After receiving the news that the city gate had been tricked into opening, Li Zhong was immediately overjoyed. He immediately sent thousands of troops to kill Dragon Dragon Fort. After a few miles of journey, he arrived in just a moment. Under the city gate, the sound of killing was loud.

Marvin and the others were forced to keep retreating, and were about to be killed outside the city. Li Zhong's heart tightened, and he hurriedly urged his horses to rush towards the city gate, roaring, "Marvin, get out of the way."

The cavalry charges, blocks and dies! After Li Zhong shouted, thousands of cavalry behind him also shouted. The sound shook the world. Marvin turned around. His face was covered with blood, his face was full of excitement, and he grabbed a hand beside him.

A soldier pushed aside and shouted repeatedly: "The general is here, everyone, get out of the way."

As reinforcements continued to arrive, there were already more than a thousand Tibetan soldiers at the city gate. Seeing that Ma Wen was about to be killed and left the city, Slang Tsoma was relieved in his heart. Unfortunately, after several loud roars,

Afterwards, a large number of cavalrymen in the distance charged towards him with soaring murderous intent. Slang Tsoma's calm mind suddenly changed drastically, and his face turned extremely gray.

The defeat was irreversible. With the attack of the large cavalry, the Tibetan soldiers under the city gate were suddenly rushed to pieces. The Tibetan soldiers were killed and retreated one after another, and finally fled in all directions.

Li Zhong charged into the city with his horse and assigned one thousand troops to Ma Wen to guard the city gate and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive. Then he led more than two thousand soldiers and took advantage of the situation to rush into the city.

Just when Tubo was confronting Anbei general Hong Chenghao, Li Zhong and his subordinate general Cai Cheng were the guides, deceived the city gates into opening, captured the Broken Dragon Fort in one fell swoop, and cut off Tubo's escape route.

Three days passed quickly.

The third day of June.

Huang Xu, who was in Taozhou, was shocked when he received the news that Li Zhong had captured Duanlong Fort. He immediately spread the news and the morale of the soldiers of the three armies was greatly boosted. Afterwards, Huang Xu left 10,000 soldiers to defend the city and led the remaining three soldiers.

Ten thousand soldiers marched into Shenzhou and joined forces with Hong Chenghao. A total of 120,000 troops marched into Langzhou. On this battlefield, the Jin Dynasty's military strength had surpassed that of Tubo.

After hearing the news, Tubo Zampu was horrified. While blocking the news to prevent the soldiers of the three armies from losing their fighting spirit, he hurriedly sent people to Huizhou and ordered Delong Jiankang to immediately lead his troops to return for reinforcements.

Broken Dragon Castle.

In that battle in the middle of the night on May 30th, the general Slang Tsoma was killed in the rebellion. Most of the 5,000 defenders were killed in the battle, leaving less than 2,000 Tibetan soldiers. Li Zhong did not use the butcher knife again, and all of them were disarmed and detained.

"Commander, the soldiers have been assembled."

Someone comes to report.

Li Zhong nodded. The next target is Langzhou. Duanlongbao has fallen and all the food and supplies have been destroyed. Tubo will definitely counterattack desperately, otherwise they will be trapped in Longyou, with no life or death, so they must act quickly before Tubo

Before, give it a fatal blow.

"Commander, Cai Cheng is here."

Cai Cheng walked closer, bowed his hands and said, "Commander, you are looking for me."

Li Zhong nodded and chuckled: "I will leave five thousand soldiers to garrison the Broken Dragon Fort. Who do you think is the most suitable general?"

Cai Cheng felt a little baffled that Li Zhong would actually ask himself how he could answer such a question? He only knew Li Zhong and Ma Wen in this Jin army, and he was not familiar with the rest.

"Everything is decided by the commander-in-chief. How dare you speak nonsense!"

As a surrendered general who had just surrendered, Cai Cheng dared not speak nonsense.

Li Zhong smiled lightly: "How about you be the commander-in-chief?"

Cai Cheng was stunned for a moment and said involuntarily: "I will do it? Do you believe me?"

After finishing speaking, Cai Cheng felt that he had said the wrong thing. How could he talk about such a sensitive topic casually? He wanted to explain but didn't know what to say, so his face suddenly turned red.

Li Zhong said in a low voice: "Don't doubt people, don't doubt people. This is my consistent employment style, Li Zhong. I ask you, do you dare to be this general?"

Looking at Li Zhong's sincere face, Cai Cheng felt a strong warmth in his heart, and his eyes suddenly turned red. He knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The last general takes orders."

Li Zhong helped him up, said "take care", then turned and left.

"Commander, not long after Cai Cheng surrendered, you handed him such an important place, right..."

Cai Cheng surrendered just yesterday, and Li Zhong asked him to serve as the general of Broken Dragon Castle today. In Ma Wen's opinion, it was a bit rash.

Li Zhong smiled: "If we don't treat each other with sincerity and have a heart-to-heart relationship, how can Cai Cheng truly surrender to us?"

Cai Cheng smiled bitterly. He didn't know what to say, but after thinking about it, he understood. When had the commander-in-chief ever behaved himself, whether it was hiring people or doing things?

After besieging Huizhou, Delong Jiankang lost tens of thousands of troops and learned that the situation at the rear had changed. Zampuni Songmagun fired seven gold-medal arrows in one day, ordering him to immediately withdraw his troops and return to Langzhou to aid. Seeing that Huizhou was about to be captured.

After breaking through, the great opportunity could only be lost from his hands. Delong Jiankan looked up to the sky and sighed, and finally had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops.

Delong Jiankang had to withdraw his troops. Langzhou was in danger. Even if he conquered Huizhou, snatched more wealth, and made outstanding military exploits, if Zanpu made any mistakes, in the end, Delong Jiankang would have to pay with his life.

If he is guilty, even his family will suffer a severe blow.

When Delong Jiankang withdrew his troops, Yu Wenzhen did not lead the troops to pursue him. He had only one mission, which was to defend Huizhou.

The final decisive battle is about to come, and the minds of both sides have reached the highest point. This battle is of great significance. Whether it is for Li Zhong or the Tubo Zanpu Nisongmagon, it is extremely important. If Li Zhong is defeated, Longyou will lose everything.

, Anbei will also be in danger. If it wins, Tubo will be defeated so that it will not dare to offend the Jin Dynasty for at least ten years. It will also have the opportunity to take advantage of the civil strife in the Dashi Empire and the weak troops in the Western Regions to send troops to the west to regain what was lost for many years.

In the other seven states of Longyou, if the Tubo Zanpu Nisongmagon is defeated and his majesty is wiped out, even if he can return to Tubo alive, he will no longer have any right to speak. I am afraid that he will become the weakest authority among the Zanpu in the history of Tubo.

One, such a result will inevitably lead to Tubo falling into civil strife.

Liangzhou City.

The battle situation in Langzhou may have been tragic, but Li Xun's place seemed quite relaxed. Since the Tubo sneak attack that night and the big battle, the next few days have been calm and there has been no more fighting.

In the battle that night, the 20,000 troops in Ma Wu's hands did not lose anything. The real losses were Li Xun's troops, or the troops of Shan Qiu and Mao Anfu, 10,000 soldiers. After a fierce battle overnight, nearly half of them were killed or injured.

, it can be said to be very tragic, and therefore, during this period, Ma Wu was very affectionate and close to Li Xun and others. He personally wrote to the court and proposed to the emperor to ask for credit for them.

During a fierce close-range battle with Tubo, Li Xun was stabbed in the back. Fortunately, it was only a skin injury. He has been recuperating in Liangzhou City for the past few days.

In the yard, Li Xun was sitting there drinking tea, watching with interest Jiang Daxiong practicing martial arts there.

At this time, Shan Qiu and Mao Anfu arrived.

Li Xun looked at them and saw that neither of them looked very good.

"Have all the brothers who died in the battle been buried?"

Mao Anfu nodded silently and said: "The burial has been completed and the roster has been sorted out."

Li Xun patted him on the shoulder. These people had followed Mao Anfu for many years and had never been afraid. Now that so many people had died in the battle, how could Mao Anfu not feel uncomfortable.

"I just hope that the imperial court can consider them sacrificing their lives for the country and give them more compensation so that their relatives at home can have a better life." Shanqiu sighed. The loss of his five thousand infantry was smaller, less than two thousand.

people.

Li Xun said: "The Governor told me that the thousands of Tibetan soldiers captured this time will be returned to the Tibetans in a paid manner, and all the property received will be given to us to be used as pensions for the soldiers who died in the war.

"

"This is the best thing."
