Under the sudden bombardment of the cannons, I saw dust and flesh flying outside the city, fragments of stumps flying all over the sky, and one arrow tower after another was torn apart and collapsed. The vast majority of the Tibetan army had never seen such a terrible weapon, and when they were suddenly bombarded, they couldn't help but be frightened and dumbfounded. Songhyuk's face was pale, his eyes widened, his expression was extremely frightened, and he couldn't help but exclaim, "This, what is this?" ”

Duo Sang frowned and said, "This is the cannon of the Yan Yun Army!" Like thunder, like lightning, the power is overwhelming! Songhyuk exclaimed: "This is a cannon!?" It's even more powerful than the legend! Then he frowned, "Why has Yan Yunjun's cannon been transported?" ”

Seeing that the first round of bombardment was effective, it caused a lot of damage to the enemy, but the firepower was somewhat scattered, and most of the arrow towers were not destroyed, so he ordered the artillery team: "Concentrate fire on the arrow towers!" ”

The artillery team immediately adjusted, and concentrated on the jungle-like arrow tower, and in an instant, the thunderstorm and lightning roared, and the jungle-like arrow tower collapsed one after another, and the fragments fell from the sky, and many Western Xia soldiers below were smashed to death and injured.

Enraged by the power of his opponent's artillery, Sonhe ordered heavy catapults to return fire in an attempt to suppress his artillery. The heavy catapults of Tubo once again roared, only to see countless boulders flying towards the city wall, tearing through the air with a loud rumbling sound!

The boulder rain fell from the sky, smashed on the ground, dusty, smashed on the city wall and broke bricks and danced, but there were still many boulders falling into the siege troops of Tubo, and in an instant, flesh and blood flew everywhere! The breakthrough siege troops were panicked and hurriedly retreated, so as not to be accidentally injured by their own stone artillery! The accuracy of the ancient heavy weapons was very poor, and they could only hit in one direction roughly, and it was impossible to be accurate, and the Tibetan siege troops were too close to the city wall, so it was normal to be accidentally injured by their own stone artillery.

Boom, boom, boom, boom......! There was another thunderous bang on the city wall, and the fire dragon gushed. Before the Tibetan soldiers could react, those black shadows slammed into the middle of the formation, only to hear a loud rumbling sound, most of the hundreds of heavy catapults were torn apart, and many sergeants were also shattered.

When everything calmed down, all the soldiers of the army were shocked, and were shocked to see that most of the hundreds of heavy catapults at the front of the army formation had been destroyed, and at the same time, hundreds of soldiers had died, and those who did not die were lying in the blood and singing softly in pain, and some soldiers hurriedly rushed forward to rescue their wounded comrades.

Duo Sang said with a pale face: "How could it be, how could it be ......"

Seeing that Duo Sang's expression was different, Song Hyuk hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Duo Sang said: "We also encountered the cannon of the Yanyun Army back then, but it was not so powerful, according to my memory, it was impossible for the cannon to hit this hillside." Songhyuk frowned, pointed to the scene in front of him, and asked angrily, "You said you couldn't fight, so what's going on?" Dosang couldn't answer the question at all. In fact, Duo Sang's words are not wrong, if it is the previous kind of artillery, it really can't be hit, but the artillery equipped with this artillery team in front of him is not the old kind of artillery before, but a new type of artillery produced in the ordnance field recently, the gun body is longer than the old gun, and the simple rifling is also drawn in the gun chamber, which increases the maximum range of the artillery. Of course, the Tibetans did not know about these circumstances.

At this moment, a thunderous noise came again, and the Tibetan soldiers had already seen the great power of the cannon, and then they heard that kind of loud noise again, and they were shocked and hurriedly looked ahead. Seeing countless black shadows flying with heart-rending screams, his heart was horrified, and he turned around and ran backwards, the cannonballs had not yet fallen, but the military formation of the Tubo army had been shaken. The cannonball crackled and fell into the crowd, only to see the flesh and blood flying in the crowd, screams and exclamations, a shell smashed the head of a soldier, hit the ground hard, and then a bullet flew high and fell into the crowd on the other side, and two more people were killed!

The Tibetan army hurriedly retreated and returned to the barracks. Songhyuk was annoyed, and the generals looked dejected. Songhyuk turned around sharply and scolded angrily: "Damn, the trap was carefully set, but before the enemy army came out, they forced us back with artillery!" Zhan Dui frowned and said: "Yan Yunjun's artillery is so powerful, we can't get close to the city wall at all, and this battle can't be fought at all!" All the generals nodded their heads, and they all felt that what Zhan Dui said was reasonable.

Duo Sang pondered: "Not really...... "Zhan Dui was furious, and said angrily: "You have a way again!" Duo Sang ignored Zhan Dui and said to Song He: "Although Yan Yunjun's artillery is infinitely powerful, it will not turn after all," and everyone looked at each other, not understanding what he meant. I only heard Duo Sang continue: "The terrain outside the eastern city is very high, and we can take advantage of the terrain to accumulate soil into mountains and approach the city wall for a long time. Although the Yanyun cannon is powerful, it can't hit us who are doing business behind the mountain. As long as the earth mountain is close to the city wall, we can rush into the city in one fell swoop, and in close combat, no matter how powerful the cannon is, it is useless! ”

Song He nodded again and again, his face was full of joy, and praised: "Okay, this method is better than the previous method of digging traps, just do it!" Duo Sang said: "General, once the enemy's artillery cannot be used to develop its power, it will inevitably send cavalry out to raid, so the previous arrangement cannot be removed." Songhe nodded, "Of course. After thinking for a while, he said to Duo Sang: "Since you have come up with this method, then it is up to you to pile up the mountains of soil." Dosang bowed and promised. Zhandui saw that Duosang was getting more and more reused by the general, and he felt very uncomfortable.

That night, the Tubo army harassed the Yanyun army on the one hand, and began to work on the hillside outside the east city, digging the soil to pile up into a mountain, and then carrying the soil from the back of the mountain, dumping it in front of the mountain, so that the soil and stones in front of the mountain gradually piled up, and finally formed a whole with the soil mountain, and the Tubo army advanced and continued to dump the earth in front of the mountain, and so on, the earth mountain began to slowly approach the city wall from the slope outside the east city. ……

At the same time, in Xuanhua Mansion in the west, more than 5,000 Tibetan elites disguised themselves as Yan Yunjun's army, waving the banner of Yan Yun, and came to the West City Gate under the cover of night. The leading general was one of Ngawang's subordinate generals named Shan Zeng. Shan Zeng rode out of his horse, raised his head and shouted to the city wall: "I am a subordinate general under General Yang Yanzhao, I have come here to reinforce, quickly open the city gate!" It turns out that this Shan Zeng had followed his father to the Central Plains to do business for several years, so he was very proficient in Chinese, and he was basically no different from the Han people.

A middle-aged scribe dressed in a scribe's robe appeared on the city wall, with three strands of long hair and fairy bones, which really had the demeanor of Zhuge Liang back then. This person's name is Huang Zong, originally the most important strategist under the command of the Yang family, since the Yang family army was framed by the imperial court in the first battle of Erlang Mountain, he was disheartened and left the army and returned to his hometown, and later heard that Yang Yanzhao and Yang Jiajun had taken refuge in Yang Peng, the king of Yan, and a heart that was already disheartened and lazy couldn't help but move, about half a year ago to Yang Yanzhao's camp to express his willingness to return to the banner, Yang Yanzhao was very happy, even if he recommended him to Yang Peng. Yang Peng didn't know who Huang Zong was, and heard that since he was once a strategist of the Yang family's army, he simply sent him to Yang Yanzhao to join the army. After Yang Peng occupied Xuanhua Mansion, according to Yang Yanzhao's suggestion, Huang Zong was left to guard the key point of Xuanhua Mansion.

Huang Zong looked at the city and asked, "Who is the general?" ”

Since Shan Zeng pretended to be a general of Yanyun, he naturally did his homework, and when he heard the question, he immediately said loudly: "I am Niu Ben, the commander of the Qingzhou battalion. "The Qingzhou battalion is an army in the directly subordinate legion, and most of the members were adapted from the puppet army that year, and this commander Niu Ben was a general in the puppet army that year. Niu Benqiren, although he is a member of the directly subordinate legion, but his usual merits are limited, and he has no outstanding performance, so there are not many people who recognize him, and Shan Zeng does not pretend to be someone else but pretends to be him, so he naturally takes a fancy to this.

Huang Zong didn't doubt it, clenched his fists and raised his voice: "It turned out to be General Niu Ben, I have been looking up for a long time!" Shan Zeng said angrily: "Hurry up and open the city gate!" "Okay, General please." Immediately, Huang Zong turned his head and gave an order to his subordinates. A moment later, the gates creaked open.

Shan Zeng suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and led his five thousand elites to pour into the city gate. After entering the first gate, it was the city of urns, and all the soldiers of the army rushed straight to the second gate, and after the second gate, it was the city. Yan Yun was obviously defenseless, and the Tubo people had the chance to win.

Shan Zeng led the army to the second gate. Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the iron gates of the two city gates actually fell at the same time. Shan was startled and quickly reined in the war horse, and the others also stopped.

At that moment, shouts erupted all around, and the light of the torches illuminated the night sky into day. The Tibetan army trapped in the urn city panicked. Shan Zeng still had hope in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Lord Huang, what do you mean by this? Open the gates! ”

Huang Zong appeared on the head of the city not far away, and sneered: "Fanbang barbarians, actually play this kind of trick, but unfortunately it is Dong Shi Xiaofeng, painting a tiger is not an anti-dog!" "Although Shan Zeng is familiar with Chinese, he has limited knowledge of the words and allusions of Wen Crepe, he doesn't know what Dong Shi Xiaofeng is, and he doesn't understand what it means to 'draw a tiger is not an anti-dog', but when he heard Huang Zong's tone was not good, he felt that what the other party said was definitely not a good word.

Shan Zeng shouted: "Lord Huang, don't make such jokes, open the city gate quickly!" Huang Zong laughed and mocked: "At this time, I still don't know whether to live or die!" Then he raised his right hand, and when the soldiers on the surrounding city walls saw this, they immediately raised their crossbows and aimed them at the urn city. Seeing this, Shan Zeng knew that there was no luck left, pulled out his waist knife, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, kill with me!" The panicked Tubo soldiers heard Shan Zeng's scream, and subconsciously roared and rushed towards the gate of the outer city, trying to open the gate and escape.

Huang Zong's right hand slammed down to the next room, and the soldiers immediately pulled the trigger, and the rain of arrows flew towards the urn city, and at the same time, another soldier threw the rolling stone and wood into the urn city, and the rumbling sound was endless for a while; The Tubo army was in the urn city, with nowhere to escape, nowhere to hide, until it was smashed by rolling stones and wood, and there were countless people who were killed by strong arrows, and the screams were loud.

Countless soldiers of the Tibetan army poured into the city gate, competing to raise the iron gate. At this moment, there was a loud noise in the hole in the doorway, and countless fire oil was poured down, and the Tubo soldiers in the doorway were crowded together and could not move. Immediately a torch fell from the hole above, only to see the fire in the crowd of people flashed, and then the flame spread rapidly, in a blink of an eye, all the Tubo people in the door hole were drowned, the terrible screams were thrilling, the Tubo soldiers were terrified and had to retreat from the door hole, many of the burning people who were burned by the flames ran out of the doorway, screaming and running around, other Tubo soldiers hurriedly dodged, and the already chaotic scene was even more chaotic.

The rain of arrows and rolling stones and trees around them continued to fall, and the Tibetan soldiers could not dodge or fight back, and fell in a pool of blood, which was simply a one-sided massacre. More than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Busang Division, who were hiding outside the city and waiting for Shan Zeng to seize the city gate, saw that their soldiers and horses were locked up in the urn city and beat the dogs, and they were anxious, so they immediately ran out of the hidden place and ran to the city gate. Immediately, the Tibetan soldiers set up a simple ladder under the command of Busang and rushed towards the city wall.

Suddenly, a fire lit up in front of him, and countless Yanyun soldiers appeared on the top of the city. The Tibetan soldiers under the city wall were shocked. A Yanyun officer raised his voice and shouted, "Attack! "When the rolling stone and sassal wood rushed down, smashing the flesh and blood of the Tubo army soldiers under the city wall, the screams resounded, and at this time, the screams in the urn city were still loud, and the screams in the two places could be said to complement each other.

The Tubo army outside the city was attacked head-on and hurriedly retreated, and the Yanyun army stopped using the rolling stone and took up a strong crossbow to shoot. The sound of arrows breaking through the air was endless, and the Tubo army outside the city that was retreating fell to the ground one after another, and the soldiers of the Tubo army were already flustered, and they were even more frightened at this time, and the whole army quickly became chaotic.

Frightened and furious, Bousan slashed several officers who had fled one after another, and shouted, "Don't retreat!" Those who dare to retreat will be killed! The hearts of the soldiers of the Tubo army were in a pang, and they stopped retreating, and the momentum of the rout was immediately stopped.

Seeing that there were not many soldiers of the Yanyun Army on the city wall, Busang raised his voice and shouted: "There are not many enemies on the city wall, don't be afraid, attack me!" The first person to climb the city wall will be rewarded with 100 taels of gold! The Tibetan army gathered up their fighting spirit and rushed towards the city wall with a shout. The defenders of Yanyun shot arrows desperately and threw rolling stones and trees desperately, causing a lot of casualties to the Tubo army, but this time the Tubo army was already mentally prepared, fearless, and rushed up bravely.

A Tibetan officer climbed the city wall and shouted and wanted to jump off the wall to kill Yan Yunjun, but several spears stabbed him from different directions and flew him out. The Tubo soldiers kept appearing on the wall, but the Yanyun army was tightly defended and always slashed the outcropping Tubo soldiers at the first time.

Suddenly, a Tibetan officer climbed to the top of the city, killed the attacking Yanyun soldiers, and then jumped off the city wall and rushed into the Yanyun army. Seeing this, the surrounding Yanyun soldiers came to help, the two sides fought fiercely in the city, flesh and blood flying, the soldiers on both sides continued to fall in a pool of blood, at this time, whether it was the Yanyun army or the Tubo army, they were all red-eyed, entangled like beasts and fighting fiercely, a rain of swords and blood!

After all, the combat power of the Tubo army is not as good as the Yanyun army, and it was gradually suppressed by the Yanyun army, but the Tubo army at this end was suppressed, and the Tubo army in other places rushed to the city.

At this moment, Huang Zong commanded the soldiers on the city walls around the urn city to suspend the attack on the enemy troops in the urn city, and turned to the Tubo army on the outer city. Huang Zong ordered the herald beside him to strike the gong, and the loud sound of boring and boring immediately spread. Yan Yunjun, who was fighting with the enemy on the outer city wall, heard this sound and immediately retreated. When the soldiers of the Tubo army saw that the Yanyun army had retreated, they were greatly excited, shouting and chasing and killing.

Suddenly, there was a loud buzzing sound, and before the soldiers of the Tubo army could react, they were shot down in a large area. The Tibetan soldiers were shocked, and looked in the direction where the arrows were fired, only to hear another loud buzzing sound, and the strong arrow wind blew the torches and flames. With a loud crackling sound, the Tubo army on the city wall was shot down a lot, and the remaining Tubo army was also frightened and panicked, and they wanted to escape from the city wall, but they collided with their own army that wanted to enter the city, and they couldn't go up and down for a while.

Knock knock knock...... The war drums of the Yan Yun army suddenly sounded, and the Yan Yun soldiers who had just retreated roared and rushed back, slashing and slashing the enemy frantically. At this time, the momentum of the Tubo people has been discharged, under the crazy counterattack of the Yanyun army, it seems that there is no resistance, one by one a pair was cut down, the Tubo soldiers rushed to escape from the city wall, and those who could not escape were hacked to death, in a hurry, many Tubo soldiers actually jumped off the city wall, the lucky only broke their legs, and the bad ones broke their necks, and a life could not be saved.

Seeing that he was almost able to break through the city defenses, Busang couldn't help but be annoyed. looked at the soldiers and found that everyone was stunned, and there was no longer the momentum just now. Boussan frowned and decided to continue the siege. At this time, a group of soldiers covered in blood and scars rushed over, and it turned out to be those soldiers trapped in the urn city. It turned out that all the soldiers around the urn city were sniping the Tubo army on the top of the city with strong crossbows, so the Tubo army in the urn city was no one to care, and the remaining Tubo army saw this scene, and hurriedly ran to the outer city gate, struggled to raise the iron gate, and escaped from the sky.

Busang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw the soldiers of the army who had escaped, and hurriedly asked, "What about Shan Zeng?" An officer said: "General Shan Zeng was smashed by a stone and his head is dead!" ”

Bousan was shocked. At that moment, the gates of the city were closed in the middle of the city. Busang and the others followed the prestige, only to see that Yan Yunjun had closed the city gate. Busang wanted to storm the city, but seeing that everyone's morale had been drained, he forcibly attacked, but he was afraid that it would be in vain. As soon as he thought of this, he ordered the troops to be collected and returned to the camp.

Just when Busang led his army to storm the eastern city, another Tibetan general, Ngawang, led the cavalry outside the southern city gate, preparing to wait until the eastern city gate was successful, and immediately storm the southern city gate, and attack from both sides to capture the city as quickly as possible. However, he led his army to wait outside the south city gate for a long time, but he did not see the east city gate being breached, and finally the sound of fighting actually calmed down. Just when Ngawang was uncertain, Boussan's herald came and informed Ngawang that the attack had failed to become an anti-Chinese trap. Ngawang was so angry that although he would stop in the near future, he could only lead his cavalry to retreat temporarily.

The two Tibetan generals returned to the tent one after another, and Ngawang angrily asked Busang, "What's the matter?" Boussan sighed and gave a brief account of what had happened. When talking about the news of Shan Zeng's killing, Ngawang was furious and scolded: "Damn Yanyun people! When the Xuanhua Mansion is breached, I will definitely kill them without leaving a piece of armor! ”

Busang frowned and said, "The enemy army is not many, but it is extremely cunning and fierce, and it is really not easy to break through the city!" Ngawang snorted and said, "Since this plan has failed, we will storm and make noise tomorrow morning!" I don't believe that we won't be able to capture Xuanhua Mansion with our troops! Busang frowned and said: "I don't know what the situation is on the general's side, I hope we can capture Xuanhua Mansion before the general breaks through Xiliang Mansion!" Ngawang said: "This is not the crux of the problem, the crux of the matter is that we must capture Xuanhua Mansion before the Yanyun army arrives!" Otherwise, together with Yan Yun's army, the entire battle situation will only be reversed! Boussan nodded approvingly.

Ngawang suddenly moved, and said to Busang: "I remember that we have a large amount of gunpowder given by the great general in our hands?" Bousan then remembered, nodded and said, "Yes, there are hundreds of catties, and I forgot about it!" ”

Ngawang said: "Tomorrow morning, when we storm Xuanhua Mansion, we will concentrate all the gunpowder under one city gate, and then, boom!" He made an explosive gesture with his right hand. Busang's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "What kind of city gate can't withstand the explosion of hundreds of catties of gunpowder, this plan will definitely succeed!" Ngawang commanded: "Go down and prepare at once!" Boussan answered and hurried down. ……

The next day, as soon as it was dawn, the earth was shaken by the sound of the Tibetan trumpets and war drums. Huang Zong received the news, hurriedly came to the east city wall, looked out of the city, and saw that tens of thousands of Tibetan troops were lined up on three sides in the southeast, north and south, and saw that the city was about to be attacked. Huang Zong frowned, and ordered all teams to prepare for battle, and at the same time ordered that gunpowder and oil be transported to the city wall.

The three drums of the Tubo people sounded, and then I saw 10,000 Tubo troops pushing all kinds of siege equipment while shouting towards the city wall, at the same time, there were also 5,000 Tubo troops outside the north and south of the city to press towards the city wall, and the Tubo people planned to attack on three sides and go down with a drum!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
