Prosperous Tang Soul

Chapter 477 Battle at the City Gate
The attack of the [-] Tubo troops is like a tiger. If the Tang army does not retreat, it will definitely be torn apart by the Tubo people who are already full of anger.

So as soon as the Tubo people moved, Tang Jun immediately retreated into Qingtang City like a tide.

You are strong and you are strong, and I will not confront you head-on. When your momentum is about to disappear, what awaits you is the high and deep city wall and all kinds of crossbow bolts on the city wall.

Tang Jun's intentions can also be seen by the Tubo generals, but at this time these Tubo soldiers are crazy, it is impossible to stop him, and it is not a good thing to stop him now.

It's better to take advantage of this time when morale is like a rainbow, and you can attack Qingtang City. If you are lucky, you may be able to rush in.

Even if Qingtang City cannot be captured, this battle can still bring psychological pressure to Tang Jun.

It can be said that if they maintain this momentum, Tang Jun will definitely be afraid of them in the future, and he will not even dare to fight against them.

Thinking of this, General Tubo immediately drew his sword: "My brave warriors, charge, use your bravest speed and burly body to bring destruction to these Tang Dynasty people!"

The Tubo general pointed his saber in the direction of Qingtang City, and then led his guards and rushed towards Qingtang City with a group of Tubo cavalry.

If they can be faster, they may be able to bite the tail of the retreating Tang army. After all, there is only one gate in Qingtang City, and it is impossible for so many people to rush in at the same time. Faced with a difficult choice.

Should he abandon his comrades-in-arms and close the city gate, and then treat his comrades and the Tubo soldiers below and shoot them together, or choose to let the Tubo people follow their comrades into Qingtang City.

This kind of question has been a difficult problem since ancient times. It is not only related to the victory or defeat on the battlefield, but also has moral issues in it, so it is extremely difficult to make a decision.

Just like in the past, there were often some people who, because they couldn't capture a certain city, arrested some people around them to use them as a human wall to cover their attack on the city.

Such a method will make the defending army very uncomfortable.

If they attack, they will definitely hurt their own people. I feel sorry in my heart, so don't attack. Well, the enemy will follow behind my own people and kill them.

But now, Tang Jun in Qingtang City is facing such a problem.

Not only did the soldiers on the city wall not think about this problem, even Wang Zhe and others didn't think about it.

It was really because the speed of the Tubo cavalry was so fast that they were already behind their buttocks when tens of thousands of them lined up to enter the city.

"Mobilize all archers and ballistas, and we must minimize losses!"

Originally, they deliberately arranged this way, letting the Tubo cavalry rush into Qingtang City after the army they withdrew into the city, so that those soldiers could just lure the Tubo army into the trap.

But according to the current situation, they still have to fight the Tubo people at the city gate until the Tang army blocking the city gate is wiped out, and the Tubo people can enter the city before they can continue to implement the next plan.

In this case, Tang Jun would have to pay extra losses. Wang Zhe didn't want to bear such a loss. He wanted to bring every soldier back safely and intact.

So he had no choice but to move all the archers, crossbowmen and crossbowmen who were ambushing at the predetermined location to the city wall.

First use a wave of arrow rain to kill the arrogance of those Tubo people, wait until all your soldiers have entered the city, and then let these archers go back to ambush again.

Although the time is tight and I don't know if I can make it in time, but now Wang Zhe can only do this.

Numerous archers and crossbowmen rushed from the city to the city wall, and after rushing to the city wall, the archers almost didn't need to aim, they only needed to draw their bows to the full and shoot out.

Now there are Tubo soldiers all over the mountains and plains outside the city, 10 people, think about the concept, it is not an exaggeration to use the word "mountains and plains".

They don't need any accuracy at all, they just need to shoot where there are many, and they will definitely be able to kill some Tubo soldiers.

But at this time, Wang Zhe asked everyone to attack the Tubo soldiers who rushed to the front. No matter what, they couldn't let them bite the tail of their own troops.

After receiving the order, the archers directly drew their bows and arrows, and then fired at the Tubo cavalry rushing to the front.

Countless arrows fell like raindrops, instantly killing the hundreds of Tubo cavalry rushing to the front.

Tang Jun's fierce arrows made the Tubo cavalry slammed, and the horses under their feet neighed, and some dared not continue to charge.

There is no way, the hundreds of cavalry who rushed up in front are now shot into a sieve, and they continue to rush over, that is still the same fate.

"Come on, rush into Qingtang City with them, as long as we can reach Qingtang City, we will basically win this battle."

The cavalry in front stopped, but the Tubo generals behind did not intend to stop, but continued to urge the cavalry to charge.

Some generals even accelerated their horses towards Qingtang City in order to motivate the soldiers.

With the leadership of the generals, the Tubo cavalry naturally stopped hesitating, but rushed forward with the generals.

The Tubo cavalry who had paused for less than ten seconds began to charge violently again.

But what awaited them was Tang Jun's fierce arrows like rain.

Countless Tubo cavalry fell, and countless Tubo cavalry rushed up.

The Tubo cavalry charged forward one after another, and the Tang army's archers and crossbowmen on the city wall were not idle, let alone the Tang army at the city gate.

In the end, Tang Jun returned to Qingtang City before the Tubo cavalry bit his ass.

"The archers continued to stay on the city wall, and the crossbowmen took the ballista back to the original arrangement to deploy defenses."

After Tang Jun returned to Qingtang City, Wang Zhe immediately ordered the crossbowmen to take the ballista to continue to the originally arranged ambush location to guard.

The archers and some Tang soldiers still had to stand firm on the city wall, and they had to wait until the crossbowmen were in ambush before they could retreat.

Once the crossbowmen and crossbow carts were withdrawn, the pressure on the Tubo army was much reduced. Some Tubo cavalry even rushed into Qingtang City before the city gate was completely closed.

And those Tubo cavalry who rushed into Qingtang City did not continue to charge deeply, but kept attacking the counterattacking Tang army at the city gate, making it impossible for the Tang army to close the city gate.

In this way, they will be able to allow the follow-up Tubo cavalry to rush into Qingtang City continuously.

As long as a large number of Tubo cavalry can rush into Qingtang City, they will definitely win this battle!
