Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1438 Prologue
The entire Tubo army began to advance, approaching the city, but the soldiers on the city wall didn't feel nervous at all, because the atmosphere of the battle had already been destroyed by two waves of death from the Tubo people.

"The Tubo people dare to come forward, the war is finally about to start!" Xue Wanche said with emotion, as if he had been looking forward to the bridal chamber for 40 years.

Su Cheng couldn't help laughing and said: "Even if the Tibetans want to attack the city, they have to go through the artillery and guns first, so you just have to take a look first."

When Xue Wanche led [-] elite infantry to guard the city, he was in charge of throwing stones, rolling logs and pouring hot oil to stop the Tubo people when they climbed the ladder. The soldiers of the battalion fought together.

And Xue Wanche's favorite thing is to fight. If the two armies are fighting in the open, the fight is to charge into the battle. But now it is a battle to defend the city. Let's watch first.

But Xue Wanche didn't want to wait anymore, he was eager to kill a few Tubo people to enjoy himself, he turned his head and shouted: "These Tubo people don't know if they can climb to the top of the city, and they can't just wait like this forever." Now, go, fetch my bow and arrows."

Although Xue Wanche is highly skilled in martial arts and likes to charge the battle the most, his riding and archery skills are not bad at all, and because of his natural supernatural power, his arm strength is amazing. Although he is not a marksman, he can be regarded as a good archer in the army.

Su Cheng just smiled when he heard this. Although Xue Wanche is strong, how many people can he kill with a bow and arrow?

It's amazing that there are tens of hundreds of people, which are not worth mentioning compared to the [-] army, so let Xue Wanche just kill him, anyway, he can't rush out and directly break through the Tubo army formation.

Su Cheng held up the binoculars and was observing carefully. Suddenly, he who was moving slightly with the binoculars stopped suddenly, because he found a flying flag.

Although he doesn't know much about Tubo, he still knows about this flag.

Su Cheng pointed forward and said in a deep voice, "Old Xue, look at that flag over there!"

Xue Wanche and others quickly raised their binoculars to look in the direction Su Cheng pointed. Xue Wanche jumped up excitedly and shouted, "Isn't that the king's banner of Tubo Zanpu? Songtsan Gampo really led the army himself Ah! Songtsan Gampo, the son of a bitch, has really come!"

Li Yun also nodded excitedly and said: "It is undoubtedly the king's flag of Tubo Zanpu! If Songtsan Gampo hadn't come personally, who would dare to fly the king's banner of Zanpu? Isn't that trespassing? So, it must be Songtsan Gampo Bu led the troops himself."

Su Cheng smiled and said: "It seems that I am really a sweet potato, even Songtsan Gampo couldn't help but came here in person."

Su Cheng felt a little unconfident before, doubting whether he could attract the Tubo army, but what he didn't expect was that his attraction was even greater than he imagined, so he directly attracted Songtsan Gampo are attracted.

When Li Ji and the others lead their troops to encircle and directly kill or capture Songtsen Gampo alive, the Tubo that has just completed the unification is bound to be in chaos.

Xue Wanche grinned and said: "The Duke can turn stones into gold and also knows such magical weapons as firearms. If I were Songtsan Gampo, I would also come to snatch the Duke back."

The crowd couldn't help laughing, and found Songtsan Gampo's arrival, not only did they not feel any worries, but they felt even more excited.

Suddenly, Li Yun slapped his thigh and said annoyedly: "Oh, if we knew Songtsan Gampo would come, we should have brought a giant Zhenguan cannon. This distance will definitely be able to bombard the Tubo King's Banner. He directly killed Songtsan Gampo!"

The Zhenguan Cannon is the largest cannon manufactured by the Firearms Supervisor. It has the longest range and is the most powerful. Of course, it is also the most cumbersome cannon. However, Li Shimin admired its unparalleled power and personally named it the Zhenguan Cannon.

Although the Zhenguan giant cannon is powerful, it is too heavy, so the firearms supervisor only made five of them. This time, Su Cheng didn't bring a single Zhenguan cannon, because bringing the Zhenguan cannon would be too heavy. It greatly slowed down the marching speed of the entire Shenji Battalion, but it did not increase the combat effectiveness much.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "Even if you bring the Zhenguan cannon, it's useless. Do you think Songtsan Gampo will stay under the king's banner?"

Li Yun nodded and said, "That's right, how could Songtsan Gampo, who is as cowardly as a mouse, dare to stay under the king's banner!"

Songtsan Gampo was cautious, and indeed he did not stay under the banner of the king, nor was he at the forefront of the army formation, but stayed in the central army.

Originally, the guards wanted to set up a royal platform for Zanpu to take charge of the battle, but they were stopped by Songtsan Gampo.

Because he felt that Su Cheng was extremely treacherous, and if there were more powerful artillery hidden on the city wall, wouldn't it be too dangerous for him to stand on the king's platform?
"Saamu, you lead [-] troops to attack the north gate, Ge Songdan, you lead [-] troops to attack the south gate." Songtsan Gampo ordered in a deep voice, which meant that the siege battle had officially begun.

The warriors of Tubo brandished scimitars and rushed towards the city wall carrying the ladders. This time, they didn't have to start attacking the city from more than ten miles away, and their physical strength was more abundant, and they ran fast while carrying the ladders.

The sounds of gunfire and artillery were intertwined, completely covering up the screams on the battlefield.

Songtsen Gampo rode on his horse and watched closely the battlefield ahead. Slowly, his face became serious.

Before, he was very moved by the power of the artillery, because the power and movement of the artillery were too great.

But now, he suddenly discovered that muskets are far more powerful than he imagined, even more powerful than cannons!

Although the artillery is powerful, it is impossible to fire intensively, but the musket can fire intensively, and the accuracy is quite good.

Moreover, what shocked him was that he found that the muskets were so powerful that even elite warriors in armor were shot and fell down one after another!

Such a long distance, if it is a bow and arrow, unless it is shot skillfully, it is impossible to shoot the armored elite warrior to death!
But the musket did it!That means that muskets are far more powerful than bows and arrows!

Moreover, what also shocked him was that the muskets on the city wall fired like they didn't want money!
You know, it is not easy to make arrows, and it is impossible to shoot so uninterruptedly, who can afford it?
However, the muskets on the city wall fired continuously!

Was it because Su Cheng was young and energetic and ordered the shooting regardless, or because he could afford it?
For a while, Songtsan Gampo was uncertain because he didn't know much about guns.
