Reliability.
Under the city of Tanisha, the camp of the Tang army.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Xuan Ce, the prince of Gandhara, has decided to change his title, and the king of Tanisha is very good.
"Attack again."
He looked around at the generals.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the city of Tanesha is now home to no less than a hundred thousand people, and countless riches.
If you can take this city, the property, population, livestock, and food are everyone's, so everyone is willing to go back?"
"Besides, if we retreat now, then the territory of the Ring of the Sun that we have defeated has not yet been stabilized, and I am afraid that it will not be able to hold it."
Half of the conquered territories were taken by the princes.
At that time, the imperial court took out half of it and divided it among the princes.
The princes could give this territory to one of their sons according to their military merits.
Wealth, land.
No one wants to give up.
The wealth in Tanesha City may be given up, after all, it is not yet available.
But the land that can be conquered is fat that has reached the mouth, how can it be spit out.
"Take Tanesha, with this fortified city, we can not be afraid of the king of the sun.
Hold on to Taneshah, and the land we have already captured behind us will not have to be spit out. ” "You must also know that Your Majesty has given Ben Shuai a will.
If you can capture Tanesha, the court will be crowned King of Tanesha. ” Wang Xuance's words made the generals envious.
The newly promoted prince of the country is about to be promoted to the king of the county.
"Great marshal, the city of Tanesha is strong, and now in the rainy season, it is difficult for us to use firearms, and it will take a lot of time to build siege equipment, and the enemy reinforcements are coming, and we have no time."
A nobleman said.
Defeating Tanesha is not only good for Wang Xuance, but also good for everyone.
But if you can't fight and delay the time to retreat, it will be very dangerous if you are blocked here.
"For thousands of years, there have been no firearms, and it is not the same to attack the city."
Wang Xuance was holding a sword in his hand, but he was very confident.
Artillery is indeed a siege weapon, and with artillery, it can make the siege troops more powerful, and even play a decisive role.
But without artillery, the battle will be fought just as well.
"The staff officers of Ben Shuai provided Ben Shuai with a plan to break the city, and Ben Shuai thought it was very good."
Artillery still works in the rain, but it's not as good.
It can also be used by putting up a canopy for artillery to keep it out of the rain and keep it dry.
Besides, he has other methods.
Do one thing as a front for another.
Strong winds and torrential rain were blowing, and it was really bad weather.
On the city of Tanisha.
The defenders also breathed a sigh of relief, in such weather, the Tang army could not launch an offensive.
Wang Xuance, who was draped in a poncho, walked in the pouring rain and looked at the tall city in the rain and mist.
"Let's get started" Groups of soldiers took off their sapper shovels and began digging.
The rain-soaked mud was easy to dig, but the pit quickly became a puddle, and someone had to take a bucket to scoop the water behind.
"Dashuai, is this plan feasible?"
"Of course it works, but it's just tiring."
A drenched aristocratic general smiled, "If you can dig a ditch, you can capture Tanesha, tired and a fart, sweat is better than blood." ” Civil engineering, this is the advice given to Wang Xuance by the staff officers.
With such heavy rain, even if you have to build a canopy, the cannon is not easy to use.
The ground was rotten, it was difficult for the cannons to move, and the rain and air were damp, and the gunpowder was not effective.
They came up with an easier way.
Dig a trench directly under the castle and approach it in a zigzag pattern, where you can dodge arrows and stone bullets thrown from the castle.

The method of civil engineering is used to approach the city, and then blast directly.
As long as the explosives are prepared, no matter how strong the city is, it can be exploded.
"Prepare more gunpowder, remember to seal it with oiled paper, so that it can't get wet."
Wang Xuance confessed.
In order to ensure the effect, he was ready to dig several trenches in several directions at once.
The infantry dug trenches, and the cavalry responded in the rear, and if the Japanese soldiers dared to go out of the city to block them, they would be intercepted and killed.
"What the hell is the weather, it rains endlessly."
"And it's sweltering."
It's already autumn, and the Central Plains is already cool, but it's still very hot and humid, and the rain doesn't stop.
Everyone hates this weather.
The continuous rainy season caused many problems for the march, logistics and supplies, and the offensive.
The sharpest artillery of the Tang army was ineffective.
Otherwise, it would be so troublesome to bombard the city with direct artillery.
It rained heavily, but Tang Jun was very energetic.
Most of these are aristocratic private armies, attacking cities and destroying pools, but there are spoils of war.
In a city as big as Tanesha, the boss has already spoken, and everyone can get rich after taking the city.
The actions of the Tang Army could not be concealed from the Japanese army.
But the Tang army was not attached to the ants to attack the city, but they dug tunnels in the rain.
This surprised the Japanese army.
Seeing that the Tang army was digging closer and closer, the Japanese troops in the city couldn't sit still.
At the sound of the trumpet, the gates opened.
An elephant army rushed out, the elephant army was the most elite branch of the Japanese army, and the huge elephant was on a rampage, and a single kick could trample a well-armed soldier to blast.
Even the cavalry did not dare to collide with them.
"It's not stupid to quit the Japanese army."
Wang Xuance had been staring at Tanisha City, and when he saw that they had sent an elephant army, he snorted coldly.
"Dashuai, how do we deal with it" The Tang Army and the Japanese Army were also engaged in many battles, and the Tang Army was no stranger to the elephant army of the Japanese Soldiers.
In the past, the elephant army was mainly dealt with by artillery, muskets and grenades.
The elephant is big, but it is timid.
They are most afraid of fire and loud noises.
Many times, the Tang army attacked with muskets and grenades, and the elephants that could be beaten panicked, trampled and trampled countless wounds to death by the Japanese army, and even several times, the elephant army became the vanguard of the Tang army to break the enemy.
The elephants were the first to charge, and then soon defected.
Now the Japanese army has sent an elephant army, probably because it is raining heavily now, and the firearms of the bullying Tang army cannot be used.
"Send out cavalry, intercept their elephants, and be sure to protect the tunnels."
If you can't use firearms, then fight hard.
The Tang cavalry is also elite.
A knight lowered the mask from his helmet and held his spear.
The cavalry slowly accelerated.
Run, run.
"Kill" Facing those behemoths, Tang Qi did not fear, did not flinch, they shouted, clenched their spears, and moved forward.
A dozen horsemen besieged an elephant.
Fierce fighting.
"Expediting Digging" Wang Xuance saw that the casualties of the cavalry were not small, and ordered with a calm face.
"Shift your weight and move forward."
The rain was still heavy, and both sides of the war were greatly affected, but no one retreated.
"When all kinds of tactics are exhausted, on the battlefield, in the end, only iron and blood will decide the victory.

Only the will can defeat the opponent" Wang Xuance held the sword in his hand.
As a commander-in-chief, you should try to gain as many advantages as possible before the decisive battle, but when it is inevitable to fight, you can only go all out and fight to the end.
On the battlefield, it's all about the sword.
With the courage to defy death, Tang Cai entangled the elephant army and did not let him get close to the infantry who were struggling to dig tunnels.
One elephant after another was put down by the Tang riders, and many Tang riders also fell.
Seeing that they could not stop the excavation of the tunnels of the Tang people, the Japanese army was anxious.
At the sound of the trumpet, their cavalry was sent out again.
Wang Xuance laughed, "These dog-day fools, do you add oil?"
A staff officer considered for the Japanese soldiers, "At first, the Japanese army must have thought that the elephant army would be able to rush to the front of the trench, and they did not want to send everyone out to fight us under the city. ” Compared with the Tang army, the number of Japanese troops in the city was not superior, and they had to defend Tanesha or defend the city.
When it was found that the people in the city could not deal with the Tang army digging tunnels, they had to send an elephant army.
As a result, the elite elephant army couldn't even get close to the trench, let alone kill the Tang soldiers who dug the pit.
Helplessly, they could only send more cavalry.
"Damn it, transfer the infantry."
Cavalry against the elephant army, and then infantry against cavalry, Wang Xuance soldiers to block, water to flood, today, no one wants to stop him from digging the tunnel under the city.
The tunnels are close to the city and are within range of the city.
The Japanese soldiers in the city finally had a chance to return the favor, and they fired arrows at the tunnel and threw stones downward.
It's a pity that the Tang army's tunnel is advancing in the shape of a shape, and the shooting angle in the city is not good.
Moreover, the Tang army sent shield soldiers to hold shields and add a roof to the tunnel to cover the soldiers who were digging in the earth.
"Dashuai, dig it, dig it to the city."
A school water covered in mud and water ran to report.
"Very good, transport the logs, erect the pillars, continue to dig the base of the wall, dig to the base of the wall, and then build the blasting room" If you want to blow down such a tall wall with gunpowder, the most important thing is to dig under the city foundation, not lean on it.
It is necessary to build a blasting chamber with wooden supports.
If it weren't for the lack of time and such heavy rain, you could actually dig the tunnel directly, and dig far away.
The advantage of digging tunnels is that the people in the city don't know where the tunnels are, but to dig this kind of tunnels, you have to start digging from a long distance, and the amount of work is large, and it takes a long time.
If you want to dig directly into the city, it is not easy, and the big city will generally have facilities to prevent tunnels, such as burying large urns next to the city wall to listen to sounds.
The other party can even reverse the tunnel.
Now Wang Xuance is simply and rudely digging the ditch directly, although it is directly exposed to the enemy's sight, but quickly.
The explosives box made of wood is like a large coffin, which contains thousands of pounds of explosives, and is also wrapped in oiled paper, which is moisture-proof and waterproof.
"Shieldman, protect them and send the powder box in" Wang Xuance shouted.
It was the first tunnel to be dug through, and he hoped it would be solved with a single blast, which would reduce many casualties.
"Let the cavalry charge again, and never let the dog-day's soldiers come near them" "Yes" Wang Xuance looked through the rain curtain and looked at the fierce battle under the city from afar.
He held his sword, "No one will try to stop us" A group of the strongest men carried powder coffins through the muddy tunnel, two rows of shieldmen guarding them on either side of the tunnel.
The Don horsemen shouted again and turned to charge.
Everyone is trying to get the gunpowder to the blasting room under the city.
Under the rain of arrows, stones, and wood, they crossed the last section of the tunnel and successfully sent the powder coffin into the hole in the foundation of the city supported by the wood.
Put the powder coffin away.
Several artillery non-commissioned officers were key figures in the operation, directing the soldiers to seal off the blasting chamber in order to achieve a better blasting effect.
Everything is ready.
A soldier pulls out a flint lighter.
"Hurry away, immediately, as far back as possible."
Ignoring the sweat and rain on his body, he gasped for breath and meditated a hundred times in his heart.
Originally, such a blast should have been ignited with a long lead for safety.
But now it's raining heavily, and he can only light a fire here, and he doesn't know if he can get there and run away.
The thumb rubbed the wheel, rubbed the flint, and the sparks splashed.
Two times at a time, three times at a time.

The spark finally ignited the oil core, and a flame danced.
Taking a deep breath, he brought the fire closer to the fuse.
The fuse is ignited and the sparks scatter.
He turned and ran, running as fast as he could along the muddy tunnel, without looking back.
Behind him, the fuse was burning.
There was a loud bang.
Wang Xuance felt a violent vibration under his feet and was unsteady on his feet.
Then, he saw ahead, the tall walls of Tanesha in the rain, suddenly collapsed.
The shaking stopped, and a huge gap appeared in front of the Tang army.
It was a gap at least four or five zhang wide, and the collapsed earth and rocks formed a slope.
A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Xuance's mouth.
He slowly raised the sword in his hand, which had been unsheathed for a long time.
Behind him, countless knights turned on their horses, and they drew their swords from their sheaths.
Thousands of Tang horsemen struck the saddle with their sabers, and they roared in unison "Datang, Datang, Datang" One after another, the nobles also turned on their horses, and all drew their swords out of their sheaths.
Countless roars converged and overwhelmed the sound of rain.
The standard-bearer behind Wang Xuance held the big flag high and waved it forward.
Wang Xuance clamped the horse's belly and took the lead.
The knights shouted and galloped.
They rushed forward like a madman, towards the open gap.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The best chance to break the city is just around the corner.
"Kill" Wang Xuance held his saber high and roared vigorously.
In the ten years under Zhang Chao's command, he has rushed with a knife countless times like now.
But this time, he was the commander-in-chief of the whole army.
This time, he is going to attack the former capital of the King of the Sun.
The Japanese soldiers screamed wildly, panicked, and mobilized men and horses to plug the gap.
The first to rush was crowded in the gap, spear after spear, forming a wall of guns.
Wang Xuance, who was dressed in plate armor, still rushed forward, without the slightest intention of stopping.
He saw the spears through the cracks in his visor, but he was not afraid.
Kicking the horse's belly, the horse neighed and accelerated again.
Wang Xuance's personal guards and cavalry were tightly guarded on the left and right, and the standard-bearer was holding the banner high and not leaving an inch.
They are like a sharp knife.
Pierced into the torn hole.
The war horse rubbed the broken stone and rotten bricks, and rushed forward.
Wang Xuance waved his saber high, one man and one horse, and crashed into the Sensen gun array.
Left split, right chop, chop chop, chop chop.
Wang Xuance looked crazy More and more knights rushed in, slashing and slashing with their swords.
The pressure in front was suddenly relaxed, and Wang Xuance looked up and saw that he had rushed into the city.
Behind him, the red flag was planted on the gap, fluttering in the wind and rain Behind, there are Tang Army soldiers who are pouring in like a tide. t1706231537:
