Rocks were flying in the sky, and big stones weighing dozens of kilograms flew into the air. On the top of the city, gravel splashed. Xue Renxiao curled up in a dead corner. The personal soldiers used a shield to try to block him, but he always pushed the personal soldiers away impatiently, and the actions of disgusting the personal soldiers blocked his sight.

"Damn it!" Xue Renxiao roared and cursed: "Why do they even have a counterweight trencher? Zhu Youzhen, a bitch, will one day you will be slaughtered like a dog."

The reason why he cursed Zhu Youzhen was because Xue Renxiao believed that these trenchers with high technical content would definitely not be able to be created by the Tubo people. The reason he has it now must be that Zhu Youzhen sent someone to help them build it.

In fact, this really wronged Zhu Youzhen.

When it comes to historical origins, culture, art, and military development skills, the Tubo people are really good. After all, it was also a great country that had been extremely glorious in history, and once posed a great threat to the Tang Dynasty.

They made ordinary trenchers effortlessly, and counterweight trenchers were just an improvement on the basis of the original trenchers. As long as he appeared on the battlefield and showed more powerful power, all those who were interested would naturally let them go and then imitate them. Experiment a few more times and it would come naturally.

However, they were confused about advanced things like artillery that involved multiple basic disciplines. Even the Tang Dynasty had a foresighted person like Li Ze. After more than ten years of exploration, after a great progress in gunpowder technology and steel smelting technology, they were able to do it. However, even if it was done, it was now an extremely bulky guy, with limited scope of application, limited power, and many restrictions. It can change the situation on some battlefields, but for the overall strategic situation, it is not enough to be a decisive thing.

In short, even if the Tang Dynasty now has such advanced things, if they lose in terms of large-scale strategic layout, then these things will eventually fall into the hands of the enemy.

With a loud bang, Xue Renxiao poked his head out again regardless of danger and saw a corner poking out of the city wall accidentally hit by a big rock and collapsed. On the corner that was protruding, there were originally a dozen archers hidden, specifically used to attack enemies that could not be seen on the front wall.

The corner tower collapsed, and the archers above were naturally unable to escape. They all fell to the city with screams.

This is the case above the city, and the city is not easy. The houses near the city walls were destroyed one after another. As a reserve soldier, he could only try his best to keep himself close to the city walls to avoid such a violent bombardment by a catapult.

A man squatted and ran to Xue Renxiao with a jingling shield. Seeing this person, Xue Renxiao was a little displeased: "Zhang Miao, didn't you say that? Can one of us stay on the city wall? If you are not behind, you are going to fight back, what are you going to run up to do?"

"Just come and have a look!" Zhang Miao, the first graduate of the Wuwei Military Academy of the Tang Dynasty, was also the first batch of Datang officers to come to Changdu. He was only twenty-five years old this year, but he was already a veteran on the battlefield. The first graduate of the Wuwei Military Academy was selected from the grassroots officers who performed well on the battlefield. Unlike later, among the Wuwei Military Academy, those who had never been on the battlefield accounted for a considerable proportion. "General Xue, the Tubo people have invested a lot this time, with so many long-range weapons."

As they spoke, a whimpering sound of breaking through the air suddenly came from their ears. The two of them subconsciously shrank their necks, which was the sound of a powerful crossbow.

A powerful crossbow arrow about two meters long and as thick as a child's arms passed by a place more than ten meters above the top of the two people's heads. With a snatch, it penetrated deeply into the lintel of the city tower behind them. The fire-burning object on it quickly ignited the lintel of the city tower, but the two just glanced at it and were too lazy to pay attention to it.

"Why don't you fight back?" Xue Renxiao asked, "It's so suffocating to be pulled by him."

"General Xue, we only have twenty treble treble machines. How many of the other party have? Have you seen that there are dozens of counterweight treble treble machines on the other party. This thing can be easily adjusted. If I expose the position, they will call them in a concentrated manner and smash them down in a crowded manner. I will not last long. Even if there are many people in the family, it will take a long time to build so many more. Can't we make a few more?"

"Then let's look at it?" Xue Renxiao asked back.

"Of course not." Zhang Miao smiled and said, "We only have a few rounds of launch opportunities. I don't want to waste it. They have to maximize their effectiveness. I bombed their trenchers and they could rebuild them, but I'm holding on now. When they start to launch a large-scale siege, I will deal with his infantry. Haha, can the man be killed? General Xue, I have prepared a big surprise for them."

"It's reasonable!" Xue Renxiao nodded: "But if I continue like this, I'm very worried that our city wall will not be able to hold on!"

"If the gap is opened, you can only use people to block it. This is expected."

The two were discussing themselves, and not far away, two people suddenly ran out of their hiding place and ran down the city. However, they were two young and strong men who had just witnessed one of their companions being smashed by a stone that was big in the mouth of the bowl falling from the sky. They couldn't stand it for a moment, and they actually wanted to escape down.

Xue Renxiao's face changed. Before he could think of a second thought, an officer jumped out and slashed the steel knife in his hand without mercy, immediately killing the two of them on the spot.

"Those who retreat, kill!"

"That's the noise, kill!"

"The cowardly fighter, kill!"

The officer's cold voice was sandwiched between the whistling stone bombs, and immediately shocked other people who were ready to escape from the city.

Such things are very common in the army of Chamdo, but they are really uncommon for Zhang Miao. Before coming to Chamdo, he had been in the Zuowu Guard. The Tang Dynasty had strict military rules and had never seen them fleeing in the battle.

Because the truth is very simple.

Moving forward may lead to death!

But you will definitely die if you retreat.

A way of dying can also bring sorrow and honor behind you. This has been proved by the court with examples one by one during many years of war. The Tang Dynasty is now the most powerful country in the world, and of course, it is also the most trustworthy country.

Another way of death not only has nothing, but also affects the family and is discredited by the world.

Compared with the two, I still move forward. Even if I die, I still have some thoughts.

However, when you arrive in Changdu, Zhang Miao was used to the fact that people would always run away in war. After all, Xue was controlled by a serf uprising army. Apart from the core part, you cannot use strict military discipline to demand the rest of the people. You can only shock, intimidate and material rewards.

There must be a brave man under heavy rewards!

After such an episode came out, the two of them just glanced at it and began to look at the lineup of the Tubo army in the distance.

The main attack on Ding Qing was another general under Mangaba, Deencuoba.

While Xue Renxiao kept cursing them, Dai Encuoba was also cursing Xue Renxiao angrily.

In the past, Dai Encuoba had been to Dingqing County, and at that time it was also to suppress some small-scale riots. At that time, Dingqing County's county town was just made of earth, which was only ten feet high, similar to walls. Dai Encuoba even felt that he could break down the fragile walls with one punch.

After only a few years, Dingqing County has become like this.

The serious city wall was as high as thirty feet high. What was even more annoying was that there were blue bricks on the outside. In order to prevent attacks such as stone bullets, the upper part of these brick walls was nailed into grid-shaped protection. Countless sharpened wooden thorns were installed on the wood to prevent climbing.

Although it was just such a small change, countless stone bullets returned without attack. The stone bullets hit the city wall first hit these spikes, then the wooden grid, and finally hit the stone wall again, and the power was exhausted.

When I came to inspect Dingqing County's defense yesterday, there were still no such protections.

The enemy was too cunning and had already been done and placed behind the city wall. When the attack began, they put it down. The long support allowed them to offset most of the impact. Once damaged, it was easy to collect it back and then do a batch of things. In a short time, Deencuoba saw that one of the parts was smashed to a full face and was pulled up by the hateful enemy with a rope. After a moment, a mess of things were hung down again, but compared with the previous regularity, this time it was obvious that some materials were temporarily found to be nailed together.

I originally thought that such a fierce long-range attack could knock down the city wall and then a large army rushed in. Now it seems that this is impossible. There is no other good way to carry out the most cruel Ant Support Camp battle.

The location of the city was so annihilated that it happened to be stuck on the flat ground between the two mountains. Apart from the frontal attack, there was no other way.

"Prepare to attack the city!" Daienzowba stopped his meaningless cursing, turned his head and said to the generals around him. "Let these slaves know what warriors are."

The generals took the order with a loud bang and turned around and left.

On the city wall, Zhang Miao was extremely proud. This gadget was the one he and his classmates were trying to simulate the city offensive and defensive battles when they were in the Military Academy. At that time, it made those companions who had received systematic military training very worried.
