Chapter 1437 Appetizers
The main general died in battle, but Songtsen Gampo did not feel regret at all, but was very angry. He felt that Zajiyangba was simply a stupid pig!
Muskets and artillery are both long-range shooting, which is even more similar to bows and arrows. Zajiyangba did not even let his subordinates disperse. Isn’t this a living target for the defenders on the city wall?
Zajiyangba died in battle and was considered a place to die on the spot. If he came back alive, he would have to behead him.
"Take a living person over here and ask how far they are from the city wall and what they have found." Songtsen Gampo said angrily.
"Qi Binzamp, they were attacked by enemy muskets when they were about a hundred steps away from the city wall. The enemy muskets were very powerful and had a very fast fire rate. Nothing else was found."
Songtsen Gampo was very disappointed when he heard this. He did not test anything, but lost thousands of riders in vain.
Saamu said ruthlessly: "Su Cheng is so cunning that he didn't even use artillery!"
Songtsen Gampo said in a deep voice: "It seems that Su Cheng is still very calm, and we did not lose our inch when we came to the city."
Saamu hurriedly said, "Zamp, why don't you lead five thousand cavalry yourself and then go up and test it?"
Songtsen Gampo shook his head slightly and said, "It's useless. The cavalry went up to test it. Su Cheng didn't care at all. He would not order the artillery. He would just wait to get close and shoot with a musket."
Saamu asked, "Zamp, what should I do?"
Songtsen Gampo said in a deep voice: "Step the city directly and order Sang Yiba to lead 10,000 people to carry the ladder and spread out the attack!"
Immediately, a communicator went to pass the command. Sang Yiba led 10,000 people off the horse and carried the ladders, dispersed the formation and advanced slowly.
On the city wall, Li Yun held the telescope and observed, and smiled, "Moji has finally started to attack the city after so long!"
However, Xue Wanche couldn't help but curl his lips and said depressedly: "Carry the ladder from more than ten miles away. When they arrive at the city, we should all have a meal!"
Feng Shun shouted, "No one should say in front of me that Tubo people are brave and good at fighting. Tubo people are the most timid people I have ever seen! They are still more than ten miles away, and they are as scared as turtles!"
The soldiers around all laughed. Although the Tubo people had already started attacking, the soldiers had no tension at all. In addition to their confidence, it was also because the Tubo people were so funny.
Su Cheng pondered: "The Tubo people are a little too cautious. Do you think it is because Songtsen Gampo is in the army? After all, it is definitely a king of a country who is definitely willing to cherish his life. Before figuring out the range and power of the artillery, he dare not lead the army forward, and it is difficult to hide behind the army."
Xue Wanche suddenly said, "It is very likely that if the one who led the troops was Saamu, wouldn't Saamu be afraid of being blamed by Songtsen Gampo when he was sent back? Only Songtsen Gampo can he be so blatant!"
When Li Yun, Feng Shun and other generals heard the eyes, they suddenly became like wolves. Songzan Gampo. What a great contribution would it be if Songzan Gampo was killed or captured alive?
Not only is it a great contribution, but it can also be remembered in history!
After saying this, the Tubo people carrying the ladder to attack the city were finally about to enter the range of cannons.
Su Cheng smiled and said, "No matter whether Songzan Gampo comes or not, the Tubo people have already delivered appetizers. Prepare that there is no need to fire all the cannons, and the cannons are separated by space!"
"Come on, let's give the Tubo people a little surprise!"
The artillery soldiers silently calculated the distance. Finally, the Tubo people carried the ladder forward for so long and finally entered the range of the artillery.
"fire!"
Hundreds of guns are fired together!
In an instant, the sound of artillery sounded across the world.
The solid shells fell among the Tubo people, causing the Tubo people to fly four times. Moreover, the high-speed shells were still ejected after they landed on the ground, and they shot out a bloody path with huge impulse.
Not only did the attacking Tubo people suffer considerable losses, but the ladders that attacked the city were also hit by artillery.
The cannons kept roaring, as if only the roar of cannons remained between heaven and earth.
Even more than ten miles away, the roar of the cannons was still deafening. Although Songtsen Gampo made the generals calm the hearts of the people in advance, when the cannons began to roar, the Tubo army inevitably had a lot of commotion.
Fortunately, the army was far away from the city wall, so although it caused a lot of commotion, it did not cause any confusion.
Songtsen Gampo kept squinting his eyes and waiting, finally waiting for the roar of artillery. This time he sat on the horse and saw it clearly.
Seeing the range of the cannons, seeing the power of the cannons, and hearing the roar of the cannons. Even though he was prepared, he was still shocked when hundreds of cannons were fired at once.
Songtsen Gampo looked ahead with a bright look, and sighed with a sigh: "So this is the artillery, it's really powerful, the range is so long, and the power is so strong! Awesome! Awesome!"
Now he finally understood why the Tang Dynasty's Eastern Expedition was so smooth and why Goguryeo was vulnerable. Cannons were indeed powerful tools for siege and villages.
If they had artillery in Tubo, then the city of Tang Dynasty would be useless in the future!
At this moment, Songtsen Gampo's heart was in agitation and he became more determined to capture Su Cheng.
The generals such as Saamu next to them were also shocked by the cannons, so when they heard Zamp's emotion, they almost fell off their horses.
The artillery is indeed very strong, but now they are siegeing the city. Doesn’t it mean that the siege is more difficult?
Songtsen Gampo said in a deep voice: "Send them to withdraw their troops!"
In this moment, the ten thousand soldiers who attacked had already suffered heavy losses.
A consignee immediately went to pass the order quickly.
Even the army more than ten miles away were shocked by the cannons, not to mention the soldiers who were carrying the ladder to attack, so they truly felt the power of the cannons.
If it weren't for the strict military orders, they would have run away long ago. The person who was hit by artillery would have died so miserably.
Now that I heard the Mingjin withdraw his troops, I immediately carried the cannon and ran back, as if there was a wolve chasing him behind me.
When they ran out of the range of the cannons, the sound of the cannons came to an abrupt end, and the world was quiet, and even the panicked war horse just now quieted down.
The Tubo soldiers were all breathing a sigh of relief just now, and now they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then they couldn't help but whispering to each other.
Most soldiers actually couldn't see the scene ahead, but the sound made people feel panicked.
Now, the range of the artillery was finally fully exposed. Songtsen Gampo said in a deep voice: "Send an order, the army advances and prepares to formally attack the city!"
The army began to advance, with many more ladders to attack the city than before.
