Chapter 230 Winning the Fortress

Seeing that the situation was critical, Li Ye picked up a rope ladder and sternly said to Li Siye: "After I go to the city, throw the Mo knife to me!"

After speaking, he carried the rope ladder and ran towards the Golden Fort, and everyone exclaimed.

Li Siye shouted, "Bring me another Mo knife!"

The soldier quickly handed him a Modao, and Li Siye also ran towards the military city with two Modao.

An Taixuan and Pei Xiu also reacted at the same time, shouting: "Let's keep up!"

They led their men to rush forward
Li Ye jumped onto the city wall and climbed towards the top of the city like a gecko. He was climbing the side wall, and the huge shadow of the castle enveloped him.

Feng Changqing also understood, and shouted, "Fire the arrow!"

Two thousand soldiers of the Tang army shot arrows at the front of the city together, and the arrows shot towards the city like a torrential rain.

But the Tubo soldiers were already vigilant. More than a dozen soldiers first spotted Li Ye in Pancheng. They leaned out together and shot arrows at Li Ye on the city wall.

Li Ye clung to a protruding rock with one hand, and drew out his saber behind him to slash the flying arrows.

There was a scream from the top of the head, and several Tubo soldiers fell into the city with arrows. It was Pei Xiu and An Taixuan who led their men to shoot and kill five Tubo soldiers who leaned out.

The rest of the Tubo soldiers shrank back in fright.

Without the threat of bows and arrows, Li Ye retracted the knife and sheathed it, continued to climb up, and saw the top of the city.

At this time, a spear stabbed at him fiercely, and Li Ye grabbed the spear shaft with his left hand. The Tubo soldiers were shocked and instinctively yanked the spear back.

With the help of the other party's pull, Li Ye jumped onto the top of the wall and slashed out with a horizontal knife in his hand, 'Puff! 'A human head was chopped off, a headless corpse fell to the ground, and there was a gap in front.

Li Ye rolled forward and rolled into the top of the city, and shot six cold lights in succession from his hands. Six Tubo soldiers were shot through their heads and fell limply to the ground. The other Tubo soldiers backed away in shock.

Li Ye seized this momentary opportunity and threw the ladder down the city with all his strength, and the other end of the ladder was put on the battlements.

Li Siye shouted, "Brother, take the knife!"

With a wave of his hand, he threw a gleaming Modao towards the city. Li Ye copied it with his hand and grasped the handle of the knife precisely. With a swirl of the blade, a cold arc flashed, and the three Tubo soldiers screamed. Cut off by the Mo knife, blood spurted out.

This Mo knife made Li Ye feel like a sword. Li Ye slashed left and right, and the Tubo soldiers rushed up desperately. The spray dyed him crimson, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood and stench.

But Li Ye never left the city wall, he was protecting the ladder, when suddenly, a huge black shadow jumped onto the city wall like an eagle, "I'm coming!"

Master Mo Dao led Li Siye to the top of the city second. He was wearing heavy armor and was two meters tall, like a giant. It was really not easy to climb the city.

But the effect of Li Siye's going to the city was immediate. He was not afraid of arrows, and blocked the arrows shot by a group of archers from the east city for Li Ye, and the range of the two expanded to three feet.

However, two armor-piercing arrows still hit Li Ye's back, but failed to penetrate his body. The self-defense underwear he obtained in the secret room of Taipingfang finally played a role at this time.

Li Siye was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly realized that Li Ye might still have fine armor.

Dozens of Tubo soldiers came up, and the two shouted, "Kill—"

The two Mo knives flew up and down, and they cooperated tacitly, killing corpses all over the place. There were stumped limbs, broken arms and corpses cut into two parts, and the internal organs were all over the ground.

Lun Boruoxi rushed up with more than 100 soldiers, and soldiers from the Tang Army began to climb up the rope ladder continuously, and the leader was An Taixuan.

Li Ye pointed to the seven or eight archers in the east corner and said to An Taixuan, "Get rid of those archers first!"

"Follow the order!"

An Taixuan led a dozen soldiers and rushed towards a group of Tubo archers.

Pei Xiu also came up, followed by soldiers from the Tang army, who threw down three rope ladders, and the soldiers from the Tang army on the three rope ladders climbed up like ants.

Li Siye ordered: "Lieutenant Pei protect the rope ladder and don't leave!"

"Follow the order!"

Li Siye shouted again: "Little General Li, let go of your hands and kill him! Kill him to your heart's content."

The two of them had no worries, and rushed up together wielding the Mo Dao. The cold light flickered, and they rushed into the crowd of Tubo soldiers side by side. They were like two gods of killing.

The Tubo soldiers were also extremely ferocious. They were not afraid of death, and they killed in groups. One group of soldiers was chopped into pieces, and another group of soldiers came up.

This is also one of the important reasons why Tubo caused the Tang Dynasty such a headache. The soldiers of Tubo were not afraid of death, and no one dared to take a step back without the command of the general to retreat. The battle was very powerful.

If anyone dared to risk their lives and run away, the whole family would have a foxtail on their heads, and they would not be able to lift their heads up for the rest of their lives. If they died in battle, the imperial court would provide them with support for their wives, children, and parents.

It is for this reason that the Tubo army is extremely brave, and has been the confidant of the Tang Dynasty for 200 years. Even Chang'an was captured by the Tubo army.

The biggest weakness of Tubo is that its national strength is too weak. It only has a population of one million. After all the people are turned into soldiers, agricultural production will naturally be greatly affected.

The 200-year confrontation with the Tang Dynasty was also thanks to Tianzhu's support. There was a real shortage of food and supplies, so Tubo went to Tianzhu to plunder a large amount of food, livestock and supplies.

But the Tubo people were really not used to the low-altitude and hot and humid climate of Tianzhu, so although they went to Tianzhu to plunder food and supplies, they could not occupy Tianzhu.

Another major weakness of Tubo is that its armor is relatively backward. This is also related to the lack of national power. The production of pig iron is insufficient. Most soldiers use short swords and shields, and their armor is also leather armor. Some soldiers use the spears captured by the Tang army. If it is Zanpu's guards, they wear chain mail and have stronger combat effectiveness.

Another important reason is that the Tubo soldiers are adapted to fighting on the plateau, while the Tang army in the Central Plains could not do it in the high-altitude Dafeichuan area.

However, the Anxi Tang Army is also adapted to plateau operations. Although this is the Pamir Plateau with an altitude of more than 4000 meters, the combat effectiveness of the Anxi Tang Army soldiers is equally strong.

More and more soldiers of the Tang army killed the top of the city, surpassing the number of Tubo soldiers in the city. Seeing that the situation was over, Lunpo could only sigh, "Retreat!"

He took the rest of more than 100 people to escape from the south gate and fled to the Dora Canyon. He also knew the intention of the Tang army, and he must point his sword at the Shiguo.

But there are still dangerous passes on the way to the Shiguo, and he still has a chance.

The city gate opened, thousands of Tang troops poured into the Golden Fort, and finally took down this extremely strong castle.

Li Siye and Li Ye wiped off the thick blood sauce on their faces, looked at each other, and laughed together.
