Chapter 478: Siege under the city

Shelong didn't know the current situation of the Yunnan tribes, but now, he believed in Xiao Yu more, so the direction he walked was Yizhou, and in Yizhou City, Xiao Yu, who had just received the battle report from Yunnan, was very depressed.

The Tang army, which has crossbows, iron armor, and steel-level swords, even if it encountered various ambushes and sneak attacks from the Yunnan tribes, it also fought back all the way to the Mengshezhao garrison with little loss, and simply, with the help of 10,000 Tang troops, Mengshezhao did not suffer the devastating blow of the allied forces, at least seventy or eighty percent of the young and strong survived.

And in the land of Yunnan, Wang Hao, who already has a high reputation, gave Chai Shao some strategies, and did not know that Wang Hao was the Chai Shao who operated the rebellion of the Southern Barbarian tribes according to the plan, and attacked several times, all of which won a complete victory, killing more than 70,000 enemies, and for a while, the leaders of the tribes were frightened and began to avoid the Tang army, however, Wang Hao still has a follow-up plan to deal with them, once these plans are achieved, the Tang army wants to rule Yunnan, and the barbarian tribes here must be killed, because, with a lot of blood feuds, they will no longer be able to have a heart with the Tang Dynasty.

Xiao Yu only hated the information asymmetry between himself and Chai Shao, and couldn't stop Chai Shao from obeying Wang Hao's plan and killing people in Yunnan, but he didn't know that Wang Hao sent someone to intercept the messenger he sent on the road early in the morning, and the reason why he was able to receive Chai Shao's letter was because Chai Shao had a carrier pigeon raised in Shu, Wang Hao's people couldn't intercept and kill at all, and they didn't need to intercept and kill, anyway, Chai Shao unilaterally reported to Xiao Yu that it had no impact on the overall situation.

Whether Shelong can stop Wang Hao's series of actions depends on whether his feet are fast enough, no matter whether his feet are fast enough or not, Lu Dongzan's feet are fast enough anyway, when the morning sun is about to completely dispel the morning fog, Lu Dongzan led more than 200,000 Tubo troops to arrive outside the Yanping Gate of Chang'an City.

The city gate was closed, but at the head of the city, the eldest grandson empress in a ceremonial dress stood in the center of the city tower, looking down on the Tubo army, and the civil and military officials of the Li Tang court were lined up on her left and right.

In order to let the people of the Tang Kingdom see the majesty and majesty of his Tubo army, Lu Dongzan waved his hand and asked all the cavalry to line up in a phalanx, so that as many soldiers as possible could show their faces in front of the hundred officials of the Tang Dynasty.

As everyone knows, his move not only made the Tang Army's military plan more convenient to implement, but also made the officials of the Tang Dynasty see a joke.

Through several military parades, the officials of the Tang Dynasty have already seen the military appearance and equipment that are ten times and a hundred times stronger than the Tubo cavalry, and those Tubo cavalry wearing tattered sheepskin jackets as armor cannot be compared with the momentum of the Tang army with full body iron armor, as well as those weapons that are more than a foot long and have ugly handles, which are not called weapons at all in the eyes of the hundred officials, and it is estimated that they cannot withstand the light knock of the Tang army's war knife.

It is not unreasonable that they have been defeated in several major wars by the Tang Army, which is less than half of them, in addition to being physically strong, they are weaker than the previous Turks in all aspects, that is, relying on population advantages, they can fight all the party departments, Tuyuhun, and many small countries in the Western Regions.

"Play, welcome music······"

After the officials of the Ministry of Rites stood in a row and shouted in unison, the art troupe, which had already lined up on the city wall, began to play the "March of Joy" under the command of Yu Xiu'er.

Not to mention, Lu Dongzan, who had never heard such a huge band playing, suddenly heard this majestic music, and a lot of curiosity rose in his heart, and he listened to it for five or six minutes unconsciously, he didn't know that this music could be played repeatedly, and people who heard it for the first time would know that this piece was being played repeatedly unless they heard it and were familiar with its rhythm.

Not only Lu Dongzan in the front row, but almost all the Tubo cavalry who could hear the sound of music on the city wall were attracted by this strange music, but Wang Lin, a little impatiently clenched the war knife at his waist, he now thought in his heart, this music will be played quickly, as long as the eldest grandson queen is out of the city, he will suddenly attack, of course, Lu Dongzan also has this mind, but he wants to arrest people, and Wang Lin wants to kill people.

After seven or eight minutes, the music finally stopped, and at this time, there was almost no pause, and the official of the Ministry of Rites shouted again, "Play, courtesy music······

Tang Guo is doing things according to the charter submitted before, and Lu Dongzan doesn't say much, even if he does, the people in the city may not hear it, because after shouting, thousands of musicians will immediately start playing music, which can prevent people in the city from shouting and communicating with people in the city.

This time, another seven or eight minutes passed.

Sun Xiangfu on the head of the city looked a little nervously in the direction of both sides of the city wall, in fact, at this time, on the horizon of the left and right wings, he had already seen a crowd of people who looked like ants wriggling, but the sound of music was too loud, and the attention of these Tubo people was attracted, in addition, their eyes were not as wide as on the city wall, and they had not yet noticed it.

"Performance, ceremonial music······"

Well, it's finally the last piece of music, and this piece of music, very pleasant, is a variation of the climax of a very famous piece of music "The Divine Thoughts of the Forbidden City" in later generations, the first time I heard this music, the Tang Dynasty officials will praise it as the fairy music of the world, the sacred, heavy, pleasant feeling, the performance to the extreme, after it was rehearsed, it was immediately designated by Li Shimin as the ceremonial music of the Tang Dynasty, many ministers, usually look forward to holding some ceremonies, so, They can listen to this melodious piece of music again.

The reason why Sun Xiangfu brought out this music was also because he liked it, and in later generations, for a long time, his mobile phone ringtone was this tune.

Then, Lu Dongzan, who heard this beautiful music for the first time, was unexpectedly attracted by the music again, not to mention him, in the Central Plains, Wang Lin, who grew up listening to all kinds of silk music, was also moved by the sound of those violin golden cymbals and drums on the city wall, and for a while, there was a feeling that he was afraid that others would interrupt the music.

This piece can also be played from high to bottom, from low to high, and has been repeated many times, once for nearly five minutes, twice, for ten minutes, three times······

When it came to the third time, there was a big commotion on both wings of the Tubo cavalry, because the distance between those board carts was only a few hundred steps away from them, and because the arrangement of the Tubo cavalry was relatively compact, the circle they surrounded was much smaller than expected, originally, more than 30,000 board carts, which could only be surrounded by one circle, and now, directly surrounded by two circles.

"The whole army erected a shield to protect the queen mother from the evacuation ······"

The shouts of Dugu Mou and Chang He suddenly sounded at the head of the city, and the soldiers who had been hiding under the battlements all raised their big shields, covering the front and top of the heads of the Empress Changsun and the courtiers, and pulled them towards both sides of the city wall, or the section of the city wall outside the Tubo cavalry array.

And the workers, peasants and soldiers pushing carts outside the city are also making the final sprint.

"Quick, ignition, put the handlebar into the hole in the rear of the car, the front seat people come to the back row to help push the car, and the front of the car is ······ together"

Tang Jun's sudden outburst made Lu Dongzan and Wang Lin, who were still immersed in music a moment ago, fantasize about how to arrest people or how to kill people, and they were completely confused.

More than 200,000 of them were actually surrounded by the Tang army under the city, and the number of the Tang army was ······

When Lu Dongzan and Wang Lin's eyes swept around, they were even more confused, this number of people is simply incalculable, such a close formation, actually lined up for dozens of miles, and surrounded them on all three sides, how many people are there?

A million people?

More than.

More than two million people.

Just looking at those who wear iron-armored carts, as well as those who hold spears and heavy shields, there are hundreds of thousands, and there are so many troops in Chang'an in Datang?

Lu Dongzan only felt that the world was spinning, and at this moment, what he wanted to do most was to draw his knife and hack Wang Lin to death.

"It's you, it must be you, and Li Tang set up such a big plan to trick me into Tibet."

Lu Dongzan really drew his sword, and Wang Lin also drew his sword to defend, but the mounts of the two were more than a meter apart, but they couldn't directly cut each other.

"If I had a plan, would I have trapped myself here? Take a closer look at the people who surround us! Many of them are women, and these people are clearly the people of Guanzhong, so don't be frightened by them, the army of Tubo can't even break through the team composed of ordinary people in Li Tang, and what are you talking about breaking through Chang'an and competing with Li Tang. ”

The war broke out suddenly, Wang Lin's heart would be extremely excited because of this, at this moment, he didn't feel the power of those arrays, because the firewood on the cart had not yet been ignited, and it burned to the fullest.

Before each formation, according to the steps of the drill, a soldier commanded every ten carts, and shouted, "Pass the grass up, pour oil and alcohol, burn the fire, and push the front of the cart a little more until it can't be pushed anymore······

"Quick, pile driving to fix the car, our position, we can already hit them······"

The workers, peasants and soldiers under the city were nervously completing the last step of the formation, and when all the irrelevant personnel had been withdrawn from the city wall, one by one the crossbow cars, bed ballista cars, and catapults were pushed up the city wall on the temporary wooden slope passage, in order to ensure the lethality, the defensive chariots that were originally arranged in the other gates of Chang'an, and even the walls of the imperial city, were pushed to the side of Yanping Gate.

"Kill ····· Out"

Lu Dongzan was not stupid, he quickly listened to Wang Lin's explanation, and saw his current situation clearly, don't think about attacking the city, it is already a great luck to be able to kill it.

"They are coming, piling people, come back behind the shield array, crossbowmen, pull the trigger and release arrows, suppress them, don't be afraid, the fire on the car is already burning, and their war horses can't cross at all······"

The advantage of the crossbow is that the arrows can be poured out like rain, and with their launch, the screams of the Tibetan cavalry also sounded.

"Catapult, ······"

"Bed Ballista, ······"

"Ballista, release ······"

Not only on the city wall, but also on the opposite side of the city wall, on the back road of the Tibetan army, in the military formation of 3,000 chariots, all kinds of chariots and crossbow arrows were also launched with full firepower.

Suddenly, the periphery of the entire encirclement became a death vacuum, and all the Tubo cavalry who tried to rush out were killed under the blows of various long-range weapons, because the base of the workers, peasants and soldiers was too large, and the Tubo cavalry was too dense, so in an instant, the casualties caused were very terrifying, and Lu Dongzan's face was frightened.

The most terrible thing is that when their cavalry did not get close to the burning carts, they felt the rolling heat, and the war horses did not dare to rush into the raging fire.

"It's over, it's over, it's over······"

The arrangement of the Tang Army did not even give him a desperate chance, which was a complete massacre.

"After this war, it will be difficult for Tibet to pose a threat to our Tang border."

The ministers, who were standing far away by the city wall and holding binoculars to watch the excitement, showed a reassuring smile when they saw the scene under the city.
