Great Tang princess

Chapter 740
The order was indeed issued, but it was somewhat troublesome to do it.The structure of Luosuo City is essentially similar to that of Dongdu and Chang'an, with a wide street in the middle and various buildings on both sides.

It's just that the construction technology here in Tubo is not so strong, so it is rare to see houses with more than two floors, and they are basically houses made of mud or wood.

As for the houses where the nobles lived, they were basically made of masonry.

And at the end of the street in the middle is the Red Mountain Palace.

Because there are dense bungalows on both sides of the street, if you want to occupy the main street, this means that the leading special forces and the follow-up infantry will need to fight street battles.

Although there is usually training in this area, it is not difficult, but it always feels a little troublesome.

Although the enemy troops on the city wall have been dispersed now, there should still be other troops inside.

Just like the sixteen guards of Nanya in the previous imperial court, it is impossible for the capital of this slavery country to have only one army stationed there.

Moreover, the requirement above is to occupy the main street, which means that no enemy troops can appear within the three streets on both sides, otherwise it will be troublesome if the Holy Driver is shocked.

So after the order was issued, the special forces and the infantry immediately cooperated and dispersed immediately after passing through the city gate.

The order Li Chongrun received was to lead a large infantry force to clean up the entire main street. After the saint arrived, no enemy troops could appear.

So after entering the city, they immediately arranged for people to go up to the roofs on both sides and inspect the entire street from a height.

Then the remaining people were divided into two teams, sticking to the buildings on both sides of the main street, and began to clear the past little by little.

The comrades-in-arms on the roof will cooperate with them to ensure that the enemy is detected in advance as much as possible to reduce casualties.

Li Chongrun walked in the front with an ax in his hand, while his comrades in the rear were holding bows and crossbows and aimed at his front.

Such a formation can ensure that no matter whether the enemy appearing in front of him is holding a long-range weapon or a short weapon, he can respond immediately.

There are many alleys on the main street, so it is the most troublesome to clean up.

Every time you pass an alley, you have to search carefully before leaving, and at the same time, two people should be left to guard the alley to prevent the enemy from coming suddenly.

Fortunately, this cleaning method is fast enough, and nearly half of it has passed in less than half an hour.

Li Chongrun's mood did not relax in the slightest. On the battlefield, if he didn't pay attention, he might die.

At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of deliberately lowered footsteps.

He immediately raised his hand and clenched his fist, and the soldiers behind him also stopped.

He approached the corner of the alley and quickly glanced sideways.

In just such an instant, at least ten people behind him were moving towards this side.

These people are all dressed in heavy armor and holding scimitars, the same as the soldiers on the main gate wall.

It is very likely that people who rushed over from the side or behind the city wall should have seen that the city gate was lowered and knew that the city gate was broken, so they came to support.

"Accept the enemy!"

Li Chongrun let out a low growl and raised the ax in his hand.

In less than two seconds, several Tubo warriors in heavy armor rushed out from behind the corner.

Li Chongrun, who was prepared, swung his ax out and knocked down the first one.

The other soldiers behind them also pulled the triggers one after another, shooting out the crossbow arrows.

The dozen or so local warriors were all dealt with before they came out of the alley.

However, this was just running behind the front. After seeing this scene, many people stopped and did not continue to run out.

At the same time, there was a "creaking" sound. If you heard it right, it should be that these people have all hid in the houses on both sides.

Li Chongrun turned his head and listened carefully. There seemed to be no sound of struggling. At least there should be no civilians in the private house he was close to.

In this case, there is a faster way to clean it up.

He entered the alley and raised his hand to touch the walls of this folk house. He felt that it was just covered with a layer of mud after being tied up with a fence. In terms of strength, it might not be as strong as a wooden board.

So he immediately turned his head and waved to a soldier behind him.

The other party nodded, then took off the shotgun hanging from his shoulder and threw it over.

The production of this single-barreled shotgun is not high today, only 24 are produced per year.

Nowadays, those who can get this kind of weapons in the major military regions are all extremely high-quality soldier kings with comprehensive qualities.

After receiving the gun, Li Chongrun yanked back the handguard under the barrel and made a "click".

"Two dogs."

"Behind you!" A soldier behind him raised his crossbow and agreed.

"Prepare sugar cane!"

"understand!"

The soldier named Ergou agreed, then took out his lighter and took a grenade from his chest.

Seeing that he was ready, Li Chongrun aimed his gun at the wall and pulled the trigger.

"boom--"

This kind of fence and walls made of mud can't resist weapons beyond this era.

The shot made a hole the size of a basketball directly in the wall.

The Tubo warriors hiding in the house were startled, yelling something in Tubo.

At the same time, Ergou behind him also held a lighter and lit the fuse of the grenade.

The burning fuse made a "chichi" sound, and it was squeezed in the hand for a while, and the grenade was thrown in from the hole when the fuse was about to reach the bottom.

"boom--"

After the grenade was thrown in, it exploded in less than a second.

Standing outside the wall, Li Chongrun and others felt that the wall seemed to vibrate, and a large amount of dust and dust fell down.

At the same time, screams and moans of pain came one after another in the house.

Li Chongrun pulled back the handguard under the gun barrel, and a bullet casing still emitting green smoke was thrown out.

A soldier behind him quickly picked it up and put it in his pocket. In this day and age, bullet casings still have to be recycled, after all, the cost is a bit high.

He glanced inside with the gun in his hand, then waved his hand lightly: "Keep pushing."

The essential purpose of the grenade is not to kill, but to hurt.

Most of the enemy troops in the house were still alive, Li Chongrun did not order to make up the knife, but continued to advance.

As for the matter here, there will naturally be medical troops to deal with it later.

So he stood at the front with a gun in his hand, and led the soldiers behind him to push forward.

When passing by the next alley, he heard footsteps, and he rushed out with a lunge and raised his gun to shoot.

However, after seeing the situation in front of him, he didn't pull the trigger. In the alley was a middle-aged man with a flustered expression. He had no armor on his body and no weapon in his hand.

Seeing the soldier in camouflage uniform in front of him, he was startled, and then raised his hands above his head, saying something in Tubo.

"Civilians are found, I'll be on the alert!" Li Chongrun said as he walked forward, passing the middle-aged man to check his rear.

"I'll control it!" said Ergou behind him, pulling out the rope and walking over.

Then he said to the commoner in Tubo language: "Sit cross-legged and put your hands behind your back!"

The other soldiers behind him pointed their crossbows at the civilian to prevent him from bursting out and hurting people.

With this series of cooperation, the people were quickly brought under control, and then they regrouped and continued to move forward.

The degree of cooperation among them even made the civilians under control couldn't help but look at them in a daze.

As "bang bang" gunshots continued to resound throughout the street, the main street of Luosuo City was gradually brought under control.

Standing at the gate of the city and looking in, you can see the Hongshan Palace at the end of your sight at a glance.

And within sight, except for soldiers in camouflage uniforms on both sides of the street and on the roof, there was no confusion at all.

"boom--"

With the sound of gunfire, the Tubo warrior in front of Li Chongrun flew upside down nearly a foot away as if hit by a truck.

After landing, the man's chest was completely blossomed, bloody and bloody.

At close range, the power of the shotgun is so terrifying, it's better to say that he didn't smash people to pieces, which is already a credit to his heavy armor.

Li Chongrun threw the gun to the soldiers behind: "Reload the bullet, remember to change the firing pin."

The second dog behind came over and asked, "What's the follow-up?"

"It's about time, and the saint is about to enter the city." Li Chongrun looked up at the sky, "It won't take long to walk the main street. We must completely control the Red Mountain Palace before the saint arrives."

"This... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, right?" Er Gou said while looking up at Hongshan Palace.

The Hongshan Palace is located on a hill, which is not at the same height as the square in front of the palace.

Not to mention that the emperor's personal guards must be in the palace at this moment. It is really difficult to shoot in with just a few shotguns in this situation.

"No problem, ask the air assault troops to cooperate with us. They cable down from the top, and I will attack from the bottom up. In addition, remove the prefabricated fragments on the grenade. We are not very familiar with the internal structure of the Red Mountain Palace. , Be careful of accidental injury."

They only had a little understanding of the internal structure of the Red Mountain Palace, and this was based on information from Lun Gongren who came here.

But the problem is that Lun Gongren was not an important court official in Tubo back then, not all places in the palace are clear.

So they can only be regarded as half-knowledgeable about the interior of Hongshan Palace.

"Yes!" After Ergou agreed, he immediately asked the soldiers next to him to signal the air.

After a while, the soldiers on the hot air balloon also waved the flag, and a reply came, saying that he would do as he said.

Hongshan Palace is divided into two palaces, the White House and the Red Palace, which are mainly used to enshrine Buddha statues and emperors of past dynasties.

And the White House is the royal family's propaganda and the emperor's bedroom. At this time, they are also attacking the White House.

At this moment, the leading troops who had cleared the Central Street had gathered in the square. Li Chongrun looked at the four shotguns they had in total, and the air assault troops seemed to have six.

Coupled with the grenades and the crossbows in the hands of the soldiers, they completely constitute the conditions for attacking the White House.

"Although it is unlikely that bows and arrows will be used in the palace, sharp soldiers must wear shields!" Li Chongrun issued an order, "We must try our best to prevent casualties in our army."

"Yes!" The soldiers behind agreed in unison.

When their ground forces were integrated, dozens of hot air balloons also flew over the Red Mountain Palace, ropes were thrown out of the hanging baskets, and people had already begun to descend to the top of the palace along the ropes.

"They've arrived, ready to attack!"

Li Chongrun pulled back the handguard under the barrel and loaded the gun.Then he followed behind the shields raised by the vanguard, and followed them to start climbing the stairs.

At the same time, the soldiers who landed on the top of the palace also began to tie ropes around the edge, and hung themselves out of the window along the ropes.

After briefly observing the inside of the window, he took out the grenade, ignited it and threw it in.

After the explosion, these soldiers quickly put their feet on the wall and swung themselves in through the window.

Then there were not too dense gunshots from the top floor of the palace, mixed with human roars and nervous screams.

……

On the other side of the frontline command office, Li Shouli walked in: "Grandma, the chariot has been assembled, let's move it into the city."

Wu Zetian put down the teacup in his hand, nodded slightly: "Okay, then go and have a look."

After speaking, he gently put down the teacup, stood up and followed Li Shouli outside.

On the open space outside the office, a 32-person walking chariot has been prepared.

The things made in the barracks are certainly not as luxurious as real walking chariots, and the practicality is definitely sufficient.

Moreover, 32 people can carry her an old lady, which can also ensure that it is stable enough.

Don't look at this chariot with only four pillars, which are hollowed out on all sides, and only a sunshade cover is added on the top of the head.

It seemed dangerous, but in fact, the streets were completely controlled now, and no one could approach her at all.

Besides, all the commanding heights on both sides of the street have been occupied, so there is no need to worry about someone shooting her with a crossbow from a distance.

A wide chair is fixed on the chariot, and the chair is covered with a complete tiger skin.

Wu Zetian slowly sat down on the chair, adjusted the crown on her body, and nodded slightly.

"Get up! Enter the city!"

Following an order, the huge chariot was lifted up and walked steadily towards the gate of Luosuo City.

When I came to the gate of the city, I could find that a large number of soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms had gathered here, and there were still many hot air balloons in the sky that had not yet landed.

A large number of enemy prisoners were escorted out from both sides, while civilians would be treated better, at least they would not be tied up.

Seeing the huge chariot slowly approaching, all the soldiers stopped their work and stood at attention in unison.

As the chariot passed by, everyone raised their hands in salute.

He didn't continue his work until the chariot passed by.

And beside the chariot, Shangguan Wan'er, who was walking with her, said softly: "No matter how you look at the army trained by His Highness, you won't get tired of it."

The main reason is that this uniform movement is too chic and neat, it is simply a visual enjoyment.

Let alone her, even Wu Zetian, who was sitting on the chariot, felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment when he saw this scene.

As far as the emperor is concerned, seeing how powerful his army is, he will inevitably feel proud.
