"General, the Tang army is attacking the city!"

The next morning, it was still dark.

Ziyad, one of Abu's henchmen, hurried into the governor's palace and woke Abu from his sleep.

As soon as his eyes opened, Ziad's hurried voice came from his ears: "General, there are tens of thousands of Tang troops attacking outside the city, and the leading general is the former battalion commander of the Tang army." ”

The Don army took the initiative to attack the city?

When Abu heard this, he immediately lifted the bedding and got out of bed: "Go, follow me to the city." ”

He only made the decision to withdraw his troops last night, and as soon as he began to arrange the retreat, the Tang army bit up.

This is clearly not to let him leave!

As the two of them hurriedly left the house and climbed the East Gate Tower, they looked up and saw a group of people outside the city setting up a formation outside the city. It was only fifty feet from the city gate, but the Arab heavy archers could not help the distance.

"General, it is difficult for our bows and arrows to attack the Don Army."

Ziad looked at the city with a solemn expression, there is no need to doubt the combat strength of the Tang army, and now that the other party is calling for battle, I am afraid that he will not easily give up the advantage of strong troops and attack the city.

Because the Tang army's formation outside the city was very clear, those crossbowmen with long-range attack power were all standing on a sandbag mound that had just been erected.

The height of the sandbags is even slightly higher than the city walls.

Just as Ziad finished speaking, the Qin Rui crossbowmen outside the city had already raised their hands and made a shooting posture. Thousands of sharp arrows came straight in the direction of the city gatehouse, and the sharpness and speed of the armor-piercing arrows were much better than those of the Arab bows and arrows.

"Puff Puff"

Even if there were large shield-eating soldiers around with shields to resist, there were still many large shields that were shot through, and from outside the city, you could see a group of people lying down.

Without giving the Big Shield Eater a chance to make up his defenses, the second round of firing followed.

Luo Shixin knew very well what his mission was, so even if he was sure to storm the city gate, he did not order the army to press on it, but took all the sandbags and put down the formation, and used a strong crossbow to force the city of Talas.

In this way, if the great food soldiers in the city of Talas defeated him first, it would be delusional to retreat safely.

"General, are we going out of the city to fight?"

Ziyad narrowly escaped a stray arrow, and the cat leaned over to ask Abu beside him, but Abu was visibly hesitant.

went out of the city to fight, and it was in the hands of the Tang army.

If you can't shrink back, you can only be beaten, and you can't fight back, which will definitely hurt your morale.

The dilemma made Abu hesitate for a moment, and after a few breaths, he said: "The Tang army only has crossbowmen who can pose a slight threat to us, so leave him alone for the time being, and wait until nightfall." ”

Then Abu departed under the cover of the soldiers.

The Tang army was pressing urgently, and his retreat plan could only be advanced.

………

The sun sets, the moon rises, and night falls.

Luo Shixin's armed guards squatted outside the city for a whole day, and the crossbowmen alone fired no less than 20,000 crossbow arrows.

At this time, the Arabs were not good at using crossbows, even if they got crossbow arrows, it would be useless, but from the afternoon, Luo Shixin did not let Qin Rui's crossbowmen continue to attack, and his soldiers and horses ate some dry food in batches to eat food, maintaining their physical strength and waiting for the big battle that would come at any time.

Exposed to the scorching sun all day long, if you want to say that you are not tired, Luo Shixin himself does not believe it. But when the army went out, there were more difficult battles than this, so Luo Shixin had no intention of leading the army back to the camp.

Unlike Li Guang, who has always been sympathetic to soldiers, Luo Shixin is not only ruthless to the enemy on the battlefield, but also ruthless to his own soldiers and horses. But it was also this cold heart that was the reason why Mo Xiaobai dared to hand over Wu Wei to him.

Looking at the city in front of him calmly, Luo Shixin believed that if the other party changed, it would definitely be tonight. In other words, if the enemy army does not evacuate after several hours outside the city, he will also order an attack.

"Is there any news from the sentinels sent to investigate the other city gates?"

"No movement."

Zhang He, Gao Lan, Yu Dayou and other generals were also around Luo Shixin at the moment, and the former shook his head slightly: "It looks like letting our scouts roam around outside the city." ”

After hearing this, Luo Shixin squinted his eyes and said: "Let the soldiers all fight their spirits, and the big war is about to begin." ”

Zhang He didn't ask much, although he was a little weaker in bravery, he was also a veteran general, and he understood that at this moment, the calmer the waves, the more he was secretly killing.

The big cannibals in the city no longer care if there are Tang Tanma around, and they are obviously ready for the last time.

Most probably, it is a reverse assault.

"Do you really not ask the lord for help?" Gao Ran has followed the southern expedition and the northern war over the years, and his strength and vision are much broader than at the beginning, and he felt the pressure of the coming wind and rain, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"The Lord has ordered us to be crucified here, and this is our task." Luo Shixin replied very simply and rejected Gao Ran's proposal.

Of course, this task will be very difficult, but if it is not difficult, why should he be in person?

Asking for help from the lord at this moment will inevitably disrupt the lord's other plans.

In the interval between a few people communicating in a low voice, groups of soldiers in Talas City were also assembled.

In the direction of the east gate, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses lined up.

As the two gates were pushed open at the same time, the Great Eater soldiers poured out of the city like a tide.

"Crossbowmen ready, release the arrows!"

Luo Shixin, who had been waiting outside the city for a long time, immediately shouted, and the military order was delivered without delaying for a second.

The distance of 100 steps is actually very close.

There was only one round of shooting, and the two sides were already close to each other.

Luo Shixin, Zhang He, Gao Lan, and Yu Dayou were all brave generals, charging forward in the melee, each leading the soldiers and horses to attack, and soon suppressed the big food soldiers who went out of the city.

Half an hour later, the Great Eater Soldiers failed to make a surprise attack and began to retreat.

More than 1,000 corpses were left behind, and they turned around the city neatly.

Luo Shixin did not pursue, looked at the slowly closing city gate, waved his hand and said: "Send the wounded soldiers back to the camp and show the battle situation to the lord, the big cannibal seems to be deliberately trying to wear down our fighting spirit." ”

"Yes, Dashi still has 100,000 soldiers, and if he really wants to break through the siege, he won't just send more than 10,000 people to die." Yu Dayou nodded in agreement, and said with a smile: "This kind of trick is not surprising, but it is hard for us, and I am afraid that there will be no end tonight." ”

"Then it depends on how long they can make a fuss."

Zhang He came over with a long knife at this time and said: "The results of the first battle are not bad, and the captains counted the soldiers, and only one hundred and sixty-two people were killed. ”

With a battle loss of nearly 1 to 10, and in the case of staying up for the whole day, Zhang He, as a general of the military guard, has reason to be proud.

An hour later, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses came out of the east gate.

The two sides fought again for nearly half an hour, and the Great Eater soldiers retreated back into the city.

At three o'clock, the third assault.

Three quarters, the fourth assault.

Yu Dayou's words were quickly confirmed, and almost every hour the big food went out of the city to attack.

Repeatedly fighting and fighting, it is indeed challenging the nerves of Luo Shixin and the Mengke soldiers.

Until, late at night, ugly.

The gates are wide open!

However, the big food soldiers and horses that rushed out this time are no longer just 10,000 people.
