Chapter 1137 Fierce Firepower

"This is Sacheng. It is really a beautiful city."

The Ashur tribe was in panic due to the arrival of Dasong's army.

Ma Han and Dianzhang arrived outside Sa City.

Since starting from Songyang Pass, they have been heading west.

As the altitude gets higher and higher, they gradually feel that the air becomes thinner, and at the same time, the temperature continues to drop.

At this time, the value of their long-term altitude training came to light.

Apart from a slight slowdown in marching speed, they suffered no other effects.

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

Because the Tubo Plateau is so desolate, it can be said to be thousands of miles away from people.

The Ashur tribe had no other place to go except hiding in Sa city.

This is why they did not let the lancers go first, but the infantry and cavalry advanced toward the city of Sa.

The infantrymen were the ones pulling the baggage and food supplies.

"This city will soon belong to Dasong." Dianzhang looked at Sa City and narrowed his eyes.

At this time, human heads could be faintly seen shaking on the walls of Sa City.

Obviously, as they expected, Ashur was ready to defend Sa city.

Of course, they were not worried about Ashur leading his troops to escape.

Before setting off, they gave orders to the generals of the White Tiger Army on the northern grasslands, asking them to set up defenses along the Tianzhu line.

Once traces of the Ashur tribe are discovered, they will be annihilated immediately.

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

Further west, that is the territory of Chen Hu's Western Region Protectorate.

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

"Get ready to attack the city." Ma Han couldn't wait.

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

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

"Yes, general." Dianzhang shouted, spitting out white steam from his mouth.

After the order was passed down, 18,000 infantrymen immediately surrounded the city of Sa.

The artillerymen also aimed their guns 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.

The purpose is to use powerful firepower to destroy the Ashur tribe's will to resist.

Everything was ready, Ma Han gave an order, and artillery began to bombard Sacheng.

Cannonballs 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 artillery counterattack was discovered, artillery was ordered to destroy it.

"Ashur is really at the end of his game. He doesn't even have a few smoothbore cannons that can fire solid bullets." Another smoothbore cannon on the city wall misfired, Dianzhang sneered.

"Of course, in the battle of Yongzhou, Ashur almost lost all his capital. Now most of the army are forced Tubo people. There are not many real Beidi soldiers. As for the muskets and artillery, Britain itself doesn't have many. It’s impossible to support him much,” Ma Han said thoughtfully.

Dian Zhang nodded, "This battle seems to be easier than we thought."

While the two were chatting about the situation on the battlefield, the artillery on the walls of Sa City went silent one by one.

Within an hour, there was no way to fight back, and all we could do was to be bombarded in vain.

Upon seeing this, Mahan asked the machine gun team to press on 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 gun fire rang out from all four walls.

The machine gunner stared at the city wall. As long as an Ashur soldier showed his head, he would fire a burst of fierce fire, which would make him unable to raise 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 were sounds of killing outside the city, and the generals and soldiers of the Ashur tribe inside the city were completely panicked.

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

They have never been to a battlefield or seen blood.

Furthermore, Tubo is a very closed place.

When Ashur conquered Tibet, it was still a serfdom system.

Most Tibetans have never seen a gun in their lives.

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

But now, the muskets and artillery of Dasong's army outside the city are like heaven and earth compared with Ashur's muskets and artillery.

The exploding shells scared their souls out.

After leaving a battle corpse on the city wall, the new Tibetan troops were no longer willing to climb the city.

"Your Majesty, the muskets and artillery 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 capture the city wall, but the soldiers inside the city refused to climb up the city wall to defend. The 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 ties brought to him were unfavorable news.

"Your Majesty, it's just that now is different from the past. Not long after we recovered the Tibetan people, the Tibetan people may not be convinced by us. If we forcefully supervise the battle, we are afraid that trouble will occur." When Lang Lu heard this, he did not follow Ashur's words, but retorted.

They dared to supervise the battle of the Beidi people and their servants because they knew that these people would not resist unless they reached their limit.

"Swish!" As soon as Lang Lu finished speaking, Ashur stood up suddenly and drew out the curved knife from his waist.

The knife flashed, Lang Lu covered his neck, his eyes showed an unbelievable look, and slowly fell down.

The Beidi generals nearby were all scared pale.

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

"No." The generals looked at each other and turned away.

Not long after, they led the Beidi soldiers to appear behind the Tubo soldiers and showed their butcher knives.

"Bang bang bang..."

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

After occupying the city wall, they immediately looked down and fired at the city.

The machine gun team also moved the machine guns to the city wall and continuously fired at the Ashur soldiers within the distance.

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

They all fled backwards, but when they turned around, they found that the supervisory team was constantly hacking and killing the retreating soldiers.

After just a moment's hesitation, they chose to kill the Beidi Supervisory Team.

Because their companions died at an alarming rate under the muskets of the Dasong army.

In comparison, the scimitars in the hands of the Supervisory Team did not seem to be terrible.

When many Tibetan soldiers thought so, the Beidi Supervisory Team was immediately killed by a large number of Tibetan soldiers.

One by one, the soldiers of the Supervisory Team died under the knives of the desperate Tibetan soldiers.

The resistance of the Tibetan soldiers immediately hit the remaining Beidi generals and soldiers.

Without the suppression of the Beidi people, the Tibetan soldiers no longer wanted to continue fighting with the Dasong soldiers.

Moreover, by killing the Beidi people, they also lost their leaders, like a pile of loose sand.

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

The battle started quickly and ended quickly.

In just half a day, the White Tiger Army took over the city of Sa.

The Ashur tribe, the last resisting force of the Northern Di, was completely wiped out.
