Chapter 51: The Battle of Niangzi Pass I

This kind of run-of-the-mill little character Princess Pingyang will not pay attention to it, and she will not raise her eyelids. The sword in black armor behind him raised his hand and shot an arrow off the flagpole in the little colonel's hand. The run-and-shower colonel immediately fled back to the Turkic camp with tears in his eyes, complaining to Jieli how cowardly the Tang boss was and didn't dare to come out to answer; How much he regarded death as home, desperately being shot in the head by the Tang Dynasty marksman, his face did not change his face, and his heart did not beat!

Jieli Khan symbolically rewarded the two hundred and five and sent them away. Tuli said at this time: "Great Khan, since the Tang people don't know what to do, let's kill it!" The little brother is willing to be a pioneer! ”

Jieli nodded and said: "Well, you lead 10,000 soldiers as the vanguard, and take down the lady Guan Ben Khan to rule the world with you!" ”

Tuli licked his lips that were dry from excitement, and shouted hoarsely: "The sons of the grassland, rush with me!" The first person to climb the city will be rewarded with 100 gold! ”

When the warriors of the Turki tribe heard the leader's reward, they immediately rushed to Niangzi Pass with a roar.

Princess Pingyang had already taken precautions, and with a wave of her hand, fifty eight-bull crossbows buzzed, and one hundred and fifty crossbow arrows pierced straight into the chest of the Turkic man, and one hundred and ten Turkic cannon fodder fell to the ground in an instant.

The commander of the city quickly waved the small flag in his hand, and the soldier who controlled the eight-bull crossbow raised the eight-ox crossbow and quickly retreated, and the second round of crossbowmen who had already been loaded immediately made up for it, waiting for the flag officer to give the order to fire. The current eight-bull crossbow has been transformed by literature and art to be lighter and faster, two people operate, change three arrows at a time, and complete it in one minute. This is the Datang version of Gatling!

Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, and the 10,000 tribes of Tuli lay down 5,000! Tu Li's eyes were about to split, and he was so distressed that he almost fainted. Gritting his teeth and hating, he said, "Retreat!" ”

The first wave of Turkic temptations ended here, at the cost of 5,000 killed and 2,000 seriously wounded, it was discovered that Datang had a weapon with a long range, fast rate of fire, and amazing lethality.

In the Turkic camp, inside the Jieli tent, Tuli knelt on the ground and howled and cried: "Great Khan, you have to avenge me!" Seven thousand steppe warriors died in Huangquan in less than half an hour, and the Great Khan! Please give me another 20,000 soldiers and horses, and I will break through the Niangzi Pass! ”

Jieli glared at him coldly and said, "Continue to attack? More than 7,000 were killed and wounded in less than half an hour, and Ben Khan's 200,000 army is enough for you to storm for two days? ”

Tuli lost his voice instantly, knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head, and cold sweat flowed down. Jieli said again: "Brain! Isn't the life of our Turkic warriors fate? Continuing the assault? Do you have a brain? Ladies and gentlemen, today you have also seen the power of the Tang crossbow arrows, and it is the top priority to quickly come up with a way to deal with it! ”

There was silence in the big tent, and those tribal leaders were frightened, they were all the first time to see such sharp crossbow arrows, and the charge of 10,000 people could be forcibly stopped two hundred steps away, what strategy could be solved?

Just as everyone was pondering, a hearty laugh rang out. Everyone turned their heads to look, a Han man? I saw him standing on the outermost side of the big tent in a Confucian robe, with his waist straight and laughing loudly. When Jieli saw that it was him, he immediately smiled, and personally invited him to the center of the tent and asked, "Mr. Zhao, when did you come?" Why don't I know? ”

The scholar replied with a smile: "The grass people have just arrived here with the grain and grass, and when they came, they saw the sad looks of the people, so I asked about the situation and found out that this was the case. The Great Khan doesn't have to worry too much, it's not difficult. ”

Jieli laughed and asked, "Please Mr. Zhao for advice!" ”

The scholar smiled slightly and said: "Great Khan, there is an old forest eighty miles outside the city of Niangziguan, you can let the soldiers go to cut down more trees, only take the trunks and tie them into a large row, and add wheels to the front and back." In this way, the soldiers can attack the Niangzi Pass with peace of mind. ”

Jieli thought for a moment and said, "This plan is wonderful, but it is not possible to make a raft that is enough for a large army. If we delay here for too long, I'm afraid the army will be unstable. ”

The scholar smiled: "Don't worry, there are many Turkic warriors, why don't you have a few battles with him first?" Winning boosts morale, and losing. Isn't it beautiful? ”

Jieli was overjoyed and said: "Sir's brilliant plan! Suddenly, he was stunned and then laughed and said: "You shouldn't know Mr. Zhao yet, let me introduce to you, this is Zhao Deyan, Mr. Zhao!" He is the champion of the former Sui, just at the time of his life, the former Sui was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and Mr. Zhao was also killed so that his wife was separated and his family was ruined! By chance, I came to the grassland, and I found out that I was hired as a staff member, and before the army set off, I infiltrated Niangzi Pass to find out the news. ”

After speaking, he pulled Zhao Deyan and asked him to sit on his left hand, and said to Zhao Deyan this time: "I don't know what news Mr. can find out?" ”

Zhao Deyan thought for a while and said: "Niangziguan, as the name suggests, the boss is Princess Pingyang, the eldest daughter of the Tang Emperor, and most of her subordinates are women, Dou Jiande's daughter Dou Xianniang, Hua Mulan, and Wei Chi Jingde's wife, the black and white second lady, are not to be afraid. It's just that Na Chai Shao and Luo Cheng have some skills, and the Great Khan needs to pay more attention. The rest are Ma Sanbao and other generals who are not in the stream. There was not a single strategist, and the troops were only 50,000 combatable soldiers, and the other 30,000 reinforcements sent by the Tang Emperor were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were defeated in one blow! But there are a lot of grains and grasses, as long as the king can win the Niangzi Pass, the Tang Dynasty will not have to go anymore, and their materials are basically piled up in the Niangzi Pass! This is a great opportunity for the Great Khan! ”

Jieli clapped his hands and laughed: "Good! Mr. Zhao has worked hard, passed on the order of King Khan, from now on, Mr. Zhao will be my military advisor! Seeing the military advisor is like seeing Ben Khan! No one should be left to slacken! Violators are held accountable! ”

Although there are also people in the tent who are not convinced, Jieli is becoming more and more powerful, as long as he agrees reluctantly.

Niangzi Guan was beaming, it turned out that the Turks were not so terrible, and they could still pierce four or five with one arrow!

Princess Pingyang also summoned the generals to the Cheng Building. The princess said, "This battle is only a temptation of the Turks, and the bitter battle is yet to come. Although the power of the Eight Bull Crossbow exceeded expectations, everyone still could not relax, and the Turkic side would definitely come up with a way to restrain it. And they took some further counsel before they dispersed.

The next morning, two thousand horsemen came to the city, and two hundred paces away grabbed the reins of the horse and shouted to the city, "Where is Chai Shao?" Come out and answer. ”

After hearing the report, Princess Pingyang walked to the city and looked down, and when she saw that there were only a few dozen horsemen around Jieli, she shouted down: "Why did the Khan ignore the covenant between you and me and brazenly send troops to invade the Tang Dynasty?" ”

Jieli sneered a few times and said, "Ben Khan disdains to talk to the woman, so quickly call the man of your family to come out." ”

One sentence angered the girls, and Hua Mulan took the lead and said: "Handsome, the last general is willing to be a pioneer!" Capture Jieli for the handsome! ”

Princess Pingyang waved her hand and said, "It's okay, this kind of goods are handsome." ”

After stopping Mulan, he said to Jieli: "Since the Khan has nothing to do, please go back, otherwise Hugh blames the arrows for being ruthless!" After saying that, he waved his hand, and the fifty eight-bull crossbows on the city immediately turned their arrows and aimed at Jieli.

Jieli and the others were taken aback, they are all famous figures in the Turks, if they die under the Niangzi Pass so inexplicably, wouldn't they be laughable and generous? Jieli hurriedly shouted at this time: "Ben Khan led the army to come this time only because the grassland disasters last year caused the tribe to lack food and grass, and many people in the tribe died of starvation. Only then did he want to borrow 5 million stones of grain from Datang in order to tide over the difficulties, hoping that Datang could help. ”

Princess Pingyang laughed and said, "Is this the attitude of the Khan begging for people?" Without saying a word, he began to attack the city, if it weren't for the sharp arrows and crossbows of Ben Shuai, I'm afraid that you would have already entered the pass, right? ”

Jieli haha said a few times: "Yesterday, Nai's brothers were disobedient and trespassed without permission, Ben Khan couldn't stop him and offended the princess, Ben Khan has already punished him, please princess Haihan." I wonder what the princess thinks of Ben Khan's proposal? ”

Princess Pingyang said: "There is no problem at all, Khan is really, you only need to repair a book of five hundred stone grain, and Ben Shuai will send it to you, why do you have to come and beg in person?" Khan was too polite. ”

Jieli was so angry when he heard this, and his generals also glared angrily, and they all begged to break Princess Pingyang's body into ten thousand pieces. Jieli took a few deep breaths to suppress the anger in his heart, and then said: "Ben Khan came here this time to prepare to kill, but Ben Khan is a person who pities flowers and cherishes jade, and the ** boss who listened to it is the first beauty of the Tang Dynasty and put an end to the idea of slaughtering the city, as long as you are willing to come to my big tent to spend with me, Ben Khan can withdraw his troops?" ”

The Turks laughed, revealing a lewd look that men all knew** and looked at the city. Princess Pingyang also had an ugly face, and shouted: "Jieli, it's useless to talk more, if you have the ability, you will attack the city!" ”

Jieli shouted: "Ben Khan is here to challenge you, do you dare to accept it?" ”

Princess Pingyang said, "Are you afraid of you? Draw out the way. ”

Jieli said: "You and I will each send twenty people to fight each other, and the winner can continue to challenge the next one." See who can fight to the end, and if you win, Ben Khan will withdraw immediately. If you lose, surrender immediately! ”

Princess Pingyang looked at the twenty strong men of the Turks under the city, and then thought that there were very few people who could fight on her side, most of them were women, and she was afraid that the chances of winning were not high, so she heard Dou Xianniang say while hesitating: "Dashuai, promise him, the last general thinks that this is just his delaying plan, Jieli has mobilized the people to come here this time, it is impossible to go back so easily, there must be something strange inside." Promise him first, we can't weaken our momentum. ”

Princess Pingyang nodded and said, "Yes, Ben Shuai promised you, I just hope that the Khan will no longer be a villain who does not believe in his word." ”

Jieli laughed and said: "The warriors of the grassland have made a promise, the number of Ben Khan has been decided, you quickly choose people, and the first game will start as soon as noon is over." Leave! With that, he slapped his horse and left.

Princess Pingyang immediately raised the tent to gather generals, and told everyone about the bet with Jieli. Dou Xianniang said her opinion again.

Chai Shao nodded and said: "Indeed, it is impossible for Jieli to send troops this time to fight like child's play, and there is fraud in this and must be guarded against." ”

Princess Pingyang nodded and said, "Xiaoyi, this matter will be handed over to you to be responsible, and the purpose of investigating and dealing with Jieli as soon as possible." ”

Wenyi is now pressed by Princess Pingyang as a temporary position of secretary of the march, and she is responsible for delivering news to Princess Pingyang every day. Hearing that the princess had assigned a task to herself, she immediately got up and agreed.
