Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2418 Abandoned City
Gancheng.

The Tubo soldiers and horses have been attacking the city frantically for five days.

The casualties in Tubo can be said to be very heavy, but the situation on the side of the Tang army is not good. They have killed so far, and only a thousand soldiers and horses are left.

It can be said that it is very difficult for these thousand soldiers and horses to stop the Tubo soldiers and horses outside the city.

They may not be able to hold back even a day.

"My lord, our number is getting smaller and smaller, and there are more than 4 soldiers in Tubo outside the city, and their entry into the palace is also crazy. If we continue to defend, we are afraid that we will live and die with the city."

Coexistence and death is an epic thing for any general, but who wants to die?

Everyone looked at Xu Jian, wondering what to do next.

Xu Jian thought for a moment, and said: "The people have all migrated out, and now Gancheng is an empty city. We held on to it, firstly, because it was our duty, and secondly, it was to buy time for those people to migrate. Now that those people The people have gone away, we don't have to defend here, this is an empty city, it doesn't mean much, the most important thing is to preserve our strength."

After finishing speaking, Xu Jian looked at the crowd and said, "Tonight, we will abandon the city and leave, and I will bear the responsibility for the crime."

Hearing this, all the officers and men of the Tang army trembled. Abandoning the city is a serious crime, but in this situation, it really doesn't make sense for them to continue to hold on.

After looking at each other, everyone nodded in agreement.

As night fell, the sky was cold and the wind was blowing.

Gancheng was peaceful.

At this time, Xu Jian left the city with only one thousand soldiers left.

They have few soldiers and horses, so the speed is naturally very fast.

The night passed like that.

In the early morning of the next day, the Tubo soldiers and horses braved the cold wind and came to the city of Gancheng.

What makes them strange is that there is no Tang army guarding the city on the upper floor of Gancheng City today.

Seeing this situation, everyone was very surprised.

"What's going on, why is there no one guarding the city?"

"General, there shouldn't be any traps in Gancheng, right?"

"General, what shall we do?"

Everyone was very worried, Che Gu thought for a moment, and then ordered: "Siege the city."

Regardless of whether there are traps in the city or not, they have reached this point, and there is no other way except to attack the city.

After Che Gu's order was issued, Tubo's soldiers and horses began to attack the city, but this time, no matter whether they were crossing the moat or what, they were not blocked at all.

The siege went smoothly, but their hearts became more and more uneasy.

When climbing the wall, they were also very cautious.

However, they still haven't encountered any obstacles.

Soon, some soldiers attacked the tower.

They were still not stopped.

As more and more Tubo soldiers climbed to the tower, they gradually understood what was going on.

"Tang Jun...Tang Jun abandoned the city."

When they realized that the Tang army had abandoned the city, they were very excited. Although they were sure to capture the city gate today, they did not need to continue to fight and easily obtained a city in the Tang Dynasty. It was still very exciting for them .

The gate of the city was opened from the inside, and Che Gu entered Gancheng with his soldiers and horses.

They did not see any sign of Tang Jun.

"It seems that the Tang army really abandoned the city. However, we can't let the people here abandon the city. Come, let me slaughter the city and plunder it."

They sacrificed nearly [-] people before they finally captured Gancheng. They were very angry with Datang, they wanted revenge, and they wanted to massacre the city.

After Che Gu's order was issued, a group of Tubo soldiers rushed out like crazy, they were all holding their breath, they wanted to kill, they wanted to plunder, and they wanted to do something with women.

However, when they rushed over, they didn't find anyone, not even any property.

All they saw was an empty city.

Che Gu was waiting for his soldiers to bring back the victorious items, but after waiting for a long time, his soldiers did not bring back much.

"What's going on, what about the property you looted, and the woman you brought back?"

They don't want men as slaves now, they just want women.

It's just that after he asked this question, those soldiers shook their heads helplessly: "General, this is an empty city. The people here have already left. There is nothing here, nothing here."

After hearing the news, Che Gu was a little confused.

Nothing at all?

Dare they sacrifice so many soldiers and horses, but what they got in the end is just an empty city?
The substance they want is simply not available?

Angry, angry, unwilling, unwilling.

"Damn, hate, really hateful, the Tang people are cunning, too cunning."

He was really angry. He spent so much effort but got nothing. Can he not be angry?

Some other Tubo soldiers were also very angry.

"General, Tang people are hateful. When I meet them, I will definitely tear them to pieces."

"General, I'm going to kill them, kill them..."

"General, what should we do next? We didn't get anything. Should we just leave like this?"

"Can't leave, we want revenge, we want revenge..."

Their anger had already made them lose their minds. After thinking about it, Che Gu said: "This Xu Jian is cunning, but there is more than one Gancheng in the Tang Dynasty. Not far away, there is a border town called Longcheng. Let's attack Longcheng." Gancheng, this Dragon City is a little smaller than Gancheng. Before we thought that there was nothing to plunder in Dragon City, so we attacked Gancheng, but now, we are going to attack Longcheng. After taking Dragon City, you You can plunder and slaughter at will in the city, let the soldiers gather quickly and march towards Dragon City."

After Che Gu gave such orders, a group of Tubo soldiers rushed towards Longcheng without any hesitation.

Longcheng is about two days away from Gancheng, which is still very close to them.

Because of their anger, they basically didn't stop during their trip.

However, on the way to Longcheng, Chegu also sent someone to report the situation here to Zamp Songtsen Gampo of Tubo.

Although they captured the city, they did not get the material they wanted. This situation should be reported, and then they asked Songtsan Gampo for any new instructions.

And when Che Gu rushed to Longcheng with Tubo soldiers, Xu Jian led a thousand soldiers to make a long-distance attack, and finally met General Zhang Erhei sent from Songzhou City.

However, when Zhang Erhei saw Xu Jian, his eyes widened suddenly, as if he wanted to kill someone.
