Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2244
After the explosion stopped for a long time, Li Ke, king of Shu, dared to order someone to come forward to check.

He was afraid that there was still unexploded gunpowder. If someone walked over and exploded, it would be bad.

The explosion finally ended, and when the fire was extinguished, it was already ten minutes before dawn.

The sun has not yet risen, and a layer of fog can be seen in the distance.

Li Ke's eyes were red, murderous.

No one dared to talk to him at this time, everyone stood by and waited.

After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Li Ke finally turned around and faced his subordinates.

"My lord..."

Li Ke interrupted them with a wave of his hand, and said: "Tuyuhun is really abominable. If you don't destroy Tuyuhun, this king will not give up. They think that if we destroy our gunpowder, everything will be fine. They are wrong. We don't have gunpowder, so it will be the same." able to capture Sands City."

"What the prince said is very true. Without gunpowder, we can still capture Jinsha City."

"Swear to the death to capture the Sands City."

"Swear to the death to capture the Sands City."

"........."

All the soldiers of the Tang army shouted angrily, Li Ke nodded and said: "Okay, let the soldiers prepare, we will attack Jinsha City soon, and let our hot air balloons also prepare, set fire to me Burn down Sands City."

Last night, Tuyuhun burned their barracks, and today, they will burn the entire Jinsha City.

Burning Jinsha City, it is naturally impossible to capture Jinsha City like this, but at least it can affect the morale of Tuyuhun.

After Li Ke gave this order, a group of Tang army officers and soldiers made some preparations, and then they went straight to Jinsha City.

At this time, on the tower of Jinsha City, Mahadori was already waiting with his soldiers and horses.

Seeing Shu King Li Ke under the city, Mahadori couldn't help laughing, and asked, "His Royal Highness, are you satisfied with the explosion last night?"

This is simply an insult to Shu Wang Li Ke.

Li Ke's eyes were fixed, and he scolded: "You despicable villain, do you think that my Tang Dynasty will not be able to attack your Jinsha City without gunpowder?"

"Hehe, yesterday you had gunpowder and you couldn't take down Jinsha City. Today, without gunpowder, do you think you can take it down? I'm not afraid to tell you that I, Tuyuhun, saved my strength yesterday. Otherwise, I wouldn't care about you. But today, I'm going to do my best to spit out the grain."

After Mahadoli said this, all the soldiers of Tuyuhun immediately shouted angrily: "Swear to defend Jinsha City to the death."

"Swear to the death to defend Sands City."

The roar resounded through the sky.

The morale of Tuyuhun was very high. Seeing this situation, Li Ke's eyes narrowed slightly. The destruction of gunpowder already made him a little worried. Now that things in Tuyuhun are so prosperous, could it be that he really can't take down Tuyuhun? ?
But this is his last chance, if he can't capture Tuyuhun, how can he still have a chance to compete with those people for the throne?
He is not the direct prince, this is already his weakness, and now that he has suffered successive failures, then he may be completely out of luck with the throne.

Worry, worry, worry made Li Ke go crazy.

"Rush me!"

With an order, the Tang army immediately began to attack the city. Without gunpowder, they still had trebuchets and the Tang god crossbow. After these two things were launched like this, the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses on the tower were not feeling well.

However, the power of these things is far inferior to that of artillery, so the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses on the tower began to guard, and the guarding was very easy.

However, at this moment, some hot air balloons suddenly appeared in the sky. After these hot air balloons flew over the Sands City, they shot rockets downward.

Flames fell from the sky one after another, and soon the entire Jinsha City was full of fires.

"General, Tang Jun is really despicable. He even set fire to our city. Now many people's houses are on fire. What should we do?"

Mahadori snorted, and said: "Let those common people put out the fire by themselves first, and we must not relax here. We must stop those Tang troops. As long as we stop them today, the morale of the Tang army will definitely be damaged. In a short time, they want to It is not easy to attack the city."

"Here!"

The fire in Jinsha City was raging to the sky, and on the city tower, the soldiers of Tuyuhun were fighting with all their might.

The corpses fell down one by one, blood flowed down the city wall, and the smell of blood filled the air, making people feel uncomfortable all over.

Fighting, fighting, the two sides don't know how long they will continue to fight, they are already crazy now, they are all desperate, the death rate is increasing, and it is speeding up.

Many soldiers and horses in Tuyuhun died, and the Tang army did not see any advantage.

They have been fighting since the morning, but at night, the Tang army has not yet captured Jinsha City.

Many times, they were almost about to capture Jinsha City, but they were quickly stopped by Tuyuhun's troops.

They raised hopes again and again, but they were extinguished again and again.

As night fell, the fire in Sands City was temporarily brought under control, but the thick smoke was still lingering.

The wind was blowing, and it became colder after nightfall.

The Tang army failed to capture Jinsha City, and many Tang army soldiers were very tired. They didn't rest well last night, and today they fought like this, even if they were iron men, they couldn't bear it.

"My lord, I'm afraid we won't be able to take Sands City today, what should we do?"

Everyone turned their attention to Li Ke. Li Ke's face was ugly and his eyes were fixed. He knew very well that if they couldn't capture Sands City today, it would be difficult to capture Sands City again in the future, unless they had gunpowder.

But the gunpowder was transported from Chang'an City, and it would take a month or two. If he failed to capture Jinsha City in a month or two, he would be considered a failure.

He is struggling, he is weighing the pros and cons.

After a long time, Li Ke finally waved his hand and said, "Mingjin withdraws."

After nightfall, attacking the city was even more unfavorable to them, so all he could do now was to retreat temporarily, and look for opportunities to capture Jinsha City later.

Although the gunpowder was destroyed, if he could capture the Sands City, it would be considered a victory. He must win.

Tang Jun called for gold to withdraw his troops, and all the Tang troops retreated one after another. At this time, on the tower, Mahadori was already exhausted, and at the moment Tang Jun retreated, he suddenly sat on the ground.

They're under a lot of pressure.

"General..."

Mahadoli waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired. Let the soldiers go back to rest. The Tang army won't be able to capture Jinsha City in a short time. We have capital to spend with them."

"Here!"

All the soldiers and horses of Tuyuhun went down to rest one after another, and Mahadori couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief at this moment.
