Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1433 Tremors
After a little thought, the generals had to admit that this was indeed the case.

Li Yun scratched his head and said: "The cannonballs are fired, maybe they can really scare the Tubo people away."

Feng Shun felt aggrieved and said: "The Tubo envoys were very rampant when they were in Chang'an, and they boasted that they were brave and good at fighting."

Zhou Lichuan said speechlessly: "That's not just bragging, do you really believe it? If he was really brave and good at fighting, he would have been beaten to death by Hou Junji back then? Besides, those country bumpkins have never seen the market and heard the artillery fire I thought it was a god coming down to earth, maybe I was so scared that I knelt down and kowtowed to call my ancestors on the spot."

Su Cheng said in a deep voice: "When fighting, you still have to take it easy. Don't use all the artillery and muskets at once. Of course, you can't let the Tubo people easily attack the city. It gives them a little hope, but they can't really attack. Come up, so the speed of this must be grasped."

A group of generals took orders suddenly, but when they walked out of the hall, they all felt like I was a big Cao.

If you can't fight with all your strength, what is this called?
It's like marrying a beautiful wife who is as beautiful as flowers and jade, but she is too delicate and dare not use force, it's like scratching one's boots.

But what can be done?In order to lure the Tubo people to take the bait, this is the only way to do it. After the British Duke and their army are encircled, they will give the Tubo people a stimulus.

The mighty cavalry galloped across the wilderness, raising smoke and dust all over the sky. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the mighty cavalry looked like an extremely huge beast.

A water source appeared ahead, and Songtsen Gampo decisively ordered the army to station here.

A group of generals gathered in the big tent of the Chinese army. Songtsan Gampo was full of smiles, full of ambition, and said loudly: "We are less than [-] miles away from Xinghai City. We will step up our march tomorrow and strive to reach Xinghai at sunset. city!"

This is considered a forced march, and it is not a small test for the entire army.

But after all, it only took one day to reach Xinghai City by forced march, and he was about to face a siege battle, not a cavalry field battle, so he could do it without hesitating his horsepower.

"The last general waits to obey!" All the generals bowed in unison.

Hearing the high-spirited answers from the generals, Songtsan Gampo was even happier. The army will appear outside Xinghai City tomorrow. Su Cheng suddenly found that Xinghai City was surrounded by large armies. The look on his face must be very exciting, right?
"When we arrive at Xinghai City tomorrow, immediately surround Xinghai City. Su Cheng will definitely send people to break out of the encirclement for help. Let alone people, not a single bird can be let go!" Songtsan Ganbu said sternly.

All the generals agreed in unison, and they also understood this point. If the people of Xinghai City rushed out to ask for help, then Li Ji and others' soldiers and horses would definitely return to help. The soldiers and horses of Ji and others rushed back.

Songtsan Gampo pondered, "This time the Shenji Battalion brought a lot of firearms. After all, the soldiers have never seen them before. Especially the sound of the cannons is like thunder, which is very frightening."

"During the Eastern Expedition of the Great Tang Dynasty, the cannons were so powerful that the Goguryeo people were frightened and defeated like a mountain. But you have to understand that although the cannons are terrifying, their power is limited, and they are not as powerful as they sound. In this regard, you When you go back, you must tell the soldiers more, so that the soldiers are prepared."

"That's just Datang's firearms. Don't let the soldiers lose their fighting spirit when they hear the loud noise of the artillery."

"Don't worry, Zanpu, our Tubo warriors are not comparable to Goguryeo's bastards. They are firearms. Our Tubo warriors can put out the flames of firearms with one mouthful of saliva!"

"Yes, Zamp, our warriors won't lose their fighting spirit just because of a little loud noise."

"Don't worry, Zanpu will definitely remind the soldiers when he goes back, and he will never let his subordinates be disturbed by the loud noise of the cannon."

Songtsan Gampo nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's better to be careful. After all, we have never seen firearms, but only heard some rumors. The most important thing is to stabilize the morale of the army, so that the soldiers will not panic when they hear the sound of firearms." .”

A group of generals dispersed, ready to go back and summon their subordinates to convey Zanpu's order, so that the subordinates can go deep and stabilize the morale of the army.

The generals dispersed, and it was time for Songtsen Gampo to rest. After all, he had to march in a hurry tomorrow, but he couldn't sleep.

Ever since he knew that Su Cheng was going on an expedition, he urgently mobilized troops to capture Su Cheng in one fell swoop.He will arrive in Xinghai City tomorrow, but he is a little worried about gains and losses.

Because he has never seen the power of firearms with his own eyes, and the description about firearms is just hearsay. If firearms are really powerful, can he capture Xinghai City?
On the other hand, if the firearms were really powerful beyond imagination, why would the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty just let the Shenji Battalion be stationed in Xinghai?

Moreover, he did not believe that any weapon could directly defeat his elite cavalry!

Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow we will see the outcome, and Songtsan Gampo's heart gradually became firm again.

In order to prevent being attacked by the Tubo people, Su Cheng also sent cavalry scouts to check for traces of the Tubo people.

The scouts, one man and two horses, often carry out investigations forty or fifty miles to the west.

As time passed day by day, they became more nervous when they explored.

They still found no trace of the enemy, but when they sat on the ground and took out dry food to eat, they suddenly felt a slight tremor on the ground.

They jumped up as if they had been scalded to their buttocks. They didn't have time to eat, so they jumped on the horses and went straight to Xinghai City.

Teams of scouts rushed towards Xinghai City from all directions. They all felt the tremors on the ground. They knew that the Tubo people must have come, but they were excited.

Now in the entire Xinghai City, who doesn't look forward to the Tubo people's attack day and night?
I have been looking forward to the stars and the moon for so long, but now I can say that the people of Tubo are looking forward to, isn't it easy?

The soldiers on the city wall were staring boredly at the distance. The city had already been remodeled, and the daily training was not too much, so everyone could only hope that the Tibetans would come soon.

Soon they noticed that the scouts outside the city were rushing towards them, and the soldiers on the city wall suddenly became energetic.

The scouts came back earlier today than before, and they were all running. They were keenly aware that there must be something wrong!

It is very likely that the Tibetans are here!

Are you finally free from boredom and loneliness?

"Quick, open the city gate!"

The scouts galloped straight into the city.

In the city lord's mansion, while eating, Su Cheng couldn't help thinking, why haven't the Tubo people come yet?
