"Three artillery linkage, target, defend the city crossbow, release!"

Taking advantage of the fierce battle between the officers and men of the First Brigade and the defenders at the head of the city, the officers and men of the artillery battalion quickly advanced more than a dozen artillery pieces to a predetermined position 70 steps away from the city.

"Boom, boom......"

The artillery that was silent for a moment began to fire a salvo again, different from the previous two diffuses, this time the firepower of ** has been concentrated, with three artillery pieces to deal with a city crossbow, one by one, a few rounds of artillery down, the city crossbow on the head of the city has been damaged by most of the damage, and the remaining few doors are not enough to be a big threat, even so, the officers and soldiers of the first brigade did not relax their fire to attack those only remaining ballistas, and the dense rain of bullets was so heavy that the Tubo officers and soldiers could not even raise their heads, let alone operate the ballistas, At this point in the battle, the defenders were completely at a disadvantage, and could only be beaten, but could not fight back.

"Boom, boom!"

Seeing that the Tibetan defenders were no longer able to counterattack, the officers and soldiers of the First Brigade also stopped firing rapidly, leaving only two heavy guns still firing unhurriedly, smashing huge shells into the already broken city gate, almost one foot by one jumping off the sandbags filled in it - although sandbags can effectively slow down the impact of the shells, but after all, they cannot completely eliminate the power of heavy artillery close shooting, less than an hour, the city gate is already a mess, and the thick wooden gate has long ceased to exist. The outermost sandbags have also been shattered, but the three-zhang wide city gate hole seems to be full of sandbags, no matter how powerful the heavy artillery is, there is also a problem of firing angle, after only gnawing off half of the city gate hole, it can no longer move forward, and at this time, the heavy artillery has to stop.

"Mingwu, let the captives step forward and remove the sandbags, tell them that as long as they can remove the sandbags in the city gate, they will be given freedom, and each person will be rewarded with a hundred sheep and a horse, and those who have made great contributions will be rewarded, and if they do not cower, they will be killed on the spot!"

Li Xian had long expected that the heavy artillery would not be able to completely clear the sandbags in the city gate hole, and at this time, seeing that the heavy artillery had really stopped firing, he didn't take it to heart, and beckoned Zhang Mingwu to his side, and ordered with an indifferent expression.

"No!"

Before the heavy artillery was still attacking the city, Li Xian had already sent someone to bring more than 3,000 miscellaneous soldiers captured yesterday, Zhang Mingwu was originally a little unclear about this, but he didn't dare to ask more, at this time listening to Li Xian's words, this suddenly realized, he didn't dare to be a little lazy, and hurriedly answered, and ran to the location of a group of captives, and conveyed Li Xian's order loudly, which caused an uproar among the captives, but under the pressure of the ** horizontal knife bullet, they were all honest soon, whether they were willing or not, They can only act according to the orders of the **.

"Cheng Bin, take your people up, the cavalry is close to cover, the infantry is ready to break into the city at any time, but not deep, be careful of the enemy's ambush, just take the city wall!"

Li Xian didn't care about the prisoners, beckoned, called Lin Chengbin over, and told him carefully.

"No!"

Li Xian's order was obviously conservative, but Lin Chengbin didn't say anything, he simply responded to the promise, and rushed back to the main formation, but listening to the sound of the horn, Lin Chengbin's 5,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry began to move forward, but the speed was not fast, just followed closely behind a large number of prisoners, not like to charge the city, but as if to escort the prisoners.

"Not good! Hurry, concentrate the wooden rolling stones at the city gate tower, and move quickly! ”

** No longer shooting, a group of Tibetan officers and soldiers slowly all poked their heads out from behind the city saucer, this time ** escorting prisoners of war to the city gate, I couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, stunned to understand ** which play this is singing, was in a daze, but saw Gar Qinling's face suddenly changed, exclaimed and gave the general order.

"Cavalry attack!"

As soon as Gar Qinling gave the order, the defenders at the head of the city immediately became busy, running around one by one carrying the rolling stones and sassalwoods that were originally scattered everywhere, and the movement of such chaos fell in the eyes of Lin Chengbin, and he did not dare to take it lightly, so he shouted, and led the cavalry to cross the queue of prisoners of war who were slowly marching, and rushed towards the city gate tower at high speed, at the same time, the officers and soldiers of the first brigade also began to shoot in turn to disrupt the movement of the Tibetan army.

"Run, target the city gate, if there is anyone who dares to disobey the order, kill!"

Zhang Mingwu also discovered the carrying action of the defenders at the head of the city, his eyes rolled slightly, and he had already guessed the plan of the Tubo army, so he didn't dare to delay any longer, he pulled out the horizontal knife on his waist, slashed heavily, and gave an order with a roar.

**The cavalry soon rushed to the city, and the arrows rained down on the city, and with the salvo of the officers and soldiers of the first brigade, the firepower was naturally amazing.

"The whole army listens to the order: at all costs, seal the city gates, life and death are in this battle, and those who dare to retreat will be killed! Those who can't advance, kill! Slow movers, kill! ”

The handling matter can be carried with the help of the cover of the city saucer, but the city can be thrown to the wood rolling stone but have to lean out, in this way, it is bound to become the target of the first fire, which Gar Qinling has seen very thoroughly, at this critical moment, he also does not care about his subordinates, a horizontal knife drawn from his waist, roared and gave a death order, not only that, but also ordered the personal guards to go up to suppress the formation, forcing the defenders at the head of the city to risk death to attack the generals who have rushed to the city gate of a group of prisoners of war.

In the face of the bright scimitars in the hands of the guards, a group of defenders did not dare to resist, so they could only form several queues head-on, and took turns to throw the wooden rolling stones, so that the prisoners of war who rushed to transport sandbags at the city gate were of course unlucky, and from time to time someone was thrown down by the wooden rolling stones thrown on the city or even the corpses of the defenders, and the wailing sounded into a piece, but the defenders at the head of the city did not have a good result, the casualties are incomparable, but the latecomers still dare not retreat, the war has become a war of attrition, the difference is that the ** fight for the lives of the prisoners of war, and the Tubo army is fighting for their own lives, obviously, the pressure is completely on the side of the Tubo army.

The war continued tragically, after more than half an hour of fierce fighting, most of the original 3,000 defenders at the head of the city were killed and wounded, and hundreds of prisoners of war who rushed to transport sandbags under the city also died.

"Boom!"

Just when a group of prisoners of war were cheering because the city gate was about to be opened, they saw that only one or two layers of sandbag walls were suddenly pushed down from the city, and with a loud noise, sand and stones were splashed, and the prisoners of war crowded in the front were caught off guard and crushed into minced meat on the spot.

"Kill, kill all these traitors!"

Without waiting for a group of prisoners of war to come back to their senses, they heard a loud roar suddenly sounded, and then countless Tubo infantry troops with sharp blades had swarmed into the city gate hole, and under the chaotic knife slashing, they killed the prisoners of war and howled wolf, and under the heavy casualties, the survivors all turned their heads and rushed out of the city gate hole regardless of the need, and fled into the distance with a strange scream.

"Infantry attack!"

When Lin Chengbin saw that the situation was not right, he didn't dare to take it lightly, so he shouted loudly and ordered his 3,000-foot army to come forward and attack.

"Follow me and go into the city!"

The main general's order was given, a general of the infantry army holding a Mo knife roared and led his troops to rush to the city gate hole, and in an instant it collided with the Tubo infantry army that burst out from the city gate hole, and a tragic bloody battle began, both sides did not back down, almost all fought with their lives, the sword was bright, the spear was vertical and horizontal, countless lives passed like grass mustard, and the war was in a stalemate for a while.

"Modao team, on!"

This is a battle where both sides have no way to retreat, under the contest of blood and iron, the number of dead and wounded on both sides is increasing sharply, and the city gate is already covered with corpses that have fallen to the ground, and there are several layers of thick accumulation, the scene is really terrifying, seeing that the ** general who has been fighting for a long time and leading the attack is in a hurry, he roared, and threw the trump card in his hand into the flesh and blood battlefield without hesitation.

"Knives! Enter! Chop, turn, ......"

The power of the Mo knife team is naturally extremely strong, but it is not easy to cultivate, the generals of the Tang Dynasty army are generally reluctant to put this strong army into the battlefield at once, and it is often used at the most critical time, obviously, at this time, for the ** of Chongcheng, it is time to have no way back, and can only throw this strong army into the meat grinder-like battle, and the Mo knife team did not disappoint the commander of the Datang infantry army, as the horn sounded, the Mo knife team that had been killed to the forefront of the crowd danced like a wheel to grow up Mo Dao, All the Tibetan officers and soldiers who dared to stand in the way were cut into pieces, but in a moment, they had forcibly penetrated the city gate.

"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, and regardless of the fact that there were still many defeated soldiers of his own side in front of him, Jie Ming Lusong, who was guarding the city gate, roared and ordered the more than 1,000 crossbowmen who had already lined up in the city to gather fire and attack.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

Since the main general had an order, a group of crossbowmen did not dare to delay, and they let go of the hand that pulled the string, but when they heard the sound of the bowstring, a dense rain of arrows like locusts splashed towards the city gate hole, and in an instant, the soldiers of the two armies who were fighting together were all shot miserably, and the ** Mo knife team that had just broken into the city also suffered a heavy loss, and then was rushed by the surging Tubo infantry, and it was unable to stand on its feet, and it was beaten back into the city gate hole......
