Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1431
Together with the artillery and countless food and grass, the mighty army finally approached Xinghai City.

Xinghai City has now become an empty city. Those who followed Murong Shun had already gone to Longyou, and those who surrendered to Tubo followed all the way to the west, because they all knew that there would be wars happening here.

In order to avoid the war, there is no one here.

Because it is close to Longyou, it used to be very prosperous. Although it is not as good as the city of Tang Dynasty, it is not considered a small city in the Western Regions. It is a pity that this place is already a desolate scene.

The scouts of the cavalry went straight into Xinghai City and began to search the city to see if there were any suspicious people in the city.

"Report, report to the Duke, there is no one in the city."

It's not a surprise, Su Cheng said in a deep voice: "When the army enters the city, the battalions set up camp according to the deployment, and quickly clear the city."

"Don't drink the water in the city, first drink the cattle and horses to see if it is poisonous."

Although he felt that neither the Tubo people nor the Tuyuhun people were likely to poison the water source. After all, once the water source was poisoned, the city would be completely ruined, but Su Cheng felt that it was better to be careful.

The messenger immediately obeyed the order and left.

The mighty army entered the city. Although the city is not small, it is very backward and primitive compared to the city of Datang.

The battalions were busy setting up camp. Su Cheng took his soldiers around the city and said with disgust: "This city is too far away from the city of Your Majesty Tang Dynasty, just like the city thousands of years ago."

Xue Wanche said with a smile: "Of course it can't compare with the city of our Tang Dynasty, but in the Western Regions, this city is already considered pretty good."

Su Cheng shook his head helplessly and said, "It's nothing more than a dilapidated city, and the city wall is a bit low."

Not to mention compared with the city walls of the Tang Dynasty, it is far worse than the city walls of Goguryeo.

Xue Wanche said with a smile: "It's normal. These nomads fight in the field. When they seldom attack and defend the city, it is good to have a city wall. Xinghai City is also because it is close to Longyou and is influenced by Longyou. high walls."

Su Cheng said with a smile: "I'm used to seeing the cities of our Tang Dynasty, but looking at the cities of these Fanren, I really don't like them."

Xue Wanche said with a smile: "The Central Plains has been the center of the Quartet since ancient times, and these foreign races are nothing but barbarians."

Xue Wanche said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, although these walls are not high, they are enough to resist the Tubo people. We will definitely be able to hold on. Besides, the British lord and the others will soon come back to help the Tubo people."

Su Cheng boarded the city wall and looked to the southwest, and said leisurely: "What I worry about is that if Songtsan Gampo knows that I am stationed in Xinghai City, he may send troops to reinforce, or even personally lead the reinforcements. I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are."

Will there be more soldiers and horses coming than expected?Xue Wanche not only didn't feel scared, but was very pleasantly surprised.

Especially when he heard Su Cheng say that Songtsan Gampo might personally lead the troops, he was even more excited. If Songtsan Gampo could be killed or captured alive, would His Majesty award him a reward? Duke?
It is very possible, this is definitely a great achievement!
However, Xue Wanche suddenly thought of something. The Duke seems to have an ambiguous relationship with that Princess Zhenzhu. After all, Songtsan Gampo is also the elder brother of the Princess Zhenzhu, and he is probably the Duke’s brother-in-law!
Thinking of this, Xue Wanche couldn't help but feel a surge in his heart, and coughed dryly: "My lord, the artillery is so powerful, if Songtsan Gampo came to the battlefield in person, would he be bombarded to death by the artillery?"

Su Cheng looked at Xue Wanche's mischievous eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "Wouldn't it be better if Songtsan Gambo was shot to death? Our Shenji Camp will make a great contribution."

Xue Wanche scratched his head and smiled innocently: "Songtsan Gampo is the elder brother of Princess Zhenzhu, and the Duke and Princess Zhenzhu have a deep friendship."

Su Cheng said with a smile: "Since we are on the battlefield, we must put aside our children's personal feelings. I have to think about the thousands of soldiers and the people of the Tang Dynasty who are going to war. If it is possible, I really want to kill the loose with a single shot." Tsangan Gampo, if anyone can kill or capture Songtsan Gampo, I will personally ask His Majesty for credit for him."

"Old Xue, if you can kill Songtsan Gampo or capture Songtsan Gampo, I recommend you to His Majesty as Duke of Jin."

Xue Wanche couldn't help but feel happy when he heard that other people's promises are useless, but Su Cheng's promises must be useful. When he thinks that his son is about to be born, if he can be promoted to Duke, then both Danyang and the child can feel proud.

Xue Wanche scratched his ears excitedly and said, "I'm afraid that Songtsan Gampo won't dare to come! If he comes, I will definitely cut him off the horse."

Su Cheng laughed and said, "Maybe, Songtsan Gampo is already on his way!"

Xue Wanche couldn't help laughing. Su Cheng was joking, but he didn't know that Songtsan Gampo was really on his way.

After walking for a while on the city wall, Su Cheng couldn't help shaking his head. It seemed that the Tuyuhun people really didn't care about the city wall. The city wall of Xinghai City was in disrepair for a long time, and many places were already in disrepair.

When Hao Hao set off from Minzhou, he not only brought a lot of food and grass, but also a lot of cement. Now the cement has already appeared in various counties of the Tang Dynasty, and it is very popular. The border town is used to repair the city wall watchtower.

The army was scattered in every corner of Xinghai City, and after a group of generals arranged for their subordinates to camp, they went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

Said to be the City Lord's Mansion, it is not even as good as the manor of Lao Cai, the landlord of the Tang Dynasty, but the meeting hall is still quite large.

A group of generals gathered in the city lord's mansion, Su Cheng said in a deep voice: "Today, the generals can tell the soldiers when they go back, and say that they have received information that Tibetans are likely to come to attack the grain and grass, so that the soldiers are prepared in their hearts. "

A group of generals suddenly agreed.

Su Cheng continued: "Although the Tubo people will not come immediately, each battalion must be ready to fight at any time. Someone must be stationed on the city wall, patrolling day and night, and no one will be cut off."

"Just now I walked around the city wall and found that the city wall has been in disrepair for a long time, so each battalion is also responsible for repairing the city walls in each defense area."

"If stones are needed, they will be demolished in the city, and all the houses that need to be demolished will be demolished, especially on both sides of the street. Widening the street will also facilitate the defense of the city."

"The Artillery Battalion is responsible for putting all the artillery on the top of the city. If you have any questions or suggestions from each battalion, you can ask them. This time the defense of the city is very important. The Tubo people are likely to attack in large numbers. I hope the generals will pay attention to it. .”

"The last general waits to obey!" All the generals agreed with a loud voice.

"Take a day off today and start working tomorrow. Make sure to keep Xinghai City as solid as gold!" Su Cheng said in a deep voice.

PS: I would like to recommend a novel "Misunderstanding Li Shimin as a Big Cousin at the Beginning" to everyone. The master's production must be a masterpiece, so don't miss it when you pass by.
