Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 1123

[Chapter 1123 Fierce Firepower]

“This is the city of Sa, what a beautiful city.” When the

Ashur tribe fell into panic due to the arrival of Dasong’s army.

Mahan and Dianzhang arrived outside the city of Sa.

Starting from Songyang Pass, they headed west all the way.

As the altitude gets higher and higher, they gradually feel that the air becomes thinner, and at the same time, the temperature keeps dropping.

At this time, the value of their long-term altitude training is reflected.

They were unaffected by anything other than a slight slowing of the march.

But for them, the reduction in marching speed will not affect their operation.

Because the Tubo Plateau is too desolate, it can be said that there are thousands of miles of uninhabited people.

There is no other place for the Ashur tribe to go other than hiding in Sacheng.

That’s why they didn’t let the Lancers go first, but the infantry and cavalry marched towards Sacheng together.

The infantry were pulling the supplies and food.

“Soon this city will belong to Dasong.” Dianzhang looked at Sacheng, narrowing his eyes.

At this time, people’s heads were faintly visible on the city wall of Sacheng.

Obviously, as they expected, Ashur was going to defend Sacheng to the death.

Of course, they were not worried that Ashur led his troops to escape.

Before setting off, they sent orders to the generals of the White Tiger Army on the northern grasslands to deploy their defenses along the Tianzhu line.

Once traces of Ashur’s tribe are found, they will be wiped out immediately.

As for the direction of Tianzhu, after the king of Tubang pledged his allegiance to Dasong, Guan Tong ordered them to keep an eye on the road between Tubo and Tianzhu.

Further to the west, it is the site of Chen Hu’s Western Regions Protectorate.

In short, this Ashur is now the turtle in the urn, and this time they will take it.

“Prepare to attack the city.” Mahan couldn’t wait.

The weather in Dasong is already late autumn, and the Tibetan Plateau is as cold as winter.

They don’t want to continue freezing in the wild.

“Yes, General.” Dian Zhang shouted, spitting out white steam.

The order was passed on, and 18,000 infantrymen immediately surrounded Sacheng.

The artillery also aimed their artillery at the city wall.

For this battle, they deployed thirty-six rifled guns and seventy-two howitzers.

It even carried one hundred and eight machine guns, in

order to use the powerful firepower to destroy the resistance of the Ashur Department.

When everything was ready, Mahan gave an order, and the artillery began to bombard Sacheng.

Cannonballs whizzed across the sky and landed on the city wall, and huge flames burst out on the gray-white city wall.

At this time, Mahan and Dian Zhang watched the city wall.

Once the opponent’s smoothbore gun was found to counterattack, the artillery was ordered to destroy it.

“Ashur is at the end of his strength, there are not many smoothbore guns that fire solid bullets.” Another smoothbore gun on the city wall failed to fire, Xun Zhang sneered.

“Of course, in the battle of Yongzhou, Ashur almost lost all his money. Now most of the army is forced to recruit Tibetans. There are not many real Beidi soldiers. As for guns and artillery, Britain itself does not have many. It is impossible to support him much.” Mahan said in a deep voice.

Dian Zhang nodded, “This battle seems to be easier than we imagined.”

While the two were chatting about the situation on the battlefield, the cannons on the city wall of Sa City failed to fire one by one.

After an hour, there is no way to fight back, only to be bombarded in vain.

Seeing this, Mahan asked the machine gun team to press up and use its firepower to suppress the Ashur soldiers on the city wall.

At the same time, the infantry was ordered to prepare ladders and prepare to attack the city.

“Da da da…”

Not long after, machine guns fired from all four walls of the city.

The machine gunner stared at the city wall, and as long as any Ashur soldier showed his head, he would shoot violently, so that he couldn’t lift his head.

Taking advantage of the enemy being suppressed by machine guns, the infantry launched a charge under the charge.

Carrying the ladder, he approached the city wall of Sacheng.

“Kill…” There was a burst of killing

outside the city, but the Ashur tribe inside the city, the generals and soldiers were completely panicked.

Most of these soldiers were recruited from the young and strong in Tubo after the defeat of Ashur Yongzhou, and they were all recruits.

They have never been on a battlefield, never seen blood.

Furthermore, Tibet is a very closed place.

When Ashur conquered Tubo, it was still a serf system.

Most Tibetans have never seen guns in their lives.

Because of this, Ashur was able to use his own guns to easily take away Tubo.

But now, compared with the guns and artillery of Ashur, the guns and artillery of the Dasong army outside the city are simply one in the sky and the other in the ground.

The cannonballs that could explode frightened their souls away.

After throwing the corpses of a great battle on the city wall, the recruits composed of Tibetans were no longer willing to go to the city.

“My lord, the guns and cannons of Dasong’s army are too powerful. If you climb the city wall, you will die.”

The Dasong soldiers outside the city were about to attack the city wall, but the soldiers inside the city refused to climb the city wall to defend. A wolf was anxious and helpless .

“Then what are the scimitars on your waists for?” Ashur was sitting on the street in the center of Sa City.

Generals coming from four directions reported battle reports to him from time to time.

And all the generals brought him bad news.

“Your Majesty, it’s just different now. Not long after we regained the Tubo people, the Tubo people may not be convinced to us. If we forcibly supervise the war, we are afraid that there will be trouble.” Lang Lu did not follow Ashur’s words, but refuted.

They dared to supervise the Beidi people and the servants because they knew that these people would not resist until the limit was reached.

“噗!” As soon as Lang Lu finished speaking, Ashur stood up abruptly and drew out the scimitar from his waist.

The light of the knife flashed, Lang Lu clutched his neck, his eyes showed disbelief, and fell down slowly.

The nearby Beidi generals all turned pale with fright.

Ashur looked normal, and said slowly, “Who has any questions?”

“No.” The generals looked at each other and turned to leave.

Not long after, they led Beidi soldiers and appeared behind the Tubo soldiers, lighting up their butcher knives.

“Bang bang bang…”

When Beidi urged the Tubo soldiers to climb up the city, the Dasong soldiers had already climbed up the city wall.

Immediately after occupying the city wall, they condescended and shot down the city.

The machine gun team also transferred the machine guns to the city wall, and kept shooting the Ashur soldiers within the distance.

The appearance of Dasong soldiers made the Tubo soldiers even more frightened.

They fled backward one after another, but when they turned around, they found that the supervisor team kept hacking and killing the retreating soldiers.

After only hesitating for a moment, they chose to kill the Beidi Governor team.

Because under the fire of the Dasong army’s muskets, their companions died at an alarming rate.

In comparison, the scimitar in the hands of the supervisor team does not seem to be terrible.

When many Tubo soldiers thought so, Beidi Du’s team was immediately killed by a large number of Tubo soldiers.

A Mingdu soldier died at 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 Beidi people, they also lost their leadership, like a mess.

In order to survive, they dropped their muskets and swords one after another, and surrendered to the Dasong soldiers.

The battle started quickly and ended quickly.

In just half a day, the White Tiger Army captured Sacheng.

The Ashur tribe, as the last force still resisting in Beidi, was completely wiped out.
