- The Tang army, Chen Qi's army, reached the Tubo mansion, and the Tubo royal court received the news that the Tang army had attacked Tubo.
Therefore, when Lu Dongzan and Sang Xiong urgently mobilized their troops to support Moyue City and Qingtang City, it was already the tenth day of the Tang army's attack on Tubo. In these ten days, Chen Qi has captured Moyue City, and his army is preparing to march to Yaze City. Su Dingfang's army has also surrounded Qingtang City and is already fighting with the defenders of Qingtang City. In three days, Qingtang City was about to be breached.
They believed that no matter how powerful the Tang army on the southern front was, they still had the two strong cities of Yaze and Pibo to stop them. Therefore, a hundred thousand troops were sent, but neither Lu Dongzan nor Sang Xiong led the army in person. Instead, they sent another Tibetan general Getai who was as famous as Sang Xiong, and Lu Dongzan and Sang Xiong led two troops. One hundred thousand elite cavalry came towards Qingtang City. In their minds, by eliminating the Tang army in Qingtang City and protecting Qingtang City, the city closest to the Tang Dynasty, Tubo would be able to send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty again.
Lu Dongzan and Sang Xiong rode on horseback to the position of the central army. They did not speak, but each fell into silence, thinking about their thoughts.
"Report¡ª¡ª" At this moment, a fast horse appeared in the sight of the two people, and both of them turned their attention to the Tubo knight on the horse.
The knight came to Lu Dongzan and Sang Xiong on horseback and jumped off the horse neatly.
"Reporting to the Prime Minister and General, Qingtang City is now surrounded by the Tang Army. The Tang Army has been attacking Qingtang City for three days!" the knight said expressionlessly.
"Keep exploring!" Lu Dongzan said lightly.
"yes¡ª¡ª"
After the knight left, he turned his attention to Sang Xiong.
"How long do you think Zhuo Qing can hold on?"
"It will only take two days at most!" Sang Xiong said worriedly, "The army of the Tang Dynasty is the best at attacking cities!"
"Then can we still catch up?" Lu Dongzan asked, he seemed to be talking to himself.
"Prime Minister, I think we can first send 300,000 to 50,000 fine cavalry to the Qingtang City to cause some trouble to the Tang army, and also give the soldiers in the city a signal that reinforcements have arrived, so that they can hold on, so It can increase their morale and delay the Tang army's attack on the city." Sang Xiong thought for a long time before speaking.
"It's a good idea. As long as it's a fine cavalry, it can indeed reach Qingtang City in two days!" Lu Dongzan said.
However, his words stopped here.
The two of them stopped talking and continued to move forward.
After a long while, Lu Dongzan continued, "General Sangxiong, I'll give you 50,000 fine cavalry, can you complete the mission?"
"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will never let Qingtang City fall into the hands of the Tang Army!" Sang Xiong promised.
"Well, I'll give you 50,000 fine cavalry!" Lu Dongzan said, "But you have to be careful not to rush too hastily during the march, so as not to fall into the Tang army's trick!"
¡°Yes¡ª¡ª¡± Sang Xiong replied.
Immediately, Sang Xiong led 50,000 fine cavalry and rushed toward Qingtang City at full speed.
Under Qingtang City, this is already the fourth day of siege.
In the past three days, Datang's infantry had dropped 10,000 corpses under Qingtang City, and 8,000 of the Qingtang City's defenders had also lost their lives.
Therefore, as soon as the war started today, the Tang army adopted the method of using catapults and bed crossbows together, gathering all catapults and bed crossbows together to launch another round of attacks on Qingtang City.
" I saw hundreds of catapults showing off their power together, smashing huge rocks into Qingtang City.
The Tubo defenders on Qingtang City were hit by rocks before they could escape in time. They didn't even have time to scream, and they were reduced to pulp. The defenders who were not hit were stunned when they saw the death of their companions. He looked so frightened that his face turned pale. The bed crossbow was even more powerful, with a two-meter-long long arrow. It nailed the Tubo defenders on the city wall to the wooden pillars of the city tower who had no time to dodge or did not cover up. He could also scream and shake, and the scene was extremely brutal.
Zhuo Qing watched all this with cold eyes, just like a spectator.
Because, facing the Tang Army's catapults and bed crossbows, he had no way to crack them.
The only way is to rely on the city wall to protect yourself and hide yourself.
However, this can only alleviate temporary needs.
Because the stones from the Tang Army's catapults hit the city wall, and the city wall was shaking. The city wall also became loose after several impacts. In some places, the city walls had been smashed into gaps.
"Send orders to the soldiers who have not participated in the battle to prepare themselves."??Once Tang City is captured by the Tang Army, we will fight to the death with them in the city! " Zhuo Qing ordered.
In fact, he came up with this order after careful consideration for a long time!
Because he knew very well that the most powerful force of the Tang Army was the heavy cavalry, but when fighting in Qingtang City, the heavy cavalry battalion would not be able to exert its power. How big an advantage can you get?
Therefore, Zhuo Qing took the defense of the city very lightly. His purpose was to fight in the streets of the city, dealing a fatal blow to the Tang army and causing great losses.
In the distance, Du Junchuo, who led the army to attack the city, saw that the situation was ripe and gave the order to attack the city.
As soon as the command flag was raised, two Tang army formations of 5,000 people began to move slowly towards Qingtang City. The ladders were also driven by the Tang army's infantry and continued to approach Qingtang City. When they were three hundred steps away from Qingtang City, , the archers of the Tang Army also began to show off their power, shooting feather arrows at the towers of Qingtang City.
"kill¡ª¡ª"
Reaching a distance of three hundred steps, the Tang army's siege infantry began to charge, and they reached the corner of the Qingtang City wall in one breath. The infantry of the Tang Army began to attack the city. They built ladders to climb up. They pushed rams and rammed the city gates of Qingtang City. Their ladders kept approaching the walls of Qingtang City.
The display of catapults and crossbows just now put the Tibetan defenders into panic, and the charge of the Tang army caught the Tubo defenders off guard. They saw that part of the city head of Qingtang City had been attacked by the Tang army. controlled by infantry. Gradually, this advantage became obvious, and Tang army infantry continued to attack the city, curbing the arrogance of the Tibetan defenders to counterattack.
But at this time, Du Junchuo's face did not look happy, but fell into deep thought.
Because, at this critical moment, he did not see Zhuo Qing, the guard of Qingtang City.
The city is in danger and the general is not on the city commanding the army to defend the city. What is this phenomenon?
Escape from battle? Zhuo Qing is not such a person!
¡°Could it be that the Tubo people have another plan?
When Du Junchuo thought of this, he glanced at Su Dingfang beside him, and saw Su Dingfang staring intently at Qingtang City in front of him, not knowing what he was thinking.
Du Junchuo knew that Su Dingfang did not want to interfere in his siege battle, so he did not second guess the coach's thoughts, but decisively issued the military order.
"Instruct Li Xianzhong's elite cavalry to prepare for battle!" Du Junchuo ordered.
"Nuo"'s personal guards took the order and left.
At this moment, a fast horse was seen riding in front of Du Junchuo and Su Dingfang.
"Report to the general, General Yu Wenguo from the front has sent news that he has discovered a group of 50,000 Tibetan elite cavalry rushing towards Qingtang City!" the scout replied.
"Fifty thousand people? Is Sang Xiong leading the army?" Su Dingfang asked calmly.
"I don't know!" the scout replied.
"Let Yuwen Guo and Tuyan deal with it!" Su Dingfang said, "After receiving the order, Xue Li and Zadler must cooperate with Yuwen Guo and Tuyan to annihilate Sang Xiong and all the 50,000 troops."
When Su Dingfang gave the order, a glint flashed in his eyes.
"Nuo" scout took the order and left.
The scouts left, and Su Dingfang also rode away. He came towards his Chinese army's tent.
Because the appearance of Sang Xiong meant that the Tubo army was not far away from him, and he had to make some preparations. The enemy has 200,000 elite cavalry, and he does not want to underestimate the opponent.
Su Dingfang left, and Du Junchuo continued to order four phalanxes of 5,000 people to attack Qingtang City.
When these four or five thousand people attacked Qingtang City, they put a lot of pressure on the Tibetan defenders on Qingtang City. They saw that they continued to retreat, giving up the city they were guarding step by step to the attackers. Tang Jun. The Tang army also fought step by step. Every time they took a step forward, one of their comrades died under the sword of the Tubo people. Therefore, their eyes were full of anger, the blood in their chests was burning, and they fought desperately towards the Tubo defenders.
¡°Bang the drum¡ª¡ª¡± Du Junchuo shouted.
"Dong dong dong" The war drums began to sound, and the drums greatly encouraged the Tang army's momentum.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Du Junchuo once again sent four phalanxes of 5,000 men. This was the last 20,000 men among the Tang army's siege infantry. These two men were sent to the top of the city, which meant that they must be solved today. In the battle, Qingtang City must be captured.
¡°Kill¡ª¡ª¡± Twenty thousand Tang Army infantry attacked Qingtang City again.
