Chapter 69 Jieli heard that you are dancing well in the Hu Xuan Dance
"Cheer up, although you are not the warriors of the attached army, but you are also the few warriors in the clan, and your fathers sent you to Shengle City, which means that you are worthy of the honor and martial arts of the family in their eyes, and they believe that you will not dishonor the glory and pride of your ancestors."
Looking at the immature faces on the city wall, Ashina Suni lost his heart was full of bitterness at this time.
In the battle of Dingxiang alone, Jieli lost more than 100,000 Turkic warriors.
If Baidao is defeated again, he will lose the future of the Turks.
Now, the more than 50,000 people in Shengle City are a lot of people. According to the normal ratio, at least 15,000 young warriors can be pulled.
However, all the subordinates under the command of Ashina Suni are the children of various families, and they are also the core children. The oldest of them was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, and the youngest was twelve years old.
These are the essence of the Eastern Turks, the hope of the Eastern Turks, and the future of the Eastern Turks.
Looking at these immature faces, Ashina Suni wanted to grab Jieli and scold: "Into your mother, what a bad battle are you fighting!" ”
However, now they can't go yet. In such cold weather conditions, it is necessary to make adequate preparations, otherwise there is no need for the Tang army to attack, and it is the cold wind outside the fortress that is enough to make the Eastern Turks extinct.
However, this side was not ready to retreat, and suddenly it snowed heavily, which invisibly added countless variables to the evacuation of the army.
The thing that worried Ashina Suni the most finally happened, and there was a strange sound in the northwest direction.
More than 1,600 sleds, which had been removed from camouflage, began to start. Although the snow blocked the view, the sound of the sleigh rubbing against the ground could not be concealed at all.
Moreover, Chen Ying had no intention of concealing it.
At this time, the Turks were like a giant whose backbone had been broken, and Chen Ying stepped forward and stepped on the giant's face fiercely.
Now, very helpless. Ashina Suni lost and could only order these Eastern Turkic youth troops to fight a bloody battle with the enemy.
Ashina Suni gritted his teeth and shouted: "If you want to live up to their expectations, it's not just as simple as going into battle to kill the enemy. You must be able to endure the hardships that ordinary people can't endure, and you must be able to do things that ordinary people can't do. The army is far away (in fact, it has already surrendered to death, Ashina Suni lost the news), Shengle City now needs you to guard, since the Tumen Great Khan, the establishment of the Turkic Khanate, our Turks have never been conquered by the enemy. ”
Of course, the Eastern Turks did not have cities at all. Shengle City is the only city.
Ashina Suni then roared, "No matter how strong the enemy is, no one from the Turks has ever attacked him from the outside. We Turks don't fight ourselves, we are the most powerful warriors in the world......"
Ashina Suni's old body walked on the city wall, shouting at the defenders of the city at the same time as he walked, at this moment the old man did not seem to see the slightest trace of time, and the gray beard seemed to only add a little power to him, as far as the eye could see, even the thinnest soldier involuntarily straightened his chest, and no one wanted to be looked down upon in front of this legendary old man.
"Will the enemy attack the city at night?"
A childish voice asked.
Ashina Suni stopped walking, turned his face to look at the location where the voice came from, his cold gaze swirled on the young warrior's body, and asked, "What's your name?" ”
"Anad Samo"
Ashina Suni smiled at Anad Shamo's disappointed smile: "You are the sixth cub of the Anad family!" ”
A gentle smile appeared on Ashina Suni's face, and he said lightly: "When your fifth brother followed me to fight Yanmen Pass, he was even younger than you are now, but he is not as good at asking rap as you!" ”
Anadesama hung his head in shame, but he heard Ashina Suni say, "It's not a bad thing for young people to think more. Use your brains more to win more battles. You can't be a true warrior with great strength alone. You're good, better than your fifth brother! ”
Anad Sama looked up in surprise.
But he listened to Ashina Suni and continued: "If it is an ordinary enemy, there is no need to defend the city at night, and the soldiers of the Tang people are blind at night, and they can't walk without lighting torches." If we had lit torches, we would have seen them on the city walls, ten miles away. ”
He paused and said, "But." This attack was not an ordinary enemy army, it was the thief Chen Ying who had rushed to the front of the Shibi Khan's formation, this thief's soldiers were all fierce soldiers, not only dared to touch the black road, but also dared to touch the black siege city, and the city of thin bones was lost in this way. Although my Shengle is much stronger than the Thin Bone Law City, I can't take it lightly. The thieves had the courage to attack the city at night. Don't we have the courage to defend the city at night? ”
Just then, a secret service strode up.
The distance was getting closer and closer, Ashina Suni lost sight of the person's face, his face sank, and he shouted coldly: "Ashina Zhong, you dare to leave your post without permission?" ”
Ashina Zhong saluted and said: "Father Khan, there is movement outside the northwest city, it is very strange, we dare not open the city gate at night to check, so we have come to report to Father Khan." ”
Ashina Suni was stunned for a moment, and asked in disbelief, "Northwest? ”
……
On snowy nights, in order to prevent the target from being exposed, no lanterns and torches were lit on the city, and the Turkic soldiers defending the city basically relied on their memories to move on the city walls.
If you light a torch at this time, you will undoubtedly become a target for the enemy.
However, Ashina Suni did not hesitate, he needed to find out what the hell the enemy army was doing outside the city.
At his command, a globular object soaked in grease that had been prepared was ignited at the head of the city, and then quickly thrown off the city.
Ashina Suni, who was hiding behind the enemy tower, stared coldly at the city wall, and the fireball drew an arc and fell under the city, illuminating the figures of several Tang soldiers who were hunched over and holding some kind of tool to make some movements.
The Turkic archers at the head of the city had already drawn their bows, but without orders, they did not release their arrows at these exposed targets.
The soldiers of the Don Army extinguished the fireball with the simplest speed.
Ashina Suni pointed to the two corners of the city wall.
Ashina Zhong understood, and immediately went down to press the row.
Not long after, two identical fireballs were ignited at the same time in the east and west.
It's just a pity.
Before the fireball could be thrown, more than a dozen Turkic soldiers around the fireball were hit by the hidden arrows under the city and nailed to death on the city wall.
If you think you are smart, sometimes you are killing yourself.
If it weren't for Ashina Suni's cleverness, in order to improve the defense capability of Shengle City, he had people pour hot water on the city wall and use the cold to freeze the water into ice.
In this way, the ice will form the maximum armor of Shengle City.
It is no exaggeration to say that even the high-explosive bombs of later generations could not collapse the walls of Shengle City. If you want to take the walls of Shengle City, you must take the method of attacking the city with ants.
Of course, this is Chen Ying's most hated tactic, and there is no one.
In this long-distance attack, because the trebuchet was too cumbersome, Chen Ying's whole army did not carry the trebuchet.
Chen Ying had no choice but to take advantage of the wind and snow and night to let the soldiers of the Dingyuan army approach the city wall.
Chen Ying and Ashina Suni played a game of mouse and cat.
Ashina Suni lost and lit a fireball on the city wall, and Chen Ying ordered the crossbowmen to shoot all the soldiers around him to death, anyway, the crossbow machine of the Tang army had a long range and great power.
That's it, you go back and forth between the two sides. Until Liu Renliang told Chen Ying: "The general is ready!" ”
Chen Ying, who was outside the city, looked coldly at the Turks on the city wall.
He smiled coldly: "It's all over, the era of the end of the famous general!" ”
Liu Renliang asked curiously: "What era will the end of the celebrity?" ”
"General Ben is not a weapon-only theorist, but he also believes that no matter how sharp a weapon is, it will eventually be used by people, and talent is the soul of a weapon. But you won't understand, the power of that thing, you are still far from seeing, and when you can see it, I am afraid that your perception of the so-called famous generals in your hearts will be completely rewritten......"
Chen Ying paused and said seriously: "In the future era, whoever can use that thing well will be a famous general; The so-called famous generals of this era, in front of that thing, will soon cease to be famous generals......"
At this time, the lancers of the Dingyuan Army had retreated to a position of four or five miles to the northwest, and the top in front were the infantry spearmen and sword and shield soldiers of the Dingyuan Army.
With a long shout, the voice sounded: "Spear, shield!" ”
More than 4,000 Dingyuan soldiers began to arrange the charging formation.
At this moment, Ashina Suni, who was standing on the city wall, thought that he was dazzled, and dozens of red dots appeared on the snow a few feet away from the city.
It stands out against the snow.
He looked at the red dots seriously, and with the faint sneer, Ashina Suni muttered, "What the hell are you doing......?"
Theoretically, there are many kinds of explosions...... Gunpowder was still a novelty in this era, and it was not until the wars of the Middle and Late Tang Dynasty that there were examples of the use of trebuchets to throw explosive packets.
However, it is difficult to say that the effect is very good for a few war uses, black powder is not yellow powder after all, and the inferior fuse made of ropes soaked in grease is extremely unreliable, and even if it is successfully detonated, it is difficult to cause great damage to the enemy even if the explosive package with simple packaging and air leakage on all sides is exploded.
This primitive mortar is sometimes not as powerful as throwing stones, and it is normal for the fuse to explode in mid-air or if the fuse is too long to be extinguished or kicked down by the enemy, and it is very accidental to explode on the city wall.
The effect of explosives is mainly concentrated in the loud noise emitted during the explosion and the thick smoke produced by the combustion of black powder.
The former can effectively intimidate the enemy army and demoralize the enemy, while the latter can obscure the enemy's vision and provide cover for the movement of your own army.
Neither of these two tactical effects alone can determine the outcome of a campaign.
As the saying goes, the difference is a thousand miles. Although the ancients invented gunpowder, they did not understand the relationship between density and sealing and explosive power, but Chen Ying understood this......
Chen Ying felt that this moment was very delicate, and everything seemed to be slowed down.
The roaring sound was so strong and swift that a hundred paces away, the sound waves swept through, and almost all of the ear drums emitted a terrifying hum at the same time, and the next moment, everything between heaven and earth changed, and there was no longer any sound in the world, and it was as silent as a ghost.
At that moment, the heavens and the earth were eclipsed. Everything in front of me turned black and white.
Three thousand catties of black powder, packed in a trapezoidal casting carriage. This sleigh was fixed under the city wall, blasting at an angle, facing the Shengle city wall. In order to prevent the lead from being extinguished for other reasons, Chen Ying had hundreds of fuses prepared at one time.
Three thousand catties were detonated in an instant, and the more than eight million liters of carbon dioxide gas produced had nowhere to go, and there was hard and thick earth in front and back. Explosives of this level. It has not yet been called to the earth.
And so, the angry and fanatical gas molecules roared in unison in the direction they could shake......
The thick and solid wooden gates turned into wooden bars in an instant, and the denser and more powerful blast waves that followed reduced them to sharp and slender wooden thorns......
Ashina Suni on the city wall, as well as his son Ashina Zhong, including all the future of the Turks, the hope of the Eastern Turks, all with the city gate tower turned into pieces......
The ground shook violently, the warriors in hard iron armor trembled, and many of the old warriors who were accustomed to blood had to rely on swords, shields, or spears to barely support their bodies.
No one screamed, no one groaned, no blades clashed and cursed, and the world was eerily silent amid a roar.
Chen Ying looked at his masterpiece very easily, and said with a faint smile: "What kind of bullshit ...... famous generals?"
"The era of famous generals...... And that's the end of it? Liu Renliang muttered to himself, as if asking himself. seemed to be asking Chen Ying beside him.
"No!" Chen Ying sighed and said, "The era of famous generals has just begun......"
Shengle City collapsed more than 20 zhang, and in fact, less than 100 Eastern Turks were killed on the spot.
However, this earth-shattering explosion blew up the last will and vitality of the Eastern Turks!
"Offense...... Offensive! ”
Under the orders of the officers, the Dingyuan army launched an attack on the stunned Turkic soldiers on the city wall.
Fight......
In fact, it can no longer be counted as a battle.
The knife slashed at the neck of the Eastern Turks, who did not react.
The spear stabbed them in the heart, but they still didn't respond.
Many, many Turkic people are like they are scared stupid.
"Get down on your knees and hold your head...... Otherwise...... Die! ”
"Hand over Jieli, otherwise Shengle Chicken Dog will not leave ......"
It wasn't until half an hour later that the Turks finally reacted.
The men were all kneeling on the snow, shivering.
Chen Ying did not enter the city, and it was not for long.
With his exposed upper body, Jieli, who was frozen and had a face full of joy, was brought to Chen Ying.
Chen Ying looked at Jieli and smiled faintly: "You are Jieli?" “
Jieli nodded and said, "It's the little slave!" “
Chen Ying looked at the Turkic people around him: "If you dare to deceive this general, you will all have to die!" “
Ai Ai's way during the Jieli period: "A certain is exactly ......"
Chen Ying said with interest: "Jieli, I heard that your Hu Xuan dance is good?" “
Jie Li was stunned.
Chen Ying suddenly shouted in a deep voice: "Jump for General Ben!" “
The surrounding Tang soldiers shouted excitedly: "Jump...... Jump..."
Jieli was helpless, he was pulled out of the bed, without a shirt or boots, and his body was about to freeze.
But in the face of such a majestic Tang army, he just gritted his teeth and began to twist his fat hips.
Chen Ying and the other Tang army soldiers burst into laughter.
