Chapter 490: There is an offensive and defensive battle of death and no life

The Changyuan Tang Army camp has been violently bombarded by the catapult of the Sui army for more than an hour, the two breakthroughs in the north and south selected by the Sui army, each collapsed out of a gap hundreds of steps long, in the face of the Sui army's overwhelming stones, whether it is Hou Junji, who is responsible for the defense of the southern camp, or Liu Hongji in the north, they all have a sense of powerlessness, not that the soldiers do not do their best, in fact, everyone is working hard to repair the gap, but the stones launched by the Sui army's catapult are like torrential rain, continuous! Asking the soldiers to repair the camp wall was purely for them to make senseless sacrifices, and they simply adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards the camp wall, letting the Sui army smash it at will, and letting the soldiers sit on the ground outside the shooting range!

The generals of the Tang Army were holding a sullen breath in their chests, planning to fight a fierce white-knuckle battle with the Sui army, as long as the two armies were entangled together, the catapult would naturally have no way to exert its might.

"Knock knock knock......" Just when the second general was ruthless, there was a huge drum sound from the Sui army. As enemies for many years, Hou Junji and Liu Hongji heard that it was the Sui army that ordered the catapult to attack!

Sure enough, hundreds of catapults slowly stopped attacking, and the battlefield became quiet, Hou Junji knew that the next moment was the official attack of the Sui army, he pulled out his sword, and ordered to the deputy general Li Gaoqian: "General Li, the Sui army is about to attack the camp, and you will command the soldiers to resist the first round of attacks of the Sui army, and they must be allowed to go and not return." ”

"The general can rest assured!"

Li Gaoqian Hongsheng responded to the order, the Sui and Tang armies have been facing each other here for nearly a month, there is no big war, but it does not mean that everyone will coexist peacefully, the Sui army in the active position has been mobilizing their cavalry these days, and has been attacking and harassing the Tang army day and night, in the face of this rogue tactics, both Li Shimin and the generals under his account are very annoyed, you don't care about him, and I'm afraid that they will play really, if you set up defenses, he won't come at all. He once sent cavalry out to lure these Sui troops into the finale, but the Sui army was quite familiar with this set, and sent fewer people, so let him eliminate them cleanly, and if there were more, he would not appear at all, and he was even lured to hunt and kill. In the face of the outrageous and shameless conspiracy of the Sui army, the Tang army needed to work hard and make a big move to deploy defenses, and as for the shameless Sui army, it only needed to send dozens or hundreds of cavalry to beat gongs and drums, which was too cost-effective. This also made the Tang army generals who had been harassed by the attack want to do it quickly, and tonight is an opportunity to take revenge, even the old and steady Li Gaoqian is no exception, after he received the order, he gave the order to fight.

Five thousand Tang troops quickly lined up, five hundred of them in a row, a total of ten rows, five feet apart from each other, murderous and awe-inspiring, like a copper wall and an iron wall, waiting for the Sui army to come to die.

"Dang!"

The Sui army on the opposite side heard a distant and crisp bell at the right time, and when Tang Jun heard this, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and subconsciously tightened the blade in his hand. However, the Sui army they were expecting did not attack, but they heard a "buzzing" explosion.

Heaven and earth were filled with a huge hum at this moment, and nearly a thousand cross-headed giant arrows almost crossed a distance of four hundred paces between breaths, and slammed into the wall of the Tang soldiers.

"Poof! Burst! Burst! Burst! Burst! ”

"Uh~"

In the sound of a series of sharp weapons tearing apart the body, the entire defense line seemed to be ploughed by pears, and countless Tang soldiers didn't even have a chance to react, their bodies were torn apart by the fierce cross arrows, and some of the corpses were still intact, but more people's bodies were directly cut into two pieces by the huge force, and what was even worse was that some people were strung together by huge arrow shafts, and they had not yet died together, making a tragic cry that made the scalp explode.

Hou Junji and Li Gaoqian, who were standing on the control tower, only to feel a few violent shaking under their feet, and when they looked down, the two of them gasped in unison, and a large area in the camp was already shrouded in blood mist.

In the blood mist, screams came and went, and in this round alone, the lives of 2,000 soldiers were swallowed up by the terrifying giant arrow.

More than 2,000 soldiers, for the Tang army, which still has 120,000 soldiers, is naturally not much, but the shock brought by this tragic scene is fatal, and it directly shatters the military spirit and morale that the Tang army has accumulated with great difficulty. More than 2,000 people died at this moment, and if they come a few more times, won't the whole army have to be wiped out cleanly? How else is it possible to achieve the ultimate victory?

Sui Jun's hand is quite beautiful, more intimidating than the vigorous catapult, because the catapult has appeared on the battlefield for too long, although the power is great, but it is a known thing, people understand, the fear of him is greatly reduced, and this giant arrow is undoubtedly a new unknown thing, for this thing, people will instinctively have a sense of fear, not to mention, this thing is not a decoration, it caused death and injury like hell as soon as it appeared, who can not be afraid? An unspeakable depression enveloped everyone's hearts, and some people subconsciously dodged.

"This strange crossbow is terrifying, it must be difficult to reload......" Hou Junji moved his lips, and was about to order the soldiers and horses to go out of the city and destroy them before the other party could exert their power again.

"Don't mess with yourself!"

Li Gaoqian saw Hou Junji's resolute expression, and hurriedly shouted in a deep voice: "This kind of strange crossbow is only fired one round, whether the loading time is long or short, no one knows, if the craftsmen of the Sui Dynasty solve the problem that it is not easy to fill large bed crossbows, we will send troops at this time, I am afraid that Yang Shan will be in the arms." Also, look at the cavalry of the opposing side! ”

Hou Junji hurriedly looked to the sides, but saw the cavalry of the Sui army cruising on the side, eyeing the direction of the big camp. His face gradually turned cold, and he said, "It's just that the morale of my army has made that strange crossbow gone, and there is no way to go on like this." ”

"Now we have no other way," Li Gaoqian shook his head, the strange crossbow was too far away from their camp, whether it was the catapult or the bed crossbow in the army, they couldn't reach it, and now they could only defend passively.

Hou Junji thought for a moment and said, "It's true that the power of the strange crossbow is great; But the killing range of the crossbow arrow is actually not wide, the reason why it is so tragic is that we mistakenly thought that the Sui army would attack immediately, put up a defensive formation, and the crowd was too dense and caught off guard, which caused such a tragic result! You can order our soldiers to retreat a little and spread the formation at the same time. ”

"The general has a point!"

Li Gaoqian saw that the soldiers below were constantly trembling, frowned, and solemnly suggested: "The fighting spirit of these soldiers has completely collapsed, they are no longer reliable, if the Sui army attacks, I am afraid they will scatter in a hurry, we should immediately replace a group of soldiers, and at the same time, it is recommended that the king of Jin place these people alone, so as not to bring panic to the whole army." ”

"That's it." Hou Junji agreed.

The two of them had a good approach, but Yang Shanhui obviously wouldn't give them time to calmly rotate the soldiers, after the giant crossbow was launched, the slave soldiers who served as the death squad had consciously killed the Tang army camp, because the bell rang was not only an order to launch a giant crossbow, but also an order for the slave soldiers who were cruising on horseback to attack the camp.

The conventional battle is to use heavy equipment such as catapults to destroy the camp fence and seize people's hearts, and then the siege soldiers are pressed under the cover of the archers, and the defending side will send troops to block the gap, everyone knows this process, Hou Junji and Li Gaoqian are caught in the established routine, so that Yang Shanhui will be ruthlessly yin.

The status of the giant crossbow in Yang Shanhui's mind is not how much it can hurt the enemy, but how much it can take away the fighting spirit of the Tang army, causing them to be unable to resist.

At this time, the soldiers of the Tang Army who witnessed the power of the giant crossbow were already terribly afraid, and when Hou Junji and Li Gaoqian issued the order to change troops, they were all released for a while, like wild wolves, and ran backwards like a desperate person, with many people and narrow passages.

Hou Junji is also an experienced veteran, he knew that he was restless just now and lost his opinion, and Li Gaoqian's suggestion made him feel like 'a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw', and subconsciously obeyed the arrangement, resulting in a big mistake and regret it in his heart, but at this moment he didn't even have time to scold, and his face changed greatly and roared: "The spearman is on top!" ”

Thousands of pikemen lined up and completely sealed off the escape space of the 'routed soldiers', and the scene suddenly became even more chaotic, and many people shouted in fear for help. But Hou Junji turned a deaf ear, he knew that the best way to deal with the first wave of cavalry was to make the cavalry lose its amazing impact, and these defeated soldiers who had lost their fighting spirit were the best human shields.

At this time, the slave soldiers who served in the Sui army had also been killed, and the distance of hundreds of steps was not much different from a few hundred steps for the slave soldiers who were good at riding.

At this time, in order to eliminate the slave nationality with military merits, for the sake of the Great Sui 'nationality' that can let themselves and their descendants live a normal life, a fierce pride burned in their hearts, wielded the blade in their hands, and killed Tang Ying with a fierce and fearless death.

The horses roared and roared, not to mention the routs, even the pikemen who did not know what was were also intimidated by the indomitable ferocity of the cavalry, but the soldiers in the front row were blocked by the routs and could not advance, and the soldiers behind pushed them forward, so they had to instinctively raise their spears, close their eyes and let out a roar.

"Boom!"

The slave soldiers rushed into the enemy group with devastating power, the rout soldiers were crushed, countless corpses were knocked out sideways, countless people were trampled by the war horses, and they became meat and mud without even screaming, many helmets and broken spears flew into the sky, and many people were knocked into the air, waving their limbs and wailing helplessly in mid-air.

The slave soldiers continued to attack, causing groups of people to be cut down like rice, and the corpses were blurred with blood and blood all over the ground.

At this time, the two armies are intertwined!

The Tang army had no way to retreat, and the slave soldiers also had no way to retreat, and the slave soldiers who grew up on horseback knew that once they retreated, they might stop advancing, and they would inevitably turn into mud. The only way to survive is to charge forward in a ferocious way, and only by passing through all obstacles in front of you can you avoid the fierce collision of your comrades who are closely behind. And mutilating the war horse and letting its speed and impact potential be used to the fullest is undoubtedly the simplest and most effective way.

The slave soldiers all have this heart, and the blades in their hands have become a sharp weapon to hurt the war horses, but the Tang Army is not the first target of their war blades. Because of this, the cavalry's powerful charging power and amazing power were multiplied.

Once people don't even want their lives, the effect is naturally extremely amazing, they get together, like a big ship riding the wind and waves, with an invincible momentum, life and death in the crowded Tang army to open a bloody road!

The scene was extremely tragic, with heavy casualties on both sides.

Human life, at this time, becomes the least valuable thing.
