Chapter 523: Breaking the Rules
"Boom!" There was a loud bang like thunder, and the place where the Tang army was staying was filled with gunsmoke and dust. Many of the war horses were so frightened that they almost didn't startle; Some of the horses collapsed to the ground in fright, and their feces and urine flowed.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" Before everyone could react, the tower of the city in Tubo had already resounded. Everyone looked up and saw that the flesh and blood were flying everywhere, the smoke was billowing out, and the towers of the majestic and tall Tubo Imperial City were already in a mess.
The Tibetan soldiers immediately bombed the battalion, could no longer control it, and ran around. The Abandoned Sect was already sluggish and muttered, "What's going on? What is this? What kind of weapons did the Don Army use? Is this the wrath of the gods? ”
The Tubo people outside the city were also frightened, and they were secretly glad in their hearts, fortunately they and others had surrendered, and it was impossible for the Tang army, which had been favored by the gods, to be defeated.
Although Niu Jinda has also seen lightning cannons fired, this is the first time it has been used on the battlefield. He was also frightened by the attack power of the lightning cannon, and said to Cheng Zhijie: "King Jun, Cui Jing, how did they come up with this thing?" No wonder you say it will be the king of land warfare; His Majesty even named it a lightning cannon himself! Sure enough, it was like the fury of thunder. ”
Cheng Zhijie took a look at the smell of gunpowder smoke in the air with some nostalgia and said, "It's too early to call them the kings of land warfare. Our current steel cannot withstand the power of explosion, and can only be lengthened and thickened to make up for it, which is too bulky.
And their power needs to be improved, such a thick lightning cannon will affect the caliber of our shells, making his power greatly reduced.
This means that the enemy is stupidly standing and letting us fight, if they know how to dodge and lie on the ground to avoid the flying shrapnel and the lead balls inside, the casualties will be much smaller.
But overall, the first performance was quite passable, and it made me look forward to its future development. Jinda, take a good look! The flag of Datang will fly with him anywhere in the world! ”
While they were talking and chatting, the lightning cannon quickly carried out three rounds of attacks, and the Tubo people in the inner city were completely disabled. At this time, the Tang army in the air had quietly reached the top of the inner city, and they quickly went up to the city tower along the rope that hung down.
"Kill!" There were shouts of killing on the city tower, and it was military cadets Xue Li and Qin Huaiyu who led the team; They had all undergone special training, and at this time they were leading the army with swords to hunt down the Tibetan people who were running wolf-running.
"Rengui, you go to hunt down Zampu, and I'll open the city gate to welcome the army in!" Qin Huaiyu shouted, led the people and rushed towards the city gate. Xue Li still had great respect for Qin Huaiyu, and he agreed: "Yes!" Then he led people straight to the abandoned sect to praise it.
Branch? Serugun had already escorted the abandoned sect and retreated into the palace, and he shouted, "Zampu, the enemy is strong, and the weapons are sharp; There are also traitors as internal responses; The situation is critical; Let's retreat quickly! ”
The minister of the head of the Seven Sages, Zhu Lejie, also said: "Zampu, branch? What General Seru Gongdun said is reasonable, let's retreat to Nianmai first and wait for the army of Chi Duoji Zunjie to come back before counterattacking the enemy. ”
Abandon the sect and praise it deeply, he asked the guards to resist desperately at the door to block the attack of the Tang army. Serugun and Joulje fled quietly under the protection of Seruguntun and Jolej.
The palace guards are the most elite force in Tubo, and they are also well-equipped, relying on the protection of the palace walls and fighting without fear of death, they actually firmly blocked Xue Rengui outside.
Since Xue Rengui was born, it can be said that it has been smooth sailing, and as soon as he arrived in Chang'an, he got Cheng Zhijie, and was introduced to the world's number one master Luo Song to learn art; Martial arts have advanced by leaps and bounds.
Later, he ranked first in the assessment of the military academy, and in the later studies, he kept many insurmountable records for the military academy. When he graduated, he was personally received and rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor, and he also married the beauty of the Liu family, Liu Yingchun, and last year he was a new son, Xue Ne, who can be said to be happy events.
Following Cheng Zhijie to Sichuan is also a repeated, and now he is a Zhonglang general of the Tang Dynasty, this attack on Tubo has made outstanding contributions, and it is also a sure thing to be promoted to a general to become a leader of the younger generation.
I didn't expect that the outside of the Tibetan palace that was blocked here today may have caused the Tubo bigwigs such as the abandoned sect to escape! The shouts of killing in the city grew louder and closer; Maybe the Great Demon King is about to lead the army to kill, can't he still be stopped?
Thinking of this, Xue Rengui was furious, he shouted angrily, ignoring the rain of arrows shot from above, grabbed a log for siege and rushed up.
"Boom!" Xue Rengui shouted, almost slamming himself against the palace wall with the force of throwing himself out.
"Boom!" The tall palace wall couldn't withstand Xue Rengui's impact, and a large area collapsed. Xue Rengui fell into it with the log in his arms, and then was buried by the masonry.
The Tang army in the back saw that their eyes were red, some rushed up and jumped into the palace to fight with the enemy, and some hurriedly picked up the masonry and rescued Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui spit out two mouthfuls of dirt with blood in his mouthful, and he could barely distinguish his appearance when he turned his head. "Kill!" He shouted angrily despite his injuries, picked up the guy and rushed in.
The palace wall was broken through, and these Tibetan guards rushed to kill far from being the opponent of the Tang army, and those who were killed couldn't help retreating, and slowly retreated to the palace to resist step by step.
Soon Cheng Zhijie's army arrived, and after they joined, they completely crushed the enemy's resistance. The city was soon occupied by the Tang army.
Xue Rengui was covered in blood and found Cheng Zhijie and knelt on the ground and said: "The king of the county, the subordinates can't let the abandoned sect get praise and escape, please punish the king of the county." ”
Cheng Zhijie stepped forward to help him up and said with a smile: "Who is the person who abandoned the sect and praised it?" It's not easy for us to capture him. Hurry up! Find someone to heal the wound, and we will have a chance to capture him in the future. ”
Xue Rengui thanked him, and then went down to find someone to treat his injuries. Cheng Zhijie ordered people to seal the treasury of Tubo and sort out documents such as household registration; and then out of the list of Anmin; It's late at night when this set is busy.
Lao Cheng summoned several generals from Tubo and asked, "Everyone, you must already know that the abandonment of the sect has fled. As the saying goes, it is necessary to hurt people when the tiger returns to the mountain, and we should chase the poor bravely, not to sell the name of the overlord!
This time, if you don't defeat the abandoned sect, you will never give up, let's talk about where they may have gone? ”
These people have seen the strength of Datang, and they have long been sincerely refuted; At that time, the workcloth. Ah Pei said: "Lord Junwang, this is not difficult to guess. There were two capitals in Tibet, one was the present-day Luos; One is the previous New Year's Mai. Nian Mai is the old nest of the abandoned sect and the praise, where is his family power. Don't guess that he must have run to Nianmai! ”
Nie Pudong said: "Lord Ngapoi is right, I heard that there is an army of 100,000 people in the direction of West Tuyuhun. I think that Abandoning Zong Langzan must have fled back to Nianmai, waiting for Chi Duoji Zunjie to come back and compete with the Tang army. ”
Cheng Zhijie nodded silently and said: "What the two of you said coincides with me, we can't let go of the abandonment of the sect and the praise, I am ready to continue to lead the army to pursue them." I'll leave it to the workcloth here. Ngapoi was in charge of guarding. I also hope that everyone will make concerted efforts to maintain peace and stability in Los Angeles and other places. ”
Gongfu. Ah Pei hurriedly bowed down to obey the order, and several others also said that they would help Gongfu. Ngapoi has maintained peace and stability in the occupied areas.
Seeing that it was already late, everyone said goodbye, and Cheng Zhijie wrote two letters, one sent to Chang'an to report to Li Shimin, and the other was sent to Xituguhun to let Hou Jun gather his army to join him.
Hou Junji received a letter from Cheng Zhijie, and knew that the two armies of the people had reached the point of logic, and only he was the only one who was defeated and almost lost Xitu Guhun, so he couldn't help but be ashamed and abnormal, and he couldn't afford to be sick in a hurry.
Hou Junji had no way to lead the troops to the battle, so he had to order Liu Lan to lead the army to join Cheng Zhijie, and at the same time wrote to Li Shimin to resign from his current position because he was ill.
Li Shimin received the defeat information of Hou Junji, and his face turned blue with anger. Since the establishment of Datang, it has made all achievements and is invincible; that is, the powerful Eastern Turks were wiped out in their own hands; didn't expect the first failure, but let Hou Junji catch up.
Hou Junji is his favorite general, and he made great contributions when the Xuanwu Gate changed, and how to deal with him made Li Shimin unable to make up his mind for a while.
At the same time, Li Shimin was also surprised by the strength of Tibet, this wild place in the southwest border, so that with such a great force, even the strongest Hou Junji failed; Will the armies facing greater difficulties on the other two sides succeed? Will this battle against Tibet end in failure?
Just when he was secretly worried, suddenly Lu Chong ran in and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is very happy!" The king of the Great Demon County sent back the good news that they had taken the capital of Tubo, and Tubo Zanpu abandoned the sect and fled in embarrassment. ”
Li Shimin was taken aback and hurriedly said: "Quick, bring it to me!" He almost snatched the good news sent by Lu Chong, quickly skimmed through it at a glance, and then carefully read it from beginning to end.
"Smack!" Li Shimin slapped the table vigorously and said, "Okay! The King of the Great Demon County is really worthy of being a pillar of the country! This time, Tubo is settled! ”
Li Shimin walked around the study excitedly, thinking about how this move should be taken?
At this moment, someone sent Hou Junji's resignation sheet. Li Shimin glanced at it and snorted coldly: "It's still a little self-aware. Ordered Guo Xiaoge to be the governor of Xituyuhun, take over Hou Junji's position, and lead the army into Tubo to assist the king of the Great Demon County.
Since Hou Junji is sick, let him come back! After he recovered from his illness, he didn't have to rush back to the army, so he entered the military academy to study with Li Jing for a period of time to make up for his shortcomings. ”
