Chapter 1052: The Big Bang

"The city of Suzhou is heavily guarded, and the Tubo people have increased their troops, and now the city is full of enemy troops!" Shen Long had not yet arrived at the city of Suzhou, and Tanma brought back the news.

"Yuan Zheng, if it is a hard attack, our army will inevitably suffer a lot of losses!" Hearing this news, Guo Xin showed a trace of hesitation, from Suzhou to the past, there are many important cities such as Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Huizhou, Lanzhou, Weizhou, etc., and only after penetrating these cities can they enter the territory of Datang.

"Most of them are protected and rest assured, the end will be prepared!" Shen Long replied with confidence, and then continued to lead the army forward, until a few miles outside the city of Suzhou to stop, the Tubo people did not come out to attack, presumably they learned the lesson of Yizhou before, and wanted to wait for work, first rely on the city file a file of the Tang Dynasty, and then come out to attack not too late.

Set up camp and rest for one night, the next day the Tang soldiers and horses began to get busy, the craftsmen in the army began to cut down trees outside the city, preparing to create various siege weapons, while the rest of the soldiers and horses scattered in all directions, sweeping the soldiers and horses of the Tubo people outside the city, trying to make Suzhou a lonely city.

The Tubo people originally had the intention of defending to the death, and there were not many soldiers and horses left outside the city, so they arranged the follow-up troops in a distant place, and they would wait until the Tang soldiers and horses showed fatigue, and they would respond with the defenders in the city inside and outside, and completely defeat the Tang soldiers and horses.

"Ho, let's see how Datang attacks!" Above the city, the Tubo guard sneered, and then ordered people to prepare rolling logs, stones, arrows, gold juice and other things, and give them a head-on blow as soon as the Tang Dynasty launched an attack.

"Jinglu, let the villain go first in this battle!" Kang Guangde came to ask for war again, he did not participate in the battle of Gelulu, and felt that his status in Shen Long's heart must be decreasing, so he wanted to take this opportunity to make up for it.

"After a while, Xiao Wang has just arrived, and he hasn't made an inch of success yet, so it's better to let Xiao Wang take the lead this time!" The prince of Bakhana also came to fight, and when he thought that Chang'an was ahead, he was extremely eager to break through the barrier and enter Chang'an as soon as possible.

"After a strategy, the last general has not fought with the Tubo people, so it is better to let the villain come to this battle." Gu Lulu also joined the ranks of the competition, and the remaining many servant troops are also fighting bravely to be the first, in their opinion, the victory of the Tang Dynasty in this battle has become a foregone conclusion, and they must perform first to get benefits after the war.

"Don't worry, you know the thoughts of the war, but now is not the time to attack, how to attack Suzhou City, this scripture has been decided, don't worry, there is a chance to fight!" Shen Long was so confident that after rejecting their invitation to fight, he immediately made arrangements.

He first asked Kang Guangde, Prince Bahanna, Gu Lulu and others to continue to sweep the enemy around Suzhou City with soldiers and horses, and then let the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses line up at the west gate of Suzhou, and began to suppress the enemy at the head of the city with trebuchets and crossbows.

The trebuchet kept throwing stone projectiles at the head of the city of Suzhou, and the crossbowmen also stood on top of the cloud cart above the head of the city, condescending to kill and wound the enemy, and he moved the tent forward and erected a tent not far from the city, as if he had a long-term siege plan.

Seeing this scene, the Tubo generals smiled, the road from Guazhou to Suzhou is long, if you want to besiege it for a long time, I'm afraid that the grain and grass of the Tang Dynasty will not be able to support it! Moreover, the killing of trebuchets and crossbows alone did not play a decisive role at all, at most they provided some cover for the attack of the army, and they ultimately had to rely on the soldiers to enter the city to win.

And once the Tang soldiers and horses began to use the ladder to climb the city, those long prepared rolling wood stones, gold juice crossbow arrows will definitely give them huge damage, before the Tubo invaded the Tang Dynasty many times, captured many Tang craftsmen, and gradually learned the Tang Army's ability to defend the city, it is not easy for the Tang Dynasty to take Suzhou City.

Once the Tang soldiers and horses were hit in the face under the city of Suzhou and were beaten by them, those servant troops would inevitably be dissatisfied, and at that time, the army would be killed from inside and outside the city at the same time, and the Tang soldiers and horses would be defeated.

The Tibetan generals were still dreaming about the city, but Shen Long was not in a hurry or impatient, and did not immediately launch a large-scale attack, but continued to watch the trebuchets and crossbows kill and injure the city.

The Tubo people wanted to fight back, but their trebuchets and bows and crossbows were far inferior to those of the Tang Dynasty, and they had no way to effectively kill the Tang army. So they could only watch aggrievedly as the stones thrown by the trebuchets of the Tang Army, as well as the arrows fired by the bows and crossbows, kept falling on their heads.

All day down, the Tang soldiers and horses did not begin to climb the city, although the losses of the Tubo army were not much, but this feeling of not being able to fight back was simply too uncomfortable, when the military discussion was held at night, there was an impatient temperament and immediately proposed to go out of the city and the Tang soldiers and horses to fight a decisive battle, and finally was suppressed by the guards.

The same was true the next day, and the defenders were muttering in their hearts, did Datang plan to use such a method to take Suzhou? This is obviously impossible, there must be some conspiracy in Datang.

Do you want to lead an army to test it? The Tubo guards also had to seriously consider this problem, if they didn't go out to have a look, they really couldn't figure out Datang's plans, but if they wanted to go out, wouldn't it be the calculation of Datang? For a while, the Tibetan guards have fallen into a tangle.

Fortunately, Shen Long didn't let him dwell on it for long, and on the third day, Datang finally increased his troops, and the armies of Kang Guangde, Prince Bahanna and others, who were originally scattered outside, were called back and lined up outside the West Gate to wait for the order to attack.

The Tubo guards finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that Datang is still going to be tough, so come on! He sent a group of men and horses to the western city wall to defend, preparing to meet the attack of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Shen Long was reluctant to give the order to attack, and Prince Bahanna, Gu Lulu and the others were a little anxious, so they came over and asked Shen Long, "Jinglu, when will we start attacking?" ”

"It's going to be fast, we'll attack when the walls of Suzhou collapse! Be prepared! Shen Long replied with a smile.

The city wall of Suzhou collapsed? Prince Bahanna and Gu Lulu looked at the city head with a confused expression, only to see that the city head was still intact and did not see anything abnormal, but they did not notice that behind them, a Tang soldier with a torch got into the tent.

Soon after, suddenly a huge roar sounded from the ground, and then the walls of Suzhou City collapsed in the explosion, and a gap more than twenty meters wide was blown out.

Did the city wall of Suzhou really collapse? Prince Bahana and the others were stunned!
