Chapter 567 The End of the Hero 2
On September 11 of the first year of Yifeng, just after the Double Ninth Festival, the sky was already cold. Although it was not a place where the air turned into ice, the frost had fallen. The north wind blew, which added a bit of bleak coldness. The patrol on the wall of Funiuchuanguan was better. It could exercise more or less to get some warmth, but it could be on all sides. The fixed whistles on the ventilated arrow tower are not so convenient. They are frozen by the cold and their faces are purple. They can only keep stomping their feet to keep warm, but they really can't play a big role. They are all angry and curse their stingy bosses. It's time to wait for the season, and they still don't wear winter clothes. This is not cheating or something.
"... straight mother thief, I'm so cold this day, and I don't send a leather jacket. This broken armor can be a nothing. Those damn dog thieves are... Ah, Tang, Tang, Tang..."
A Tubo soldier standing on the high arrow tower was so frozen by the cold wind that he couldn't stand it. He stamped his feet and scolded. Suddenly, the lingering light in the corners of his eyes seemed to be a situation on the distant horizon. He hurriedly fixed his eyes. His face turned white in an instant, his eyes were round and stammered. I can't say a complete sentence.
"Cangba, you grandson, what a son... Ah, Tang, Tang Jun, damn it, the Tang thief is coming, the Tang thief is coming..."
Seeing that his colleague's face was extremely strange, another soldier on duty couldn't help scolding and looked along his eyes curiously. At a glance, his face was also extremely pale in an instant. After stamming twice, he finally came to his senses and couldn't care much. He pulled his voice and shouted wildly. In an instant, Yuan The closed wall, which was still in good order, has been completely messed up.
"...Men should be in serious danger, how can they let Confucian crown miss this life..."
Tang Jun did come, but the speed of the march was not fast. He sang all the way, and the passionate singing was strong and high. The sound waves shook the sky, and a spirit of my invincible spirit rose up and rushed straight out of the sky!
Under the consecutive victories, the morale of a group of the generals and soldiers was high. Li Xian, who was in front of the army, was also in a good mood. It was not entirely because of the victory one victory after another, but more that the tacit cooperation of the gar Qinling made him very satisfied - the gar Qinling shrunk its troops in an all-round way and tried to fight a defense of Fuyi City. Li Xian was happy to see the success. He not only did not stop the gathering of various Tubo troops, but also opened the door of convenience for him. He strangled the troops at the mouth of the Buha River and let the defeated Tubo troops everywhere flee to Fucheng. Did he have an idea? It goes without saying that he wanted to defeat all the Tubo troops in Tuyuhun. This reason is very simple, instead of being in the vastness. Playing the game of cat and mouse with the Tubo army on the prai, it is not as good as to catch turtles in the urn. As for the idea of gar Qinling, Li Xian has already known it. The left and right are just the plot of the hero's last road, but there is nothing to say.
"The whole army stops and arrays on the spot!"
Although the army was not very fast, it was not slow. However, in more than half an hour, it had reached the foot of Funiuchuan Guancheng. Li Xian raised his hand and strangled the soldiers and horses at a distance of 400 steps from the city. After a sad horn, more than 50,000 people of the whole army attacked under the city.
The wall of Funiuchuan was not high, only three feet high. In the past ten days, although the Tubo army has tried its best to strengthen the city, not only raised the wall to more than five feet, but also set up defense facilities such as watchtowers and arrow towers, and even installed several. There are not many crossbows guarding the city, but unfortunately, the city defense is still pitifully simple. Not to mention that the Tang army disdains it, even thegar Qinling himself is not optimistic about it. In addition to arranging Sorenzan, a million captain, to guard it with more than a thousand Tubo people, the other nearly 4,000 people are all collected miscellaneous soldiers of Tuyuhun and fight. The idea is not to stick to death, but to use the geographical advantage of closing the wall to consume the living power of the Tang army as much as possible. As for the life and death of those tribal soldiers, Gar Qinling doesn't care about it at all.
"Five up, prepare for war, prepare for war!"
Sorenzan obviously understood what Gar Qinling had not said. At this time, when he arranged the matter of guarding the city, he did not send all the more than 1,000 guards to Guancheng, but basically placed them after Guancheng for the reserve team. As for the head of the city, all the arrangements were miscellaneous soldiers of all ethnic groups, although the number of them was large. There are a thousand people, but the combat effectiveness is not very high. At this time, in the face of the strong army of the Tang Dynasty, which is under the pressure of the army, they are all trembling and their legs are weak. As soon as this situation of timidity before the battle comes out, Sauron praise is immediately in his eyes. He is anxious in his heart. In addition to being angry, he is also helpless. He can only force himself to tighten himself. With his face, he raised his voice and roared for the miscellaneous soldiers.
"Sir Xiao, give you half an hour to open the gate!"
Li Xian only glanced at the city defense, and he almost saw the truth. He didn't want to waste more energy here and was too lazy to talk nonsense. He just waved indifferently and issued an order to attack.
"No!"
Xiao Sanlang was taciturn. For Li Xian's general, he just responded to Li Xian's generals and didn't say much nonsense, but he was not slow to act at all. As soon as he returned to the headquarters, he ordered the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade to move forward, escorting the artillery battalion in the direction of Guancheng. In the past.
"Fighten the cannon, hurry up, move faster!"
The war was approaching. Su Qingsheng, the commander of the artillery battalion, was so excited that his black face turned red. It was not surprising that his men had the strongest troops in the first brigade, but they could not catch up with the previous battles. Seeing that the war was coming to an end, his artillery battalion was still empty-handed and had no gains. It has become the laughingstock of the whole brigade. How can Su Qingsheng, who has always been arrogant, feel embarrassed? He has been full of energy to perform well. This time, it is finally the time when it is his turn of his artillery battalion to show his power. Su Qingsheng can't help but be overexcited. Only then did he get close to the predetermined position a hundred steps away from the city, and even wait for the brigade commander. At that end, he shouted and shouted, commanding a group of men to unload the cannon from the carriage and assemble it on the spot.
There are not many types of artillery in the artillery battalion. There are only two types. One is a light infantry gun, with a total of 18 guns, and the other is a heavy gun for siege. There are only two guns in total. The number is not large, but the bulkiness is amazing. Among other things, even the light infantry guns are actually not very light. Even if the gun rack is not counted, the gun body cast by raw iron weighs hundreds of catties. As for the heavy gun, it is even more amazing. The whole gun weighs more than 2,000 catties, and each shell weighs more than 30 catties. The reason why it is so big is not for the prestige, but that the quality of iron water can never be raised, and The quality of fine steel can't pass, and the power of black gunpowder is not too great. Various factors are accumulated together. In order to ensure the power, the weight of the gun cannot be reduced.
"Spearing: Guarding the crossbow attack!"
Although the defenders at the top of the city had heard that the musket of the first brigade was extremely sharp, after all, they had never experienced it in person, but they were not very afraid. When they saw that the Tang army did not launch a battle against the city, they stopped at a distance of about a hundred steps from the city, they couldn't help but mumbled that they didn't understand how busy the Tang army was there. Even, even Sorenzan, who had been defeated by the first brigade, couldn't figure out what those dark big guys were, but he knew that Tang Jun could not be able to successfully assemble those black guys. He hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and shouted.
"Bang, bang..."
Since the general had issued the order, a group of defenders did not dare to neglect it. The only four crossbows on the head of the city were fired one after another. The four huge iron arrows roared through the space and shot at the place where the first brigade was. The force was not small and the momentum was also great. Unfortunately, the accuracy was extremely poor. All four huge arrows were shot. In the empty space, except for shoveling a large area of soil on the dry grass, even the edge of the first brigade has not been touched at all.
"The first regiment, approach the attack and suppress the firepower of the city!"
The crossbow attack of the Tubo army failed to achieve any results, but it succeeded in arousing Xiao Sanlang's anger, so he planned to order an appetizer for the defenders at the head of the city.
"No!"
Wan Chenghe, the head of the first regiment, has been rubbing his hands for a long time. This order has been ordered. There is no reason not to be very excited. He hurriedly answered, waved his hand, shouted and ordered, "The first regiment, move forward!"
"Dong, Dong Dong..."
With Wan Chenghe's order, the drummers on both sides of each company did not dare to neglect at all. They sounded the small drums hanging in front of their chests one after another. In the sound of the drums, the officers and soldiers of the first regiment divided into three squares began to move forward.
"bow and crossbow, get ready!"
Sorenzan had suffered from the pain of musket shooting. When the first regiment began to press forward, he panicked involuntarily and roared the order. A group of miscellaneous soldiers did not dare to disobey. They poked their heads from the back of the city plate and aimed the strong bow and hard crossbow in their hands at the officers and soldiers of the first regiment that were slowly pressing forward. .
"Stop moving forward, shoot freely in each company, and focus on fighting the enemy crossbow!"
The defenders at the head of the city were well prepared, but unfortunately, Wan Chenghe did not plan to give the defenders a chance to perform. The whole regiment only took 20 steps forward and stopped. This position was just outside the attack range of the archers at the head of the city. Even if some soldiers with high shooting skills can shoot arrows here, they are already strong crossbows. In the end, it is impossible to pose much threat to the officers and soldiers of the First Regiment. As for the four crossbows that can attack the First Regiment, they are loading, and they can't fire arrows again for a while.
"Oh, no..."
With the order of Wan Chenghe, the shooting performance of the first regiment began immediately, but the three rows of soldiers in all sides shot and loaded in turn, and the sound of the gunfire burst like fried beans in an instant...
