Chapter 783: Breaking the City in One Fell Swoop


Seeing that they could not escape, some Tubo people simply stopped, turned around, grabbed the sickle or weapon in their hands, and prepared to fight the Tang army's cavalry.

However, they soon discovered that they were wrong.

The people standing on the ground tried to knock the cavalry off their horses.

Unless the director deliberately arranged for the cavalry to have already adapted to the high speed during the sprint, but those standing on the ground did not adapt to this speed.

Before they could react, they were pierced by the cavalry in the chest.

They stopped running and turned to face the enemy.

They were stabbed to death or chopped to the ground.

Wherever the Tang army passed, they left behind large bodies of Tibetan people.

The hundreds of Tubo soldiers who came out of the city to meet the enemy were quickly drowned in the large number of Tang army cavalry.

Chu Ge led his soldiers to shoot arrows and kill all the way, cutting the Tubo army to pieces when they came out of the city to fight.

The soldiers of the drum band behind the Tang army had already blown the horns, and the desolate horn sound spread far and wide.

On the city wall, some Tubo troops saw the Tang army chasing behind a large number of Tibetans.

A Qianfuzhan shouted: "Close the city gate quickly, close the city gate!"

But immediately someone shouted: "It can't be closed.

There are still many people who haven't entered the city, so it can't be closed."

"Are you going to kill all of us?

We will all die when Tang Jun rushes in.

Close the door quickly."

A large number of Tubo people outside the city were running wildly and shouting: "Help, help, help!"

In order to prevent the Tang army from rushing into the city, the people in the city had to lock up all the Tubo people outside the city who had no time to escape into the city.

These Tubo people who did not escape into the city in time were quickly caught up by the Tang army.

Carrying out massive killings, the Tubo army on the city wall could only watch as their own people outside the city were killed by the Tang army.

A wave of arrows shot down from the city wall.

Chu Ge immediately waved his sword to deflect the arrows and retreated out of the range of the arrows.

He looked at the Tibetan army on the wall with a cold face and did not ask for surrender.

He shouted: "Are the infantry coming?"

The deputy general galloped forward, clasping his fists and saying, "General, the infantry can arrive in a cup of tea."

Chu Ge looked up at the sun and immediately ordered: "There are still more than two hours before dark.

Immediately send a team of people to cut down the trees and transport them for the craftsmen to build siege ladders.

This general must break through before dark."

Charge into the city and send three more battalions to block the other three gates and prevent them from escaping through the other gates."

The lieutenant general immediately made arrangements.

On the one hand, he sent a battalion of soldiers to cut down the trees, and he carried one as soon as he cut it.

He did not need to wait for others.

When the craftsmen arrived, they immediately started building siege ladders.

On the other hand, he sent soldiers and horses to surround the city.

Block the other three gates.

The time for a cup of tea passed quickly, and the following infantrymen rushed to the city on horseback.

The two infantry commanders rode up to Chu Ge and said, "General" Chu Ge looked at the situation at the top of the city and said to the two of them: "I estimate that there are less than a thousand Tibetan troops in the city.

I have just ordered people to cut down the trees.

I will immediately let the craftsmen build siege ladders and let the infantry soldiers We are ready to attack the city and build twenty ladders within an hour.

Once the construction is completed, the infantry will immediately attack the city.

I want you to attack the city before dark."

"Follow your orders" Dozens of craftsmen just jumped off the horse and received the task of building a siege ladder.

It is not difficult to build a siege ladder.

This thing is not a large siege equipment.

All the processes can be completed alone, but Beiting The army has long adopted assembly line operations in building siege equipment.

One craftsman was responsible for one process, and when the wood arrived, it took only one hour to complete the task of building twenty siege equipment.

The leader of the craftsmen immediately reported to Chu Ge: "General, twenty siege equipment have been completed."

Chu Ge immediately said after hearing this: "Okay, continue to build siege equipment.

General Chen sent people to transport these twenty siege ladders, and the infantry is ready to launch an siege."

Several people clasped their fists and said, "I obey."

"Dong, dong, dong" the war drums sounded.

A general rode on horseback next to a phalanx of archers, drew his sword and shouted: "Archers advance!"

"Boom, boom, boom" the archers marched towards the city wall in neat steps.

Approaching the city wall within a stone's throw, the general shouted: "Stop advancing and disperse, stay three steps apart, and scatter freely."

The archers dispersed, leaving a distance of three steps between people, and began to use their bows and arrows to aim at the Tibetan army on the city wall.

The Tang army's bows and arrows had a much farther range than the Tubo people's bows and arrows, even though the Tibetans occupied the city wall.

Although they had the advantage of being at a high place, they still could not hit the Tang Army archers.

The Tibetan Army soldiers who exposed their bodies were shot one after another by arrows.

Some Tibetan soldiers fell off the city wall after being shot, some fell directly to the wall, and some fell down injured.

The infantry general of the Tang Army under the city drew his sword and shouted: "The first echelon of sword and shield soldiers attacks, the second echelon does the attack."

Be prepared”

"Kill" the first echelon of Tang Army infantry, holding shields and waist knives, and rushed toward the city wall.

At the same time, twenty siege ladders were carried by Tang Army soldiers and rushed toward the city wall.

The Tibetan troops on the city wall were suppressed and did not dare to show their heads.

Once they did, there was a high possibility of being shot.

The Tang army's siege infantry rushed to the bottom of the city wall without any hindrance.

A series of siege ladders were set up on the city wall.

The military captains raised their sabers and shouted: "Go up!"

The sword and shield soldiers of the Tang Dynasty held their waist knives in their mouths, held their shields in their left hands, and grabbed the escalator with their right hands to climb up.

Some Tubo soldiers rushed to the wall and tried to fire arrows at the Tang army infantry who were climbing the ladder, but were quickly shot to death by the Tang army archers below.

The Tubo army did not expect that the Tang army would suddenly come here, so there were no arrows on the wall.

No equipment or supplies were prepared to defend the city, including kerosene, thunder stones, rolling wood, bed crossbows, etc.

Even if they were on a favorable terrain, they could not suppress the Tang army's siege army.

After suffering extremely limited casualties, the Tang army's siege infantry easily climbed up the city wall and fought with the Tubo army.

More and more Tang army infantry climbed up the city wall, and the limited number of Tubo troops were quickly driven away.

After getting off the city wall, the Tang army chased all the way to the bottom of the city and opened the city gate.

Outside the city, the general of the Tang army, Chu Gezhong, pointed his big sword at the open city gate: "Kill" "kill" The Tang army's cavalry rushed into the city like a black torrent.

The Tubo soldiers who were fleeing in the city were caught up and hacked to death.

In less than an hour and a half, all the Tubo people in the city were eliminated, even though Zhao Ziliang had previously ordered not to kill anyone in his hands.

The Tubo people had weapons, but the Tubo people did not distinguish between soldiers and civilians at all, and the Tang army officers and soldiers could not tell who were the soldiers and who were the civilians among the Tubo people, so they could only kill people when they saw them.

Unless they knelt down and raised their hands to surrender, it would be impossible for them to do so.

The fate of being hacked to death.

Chu Ge rode his horse to the Momen Military Envoy's Mansion with his soldiers.

He jumped off his horse and handed the horse to the soldiers.

He walked into the mansion and took a look.

There were some Han and Qiang people in the mansion.

These were former military envoys.

The cooks, servants, and maids of the house were also required to eat and drink after the Tubo people occupied this place, and they also needed slaves to do their work, so they did not kill these people.

Chu Ge looked at these trembling people and asked, "Were you all servants of this mansion before?"

"Yes, yes, General, may I ask who you are?"

Chu Ge said: "I am the former military envoy of the Beiting Army.

Marshal Zhao Ziliang of the Western Expedition Army and Prince Zhao sent me to lead the troops to recover the Momen Army.

You have suffered."

"Wow" everyone cried.

Chu Ge and the soldiers felt very sad.

Although the entire Momen military area had been depleted of troops, there were still many people there.

But now these people are gone.

They know that these people are probably killed by the Tubo people. .

After these people cried for a while, Chu Ge raised his hands and said: "Okay, okay, now you are safe.

I want to ask, is there anyone else alive here besides you?"

Everyone shook their heads with tears in their eyes, but one of the cooks said: "General, one day I went into the mountains to pick mushrooms and saw a figure flashing in the forest.

But there were Tibetan troops watching around me, so I didn't dare to say anything.

I believe There should be some people who fled into the mountains and forests.”

Chu Ge nodded and said: "Our army will not stay here for too long.

Tomorrow we will set off to continue westward to regain the lost territory, but I will leave a thousand people here to defend the city.

If possible, I hope you will go into the mountains and see See if you can find those who fled into the mountains and let them come back.

Don't stay here.

The mountains and forests have turned into savages over time.

In addition, there is a large amount of food in the fields outside the city that has not yet been harvested.

I will ask the soldiers who are left to help you harvest the food.

You must keep the rest except the food you eat. , maybe we need to use this batch of food when our army cannot provide food support."

Everyone said one after another: "Don't worry, General, we will harvest the food as soon as possible and plant the seeds at the same time.

We can harvest another batch in the fall."

At this time, a captain walked in from outside and reported: "General, all the Tibetan troops in the city have been cleared.

In addition, news came from all the battalions blocking the gate outside the city.

All the Tibetan troops who escaped from the city were killed, and no one escaped. " Chu Ge immediately gave the order: "Okay, pass the order and send out scouts to the west to detect the posts.

The other ministries and battalions will clean the battlefield and bury the corpses.

Rest here for the night today, and set off to the west at midnight tomorrow."

"promise" Before setting off, Chu Ge needs to understand the situation along the way, and in this regard, Zhao Ziliang's guide Ma Pi can play an important role and give good advice.

Guide Mapi was quickly sent by Chu Ge to find him, "I have seen the general."

Chu Ge said: "Map, this general has decided to leave tomorrow.

Is there anything I need to pay attention to along the way?"

Ma Pi walked to the map and pointed at it and said: "General, according to the march route given to us by the general, we are going to take this section of the road next.

The terrain will be getting higher and higher along the way, and altitude sickness will soon occur.

It will appear that we now have some medicines, but they are still seriously insufficient.

If we do not slow down the march because of the soldiers suffering from altitude sickness, we must take those soldiers who suffered from altitude sickness.

The soldiers suffering from altitude sickness stayed at the place where they were sick, leaving medicine and food for them to recover.

Others continued to move forward.

After these people recovered, they could catch up with the main force.

You see, from here on, the terrain will suddenly increase.

And here. , here, you need to pay attention.

After arriving at these places, it is best to stay for one to two days to let most of them adapt.

As for those who are sick, let them stay."

Chu Ge nodded: "Okay, when you get there, remember to remind me."

"Yes, General":
