People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1249: Tubo, God hates it

To the south of Nagqu City, by the Cuona River.

There are densely packed tents all the way to the south bank of the Yangtze River.

Countless boats, large and small, ply back and forth on the river without any hindrance.

Even further away, the black-armored cavalry was already running at the end of the line of sight.

Naqu has been completely isolated.

……

On the north bank, horses neighed and there were many swords and guns.

Under the black banner, Li Xuan handed the secret letter to Xiao Siye and said softly: "Tomorrow, Her Royal Highness Princess Wenchang will be taken back to Nagqu."

Xiao Siye took the secret letter, glanced at it, handed it to Yang Zhirou and Wei Hongji, and said earnestly: "If Her Royal Highness the Princess can return to Chang'an, the government and the public will be extremely excited, and the commander-in-chief will do a great job."

"You all have equally contributed." Li Xuan smiled and said: "General Zuo Xiaowei attacked under the Tubo city and killed a lot of people. Before the Tubo cavalry could react, he directly picked up the princess and left. The Tubo people wanted to chase, but We don’t dare to pursue them, they must have received the news about the defeat of Lun Qinling.”

"Concerning the defeat of Qinling, even if we don't have more detailed information, we can still imagine the shock in Tubo." Yang Zhirou cupped his hands, looked at Li Xuan and said: "The Gar family also has a strong military base in Tubo. This defeat of theirs , I am afraid that many years of military achievements will be ruined, and someone will inevitably be ready to take action."

"That's right, under this situation, we don't even need to do too many tricks, it's enough to subvert it internally." Li Xuan smiled, then looked at the song in front of him, and said softly: "So now , it’s time for me to take over this city.”

Xiao Siye and Yang Zhirou looked solemn. They had been at Nagqu City for six days.

To this day, there are still no white flags hung on the city.

Explain that Qin Ling is still alive.

Although their siege within a few days went smoothly, Qin Ling's survival still made them feel faintly uneasy, fearing that something might go wrong.

Everything is done carefully.

"Yesterday, I received a letter from Mr. Wang. In five days, a new batch of military rations will arrive in Tanggula Town. There will also be three thousand civilians accompanying them. After these people arrive, they will harvest grains and grasses in droves."

Li Xuan looked up at Xiao Siye and said, "Therefore, when they arrive, we need to appease the people, enter household registrations, and count the fields, so we will bother the county officials and run away."

"This is the responsibility of the lower official." Xiao Siye handed over his hands with a serious expression.

Li Xuan nodded, then looked at Yang Zhirou and said, "Brother Yang can also participate. The sooner things are settled, the sooner we can make preparations to attack Luoshou."

Attack Luo Luo, Li Xuan said something, and everyone's breathing became serious.

From Naqu to Luozhe, it is more than six hundred miles in total.

The cavalry galloped desperately, and in just two days and one night, they were now very close to Luozhu.

The reason why they stayed in Nagqu was because they knew very little about the situation further south in Tubo.

What is the military configuration in various parts of Tubo?

Who will support Logic from where?

Where are the possible battlefields?

How is the strength of the coach and the opponent's army?

They knew very little about these issues, and the only hope they could place now was Zuo Xiaowei's five thousand cavalry and the Princess Wencheng they brought back.

Therefore, before sending troops, they must stabilize their rear path, which is what they decided from the very beginning.

Their goal is not just to win the logic points and then grab a vote and leave, but to actually rule Tubo, which requires a lot of things to be done.

"I obey the order." Yang Zhirou solemnly held his hands.

Li Xuan looked up at Wei Hongji and said: "The army has been attacking for six days. Although it has not used all its strength, it has been enough to see through some of the truth. The young master has done a great job. Please continue today."

"Here!" Wei Hongji earnestly handed over his hands and turned to look at the entourage on the side.

The red pennant was waved, and in the next moment, among the thousands of cavalry, thirty catapults were pulled forward by soldiers and war horses.

Countless rolling stones were placed on one side, and the soldiers quickly moved to put the rolling stones on the stopped catapult.

With a "boom", more than thirty rolling stones hit the city wall hard, and the city wall suddenly began to shake violently.

Wei Hongji rode up from behind, quickly passed behind the catapults, and loudly ordered them to adjust their angles.

The next moment, the tall rolling stone flew up again, and finally landed hard behind the female wall, and countless blood spattered immediately.

Endless screams suddenly came from the city wall, but soon, someone came from behind to supplement.

……

Looking at the densely packed Tubo soldiers on the city wall, Li Xuan nodded slightly. The defender of Nagqu City, Dariha, was quite capable.

Nowadays, in the entire Naqu, the Tang Dynasty only attacked one place in the south, leaving three areas open to the east, west, and north.

But in the entire Naqu City, no one escaped from it.

It can be seen that this Dariha can still control some situations.

"After six days of siege, two thousand Tubo people have died, right?" Li Xuan turned sideways, and Xiao Siye immediately replied: "Yes."

"In other words, they recruited a lot of people from the people and slaves in the city." Li Xuan's eyes flashed slightly.

Xiao Siye's heart skipped a beat. He knew that Li Xuan had sent a lot of people into Nagqu before, and now it was time for these people to be put to use.

"Within six days, the water flow from outside the city into the city has been completely cut off. I think they must have had trouble more than once. Now, I am afraid no one has the time to calm down this kind of thing. There is also food, although a lot of it has been allocated. There are soldiers, but there are more people without food." Li Xuan smiled lightly.

Yang Zhirou couldn't help but said: "The city is still being attacked outside, and people are dying inside the city. There is a shortage of water and food. The people inside are already trying their best to comfort people, but if it is now..."

"Haha!" Li Xuan smiled and waved her hand, and Yang Zhirou immediately stopped.

At this point, the five-wheeled catapult attack was suspended.

Behind them, six three-foot-high archery towers were slowly approaching the city from the army formation.

The city wall of Naqu is only two feet high, but the arrow tower is already three feet high. At the top of the city, more than a dozen rolling stones were suddenly thrown violently, but they did not fly high or far, and they were not even accurate.

Li Xuan shook his head in his heart. Regarding the defeat of the Qinling army, none of the craftsmen in the army stayed in Nagqu.

General Naqu managed to get a catapult out, but there was no army.

The arrow tower had already approached three hundred steps, and with a "buzz" sound, countless arrows flew up and rushed directly towards the city.

The Tibetan soldiers on the city immediately fired back with arrows, but unfortunately, in addition to the corpses left on the ground, more Tibetan arrows fell directly under the arrow tower.

The Tubo's arrows are thin and light, and they can use the speed of their horses for cavalry raids, but in this kind of city defense battle, it is difficult for these arrows to hurt people.

The cowhide covered under the archery tower blocks the thin arrows that occasionally slip through the net. The archery tower continues to push forward, condescending, and its lethality is even more astonishing.

A Tibetan soldier fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow, but was quickly dragged away and his blood flowed all over the ground.

The people in the city were extremely depressed when they saw the carloads of corpses being pulled away.

At this time, outside the city, countless loud voices shouted in Tubo: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said in Tubo:

Since ancient times, emperors have ruled the world, and they have always lived in China to control the barbarians, while the barbarians have lived outside to serve China.

Within the four seas, no one will surrender; this is not a matter of human power, it is actually a gift from heaven.

Tubo is an evil neighbor and a surly country. It is unrighteous, cunning, aggressive, stingy and lewd. It has fake rituals, cunning and rampant...

I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sent some troops to attack Supi, plundered the Yangtong army, and forced them to the northern foot of Tanggula Mountain.

With one powerful blow, Naqu was destroyed in the south of the mountain; with one leap, Luo Zie was destroyed in an instant..."

……

The numb people in the city finally couldn't help but raise their heads at this time.

With one powerful blow, Naqu was broken in Shannan.

Isn't this their current situation? They can't control the logic or anything like that, but right now, Naqu's city is about to be destroyed.

Immediately, the voice sounded again: "When the heavenly soldiers come together, the soldiers will immediately fall apart, the livers and brains of the dead will be wiped out, and the bones and flesh of the living will not be preserved. Although it is caused by human affairs, it is the time when heaven is disgusted with its virtues and abandons it."

At this time, the sounds outside the city stopped, and then more loud shouts rang out: "The dead are torn to pieces, and the flesh and blood of the living are not preserved... Tubo, heaven is disgusted with it... Tubo, heaven is disgusted with it... Tubo, heaven is disgusted with it... …”

The sound kept ringing repeatedly, making people feel agitated and even dizzy.

"Tubo, God hates it." Lying on both sides of the street, many skinny people subconsciously began to read along.

Looking at the corpses being pulled away by the cars on the street, endless resentment flashed in their eyes, and then they cursed fiercely: "Tubo, God hates it."

In the corner, a man with a broken arm and a dusty face turned sideways and listened carefully to the sound, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Outside the city, by the Cuona River, under the black banner.

Xiao Siye listened to the shouts around him, looked sideways at Li Xuan, and asked: "Isn't the commander planning to use this hand for logic?"

"Yes." Li Xuan glanced at Yang Zhirou, who was listening carefully, nodded, and said: "I found that the Tubo people are not interested in the things in the Tubo court, but if you say that Tubo is abandoned by God, many people will immediately It will get exciting.”

"That's it." Xiao Siye and Yang Zhirou nodded subconsciously.

Li Xuan continued: "But the Tubo people have always been afraid of power and not moral. Therefore, if you want them to truly accept this sentence, you still have to kill them until their blood flows like rivers."

"So, then the hearts of the people in the city are changing tonight..." Yang Zhirou suddenly realized something.

Li Xuan smiled and looked to the side.

Cui Ding stood in front of everyone, and hundreds of his soldiers, holding a simple trumpet made by Li Xuan, shouted to the city: "I respectfully accept the destiny, drive away corruption and evil in the palace, save the people from misery, and be magnanimous." , accept surrender and make peace without any slander... Those who know etiquette and justice and are willing to be subjects are no different from those raised by the people of the Tang Dynasty."

"I hope you can surrender and surrender sincerely, then the communication will be as good as before and the support will still be there; if you stubbornly resist and fight for me, then the sky will be clear and the sky will be clear, and everything will be wiped out."

……

In the dead of night, countless figures quietly appeared under the west gate. At this moment, dozens of simple rope ladders hung directly from the top of the city.

The figures below immediately climbed up the city quickly.

Hundreds of Tubo soldiers with daggers in their hands and pale faces stared at them fiercely.

A person from behind stepped forward, cupped his hands and said: "These are slave soldiers in the city. I promise that after the city is defeated, we will give them fertile land..."

"The best farmland, the commander is true to his word." Under the firelight, Cui Ding climbed up from behind.

The man quickly looked behind him, and immediately, the Tubo soldiers couldn't help shouting.

"Now, open the city gate." Cui Ding leaned forward.

The man immediately raised his hand and said, "Here!"

Other Tibetan soldiers also followed suit.

Soon, with a creak, the city gate opened.

……

In the east of the city, a black-covered carriage was fleeing south at high speed, escorted by hundreds of Tibetan guards.

Behind him, Nagqu City was already ablaze.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped and the sword was instantly unsheathed.

"Prime Minister, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
