Chapter 132: Battle of Songzhou (2)

Although most of the Tubo people were shielded, the small shield could not stop their bodies. Under the shooting of dense arrows, most of the first thousands of Tubo soldiers who siege the city were shot and killed before they even arrived at the moat, leaving behind corpses and wounded people in the ground, some undead people, struggling on the ground, constantly sending out mourning calls. Only a few people retreated to the range of bows and arrows, but most of the retreating soldiers were killed by the Tubo officers who supervised the battle.

The retreating soldiers were punished to warn other soldiers to advance bravely, which is a common thing among all the troops. Han Wei and others on the city tower did not have any special feelings about this.

"This is the first wave of attacks in the Tubo people, and they are mainly tentative. The attacks that follow will be even more fierce," Han Wei said to the soldiers around him, "A warning, the rest will rest immediately and save their physical strength!"

No one knows when the Tubo siege will continue. If the city is siege continuously for a day, the soldiers who are already defending the city will be overdrawn in physical strength. Han Wei wants to take advantage of the Tubo people's retreat and the next attack has not yet begun, and let the soldiers immediately take a break to maintain their physical strength.

This time, the siege of thousands of Tubo soldiers did not pose any threat to the Tang soldiers guarding the city tower. Even the Tubo people's arrows were shot up by a few. Only a few unlucky soldiers were shot by the sporadic arrows of the Tubo people, and were slightly injured. Han Wei was quite satisfied with such a result. With such an effective blow to the enemy, there were no casualties, which was the best result.

Han Wei was also proud of the city defense he arranged: the moat was temporarily mobilized by soldiers and the people in the city to dig wide and deep, and the river water was still diverted from two places. In addition to the Minjiang River water, there was also a waterfall on the mountain beside the city. If the Tubo people were able to cut off the Minjiang River water, the water in the moat would not dry out; each city gate was piled with soil. Even if the Tubo people bumped into the city gate or crashed into a car, it would be useless. The first thing they had to face was to quickly block the entire city gate. Unless the soil blocked the city gate was transported away first, it would be possible to use the impact of the city gate to hit the city gate. However, the suspension bridge had been closed, and the Tubo people must cross the moat to transport soil.

Facing the arrow attacks of the defenders on the city tower, this is basically impossible.

"General, the Tubo people are here again," Han Wei was thinking, and a captain on the city gate tower who was responsible for checking the enemy situation pointed to the distance outside the city and shouted loudly.

Although there were many telescopes in the Tang army, the guards in Songzhou, which was at the junction of Jiannan and Longyou, were only equipped before this war. When transporting combat power supplies and ordnances, the Ministry of War sent two telescopes to the Songzhou garrison. Han Wei used one by himself, and the other was handed over to the on-duty lieutenant who was watching Feng on the city gate tower.

Han Wei heard the news and quickly walked to the battlement side, raised the telescope in his hand and looked at it. A little further away, more Tubo infantry gathered together to form a very wide section and slowly advance.

"Prepare for the battle," Han Wei ordered, and the soldiers who were temporarily resting ran to their posts as fast as possible, picked up bows and arrows in their hands.

Watching the Tubo people slowly moving forward in the telescope, Han Wei could even see the fearful expressions of the Tubo soldiers in front of him, but under the strict orders of some supervising officers waving their swords, he still walked forward.

The faces of the Tubo people gradually magnified in the telescope. Han Wei removed the telescope, looked at the distance with his naked eyes, and put the telescope in front of him, "Prepare..."

As the guards beside him repeated the sound of Han Wei's orders loudly, the Tang soldiers pulled the bows in their hands and raised them at a certain angle of elevation.

The Tubo people slowly moved to the approximate range of the Tang army's bow and arrow. After an extremely loud sound behind them, the Tubo soldiers on the entire section suddenly began to accelerate, shouting loudly, stepping on the bodies of those companions in front, and running under the city wall.

Some Tubo soldiers who had fallen to the ground and were still injured were also trampled to death.

"Let me go!" Han Wei's mouth suddenly popped out of this word!

With the whistling of arrows, the Tubo people running in the front fell down a large area, followed by the second and third rounds... The continuous arrows shot towards the Tubo people's attacking array. With the constant screams, like the grass after the lawn mower, where did the Tubo people fall in pieces?

There were a few arrows in the Tubo formation shooting into the city, but when they flew to the city tower, their castration was already weak. Most of the Tang soldiers were wearing armor, and these arrows had no lethality.

Although the Tang army's bows and arrows were extremely lethal, there were quite a few Tubo people rushing over. After a large number of soldiers were shot, many people rushed to the moat and tried to build a bridge with a ladder to cross a moat more than ten feet wide.

More and more Tubo soldiers gathered at the moat, and the angle of Tang soldiers' archery was adjusted. Some continued to rush into the group of Tubo soldiers who rushed over from afar, and some poked out and shot at the Tubo people on the moat.

Many Tubo people fell in the moat, and some walked halfway through the ladder, were shot by arrows, or stood unsteadily and fell into the river.

Most of the Tubo people on the plateau don’t know how to swim, and some of the undead fell into the river, and after struggling for a few times, they sank down.

"Use stones, attack with wood!" Han Wei ordered again. He saw several ladders put together, and a large group of Tubo people wanted to rush across the moat in a dense manner. It was a good time to attack with stones and wood.

In addition to arrows, there were also many large stones on the city tower. Large sections of squash fell down and fell among the piles of Tubo people. It was amazingly powerful. Some Tubo soldiers' heads were smashed and their red and white brains were flowing out.

There were constant stones and slugs, and dense arrow attacks. Very few Tubo people could cross the moat. Even some soldiers who stepped on the ladder were hit by arrow rain, stones, and thick slugs before they rushed to the walls on the other side of the moat and were hit by arrows, stones, and the thick slugs, and poured into the river.

Soon, many Tubo people's corpses fell from the moat, sinking or floating, and even the river water began to turn red.

"General Su, your troops, use arrows to suppress the reinforcements of Tubo people, General Ma, your troops will shoot all the Tubo people under the city," Han Wei watched as the Tubo people under the city slowly went away, and some Tubo soldiers from afar were still coming here to reinforce, and immediately gave an order.

The personal guards around him repeated Han Wei's orders loudly!

"No!" Su Qing and another Lang general called Ma Heng responded in unison.

There are fewer and fewer Tubo soldiers standing by the moat, and more and more soldiers are falling down and falling into the moat.

Some ladders were also hit by large stones and broke into several pieces!

There were nearly 10,000 Tubo people who had hit this wave, and most of them had been injured and killed, but the next wave of Tubo soldiers rushed to the moat as they shot the Tang army's arrows.

"Ru Ben, the Tang army's bows and arrows are too lethal. We can't rush so hard. The moat is too wide and cannot rush to the edge of the city, let alone climbing to the city," said a general next to Ningba.

"I just want to use the corpses of these slaves to fill the moat in Songzhou, and then send our warriors to charge, climb the Songzhou city tower, and kill all these Han people!" Ningba felt very unhappy when he witnessed such a tragic battle, but he was still very tough when he spoke.

Those who died were not his Benru's people. Ningba was already planning to let these people die. The lenient moat could only rush over with the bodies of these people to fill them up.

"But, Ruben..."

"Stop talking, pass on my order, and send another 10,000 slaves to rush forward. You must rush to the edge of the Songzhou city wall!" Ningba roared.

"Ruben! We can use a few troops to continuously charge, so that the Tang army cannot rest and consume their arrows. The Tang army will always be unable to support them, and their arrows will be used up for a day..." The general still wanted to advise Ningba not to charge like this.

"You are afraid of death, go to death," Ningba pulled out his waist and stabbed the general in the chest. The general screamed, blood spurted out from his chest, and fell to the ground to die.

"If anyone dares to retreat, that's the end!" Ningba's face was very ferocious, "Send the order and continue to attack!"

Although Ningba killed this talkative general, he still paid attention to what the general said before his death. He had organized such a siege charge of more than 10,000 people. Not to mention attacking the city tower, even few people arrived by the city wall. Most of the slave soldiers fell on the way to charge, or were shot to death by Tang army arrows by the moat, and were hit by stones, wood and other things. This is indeed not a solution.

"General, we successfully resisted two waves of attacks from the Tubo people," Su Qing ran over to report to Han Wei.

Most of the more than 10,000 Tubo soldiers who were sieging the city turned into lifeless corpses in a blink of an eye, piled up in front of Songzhou City or floated in the moat, and the rest became wounded by the corpses.

None of the Tubo people who attacked this wave of attacks ran away.

Escape back is also dead, and rushing to the edge of the city is also dead, and Tubo soldiers have no choice.

"The Tubo people will not give up," Han Wei looked at the blood-red moat water, and then looked at the dark Tubo army in the distance. "How is the casualties of our army?"

"Only 35 people in our army were killed and dozens of people were injured!" Su Qing had an unconcealed joy on his face.

Such a battle result was too unexpected. Did the Tubo people not have any bows and arrows? With such an impact of more than ten thousand people, there were not many arrows shot on the city tower. The arrows shot up were also very poorly. Su Qing couldn't figure it out, would Tubo people not use bows and arrows to fight?

"Okay! OK!" Han Wei was extremely excited when he heard this news. He defended the city and resisted the attacks of the Tubo people on the city tower. The result of this battle was so brilliant, and it was many times better than the record of leading troops to ambush the Tubo people!

"General, the Tubo people are starting to attack again!" The captain who was looking down on his face issued a battle alarm again!

"Prepare for the battle!" Han Wei roared.

The soldiers sitting on the ground resting quickly stood up and ran to their combat posts again.

The continuous shooting and throwing stones down, some soldiers' arms were already sore, and they were nervous and didn't feel much when they were fighting. After a break, they felt overdrawn in their physical strength.

More soldiers of the Tubo people are about to start attacking again, and everyone has forgotten their fatigue and is ready to fight again!

"General, the Tubo people have stopped moving forward!" the looking captain exclaimed.

Han Wei saw the Tubo people who stopped moving forward in confusion, and then heard the whimpering sound of something, and the Tubo army slowly retreated.

What are the Tubo people going to do? The Tang soldiers on the city tower are all confused...
