Chapter 144 Blood-stained Dorma City

Although it was the dawn that was rising, it was already cloudless and blue and clear. Today was destined to be a sunny and hot summer day.

When the Tubo people were drinking butter tea, the Tang army under the city of Doma began to move. The war trumpet sounded and the Tang army began to gather. Since the Tang army surrounded Doma City, the Tang army had only rested and had not had such a time of movement.

This is very unusual. Tubo soldiers hurried to report to Daram. At this time, Daram had no longer had his former arrogance after the battle outside the city of Doma. He was a famous general in Tubo, and he had a high opinion of himself and was not attracted by his eyes. The battle in Doma City not only destroyed tens of thousands of Tubo's troops, but also made Daram seem to have become a different person.

"The Tang army is going to attack!" Dalan said in his heart, and slightly tidied up his armor and rushed to the top of the city. Looking around, there was no one who made a noise in the Tang army camp for dozens of miles except for the trumpets and the neighing of war horses.

Dalan is proficient in military tactics and knows that it is not easy for an army of tens of thousands of people to be purged in such a way. Even the Tubo army cannot do it, but the Tang army can do it. It is not a blessing that the Tang army can be strong and invincible, and it is indeed not comparable to the Tubo army. It is not unfair to his defeat at the city of Doma.

When Dalan thought of that battle, he felt very uncomfortable and sneered: "Even if the Tang army is brave and good at fighting, what can I do to me? This is the city of Doma, not comparable to those small cities you have captured."

The city of Doma is the northern gate of Tubo. Tubo has put in a lot of effort and has been operating for a hundred years. It is very strong. It is inferior to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. According to Dalan's estimate, if the Tang army wants to attack Doma City, it will be unlucky for 20,000 people to survive the price of 30,000 people.

The size of ten miles is all made of blue stone, and the city wall is five meters high. It can be imagined. Moreover, a lot of food and grass have been accumulated in the city, which is enough for 30,000 troops in March. Dalan has sufficient confidence: "Let's fight slowly! Although I have less than 10,000 people, I can still teach you a painful lesson!"

Just as Dalan turned his mind, the Tang army opened a camp, team after team, purging people, bright armor and bright people's momentum. The Tang army came outside the city, lined up in square formations, standing straight, like cement piles, unshakable.

What surprised Dalan was that the Tang army did not bring siege weapons, and there was no cavalry, and there were no heavy infantry, and there were only light infantry.

Dalan is very familiar with the Tang army's tactics. If it is a field battle, the Tang army will arrange too many crossbows, split up bars, horn crossbows and single crossbows, waiting for the enemy to die. If the enemy charges rashly, it will shoot at Tang army's powerful long-range weapons, resulting in heavy casualties.

When the enemy has almost consumed it, the Tang army's cavalry, heavy infantry and light infantry will be put into battle. Cavalry and light infantry will deal with the enemy's infantry, while heavy infantry is mainly responsible for dealing with the enemy's cavalry.

In a word, the reason why the Tang army is strong is not only because they are well-trained, well-equipped, and extremely courageous, but also because the Tang army has good coordination and cooperation. On the battlefield, the Tang army generally does not invest in one branch of troops to fight, but often multiple branches of troops to coordinate. Good coordination is an important reason why the Tang army is invincible.

Daran had never seen the fact that only light infantry was sent like today, and he couldn't help but be surprised. His eyes widened and he looked at the light infantry again and again. Yes, it was a light infantry!

"What are they going to do? It would be a big joke if the light infantry without siege weapons could capture the city of Doma! I, Daran, would not be so incompetent!" Daran thought angrily.

He would never have thought that the Tang army had artillery and it was enough to deal with the city of Doma. In front of the artillery, no matter how strong the city of Doma was, it could not resist it. As long as the city gate opened, the Tang army's light infantry entered the city to kill.

Heavy infantry is very powerful, but it requires enough space. Heavy infantry must be arranged in formation to have power. The problem is that small cities such as Doma City and Sunset City are different. Not only are the cities much larger, but they are also much more prosperous. In addition to tents, there are many houses in the city. These things hinder the performance of heavy infantry. Similarly, cavalry is not very useful in Doma City, so it is better to use light infantry to conduct street battles.

It was precisely from this point of view that Guo Qianguan decided to join the light infantry.

In the Tang army's barracks, Chen Wanrong was standing in the morning sun. The dazzling sunshine was very dazzling, but it had no effect on Chen Wanrong.

Chen Wanrong stood in front of the artillery, looked serious, glanced at the artillery, and slowly spoke: "Brothers: Since we passed the Stone Castle City, we have traveled thousands of miles apart, which is a miracle! Why do I say it is a miracle? That is because we are not riding on horseback or moving forward lightly, but we have carried the artillery and walked the journey of thousands of miles. This is an amazing achievement! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a miracle!

"Think about how we survived the days just passed! Jishi Mountain, with majestic mountains, dangerous roads, muddy roads, and difficult to pass. We forced the cannons to be carried over with our shoulders and completed the journey of thousands of miles with our feet! Our shoulders were worn out, bleeding, and flesh was rotten. Some brothers put the cannons on their bones and carried the cannons forward. This has not been seen in the history of the Tang Dynasty! This has not been seen in the history of the Chinese history!

"Think about what we were doing when we were so sleepy that we couldn't open our eyes? I rode on the horse and tied the rope to the horse's back and dozed off! There were hundreds of thousands of troops in the Tang Dynasty. Which army had done such a thing? No! Only our artillery!

"Touch our feet, blood blisters are nothing, that is the slightest! Your feet, and mine, have all worn out the flesh and blood. A brother who has cured our wounds hugged a brother's foot and cried, and he said, this is the worst foot he has ever seen in his life! This is the best praise for our heroic behavior!

"Also, during the march, we had no time to rest, and we had no time to bury the pot and cook rice, so we could only cook cold and drink coldly. Many brothers had blood bubbles in their mouths, and they were gnawing cold and hard food as if they were swallowing a knife. They did not complain or complain, and endured the pain and ate cold and cook cold. They had only one thought: I must eat enough! I must have strength! I must carry the cannon to the city of Doma!"

Speaking of this, Chen Wanrong's eyes became wet when he recalled the difficulty of this journey of a thousand miles.

The artillery soldiers all held their tears in their eyes, and they held back without letting the tears flow down!

This thousand-mile journey is simply a journey of a devil. Without a strong body and an extraordinary will, it is impossible to walk down! But the artillery soldiers walked down. Although they had suffered heavy costs, no one complained!

After hearing this, Guo Qianguan and the generals couldn't help but wipe their tears. They had all crawled among the dead for countless times, their hearts as hard as iron, but when they thought of the hardships experienced by the artillery, they had to shed hero tears!

Taking a breath and calming down the mood, Chen Wanrong continued: "Brothers: You have created a miracle, a miracle that has never been before and has never come after was created by our artillery! We are suffering, but we are proud!"

"We are suffering, but we are proud!" The artillery whipped his fists and shouted loudly.

When the roar of the artillery stopped, Chen Wanrong continued: "The period of time I was with you is the most proudest time in my life! From now on, when I get old and can't walk anymore, I will tell my grandchildren about how we have completed this heroic story of this thousand-mile journey!"

"General!" The artillery soldiers could no longer hold it back and started crying.

"Men don't cry easily, but they are not sad before they are sad." They are not sad, but excited. A general will never forget them in his life, which is enough to move any artillery soldier.

Liu Fuqing shouted: "General, when the brothers are old, they will tell their grandchildren about the story of the general and how the general leads us through this impossible journey that cannot be completed in a thousand miles!"

"Yes! We must tell our juniors the story of the general!" The artillery soldiers agreed in unison.

Since Chen Wanrong broke into the palace for Liu Fuqing, his prestige in the artillery has increased greatly. The artillery knew that he was sincere to others and was heartbroken. However, compared to what Chen Wanrong did for this thousand miles, it was simply not worth mentioning. During this thousand miles, Chen Wanrong and the artillerymen supported each other and shared the joys and sorrows. The artillery's shoulders were worn out and their feet were broken, and Chen Wanrong's shoulders and feet were no different from theirs.

What kind of friendship is this? This is a love of life and death that shares weal and woe!

In this life, no one can forget anyone!

Whenever, Chen Wanrong will remember that he has a group of artillery brothers who share life and death! The artillery will remember that they have a good general who is always with them no matter how dangerous they are!

"We have suffered so much and suffered so much fatigue in order to carry the cannons to the city of Doma. Now, we have completed this mission! However, our mission has not yet been completed. I order you: set up the cannons and razed the city of Doma to the ground!" Chen Wanrong's eyes were as cold as a sword and he issued an order loudly.

"Raberate the city of Doma!" The artillery roared excitedly, extremely excited, like a wolf or a tiger!

After experiencing a journey of thousands of miles, the artillery soldiers were waiting for this moment. Their faces were red with excitement and their eyes were filled with bloody light. Chen Wanrong gave the cannons and pushed them out of the camp with order.

The artillery was excited and soon prepared the artillery. The gunner stood in his position, waiting for Chen Wanrong's orders.

Looking at the towering city of Doma, Chen Wanrong's blood suddenly boiled, and he enjoyed the feeling of the battlefield. He raised his right hand high and waved heavily: "Fire the cannon!"

As soon as the words were finished, the artillery was exerted. Dozens of shells dragged their long tail flames and fell towards the top of the city of Doma. Balls of fireballs flashed, and explosions came one after another, making a sound, as if they were thunder.

The originally dense city head of Tubo has now become empty, with only the broken limbs and broken arms, splashing meat and blood.

There were also screams from seriously injured Tubo soldiers!

The first time Tubo soldiers were attacked by hot weapons in their lives, they were shocked when they saw this bloody scene. They stood on the top of the city with their eyes protruding, their mouths wide open, and they were at a loss.

Dalan didn't know what the cannon was. He suddenly heard the sound of thunder and thought it was thunder. When he looked up, he saw that the sky was clear and there was no sign of thunder.

Just when I was not sure, a Tubo soldier ran over in panic and reported: "Master General, it's not good. The Tang people know the immortal skills. I ask Lei Gong to come down to earth and kill all the brothers!"

The civilization of Tubo was underdeveloped and was very superstitious. He didn't know what the artillery was, so he could only think that it was Lei Gong who showed his power. Dalan didn't believe it and scolded: "Nonsense! Lei Gong is a god, how could he descend to earth?"

The Tubo people believed in the affairs of immortals and Buddhas, and Dalan was no exception.

"Master, is it true!" The soldier was still panicked.

Daran hurriedly followed the soldiers and saw the bloody scene. He was so surprised that he couldn't even speak. He pointed to the ground that seemed to be torn apart by the devil: "This...

Daran, who has always spoken fluently, was stuttered for the first time in his life.

At this moment, another round of artillery came and landed in the pile of soldiers not far from Dalan. After the explosion, there were only 20 to 30 survivors. Those who survived were either injured or scared, kneeling on the ground and kowtowed, muttering words in their mouths, praying to the gods.

"Oh! Military Supervisor, you shot the wrong one. The city gate is here!" Guo Qianguan saw that the artillery specialized in firing artillery into places with many people on the top of the city, and hurriedly reminded Chen Wanrong.

Chen Wanrong didn't care: "Master, I'm right! I'm the ones I beat these turtle grandsons!"

Cheng Xiaotian reminded: "Mr. Military Supervisor, the artillery brothers only need to open the city gate, and everything will be cleaned up by your own brothers. Open the city gate quickly!"

Before Chen Wanrong could speak, Ge Shuhan spoke: "General Cheng, don't think about the good things. Once we open the city gate, you rush in. We can only watch the show. This kind of loss-making business cannot be done!"

Fei Junxing rubbed his hands and retorted: "General Geshu, this is a war, not a business. Don't miss the military opportunity! Blast the city gate!"

Chen Wanrong smiled and said, "Brothers: Don't listen to them. Fight me where there are many people! Fight where there are many people! Don't be ruthless! It's best to kill them all!"

Guo Qianguan hurriedly stopped him: "Military supervisor, this is not something that can be done!"

"What's the point of doing or not?" Chen Wanrong disagreed with his statement: "Master, you have to think about it. After the brothers suffered so much, their shoulders were rotten and their feet were broken. When they arrived at the city of Doma, they would shoot a few shots and blast the city gate open and let you eat meat. We can't even drink some soup. This is unfair! At least we must be worthy of our feet and our shoulders!"

Guo Qianguan's mouth suddenly opened wide, and he could no longer speak. He shook his hand to stop Fei Junxing who was still waiting to speak again: "Let the artillery brothers fight happily!"

Artillery is the hardest thing. If they only let them open the city gate and go to bask in the sun, it is really unreasonable. Although Cheng Tianxiao was unwilling to give up, he had to stop talking.

After hearing this, the artillery soldiers were all very energetic, and kept loading shells, and specializing in hitting places with a large number of people. One shot, there would be dozens of casualties. Round after round, continuous bombardment, dozens of bombings, countless Tubo soldiers were killed and injured, and there were screams and wails on the top of the city. Even the Tang army, who stood far away, could hear it clearly.

The enemy's pain is my greatest happiness! When the Tang army heard the screams of the Tubo soldiers, they were all excited and cheered in secret. If it weren't for the military rules, they would have praised loudly for their good fight!

In the battle of Shibao City, the artillery was just a small attempt. In less than an hour, they took Shibao City. This time, the artillery was full of energy and fought hard. After more than an hour of bombardment, a white flag was raised on the top of the city.

"The Tubo people can't stand it anymore!" Guo Qianguan was very excited: "Supervisor, please stop me!"

Geshuhan disagreed: "Master, I thought I should beat you harder at this time! As soon as the Tubo people hit the white flag, we stopped shooting. This is not bad. Master, as the Master, I saw it, I had to wait for a white flag on the top of the city, and it would not be too late to stop until then."

After such a fierce bombing, the Tubo people were already scared, and it was no point in fighting. Guo Qianguan laughed and said, "General Geshu, I know you have a breath and want to trouble the Tubo people. On the battlefield, you can't act irritably. When the war reaches this level, we will take down the city of Doma without a single soldier. It has created a miracle. It is no longer interesting to fight again!"

Wang Zhongsi suddenly spoke: "Master, General Ge Shu is a good technique to attack the heart!"

"The art of attacking the heart? Where do you start?" Guo Qianguan was a little puzzled.

Wang Zhongsi explained to him: "Master, please think that it would be meaningless if we accept the surrender of Tubo now. If we continue to bomb and let the city be covered with white flags, it means that the Tubo people are already full of courage! At that time, we will accept their surrender. After they surrender, we will tell them that the Tang Dynasty had dozens of powerful weapons, and now they are just one of them. Let them let them tell the Tubo people, Da Zheng, what kind of consequences will they be?

"Take off your energy before fighting! A great plan for military strategists!"

Until now, although the Tang army has been in power and annihilated tens of thousands of enemies, Tubo has sufficient strategic depth. The Tang army has only achieved the sudden results of the war and has not yet encountered the main force of Tubo.

To advance to the city of Luoshe, you must encounter the main force of Tubo, and you must fight the Tubo people to take the savage before the battle. That is the best state of strategy, and you don’t need to think about the benefits.

If you want to take your anger, you have to make the enemy scared. If you want to make the Tubo people scared, you have to make them bleed. Only when they shed enough blood will they be afraid!

Guo Qianguan suddenly realized and clasped his fists at Brother Shuhan and Wang Zhongsi: "Thank you for your reminder, Guo is ashamed!"

Cheng Xiaotian stroked Wang Zhongsi's little head and laughed: "Wang Zhongsi, you little genius!"

"Yes! What a genius. He can see through things that even those of us who crawled through the dead can't understand at a glance! Great!" Although Fei Junxing slapped Wang Zhongsi in the face, he became more and more convinced by Wang Zhongsi's talent, and he was very excited to say this.

The big plan was certain, and the cannons were bombarded endlessly. After the Tubo people suffered a loss, they finally had some solutions, that is, to disperse and no longer stand in a concentrated manner. This was not difficult for Chen Wanrong to divide the cannons into a small team, with a total of seven teams, moving around the city of Doma, and they would fight wherever there were many people.
Chapter completed!
