Chapter 119: Recovering Songzhou (Part II)

Arrows and boulders fell from the sky, and the city of Songzhou was still full of screams and roars, and there was no shortage of sounds that should be heard in the war.

Half an hour passed, the arrows and boulders gradually stopped, and the Tubo generals who defended the city looked at the Tang army under the city unhurriedly.

It turns out that this is the strength of the Tang Dynasty that all countries surrendered, and with such strength, our Zampu can also replace it.

There is an idiom called Qian donkey skills poor, it is said that the tiger saw the donkey for the first time, thought it was a very powerful storage zài, the donkey also screamed a few times, the tiger was so frightened that he fled, and then found that the donkey did not move, and then approached, the donkey barked again, the tiger fled again, and repeated several times, the tiger finally found that the donkey this kind of thing in addition to only shouting, there is no other ability at all.

Now the Tubo generals who defend the city obviously regard themselves as tigers, and the Tang Dynasty soldiers have become the donkeys that can only bark, and the three sieges without bright spots have made the Tubo people feel at ease, and the so-called Tang Dynasty soldiers are nothing more than that.

As soon as the mood is relaxed, the defense of the city is becoming more and more orderly, and the enemy and the enemy are often learning from each other and growing each other.

The war drums beat again, and the tide-like Tang soldiers let out a shout of killing like a landslide and a crack, and rushed towards the city wall densely.

A series of ladders were set up between the arrows of the city wall, and the fierce soldiers of the former army bit the blades of horizontal knives in their mouths, and climbed up with red eyes, and the Tibetan soldiers still used hooks and sickles to push down the ladders.

A qiē is like a replay of the picture of the previous days. The Tibetan generals reclined on the pillars of the city tower, and even pointed at the Tang soldiers who were besieging the city and laughed at them.

However, this siege was a little different after all. Even the slightest difference can turn the tide of the battle completely.

In the crowd of Tang soldiers who climbed the ladder, someone suddenly reached out and took out a small clay pot from the skin bag on his waist, and someone immediately handed a torch below to ignite the lead of the clay pot. Then he yelled and threw it hard at the head of the city......"

The small clay pot exploded right above the Tibetan soldiers.

Rumble!

The sound of an explosion that shook the ground and the mountains. The Tubo soldiers guarding the city only felt that the city walls under their feet were shaking slightly, and they were shocked and looked at it, and all the Tubo soldiers who were two zhang square fell to the ground and covered their heads with their hands, screaming miserably. Blood and even white brains flowed from the top of his head, and the scene was very bloody and tragic.

The Tibetan soldiers were stunned for a moment, and extreme fear involuntarily appeared in everyone's eyes.

This is a weapon they have never seen before, or even heard of, a small clay pot that can explode like thunder of the Nine Heavens, and then countless people die inexplicably, this ...... It's the punishment of the gods!

The battlefield of the fierce fighting was unprecedentedly silent, and a Tibetan soldier stared blankly at the robe rolling and wailing on the ground. He threw away the weapon in his hand with a bang, knelt down and wept bitterly, and howled and repented in a five-body throw.

Belief in gods and monsters. In this era, it is still very marketable.

With the first, then there was the second, and the third, after the explosion of the small clay pot, the morale of the Tubo soldiers instantly dropped to the freezing point because of ignorance. So fear, they found in vain. I was fighting against the gods...... Where is this war, this is clearly death.

Some of the people knelt down, and some of the people who did not believe in evil were aroused to be ferocious, and raised their swords to slash at the Tang soldiers who had already climbed the city.

Snort!

The small clay pots with green smoke were thrown into the air at the same time, and this time they were thrown a little too much, there were hundreds.

Boom Boom!

Hundreds of zhang long city head horse road, the Tubo soldiers were almost all shrouded in the small clay pot strike range, after the explosion of the landslide and the ground cracked, soon there was a terrible howl like killing pigs, hundreds of zhang of the horse road, most of the Tubo soldiers have fallen to the ground rolling and moaning, only a small part of the Tubo soldiers opened their extremely frightened eyes, stared blankly as the Tang army climbed the city, watching them raise their swords at themselves......

…………

Under the south gate of Songzhou, another small branch of Tang soldiers who swam across the moat quietly sneaked to the city gate, and a special large clay pot was placed firmly in the middle of the closed city gate, and the first person held a torch and lit the fuse, and then a group of people hurriedly ran away.

After a loud bang, the gate was blown open with a large hole large enough for a man and a horse to pass through.

In the middle of the army, Niu Jinda's eyes lit up, he looked up to the sky and laughed, ran to the giant drum in three or two steps, kicked the drumming sergeant away, personally took the drumstick, and beat the war drum in a hurry.

Rushing to the front is more than 100 cavalry, holding torches in their hands, a soft leather bag hanging next to the saddle, when countless Tubo soldiers rushed out of the city gate to defend, they were horrified to find that the Tang cavalry took out a small black clay pot from the soft leather bag, more than 100 clay pots exploded in the air, and the Tubo soldiers fell to the ground......

The cavalry rode their horses and stepped on the corpses of the Tubo soldiers, rushed into the city gate, followed by countless foot soldiers with swords and swords, the cavalry took the lead, the foot soldiers followed, rushed all the way into the city from the city gate, and then threw the small clay pots all over the city, and only the sound of explosions was heard in Songzhou City.

The street fighting in the city ended faster than expected, starting from the cavalry entering the city and throwing clay pots everywhere, only two pillars of incense later, a few people who looked like Tubo generals led their subordinates to gather in a pile, threw down their weapons, and shouted in jerky Chinese, "We have surrendered!" ”

Hou Junji, Liu Lan, Niu Jinda, the three chief managers rode into the city, and at first glance they saw the Tubo soldiers kneeling all over the ground, everyone knelt on the ground respectfully, their expressions were full of fear, and the eyes of the three chief managers were like gods coming to the world.

Hou Junji looked around left and right for a long time, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "Someone!" Hurry up and enter Chang'an, and the king will recover Songzhou! ”

Songzhou was recaptured, and its process ...... It really can't be called "thrilling", at least in Li Su's eyes, this siege was so easy that even he didn't expect it, the whole process was like a child in the previous life New Year's New Year, like a cannon battle, point one and throw one, after throwing a few, Songzhou City was broken, the Tubo people fell, Hou Jun gathered his spirits and rode into the city, enjoying the cheers of the soldiers and the worship of the Tubo people, once again looked up to the sky and smiled, and did not laugh.

Eight hundred miles of fast horses galloped day and night, five days later, the good news arrived in Chang'an.

At this time, in the Taiji Palace of Chang'an City, Li Shimin's expression was as gloomy as a dark cloud, and several ministers in the palace had angry expressions on their faces.

There are not many things that can make the Tang Dynasty monarchs angry, but the one in front of him has aroused Li Shimin's long-suppressed anger.

It is said that Songtsen Gampo can also be regarded as the wise monarch of Tibet, after all, Tibet completed its unification under his rule. However, the wise monarch sometimes can't help but wonder how much water is mixed in his word "wise".

At the same time that the Tang army attacked the city of Songzhou, Songtsen Gampo sent an envoy to Chang'an again, asking to see Li Shimin.

The Tang Dynasty monarchs were very surprised, they couldn't figure out what style of painting Songtsen Gampo was, I was fighting with you, okay? You still have the face to send a messenger?

There has been no news from the Songzhou front, and Li Shimin is on fire, although several ministers in the DPRK and China, including Wei Zheng, feel that they should not lose their demeanor as a great country and should summon the envoy of Tubo, but Li Shimin is still rare and willful, and hangs the envoy in the Sifang Hall of Honglu Temple, and asks him to reflect on behalf of Songtsen Gampo for a few days.

The Tibetan envoy obviously did not know what introspection was, but this time he entered Chang'an on behalf of Songtsen Gampo, but he was much more arrogant than the previous two times.

When the Tang army attacked the city twice and the city was not conquered, the confidence of Tubo was suddenly sufficient, and when the envoy's eyes looked at the Tang Dynasty again, it was far less deferential and awe-inspiring than when he saw the heavenly kingdom, and the country was very realistic between countries, and the strength of the country determined the monarch and ministers, and now it seems that the elite of the Tang Guanzhong, which is looking down on the world, is nothing more than that.

Li Shimin hung the Tubo envoy in the Sifang Pavilion for several days, helplessly looking at the Chinese ministers, this is not what a holy monarch should do, no matter how bad the intentions of the people are, you can also meet it, right? His Majesty, the emperor of the state of etiquette, doesn't even have this kind of bearing, how do you teach those foreign barbarians to look at us?

Li Shimin had no choice but to summon the Tibetan envoy, and in front of the Manchu civil and military forces, the arrogant Tibetan envoy finally expressed his intention.

The Tibetan envoy came on the order of Songtsen Gampo, and of course he did not come to Chang'an to show off his might, or rather, he did not only show off his might, but he also had a very important purpose...... Unyieldingly, he asked the Tang Emperor Xià to marry the princess.

It is a very speechless request, the two countries are still at war, but this head is full of spring breeze to get married, Chang'an Songzhou and Songzhou have completely different painting styles, so that the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers are at a loss, want to laugh, and want to kill the whole family of Songtsan Gampo......

I've proposed two times before and was rejected, and this time again? It seems that Datang's sister paper is really attractive.

On the top of the main hall, Li Shimin stayed for a long time, and suddenly laughed angrily.

"Occupy my Tang City and slaughter my Tang people, and now Songtsan Gampo actually asks to marry the Tang princess?" Li Shimin's tone was a little chilly, and by the way, he threw a cold "Is your brain caught in the door" look.

The Tibetan envoy said without humility or arrogance: "Zampu has long admired the etiquette poems and texts of the Tang Dynasty, and it is Zampu who has been wishing to marry the princess of the Tang Dynasty for many years, and I ask the emperor for his grace." ”

ps: There is another more, it may be a little late, it is estimated to be more than zero o'clock, because in the past two days I have been struggling with the rhythm of work and rest, after today, maybe, maybe...... will resume normal work and rest...... Right? (To be continued)
