'Good talk!! Li Chengyi stood on the city wall and shouted, "Won't you go to training if you're bored?" ''This kind of thing is training, and it is enough to have the captains of each team. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info', Li Chengyi said listlessly, and suddenly raised his head, and said to De Xiaohu next to him, "Otherwise, let's lead the team and go inside." ’

'No, I can't. Xiaohu shook his head, "This time the goal has been achieved, and it is not allowed to act without permission." ''But. "Absolutely not, before this departure, there was a combat meeting, and it was discussed, and we can't go deep without authorization." Everything was prepared according to this, and we took Victoria and stationed it for a month. ’

'Bear with me, it's just a month, and after a month, I'll go back to Chang'an, and then I'll not be bored. ''Okay. Li Chengyi became listless again, Xiaohu shook his head, walked down the slightly dilapidated city wall, and went down to exercise.

This is the city of Victoria, the autumn sun shines on the city wall, and the wall is planted with a large flag with Tang characters. The flag is fluttering in the wind. Soldiers in shining armor stood next to the banner, standing majestically and spiritually, and did not relax in the slightest because the war ended.

Under the city wall, there was a group of soldiers, who were also in good spirits. At the end of the morning exercise, a few recruits on duty went to the kitchen to bring soup buckets.

'Come, come, come, come and drink. One bowl per person. The soldiers lined up, took their bowls, and received a bowl of soup from the master. Xiaohu also stepped forward, took a bowl, and beat another bowl and took it to the city wall for Li Chengyi to drink.

'Does this thing prevent altitude sickness?' After Li Chengyi finished drinking, he spit out the little red flower that he drank into his mouth, and asked, "Uncle said yes." And then we haven't had any altitude sickness for so many days, which should be due to this. ’，

Xiaohu and they recovered the fortified city of Victoria not long ago, and now they are waiting for Du Yi's soldiers and horses to take over from Xichuan Jiedu. To be honest, Xiaohu was a little dissatisfied, and he had already asked you to prepare, if Xichuan soldiers and horses followed when they set off, they would have been able to go home.

'When you two are ready, there will be a review meeting. At this time, Gao Biao walked up to the city wall and shouted to the two that there was a meeting, "Here we are." ''Got it.'' I followed Gao Yu to a room, this room is very large, but the decoration is very... Nondescript.

This room is decorated with a lot of calligraphy and paintings, and there are some three-colored pottery, and there is a screen on the right hand side of the entrance, on which is painted a maid. There was a bookcase against the wall with a few books.

Everything's good, it's...' Honestly, I want to tear this room down.' After Li Chengyi came in, the first sentence was this sentence, and then in this room, except for one person, everyone agreed with this sentence very much.

This is the room of the Jiebao, which was requisitioned as a conference room because it was the largest. From the perspective of style, it can be seen that he admires Datang very much, and these things are produced by Datang. It's just that painting a tiger is not an anti-dog, these good things are placed in this room by him, and it feels like everything is declaring war on each other

'Alright, alright, let's have a meeting. Seeing that everyone was together, Gao Biao announced, "Today is the third meeting since our army entered Victoria, and I am the Marquis of Gao Biao, and I am the chairman today. ’

First of all, we will discuss the question of the Tibetan captives. Gao Biao first announced the first thing to be discussed, what should be done with the tens of thousands of Tibetan captives?

Today is the fifth day of Victoria's recovery. Datang prepared for the year, and Li Chen had great expectations for the Battle of Victoria, and when Xiaohu and they arrived in Victoria City and camped, it ended the next day. Tens of thousands of Tibetans were captured, of course, not all warriors, but also many old and weak women and children, who were driven to repair the city walls a few days ago, and now it is time to discuss what to do with them.

After Gao Biao said this, everyone turned their eyes to the other person present, not Xiaohu, but a middle-aged man who was not tall and looked very shrewd, but now there was a look of panic and flattery. This person is the lord of Victoria, the leader of the Tibetan tribe based in Victoria.

'Xiaobang has admired the Heavenly Dynasty for a long time, and several generals can see from the room, I have admired the Tang Dynasty for a long time, and so is Xiaobang, and the people of the city are eager for the rescue of the Heavenly Army. Please also ask the general to be gracious. This is a nondescript remark, but for a Tibetan person, it is already good.

People are swords, I am fish and meat, so that this lord of a city, a tribe has to be Jiebao, I have to lower my voice, and finally squeeze out these words. It was a bad feeling, but now that everything had happened, he quickly recognized the reality.

Anyway, who is not Shun, back then, they were defeated by the Tubo people before they were obedient, and now they are just Tang people.

It's good to change to the Tang people, the Tang Dynasty is still very strong, the civil strife in Tubo has begun, and I don't know when it will end, although it hasn't been involved here yet, but it's not bad to change your thighs as soon as possible. What's more, he will never forget that day.

Jiebao, who was on the city wall, had a very bad premonition. Seeing this strange Tang Army, he beat a drum in his heart, and always felt that this Tang Army was very strange. The number of people is surprisingly small, the speed of the battle is surprisingly fast, and the equipment is also very strange, even this method of battle is strange.

Ordinary Tang Army, when they go up to Sanssouci City, shouldn't they be out of breath? Why is this Tang Army still so energetic. The camp was set up on the first day, and the siege came on the second day?

According to his experience, these Tang people, after they go to the land of Tubo, they will be cursed by the gods, no matter which god it is, whether it is Bon or not, it doesn't matter if those Tianzhu come, anyway, as long as the Tang people go to the land of Tubo, only those who are physically stronger will not be affected.

Generally, as soon as the Tang people come up, they will be cursed by the gods, and they will experience dizziness, headache, vomiting, and poor breathing. It's so severe that you can even die. But none of these Tang Army. None of them have reacted in this way.

The tactics are strange. Jay Bao wondered, didn't they have to build siege equipment? Not even a ladder. With a steel shield on their backs, they went into battle. How are they going to climb the walls? Do you climb it?

Time does not allow Jabor to continue to wonder. As the Tang army approached, the Tang army got the crossbow arrows to strike first. Several Tibetan soldiers screamed and fell off the city wall. So, Jie Bao also ordered the crossbowmen to return fire, and as for those strange Tang troops, wait for them to come up and then clean up. However, when the archers on both sides were in power, Jebo found another thing that was very bad and frightened him.

The Tang army's crossbow arrows were too fierce. It's not that he doesn't know that the Tang army has very powerful bows and crossbows, and often causes huge casualties to the Tubo people before the two armies have even engaged.

However, that kind of dense rain of arrows can not be maintained all the time. The Tang army got crossbow arrows, no matter how far or near, it took time to open the bow. The Tubo people charged, and they were able to get close to the Tang army after one or two waves of arrows. And there are not so many crossbow arrows, and after enduring some damage, they are close to the range of the Tang army's bow and arrows.

The Tang army had more powerful bows and arrows, although it was not so far away, but the bow and arrow rate of fire was relatively fast, and the time for a crossbow arrow was an arrow, and the archer could send two or three arrows. What's more, the density of bows and arrows can be higher than that of crossbow arrows. However, the Tibetans did not have enough crossbow arrows, and there were still a lot of bows and arrows. It will not let the Tang army suppress the Tibetans on the one hand.

But what's going on? Jie Bao was shocked, and the Tubo people were constantly hit by arrows, screaming and falling off the city wall. This batch of strange Tang troops is even very powerful with crossbow arrows.

Two hundred and fifty paces, far away from the range of bows and arrows, the Tubo people stood on the city wall, and they couldn't reach the distance, but the Tang crossbow shot down one by one the Tubo people like a bird. This is not surprising, he knows that the Tang crossbow is originally stronger than the bow and arrow. But what's the deal with this rate of fire?

This is a rough estimate, the number is only one army, about 3,000 troops, about 300 people guarding the camp, about 2,000 people coming forward to attack, and 500 to 600 people to support from a distance. This is similar to his impression that the Tang army has a proportion of crossbow arrows.

But what's the deal with this rate of fire? The Tang army got crossbow arrows, and they shot like bows and arrows. The Tang army got crossbow arrows, when did it become so sharp. What is even more desperate is that in addition to the rate of fire, in front of the crossbow archers of the Tang Army, there is also a shield, and the steel shield seems to reflect every bit of light in the sun, and the crossbow arrows of the city are shot at the Tubo people.

These shields provided very good cover for the crossbowmen of the Tang army, not to mention whether the Tubo people could shoot if they had to break the bow, even if the defenders took out the crossbow arrows captured from the Tang army on the city wall, they could not shoot through.

This shield is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, similar to the shield of a Western kite. The lower end can be inserted into the earth, and the upper end covers the crossbowman's entire body, but there is also an opening through which the crossbowman can open a **.

Of course, you can shoot others, and others can reflect you, but at such a distance, hundreds of paces, more than 200 meters, you want to shoot a hole about the size of a human head? Unless Li Guang and Yang Youji are reincarnated. But even if they are reincarnated, how many can they shoot to death?

'Hold steady, aim and shoot again.' They can't shoot you. Follow the training. In the crossbow team, Li Chengyi was commanding the Tang army's crossbow arrows. Just look at this group of Tang troops, each of them has a strong crossbow in their hands, but this strong crossbow is a bit strange.

I saw a Tang Jun who had finished shooting, put the crossbow on the ground, stepped on the front end, pulled a lever back, and quickly wound the crossbow, and then he quickly pulled out a crossbow arrow, put it in the trough, and began to fire. The whole process is not as fast as a bow and arrow, but it is just a little slower.

This thing was named a repeater. Whether it is history or not, Zhuge Liang has to repeat the crossbow, it is unknown. Anyway, it was the Royal Research Institute, hundreds of people who were specialized in arithmetic and institutions, under Li Chen's instructions, researched such a thing.

Basically, a strong crossbow is still a strong crossbow. However, with the addition of labor-saving machines, while maintaining power, winding has also become faster and easier.

However, everything comes at a price, and this crossbow is not cheap to cost, and it is also very laborious. Let Li Chen's idea of a large number of all-army configurations be put on hold for the time being.

No matter how powerful the Tang crossbow is, it still can't climb the city for people, the focus of the Victorian offensive and defensive war is still to get the Tang army under the city wall, Jie Bao saw through this, in addition to letting people try to get all kinds of planks and sit in vain to block arrows, the most important thing is to strike at the Tang army under the city wall.

However, little was achieved. A group of Tang troops gathered near the city gate, and Jiebao wanted to attack the Tang army there, but the Tang army had to be long-range, and all of them hit this vicinity, regardless of whether they would accidentally injure friendly troops. Dense as rain is sometimes just an adjective, but near the city gates, it is a real phenomenon. The crossbow arrows were so dense that no one dared to show their heads, and the simple shields of Tubo could not stop the Tang army's crossbow arrows at all. The Tubo people in this vicinity had to flee in embarrassment, and they could not put any pressure on the Tang army at all.

Jie Bao could only comfort himself in this way, the Tang army did not have siege weapons, and the gates of Victoria were all reinforced, and they could not open them easily.

Your crossbow arrows are powerful, we can't afford to provoke them, so let's hide. See how long you can. There is another place where it is difficult to fight Victoria City, that is, it is more difficult to replenish. Because it is located on the plateau, it is more difficult to transport baggage.

Jie Bao thought to himself, shoot it, shoot all the crossbow arrows, see how you resupply, and consume you to death. It's a bit of an ostrich mentality, but it's the right thing to do. But...

The Tang army retreated. A young man, lowering his body, covered up along the city wall, went to the vicinity of Jiebao and said, "Jiebao, the Tang army has retreated near the city gate." ’

'What? Jay Bao was surprised, so he retreated. This is one of the few soldiers he left near the city gate, usually hiding under the city wall, using the city wall to cover, occasionally showing up to see the Tang army's dynamics, who knew that he was given such a news.

The Tang army retreated, what did they retreat? Wasted so many crossbow arrows just to get close to the city gates? The Tang army has a lot of baggage and can't run out? He quietly probed and looked out, the Tang army really retreated, far away from the city gate, and was in line??

Before Jie Bao could figure it out, there was a loud bang, shaking the eardrums, and all the Tubo people subconsciously covered their ears. Everyone was shaken up. After a while, I put down my hand and looked around blankly, what's going on, it's thundering? But no, listening to this sound is very close to here, how can thunder come from the ground?

'The gates are broken! The gates are broken!', and as they searched for the source of the thunder, a terrible cry rang out, and everyone was horrified to see that the gates were still in tatters a few feet away. In an instant, a huge panic surged into everyone's hearts, and the city was broken!!

Although it is said that the city is broken, it does not mean that the city has fallen, but most of the time, the city gate is broken, which means that the city has fallen. This makes everyone panic and overwhelmed.

Jie Bao is trying to resist the city, or surrender. Soon, someone helped him make a decision. When a group of Tubo soldiers spontaneously wanted to go to the city gate to resist, a round ball was thrown from the side of the Tang army, and the Tubo soldiers looked at this curiously and subconsciously wanted to hide.

It's not that I don't know what it is, no one takes the slow swallowing ball seriously, it's just an instinctive reaction. However, when the ball made a loud noise, and the Tubo soldiers fled crying and shouting for their mothers, bringing panic to all the Tubo people, Victoria was recovered by the Tang army without blood.
