The powerful firearm definitely shocked Zhang Qianxu, especially at night. This mysterious weapon made a loud noise and then killed people. No one could escape from it. It was so fast and so lethal.
It was so loud that it was simply unheard of, and what was even more disturbing was that under the loud noise, the war horses were frightened and ran around, causing his formation to quickly collapse.
After all, Zhang Qianxu was not as lucky as Cheng Wuting. Cheng Wuting was appointed by the emperor to save his life, but Zhang Qianxu did not have such qualifications. He was killed by the soldiers under the commanding general Chen Ziang during the rebellion.
The commander, Chen Shen, was shot and killed, his head shot directly, and he fell down without even saying a word.
Seeing the death of their general, Zhang Qianxu's soldiers were deeply frightened by the powerful firearms, so they all laid down their weapons and surrendered. So the army quickly disintegrated.
Although Chen Ziang led an army for the first time, he also showed good leadership skills. After he recruited and surrendered the soldiers under Zhang Qianxu, he immediately ordered them to take up their weapons and enter the palace with the army.
This was not only forced by the situation, but also due to Chen Ziang's personality charm, because Chen Ziang showed full trust in them, especially the necessary respect, and promised them that as long as they could follow him,
King Gong Qin not only did not investigate the past crimes, but also repaid them for their merits. These words immediately made the soldiers who surrendered wholeheartedly serve him.
So nearly 20,000 troops marched to the palace aggressively and headed to Empress Wu's palace according to the established plan.
At this time, Gal Gongren, who was guarding the gate of Empress Wu's palace, had realized that there might have been changes in the palace due to the shouts of killing coming from the distance, so on the one hand, he went to ask Empress Wu for instructions, and on the other hand, he also ordered his soldiers to secretly
At the same time, he also notified General Li Duozuo, the gatekeeper of the left prison who was stationed with him at another palace gate.
Less than half an hour later, two armies rushed in from two directions. The two armies quickly merged together and then arrived outside the palace gate where Gar Gongren was stationed.
At this time, Gal Gongren had already formed a formation outside the door and said coldly to the visitor: "If you come, stop here. Don't you know that this is the residence of the Queen Mother?"
But I saw the person in front said: "Gaer Gongren, you'd better get out of the way. Tonight Cheng Wuting, Zhang Qianxu and others are rebelling with troops. We are ordered by your majesty to enter the palace to protect the Queen Mother. Ergar Gongren is a Tibetan, not a native of Tubo."
Your Majesty can't trust you, my kind."
Gar Gongren laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "How dare you, the rebellious ministers and traitors, speak rudely and spit blood here, how shameless are you? Cheng Wuting and Zhang Qianxu, two generals, entered the palace under the orders of the Queen Mother, but they were
You slander me as a rebel, how can you be so shameless in the world? Stop talking nonsense, if you want to enter the palace today, you will have to step over my corpse."
"In this case, we don't have to be polite, just kill him!" The first general was naturally Wang Fangyi, the general who entered the palace on Li Xian's order.
But Gal Gongren chuckled and said: "You, Wang Fangyi, are just a small Xiazhou army, but you mobilized 20,000 troops, and these 20,000 troops are not regular troops of the imperial court. Is this a rebellion? Now you finally endured it.
You can't help but show your fox's tail, but no matter how many troops you have, you will definitely not easily enter the palace today. My sons, it's time to teach these rebellious officials and traitors a lesson."
Gar Gongren shouted loudly, and the more than 20,000 people under his command who had already formed a formation all shouted loudly and waved their weapons to kill Wang Fangyi's army.
Since the sergeants on duty are constantly rotating, it is naturally impossible for all the sergeants here to be there. Even if there are 20,000 people, it is because the situation has been tense these days that he deliberately arranged for so many people.
The 20,000 Tibetan soldiers under Gar Gongren were all elites from hundreds of battles. He believed that they would be able to stop the attack of Wang Fangyi's army, but he did not expect that this army would suffer heavy losses as soon as it came up.
There were endless banging and banging sounds, and before the Tibetan army could react, hundreds of people lost their lives. Even those who did not die immediately were all seriously injured and would be difficult to fight.
Gal Gongren was not a god, and he was also frightened in front of such a powerful weapon. However, he knew that if he wanted to avenge his father and restore Tubo, holding on to defeat Li Xian's rebellion was the only chance, so he
Gritting his teeth, he said loudly: "Block them all and don't retreat. Although the opponent's weapons are powerful, they are just like crossbows. Once fired, they need to be reloaded. As long as we successfully persist until the first wave of enemy attacks are over, we can
Winning a relatively safe time for ourselves, and this time is our opportunity to kill the enemy and make achievements!"
Gal Gongren was indeed a wise man, and he saw the problem after a little thought, but he obviously underestimated the combat effectiveness of Lieutenant General Wang Fangyi's army, because in the following battle, he found that what he had seen
That problem was not a problem, because the opponent's firepower was endless, and it was not until later that the opponent's clever tactics were discovered.
It turns out that the soldiers in the front row automatically retreated to the rear after firing, and then reloaded in the rear while the soldiers in the front row fired. This caused the soldiers in the front to finish shooting, and they had already reloaded.
First, as long as the special "crossbow arrows" don't stop, their shooting will not stop.
"What a brilliant strategy!" Gar Gongren couldn't help but gasped after learning all this, but he had no time to care about it now. Even if everyone died today, he would never give up this revenge.
The only hope for national restoration.
Gal Gongren thought that the Tang army could not have too much ammunition. After all, in his opinion, the cost of that kind of thing was not low. Besides, he felt that since the thing would explode, the iron objects held by the soldiers would not survive after many passes.
It may not be able to remain intact for a long time after the first explosion. In addition, it is night and the hit rate is definitely not high, so there is still hope to persist.
What's more, he also thought that since he had encountered the main force of the Tang army, Li Duozuo would definitely not be under too much pressure. As long as he persisted until Li Duozuo's reinforcements arrived, tonight's rebellion would be put down.
So he ordered all the soldiers in the army to defend it at all costs!
And the facts were indeed as he expected. The firepower of Wang Fangyi's army quickly became sparse. This was mainly because the level of steelmaking at that time was too low. The forged muskets could withstand three shots at most, and in this dark night, three shots were fired.
The rounds of shooting only caused at most 2,000 losses to the Tibetan soldiers, and these desperadoes were now roaring at Wang Fangyi's army, which could no longer use firearms, preparing to fight for their lives.
At this moment, Li Duozuo's reinforcements arrived in time, so Gal Gongren thought that he should be sure of victory this time. (To be continued.) This chapter has been completed!
