The foreign soldiers in the Jinchengguan City Village can no longer be called elite. The Sixty-one Dongdai, the headquarters of the Xifan Army, including the imperial guards, is the first echelon, and then there are various border troops, namely the field team composed of immigrants from Xifan. The city soldiers belong to the "garrison" nature, and are mostly composed of some of the Shepherds and Free People with little property in Xifan, plus some other tribes recruited by Wenmo.

So the Jinchengguan Village looked at the five thousand prisoners under it, and did not dare to dedicate themselves, nor did they dare to fight to fight against the Tang army. They could only ignite the urgent beacon and go to the city not far away to fight.

An hour passed, and Ming Huaiyi, who was in charge of the post, lost his patience. "My father said he would kill him if he was overtime. The military law was as good as a mountain, so he had to kill him!"

The sound of the trumpet was shocked, and hundreds of iron-armored Tang cavalry immediately came out of the formation. One of them ran straight from the prisoners of war and split them. The prisoners of Xifan were all tied to a long horse rope. Even if forty or fifty teams of people were savagely stormed by the Tang cavalry with brimming, a rope was tied up. One of them was knocked down, and the rest were also stumbled on the ground. The French people were persevering, and even so, few people cried and begged for mercy.

Then the Tang army's cavalry raised their hooves and trampled them hard, and the sound of flesh and bones bursting everywhere. Then they stabbed them with horse spears, and they slapped them with iron maces or flails, and blood mist splattered everywhere. The more than a thousand prisoners who were separated were trampled to death, stabbed to death, or killed by blunt steel objects. Their bloody corpses still maintained a string of postures, entangled and hugged each other, indescribable misery and horror.

This scene made the defenders of Jincheng Pass lose their souls on the spot, and the two battles were fought.

Many people surrounded the city defense envoy and begged him to make up his mind as soon as possible, whether to surrender or escape. The city defense envoy was also in powerless, and he said that this would have to be decided by the host.

"We are in the host, and I have heard that Gao Moro has killed people without blinking, not to mention that there are no elite soldiers who can withstand his military attacks! More than half of the casualties in the Battle of Huating were buried in Shanzhou City, and even Zanpu's elite soldiers were defeated and were not in Pingrong City Road. In my opinion, it is better to open the city walls and surrender early, and there may be still a chance, otherwise the more than a thousand prisoners killed in this instant would be the immediate ending of Jincheng Pass."

"Don't shake the morale of the army!" The city defense envoy shouted loudly and immediately pulled out the blade to execute the clamor.

At this moment, the powerful lineup of Gao Yue, Wei Gao led Fengyi, Dingwu and Yining armies had swept from the direction of Didao. From a distance, the Tang army's infantry and cavalry were all brilliant in armor and flags, and the vehicles were loaded with shiny bronze cannons and rockets. The foreign soldiers were scared when they looked at it.

Before sending troops, Gao Yue held Jia Dan's military accus map, climbed the high place and Wei Gao to refer to the paintings on all sides: "City Wu, this Lanzhou terrain is three parts, the south is Didao, the middle is Wuquan, and the north is Guangwu. Didao is the place where the Wei River is connected to the Wei River, the Qinghan (Hezhou), and the south is the gateway of Hehuang; Wuquan is the place where Lanzhou is located, and the north is the big river, and the south is surrounded by mountains, and the Yellow River crosses the Jinjin area, which is the key to Longyou and Hexi. It can be said that the Jincheng passes through the vast river and the east gate of Hehuang; and the northern border of Guangwu, Pipa Mountain and Wucheng guards are also connected to Guzang, Liangzhou. This place is the place that must be fought for in the military books. As long as Lanzhou is captured, you can enter Hehuang and close the entrances of Xifan; you can also enter Gan and Liang, Hexi, and continue to restore the Tang territory."

So Gao Yue asked Liu Haibin's Shen Cewei Rong army, the original Anxi Beiting Xingying, to attack Bohezhou, Taozhou, and Baosaizhou from Kanglang Mountain Road to the west; Xing Junya's Shence Xuanwei army went out northwest of Didao, entered Wu Nishui, and the Mati Valley between Jincheng Pass to control the estuary of the Yellow River and build camps to prevent Shang Qixin'er reinforcements from coming from Shanzhou; and also ordered Ye Shiliangbi, Sibo Daye's Baoyi army, and went to Taoshui to meet with one side; as for Shatuo, the ten thousand cavalry and horses of Tuyuhun also advanced from Huining in Huizhou, along the south bank of the Yellow River, and crossed the east side of Wuquan in Lanzhou.

There are also the entire Cheng, Qin, Die, Dang and Wei, and more than 10,000 people followed the army, responsible for ensuring the food route and assisting the formation.

In addition, Ximen Can also sent 10,000 troops to the Shence Decisive Army stationed in Yanzhou to dispatch 10,000 people, as a successor, to leave Muxia Pass and also travel to Lanzhou through Huizhou.

And his and Wei Gao's troops entered Jincheng Pass west of Lanzhou to prepare to attack the city.

When he met Ming Huaiyi and Mi Yuan who came to report, Gao Yue's order was very concise: "Since he killed a thousand prisoners of war and did not surrender, then the other prisoners were divided into four teams and took the lead and attacked the mountains in the south of Lanzhou City."

Soon, there were fireworks on the peaks south of Lanzhou, and all the foreign soldiers and cities were in a hurry. They looked down from a high point, but they saw that the mountains were tied up by ropes, rushing forward with their own prisoners of war. The Tang soldiers held muskets and boring rakes, followed closely behind closely. When the guards everywhere raised their bows and arrows and threw stones, the first target to be killed was their own people.

In the wolf smoke and beacon, Shang Qixin'er in Shancheng (the former Heyuan Army set up by the Tang Dynasty) dared to send reinforcements to rescue Lanzhou?

He just paced back and forth with a pale face. You should know that there were only three thousand soldiers in Lanzhou. If there were fallen, he would go northwest to Shanzhou for 400 miles and southwest to Hezhou for 300 miles. The cavalry could be said to be coming soon. How could the more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in his hands be enemies of the Tang army like wolves and tigers?

What's more, Shang Jiezan and Ma Chongying from Liangzhou are afraid that they are full of hatred and are ready to send troops to fight with him!

"Tell the Lanzhou guards that if you can guard the rules, you can guard them, but if you can't guard them, you will jump into the river and sacrifice your country..." Shang Qixin'er didn't say so absolutely. The implication is that if you really can't do it, you can surrender to the Tang army. Anyway, all of this is considered to be your "faithful death".

"Preserve the barn in Shancheng and the Zicheng on Tulou Mountain. In addition, all the soldiers and horses were abandoned. With me, I retreated to the Shibao City in the southwest of the state. It was a dangerous place. If you keep it there, you could protect the gateway to Qinghai and the lifeline plateau of Dafan. This would repay Zanpu's kindness!" Shang Qixin'er was passionate.

When the cage official under his command asked him, since he was going to abandon Shancheng and Shibao City, why did he still have to keep barn and Zicheng?

Shang Qixin'er's reply was very strange, saying that after all, we came to Helongdi, and we should not burn the barn before leaving, leaving a way out for the local Han people, so we can meet the Tang family in the future, right?

It turns out that Shang Qixin'er has already considered all aspects carefully.

In fact, secretly, Shang Qixin'er had instructed a confidant cage official named Lituomi to rush to Lanzhou to meet Gao Yue and Wei Gao, and discuss the ceasefire between the host and the Tang family alone.
