Chapter 295 Fierce Fight to the End(1/2)

The siege was the most brutal.

The attacker often needs to spend three to five hundred dollars to enter the city. The premise is to spread more flowers and disperse the defenders' forces. However, without siege equipment such as ladders, it is impossible to disperse the defenders' forces. Attacking the city is seeking death.

The city gate became the only passage for the Tibetan army, but it was also the Naihe Bridge.

The Tang army's 10,000 troops were too small compared to the Tubo army's 100,000 troops. However, the Tang army had continuous crossbows, and the two-stage shooting could ensure uninterrupted output, which meant that arrows were fired at all times. The combat effectiveness of 10,000 troops was comparable to that of the Tubo army.

Than fifty thousand, or even more.

Two thousand-man armies took turns at the city gate, and the arrows they fired were as dense as rain, completely sealing the passage. In addition, there were countless arrows flying over the city wall, making it a three-dimensional attack. The Tibetan army was unable to attack within fifty meters in front of the city wall.

It forms a terrifying line of death that no one can surpass.

On the death line, corpses were piled up one after another, piled up like a wall. Many Tibetan soldiers hid under the wall of corpses to avoid the arrows, and were frightened by the horrific shooting.

Qin Huaidao calmly looked at the wall of corpses in front of him, and immediately mobilized a Tang army to attack with rockets. After several rounds of shooting, the fire ignited the corpses, and the fire spread and formed thick smoke. The Tubo army hiding under the wall of corpses could not bear it.

He was so smoked that he turned around and ran away.

The killing continues.

The offense is still crazy.

The Tibetan army suffered countless casualties and was extremely tragic. The blood stained the ground red and flowed into the ditch along the ground. However, it was instantly dried and evaporated by the fire, and it looked like it seeped into people.

until--

The attacking army was wiped out, and there were layers of corpses on the ground. There were still wounded people who were not dead, wailing in pain, asking for help, but no one came up.

In the distance, Lun Qinling frowned as he watched this scene. Almost 10,000 people went up, and they were all killed in a short time. On the other hand, the output speed of the Tang army's crossbows seemed to be inexhaustible, and the morale was frighteningly high.

The generals around Lun Qinling were also staring closely at the city ahead, filled with fear. If ten thousand people went up, they would be gone so quickly. Even if they went up, they would lose their lives. How could we fight this battle?

Everyone looked at Lun Qinling one after another, their eyes becoming complicated.

Lun Qinling knew that if he didn't take it, his morale would be hit and people's hearts would probably be scattered. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "We must take the Shenshe camp tonight."

The Sharpshooter Battalion is the elite of the Chinese army and one of the direct troops of Lun Qinling. They are going to fight tooth and nail.

When everyone heard that he was not allowed to come, they all breathed a sigh of relief and did not answer the question.

Not long after, a large army came forward in neat formation, totaling 10,000 people, all holding large bows, carrying quivers on their waists, wearing leather armor, and looking murderous.

After all, it is a direct line unit, and the equipment on it is much better than other units.

The army stopped within range and prepared.

On the city wall, Qin Huaidao could see clearly and decisively issued the order to close the city gate and enter the shelter to hide from arrows. The soldiers were well-trained and obeyed the orders. They did not hesitate to get under the shelter. Although it was lower and more crowded,

If you can survive, no one cares.

The city gate closed with a bang, and thousands of workers had been organized long ago, carrying generations of soil and rushing up to seal the city gate hole to prevent the enemy from taking the opportunity to knock it open and rush in.

"Bang——"

Suddenly, a terrifying sound of bowstrings exploding was heard. Tens of thousands of people fired arrows at the same time, and the sound shook the night sky.

Immediately afterwards, a large cloud of fire covered the sky and the sun, roared in, and illuminated the night.

As soon as they came up, the enemy used rockets, which were not only astonishingly lethal but also more intimidating. The soldiers realized the danger when they saw the night sky lit up, and those who had not yet entered the shelter hurried in.

"Duh duh duh——"

The next moment, countless rockets soared into the sky and landed on the shelter, making a dense sound like hailstones. Countless rockets fell on the city wall. The fire above continued to burn, and black smoke curled up, scaring everyone away.

When they found out that nothing happened to the shelter, they all breathed a sigh of relief and felt refreshed.

The brave ones went out of the shelter to check, and saw the rockets shot into the earth bags and extinguished quickly. They excitedly told the story, and the soldiers became even more happy.

The defenders of the city are most afraid of arrows. Now that arrows pose no threat, why are they so afraid?

The morale was boosted for a while. When they heard the sound of bow strings and knew that the enemy's second round of rocket attacks was coming, they all hid in the shelter and started talking and laughing.

"Master Qin, this method is good. The Tubo dogs can't shoot the arrows, and they can't climb up without the ladder. We don't have to worry. This battle was fought happily."

"That was Master Qin who checked all the wood, iron materials and craftsmen in the homes of people outside the city in advance and brought them into the city. Master Qin took precautions and was extremely wise."

"Nonsense, Lord Qin went out with 5,000 men. He not only took back the Khitan and the Xi tribe, but also captured Goguryeo. Did you see the previous air attacks? Gods are like human beings. We are blessed this time."

"What blessing? Tell me about it."

"Capture Tubo, no one has been able to do it for thousands of years. Tubo has been fighting with the Tang Dynasty for so many years, and we are the first army to reach the royal city."

"Taking Tibet?"

Everyone can't calm down anymore. Those Tubo are responsible for the destruction of the country. Everyone can take advantage of it. It's not a problem to get promoted and make money. The key is that this glory can last a lifetime, and everyone's eyes are extremely fanatical.

The terrifying rocket attack continued, but at this moment it turned into a sound of nature. Everyone was eager to shoot more. Anyway, the enemy did not have a ladder and could not get in. It was just a waste.

After more than ten rounds of rockets, the Tibetan army did not stop and continued shooting with ordinary feather arrows. The soldiers did not care at all and hid under the shelter to chat and laugh out loud from time to time. They were very relaxed.

After more than ten rounds of arrow rain, the archers' arms swelled so much that they could no longer pull the big bow, and some of them retreated.

Lun Qinling saw that one of the arrows in Luosu City did not fight back, and he did not understand the effect of the shooting. However, the attack just now consumed more than 300,000 arrows. Even if a few of them hit the target, they would still be able to kill almost all the enemies in the city.

The anger in his heart calmed down a little, and he looked at the generals around him and asked: "Who is going up?"

Everyone also thought about the consequences of shooting more than 300,000 arrows into the city. The opponents in the city may have been disabled. Going in at this time would be a waste. Everyone started arguing and rushing to get in.

Regarding Qin Ling's giving the opportunity to a confidant, he certainly takes good care of his own people.

Soon, an army of several thousand people moved forward again, and a group of people were carrying wooden blocks and preparing to break open the city gate.

On the city wall, when the soldiers saw that the enemy was coming again, they immediately beamed. Why don't they give up their lives for nothing? They were checking the repeating crossbows one by one, making preparations for the battle.

Soon, an order came from the general, requesting to be let in to fight, and everyone agreed without hesitation. The enemy did not have ladders, and they had powerful weapons such as repeating crossbows, so the city was defended without any pressure.

Not long after, the enemy troops rushed up. However, this time the enemy was in a hurry and mobilized two thousand archers to suppress the defenders on the city wall. A group of people walked in front carrying the door, and others held simple shields to cover.

The shield was made of wood and covered with a layer of cowhide, so its defense was not high.

Qin Huaidao saw clearly and decisively ordered: "General Duan, please pass on the order and tell everyone to wait. No words, no exposure, no action."

"Follow the order." Duan Zan didn't know why, but he passed on the order without hesitation.

After waiting for a while, the enemy began to knock on the door, making a "dong-dong" sound that shook the night sky.

However, the city gate was filled with bags of soil and could not be opened. The soldiers obeyed the general's orders and did not speak or stand up to observe. They only cautiously peeked their heads for a glance, then immediately retracted without saying a word.

As a result, the city wall was quiet and a bit strange.

Lun Qinling saw that there was no counterattack in the city, which was very abnormal, and his thoughts began to stir. Could it be that he was killed by his more than 300,000 arrows? Or did he sneak away through the back door?

Other generals also thought of this and looked at the attacking troops with envy. If the opponents in the city were crippled or escaped, the credit would be in vain. The most indispensable thing in the city was money.

The attacking troops were also confused and kept silent. What was going on?

Soon, the city gate was smashed. The Tubo army threw away the door panel and frantically pulled out the dirt bags inside. They were all excited, as if they saw countless silver coins waiting. The two thousand archers responsible for suppressing them also relaxed their vigilance.

Looking ahead curiously.

After waiting for a while, the soil bags in the doorway were about to be emptied, and the city was still quiet, as if the troops had withdrawn. The Tibetan army became bolder, and their vigilance dropped. They stepped forward one after another, preparing to rush into the city as soon as possible.

The leading generals had already given orders to rush into the city, and they robbed the money at will. Half of it was handed over, and the other half was for themselves.

Under the temptation of money, no one wants to fall behind and wants to be the first to rush into the city.

Greed is getting stronger and stronger, and guarding is getting looser.

Seeing that there was no movement in the city, more people gathered around, fearing that they would fall behind and lose their money.

"It's clear, let's fight in -"

I don't know who shouted, and the Tibetan army at the city gate rushed forward excitedly.

As soon as the others saw that the city gate was open, they didn't care about anything else and rushed forward quickly.

"kill--"

Suddenly, a thunderous roar sounded from the city wall.

The Tibetan army that rushed into the city saw countless people emerging from all sides, firing crossbows wildly, and suddenly panicked. They could no longer retreat. Many people were still rushing in frantically and blocked the city gate. They could only rush forward. Just now

After running for a few steps, I found a huge pit in front of me. There was insufficient light and I had not noticed it before.

There were companions crowding behind, there was a big pit in front, and there were countless Tang soldiers shooting at both sides. It was a dead end.

The Tibetan troops who rushed in panicked and became confused. They were pushed by the people behind and fell down. More people were shot to death on the spot. The people behind them stepped on the corpses and continued to rush forward, but also fell down.

On the city wall, the soldiers couldn't wait to hear the order and fired quickly. One arrow after another was launched, tearing open the night with the soldiers full of fighting spirit and slamming into the enemy's body.

The quiet city instantly turned into a deadly death, harvesting the lives of the enemies that rushed up.

Indifferent, crazy, ruthless!

In the distance, Lun Qinling saw this scene and his pupils shrank suddenly. Knowing that the charging army was finished, he felt a great hatred in his heart. He clenched his fists tightly, and his fingernails pierced the skin, and blood overflowed.

When the other soldiers saw this scene, they had mixed emotions, and they were even a little more grateful that they were not one of their own.

The attacking troops were stunned. They watched the people around them fall one by one. They were so cold that they were lucky enough to survive. They reacted suddenly, turned around and ran away, wishing they could grow wings.

The city gate was blocked by enemy corpses, making it impossible to get in. There was no way out unless we escaped.

The battle ended quickly. The soldiers were still unsatisfied. They shouted excitedly and vented their joy. The battle was incredible, so easy and enjoyable.

Duan Zan was commanding his troops to shoot the incoming enemies. He hurried up the city wall, found Qin Huaidao and said excitedly: "My lord, it's amazing that you can still fight like this. I admire you, I admire you, hahaha!"

"Don't get too happy too soon, how many more do we have left?" Qin Huaidao reminded.

"Each of us carries a group of war horses to carry supplies, and the most we carry is arrows. Each of us has a hundred arrows, which makes the army a million. Your Majesty will spare no effort for this battle."
