Chapter 412: Fierce Battle!
With a scream, the Tibetan generals in the rear finally couldn't hold their breath. Ran Wen is small? Say??.? If the r?anen'org continued like this, even if the vanguard of more than 2,000 elite soldiers could rush under the walls of the holy city, I am afraid that there would be less than 500 people left.
At that time, even if these more than 500 people really rushed to the city gate, I am afraid that it will not be enough for people to kill, let alone break the city.
At this time, he saw the Tibetan general saying a few words to the guards beside him. After the guard saluted slightly, he immediately ran into the distance. A moment later, he saw more than 2,000 people rushing out of the army from the rear again, rushing towards the holy city not far away, to join the Tibetan soldiers in front. Because the dangers ahead have been put to risk by the first batch of Tibetan infantry. Therefore, the second group of Tubo soldiers who rushed out did not slow down at all and rushed forward with all their might. Soon, they caught up with the first soldiers who were forging ahead.
But I saw that almost every one of the second group of soldiers who rushed up took out a plank, and then quickly put the plank still on the ground, and soon, the ground in front of this holy city was already covered with planks. At this time, no matter how well those traps are dug, I am afraid that these Tibetan soldiers will not fall into it.
After seeing this scene, the Tibetan army suddenly lifted its morale. They all roared angrily and continued to rush in the direction of the Holy City.
However, after Lu Chen, who was on the city wall, saw this scene, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. If he had avoided the trap so easily, then he would not have taken such trouble to set up traps around the city in the first place.
Just when Lu Chen was thinking about this in his heart, he only heard a heart-rending scream from the Tubo soldiers below. I saw only a terrifying explosion on the ground covered with wooden planks, every now and then. And, because the floor was covered with wooden planks, they couldn't tell what was buried in that place.
While this group of people is trembling forward. Lu Chen had already asked people to install gunpowder on the cannon at this city gate, and then Lu Chen personally loaded a huge bomb into the barrel.
Under the gaze of everyone, Lu Chen slowly adjusted the height of the artillery. When Lu Chen felt that there was no longer any problem, he also carefully lit the gunpowder primer. Under the expectant gaze of many soldiers, this huge cannonball was directly fired into the air. Probably because it was dark now, the Tibetan generals and many Tibetan soldiers who were waiting behind did not notice that a single shell had flown towards them.
Of course, the more than two or three thousand Tibetan soldiers who were attacking the holy city in front saw it. However, even if they had seen it, they did not have time to inform the army in the rear anymore.
It only took a few moments for the shell to fall quickly diagonally towards the rear of the army. Soon, the huge cannonball fell into the Tibetan army, only to hear a deafening explosion, but saw that in the center of the Tibetan soldiers slightly to the left, suddenly a large pit mixed with the bones of many Tibetan soldiers appeared.
Seeing this scene, those Tibetan generals were shocked and at the same time slightly relieved in their hearts. Fortunately, the black ball didn't fall on them, otherwise, they wouldn't have survived at all.
Thinking of this, several Tibetan generals looked at the big pit that had just been blown out again, and it was initially estimated that the diameter of this pit should be dozens of meters, and the central position was also very deep.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt in their hearts that they couldn't stay here for too long, after all, this city that suddenly appeared seemed a little strange in itself, and now in the big war, from time to time there would be a few secret weapons that they had never heard of.
Although I don't know where the other party's new gadgets came from, but a few Tubo generals are convinced, if the other party has a few more similar hole cards, I'm afraid they will have to pay a very heavy price in this war.
Thinking of this, the faces of several Tibetan generals were not very good-looking, after all, before they attacked the Holy City, the estimated number of casualties was between three hundred and five hundred. However, now that the death toll alone exceeded 1,500, looking at the battle situation in front of them, they were afraid that if they wanted to capture this city, they would have to pay at least the lives of more than a thousand soldiers.
At this time, several Tibetan generals already regretted coming to capture this small city. After all, until now, their people had not come close to the city walls, and the casualties had reached such a terrifying level.
But now looking at the vanguard that was less than a hundred steps away from the walls of the Holy City, if they let a few generals give up, they would be a little unwilling, after all, this was at the cost of nearly 2,000 people before they fought it.
After a short period of thought, I saw the Tibetan general who commanded this battle, suddenly yelled into the sky, quickly pulled out his weapon, and rushed towards the direction of the holy city. Seeing this, the remaining Tibetan soldiers also rushed to the holy city.
And when these Tibetan soldiers launched a general attack on the Holy City, Lu Chen finally estimated the number of the other party. The other party should have come with about 7,000 people. So far, more than 2,000 people have been killed by Lu Chen. However, after paying the price of more than 2,000 people, these Tibetan soldiers were already very close to the holy city.
Seeing this scene, the captain of the city guard on the city wall immediately shouted, "Bombardier, prepare!" ”
After hearing the words of the captain, he saw that the crossbowmen quickly left the front of the city wall, and then a large number of soldiers with black bombs rushed over, occupying the positions that belonged to the crossbowmen before, and each of them quickly prepared for battle, holding a bomb in their hands, and waited for the captain's order.
Seeing that these bombers were ready, the captain immediately waved his hand and said loudly, "Release!" ”
In the next instant, hundreds of black bombs were thrown from the city wall. And the Tubo soldiers below, after seeing these black balls, subconsciously used their shields to resist. However, the moment these black bombs touched the shield and the ground, only a deafening explosion was heard, and a large number of Tibetan soldiers were instantly blown up and could not find their figures.
And the follow-up team that had just rushed up, after being attacked by this bomb, the formation suddenly became very chaotic. Even those Tibetan generals who had just rushed to the front of the holy city immediately fled to the rear after seeing the terrifying explosion in front of them. It was only after retreating for a distance of more than 100 meters that they stopped.
It was only at this time that they looked up at their ranks, but they saw that after this round of indiscriminate bombardment, only about 3,000 soldiers were still able to maintain their combat effectiveness from the initial six or seven thousand people.
