Although the Tubo people were more ruthless than the Western Turks, the enemies they faced were different, and the cities they faced were also different.
What Tubo attacked was Yumen Pass. After so many years of attacking, repairing, attacking again, and repairing again, Yumen Pass has become stronger and taller.
Of course, it is also related to the geographical location. Yumen Pass is like a natural chasm in the middle of the road leading to Guanzhong. If you want to enter the pass, you must go there. It is impossible to detour.
It's easy for the soldiers, but the baggage can't. Besides, there are windy sands and mountainous areas on both sides, so there are a lot of roads to go around.
Behind the Tubo army, Meng Tu, who had successfully usurped the throne, was supervising the battle. He was recommended by the big landowners and gentry, but he still wanted to prove that his ability was not weaker than Lu Dongzan.
If he can capture Yumen Pass, it will prove that he is stronger than Lu Dongzan, and the name of the Prime Minister is nothing more than that!
At that time, the big landowners and gentry will have an excuse to oust Lu Dongzan. Although his family is not weak, facing the general trend of Tubo, his family may be driven out of Tubo. The only way That is to expel Ludongzan.
Thinking of good things, Mengtu felt that his future was bright.
Yesterday, he did not participate in the battle ahead, but was in the military camp, so he did not know much about the process of yesterday's battle.
But in Meng Tu's view, yesterday's failure must have been caused by Lu Dongzan's improper command.
Of course, he had also heard that the Tang Army had a very powerful weapon that could kill people, but he would not believe it if he had never seen it.
Instinctively, Montu felt that this was just the soldiers at the front trying to excuse themselves from their responsibilities.
The army rushed towards Yumen Pass one after another. After Meng Tu's reorganization and promises, the morale of the army was once again high.
They all rushed forward risklessly. According to what Meng Tu said, as long as they capture Yumen Pass, their good days will come. When the time comes, their wealth and beauty will be theirs!
Looking at the approaching Tubo soldiers, Luo Zhang had no expression on his face. A group of soldiers were also waiting for his order.
Yesterday's turnaround made everyone convinced!
"The crossbowmen are ready, assemble the wooden knots, and shoot for me!" Luo Zhang gave the first order to the messenger on the side.
The ordering soldiers dispersed and ran towards both sides of Yumen Pass to convey the order.
Soon, a famous crossbowman received instructions to install wooden knots on the arrows.
Although the distance of the arrows shot in this way will be greatly reduced, the power is different. One arrow can only kill one person, while an arrow equipped with wooden knots can kill a whole group.
Under the shouts of the captain, the ignited wooden knots were shot into the oncoming Tubo people.
"Boom boom boom!"
Explosions were heard one after another, and the people outside Yumen Pass were wailing. Countless people were killed and injured!
But more Tubo people ignored this and continued to rush towards Yumen Pass!
Immediately afterwards, the second round of wooden lumps was shot out, killing and wounding more Tibetan people.
But the number of casualties was nothing compared to the 200,000 Tubo army.
The surviving Tibetans continued to attack regardless of the orders of the Tibetan nobles supervising the battle from behind.
Behind, Meng Tu listened to the constant explosions outside Yumen Pass. He was a little frightened at first. This Tang Army was indeed powerful and could actually possess the power of a god.
But the power of this god seems to be just that, not very powerful!
If that was all, he would have decided on the Yumen Pass!
Thinking of this, Meng Tu smiled slightly and gave the order to attack again. Whoever attacks the city wall first will be rewarded with ten cows! Fifty sheep! Even if you are a slave, you can be released from it, and you will still have a lot of things!
This order made the Tubo people even more crazy. They didn't care about the dead people around them, and their eyes were all red.
You must know that the slave status is a shackles on them. If the slave status can be lifted, they are the real people of Tubo and can have their own fields and pastures.
Not to mention the rewards of ten cows and fifty sheep.
Even the middle class in Tubo only has so many possessions, which means whoever climbs the city wall first will be a member of the middle class!
You must know that they are all slaves. To become the middle class is to climb several steps in one step.
No, it’s one step to reach the sky. For them, it’s one step to reach the sky!
