Chapter 483: A Great Victory
The gunpowder buried by the Tang army in Qingtang City exploded, almost killing all the Tibetan troops in Qingtang City.
And Qingtang City was also completely wiped out in this explosion, except for the relatively strong city wall on the ground, almost all the buildings were in ruins, and when Zhang Yi and they came out of the ground, they couldn't even see a complete wall on the ground.
But none of this is their business, their next step is to send those Tubo soldiers who were not killed by the bombing to the side of the Tubo soldiers who have just been bombed into the sky.
And before the explosion just now, the main general of Tubo was really ready to enter the city with a few close generals, after all, now that they have occupied Qingtang City, it is time for him to go in and make arrangements.
But just as he was about to enter the city gate, a loud noise sounded, and the war horse under the seat turned around and ran away regardless of it, and it was useless to pull it.
Not only him, but the war horses of the generals around him also behaved in the same way.
And when they stopped, they found that the entire Qingtang City had changed.
"What's going on?"
Some Tibetan generals could not accept the changes in front of them, and the entire Qingtang City was covered in black smoke, and the entire Qingtang City was shrouded in black smoke and dust.
This is the case, and only heavenly punishment can occur in this case.
And Qingtang City, which was originally full of people, immediately became quiet after this loud noise.
"General, what should we do now?"
At this time, everyone was shocked and uncertain, and they all looked at the main general of Tubo.
They were the ones who shouted and shouted the most just now, and now when they encountered a little situation, they immediately shrank their heads.
However, the chief general of Tubo has no time to care about these now, originally Qingtang City was quite quiet, but suddenly, the shouting and killing were loud, and from the accent, it should be the voice of the Tang soldiers.
"Retreat first, retreat to the higher ground behind, and see what we are going to do next."
As he spoke, the Tibetan lord took the lead in reining in his horse and retreating, and now there were less than a thousand Tibetan soldiers following them.
The Tibetan lord will take the remaining Tibetan soldiers to the high ground behind him to wait for the situation in the city, while the Tang soldiers in the city began to carry out a carpet sweep.
There is no way, the power of those gunpowders is too great, and the quantity they bring is also very large, and the more doses, the power is naturally doubled.
Now the entire Qingtang City is in ruins, and most of the Tubo soldiers who were originally in Qingtang City have also disappeared at this time.
Of the nearly 100,000 Tibetan soldiers, there were not even a few corpses at this time.
And occasionally there are some lucky people who can just hide under the strong wall and save their lives, but they can't escape the capture of the Tang army.
It can be said that there are still thousands, or even nearly 10,000 Tubo soldiers left in Qingtang City, but these Tubo soldiers no longer have any will to resist.
They're already scared stupid.
Now even if you shout in their ears, they won't react, one is deafened by the violent bombardment, and the other is a nervous breakdown.
The power of these gunpowders can be terrifying.
Even after Zhang Yi came to the land, he couldn't help but admire this scene when he saw it.
The thermal weapon is really powerful, if their Tang Army can use this technology in the future in the war, then they still need to be afraid of foreign intrusion, and it would be good not to bully others when the time comes.
And now is not the time to think about those things, at this time, he should urge Tang Jun to deal with all these things in Qingtang City as soon as possible.
After finishing Qingtang City, they still have to go out to pursue the remaining Tubo soldiers, and the Tubo people must not have all entered Qingtang City just now.
It was customary for them to leave their camp and the army guarding it until they had taken a city completely.
And now Zhang Yi and they have to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, as long as they wipe out the two main forces of Tubo in a row, then Tubo will not be able to make any waves.
There are so many soldiers in the whole country of Tubo, and in this short period of time, they killed more than 100,000 people, and they directly gave them a big loss of vitality, at least within ten years, Tubo could not gather a large-scale army to provoke the Tang Dynasty again.
And ten years later, it is not Zhang Yi's concern, he just wants to cripple Tubo as soon as possible now, and then rush back to Chang'an as soon as possible.
And ten years later, even if Tubo wants to take revenge, but at that time, the Tang Dynasty has entered the prosperous era of Zhenguan, not to mention a Tubo, even if the Tubo and the Turks rebel together, the Tang Dynasty army will be able to kneel them in minutes.
At that time, the Tang army was very terrifying, and it was a rare force in the whole world.
And there were not many Tubo soldiers left in Qingtang City, and almost all of them were scared stupid, so it didn't take long for the Tang army to clean up the entire Qingtang City.
And the crossbow archers and archers who had been lying in ambush before were confused at this time.
They are not needed at all, the power of these gunpowder is too great, those Tubo people are either dead or injured, and they are so frightened that they simply forget to escape, even if they are ambushed, it will not be useful.
However, Qingtang City was quickly completed, and the Tang army soon discovered the team of Tubo soldiers outside Qingtang City.
Wang Zhe said that it was okay, and with a direct wave of his hand, countless Tang cavalry jumped out of the city gate and rushed towards those Tubo soldiers on the high ground.
This time, Wang Zhe directly sent out 10,000 cavalry, and his purpose was not just those Tubo generals.
To tell the truth, the generals of Tubo are far less valuable than the generals of the Tang Dynasty, because in Tubo they are worth a soldier, and in the Tang Dynasty, they are worth a lot.
In Tibet, if there are soldiers, you can become generals, but in the Tang Dynasty, there will be soldiers when you have generals.
And his target was the Tibetan military camp behind the high ground.
Although this time the Tibetan army was almost wiped out, there were still thousands of Tibetan soldiers behind them, and they could not be easily let go.
Tens of thousands of Tang cavalry rushed out of the city to solve the remaining problems outside the city, and the remaining Tang soldiers were to clean up Qingtang City.
Although they erased Qingtang City from the map this time, the remaining ruins also need to be cleaned up.
In any case, the Tibetan Plateau is also the birthplace of many water systems in the Central Plains, and they will never be sloppy in this regard.
On the high ground, when the Tubo soldiers saw the cavalry of the Tang Army rushing towards them from Qingtang City, they were so frightened that they rode their horses and galloped towards their camps.
