Chapter 1435 The rain is coming
The Tubo army stopped advancing, and then divided two cavalry into two groups and walked around the city, as if they were trying to encircle Xinghai City.
Seeing this, Su Cheng couldn't help laughing: "The Tubo people have surrounded the city, because they are afraid that we will send people to ask for help."
Xue Wanche said disdainfully: "Bah, I'm afraid we'll ask for help, but we'll be afraid that they will run away!"
Li Yun pondered: "Master, should we really send someone to pretend to ask for help? Otherwise, wouldn't it arouse the suspicion of the Tubo people?"
After hearing this, Su Cheng shook his head slightly. The outside was surrounded by Tubo army. At this time, sending people to scatter for help was basically equivalent to sending death.
It’s not that Su Cheng is a womanly person. If it is really a forced time, Su Cheng will certainly support sending people out for help. But he feels that there is no need to send people out to die now. They are all soldiers under his command, all living lives.
Su Cheng shook his head and said, "There is no need. That night in Minzhou, I was drunk and proud and said that as long as the Tubo people come to defeat the Tubo people, we will not send anyone to ask for help, the Tubo people should not doubt it, but will only feel that I am extremely arrogant."
After hearing this, the generals nodded and thought that what the Duke said made sense. The Tubo people came from afar and had come. It was impossible for them to run away because of this, right?
The Tubo people are not called brave and good at fighting, but are called timid as rats.
Su Cheng held up the telescope and observed carefully, pondering: "There are more Tubo people coming than we expected!"
At this moment, the Tubo people had completely appeared in sight. Xue Wanche also held up the telescope and observed carefully, estimating: "From this scale, there are probably 100,000 people."
Xue Wanche has been through the battlefield for a long time and is very experienced. Although it is a rough estimate, it is almost certain. Moreover, the army of 100,000 is indeed a relatively common configuration.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "It seems that Songtsen Gampo has really sent troops to reinforce, but I don't know if Songtsen Gampo has led his troops in person."
Xue Wanche's eyes shone and said happily: "I hope Songzan Gampo is really here. See if I can chop off his dog's head with one knife!"
Xue Wanche didn't know what fear was. Su Cheng turned to look at the generals and asked with a smile: "There are 100,000 Tubo cavalry outside, which is beyond our imagination. Are you afraid?"
Li Yun and others couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
"How could you be afraid?"
"I'm not afraid of the many Tubo people, but I'm afraid of the Tubo people being beaten without fighting. I'll be scared away in just two days!"
"That's right, there are so many Tubo people coming. As the saying goes, people are more courageous. I hope they can be braver and we can also let go of our hands and feet!"
"The more Tubo people come, the better. We don't have to be restrained, we can fight quickly!"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "It's too late today. The Tubo people should not attack the city, but they should not be careless. The soldiers on night must be alert to prevent the Tubo people from attacking at night!"
Zheng Quanyi bowed and said, "Don't worry, my grandfather, I will definitely stare at the Tubo people and will never relax my vigilance."
The Tubo people should have captured the city tomorrow, right? The generals could not contain their excitement when they looked at the Tubo army in the distance, and felt like they had been waiting for so long and finally entered the bridal chamber.
The Tubo army was setting up camp. The marching of the road was a huge crowd, but he was not afraid that the defenders in Xinghai City would dare to attack the camp. Tens of thousands of cavalry rushed over. The overwhelming momentum probably scared the Tang army in the city. Do they dare to go out to fight?
Moreover, the firearms of Shenji Camp were suitable for defending the city and were not suitable for raids at all, so he calculated that Shenji Camp did not dare to attack the camp.
Besides, even if Su Cheng really led his troops to attack the camp, he should be happy. Although the passers-by had been trapped for a day, he was still a hundred thousand troops after all, and he could pile up the Shenji Camp to kill him and capture Su Cheng alive. This was much easier than siegeing the city.
Songtsen Gampo rode on the horse and looked at Xinghai City, smiling and said, "The walls of Xinghai City do not look very high!"
They once attacked Songcheng, the Tang Dynasty. The walls were high and thick, and the deep moat were very deep, which was a headache.
Saamu smiled and said, "It's really not high, it's not difficult to conquer it. This city will be destroyed within three days!"
Songtsen Gampo shook his head slightly and said, "If the guards were not surprised, they would have been able to break through this city within three days, but we don't know how powerful the firearm is. Therefore, it is hard to say whether they can capture Xinghai City within three days."
Saamu said in a deep voice: "I don't believe it anymore. Can this firearm still be powerful? Within three days, Xinghai City will be destroyed!"
Songtsen Gampo smiled and said, "I feel a little contradictory now. I hope to break the city as soon as possible, and I hope Xinghai City can persist for a long time. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that the firearm is actually not worthy of being famous?"
Sa Amu couldn't help scratching his head when he heard this. He thought it was not important whether the firearm was powerful or not. As long as Su Cheng was robbed to Tubo, just by forcing him to find out the secret recipe for the stolen wine, it would be attractive enough.
Songtsen Gampo stared at Xinghai City with his eyes narrowed, but the distance was too far. Nothing could be seen except for the towering city walls.
You can't see the cannons, let alone the people on the city wall.
Songtsen Gampo said regretfully: "It's a pity that the distance is too far to see clearly the people on the city wall. Actually, I really want to go forward and see if Su Cheng is on the city wall."
Although he had never seen Su Cheng Zhenren, he had seen Su Cheng's portrait from Zhenzhu, so if he saw Su Cheng, he would definitely recognize him.
Saamu was shocked when he heard this and quickly advised: "Zanpu should not go forward too much. No one knows how powerful the artillery is and how long the range is. Zanpu is a commoner in the Dawn, so he cannot take risks with himself."
Songtsen Gampo waved his hand and smiled, "Don't worry, we must be cautious before we figure out the power of the firearm. I suddenly thought that Su Cheng once made something called a telescope. It is rumored that he could see clearly from a distance with that thing and even see things on the moon."
Saamu nodded after hearing this and said, "My general has also heard of telescopes. That thing is very useful for war and can better observe the enemy situation."
Songtsen Gampo sighed lightly: "What a pity, whether it was a high-investment or a secret search, he never got a telescope."
Saamu smiled and said, "Don't be upset at Zamp. If you can capture Su Cheng, you can all of our entire army with a telescope."
Songtsen Gampo laughed and said, "You are right. When Su Cheng is captured, how many telescopes are unavailable?"
"Our 100,000 Iron Cavalry of Tubo has already arrived at the city. Can't we still break through Xinghai City?"
