Chapter 366: Shanzhou Offensive and Defensive Battle (Medium)
"Woo ......"
The fire ignited abruptly and extinguished quickly, but it was only a stick of incense, as soon as the oil was exhausted, the fire was already extinguished, the black smoke was swirling, the scorched corpses were all over the ground, the thick smell of burnt paste was pungent and unpleasant, looking at the mess all over the field, Hertzzan's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, and he was angry and angry, and raised his hand, ready to give the order to attack, but at this moment, a terrible horn suddenly sounded in the rear, and Hertzzan's newly raised arm had to be stagnant in mid-air, looking back, but seeing the rear army left and right, Revealing a large group of unkempt slaves, Hertzzan saw this, first for a while, but after his eyes rolled, he immediately reacted, and the corners of his mouth hooked, and he couldn't help but laugh darkly, and he didn't rush to attack anymore, but put on a posture of watching a good show.
"Listen, the people in the city, these dog slaves are your former comrades, my family is very merciful, and does not want to kill more, give a way to live, if you can fill the city wall, spare him a death, if you have the intention to slaughter, you can do it yourself!"
As soon as a large group of beggar-like figures appeared, the defenders at the head of the city were stunned, and no one knew what tricks the Tubo army was playing, but just when the army was speculating, a Tubo cavalry rode a horse and rushed to the city, shouting loudly to uncover the mystery, which immediately made the defenders of the city dumbfounded.
"Shameless!"
"Dog thieves, there is a kind of coming at the masters, taking prisoners of war as a method, counting it as a crime, shameless!"
"Bastard thing, shameless!"
……
After figuring out what was going on, the defenders at the head of the city were silent for a while, and then they all scolded angrily, and then scolded and scolded, but everyone didn't know how to deal with it, and they could only watch thousands of former comrades gradually approach the city, and for a time all the eyes of all the defenders were focused on the two chief officers of Cheng and Zhuang.
"Damn it!"
Looking at the skinny appearance of the former comrades who were gradually approaching under the city, Cheng Hedong's eyes instantly turned red, his teeth were clenched, and his hands were clenched with white marks, he really didn't expect the Tubo people to be shameless to such a field, and his heart was like a knife, and he really didn't know how to make a decision - this is the life of thousands of comrades, how can he bear to do it, but if he ignores it, this city defense will obviously not be guaranteed, and where to go really makes Cheng Hedong in a dilemma.
"Cheng Envoy Jun ......"
The Tubo army came to such a scoundrel move, not only Cheng Hedong was embarrassed, Zhuang Mingyi was also a little at a loss, seeing the prisoners of war under the city extremely busy filling the soil, Zhuang Mingyi really couldn't stand it, his lips moved a few times, and he called lightly, but the words of persuasion came to his mouth, but he really couldn't bear to say that he would go on, so he could only look at Cheng Hedong helplessly, waiting for him to come up with a quasi-idea.
"Pour oil!"
Cheng Hedongmu stood for a moment, his burly body shook suddenly, squeezed out two words from between his teeth, and then shook his body, as if he had exhausted all his strength, he stretched out his hand with difficulty to support the city wall, panting rapidly.
"Envoy!"
Seeing that Cheng Hedong was crumbling, Zhuang Mingyi was in a hurry, hurriedly stepped forward, stretched out his hand to hold Cheng Hedong's arm, and called anxiously.
"Needless to say, after this battle, a certain person went to His Highness to ask for guilt, and everything was taken care of by himself!" Cheng Hedong weakly pushed away Zhuang Mingyi's hand, said a sullen word, and then stepped forward, swept his eyes at the overwhelmed defenders of the city, and said with a broken voice: "Still stunned, pour oil!" ”
"The whole army listens to the order, does it, and the officer will take care of it if there is something!"
Zhuang Mingyi is also a proud person, and he refuses to shirk responsibility, and when he saw that the soldiers at the head of the city were still standing stupidly, he immediately shouted, rushing to carry the responsibility to himself.
"No!"
The defenders of Shanzhou are all border troops, stationed at the border all the year round, and there are many vicious battles with the Tubo army, all of them are hot-blooded men, and the knife is added to the neck and does not change the color of the lord, but in the face of the unarmed former colleagues, all of them are in tears, all of them are like knives, and then the military orders are like mountains, since no one dares not to follow the order, but the voice of the response is full of sadness!
"Brothers, go back and fight!"
The oil fell from the top of the city in a hurry, but the prisoners of war still numbly poured the earth back and forth as if they did not know, until the torches on the city floated down, and then someone roared, with a full body of flames, and pounced on Hertzzan, who had stopped more than a hundred paces away from the city and watched the bustle.
"Fight! Fight! ”
In the countless shouts, thousands of prisoners of war with raging flames, like a moving mountain of flames, surging towards the Tubo army, roars, miserable howls rushed into the sky, many prisoners of war fell on the way to charge, but the rest still desperately forward, and then forward, ignoring how painful the burns on their bodies were, the only belief is to die with the enemy!
"Shoot the arrows, release the arrows, and kill them all!"
Hertzzan was laughing and watching the excitement, but he didn't expect that the city would dare to pour oil and light fire, and he didn't expect the prisoners of war to be so resolute.
Hertzzan's reaction was not unpleasant, and the orders issued were also very timely, but under the panic of his soldiers, there were really not too many people who could react, only more than 100 alert crossbowmen shot the arrows in their hands in time, but some were fast, some were slow, and the sparse terrain was not the scale of the arrow rain, although it shot down more than 100 prisoners of war who rushed to the front, but the rest had taken the opportunity to pounce on the front.
"Don't retreat, steady, steady!"
Seeing the burning men rushing wildly, the vanguard of the Tibetan army was in a big chaos, some wanted to shrink back, some wanted to hide to the side, and some did not know whether to live or die to meet the attack, the original untidy formation was already a mess of hemp, so anxious that the three corpses of Hertzzan jumped violently, wielding a knife to kill several chaotic soldiers, trying to stabilize the formation, but unfortunately it was too late, the prisoners of war who fought the last time at the cost of their lives wildly crashed into the Tubo army formation, regardless of whether the enemy on the opposite side was slashed or stabbed, Just dragged one person, then held on to it, the fireworks rushed into the sky, the entire Tibetan front army completely collapsed, no matter the foot and horse, all turned around, wishing that the father and mother would give birth to a few more legs, even Hertzzan, the main general, could not stand on his feet, and was swept away by the chaotic soldiers and retreated to the Chinese army.
"Hmm!"
Seeing the fighting back of the prisoners of war, Gar Qinling's face finally changed, so gloomy that he could almost drip water, but he didn't say much, just waved his hand, snorted coldly, and his two cavalry generals led their troops to rush forward, like two iron tongs to the chaotic front army tide, only one rush, the surging and scattered chaos was rushed into two sections, and no matter whether it was their own rebels or prisoners of war who rushed over, a rain of arrows unceremoniously covered the past, and those who dared to rush into battle were all shot on the spot, and then, Cross sprints, back and forth, slashing and stabbing under the gun, strangled everyone in the front of the battlefield one by one, thousands of people died unexpectedly, the whole battlefield was full of corpses, blood flowed like a river, how miserable!
"Great Minister, the last will be damned, the last will be damned!"
Hertzzan has been following Gar Qinling for a long time, and he knows that Gar Qinling looks generous and easy-going, but in fact he is ruthless in his bones, and he does not dare to speak out to justify his mistakes.
"Now that you know your sins, then go and make the merit for your sins, and give you another chance to do so, go!"
The reason why Gar Qinling arranged for prisoners of war to fill the city this time was originally intended to disturb the hearts of the defenders, whether the defenders killed the prisoners of war or not, the result was a great benefit for Tibet - killing the prisoners of war would definitely frustrate the morale of the defenders; If you don't kill, as soon as the city is filled, the Tubo army can take advantage of the situation to rush the city, and the defenders who don't have the advantage of the city wall are destined to have only one way to go, but he did not calculate that the prisoners of war, who were already numb like the walking dead, would actually come to such a dying counterattack, so that the losses of the vanguard army were small, and the momentum of the defenders was greatly increased. Just lightly commanded.
"Thank you for your love, and the general will definitely swear to break the city!"
Hertz was secretly relieved that he had fled the disaster, and he did not dare to slack off a little, so he hurried to receive the order, and rushed back to the vanguard formation that had been in a mess, roaring hoarsely, and trying his best to put the military in order to prepare for another battle.
"Second brother, the front of our army has been blunt, so it's better to ......"
Gar Tsampa had always been steady, but when he saw that his brother was going to fight on his own, he couldn't hold his breath anymore, stood up from the side, and persuaded in a low voice.
"Well, there is no need to say much, I know it for my brother!"
Gar Qinling is a dignified Tubo military god, how can he not see that the soldiers have been frustrated now, and under the strong attack, he may not be able to get what he wants, but he obviously has other plans, and before his brother finishes speaking, he immediately raised his hand, put on a straight face, and said in an unquestionable tone.
"No."
Gar Tsampa had always respected his brother, but seeing that Gar Chin Ling had made up his mind, he did not dare to persuade him more, so he could only answer the promise with doubts, respectfully retreat to the side, and look at the city.
"The army listens to the order: the thief has come up, ready to fight!"
Without paying much price, it was easy to defeat the Tubo front army, this kind of victory is not small, but the defenders of the city did not let out cheers, all silently weeping at the battlefield that was full of corpses of prisoners of war, everyone was sad, all of them were sad, for a time the atmosphere at the head of the city was depressed and suffocating, even if Cheng Hedong, who was the commander of the first army, was also sad, but sad was sad, but he did not forget to observe the changes in the enemy formation, and when he saw Hertzzan's department moving forward again, Cheng Hedong didn't dare to be the slightest slack, and roared, and the defenders at the head of the city immediately became vigilant, and a vicious battle of attack and defense began......
