September 11 of the first year of Yifeng, just after the Double Ninth Festival, the sky is already cold, although it is not enough to breathe into the ice, but the frost has already fallen, the north wind blows, and it adds a little bit of coldness, the patrol posts on the wall of Funiuchuan Pass are better, how much can exercise to get some warmth, but the fixed sentry on the arrow tower on all sides of the ventilation is not so convenient, the skin is purple from the cold, and the skin is purple, so that they can only keep stomping their feet to keep warm, but it really does not play a big role, One by one, they were all extremely angry and cursed their stingy bosses, all of them were waiting for this season, and they didn't give out winter clothes, this is not a pit or something.

“…… Straight mother thief, this day is so cold that I panicked, and I don't give a leather jacket, this broken armor can be a shit, those damn dog thieves are ......, ah, Tang, Tang, Tang ......"

A Tibetan soldier standing on the high arrow tower was so cold that he couldn't stand it, and while stomping his feet, he cursed in pieces, and suddenly out of the corner of his eye, he saw that there seemed to be a situation on the horizon in the distance, and he hurriedly fixed his eyes on the past, his face was instantly pale, his eyes were round, and he stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence.

"Qiangba, you grandson, make a ......, ah, Tang, **, damn it, the Tang thief is here, the Tang thief is here......"

Another soldier on duty saw that his colleague's face was extremely strange, and he couldn't help but scold, curiously followed his line of sight, only to look, his face was also extremely pale in an instant, and after stammering twice, he finally came back to his senses, and he didn't care much, and he shouted wildly at the top of his throat, and in an instant, the wall that was originally in order was completely chaotic.

“…… The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life......"

**It is indeed coming, but the speed of the march is not too fast, all the way to the horse all the way singing, the passionate singing is majestic and high-pitched, the sound is shaking the sky, a force has my invincible spirit has risen up, straight out of the clouds!

Under the successive battles, the morale of the soldiers was high, and Li Xian, who was riding his horse in front of the army, was also in a good mood, not entirely because of the victories one after another, but more because of the tacit cooperation of Gar Qinling that he was very satisfied - Gar Qinling comprehensively reduced his forces and tried to fight a battle to defend the city, Li Xian was happy to see it, not only did not stop the collection of the various Tubo armies, but opened the door for it to be convenient, and reined in the troops at the mouth of the Buha River, allowing the defeated troops of Tubo everywhere to flee to the city. Needless to say, it is necessary to wipe out the Tubo army in the territory of Tuyuhun, this reason is very simple, instead of playing a game of cat and mouse with the Tubo army on the vast prairie, it is better to catch turtles in an urn with a hard encounter, as for Gar Qinling's idea, Li Xian has already known in his heart, and the left and right are just the plot of the hero's end at work, but there is nothing to say.

"The whole army stops and lines up on the spot!"

The army marched in a hurry, although it was not very fast, but it was not slow, but in more than half an hour, it had already entered the Funiuchuan Pass, Li Xian raised his hand, and restrained the soldiers and horses at a distance of 400 steps from the city, and after a terrible trumpet, the whole army of more than 50,000 people set up an attack formation under the pass.

The wall of Funiuchuan was not high, only three zhang high, these ten days, although the Tubo army has been fully strengthened this city, not only the city wall increased to more than five zhang, but also set up on it such as watchtowers, arrow towers and other defensive facilities, and even installed a few crossbows to defend the city, but unfortunately this city defense is still poor and pitiful, not to mention ** disdain, even Gar Qinling himself is not optimistic about this, in addition to arranging for Solunzan, the captain of ten thousand people, with more than 1,000 Tubo people to guard, The rest of the nearly 4,000 people are all miscellaneous soldiers of the Tuyuhun tribes who have gathered in, and the idea is not to defend to the death, but to use the geographical advantage of the wall to consume the best living force as much as possible, as for the life and death of those miscellaneous soldiers of the tribes, Gar Qinling does not care about it.

"Fucking cheer up, prepare for war, prepare for war!"

Sorenzan obviously understood the unspoken meaning of Gar Qinling, when arranging the defense of the city, he did not send all the more than 1,000 guards of his department to the city, but basically placed them behind the city, reserved for reserves, as for the city, all the arrangements are miscellaneous soldiers of various ethnic groups, although the number is quite a lot, full of 3,000 people, but the combat effectiveness, it is not very high, at this time in the face of the army of the Tang Dynasty, all of them trembled and their legs were weak, such a situation of cowardice before the battle came out, When he arrived, Sorenzan saw it in his eyes, anxious in his heart, annoyed, but he had no choice but to force himself to tense his face, raise his voice and roar to cheer for the miscellaneous soldiers.

"Brigade Commander Xiao, give you half an hour to blast open the city gate!"

Li Xian only glanced at the city defense, and he could almost see the reality of the void, and he didn't want to waste more energy here, nor was he too lazy to talk nonsense, so he just waved his hand indifferently and gave the order to attack.

"No!"

Xiao Sanlang was silent, and he just responded neatly to Li Xian's generals, and did not say nonsense such as bold words, but he was not slow to act at all, and as soon as he returned to the headquarters, he immediately ordered the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade to move forward, escorting the artillery battalion to the direction of Guancheng.

"Set up the cannon, hurry, move the fucking fast!"

The war is imminent, the artillery battalion commander Su Qingsheng is very excited, so excited that his black face is flushed, this is not surprising, he has the strongest firepower of the first brigade, but he has not been able to catch up with the previous battles, seeing that the war is coming to an end, but his artillery battalion is still empty-handed, not even gained, has become the laughing stock of the whole brigade, which makes Su Qingsheng, who has always been arrogant, embarrassed, he has already held back enough energy to perform well, this time it is finally his turn to make the artillery battalion powerful, Su Qingsheng couldn't help but be a little too excited, and only then did he get close to the predetermined battle position a hundred steps away from the city, and even before the brigade commander gave the order, he was already shouting, commanding a group of subordinates to unload the cannons from the carriage and assemble them on the spot.

There are not many types of artillery in the artillery battalion, there are only two models, one is a light infantry gun, a total of eighteen, and the other is a siege heavy artillery, there are only two in total, the number is not much, but the bulkiness is amazing, not to mention anything else, even if the light infantry gun is actually not light, even if the gun carriage is not counted, the gun body cast by pig iron is also hundreds of pounds, as for the heavy artillery, it is even more incredible, the whole cannon weighs more than 2,000 catties, and each shell weighs more than 30 catties, The reason why it is so big is not because of the prestige, but because the quality of the molten iron has never been improved, and the quality of the steel has not been able to pass, and the power of the black ** is not too big, all kinds of factors are added together, in order to ensure the power, the weight of the gun can not be reduced.

"Herald: Defend the City Crossbow Attack!"

Although the defenders at the head of the city have heard that the muskets of the first brigade are extremely sharp, but after all, they have not experienced it personally, but they are not very afraid, this time ** did not launch a siege battle, but stopped at a distance of about 100 steps from the city, and they inevitably have some muttering, I don't understand how busy ** is there, even Sorenzan, who has been defeated by the first brigade, can't figure out what those dark big guys are, but he knows that he must not let ** smoothly assemble those black guys, After a slight hesitation, he gritted his teeth and drank in his throat.

"Bang, bang......"

The only four crossbows on the head of the city were fired one after another, and four huge iron arrows roared through the space, and shot at the place where the first brigade was, the strength was not small, and the momentum was also great, but unfortunately the accuracy was extremely poor, and the four giant arrows were all shot into the air, except for shoveling up a large area of soil on the dry grass, even the edge of the first brigade was not touched at all.

"The first regiment, attack close and suppress the firepower of the city!"

The crossbow attack of the Tibetan army failed to achieve the slightest result, but it succeeded in arousing Xiao Sanlang's anger, so he planned to give the defenders at the head of the city some appetizers first.

"No!"

Wan Chenghe, the head of the first regiment, has already been gearing up, this order has been given, how can there be no excitement and abnormal Li'er, hurriedly answered, waved his hand, and shouted the order: "First regiment, forward!" ”

"Knock, knock......"

As soon as Wan Chenghe gave the order, the drummers on both sides of the companies did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and beat the small drums hanging on their chests one after another, and in the sound of the drums, the officers and soldiers of the first regiment, which were divided into three phalanxes, began to move forward.

"Crossbowman, prepare!"

Sorenzan had suffered from the volley of muskets, and when he saw that the first regiment began to press forward, his heart immediately panicked involuntarily, and he shouted at the top of his throat and gave an order, and a group of miscellaneous soldiers did not dare to disobey, they poked their heads out from behind the city saucer, and aimed the strong bows and crossbows in their hands at the officers and soldiers of the first regiment who were slowly pressing forward.

"Stop advancing, all companies fire freely, focus on hitting enemy ballistas!"

The defenders at the head of the city were very well prepared, but unfortunately Wan Chenghe did not plan to give the defenders a chance to perform, the whole regiment only advanced twenty steps before stopping, this position happened to be outside the attack range of the crossbowmen at the head of the city, even if some of the soldiers with high archery skills could shoot arrows here, but it was already the end of the strong crossbow, it was impossible to pose much threat to the officers and soldiers of the first regiment at all, as for the four city crossbows that could attack the first regiment, they were still being loaded at this time, and they would not be able to fire arrows again for a while.

"Bah, ......"

As soon as Wan Chenghe gave the order, the shooting performance of the first regiment began immediately, but seeing the three rows of soldiers in each formation taking turns shooting and reloading, the gunfire instantly exploded like fried beans......
