Chapter 572: The End of the Hero (7)
"Woo, woo, woo......"
Gar Qinling was obviously happy too early, just when the ** cavalry will pursue to the front of the first horizontal street, a terrible horn sound in the direction of the city gate suddenly sounded, and the Tang cavalry, who were originally rushing wildly, reined in the war horses under their crotches and withdrew to the starting position in an orderly manner, at the same time, the officers and soldiers of the first and second regiments of the first brigade were stepping forward, and set up a neat square in front of the cavalry, across the entire street, and nearly 2,000 guns with black holes pointed straight ahead.
"Damn it!"
Gar Qinling made a thousand calculations, but he didn't expect that ** would come to such a hand, seeing that the Tang cavalry that had already taken the bait slipped back like this, the anger in his heart was needless to say, he cursed angrily, his face changed constantly, but in the end, he still never ordered the whole army to attack, in addition to being afraid of the firepower of the ** first brigade, he also inevitably had some luck.
"Boom, boom......"
Facts have proved that luck is never a good idea, and while Gar Qinling was hesitating, the officers and men of the artillery battalion, with the assistance of the rest of the infantry soldiers, had erected 12 of the 18 infantry guns on the city wall, and once the adjustment was completed, they immediately unceremoniously fired a salvo into the city, and regardless of whether there were people in those houses, they bombarded them from near and far in turn, so that they hid in the courtyard about 300 paces away from the city gate and planned to sneak attack** The Tibetan officers and soldiers fell into blood mold, and after counting the casualties, they all fled from the house in a panic and ran all over the streets.
"Drop the flag, attack, the whole army attack!"
As soon as he saw the ** artillery power again, Gar Qinling's heart was half cold, and he didn't know what the range of the ** artillery was, so he was afraid that the ** artillery would bombard all the way down, so he dared to hesitate anymore and gave the order to attack with a roar.
The original plan of the Tubo army was to prepare to fight street battles with **, therefore, most of the elite troops were placed in the dark places of the horizontal streets and the hidden places of the mansions, the speed of the attack was very fast, the red flag on the top of the inner city gate tower just fell, and the Tubo army was already shouting and rushing out of the ambush, like a raging wave along the long street to the ** at the city gate.
"Boom, boom......"
In the face of the surging Tubo army, the officers and soldiers of the first brigade did not have the slightest fear, nor did they rush to fire, but calmly held the needle rifle flat, maintaining a posture that could fire at any time, but the six infantry guns arranged in front of the formation were not the slightest politeness at all, with the battalion commander Su Qingsheng ordering, they fired in turn unhurriedly, and smashed six huge shells into the Tubo army rushing along the street, and the bouncing shells instantly smashed out a bloody road in the Tubo army formation, which was not the end. The six cannons on the street had just finished performing, and the twelve cannons on the city had also begun to speak, and only one bombardment came down, and the Tubo soldiers who died on the spot were as many as hundreds, and the streets in the distance were scattered with corpses, and the flesh and blood were blurred, which was really as terrifying as the Rakshasa hell.
"Rush, rush up, kill all the Tang thieves, don't stop, rush quickly!"
After this artillery bombardment, the momentum of the Tubo army's charge couldn't help but be suffocated, and the formation was scattered, but the generals such as Su Hulong, Midi Mizan and other generals didn't care about the life or death of the forward soldiers, and desperately drove their subordinates to rush forward, trying to take advantage of the gap in the ** artillery loading to kill into the ** array.
"The first regiment is in a kneeling position, the second regiment is standing, and fire!"
Seeing that the Tubo army was still rushing wildly, Liu Ziming, the deputy brigade commander who had rushed to the city, was happy, waved his hand unceremoniously, and broke his throat loudly, and then saw that the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade, who had been waiting for a long time, began to shoot according to the tactical drill, and the gunfire exploded like fried beans, and the barrage attack formed by countless bullets seemed to have no gap, and instantly shot down a large piece of the Tubo army that had rushed to within eighty steps, and the layers of corpses were piled up on the street like a hill without spinning. All the Tibetan officers and soldiers who tried to cross the blockade line died tragically on the spot without any suspense.
It's chaotic, it's completely chaotic, in the face of the terrifying life harvester of the ** First Brigade, the combat courage that the Tubo army finally mustered up has completely turned into a cloud of smoke, how can it be willing to go forward to die, all of them turned their heads and fled in the direction of the inner city regardless of it, no matter how the generals of the troops stopped, they couldn't reverse the situation of such defeats, and even more things that broke the hearts of the Tubo army followed- The remnants of more than 1,800 infantry troops under Lin Chengbin, who had been on the city wall earlier, took advantage of the chaos of the first attack of the Tubo army and rushed to the south gate along the city wall, killing all the Tubo soldiers guarding the south gate in one fell swoop. It was completely in a state of collapse, and the city was full of stragglers scurrying around like headless flies.
Escape? The west and north gates have been sealed, and the east and south gates are all in the hands of **, no matter how long the legs and horses of the Tubo army are, there is nowhere to escape, hide? In such a big place as Fu Qi City, no matter how to hide, where can you hide, with the main force of the first city into the city to encircle and suppress, the scattered rout soldiers are either killed in battle or surrendered, and the battle to Shen Shi Zhengpai, the entire Fu Qi City in addition to the inner city, has completely fallen into the hands of **, tens of thousands of soldiers will besiege the small inner city, but they did not launch a rapid attack, but quietly waited for the arrival of the coach Li Xian.
The autumn sun is not very bright, and the sunset that is about to set at this time is not very hot, although the sun is still bright, but it is powerless to drive away the chill of the north wind howling, the wind gradually increases, the chill is getting thicker and thicker, and a bleak breath is hovering in the city gate tower, just like the mood of Gar Qinling at the moment!
What do you think? In fact, he didn't think about anything, although Gar Qinling looked at the sunset gradually slanting westward with a pair of eyes, as if he was very involved, but in fact, at this time, his mind was just a blank, and even victory or defeat and life and death were no longer in his consideration, just because of such a field now, defeat is already a doomed thing, even if there are nearly 10,000 elite soldiers in the inner city, but what can it be? No matter how much he does, it is just a dying struggle, and then how to think about how to defend can be meaningful, as for life and death, Gar Qinling is already completely downplayed, so he stands thoughtlessly in the wind, with only one purpose, that is, to enjoy the last moment of tranquility in life.
"Your Highness has arrived! Your Highness drove to ......"
Gar Qinling's enjoyment did not last long, a burst of shouts from far and near sounded, Li Xian, surrounded by a group of guards, rode slowly to the inner city, Gar Qinling, who had been awakened, took a step forward, leaned out from behind the city plate, and looked at Li Xian under the city fearlessly, although he did not speak, but a serene smile appeared on his haggard face.
Oh, we still have to fight after all! As soon as he saw the look on Gar Qinling's face, Li Xian immediately guessed the other party's intentions, but he didn't take it to heart, so he rode his horse and walked slowly to the city, and arched his hand towards Gar Qinling very politely: "Great minister, please." ”
"Your Highness is gracious."
Li Xian was polite, and Gar Qinling was also very polite, returned the salute with a smile on his face, and simply greeted him.
"Do you still want to fight?"
Looking at the old opponent in front of him who had been entangled with him for several years, Li Xian couldn't help but feel a burst of pity in his heart, but he didn't bring it to his face, he just asked indifferently.
"Your Highness, please!"
Gar Qinling didn't say much, but nodded lightly and gave a concise answer.
"Okay, Lone will give Daxiang a chance to be glorified."
Li Xian took a deep look at the old opponent in the city, his face twitched slightly, and he said indifferently and then rode back to his own position.
"Thank you!"
Gar Qinling did not move again, nor did he speak again, but silently thanked in his heart, looked up at the sunset for the last time, and then turned his head and resolutely turned away from the city.
"Let's get started!"
After riding the horse back to the main formation, Li Xian did not explain to the generals, let alone the slightest nonsense, but just waved his hand expressionlessly and gave the order for a general attack.
"Boom, boom!"
As soon as Li Xian's order was given, the two heavy cannons immediately opened fire, and the huge cannonballs crashed into the inner city gate with a roar, instantly smashing the inner city gate into flying fragments, and the debris that was hastily piled up behind it could not withstand the close-range bombardment of the heavy artillery, and also turned into garbage.
"Boom, boom......"
Although the city gate has been opened, but ** did not enter the city, but still stood still in place, so as to watch the eighteen infantry guns in turn, but see the eighteen cannons fired one after another like ploughing from the city gate tower, gradually extending to the depths, but seeing the gravel splashing, the sound of miserable howls one after another sounded one after another, the poor inner city is not big, nearly 10,000 soldiers are hiding in it, and they are attacked by several rounds of artillery fire, that is, there is nowhere to escape, and the battle has not yet started, and the morale has completely collapsed.
"The whole army assaulted, rushed out, and killed the Tang thief!"
Just when the Tibetan army was in chaos, he saw Gar Qinling, who was dressed in bright armor, leading his guards to brave the first artillery fire and march out from the depths of the inner city, waving a horizontal knife in his hand, and let out a high-pitched roar, and rushed out of the broken city gate along the avenue of the inner city, and launched a fierce and unusual wild assault towards the ** position without hesitation......
