People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 1305 The flood destroyed the city and destroyed the country

Fierce fighting sounded all night long, and the city was covered with blood.

Li Xuan stood on the watchtower, staring closely at the city gate to the south.

A thin drizzle of rain fell directly from mid-air, as if to disperse the coming killing, but the city gate remained tightly closed.

"Commander, it's three o'clock in the morning." Wang Dezhen stood behind Li Xuan with a solemn expression.

"Qi Nie Zhusong has completely lost." Li Xuan turned around and said softly: "Send the order, open the dam and release the flood!"

"Here!" Wang Dezhen held the red pennant high in his hand and waved it down vigorously under the solemn gazes of Xiao Siye, Hei Te Changzhi and others.

On the dam in the distance, Wei Hongji bowed, and then forcefully pulled out a wedge from the machine next to him.

The next moment, the hammer at the top of the mechanism crashed down.

The hammer hit the dam body heavily, and the dam body below the hammer suddenly tilted.

Like a horizontal plank, it was instantly swept straight by the current.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Almost instantly, dozens of pieces of the dam body straightened instantly, like a precision instrument, and the immeasurable water flow immediately broke through the dam and slammed into the Luoshu city wall in the distance.

……

The Luoche River and the Longqu River burst their dams at the same time.

Under precise calculations, a huge amount of floods hit the city in an instant, and then brought more turbulent water waves along the channels that had been dug long ago, slamming into the city of Luoshu. Southwest corner.

This section of the city wall had withstood countless attacks from rolling stones and fireballs over the past few months.

It is already covered with countless cracks.

But because it was in the thickest part, it seemed quite stable for a while, and the Tubo people couldn't strengthen it even if they wanted to.

But now, the ferocious water waves hit the city wall hard. At this moment, a huge roar sounded between the sky and the earth, and there was even a faint flash of fire in the water waves.

There was a "boom", and in an instant, the southwest corner of Luozhe City Wall completely collapsed.

The soldiers standing at the southwest corner of the city wall followed the bricks and stones directly into the water before they could see clearly.

Create huge waves.

Everyone who saw this scene was shocked.

No matter the Tubo people or the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, everyone was shocked.

Although Li Xuan has always said that the city wall can be destroyed by accumulated flood water, not many people believe it.

At least they believe that even if the flood hits the city wall, it will take a long time before the city wall can be smashed with a catapult.

But at this time, the city wall collapsed instantly as soon as it was hit by the flood. Under the impact of the flood, they could even rush into the city directly by boat.

Before, many people thought that Li Xuan's target was the city gates, but at this moment, all the city gates around Luoxue City have been completely blocked by bluestones.

In order to prevent Li Xuan from using various methods to rush in, the Tubo people completely blocked the city gate, but they never expected that the southwest corner of the city wall would completely collapse.

All of a sudden, the torrent rushed directly into the city, and the situation collapsed instantly.

……

Li Xuan watched this scene calmly. The moment the water wave hit, the roar was indeed louder than expected, but the collapsed city wall suppressed the sound.

At that moment, a trace of fire could indeed be seen in the distance, but it was not obvious, and it would even make people think that it was some kind of bright reflection.

Of course, there will be people with sensitive minds who will be suspicious of something, but...

With a "Cang Cang" sound, the long sword was unsheathed.

"Gentlemen." Li Xuan's clear and clear voice rang out across the sky and earth, and countless soldiers instantly looked over with solemn expressions.

The sharp sword was held in his hand. Under the rain and fog, the sharp sword light fell into everyone's eyes.

Li Xuan said loudly: "The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty decreed: Tubo has no virtue, Heaven will despise it, Heaven will abandon it, and Heaven will punish it.

Today, Tubo will be destroyed by heaven.

Gentlemen! "

All the soldiers, in an instant, tightly grasped the weapons in their hands, and couldn't help but hold their breath.

"Gentlemen, the power to destroy the country is right in front of you. Take it as much as you can." Li Xuan slashed forward with the long sword in his hand.

The sharp voice seduces people's hearts.

In an instant, a war boat rushed out from the Longqu River and rushed towards the gap in the city wall.

In the blink of an eye, more war boats appeared, rushing into Luoshu City with extraordinary agility in the waves.

The eyes of the soldiers on the war boat were all red, and they wanted to take over Tubo immediately.

The merit of destroying the country, the merit of destroying the country.

Even if they don't mention the rewards from the court, these four words alone are enough for them to brag gloriously for a lifetime.

Even if such a person returns to his hometown after completing his service, he will still be well-offered by the local government.

In the camp, countless soldiers stared at the navy soldiers who had rushed into the city, their eyes full of envy and jealousy.

Right guard, navy.

That was Li Xuan's direct subordinate, the naval force he had been training with since he was in Jiangnan.

Throughout the summer, the naval forces had not made any real achievements. Their goal was today, right now.

The first one to rush into Luoxue City, the first one to suffer the most crazy counterattack from the Tubo people, was also the first one who had the best chance of completely taking over the Tubo Palace.

Potala, Potala, today, you are going to fall.

……

The sound of fighting kept ringing in Luoshu City, and the raging water tide continued to rush into the city. The water waves were so big that it seemed that the entire city would be completely submerged.

More war boats appeared on the water, and the soldiers in the camp began to quickly board the boats, and then rushed directly into the city through the gap, quickly occupying various passes in the city.

The Tubo people in the city didn't react at all.

……

"Young Master, why has Tubo not developed any shipping industry in recent years despite so many large rivers?" Li Xuan turned to look at Wei Hongji, who had just arrived, with curiosity in his eyes. Wei Hongji slightly cupped his hands and said: "I have heard from my official that the Tibetan shipping industry has used sheepskin rafts to carry goods for many years. There was a period of prosperity in the middle of it, which was where Her Royal Highness Princess Wenchang and Songtsen and his wife merged. Later, Songtsen died of illness, and Tubo and Tang Dynasty were at odds with each other. Many craftsmen of Tang Dynasty fell ill or died, and Tubo's shipbuilding industry gradually declined. "

"I see." Li Xuan nodded slowly. Tubo's prosperity relied on the books and craftsmen that Princess Wencheng brought with her when she got married.

Since Songtsan's death, Tubo and Tang Dynasty were at odds with each other, and a lot of knowledge that had not yet been absorbed fell into decline immediately.

Standing on the towering watchtower, Li Xuan looked sideways. The water in Longqu River and Luoche River had only just released a shallow layer. More water had turned into roaring water dragons and rushed into the city. The Tubo people had completely Lost the initiative.

Beyond the city wall, Li Xuan could clearly see the battle situation inside the city.

The war boat rushed into the city and immediately followed the current, heading straight for the white palace wall on the Red Mountain.

Most of the houses in the west and south of Luoche City have been burned down long ago. As long as they enter the city, they can immediately see the Red Mountain and the palace.

The Tubo soldiers stationed all around couldn't help but rush forward when they saw the war boat approaching.

Once the Tang people entered the palace, the whole of Tubo would really be doomed.

However, although the water in the sky began to spread after rushing into the city, it also hindered the movement of the Tibetan soldiers.

The longbow in his hand was unfolded steadily because he could not stand still.

But on the opposite war boat, crossbow arrows like a rain of locusts were completely flying.

It penetrated countless bodies in an instant, leaving only a body in the water.

Yan Tao retracted his long bow and stood on the boat, with uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.

He was the vanguard in destroying the country.

Yan Tao waved his hand, and instantly countless fast boats spread out in all directions.

From that look, it seemed that the entire Red Mountain and the entire Budala Palace were being completely surrounded.

The Tubo soldiers from all directions immediately jumped like rabbits in a hurry. Even if they jumped into the water, they rushed towards Hongshan, completely ignoring the army outside the city.

Indeed, the enemy has already invaded the city. What's the point of defending the city now?

On the watchtower, Li Xuan's eyes narrowed when he saw this scene: "Send the order, infantry attack the city and occupy the city wall."

"Here!"

……

Fierce fighting sounds suddenly sounded on the city wall, and the Tibetan soldiers who had no intention of fighting quickly retreated on the city wall.

Soon, the west gate and the south gate completely fell into the hands of Datang.

Countless stone blocks were pulled out from the city, and when the city gate was finally opened, the Tibetan reinforcements also rushed to the foot of the Red Mountain from the east and north gates of Wu Shui.

After all, there is no water in Dongcheng and Beicheng.

"Instruct the right to lead the army, and the right Xiaowei will immediately arrive under the east gate and north gate, cooperate with the city to open the city gate, and occupy the city wall. No escape is allowed in this city." Li Xuan looked sideways, Hei Te Changzhi and Shi Qing immediately handed over his hand.

"Send the order, enter the city, it's time for us to meet with the Lord of Tubo." Li Xuan turned around and immediately headed towards the arrow tower.

The other generals immediately followed. At this moment, they were only one step away from destroying Tubo.

That is to capture the leader of the Tubo Kingdom.

The war boat was prepared early, and a thousand elites from each department were waiting to board the war boat, and then headed directly towards Luoshu City in the turbulent water.

In addition to having a flat bottom, these war boats also have three wheels underneath, allowing them to move forward smoothly in shallow water.

In this way, even if the flood spreads in the city, the war boat will not be stranded.

……

Under the black banner, Li Xuan, dressed in black clothes and armor, holding an eight-sided Han sword in his hand, entered the Luoche city in a war boat.

In an instant, a white palace city appeared in Li Xuan's eyes in an empty area.

Li Xuan didn't need to say anything. The other generals had already followed the preset plan and quickly killed them in all directions.

The black banner continued forward, and under the mist of rain and mist, they finally arrived outside the palace wall.

Looking at the destroyed outer city gate, a sneer flashed across Li Xuan's lips: "You are really brave, you actually dare to build it in imitation of the imperial palace."

"So they deserve to die." Wang Dezhen stood on another small boat, together with Xiao Siye on the other side, and walked side by side with Li Xuan.

In front of them was a white palace wall, and inside the white palace wall was the inner city of the Tubo Palace.

In the inner city is the Tubo court hall which is half empty.

The prime minister, ministers, and military offices are all located in the inner city.

The deepest part of the inner city is the tall Red Mountain, and on the top of the Red Mountain is the palace with white walls.

King Tridu Songtsen of Tibet was there.

Now, the inner city wall has been completely captured, and there are bursts of fighting sounds in the city.

Li Xuan crossed the city wall and entered the inner city. The soldiers beside him were already swarming and killing in all directions.

As reinforcements arrived, the fighting in the inner city quickly subsided.

It was at this time that Li Xuan came to the palace.

Looking up, he seemed to be able to vaguely see the figures of countless Tubo kings collapsing.

……

"Young Master, tell me, are they still in the palace now?" Li Xuan looked at the palace hall above and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"Your Majesty suspects that there is a secret passage to the outside in this palace." Wei Hongji suddenly became solemn.

Li Xuan turned back and glanced at Wei Hongji. There were similar secret passages in Chang'an and Luoyang, so how could there not be one in the Tubo Palace?

Li Xuan said: "Send the order, Zuo Qianniu Weilang will lead Zhou Qian to lead the Heyuan Guard, and the right Wuwei will search outside the city. Anyone who escapes from the city will be arrested immediately. If there is resistance, kill him!"

"Here!" Zhou Qian immediately handed over his hands, then turned around and left in an instant.

Li Xuan raised his head again, and countless arrows fell densely from above. Even the brave soldiers could not climb up for a while.

"Send the order, deploy the catapult, and use poisonous fireballs." Li Xuan's voice was very soft, but the responses from the surrounding people resounded throughout the sky: "Follow the order."
