Traveling through Du He, Li Chengqian's rebellion begins

Thousands of Tang army's vanguard soldiers rushed in and gained a foothold in the city without encountering any resistance.

They were not in a hurry to rush into the city, but waited for the soldiers behind them to push the catapults into the city and continue to use bombs to kill the enemy.

As for the wooden fences, they were all destroyed in the explosion.

Hundreds of steps away from the Tang army.

Tens of thousands of Tibetan soldiers formed a defensive formation. Upon closer inspection, each Tibetan soldier's face was full of fear.

"This... is this the magic mastered by the Tang army?"

"It's too fierce!"

"If the Tang army's magic hits us, will the half armor on our bodies be able to protect our bodies?"

"If even a rock can't resist, I'm afraid it will be difficult..."

Not to mention that these Tibetan soldiers were afraid, even Lun Qinling, who was coordinating the defense on the front line, had an extremely ugly expression on his face at this moment.

He was full of doubts, wondering why the magic skills mastered by the Tang army were endless.

Does Heaven really want to destroy Tubo?

Lun Qinling became extremely anxious when he saw the morale becoming low and thought of the Tang army's powerful sky bombs.

"no!"

"We can't just surrender!"

Lun Qinling knew how to deal with the Tang army's magic, which was to fight with the Tang army. In this way, the Tang army would not dare to use magic indiscriminately.

He shouted loudly while galloping on his horse.

"Warriors!"

"Although the magic skills mastered by the Tang army are powerful, they will be ineffective if we fight against them."

"For the safety of our wives and children, charge forward and drive the Tang army out of the city!"

When these soldiers saw the supervisors behind them drawing their swords, they hesitated for a moment, then rushed forward with their spears tightly grasped.

Staying here is just waiting for death, so it is better to fight a fierce battle with the Tang army.

"kill!"

Tens of thousands of Tibetan infantrymen, led by their respective generals, roared and charged towards the Tang army.

Before they could run far, thousands of arrows were fired from the Tang army. The dense rain of arrows was like an iron curtain, which instantly turned the Tibetan soldiers in the front into hedgehogs.

Fortunately, the shield soldiers protected them and blocked most of the arrows.

Otherwise, this dense rain of arrows alone would cause them huge casualties.

Just after the second round of arrow rain from the Tang army ended, more than ten large black spots suddenly appeared in the air outside the city and fell accurately towards the Tubo army formation.

Lun Qinling, who was supervising the battle from behind, shouted in panic.

"Avoid the Tang army's magic!"

"quick!"

His loud reminder had no effect in the noisy battlefield, and the flag bearer and drummer had no time to react.

Although the soldiers in the front noticed the monster falling from the sky, they had no way to avoid it due to the small space.

"Boom~"

"Boom~"

As more than ten huge roars sounded, Tibetan soldiers fell down in groups, and countless wailing sounds were heard on the battlefield.

The remaining soldiers, whose chests ached from the shock, looked at the huge mushroom cloud rising in the sky and the miserable state of their companions. Many of them were so scared that they wet their pants.

It's all mixed up here and there, and you can't even tell what a human being looks like.

The soldiers were stunned for more than ten breaths. When the buzzing sound in their ears disappeared, they all shouted in panic.

"witchcraft!"

"What a terrible sorcery!"

"The Tang army's magic is coming soon, retreat quickly!"

The soldiers in the front turned around and ran back frantically regardless of whether there was an order to retreat or not.

The Tang army took the opportunity to launch a hail of arrows, killing hundreds of enemy soldiers, but did not pursue the victory.

They saw that Tubo had set up a second line of defense, and if they pursued them rashly, they would probably suffer considerable casualties.

Central military position.

The deputy general said in a panic, "General, if the soldiers retreat, it will affect the defense of tens of thousands of people. Should we send the supervision team to take action?"

Lun Qinling said in a deep voice: "Let them retreat!"

They were hundreds of steps away from the Tang army. If the soldiers wanted to rush over, in addition to the risk of being killed by the Tang army's sorcery, they would also have to face a rain of arrows from the Tang army's archers.

When these thousands of remaining soldiers rushed forward, they were still not enough to be killed by the Tang army's spearmen.

"promise."

The deputy general responded, and then quickly gave orders to make way for evacuation.

Lun Qinling watched as the Tang army only advanced a few dozen steps. After forming a defensive formation, they did not take any further action.

After a cup of tea.

When Lun Qinling saw dozens of catapults being pushed in, his eyelids jumped and he quickly gave orders.

"Retreat immediately!"

"Break up into small groups and engage in street fighting with the Tang army!"

They had fully witnessed the power of the Tang army's magic and knew that if they gathered together, they would only die.

As the horns sounded and the battle flags waved, the Tibetan soldiers frantically retreated to the alleys behind them, fearing that the Tang army's sorcery would be used on them.

Half a quarter of an hour later.

When Xue Rengui saw that all the catapults had been brought in, he and Xi Junmai looked at each other, and then gave orders in a cold voice.

"Use thunder bombs to wash the ground and disrupt the enemy's formation!"

"After releasing 250 thunder bombs, the entire army will attack. Luo Tong, Xue Wanbei, and Fang Yiai, lead your troops and follow this general into the imperial city!"

There was a pause.

Xue Rengui whispered, "Brother Xi, the enemy troops outside the imperial city are now in your hands!"

"it is good."

Xi Junmai nodded slightly.

For the next half hour, the Tang army was not in a hurry to attack, but continued to advance with artillery fire.

These powerful bombs not only killed a large number of Tibetan soldiers, but also frightened the remaining 30,000 Tibetan soldiers.

"Why can't the Tang army use up all their magic?"

"One sorcery spell landed, leaving hundreds of soldiers dead or wounded. How can we continue the fight?"

"Why not surrender..."

The soldiers defending in the front were frightened by the explosion. If they were not afraid of the swords and horse lances of the supervisory team behind them, they would have wanted to drop their weapons and surrender.

It’s so painful!

They were not fighting against mortals at all, but against the gods in heaven.

When the Tang army used thunder bombs to enter the center of the city, tens of thousands of Tang soldiers, led by Xue Rengui and Xi Junmai, launched a fierce attack on the enemy troops in the city.

The Tibetan soldiers had no intention of resisting. When they saw the fully armored Tang army coming towards them, many of them dropped their weapons and surrendered.

The Tibetan soldiers who were still resisting were easily wiped out by the Tang army.

Behind the battlefield.

The deputy general smiled bitterly and said, "General, we have lost over ten thousand soldiers, and more and more are surrendering. Why don't you go and persuade the Zanpu to surrender?"

"If we keep fighting like this, we'll all die."

The soldiers have already surrendered under the intimidation of the Tang army. If they continue to resist, they may not even have the chance to surrender.

Besides, the soldiers were so frightened that they had no intention of resisting at all.

Lun Qinling nodded and said, "You organize the soldiers to continue the resistance. I will go to the imperial city to see the Zamp!"

"it is good!"

The deputy general responded through gritted teeth.

...

Inside the Imperial Palace.

Lun Qinling recounted the tragic battle scene on the front lines, then bowed and asked, "Zanpu, what do you think we should do next?"

"Continue to resist or surrender to the Tang army?"
