Chapter five hundred and seventieth hero's end (five)
Update time:2012-12-24
"Three artillery linkage, target, city defense crossbow, fire!"
Taking advantage of the fierce battle between the officers and soldiers of the first brigade and the defenders at the top of the city, the officers and soldiers of the artillery battalion deftly pushed a dozen artillery pieces to the predetermined position seventy steps away from the city. After hurriedly adjusting, each
The artillery position had already made preparations for the bombardment. Su Qingsheng did not dare to delay for a moment and hurriedly issued the order to attack.
"Boom, boom..."
The artillery that had been silent for a while began to fire again. Different from the previous two diffuse attacks, this time the Tang army's firepower had been concentrated. Three artillery pieces were used to deal with a defensive crossbow, and they were named one by one. Several rounds of artillery fire were carried out.
When we came down, most of the defensive crossbows on the top of the city were destroyed, and the few remaining gates were no longer enough to defeat the Tang army.
It was a huge threat. Even so, the officers and soldiers of the first brigade did not relax their focus on attacking the remaining ballistae. The dense rain of bullets was so heavy that the Tibetan officers and soldiers could not even lift their heads, let alone operate the ballistae.
Well, by this point in the battle, the defenders were completely at a disadvantage. They could only be beaten but could not fight back.
"Boom, boom!"
Seeing that the Tibetan defenders were unable to fight back, the officers and soldiers of the first brigade stopped firing rapidly. Only the two heavy artillery pieces were still firing slowly, smashing the giant shells one after another.
Toward the dilapidated city gate, he jumped almost foot by foot to remove the sandbags filled in it. Although the sandbags could effectively slow down the impact of the cannonballs, they could not completely eliminate the power of the heavy artillery at close range.
In less than an hour, the city gate was in a mess. The thick wooden gate no longer existed, and the outermost sandbag had been smashed into pieces. However, the three-foot-wide city gate hole seemed to be filled with sandbags.
No matter how powerful the heavy artillery is, there is still a problem with the shooting angle. After only eating half of the city gate hole, it can no longer move forward. At this time, the heavy artillery has to stop.
"Mingwu, let the prisoners come forward and remove the sandbags, and tell them that as long as they can remove all the sandbags in the city gate, I will give them freedom, and reward each person with a hundred sheep and a horse. Those who have made great achievements will be rewarded.
There is a huge reward, but if you don't shrink back, I'll kill you on the spot!"
Li Xian had long expected that the heavy artillery would not be able to completely clear the sandbags in the city gate. When he saw that the heavy artillery had indeed stopped firing, he did not take it to heart. He called Zhang Mingwu to him with a wave of his hand and gave an indifferent order.
"promise!"
While the heavy artillery was still attacking the city, Li Xian had already sent people to bring in the more than 3,000 miscellaneous soldiers captured yesterday. Zhang Mingwu was a little confused about this at first, but did not dare to ask more questions. At this time, he heard that Li Xian
After saying this, I suddenly realized that I didn't dare to be negligent, so I hurriedly responded.
, the horse ran towards the location of the prisoners, and conveyed Li Xian's order loudly, which immediately caused an uproar among the prisoners. However, under the pressure of the Tang army's horizontal swords, they all soon calmed down.
, whether you like it or not, you can only act according to the orders of Tang Jun.
"Cheng Bin, bring your men up. The cavalry is close to cover. The infantry is ready to break into the city at any time, but it is not allowed to go deep. Be careful of enemy ambush. Just take down the city wall!"
Li Xian didn't care about the prisoners. He called Lin Chengbin over with a wave of his hand and gave him detailed instructions.
"promise!"
Li Xian's order was obviously more conservative, but Lin Chengbin did not hesitate. He simply agreed and rushed back to the formation. After a moment, when the horns sounded, Lin Chengbin's five thousand cavalry, three
Thousands of infantrymen began to move forward, but the speed was not very fast. They were just following a large number of prisoners. It did not look like they were charging into the city, but rather like they were escorting the prisoners.
"No! Hurry, gather the rolling stones at the city gate tower, and move quickly!"
Since the Tang army stopped shooting, all the Tubo officers and soldiers slowly poked their heads out from behind the city plate. When they saw the Tang army escorting the prisoners of war and marching towards the city gate, they couldn't help but feel dumbfounded.
Eyes wide open, I couldn't figure out what kind of drama Tang Jun was singing. He was in a daze when he saw Gar Qinling's face suddenly changed and he exclaimed and gave the general order.
"Cavalry attacks!"
As soon as Gar Qinling gave the order, the defenders on the city immediately became busy, running around carrying the rolling stones and wood that were originally scattered everywhere. The chaos of this kind of movement fell on Lin Chengbin
In my eyes, I dare not drop it lightly
Heart, he shouted, led the cavalry to cross the slowly advancing queue of prisoners of war, and rushed towards the city gate tower at high speed. At the same time, the officers and soldiers of the first brigade also began to take turns to shoot.
To disrupt the actions of the Tibetan army.
"Run away and target the city gate. Anyone who dares to disobey the order will be killed!"
Zhang Mingwu also noticed the moving actions of the defenders at the top of the city. He rolled his eyes slightly and guessed the Tibetan army's plan. He did not dare to delay any more. He pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist and slashed hard, roaring.
After giving the order, a group of personal guards rushed forward on horseback and whipped the prisoners who hesitated with their horse whips. Without counting, the prisoners who could not be beaten all rushed forward wildly.
The cavalry of the Tang Army quickly rushed to the city, and arrows were fired at the top of the city like a rain. Coupled with the volleys of officers and soldiers of the first brigade, the firepower was naturally astonishing. However, the Tubo army was surrounded by cats as they moved.
The results achieved by hiding behind the city walls were actually very limited, and they could not completely stop the Tibetan army from gathering wood and rolling stones.
"The entire army listening: at all costs, the gate of the city, the death of life and death in this battle, there are those who dare to retreat, kill! Those who will not enter, kill! Those who are slow to move, kill!"
The transportation can be carried out under the cover of the city disc, but throwing wooden and rolling stones under the city requires leaning out. In this case, it is bound to become the target of the Tang army's fire. Gar Qinling saw this very clearly.
At this critical moment, he
Without caring about his subordinates, he pulled out the horizontal knife from his waist and shouted a death order. Not only that, he also ordered the personal guards to go up and suppress the formation, forcing the defenders at the top of the city to risk their lives and attack the general who had rushed to the city.
A group of prisoners of war at the gate.
Facing the bright scimitars in the hands of the guards, the defenders did not dare to resist. They could only form several queues and took turns throwing lamu and rolling stones.
First of all, the prisoners of war rushing to transport sandbags at the city gate were certainly in bad luck. From time to time, some people were hit by rolling stones thrown from the city top or even the corpses of defenders, and the sound of wailing could be heard.
But the garrison at the top of the city did not have a good result. Often, just after a group of people threw something in their hands, everything in their hands was shot into sieves by the intensive firepower of the Tang army. The casualties were extremely heavy, but the latecomers still did not dare to retreat, and the war ended.
It has become a battle of attrition. The difference is that the Tang army is fighting for the lives of the prisoners of war, while the Tubo army is fighting for their own lives. Obviously, the pressure is completely on the side of the Tubo army.
The battle continued fiercely. After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, most of the three thousand defenders on the city had been killed or injured, and hundreds of prisoners of war who were rushing to transport sandbags below the city were also killed. The rest were killed by the Tang Army's cavalry.
Under his supervision, he did not dare to relax at all and kept moving sandbags and other debris out of the city gate opening. Gradually, a glimmer of light emerged from the originally dark city gate opening - the city gate opening was about to be opened!
"boom!"
Just when a group of prisoners of war were cheering because the city gate was about to be opened, they saw that only one or two layers of sandbag walls were left. Suddenly, someone pushed down the wall from the city. With a loud noise, sand and stones splashed and squeezed.
The prisoner at the front was caught off guard and was crushed into minced meat on the spot.
"Kill, kill all these traitors!"
Before all the prisoners of war could come to their senses, they heard a loud roar, and then countless Tibetan infantry soldiers armed with sharp blades swarmed into the city gate, slashing wildly with their knives, killing the prisoners immediately.
They were howling like ghosts, and suffered heavy casualties. The survivors turned around and rushed out of the city gate regardless of the situation. They screamed and fled into the distance.
"Infantry attack!"
When Lin Chengbin saw that the situation was not right, he did not dare to take it lightly. He shouted and ordered his three thousand infantry to attack.
"Follow me and fight into the city!"
As soon as the general gave the order, an infantry general holding a Mo Dao roared and led his troops towards the city gate. In an instant, he collided with the Tubo infantry that rushed out from the city gate.
Extremely cruel blood
The battle began. Both sides refused to give in. They were almost fighting for their lives. Swords were flashing, spears were flying, and countless lives were passing by like grass. The war turned into a stalemate for a while.
"Mo Dao Team, enter!"
This is a fight with no retreat for both sides. In the battle of blood and iron, the number of casualties on both sides is increasing sharply. The area near the city gate is already covered with corpses that have fallen to the ground, and there is a thick layer of ground.
It had accumulated several layers, and the scene was really terrifying. Seeing that the battle could not last for a long time, the general of the Tang Army who led his troops to attack immediately became anxious, roared, and threw the ace in his hand into the flesh and blood battlefield without hesitation.
middle.
"Raise the sword! Advance! Cut, turn, cross..."
The Mo Dao Team is naturally extremely powerful, but it is not easy to cultivate. The generals of the Tang Dynasty are generally reluctant to put this powerful army into the battlefield at once, and they are often used at the most critical times.
Obviously, at this time, for the Tang army charging into the city, it was no longer possible to give in, so they could only surrender this powerful army.
Entering into a meat grinder-like fight, the Mo Dao team did not disappoint the commander of the Infantry Army of the Tang Dynasty. As the trumpet sounded, the Mo Dao team, which had already lined up to the front line, danced like a wheel.
The Mo Dao cut into pieces all the Tubo officers and soldiers who dared to block the way, and in just a moment, they had forced their way through the city gate.
"Shoot the arrow, shoot the arrow!"
When the Tibetan captain Jie Minglusong, who was guarding the city gate, saw that something was wrong, he roared and ordered the more than a thousand crossbowmen who had already lined up in the city to focus their fire, regardless of the fact that there were still many defeated troops in front of them.
attack.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Since the general had given the order, all the crossbowmen did not dare to delay, and they loosened their hands to pull the strings. However, when they heard the sound of the bowstrings, a rain of arrows as dense as locusts poured towards the city gate.
In the past, in an instant, two people were fighting in a ball.
All the soldiers were shot so hard that they howled miserably. The Tang army's Modao team, which had just broken into the city, also suffered heavy losses as a result. After being charged by the surging Tibetan infantry, they could no longer stand their ground and were killed.
He was beaten so hard that he fell back into the city gate...
