Mohist Tang

Under Gaochang City, looking at the city wall of Pingchuan, all Gaochang soldiers looked embarrassed. Without the barrier of trenches, there is only a city wall between Gaochang and Tang Army. Up.

Gaochang’s morale is at a low point. The defensive advantage that originally belonged to Gaochang City has been slightly overwhelmed by the Tang Army. The city wall alone does not pay attention to guaranteeing the safety of Gaochang City.

For a while, Gaochang City slowly began to feel anxious. Everyone understood that Gaochang City was probably in danger. As for how much time is left, it depends on when the Tang Army launched an attack.

“Reporting to the king, Tang Army has filled the trenches in front of major city gates, and Gaochang City is at stake!” A Gaochang general hurried to report.

“You and others are all trash, watching the Tang Army fill the trenches.” Qu Zhisheng was angry and cursed.

A group of Gaochang generals could not help but show shame on their faces and bowed their heads: “The ministers are incompetent!”

Tang Army is monitored by hot air balloons and protected by trebuchets. Gaochang’s defenders There is no way to stop any action of Tang Army.

“What does the West Turkic eat? Why don’t you have enough reinforcements?” Qu Zhisheng frantically said. In his opinion, the West Turkic are all cavalry. If you want to send troops, I’m afraid they will arrive long ago.

“Hui Dawang, now the grasslands are busy in the spring, I am afraid that there are not many people available at all, and General He Lu is also restrained by Qibi Heli, and cannot rescue Gaochang City at all.” General Gaochang helplessly said.

Qu Zhisheng could not help sitting on the throne, Great Tang was already determined to destroy Gaochang, but West Turkic did not have the courage to rescue Gaochang with the power of the country. As a result, Gaochang fell into Embarrassing situation.

“Report! Great Tang once again sent a letter of surrender!” The envoy Gao Chang came to report with a solemn expression.

“Call to surrender?” At this time, Gao Chang’s group of ministers moved in his heart. Now Gaochang City is facing a desperate situation, and Gao Chang’s group of ministers are less resistant to surrender.

Seeing the performance of the officials, Qu Zhisheng couldnt help but flicked, and waved: “Read!”

“Tang Army said that if the king surrenders out of the city, Great Tangs conditions are not Change, otherwise the army will attack the city, and Gao Chang will be at his own risk.” Gao Chang’s envoy read the book about the recruitment and surrender in a concise and concise statement.

“take responsibility for the consequences? Great Tang bully intolerably.” Qu Zhisheng angrily roared.

“Think twice!” Envoy Gao Chang quickly persuaded. Now Gaochang City is on the verge of danger, the defensive weapons are completely destroyed, the trenches are filled, only a city wall is left to protect, no! Now even the city wall cannot protect Gaochang City. The Tang Armys hot air balloon can be set on fire unscrupulously over Gaochang City. If everyone in Gaochang City had filled the tank with water, Gaochang City would have burned to ashes.

“No, I believe that West Turkic will come to the rescue. His lips are dead and his teeth are cold. I believe Yukuk Shad will not know this truth. Once Gaochang falls into the hands of Great Tang, the next target of Great Tang is West Turkic.” Qu Zhisheng is stubborn.

“But what if Gaochang insists that West Turkic can’t come to help?” Gaochang envoy brace oneself asked all the things he didn’t want to say.

“Then burn both jade and stone, even if Gaochang City is destroyed, the Tang Army will feel the pain.” Qu Zhisheng angrily roared.

Qu Wentai would rather die on the throne than bow to the Tang Army, and Qu Zhisheng would not want to lose the throne that he had just acquired. No one wants to lose the power in his hands until the last moment.

“Return to the general! Qu Zhisheng once again rejected the general’s kindness.” In the Tang Army camp, Xin Liao’er bowed his hand to Hou Junji reports.

“It is simply impossible to tell good from bad! Gaochang City only has a city wall left, and it is doomed to fall. This General has already forgotten Qu Zhisheng’s previous resistance, and they still don’t appreciate it.” Hou Junji frowns saying.

“Should we not use hot air balloons to carry explosives, blow up all the Gaochang Palace, and scare Qu Zhisheng’s gall.” Niu Jinda said loudly.

Xue Wanjun waved his hand and said: “There is no point in blowing up the Gaochang Palace. In the end, it is better to blow up all the granaries in Gaochang City and lose the grain and grass. Watch Gaochang City surrender and not surrender.”

Hou Junji’s heart moved, but he shook the head and said: “No, Firearms Squad can blast the Gaochang City wall soon, and Gaochang City will fall sooner or later. If you blow up the grain grass and the palace in advance, Tang Army will be required Its aftermath.”

If Great Tang captures Gaochang City, but Gaochang City does not have food and grass, the Tang Army may still be responsible for so many Gaochang peoples ration issues, and it is also not conducive to Tang Armys next plan. After all, there are Western Turkic who are glare like a tiger watching his prey. How long this battle will take is uncertain. Tang Army needs the food of Gaochang City.

“Anyway, there is only one city wall left in Gaochang City. It will definitely be no match for our army. The final commander will attack Gaochang City in one fell swoop.” Xin Liao’er confidently said.

Dont look at Gaochang Citys strength, but it has been completely suppressed by Great Tang and lost its defense weapon, just like the toothless Old Hu, plus the cover of Gunpowder, its like a field city, Tang If the Army does not count the casualties, the chance of capturing Gaochang City is high.

“No, as a result, our army will definitely suffer heavy casualties.” Hou Junji vetoed it again.

If it were before, the weak Gaochang City Hou Junji would certainly not be let go, but the Firearms Squad Gunpowder is about to break the city. Tang Army has no need to sacrifice so many soldiers. Not to mention that the Tang Armys key defensive target is the West Turkic. If the Tang Army suffers too much casualties, it may be taken advantage of by the West Turkic.

All Tang generals frowned. They wanted to take over Gaochang City in their entirety. The best result was naturally to make Gaochang surrender. However, everyone knew that Gaochang City would fall sooner or later, and Qu Zhisheng was still putting up. a desperate struggle.

At the moment, the Tang Army wants to reduce losses, and there is only one way, and that is Firearms Squad to blast the Gaochang City wall, but this will take time.

“Time? Isn’t it about digging tunnels? I’m waiting for hundreds of thousands. Some of the army are craftsmen. I wait to work day and night, and I don’t believe that tunneling is impossible.” Niu Jinda said with a grumpy temper.

Hou Junji moved towards Mo Dun and asked: “If you mobilize manpower and work day and night, how long will it take to get through the tunnel.”

Anyway, Gunpowder is already ready. Now, you only need to get through the tunnel, and the last thing Tang Army lacks is manpower.

Mo Dun seriously said: “If you have sufficient craftsmen and manpower, and if you travel day and night, you can dig the tunnel under Gaochang City in up to three days.”

“Three days !”

Hou Junji couldnt help but eyes shined. In three days, Tang Army could still afford to wait. He said loudly at the moment: Okay, as you said, three days will be three days, three days later , This General wants to see Chancellor Mos promise.”

Mo Dun solemnly stood up and bowed and said: “After three days, if Gaochang City cannot be broken, the end general is willing to lead the order.”

“Okay!” Hou Junji slap the table and stand up said: “In this case, if Gaochang does not surrender in three days, he will blow up the Gaochang City wall.”

Soon, Tang Army stopped All actions directed at Gaochang City, even the hot air balloon flying in the sky was lowered, and the two armies on both sides of the war fell into a strange calm.

But everyone knows that this is just the silence before the rainstorm.
