Before time knew it, six days passed.

These days, the chief guard of Lhasa City, Tulubaihu, has been patrolling closely at the inner city, but what surprised him was that the rebels had been very quiet these days and had no siege at all.

Tulubaihu originally thought that the rebels who suffered heavy losses would probably be angry and start to attack the city after dawn the next day, but unexpectedly, after six days, the rebels had no movement to attack the city, and just continued to siege the inner city.

What's going on?

Did the rebels not want to attack the city, but just wanted to siege them for a long time, and to trap all their troops and horses in the inner city and die of starvation?

However, there is still food and fodder in this inner city that can last for a month, so how can this army be consumed so easily?

Besides, Lhasa has become a dead city, and southern Tibet is quite far away from this place. The longer the rebels stay here, the more difficult the logistics supply will be, and the morale will become less and less depressed. If you want to attack this well-prepared inner city, you will have to pay more and more.

Tulubaihu was a little confused for a moment. The rebels' extraordinary behavior made his keen head a little bit unsteady. However, even so, Tulubaihu still ordered the entire army to pay close attention to the rebel movements and do a good job in garrison to prevent the rebels from suddenly starting to attack the city.

It was not until the morning of the eighth day that the rumbling drums and the continuous and harsh swan horns suddenly sounded in the rebel formation.

The rebels who had been silent for seven days finally began to attack the inner city of Lhasa Fort.

Tulubaihu was surprised to see that under the urging of war drums and horn sounds, countless rebels were pushing many strange and strange objects out of the Tartar formation, surrounding the entire inner city and slowly pushing them towards the four walls.

Seeing these strange things, all the guards were full of shock.

Damn, I haven't seen each other for a few days, what did the rebels get?

As the rebel soldiers pushed closer and closer, the defenders guarding the city finally saw clearly what the strange thing pushed by the rebels looked like.

They saw that this strange thing was made by the rebels using four tiles, two ends and two tails assembled together, with a large open space in the middle to hide in it. On the tiles made of this tiles were nailed with thick wooden boards, and the wooden boards were covered with cowhide and wet quilts. The whole thing looked a bit like a car from later generations from the appearance.

"What's the point of making these things?" Everyone looked at the rebels pushing closer and closer, with a very surprised expression on their faces.

When the defenders defending the city were very surprised, after the rebel formation, the fifth generation looked proud and said to Gamu with a look of credit: "King, look, the joint car I designed is composed of four chariots in one place, which can contain more troops than a single chariot, and can better guard against the soldiers defending the city. The joint car is covered with cowhide and wet quilt. If the defenders throw lightning with their hands, they can be bounced away by the surface chariot, which greatly reduces the explosive power of the hand-throwing lightning. If the defenders shoot crossbow arrows, the defense area of ​​the joint car has expanded and because of the thick wooden boards, the crossbow arrows of the defenders cannot be shot through even at close range, so they can greatly reduce the casualties of our soldiers."

The fifth generation paused, and said with a ruthless look on his face: "As long as our army can use this joint car as a cover, attack the inner city of Lhasa Fort, then dig the bottom of the wall, fill the explosives, and use the explosives to blow the city wall down. Our army will attack again, and this inner city will not be difficult to break!"

After listening to the proud narrative of the fifth generation, Gamu's face also relaxed greatly. He nodded and said, "Fifth generation, your plan to join forces is very good. If the inner city is broken, you should remember the first merit!"

"Thank you," the fifth generation immediately bowed and replied with joy.

At this time, after seeing these joint cars getting closer and closer, Tulubaihu's face suddenly became cold.

No wonder the rebels have not been moving these days. It turns out that they have been building this thing. The rebels' actions are completely beyond their expectations.

After seeing the structure of these joint chariots and the direction of the rebels, Tulubaihu's heart immediately tightened.

With a keen mind, he thought at this moment that what the rebels would do to the inner city of Lhasa next.

Humph, these dogs and Tartars simply wanted to use this strange-shaped car to sneak to the corner of the inner city wall, and then use explosives to blow up the inner city wall, so that there will be gaps and loopholes in the inner city's garrison, allowing the rebels to take advantage of the situation, so as to lead the surface with the point and rely on their military strength to conduct a comprehensive attack on the inner city.

Such a vicious plan is very deceitful!

Sure enough, the situation that followed was not as expected by Tulubaihu. These strange-shaped things were hiding from countless rebels. You could vaguely see that the rebels were holding various excavation equipment in their hands, and they could also vaguely see that they were nailed by wooden boards, which contained harsh tinder and explosives.

Turubaihu, who has been through the battlefield for a long time, is naturally very familiar with such explosive wooden boxes.

Seeing this, Tulubaihu punched hard and hit the pile.

"The rebels who are in the dog! They want to dig out the city walls and then use explosives to blow up the inner city walls!"

Tulubaihu's loud shout made all the soldiers guarding the inner city feel shocked.

Dig up the city wall and then use explosives to blow up the city wall?

The enemy's army actually had such tricks?

Tulubaihu didn't think too much and immediately shouted loudly: "Immediately arrange military troops to target these strange things developed by the rebels to fire crossbow arrows, throw pitchers and thunder. We must prevent the rebels from approaching the base of the city wall!"

"Get orders!"

After listening to Tulubaihu's orders, the defenders at the top of the city immediately began to get busy.

The first thing to be released was the archers, who loaded arrows and aimed at the United Cars that were getting closer and closer.

"Prepare, let it go!"

With the continuous sound of bangbang, continuous arrows formed a dense network of death. Nearly 10,000 whistling feather arrows shot towards the United Cars that were strangely striking and still step by step towards the inner city walls of Lhasa.

A scene that made Tulubaihu and all the defenders very worried happened.

They saw that after these feather arrows were shot out, they were basically blocked by the United Vehicles, shooting these United Vehicles as if they were porcupines.

There were also many arrows, which were affected by wind, and the rate of fire was weakened. Even the thick layer of cowhide on the United Vehicle could not penetrate and were immediately bounced away.

Only a very few crossbow arrows were lucky enough to hit the rebels who had not been hiding under the car in time, killing about seventy or eighty rebel soldiers.

what to do?

Are you just letting the enemy soldiers come to attack the city like this?

If the inner city wall was really blown up, with the only long-range troops left in the inner city, I am afraid that it is no match for the rebels at all, and it may even be destroyed by this surging rebel army.

At this moment, Tulubaihu's mind was rotating like a high-speed motor.

However, it seemed as if in a flash that Tulubaihu suddenly thought of a plan.

At this moment, Tulubai Hudton's eyes lit up.

"Quickly organize the troops on all the city walls to burn coal, mix tinder to help the fire, and then pour down the wall. Be sure to burn all the strange cars of these rebels to me!" Tulubaihu ordered loudly.

"Get orders!"

Just as the defenders were quickly searching for coal in the inner city and began to burn, the rebels' joint car had already reached under the city wall.

Every defender could clearly hear the sound of jingling and striking under the inner city walls.

There were more than a dozen such joint carts under the four walls of the inner city of Lhasa. When they leaned against the wall, the sound of the chisel was very harsh. Each defender seemed to be able to feel the sound of the chisel as if it was hitting his heart, and the city wall under his feet was slight vibrations.

At the same time, it seemed that we could hear the rebels under the city laughing, as if the inner city had already fallen into their hands.

Seeing that the situation was so critical, Tulubaihu clenched his fists and his face turned cold as iron.

He knew that whether he could destroy these cars in time would become the key to whether he could successfully defend the inner city. Only by burning these joint cars in time could he finally successfully protect the fort wall.

In the square in the fort, there were a large number of defenders and young and strong people in the city, igniting piles of coal. After each pile of coal was burning, other soldiers were packed in large iron barrels and raised them under the four walls. Then, from the top of the wall, they mixed the burning coals with strong tinder, so that the more burning coals would pour down from the top of the city.

In order to survive the winter smoothly, there are sufficient coal reserves in the inner city of Lhasa, but now it is the key to Tulubaihu's defeat of the enemy.

Because of the long-term accumulation, there are a lot of coal blocks, so he doesn't have to worry about the insufficient amount of coal blocks. Looking around, countless defenders, like ants carrying items, ran madly between the square and the city wall, repeating the movements of loading coal and dumping.

After the burning coal blocks with strong tinder oil continued to pour down the city, Tulubaihu saw that the trick he had come up with a sudden inspiration was indeed very effective and began to have a significant effect.

These coal blocks that were overturned on the Union Cart, which were still burning violently, first quickly dried the cowhide soaked in water and the wet below, and then ignited the entire Union Cart, and the fire spread rapidly to the entire cart.

Because the fire point of the Union Car was on the top, the rebels hiding below could not put out the fire in time. They could only watch the fire grow bigger and bigger, and eventually completely burned the entire Union Car to ashes.

Soon, as the defenders kept pouring out such violently burning coal, more and more Lianquan cars began to burn and catch fire.

However, even though the joint chariot began to catch fire and the rebels underneath were afraid of military orders, no one dared to escape without permission. The rebel leaders who were escorting inside were still calling on them to continue to speed up their excavation.

These rebels were frantically digging the corners of the inner city. They almost naively hoped that before the car burned, they could dig the cave first so that they could fill the explosion box themselves.

Soon, the rebels began to understand how stupid their fantasies were.

"Boom!"

With a dull explosion, such a joint car finally completely collapsed from top to bottom, smashing most of the rebels inside into meat pies. Only a few rebels who were burning like firemen ran for a distance in an extremely terrifying form, howling for a while, and then fell to the ground and twitched to death in extreme pain until they were completely burned into a ball of coke.

Soon, four such joint vehicles were successively burned and collapsed by the abandoned coals, and the rebels inside could not escape death.

What was particularly terrifying was that after one of the United Cars was burned down, the burning flames ignited the explosion box carried by the rebels. Suddenly, the huge explosion that could almost shake the human eardrum sounded, and the entire collapsed United Cars and the rebels under the car that were flattened and burned to pieces, becoming splattered and bloody pieces.

Seeing the rebels under the city, who were thrown away by their own coal-fired tactics, the defenders on the city shouted cheers throughout the sky, and everyone's face was filled with joy.

When he saw the rebels' joint car offensive, he was suddenly frustrated. The rebel general Gamu and others who were watching the battle from a distance were all anxious.

They never expected that after defending the defenders' arrows, the defenders could still use such a primitive, but very effective method to cause a devastating blow to the combined vehicle they had worked hard to build.

However, now that the rebels are at the city, they want to make adjustments, but they are too late.

The guard next to him couldn't help it at first, and he shouted to Gamu: "King, the defenders' coal-burning vehicle tactics are really powerful. Now our army's casualties have increased significantly. If we continue to resist like this, we will only suffer more and more serious casualties. It's better to order them to return first."

After hearing this person's words, the Fifth Dalai Lama immediately objected. He said loudly with a red face: "No! King, I can't bear to leave my children and can't trap the wolf. In this siege, it is inevitable that the army will be killed or injured. If the army is withdrawn at this critical moment, our army will be wasted! Then this inner city will probably be captured at some point!"

Gamu's face was as deep as iron, but after a moment of pondering, he still agreed with the fifth generation's opinion.

What does it matter if the so-called "Ci" is not in charge of soldiers, and some soldiers are killed or injured? You must know that the only hope now is that the rebels can use their numerical advantage to blow up one or two pieces of the inner city wall of the defender while paying a huge price of death and injury, so as to find a gap for the rebels to invade the city. Then, such casualties and injuries are valuable.

Finally, the rebels were lucky. When more than ten joint carts had been burned, there was a joint cart at the two dead corners of the north and south city walls of the inner city. They luckily avoided the attack of the defenders and dug up the caves that had filled the explosive wooden boxes. Then the troops escorted the formation immediately uttered the flag saying that they had successfully dug out the pits to the rebels.
