on the city walls.

Seeing that the cavalry rushing forward was intercepted, not only was he not in a hurry, but showed a satisfied smile, and his cold eyes fell on the cavalry who rushed out behind, only to see that this cavalry suddenly changed its course, and rushed to the right, although it was shot by the archers a lot, but the attack continued, and he was immediately overjoyed, and stroked his beard and smiled.

"The right handsome is wise." The general next to him said sincerely.

"Our army is cavalry, as long as it is close, the Tang army archers do not have to worry, for the insurance period, send another cavalry to rush out, attack its left side, attack on three sides, this commander depends on how the Tang army defends."

The general said excitedly: "Wonderful, in this way, the Tang army is entangled by our army, the bow and arrow can not play a threat, our army can continue to increase troops, the advantage of troops to the extreme, a battle is decided, the right commander is wise, his subordinates are willing to lead a cavalry to kill the left side, please the right commander is complete!" ”

The army must be there, and the opportunity for meritorious service is just around the corner, and it would be a pity to miss it.

Pu Mins could also understand the other party's meritorious thoughts, waved his hand and said, "Go ahead!" ”

"Obey the order, Xie Youshuai is complete!" The general clasped his fists gratefully and hurried away.

Soon, another cavalry rushed out of the city gates and rushed straight to the left.

Seeing this scene, he suddenly became anxious, attacking from three directions, with 3,000 cavalry on each road, and only 10,000 on his side, and they were all fighting on foot, not riding horses, how to fight this battle?

couldn't help but look at a flag soldier next to him.

The other party asked bluntly: "An Guogong, but do you need the support of my young master?" ”

Stubbornly nodding helplessly, if you can, who doesn't want to defeat their opponent on their own?

Asking for help is a shame for a general.

The flag soldiers were sent by the Guards Regiment and, without the slightest hesitation, quickly passed the order through the flag.

There were flag soldiers on the hillside not far away, and when they saw the order, they quickly waved the flag, and the signals for help were one after another, and they quickly reached Qin Huaidao at the east gate.

"Do you want to fight it?"

Qin Huaidao guessed his opponent's thoughts, snorted coldly with disdain, and shouted: "The artillery battalion is ready-"

The people of the artillery battalion quickly took their positions and looked at Qin Huaidao.

"Forward to the enemy's stone's throw away, quick!" Qin Huaidao shouted, turned over and dismounted, and walked forward.

The men of the artillery battalion rushed up with grenadiers and cannonball boxes, crossed the triphorse area, and soon came to a stop outside a stone's throw away, a position where there was no need to worry about the archers in the city shooting.

Qin Huaidao picked up a grenadier and put it on the ground, gave a thumbs up to measure the distance, sensed the wind speed, and estimated the approximate location of the county guard's mansion.

If it weren't for the fact that the city was too big and there weren't enough cannonballs, Qin Huaidao would definitely give Tubo a wave of cannonballs to wash the ground.

Soon, Qin Huaidao adjusted the angle and shouted: "The elevation angle is forty-five, wait for me to test fire." ”

One of the guards picked up the cannonball and slipped into the grenadier.

"Tong!"

With a roar, the cannonball rushed into the void, drawing a terrible parabola and falling towards the city.

Everyone watched the shell fall, full of anticipation.

"Boom!"

A loud noise came from inside the city, and the light of the fire was faintly visible.

Qin Huaidao judged the location from the landing point of the shell, which should be about ten meters away from the county guard's mansion, and immediately knew in his heart, and shouted: "The landing point is about ten meters to the west as the target of the attack, aim for us, keep the elevation angle at forty-five, one salvo, prepare." ”

Everyone quickly moved the direction, adjusted the angle, and the auxiliaries picked up the shells and got ready.

Cheng Yanjin and Li Jing ran over to check curiously, they couldn't understand how to hit the shell to the predetermined position, how to calculate the angle, etc., and they had a lot of questions in their hearts, but they didn't dare to ask at this time, for fear of disturbing Qin Huaidao's command.

"Put!" Qin Huaidao roared angrily.

Fifty grenadiers roared almost simultaneously, and fifty shells shot into the sky, tearing through the void and sending a terrifying scream into the city.

"Boom, boom!"

Explosions rang out one after another, and fireballs in the city appeared one after another.

It's a pity that through the tall city walls, you can't see the bombing inside.

Qin Huaidao did not continue to order the shelling, there were not many shells, and there were still many battles in the back, so he had to save money, his cold gaze fell on the city gate, thinking about whether to blow up the city gate?

After thinking about it, I still gave up, the time was not ripe.

Wait until the trench is dug.

……

on the city walls.

Seeing that the Tubo army and the Tang army were strangled together, firmly gaining the upper hand, and it would not take long to win, Pu Minsi was overjoyed, and was about to send another cavalry to rush out and crush the Tang army, when he suddenly heard a terrible scream, hurriedly followed the reputation, and saw countless black dots rushing over, and was immediately shocked.

"No, it's that horrible thing." Someone next to him shouted in horror.

Cannonballs are a novelty to the Tibetan people, and they cannot be named.

Pulmins hadn't witnessed the power of the cannonballs before, but he guessed something, staring at it and watching the cannonballs fall, blasting into flames in the city, knocking down countless houses, and burning in many places, he was immediately shocked and his body was cold.

"What kind of weapon is this?"

"How is this battle still going to be fought?"

Terrible thoughts came flooding back.

When the two armies face each other, it is not terrible to rush and kill each other, and they are used to it, but this kind of long-range attack, falling from the sky, and being unable to defend against it is appalling, and can only be beaten passively.

The point is that the destructive power of this attack method is terrifying, and if it continues, wouldn't the 100,000-strong army be a live target? Pu Mins was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly looked at the direction where the shells were flying, and when he saw that there was no follow-up, he was a little relieved in his heart, and shouted: "Pass the order, the number of enemy air attacks is limited, hurry up and put out the fire!" ”

"Report!"

A herald ran panting: "Qi Yu right commander, the grain and grass have been attacked, and they have burned into a fire, and the baggage battalion is rescuing, but there are not enough manpower, so I ask for support." ”

"What?" Pumins's face changed greatly, if the grain and grass were burned out, what would the 100,000 army eat? That's the only food, and if it is burned, there is no place to replenish it, and when the time comes, there will be no need for the Tang army to attack, and he will have to go back to ashes.

"Bastard, quick, except for the defense force at the head of the city, everyone else is going to put out the fire." Pulmins hurriedly ordered.

The herald hesitated for a moment, but still stubbornly said: "Right marshal, the county guard mansion was blown up, and the third prince was ...... It was buried in it, and none of the guards near the county guard were spared. ”

"What...... What? Pu Minsi's face was instantly gloomy, the guards who stayed in the county guard mansion were all clan soldiers, and their own henchmen were gone, and thousands of people were gone?

"What kind of means is this, what a powerful force!"

Unable to help it, Putmins looked in the direction where the shells were flying again, and when he saw that he did not continue the attack, he was a little relieved and shouted: "Order, collect the troops!" ”

Pulmins had already realized that the attack just now was an offensive, and if he did not withdraw his troops, he would continue to shell.

Although the battle outside the city has the upper hand, it is not easy to completely annihilate the opponent, and the artillery bombardment will definitely continue if the troops are not collected, and the artillery bombardment must be solved first, otherwise this battle is dangerous.

The herald said yes and hurried away.

A veteran general next to him said worriedly: "Right Shuai, the Tang Army's attack methods are strange, I have never seen it, it can actually fall from the sky, and it can be launched from a distance, I don't know what it is, it must be destroyed first, otherwise it will be difficult to hold, if it is lost here, it will inevitably bring a chain reaction, and the second prince of the crisis will be there." ”

"What do you suggest?" Of course, Putmins understood the reasoning and asked rhetorically.

The other party hurriedly said: "It's better to let the soldiers outside the city rush out, don't go back to the city, look for an opportunity to attack, once the cavalry masters the maneuver, be flexible, maybe have a plan." ”

The city is stubborn, can not be excited, once rushed out, the cavalry becomes erratic, elusive, I have to say that this proposal is very good, Pumins was a little moved, but quickly thought of something, frowned and said: "No, the attacking troops have not carried grain and grass, and everything that can be eaten within a radius of a hundred miles has been collected by our army." ”

The veteran sighed and stopped talking.

Pumins also regretted it a little, he knew that he shouldn't have cleared the wilderness in this way, and looted all the food around, and if he didn't eat, the cavalry couldn't survive for two days, and he didn't need to fight at all.

"Hugh!" Suddenly, a shrill whistling sound came.

Pulmins quickly turned his head to look, only to see a black thing flying by, extremely fast, before he could see what it was, he saw a fireball rising from the city gate, followed by a loud bang.

"Quick, send someone to check on the situation." Pumins's face changed drastically, staring at the direction where the shells were flying, seeing that he did not continue the attack, but he did not dare to let go of his heart, and wanted to go over to check in person, but he was afraid of being exposed and attracting an attack.

After waiting anxiously for a while, the person who ran to check the situation returned, and said anxiously: "Qiqi Right Shuai, the east gate has been blown open, but the opponent has no intention of attacking, please instruct." ”

"The gates were blown open?" Putmins was shocked, realizing that he still underestimated the power of the explosion, and the heavy city gate was actually blown open, wouldn't the city be undefended, and the enemy could kill him at any time?

Thinking of this, Pumins panicked, and no longer had the confidence he had before.
