The general felt that what Hou Junji said was very reasonable.

They are at least two hundred miles away from Gaochang Capital, and only thirty miles away from the Tang army.

When their tens of thousands of troops returned to rescue Gaochang City, the Tang army had already captured him.

It doesn't make sense for them to go.

But now the army does not go to rescue Songtsen Gampo, how can this be reasonable?

That's the king of Tubo, so he just let it go?

The Tang army would never let Songtsen Gampou go easily.

Are they just watching here?

"But Your Majesty and the others are still in Gaochang Capital. What should you do if Your Majesty is caught by the Tang army?" The general looked at Hou Junji with a graceful face.

"His Majesty the King was able to unify the entire Tubo tribes in a short period of time, but he would not even watch the Tang army attack the capital of Gaochang."

"Even if Gaochang City can't be defended in the end, His Majesty will leave early."

"We don't have to worry."

"You leave now, don't tell what happened just now. Our top priority now is to quell the rebels first. After His Majesty comes, we will fight back to Gaochang Capital." Hou Junji instructed the general in front of him.

The general didn't know what to do now, so he could only nod helplessly.

The general walked out of the tent, and Hou Junji's face immediately became gloomy.

The Tang army besieged Gaochang Capital, which was exactly what Hou Junji wanted to see.

Only when Songzan's cadre was captured or killed by the Tang army could he Hou Junji completely control his army.

If it is even possible, all the anger will be transferred to the Tang army through the death of Songtsen cadre.

He is more likely to bring the rebels who are surrendered.

At that time, Hou Junji will hold more than 100,000 people and horses in his hand, and he will swim like a fish in the sea. Li Shimin still has to beware of him at all times.

It is absolutely impossible to lead the army to rescue Songtsen Gampo.

...

"Your Highness, this is really strange. We have been waiting here for a day. Hou Junji has not mobilized his army to rescue Gaochangdu City. What does Hou Junji want to do?" Niu Jinda looked at Gaochangdu City in the distance, his face full of dissatisfaction.

untie.

Hou Junji was holding all the soldiers and horses under Songtsen Gampo in his hand, but after a day, he didn't see any movement of Hou Junji to mobilize his troops.

Could it be that Hou Junji doesn’t plan to save Songzan’s cadres?

"It seems that Hou Junjie wants to start his own business." Zhao Chen said lightly, looking at Gaochang Capital ahead.

Where were thousands of climax people tied outside the capital of Gaochang, and Songtsen Gampo's soldiers were hidden behind these Gaochang people.

Obviously, they were planning to treat these tall and tall people as scapegoats and walls of flesh and shields to resist the attacks of the Tang army.

"Uncle Niu, let the army attack."

"Since Hou Junji is not deceived, there is no need for us to waste time here again." Zhao Chen looked at Niu Jinda and issued an order.

Niu Jinda didn't say anything else, nodded and drove his horse to the front of the formation: "Dang Dynasty men, we are back again, we must take down Gaochangdu today."

"Take down the Tubo king Songtsen Gampo!"

"Forward battalion, follow me to attack!"

"Kill!" The ten thousand Tang soldiers from the Forward Camp let out a deafening cry, killing forward like a tide.

...

"General, the Tang army opposite is coming!" On the tower of Gaochang City, a side general looked at the Tang army rushing towards him in front of him, and his face immediately showed panic.

The generals on the side also changed their faces.

Thousands of Gaochang people were detained at the gate of Gaochang City. It might seem that the Tang army did not see it.

He rushed over without any scruples.

Don’t the soldiers of the Tang army care about the lives and deaths of these Gaochang people?

The general guarding the city showed a look of surprise and grabbed the bricks of the city wall in front of him with his right hand.

"Let the soldiers be prepared. If the Tang army does not care about the lives of these people at all, we should not show any mercy."

"We only have one thousand people, and we cannot easily break through the city gate and swear to protect His Majesty's safety." The general guarding the city said sternly.

Although his face was panicked, he had no intention of retreating.

Songtsen Gampo trusted Hou Junji, but it does not mean that he does not have a loyal and reliable person under his command.

"Yes." The side next to him nodded.

Although everyone was nervous on the Tubo soldiers on the city tower, the weapons in their hands were still tightly grasped.

These thousand of them are the personal guards of Songtsen cadres, which is why Hou Junji failed to take these people away.

"Kill!" The shouts of the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty from far to near. When the people of Gaochang downstairs saw the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty who were rushing towards them like a tide, they were so scared that they were trembling all over. There was indeed no way to escape.

The archers from the vanguard camp bent their bows and shot at the Tubo defenders on the city tower.

The Tubo defenders could only cats behind the walls, watching the pillars behind them being shot into hedgehogs by arrows.

Some of the Tubo defenders were shot by arrows on the spot and fell from the city tower.

"We're done, we're done."

"What should we do? Why did we become what we are now?"

"We are innocent!"

Under the city tower, the people of Gaochang were yelling while avoiding the rain of arrows.

They had no idea what they had done wrong and were treated like this.

The war between the Tang Dynasty and the Tubo actually required them to bear it.

They were first captured by the Tubo army, but now they were shot by the Tang army without any scruples. The people of Gaochang were already desperate.

But no one listened to their cry, and rainy arrows flew out of the air.

The Tubo army on the city tower also began to fight back with bows and arrows.

The Tubo soldiers who were originally monitoring them behind them were also evacuated one after another.

Only ordinary people were left waiting to die silently in the rain of arrows.

Looking at the Gaochang people who were constantly dying in front of him, Niu Jinda looked back at Zhao Chen and saw that there was no expression on his face.

I couldn't sigh in my heart.

Zhao Chen did nothing wrong, he was just being a commander and what he should do.

They are indeed innocent to these Gaochang people.

It's a pity that no one can help them.

"Continue to attack the city!" Niu Jinda continued to issue orders.

The soldiers of the Forward Battalion were still slowly moving towards the direction of Gaochangdu City in front.

The vanguard battalion of ten thousand people attacked Gaochangdu, which had only one thousand defenders, and this was not a battle at all.

It is a massacre that is almost equivalent to a unilateral massacre.

In just one hour, more than half of the 1,000 Tubo defenders on the city tower of Gaochang City had lost.

The Tang Dynasty soldiers' vanguard battalion had already rushed to the city tower, and Niu Jinda personally climbed up the city tower to fight with the Tubo soldiers guarding the city.
