The sun hung high in the sky, and the snow reflected the sunlight unusually dazzling. Zhang Liang let go of his hand, and the saw-like horizontal knife fell to the ground with a "dangchang"!

Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and according to the etiquette of the Central Plains, today should be the day when the girl returns home. Zhang Liang did not usher in his son-in-law, but ushered in the fierce Persian army.

A fierce battle on Chinese New Year's Eve caught the Tang army off guard. Damn big cannibals, they actually have gunpowder. After a truckload of gunpowder exploded, the city gate flew like a piece of paper. The tidal wave of the Persian army, under the cover of heavy snow, poured in.

All the Tang troops were blinded by this heavy snowfall, and no one believed that in the bitter cold of the Western Regions, someone would actually cross the wasteland and attack Almaty. Even Zhang Liang felt that such weather was not suitable for marching.

The Persians chose one of the most lax days in Almaty, and the captains failed to organize their troops, and fierce battles ensued. Even, more than half of the Tang army did not have time to put on the armor before they went to the battlefield.

Zhang Liang regretted it and gave the order to let the soldiers have fun. But now it's too late to regret it, and there is nowhere to buy regret medicine.

The soldiers near the city gate were all killed in the canteen, and all they had in their hands were chopsticks. You don't need a knife to eat dumplings!

The scimitars of the Persians slashed at their bodies, and their bodies, which had no armor to protect them, were cut at once. Bright red blood fell into the snow, and it took on an eerie purple color.

This snowy night belonged to the Persians, who slashed at everything they saw like scimitars and madmen. As long as you gasp for breath, you will inevitably be stabbed. This time it was a surprise attack, and it was decided that they would never show mercy.

Yusuf wants to annihilate as much of the opponent's living forces as possible at the first time, and when the Tang army reacts and organizes a resistance, it will be a lot of trouble.

Zhang Liang was somewhat grateful for Yusuf's military order, because the Persians were rotten and killed, which caused the Almaty people to revolt. Originally, those servant armies were ready to surrender, and whoever wanted the Persians to kill anyone they saw would be killed. Even the servants who fell to their knees on the side of the street, begging for their lives.

Many Persians also rushed to the homes of the residents, slashed and set them on fire.

Kill the Tang people, in fact, the Almaty people don't have much opinion. It's just that Almaty has another master, and everyone still has to pay taxes and serve the new master. As the hub of the East-West Silk Road, it is not the first time that Almaty has changed owners.

But the Persians killed like this, and everyone had an opinion. In the final analysis, everyone surrenders in order to live, and surrendering now is death, and not surrendering is death. Moreover, their own homes are in Almaty, and these hateful Persians do not spare even the old, weak, women and children.

Witnessing the tragic death of their loved ones under the scimitar, the Almatyians were red-eyed. Although they are cowardly philistines, each of them has a strong desire to live.

Almaty's servant army is not more than the first day, and it is not their holiday. Many of the servant army camps are still on guard. Compared with the Tang Army, where the generals could not find the generals and the generals could not find the soldiers, the situation of the servant army was much better. At the very least, they put on armor and rushed out into the streets with weapons in their hands.

It's a real life-and-death battle, and the Don, who usually takes on the main character in battle, is absent this time. But under the threat of their lives, the servant army resolutely burst out with the greatest courage.

They resisted frantically, frantically launching a counterattack against the exhausted Persian army. The two sides actually formed a tug of war in the market, and broken corpses were everywhere. So much so that by dawn, Yusuf found himself in control of only a part of the walls of Almaty. The rest of the place is completely in the hands of the Tang and their servant army.

At dawn, the Persians chose to hold out.

The three days of running have almost drained their physical strength, and the fierce battle of the night has completely drained their physical strength. Many people sat in the cold snow and fell asleep against the walls. It is difficult to say whether those who lay under the walls were asleep or dead.

The soldiers were so tired that Yusuf felt sorry for the soldiers. But now that the Tang Army is organizing a counterattack, he can only harden his heart and ask the officers to pull the soldiers up and continue to participate in the battle.

The collision of cold weapons soon turned into a competition of hot weapons.

There is fire oil on both sides, and there is fire oil as well. Fires continue to flash in the city, and explosions come and go. Both sides are leaning on the building and fighting from a distance. The dividing line between the two armies is a bombed-down house.

Inside the dwellings, both furniture and people were turned into powder by the power of explosives. On the branch of a tree not far away, there was even a large thigh hanging with a half-pulled buttocks.

Crossbow arrows became the main hunting weapon, and Zhang Liang was surprised to find that the Persians even had eight-bull crossbows. And it's the kind that can be operated by three people after improvement. If it weren't for the curly beards of those people who spoke unintelligible words. Zhang Liang almost took them for Tang Jun!

Because their equipment is almost the same as the standard equipment of the Tang Army.

Zhang Liang felt extremely surprised, the weapons and equipment of the Tang Army have always been the absolute secret of the Tang Dynasty. How come these bearded Persians have such weapons?

Those Persians even had gunpowder and kerosene, how could this be. The formula of gunpowder is not even known to him, the Duke of the Tang Dynasty.

But the rumbling explosions came out one after another, and Zhang Liang trembled in his ears when he heard it. This message must be passed on to Chang'an to know, it must be so. Otherwise, Datang will suffer huge losses.

God knows what kind of ambitions the Persians have for the Tang Dynasty.

But the airship landing field has been occupied by the Persians, and fortunately the Persians are fighting with all their might. They don't have the energy to break the monsters they can't understand!

"We're going to take the airship back!" Zhang Liang put down the binoculars and immediately ordered the recapture of the airship landing field.

"No! Now the two sides are in a stalemate, and the fight on the landing field is even more difficult to solve. They had crossbows and gunpowder in their hands, and they couldn't rush through them no matter what. Han Dewang said sadly.

As the general of Almaty, he was stationed here for five years in the Western Regions for eight years. Almaty poured his feelings, his heart's work. Now it has been destroyed by the war like this, which makes him even more resentful. He actually lost more than half of his own people overnight, and those were all veterans who had followed him for many years.

"If you can't rush out, you have to rush, you must tell Chang'an about the situation here. Otherwise, the entire Western Regions is in danger of falling. "How can Zhang Liang, who has fought all his life, not know what price he needs to pay to seize the airship landing field now.

The soldiers Zhang Liang brought to Almaty were all cavalry, and only cavalry could quickly maneuver in this place in the Western Regions. But now, the ruins have become a nightmare for the cavalry. Zhang Liang's cavalry could only transform into infantry combat. The loss of combat power is more than half.

But the situation here must be reported to Li Er, and Zhang Liang knows that he is finished. But the Zhang family still wants to continue to live in Chang'an, and Zhang Liang decided to go out for the sake of future generations.

"Handsome! The subordinates will keep you on the airship and take the airship to Tingzhou. Han Dewang said suddenly.

"Smack!" Zhang Liang gave Han Dewang a mouth with his backhand.

"If someone else was here, your Liuyang Leader would have moved long ago. You are not allowed to say anything that shakes the morale of the army, and the old man will definitely not leave Almaty and leave his brothers behind. Zhang Liang glared viciously at Han Dewang, who was beaten stupidly.

Han Dewang was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and he didn't even cover his hot face with his hands. Slapping the horse's ass on the horse's hooves is a shame for the officials.

"The subordinates are willing to lead the team to take back the landing field." Han Dewang shouted loudly.

"You don't go! Remember, you're the governor here. Your position is here to command! Zhang Juzhi, you take Lao Tzu's personal soldiers and seize the landing field. Then he took off in an airship and told His Majesty what was going on here. ”

Zhang Liang still has a little selfishness, and he can't leave. Even if he escaped from Almaty, a crime of escaping from the battlefield could have cleaned him up. That might as well be a good deal to die, and what Li Er, who was born as a commander, hated most was to run away from the battle. It's not a pity to die by yourself, and the children and grandchildren of the Zhang family still have to enjoy wealth.

And Zhang Liang was also afraid that Han Dewang, the bastard, would run away, in case he really ran away. The morale of the Almaty army will collapse almost immediately. He didn't want to end it so soon, even if he stuck to the inner city, Zhang Liang was ready to fight.

"No!" Zhang Juzhi looked at Lao Tzu and said yes. Rushed out with his own soldiers!

As soon as the soldiers in helmets and armor rushed out of their bunkers, they were attacked by a torrential rain of arrows. The arrows hit the shield with a "clanging" sound. Zhang Juzhi felt the soreness in his arms for a while, but he didn't expect the Persians' arrows to be so powerful.

It seems that the armor on his body is not strong, "Everyone be careful, use a shield to protect your body." Their crossbow arrows can shoot through their armor! When Zhang Juzhi shouted loudly, some soldiers had accidentally fallen to the ground with arrows. The soldiers, who had no shield behind them, were immediately shot like hedgehogs.

Sure enough, the armor of the Tang army could not withstand the powerful crossbow arrows.

This is also related to the distance between the two sides, a distance of 100 paces, is the time to maximize the power of the crossbow.

Zhang Juzhi didn't have time to be afraid, and continued to move forward with the people holding the big shield in the front row. The shield-bearers who were shot to death, immediately someone took his place. Raise your shield again to cover the robes behind you.

"Buzz!" Zhang Juzhi heard a scalp-tingling voice, "Eight bull crossbows......!" Before he could finish shouting, one of his own soldiers beside him had been shot through a huge crossbow with a shield. The powerful crossbow bolts pierced the bodies of the three men, and the three of them were strung together like sugar gourds, falling to the ground and howling uncontrollably.

The powerful crossbow bolts struck again, and several more of their own soldiers were shot into hedgehogs.

Zhang Juzhi's heart was about to jump out of his chest, but fortunately this was not a gunpowder crossbow. Otherwise, I would have been blown up by now!

Again, eight bull crossbows were fired, and several of their own soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

Zhang Juzhi frantically advanced more than ten steps, and found that the other party did not continue to launch. Immediately, my heart blossomed: "Brothers, they only have two eight-ox crossbows. And there are no gunpowder crossbows! Come on! After rushing through these 100 steps, you can make a name for yourself. Come on! ”

The soldiers began to charge like a tide, and advanced to only twenty or thirty paces. Suddenly, the Persians on the opposite side threw out black things, and almost at the same time, smoking things also came out of the camp of the Tang army.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" ……！

Violent explosions rang out one after another, and many people on both sides were swept up by the air waves. When it came to the distance of the grenade, both sides did not hesitate to throw it.

"Rush!" The grenade killed a lot of Don troops, but also a lot of Persians.

There were still more than a dozen steps away, and Zhang Juzhi threw away the shield in his hand like crazy. Wielding a horizontal knife in his hand, he howled like a beast and rushed towards the Persians. In the camp of the Persians, some guys in black armor also rushed out.

The Tang army, which was black and black, and the Persians who were also in black armor collided fiercely. The sound of the clash of blades, the screams of people, and the vicious cursing, the "poof" and "poof" sound of the steel knife cutting into the flesh were all mixed together.

Zhang Juzhi slashed at the opponent's armor with a knife, and the sharp horizontal knife actually did not cut through the opponent's armor. This made Zhang Juzhi very surprised, the horizontal knife in his hand was not the Tang Army's standard horizontal knife. It is a much better than the standard horizontal knife, which is a birthday gift from his father on his fifteenth birthday. Half of his reputation in the capital relied on this horizontal knife.

Unexpectedly, he couldn't cut through the armor of the Persians. It is conceivable that the standard horizontal knives of ordinary Tang troops will definitely not be able to cut through their armor.

"When!" He was also hit on the shoulder, but the opponent's scimitar did not cut through Zhang Juzhi's armor.

Zhang Juzhi's heart was slightly relaxed, and it seemed that Datang's armor was no worse than theirs.

Taking advantage of the fact that the other party was slightly stunned, the horizontal knife in Zhang Juzhi's hand stabbed the opponent's neck like lightning. The horizontal knife drilled through the gap between the armor and helmet, and the tall soldier of the other party immediately fell to the ground with all his strength. Blood flowed down the armor and continued to flow outward.

There was no time to thrash each other like they were striking iron, and the horizontal knife in Zhang Juzhi's hand turned into a sharp sword. Specifically select those thugs to carry out assassinations.

In this kind of fighting, the horizontal knife has an advantage over the scimitar. Because the horizontal knife is straight, the puncture function is very good. The scimitar in the hands of the Persians is difficult to achieve the effect of piercing.

The Persians began to be slaughtered, and the Persian crossbowmen had only light leather armor. He was not the opponent of the heavily armored warriors of the Tang Army at all, and the armor on Zhang Juzhi's body was already full of white marks.

Suddenly, a thick cloud of smoke appeared in front of him.

"your grandma!"
