately came forward and began to slowly shake the heavy roller!
Although there is no moat outside Jiulong City, for the sake of safety, the city gate is still designed to open outwards.
The entire huge city gate is made of a huge piece of wood. Only when the city gate is completely knocked down can people inside and outside the city pass through the gate.
For a full quarter of an hour, with a dull roar, the city gate fell to the ground, and the entire Jiulong City opened wide.
Then, hundreds of Tubo people filed out of both sides of the queue and looked at the Orchard group with eager eyes.
Seeing that the gate was finally open, Orchard took a deep breath, then patted his horse and walked slowly towards the city gate.
However, when Orchard and his party were only about ten steps away from the gate, the horse Orchard was sitting on suddenly neighed. On the horse's back, Orchard suddenly panicked and screamed into a ball.
