Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1446 Probing
"Paper, pay my respects to Duke Lu!"

"The humble official came here to report the letter under the order of the British Duke. When the humble official left, the army under the British Duke was still about 180 miles away from Xinghai City. The army was marching at a speed of [-] miles per day. Now two days have passed. The army It should be [-] miles away from Xinghai City!"

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help grinning and said: "Okay, my commander's army is about [-] miles away from Xinghai City at this time, and they are all marching according to the established plan, just waiting to encircle together."

"Humble job, go back and report to the Duke!"

Cheng Yaojin laughed and said: "It was very hard for you to gallop all the way here, so you don't have to run back. In fact, I have already sent people to the Duke of England and the Duke of E!"

"Facts have proved that our three armies are already marching according to the established plan. In two days, we will be able to encircle the Tibetans and launch a general attack!"

"Now, I just don't know what happened to Xinghai City!"

The cavalry who reported the letter quickly said: "I don't know about this lowly position. Our Duke didn't send scouts to check because he was afraid of making trouble."

Cheng Yaojin waved his hand and said: "We are going back to the teacher very quickly. According to estimates, Xinghai City should be able to hold on. Besides, the encirclement will be launched in two days, and it will not be two days away. All right, hurry up Go down and rest!"

The cavalry who reported the letter were led down to rest, and the atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became enthusiastic. Now the other two armies have arrived as planned, and the total time for encirclement and launch will be two days later. The big battle is coming, how can we not Exciting?
At the same time, both Li Ji and Yu Chigong also received the news, confirming that the three armies were in place according to the plan, and they would initiate the encirclement within two days.

The day's fierce battle was over again. Although many warriors still climbed the ladder, they still failed to reach the top of the city.

The method of attacking Xinghai City is very simple, and they can only carry the ladder and set up the ladder to launch a fierce attack on the city wall.

Because other methods are useless, the range of the trebuchet is far inferior to that of the artillery, and it was smashed by the artillery before entering the range of the trebuchet.

Archers can't do it either, because the range of muskets is far longer than that of bows and arrows, and muskets are still condescending.

Facing artillery and muskets, the Tubo people could only charge with their ladders.

The only choice is to take human life to fill it, so this siege battle was very tragic.

Tragedy like never before.

In the big tent of the Chinese army in Tubo, the faces of all the generals were a little solemn.

They were not surprised that Xinghai City was still not captured today.

"Marshal, today our offensive is stronger than yesterday, but the muskets fired by the defenders in the city are also more intensive than yesterday, so we did not capture Xinghai City!" Sa'am concluded succinctly.

"Doesn't that mean that as long as the bullets in Xinghai City are not exhausted, it will be difficult for us to capture Xinghai City?"

"Why does Xinghai City suddenly dare to consume bullets like this?"

"Nonsense, if they didn't consume bullets like this, we would have captured Xinghai City today. As long as they don't want to lose Xinghai City, they can only consume like this!"

"That makes sense, but how many bullets are there in Xinghai City for consumption?"

This question is the most critical, and all the generals were asked at once.

Although they were all vain and brave, after personally experiencing the power of firearms, they had to admit that if Xinghai City had enough bullets, they would not have the confidence to capture Xinghai City.

Songtsan Gampo had been listening carefully to the generals' discussions, and pondered: "Xinghai City's ammunition reserve should not be much."

"For one thing, Su Cheng is guarding the grain and grass in the rear. How could he carry a lot of bullets with a large amount of grain and grass? And he would never have thought that we would surprise Xinghai City!"

"Secondly, if Xinghai City has enough ammunition, how could Xinghai City have restrained the use of musket bullets when attacking the city in the past few days? He should be thinking of repelling us as soon as possible."

Saamu nodded and said: "Zanpu is wise, Xinghai City is indeed firing intensively today, but it's just forced by the situation. The general feels that this is Xinghai City's last struggle, and they are almost at the end of their rope!"

Songtsan Gampo nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "You are right, if there is no bullets, the Shenji Camp will be completely abolished, and the city will be destroyed in an instant!"

Right here, a personal guard came in and said respectfully, "Report to Zanpu, the scouts you sent out are back."

Songtsan Gampo was refreshed and ordered, "Let him in!"

The leader of the scouts walked into the big tent, and said respectfully: "My respect is Zanpu, I was ordered to explore seventy miles to the northwest, and found no trace of Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses."

What Songtsan Gampo was most afraid of was the [-] army led by Li Ji. If Li Ji's army returned to the army, it should come from the northwest.

Since no clues of the Tang army were found fifty miles to the northwest, it means that Li Ji's army did not return to the division.

This was actually within Songtsan Gampo's expectation, because the possibility of Li Ji's army returning to the division was very low.

If it is Cheng Yaojin or Yu Chigong's army returning to the division, then he will eat them directly.

Songtsan Gampo heaved a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Okay, go down and have a good rest, continue to investigate tomorrow, be sure to investigate carefully!"

The scout respectfully agreed and then slowly backed out.

All the generals listened quietly, but they were all thinking in their hearts, Zanpu was too careful, right?

The army had only besieged Xinghai City for a few days, how could the Tang army return to the division?

Unless Tang Jun was able to figure out their surprise attack on Xinghai City, how could he suddenly return to the army for no reason?
Not to mention, it is impossible for Tang Jun to find out that the army that has been chasing has only [-] cavalry. Even if they do find something, Tang Jun is unlikely to return to Xinghai City. They will only speed up and go straight to Tuyuhun King City.

So, Tang Jun might have already arrived at Tuyuhun King City now!

After the leader of the scouts left the big tent, Saamu said with a smile: "Zanpu is too worried. Tang Jun is still being led around by the nose. Even if Tang Jun finds something abnormal, he will go straight to Tuyuhun King City."

"The last general is really looking forward to Li Ji and the others finding out something, and then going straight to Tuyuhun King City, and then they will find that Tuyuhun King City has become an empty city."

"It's a pity that I couldn't witness the expressions of the generals of the Tang army when they discovered that Tuyuhun King City had become an empty city. It must be very exciting!"

The generals in the big tent couldn't help laughing, as if they had thought of the shocked and dumbfounded appearance of the generals of the Tang army.
