Chapter 1091 Brothers go all the way
Ashina Helu ate some mutton cooked last night for breakfast, which was a bit fishy. At this moment, there is some acid reflux in the chest and abdomen.
He raised his hand.
"Investigate!"
The generals around shouted: "The Khan has an order to investigate the enemy's situation!"
Dozens of riders shouted at Ashina Helu: "Take orders."
Immediately they galloped on horseback.
Wherever they went, the soldiers avoided the passage one after another. From a distance, it looked like dozens of riders were riding through the waves.
Dozens of cavalry were divided into more than ten teams, and they rushed forward and backward.
This is reconnaissance, but also a deterrent to the defenders.
Later generations will call this a pretense ratio!
"No need to be on guard!"
Zhang Wenbin said: "This is the enemy's investigation of our army's situation."
Wu Hui sneered, "Ashina Helu is stern, if someone else changes, he will definitely attack directly."
The enemy cavalry was getting closer and closer, reining in their horses beyond the range of the bow and arrow, and pointing at the city head wantonly.
"Bow and Arrow!"
Zhang Wenbin stretched out his hand to the side.
A sergeant sent a bow.
This bow is bigger than the others, Zhang Wenbin puts his bow and arrow.
let go!
A Turk who was pointing at the top of the city immediately fell off his horse.
Those Turks were stunned.
Isn't this out of bow range?
The Turkic man who could fall off his horse had an arrow stuck in his chest, and the tail of the arrow was still trembling.
"It's the Archer!"
Someone exclaimed.
Everyone looked up at the top of the city.
An arrow suddenly appeared, and the Turkic who had just raised his head was hit by the arrow and fell off his horse with a bang.
"Spread out!"
The Turkic people stopped pretending and began to detour to both sides, but the distance was farther.
At the beginning, Xue Rengui shot all the arrows in Liaodong, killing the souls of the Koreans, and their morale plummeted.
This is the deterrent power of the sharpshooter.
At the head of the city, Zhang Wenbin handed the bow and arrow to the people around him, and said, "Tell them to bow their heads."
"The captain has an order, bow your head!"
Those soldiers squatted down one after another, so in the eyes of the Turkic people galloping on both sides, there were very few defenders at the top of the city.
"There are only a few mice, it's a scam."
Ashina Helu saw the whole process, but he was not moved at all.
He has been beaten by Datang too many times, and he has long been used to it.
He raised his hand, "There are 1,200 defenders, 300 left three days ago, and there are only 900 left."
Someone around was puzzled, thinking that since Khan knew about it, why did he send someone to investigate?
If the general of the Tang Dynasty is here, he will definitely tell him: if you are a general, you will not show off, and your future is not high.
Commanding operations requires a lot of flair. Do whatever works best to boost morale. This is what a general should do.
As soon as he came, he pointed at the top of the city and beeped: "Brothers, kill!"
These generals are stunned in the eyes of Emperor Taizong. If the force value is super strong, then Xue Wanche is the second, usable but not reusable. Low force value...that is trash, and leading the army to fight is to mislead people and the country.
Ashina Helu shouted: "Break the city today and reward the whole army!"
These days, even the Tang army has to rely on rewards to maintain the fighting will of the government soldiers, let alone these Turkic people. If you come here for the sake of Turks, give me a fight! Guarantee that these people will work hard.
"Long live!"
The Turks began to attack.
"Prepare…"
At the head of the city, Wu Hui shouted: "Crossbow arrows..."
"put!"
A wave of crossbow arrows flew down.
The Turkic people in the impact fell by dozens.
How many Turks are there?
Tens of thousands!
Can't see clearly!
Countless!
"Archer…"
"put!"
The size of the bow and arrow is larger, and the hit rate has also increased.
But it is still a drop in the bucket.
Boom!
The ladder is placed a little below the city head, which is the calculated height, so as to prevent the defenders from overturning the ladder with a fork.
Puff puff!
People rushed up the ladder, and the whole ladder sank.
Squeak!
Amidst countless squeaks, the enemy army is coming.
"kill!"
A fierce battle broke out at the head of the city.
Wang Chuhai led his subordinates to defend a section of the city wall.
"Hold on!"
Wang Chuhai stabbed desperately with a spear.
A Turkic man brandished a long knife, and immediately he jumped up.
"kill!"
Wang Chuhai stabbed vigorously.
The Turkic avoided, and then even clamped the barrel of the gun under his armpit, and rushed forward with a loud shout.
"The team is up!"
His subordinates shouted anxiously.
"Abandon the gun!"
Someone shouted.
In such cases, abandoning the gun is the only way out.
Wang Chuhai did not let go, but held the spear in both hands, and rushed forward suddenly.
The barrel of the gun and the Turkic man's armpit rubbed violently, the heat was high!
The Turkic couldn't bear the pain, so he subconsciously opened his right arm.
Wang Chuhai quickly took two steps back, and came back with a carbine.
One shot to seal the throat!
"Colorful!"
Tang Jun couldn't help cheering.
But it doesn't stop there.
The second Turkic has emerged.
Wang Chuhai's long spear was exhausted, he stepped forward quickly, turned the long spear, and the end of the spear hit the Turkic man's forehead.
The Turks fell on their backs, and screams of terror came from below.
Wang went out to sea and stood with his gun closed.
Awesome!
Wu Hui holds a horse spear and continuously assassinates the enemies who rush up, but there are too many enemies and too few defenders, and small groups of enemies continue to successfully ascend the city, and immediately form a team to charge and kill.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Waves of arrow rain shot and killed those enemy squads, but arrow rain also covered the city from time to time, and the defenders still had to pay the price.
Blood flowed into the city.
Zhang Wenbin beheaded one person, his eyes flicked around, and seeing those soldiers fighting hard, their morale was high, and he felt relieved.
A sergeant was hugged by the Turks, and a long knife pierced through his lower back. The sergeant's eyes were about to burst, and he stretched his middle and middle fingers and poked at it vigorously.
"ah!"
The Turkic screamed, let go of his hands and covered his eyes, stumbled back, and fell straight to the top of the city.
The sergeant covered his abdomen, glanced at Zhang Wenbin, and shouted, "Captain, I'm going!"
A Turkic man rushed up from the top of the city, and the sergeant rushed over.
Boom!
The long knife slashed the sergeant's neck. Zhang Wenbin saw that his eyes had lost their luster, but he still remembered to hug his opponent.
"No!"
Turks shouted.
Immediately, the two fell to the top of the city together.
An old **** shouted: "Come back!"
But only the screams from below the city responded to him.
Zhang Wenbin's eyelids jumped and he shouted, "Kill the enemy!"
Ashina Helu looked at the tragedy at the top of the city from a distance, and said: "The Tang army dared to fight, and their will was firm. Don't think that they will collapse. Tell the warriors to go forward and follow. One hundred bills!"
One hundred accounts are considered small landlords, no, small nobles. If it develops well in the future, the descendants will become a force in Turkic if they don't manage well.
The so-called Khan was fought out of these forces.
Morale immediately boosted.
Ashina Helu sighed: "Ben Khan blindly used the glory of the Turks to inspire morale, but later he realized that glory is glory, and money is money. Eagles on the grassland will only bend down for their prey, and the same is true for warriors." .”
After a quarter of an hour, morale dropped.
"Khan, the Tang army has lost a lot. How about continuing?"
Someone suggested to go on the offensive.
Ashi Nahelu shook his head, "Attack must be steady, blindly attacking will make the morale of the Tang army high. Withdrawing now, their minds will relax, and then they will be physically and mentally exhausted..."
Someone praised: "Khan is wise."
"Yes!" Someone said: "When sleeping with a woman, the whole person is full of energy and feels infinite strength. But after a while, the whole person is sluggish."
Ashina Helu stroked his beard and smiled, "It all means the same thing."
There was a burst of ambiguous laughter on the battlefield, which shows that these dignitaries are relaxed. And Ashina Helu is also happy to see his subordinates relax, so that the attack will be more effective.
At the head of the city, Zhang Wenbin sat on the ground panting.
"Check casualties."
After being busy for a while, someone came to report.
"Lieutenant, thirty-nine brothers died in battle, and more than fifty were injured."
This is just the first battle, and it turned out to be so tragic.
Zhang Wenbin's cheeks trembled, "Go and see."
He started his rounds.
"Lieutenant." Wu Hui regained some energy, "We won't last long if this goes on, two days..."
Zhang Wenbin said: "Let's talk about death."
Wu Hui nodded vigorously, "Alright, let's talk about death."
"Captain, drink some water."
Someone brought a water bag, and Zhang Wenbin filled it with his head raised.
"Comfortable!"
He wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth and asked, "How is it in the city?"
A team is saying: "The people in the city are safe."
Zhang Wenbin narrowed his eyes, "Where is that caravan?"
Team Zheng said: "It's still safe."
Zhang Wenbin nodded, "If it's inappropriate, let's kill him."
The team smiled and said, "Don't worry, captain, when the time comes, the brothers will not be relentless."
…
Liang is cooking at home.
Among the smoke from the kitchen, the three children were making a fuss outside, and Liang scolded: "They are all debt collectors! You are waiting for Aye to fight, be good, otherwise you will be beaten hard."
After the food was ready, Mrs. Liang asked the boss to come in and help serve the food.
Wang Zhou sat on the threshold with blank eyes.
"Aye, eat."
Liang picked up the apron and rubbed his hands, "I don't know how to fight. I asked those people and they refused to say how many enemy troops there were. If they did, at least they were prepared."
Wang Zhou got up and said, "God knows how many Turkic people came here, shouting and killing all day long. These lowly dog slaves are like wild dogs. They run away when they see the army of Tang Dynasty coming, and sneak out when the army is gone. What’s so good about Luntai? It’s just a caravan. Hey! Ashina Helu is going back more and more.”
Liang said with a smile: "Isn't that a robber?"
After eating and washing up, Mrs. Liang went out quietly.
There are sergeants patrolling the streets, but very few.
There was a squeak from next door, neighbor Zhang Ju came out, and when he saw Mrs. Liang, he whispered: "Want to go and see?"
Liang Shi nodded, Zhang Ju pointed to her apron, Liang Shi couldn't help feeling embarrassed when he saw it.
"Just go." Zhang Ju looked around, "There are few sergeants patrolling the city, so it can be seen that there are many Turkic people coming. I also came out to ask, so I can help carry things."
Relying on their familiarity with the terrain, the two turned left and right, and even touched the place near the top of the city.
But when the transfer came out, both Zhang Ju and Liang were shocked.
The peasants carried the corpses one by one down the city, put the corpses on the cart, and then turned back up.
"Thirty or forty." Zhang Ju panicked, "Why did so many die in battle?"
Liang's heart was beating like thunder. She looked around, but she didn't see her husband Wang Chuhai. She was a little anxious and walked out in disregard of the rules.
"who?"
A sergeant at the head of the city opened his bow and set his arrows, his movements were frighteningly fast.
Mrs. Liang recognized that this was Wang Chuhai's subordinate, so she asked, "Did you see my husband?"
The sergeant breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her, and pointed to the side, "The team is right there."
Wang Chuhai is helping a brother with a wound.
"Captain, your wife is here."
Wang Chuhai got up and looked slowly.
One is at the head of the city, and the other is at the bottom of the city.
The two looked at each other.
Wang Chuhai scolded: "Who told you to come? Shame on you! Go back! Go!"
The army has its own rules, and people are not allowed to go out without permission during wartime.
But the Liang family has even touched the city, which is considered a serious violation.
Zhang Wenbin happened to come over for inspection, and frowned when he saw this, "The people who patrol the city are not doing their duty, and they will be severely punished after the war."
Wu Hui smiled wryly, "There are not enough troops at the head of the city, and there are only about 20 sergeants patrolling the city.
"Yeah, don't care about this, even if there is only one person, you have to keep an eye on the city."
Mr. Liang hurriedly blessed her body, "I will go back now."
She glanced at her husband and saw that he was covered in blood, but his complexion was fine, his hands and feet could move freely, and she felt relieved.
Wang Chuhai took a deep look at her, "Get lost!"
Mr. Liang turned around.
"Enemy attack!"
She turned around slowly, and saw Wang Chuhai rushing to the battlements with a spear in hand.
The wounded sergeants struggled to get up, and followed them to the battlements.
No one backs down!
In sight, waves of Turkic people are walking slowly.
Wu Hui gritted his teeth and said: "Ashina Helu is bullying that the city is short of troops, and the bows and arrows are not strong enough."
Zhang Wenbin sneered, "Yeah hasn't used that thing, just waiting to treat him to a good meal."
Wu Hui's eyes lit up, "Gunpowder?"
Zhang Wenbin nodded, "The first attack was very violent. If gunpowder was used at that time, the enemy would inevitably be on the alert. This time you see...the Turkic people are so dense that they have nothing to fear."
Here comes the gunpowder pack.
In the distance, Ashina Helu said smugly: "Break through Luntai tomorrow morning at the latest, and then kill all the Tang people and grab all the money, food and weapons."
A nobleman said: "Khan, women should be kept."
Ashina Helu nodded, "Of course."
"It's about to start." Ashina Helu smiled, "Ben Khan has been dormant all these years, and when the Tang army came, he ran away. Everything is for today... Take Luntai, Anxi is shocked. Lu Dongzan is not a fool , he will take advantage of the situation to attack, and then attack from both sides, hahahaha!"
Someone let out a cry of surprise, "Khan, a lot of things have been left behind."
Ashina Helu saw those black spots, and said with a smile: "Do they think they can stop our warriors with stones?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone couldn't help laughing wildly.
"Boom boom boom boom!"
Intensive explosions came and went.
"Early Law!"
Ashina Helu's war horse stood up, but fortunately he was skilled in riding, so he did not fall off the horse.
But he was not the slightest complacent, but shouted: "It's the gunpowder of the Tang people!"
The city has become a **** at this moment, and those Turkic people fell around the bombing point. Farther away, someone was injured and screamed, someone turned around numbly, and staggered back, no one could hold him back.
Senseless!
All confused!
"Khan, let the warriors back!"
Tang Jun appeared at the top of the city, and they all raised their bows and arrows, shooting at the city.
At this moment, those Turkic people are all stunned, and they can kill a person with just one arrow.
"Excellent!"
"Smashing stones!"
The arrows were a little sparse, and the peasants raised stones and threw them down, screaming together.
Zhang Wenbin said happily: "The situation is great! It's a pity that there are not many cavalry, otherwise Yeye would dare to open the city and go out to charge."
"The enemy has retreated."
Wu Hui also has some regrets.
This wave of attacks was too sharp, and Ashina Helu gave the order to retreat with a livid face.
"Incapable!"
Morale dropped.
Ashina Helu knew he had to make a difference.
Several generals knelt in front of him, and Ashina Helu walked over.
Clang!
The light of the knife flashed.
The head landed neatly.
Ashina Helu raised his eyes, "If you go in, you will have money, food, and women."
Without any extra words, Ashina Helu forced his subordinates to continue attacking.
A general shouted: "They don't have much gunpowder, don't worry..."
But those who rushed to the front were all cannon fodder!
Under persecution, the Turks launched an attack again.
"Spread out."
The Turks quickly found a way to deal with gunpowder kits, that is, to disperse.
Boom boom boom boom!
The gunpowder pack exploded, and the number of casualties was significantly reduced.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Someone is laughing.
"Throw less."
Zhang Wenbin sneered and said: "When the people dispersed, fewer people died. But the attack was also weak. This is a double-edged sword. I only need to wait for three days, and Tingzhou will definitely notice it, and then Tingzhou reinforcements will rush Come, the army of the Protectorate will also be dispatched, does Ashina Helu dare to stay?"
Siege battles have always been fierce, but compared with the Turks, the Tang army is much easier.
Wang Chuhai didn't know how many people he had killed, he only knew how to assassinate, assassinate...
His hand suddenly softened, and the Turkic man on the opposite side was overjoyed and rushed over.
Wang Chuhai was stunned, subconsciously discarded the spear, and then drew out the horizontal knife.
The knife flashed, and the Turkic man fell to the ground and twitched, his neck was **** and bloody.
Wang Chuhai was panting, a hole was cut on the side of his waist, and blood kept gushing out.
"The team is up!"
A sergeant turned his head and shouted in despair.
Five Turks rushed up, but the sergeant was injured on his right leg and could only kneel on one knee.
Wang Chuhai rushed over without hesitation.
The light of the knife flickered, and his body was obviously slowed down by half a beat.
"kill!"
Wang Chuhai killed a man with a single knife, and the sergeant who was kneeling on one knee cut off a man's leg, struggled to stand up again, and shouted: "Yeah, I will fight with you."
He rushed into the enemy group, Wang Chuhai shouted: "Old three!"
The sergeant was surrounded in the middle.
"ah…"
All he could hear was his screaming.
"Shoot the arrow!"
Reinforcements came, and a wave of arrows overwhelmed the enemy army.
The enemy has retreated.
Wang Chuhai walked over, pulled away some corpses, and saw the sergeant.
The sergeant was panting, his face was pale, "Captain, I... am I... a hero?"
Wang Chuhai nodded, "Yes!"
The sergeant still had a smile on his lips, but his eyes lost their luster.
Wang Chuhai turned his head and shouted: "Someone is injured here, help him!"
A doctor rushed over, knelt beside the sergeant, just glanced at it, then pressed his pulse, and said, "Brother, go all the way!"
