The roar of war drums resounded throughout the heaven and earth.
The low sound of the trumpet reaches straight to the soul and makes people feel heart palpitated.
The war has begun!
The Turks attacked the north and west gates, and the Tibetans attacked the east and south gates.
Ten thousand troops were invested in each gate. Sword and shield soldiers rushed forward, holding shields to protect their bodies. They marched in neat steps. Their swords hit the shields, making a thumping sound, and the sound was shocking.
Many people carried ladders and mixed in with the sword and shield soldiers, rushing very quickly.
From behind, the archers followed up, firing thousands of arrows, and rushed straight to the top of the city to cover the sword and shield soldiers moving forward.
A very conventional siege battle, organized and organized.
On the east gate wall, the soldiers were still hiding under the sheds to avoid arrows. Qin Huaidao looked at the charging enemies through the gap in the wall and shouted: "Hold still, don't panic, let them come up and fight again."
Siege warfare is cruel and cold-blooded. You usually choose to shoot at each other, waiting to kill a wave of enemies before they get close to demoralize them, then destroy the ladders to prevent climbing, almost always exchanging lives for lives.
Everyone was a little surprised when they heard Qin Huaidao's order, but no one dared to disobey and they all hid themselves.
The order was passed to the other three city gates through the command flag, and all were strictly implemented.
In this way, the enemy will be unable to deal with it.
In front of the Tubo army formation, Lun Qinling was inexplicably panicked when he saw this scene. He couldn't guess what the Hanzhou army was going to do. With the Han king's great military exploits, it was impossible that he didn't know how to fight. Lun Qinling smelled the atmosphere of conspiracy, but couldn't see it.
What is it? Get nervous.
A general next to him said excitedly: "Second prince, the Hanzhou army didn't stop us. We just rushed forward in one go and decided to fight."
"That's right, not a single soldier died during the charge. It's great. As long as we rush to the city, the archers cover the sword and shield soldiers to climb up, and we can attack quickly. The general will ask for a fight." A general said excitedly.
said.
"Don't worry, there's something weird!" Lun Qinling said cautiously, his eyes fixed on the city wall in front of him.
"What could be weird? Could it be that in the previous arrow attack, all the people on the city wall died, and they were scared?" the other party said with some surprise.
"From the beginning to the end, not a single figure appeared on the city wall. There must be fraud. The King of Han is not as incompetent as you said. You despise your opponent. You are looking for death."
The words about Qin Ling immediately awoke everyone, and they all looked at each other without saying a word.
Soon, the siege troops rushed to the bottom of the city wall, and the ladders were set up. The soldiers held the swords in their mouths, or grabbed them with one hand, and used their hands and feet to climb up crazily.
The archers unfurled their bows and nocked arrows, locking their sights on the city wall, but still no one appeared, and they were all stunned.
The life-and-death battle turned into a siege drill for one side, which was weird and scary.
The soldiers who climbed up were also terrified. It was too quiet and abnormal, like a ghost town.
No one noticed a pair of cold eyes staring at all of this. Seeing that the enemy was about to climb up, Qin Huaidao shouted: "Send the order, release the explosive packs first, and follow up with bows and arrows to kill!"
The order was quickly conveyed through the flag soldiers.
The Guards soldiers who had been prepared quickly lit the explosive package, got out of the shed, quickly threw the explosive package under the ladder, and then retracted under the shed to hide from the arrows.
An archer who was staring at the city wall was about to shoot an arrow, but found that the target was missing. He stopped abruptly, feeling a force in his heart and feeling uncomfortable.
The enemy who climbed up saw someone sticking his head out, and thought he was going to shoot an arrow, so he made preparations. However, he found that the person disappeared in a flash. Instead, he dropped something and started shooting, still sizzling fire, and he was very confused.
The unknown is the most terrifying!
"Climb up, hurry up, and kill on the top of the city." A general yelled.
The climbing soldiers reacted and continued to climb crazily. Soon they came to the city wall. They didn't see the shadow of their opponents. Instead, they found that many places had been set up as sheds. What was going on?
"Boom boom boom!"
Before he could react, a series of terrifying explosions sounded, and groups of terrifying fires shot up from under the city wall, crowding the surrounding areas. People who were about to climb the ladder were torn into pieces, and people several meters away were also shocked to death.
, and flew out.
The ladder was even blown to pieces, and the people on it fell down.
"Ahhh!"
A series of panicked screams rang out, and the people who were about to turn over and jump onto the city wall fell down. They were in the air, kicking their hands and feet wildly, and they were so frightened that they didn't know where their weapons were lost.
If the city wall is more than ten meters high, if it falls down like this, it will either die or be destroyed.
The enemies under the city wall were also stunned by the explosion. The ground was littered with body parts and pieces of flesh, and they were wailing loudly.
The archers who were a little further away were dumbfounded. They were all shocked. It was the first time they saw such a terrifying attack. They even went blank and couldn't react.
Further away, Lun Qinling and Khan were also shocked when they saw this scene.
But the Hanzhou Army got out of the shed excitedly and took the opportunity to shoot down with all their strength. The arrows were like rain and the crossbow bolts were like locusts. They were densely packed like a fishing net and fell towards the bottom of the city.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
"Heaven's Punishment, it's the Heaven's Punishment General, run quickly!"
"Don't run, attack, attack quickly."
"Quickly——"
The enemy troops were frightened and shouted all kinds of things. The soldiers were frightened and ran away. However, they did not receive the order. Running would be a deserter, which is a capital crime. The officers did not dare. They shouted orders and tried to stop them, but they were not stopped at all.
If you can't stop it, even the threat of killing will not work.
But how can two legs be faster than an arrow or a crossbow bolt?
Large swathes of people were shot and fell, and wailings could be heard one after another.
Until this moment, the Tibetan and Turkic camps heard the sound of withdrawing their troops, but they were too close to the city wall. It was not easy to escape from the shooting range.
After shooting the arrows, they picked up the fallen arrows from the shed next to them and continued to draw the bows one by one excitedly. It didn't matter whether they could hit the target or not. This style of shooting relied entirely on dense coverage.
After a good round of shooting, the few remaining enemies escaped from the range.
Everyone stopped, looked up to the sky and cheered, venting the tension and excitement in their hearts. Gradually, the cheers turned into a unified shout, soaring into the sky.
"The King of Han is mighty!"
"The King of Han is mighty!"
"The King of Han is mighty!"
In one battle, he killed 20,000 to 30,000 enemy troops and picked up countless arrows in vain, leaving his own side almost unscathed. Such a great victory was inspiring and enough to make the soldiers' blood boil and their morale solidify.
At this moment, the two armies outside the city are nothing more than chickens and dogs in everyone's eyes, and there is no need to be afraid.
At this moment, both the imperial surrender and the gathered Turkic surrender were in awe of Qin Huaidao. With a little trick, they could easily kill 20,000 to 30,000 people. What a terrifying method and powerful ability this is?
Such a great man is so convincing and awe-inspiring!
Qin Huaidao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Once the ladder exploded, the Tibetans and Turks would not be able to attack again today. They couldn't climb the city wall with their hands, right?
After a while, the cheers gradually died down and the enemy did not attack.
Qin Huaidao gave a decisive order: "Send an order and send a team of a thousand people from each city gate to go out on foot to inflict wounds on the enemy and clean the battlefield. Once the enemy comes forward, just retreat quickly."
Although a big hole was dug at the city gate, there was a small path left on both sides close to the walls, which was enough to walk across.
The order was quickly conveyed, the city gates were opened, and the troops rushed out to sweep the battlefield.
There are tens of thousands of people attacking each city gate at the same time. They are countless weapons. The swords, guns and iron spears are taken back and smelted into iron and made into crossbow arrows. The feathers and arrows can also be used after being repaired, so that the generals can prepare for a rainy day.
The Tibetans and Turks may have been stunned by the bombing and did not send troops to stop it.
This makes everyone more excited.
…
Tubo camp, inside the golden tent.
Lun Qinling looked at the generals with a livid face. The generals lowered their heads and said nothing. They had not yet woken up from the shock. It was so shocking and terrifying.
People are powerless to resist in the explosion, just like withered grass on the prairie swept away by the strong wind. It is difficult to struggle. Who can resist such a terrible weapon?
Morale began to decline, and panic and uneasiness that they had never experienced before facing the imperial army came to their hearts. Everyone began to doubt whether this was true? How could the famous King of Han be provoked by himself?
Lun Qinling felt that the morale of the army was low and everyone was afraid. If this continued, the consequences would be serious. He quickly said: "Everyone, we have no retreat. If we don't kill the King of Han, the King of Han will also invade Tubo and steal our women, children, cattle and sheep."
, can you bear to see this scene?"
Everyone was shocked and shook their heads.
"Cheer up, remember, if we lose, we will all die, and Tubo will also face the attack of the King of Han. Last time, the King of Han did not have enough troops around him, so he was gentle, appeased, surrendered, and continued to use us. This time, the King of Han will not be able to do it again
Huairou, if you don't kill the King of Han, Tubo will disappear completely and disappear forever."
The words were so shocking that everyone's expressions changed drastically, and their panicked eyes became firm.
Lun Qinling nodded with satisfaction and continued to add fire: "The King of Han may not have a lot of explosives. When they are used up, send an order to build a ladder and continue the attack tomorrow. Then go to capture the people nearby and stand in front as cannon fodder tomorrow."
, I would like to see how dare he explode."
"The second prince is wise." Everyone's eyes lit up and they became excited.
No one thinks there is anything wrong with doing this. In everyone's opinion, they are all Tang people, and if they die, they will die.
However, Lun Qinling knew that doing so would cause a lot of trouble, but compared to losing the Tubo army and exterminating the clan, the trouble was nothing. The Taoist friends would die rather than the poor Taoists.
However, we cannot do this on our own, we have to involve the Turks.
There is no way to go, so let’s go crazy together!
