"Poof......

After repeated setbacks and non-stop hard work for several days, Gar Qinling was already exhausted, and then he was hit by the rapid loss of Funiuchuan, and under the internal fire, his body was completely unable to bear it, only feeling that his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of blood was spurting out uncontrollably, and his burly body shook, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Big Phase, Big Phase, You ......"

As soon as he saw that Gar Qinling vomited blood, the person who came to report the matter was anxious, and he couldn't care much, so he jumped up, grabbed Gar Qinling's crumbling body, and called out anxiously.

"It's okay, it's okay, go, it's rumored that the generals of all departments will come here immediately, go quickly!"

Gar Qinling first waved his hand to stop the call of the herald horse, then wiped the bloody corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, shook his head vigorously, gasped a few times, barely stabilized his mind, and some of them weakly gave the order to gather the generals.

"Ah......, No!"

Bao Ma looked at Gar Qinling worriedly, and was about to give another advice, but saw that Gar Qinling's brows were already furrowed unhappily, and he didn't dare to say more, so he could only hurry up and answer the promise, and went to beat the drum and gather without mentioning it.

"Alas......"

After reporting the horse, Gar Qinling did not sit down again, but stood there for a long time, and at the end, he shook his head with a bitter face, let out a long sigh, and strode towards the front hall......

Fu Qi City, the original Tuyuhun King is located, Longshuo three years (AD 663), Tubo extinguishes Tuyuhun, still use this city as the military and political center to rule the whole Tuyuhun, its city is divided into inside and outside, the outer city is about five zhang high, the four sides are more than three miles long, the whole city is square, it is a typical Han Dynasty city system, there is a river in the north called Caiji, go around its north, the remaining three sides are all endless prairies, more than 100 miles, until it is blocked by the mountains, the terrain is flat, conducive to shepherding, but there is no danger to defend.

Militarily speaking, the garrison in the city of Fu Qi is a move to fall into the place of death, not the way of war, but then again, as far as the land of Tuyuhun is concerned, it is really difficult to find the place where there is a way to resist the enemy and have enough food and heavy baggage, especially in such a series of defeats, if you want to find a more suitable place than Fu Qi City in a hurry, it is also unlikely, after all, as the military and political center of Tuyuhun, Fu Qi City is not only from the city defense fortifications but also the reserves of grain and heavy loads, It is already the best place of resistance that the Tubo army can find at the moment, of course, this best is just relatively speaking, it may be so for the Tubo people, but in Li Xian's view, it is really not worth mentioning, although it is difficult to break the city, but it is not big, therefore, after capturing the Funiu River, Li Xian did not advance lightly, but did not slowly push the troops forward, and when he arrived at the city, he did not rush to launch a battle to charge the city, but set up a large camp three miles away from the city, and there was a steady and steady posture.

"Woo, woo, woo......"

** do not take the initiative to attack, the Tibetan army did not dare to act rashly, the night passed so calmly, when the first rays of sunlight in the morning pierced the darkness before dawn, a tight horn sounded in the ** camp suddenly sounded, the camp that was originally still quiet was boiling, not a few moments, a team of officers and soldiers lined up in a neat queue slowly walked out of the camp, towards the city of Fu Ping.

"The Tang thief is here, the Tang thief is here!"

**The momentum of the big move can be described as huge, the sentries on the head of the city can not be seen, with the roar of the alarm, the Tubo army all over the city is panicked, a team of soldiers rushed to the city one after another, swords and guns together, vigilantly looking at the approaching Tang Dynasty, a sense of tension about the coming war is suffocating.

"San Lang, take your people up and open the city gate for Lone!"

The army marched in a roundabout way, and after a short time, the formation was already lined up at a distance of four hundred paces under the city, and Li Xian didn't talk nonsense, and gave the order to attack straightforwardly.

"No!"

Xiao Sanlang had already known the overall battle plan from the pre-war military meeting, and as soon as he heard Li Xian's name first, he would not feel very surprised, so he hurriedly responded to the promise, and rushed back to his own formation, and after an order, the first brigade, which had already been prepared, began to move forward.

"Order, all the troops are on standby, and they are not allowed to approach the city wall without permission!"

As soon as he saw that ** was indeed the first brigade to attack, Gar Qinling's face couldn't help twitching slightly, but he didn't mess up at all, he just drank with a gloomy face, and there was no other words.

"Fire!"

There was silence at the head of the city, not only did they not shoot arrows to attack, but even the dozen or so large city crossbows on the head of the city remained silent, and thousands of defenders watched quietly as the artillery battalion of the first brigade was busy at a distance of 100 steps from the city, but Su Qingsheng obviously did not intend to lead the Tubo army, as soon as the artillery was erected, he immediately ran to Xiao Sanlang to ask for instructions, and after getting permission, he unceremoniously issued an order to attack.

"Boom, boom......"

With the issuance of the order, a group of gunners who had been on call for a long time did not dare to delay a little, and lit the fuse with the fire rope, but in the loud roar, the smoke of gunpowder billowed up, and the eighteen infantry guns took the lead in firing, and eighteen shells weighing more than ten catties roared and smashed on the city, but the results that the artillerymen were looking forward to did not appear - except for two of the eighteen shells that hit the wall, three flew over the head and fell on the open space in the city, and the remaining thirteen were all in the middle of the city. But except for the three jumping and rolling shells that killed and injured a few unlucky Tibetan defenders, the rest of the shells were like mud cows entering the sea, and not even the waves splashed.

"Boom, boom!"

The infantry cannon was just fired, the heavy artillery also fired, two huge cannonballs roared sharply in the air to draw a smooth curve, one was in the middle of the city gate, the other smashed heavily on the wall not far from the door, but the result was not satisfactory, the one that hit the wall was just down, only a not small hole was blown up in the wall, but the one that hit the city gate although it broke through the city gate, but did not see the scene of debris flying in the air, but made a muffled loud noise, and then there was no sound.

"Damn, I still don't believe it, come again!"

Su Qingsheng has been an unswerving artilleryman since he first saw artillery, and in his opinion, there is no target that artillery cannot break.

Well? Wrong! Not only Su Qingsheng was puzzled by the results of the salvo, but Li Xian, who was watching the battle in this formation, was also suspicious, so he raised his eyebrows, took out the monocular hanging from his waist, and looked at the city to observe it carefully. It can also be seen that the city is covered with wool, cowhide and other cushioning materials that are both wet and dry, which also effectively slows down the impact of the cannonballs.

Sure enough, he is worthy of being the god of the Tibetan army, and he can find the right way to deal with it in such a short time, and there is no void under the real reputation, but unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time! Thinking of Gar Qinling's ability, even as an opponent, Li Xian couldn't help but praise it in his heart, but praise is praise, but Li Xian didn't plan to let him live, this found out the truth, Li Xian no longer hesitated, and hung the monocular back on his waist, and the back was solemn, and ordered in a cold voice: "Order: The artillery battalion advances thirty paces, the infantry artillery focuses on bombarding the enemy's city crossbow, the heavy artillery is not allowed to stop, bombard the city gate with all its might, and all departments of the First Brigade are responsible for covering!" ”

"First Brigade, forward!"

Two rounds of attacks in a row did not achieve great results, Xiao Sanlang inevitably made a muttering in his heart, and when he was thinking about countermeasures, he got the order sent by the heralds, and he didn't dare to slack off a little, as soon as he raised his hand, he gave an order, and even when he heard the sound of the drums, the whole army of the First Brigade began to move forward.

"Herald: Defend the City Crossbow Attack!"

The First Brigade had just pressed forward, and Gar Qinling immediately gave the order to attack without hesitation.

"Bang, bang......"

The crossbowmen who had been prepared for a long time did not dare to delay a little, and they all pulled the thick rope tied to the trigger of the crossbow defending the city, but when they heard a tight sound of machine springs, more than a dozen huge steel arrows whistled and smashed towards the officers and soldiers of the first brigade in the march, although most of the accurate heads were choked enough, but there were still three crossbow arrows that hit the marching queue of the second regiment, and in the midst of the miserable howl, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and more than a dozen officers and soldiers were torn to pieces on the spot, and more than a dozen people were seriously injured and fell to the ground.

"All regiments are free to fire and suppress the fire at the head of the city!"

As soon as he saw that the city-guarding crossbow at the head of the city had been activated, Xiao Sanlang's face immediately became gloomy, and Tie Qing roared with a blue face.

"Bah, Bah......"

The death and wounding of the comrades-in-arms have already made all the officers and soldiers anxious, but they have not been given the order, and they dare not move, at this time Xiao Saburo has already given the order, the officers and soldiers of the regiment will not be very polite at all, they have advanced forward, while firing and shooting, the dense rain of bullets instantly shot down a large number of Tubo soldiers who were busy around the more than a dozen crossbows guarding the city, but this group of Tubo troops are obviously dead, despite the heavy casualties, but they have always refused to stop the loading work, one fell and someone rushed out from the side, rushing forward and then busy, Stunned, he braved the strong firepower of the first brigade, loaded the crossbow to defend the city, and launched a confrontation with the first brigade without showing weakness......
