Depend on! In the Tang army's array, there are even hidden firecrackers, now, our cavalry, which is scattered in a row, will not completely become the target of the beating? !

It's a slaughtering rhythm!

"Quick! , Mingjin, Mingjin, let them come back! ”

When Tulubai roared and shouted, on the opposite Tang army's formation, with the shouting of a person who looked like a captain, the command flag waved violently, and the two rows of firecrackers standing or kneeling, the four thousand firecrackers, suddenly fired together.

"Bang bang 。。。。。"

There was a dense sound of popping beans, which sounded violently, and the embers that floated from the mouth of the bell formed two bright yellow and dazzling lines of fire, and a large area of choking and thick white mist surged, instantly turning the entire Tang army into a fairyland on earth.

Of the 4,000 firearms, 3,600 were fired, and these 3,600 small lead bullets weighing three coins formed a dense curtain of death rain, roaring towards the Tibetan cavalry that was rushing wildly.

From the clairvoyant mirror, Tulu Baihu could clearly see that the rain of lead bullets that roared away shot the Tibetan cavalry, either men or horses, who rushed on the opposite side.

At least nearly five or six hundred Tibetan cavalrymen were shot at the moment they opened fire, and the screams of the cavalry were mixed with the mournful screams of the horses, like the laughter of death. The Tibetan cavalry turned on their backs, and the entire cavalry formation that rushed forward fell into chaos and collapse in an instant.

It was only then that the sound of the Tibetan army's gold sounded properly, but it was too late.

Just when the remaining more than 1,000 Tibetan cavalry pulled out their horses and fled in a panic, the first round of shooting of the Tang army began again.

More than 400 Tibetan cavalrymen rolled off their horses with wails, and they were killed and wounded.

The remaining cavalry of the Tibetan army, which was less than 700 horsemen, was already terrified, like headless flies, scurrying around in the wilderness.

At this moment, 3,000 Tang Army Flying Harriers rode lightly, like tigers out of the mountain, swords out of the box, and swooped down on the scattered 700 Tibetan cavalry.

A hunt without suspense, almost a complete massacre, horses' hooves rumbled, knives and spears stabbed, and the Tibetan cavalry screamed and died, barely able to parry.

In the end, only the cavalry of the Tibetan army, which was less than 100 cavalry, finally escaped with their lives under the blade of the Tang army, and they had been beaten to the hood, and after scurrying around in the field for a while, they hurriedly pulled out their horses' heads and rushed back to the north gate to enter the city.

At the north gate, Tulu Baihu, who saw this tragic scene clearly with a clairvoyant mirror, felt the pain in his heart like a knife.

Well, his own cavalry attacked this time, but even a Tang Army gunner didn't kill it, so he was all reimbursed outside Naqu City, damn it, this is not a battle at all, but a massacre!

The Tang Army is so fierce and ruthless, well-organized and sophisticated, are these soldiers and horses under him really the opponents of the Tang Army?

Thinking of this, Tulubaihu felt himself, cold from head to toe.

Seeing the rout of the Tibetan army that attacked, behind the Tang army formation in the south, a cold and smug smile flashed on the face of Liu Wenxiu, the commander of the Tang army.

Hmph, such a trick of the Tibetan army, he has already made corresponding arrangements in the battle plan, and it can be said that he has already been able to capture them in this out-of-town assault. With such an almost crushing firearm advantage, Tulubaiham's little tricks are like child's play.

After seeing the remnants of the Tibetan cavalry, fleeing back to the city like a frightened rabbit, he was inexplicably proud, and immediately coldly ordered: "The Tibetan cavalry has been destroyed, continue to attack the city with artillery." ”

"Order!"

The commander of the Tang Army's artillery, the red flag in his hand, was raised high again.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

Another 180 jet-black 32-pound iron bullets roared, and in the deafening sound of cannons, the broken bricks on the city wall flew like rain, and choking dust and mist flew up all over the sky.

The entire northern wall is covered with dense cobweb cracks, and the damage to the entire wall has reached a shocking level, like a dying patient struggling to die.

All the defending Tibetan troops, including Tulu Baihu, felt that the city wall under their feet was shaking back and forth even more violently, and as many as hundreds of Tibetan soldiers who had not had time to lie down or hold on to them fell from the city wall with screams. A large number of collapsed pheasant moats were also shaken down from under the city wall, falling apart, and these deviated pheasant moats, smashed down from such a high position, and immediately scattered into fragments, burying those Tibetan troops who were shaken down, whether dead or alive.

There were also a few scattered cannons placed on the city, which were also thrown around like toys that had been shaken away, and fell from the city walls, and then fell to the ground in a pile of scrap copper and iron.

Under the heavy bombardment of the Tang army's heavy dragon bombardment, Naqu City, a city wall that has been carefully built since the early Ming Dynasty, was also bombarded by the Tang army's dragon bombardment, like other state capitals in Wusizang.

After being hit hard by the second heavy blow, the Tibetan defenders suddenly fell into even more serious confusion than during the first shelling.

Under such a violent force, in the face of such an absolute death that no manpower could resist at all, all the Tibetan troops on the southern city wall, who had been fighting for a long time, were also seriously damaged in confidence, and the morale that was not high in the first place suddenly dropped to an almost impossible level.

And those young men who were forcibly recruited to defend the city had already broken their courage, and many of them howled frantically, and immediately lost their weapons and fled for their lives.

At this time, there was no need for anyone to mobilize, and as soon as someone shouted, they immediately lost their posts, wailed and rushed down the city wall and road, and fled for their lives in a frenzy.

When the furious Tulu Baihu was about to kill again, the head of the city next to him, Karma, the head of the city of Nagqu, rushed over in a panic and shouted to him: "King Khan, the artillery of the Tang army is so sharp, this northern city wall cannot be defended!" ”

"You, what did you say?!"

Tulubaihu glared at him with a blood-red face, his gaze so fierce that it almost kills.

"General, the Tang army's artillery is so accurate and fierce, and our army has no effective means of counterattack, this southern city wall will be collapsed by the Tang army sooner or later, we are here to defend hard, in addition to being blown up and killed together with the city wall, what can we do?"

The Karma knelt down and shouted, frowning and shouting at Tulu Baihu with a sad face.

Tulubaihu's face was distorted and painful.

He had to admit that this Karma's words were reasonable, and they were the most correct decision in such a predicament.

Under such fierce and ferocious artillery fire from the Tang army, their so-called stubborn guards were nothing more than meaningless and futile deaths.

Into the, what kind of battle is this!

Just being beaten, unable to fight back, watching these dogs enter the Tang Army, rampantly and recklessly bombarding the city wall with heavy artillery, he has no choice at all, but he can only be like a shrunken turtle, watching and passively beating, in this world, is there anything more aggrieved than this?

It's just that if such a hasty withdrawal order is given, what a blow it will be to the morale of all the defenders!

Tulu Baihu was very entangled in his heart, gritting his teeth and making a decision, Karma hurriedly shouted: "King Khan, the third shelling of the Tang army is about to start again, and if we don't make a quick decision, our defenders will only have more casualties, what is the point of such a perseverance?" If you don't retreat into the city, it is important to stick to the streets. ”

Faced with his anxious expression, Tulubaihu let out a long sigh, his face full of gloom.

He knew that although the city wall was very strong and could withstand many rounds of artillery bombardment by the Tang army, the defenders on the city wall had no role to speak of except for needless death in the shelling again and again.

Tulubaihu gritted his teeth, pulled up the kneeling Karma, and sighed: "You are right, the Tang army's artillery is so fierce, and it is meaningless to defend this northern city wall. Then pass on the general's order, and let all the defenders of the city wall immediately retreat from the city, and at the entrances of the streets in the city, set up a formation to meet the enemy, and kill the enemy in the city! ”

"The Khan King is wise!"

After hearing the order of Tulu Baihu to abandon the city wall, on the four walls, the terrified Tibetan troops and the young men who were conscripted immediately fled from the city wall in a hurry like a tidal wave that had retreated.

When he saw the Tibetan troops on the city walls retreating like a tide, Liu Wenxiu, the commander of the Tang army, couldn't help but sneer on his resolute face.

He knew that this siege battle, which had no new ideas, had finally come to a pure artillery show.

Liu Wenxiu saw that these left troops defending the city, under this absolute violence and death, were crushed like ants, and they had no power to fight back at all, and finally fled down the city in embarrassment, how can he say how happy he was.

Immediately, he quickly ordered: "Pass on the commander's military order, all the dragon artillery team, continue to fire salvo bombardment until the northern wall is completely destroyed!" ”

"Order!"

The commander of the artillery of the Tang Army, who commanded the firing of the artillery, held the red order flag in his hand again.

"Ready!"

"Put!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

……

The heavy artillery roared, the embers flew away, the smoke filled the sky, and after another round of heavy dragon cannon salvo bombardment, the sound of huge iron bullets crashing and the collapse of the city wall was like the roar of death, and it resounded continuously.

The entire northern city wall was splashed with large pieces of rubble, and the rammed earth in the city wall flew out like rain, and the pheasant moat and the female wall were scattered in all directions like torn pieces of cloth.

Only a few rumbling sounds made the earthquake tremble, and the entire northern city wall showed a more broken and peeling shape, the outer wall was peeled off in large pieces, and the bluestone lining of the inner ancestors was also cracked, and in the thick and deep cracks that spread everywhere like performance art, the yellow rammed earth in the middle fell out a lot, dyeing the outer city wall into a sand yellow.

"Keep attacking, don't stop, until the walls are broken!"

"Order!"

Soon, the seven rounds were released, and the curved city wall was already very damaged by the bombardment, and from a distance, it looked like a candle in the wind, and only the remnants were left. However, despite its crumbling damage, the wall still stands.

The solidity of the curved city wall made Liu Wenxiu secretly praise it in his heart.

After all, this is an important town in the north of Wusizang, and it is also an important place for the local rulers to carefully build, and the structure of this Naqu city is far more solid than the ordinary Han City in the interior, and even the Jintang City that he once defended.

This is because, although this Naqu City also adopts the same structure as other Han cities, that is, the inner city rammed earth, and the bluestone is underlaid, but its outer wall, in order to be solid, is all made of hard cyan strip stones, first paste a layer inside, and then build green bricks outside, that is to say, this Naqu City, which is equivalent to a two-layer exterior wall structure, such a structure can be more solid than the blue brick method of only one layer like Lushun City.

In addition, this curved city is also specially designed as a thick and thin mode under the city wall, and the entire wall is slightly inclined, so that the iron bullet of the shelling can not be well frontal, and to a considerable extent, the damage to the city wall is reduced. In addition, reinforcement methods such as protruding forward horse faces are also all used. Therefore, the defense of the entire city is much stronger than that of ordinary Han cities.

After Liu Wenxiu's order was issued, the Tang army fired volleys one after another, and after 7 rounds of salvos, and after continuing to fire 5 rounds, it finally reached the limit of one firing of the dragon cannon, 12 times.

The entire northern city wall is becoming more and more damaged, the appearance is hideous, and the collapse and leakage of the corners can be seen everywhere, but it is still barely supported and has not collapsed.

At this time, the dragon cannon in the Tang army's formation was red on the door gun, and the barrel of each dragon cannon was red and gorgeous, with a strange beauty. When the gunners wiped it with a damp cloth, a large cloud of water mist, mixed with the choking smell of gunpowder, rose into the air with a snort, choking the gunners and coughing repeatedly.

Coach Liu Wenxiu, seeing that the artillery had finally been fired in the 12 rounds, was on the verge of exploding, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

It's a pity!

It should only be a few rounds of salvo fire, and it should be able to completely collapse the curved city wall, but I didn't expect that now that the artillery has reached the limit of one shot, this curved city wall can still survive, and it is beyond my own expectations.

So what do you do next?

According to previous tests, the return time of the dragon striker is about four hours, which means that it may not be used until it is almost dark.

Of course, Liu Wenxiu also had another choice, that is, to order his soldiers to forcibly attack the city, fight for the city wall with the enemy army in the city, and fight to the death.

But Liu Wenxiu didn't want to do that.

Because, quite simply, when firearms can blast through the city walls, it is really foolish to waste the lives of his soldiers in vain.

What's more, Liu Wenxiu believed that as long as the city wall was broken, the enemy's garrison in the city would become useless, and the Tang army was absolutely capable of completely defeating the defenders in the city in street battles.

After analyzing it like this, it is the best choice to stay for a while, even if it is until tomorrow, as long as you can wait until the artillery can be used again.

"Pass on our military order, the whole army will continue to besiege the city, wait for the artillery to recover, attack the city again, and be sure to break through the right wall on the north side of this Naqu city in one fell swoop!"

"Order!"
