Chapter 584 Break through the city

The letter is not long, and the format is the same. It is all in Chinese, and the signature at the bottom is exactly the same. It is stamped with the big seal of Li Xian, the king of the United Kingdom, and it is almost the same. That is to ask the second generals to gather troops in the west of the outer city when the city is broken. The Tang army promised not to attack the second generals, and it will be in the post-war book. The second general is the lord of a country, and the territory is under the jurisdiction of the second general. In addition, there is no other nonsense.

"Brother, look at this..."

Asugu Tsering and Chili Hezan are both nobles in the upper class of Tubo. They are both slightly knowledgeable in Chinese. It is not difficult to read the letter. However, after reading the letter, the second general's face was extremely wonderful, but he was not in a hurry to speak. After a long silence, Chili Hezan took the lead in breaking the silence and asked tentatively. If you say half of it, come on.

"Well..., stick to it first!"

The lord of a country is not an idle person who can get along with it. Even if Asugu Ciren is already a high-ranking person, it is difficult to resist such a fatal **. This is not surprising. In the face of great interests, it is difficult for immortals to keep calm, not to mention that the Tubo Dynasty was originally formed by the combination of nomadic tribes. The loyalty of the tribal leaders to the dynasty is actually not very high. If they can really be the head of a country, no one will not want to do it. It's just that on the first hand, this matter is too weird. On the other hand, A Sugu Ciren's sincerity to Li Xian is a little unreate. In addition, there are so many people who don't dare to express it easily. It can only be He answered vaguely.

"Well, let's talk about it first."

Chili Hezan and Asu Gu Ciren have been friends for many years. They are very familiar with each other. When they heard it, they knew the subtexts in A Su Gu Ciren's words. That is, if the Tang army can really break through the city and enter, then everything is good to say. As soon as the left and right cities are broken, in terms of the combat strength of the Tang army, all kinds of people are fighting hard, not It's just that the trapped beast is still fighting, and it's completely useless. At that time, it's better to hold the soldiers and be the master of the country. If the Tang army can't break the city, then don't mention everything. How to defend the city or how to defend it. In view of this, Chilihezan will not take the initiative to solve the mystery, which is a haha, and it's not much more. After saying this, he turned his head and turned his eyes to the Tang army, who was busy under the city, but his eyes became complicated, and his heart was trembling. He did not know whether he should expect the Tang army to break the city or pray that the Tang army could not break the city.

"Start!"

Tang Jun actually has nothing to prepare for. The reason why he stayed under the city for a while is not to rest, let alone to wait for the reply of Chili Hezan and A Sugu Tsiren, but to wait for the artillery battalion that fell behind to come in time - those letters are indeed from Li Xian's handwriting, and they do reflect the truth of Li Xian. The idea is that it is to dismember the Tubo Dynasty in the territory of Tubo and completely dismember the Tubo Dynasty. However, Li Xian is not naive enough to think that he can bring down the Tubo generals in one stroke with just these few letters. To put it bluntly, these letters are just psychological warfare. At this time, since the artillery battalion has been in place, Li Xianzi has not If there was any more delay, he waved his hand quietly and issued an attack order.

"The cavalry, come with me!"

As soon as Li Xian ordered, the horn of the Central Army sounded sadly. Tuoba Mountain, which had already been ready, did not dare to neglect it a little. He roared and rushed under the wall at high speed.

"First Brigade, move forward!"

As soon as he saw that the cavalry had gone out, Xiao Sanlang did not dare to delay any longer. He hurriedly issued a general order, but when he heard a sound of drums, the officers and soldiers of the first brigade lined up in three phalanxes also began to press on, and the artillery battalion was a little behind, rushing the heavy carriage to follow the back of the infantry.

"Turn left, shoot arrows, and suppress the crossbow!"

Just as the cavalry general rushed to a distance of 60 steps away from the city, with the order of Tuoba Shanye, the four thousand Tang army iron riders who went straight forward suddenly turned a corner and lined up in a row on the wall, shooting rows of steel arrows on the head of the city, and more than a dozen large crossbows placed at the head of the fire city.

"Target, defend the crossbow, shoot!"

The attack of the Tang army's iron cavalry had not stopped. It had already advanced to the first brigade array a hundred steps away from the city. Xiao Sanlang's broken shout sounded. Immediately, but the sound of tight gunfire suddenly sounded, and countless bullets roared across the city. In cooperation with the arrow rain of the Tang cavalry, it overwhelmed the defense of the head of the city. The army didn't even dare to lift its head easily. As for the dozen crossbows, no one dared to approach half a step, because all the Tubo brave who dared to act like this were shot into pieces of meat on the ground. When they came down three or twice, no one dared to lean near the crossbow.

"Bearby cannon, target: all crossbows guarding the city, fire!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the cavalry and the first brigade to launch a covering attack, the sharp artillery battalion officers and soldiers have set up 16 infantry guns. Only the heavy guns could not be installed because of their volume and weight, but Su Qingsheng couldn't wait. Before the two heavy guns were in place, he roared and ordered. In order to eliminate the only crossbow that can threaten the Tang army as soon as possible.

"Boom, boom..."

In the smoke of gunpowder, 16 artillery began to show its power. The huge shells roared at the head of the city. Several cannons gathered fire on a crossbow guarding the city, and one by one blew it down. The crossbow that was already installed on the head of the city was destroyed without exception. At this point, the defenders at the head of the city could no longer have any strength to threaten to stay away from the city. Seeing this, Tuoba Shanye, the Tang army of about a hundred steps in the district, did not waste any more arrows, but strangled the soldiers and horses and slowly retreated to the array of the first brigade.

"Brother, is this Tang Jun's firearm?"

As soon as the crossbow guarding the city was destroyed, the Tang army's infantry artillery did not pour fire on the head of the city. The loud noise on the battlefield for a long time finally stopped, but A Sugu Ciren, who was dizzy and swollen, still roared his ears. He cautiously poked his head out of the gate tower and saw the city full of debris and corpses. He couldn't help but turn pale, and his face asked Chili River on the side in disbelief.

"Well, brother, you don't know. Yesterday, on the shore of Namco Lake Namco, Denobu's cavalry was almost knocked down by Tang's weapons. Tut, I really don't know how the Tang army made such a sharp weapon. Fortunately, there are only a dozen doors. If there are more, I don't think I need to fight this battle."

Chili Hezan was not the first time to see the power of the cannon. Although he was palpitate, he was still able to stabilize his mind. At this time, he didn't think much when he heard Asugu's question. He just shook his head and answered with a wry smile.

"Are you okay? My brother laughed and put so many firearms under the city. This city defense..."

Asugu Ciren was originally a little confident in defending the city. After all, these cities are tall and strong. Although the rest of the parts of the city are exhausted, his nearly 30,000 soldiers are all elites. He can't deal with the Tang army without seeing it. However, after seeing the power of the Tang army's artillery and muskets with his own eyes, he is confident I can't help but waver.

"Boom, boom!"

Perhaps in order to echo the words of Asugu Tsiren, just as he said half of his words, he heard two huge roars suddenly sounded. Two heavy guns that had never opened fire since the beginning of the war began to show their power. Two huge shells crossed an almost straight curve in the air with a strong whistling sound. It hit heavily near the gate, and the huge impact not only bombarded two large pits on the wall made of large stones, but also made the whole city wall tremble.

"Daw, this, this is..."

When Asugu Ciren was sighing with emotion, he could not withstand this sudden shock. He was suddenly shocked and staddled. He sat on the ground and couldn't say a complete word in a daze.

"This firearm, this firearm..."

With the power of the heavy cannon, it was not only Asugu Tsiren who was dumbfounded, but also Chili Hezan, who had seen the power of firearms, was also shocked and muttered confusedly.

"Idiot, aim at me, and if I miss it again, I will go to the city as a cannonball!"

The defenders at the head of the city were scared by the power of heavy artillery, but Su Qingsheng, the chief officer of the artillery battalion, was quite dissatisfied. In his opinion, it was really a shame that he failed to hit the target with both shots. In anger, his words were not so good.

"Yes!"

The previous two were near missed bullets. In fact, it was not far from the city gate, which generally reflected the actual training level of the artillery battalion. After all, the accuracy of the artillery itself is difficult to guarantee, and it is not like a musket with a sight to assist shooting. It is already good to be like this, at least in the eyes of the gunners. However, the battalion commander was not satisfied, and everyone did not dare to protest much. They could only respectfully respond to the promise, and then they were busy with loading and adjusting.

"Boom, boom!"

After the kung fu of a cup of tea, the two heavy cannons that had been adjusted were fired again, but in the loud noise, two huge shells shrieked through the space. One missed and hit the stone wall next to the gate, smashed countless rubble, and the other hit the thick wooden door with great impact. Under the force, the seemingly thick wooden door was not much better than paper. In an instant, it was hit with a huge hole. Wood chips and debris flew around in the gate hole, knocking down a large number of Tibetan officers and soldiers who hid the door and blocked the door. The sound of wailing was shocking, and the blood was like a stream, which was extremely miserable.

"Well done, come again, come again!"

Seeing that the gate was broken, Su Qingsheng immediately became excited, rolled his sleeves and roared to order.

"Bangdang!"

There is no need to worry about the counterattack of the defenders at the head of the city. The Tang Army's artillery battalion can shoot repeatedly. If one shot doesn't work, it will be two cannons. If two cannons don't work, then two more cannons. With the continuous firing of the Tang army's heavy artillery, after four rounds, the already dilapidated gate finally couldn't hold up and staggered and fell inward. Go, hit heavily in the blood mud, and the most critical obstacle to the Tang army's progress is no longer there...
