Chapter 427: Fleeing
The Turks are nomadic peoples.
They have always lived with the grass, and few say that they can find a place to settle down and live like the Han people.
However, Jieli Khan, greedy for pleasure, did so, and forcibly built a city on the grassland.
It's just that, although it is a city, their city walls and towers are not very high, that is, the pattern and scale of a county in the Tang Kingdom are not as good as the state and county, and even less than the Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty.
It is really a fool's dream that such a city wants to stop people.
Li Yu showed a sneer of disdain, and then said: "We won't attack such a city tower, just smash it for him." ”
"What does the Holy One mean?" Li Jing asked.
"Get the trebuchet over, smash him at a wall, and smash a way for me."
Nowadays, the power of the Tang trebuchet is already very huge, and it is not difficult to smash the city wall.
After Li Jing understood what Li Yu meant, he did not hesitate, and quickly ordered: "Trebuchet prepare." ”
There was a sound, and soon, the trebuchet of the Tang army was pushed to the front, and behind the trebuchet, one after another, soldiers waited to put stones on the trebuchet.
When Jieli Khan saw that the Tang army was going to attack the city, he immediately became vigilant, but when he saw that the Tang army just moved the trebuchet out, he was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand what the Tang army meant at all.
Because, even if you want to use a trebuchet, you should cooperate with the soldiers, and the trebuchet is more often used for cover.
However, the Tang army only got the trebuchet out, and the soldiers just waited behind.
He didn't understand what Tang Jun meant, and at this time, Li Jing shouted again: "Launch." ”
At the sound of an order, hundreds of trebuchets smashed in turn towards one place, and the rumbling sound was heard from time to time, and after a round of trebuchets smashed over, only the sound of incense could be heard.
One of the walls of the Turkic royal city fell.
After seeing this scene, the Turks were shocked, they didn't expect that the Tang army didn't care about their city tower at all, because as long as the Tang army wanted it, they could destroy their royal city at any time.
At this time, they knew the difference between their city and the city of the Tang Kingdom.
Shock, shock, and anger followed.
Jieli Khan was very angry, the Turkic city tower was broken, and the Tang army would soon kill it.
In the city, they did not have any advantage at all, because the most powerful Turks were cavalry, but the place in the royal city was too narrow, so it was better to go out of the city and fight.
Although Jieli Khan didn't want to go out of the city to fight, but now in this situation, he can't go out of the city.
"Command the soldiers to get out of the city."
Now, even many Turkic officials can't oppose it, no one hesitates to this order of Jieli Khan, and soon, the gates of the Turkic royal city are opened.
And as soon as the gates were opened, the Turkic cavalry rushed in droves.
They wanted to take advantage of the fast speed of the cavalry to disperse the Tang army and reduce the damage of the Tang army's mechanical crossbows and trebuchets to them, because the cavalry could use the fastest speed to shorten the distance between them.
And just when the Turkic cavalry rushed over, on the side of the Tang army, mechanical crossbows and trebuchets immediately began to fire, sharp arrows, and boulders fell from the sky and smashed towards the Turkic cavalry.
Sharp arrows mainly shoot horses, and boulders directly hit cavalry.
However, the speed of the Turkic cavalry was indeed too fast, and the mechanical crossbow and trebuchet had just fired two rounds before they were out of attackable range.
"Kill ......"
At this time, Li Yu shouted, and the cavalry of the Tang State also rushed over, and just as they rushed over, the Modao team also set off.
In a moment, a battle broke out between the two armies.
The strength of the cavalry of the Tang army has been improved, but it is not the opponent of the Turkic cavalry, but the Mo Dao team of the Tang State is the nemesis of the Turkic cavalry, and their appearance can not only combat the arrogance of the Turkic cavalry, but also eliminate many Turkic cavalry.
The cavalry of the soldiers and horses on both sides quickly mixed together, and at the same time, Li Jing stood on a high place, constantly waving the flag, and the Tang army changed the formation back and forth, and gradually killed the Turkic soldiers and horses.
Although the number of the Tang army was not as large as that of the Turkic soldiers and horses, Li Jing's formation was very powerful, so when it came to killing the Turks, the Tang army was not inferior.
Moreover, as the war continued, the Tang army gradually occupied a dominant position.
Before dusk, the Turks had already shown a tendency to rout, but the Tang army was killing more and more powerfully.
Seeing this, Jieli Khan's eyebrows became more and more solemn.
"Your Majesty Khan, my Turks are not the opponent of the Tang army, if we continue to kill like this, we must annihilate the whole army, and it is imperative to retreat as soon as possible."
A soldier came to persuade Jieli Khan, but at this time, Jieli Khan slashed that person to death with a knife, shouting: "Death to the retreater, kill me." ”
Withdraw?
Just kidding, for Jieli Khan, he would rather die in battle than choose to retreat.
He is a hero on the grassland, he can accept death, but he can't accept running away like a coward, although he has already felt tension and fear in his heart.
"Kill!"
Jieli Khan took the lead and killed the Tang army, and at this time, Li Yu also carried a spear to kill Jieli Khan, and after a while, the two of them were killed in one place. Jieli Khan's strength is still very amazing, Li Yu fought with him for more than a dozen moves, and he didn't even know whether he won or lost, but at this time, Pei Yuanqing suddenly came, his sledgehammer was very domineering, just when Jieli Khan and Tang Yu were fighting, Pei Yuanqing smashed towards Jieli Khan with a hammer, Jie
Li Khan reacted quickly, and hurriedly blocked it with his blade.
It's just that his blade is Pei Yuanqing's silver hammer, and it was smashed and bent all of a sudden.
And just when Jieli Khan's weapon was smashed, Li Yu attacked with a shot and directly took Jieli Khan's life.
Jieli Khan was killed, and he couldn't believe that he had been killed like this.
"Jieli Khan has been killed, kill me."
Li Yu shouted loudly, and after the Tang army heard this, they became more and more courageous, but after hearing this, those Turkic soldiers lost their morale and immediately began to flee.
The Turks were originally composed of several tribes, but now that Jieli Khan is dead, the remaining tribal leaders are naturally unwilling to continue to entangle with the Tang Army, and they must flee if they can escape. And when the other Turkic soldiers fled, the Tang army continued to chase and kill, no matter what, they wanted to destroy these Turkic forces, although the Turks were already dead when Jieli Khan was killed.
