Arrows rained down, and suddenly several defending soldiers on the wall were shot by stray arrows, screaming and falling backwards off the earth platform.

The charging Khitan army stopped in front of the moat, and it was only then that Qin Ming ordered the crossbowmen to start firing arrows back. At a distance of more than thirty steps, the pyramidal arrow crossbow bolt launched by the Shenji crossbow directly penetrated the leather shield made of three layers of raw cowhide and inserted it into the body of the shield bearer.

The Khitan army's charging formation was suddenly chaotic, and some soldiers turned around and ran back after throwing the thatch they were carrying behind them into the moat, and the defenders rained down waves of arrows mercilessly. As more and more soldiers were hit by arrows, those tribal cavalry couldn't bear such heavy casualties, and immediately shouted, turned around and fled.

Only a small number of them rushed through the moats filled with firewood and grass and rushed under the wall.

Under the suppression of the enemy's arrow rain, the defenders were temporarily unable to attack these enemies who hid under the wall, but the Khitan soldiers who rushed quickly threw away the wooden ladder in their hands, and they could only hide in the front and could not climb the wall.

"Shoot those horses!" Seeing the enemy's cavalry approaching, Qin Ming decisively ordered the crossbowmen to adjust their targets, shifting from those fleeing enemy troops to the cavalry who were galloping back and forth to shoot arrows.

After two rounds of arrows, the riders, who had no equipment, ran one hundred and fifty paces away, and did not dare to approach any more.

One of the defenders at the head of the wall tried to lean out and shoot at the head of the Khitan soldiers under the wall, but unexpectedly, a spear stabbed up from the bottom and hit the door, and the soldier screamed and fell headlong into the city.

"Don't lean out, don't throw stones!" One of the guards with a knife in his hand shouted angrily.

A dozen large rocks were pushed down against the wall, and two screams rang out below, apparently only two people were hit.

The sky is getting dark, and the sun is like blood.

The Khitan army regrouped and launched a second wave of attacks.

The main direction of this attack was changed to the western wall, due to the small number of defenders, this time the Khitan army carried several wooden ladders to the wall, and then quickly set up wooden ladders on the wall, and some soldiers in armor began to climb towards the wall with knives in their mouths.

The officer who commanded the defense at the head of the wall was in a hurry, and ordered the prepared reed rolls to be lit and pushed under the wall. The rolls of reeds were soaked in fire oil, and suddenly they burned under the wall. The light of the fire was mixed with a large amount of smoke rising from under the wall. The Wugu people who were climbing screamed wildly and rushed to the top of the wall, but were stabbed into the body by several Tang soldiers shouting spears. Immediately, the crossbows on the head of the city rang out one after another, and the sharp arrows immediately extinguished the attempts of the Wugu soldiers to rush to the wall.

After two waves of attacks, two or three hundred people were killed or wounded, which made Xi Dieli, one of the chieftains of the Wugu tribe who was watching the battle, twitch in the face. These soldiers are all young and strong in his tribe, and if the losses are too large, it is difficult to guarantee that they will be swallowed up by other tribes.

Therefore, after the second wave of attacks was defeated and retreated, he insisted on blowing the horn of the withdrawal of troops despite the opposition of the Khitans. The reason is that his subordinates haven't eaten for a day, and now it's time to eat, and they don't have the strength to fight again if they don't eat enough!

……

While the Beishan Fort was fighting fiercely, Li Cunshuo had also arrived at the new castle.

About 10,000 Khitan troops were besieging the new castle, and when they saw Li Cunshuo coming to help, they immediately lined up to greet them.

Li Cunshuo saw the wolf smoke rising everywhere, and only took the 1,000 cavalry on duty in the Xinghe camp and the 300 pro-army under his command with a total of 1,200 cavalry to go straight to the new castle, and ordered the other troops to assemble and rush after receiving equipment.

This guy is also bold, with more than 1,000 horsemen in the face of more than 10,000 Khitan cavalry, but he is not afraid, and directly orders the queue to prepare.

The two armies were opposite, Li Cunshuo only led his three hundred pro-troops to gallop in front of the enemy army, took off his helmet and raised his horsewhip to point at the enemy army and scolded in nonsense: "Wu Xutai, why do you come out for Lao Tzu, are you not mixing on the dam for a few years, and you don't know my name Li Cunshuo!" ”

Chief Hu in front of the Khitan array replied: "The two countries are fighting each other, each is its master, and old friends have come from afar, so let's see a high and low in the battle array!" ”

Li Cunshuo smiled sadly: "Wu Yutai, you take the tribe to follow the Khitan people to toss a ghost, you just get benefits, how many sheepskins can you get?!" I heard that your little wife in the tent just gave birth to a son for you, and I also heard that if this unweaned baby is smeared with goat's milk, it tastes great to roast and eat, can you give your son to the old man! ”

Wu Xutai opened his eyes angrily when he heard this: "Li Cunshuo, if you want to go to my tribe to make trouble, I will fight with you endlessly!" ”

Li Cunshuo grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth, and pointed at several leaders of the tribe with a horsewhip and shouted: "Wula, Botuo and Ha Rosemary, don't think that the old man doesn't recognize you...... You followed the Khitan people to invade my Tang territory for no reason, and now the day Khan ordered me to be the vanguard, and he has personally led an army of 500,000 to rush over, if you are still obsessed, Lao Tzu knows that you wait for the nest in the area of Gouerluo and Lelibo, just wait for the day Khan's army to arrive, and then destroy the tribe of Er! ”

When the divination soldiers heard his wild words, they couldn't help but be a little frightened and looked at each other.

Li Cunshuo saw that the enemy's heart was shaken, and he only had 300 pro-troops under his command, so he shouted: "Kill me!" ”

but he took the lead in rushing into the enemy line.

Li Cunshuo was originally born as a horse bandit, and it turned out that he was famous on the grassland on this dam, and those divination soldiers were already so brave that they were three points weaker after hearing his name. Li Cunshuo brandished a machete like a door panel in his hand, and killed the head of a hundred households with just one face. Behind him, more than 1,000 Weisai troops saw that the main general took the lead in the charge, and where they dared to lag behind, they immediately attacked the whole army.

Li Cunshuo attacked and rushed violently, and actually rushed more than 10,000 blocking troops into chaos, scattering and fleeing. Wu Xiangtai and others had to abandon the new castle and retreat to the breached Black Mountain Tunbao to regroup.

At this time, it was dusk, Li Cunshuo repelled the blocking army, and the rest of the 2,000 cavalry of the Weisai cavalry had also arrived. After a short rest, the men ate, and the horses were fed, he led the cavalry straight to the enemy camp, and was not prepared to give the divinators a chance to readjust.

Wu Xiangtai and the others were gathering the rout army and preparing to have dinner, but they saw Li Cunshuo kill him.

I saw that the number of Tang troops was much larger, and I thought that the reinforcements of the Tang army had arrived, and they lost their fighting spirit. After only a few moments of fighting, the blockade army could not withstand it and began to retreat slowly, and then this retreat became a defeat, and then it became a rout of the whole line......

The next battle is even more suspenseful, the Tang army already has an obvious equipment advantage, and now the momentum is flourishing, wherever the Weisai army goes, the Khitan army is fleeing when they hear the sound, leaving only one side to flee, and one side to cover up and kill......

Li Cunshuo led the army to chase and kill Xiaobaishuiluo overnight......

……

After a great battle, there was blood everywhere.

Under the walls of Montenegro Fort, the enemy suffered more than 300 casualties, and the defenders in the fort were also killed and wounded.

The enemy troops besieging Beishan Fort ran away inexplicably, and they didn't even have time to take the wounded away. Unable to stand the way the medical officers of the fort treated the wounds of the wounded soldiers, Liang Xing was moved by compassion, and after personally going down to the field to demonstrate to these medical officers how to suture and treat the wounds, he found a lot of trouble for himself.

Qin Ming ordered more than a dozen uninjured subordinates to serve as assistants for him, which immediately made Liang Xing busy in the fort......
