The war horse neighed in grief, rushed forward, and escaped with Kuo Zhiyong.

However, the Gaochang people behind him could not hide, and they were knocked over for a moment. The knights on the serial horses waved their iron spears and kept reaping the lives of the Gaochang people.

The most pitiful thing is the infantry behind the cavalry. The width of the front of the 12th group of Tiefutu is more than 100 meters. Within this range of more than 100 meters, the infantry of the Gaochang people were first knocked down by Tiefutu, and then trampled by horse hooves. Even if they escaped the trampling of the first row of Tiefututu, there were two rows waiting for them behind.

When dealing with these infantrymen, the Tiefutus were too lazy to wave their iron spears. As long as they were crushed directly, they would basically be dealt with.

The warriors of Gaochang Kingdom were scattered in the face of such terrifying weapons, and they hated their parents for giving birth to two less legs. Some brave warriors also waved their scimitars and slashed at Tiefutu. However, their scimitars slashed on Tiefutu's thick armor, as if they were tickling for others, and then they ran into a flew.

Just as Tiefutu was attacking, the crutches on both sides of the grassland people also took the opportunity to attack. They killed the remaining enemies who had luckily escaped the impact range of Tiefututu on both sides.

The people of Gaochang were basically scared and fled desperately towards the city.

Fortunately, Tiefutu only hit a few hundred steps, but it stopped because of excessive physical exhaustion. Some people in Gaochang escaped into the city by luck.

The entire battle process lasted for a few minutes from the charge of Tiefutu to the stop of advancing. However, in these few minutes, the Gaochang people lost nearly a thousand people, and the soldiers were scared out of fear. They no longer had the ability to launch an attack.

Just like in later movies, after the protagonist took over the enemy, a large number of police arrived.

At this time, Sima Jiong appeared with reinforcements.

It’s really not their fault. Sima Jiong received the order that he could only appear to save him when Ashinaqing was in danger.

When the army marched, not only should they send vanguards in front, but also scouts behind them to prevent enemy troops from following them. Sima Jiong could not be found by Asunaqing, and so his men could only follow them ten miles away, and then sent scouts to follow them secretly.

At the beginning of the battle in the north of the city, the scouts sent by Shi Ma Jiong could not see it. When he saw a large number of enemy troops coming out of the city, he realized the danger and hurried back to report to Sima. He ran back to this place. Sima Jiong hurriedly came with his men and horses again.

Therefore, when they arrived, the battle was over.

Although Asinaqing and Asina Kuncang defeated the Gaochang people, they had only 500 people left and were unable to attack the city. Seeing Sima Jiong arrive, they were overjoyed.

Although Ashinaqing had guessed Sima Jiong's purpose, she still wanted to hear him tell the reason for their arrival.

Sima Jiong said: "Princess, the prince is worried about your safety, so he asked me to follow you secretly and provide you with protection when you need it most. The prince's heart is so delicate." He shook his head while saying that, expressing his admiration.

Ashinaqing felt warm in her heart and her eyes were wet. She didn't want Sima Jiong to see her expression, so she turned her head to the side. She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Then she turned her head and said:

"General Sima, you are here just in time. Let's attack the city together."

At this time, it was already past 10 a.m.

Sima Jiong sent 500 cavalrymen to detour the north gate to block the enemy's retreat.

He said to Asunaqing: "Prince, it seems that he can't defeat the city before noon. In order to avoid the prince's concern, I suggest sending someone to report the situation here to the prince."

Ashinaqing said, "Okay, just send someone back. Tell the prince that I will definitely defeat this city."

Outside the south gate, Ashinaqing sent someone to persuade the surrender again. This time, the conditions she put forward included the requirement to hand over the murderer of Ashina Hegan.

Tuo Zhiyong fled back to the city and felt that although the enemy's Tiefutu was powerful, it also had its weakness, that is, its number was small. He believed that the number of his troops was still higher than that of the enemy. As long as his troops were dispersed and surrounded them from all directions, the Tiefutututu of the enemy would be difficult to play its role.

Therefore, he also wanted to organize his troops to go out of the city to fight again.

But his officers and soldiers were already scared. When they heard that they were going to continue fighting with the enemy, the soldiers looked like earth, and no one dared to accept the battle with him.

At this moment, the enemy's reinforcements arrived again. Tuo Zhiyong had no choice but to completely give up the idea of ​​defeating the enemy. He now knew that he could not take the residents here to the Uighurs. So he planned to escape by himself with his confidants.

His confidants were the cavalry he brought from Tiandi County. After several battles, there were less than 200 people left.

He briefly discussed with the officers among these people and decided to escape from the north gate immediately.

At this time, Sima Jiong's cavalry had not yet arrived at the North Gate.

When Kuo Zhiyong and others arrived at the north gate, they saw Ningrong County City Commander standing in front of the gate. He and hundreds of people blocked the gate, not allowing him to leave. It seemed that he wanted to sacrifice him and protect the people in the city.

Tuo Zhiyong wanted to rush out, but those people were holding weapons. He knew that Tang Jun would not spare him, so he pulled out his sword helplessly and committed suicide by tying his sword.

Afterwards, the Ningrong County Chief led the civil and military officials in the city and carried the head of Tuo Zhiyong, and opened the city to surrender.

Sima Jiong immediately sent a second group of messengers to report to Li You.

Besides, Li You, worried about Ashinaqing's safety, came to help with 3,000 people. Not long after he walked out, he met Baihu's men and brought them together to march.

At 5 pm, he saw the messenger sent by Sima Jiong, and then he felt relieved.

Besides, Hou Junji commanded the Tang army surrounded Gaochang City, and then he realized that Gaochang City was far more difficult to attack than they thought.

Gaochang Country is rich in yellow clay and purple clay, which is very sticky. When building the city wall, willow willow branches were added inside. This effect is equivalent to reinforced concrete. In addition, there is a drought and rain here, and the city wall is extremely solid.

The city wall in Gaochang is three meters high, with a width of 5 meters above it. There are a large number of clay blocks piled up on it, each weighing 8 kilograms. If you throw it down from it, the ladder can be broken.

At this time, there were more than 23,000 military and civilians in Gaochang City and 3,000 military personnel. There were tens of thousands of young and middle-aged men. Tuo Wentai had been operating here for decades and stored a large amount of supplies, enough for the military and civilians in the city to consume more than one year.

Tuo Wentai had sent a messenger for help, and he was determined to hold on to the city and wait for the rescue of the Western Turks.

Hou Junji and Gao Yong organized two sieges, but failed and lost hundreds of troops.

Seeing that Hou Junji could not defeat Gaochang City for a while, he sent someone to send a letter to Li You, asking him to bring craftsmen to make siege equipment, and while splitting his troops to attack the surrounding counties and counties.
