Chapter 72 The first battle(1/2)
Dongdongdongdongdong~
The light arrows of dawn pierce the sky.
Under the blue, countless golden lights are like brushes scribing colors on the horizon.
Strong and hot.
With the sound of the Tang army's war drums.
From the west, east, north, three directions, the Tang army slowly approached from far to near, towards Luoshecheng.
To the east is the Tang army camp led by Su Dingfang, with a population of about 20,000.
To the west is the Anxi Protectorate, led by the Tang general Wang Fangyi.
A total of more than 40,000 people.
In the north, the strongest military formation was the vanguard army led by Su Dawei.
There are more than 50,000 people in total.
Where did the 20,000 people go away? Among the Tang army, only Su Dingfang, Su Dawei and Wang Fangyi know.
Woo ~~
The desolate horn sound echoes on the plateau.
The eagle flaps its wings and flies.
The sound of war drums rumbled.
The city of Luoshe City also responded.
Countless Tubo generals ran to the city and hid their bodies under the marquee.
On the arrow tower, the best archer among the Tubo people had already inserted all the feather arrows on his body next to his feet.
This action makes it easier for them to grab arrows at any time.
If necessary, you can launch it continuously.
A stove was also erected on the top of the city.
A large pot was placed on the stove, and the strongly scented soup was boiled.
The yellow and black things kept floating in the boiling pot.
This is gold juice, which uses cattle, sheep, livestock and human feces, and the taste makes people vomit.
Although the smell is bad, it is a powerful weapon to defend the city.
When it comes to defending the city, Tubo is still a student of the Tang Dynasty.
In the past, Tubo was a shepherd, and he only knew the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed.
But today, Tubo is an empire and has tall cities. He can no longer follow the past gameplay, but must learn the Tang army's method of defending the city.
Three powerful tools for raping wood, gravel, gold juice, and defending the city.
"Hurry, hurry up! Everyone should keep their own position and stand in place."
"No one is afraid. The Tang people are not three heads and six arms. Our city is tall and they can't come up."
"Squat your body as you did during training and follow Shangguan's orders."
A foreign general held a knife in one hand and patrolled the city wall with a triangle flag behind him. He kept shouting and maintaining the military discipline at the city wall.
Suddenly, he heard a tsunami cry.
The Fan General was shocked and couldn't help but turn his head and look down along the gap between the battlements.
Did the Tang army start siege?
After looking, the army formations in three directions had not yet come up, and there was an arrow.
What's the point of shouting?
The Fan General couldn't help but mocked him in his heart: It was useless!
At this moment, he suddenly heard something seemed to be in the air.
Before I could take a closer look, I heard a "snatch" sound.
A thick wing shot into his eyes.
The Fan General fell down on his back.
The soldiers guarding the Tubo city around him screamed shrillly: "The officer is dead! The officer is shot to death by the Tang army's arrow!"
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes! There are Legend of the Condor Heroes in the Tang army!!"
"careful!"
"Hand up the shield!"
Amid the shrill shouts, the sky suddenly became dark.
The soldiers on the Tubo city rushed to raise the wooden shield beside them.
I heard a dense crackling sound in my ears.
It was as if the rainstorm was angrily beating Luoshecheng.
Screams came one after another.
Those were some idiots who were not as good as raising their shields and responded slowly for half a beat.
After a round of arrows, the Tubo soldiers had no time to breathe, and the second wave of arrow rain came again.
Then there is the third wave.
The three-wheeled rain of arrows has finished, and there is no place to stand on the top of the city.
The ground was filled with rain of arrows.
Countless Tubo soldiers screamed miserablely.
Some were shot through their thighs and blood flowed all over the ground.
Some were shot in the arms through the gap by arrows.
Some of the palms were nailed to the ground and could not move.
There was a wailing sound.
In front of the Tang army, Xue Rengui put down his giant bow and turned to Su Dawei beside him, saying, "The three-wheeled arrow shooting should have an effect."
"Send orders, siege."
"Come on the former general manager's order to start siege!"
Woo woo woo woo ~
The Tang army's powerful horns were blown up.
Liss stood in the chariot with his shirtless eyes, waving his drumsticks with his hands.
Dongdongdongdongdongdongdongdong~
Amid the sound of war drums, the vanguard in the north accelerated its pace, with about three thousand people breaking out of the military formation.
One thousand people are in front, one thousand people are in the middle, and one thousand people are in the back.
Three thousand people formed three small square formations and approached Luosie City.
This formation is a tentative attack.
Let's see how Luoshecheng reacts.
How much loss was there under the arrow just now?
If the city wall is slow to react, the Tang army will seize the opportunity and push the heavy troops up.
If the resistance is fierce, find other tactics, destroy the counterattack power of some cities, and wait for an opportunity to attack the city.
This is the first battle after the Tang army came to the Tubo capital.
The Tang army did not dare to bet on all its strength.
The Western Route Army and the Eastern Route Army of Su Dingfang were both left and right wings of the vanguard army, assisting in blocking the east and west sides of the Lusie City, and protecting the flanks for the vanguard army.
Beware that while the siege was halfway through, the Tubo reinforcements suddenly broke out.
Dongdongdongdongdong~
The war drums rumble.
The three armies shouted.
Flags cover the sky and the sun.
Among the pile of corpses on the top of the city, someone struggled to get up and shouted loudly in a foreign language: "Tang Army, Tang Army is coming!"
"Defense!"
To be continued...
