Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1436
The night was very peaceful, the Tubo army and the defenders in the city lived in peace, of course, neither the defenders in the city nor the Tubo army slept very well.

After all, the war is about to start, but anyone who has a heart will not sleep well.

But generally speaking, the spirit of the defenders in the city is better. After all, they have been recharging their energy these days, and relatively speaking, they slept soundly last night.

And the Tubo army has been marching these days, and it marched all day yesterday in a hurry. Last night, it was worried about the night attack of the Shenji camp and did not dare to sleep peacefully. Today, it was lined up early in the morning...

Su Cheng also slept soundly last night, because he felt that the possibility of the Tubo army's Laoshi expedition to launch a night attack was very low.

After waking up in the morning, Su Cheng was not in a hurry to go out, but walked out of the city lord's mansion after having a good breakfast, and rode towards the city head.

The soldiers on duty last night had already withdrawn, and now the soldiers guarding the city wall are all full of energy, looking eagerly at the outside of the city.

Su Cheng climbed to the top of the city and immediately looked out of the city. It was really lively outside the city.

No wonder they didn't receive any news from the city wall this early in the morning. It turned out that the Tubo people were not in a hurry to attack the city, but were busy cutting down trees and making ladders and other siege equipment.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Yes, the Tubo people are quite skilled in business."

Isn't it just building siege equipment?Xue Wanche didn't feel anything at all, he looked outside the city eagerly, and said impatiently: "Why can't it work, this speed is too slow, and I don't know if the Tubo people can attack the city today."

Su Cheng was speechless after hearing this, and he didn't know whether Songtsan Gampo should cry or laugh knowing that the soldiers on the city wall were so concerned about the construction progress of the Tubo siege equipment.

In fact, Songtsan Gampo was also very anxious and kept urging him. In fact, the production of siege equipment was already very fast, and it can be said that they produced their standard beyond normal.

"Report to Zanpu, in another hour, the ladder will be almost ready!" The general in charge came to report profusely. After all, there are many people and strength, and the progress of making the ladder is actually quite fast, but Zanpu still can't do it. satisfy.

Songtsan Gampo looked at the sky, finally nodded with some satisfaction, and said in a deep voice, "Order Zagye Yangba to take five thousand riders up to try it out, hold down the speed, don't go too fast!"

Following the order, a 5000-man cavalry team left the army and slowly marched towards Xinghai City.

Su Cheng and others on the city wall were about to doze off, and the Tubo people, who had been calm all this time, finally moved.

Su Cheng couldn't help but feel refreshed, and then he saw a cavalry of thousands of people advancing slowly.

Obviously, this is a temptation from the Tubo people, but what makes Su Cheng very speechless is that it is still more than ten miles away!

Songtsan Gampo even began to test it more than ten miles away!
This is too cautious, I didn't expect that you are such Songtsan Gampo!

Xue Wanche yelled directly: "You bullshit is brave and good at fighting, but you are as cowardly as a mouse at all. Is there such a test? It's still more than ten miles away, and you're as scared as your grandson!"

Su Cheng laid down on the city wall very leisurely, and said with a smile: "It's good. Anyway, we're just delaying time. There will be a battle sooner or later when the army is encircled. As long as Songtsan Gambo thinks he can delay it, then Take it easy."

"Pass down my general's order, all artillery is not allowed to fire, wait for the enemy cavalry to enter the range of the muskets, listen to my command and then fire!"

It's just five thousand cavalry, and they don't even bring siege equipment, so there is no need to be nervous at all. Such a temptation wants to trick him into firing?
What are you thinking?

The military order was quickly conveyed, and the artillerymen who thought they were alive just now lost their energy. Instead, the musketeers checked their muskets and ammunition energetically, even though they had checked many times in a very boring manner.

The [-] cavalry outside the city were constantly advancing, but the defenders on the city wall remained silent.

Songtsen Gampo was quite happy to see that there was no movement on the city wall at first, but as the five thousand cavalry continued to advance, he couldn't help frowning.

The defenders on the city wall did not respond at all. Is it because the probing cavalry still did not enter the range of the artillery, or because Su Cheng didn't want to have any reaction?
In fact, the tentative cavalry had already entered the range of the artillery, but the artillerymen on the city wall just watched leisurely.

However, the musketeers had already put their muskets on the city wall and started aiming.

The speed of the cavalry's advance was neither fast nor slow, and they soon entered the range of the muskets. All the musketeers clenched their muskets and prepared to shoot, but they didn't hear the gunfire for a long time. military order.

Su Cheng still lay on the city wall and watched the Tubo cavalry approaching gradually, until they had advanced another twenty or thirty steps, and then said leisurely: "Order to shoot!"

Suddenly, the muskets fired!
In fact, the Tibetan cavalrymen under the city were all nervous, but when the musket sounded, they had no way to dodge at all, all this happened too fast!

The screams followed, and then the Tubo cavalry fell down amidst the screams.

Only Qian Yuqi fled like a frightened rabbit.

This result is not weak, Su Cheng couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene, this result is not surprising.

Because the tentative cavalry of Tubo lined up very closely, and were concentrated fire by musketeers on the entire city wall. Although it was only one round, the lethality was enough to make them lose more than half.

Xue Wanche laughed loudly and said: "I'm afraid there are two thousand cavalry on the ground, and many of the cavalry who returned were injured. This is not a temptation. This is clearly sending someone up to die. Songtsan Gambo is so stupid!"

Songtsan Gampo kept frowning and observing carefully, and when he heard the sound of firearms, he even squinted his eyes to see more clearly.

However, because the distance was too far, it was impossible to see clearly, only half of the cavalry sent to test fell down at once.

Although the tentative cavalry advanced slowly, they fled quickly.

Seeing that only a thousand cavalrymen came back, Songtsan Gampo, who had been frowning all the time, became a little ugly.

Five thousand cavalry were sent to test, and more than half of them were lost, but nothing came out of the test!

I didn't test out the range and power of the artillery, I only saw a volley of muskets, but because the distance was too far, I couldn't see it very clearly.

"Where's Zagi Yangba? Let him roll!" Songtsen Gampo shouted.

"Zanpu, Zaji Yangba died in battle!" A messenger rushed back and forth to report.

Songtsan Gampo was so angry when he heard this, that even the general was killed in battle!
