Chapter 393: Talas
A month later.
"It's been three years, and we're finally back!"
In the scattered snowflakes, Yang Feng said with emotion.
Through the snowflakes, you can see a small gray castle standing in the distance, the lead-gray clouds pressing on the castle in the sky, the surrounding area is empty and mottled white, and a few flags flutter weakly at the head of the city.
This is Talus.
"Stop!"
He shouted with his hands raised.
The Chinese army beside him waved, and on the empty snowfield behind him, the two thousand mounted cavalry in five columns pulled the reins almost at the same time, and the two thousand war horses wrapped in iron armor quickly stopped with the sound of steel friction and restless neighing, and all the cavalry on horseback put down their armor and silently watched the battlefield of the bloody battle three years ago, the horses with small pennants in their hands pointed to the sky, and under the blades reflecting the cold light, two thousand banners hunted.
Behind them, twenty thousand servant cavalry flooded the snowy fields and quickly diverted to their flanks.
"Bring the wine!"
Yang Feng stretched out his hand and shouted.
The officer next to him immediately served the wine jar.
"Brothers under the Nine Springs, drink this wine first, and the next time it will be the blood of the enemy."
Yang Feng hugged the wine jar and said.
Then he smashed the jar under his feet.
"Kill!"
Then he raised his Mo knife and shouted.
After speaking, he was the first to urge the war horse, with the iron mask of the war horse spraying white mist, the horse's hooves stepped on the white of the snow, and the splashed mud and sand continued to accelerate forward, and behind him two thousand mounted cavalry were also moving forward at the same time, two thousand of the same war horses stepped on the thunderous hooves, like an iron wall towards the Talas City gradually began to accelerate, in the process of acceleration gradually formed an elongated triangle, like a sharp armor-piercing cone, with Yang Feng as the edge with an indomitable momentum, straight to the front of the Talas City.
Almost at the same time the gates opened, and a small group of horsemen rushed out of it.
Obviously, this is a negotiation.
In fact, there is no Great Food Army in Talas, and the people stationed here are the people of Shiguo, which was originally the city of Shiguo, and the king of Shiguo bowed to the Great Cannibal at the same time, but also paid tribute to the Great Tang Dynasty and was canonized by Li Longji, so they can also be said to be vassals of the Tang Dynasty, and Yang Feng, who is the general of the Tang Dynasty Broken Leaf Town, suddenly came to attack, so the Shiguo side must negotiate first, but they forgot who their opponent was, Yang Feng was not interested in negotiating with them, he would beat him if he wanted to, why do you need all that nonsense.
The envoy of the Stone Kingdom waved forward desperately surrounded by dozens of cavalry, and at the same time shouted something in his mouth, but unfortunately his voice was directly drowned out by the sound of thousands of horses galloping.
Yang Feng did not slow down in the slightest.
His 2,000 mounted cavalry also did not slow down in the slightest.
The distance between the two sides is rapidly closing.
"General, there is something to discuss!"
The messenger cried out in terror.
He waved his hands desperately and shouted hoarsely.
The cavalry accompanying him looked bad, and hurriedly turned the horse's head, but unfortunately it was too late at this time, Yang Feng and his war horse, which had accelerated to nearly forty kilometers per hour, instantly collided with the messenger, he didn't even use a weapon, the war horse wrapped in iron armor all over his body, and his face was covered with iron masks, under his urging, it was like a tank, and hit the messenger's horse fiercely.
With a painful scream, the horse that had been turning its head took a few steps back under the fierce impact, sat down on the ground at once, and threw the messenger out at the same time, and the next moment Yang Feng's war horse jumped over its head, and the hooves of the iron-nailed horses went straight into the chest of the messenger, and the torrent of mounted cavalry behind Yang Feng also drowned the dozens of cavalry at this moment, and then trampled their dead bodies under the horse's hooves, and the huge silver armor-piercing cone composed of two thousand mounted cavalry did not even stagnate at all, and continued to crash into the gate of Talus.
Soon they were within range of bows and arrows.
The feathered arrows on the city wall fell intensively, and then were invariably bounced off by the cold forging armor.
The Tang army suffered no casualties among men and horses.
In a rain of falling arrows, the massive armor-piercing cone continued to move forward.
Yang Feng on horseback suddenly jumped up, and at the same time he landed and galloped forward at a speed exceeding that of the galloping war horse, and rose from the ground at the moment before reaching the moat, falling directly into the moat that dried up in winter, and then jumped up again and instantly reached the top of the half-erected suspension bridge, and at the same time as jumping up for the third time, the silver arc of the Mo knife in mid-air slashed, and the two iron cables were cut at the same time, and the erected suspension bridge smashed down. At the moment when the drawbridge fell, his war horse stepped on the drawbridge with a neigh, and the next moment Yang Feng suddenly fell from mid-air, accurately landing on the horse's back, and rushed straight to the closed city gate with the stupid gaze of the Shiguo soldiers on the city wall, and at the moment he hit the city gate, he roared and raised the Mo knife in his hand......
He was not wearing armor.
Mingguang armor has no practical use to him except for being good-looking.
The attacks that his energy shield can't block, and the attacks that the Mingguang armor can't block either, and the attacks that the Mingguang armor can block, his energy shield can also block, so what do you need armor for? The weight of the war horse is limited, it is impossible to carry the heavy armor of the whole body and a thickened Mo knife, his Mo knife must be thickened, with his kind of crazy killing, even if it is made of stainless steel, it can't hold it, he used to be modern special, this era is not like that steel, so it must be thickened and weighted, so he simply does not wear armor to save weight to Mo Dao, the result is ......
He had a seventy-pound Mo knife.
With his roar, this Mo knife, which was almost as thick as an axe, slashed at the gap in the middle of the city gate with an arc of light, and under his huge strength, it quickly descended along the crack of the city gate, instantly cutting off the bolt behind it, and at the same time, the galloping war horse also hit the city gate, and the city gate with the bolt broken opened in response. The war horse neighed excitedly and rushed into the city of Talas, and behind Yang Feng, the torrent of steel mounted cavalry kept pouring in, continuing to use their commander as the vanguard, ramming along the streets of the city, their horses kept picking out to both sides, nailing all the enemies they encountered to the ground.
"What Gao Aocao, Shi Wansui is a joke, even Qin Shubao, Luo Shixin can only be ashamed!"
In front of the servant army formation behind, Li Xianzhong or Yang Xianzhong said with emotion.
"This is an invincible general!"
Then he said.
"Enter!"
He raised his horse and shouted.
The army of 20,000 servants immediately moved forward, and when the last mounted cavalry rushed into the city gates, Yang Xianzhong followed and rushed into the city of Talas, and behind him all the cavalry continued to pour in.
At this time, the mounted cavalry that entered the city had appeared on the city walls on both sides of the city gate, and they urged the war horses to rely on the protection of the heavy armor of the whole body, and divided to both sides along the city wall, constantly ramming forward, constantly knocking the chaotic enemy troops off the city wall, or picking them down with horses, those unlucky stone soldiers, almost desperately, brandished their weapons in their hands, and attacked these terrible enemies in vain, their swords and spears and sharp arrows were constantly making scratches on the solid cold-forged armor, But it could not hurt the soldiers and horses of the Tang Army under the protection of the armor in the slightest.
The latter killed them with impunity.
The steel horse kept piercing the chests of the soldiers of the Stone Kingdom, and then shook them off the city, and the horizontal knives, which were also tempered, were constantly cutting off their heads.
Soon the people of the stone country collapsed.
They were so frightened that they would rather jump off the walls themselves than face these terrible enemies.
And when the fierce battle on the city walls began, the influx of servants in the city quickly dispersed and swept along the streets, slashing all the enemies they saw, taking their heads as trophies, roaring and killing in the city of Talas, trampling any stone people who dared to stand in their way under the hooves of horses, smearing the red blood all over the city, and paving the bloody roads with dead bodies.
In the same way, the people of Shiguo, who resisted in the city, quickly collapsed, kneeling on the side of the road in terror, throwing down all their weapons, crying and begging for mercy......
Of course, it depends on the mood of those servants.
In fact, those servant armies are generally not so kind, they have already killed the mercy, almost a living creature will cut a knife first, when the 20,000 servant army all enter the city, this Talas city will officially change hands, the entire siege took less than an hour, and the soldiers of the stone country who defended the city either died or surrendered, and they did not even escape.
They had no chance of escaping.
This small city is only two or three miles from north to south, and there are only two city gates, it is a desert and a high mountain, there is no need for other city gates, two north and south are enough, and the armored cavalry led by Yang Feng moved forward at full speed along the street that runs through the city, and he arrived at the south gate in more than two minutes, and he himself sat on the south gate wall, which is an insurmountable mountain, so how can those defenders escape? Even if you jumped out of the city wall and didn't fall to your death, did you still expect to run past those pursuing cavalry on two legs?
"General, behead two thousand, capture three thousand, and about ten thousand inhabitants of the city! In addition, there are more than 100 big cannibals, who are estimated to have stayed here to monitor the people of Shiguo. ”
Xu Hui carried the bloody horizontal knife and walked to Yang Feng's side and said excitedly.
And then......
"Slaughter!"
Yang Feng sat on the wall of the south gate, looked at the Talas who was still in chaos, and then said lightly: "All the men who are taller than the wheels are not left to kill, and it can be regarded as a tribute to the souls of the brothers in the sky, by the way, pick one who can speak, let him go to Tuozhi City to tell the king of Shiguo, and say that he will surrender within half a month, and ask himself to attach the land to the Tang Dynasty, as for how to deal with the saint, whether to call him to Chang'an or stay here to be his governor of the prefecture, this depends on the decision of the saint, but if he dares not to surrender, Then I will slaughter city by city, all the way to the city of Tuozhi! ”10
