Chapter 1269: A War I've Never Seen
It's not that the countries of South Asia haven't fought wars, it's just that they haven't seen such wars.
Shouldn't war be a hand-to-hand war in their minds? If it was a siege war, the other side should have something like a ladder, but how could this situation be completely different now?
When they first saw the Tang army, the reason why these soldiers were not in a hurry was because they didn't see the siege equipment in the Tang army, so they didn't worry about always thinking that the Tang army still had to transport these things, so the siege time might be pushed back.
Now in the midst of an explosion, they finally understand what is going on, it turns out that the Tang army doesn't need that kind of thing at all, and shows you a new kind of war, and in this new war, the original army has no power to parry at all.
With a loud bombardment, the soldiers on the city wall saw that the wall on the left side had collapsed, and there was a gap of about a few meters, but this is not the most important thing is that less than an hour after the start of the war, our city wall was blown up like this, if we continue to fight, what should we rely on to resist?
"Adult ......"
The people below all looked at the prefect, not knowing how to resist, and all of them were out of mind, even the smartest people didn't know how to deal with it now.
"Ah...... This and that......"
The prefect's mind was also a mess, he knew what to do now, he should keep his subordinates busy, so that it seemed that he was working hard, but he didn't know what to let the people below do.
There are also all kinds of objects prepared on the city wall, if there is a gap in the city wall, you must quickly throw it down and plug it, but it takes less than an hour to make a gap, and this gap is still increasing, what kind of thing should you use to plug it?
Take a hundred steps back, can you get through it?
"The Tang army didn't kill ......"
Someone on the city wall whispered, according to their previous understanding, when there was a gap in the city wall, the opposing army should be crazy to come to the gap, in order to be able to rush into the city.
But now the Tang army did not do this, they still shelled the city wall little by little according to the progress just now.
The prefect seems to understand that the Tang army is not in a hurry to attack the city, that is because they are not sure yet, there are still a lot of troops on the city wall, but with the collapse of the city wall one by one, the prestige of the Tang army is getting louder and louder, and our morale is slowly declining, and they are using this way to consume us.
Of course, the prefect can also take people out of the city to face the battle, but when the city gate opens, perhaps their defeat will be inevitable.
What's more, the prefect doesn't have that courage, he is not a real military general, he is just a temporary name, and it may be okay to defend the city, but if he is engaged in a field battle outside the city, he really has no chance of winning.
"Look...... sir"
Changes came one after another, and just when the prefect couldn't find the north, a large group of people came in the distance, wasn't it the Tang army or who? Where did they come from so many people?
According to Li Xiang's plan, except for the more than 2,000 people under Changsun Ze, there was no other army to help him attack Wacheng, so he could only rely on his own strength.
But the plan could not catch up with the big changes, and when we crossed the border, many cities took the initiative to open their doors and surrender, and the defenders inside were not stupid, and the army in the border area had been crushed.
The defenders of the city were not strong enough in combat, coupled with the might of the Tang army, they didn't have the kung fu to make themselves uncomfortable, so the rest of the army drove straight into the city and went directly to the city of Wacheng.
Changsun Ze didn't expect these armies to come over, and with their joining, Changsun Ze could attack the city from all sides, and as for the walls of the city, the collapse speed would be faster.
"Oh my god, why do they have so many of those things?"
"Is this going to kill us all?"
Panic began to spread, no matter what the situation of these soldiers turned out, whether they were heroic or cowardly, they were full of panic at this moment, because they had never seen this kind of fighting.
And the new batch of Tang soldiers seemed to be more elite, they didn't have any delay, they set up the cannons around early, and without waiting for the people on the city wall to react, the shells came from all directions.
The internal organs of the soldiers on the city wall seem to have been displaced, and many people's intestines have been blown out.
"My lord, why don't we come down!"
Someone has already brought it up, when they see the tragic appearance on the city wall, they really can't hold on, if we continue like this, we can only be blown up in the end, and there is not even a whole corpse.
When the prefect was about to speak, a cannonball exploded around him, and the prefect couldn't say his last word, and a piece of rubble from the explosion directly penetrated his head, and the guy couldn't say what he wanted to say.
"The prefect is dead......
If the prefect can still lead them to resist, maybe the people above can hold on for a while, but now we are just passively beaten, and we can't hit people at all, who is willing to resist, this kind of useless work, it is estimated that no one wants to do it.
"Open the gates and surrender ......"
Some people were blown up and couldn't stand on their feet, they only have one idea now, that is, to surrender as quickly as possible, if you don't surrender now, even if you are given a chance later, I'm afraid you won't have the strength to stand up.
Look at what has become of the entire city wall, there are bombed shell craters everywhere, and many of the walls are crumbling, if you don't hurry up and surrender, the whole section of the city wall will fall down in a while, and we people will be buried here.
Seeing that everyone was shouting for surrender, Changsun Ze asked his men to stop, and asked the local guide to shout at the city wall, telling all of them to come outside the city.
More than fifty cavalrymen quickly rushed to the city, their target was the Tang Hall in the city, and they held out for two or three days, I don't know what happened to their side.
As for the soldiers on the city walls, they all came out of the city in a line......
