Chapter 1302 The Flood Collapses the City and Destroys the Country
The fierce fighting sounded all night, and the city was covered with blood.
Li Xuan stood on top of the watchtower, staring closely at the city gate to the south.
A drizzle of rain fell directly from mid-air, as if to disperse the impending killing, but the gates remained closed.
"Marshal, it's three o'clock in the hour." Wang Dezhen stood behind Li Xuan with a solemn expression.
"Nie Zhusong has completely lost." Li Xuan turned around and said softly: "Order, open the dam and discharge the flood!" ”
"Whoa!" Wang Dezhen held a red pennant high in his hand, and waved it down vigorously under the solemn gaze of Xiao Siye, Hei Zhi Changzhi and others.
On the dam in the distance, Wei Hongji bowed, and then forcefully pulled out a wedge from the mechanism beside him.
The next moment, the hammer at the top of the mechanism smashed down instantly.
The hammer slammed into the dam body, and the dam body under the hammer suddenly tilted.
Like a horizontal plank, it was directly washed straight by the current in an instant.
"Bang bang bang!" Almost instantly, dozens of dam bodies instantly straightened, like a sophisticated instrument, and the immeasurable flow of water suddenly rushed through the dam and slammed into the city wall in the distance.
……
The Luoqi River, the Longqu River, and the two rivers burst at the same time in an instant.
Under the precision calculation, the huge flood instantly hit the city fiercely, and then with an even more turbulent wave, along the passage that had been dug a long time ago, it slapped fiercely towards the southwest corner of the city.
This section of the wall had withstood countless rolling stones and fireballs in the previous months.
It was already covered with numerous cracks.
However, because it was already in the thickest place, it looked quite stable for a while, so that the Tubo people couldn't strengthen it if they wanted to.
But now, the fierce waves of water crashed against the city wall, and at this moment, a huge roar sounded between heaven and earth, and there was even a faint flash of fire in the water waves.
With a "boom", in an instant, the southwest corner of the city wall collapsed completely.
The soldiers standing in the southwest corner of the city wall, before they could see clearly, had already followed the masonry and smashed directly into the water.
Smash into a huge wave.
Everyone who saw this scene was stunned.
Whether it was the Tubo people or the sergeants of the Tang Dynasty, everyone was stunned.
Although Li Xuan has always said that the accumulated flood can break down the city wall, not many people believe it.
At least they thought that even if a flood hit the wall, it would take a long time to smash it with a catapult.
But at this time, the city wall had just been hit by the flood, and it immediately collapsed, and under the impact of the flood, they could even rush directly into the city by boat.
Before, many people thought that Li Xuan's target was the city gate, but at this moment, all the city gates around the city had been completely blocked by bluestone.
In order to prevent Li Xuan from rushing in using various methods, the Tubo people completely blocked the city gate, but they never thought that the southwest corner of the city wall would completely collapse.
All of a sudden, the torrent rushed directly into the city, and the situation collapsed instantly.
……
Li Xuan looked at this scene calmly, the moment the water waves impacted, the roar was indeed higher than expected, but the collapsed city wall suddenly suppressed the sound again.
At that moment, a glimmer of fire could indeed be seen in the distance, but it was not obvious, and even made people think that it was some kind of bright reflection.
Of course, there will be sensitive people who will suspect something, but ......
There was a "choking" sound, and the long sword was unsheathed.
"Gentlemen." Li Xuan's clear voice sounded in the heavens and the earth, and countless soldiers instantly looked at him with solemn expressions.
The sharp long sword was held in his hand, and under the rain and mist, the sharp sword light fell into everyone's eyes.
Li Xuan said loudly: "The Tang Emperor decreed: Tubo has no virtue, the heavens hate it, the heavens abandon it, and the heavens will punish it."
Today, Tibet, the sky is extinguished.
Ladies and gentlemen! ”
All the soldiers, in an instant, held the weapons in their hands tightly, and their breathing couldn't help but hold their breath.
"Gentlemen, the merit of destroying the country is right in front of you, take it as much as you like." The long sword in Li Xuan's hand slashed forward.
The sharp voice seduces people's hearts.
In an instant, a warship had already rushed out directly from the Longqu River and rushed towards the gap in the city wall.
In the blink of an eye, more warships appeared, and in the rough tide, they rushed into the city of Raksha with unusual agility.
The soldiers on the war boat had red eyes, and they wanted to take Tibet completely at once.
The merit of destroying the country, the merit of destroying the country.
Even if you don't mention the court reward, these four words alone are enough for them to boast about it gloriously for a lifetime.
Even if this kind of person returns to his hometown after completing his service, he is also a character who must be properly provided for by the local government.
In the camp, countless soldiers stared at the sailors who had rushed into the city, their eyes full of envy and jealousy.
Right guard, water army.
It was Li Xuan's direct subordinate, and it was the navy he had been honing since he was in Jiangnan.
For a whole summer, the navy army did not really make meritorious contributions, and their goal was today, right now.
The first to rush into the city of Luoqi, the first to suffer the most crazy counterattack from the Tibetans, and the first to have the best chance of completely taking the Tibetan palace.
Potala, Potala, today, you are going to fall.
……
The sound of fighting resounded incessantly in the city, and the surging tide was still rushing into the city, and the water wave seemed to completely submerge the entire city.
More warships appeared on the water, and the soldiers in the large camp began to quickly board the ships, and then directly entered the city through the gap, quickly occupying all the passes in the city.
The Tubo people in the city did not react at all.
……
"Shaofu, why are there so many big rivers in Tubo, and there hasn't been any shipping industry developed over the years?" Li Xuan turned to look at Wei Hongji, who had just rushed over, his eyes were full of curiosity.
Wei Hongji bowed his hand slightly, and said: "The lower officials have inquired, how many years have been the shipping industry in Tubo, it has also been carried on sheepskin rafts, and there was a period of prosperity in the middle, which was the time when Her Royal Highness Princess Wenchang and Songtsam were reconciled, and later Songtsan died of illness, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty became enemies, and many Tang craftsmen fell ill or died, and the shipping industry in Tubo gradually declined. ”
"I see." Li Xuan nodded slowly, the prosperity of Tubo originally depended on the books and craftsmen that Princess Wencheng brought when she got married.
Since Songtsen's death, Tubo and the Tang Dynasty have become hostile, and a lot of knowledge that has not yet been absorbed has immediately declined.
Standing on the towering watchtower, Li Xuan looked sideways, the stagnant water in the Longqu River and the Luoqi River had just released a shallow layer, and more water had turned into a roaring water dragon rushing into the city, and the Tubo people had completely lost the initiative.
Beyond the city wall, Li Xuan could clearly see the battle situation in the city.
The warboat rushed into the city, and immediately followed the current, heading straight for the white palace wall on the Red Mountain.
Most of the houses on the west and south sides of the city have already burned down, and if you enter the city, you will immediately see the Red Mountain and the royal palace.
The Tubo soldiers stationed around couldn't help but rush up when they saw the battle boat entering.
Once the Tang people killed into the palace, then the whole of Tibet will really be finished.
However, although the water began to spread after rushing into the city, it also hindered the movement of the Tibetan soldiers.
The longbow in his hand was even more stable because he couldn't stand firmly, and he spread it steadily.
But on the opposite warship, the crossbow arrows like a rain of locusts had completely flown up.
In an instant, it penetrated countless bodies, leaving only a piece of corpse in the water.
Yan Tao withdrew his longbow and stood on top of the fast boat, with uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.
The power of destroying the country, the striker is him.
Yan Tao gestured, and in an instant, countless fast boats spread out in all directions.
Looking at that, it seems that the entire Red Mountain and the entire Bu Dara Palace are completely surrounded.
The Tibetan soldiers in all directions immediately jumped straight to their feet like rabbits, and even if they jumped into the water, they rushed towards the Red Mountain, ignoring the army outside the city.
It is also true that the enemy has already invaded the city, and now what is the point of defending the city at this time.
On the top of the watchtower, Li Xuan saw this scene, and his eyes immediately narrowed: "Order, the foot soldiers will attack the city and occupy the city wall." ”
"Whoa!"
……
The sound of fierce fighting suddenly sounded on the city wall, and the Tubo soldiers who had no intention of fighting were quickly defeated and retreated on the city wall.
Soon, the West Gate and the South Gate completely fell into the hands of the Tang Dynasty.
When the city gate was finally opened, the reinforcements of the Tubo people also rushed to the bottom of the red mountain from the east and north gates where there was no water.
After all, there is no water in the East and North Cities.
"Order the right leader to lead, and the right guard to immediately arrive under the north gate of the east gate, cooperate with the city to open the city gate, occupy the city wall, and no one is allowed to escape in this city." Li Xuan looked sideways, and Hei Tooth Changzhi and Shi Yan immediately gave up.
"Order, enter the city, it's time for us to meet the Tubo lord for a while." Li Xuan turned around and walked towards the bottom of the arrow tower in an instant.
The other generals immediately followed, and by the time they reached this point, they were only one step away from destroying Tibet.
That is to catch the lord of the Tibetan country.
The war boat was prepared early, and a thousand elites from each department had already waited for the war boat, and then went directly to the city in the turbulent water.
These warboats, in addition to their flat bottoms, have three wheels underneath them, allowing them to move smoothly in shallow water.
In this way, even if the flood water spreads through the city, it will not let the war boat run aground.
……
Under the black daxuan, Li Xuan was dressed in black clothes and black armor, pressed the eight-sided Han sword in his hand, took a war boat, and entered the city of Luoqi.
In an instant, in an empty area, a white palace city appeared in Li Xuan's eyes.
There was no need for Li Xuan to say anything, the other generals had already followed the pre-set plan and quickly killed in all directions.
The black daxu continued to move forward, and under the misty rain and mist, it finally came to the outside of the palace wall.
Looking at the collapsed outer city gate, a sneer flashed at the corner of Li Xuan's mouth: "It's really bold, you dare to build it in imitation of the palace." ”
"So they deserve to die." Wang Dezhen stood on the other boat, together with Xiao Siye on the other side, parallel to Li Xuan.
In front of them is the white palace wall, and inside the white palace wall is the inner city of the Tubo Palace.
In the inner city, it is the half-empty place of the Tibetan court.
The ministers of state, the ministers, and the military government are all in the inner city.
In the deepest part of the inner city, there is the tall Red Mountain, and on the top of the Red Mountain, is the palace with white walls.
The Tibetan king Chidu Songtsen was there.
Now, the inner city walls have been completely attacked, and there are bursts of fighting in the city.
Li Xuan crossed the city wall and entered the inner city, and the soldiers on his side had already swarmed and killed in all directions.
With the arrival of reinforcements, the sound of fighting in the inner city quickly subsided.
It was at this time that Li Xuan was killed under the palace.
Raising his head, he seemed to be able to faintly see the figures of countless Tubo ancestors collapsing.
……
"Shaofu, you say, are they still in the palace now?" Li Xuan looked at the palace hall above, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"The prince suspects that there is a secret passage to the outside in this palace." Wei Hongji suddenly became solemn.
Li Xuan glanced back at Wei Hongji, there are similar secret passages in Chang'an and Luoyang, how could there be no Tubo Palace.
Li Xuan spoke: "Order, Zuo Qianniu Weilang will lead Zhou Qian to Heyuanwei, and the right Wuwei will search outside the city, and those who have escaped from the city will be arrested immediately, but in case of resistance, kill!" ”
"Whoa!" Zhou Qian immediately gave up his hand, and then turned around and left in an instant.
Li Xuan raised his head again, and countless feather arrows fell densely from above, even if he was a brave soldier, he couldn't climb up for a while.
"Command, throw stonecarts, use poisonous fireballs." Li Xuan's voice was very soft, but the response around him resounded in the sky: "Obey." ”
