The army of Losi retreated like a tide, leaving only corpses all over the ground and countless broken limbs and arms.
The broken siege carts were still burning with raging flames, scoring the bodies that were poured into something.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty guarding the city walls also breathed a sigh of relief.
If it weren't for the attack of the sky-bombing cannon just now, Tubo soldiers would have probably already attacked the city tower.
If the Tubo soldiers really attacked the city tower, they would really have no chance of winning.
There were more Tubo soldiers than them and their morale was strong. Once they attacked the city tower, they would be even more crazy.
Fortunately, the Sky Cannon played an unprecedented role and easily blocked the first wave of attacks from Luoxi's army.
"I really didn't expect that the sky-bombing cannon that His Highness the King of Han built will still save our lives."
"Yes, I've seen Tubo soldiers rushing to the city tower just now. If we slow down a little, or if there is no sky-bombing cannon, they have already climbed up now."
"If we really climb up, we might be really dead!"
"His Royal Highness of Han is still amazing, but a pity..."
"well!"
The whispers of the Tang Dynasty soldiers reached Li Jing and Niu Jinda's ears.
The two of them didn't say a word, just silently looked at the gradually retreating Tubo soldiers.
I thought to myself that if Zhao Chen was here, even if he had no strategy to retreat to the enemy, he could come up with more defensive methods.
Unlike them now, they can only rely on the few remaining sky-bombing cannons to suppress the enemy.
"Duke Wei, how many times can we hold on to the sky-bombing cannon now?" Niu Jinda asked Li Jing, with an expectation in his eyes.
If the sky cannon bombing was enough, no matter how many times Luoxi's army attacked, Niu Jinda believed that the enemy would not be able to attack the city tower.
Niu Jinda hopes that the Sky Cannon cannon cannon cannon cannon cannon a few more times!
But Li Jing slowly shook his head and let Niu Jinda understand that he was just wishful thinking.
The Sky Cannon is so powerful that it is something strictly controlled by the Tang Dynasty. How many can Li Jing bring out even if he goes to war?
I am afraid……
"The sky-bombing cannons brought by my 50,000 army have all used up the steel!"
"If the Luoxi army comes again, we can only rely on ourselves!" Li Jing's words made Niu Jinda's heart fall to the bottom in an instant.
He originally thought there were not many sky-bombing cannons, but he never expected that the ones just now were the last little.
And they just repelled the first wave of attacks from the Luoxi army, and now the sky cannon is gone, so this city is probably difficult to defend.
Niu Jinda showed disappointment and looked into the distance outside the city, hoping that Zhao Chen would appear in front of him again.
But after all, it's just his hope.
So many days have passed, and there is no news about Zhao Chen, so something really happened.
"Send the order to continue. Be sure to let someone guard against the enemy for twelve hours to prevent the Luoxi army from taking the opportunity to attack." Niu Jinda sighed and made a suggestion with Li Jing without any help.
Li Jing didn't say anything, but nodded helplessly.
The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty did not know this, and thought that if the Luoxi army dared to attack the city tomorrow, they would definitely let him taste the power of the sky-bombing cannon.
...
Losi's army retreated and returned to his camp.
"Such as a grandmaster, our army lost 3,129 people, twenty ladders, and ten siege vehicles."
Listening to the report of his soldiers, Losi frowned tightly.
This was just the first siege battle. In less than an hour, his army actually lost more than 3,000 people.
If this happens a few more times, the morale of the army in his hands will definitely be disintegrated.
"The sky-booming cannon in the Tang Dynasty is really hateful. If the sky-booming cannon army had already attacked the city tower of Gaochangdu City, maybe even Li Shimin's head would have been taken down!" Luo Xi slapped the table with a strong anger on his face.
Just now, he had clearly seen that many of his soldiers were about to rush up to the city tower of Gaochangdu City. In just a short while, they could kill the city.
As long as the city is broken, it will be difficult for the Tang Dynasty soldiers to have the courage to fight with them. At that time, it may be a one-sided massacre.
But now, the city tower has not been captured, but I have lost more than 3,000 people. If Songzan cadres knew about this, they would definitely say that they were not in good command, and they might think about finding someone to replace me.
"Immediately send orders to the army to build the catapult cart as soon as possible. In three days, I will only give them three days to build a hundred catapult carts."
"Apart from the soldiers defending the camp, everyone went to look for stones. In three days, I will smash the entire Gaochangdu city tower directly!" Luo Xi said to his general with a sharp voice.
He did not allow him to carry a small city wall to block the way at such a time.
Taking down the city tower of Gaochang City and holding Li Shimin is still his goal.
"Yes, great minister!" The general took the order and left.
For several days, the Tubo army did not attack again. The scout heard that Luo Xi commanded the army to build a catapult, and many soldiers were still transporting huge stones.
Everyone can understand Luo Xi’s purpose is to use a trencher to directly pull out the tower of Gaochangdu City and smash it!
Li Jing and Niu Jinda both showed worried expressions on their faces.
They cannot send troops out of the city to attack Tubo's camps now, because they may be ambushed by the other party.
But if he did nothing and watched Luoxi army build a catapult. After the catapult was completed, Gaochang Capital could no longer be defended.
The most urgent task now is to find ways to destroy the trenchers that have been made and can be made.
But this is really too difficult.
How could they lead people to sneak into the Luoxi army's stone-treating machine production site, where there must be a large number of soldiers guarding it.
"Duke Wei, I'll take people there!"
"You are here to command!" After a long silence, Niu Jinda made a decision to lead his troops to burn the catapult made by Luo Xi's army.
Li Jing shook his head and went to burn the catapult of Luoxi's army, without any difference between committing suicide.
Niu Jinda is a veteran like himself, and he goes to do something like this and knows what Li Jing doesn't want to see.
"Duke Wei, the situation is critical now. If we don't burn the catapult of Luoxi army again, not only my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, but also His Majesty the Emperor will be in danger!"
"I, Niu Jinda, have long been a useless person. I survived by chance because of Zhao Chen's persuasion. Now Zhao Chen is no longer there, and my only thoughts are gone. This makes me do this last thing, for the country of the Tang Dynasty!" Niu Jinda looked at Li Jing with a sincere tone.
"But……"
