"Wei Zheng, let me ask you, I am the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and now my border is being invaded. Not only can I not send troops to attack, but I also have to send the princess there, and I also want to see the face of Tubo? Am I a beggar kneeling down begging for food?"
Suddenly, Li Shimin roared and stood up directly.
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
Wei Zheng immediately knelt down and lowered his head.
Although Li Shimin had avoided Wei Zheng when Wei Zheng had made many admonitions before, it was Li Shimin who opened his mouth. But now that Li Shimin is angry, few people can resist his momentum. After all, he came out of the mountain of corpses and the sea of ??blood.
Perhaps because of the political tranquility in recent years, many people have forgotten Li Shimin¡¯s murderous side.
In the main hall, the other officials did not dare to say a word.
"snort."
Li Shimin snorted coldly: "Tubo actually dares to attack Tuyuhun. Then I want him to die. Where is Hou Junji?"
"I'm here!"
Hou Junji immediately came out.
"I order you to be the general manager of Midao March!"
"I accept your orders!"
Cheng Yaojin¡¯s eyes widened, why was it that the marching general manager was given to Hou Junji, and why didn¡¯t he take care of Lao Cheng?
But Li Shimin continued to look solemn: "Where is the power of thinking?"
"I'm here!"
A man who clearly looked like a Turk came out of the queue with his fists clasped and his head lowered.
This man's name was Zhi Shi Si Li, and he was the chief of the Zhi Shi tribe of the Eastern Turks. After the fall of the Eastern Turks, he returned to the Tang Dynasty and served as the general of the left army. Although there is no biography of him in the Old and New Tang Books, there are many records about him. She was also the first foreigner to marry a princess. Princess Jiujiang, the sister of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was his wife. She was also the Prince Consort and the Duke of An Guo.
"I order you to be the Marshal of Brandao's march!"
"yes!"
"Where is Niu Jinda?"
"I'm here!"
Another general came out.
"I order you to be the general manager of Kuoshui Road March!"
"yes!"
"Where is Liu Lan?"
"I'm here!"
"I order you to be the commander-in-chief of the Taohe Road March!"
"yes!"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "The four of you, with a total of 50,000 infantry and cavalry, if you haven't defeated the Tubo this time, come and see us!"
"yes!"
Hou Junji and others responded immediately!
Soon, Hou Junji and others went out with the tiger talisman, preparing to summon the army, and if it was necessary to recruit civilians, they would send the food to the west first. This is the reason why the soldiers and horses are not moving, so the food and grass go first.
This time, Li Shimin also got angry and wanted to fight Tubo!
Originally, Li Shimin had no intention of sending heavy troops there, but Tubo's attack on Songzhou City this time was an obvious signal that what Tubo said before was bullshit!
"Whatever it is for the princess is purely for Tubo's own strength.
¡¡
On this side, a few days have passed.
At the top of Songzhou City, several generals were taking command.
"Fire the arrow! Fire the arrow quickly!"
The soldiers hiding behind the walls stood up immediately and shot out the arrows!
Poof!
The arrows from below were also shot directly, hitting the wall stacks, and some arrows flew directly over the head.
A soldier was unlucky and was shot directly in the neck and fell down on the spot.
But no one paid attention to him, and more soldiers came to fill in.
"Where's the rolling log! Get the rolling log quickly!"
The soldiers behind were busy delivering supplies. One soldier took a rolling log and threw it down!
Under Songzhou City, many Tubo soldiers were still frantically attacking the city, but their siege equipment was very crude, just the simplest ladders.
The Tibetan siege has lasted for two days. The attack was very exaggerated and resulted in many casualties. Even this morning, the Tibetan soldiers almost boarded the city.
"Where are the weapons and equipment that Chang'an sent before? Use them quickly!"
Some soldiers came to the bed bow and crossbow, and several soldiers worked together to turn the turntable. The next moment, the tight bed bow and crossbow directly shot out more than twenty arrows and knives from it!
A group of Tibetan soldiers in front fell down on the spot.
The siege of Songzhou City was in full swing. In the Tubo camp, Songtsen Gampo narrowed his eyes.
"King, this Songzhou City is too difficult to attack and cannot be defeated at all."
A general came and looked at him?Full of anxiety.
The cities built by the people of the Tang Dynasty were too tall, and Songzhou City was simply a difficult bone to chew off.
Songtsen Gampo did not expect that Songzhou City would be so difficult to defeat, but he was not willing to give up just like that. Songzhou City was a city on an important transportation route, and it was now isolated and without reinforcements. The general was also If you catch it yourself, if you miss this village, you won't have this shop. This is the best opportunity to attack.
But Songzhou City only had a few thousand people, or even less than 5,000 people, and they defended it forcefully. The corpses of Tibetan soldiers were piled on the ground in front.
The casualty ratio in this siege was even more than fifty to one. Fifty Tibetan soldiers died, while only one Songzhou City soldier died. This was a complete waste of lives.
After just thinking for a while, Songtsen Gampo shouted: "Continue to attack the city, even if it costs 10,000 people, we will capture Songzhou City!"
"yes!"
The general went out, and Songtsen Gampo also had a gloomy face, and immediately called the letter officer.
"I read it, you write it."
"Your Majesty the Tang Dynasty, all I want is a princess. If you are not allowed to marry a princess, I will personally raise 50,000 soldiers to seize the Tang Kingdom, kill you, and seize the princess!"
Soon, the letter was written. This was Songtsen Gampo's most harsh letter. Whether it was marrying the princess or conquering Songzhou City, he would not lose anything. If the Tang Dynasty really sent the princess, he would immediately retreat.
If the Tang Dynasty does not send the princess, he will attack Songzhou City. If the Tang Dynasty sends troops, he would also like to have a chance with the Tang army to see how strong the Tang army is.
As Tubo increased the intensity of its attack, people were attacking on all four walls. In an instant, the pressure on Songzhou City increased.
Even after several waves of attacks, the Tubo soldiers approached the city from the ladders and killed the soldiers on the city. If the soldiers from behind hadn't made up for it, the Tibetan soldiers might have boarded the city.
This is also a discrepancy with history. After all, Han Wei was not captured alive in history.
The siege continued, and the fighting continued until the afternoon. The corpses of the Tibetan soldiers on the ground were piled into a hill, but the Tibetans were still attacking.
Many Tang troops also fell at the top of the city, which was extremely tragic.
And at this moment, a soldier ran over in panic.
"General, the Tibetan soldiers on the west wall have climbed to the top of the city!"
"What?!"
The general was startled and immediately drew out his sword: "Follow me! If you stay in the city, you will die if you die!"
Some soldiers behind him also followed the generals and rushed over directly.
But all the soldiers have tragic emotions in their hearts. They may not survive today.
Songtsen Gampo even stood at the front line, watching the situation. When he received the soldiers coming to report the battle situation, and learned that his soldiers had climbed to the top of the city, he couldn't help laughing.
"Okay! Send the order, if Songzhou City is captured, everyone can plunder for two days."
"yes!"
The soldier was even more excited.
Two days of free plundering means that anything you rob is yours, including livestock, treasures, and women.
And Songtsen Gampo finally had a smile on his face: "This time, Songzhou City is mine!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
