Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 472
This time Zhang Yi did not stop Wang Zhe from attacking Qingtang, and even supported him to take down Qingtang City at once, which surprised Wang Zhe and the generals.

They thought that Zhang Yi had to make some kind of mess this time, but now it seems that this guy is not as good at directing as he imagined.

"Okay, since the Boss of Jingyang County let us attack, then if we don't take down Qingtang City, we will be a little sorry for the expectations of the Boss of Jingyang County."

Wang Zhe said half-jokingly, and at the same time, he waved his hand and sent someone to order soldiers.

"No, this is none of my business. If you win the battle, you will be responsible for the battle. If you lose, you will be responsible for the blame. I just wish you success."

Zhang Yi cupped his hands to the sky as he said, and let Wang Zhe and the others start attacking the city with a smile.

In fact, there is almost no problem for them to take Qingtang City now. The continuous internal strife has drastically reduced the Tubo soldiers in Qingtang City and the Tubo young men who can fight with knives.

Previously, Qingtang City claimed to have [-] fighting men, but after this internal strife, I am afraid that there will be only one or two out of ten.

The Tang army quickly assembled, but there were still so many Tubo people on the walls of Qingtang City. Even from outside Qingtang City, they could see that many people on the walls threw away their weapons and ran away.

Such a situation is extremely beneficial to the Tang army. The Tubo people have no desire to fight, and it is a certainty that they will win Qingtang City.

"It's not too late, let's attack!"

After the army was assembled, Wang Zhe didn't say much, and simply gave the order to attack.

The officers and soldiers of the Tang army who couldn't wait howled, waved their weapons and rushed towards Qingtang City.

This time Wang Zhe kept an eye out, instead of continuing to trap Qingtang City from all sides, he only attacked from three sides, and deliberately opened a gap on the other side to let those escaped Tibetans run there.

After all, the battle of trapped beasts is very scary.

However, it would be naive to think that Wang Zhe would let these Tubo people go so kindly. On both sides of this gap, there are archers of the Tang army. It is not easy to rush out from here. Ten people can have one or two It was extremely lucky to rush out.

The [-] Tang troops attacked Qingtang City from three sides, and the Tubo soldiers on Qingtang City saw this scene and their legs went weak.

If it was before, they still had the courage to stick to it, because at that time they still had the support of the people behind them, and the morality in their hearts and the eyes of the people made them unable to retreat.

But after the civil strife last night, everything changed. People no longer looked at them as their relatives and friends, but looked at them like enemies, let alone the support of the people. When Tang Jun attacked them, those young and strong men were already thankful for not stabbing them in the back with knives.

What's more, after the civil strife last night, their number has dropped sharply, even the number of Tubo young and strong people in the city has also dropped sharply. Now the entire Qingtang City, men, women, old and young together are less than 5 people. How could it be the Tang army? opponent.

You know, there are [-] to [-] fully armed Tang troops outside the city, and they are not motley troops. Those Tang soldiers are all regular troops, fully armed and well equipped, and they have many tactics that they can't understand.

Under the inevitable defeat situation, no one would be stupid enough to die in this place, even those loyal people did not want to die in this place like this, because the civil strife that erupted in Qingtang City made them ashamed.

Therefore, when the Tang army outside the city began to charge with magic weapons, some people began to drop their weapons and run away.

Things like running away are like infectious diseases. As long as there is the first one, then there will be the second, third, and countless number of them.

More and more Tibetan soldiers are fleeing, and fewer and fewer Tibetan soldiers are holding on. As for the fleeing Tibetan soldiers, no one can stop them, because anyone with a certain official title and status has already run faster than them. Soon.

Especially those who followed the Tubo generals had gathered together a long time ago, and only waited for the Tang army to break through the city and neglected to take precautions, rushing out from the northwest where the Tang army's defense was weakest.

Most of the Tubo soldiers chose to flee for their lives, and there were only a small number of people left who could not hold the city wall at all. The soldiers of the Tang army almost drove straight in without any decent resistance at all.

It took less than a quarter of an hour from the start of the siege to the destruction of the city, which shows how fast the Tubo people retreated.

As soon as Qingtang City was breached, thousands of Tubo troops who had been prepared for a long time rushed out from the northwest direction of Qingtang City.

To the northwest is the opening that Wang Zhe left to prevent the Tubo people from fighting.

"General, those Tibetans are sure to escape from there."

A general came galloping from a distance on a horse.

"Under the temptation of life, they will naturally run from there. If there is a way to go, they will not choose to open up a road by themselves."

As Wang Zhe spoke, he directly urged his horse to sit down and began to walk towards Qingtang City. While walking, Wang Zhe also gave orders to the general who had just come to report the battle situation.

"Send cavalry to stop the Tubo soldiers. In this battle, try not to let these Tubo people escape. I will slaughter all the Tubo soldiers in Qingtang City and the surrounding area."

When Wang Zhe said this, his eyes were full of fierceness. During this period of time, what the Tubo people have done has greatly exceeded the limit they can accept, so now, it should be Datang and them. Time to get your interest back.

"promise!"

The general cupped his hands after receiving the order, then immediately turned his horse's head and rushed northwest.

Since Wang Zhe said that, he must personally lead a few cavalry teams to chase those Tubo people.

If the Tibetans want to break through the encirclement, they must rush out of the place where they set up an ambush with archers in the northwest.

And if thousands of Tubo cavalry want to rush out from there, at least two-thirds of the troops must be left behind. It is estimated that only a thousand Tubo cavalry will be able to rush out there.

In that area, nearly ten thousand Tang cavalrymen were already waiting. Once those Tubo cavalry rushed out, they would strangle them without hesitation.

"Qingtang City, Qingtang City, after so many years, our Tang army can finally step in."

Wang Zhe was moved by the vicissitudes of the ancient city of Qingtang in front of Wang Zhe.

For a long time, the Tubo people have used Qingtang City as their base to invade and occupy in the direction of Hehuang. Now they directly take Qingtang City, which means directly destroying the arrangement of the Tubo people for many years.

And they are not just as simple as taking down Qingtang City. In this battle, the entire Qingtang City is almost wiped out. If the Tubo people do not emigrate in large numbers from other places, then the term Qingtang City will completely become history. .
