Chapter 175: I regret it
When people arrive on the battlefield, it's like money in a casino. Back then, under Luoyang City, facing Dou Jiande's tiger and wolf army, it was actually a gamble. With more than 100 people, he dared to rush to the military formation of tens of thousands of people, not to gamble on anything.
That time, Li Er won a lot of money, and the nascent Tang Empire has since gained a firm foothold. Li Er himself also became the Tiance general of the Tang Dynasty to open his teeth and build a mansion, and the limelight even overshadowed his brother Li Jiancheng, who was the prince, for a while.
From the time the Turks launched the charge, Li Er knew that he had won. In a lonely city besieged by heavy troops, he can have the courage to send soldiers out to fight in the field, and only Li Er can make such a decision in the Tang Dynasty. The scheduled time for the attack is approaching, and it is necessary to kill as much of the living force of the Turks as possible, preferably the elite. The more you kill, the less trouble you will have after the army is encircled.
For the attack of cold weapons, the Turks were fully prepared. Those who have a large shield are protected by a large shield, and those who do not have a large shield are also protected by a leather shield or even a thick wooden plank. The overwhelming rain of arrows did not actually cause much harm to the Turks.
At the back of the formation was a group of priests dressed in colorful clothes with various feathers on their heads. Li Er was a little puzzled, could it be that with the blessing of the priest, he was not afraid of swords and axes?
The most ferocious enemy was the thousands of cavalry rushing to the front. These are the elite of the elite, the warrior of the warrior. Just look at the golden wolf flag in the middle of the team to know that these people are here to play with their lives. The Golden Wolf is full of dead soldiers, and many veterans are willing to fight the most ferocious beasts than to face the Golden Wolf Rider.
Their riding skills were very skilled, and one by one they hid their bodies under the belly of their horses and rushed into battle. Wrong! After careful observation, Li Er found that in fact, the blindfolded war horse at the front of the Golden Wolf Banner actually had no knights on it. They had flaming ropes tethered to their tails, and the intense pain caused the horses to gallop.
The golden wolf rider behind was very scattered, and when it was close to the range of the Eight Bull Ballista Snake, the people on the horse were gone, only the war horses galloped over, and the places where these galloping war horses ran would leave blood stains all the way, and those dead soldiers who were lying on the belly of the war horses rolled on the ground like a ball a few times, then stood up and walked towards the Tang army formation.
A war horse caught fire, followed by a second, a third...... The four or five thousand war horses carried by three thousand people finally turned into a large piece of monstrous flames, screaming and rushing towards the Tang army. The thunderous sound of horses' hooves, coupled with the neighing of trembling earth horses, made even a veteran of a hundred battles take two steps back.
Suddenly, a horse fell to the ground. Then the galloping horses fell on the way to the charge. There was a burst of smoke and dust in front of the Tang army, and people could only hear the wailing of war horses covered in flames in the smoke and dust.
"His grandmother's, the Tang people laid out a lot of gravel in front of the battle. The war horse was blindfolded, and couldn't avoid those large and small stones. As long as one is kicked, the horse will lose its balance. If you fall at such a speed, the horse's neck will be broken. Ashina Sima stomped his feet and said hatefully.
"There must be a triangular nail, which Yun Hao often did when he was in Shuofang. Damn, I didn't expect Li Shimin to play this hand. Qibi Heli, who was standing beside Tuli, said helplessly.
"At this time, is it useful to say this? The Golden Wolf Riders will definitely fulfill their mission, as they are the finest descendants of the Golden Family. Jie yelled in an unquestionable tone.
Everyone was shut, the king of the steppe was angry, and it was better not to provoke the king's patience at this time.
Scattered stones and scattered triangular nails could not stop the footsteps of the golden wolf riding. They shouted and rushed towards the Tang army's military formation with hideous faces. Jieli is right, they are all real dead soldiers. And one by one, they are skilled in short-distance sprints, and the speed is faster than that of war horses.
The crossbow arrows on the head of the city were so dense that there were always some Turks with round shields who could pass through the barbed wire fence to the front of the army. These Turks are extremely brave, they will throw away their round shields when they rush into the military formation, and they will slash in the military formation with their knives in both hands, and they are very agile, and they can avoid the accumulation of crossbow arrows in a short distance, and they can see these guys rushing left and right in the military formation. Hou Jun gathered his heart and rushed forward.
Hou Junji struggled to deal with the two golden wolf warriors in front of him, a short spear flew over, nailed into the waist and ribs of a Turk, the sharp tip of the spear with a large canopy of blood drilled out of his abdomen, Hou Junji took the opportunity to swing the knife to cut off the head of another Turk who was screaming. The breath is undecided. I heard the whining sound of horns behind me, and Lai Shun'er's silly smiling face.
Qi Biao and Lai Shun'er were military doctors beside Li Er, and they knew that Hou Junji had slipped out and worked hard. Put on your armor and follow him. It's no different from when you were fighting in the streets. In their view, war is another form of group fighting. As long as they follow their brothers, they will dare to break through the sky.
Qi Biao made a "clanging" sound, and the armor of the burning bag made him a feather arrow attractor, and the continuous bow and arrow shot him in the chest, almost making him unable to stand. The quality of the Yun family's armor is guaranteed. If it weren't for the Yun family's armor, the current Qi Biao would be no different from a hedgehog.
After being hit by an arrow on his face armor, Qi Biao had to spit out two of his teeth. That's it, don't forget to throw the short spear in your hand to save Hou Junji.
"Boom", "boom", "boom......", "boom", "boom" continuous explosions, making people's ears buzz. A lot of people's ears are bleeding, and the conductor at this time is his mother's. Ashina's voice was split, but he couldn't even hear his shout.
Li Er on the city wall finally made a move, and the dense trebuchets were filled with large gunpowder shells. The continuous explosions came one after another, and the scene of flesh and blood was as shocking as yesterday.
The ten largest trebuchets were hung with huge leather bags, and the red flag in Sheng Yanshi's hand waved. Ten hundred-pound skins were thrown out, and the skins hit the Turkic soldiers, and under the action of inertia, the already not very strong skins immediately fell apart. The Turkic soldiers were surprised to find a strange smell of liquid coming out of their skins.
Ashina smelled that smell, and his eyes immediately shrank to the size of a pin's nose. Grabbing a frightened warhorse, he rushed out faster than a rabbit. His guards stared at their master with wide eyes, this was the first time Ashina had escaped on the battlefield.
A powder bomb was thrown at the place where the oil bomb was broken, and the smoke had not yet dispersed. Orange flames had risen into the air, the earth had turned into a burning sea, and hundreds of Turkic soldiers had been engulfed in flames. That place was full of soldiers scurrying with flames and screaming.
It's miserable! is so miserable that Jieli can no longer describe the cruelty in words, he is a hard-hearted person. At this time, I didn't dare to take a second look at that place.
The air was distorted by the heat wave, so the scene Li Er saw was distorted. Look at the people who are in pain, slashing each other with their blades, biting with their hands and teeth. Li Er looked away, he decided that if he saw too much of this kind of scene, people's psychology would become distorted.
Large swaths of the Turks fell in the smoke of gunpowder, and the huge explosion and the burning oil bombs quickly formed a vacuum behind the charging Turks. The Turks, who had lost their support, became panicked in an instant.
Except for the first few rows of Turkic soldiers, the rest of the Turks were covered by a rain of arrows that had fallen from the city. The eight-ox crossbows were carrying small bombs. After a bang, three or five people would lie in a pool of blood and moan and wail.
When the formation becomes chaotic for a moment, the power of the rain of arrows will be brought into play. Those who were shot by arrows fell as if they were harvesting wheat, and the Turks, who were superior in numbers, quickly became weak.
Hou Junji felt that his front suddenly became relaxed, and those guys with knives slashing left and right suddenly became fewer. So much so that he had a feeling of invincibility.
He reached out and slashed the Turk in leather armor, and then threw his short spear and shot the other man in the chest. He rolled forward and dodged the spear stabbed from behind, and when he stood up, the knife in his hand had already grazed the man's neck.
After about a stick of incense, there were no more Turks on the entire front who could stand up. Through the thick smoke of gunpowder, Hou Junji did not see a single non-commissioned soldier of the Turkic coalition who charged.
Jieli's heart was dripping blood, although there were many Xue Yantuo people, Tuyuhun people and Zhaowu Jiu soldiers who had just rushed into battle. But the three thousand golden wolf rode on it, but it was the sharpest tip of the Turkic war knife. Now that the tip of the knife is broken, none of the best disciples of the three thousand Ashina family have returned.
Suddenly, a war horse emerged from the smoke, and the knight on the horse waved his hand at Jieli. Slipped back into the smoke of gunfire, and for a moment Jie Li thought he was hallucinating.
Ashina controlled the crazy war horse, and a Haidilao Moon picked up the golden wolf flag that fell to the ground.
"Golden Wolf Ride!" Ashina roared, and the golden wolf banner in his hand charged towards the strict Tang army formation. A charge of one man!
Countless crossbow arrows shot into his body and the warhorse's body, and the galloping warhorse quickly fell to the ground. The golden wolf flag, which was stained with blood, fell into the blood mud on the ground again. The dark red blood stained the golden wolf flag red, and soon the cold wind blew and the blood froze on it.
A Turk walked into battle with a white flag, a Turkic who spoke fluent Chang'an Mandarin. "Give us back the Golden Wolf Flag, spare you."
Hou Junji took a closer look at this guy, and he wanted to ask. When you get to this point, is it appropriate for you to be so confident? With a wave of the horizontal knife in his hand, the human head flew up. The hot blood that burst out of the neck covered the golden wolf flag again.
Regardless of the body that fell to the ground, Hou Junji picked up the golden wolf flag behind him. He proudly waved at the Turkic military formation, and then inserted himself upside down in front of the Tang army's military formation.
"Wow......!" The Turks are going crazy, Ashnasimo is going crazy, Qibihe is going crazy, and Tuli is going crazy. The most important thing is that Jieli is going crazy too.
The despicable Tang people not only killed the messenger, but also humiliated the Golden Wolf Banner. At this time, Jieli regretted that he didn't dismantle the man named Zhang Liang yesterday.
"Warriors of the Turks, warriors of the Ashina family. Are your bowstrings rotten, and are your scimitars curled? If not, I command you in the honor of the Ashina family. Rush forward and recapture the Golden Wolf Banner. Jieli pulled out the scimitar in his waist, and the Turkic coalition army pointed at the scimitar rushed towards the Tang army.
Hou Junji's actions clearly angered them, and they stepped on the charred corpse, stepping on the robes of blood madmen rushed forward. Let the violent explosion blow up into the sky, and let the fire oil that falls into the sky ignite the whole body. Allowing the scythe of death to reap their lives mercilessly, they only need to rush up and hack a Tang man to death.
As the most hated key figure, Hou Junji was stabbed in the shoulder, and then he was stabbed in the chest. He opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and by the way, he sent the horizontal knife in his hand into the enemy's stomach.
I regret that I just provoked the Turks so much for Mao. Now more than 100,000 people have gone berserk, and the consequence is likely to be that 15,000 of his brothers will die with these 100,000 Turks. He wants to live very much, and he wants to be rich in the world. He really didn't want to die!
After almost being pierced through the chest with a spear, Hou Junji was kicked to the ground. A Turkic man as strong as a bull rushed up and slashed down with a scimitar in his hand. They hated this guy who humiliated the Golden Wolf Banner, and if they took his head to the Khan, they would surely receive the richest reward.
A black shadow lightning rushed on Hou Junji's body, Qi Biao felt a chill in his back, and then a pain in his heart. This time, the Yun family's armor couldn't protect him, the armor on his back was cut open, and the wound inside was blurred with flesh and blood.
"Biaozi!" Hou Junji roared, but he only saw Qi Biao vomiting blood and couldn't speak.
With a swing of the sword, he cut off one of the Turkic man's legs. Raise the horizontal knife and insert it into the lower body in a falling position. The horizontal knife did not reach the hilt, and the Turkic strong man opened his mouth, but the tip of the knife was exposed. The bulging eyeballs didn't wait to close, and they ushered in Lai Shun'er's flail.
Li Er's heart was in his throat, and the Tang army under the city was in danger. But the trebuchets on the castle tower, the eight-ox crossbow and other long-range weapons are already in full operation. After all, there are more than 100,000 people in the city, not more than 100,000 sheep.
Jumping onto his horse with his scimitar brandish, he was going to lead his guards to charge him personally. paid a heavy price, and today he said that he would enter Lanzhou City and cut off Li Shimin's head.
Behind him came the sound of horses' hooves, and the sound of sudden shouting had been crossed. "Khan, it's not good! The Tang Army launched an attack from behind us, a lot of people! ”
