Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1257 Reinforcement arrives

The fire in the Tubo barracks burned throughout the second half of the night.

It wasn't until dawn that it finally went out.

The fire is extinguished, but the smoke is still lingering.

The Tubo soldiers and horses were a little disgraced in order to fight the fire, and they didn't have much rest, and they are all exhausted now.

Some fighters fell asleep directly lying on the ground.

Some other fighters can close their eyes while standing.

They are just too sleepy.

Songtsan Gampo was staying in the big tent, and someone was reporting the damage from last night.

But when the detailed list was submitted, Songtsan Gampo's face became very ferocious and terrifying.

His fists were clenched tightly.

"Damn, damn..."

The loss last night was more than he imagined.

Not only the loss of soldiers and horses, but also some food, weapons and so on.

The loss of food and grass will make them very passive in the next battle.

"Zanpu, the Tang army is really going too far. They even used such a shady trick. The last general suggested that we lead the army to attack Songzhou City now, break it down in one fell swoop, and then massacre and plunder the city."

Slaughtering cities can bring them pleasure.

The kind of pleasure they couldn't bring by killing Tang Jun.

However, after the general finished speaking, some tribal leaders immediately stood up.

"Zanpu, the Tang army is really hateful, but our soldiers have been busy all night and didn't have much rest. I'm afraid we can't go to war like this?"

"That's right, our soldiers are going to fight like this, they are simply dying, why don't they let them rest and attack the city tomorrow."

"Tomorrow, we will definitely be able to capture Songzhou City, so there is no need to rush now."

"Our army's morale is not stable, so it is not suitable to attack the city."

The chiefs of the tribe are somewhat opposed to the siege.

Their soldiers are really exhausted. If they attack the city with this rain, it will be a big loss for them.

Although they all obey Songtsan Gampo, they still want to preserve their own strength to the greatest extent, and they don't want to make too many sacrifices, especially some indifferent sacrifices.

As the tribal leader said, Songtsan Gampo frowned slightly.

He wants to attack the city immediately, because if it is delayed for a day, there will be a day of danger. Datang has sent reinforcements. If they can't capture Songzhou City as soon as possible, when the reinforcements from Datang come, they want to attack the city. Going down to Songzhou City, I'm afraid it will not be easy.

However, he had to listen to the opinions of these tribal leaders.

Although he is Zanpu of Tubo now, controlling everything in Tubo, he is very clear that these tribal leaders in Tubo are also ambitious people. They have not done anything now, but they have not waited for the right time.

Moreover, in this battle, he still has to rely on the soldiers and horses of these tribes. Otherwise, if they don't actively fight, the next battle may not be able to continue.

He knew exactly what these tribal leaders meant, but even if he knew, he had to consider their situation.

After thinking for a while, Songtsan Gampo could only bite his lips and said: "That's right, the soldiers are too sleepy, so let them rest for a day. We will attack the city again tomorrow morning. However, we will attack the city today." You must take precautions at night, what happened last night must never happen again."

If the Tang army is still allowed to cheat the camp, then they may not be able to attack the city tomorrow.

After the order went on like this, someone answered it soon.
-
Although the fraudulent camp was successful yesterday, Niu Jinda woke up early this morning.

He must always pay attention to Tubo's movements.

If Tubo still attacked the city, he could only bring his soldiers and horses and fight to the death.

However, when the sun had already risen, there was no movement at the Tubo barracks.

After seeing this, Niu Jinda breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew that Tubo would not attack the city today.

Their hope of defending Songzhou City has increased.

The day passed like this, and it was very quiet.

But on the second day, Niu Jinda and the other Tang troops seemed a little heavy.

Tubo did not fight yesterday, but today, they must attack the city.

And when Tubo attacked the city, they would be under great pressure.

Time slowly, dawn breaks.

Songtsan Gampo galloped quickly to the foot of Songzhou City with a group of Tubo soldiers and horses.

Niu Jinda glanced at Songtsan Gampo, and then chuckled: "The feeling of the night before yesterday, it's not good, why did you recover so quickly?"

Songtsan Gampo snorted coldly: "Don't get complacent too early, when I capture Songzhou City today, I need you to look good."

The two said something each, and immediately after, the angry Songtsan Gampo waved his hands impatiently, causing the Tubo soldiers to rush to kill them.

The Tubo soldiers were angry, so they rushed over with great momentum.

Niu Jinda originally wanted to delay for a while, but never thought that Songtsan Gampo would attack directly. Obviously, the fire of anger had already burned in Songtsan Gampo's heart.

He couldn't wait any longer.

Or, he knew that Datang's reinforcements would arrive soon, and he had to capture Songzhou City before Datang's reinforcements arrived.

His time is running out.

Niu Jinda frowned slightly, then drew out his weapon, and shouted: "Protect me Datang, kill me."

Sharp arrows flew down from Songzhou City, and there were not many boulders left, but they were still thrown down one by one by Tang Jun.

Although Tubo's soldiers and horses are strong, it is impossible to break through Songzhou City immediately.

After the killing started, the smell of blood soon permeated.

The two sides continued to fight like this, with soldiers dying and falling from the tower, some from the Tang army, and some from the Tubo soldiers who attacked.

As time went by, the casualties on both sides increased.

When it was almost noon, Songzhou City showed signs that it was about to lose its hold.

Seeing this, Songtsan Gampo showed a sneer: "Songzhou City, I must destroy it. When I destroy Songzhou City, I want you Tang people to look good."

As he spoke, Songtsan Gampo immediately roared again, "Fight me, kill me..."

The soldiers and horses of Tubo rushed frantically. They had already seen hope, so they had to work harder. They knew that they would definitely be able to capture Songzhou City.

During the crisis in Songzhou City, Niu Jinda had blood and sweat on his forehead.

"How to do?"

The heart of the fight to the death has been raised.

But at this moment, yellow sand was flying in the distance, and horseshoes burst out, and then, the flags with Tang and Qin written on them were fluttering in the wind.

"Reinforcements...reinforcements have arrived."

"Master Qin is here, Songzhou City is saved, Songzhou City is saved."

"Long live the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will surely win..."

"Long live the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will win, the Tang Dynasty will win..."
