Chapter Ninety-One: This Is War
War is like that, it's always the most dangerous time when you're feeling relaxed. The Turks proved with their lives and blood that their previous victories were not achieved by chance.
Wolves are bloodthirsty, which is manifested in the fact that they do not care about the lives of others, and they also do not care about their own lives. Look at the bare-chested guys who climbed up the city wall like ants with broken knives in their mouths. Yun Hao's scalp was numb.
The loud rumbling sound kept ringing up, along with the explosion. Sharp nails and steel balls flew everywhere, cutting through the skin robes of the Turks and digging deep into their flesh. Those guys who were bleeding and covered with horrible wounds still climbed the wall. Despite their screaming and howling, the pace of climbing the wall never stopped. Until the moment the blood runs dry!
In the face of such a terrifying enemy, Yun Hao finally knew. Why is it as strong as the Great Sui, and it can't defeat them. Why Li Er's victory is so exciting.
As long as it is human, it will be afraid of the loud roar, and Yun Hao is sure that the Turkic soldiers are also afraid. Because at the time of the explosion, their bodies will tremble. The more timid ones will even be scared to sit on the ground. The shivering guy would just be stunned for a moment, and then go on to climb the wall like crazy. The guy who sits on the ground will jump up as fast as he can. With shame, an attack that doesn't care about life and death. As if he wanted to use his own blood to wash away the cowardice just now.
The number of casualties was skyrocketing, and the Turks suffered more than twice as many casualties as the Don army. The corpses under the city had piled up almost two feet high, and they were still piling up. It means that if you pile up the corpses on the city wall, you will win.
I remember an ancient Roman general, after many years of fighting with the Germanic army, exclaimed: they do not understand military affairs, but they are very strong, they do not understand strategy, but they are very cunning. This simple sentence contains a profound philosophy.
Many people have said that the best teachers are not special teachers, not famous schools, but interests. But this answer is wrong.
In this world, the best teacher is survival.
For a piece of land, for a house, for a piece of meat, for one more day in this world, to be familiar with the art of killing, to master the trick of robbery, no need to urge, no need to persuade, in every day of the contest between life and death, know how to survive, know how to survive.
Survival is difficult, so in order to survive, you have to be more cunning, you have to be more brutal.
The Turks have a first-class talent for learning warfare in warfare, which may be the reason why the heavens threw them into the desert steppes to live together.
The gunpowder bullet quickly lost its potency as it should, as a lit powder bullet was dropped off the city. Immediately you will be held in the arms of the crazy Turks, and then make the warmest hug to Mother Earth. After a dull sound, the living turned into minced meat. But the power of gunpowder bullets has also been greatly reduced.
Yun Hao's face was pale, he had seen Xue Ju's Longyou cavalry. The impression given to him is that he is just fierce, and the Turkic impression of Yun Hao can be called iron-blooded. Such an enemy is terrible and respectable. For the first time, Yun Hao had respect for his opponent. Although, these people are cold, cruel and savage. But they really are qualified fighters!
"Let's use fire oil!" Yun Hao sighed helplessly, he felt like the little girl who lit a match to keep warm. A basket of matches could never withstand the cold wind, but for a moment of warmth, she had to strike matches again and again.
The herald immediately ran away to convey Yun Hao's order, and soon threw the incendiary bomb from the castle tower with a flaming fire. Animals are instinctively afraid of fire, and humans are advanced animals, but they still belong to the category of animals. But when Yun Hao looked at those guys covered in flames, he screamed and lay on the ladder. Yun Hao was deeply shocked!
Although this act is heroic, very touching, and can even shock the enemy. But Yun Hao believes that this kind of behavior is very lacking.
The burning body soon ignited the ladder. The burned-out ladder fell from the city walls and then set more things on fire. Of course, the torches thrown down by Sheng Yanshi from the city also played a role in fueling the flames.
The fire around the city of Bingzhou burned rapidly, and the flames swirled with a wave of heat. Brought the black smoke and the hope of the Turks to attack the city, and brought it to the sky. The ladder doesn't burn much longer, and the torch burns even shorter. The best fuel is actually the people under the city walls. Alive! And the dead!
Drops of human oil continued to flow from the burning corpses, fueling the flames. The living will run with a wail of fire, and the dead will sit up in the midst of the raging fire. The eyes, nose, and mouth are all on fire, and the image is extremely terrifying.
In the midst of the raging fire, the siege stopped. There is no way not to stop, and the heat wave set off by the burning fire makes people avoid ten feet away. Yun Hao, who was inside the city tower, felt that his face was hot and painful. The mouth and nose are full of annoying burnt smell.
Tang Jun got a precious respite, and Jieli's heart was dripping blood.
Those were the bravest warriors of the Turks, and they attacked for a morning. Seeing that the city of Bingzhou was about to be captured, the Tang army came up with this kind of immoral thing. The fire looks like it's going to have to burn for a while. The three-foot-thick pile of corpses provided ample fuel for the flames.
"How many casualties?" Jieli looked at Ashina Simo with curly hair.
"More than 5,000 people!" Ashina Simo glanced at Jieli and lowered his head in reply.
Jieli's heart twitched, these 5,000 people are the essence of the Turkic clan. In just one morning and one noon, he was buried under the city of Bingzhou.
"The fire is out, I'll go again!" Ashnasimo gritted his teeth, many of his subordinates and brothers were burning. Now the most he wants to do is rush into the city and kill all the damned Han Chinese.
"Forget it! Don't go any further, we'll withdraw our troops after dark. Jieli sighed helplessly, patted Ashina Simo's shoulder and turned to leave.
"Why?" Ashinasimo's eyes were red, and he pounced on Jieli like a wolf. Grabbed him by the arm and wouldn't let him go.
"What about the destruction of this city? A city almost drains the blood in our bodies, and you know how many small counties like this there are in Hebei. ”
"But in other counties, there are not so many defenders. Perhaps, there is no such terrifying weapon. Ashina Simo stiffened his neck, he really didn't want to leave like this.
"You're just saying maybe! As the king of the Turks, I must be as brave as a lion and at the same time find traps like a fox. We have suffered so many casualties, even if we return to the grasslands. How can you continue to bring those tribes that are ready to move into submission? The steppe is not only the steppe of the Turkic people, but also the steppe of many tribes.
If we bury all the warriors here, we won't be able to win. The Turkic people will be replaced by the ridicule and detention people. We will lose our homeland, from the eagle of the steppe to the lowest slave. The cruelty they inflicted on them, they will return to our children a hundredfold. Ashina Simo, you are the bravest warrior of the Ashina family, but you are not a qualified king. ”
After Jieli finished speaking, he patted Ashina Simo on the shoulder again and left. Let Ashina Simo behind him let out the most poignant roar! Jieli knew that the good old days of the Turks plundering the Han people at will were over. Maybe it's time to talk to Liu Wenjing, the most beneficial thing to blackmail is the right way to return to the grassland and lick the wounds on his body.
As the king of the Turks, it is not possible to leave a way out for yourself. Hundreds of thousands of people followed themselves to eat, and if they suffered heavy losses in Handi. How will you be king when you return to the grassland in the future? The descendants of the wolf clan are bullied by foxes, and Jieli will never let this happen to him.
Liu Wenjing is a friend of her brother, although she doesn't like him. But in order to obtain greater benefits, it is not impossible to make friends.
In the midst of war, when you feel like you can't hold on. Maybe your enemies feel the same way!
Yun Hao felt that he couldn't hold on anymore, and Zuo Wuwei suffered more than 1,500 casualties in one morning. Yun Hao had no choice but to pull the team that was resting to the city wall again and again. The walls were a mill of flesh and blood, filled in by the living, and the broken dead poured out.
More than half of the oil was consumed, and only a third of the gunpowder remained. Without these two things, Yun Hao really didn't know how he should deal with the Turks who were crashing like waves. For the first time, Yun Hao felt that death was so close to him.
Sheng Yanshi's neck was cut by a stray arrow, which is very dangerous! If he crooked half an inch, the sharp arrow would have slice through his artery. What I see now is not a guy with a thick neck, but a corpse.
used to always say that he was hit by an arrow in his buttocks, and looked at Qiu Shili who was lying on the stretcher "hum" and "hum". Yun Hao felt that his mouth had not been opened! Because, this thing's ass was really hit by an arrow.
It is unknown how he was hit by the arrow, but a stray arrow went down the nail leaf and into his ass. This cargo is equally lucky, if it ejaculates to the spine. He never wants to continue walking in this life!
The camp is full of wounded soldiers! Except for Xiong Kuohai, who seemed to be able to fight forever, half of Zuo Wuwei's officers were wounded.
The officers of the cold weapon era are different from the hot weapon era, and these guys don't have any concept in their heads at all. The style of following me is deeply rooted in their bones.
The fire outside the city wall had a tendency to gradually extinguish, and Yun Hao asked people to prepare hot water. As soon as the flame is extinguished, it is poured on the city wall as quickly as possible. Hot water freezes faster than cold water, and hot water freezes more smoothly.
The Turks seem to have no intention of attacking again, and Yun Hao thinks that an attack of this magnitude will occur. I can almost last three to five days.,If there are no reinforcements arriving at that time.,I'll need to explain what happened.。。
Gathering away his subordinates, Yun Hao looked at the faces that were smoked like little ghosts. He stood up and bowed deeply to his subordinates.
Everyone was shocked, and they couldn't even react, whether they wanted to support their handsome.
"Brothers! The oil is running out, and so is the gunpowder. The rest of the battle can only be fought by the swords in our hands. When the reinforcements will arrive, I don't know. I don't even know if reinforcements will come. I tell you these things openly and honestly, that is, to let you know. Maybe we'll all die here!
Those who want to leave, or those who want to surrender. I understand, but the Turks are besieging the city on all sides. If you want to go out, it may be more difficult than climbing to the sky. If you want to surrender, you will die worse than a pig. Those who doubt my words can look at the blackened corpses and ashes under the city.
Since we can't live, we fight for our lives. Take up your swords and prove with the blood of your enemies that the Han Chinese are not inferior to their Turks. My big man stands up to the sky and wants to eat us. You've got to crack a tooth first! Kill! ”
Yun Hao raised the horizontal knife in his hand, and shouted in his voice.
The soldiers don't care, everyone knows what the Turks can do after breaking the city. Killed so many Turks with their temperament. There must not be a single living person left in this city. In this case, killing one is enough, killing two fucking people earns one.
"Kill!" The soldiers raised their horizontal swords, and the sound of shouting and killing shook the snow on the roof tiles "poof" and "poof" falling down.
Jieli outside the city also heard the earth-shattering sound, shook his head helplessly and walked into the tent. Inside the tent, Liu Wenjing bowed with a smile. When he saw Jieli walk in, he immediately bent his waist lower. As an old friend of the Turkic people, Liu Wenjing knew how to curry favor with the Turks.
Liu Wenjing was surrounded by Luo Khan's confidant and good friend Kang Lili. As a comrade-in-arms who fought side by side, Kang Shealy once participated in Li Yuan's attack on Song Laosheng and Yujuluo. and Liu Wenjing, it can be regarded as a friendship. This time Liu Wenjing came to the Turkic army, and it was Kang Sheli who was the matchmaker.
"Tang envoy Liu Wenjing pays a visit to the Khan!" Liu Wenjing looked very humble. At the same time, both hands presented their own gift lists. He knew the rules of entering the temple to burn incense, not to mention that the Turks also changed the Bodhisattva in this temple. Chuluo Khan was his friend, and Jieli was not counted.
"I often hear my brother mention you, you are a good person. What did the emperor of the Tang Dynasty ask you to do? Let Lao Tzu retire? Liu Wenjing, you've seen it all. Hundreds of thousands of Turkic warriors waited for me, even if I agreed. They won't agree, even if they do. The sword in their hand will not agree. Jieli just glanced at Liu Wenjing, and sat in the middle with a big sting.
"Khan, this time the Turkic army has committed a border ......!"
"There is a white-haired wind on the grassland, and we have suffered heavy losses, so we naturally have to take refuge in the Han land. Since the Tang Dynasty and the Turks are brotherly states, it is not too much to lend Hebei to us to shelter from the wind and snow! Liu Wenjing's words were not finished, and he was interrupted by Ashina Simo ruthlessly.
"This ......!" Liu Wenjing's frightened eyes were about to fall off, I had never seen such a shameless person.
