Chapter 942: Attack Nagqu City

Seeing that Ileduqi finally made a statement, Sonam Qunpei and the Fifth Dalai Lama were both happy. The three of them then began to discuss the details and prepared to do what they should do if they get the news of Turubaihu's defeat.

In the end, the three agreed that in order to win greater contributions, as long as they get the news, they would immediately raise the flag of lowering and send envoys to join the Tang army. In order to avoid being unable to deal with it, they would let the rebels in southern Tibet get the news and steal the first merit from themselves, which would be more than worth the loss.

In the face of interests, it has nothing to do with father and son. Such a situation is really amazing.

Their private plots are here, and Gu Shihan Tulubaihu, who was defending the city in Naqu City, was completely unaware of it, and still made every effort to plan for defense in the city, in order to hold the Tang army under the city as much as possible.

With the cooperation of the Tang army in the west and east, the Tang army gathered outside Naqu City, after more than half a month of assembly, finally all gathered outside Naqu City and prepared all combat preparations.

On this day, the morning light surged, and the loud Swan roared loudly, and the Tang army finally began to attack the city.

When he heard the siege horn coming from outside the city, Tulubaihu, the commander of Naqu City who was still in a hangover, woke up from his sleep instantly.

Tulubaihu rubbed his swollen eyes, and his heart was shocked and suspicious. Why was it so good? Why did the siege alarm sound? Could it be that the Tang army began to siege the city today?

But the Qucheng City is so powerful that the city is solid and the defense is well prepared. It is not so easy for the Tang army to attack the city.

At this moment, the door slammed and was pushed open suddenly, and a panting soldier ran in quickly.

"Report to General, big things are bad!" The soldier replied with a look of horror and panting: "There are a large number of Tang soldiers outside the city, pushing hundreds of cannons towards the north gate of my Naqu City, shouting and attacking!"

The soldier's words were like a scoop of cold water, poured down from Turubaihu's head, and he stood up from the head of the bed, his eyes wide open.

Okay, after being silent for so many days, the Tang army finally started to attack the city!

"Let's go! Take Ben Khan to see it!"

"Abide by the order!"

Tulubaihu, who came to the head of Naqu City, followed the soldier's arm and saw in horror that in the north of Naqu City, a total of up to 180 heavy artillery of the same size were pushed out in the dense Tang army formation, forming a straight line, and slowly pushing forward. These heavy artillery that were moving silently shone with a faint silver light under the reflection of the rising sun.

180 steel heavy dragon beating guns flashing with silver gray were slowly pushed one thousand meters outside the north gate of Nagqu by Tang army gunners. Next, Tang army gunners began to fix the gun frame, adjust the firing angle, load gunpowder and shells, and soon made preparations for combat.

These 180 heavy dragon guns lined up along the right side of the city wall on the south side of Naqu City, with majestic momentum. The black muzzle was facing the opposite Naqu City wall. Its awesome aura made the enemy guarding the city so scared that they began to weaken their legs.

Good guy, these cannons look so scary that you can imagine how amazing the power will be once they are released.

The main general Tulubaihu saw such a terrifying cannon for the first time in his life, and his face was filled with cold sweat.

At this time, there were many young and strong men and women who were drawn from the people to participate in defending the city. For these people, it was the first time in their lives that they had seen such a strange-shaped huge cannon. In addition to fear and worry, they also felt inexplicably excited and curious.

...

In the continuous sound of huge cannons that shook the eardrums, the guns of 180 heavy dragon storms immediately floated with bloody red flames, and a dazzling golden flame flashed. In the thick and choking white smoke, 180 huge black iron bombs weighing 32 pounds, with the sound of death, hit the north wall of Naqu City hard.

Amid the dull and heavy impact, these 100 black 32-pound iron bullets seemed to have eyes, and in a uniform distribution state, hit the right side of the entire northern city wall.

Nearly a hundred large holes appeared on the right side of the north wall of Naqu City in an instant. At the edge of each hole, thick and broken lines were as dense as spider webs, spreading unscrupulously to the surround. Large pieces of bricks of the city wall splashed and cracked, and a piece of dust filled the fog. The entire northern wall was trembling violently as if it had asthma.

On the north wall, a large number of Tulubai Hu soldiers whose ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths were bleeding from their ears, eyes, nostrils and mouths were all shocked, and their qi and blood were surging. In front of them were covered by choking dust, and the city wall under their feet was shaking violently. Nearly a hundred Tibetan soldiers who were unstable stood still, even more like broken leaves blowing from the wind, fell off the city wall with screams and then fell into meat pie.

The Tang army's heavy artillery fire this time caused the northern wall of Naqu City to fall into a considerable chaos.

The Tibetan soldiers who had experience in the battlefield were in good condition and could barely support them. However, the large number of young and strong men and women who were bleed from the mouth and nose, covered in dust, and had no combat experience, screamed in horror, turned around and ran away from the horse road in the city wall, turned around and ran away.

"Don't run away! Come back quickly and continue to defend the city wall! Those who violate military orders will be killed without any hesitation!"

The Tulubaihu, who was struck by the surging waves of sand and dust, was covered in dust and hair, looked extremely embarrassed as if he had just walked out of the desert.

He coughed violently, stood up with the walls of the city, and roared at the Tibetan soldiers who were fleeing to stop the chaos. However, in this chaos, although he shouted at the top of his lungs, the effect was not great. A young and strong man who had been shocked and deaf, ran past Tulubaihu, and did not hear the warning of the highest commander of Naqu City.

"Bastard, don't run!"

Tulubaihu was both angry and angry. He pulled out the sharp sword, shouted angrily, stabbed the escaped guy with a big hole from behind to his chest. The escaped young man shook his body for a moment, then fell backwards from the city wall, and fell into a pile of meat pie.

Finally, after Turubaihu and his guards slashed seven or eight people in succession, the Tibetan troops who were beaten to Mongolia were stabilized again. The escapees returned to their posts in fear, and the situation on the entire northern city wall was slightly stable.

At this time, the Tang army gunners who had just finished the first round of volleys were clearing the chamber, loading and filling the bullets, preparing for the next round of shooting.

Tulubai clenched his teeth, his heart was full of anger. His eyes turned and he ordered: "Put down the suspension bridge, all the cavalry will immediately go out of the city to attack. Be sure to kill all the Tang army gunners! Let their cannons turn into squids, dead cannons!"

"Get orders!"

Soon, two thousand elite cavalry in the city, after putting down the North Gate Suspension Bridge and opening the city gate, rushed out of the city together.

The two thousand cavalrymen had just crossed the suspension bridge when they heard another bang behind them.

A cavalry looked back subconsciously, but saw that the suspension bridge was being pulled up by the soldiers on the city wall, and the city gate had already been tightly closed.

For a moment, all the cavalry's faces were filled with lonely and lonely expressions.

They knew that Tulubaihu had decided to use them as abandoned children when he did this. As long as they led their troops out of the city, they would have to go to the battlefield.

One general succeeds and thousands of bones are undone. This is the fate of a soldier.

Seeing that the Tibetan cavalry who left the city showed a hesitation and helplessness when they left the city, Tulubaihu couldn't bear it. He gritted his teeth hard, his eyes were blood red.

"Brothers, come forward quickly. As long as you kill the Tang army gunners, I will definitely not treat everyone unfairly. After you come back, I will personally celebrate your merits!" Tulubaihu shouted loudly at the top of the city at the top of the city.

Hearing the encouragement of the chief general, the cavalry who left the city knew that now, there was no other way to go except to fight to kill the Tang army gunners.

Sadly, what else can Tulubaihu do besides believing this false statement? After all, it is difficult to violate the military law and those who disobey orders will be executed immediately. So, they shouted like a beast in unison, then pounded their horse's belly, rushed forward towards the Tang army artillery formation in the distance.

The horse's hooves were rumbling and dust was flying. On this midsummer morning, the Tibetan cavalry galloped on horseback, shooting towards the Tang army's artillery formation like an arrow from a string.

Eight hundred steps!

Six hundred steps!

Three hundred steps!

When they reached the right time, only about 300 steps away from the row of Tang army artillery, a group of Tibetan cavalry quickly dispersed into a row of straight lines. In everyone's eyes, the Tang army gunners who had already been watching him and were about to kill him in front of him. While taking out a bow and arrow aimed, they were pounding the horse's belly harder and rushing forward quickly.

The effective attack distance of the bow and arrow is 60 steps, so they have to speed up and rush to this distance, so that the Tang army gunners can taste the power of the fast bow and heavy arrows.

"Roar, rush over and shoot all these Tang army gunners!"

As they ran closer and closer, the Tibetan cavalry roared like a group of crazy wild animals. With the rumbling sound of horse hooves, these Tibetan cavalry with bows and arrows pulled the bowstrings to the Tang army gunners on the opposite side.

It can be expected that as long as they run within range, these Tang army gunners will definitely escape from the Tibetan army's heavy arrows.

What these Tibetan cavalry did not expect was that when this seemed to be smooth, an accident happened.

All the Tibetan cavalry clearly saw that these Tang army gunners turned around and fled backwards like bunnies chased by eagles, but behind them, there were dense rows of musketeers.

To be precise, it was two rows of musketeers with more than 4,000 people. Because they stood in one row, knelt on one row, covered in a burning fuse, holding the loaded muskets, quickly set up their aiming posture, and the entire formation could not be seen from the beginning.
