Chapter 569 The End of Heroes 4
"Puff..."
With the repeated setbacks and continuous hard work for the past few days, Jiaer Qinling was already exhausted, and then was hit by the rapid loss of Fu Niuchuan. Under the internal fire attack, his body could not stand it completely. He only felt that his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood could not be spewed out, and his burly body shook. He almost fell to the ground.
"Big phase, big phase, you..."
As soon as he saw that gar Qinling vomited blood, he was anxious when he came to report the matter. He couldn't care much. He got up, grabbed the shaky body of gar Qinling, and called anxiously.
"It's okay. It's okay. Go. It's said that the generals will come here immediately. Go!"
Gar Qinling first waved his hand and stopped the call of the horse. Then he wiped the corners of his bleeding mouth with the back of his hand, shook his head hard, gasped a few breaths, barely calmed his mind, and some of them were weak.
"Ah..., Nuo!"
The horse looked at the garqinling worriedly and was about to persuade him again, but he saw that the frown of the garqinling frown unhappily and did not dare to say more. He could only rush to answer the promise and not mention it.
"Alas..."
After the horse went, gar Qinling did not sit down again, but stood dullly for a long time. Finally, he shook his head bitterly, let out a long sigh, and strode forward to the hall. Although his footsteps were still calm, his back was bleak...
Fuyan City, the former capital of Tuyuhun, was located. In the third year of Longshuo (A.D. 663), Tubo destroyed Tuyuhun, and still used this city as the military and political center that ruled Quan Tuyuhun. The city is divided into internal and external parts. The outer city is about five feet high, and the four sides are more than three miles long. The whole city is square, which is a typical Han Dynasty city Guojian, and there is a river in the north. It is said that Caiji passes around the north, and the other three sides are full of endless grasslands, spanging more than a hundred miles until they are blocked by the mountains. The terrain is flat, which is conducive to pastoralism, but there is no danger to guard.
Militaryly speaking, stationing troops in Fuyi City is a way to die. It is not the way to fight, but it comes back. As far as the land of Tuyuhun is concerned, it is difficult to find not only to resist the enemy, but also to have enough food and the way to come from. Especially at the time of continuous defeats, if you want to find it in a hurry. Is it a more suitable place than Fuyu City, but it is also unlikely. After all, as the military and political center of Tuyuhun, Fuyu City, is already the best place of resistance that the Tubo army can find in terms of city defense or the heavy reserves of grain. Of course, this best is just relative. Yu Tubo people may be like This, but in Li Xian's view, it's really not worth mentioning. Although it's difficult to break the city, it's not big. Therefore, after capturing Funiuchuan, Li Xian did not advance lightly, but pushed forward slowly. When he arrived at the city, he was not in a hurry to launch a battle against the city, but set up a large camp three miles away from the city. However, it is a steady and steady posture.
"Woo, woo, woo, woo..."
The Tang army did not take the initiative to attack, and the Tubo army did not dare to act rashly. The night passed calmly. When the first ray of sunshine in the morning cut through the darkness before dawn, a tight horn suddenly sounded in the Tang army camp, and the originally quiet camp suddenly boiled up. For a few minutes, a team of officers and soldiers slowly walked out of the camp in a neat queue and pushed towards Fuchengping.
"Tang Thief is coming, Tang Thief is coming!"
The momentum of the Tang army's big move can be said to be extremely huge. It is impossible for the sentries at the top of the city to be unable to see it. With the roar of the alarm, the Tubo army all over the city panicked. A team rushed to the head of the city one after another, raised their knives and guns together, and looked at the approaching Tang strong army, a The tension of the coming war is suffocating.
"Sanlang, take your people up and open the gate for me!"
The army marched around, and soon after a while, the formation was set up at a distance of 400 steps under the city. Li Xian didn't talk much and issued an attack order directly.
"No!"
Xiao Sanlang had already known the overall battle plan from the pre-war military meeting. At this time, as soon as he heard that Li Xian was the first to call his name, he would not feel very surprised. He hurried to answer the promise and rushed back to this array. After an order, the first brigade, which was already ready, began to move forward. .
"Order, the troops are on standby, and they are not allowed to approach the city wall without authorization!"
As soon as he saw that the Tang army was indeed the first brigade to attack, the face of Jiaer Qinling couldn't help twitching slightly, but it was not messy at all. He just shouted with a gloomy face. In addition, there was no other words.
"Fire!"
The top of the city was quiet. Not only had archery attacks, but even the dozens of large crossbows on the head of the city remained silent. Thousands of defenders quietly watched the artillery battalion of the first brigade busy at a hundred steps away from the city. However, Su Qingsheng obviously did not intend to lead the situation of the Tubo army. As soon as the artillery was set up, he immediately ran to Xiao Sanlang and asked for instructions. After getting permission, he issued an attack order rudely.
"Boom, boom..."
With the order, a group of gunners who had been on standby for a long time did not dare to delay a little. They lit the fuses with fire ropes one after another. However, in the huge roar, the smoke rolled up, 18 infantry guns were fired first, and eighteen shells weighing more than ten catties roared and hit the top of the city, but the artillery The expected results did not appear - except for two shells that hit the wall, three flew over the head and landed in the open space in the city, the other 13 shells were all in the middle of the city, but except for three jumping and rolling to death and injuring several unlucky Tubo defenders, the rest of the shells actually went into the sea like mud cows, very waves. The flowers have never splashed.
"Boom, boom!"
The infantry gun was just finished firing, and the heavy artillery also opened fire. Two huge shells roared and drew a smooth curve in the air. One was in the middle of the city gate, and the other hit the wall not far from the door, but the results were not satisfactory. It was enough to hit the wall, only one exploded on the wall. It was not a small hole, but the one that hit the gate hit the gate, but it did not see the debris flying in the air. Instead, it made a muffled loud noise, and then it was silent.
"What the he said, I still don't believe it. Come again!"
Su Qingsheng has been an unwavering cannonist since he first saw the artillery. In his opinion, there is no target that the artillery can't break. At this time, there was not much response when he saw a round of volley, and the fire in his heart burst up. He stroked his sleeves angrily and roared angrily.
Huh? Something is wrong! Not only Su Qingsheng was puzzled by the results of the volley shooting, but also Li Xian, who was watching the battle in this array, was also suspicious. He raised his eyebrows, casually pulled out the monoculars hanging from his waist, glanced at the head of the city and observed it carefully. At this, he really saw some strange things - looking at the hole in the gate. In the past, the back was suddenly filled with sandbags, which effectively slowed down the impact of the shell. By carefully observing the sporadic debris splashed with the second shelling, it can also be seen that the top of the city was covered with dry and wet wool, cowhide and other buffers, which also effectively slowed the impact of the shell.
Sure enough, he is worthy of being the god of the Tubo army. He can find the right way to deal with it in such a short time. It's really famous. Unfortunately, it's not the right time to be born! Thinking of the ability of gar Qinling, even as an enemy, Li Xian couldn't help praising him very much in his heart. However, Li Xian did not intend to let him live. After finding out the truth, Li Xian no longer hesitated and hung the monocular back to his waist, and the back of the color was clear. In a cold voice, he ordered, "Order: the artillery battalion advances 30 steps, the infantry artillery focuses on the enemy's crossbow, the heavy artillery is not allowed to stop, bombard the city gate with all its strength, and all the departments of the first brigade are responsible for covering!"
"First Brigade, move forward!"
With no great results in two rounds of attacks, Xiao Sanlang inevitably chattered in his heart. When he was thinking about countermeasures, he got the general order sent by the messengers. He did not dare to neglect a little. As soon as he raised his hand and shouted, he issued an order. Even if he heard the sound of the drums, the whole army of the first brigade began to move forward.
"Singing: Guarding the crossbow attack!"
The first brigade just pressed forward, and the garqinling immediately issued the order to attack without hesitation.
"Bang, bang..."
The well-prepared crossbowmen did not dare to delay a little. They tried their best to pull the thick rope tied to the trigger of the crossbow guarding the city, but listening to the sound of a tight spring, more than a dozen huge steel arrows roared and hit the officers and soldiers of the first brigade on the way. Although most of the accuracy was too poor, but Three crossbows still hit the marching procession of the second regiment. The screams broke out, and the flesh and blood flew across. On the spot, more than a dozen officers and soldiers were torn to pieces, and another a dozen people were seriously injured and fell to the ground.
"The regiments opened fire freely to suppress the firepower of the city!"
As soon as he saw that the crossbow guarding the city had been launched, Xiao Sanlang's face immediately became gloomy, and his face roared.
"Oh, no..."
The death and injury of the comrades-in-arms had already made all the officers and soldiers red-eyed, but they did not dare to move without any general order. At this time, Xiao Sanlang had issued an order, and the officers and soldiers of the regiments would not be very polite. They advanced forward one after another and opened fire. In an instant, the dense rain burst into the busy vomiting around the dozen crossbows of the city. The Ben soldiers shot down a large area, but this Tubo army was obviously a dead soldier. Despite the heavy casualties, they always refused to stop the loading work. As soon as he fell, someone rushed out from the side and rushed forward and then he was busy. He braved the strong firepower of the first brigade to fill the crossbow, and showed no weakness with the first brigade exhibition. After a pair shot, for a while, you came and went to the city and went in full swing...
