Chapter 40: Breaking into the city

The battle was at a fever pitch from the start.

Due to the lack of wood, it is impossible to build large siege equipment, but there are some simple wooden ladders.

The Tibetan army poured into the western wall of Cyruburg, and on the one hand, they used simple wooden ladders to attack the city, and on the other hand, they used hundreds of oars to form a tight shield wall to cover the slaves from digging the gap in the city wall.

The Tang army at the head of the city fought back with rifles, crossbow arrows, or rolling logs and stones.

From time to time, stones were poured down, and then torches were thrown, and a sea of fire was suddenly plunged under the city walls.

The shield wall of the Tibetan army and the Tubo slaves hiding under the shield wall were also buried in the sea of fire in an instant, and from time to time there were Tubo slaves rushing out of the fire with a wail, scurrying around with a body of flames.

But soon these slaves would die at the hands of Tubo Guiben.

Then more Tibetan slaves were driven up and continued to dig the gap.

The battle was extremely fierce, and the Tibetan army was attacking Selüburg almost regardless of casualties, only trying to cut a gap in the shortest possible time and break into Selüburg.

The whole process was recorded by Lu Xiaoning with a camera.

Lu Xiaoning deliberately gave a lot of close-ups of the Tubo army.

In these shots, the fierceness of the Tubo army is vividly displayed.

It has to be said that it is no fluke that Tubo can become the only great unified regime on the snowy plateau and fight back and forth with the Tang Dynasty in its heyday.

……

Seeing the waves of slaves buried in the fire, Dobusan, who was standing in the back to supervise the battle, was also very distressed.

Although these are just slaves, they are also property, and the Tibetan slaves are the property of the nobles, and this time they have paid too much to capture Cyruburg and open the passage to the small Bolu Kingdom.

Fortunately, as long as you take Xiao Bolu, these can be made up.

At that moment, Dobsan shouted: "Whoever is the first to enter Cyruburg shall be rewarded with ten oxen, twenty horses, and a hundred sheep, and a female slave, and ten female slaves!" ”

The herald immediately galloped forward with Dobusan's arrows and flying horses.

A moment later, the Tibetan army cheered like a tsunami.

In the cheers, the momentum of the Tibetan army was more vigorous, and the offensive was also more vigorous.

At one moment, there was a sudden click on the western walls of Seluburg.

Immediately, the wall that had been repaired yesterday collapsed again.

With the collapse of the city wall, a huge amount of smoke and dust filled the air in an instant.

Seeing this, the Tubo elite soldiers who were on standby dozens of steps away suddenly let out louder cheers.

Before the smoke and dust cleared, Dobusang suddenly urged his horse to dismount his crotch, and was the first to rush to the gap in the city wall.

Thousands of Tibetan elites who had been waiting for a long time also wielded all kinds of weapons, rushing to the gap, and the first to enter the city could get ten cows, twenty horses and one hundred sheep! And slave girls, ten slave girls!

The god of Yala Chambord is above, protect me!

……

Tian Zhen led 5,000 Tang troops to a mountain beam ten miles away.

At this time, the smoke and dust shrouded in the gap had been dispersed by the wind, and looking down from the mountain beam, it was just right to clearly see the Tibetan army swarming in from the gap in the western wall of Sellupburg.

Seeing this, Tian Zhen almost fell off the horse's back.

Or is it a step too late? The Tibetan army has broken through the city?

Now he was really miserable by Bian Lingcheng's eunuch.

The army of Feng Jieshuai arrived at Xiao Bolu, and the first one could not spare him.

However, at this point, there was no choice but to immediately plunge into the counterattack with a tired army.

Originally, the army had gone through a night of rapid marching, and the men and horses were tired, and they had to rest for a while before they could participate in the battle after recovering their strength, but now there was no time.

"Pass my general's order, and all armies will attack immediately."

Tian Zhen completely ignored the lives of the soldiers and issued the order to attack.

The Anxi army, which was tired of men and horses, launched an attack head-on.

However, under the guidance of the sound of war drums and horns, the black-pressed Tang army flooded down from the low mountain beams, and then advanced along the open and flat valley of the Sail River.

Hopefully, Seluburg will be saved.

……

"That's Tian Zhen's Quy Nhon Army, right? It's only here at this point, it's late. ”

On the high mountain on the south bank of the Sailu River, there is a lookout of the Tibetan army.

At this time, the chief of Xiao Yangtong, Rao Miwo, Da Tan Pojeba, and the Living Buddha Odan were all on the lookout, and standing on the lookout, they could not only overlook Selüburg, but also see the Quy Nhon army more than ten miles away.

Of course, it is impossible to see only a rough idea, and it is impossible to see clearly.

Pojeba paused, and then said, "My lord, this battle is over. ”

"Hmm." Rao Miwo was also relieved and finally took Selüburg.

Taking Cyruburg not only means that the door to Little Bolu is opened, but also that the Tibetan army has regained the initiative in the Sylu River Valley, and it is a matter of time before the Tang army is expelled from the Little Bolu Kingdom.

……

However, in Cyruburg at this time, it was a different story.

The little sheep and the prince Dobusang really deserved the reputation of the Tibetan god of war, and when he was the first to rush into the gap, the smoke and dust had not yet dispersed, causing the war horse to step on the air and break the horse's leg, and Dobusang was also thrown to the ground.

But this did not affect Dobsang in the slightest, and he got up and rushed forward.

In the end, Dobusan was still the first to break through the gap and enter Seluburg.

However, when he stormed into Seluburg, Dobsan was a little dumbfounded.

Originally, he thought that after entering the gap, he would be greeted by the Tang army infantry who rushed to seal the gap, and the Han people who panicked and avoided in Cyruburg.

However, this is not the case.

At this moment, what appeared in front of Dobusang was ...... A two-person tall wooden fence?

Tang Jun actually knew that the gap would collapse, so he built a wooden fence early?

I saw that the whole wooden fence was semicircular, with a radius of about thirty paces, and the entire gap was enclosed.

What made Dobusang even more vaguely uneasy was that the Tang army had long been guarding the wooden fence, and it was not chaotic at all, yes, there was no panic at all, Cyruburg was breached, and the Tang army was not panicked at all, not chaotic?

However, at this point, it was impossible to retreat, and Dobusang could only rush forward.

Even if Dobusang didn't rush forward, Tubo Guiben, who was following him, would push him forward.

Inspired by yaks, horses, sheep and slave girls, the Tibetan warriors had already killed red eyes.

Sure enough, Dobusang only hesitated for a moment, and dozens of Guiben grabbed in front of him, and behind him, more Tubo Guiben swarmed in, and thousands of people quickly filled the open space in the gap.

Immediately afterwards, the Tibetan army launched a tidal attack on the wooden fence held by the Tang army.

Even the three-zhang high city wall was breached by them, let alone the one-zhang high wooden fence.

The Tibetan soldiers stacked people, directly set up a human ladder under the wooden fence, and stepped on their companions to launch a back-attack.

The Tang army guarding the wooden fence smashed down the huge rolling logs, causing the Tubo soldiers to cry and cry for their fathers and mothers, and fell to the ground one after another, and some were directly stoned to death.

The momentum of the Tibetan army suddenly stagnated.

By this time, Dobusang had nothing else to worry about.

At that moment, Dobusang shouted sharply: "Then rush, there are few Tang soldiers, as long as someone kills the wooden fence, they will be finished, all for this prince to listen to, the first person to kill the wooden fence will be rewarded with ten yaks!" ”

The Tubo army, which was already a little depressed, suddenly lifted its spirits again.

So the attack continued, the Tubo army continued to set up a human ladder to rush up, and the Tang army continued to throw rolling logs down.

After a moment of stalemate, the Tang Army's rolling logs seemed to have run out, and they began to throw hay down again, and in an instant, bundles of hay were thrown down.

Seeing this, Dobusang couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"The Tang Army has no rolling logs, haha!"

"These Han people are so stupid, they smash people with hay!"

"The first warrior to kill the wooden fence will be rewarded with fifty more oxen!"

The Tibetan army became more and more excited, and rushed up with their feet on the human ladder.

Seeing that he was about to kill on the wooden fence, a team of strange sword soldiers suddenly appeared above.

As soon as these dozens of demon-like Mo Dao soldiers appeared, they inflicted fatal damage on the Tubo army.

I saw that between the flickering cold light of the Mo knife, one after another the heads of the Tubo army fell from the wooden fence, including the Tubo god of war Duobusang, who was also beaten down.

Dobusang rolled over and got up from the ground.

Just as he was about to rush up again, Dobusang suddenly stared.

Then Dobusang roared hoarsely: "Quickly retreat, retreat, retreat......"

However, it was useless to let Dobusang shout to cut his throat, and the Tubo army crowded in the gap still had to move forward one after another, launching a tidal attack on the wooden fence guarded by the Tang army.
