This night was very peaceful, the Tubo army and the defenders in the city were safe, of course, both the defenders in the city and the Tubo army did not sleep very well, after all, the war will start, but anyone who has a little heart and eyes will not sleep steadily, but generally speaking, the spirit of the defenders in the city is better, after all, these days have been recuperating, relatively speaking, last night also slept more steadily, and the Tubo army has been marching these days, yesterday was a rapid march for a whole day, and last night I was worried about the night attack of the Shenji camp and did not dare to sleep peacefully, Lined up early in the morning today, Li Yong also slept very well last night, because he felt that the possibility of the Tubo army labor expedition launching a night attack was very low, after waking up in the morning, Li Yong was not in a hurry to go out, but had breakfast beautifully and then walked out of the city lord's mansion, riding a horse to the head of the city, the soldiers on duty last night had already withdrawn, and now the soldiers guarding the city wall were all in good spirits, and were looking eagerly at the outside of the city, Li Yong climbed to the top of the city and immediately looked outside the city, the outside of the city was really lively, No wonder I didn't receive any news from the city wall early this morning, it turned out that the Tubo people were not in a hurry to attack the city, but were busy cutting down trees, making ladders and other siege equipment, Li Yong said with a smile.

"Yes, the Tubo people are quite skilled in business."

Isn't it just about building siege machines? Xue Wanche didn't feel anything, he looked out of the city with his eyes, impatient.

"Why can't it be done, this speed is also slow, and I don't know if the Tubo people can attack the city today."

Li Yong was speechless when he heard it, and he didn't know that Songtsen Gampo knew that the soldiers on the city wall were so concerned about the progress of the construction of Tubo siege equipment, he should cry or laugh, in fact, Songtsen Gampo was also very anxious, and he was constantly urging, in fact, the manufacturing of siege equipment was already very fast, and it can be said that they were out of the usual level.

"Qi Qi Zampu, in one more hour, the ladder will be almost made!" The general in charge came over sweating profusely to report, after all, there are many people and there is great strength, and the progress of the manufacturing of the ladder is actually quite fast, so why is Zampu still not satisfied.

Songtsen Gampo looked at the sky, finally nodded with some satisfaction, and said in a deep voice.

"Order Zaji Yangba to take five thousand horses to test it, press the speed, don't be too fast!"

With the issuance of the order, a cavalry team of 5,000 people left the army and slowly marched towards Xinghai City, Li Yong and others on the city wall were about to doze off, and the Tubo people who had been calm finally had a movement, Li Yong couldn't help but lift his spirits, and then saw a cavalry of several thousand people slowly advancing, obviously, this is the temptation of the Tubo people, but what made Li Yong very speechless is that this is still more than ten miles away, Songtsan Gampo actually began to test more than ten miles away, this is also too cautious, I didn't expect, You turned out to be such a Songtsan Gampo, Xue Wanche scolded directly.

"Bullshit is brave and good at fighting, he is simply cowardly as a mouse, is there such a temptation? It's still more than ten miles away, and it's as scared as a grandson! ”

Li Yong lay on the city wall very leisurely and said with a smile.

"It's good, anyway, aren't we just delaying time, and sooner or later there will be a battle when the army is encircled, as long as Songtsen Gampo thinks he can drag it out, then take your time, pass on the general order of this duke, all artillery must not be fired, and after the enemy cavalry enters the range of muskets, listen to Bengong's command and then shoot!"

It's just 5,000 cavalry, and he didn't even bring siege equipment, so he didn't need to be nervous at all, so he wanted to trick him into firing the cannon with such a temptation? What do you think? The military order was quickly conveyed, and the artillerymen who thought they were alive just now suddenly lost their spirits, but the musketeers were energetically checking the muskets and ammunition, although they had been very bored to check many times, the five thousand cavalry outside the city were constantly advancing, but the defenders on the city wall had not moved, at first there was no movement on the city wall, Songtsen Gampo was quite happy, but with the five thousand cavalry continued to advance, he couldn't help frowning, The defenders on the city wall never reacted, was it because the tentative cavalry still hadn't come into the range of the artillery, or because Li Yong didn't want to react? In fact, the tentative cavalry has entered the range of artillery, but the artillerymen on the city wall just watched leisurely, however, the musketeers have already put the muskets on the city wall and began to aim, the speed of the cavalry's advance is not fast or slow, and soon entered the range of the muskets, a group of musketeers have clenched the muskets in their hands and are ready to shoot, but they have not heard the military order to shoot, Li Yong is still lying on the city wall and looking at the Tubo cavalry that is gradually approaching, until they have advanced another twenty or thirty steps, That's what he said.

"Shoot the herald!"

Suddenly, the muskets rang out! In fact, the Tubo cavalry under the city were all nervous, but when the muskets rang out, they had no way to dodge, all this happened too fast, and the screams followed, and then the Tubo cavalry fell in the screams, only more than a thousand horsemen fled like frightened rabbits, this result is not strong, Li Yong couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, this result is not surprising, because the tentative cavalry of Tubo is lined up very closely, and was set on fire by the musketeers on the entire section of the city wall, Although it was only one round, this lethality was enough for them to lose more than half, Xue Wanche laughed.

"I'm afraid that there are not two thousand horsemen on the corpse on the ground, and many of the cavalry who went back were injured, what kind of temptation is this, this is obviously sending people up to die, Songtsen Gampo is simply stupid!"

Songtsen Gampo has been frowning and observing carefully, when he heard the sound of firearms, he squinted his eyes and wanted to see more clearly, however, because the distance was too far, so he couldn't see clearly at all, and he could only see that the cavalry sent to the temptation fell more than half at once, although the cavalry of the temptation was very slow when he advanced, but the escape was very fast, seeing that only more than a thousand cavalry came back, Songtsen Gampo, who had been frowning, became a little ugly, and sent five thousand cavalry to the test, losing more than half, As a result, nothing was tested, no range or power of the artillery, only a volley of muskets was seen, but it was too far away to see clearly.

"What about Zajiyangba? Let him get over! ”

Songtsen Gampo shouted.

"Zampu, Zajiyanba is dead!"

There was a herald galloping back and forth.

Songtsen Gampo was so angry when he heard this, he even died in battle! The main general died in battle, but Songtsen Gampo did not feel regret at all, but was very angry, he felt that Zaji Yangba was simply a stupid pig, muskets and artillery were long-range shooting, just like bows and arrows, Zaji Yangba did not even let his subordinates scatter some, isn't this a live target for the defenders on the city wall? Zajiyangba died on the spot, and if he came back alive, he would have to behead him.

"Bring someone alive and ask them how far they are from the walls and what they have found."

Songtsen Gampo has no good airway.

"Qi Zampu, they were about a hundred paces away from the city wall when they were attacked by enemy muskets, the enemy muskets were very powerful, the rate of fire was very fast, and nothing else was found."

Songtsen Gampo was very disappointed when he heard this, and this time he didn't try anything, but he lost thousands of horses in vain, Saamu said fiercely.

"Li Yong is really cunning, he didn't even use artillery!"

Songtsen Gampo said in a deep voice.

"It seems that Li Yong is still very calm, and he has not lost his square inch when our army is in the city."

Saamu hurriedly said.

"Zampu, why don't you personally lead five thousand horsemen up and test it again?"

Songtsen Gampo shook his head slightly.

"It's useless, the cavalry went up to test, Li Yong didn't care at all, he wouldn't give the order to open fire, he would only wait until he got close and shoot with a musket."

Saamu asked.

"Zampu, what then?"

Songtsen Gampo said in a deep voice.

"Attack the city directly, and order Sang Yiba to lead 10,000 people to carry the ladder and scatter the siege!"

Immediately, a herald went to give the order, Sang Yiba led 10,000 people to dismount and carry the ladder one after another, scattered the formation, and slowly advanced, on the city wall, Li Yuntian smiled while holding the binoculars and observing.

"It's been inking for so long, and it's finally starting to siege!"

However, Xue Wanche couldn't help but pout and said depressedly.

"Carry the ladder from more than ten miles away, and when they reach the city, we should all eat!"

Feng Lishun shouted.

"In the future, no one will say in front of me that the Tubo people are brave and good at fighting, and the Tubo people are the most timid people I have ever seen! It's still more than ten miles away, and it's as scared as a turtle crawling! ”

The surrounding soldiers all laughed, although the Tubo people had begun to attack, but the soldiers did not have any nervous atmosphere at all, in addition to self-confidence, it was also because the Tubo people were so amused, Li Yong muttered.

"The Tibetan people are a little too cautious, do you say it could be because Songtsen Gampo is in the army? After all, he is the king of a country, and he must be more desperate for his life, and before figuring out the range and power of artillery, he does not dare to lead the army forward, and it is not good to hide behind the army. ”

Xue Wanche said suddenly.

"It's very likely, if Saamu is the one who leads the troops, then Saamu is not afraid of being blamed by Songtsen Gampo when he passes it back? Only when Songtsen Gampo came in person could he be so blatant! ”

Li Yuntian, Feng Lishun and other generals suddenly became like wolves when they heard this, Songtsan Gampo, if you kill or capture Songtsan Gampo alive, what a great merit it is? Not only is it a great achievement, but it can also go down in history, after saying this, the Tubo people who carried the ladder to attack the city were finally about to enter the range of artillery, Li Yong said with a smile.

"Regardless of whether Songtsen Gampo came or not, the Tubo people have already sent hors d'oeuvres, ready, the artillery does not have to be fired at all times, and the cannons are fired at intervals!"

"Come on, let's surprise the Tibetans!"

The artillerymen silently calculated the distance, and finally, the Tubo people carried the ladder for so long and finally entered the range of the artillery.

"Fire!"

All shots! In an instant, the sound of artillery resounded in all directions, and the solid cannonballs fell among the Tubo people, making the Tubo people fly in all directions, and the high-speed cannonballs were still ejecting after falling to the ground, shooting out of a bloody road with huge momentum, not only the attacking Tubo people suffered a lot of losses, but also the ladder of the siege was also hit by the artillery, and the artillery continued to roar, as if there was only the roar of the artillery between heaven and earth, even if it was more than ten miles away, the roar of the artillery was still deafening, Although Songtsen Gampo let the generals calm the hearts of the people in advance, but when the artillery began to roar, the Tubo army still inevitably had a lot of commotion, fortunately, the army was far away from the city wall, so although it caused a lot of commotion, but it did not cause any chaos, Songtsen Gampo has been squinting and waiting, and finally waited for the roar of the artillery, this time he sat on the horse and saw it quite clearly, saw the range of the artillery, saw the power of the artillery, heard the roar of the artillery, even if he had been prepared, When a hundred cannons were fired, he was still suppressed, Songtsen Gampo looked ahead with blazing eyes, and sighed with emotion.

"So this is artillery? It's amazing! So far range, and so powerful! Terrible! Awesome! ”

Now he finally understands why the Tang Crusade will be so smooth, why Goguryeo will be vulnerable, why his great minister Lu Dongzan is so afraid, artillery is really a weapon for attacking the city! If they have artillery in Tibet, then the Tang City will be useless in the future! At this moment, Songtsen Gampo's heart was agitated, and he was even more determined to capture Li Yong's thoughts, and the generals such as Saamu next to him were also shocked by the sound of artillery, so when they heard Zampu's sigh, they almost didn't fall off their horses, the artillery is indeed very strong, but now they are attacking the city, doesn't the stronger artillery mean that the siege is more difficult? Songtsen Gampo said in a deep voice.

"Order them to collect their troops!"

At this moment, the 10,000 soldiers who attacked had already suffered heavy losses, and immediately there were heralds who rushed forward to give orders, and even the army that was more than ten miles away was shocked by the artillery, not to mention the soldiers who carried the ladder to attack, they really felt the power of the artillery, if it weren't for the strict military orders, they would have run away, and the people who were hit by the artillery died too miserably, and now when they heard Mingjin withdraw the troops, they immediately ran back with the artillery, as if there was a wolf chasing behind them, When they ran out of the range of the artillery, the sound of the artillery also stopped abruptly, the world was quiet, even the panicked war horses just now quieted down, just now the soldiers of Tubo were breathing a sigh of relief, and now they finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then they couldn't help but talk about each other, most of the soldiers actually couldn't see the scene ahead, but this sound made people feel panicked, now, the range of the artillery was finally completely exposed, Songtsen Gampo said in a deep voice.

"Order, the army advances, prepare for the official siege!"

The army began to advance, and there were many more siege ladders than before.
