In order to attack a large city like Changdu, where the city defense facilities are complete and the defenders are well prepared, there is actually no shortcut to take. You can only siege step by step and fight head-on. Even famous generals in this world are unwilling to touch it at will.

In history, there were many cases of attacks on some big cities that had been surrounded by one or two years of wars, and there were even some extreme examples. It took ten or eight years to finally break the city. It can be seen that it was difficult to attack a strong city under the technical conditions at that time.

In fact, after seeing the current scale of Changdu City and the news that spies came from the city, Mangaba no longer had the intention of winning quickly.

In the city, the military and civilians were quite stable, and the rebels had extremely strict control over everything, but were quite orderly. Anyone who incited riots or spread rumors would have no choice but to lose his head as long as he was caught.

More importantly, they had a so-called king like Sager, and there were thousands of red-clothed lamas in the city. Compared with the fierce methods of the rebels, these people were the main reasons that made Chamdo extremely calm.

It is a completely extravagant to expect someone in the city to respond and cooperate with his army to destroy the city inside and outside.

Mangba had already handed over a letter to Chinan, Delhi as soon as he returned to the tent.

He needs reinforcements.

He needs more food and weapons.

He also needs more civilians and craftsmen.

After writing this letter, Mangaba, who was about to leave the tent to get some breath, suddenly heard a violent explosion coming from the direction of the rear camp.

Mangaba did not expect that on the first day he arrived at the city of Chamdo, he was attacked by the enemy.

"Quickly inform all the troops on the front line, and no one is allowed to move rashly!" Standing on the high platform and looking at the raging fires ignited in the direction of the rear camp, Mangeba said sternly.

Many central generals around looked at each other. In the firelight soaring into the sky, they could see that the craftsman camp of the Hou battalion was attacked. At this moment, they were completely in chaos, with running mules, horses and figures everywhere.

The enemy's attacks actually chose the craftsman camp, which was something they had no choice.

They focus on defending against possible raids from the enemy, which destroys the places where food and grass are reserved.

"The enemy sneaked in from the city. If we can pass through our defense without being discovered by us, we can only be small groups of people. If I guess it is not wrong, there will be no more than ten people. They will not be able to do anything." Mangaba said in a deep voice: "They just want to cause chaos in our front-line troops. When we are dispatching troops to rescue them, they can send large groups of cavalry out of the city to raid us off guard."

"As long as the front-line troops strictly guard their positions and are on guard, they can solve the problems of the craftsman camp themselves."

Mangba stared at the direction of the craftsman camp for a while and turned away: "If they cannot solve the problem by themselves, tomorrow, they will kill Abach, the commander of the craftsman camp."

Mangaba did have his own set in military affairs, and his imagination was not wrong at all, because at this moment, a cavalry brigade of 2,000 people in the city was already waiting after the city gate. As long as they found that Mangaba's frontier troops were mobilized or fell into chaos, they could take this opportunity to go forward and bite, achieve certain results, and give the enemy who besieged the city a warning.

Unlike the small counties that were conquered before, Chamdo has sufficient counterattack ability.

However, Xue Renzhong and Tang Degong regretfully saw that the Tubo army's front and central army were not at all confused, and there were even countless whistle cavalry rushing out of the camp and heading towards Changdu.

"Sweep and go to bed!" Tang Degong shook his head: "There is no chance, the opponent has not been fooled."

Xue Renzhong nodded: "Even if we didn't get the chance to expand the results, this attack was still successful and it was enough for them to drink a pot."

It's indeed enough for the Tubo people to drink a pot.

Of course, there were more than ten people in the attackers, but a total of thirty people, divided into three teams, each with ten people, sneaking from different roads to the craftsman camp, and then launched a sudden attack.

Thirty attackers faced the craftsman camp guarded by thousands of craftsmen and hundreds of Tubo soldiers. Judging from the number of people, they were naturally like a drop in the ocean and were not worth mentioning, but the weapons carried by these people were never seen by the Tubo people.

The Tubo people knew and possessed the ignition bomb.

But gunpowder weapons are unheard of. Even if the generals who sent Tubo to the Tubo together had told these Tubo generals in detail about the various means of the Tang army fighting against the enemy, among which weapons such as artillery and grenades were the top priority, but it is difficult for the Tubo people who did not really face such weapons to have any real feelings about the power described out of thin air.

A mere thirty people caused huge losses to the craftsmen.

These thirty people were suicide squads. When they came out, they never thought of going back. Here, there were people from the Xue clan and serfs who were deeply hated by these great slave owners. After accepting the blessing of the great Lama Lomba and asserting that they would return to heaven and would be born in a paradise in the next life, they unswervingly left the city and headed towards this journey that knew there was no way back.

The people on this plateau are basically Buddhists, and those Xue clans, after many years of arrival, have basically converted, and have been working hard and confused about the future. Lomba's blessing to them is undoubtedly their most persistent faith support.

People are most afraid of having faith.

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Ze was desperately promoting the feelings of family, country and nationality, which, after all, was also a kind of faith. He wanted to use such faith to replace all kinds of other messy things that Li Ze thought.

Li Ze is already slowly achieving success.

At least, in Yixing Society, this belief is forming and becoming stronger.

But on this plateau, religion is still the most primitive and effective faith. Compared with the belief promoted by Li Ze only lasted for ten years, religion has been implemented in the world for thousands of years.

Thirty people sneaked into the craftsman camp in three different directions.

The craftsman camp's vigilance is actually quite normal. Although there is no such place as the grain warehouse, it is almost perverted to defend, and there are almost all kinds of sentries here.

So they were discovered shortly after they sneaked in.

But the problem is that the weapons they carry are too perverted for the Tubo people.

Once discovered, these people seemed to be scattered, but as they ran around, grenades and explosives were ignited and then threw them to all directions.

The violent explosion was like a thunderbolt falling from the sky, which immediately stunned the entire craftsman camp.

They have never experienced such a scene, nor have they seen such an attack method.

In the eyes of many craftsmen and soldiers, these people were like thunder gods falling from the sky. Every time they reached out, thunder and lightning flashed. People, livestock, and even those newly built siege equipment were killed and injured in the blink of an eye.

After being confused, it became in chaos.

The entire craftsman camp was in chaos.

Rivals of fires were lit everywhere in the entire craftsman camp.

In this camp, there are a lot of flammable materials. Two phases and one plus, the fire is unstoppable.

After dawn, Mangaba appeared in the craftsman camp with a blue face, which had almost turned into ruins. All the siege equipment created had turned into waste, and most of the reserved materials were turned into blue smoke, and hundreds of craftsmen died in the chaos.

Abach kneeled before Mangba's war horse, his face as if dead.

All the attackers were dead, and only twenty bodies could be found. The total number of attackers would never exceed fifty people. For nearly 100,000 troops, a hair was not considered a piece of hair, but only a few people caused the losses to the Tubo army were irreparable in a short period of time.

Mangba waved his hand, and several personal soldiers rushed up, dragging Abach from the ground, and grabbed his braid, and unsheathed the steel knife. A sword flashed, Abach's head was held in his hand, and the headless body fell to the ground.

From beginning to end, Abach did not beg for mercy. In fact, after tomorrow, he counted the losses and knew his destiny.

The huge losses of the craftsman camp forced Mangeba to slow down his attack on Changdu City. Unlike the Tang army, which has achieved standardization of modules of large-scale siege equipment, which can be built normally and transported directly to the battlefield for assembly. The Tubo people can only temporarily build it after arriving at the battlefield.

The craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty were only responsible for assembly and maintenance on the battlefield, and the Tubo people were much more troublesome. Now all these things that were prepared to build siege equipment were destroyed, and Mangaba could only prepare again. Hundreds of craftsmen died and more injured were inevitably greatly affected, which would greatly affect the speed of building these equipment.

How to attack the city without these things?

The soldiers can't fly.

The equipment needs to be built slowly, and Mangaba will not let these 70,000 or 80,000 people eat and roll their eyes around Changdu City. From the next day, the large-scale digging of soil and lures began vigorously outside Changdu City.
