Chapter 570 The End of Heroes 5

"Three cannon linkage, target, guard the crossbow, release!"

Taking advantage of the fierce battle between the officers and soldiers of the first brigade and the defenders of the city, the officers and soldiers of the artillery battalion quickly pushed more than a dozen artillery pieces to the predetermined position 70 steps away from the city. After hurriedly adjusting, the artillery positions were ready for the shelling. Su Qingsheng did not dare to delay a little and hurried down. The order of attack has been reached.

"Boom, boom..."

The artillery, which had been silent for a moment, began to fire again. Unlike the first two diffuse shots, the firepower of the Tang army has been concentrated this time. It used three cannons to deal with a crossbow guarding the city. After several rounds of shelling, the crossbows on the head of the city had been damaged, and the few left were not enough for the Tang army. It became a great threat. Even so, the officers and soldiers of the first brigade did not relax their fire to attack the only remaining crossbow cars. The dense bullets were so heavy that the Tubo officers and soldiers could not even raise their heads, let alone hold the crossbows. At this time of the battle, the defenders were completely at a disadvantage. They could only be beaten, but could not fight back.

"Boom, boom!"

Seeing that the Tubo garrison was unable to fight back, the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade also stopped shooting quickly. Only two heavy guns were still shooting slowly, hitting a huge cannonball at the dilapidated city gate, almost jumping off the sandbags filled in it - although the sandbags can be effective. The ground slows down the impact of the shell, but after all, it is impossible to completely eliminate the power of heavy artillery against close shooting. In less than an hour, the city gate is already in a mess. The thick wooden door has long ceased to exist, and the outermost sandbags have also been smashed. However, the three-foot-wide city gate cave seems to be full of sandbags, which is the power of heavy artillery. Big, there is also a problem with the shooting angle. After only nibbling off half of the city gate hole, it can no longer push forward. At this time, the heavy artillery had to stop.

"Mingwu, let the prisoners move forward to remove the sandbags and tell them that as long as they can remove the sandbags in the gate cave, they will give them freedom and reward each person with a hundred sheep and a horse. Those who have made great achievements have another reward. If they are afraid of the former, they will kill on the spot!"

Li Xian had long expected that the heavy cannon could not completely remove the sandbags in the city gate cave. At this time, he saw that the heavy cannon had stopped burning, but he did not pay attention to it. He waved Zhang Mingwu to him and ordered indifferently.

"No!"

When the heavy artillery was still attacking the city, Li Xian had sent someone to bring more than 3,000 miscellaneous soldiers captured yesterday. Zhang Mingwu was not sure about this, but he did not dare to ask more. At this time, when he heard Li Xian's words, he suddenly realized that he did not dare to neglect a little. He hurriedly answered and ran to the prisoners. The location of the captive conveyed Li Xian's order loudly, which immediately caused an uproar among the prisoners. However, under the pressure of the Tang army's horizontal knife, they were all soon honest. Whether they were willing or not, they could only act according to the order of the Tang army.

"Cheng Bin, take your people, the cavalry is close to cover. The infantry is ready to break into the city at any time, but they are not allowed to go deep. Be careful of the enemy's ambush, just need to take down the wall!"

Li Xian didn't care about those prisoners. He waved his hand, called Lin Chengbin over and told him carefully.

"No!"

Li Xian's order was obviously more conservative, but Lin Chengbin had nothing to say. He simply responded to his promise and rushed back to the array for a moment. However, listening to the sound of the horns, Lin Chengbin's 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry began to move forward, but the speed was not fast, just following a large number of prisoners. After that, it didn't seem to rush to the city, but it was like escorting prisoners.

"It's not good! Come on, concentrate the wooden rolling stones at the gate tower, and move faster!"

Since the Tang army stopped shooting, a group of Tubo officers and soldiers slowly poked out their heads from behind the city plate. When they saw the Tang army escorting prisoners of war and coming to the city gate, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded. They didn't understand what the Tang army was singing. They were spontaneously in a daze, but they saw the sudden face of gar Qinling. As soon as the color changed, he exclaimed the general order.

"The cavalry attack!"

As soon as the order was ordered by Karr Qinling, the defenders at the top of the city immediately became confused. They ran around and carried the rolling stone logs that were originally scattered everywhere. Such chaos fell in Lin Chengbin's eyes and did not dare to take it lightly. They shouted and led the cavalry to pass the slowly moving prisoners of war. Lie rushed to the gate tower at high speed. At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the first brigade also began to shoot in turn to disrupt the actions of the Tubo army.

"Run, target the gate hole, if you dare to disobey, kill!"

Zhang Mingwu also found the moving action of the city's defenders. With a slight turn of his eyes, he had guessed the intention of the Tubo army. He did not dare to delay any more. He pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist, hit it heavily, and roared and issued an order. A group of guards rushed forward and beat the hesitant prisoners of war with horse whips. Countless, the prisoners of war who couldn't beat all rushed up wildly.

The cavalry of the Tang army quickly rushed to the bottom of the city, shot the head of the city like rain, and then with the volley of the officers and soldiers of the first brigade, the firepower was naturally amazing. However, when the Tubo army was transported, they all hid behind the city plate. The results they could achieve were actually very limited, and they could not completely stop the gathering of the Tubo army. The action of rolling stones.

"The whole army obeys the order: at all costs, seal the gate of the city, and live and die in this battle. Those who dare to retreat, kill! Those who can't move in, kill! Those who are slow, kill!"

The handling can be done with the help of the cover of the city disc, but throwing gravel and rolling stones under the city has to be explored. In this way, it is bound to become the target of the Tang army's fire. At this point, thegar Qinling has seen it very thoroughly. At this critical moment, he also has no time to cherish his hand. He pulled out a horizontal knife from his waist and hiss. He roared and gave the death order. Not only that, he also ordered the personal guards to go up to suppress the array, forcing the defenders at the head of the city to risk their lives to attack the prisoners of war who had rushed to the gate.

Facing the bright machetes in the hands of the guards, a group of defenders did not dare to resist. They could only form a few queues and throw gravel rolling stones in turn. In this way, the prisoners of war who rushed to carry sandbags at the gate were certainly unlucky. From time to time, some people were thrown at the head of the city. The rolling stone and even the body of the defenders were smashed, and the wailing sounded into a piece, but the defenders at the head of the city did not have a good result. Often a group of people threw out what was in their hands, and they were all shot into a sieve by the dense fire of the Tang army. The casualties were extremely heavy, but the later ones still did not dare to retreat. The war has become a battle of consumption so far. The difference is that the Tang army fought for the lives of the prisoners of war, while the Tubo army fought for their own lives. Obviously, the pressure fell completely on the side of the Tubo army.

The war continued tragically. After more than half an hour of fierce battle, most of the original 3,000 defenders on the head of the city had been killed and injured, and hundreds of prisoners of war who rushed sandbags under the city were also killed. The rest, under the supervision of the Tang army cavalry, did not dare to relax and kept hole the city gate. The sandbags and other debris in it are about to move out. Gradually, a ray of light has been revealed in the originally dark gate cave - the gate cave is about to be opened!

"Boom!"

Just as a group of prisoners of war cheered because the gate was about to be opened, they saw that the thin one- or two-story sandbag wall was suddenly knocked down from the city. In a loud noise, the sand and stone splashed, squeezed into the front of the prisoners of war, and they were crushed into minced meat on the spot.

"Kill, kill all these traitors!"

It didn't wait for a group of prisoners of war to come to their senses, but a roar suddenly sounded. Then countless Tubo troops with sharp blades had swarted into the gate hole. Under the wild knife, the prisoners of war cried and howled. Under the heavy casualties, the survivors turned their heads and rushed out of the gate hole regardless. The strange screams fled to the distance.

"Step by step attack!"

As soon as Lin Chengbin saw that the situation was wrong, he did not dare to take it lightly. He shouted and ordered his 3,000 troops to attack.

"Come with me and go into the city!"

After the general ordered, a general holding a strange knife roared and rushed to the city gate cave. In an instant, he collided with the Tubo army that protruded out from the gate hole. A fierce bloody battle began. The two sides did not give in, and almost all of them fought for their lives. Huo, with long guns, countless lives flowed like grass mustard, and the war turned into a state of glue for a while.

"Mo Dao Team, go!"

This is a fight that has no way out for both sides. Under the battle between blood and iron, the number of casualties on both sides has increased sharply. Near the city gate is already covered with fallen corpses, which have accumulated several layers thickly. The scene is really frightening. Seeing that the Tang generals who have been fighting for a long time and leading their troops to attack, they are in a hurry. He roared and threw the trump card in his hand into the flesh-and-blood battlefield without hesitation.

"Kad up! Enter! Cut, turn, horizontal..."

The power of the Modao team is naturally extremely powerful, but it is not easy to cultivate. Generally, the generals of the Tang Dynasty are reluctant to throw this strong army into the battlefield at once. It is often used at the most critical time. Obviously, for the Tang army rushing to the city, it is time when there is no concession. The strong army was thrown into the meat grinder-like battle, and the Modao team did not disappoint the commander of the Tang Dynasty. With the sound of the trumpet, the Modao team, which had been killed to the front line, danced like a wheel and cut all the Tubo officers and soldiers who dared to block the road into pieces, but in a moment, it was already He forcibly penetrated the gate of the city.

"Arrow, shoot an arrow!"

The Tubo commander Jie Ming Lusong, who was guarding the city gate, saw that the situation was wrong, and regardless of the many defeated soldiers on his own side in front of him, he roared and ordered more than a thousand archers who had already lined up in the city to attack.

"Woth, sw, sw..."

Since the main general had an order, a group of crossbowmen did not dare to delay and let go of the hand pulling the string one after another. However, listening to the sound of the bow and string, a dense rain of arrows like a locust splashed on the gate. In an in an all-sck, the two soldiers and soldiers who were fighting into a melee were all shot. Howling, the Tang army's knife team, which just rushed into the city, also suffered a huge loss. When they were rushed by the surging Tubo infantry, they couldn't stand up, and they were beaten back into the gate cave...
