Datang Longya

Chapter 810 Guazhou Dafeichuan

Like Lingnan, Guazhou has also ushered in the biggest test in history.

The battle between the Tubo people and Guazhou has lasted for many years, and this time they dispatched troops, naturally they were the first to find Guazhou.

In the past, only some tribes attacked Guazhou, but this time, it was most of the Tubo troops who attacked Guazhou.

Facing the tide-like attack from the Tubo people, Zhang Shougui couldn't help but wipe off his cold sweat.

Fortunately, the city wall of Guazhou has been strengthened and raised a lot not long ago, otherwise it may not be able to resist the Tubo people who are not afraid of death.

Under the city wall of Guazhou, the corpses of the Tubo people have been piled up three or four layers.

The Tubo people are brave by nature. As long as the leader gives the order to attack, even if they step on the corpse of their companions, they will not retreat.

Seeing more layers of corpses rising below the city, Zhang Shougui couldn't help asking Li Jing, "Duke Wei, don't we still use gunpowder weapons?"

Since Li Jing arrived, he had handed over his power and retreated to the second line. Facing such a situation, he could only ask Li Jing.

Li Jing admired Zhang Shougui very much and said, "It's still early, the courage of the Tubo people is at its peak at this time. Although gunpowder weapons are powerful, they are not enough to break the confidence of the Tubo people."

Zhang Shougui nodded. The bravery of the Tubo people is a big problem. The ethnic group who are struggling for their lives on the plateau and in the ice and snow are born with little fear. Their fearlessness is well-known around Datang. .

It can be said that all members of Tubo are dead soldiers.

A fighter who puts life and death aside is even more terrifying.

The sun shifted from east to west, and the siege battle continued throughout the day.

Seeing that the frequency of the Tubo people's attacks began to decrease, Li Jing gave the order: "Throw the thunder, prepare the thunder arrow!"

After finally waiting for the order, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and began to ignite the fuze, throwing the thunder that had been prepared long ago down the city wall.

Boom boom boom.
The sound of thunderous explosions kept ringing, and blood splashed under the city, like a fountain in hell.

The city wall, which was originally hideous, was dyed mostly blood red at this moment.

The appearance of gunpowder weapons surprised the Tibetans.

There were no gunpowder weapons before, and it was so difficult for them to attack Guazhou. Now that gunpowder weapons have appeared, how can they fight?
After a day of fighting, they were already exhausted, but now Tang Jun didn't need to shoot arrows or push ladders, but could take away two or three of their companions with just a light throw.

"withdraw troops!"

Lu Dongzan, who was watching the battle from behind, almost gritted his teeth before saying this order.

It's not that their Tubo soldiers are not brave enough!

It's not that they don't have enough troops!

So what if the Guazhou City Wall is repaired and reinforced?They can still break through Tubo.

However, adding gunpowder weapons is different.

It was also a whole day of fighting, and both sides were exhausted, but no matter how hard Tang Jun was, he still had the strength to throw thunder.

And the Tang army hiding in the city wall was not afraid that the gunpowder weapons would blow themselves up.

How despicable!
A soldier beside Lu Dongzan asked angrily, "Prime Minister, why did you withdraw our troops? We have killed so many people. After withdrawing our troops, those people will die in vain!"

Lu Dongzan was already angry, but when he heard what the soldiers said, it seemed like adding fuel to the fire.

"Idiot! Did you see that thing that exploded? With that thing in place, no matter how many people we go to, it's a dead end! Even if we take Guazhou, how many people do you think we have left?"

What's the point of such a lose-lose war?
Tubo tore up the friendship with Datang, if it can't get a large piece of land, it's not worth it.

This time the whole world attacked Tang, and all the countries around Datang took action.After defeating Datang, how much land can be obtained depends on the strength of each country.Lu Dongzan didn't believe a word of Yuan Gai Suwen's promise.

Don't fight hard for now!

Ordering the barracks to retreat, Lu Dongzan decided to change to a harassing attack, to see if Guazhou could reveal its flaws, so that he could break through it at a lower cost.

"Duke Wei, the Tubo people have really retreated!"

On the city wall, Zhang Shougui's eyes were full of disbelief.

The Tubo people, who were indomitable, retreated this time.

Li Jing smiled: "It's just temporarily frightened. Don't forget that we haven't revealed our strength in this battlefield, and we need to relieve them of pressure in other battlefields. Pass on the order and take advantage of the time to go out of the city to clean up the corpses tomorrow." , Bomb the Tibetans again!"

Li Jing's decision was correct, because only about [-]% of the Tubo army attacked Guazhou.

The remaining [-]% are basically in Dafeichuan!

Here in Dafeichuan, the altitude is high and the climate is extremely cold. In other places, it is only autumn, but a layer of heavy snow has already fallen here.

Inside the simple city walls of Dafeichuan, Yu Chigong and Cheng Yaojin were both sitting in front of the fire, shivering under quilts.

it's too cold!If it wasn't for their lack of cotton, they would probably freeze to death here.

A few days ago, they had an encounter with the Tubo people. The battle only lasted for a stick of incense, and it ended hastily.

There is no way, both sides are frozen to death, if there is a direct fight, tens of thousands of people will be frozen into ice sculptures.

Yu Chigong opened the teapot, poured a cup of warm water for Cheng Yaojin: "This place is really evil, the water is boiled, but it is not hot at all, there is no hot water to drink, I am afraid that I will freeze to death here sooner or later."

Cheng Yaojin drank a cup of tea and said: "Be content, anyway, we don't lack clothes and tents to keep out the cold, and Shuzhong also sent us a lot of meat. How can we get such treatment when we send troops before?"

After drinking tea, the faces of the two of them improved a lot. They pulled off the quilt and walked out.

Dafeichuan does not have a decent city defense, they can only build fortifications based on the terrain here.

The only good news is that Dafeichuan is really a traffic artery, and it is the only shortcut for Tubo and other countries to invade Datang.

Battleground.

It must be held here.

Stepping out of the tent, Cheng Yaojin shivered, seeing that the soldiers outside had prepared gunpowder weapons, he said, "Let's do it."

Since Dafeichuan didn't have city defenses, they had to build one.

In such a cold place, building a city defense is very hard work, but if you don't build a city defense at this time, as long as the Tubo side leans over, they will be in danger.

It is stupid to build a city during this severe cold period, but in order to make life easier in the future, they have to bite the bullet.

The thunder was buried in the cliff, and after a burst of explosions, the stones shattered all over the place.

There is nothing else here in Dafeichuan, there are stones everywhere.

If it wasn't for the toughness of the rocks on the cliff, they wouldn't waste gunpowder weapons.

The appearance of gunpowder weapons terrified the Tibetans in Dafeichuan. They didn't have binoculars and couldn't see Tang Jun's movements. They could only hear the terrifying explosions.

What frightened them the most was that not long after the explosion sounded from Tangren's side, the mountain on their side collapsed in an avalanche!

Cheng Yaojin didn't know that the loud noise of gunpowder weapons was the most likely to induce an avalanche, but unintentionally, it caused a lot of casualties to the Tibetans.

Not long after, Tang Junhui witchcraft began to be spread in Tubo, who could invite the god of the snow mountain to send down an avalanche.

This is not the point, the point is that the God of Snow Mountain is their god.
The Tubo people stationed in Dafeichuan burst into tears.
