Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1435 The rain is coming
The Tubo army stopped advancing, and then separated two groups of cavalry to circle the city on both sides, as if to surround Xinghai City as a whole.

Seeing this, Su Cheng couldn't help laughing: "The Tubo people even surrounded the city. They are afraid that we will send people to ask for help."

Xue Wanche said disdainfully after hearing this: "Hey, we are afraid that we will ask for help, and we are afraid that they will run away!"

Li Yun pondered and said: "Grandpa, should we really send someone to pretend to ask for help? Otherwise, wouldn't it arouse the suspicion of the Tubo people?"

Su Cheng thought about it for a moment and shook his head slightly. The outside was surrounded by Tubo's army. At this time, sending people to disperse for help was basically equivalent to sending them to death.

It's not that Su Cheng has the kindness of a woman. If there is a real need, Su Cheng will of course support sending people out for help, but he feels that there is no need to send people out to die now, because they are all soldiers under his command. They are all living beings.

Su Cheng shook his head and said: "It's not necessary. On the night in Minzhou, after being drunk, I was very arrogant and said that as long as the Tubo people came to beat the Tubo people to death, so we don't send anyone for help, and the Tubo people shouldn't either." If you doubt it, you will only feel that I am extremely arrogant."

The generals couldn't help nodding their heads when they heard this, and felt that what the Duke said made sense. The Tubo people came all the way from afar, so it's impossible for them to run away because of this, right?

Those Tubo people are not called brave and good at fighting, but as cowardly as mice.

Holding up the binoculars, Su Cheng observed carefully, and said in a deep voice, "There are more Tibetans coming than we expected!"

At this moment, the Tubo people had completely appeared in sight, and Xue Wanche also held up his binoculars to observe carefully, and reckoned: "Looking at the scale, there may be a hundred thousand people."

Xue Wanche has been on the battlefield for a long time and is very experienced. Although it is a rough estimate, it is not far from ten, and an army of one hundred thousand is indeed a relatively common configuration.

Su Cheng said with a smile: "It seems that Songtsan Gampo really sent troops to reinforce it, but I don't know if Songtsan Gampo personally led the troops here."

Xue Wanche's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "I hope Songtsan Gampo really came, see if I don't chop off his dog's head with one blow!"

Xue Wanche doesn't know what fear is. Su Cheng turned his head to look at the generals and asked with a smile, "There are [-] Tubo cavalry outside, which is beyond our imagination. Are you afraid?"

Li Yun and the others couldn't help laughing when they heard this.

"How could you be afraid?"

"I'm not afraid that there are too many people in Tubo, but I'm afraid that the Tubo people will run away in two days if they don't fight!"

"That's right, there are so many Tubo people here. As the saying goes, people are so brave. I hope they will be brave, so we can fight with all our might!"

"The more Tibetans come, the better. We don't have to tie our hands and feet, and we can have a good fight!"

Su Cheng said with a smile: "It's getting late today, and the Tubo people probably won't attack the city, but they shouldn't be careless. The soldiers on duty at night must be vigilant, in case the Tubo people take advantage of the night to attack!"

Zheng Quanyi cupped his hands and said: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely keep an eye on the Tubo people in the end, and I will never let down my vigilance."

The Tubo people will attack the city tomorrow, right?The generals couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts when they looked at the Tubo army in the distance, and felt like they were finally going to enter the bridal chamber after waiting for so long.

The Tubo army is setting up camp. It can be said that the rapid march all the way is exhausted, but he is not afraid that the defenders in Xinghai City will dare to come out to attack the camp. A hundred thousand cavalry galloped forward. The overwhelming momentum probably killed the Tang army in the city Scared out of their wits, they still dare to go out to fight?
Moreover, the firearms of the Shenji Camp are suitable for defending the city, but not suitable for surprise attacks at all, so he is sure that the Shenji Camp will not dare to attack the camp.

Besides, even if Su Cheng really led troops to attack the camp, he should be happy. Although the passers-by who had been driving for a day were exhausted, they were still an army of [-], and they could kill the Shenji camp and capture Su Cheng alive , which is much easier than siege.

Songtsan Gampo looked at Xinghai City on his horse, and said with a smile, "The walls of Xinghai City don't look very high either!"

They Tubo once attacked Songcheng of Tang Dynasty, the city wall was high and thick, and there was a deep moat, so it was a headache.

Sa'am laughed and said, "It's really not that high. It's not difficult to take it down. Within three days, the city will be destroyed!"

Songtsan Gampo shook his head slightly and smiled, "If the guards weren't very surprised, we would be able to break through the city within three days, but we don't know how powerful the firearms are, so can we take Xingcheng within three days?" Haicheng is also hard to say."

Saamu said in a deep voice: "The general won't believe it. Can this firearm be so powerful that it will go to heaven? Within three days, Haicheng will be destroyed!"

Songtsan Gampo said with a smile, "I'm feeling a bit conflicted now. I hope that the city can be destroyed as soon as possible, and that Xinghai City can last longer. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that the reputation of firearms is actually hard to live up to?"

Saamu couldn't help scratching his head when he heard this, but he felt that it didn't matter whether the firearms were powerful or not. As long as Su Cheng was robbed to Tubo, just asking for the secret recipe of burning knives and wine would be attractive enough.

Songtsan Gampo squinted his eyes and stared hard at Xinghai City, but the distance was too far, and he couldn't see anything except the majestic city wall.

You can't see the cannon, let alone the people on the city wall.

Songtsan Gampo said with some regret: "Unfortunately, the distance is too far to see the people on the top of the wall clearly. In fact, I really want to go up to see if Su Cheng is on the top of the wall."

Although he had never seen Su Cheng in real life, he had seen Su Cheng's portrait in Zhenzhu's place, so if he saw Su Cheng, he would definitely recognize him.

Saamu was startled when he heard this, and quickly advised: "Zanpu, don't go too far, no one knows how powerful the artillery is and how far it can shoot. Zanpu is a member of the Liming people, so he can't risk himself. .”

Songtsan Gampo waved his hands and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we must all be cautious before we figure out the power of firearms. I suddenly thought that Su Cheng once made a thing called a telescope, and it is rumored that holding that thing can see Clearly far away, even things on the moon can be seen."

Saam nodded and said: "The general has heard of the telescope, and that thing is very useful for fighting. It can better observe the enemy's situation."

Songtsan Gampo sighed softly: "Unfortunately, no matter whether it is a large sum of money to buy it or a secret search, it has never been able to get a telescope."

Sa'am laughed and said: "Zanpu don't need to be upset, Su Cheng can be captured, and the whole army can have a telescope."

Songtsan Gampo laughed and said, "You're right, when you capture Su Cheng, how many telescopes will you want?"

"My Tubo's [-] cavalry have already approached the city, can't they break through the mere Xinghai City?"
