Chapter 54: Wuchuan Town (II)

Earth dragon turned over?

Puzzled, Checkler paused and stood on the steps of the wall, and after a while the tremors did not abate, but became more and more violent.

Suddenly, Checkler turned his head suddenly, took three steps and made two steps to the arrow stack, and looked south with his hand on the arrow stack, and his heart was instantly lifted!

I saw that in the wind and snow in the south, the figures were like life-seeking ghosts emerging from the ground, and the shadows were connected together, and when I got a little closer, I saw the red flags flying high in the wind and snow, and countless Tang troops wearing red and black robes, overwhelmingly attacking from the end of the earth!

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

"The Tang Army is here!"

……

Suddenly the golden drums on the city wall sounded in unison, and the sound of trumpets pierced through the clouds and the wind, resounding throughout the city.

The well-trained garrison immediately gave warning, and the soldiers stationed under the city drove to the city wall one by one, and completed the deployment in a very short time, waiting for battle.

Chekler at the head of the city looked at the Tang army getting closer and closer, and the red tassels on the cavalry helmets were like flames beating in the wind and snow, making his whole heart seem to sink to the bottom.

The cavalry of the Tang Army of such a scale can appear overwhelmingly in Wuchuan Town, and the fate of Dadushe is self-evident.

This is not only defeated, even a scout who sent a letter failed to escape back to Wuchuan, it must have been blocked by the Tang army at the mouth of the White Road, cutting off the way to retreat, Monan was the territory of the Tang army and the Turks, there was no way back, the flat and vast Eilechuan was the place where Dadu set up the bones, and the only thing waiting for him was the end of the destruction of the whole army.

Tens of thousands of elite iron riders!

Just buried in Monan?

Checkler simply couldn't believe it.

However, the Tang Army, who appeared in front of him and was charging violently, brutally confirmed this fact to him.

Taking a deep breath, Checkler raised his hand and shouted at the generals gathered on the left and right: "Prepare for battle!" The second prince has been defeated, Wuchuan is the gateway to Mobei, if it is lost, the Tang army breaks into Mobei, and the Wanli Plain will be wreaked havoc by the Tang army! Think about your clansmen's families, when the Tang Army is raging, will there still be a way to live? For the sake of the Khanate, for the sake of the Great Khan, for the sake of the clansmen, we will defend Wuchuan to the death! ”

"Defend Wuchuan!"

"Defend Wuchuan!"

The soldiers of Xue Yantuo on the city wall were high-spirited, and they shouted in unison, and the sound shook the four fields!

Checoler's satisfied jaw.

For Wu Chuan's garrison, he has full confidence.

The 20,000 defenders in the city are all trained by the Han generals, and the practice is the most clever tactics of the Han people to defend the city, although the bow and crossbow are lacking, but Xue Yantuo's soldiers are more courageous, more fierce and not afraid of death, and the entire Wuchuan town is impregnable, foolproof!

In his opinion, if he wants to capture Wuchuan, unless the Tang army has several times the strength of his own, and carries a large number of ladders and other engineering weapons, it will be in vain.

What's more, the Tang army that watched the charge was full of cavalry, and the Tang cavalry on the plain was not inferior to Xue Yantuo's cavalry, but it was used to attack the city?

The Han people have also read a lot of military books, but they have never seen a case of cavalry breaking through the city......

Are we still the barbarians who only knew how to ride and shoot but didn't know how to defend the city?

The corners of Chekler's bearded mouth showed a sneer of disdain, and he gave orders again and again, commanding his soldiers and subordinates to defend against the Tang army's siege in various critical positions.

Xue Yantuo is not good at smelting iron, and the manufacture of bows and crossbows is too far behind the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, there are not many crossbowmen in Wuchuan City, but a lot of rolling wood and stones are prepared, and a large cauldron is set up under the city, firewood is set up, the snow water is boiled, and then the gold juice is poured and stirred, and the stench is overwhelming, and it is smoking.

The so-called "golden juice" is the dung of humans and animals......

This substance is boiled in boiling water and poured on the besieging enemy army to cause burns, which will immediately cause the venom to attack the lungs, and there is no cure.

Chekole looked coldly at the Tang Army, which was getting closer and closer.

Cavalry siege?

Hehe, that's whimsical......

However, the Tang Army's charge was only a powerful momentum, which still made Checkler feel nervous.

The overwhelming cavalry of the Tang Army braved the wind and snow, crossed the frozen Tabu River under Wuchuan City, the iron tower splashed ice and snow, and charged towards Wuchuan with great momentum, and the red tassels on the cavalry helmet were like a jumping flame, which was eye-catching!

This is the Tang Iron Cavalry, which broke up the Turkic Khanate, the former overlord of the steppe!

Even though there are no world-famous generals such as Wei Gong Li Jing, British Gong Li Ji, and Hejian County King Li Xiaogong, nor are there any brave generals of the three armies such as Cheng Yanjin, Wei Chigong, Li Daliang, and Hou Junji, they still maintain the dignified blood in the bones of the Han family!

The masters of the steppe have changed from generation to generation, such as the Dog Rong, the Qiang people, the Turks, and Xue Yantuo...... The rise of a tribe means the demise of a tribe.

However, between the splendid mountains and rivers in the south, even though the Han dynasty also rose and fell, the Han people still stuck there, one dynasty after another declined, and then one dynasty after another, always maintaining the suppression of the grassland peoples.

Those amazing and brilliant world-famous generals are never extinct from generation to generation.

Li Mu, Meng Tian, Li Guang, Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Zhao Chongguo, Ban Chao, Gan Ying, Dou Xian, Cao Zhang, Ran Min, Zu Ti, Huan Wen, Xie Xuan, Liu Yu, Tan Daoji, Li Jing, Li Ji......

These famous generals who have made great achievements and have been praised by the people of the Han family for generations, stepped on the corpses of the Hu people on the grassland, achieved a thousand years of good fame, and shined in the history of the Han family!

This is the horror of the Han people.

No matter how powerful the Hu people are, they can only occupy a temporary advantage, and whenever the Han people live and die, there will always be people who stand up and turn the tide.

How can such a nation be conquered?

Therefore, Xue Yantuo has always adopted a strategy of relaxation for the Tang Dynasty, and has never had the ambition to drink the Yellow River and whip the Yangtze River, as long as he can take advantage of the plunder from time to time, that's all......

The roaring sound of horses' hooves shattered Chekler's thoughts, and he came back to his senses to see that the Tang army had already charged a stone's throw away from the city wall, and Qi Qi restrained his war horse and stopped the charge.

Checkler was puzzled.

Although he is a Hu person, but the Han people have also read a lot of military books, know the truth of "one drum and then decline and exhaustion", the most important when attacking the city, such a battle, in addition to the momentum accumulated by their own charge, what tactics can they have?

He didn't believe that the commander of the Tang army would be so stupid, so he sent scouts to immediately return to the mountain tent of the Yu Overseer Army to explain the situation, and at the same time nervously waited to see what strategy the Tang army had to attack the city.

Sure enough, after the Tang army rested under the city for about an hour, about half of the cavalry dismounted and slowly formed a formation, and three strange chariots were pushed out in the rear army, and a few soldiers got under the thick wooden cover and slowly pushed towards the city wall.

Chekler estimated the distance between the two sides to ensure that the cold arrows of the Tang army could not hurt him, so he stretched his neck and lay on the arrow stack to look down at the city.

The chariot was strangely shaped, like a huge turtle, covered with thick wooden planks, not afraid of the rolling stones and sassalwoods on the city's head, and the gold juice could not hurt the Tang army under the lid, and the defense was very tight.

But no matter how seamless the defense is, you have to come out and attack the city, right?

Could it be that this Wang Ba cover can be pushed directly to the city?

Not only was Chekole confused, but the defenders of Xue Yantuo in the city were also at a loss......

Chekler faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, how could he let the Tang army break into the city so easily? You have to have some attitude, so that Tang Jun knows that Wuchuan Town is impregnable and cannot be attacked.

When even waved his hand.

The guards in the city pushed down the rolling wood and stones, poured the boiling gold juice towards the "Wang Ba Lid", and even shot a few arrows, which was quite happy.

However, the "Wang Ba Lid" has rough skin and thick meat, and after a round of blows, it was unscathed......

Chekoler panicked like grass growing in his heart, and the more he couldn't understand Tang Jun's intentions, the more uncertain he became.

When the army is approaching the city, shouldn't they attack one by one and hold on to it, and fight until the sky is dark, flying sand and rocks?

What do you want to do with two "Wang Ba covers"?

Just when he was panicked in his heart and his uneasy feeling became worse and worse, he suddenly saw those "Wang Ba Gai" slowly retreating.

Checkler rubbed his eyes and confirmed.

That's right, it's a retreat.

Hell yes!

This Don army not only did not attack, but also retreated......

What's going on?

"Qu Shuai, something is wrong...... a cronie next to him muttered.

Checkler said angrily: "Fart! Of course Lao Tzu knows that something is wrong, something is very wrong! ”

"No......" The cronie was startled and hurriedly said, "The small one is saying that the smoking thing is wrong......"

"What's the smoke...... Well? ”

Only then did Checkler see that as his cronies said, there was a faint light smoke coming out of the city wall where the "Wang Ba Gai" was squatting just now, and the city was leeward, so he could see it quite clearly.

What the hell is this?
