6. Shazhou Zhongzhijian

Now the entire Tang and Tibet war has been ignited in various battlefields such as Jiannan, Hexi, Longshan, Huizhou, etc.

Both sides were carefully and cautiously examining all the true and false information. When Soma crossed Namgongchuan and rushed to Namgong, the nearest South Army Town of Xifan and Zhuzhou, the local city defense ambassador Lu Dongchai lit up five thousand troops and set off from Namgong Castle immediately;

Next, Sita Yang Zhu, the ambassador of Lacheng City who was besieged in Taideng City, also set off with 5,000 troops.

Then Qinghai Chengjieer concluded the conclusion...

At the same time, the news that Gao Yue of the Tang army and Wei Gao's army began to attack the Weizhou was also reported to the Lushi City on the plateau, one post station and another post station.

Shang Jiezan was panicked and immediately entered the red Zanpu Palace and met Chisong Dezan.

"Now let you tell me, what should I do?" Zanpu, who was sitting on the golden couch, asked Shang Jiezan worriedly.

This fashionable knot looks like a dead face.

At the beginning, the suggestion of besieging Dunhuang in Shazhou was that he jointly recommended Ma Chongying to Mangre (the Great Essay on the South Dao) and the Great Essay on the Descendant (the Great Essay on the Middle Dao of Qinghai) to Zanpu.

However, the Tang army attacked the martyrdom where his eldest son was defending, with the purpose of not taking care of each other in the head and tail, and the purpose was to "surround Wei and save Zhao"!

This made Shang Jiezan hesitant, helpless and painful. In front of Zanpu, he had no choice but to ask for the withdrawal of the army besieged by Shazhou and to support the Weizhou.

Nothing else, just because his eldest son is hiding there.

He longs to save beggars and hide, but he is afraid to give the people a sense of truth.

"The Yunling Grand Theory in the Ruozhou is Shang Jiezan's eldest son who is asking for hiding and covering it, is it?" At this moment, Queen Cai Bang, who was sitting on the couch, asked with concern, with cold ice in her words. Then she bowed and said to Zanpu: "The army that attacked Shazhou should be put...."

"No!" When Shang Jiezan shouted this, his heart was actually bleeding. His nails almost dug out the flesh. Finally, he said sadly, "I beg to hide in the wooden slips and said that he would defend Zanpu's Dengtai City and the entire Zhuzhou, including Shenchuan, Huichuan, Nangong, Lacheng, Saigong and Qinghai, the six troops were enough to defeat Gao Yue and Wei Gao."

Hearing this, Chisongdezan looked at Shang Jiezan, who was lying on the steps, and his eyes showed a sad expression. The noble Shang in front of him had no arrogance as a nobleman? He was like an old cow with a trembling head, watching his calf, fighting with the tiger and the lion with his horns.

"Wei Gao is as brave as a lion, Gao Yue is as cruel as a tiger, and there is also the barbarian king Yi Mouxun who is as cunning as a fox on the battlefield. I am worried about the situation of hiding and hiding, just like my own son."

At this moment, Queen Cai Bang sneered in her heart again and raised her tone, "Please give orders to..."

"No!" Shang Jiezan's eyes were red, like a life-sacrificing gambler, with blue veins on his face bulging, "Please Zanpu must not give up on his attack on Shazhou City, must not..."

Speaking of this, his voice was half hoarse.

At this time, Chisong Dezan also sighed and seemed particularly painful. After a long time, he also made a voice: "Since this is the case, he ordered the warriors of Dafan in various departments under Shazhou to step up the attack. In addition, let Ben Yongzhong's birds go to Wuyou City to tell the South Road that it was not enough to just help Wuyou City, Saigong and Lacheng soldiers to rescue Qizang and Xizang again. Therefore, Hong and Songzhou soldiers should do their best to ensure that Qizang and Xizang are safe and sound."

Now that it stretches for thousands of miles, two anxious points appear in the entire battle situation, which are shining and burning. One is that Xifan is exerting all his strength to attack Dunhuang City, Shazhou, and the Tang family is exerting all his strength to rescue. The other is Wei Gao, Gao Yue is exerting all his strength to attack Taideng City, and Xifan is also exerting all his strength to rescue.

Whoever can persevere will be the winner of this competition.

As for Yuan Hui who was in charge of Wancheng and the Tang army around him, he fell into a silence and tranquility that could not be described but understood.

Between the Tang and the Thai people, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses were involved. It is indeed appropriate to describe the various troops on both sides as "doing all their strength".

In Dunhuang, in the red and yellow city walls and red horn towers, the brave soldiers and civilians of Shazhou and the last elites of the Tang people in Hexi were only three or four thousand strong men, but they were traveling through the city, braved the arrow feathers shot by the soldiers and horses of Xifan, grabbed all the available weapons beside them, and under the guidance of the governor Yan Chao, they fought to resist the fierce attack of Xifan.

Ma Chongying used a seven-spin stone thrower to shoot huge fires into the city. The soldiers and civilians in the city used wooden tubes and water bags to make pumps to spray water to extinguish the flames;

Ma Chongying built earthen mountains, towers and stormed arrows to the city. Yan Chao erected a cannon in the city during the day, and asked the women and children to raid them, smashed the towers and slashed them at night, and selected dead soldiers to set fire at night. The fortifications of Xifan's siege within three miles of the city wall were almost all burned;

Ma Chongying sent people to dig dark trenches and dig them under Dunhuang City to destroy the walls. Yan Chao asked people to dig trenches from the city and destroy Xifan's efforts;

Ma Chongying made a donkey cart and attacked the city with a well railing. Yan Chao asked the city to have a huge rope and iron hook. The hook overturned the donkey cart. He also used the fierce tinder produced by Shazhou to put it into the tank, throw it into pieces, break it, and burned the well railing of Xifan.

More than fifty days have passed after such days when there is no reinforcements.

The casualties of the military and civilians in Dunhuang were also heavy. More than 500 people died in battle and died suddenly. The bodies were covered with white cloth and were lying densely in the Bodhi Temple in the city. The monks sat cross-legged there, chanting scriptures endlessly.

"If you stick to it, the reinforcements from the four Anxi towns will immediately cross the sand sea to the west and come to reinforce us!" During the fierce battle, Yan Chao, who had two sons killed in battle, had no chance to cry sadly. He always held the sword tightly and inspired his subordinates, and defeated the foreign soldiers who climbed up the city again and again.

At the foot of the majestic Thousand Foshan in Kucha City, a horseman from Dunhuang, Hexi was hit by an arrow on his shoulder. It was shot by Xifan's cavalry in the desert under the Bibiao City. Except for this one, all other partners have been sacrificed.

And this brave survivor, along the almost dry river channel, went to the river in front of Qianfo Mountain, and saw the Kucha city wall with a Persian-style round tower standing in the distance, touched the already shriveled water bag, and could no longer bear the torture of arrow wounds, and the sound of the gurgling fell straight from the horse's back.

When several scout cavalry from Kucha helped him up, he opened his eyes, burned out his last life, and said three words, "Save Dunhuang."

Then the life of the unknown hero disappeared in the desert under Qianfo Mountain.
