It took six days for an army of 30 to attack a small town, which cast a shadow over his plan.
If Shule is like this, what about the more powerful Kucha?
It is the base camp of the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion, and the main force of the Tang army is also there. It is not easy to capture it.
In history, Tubo besieged Anxi Dufu Mansion for decades, and the defenders changed from young to old before breaking the city.
Naturally, the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion at this moment cannot be compared with the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion in history, and the strength gap is too great.
But a Shule city still caused the Tubo people to be beaten and bloody.
"Very powerful Tang Jun."
Lu Dongzan must praise the defenders.
"Go up!"
A team of fierce soldiers rushed forward.
The city is bloody and rainy.
"Follow up, regardless of casualties, we must break through the city today!"
Lu Dongzan said calmly.
In his eyes, those corpses are just numbers.
Casualties do not matter, the important thing is to achieve strategic goals.
As long as Anxi is taken down, Tubo will win the strategic initiative.
"Up again."
The Tubo people had already stabilized a piece of land at the top of the city, and the follow-up reinforcements rushed up continuously.
"Get ready to enter the city."
Wang Chunyang knew that there was nothing to be done, "We must stick to the city and make it difficult for the enemy to move."
This is street fighting.
A general hissed and asked, "Captain, where is the gunpowder?"
"It's long gone." Wang Chunyang said bitterly.
It's not that he doesn't want to mobilize gunpowder, but that the gunpowder is gone.
Facing the attack of an army of 30, the gunpowder packs that he once thought were huge were exhausted in a day and a half.
When the enemy doesn't care about casualties, these means can only slow down the speed of the enemy breaking through the city.
But he couldn't say it earlier, because it would affect the morale of the army.
Thinking of Han Zong who died tragically in battle, Wang Chunyang gritted his teeth and said, "Wait for me below!"
In the middle army, Lu Dongzan nodded slightly, "After breaking through the city, quickly wipe out the defenders. There are not many wooden houses in the city, so it is not easy to set fire, and you can strangle them from all sides."
"Yes!"
Lu Dongzan turned his gaze to the east, "The army is ready to go, divide into two groups, and attack Khotan along the way, and the main force will follow me to attack Qiuci and Yanqi."
Order issued.
Ranger out.
They passed slowly under the city, raised their heads, and looked proudly at the retreating defenders at the top of the city.
This is a powerful and confident Tubo!
"We are invincible!"
The morale of the army rose.
The ranger began to accelerate.
They will meet up with the rangers in front of them, and go all the way to Kucha.
It's a long way.
"Our people are back."
There are cheers ahead.
"This is the scout to investigate."
As soon as the army arrived in Shule, Lu Dongzan sent out scouts to block the road from Kucha to Shule, trying to delay the time for the Anxi Protectorate to get the news as much as possible.
More than a hundred riders are galloping crazily.
The ride stops.
Someone asked in amazement, "Why is it so fast?"
Yes!
Those scouts seemed to be running for their lives.
They spotted the army, waving wildly.
"What does that mean?"
A black line appeared in the sky.
The sound of horseshoes came gradually.
Ranger looked up in astonishment.
Both sides, who were fighting fiercely at the head of the city, slowed down.
Countless cavalry are coming from the east!
The ranger screamed: "It's the enemy!"
The Tubo people who were besieging the city, especially those who turned their backs on the cavalry, all turned their heads.
"It's Tang Jun!"
Ten thousand Turkic servants are attacking.
