Chapter 114: Battle in Songzhou (Part 2)

The city's offense and defense are the most difficult in the war. Both the offense and defense are not feeling well. Life and death are also the most direct and fastest. A huge rock falling from the sky, an arrow shot from the slant, and a can of boiling oil poured on the ladder... are all deadly killing weapons. Among the crowds, all the people who flock to the crowd were only lucky. Good luck, blessing the gods, unharmed, unlucky, bad luck, and you will be beaten with two steps, and you will die in pain and fast.

As the general waved the flags again and again, the stone-throwing cart threw the huge rocks of enveloping sizes to the head of Songzhou City, falling all over the sky, like a divine punishment. The Tubo soldiers on the city wall tasted the taste of fighting with the Tang Dynasty for the first time. There were countless Tubo soldiers standing on the city wall. Because they heard about the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty's soldiers for a long time, Tubo dared not neglect. The entire city wall was covered with soldiers to the greatest extent. Unexpectedly, the opening remarks of the Tang Dynasty were actually a rain of arrows and huge rocks. The people on the city wall were too crowded. Even if they watched the huge rocks go straight to their heads, they could not avoid it. After screams, countless people turned into a pool of vague flesh and blood corpses.

The Tubo generals were shocked to realize the mistake of the deployment of the city guarding the city and hurriedly ordered most of the soldiers to leave the city. After a panic, the Tubo people paid the price of thousands to learn how to avoid the Tang army's long-range weapons.

Niu Jinda said nothing wrong. The general's ability to win battles is all due to human lives, and both the enemy and us are the same.

The rhythm of siege on three sides was consistent. Hou Junji, Liu Lan and Niu Jinda were all famous generals who had experienced hundreds of battles. They had a tacit understanding between them, as if they had calculated the time. After the stone-throwing cart poured the huge rocks on the Songzhou city wall for more than half an hour, they suddenly stopped throwing stones on all sides. The Tubo soldiers were terrified. The sound of drums came from outside the city. Rows of neat Tang army soldiers finally came out, and everyone held a horizontal sword and long spear and wooden guns in their hands. Like an ant nest, they rushed towards the city wall in black. Every ten steps, someone carried a long cloud ladder and jumped into the moat without hesitation, putting the cloud ladder on both sides of the river...

The Tang army soldiers all over the mountains and fields shouted and killed, and huge waves swept towards the city head hard like slamming the shore. The Tubo soldiers at the city head were not willing to be outdone. When the Tang army was more than 100 steps away from the city wall, they ruthlessly pulled their bows and arrows to kill them. The attack and defense tried their best to slaughter the other's lives to fight for their own vitality.

…………

Li Su stood beside Niu Jinda, which was specifically instructed by Niu Jinda that Li Su was not allowed to run around during the battle, and his range of activities was stipulated to be within ten feet of the radius of the Central Army's commander's flag.

Aside was a huge cowhide drum, rumbling constantly. The yellow sand on the ground under his feet jumped uneasily with the rhythm of the giant drum. Li Su watched the Tang army soldiers rush across the moat one after another, rushed to the city wall, and climbed up like a desperate situation. The soldiers below kept using crossbow arrows to cover it. The Tubo soldiers used hook and sickle spear to push the ladder away, or simply poured a layer of boiling tung oil on the ladder. Li Su watched countless Tang army soldiers fall to the ground from a ladder that was more than ten feet high. Or were poured on their bodies by tung oil, and screaming like fire all over their bodies fell to the dust...

The tragic and cruelty of the war. Li Su saw it with his own eyes today. His heart beat faster than the drum beat. The screams of every Tang army soldier could cause his cheeks to twitch violently.

The central army was several miles away from the city, and Li Su seemed to smell a strong and vomiting smell of blood, mixed with countless screams. The peaceful and peaceful border town was now in purgatory.

I wonder if there are Wang Zong and Wang Zhi in those brave siege teams. If there are really them, what is the chance of their survival in such a cruel battle formation?

Li Su had to worry that the Wang brothers were not strangers. They were the first friends they made after they came to this world. They were not related to each other and did not bring any trouble, but he just felt that he was responsible to them.

One round of energy will fade and then decay and then exhaust.

Half an hour later, Niu Jinda, who was standing under the Central Army Commander, sighed and shook his head and said, "No, I can't capture this time, so it should be the same on the other two sides. It's time to scream gold."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of Dangdang's roaring gold from the east and north from the east. Niu Jinda's guess was right. They were all famous generals who had experienced many battles. When should advance and when should retreat, every general had a size in his heart.

Niu Jinda nodded and waved his hand indifferently: "Send the order to whistle the golden gold!"

The huge waves swept across the city as fiercely as the shore, and retreated quietly like a tide. Thousands of Tang army corpses were left under the base of the Songzhou city wall.

Li Su's heart was still hanging for a long time and never let it go.

The siege lasted only half an hour. Obviously, this was the first test of the three generals' commanders against the power of Songzhou's defending city. The failure was naturally as expected by the three generals.

However, thousands of lives will eventually pass away forever in this first temptation.

After the war, there were corpses everywhere in the sea of ​​blood.

Several teams of Tang soldiers walked out of the front and approached the city wall, trying to collect the remains of the robes. After about a hundred steps, another rain of arrows came from the city wall. The soldiers had to grit their teeth and take back the remains that were closer. As for the ones under the city wall, they could only wait until they captured Songzhou City before collecting them.

Li Su looked at the bodies being carried back, so while Niu Jinda was not paying attention, he sneaked to the place where the bodies were placed, searching one by one. After searching for a long time, he found that there were no brothers in it. Li Su was temporarily relieved.

The first siege failed, and the Tang army retreated ten miles to camp.

Niu Jinda summoned the generals to discuss strategies for siege. Li Su secretly ran out of the central army and first went to the crossbow camp of the front army to take a look. He found that Wang Zhi had not taken the battle today, but followed the veteran to get familiar with the battlefield. So Li Su went to the Modao Team again. When he found Wang Bao, he found that he was intact, so he completely relieved.

"Is the second child okay? Is the second child okay?" Wang Zong's face was a little pale. When he saw Li Su, he hurriedly asked: "The Huo Chang is not allowed to leave the camp. I can't find out about the second child..."

"The second child is fine. I went to see him just now. He was jumping around and was practicing targets with the veteran. Don't worry." Li Su hurriedly comforted.

Wang Bao breathed a sigh of relief and his face gradually returned to its original state.

"Did you go into battle today?" Li Su asked.

Wang Zong shook his head: "The Huo Chang said, the general manager will not use the Modao team easily unless it is time to decide the victory or defeat. Today is just a test and we will definitely not be able to use it. I am only worried that the second brother will use it at any time. And the first one will appear in each battle..."

Li Su was very confused and kept repeating meaningless comfort: "Don't worry, he's fine..."
