Chapter 56: The Battle of Niangzi Pass VI
After returning to the princess's mansion, he changed into Xiaomi No. 3, and put on a battle armor for Huahua and began to run in the tacit understanding with Huahua. This time with Huahua, you must be the most stylish man on the battlefield! can't be like the Battle of Chang'an, Li Shimin stole the limelight!
May 14, sunny, it is appropriate to kill, climb the city, and loot. The chief wizard of Jieli prayed sincerely in front of the wolf god for the auspicious day that countless geniuses had sought.
The Turkic vanguard was formed by 10,000 warriors from the headquarters and 20,000 warriors from other tribes. Among them, the first wave of 5,000 vanguard troops, with a huge shield for every twenty people, protected themselves tightly, abandoned their beloved war horses, carried ropes and grappling hooks, and stepped on the drumbeat of the attack to march towards Niangzi Pass step by step.
The lady closed the eight-ox crossbow and was ready to go. The commander silently calculated the distance of the Turks in his heart, and when they had entered the effective range of three hundred paces, the red flag in his right hand was thrown down fiercely, and the special whistle in his mouth made a sharp sound. Then a hundred and fifty arrows burst through the air. However, the expected situation did not arise, and the thick arrows shot at the huge Turkic shield could only be embedded in it, but could not effectively penetrate. Only a few unlucky arrows pierced the shield, but the chances were very few and far between, and most of them only shook the shield a few times before it became a decorative shield and was firmly embedded in the shield.
Dou Xianniang was shocked to see it, and she didn't believe in evil and let two waves be launched. As a result, the three rounds of crossbow arrows only killed ten unlucky Turks at most, and the protective power of the giant shield can be seen. Dou Xianniang hurriedly reported the matter to Princess Pingyang. But Princess Pingyang disagreed: "There are too few of these people, when there are more of them, let's use secret weapons." General Dou, you continue to command the crossbow arrows, but don't consume too much, just do whatever you want. ”
Dou Xianniang left suspiciously, although she was a little worried about the safety of Niangziguan, but she trusted Princess Pingyang very much in her heart, since the princess said that there was a secret weapon to deal with the Turks, that is, there is, as long as she obeys the arrangement. Returning to his position, he began to slow down the frequency of fire from the eight-bull crossbow.
Jieli saw the effect of the giant shield from afar, so he ordered the whole army to attack! 50,000 pioneer warriors held high the giant shield and slowly marched towards Niangzi Pass; Another 5,000 men followed with trebuchets; Dozens of wooden ladders were also barred; There are countless cable hooks. Rushing to the walls of the city with the sound of war drums.
Princess Pingyang was still calm and calm, and ordered Chai Shao to move 500 barrels of fire oil and 50 barrels of unknown liquid marked with a "〇 well" to the city. He also asked Dou Xianniang to send someone to remove the ordinary eight-bull crossbow arrows, and began to replace the special arrows tied with a large ball of cotton wool behind the arrow, and the arrowhead was also coated with a special yellow-white unknown substance made by literature and art.
Just when the first wave of Turkic siege soldiers arrived at the city and began to try to climb upward, the main force of the Turkic vanguard also entered the range of the Eight Bull Crossbows.
Princess Pingyang shook her hand, and ordered the flag officer to immediately wave the small red flag in his hand. The arrows soaked in the "well" shot at the rear of the Turks without hesitation. At the moment when the arrow shot into the giant shield, a burst of green light flashed, instantly igniting the cotton wool on the arrow full of diesel fuel, and the diesel fuel burned by inertia was thrown everywhere. Under a series of ten waves of fixed-point full coverage and no dead ends, the 50,000 Turkic pioneers were successfully trapped in the fire.
Before the Turks could react, countless fire oil was sprinkled on the city wall, pouring cold on the crowded Turkic soldiers under the city. Chai Shao unscrupulously threw a flaming torch downward......
Half of the eight-oxen crossbow was removed and replaced with a small light trebuchet, a distance of about a hundred paces, enough to throw fire oil on the heads of half of the Turkic soldiers. Not to mention that the city has already prepared a state-of-the-art giant trebuchet, which can deliver objects within 500 catties in various postures to any location within 500 steps.
The oil was thrown into the Turkic array as if it were not for money, and the eight-ox crossbow was again ignited in a planned way. The fate of 50,000 Turkic pioneers has been decided! Die!
Zhao Deyan had already been notified by Princess Pingyang and knew that there would be such a move, so when the rocket blocked the rear road of the vanguard troops, he hurriedly said to Jieli: "Great Khan, ** attack with fire!" Let Tuli and the other generals withdraw! ”
Jieli hesitated a little, and didn't want to be so easily frightened by a few rockets from the ** army. But just like that, what is the power of diesel? How can you stop if you don't burn until there is no slag left? In an instant, the fire sealed the retreat of the vanguard troops.
Zhao Deyan's face was even more frightened, and regardless of the rudeness, he immediately lit two thousand lancers and rushed into the fire array, using spears to pick up the burning giant shields and siege equipment one by one, and finally cleared a way out.
Princess Pingyang was a little dissatisfied when she saw Zhao Deyan in the heart of saving the Turks, but she guessed Zhao Deyan's purpose in an instant. The idea of building siege equipment and giant shield was his idea, and if he didn't take this opportunity to throw the black cauldron out, then what awaited him would be a slash from the camp gate! After all, he is a Han Chinese, and this huge pot can't move!
With this act of sacrificing his life to save people, the Turks will not blame all the fault on his head, but will throw this black cauldron on Jieli's head. It is also more conducive to Zhao Deyan to stabilize his position within the Turks.
Thinking of this, Princess Pingyang immediately ordered to stop the attack of the oil oil, making the illusion that the oil was insufficient, and just shooting some arrows downwards to give Zhao Deyan enough time to save people. However, this time to save people was calculated by Zhao Deyan, and the damned ones are gone, and less than half of them can survive. The power of fire oil was the power of intercontinental ** in ancient times, and those guys who stuck to the fire oil and burned non-stop were all expelled by Zhao Deyan's order, and they were not allowed to approach the safe passage.
So much so that when Zhao Deyan withdrew from the battlefield with a blackened face, less than 30,000 Turks were rescued!
Zhao Deyan staggered to Jieli and knelt on the ground with a puff and cried, crying while taking the fault on himself. What "the minister didn't expect that there would be so much fire oil! ”;“ The ministers deserve to die, resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of the army! It's all incompetent! Nonsense like that.
Those rescued Turks stepped forward to intercede for Zhao Deyan. Tuli has to be said to be the best supporting actor of this century, the first to rush to the front, and he can come back alive with all his beards and tails. Led by Tuli, Kugel and Xiong Man Patriarch assisted from the side, which saved Zhao Deyan. Otherwise, although Jieli didn't want to kill Zhao Deyan, someone had to take this responsibility for the death of more than 20,000 soldiers, and he was a great sweat and couldn't easily carry this black cauldron. Although Zhao Deyan was convicted of this black pot after stirring it up like this, at least on the bright side, this crime is still Zhao Deyan's, and he has a step down.
So the matter ended with a one-year punishment for Zhao Deyan. Jieli found the steps, and Zhao Deyan gained a large number of Turkic loyalists. It's another joyful win-win, only the lonely souls who died in the city are crying, and their families are grieving.
Jieli led the defeated army back to the camp to continue to discuss how to deal with the terrifying eight-bull crossbow. On the side of Niangziguan, there are gongs and drums, firecrackers are ringing, and there are joyful squints everywhere. Princess Pingyang also accepted all kinds of sycophants from her subordinates with a smile, that is, when others asked about key issues such as diesel, she staggered at will, and refused to reveal the balance of oil and how the diesel came from. After all, the flammability of diesel fuel is much stronger than that of the original fire oil, and it is a top raw material for murder and arson, and no matter who it is, it will be hot.
After Princess Pingyang had dealt with countless curious and baby-like subordinates, it was sunset. This is Wenyi who quietly walked in, leaned into Princess Pingyang's ear and whispered: "Your Highness, there is news from 007: the Turks are having a headache for our Baniu crossbow, and it is estimated that Kenneng will attack next, so let us get ready." ”
Princess Pingyang nodded and said: "I know, there is a task to be given to you, let 007 find out which generals the Turks can fight well, and you let Wang Tianhu and them find an opportunity to kill these people." It was much easier to deal with the Turks with no soldiers. ”
Wenyi nodded in agreement, turned around and went to arrange. Princess Pingyang looked at the remnant sun outside the door, leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, and breathed a sigh of relief. He said to himself, "O people, people. I don't know how you found this kind of demon in literature and art, originally I thought that Niangziguan could be kept for three days is blessed by God, who knew that it would be so easy to keep with the things that this kid made up. It's just that why does this kind of demon favor you, the eldest brother is the crown prince, but there are some wine bags and rice bags around him, can't our Li family escape the fate of fratricide? "Alone in the tent of melancholy...
It was a night when the moon was not bright and the stars were very thin. Wenyi and Wang Tianhu each led two teams to cautiously touch the vicinity of the Turkic camp. According to the original plan, Wenyi, a habitual arsonist, was responsible for lighting the fire, and the primary target was Jieli's baggage camp, and they Turks were all tribes as groups, and even the grain and grass were prepared by each tribe itself. So it's impossible to get it all done with one fire like Cao Cao burning the black nest, but Jieli, as the new Khan of the Turks, would be interesting if he even had to look at the faces of his subordinates when he ate.
Wang Tianhu was responsible for assassinating the generals on Zhao Deyan's list, and he was basically the second person in each tribe, Wang Tianhu originally wanted to kill those tribal leaders, but was stopped by Zhao Deyan, his explanation was: Jieli is currently too strong, and only by weakening Jieli's power as much as possible and then cultivating a force that has opinions on Jieli can effectively provoke internal disputes in the Turks. There is almost no chance of winning this attack on Niangzi Pass, so now we should look to the future and take the complete elimination of the Turks as the main goal!
So an operation against Jieli began! It will definitely make Jieli feel comfortable at home!
