Chapter 521 Close the door and beat the dog (4)

"Why did the Tubo people suddenly withdraw?"

This time, Tubo attacked the city very suddenly and tenaciously, and their retreat was also very simple and sudden. All the generals gathered at the head of the east city. Gu Yong looked outside the city and said rather strangely.

"Isn't it better to withdraw the troops?"

Zhao Feidu chuckled and said, of course he was very happy that Tubo finally withdrew.

Gu Yong shook his head: "That's not what I meant. Tubo persisted for so long when they had a chance to break the city. Why did they suddenly give up in the end? This is a bit unreasonable."

After everyone heard this, they felt that what Gu Yong said made sense.

Li Xun pondered for a moment and said: "If you don't understand, then don't think about it. Let's not let down our vigilance for the time being. We order all the officers and soldiers in the army to perform their duties and keep their weapons away from them, in case the Tibetans suddenly come back to attack us."

After guarding the city for so long, everyone was exhausted to the extreme, but this time, Zhao Feidu and others did not object to Li Xun's suggestion. Last time, Li Xun warned everyone not to relax their vigilance, but everyone ignored it, and in the end they were almost killed by Tubo.

When conquering a city, we must learn from the past and must take precautions.

Later, Li Xun sent scouts out of the city to see if the Tibetans had really withdrawn their troops or if they had ulterior motives.

After a brief explanation, Li Xun immediately ordered eight thousand soldiers and horses, led Shan Qiu, Zhao Wei and other generals to Xicheng, where there was still a Tibetan army that had not been dealt with.

After Li Xun and others arrived, the fighting on the west side of the city continued. With the arrival of Li Xun's reinforcements, the Tubo generals knew that the situation was over. Since the Jin army could still mobilize as many as 8,000 soldiers, it could only mean that the attack was over.

The city has ended, and Gewa has led the army to retreat. They are now fighting alone, and there is obviously no need to continue to hold on.

withdraw.

The Tubo general made a decisive decision and ordered the entire army to retreat. With a thousand men behind them, they guarded the port. The remaining less than 3,000 men withdrew their ships and successfully escaped.

The battle is over. The five hours of fierce fighting from last night to now are finally over.

After the victory of the war, many soldiers did not appear very excited and happy. They sat on the ground to rest one after another. They were too tired, and their physical strength and spirit had reached their limits. If Li Xun ordered a rest now, I am afraid many soldiers would immediately lie on the ground, whistling.

Big sleep.

Leaving some people to clean the battlefield and collect prisoners of war, Li Xun ordered the army to return to Dongcheng.

"Li Xun, Tubo must have really withdrawn this time. You don't look good, so you should go home and rest. I'm with you in Dongcheng and Zhao Wei is watching. Nothing will happen."

Shan Qiu, Zhao Wei, Zheng Chun and others came over and saw that Li Xun's face was not good and he looked tired, Shan Qiu couldn't help but said softly.

Li Xun shook his head: "I am the commander-in-chief. The soldiers have not rested yet. How can I take the first step? Let's go to Dongcheng to have a look. I can't sleep well without getting the exact news."

Shan Qiu glanced at Li Xun, nodded, and said no more.

Returning to Dongcheng, Wang Renzhi was also here. Li Xun nodded to him, and then immediately asked if the scouts who had gone out of the city to check for news had returned.

Gu Yong smiled and said: "Li Xun, the scouts have returned. The Tibetan army has really retreated. The vanguard cavalry and the rear infantry are dozens of miles apart. They are marching in a hurry. There must be a problem in Shenchi County, otherwise Gewa will not be able to retreat."

Would you like to return in such a hurry?"

After listening to Gu Yong's words, Li Xun's tense mind finally relaxed.

Li Xun looked at Wang Renzhi, chuckled and said, "The war has been won. What should you say to the soldiers?"

Wang Renzhi took a deep look at Li Xun, with a look of gratitude in his eyes. Without refusing, he raised his voice and shouted loudly to everyone: "My fellow soldiers, we have defeated the Tibetan thieves in this battle and won the victory. All those who have meritorious service will do so."

Sir, I will record everything in the record, and when the war is over, I will personally return to the court to report to the emperor and ask for credit and reward for everyone."

After hearing this, all the soldiers cheered. Although the voices sounded a little weak, the victory of the war and the rewards after the war made everyone feel happy after all.

Everyone chatted for a while, talking about the aftermath and city defense issues, and Li Xun was about to leave.

"The cavalry is coming."

Some soldiers shouted loudly.

Everyone's expressions suddenly became tense, thinking that the Tibetan army was back again. They quickly walked to the wall and looked outside. When they saw that there were only a dozen cavalry, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out to be a false alarm.

"Commander, I am Hou Quan, and I have important news to report."

When he got close to the city, Hou Quan raised his head, cupped his hands and shouted loudly to Li Xun.

Li Xun waved his hand and said: "They are our own people, let them in."

After Hou Quan entered the city, he saw Li Xun and immediately explained the situation in Shenchi County in detail.

After hearing what Hou Quan said, Li Xun was overjoyed, patted his shoulder heavily, laughed and said, "You have done a great job and saved us all."

No wonder Ge Wa suddenly led his army to retreat. There was indeed a problem in Shenchi County. An army of 60,000 people appeared and cut off his retreat. No wonder he was not nervous. If Shenchi County failed, even if Ge Wa captured Wu'an

Without the supply of food and grass in the city, everything is in vain. Of course, if Gewa knew the truth, the army of more than 60,000 people was just a group of bandits and common people, bluffing and arrogant, and he would be really angry and vomiting blood.

Broken Dragon Castle.

Compared with the fierce fighting in Wu'an City and the confrontation between the state and Li Zhong's 150,000 troops, a bloody coup just took place here.

Delong Langma intended to detain Gewa Xingchi, Zhang Zheng, Anka Pongan and others and deliver them to Gewa. However, his deputy general An Kangdanai was unwilling to work for Gewa. He was loyal to Tubo Zampu and secretly passed on the news.

, let Gewa Xingchi and others prepare in advance, and finally, with the help of Kondanai, the internal agent, they killed Delon Langma, purged the generals of the Gewa faction, and took control of the entire 20,000 soldiers of Broken Dragon Castle.

.

Gewa Xingchi squinted his eyes and looked at Long Langma's dead head in the box, with a expression on his face. It turned out that things were just as Lai Zonghan guessed. Delon Langma didn't really want to cooperate with him at all, but

He was preparing to take action against himself. If Lai Zonghan had not foresighted and I, Kondana, secretly conveyed the news, my fate would have been extremely miserable. It is precisely for this reason that Gewa Xingzhi attacked insidious villains like Delon Langma.

, can be said to be filled with hatred.

A group of people walked towards the lobby. Gewa closed the box, then stood up with a smile on his face. He bowed to everyone and said in a grateful tone: "If it weren't for everyone's help, I wouldn't be here."

I, Gewa Xingchi, will probably die without a burial place, so I will never thank you for your kindness. I, Gewa Xingchi, will definitely repay you in the future."

Lai Zonghan said quietly: "The matter has just begun and has not yet been successful. Let's talk about the future matters later. The most important thing now is how to welcome Zamp to Broken Dragon Castle."
