Chapter 807: Be Captured Alive
At the same time, Xu Shiji and Wei Chigong also received Li Yong's report, they couldn't help laughing when they heard the news, this is really a surprise, they were worried that Li Yong's attraction was not enough, but now they couldn't help but sigh, Li Yong's attraction to Songtsen Gampo is even greater than they imagined, Songtsan Gampo actually personally led the troops to come, if they can capture or kill Songtsan Gampo, then this expedition can be described as flawless, the herald quickly spread the news throughout the army, Immediately shouts began to be raised in all the battalions.
"Capture Songtsen Gampo alive!"
"Kill Songtsen Gampo!"
"Take the head of Songtsen Gampo!"
It's a pity that these shouts are not neat, and most of the Tibetan people can't understand Chinese, they just feel that it is noisy everywhere, and Songtsen Gampo also feels very noisy, frowning and asking in a deep voice.
"Barzan, haven't they come back yet?"
"Qi Zampu, General Barzan sent someone to report, the gate of Xinghai City has been opened, and the Shenji Battalion is out of the city to line up, General Barzan asked Zampu, should he withdraw the army or attack the Shenji Battalion military formation!"
Songtsen Gampo's brow, which had been frowning, finally relaxed, and he said with a look of surprise.
"What? The gates of Xinghai City were opened? Haha, Li Yong actually took the Shenji Battalion out of the city, so what are you waiting for? Order Barzan to immediately attack the military formation of the Divine Machine Battalion, and be sure to capture Li Yong alive! ”
Barzan led 20,000 troops to attack the city, but attacking the military formation of the Shenji Battalion, Songtsan Gampo felt that the firearms of the Shenji Battalion were indeed powerful, but they were powerful in defending the city and attacking the city, if it was a field battle, it would be possible, field warfare, cavalry was an invincible existence, if he personally led the troops, he even felt that he didn't even need 20,000 troops, only one 10,000 troops could rush the military formation of the Shenji Battalion, Barzan's ability to lead the troops was not bad, and there were two complete 10,000 people in his hands, So he was full of confidence and expectation in Barzan, he knew that the other three armies were encircling, he knew that this encirclement was getting tighter and tighter, and the difficulty of breaking through was getting bigger and bigger, and this was the best time to break through, but he didn't care, because he had full confidence in the breakthrough, no matter when, no matter how far the three Tang armies were encircled, even if the three armies gathered together, he could lead the army to break through, so he would rather wait, wait for Barzan to give him the good news, and at the same time guard against the cavalry raids of the other three armies, Ensuring that Barzan's 20,000-strong team would not be attacked on his back, Barzan was waiting patiently, and at the same time making final preparations for the attack, because he felt that Zampu would definitely agree to let him attack the Shenji Battalion military formation, he was silently calculating the scale and interval of the artillery firing on the city wall, through the siege of the city these days, he already knew it, so after he silently calculated, he had already calculated how much loss he would suffer under the artillery bombardment when launching a charge, fortunately, the loss was not unacceptable, If the cavalry is scattered a little more, the casualties will be reduced a lot, after all, once the cavalry charges, the speed is not comparable to carrying a ladder, he thinks that the artillery on the city wall can only attack one round!
"General Barzan, Zampu has an order, ordering you to immediately lead the troops into the military formation of the Broken God Machine Battalion, and be sure to capture Li Yong alive!"
The herald said in a sonorous voice, and Barzan sat upright and bowed slightly.
"Please go back and report to Zampu, the last general will definitely be captured by Li Yongsheng in front of Zampu Ma!"
The herald bowed, and then slapped his horse away, Barzan raised his eyes and looked at the Shenji battalion in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but stir, what a great credit it would be to capture Li Yong alive and sacrifice it in front of Zampuma? The great achievement is at hand, it can be said that it is within reach, Barzan said in a loud voice: "Brothers, what are we attacking the city for so many days? Just to capture Li Yong alive! And now, Li Yong is in the military array in front, as long as he defeats the military formation of the Shenji Battalion, he can capture Li Yong alive! ”
"So, what are we waiting for? Brothers! Rush with me! Capture Li Yong alive and dedicate it to Zampu! ”
"Capture Li Yong alive! Dedicated to Zampu! ”
"Capture Li Yong alive! Dedicated to Zampu! ”
"Rush!"
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing resounded throughout the field, and the charge of 20,000 cavalry seemed to be like the sky was falling apart, what else could overwhelm such a huge movement, there was! The artillery fired in unison, enough to make the heavens and the earth silent, this time the artillery fired without reservation, Xinghai City was like a hideous beast, finally showing all its fangs, when the cannon sounded, Barzan felt a little wrong, why is this artillery sound louder and denser than what he heard before? When the city was attacked before, the artillery of Xinghai City was not such a large scale! Could it be that when they attacked the city before, Xinghai City still kept a hand? Not all the artillery was used? For a while, Barzan couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart, and he didn't know how many hands Li Yong had left, if he continued to attack the city, he didn't know when he would be able to capture it, it was really insidious! But what if it was to become more artillery on the city walls than expected? Although the losses were not small, they were bigger than expected, but they still survived after all, and the next thing was to attack the military formation of the Shenji Battalion, and then capture Li Yong alive! Rush! Rush! Victory is at hand! The big thing is just around the corner! Barzan knew that if he wanted to attack the military formation of the Shenji Battalion, he would have to rush through the attack of the muskets, and he also knew that the muskets were powerful, but so what? Now they are not carrying a ladder to attack the city, but charging on a war horse, but they can rush to the front of the Shenji camp in an instant, just when he was thinking so, suddenly, an earth-shattering sound sounded in his ears again, this is the sound of artillery, how could the sound of artillery sound on the city wall so quickly? However, this is indeed the sound of artillery, he saw that the cannonballs fell among the charging cavalry, saw a lot of cavalry people on their backs, another round of artillery attacks, and now the losses of the army have far exceeded his expectations, what makes him chill in his heart is that the interval between artillery attacks is too much, far shorter than the siege of the city, he suddenly has a bad premonition in his heart, there will not be another round, right? Barzan waited worriedly while controlling his horse and charging, and sure enough, the roar of the artillery sounded again, and it was another round of artillery attack, Barzan's eyes were split, three rounds of artillery attacks, and it was a more intensive artillery attack than expected, which made him frightened, what a great loss the army suffered under the three rounds of artillery attacks? He didn't even want to think about it! After three rounds of artillery, the sound of artillery stopped abruptly, but the formation of the two 10,000 people who charged had already become scattered, if you look at it from the city wall, you can find that the two 10,000 people seem to look like a thousand holes, Xue Wanche with the cavalry behind the two wings, he looked at the Tubo people in the distance charging against the artillery, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's too miserable, the Tubo people are too miserable!"
After seeing the power of muskets and artillery again, Xue Wanche understood one thing, even if no matter how brave a person is scum in front of muskets and artillery, there is no need to say that artillery is definitely not something that can be resisted by the naked eye, even if it is a musket, it is not a mortal fetus that can resist it with the naked eye, if it is a bow and arrow, Xue Wanche still has the confidence to be able to knock it off or flash it, even if he can't beat it, he can still rely on the armor on his body to resist, but the musket really can't be knocked off or flashed, and the armor can't be carried, so, Whether the Tubo people are really brave or boastful, there is no difference under the firearms, only the part of being beaten, in fact, after three rounds of artillery attacks, the two 10,000 people of the Tubo people have suffered a lot of losses, and they have not yet broken up, they are still charging, it has been proved that the strength of the Tubo people is indeed good, no wonder they can defeat the Tuyuhun, if the general cavalry would have been dispersed, of course, it is only because the Tubo people are attacking the city these days, and they have become numb after experiencing I don't know how many times the artillery bombardment, but, After three rounds of artillery attacks, even though the Tubo people have not yet broken up, they are still continuing to charge, but the formation has been chaotic, and the morale has plummeted, so Xue Wanche feels that even if there is no musket array, now he is charging with cavalry, he can defeat these two 10,000 people in one fell swoop, Li Yong rode on a horse and quietly watched the charge of the Tubo people, watching the three rounds of artillery fall among the Tubo people and brought huge casualties to the Tubo people, seeing that the formation of the Tubo people has become scattered, Li Yong felt very relieved, the cavalry charge was very fast, In such a short period of time, it was difficult for the artillery on the city wall to complete three rounds of fire, which was the result of their hard training every day, and the observers next to them were constantly counting with binoculars.
"Two hundred and fifty steps! Two hundred and twenty steps"
"Ready!"
The first row of musketeers half-crouched and raised their muskets, the second row of musketeers raised their muskets upright, and the Tibetan cavalry in front of them was galloping, although the formation was already a little scattered, but it still had an overwhelming momentum, as if the mountains were falling! It was like a flood, but their hands holding muskets were always calm and powerful, and what was the most taboo thing for musketeers? When facing the enemy's charge, they can't bear the pressure to shoot in advance, the rhythm is chaotic, and they will be defeated, so they must obey the order, since they entered the Shenji Battalion, the first military rule they learned is to absolutely obey the order!
"Put!"
As the commanders shouted in unison, all the musketeers in the first and second rows immediately opened fire!
"Squat!"
After firing, the musketeers immediately crouched down and began to quickly reload the gunpowder, without even looking up to watch the results of this round of volleys, at this moment, they had only one thought in their hearts, that is, to quickly reload the muskets, and when the second row of musketeers crouched, the third row of musketeers immediately raised their muskets.
"Put!"
"Squat!"
After three rounds of artillery bombardment, Barzan could clearly see the musket array of the Shenji Battalion, and at the same time he also understood that he would soon experience the attack of muskets, and when attacking the city, they had already learned the power of muskets, the range was very long, and the distance was very large, but now he was not sure how many rounds the muskets could fire, because Li Yong was too insidious, and sure enough, the muskets came as scheduled, and the firepower was fierce, and the siege was even fiercer, because when charging, the muskets were more dense, Barzan kept charging, he saw that there were people in front of him who kept falling, that was his personal guard, he knew that his personal guards were wearing battle armor, but he still couldn't resist in the face of muskets, although he couldn't look at the situation of the entire army, but he didn't know that the salvo army in the face of muskets must have suffered great losses, even greater than a round of artillery bombardment, although it paid a lot of casualties, but the army was still constantly charging, the speed of the charge was extremely fast, and it was getting closer and closer to the musket array, closer, closer, As long as you hold on for a while, you can rush to the front of the Shenji Battalion, and the muskets of the Shenji Battalion can continue for another round? Just when he was thinking like this, he suddenly found that the sound of muskets didn't seem to stop, or only a small stop, and the sound of muskets was endless, which made Barzan's heart tremble, the musket array could keep releasing guns, who would have thought before? During the siege, the muskets on the walls always stopped.
Li Yong is so insidious!
"Rush!"
"Hold on a little longer and rush over!"
"The Divine Machine Battalion can only be slaughtered by us!"
Barzan cheered loudly while controlling the horse, although his voice was not heard by many people in the galloping army, closer, closer, Barzan could see the people of the Shenji Battalion clearly, and he could also see the musket in the hands of the Shenji Battalion, it turned out that the strange-looking stick was the musket! As long as you rush to the front of the formation, see how you can resist? Just as Barzan was thinking this, the muskets stopped abruptly, and the muskets disappeared! The Shenji Battalion actually stopped shooting, have they already given up resisting? Could it be that Li Yong is ready to surrender? Even if Li Yong wants to surrender now, he has to kill Li Yong and capture Li Yong alive, otherwise he is sorry for those brothers who died in the charge, at this moment, Barzan's heart was agitated, they rushed over, under the bombardment of three rounds of artillery, against the non-stop musket array of shooting, finally rushed over, even if there were heavy casualties, his 20,000 people did not break up, and rushed forward bravely, and the next thing is to harvest the first level and harvest the victory!
"Rush!"
"Kill!"
Not only Barzan's heart was agitated, but the charging Tibetan soldiers were all in good spirits, just now they really felt that one foot had entered the ghost gate, and now they finally rushed over, and then, it was their turn, the musketeers stopped shooting, but they did not panic at all.
"Get on the bayonet!"
"Reject the horse!"
With the sound of clicking, all the musketeers were very calm and quick to load their bayonets, and then ready to resist the horses, although they mainly shot from a distance, but they did not panic for close combat, because before becoming musketeers, they were infantry, and after entering the Shenji battalion, they did not lack training.
