Chapter 1137 Ferocious firepower
"This is Sa City, it's such a beautiful city."
The Ashur tribe was in panic due to the arrival of the Dasong army.
Mahan and Dianzhang came outside Sa City.
Since setting off on Songyang Pass, they have headed west.
As the altitude grew higher, they gradually felt that the air became thinner and the temperature continued to drop.
At this time, the value of their long-term plateau training was reflected.
Except for the marching slowed down slightly, they were not affected by anything else.
However, for them, the reduction in the speed of the march would not affect their operation.
Because the Tubo Plateau is too desolate, it can be said that it is uninhabited for thousands of miles.
Ashur's tribe could not have any other places to go except hiding in Sa City.
This is also the reason why they did not let the lancers go first, but the infantry and cavalry advanced towards Sa City together.
The infantry were holding supplies and food.
"This city will belong to the Great Song soon." Dian Zhang looked at Sa City and narrowed his eyes.
At this time, people's heads could be vaguely shaking on the walls of Sacheng.
Apparently, as they expected, Ashur was ready to defend Sa City.
Of course, they were not worried that Ashur would lead his troops to escape.
Before setting off, they ordered the White Tiger Army generals on the northern grassland to set them down the line of India.
Once the traces of the Ashur tribe were found, they were immediately wiped out.
As for the direction of Tianzhu, after the king of the Tuguo Kingdom was loyal to Dasong, Guan Tong ordered them to keep an eye on the road between Tubo and Tianzhu.
Going further west, it is the territory of Chen Hu’s Western Region Protectorate.
Anyway, Ashur is now a turtle in the jar, and they will be able to eat it this time.
"Prepare to attack the city." Mahan couldn't wait.
The weather in Dasong is now late in autumn, and the Tubo Plateau is as cold as winter.
They don't want to continue to freeze in the wild.
"Yes, general." Dian Zhang shouted, spitting out white steam.
Passing the order down, 18,000 infantry soldiers immediately surrounded Sa City.
The artillery also aimed the artillery at the city wall.
For this war, they allocated thirty-six rifled guns and seventy-two howitzers.
He even carried one hundred and eight machine guns.
In order to use powerful firepower to destroy the resistance will of the Ashur tribe.
Everything was ready, and at the command of Mahan, the artillery began to bombard Sa City.
The shells roared across the sky and landed on the city wall. Huge flames suddenly bloomed on the gray-white city wall.
At this time, Ma Han and Dian Zhang observed the city wall.
Once the opponent's smoothbore gun was found to counterattack, the artillery was ordered to destroy it.
"Ashuer is really at the end of his strength. He doesn't even have a few smoothbore cannons that fire solid bullets." Another smoothbore cannon on the city wall was silent, and Dian Zhang sneered.
"Of course, in the Battle of Yongzhou, Ashuer almost lost all his money. Now most of the army is forced to recruit Tubo people. There are not many real Beidi soldiers. As for muskets and artillery, Britain itself does not have many, so it is impossible for him to support him." Ma Han said in a deep thought.
Dian Zhang nodded, "This war seems to be easier than we thought."
While the two were talking about the battlefield situation, the cannons on the city walls of Sacheng were all silent.
In one hour, I couldn't fight back, so I could only be shot in vain.
Seeing this, Mahan asked the machine gun team to suppress the soldiers of Ashur's troops on the city walls with its firepower.
At the same time, the infantry was ordered to prepare ladders and prepare to attack the city.
"Dadada..."
Soon, the sound of machine guns fired at the city walls on all sides.
The machine gunner stared at the city wall. As long as the soldiers of the Ashur team showed their heads, they would shoot violently, making them unable to raise their heads.
Taking advantage of the enemy being suppressed by machine guns, the infantry launched a charge under the charge.
Carrying a cloud ladder approached the city wall of Sacheng.
"kill……"
There were sounds of killing outside the city, and the generals and soldiers from the Ashur tribe in the city were completely panicked.
Most of these soldiers were recruited from the young and strong Tubo after the defeat of Ashuer Yongzhou, and were all new recruits.
They have never been to the battlefield, they have seen blood.
Furthermore, Tubo is a very closed place.
When Ashur conquered Tubo, the serf system was still here.
Most Tubo people have never seen guns and cannons in their lives.
It is precisely because of this that Ashuer used his guns and cannons to easily take away Tubo.
But now, compared with the muskets and cannons of the Dasong army outside the city, they are simply from the sky and from the underground.
The bombs that could explode scared their souls.
After throwing a corpse of war on the city wall, the new recruits composed of Tubo people were no longer willing to climb the city.
"King, the muskets and cannons of the Da Song army are so powerful. If you go to the city wall, you will die."
The Dasong soldiers outside the city were about to capture the city wall, but the soldiers in the city refused to climb onto the city wall to defend. A wolf record was urgent and helpless.
"What do you do with your waists for?" Ashur was sitting on the street in the center of Sa City at this time.
The generals from four directions reported the battle report to him from time to time.
And everything that brought him to him was unfavorable news.
"King, it's just that now is different from the past. Soon after we recovered the Tubo people, the Tubo people may not be convinced by us. If we forcefully supervise the war, we will be afraid of chaos." Lang Lu heard this and did not do as Ashur's words, but refuted.
They dared to supervise the Beidi people and their servants because they knew that if they were not at the limit, these people would not resist.
"Swish!" As soon as Lang Li finished speaking, Ashur suddenly stood up and pulled out the scimitar from his waist.
A knife flashed, Langlu covered his neck, his eyes showed an incredible look, and he slowly fell down.
The nearby Beidi generals were all scared and looked deserted.
Ashur's face was normal and he said slowly, "Who has any questions?"
"No." The generals looked at each other and turned around and left.
Soon, they led the Beidi soldiers to appear behind the Tubo soldiers and lit up their butcher's knife.
"Bang bang bang..."
When the Northern Di urged Tubo soldiers to climb the city, Dasong soldiers had already climbed onto the city wall.
After occupying the city wall, they immediately descended from a high place and shot at the city.
The machine gun team also transferred the machine gun to the city wall and kept firing Ashur's soldiers within a distance.
The appearance of Dasong soldiers made the Tubo soldiers even more scared.
They fled back one after another, but turned around and found that the supervisory team kept slashing the retreating soldiers.
After just hesitating for a moment, they chose to kill the Beidi Supervisor Team.
Because under the strafing of muskets of the Da Song army, their companions died at an astonishing speed.
In comparison, the scimitar in the hands of the supervisor team does not seem to be terrible.
When many Tubo soldiers thought so, the Beidi Supervisor team was immediately killed by a large number of Tubo soldiers.
A soldier from the Supervisor Team died under the knife of a desperate Tubo soldier.
The resistance of the Tubo soldiers immediately severely damaged the remaining Beidi generals and soldiers.
Without the suppression of the Beidi people, the Tubo soldiers no longer wanted to continue fighting with the Dasong soldiers.
Moreover, killing the Beidi people also lost their leaders, like a pile of sand.
In order to survive, they threw down their muskets and swords in their hands and surrendered to the Dasong soldiers.
The battle begins quickly and ends quickly.
In just half a day, the White Tiger Army captured Sa City.
