Chapter 64 The blood of Liangzhou has dried up (second watch)
"You cowards, you cowards, do you think you can escape from Liangzhou City?" When Li Daozong saw this scene, he was so angry that he was about to vomit blood, he pointed at the people and scolded: "Do you think you can escape? There are hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry outside, can you outrun a four-legged brute on two legs? Even if you can escape, but have you thought about your parents, your wives and children, can they escape? Even if you can all escape and leave Liangzhou alive, no one will look at you with the right eyes, because you don't even have the courage to turn around and face the enemy! You have lost the backbone of a Chinese person, the blood of a Chinese person! You've thrown away all the most precious things a man has! ”
In the frenzied torrent of screams, curses and cries, Li Daozong's roar shook the heavens and the earth, overwhelming all sounds, causing the fleeing people of Liangzhou to be shocked and turn around hesitantly.
I saw that in the blood splash, Li Daozong's not burly figure was like a mad tiger, and he pounced without hesitation into the Turkic detachment army formation that poured into the city gate like a tide, and the horse lance in his hand was thrown, coincidentally, it was stabbing the mouth of an attached army armor soldier, and the sharp lance blade pierced into the mouth, but the back of the head penetrated, and the sharp lance blade still carried gray-white brain .......
The elite Tang soldiers of the Liangzhou Army, with their flesh and blood to block the attack of the Western Turkic Dependent Army, they are proud soldiers of the Dingyuan Army, they are the iron and steel heroes who followed Chen Ying in four battles and four victories, from Guanzhong to Lingzhou, from Lingzhou to Hedong, to Yanmen Pass, to Weize Pass, and to Taiyuan City.
Since becoming Chen Ying's subordinate, they have understood a truth. As an army, even if they are under siege, even if they are outnumbered, even if they know that they are dead, and there is no order, they absolutely do not know what it is to retreat.
Unconsciously, the people of Liangzhou were stunned. I saw a soldier of the Tang Army who was not strong, and his shoulder was hit by the thistle terrestris of the Western Turkic army, and his shoulder was obviously concave. But the dead soldier of the Tang Army, who couldn't even hold the hook and sickle, did not retreat, but instead pounced on a soldier who was attached to the army, and opened his mouth to bite the face.
The thistle terrestris in the hand of the attached soldier hit the back of the Tang soldier from time to time, and the sound of cracking bones sounded one after another, but the dead soldier of the Tang Army did not let go, and bit the face of the attached soldier hard, his eyes were round and round, but his teeth were tightly bitten on the horizontal flesh of his face......
In terms of equipment, the attached army is indeed worthy of the most elite army under the command of Tong Ye Hu, their armor is the armor of the Uzi cold forging process, and the system is not the Chinese style, but more like the chain mail of the Persian process, this kind of armor, anti-arrow, anti-chopping ability is very strong, and the layers of iron locks can also defend against blunt weapons to a certain extent.
As for the Mingguang armor, its defensive power is much weaker in front of them, if it weren't for the fact that the Western Turks, under the leadership of Tongyehu Khan, successively copied most of the treasury of the Kushan and Sassanid Empires, Tongyehu also had no financial resources to arm such a heavy armor army.
The equipment of the Dingyuan army is good, of course, it is only good, compared to other Tang armies, it is already considered sophisticated, but compared with the annexed army of the Turkic Khan's escort, it is still a lot worse.
Although these detachment soldiers were tall, powerful, and vicious, the thistle terrestris in their hands was like the sickle of death, as long as they attacked, if they hit one person, they would either die or be seriously injured. However, under the leadership of Li Daozong, these soldiers of the Liangzhou Army, which were established on the basis of the Dingyuan Army, had no one to dodge, let alone retreat.
All they knew was that they were holding their weapons and charging into the hole in the city gate, some of them were smashed by the thistle terrestris but they didn't die for a while, and some of them were smashed to half of their bodies and still had a breath left, but they were still crawling forward and rolling forward with their last strength! It seems that the gate of the city, which is devouring life all the time, is not hell, but heaven!
Tongye Hu Khan, who was watching the battle from the front, couldn't help but want to gag when he saw this scene. He's like that, let alone an ordinary soldier! He has seen a lot of fierce enemies, and he has seen many people who are not afraid of death, but he has never seen such a crazy enemy. He originally thought that taking Liangzhou City was a sure thing, but at this time, he was worried.
Tongye Hu Khan even regretted it a little, if Datang was such a person, no, even if it was only one tenth, no, only one percent of such a fierce person who was not afraid of death, he didn't even want to think about it, he ran away quickly, and he didn't want to face such an enemy!
The combat effectiveness shown by the soldiers of the Dingyuan Army in front of the attached soldiers is indeed not worth a damn, but the death aura they showed overshadowed all this!
An old man with gray hair pushed his two little grandsons aside: "Go find a place to hide, live well, and give incense to grandpa in the future!" ”
The gray-haired old man picked up a horizontal knife from the ground that he didn't know who threw it, raised the horizontal knife, and roared with a hideous face: "Grandpa is here!" ”
The old man, who had just come out, didn't have time to swing a knife, but was hit in the head by an iron thistle that was attached to the armor sergeant.
The elder brother, who was hiding in the city with his younger brother, saw this scene and also picked up a brick.
Fear is easily infected, and a person who turns around and runs is likely to cause tens of thousands of troops to collapse, but in the same way, a fearless person can influence countless people, even a real coward, when he is not afraid of death in the face of everyone around him, he will become fearless.
As the young man joined the battle with a stone, countless people in Liangzhou roared, forgetting their lives and holding a flat pole, a stick, or a horizontal knife, or a hoe, and frantically joined the battle, of course, the first person was stoned to death in a blink of an eye, and the corpses fell to the ground one by one, and the blood flowed along the cracks in the stone slabs on the ground, flowing into the distance, but the people who came later, but they didn't know what death was, and continued to charge forward, upward, and fearlessly.
In the face of a group of fearless soldiers of the Dingyuan Army, although these attached soldiers were frightened, they could bear it, after all, there were not many defenders in Liangzhou, but when the people of Liangzhou City also joined this kind of charge that regarded death as home, the attached soldiers were extremely frightened.
In terms of the proportion of casualties in the battle of Chengmen Cave, it must be that the Western Turkic side has an absolute advantage, but in terms of momentum, the defenders completely suppressed the besieging side!
Tong Ye Hu suddenly found out that he was wrong!
Originally, he was friendly with Datang and communicated with each other, but he was bewitched by Jieli Khan, thinking that Datang was a big fat pig, and as long as he captured several cities in Datang, it was enough for the Western Turks to live a big fat year. Datang is very large, there are a thousand cities, Datang is very cowardly, once the soldiers come to the city and intimidate, Datang will give away food, wealth, and women.
Seeing this scene, Tong Ye Hu was already very sure. Jieli Khan is using him as a monkey, if the Tang Dynasty is cowardly, are there still brave people in the world?
Tong Yehu hesitated and said, "Batur, is Ben Khan wrong?" ”
Fal Batur shook his head and said, "Honorable Khan, you may not have heard of a legend! ”
Tong Ye Hu said suspiciously: "What legend? ”
"I am a Brahman, and in the records of the Tang people, we Brahmana actually have another name, called Dawan!" Batur smiled bitterly: "About six or seven hundred years ago, the king of our Brahmana country did a big stupid thing, he was bewitched by the Huns, killed the envoy of the Han country, which caused the anger of the Han emperor, so he sent 20,000 troops to attack our Brahmana country, and as you know, our Brahmana country was defeated, and our stupid king was killed by the Han people. It's not a pity that he died, but it's a pity that tens of thousands of elite soldiers of our Brahmana, at that time, in order to support our Brahma against the Han Kingdom, the Kushan Kingdom, the Anxi Kingdom and the Xiongnu all sent reinforcements, full of hundreds of thousands, but these hundreds of thousands of people, still did not defeat their 20,000 people, originally I thought that the legend was just a legend, just a deceptive story, I didn't expect this to be true! ”
After all, Tong Yehu is not Batur, he knows better than Batur that the Tang people are the Han people four hundred years ago. At the time of the Han Dynasty, all parts of Zhuhu had to submit to the Han people, and they even made a bold statement: "The sun and the moon shine, and the rivers go are all the concubines of the Han Dynasty." ”
This is the hegemony of the Han people, and it is also the law of survival in the world.
Until now, he had vaguely felt that the big man who had made all the tribes tremble seemed to be coming back.
"One Han arrives at five Hu!"
This prestige haunted them like a nightmare, and since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's two expeditions to Mobei, they have been tormented by fiasco defeats all the time, making them almost lose the courage to fight face-to-face with the Han Dynasty. Fortunately, God took pity on them, and the Han people fell into more than 300 years of infighting, and they slowly gained the upper hand.
However, it was not until today that Tong Yehu discovered that the Han people seemed to have returned. Even though they were much better equipped than before, this mentality could not be changed.
However, at this time, Tong Yehu's gaze became extremely cold, and his horsewhip pointed towards Liangzhou City: "The grain inside, Ben Khan doesn't want it, kill them all for me, don't leave any of them!" ”
Yes, they must be killed, if every city resists desperately like these Tang warriors, will the Turks still have a way to live? Even if they can win every battle, if they can't win a few battles, their little youth and strength should be gone! Although no matter what, we must also kill all those Tang troops who dare to resist desperately, and defeat their courage that I don't know where it came from!
As soon as the Khan's Chrysostom opened, a large number of Western Turkic cavalry, Byzantine slaves, resting dead soldiers, and servant armies of various ethnic groups and countries scattered in all directions.
As the sky brightened, Greek fire, ballistas and other siege equipment slowly approached Liangzhou City.
The tearing of the gates of the four cities has come to an end, and there is really no way to fight it. The city gate cave has been densely packed with corpses, and the current situation is that the Western Turks can't climb in, and the defenders of Liangzhou can't rush out either.
Li Daozong walked to the city gate tower full of exhaustion, at this time the city gate tower was only left with an empty house frame, after several times of burning, the city gate tower can be burned out has long been burned out, but when I saw the dense, countless Western Turkic troops, were making preparations before the siege, Li Daozong's side of the Tang soldiers with criss-crossing wounds, everyone's face changed greatly.
Li Daozong sighed.
The blood of Liangzhou has been exhausted, and including the people of Liangzhou, there is no blood to replenish it. What else could he do in this situation.
Li Daozong smiled bitterly: "The general manager of the book ordered to completely abandon the outer city, and all the soldiers and civilians entered the inner city, if you want Liangzhou, take your life in exchange!" ”
Just as the Western Turkic army was preparing to launch a full-scale attack, suddenly a fast horse rushed towards the direction of the royal tent of Tongyehu Khan.
The sound of heavy horses' hooves struck like a hammer on the heart of the Khan of Tongyehu. Tong Yehu subconsciously stood up and looked towards the fast rider.
There were still fifty or sixty steps away from the king's tent, and the fast horse suddenly weakened its front hooves, and collapsed to the ground, and the cavalry on horseback, as if spreading its wings, flew forward more than ten paces away, but fortunately, the knight was tenacious enough, struggling and groaning: "Tell the Khan, Chen Ying is here!" ”
After saying these eight words, the knight, with his head tilted, collapsed to the ground.
The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, and who Chen Ying is, no one does not know.
Especially the Turks.
When Tong Yehu heard this name, his body seemed to be frozen, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Khan, when will the army be ready to attack?"
Tongye Hu Khan was sure that once he launched an attack on Liangzhou City, Chen Ying could appear behind him at any time.
Tongye Hu Khan waved his hand and said: "Wait, come here, send scouts, to find out where Chen Ying has been, how many people there are!" ”
This scout only sent the news of Chen Ying's imminent arrival, but he didn't have time to tell him how many men Chen Ying had, and how far he was from Liangzhou, but he was already exhausted.
Li Daozong stood alone on the west gate tower of Liangzhou City, looking at the army of the Western Turks from afar, he was a little strange in his heart, why don't you attack yet, I will prepare a big gift for you.
