Chapter 1093 is serious about fleeing Turks
"kill!"
Zhang Wenbin felt that he was out of strength, but every time the enemy rushed up, he could still kill the enemy.
The enemy army seems to be endless, constantly coming up.
"Arrow!"
Someone shouted, and everyone crouched in an instant.
This is what Zhang Wenbin thought of.
Arrows flew up from below the city, and countless Turkic people who were standing fell down.
The squatting Tang Jun also fell a little, but compared with the previous two days, the casualties were much less.
"kill!"
Taking advantage of the heavy casualties of the enemy army being killed by their own people, the Tang army took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill the enemy army at the head of the city.
"Khan, the arrows have little effect on the Tang army."
The frontline generals came to ask for instructions.
"Then stop."
Ashina Helu said: "The number of the Tang army seems to be much larger, but most of them are ordinary people. Tell the warriors that the broken city is in sight."
Everyone knows the harvest is at hand.
The general was loudly boosting morale, talking about the possible gains after breaking the city.
Waves of Turkic people rushed up, Ashina Helu lowered his voice, "Ben Khan has sent cavalry to ambush the scouts in the direction of Tang Junting Prefecture, and they can't come."
Everyone burst into praise.
Someone said: "There are people from Tingzhou."
Ashina Helu looked, but it was his own ranger.
How about generals?
Ranger rushed forward and reported: "Khan, yesterday we surrounded and killed the enemy scouts..."
Ashina Helu's face became more smiling.
"But one of the cavalry fled, and then came with more than a hundred cavalry from the Tang Army..."
Ashi Nahelu's face was livid, "Hurry up, send scouts to Tingzhou to spy."
His reaction was not unpleasant.
In an instant, Ashina Helu stared at the top of the city, "Tell the warriors, whoever breaks the city first will be rewarded with five hundred tents!"
Five hundred tents are considered nobles, and they can be said to have reached the sky in one step.
Turks are crazy!
The head of the city is under tremendous pressure.
Zhang Wenbin watched those men and his soldiers continue to fall, feeling cold in his heart.
"Captain!"
Wu Hui was also deeply trapped in the enemy army. After fighting hard, his face was covered in blood.
yes!
But the Turks went mad.
The pressure on the city head doubled.
One place was broken.
"Captain!"
Someone shouted.
Zhang Wenbin shouted: "Go for reinforcements."
He yelled a few times, but no one answered. He looked back, only to find that the reserve team was gone.
No reserve team is a lamb to the slaughter!
Zhang Wenbin took a deep breath, "Let us live and die with Luntai!"
Just as he was about to rush over, he saw someone flickering in the corner of his eyes.
He looked sideways.
"Kill!"
Hundreds of people rushed up.
They have old men with white beard and hair, women with fat bodies, and young men who can't hold a knife...
Zhang Wenbin stood still.
"Follow the old man."
The old man headed by shouted: "Don't fight alone, come, pick up the long gun, line up...kill!"
The old men and the women stood together, keeping the young men behind, struggling to assassinate.
Watching this scene, Zhang Wenbin felt that his face was hot and humid. After touching it, he realized that he burst into tears at some point.
Kill!
The sound of shouting and killing came, and Zhang Wenbin turned around to look.
The leader of the caravan, Zhang Biao, rushed to the front with a horizontal knife, followed by dozens of guys.
They rushed to the top of the city, and immediately joined the battle group.
Zhang Biao beheaded a person with a single blow, and then he was stabbed.
"Bitch dog slave!"
Zhang Biao scolded: "Yeah, I'll kill you!"
He is in his fifties, with a slightly fat body, but he is unambiguous in killing people at this moment.
The guys in the caravan are all well-traveled people, not only knowledgeable, but also skilled.
They will encounter robbers on the road, if they do not have the ability to protect themselves, they would have been wiped out long ago.
The addition of this wave of new troops eased the crisis at the top of the city.
"Tang Jun has many more people!"
At the top of the city, there are many figures at the moment, looking densely packed.
"It's women and children!"
Someone shouted happily: "Khan, most of them are women and children."
Ashina Helu was ecstatic, "There is no one in the Tang army, let the whole army attack, hurry up!"
The broken city is just around the corner!
The offensive and defensive battle has entered a fever pitch.
Every moment someone fell to the top of the city, and every moment the defenders were beheaded!
Ms. Liang stabbed vigorously, and Wang Dalang behind him shouted, "Aniang, let me do it!"
Liang just shook his head.
"Come back when Auntie is dead!"
Wang Zhou was stabbed in the side, he staggered forward, and rushed down the wall with a Turkic man in his arms.
"Ah Ong!"
Wang Dalang howled.
Liang shouted: "Don't cry! Dalang, straighten your back..."
People are not soldiers after all.
The city is in danger.
Strands of enemy troops broke through, grinning ferociously.
The military exploits are right in front of you!
Zhang Wenbin is already desperate.
He swears that he has never seen such a Turkic people who are desperate for life and death.
They went on and on, fighting with the means of killing each other.
"Captain!"
Wu will be submerged again.
The corners of Zhang Wenbin's eyes twitched wildly, knowing that it was the last moment.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The Turkic people under the city were all laughing wildly.
Ashina Helu and others in the distance are also laughing wildly.
"Captain."
Someone shouted: "Left!"
Zhang Wenbin beheaded one person, and glanced to the left while he was free.
On the left, Yiqi suddenly appeared.
The cavalryman reined in his horse and took a look here.
"who is it?"
Zhang Wenbin asked subconsciously.
"who is it?"
Ashina Helu asked.
The ranger set off.
The cavalry turned around and shouted something.
Then a black line appeared in the sky.
Zhang Wenbin at the head of the city watched while hacking.
Ashina Helu stood on the earthen platform and watched intently.
"It's cavalry!"
Someone asked, "It's in the direction of Tingzhou, but is it a ranger from our army?"
The black line started to accelerate.
Gradually clear.
"Raise the flag!"
The big man suddenly raised the banner.
Poof!
The wind blows, and the flag flutters in the wind.
A Tang character is particularly eye-catching.
"It's reinforcements!"
Zhang Wenbin shouted.
"Reinforcements are coming!"
The soldiers and civilians at the head of the city were ecstatic.
Below the city, those Turkic people looked sideways in a panic.
"It's Tingzhou's reinforcements!"
Ashina Helu hesitated.
"how many people?"
Someone said: "Khan, the Tang army has four hundred horses!"
The advantages are great!
"Remove first."
Ashina Helu knew that the army was in a state of confusion at this moment, and if they attacked the city again, they would die.
The enemy retreated like a tide.
"Clean the city gate!"
Zhang Wenbin shouted.
After discovering the Turkic people that night, Zhang Wenbin ordered people to block the city gate.
Mr. Liang stood there and said, "Da Lang."
Wang Dalang was always behind, and now he came up to support Mrs. Liang, "Mother."
Mr. Liang pointed to a Turkic man who was climbing towards the battlements and said, "Go and kill him."
Wang Dalang shivered.
The boy didn’t even kill a chicken at home.
"Kill him." Liang said firmly: "Revenge for you Aye and you A Weng."
Wang Dalang's eyes were filled with tears, he choked up with sobs, and slashed with all his might.
"Cut again!"
One knife after another.
Wang Dalang knelt on the top of the wall and howled, "Ah Weng, Aye!"
Zhang Wenbin went to thank the caravan.
Zheng Biao was lying on the top of the wall, his thigh was stabbed, and the accompanying staff were treating his wound.
Zhang Wenbin glanced at the wound, and knew that Zheng Biao could only walk with a limp on one leg, and even needed crutches.
He asked, "Do you regret it?"
Zheng Biao smiled, "I'm a businessman, and a businessman is cunning! I won't be honest when I should be cunning, and I'm willing to kill my opponent to make money...willing to disregard the law."
Zhang Wenbin asked: "Then you lost a lot on this business today."
"Yes!" Zheng Biao smiled and said, "I'm a cunning businessman, but before that, I was a man of Tang Dynasty first!"
Zhang Wenbin nodded, "What a man!"
More than four hundred cavalry lined up.
"The enemy is in formation."
General Xie Ping said: "Our army has been on the road all night, and the horses need to rest. It is good for them to stop."
More than 400 cavalry faced an enemy army that was a hundred times their own, but they were not afraid at all.
They dismounted calmly to drink water and eat.
"Tang Jun was on his way overnight, no wonder he arrived in time."
Ashina Helu was thinking, "If there are more than 400 riders, if our army strikes with all its might..."
The general beside him said, "But there will be a price to pay."
Everyone thought of Su Dingfang's hundreds of cavalry attacking the Turkic camp.
Tang Jun is too fierce.
Ashina Helu shook his head, and said with firm eyes: "We can't run away anymore, and we need to use a victory to show the bravery of the Turks. Tell them, fight!"
Khan did not escape?
The whole army was inexplicably excited.
But facing more than 400 cavalry from the Tang army today, he actually chose to fight.
"Khan is mighty!"
The morale of his subordinates is high, and the morale of Ashina Helu is also doubled.
"Strike!"
After leaving 5,000 cavalry to block the defenders who might leave the city, Ashina Helu's entire army was dispatched.
"Defeat the Tingzhou cavalry, and then break Luntai City with a backhand. Next, let's go to Tingzhou. Tingzhou without the cavalry will be slaughtered by us!"
The bright prospect made everyone smile.
Puff puff!
Puff puff!
Ashina Helu heard some voices.
It's just like…
There is dust flying in the distance.
Black dots appeared one by one, and then started running.
"It's Tang Jun!"
"It's their pawn!"
These pawns ran panting, their faces flushed. Mostly drenched in sweat.
Since they set off yesterday, they have not stopped in their footsteps. At this moment, they are able to follow the cavalry, which is shocking.
"They have no armor!"
All infantry are dressed in clothes, but they carry swords, guns, bows and arrows.
They gave up their armor and their greatest advantage.
"Array!"
The infantry lined up, everyone's body was shaking.
The Turkic man who was running was stunned.
Tang Jun's pawns are here!
During the many years of fighting with the Tang army, the cavalry of the Tang Dynasty was a unit that frightened the Turks, but if you ask them what they are most afraid of, it is the infantry of the Tang Dynasty.
The pawns of the Tang Dynasty were like rocks after forming a formation, despite the huge waves, they were still crushed by the counterattack.
The pawns looked exhausted, as if they could fall down at any time.
But the morale of the Turks fell involuntarily.
"Khan!"
"Khan, withdraw!"
Ashina Helu's shy knife was hard to get into its sheath.
Xie Ping got on his horse.
More than four hundred cavalry mounted their horses.
They hold spears or horses in their hands, and they are full of energy.
"After three days of siege on the city of Ashina Helu, there must have been heavy casualties in the city. How to comfort the living? Why sacrifice to the dead?"
Xie Ping raised his horse, "Kill the enemy!"
More than 400 riders rushed towards the enemy brigade.
This is a counterattack!
The pawns were still panting.
"Long gun!"
Pikemen array.
"Strike!"
The infantry followed the cavalry and launched an attack.
They ignored the fact that the enemy army was more numerous.
Ashina Helu closed his eyes in pain.
"persist in!"
He wants to see, try...
The gates of the city are open!
Zhang Wenbin rushed out on horseback.
Behind him, more than a hundred soldiers followed.
"Such a small number of people!"
The Turks who stayed behind were laughing.
Then more people rushed out.
old man, woman, child...
They held knives and guns, and there was no fear in their eyes.
"Kill!"
The Tang people are never afraid of their opponents.
No matter how powerful you are!
No matter how many you have!
Whatever happens!
kill!
"Kill!"
More than four hundred riders rushed in, and the two sides continued to hack and kill.
It was only ten breaths, and the Turks couldn't stand it.
The more than 400 cavalry of the Tang army are like a giant arrow, constantly rushing towards their center.
Then the pawns came up.
The spear stabbed, and the cavalry who lost their speed were helpless like lambs.
"Shoot the arrow!"
The rain of arrows flew over in waves, and the enemy cavalry kept falling off their horses.
"No way!"
A general mourned: "Khan! If you don't leave...it will be too late."
Ashina Helu's complexion was pale, "Withdraw!"
His attempt failed.
"Withdraw!"
The Turks fled frantically in roundabouts.
"Withdraw!"
Ashina Helu was surrounded and ran away.
The 5,000 Turks were preparing to pack up the Luntai soldiers and civilians who left the city, but they saw Ashina Helu and others fleeing.
"Is it Khan?"
"What is the Khan doing?"
"Run!" Someone waved and shouted.
So Khan ran away?
Five thousand people were dumbfounded.
"run!"
Serious about fleeing Turks.
After being beaten by Datang many times, they learned a lot about escaping.
For example, every time you escape, you will leave the least or most disobedient subordinates behind to stop and chase.
This is equivalent to asking Datang to clean up the garbage among them.
Every time Ashina Helu has to deal with liver tremors.
This time is no exception.
…
Chang'an in autumn is a bit more bleak.
This is also a good opportunity to travel. Jia Ping'an just decided to go out of the city with his family.
"I dont go!"
Soho is playing dead dog.
"Aniang, your dim sum shop is losing money."
Doudou hurried in.
"What?"
Su Ho stared, "I have tasted those dim sum, how can I lose money?"
DouDou glanced at his father, "It's really a loss."
Su Ho was in a hurry, so he got up and went out.
Arrived at the front yard, the carriage was ready, and Soho got on.
The road was wobbly, and it turned out to be a bit bumpy later, Su Ho asked, "Where is this?"
Doudou proudly said: "Aniang, you can watch it yourself."
Soho pulls the curtain of the car and looks out...
Already out of town.
"Jia Doudou!"
The mother and daughter began to bicker.
Jia Yu was telling his father about his studies.
"Some of those seniors went to the Ministry of Industry, and some went to the Ministry of Household Affairs. They were all very proud. They said that they would come back ten years later to see the juniors. What a return home."
Jia Yu was a little dismissive.
"Boy, everyone likes to return to their hometowns." Jia Pingan analyzed it for him, "Try to think about it, if you go out to be an official for a few years, and then suddenly get promoted and come home, how would you feel at that moment?"
Jia Yu said, "Nothing?"
Jia Pingan: "..."
He thought about it again, "If you earn a lot of money, say tens of millions, how would you feel when you go home?"
Jia Yu said: "It's useless, it's very depressing."
Well, Jia Ping'an felt that he had no way to communicate with his son.
"Your Majesty, there is a messenger."
Several riders galloped over, passed by the Jia family, and one of them reined in their horses and shouted: "Mr. Zhao, Ashina Helu's raid on Luntai was defeated."
This is a soldier.
Jia Pingan rode his horse over and asked, "How many horses?"
"40,000 to 50,000 horses stormed Luntai, Ashina Helu made people shoot arrows regardless of enemy or friend, the defenders in the city suffered heavy casualties, and all the people, women and children, participated in the battle..."
"Fortunately, Tingzhou came to the rescue in time, but Ashina Helu still fled."
"Hurry up." Jia Pingan nodded, watching the messenger ride his horse to Chang'an City.
Wang Bo came over, "Sir, why did Ashina Helu raid Luntai at this time?"
Jia Pingan said: "If he doesn't move, he won't be able to move."
Wang Bo understood, "Ashi Nahelu is gradually aging. If this decadence continues, not to mention Turkic collapse, he himself will be in danger."
"Yes." Jia Pingan said: "If you want to survive, who can those tribes follow? It's even easier to live by yourself, why follow Ashina Helu?"
"Anxi is going to be busy."
…
It has been two months since I returned to Chang'an, and the empress still misses the beautiful days of Jiucheng Palace.
"Your Majesty."
Wang Zhongliang came with a messenger.
"Anxi Express."
Li Zhi read the urgent report and handed it to Wu Mei.
"Ashina Helu suddenly led an army to attack Luntai. Fortunately, the defenders were tenacious and Tingzhou rescued them in time, so there was no danger."
Wu Mei raised her head, "Women and children have also joined the battle. Your Majesty, you should be rewarded."
This is the delicacy that men don't have.
Li Zhi nodded, "This is the most tragic battle of Ashina Helu's invasion over the years. The defenders are brave, and the people are also brave. It should be rewarded."
Reward is one thing, analysis and response is another.
The prime ministers are all here, and so are the important ministers.
"Where is Zhao Guogong?"
The emperor looked down and asked with a sneer.
After two months since I came back, your younger brother started working hard for a few days, and then went fishing for three days and drying the net for two days.
It's time to take care of it.
It was Wu Kui who came from the Ministry of War, "Your Majesty, Zhao Guogong said he was going to investigate the city defense of Chang'an."
The prime ministers lowered their heads, as if seeing the emperor's nose twisted by anger.
Where does Chang'an City Defense need to investigate?
These words have another meaning in another direction: Your Majesty, Duke Zhao is out of the city.
"Luntai was attacked, Ashina Helu seems unwilling to be lonely."
Liu Rengui came back, and immediately took over the post of Yushi doctor, Zhizhengshi, that is, the prime minister.
He took this step with ease. Everyone knows that a new star has risen in the political arena.
This new star is older, but sharper.
Xu Jingzong asked: "How about Tubo?"
yes!
Ashina Helu ate the bear heart and the leopard dared to attack Datang?
The only possibility is that he feels that he is strong enough.
But even the more powerful Turks could not shake Datang, so...
"Ask the Ministry of War and Baiqi."
The messages sent by the spies are varied and require a process of analysis.
"Tubo has been doing well in recent years. Lu Dongzan has been licking his wounds for a long time, so it's time to move."
Li Ji said these words slowly, which made the hearts of the monarchs and ministers tremble.
