Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1443 Plan
The sun had already slanted to the west, Songtsan Gampo looked at the fierce battlefield, and felt very regretful, the battle was very fierce, the warriors scrambled to climb to the ladder, but they still couldn't attack the top of the city.

At least today there is no chance to break the city, Songtsan Gampo said with some regret: "Mingjin retreat!"

Following the sound of Mingjin, the Tubo warriors who were about to attack the city receded like a tide, leaving only corpses all over the ground.

Su Cheng couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief watching the Tubo people withdraw their troops back to the camp, and finally another day passed.

He felt a little lucky, not that he was lucky that the city was defended again today, but that he was lucky that the Tubo people were retained again and did not scare them away.

It is necessary to ensure that the Tibetans climb the ladder, but also not allow too many Tibetans to climb the ladder one after another, so he can only dispatch musketeers to control the rhythm of the Tibetans' siege.

After all, he didn't want the Tubo people to really climb the ladder. Although even if the Tubo people really climbed the ladder, they would not capture the city, but it would bring casualties to the soldiers.

The soldiers guarding the city are all elite soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they are living lives. How could he have the heart to let the soldiers make fearless sacrifices?
However, he kept preventing the Tubo people from attacking the city, and he was afraid that Songtsan Gampo would be forced to give up.

What a headache!
I don't know when Li Ji and the others will arrive. According to the original agreement, they should be arriving soon, right?

Just when Su Cheng thought so, Songtsan Gampo had gathered all the generals together.

"The siege of the city has reached the most critical juncture. It is only one breath away from the top of the city. As long as we attack the top of the city, with the bravery of our Tubo warriors, we will be able to quickly break through the city. where?" Songtsan Gampo asked in a deep voice.

All the generals couldn't help being silent. Zanpu himself was in charge, and the soldiers fought bravely and fought very hard, but they just didn't take the top of the wall.

Who can blame this?
I can't blame them, I can only blame the enemy's firearms are really powerful, and the defense equipment such as stones and rolling logs is also well prepared.

And how can it be so easy to capture a city?
Although the army attacked the city in the South and North Wars before, sometimes it took dozens of days to attack a city.

For example, it took ten days to attack Tubo King City, and now the army has only attacked Xinghai City for a few days.

Although Xinghai City is not big and its walls are not high, the enemy army has powerful firearms.

Therefore, they felt that it was normal for them not to break the city for a few days.

But, who would dare to tell Zanpu this?

They also understood Zanpu's urgency to capture Su Cheng, and they also understood that Zanpu was worried that the other three Tang soldiers would return to Xinghai City.

However, they felt that Zanpu's worry was unnecessary, not to mention that the three Tang soldiers never thought that they would attack Xinghai City, and even if they did, they would not return so quickly.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if one of the three Great Tang soldiers and horses really returns to Xinghai City, so what?All you need is to send out some soldiers and horses to defeat the Tang army!
Saam pondered and said: "Zanpu, according to the general's observation, Xinghai City muskets consume a lot of ammunition, and now they can only shoot intensively at critical times, and their use of muskets is decreasing day by day, so rush to the ladder There are more and more warriors, so Xinghai City should be able to break through soon."

Songtsan Gampo said in a deep voice: "I also know that the soldiers are very brave, and I also know that we are only close to breaking through Xinghai City, so I don't want to continue to procrastinate, because procrastination means more casualties."

"Our goal is to capture Su Cheng. As long as we capture Su Cheng, we're done. If we drag it on, we're afraid there will be more nights and dreams!"

A general respectfully said: "Is Zanpu afraid that the Tang army will suddenly return to the army? The final general thinks that Zanpu is worrying too much."

"Xinghai City failed to send people out to ask for help. Li Ji, Cheng Yaojin, and Yu Chigong never thought that we would surprise Xinghai City. They would only take the army to Tuyuhun King City, and when they arrived at Tuyuhun King City, they found that it was an empty city. , even if they knew to return to Xinghai City at that time, it would have been too late."

"That's right, we still have time to attack Xinghai City, Zanpu don't need to worry, Xinghai City won't last long!"

"Even if Li Ji and the others return with an army? If it wasn't for the surprise attack on Xinghai City, we would have defeated them all by now!"

There is nothing wrong with the analysis of the generals. He has thought about it in his heart for countless times, but he always feels a little uneasy.

Since Xinghai City is almost unable to hold on anymore, why didn't Su Cheng send someone to break through the siege to report?
Songtsan Gampo murmured, "I've thought about what you said, but I'm just a little confused. Why hasn't Su Cheng sent anyone to break out and ask for help?"

Saam pondered and said: "The general has thought about this question too. The general thinks that Su Cheng is recognized as a man of great learning. Such a person must be very proud. In addition, he is very young, so he must be conceited and proud. This can be seen from the drunken words he said in Minzhou City, so he will definitely not plan to ask for help unless he has to."

"Besides, our Tubo army is surrounding the city in layers. He should also understand that no one can break out of such an iron drum-like encirclement."

Songtsan Gampo nodded slightly and said, "What you said is also reasonable. Before the siege tomorrow, I want to send a letter into the city to persuade you to surrender. The battle has reached this point. I think Su Cheng should also understand the purpose of defending the city." Difficult, you can try to persuade surrender."

Sa'am listened respectfully and said: "Zanpu is wise! Now Xinghai City has been besieged like an iron barrel, and it has almost broken the city several times. Su Cheng must also be suffering, and he doesn't know what is going on outside Xinghai City. As long as the situation is exaggerated, his psychological defense will be broken."

This coincided with what he thought, Songtsen Gampo nodded with a smile and said: "That's the reason, I will personally persuade the surrender letter, and choose a sharpshooter to shoot on the city wall tomorrow morning!"

"If he does not agree to surrender, then continue to attack the city tomorrow, and make sure to break through Xinghai City as soon as possible!"

The generals couldn't help being a little excited when they heard this. If Su Cheng could surrender, they wouldn't have to continue to attack Xinghai City, and they could concentrate their forces to attack the other armies.

In this way, not only can Su Cheng be captured, but also the land that has been occupied by them can be held, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
The generals dispersed, and Songtsan Gampo also stepped out of the big tent to look at Xinghai City in the night, Su Cheng, I hope you don't know how to praise!
