When all the defense systems of the Holy City were ready for the battle, Lu Chen waited for the arrival of the Tibetan army along with the 2,500 city guards in the city. Ran Wen ???? ?? ? ?ｅｎ`ｏｒｇ

In the calm before the storm, more than two days passed in a hurry. For more than two days, the Tibetan army did not come to attack the city, and they did not even find a spying Lu Chen. Although they didn't find the enemy, Lu Chen and the others in the City Lord's Mansion now not only did not have the slightest look of relief on their faces, but were extremely dignified.

Although the Tibetan army did not come as they expected in the past two days, according to the tough attitude of the Tibetan generals before, it was absolutely impossible for them to let go of the Holy City so easily, unless they encountered some inevitable major battle and could not draw up their troops. After all, this Tibet is very resentful.

As for why the other party is not attacking now, I am afraid that a plan is brewing.

After spending two days peacefully in this way, in the middle of the night on the third day, Lu Chen, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly woken up by the guard's hurried shout, only to hear the guard's slightly hurried words, "Report to the city lord, the Tubo army is coming!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen's eyes flashed, and he immediately asked, "How many of them are there?" What kind of soldiers are they? ”

Hearing this, the guard thought for a while, but shook his head, and said in a somewhat uncertain tone, "According to the people standing guard on the city wall, there are at least more than 5,000 people sent by the other party, because it is late at night, so we can't see how many people there are on the other side." However, because of the obstruction of the mountains outside, the other side came to invade basically infantry. Those large siege weapons have not yet been found."

After hearing this soldier's introduction, Lu Chen nodded and said, "You go down first, go to the captain of the city guard, and let him go to the city wall to personally direct the battle!" ”

After speaking, Lu Chen immediately got up quickly. After hurriedly dressing and armouring, he immediately rushed in the direction of the city gate. In the streets, I saw that many city guards were hurrying in the direction of the city wall, apparently they had just woken up from their sleep after hearing the news of the enemy's attack.

When Lu Chen came to the location of the main gate, he saw that there were already more than a thousand city guards here, nervously preparing for the battle. Seeing Lu Chen's arrival, these soldiers hurriedly saluted him. However, because the big war was imminent, Lu Chen didn't have time to respond one by one, and rushed directly to the city wall.

At the moment when Lu Chen came to the city wall, he saw a large army of black pressure in the distance, and it could be estimated from the enemy troops in front of him that the number of people was more than five thousand. What's more, how many enemy troops are farther away, they don't know. After seeing this scene, Lu Chen said to himself with a solemn face: It seems that there is a tough battle to fight next!

And at this moment, I saw a soldier suddenly rushing out from the Tibetan army in the distance, he went straight to the city wall, and shouted to Lu Chen's location, "Soldiers of the Holy City, our lord has now come to take over the Holy City, and please open the city gate immediately, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings." Otherwise, once a battle is triggered, the result is not something you can afford! ”

Listening to this person's shout, he saw Lu Chen sneer, and quickly shot an arrow with a bow, only to hear a faint sound of breaking the air. In the next moment, the voice of the soldier who was shouting under the city wall stopped abruptly.

Under the gaze of many soldiers, I saw the soldier slowly fall backwards.

Seeing this scene, the Tibetan generals in the distance were immediately furious, and he immediately gave the order to attack the army behind him.

After hearing this order, he saw that the more than 2,000 infantry in front of him rushed towards the holy city almost at the same time, and the shouts of killing reached into the sky. At this time, the captain of the city guard immediately waved his hand. I saw that a large number of crossbowmen had quickly found their positions, and then put their arrows on the crossbows, waiting for the order of their captain.

The army rushing from below was only three or four hundred paces away from the Holy City at this time. After a slight estimate, the captain of the city guard waved his hand again and shouted angrily, "Shoot!" "Although the effective shooting distance of the gun crossbow is more than 200 paces, because they are on the city wall, they can shoot much farther than on flat ground.

Before the Tibetan infantry could react, the first wave of arrows had already rained head-on. Amid the screams of these infantrymen, more than 100 people fell in a pool of blood in an instant. Seeing this scene, a small general in the army immediately shouted, "Everyone defend with shields!" "Just now, the reason why they didn't take out their shields when they attacked was because they thought that the opponent's arrows couldn't shoot at their position for the time being. Therefore, in order to be able to rush over as soon as possible, they did not raise their shields at the first time, but carried them behind their backs.

Therefore, now these Tibetan soldiers saw that the rain of arrows could actually shoot here, and they didn't react for a while. When they came to their senses, they hurriedly raised their shields above their heads, diagonally upwards to ward off the occasional rain of arrows.

On the city wall, the captain of the city guard who saw this scene smiled with some surprise, "It seems that this Tibetan soldier doesn't know much about our guns and crossbows."

Hearing the captain's words, Lu Chen also nodded in agreement beside him, and said, "After all, the other party hasn't had much contact with us." Moreover, this gun crossbow crossbow has only appeared on the battlefield in Yizhou, and it is normal for them not to know. However, after the fame of the gun crossbow spreads in the future, it may not be easy to receive such miraculous effects again. ”

In just three waves of arrow rain, the other side has already suffered seven or eight hundred casualties. Of course, the reason why so many casualties can be caused is mainly because the other party did not know about the existence of the gun crossbow in advance, and it is basically impossible to inflict such damage in the future.

Sure enough, when the infantry took out their shields. The casualties caused by the rain of arrows were greatly reduced. From the position of the enemy army more than 300 steps away from the city wall to now less than 150 steps away from the city wall, in such a long period of time, only two or three hundred Tibetan soldiers have been killed, not even one-third of the time at the beginning.

When these Tibetan soldiers were only less than 150 paces away from the city wall, they suddenly heard a miserable scream from the Tibetan soldiers who rushed ahead, but saw a large number of Tibetan soldiers falling into the trap on the ground. Some people have been put through a sieve before they can react to anything.

However, although these Tibetan soldiers were already frightened. However, because there was a large army behind them, even if they didn't want to move on, the soldiers who rushed up behind would push them forward.
