"Your Highness, Li Tang's army is less than five miles away from the camp, and the army stretches for several miles, and it seems to be pouring out."

A herald rushed into the camp of the Sui army and reported loudly.

"Sure enough, it came."

"It's a little slower than expected."

"It seems that Li Xiaogong made a decision after a lot of struggle."

"Your Highness, give the order."

“……”

The Da Sui general, who had been prepared for a long time, looked at Yang Tong on the main seat, eager to try and high-spirited.

"All the generals are in place, I want to see what this first general of the Li Tang Sect is capable of." Yang Tong immediately stood up, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

"Whoa!"

When Yang Tong walked out of the tent of the Chinese army with the generals, he saw that tens of thousands of Great Sui soldiers were already ready, grinding their fists, eager to try, waiting for the order to fight. Many powerful crossbows have been placed in their intended positions, ready to attack invading enemies at any time.

Yang Tong climbed the command tower to look at the Tang army, and after waiting for less than a while, the heavy footsteps suddenly sounded from afar, only to hear the desolate horn sound, a group of Tang troops swept from afar like a wave, like a torrent, and a majestic phalanx pressed the formation, and the black pressure seemed to have no end, as if it wanted to devour all the living creatures in the Sui army camp.

"What do you think of this Li Xiaogong?"

"It's amazing!" Wang Fubao replied honestly: "Looking at the momentum of this Tang army, it is really extraordinary, no wonder Li Xiaogong can sweep Bashu and deter Xiao Miao." ”

"That's Xiao Miao's incompetence, and he didn't meet my Great Sui Army." Pei Xingyan said disdainfully.

"Haha, that's a good point! How can my elite division of the Great Sui be comparable to that of a mere rebel army? Let Tang Jun see the power of science and technology today. ”

Luo Shixin said excitedly: "Your Highness, get ready." ”

"Pass my order, the army will stick to the camp and let the Tang army attack. No one is allowed to fight. "The camp of the Sui army is also built on a small slope, the slope is not large, but it is also a slope, which can also slow down the speed of the Tang army, even if it is such a small advantage, Yang Tong will not let it go.

"Whoa!"

……

Under the handsome flag, Li Xiaogong, who was wearing a golden king armor and hanging a sword at his waist, appeared in front of him, and the generals around him gathered, like the king of the ancients, looking extremely majestic and full of strong momentum. Looking at the Great Sui soldiers who showed no signs of sending troops, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, Yang Tong had calculated his desire to fight, and he was not willing to give up even the slightest advantage.

Looking at the heavily guarded Sui army camp, Li Xiaogong sighed secretly, he no longer had any choice, the sword was unsheathed, pointed at it, and said sharply: "Attack!" ”

"Whoa."

Dozens of war drums beat violently together, and in the dense sound of war drums, the Tang army shouted and rushed towards the Sui army camp, like a rolling black wave, murderous.

The camp of the Sui army was ten miles long, and the Tang army attacked the enemy camp at three points, Li Daozong led 20,000 troops to attack the west gate of the Sui army, Li Xizhi led 10,000 troops to attack the eastern front, and Lu Zushang led 10,000 troops to attack the southern line.

Another 40,000 Tang troops, thought they were back-up.

The wall in front of the Sui army camp is two zhang high, divided into two layers, there are wooden planks in the middle, there are shooting holes in the upper and lower layers, 30,000 Sui soldiers stand up and down, holding military crossbows in their hands and waiting for them, and blocking in front of them is a board made of bamboo pieces, arrows are basically stuck in the gaps when they shoot on it, the enemy retreats, you can pull it out and use it, the bamboo row blocks the enemy with good effect, it is light to carry, and it is better to use than the big trees that roll around.

The Sui army is at the south gate of 4,000 large crossbows with different ranges, which is one of the killing weapons of the Sui army against the attacking army array.

In the middle of the camp, there is a command tower as high as five zhang, from which you can see all directions of the camp, at this time Yang Tong is on the tower, watching the overwhelming Tang army.

As the commander-in-chief of this big battle, Yang Tong did not interfere in specific operations, he only coordinated the operation, although the Tang army was menacing, he was very relaxed, he knew in his heart that it was not difficult to defeat the Tang army.

Pei Xingyan and Wang Fubao each have 30,000 Sui troops and 10,000 slaves, and they themselves command 45,000 elites, with nearly 50,000 more troops than the other party.

The surging Tang army is getting closer and closer, they are carrying thousands of ladders to the Sui army camp, the Tang army is charging fast, the shield soldiers are lined up, one by one at the cost of life and death rushed to the front, defending the siege army behind them.

The outside of the camp was overgrown with weeds, and the Tang army rushed in a surge, and the thousands of people who rushed to the front suddenly wailed and fell to the ground one after another, and they stepped on the thistles scattered on the grass.

Tribulus terrestris has been widely used during the Warring States period. After the Qin and Han dynasties, thistle terrestris became a commonly used defensive equipment in the army, in addition to being laid around roads, defensive areas, and cities, when the troops were stationed in the camp, there were also arrangements around the camp. Tribulus terrestris has four iron thorns protruding, three inches long, and one thorn facing upwards when it lands on the ground, and there is a hole in the center of the thistle, which can be connected with rope for laying and collection.

The Sui army used to deal with the Tang army was just an ordinary type of thistle, and the tribulus terrestris used to deal with foreign races was all tempered in severe poison, and once stabbed, it was either crippled or fatal. But despite this, it still caused great damage to the Tang army.

When the Tang army was in chaos, a rain of arrows fell, and a large area of the Tang army was killed by the clusters of arrows falling from the barracks like mowing grass.

The arrows in the barracks flew sideways, the wails sounded one after another, the Tang army continued to fall, and round after round of flying arrows fell from the sky in an orderly manner, harvesting the lives of the Tang soldiers like raindrops.

The war has entered a brutal stage.

However, for this scene, Li Xiaogong not only did not get angry, but showed a smile, being able to find out the defense of the Sui army camp so quickly, even the iron thistle terrestris knew about it, which showed that the defense of the Sui army camp was only like this. It's just that the thistle terrestris is arranged hundreds of steps away, which makes him suffer a big loss.

"Lay the planks." After Li Xiaogong's eyes were fixed, he immediately ordered loudly.

"No!"

After the military flag waved, there were enough 10,000 Tang troops carrying wooden planks to pave the way for the three-way attack camp army, and soon paved dozens of plank roads, so that the Tang army could avoid the assassination on the ground, but the formation of the plank road soon became the focus of the Great Sui to take care of the place, the Tang army in order to avoid the assassination on the ground, all stepped on the boardwalk, although there were shield soldiers in front of the top, but the infantry shield can hide from ordinary bows and arrows, how can it hide from the strong crossbow? Catapults?

The Tang army was as dense as an ant colony, and the mighty stone roads covered the wilderness outside the Sui army camp. The thistles were no longer able to bring them harm, but they couldn't avoid the stone henge above their heads, and hundreds of huge stones roared down from the sky, rolling in the crowd of the Tang army, flesh and blood flying, and screams resounded through the field.

Huge stones smashed into the crowd one after another, terrible screams kept coming, fear made the morale of the Tang army drop, many Tang soldiers turned around and wanted to run, but Li Xiaogong had already prepared, 3,000 guards with knives in the back of the formation, nearly 100 Tang soldiers who escaped from the big formation were cut to the ground.

The Tang army had no choice but to charge forward, as the Tang army approached.

The corners of Yang Tong's mouth, which had been standing on the conning tower, raised slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Prepare to launch the Crossbow." ”

"Whoa!"

With the waving of the captain's flag, the soldier in charge of the operation released the winch, and a dull sound was accompanied by a muffled sound.

"Hum~"

Heaven and earth were filled with a huge hum in an instant, and the forty thousand crossbows of four thousand crossbows as long as spears crossed a distance of five hundred paces almost instantly, and slammed into the Tang army's army.

The shield in the hand of the shield soldier did not help Tang Jun escape the nightmare, those five-foot-long arrows bombarded the shield fiercely with violent force, and the shield that could resist the continuous shooting of a single crossbow failed to block this terrifying sharp arrow, many shields were directly shattered, even if they didn't, the sharp arrows that pierced the shield were enough to kill Cao Jun behind the shield.

"Puff puff puff~"

"Uh~"

In the sound of a series of sharp weapons tearing apart the body, the entire military array seemed to be peared, hundreds of Tang Army soldiers didn't even react at all, their bodies were torn, and some of the corpses could still be intact, but more people's bodies were directly torn off by the huge force, and when they looked down, they suddenly gasped, and a large area was already shrouded in blood mist.

Screams could be heard in the blood mist, but at this moment, tens of thousands of Tang troops were swallowed by the terrifying arrow.

Looking at the messy land, let alone the Tang Army, even the Sui Army brought by Pei Xingyan and Wang Fubao were stunned, and it was the first time they had seen the domineering power of this kind of big crossbow. However, the Sui Fifth Army was accustomed to it, and they had seen each other many times when they were in Goguryeo, but the first time they had the same expression.

"Keep on the arrows! I won't give birth to cubs if I keep it, so I can shoot as much as I want......"

The general in charge of the crossbow array kept giving orders in a high voice.

Big arrows poured out like torrential rain, the earth shook, dust flew, and an endless stream of Tang troops were strung directly to the ground, miserable.

The shield shattered to the ground, blood splattered, endless wails resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the tragic scene of being shot by a giant arrow made the frightened charging Tang army retreat again and again.

Li Xiaogong's pupils of the Chinese army contracted violently, and he looked at the big arrows that were still being fired, and said angrily: "What is this?"

"Your Highness, it seems to be a powerful crossbow. A big arrow can penetrate the bodies of five or six people" A subordinate general picked up a big cross arrow as long as a big spear and rushed over in fear: "A short fork is like a knife, and it can cut people in half." ”

Looking at the flesh and blood on it, Li Xiaogong gasped.

"Your Highness, the enemy army has this murder weapon in hand, and there are not enough people to kill, whether our army will collect troops." Looking at the Tang Army soldiers who had changed color, a general hurriedly asked.

Li Xiaogong's face froze, and he gritted his teeth fiercely and said: "Break the whole into pieces and continue to attack, I want to see how many means he Yang Tong has."

"No!"

The shield soldiers could not form a formation, the Tang army's defense was immediately greatly reduced, the arrows from the bow and arrow and the crossbow poured out again, and the Tang soldiers continued to fall, and the scene was like cutting wheat, batch after batch, and it was impossible to get close to the Sui army camp at all.

Some of the shield soldiers had just gathered together, and the big crossbows were immediately aimed at them, and the cruel cross arrows shattered their thoughts, and after the attack lasted about half an hour, 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers of the Tang army were killed and wounded under the attack of the big arrows and ordinary arrows.

"Brother! You can't fight anymore, it's simply sending you to death. "Li Daozong retreated from the front.

After Li Xiaogong frowned, he finally sighed dejectedly, "Collect the troops." ”

"Whoa!"

As the sound of the golden bell echoed, the Tang army, who had escaped by chance, breathed a sigh of relief, the big arrow was too terrifying, and it quickly retreated like a low tide.

Yang Tong had already noticed the defeat of the Tang army, and the time was ripe for a counterattack, and ordered: "Beat the drums, and the cavalry will attack." ”

"Knock Knock Knock"

In the sound of war drums, 20,000 Turkic cavalry killed Li Tangzhong's army from the front, and when all the Turkic soldiers were dispatched, the Xuanjia army, which had been gaining momentum for a long time, followed behind the Turkic slaves and surged out.

The 40,000 Xiaoguo army killed the left and right wings of the Tang army!

Pei Xingyan and Wang Fubao each led 10,000 cavalry to bypass the battlefield and kill the Tang army camp.
