Datang Library

Chapter 844
For half an hour of bombing, the Tubo side was not stingy with the consumption of Hong Tianlei, and even a small raft was not allowed to go ashore. Datang's side took this countermeasure. There were not many soldiers on the big raft, and all of them were small rafts. Thousands of small rafts were put down every hour, just to consume the enemy's thunder.

Seeing the seemingly endless small rafts in the middle of the river rushing towards the water, Li Mingxin vaguely felt that something was wrong. It was impossible for Datang not to care about the lives and deaths of soldiers. After all, they only had [-] soldiers available, and the loss of [-] boats meant the death of at least [-] soldiers. , still can't repel them?

He hadn't figured it out yet, compared to Li Mingxin who specialized in technology in the academy, not a military general counselor all the way.

Datang anchored in the middle of the river, and a row of large ships stood side by side in the center of the river. First, they were used as suspect soldiers, and second, they were used as small raft launchers. The more Tubo consumed the thunder, the better the strategic goals of Datang would be accomplished.

When half of the thunderbolts in Tubo's stockpile were consumed, Li Xinzhong realized that something was wrong. If this speed continued, after one night, if Tubo had no thunderbolts, wouldn't it be a tooth-pulling tiger?

"No, this is a grass boat borrowing arrows." Li Mingxin exclaimed.

It wasn't until this time that Li Mingxin woke up. He thought of a Three Kingdoms script that he had read. After listening to his brother's explanation, Li Xinzhong scolded him for being shameless.

But if you want to talk about the solution, the best way is to ignore the boat, knowing that the other party is a dummy boat, and then waste ammunition needlessly, wouldn't you be a fool?
But Tubo is riding a tiger, and there is no way to stop the blasting thunder, because who knows if Datang will replace the dummy with a real person to cross the river and attack after stopping the defense?Tubo didn't dare to gamble, and couldn't afford to gamble. This was Datang's majestic conspiracy.

"Hey, it would be nice if we had a projectile device like Datang that has a long range and low consumption. It's a pity." Li Xinzhong sighed. It was transformed into a ballista, but he didn't have the ability, so he could only take anti-aircraft and bomb defense measures on the shore, and his own bombing still relied on catapults.

The warlords on the Datang side in the middle of the river laughed and said, if they consume each other like this, the other party may not be able to hold on until the boats are released. It is impossible for Tubo Hongtianlei to accumulate hundreds of thousands in one winter. One hundred thousand is overestimating him.

"Hey, let these boys bomb us with mines, and when it's dawn, it's time for us to turn around and take revenge." Cheng Huaimo laughed.

"For such a conspiracy, Prime Minister Cao sent [-] arrows to keep him safe, so how can the two half-assed people on the opposite side block it?" Li Yexu said disdainfully.

Li Chengqian opened his mouth and said: "Master wrote in the book of war that there is a sharp weapon in naval warfare called sea mines, which are specially used for shore defense. If the enemy's landing warship touches it, it will inevitably explode. If Tubo has this, it can crack the grass boat and borrow mines." .”

Everyone nodded. In that case, it seems that there is no need to set up the catapult. Many people who have never read this military book praised Li Chengqian for his extensive reading. In fact, this was also ordered by Emperor Li Er. Zhongnan Academy is a treasure house. Swipe baby.

Seeing that Hong Tianlei still consumed [-]% of it, Li Xinzhong knew that the situation was not good, and the enemy might counterattack in the morning, so while there was still a little vitality, it was time to retreat, this second natural danger could not be stopped Live in Datang, damn it, what kind of weather is this.

"Second brother, the Canghe River can't be defended anymore, we should retreat, retreat to Luoxie City, we still have a glimmer of hope." Li Xinzhong said distressedly.

Li Mingxin's face was lost, and he asked powerlessly: "Withdraw? Is the Luoxi city safe? Is the city of Medog not strong? We can't crack the ballista of the Tang Dynasty. Brother, I'm afraid we have no chance."

"Hmph, what are you talking about, I have already made a deal with the Western Turks. As long as our brothers last for a month, there will be chaos in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty. There are still seven days left. If we hold on for seven days, we will have a chance." Li Xinzhong shouted.

"Seven days? Can you trust the barbarians of the Western Turks? Bai Fan is a man who will take revenge. For Li Yuanji and Li Yuanba, the emperor cannot order them."

"Whether it is successful or not, retreat first, we can't sit here and wait for death, leaving 1000 people bluffing, we retreat overnight, the fog can give us half a day to retreat and march."

Hong Qianli and others in the middle of the river saw that the sound of thunder from the other side became sparse, and the boat even started to slip through the net and landed, but the enemy did not go up to capture it.

"No, the enemy wants to flee, hurry up, the ballista will open the way, and the army will board the boat and land on the beach." Cheng Huaimo ordered loudly.

It was still a thousand ballistas, and it was bombarded hundreds of meters away. The soldiers who stayed behind in Tubo were covered with a head-to-head cover before they could react. Nearly halfway.

Datang continued bombing all the way, [-] troops sat on huge rafts, lined up two miles and landed together, and quickly wiped out the remnants of Tubo who dared not show their faces.

This time on the bank of the Zang River, the Li brothers were completely defeated in the same skill competition. The last time the Tang Dynasty lost in the canyon official road, and this time Tubo lost in the sky.

Although Qin Huaidao didn't have cavalry this time, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were elite, and Tubo also had mostly infantry. After chasing for an hour, he had already seen the rear of the enemy army.

It can't be explained that a thousand crossbowmen spread out and directly covered them from a long distance, and a thousand thunderbolts bombed the enemy's rear, causing heavy casualties and increasing the enemy's escape speed by [-]%. Many Tubo soldiers only hated their parents for missing two babies leg.

One of the two armies chased and the other fled. After an hour of chasing battle, the Tubo army was reduced from [-] to [-]. The remaining [-] were either killed or captured. Even Li Xinzhong, the Tubo lord riding a horse, was bombed. Injured, one arm was broken, and all the mounts under his crotch were blown to death.

Seeing that the enemy was chasing after him, Luoxi City was still far away, and 2 people couldn't carry it far, Li Xinzhong was disheartened, and finally realized the reality. I am afraid that this time he is doomed.

After leaving [-] guards behind, he led [-] elite soldiers to escort Li's clansmen who joined the army and ran for ten miles. Li Xinzhong stopped the team with a wave of his hand.

"Second Brother, at this point, we have almost nowhere to go, we can't even run for our lives. My last breath of strength in Longxi is on you and me. Someone must sacrifice." Li Xinzhong said solemnly. Li Mingxin said.

"After I go to the end, I will be in the same sect. I can hold them back for a while. They are also pawns. My brother led the people to escape from Tubo, and go west over the snow-capped mountains to seek refuge." Li Mingxin said decisively.

Li Xinzhong smiled wryly and said: "Hehe, how can it be so easy, the Daxue Mountain in the west is known as the first day of danger in Tubo, if you want to cross it, you will have a narrow escape, it is impossible, and the Tang Dynasty will not give us time and opportunity.

Have you forgotten, as I said, you are the future of my Li family in Longxi, anyone can die, but you can't, so this time, after the death of your brother, you have to bring your clansmen to live. "

"Brother is my only family member. If you die, how can I be the only child?" Li Mingxin said stubbornly.

"Confused, what is more important than continuing the family blood?
It's a pity that it was only at this time that Brother Wei truly understood the mood of his great-grandfather who was struggling to survive. The unworthy descendant Li Xinzhong was wrong.

Second brother, I have acted too viciously in my life, made countless mistakes, and it is impossible to survive, but you are different. You are the person who has the most hope of saving the lives of the people in Datang's hands. You can't be stupid. "Li Xinzhong suddenly let out a sigh of emotion, as if he had realized everything.

"Hehe, how is it possible? I killed so many people and almost killed many fellow disciples. They can't tolerate me." Li Mingxin said in despair.
