Chapter 390: Lack of Survival

It was when Hong Lie, the Tubo garrison of Oroling, was stunned when he received the news that Zhou Tianci led the Song army to attack in a big way.

He never thought that Zhou Tianci would not only behead Dabusai and Qinling, but also break the 80,000 army of Qinling, and then lead the army straight to Tubo to kill!

Is this person going to stubbornly turn a defense-oriented defense war into an expeditionary war that takes the initiative to attack!

After the shock, the Oroling guard sent Hong Lie to the capital of Tubo as soon as possible. At the same time, he ordered the defenders in the city to strengthen the city defenses, preparing to hold on to it, and did not choose to abandon the city and flee.

On this day, Zhou Tianci and Wei Chi Jingda led more than 40,000 Song troops to the outside of the city of Oroling.

Zhou Tianci stood above the army with his sword in the air, raised his eyes indifferently and swept over the fortified city in front of him, swept the Tubo army waiting on the city tower, raised his right arm, and ordered the army to stop thousands of kilometers away from the city of Oroling, and lined up four 'mortars' and two heavy artillery pieces in a row, aiming at the front

The gates and towers!

Putting on a position, Zhou Tianci shouted loudly in the air: "The Tubo defenders in the city listen, if they don't want to be bombarded by artillery, they will open the city and surrender immediately!" Otherwise, our army will definitely raze this Oro Ling City, so that you will die without a place to be buried! ”

On the wall of the Oroling city, the guard Hong Lie looked at Zhou Tianci in the air, and said angrily: "Zhou Tianci, although my Hong Lie's cultivation is not as good as yours, but don't underestimate me and wait." I, Honglie, and the 20,000 soldiers in the city, would rather die than surrender, and swear to live and die with this city! ”

Listening to the loud words from the city wall with the blessing of True Yuan, Zhou Tianci's indifferent face couldn't help but smile lightly, and he nodded slightly: "I didn't expect that when the entire Tubo was almost exhausted, there would still be such a loyal and brave general as you." Well, Ben Shuai will be fulfilled today

You! ”

After that, Zhou Tianci's face turned cold, and he pulled out the long sword in the sheath with a bang, pointed forward, and shouted coldly: "Fire!" ”

As Zhou Tianci's shouts fell, the gunners who were already in place next to the artillery began to quickly load the shells, and the six cannons, the muzzles of the cannons spit out long tongues of fire, and began to roar at the city of Oroling!

Bang bang bang! ……

Between heaven and earth, a series of loud noises soon erupted, like thunder one after another, constantly exploding at the head of the Golling City! Sonic boom for dozens of miles!

The earth began to tremble under the roar of artillery, and one after another shells continued to explode at the head of the city of Oroling and at the city gate!

For a time, the head of the city of Oroling saw smoke and dust surging, sand and gravel shooting, and the solid city wall of Oroling was soon blasted out of the gap. And the towering city tower was directly collapsed by several cannonballs, and it was bombarded into ruins!

The Tibetan defenders at the head of the city wailed under the roar of artillery, and the blood rained down, and they were soon so frightened that they hid behind the city wall, barely able to lift their heads, and their faces were full of terror.

When they encountered the Song army's firearms for the first time, they were almost frightened by the terrible power and loud noise of the artillery!

Hong Lie hid on the city wall with a frightened face, very anxious. But what made him extremely desperate was that in the face of the roar of the Song army's artillery, he could not find a good way to defend or counterattack. Because of the Song army, all of them are outside the range of their weapons!

At the head of the city, Hong Lie looked at the Tubo army that was all cowering behind the city wall in horror, unable to fight back with even a feather arrow, and he had led the troops for many years, and for the first time felt that this battle could not be fought at all!

For the first time, I felt that the rumored Song military firearms were really terrifying!

The Tibetan army retreated behind the city wall and could not fight back, and the city of Oro soon became dilapidated under the roar of artillery, and it was scorched black everywhere!

Boom!

Soon, the gate of Gorling City, which had been bombed continuously, was directly blown into pieces by a heavy artillery shell with a loud bang!

The city gate was opened by a cannon, the long sword in Zhou Tianci's hand was raised, and he shouted with an indifferent face:

Zhou Tianci's order, the Song army's army suddenly thundered with war drums, the order flag flew, and the earth-shattering shouts of killing broke out, shaking the mountains and rivers! Immediately afterwards, Wei Chi Jingda led several vanguard generals in the army to take the lead, and the army roared and launched a charge towards Oroling City!

Under the bombardment of six artillery pieces, the Tubo defenders at the head of the city of Oroling hid behind the city wall in panic, unable to fight back. And the heavy city gate of the Oroling was directly shattered by heavy artillery.

Subsequently, Zhou Tianci gave an order, and more than 40,000 Song troops launched a charge towards Oroling City!

After the army launched an offensive charge towards the city of Oroling, the heavy artillery of the Song army stopped roaring. However, the four 'mortars' did not hurt their own soldiers due to the large elevation angle of the shells, and they still roared towards the city, covering the charge of the army!

At the head of the city of Golling, the guard general Hong Lie heard the earth-shattering shouts and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves outside the city, his complexion changed greatly, and he hurriedly got up from behind the city wall and ordered the whole army to meet the enemy!

After receiving Hong Lie's order, the Tibetan soldiers on the city wall and in the city began to try to get up to meet the enemy. However, due to the fact that the artillery of the Song army was still roaring, and the shadow of being bombarded by the artillery just now, most of the Tubo soldiers were panicked and hesitated, and they were unable to launch an effective counterattack for a while.

When Hong Lie saw that the situation was not right, he was furious, and passed the order down, and those who were afraid of the enemy's cowardly battle and retreated were immediately beheaded!

After a death order, the Tibetan defenders in the city finally gradually stabilized their position.

But the army's position had just stabilized, and seeing that the Song army was about to enter the range of the bow and crossbow, Hong Lie was about to lead the army to counterattack, but his face suddenly changed again, and his eyes looked into the air outside the city!

In mid-air, Zhou Tianci held a long sword, resisted the wind, turned into a white shadow and went straight to the head of the Goling City!

Looking at Zhou Tianci, who was obviously pointing directly at him, Hong Lie's eyes couldn't help but swell with endless horror, and shouted: "Stop him for me!" ”

After receiving Hong Lie's order, the Tubo defenders at the head of the city hurriedly stretched out their bows and arrows, and fired thousands of arrows at the white shadow in the air!

At the same time, several generals with good cultivation quickly surrounded Hong Lie's side, wanting to protect Hong Lie!

In mid-air, Zhou Tianci looked at the countless arrow rain that came straight to him, his face was still so cold and calm, he raised his left hand and waved, and an arc-shaped white sword light suddenly appeared in front of him!

The arc-shaped white sword light was like a slender crescent moon, condensed in front of Zhou Tianci's body, and galloped with his figure!

The rain of thousands of arrows roaring from the head of the Goling City was all turned into crumbs by the invisible sword qi when it reached two zhang in front of the white sword light! Zhou Tianci's body resisted the white sword light like the wind, easily breaking through the rain of thousands of arrows, and went straight to the flood at the head of the city!

Zheng!

At the head of the city of Goling, a sharp and crisp sword roar sounded!

Zhou Tianci turned into a white shadow, raised his hand and waved his sword, and a cold and beautiful white sword light flashed at the head of the city of Oroling!

The white shadow and sword light flashed by, and then, Zhou Tianci's figure appeared on the top of the ruins of the Erling City Tower!

He turned his back to Hong Lie and the Tubo soldiers on the city wall, holding his sword at his side, and stood against the wind with an indifferent face. On the cold and snow-white blade, blood slowly flowed down the blade!

At the head of the city of Oroling, Hong Lie and several generals around him also turned their backs to Zhou Tianci in the rear.

The difference is that at this moment, their bodies all stiffened in place, and in their eyes, the horror was frozen at the moment when Zhou Tianci took out the sword!

Then, soon, Hong Lie and several generals around him fell to the ground with a thud, and blood gushed out like a fountain around their necks!

On the top of the ruins of the city tower, Zhou Tianci stood with a sword in the wind, looking at the whole picture of the Oroling City in front of him, and looking at the scenery of the mountains and rivers of Tubo farther to the west, and did not turn around again.

Behind him, the Tubo defenders, who had lost several of their main generals, looked at the Hong Lie people who fell at the head of the city with a frightened face, and then looked at the figure standing with their backs to them, and the shock in their hearts was incomprehensible.

The Tubo defenders, who lost their main general, soon became in turmoil, and under the city, the Song army led by Wei Chi Jingda had already entered the city gate!

In the city, the Tubo defenders, who were in turmoil and demoralized, were unable to compete with the Song army led by Wei Chi Jingda, and soon the whole army was defeated and fled westward!

Wei Chi Jingda led the army to slash all the way, beheaded countless enemies, chased the defeated and fleeing Tubo defenders all the way out of the city, and in one battle, all the 20,000 defenders of the Oroling were annihilated!

At the head of the city, Zhou Tianci stood on the top of the ruins of the city tower, looking at the Song army that had won a great victory in the city, and a smile finally appeared in the corner of his eyes.

There was a wind, coming from the east, blowing through the head of the city of Oroling, blowing Zhou Tianci's clothes and black hair, and also blowing the broken Tubo military flag at the head of the city of Oro.

It blew away the dark clouds in the western part of the Song Kingdom, and also blew the smell of blood in the territory of Tubo.

On this day, Zhou Tianci led the Song army and took the first fortified city in Tibet.

At this point, the Song army announced that it had officially stepped into the territory of Tubo and began this expedition to take the initiative to attack Tubo!

On the second day after taking the city of Goling, Zhou Tianci and Wei Chi Jingda led the army to continue westward without stopping, pointing directly at Quna, the second fortified city in eastern Tibet.

The defenders of Quna City are smaller than those of Oroling, with only more than 10,000 people.

Their guard, although he was only a general with little reputation, he, like Hong Lie, did not abandon the city and chose to resist.

Zhou Tianci respected such a general, but he was also not polite at all, and ordered people to bombard the city gate with artillery, and led the army to completely take the city of Qu Na within a few hours!

Then, Zhou Tianci and Wei Chi Jingda led the army to continue to march westward, approaching Heiyun City, the third fortified city in eastern Tibet.

The defenders of Black Cloud City were even smaller than the previous two cities, only a few thousand. The guards heard that the Song army led by Zhou Tianci was unstoppable, and the Oro and Qu Na fell one after another, and even the city did not dare to defend it anymore, so they abandoned the city and fled!

So, the Song army did not waste its strength, and drove directly into Black Cloud City.

The Song army connected three cities in Tubo at a very fast speed, and in Tubo, the Tubo emperor had just received an urgent military situation from the Song army at this time. Then, soon, he received one defeat after another of the fall of one city after another, and the death and wounding of tens of thousands of border troops.

When the news of defeat spread into the country, the whole country was shaken in Tibet, and the people in the court were panicked.

The Tibetan Emperor sat slumped on the dragon chair, his eyes full of despair.

Now the national teacher Nie Chi Longzan and the ten lamas are dead, and the generals such as Qinling, Pang Ce, and Xiao Yan, as well as the main forces in Tibet, are all lost

Lost.

In this case, Zhou Tianci personally led a large army to attack, who else could stop his pace......

After sitting paralyzed with a frightened face for a long time, the Tibetan Emperor summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs to discuss what to do. Whether it is war, peace, or surrender.

On the top of the main hall, a group of civil and military officials in Tubo suddenly quarreled, and there were all those who held any point of view. But in general, most of the ministers thought that they should try peace talks, and perhaps, if they gave Song a little benefit, the matter would be settled.

After convening the ministers of civil and military affairs for discussion, the Tubo Emperor decided to adopt the opinions of his ministers and sent envoys to negotiate peace with Zhou Tianci.

When the Tibetan envoys arrived in the Song army, Zhou Tianci had already led the army to destroy the five cities in the territory of Tubo, and no one could stop them, and the troops were in full swing.

On this day, the Tibetan envoys trembled into Zhou Tianci's big tent, saying that Tubo was willing to negotiate peace with the Song State, as long as Zhou Tianci was willing to withdraw from the army, Tubo was willing to compensate the Song State for a large amount of wealth, horses, etc., and promised that the Song State would never be invaded again in the future.

Listening to the seemingly very exciting conditions put forward by the Tibetan envoys, Zhou Tianci just smiled faintly, and then said expressionlessly: "It's not impossible for me to withdraw from the army, but my condition is: Tubo must become a subject state of the Song State from now on, and in the future, whether it is the replacement of the Tubo Emperor or the appointment and dismissal of the main military and political officials of the Tubo Imperial Court, it must be seen by the Song Emperor and nodded and agreed before it can take effect!"
