At the critical moment, the Turkic cavalry came out of the sky, like two sharp knives straight into the enemy's middle army.

Count the days, they should also arrive, Li Su wondered if Battle was deliberately playing with himself, hiding in the shadows and waiting silently, not mixing when the city was smooth, once the city rushed out at a critical moment, like the heroes in superhero movies, with the image of a brave savior, appeared in front of people at the right time, played the role of a hero who turned the tide, and won the gratitude of the whole city.

Although this kind of thinking is really suspected of being a villain's heart, Li Su has always been very wary of outsiders, and even allies can't completely unload their defenses, so the Turkic cavalry under Battell's command happened to appear at this most critical time, and Li Su really couldn't help but suspect it, it was too coincidental.

Seeing the Turkic cavalry advancing from the flank towards the enemy's center, the defenders at the head of the city flanked for a moment, and then erupted in earth-shattering cheers.

Fighters are rare!

After Li Su squinted at the situation on the battlefield outside the city, he suddenly shouted: "Jiang Quan! ”

"The end will be."

Pointing to the battlefield outside the city, Li Su said: "Quick, lead a thousand people out of the city, bring enough earth-shaking thunder, and cooperate with the attack of Battle's left and right flanks, and you will directly insert it from the front of the enemy......"

Jiang Quan's eyelids jumped, and he suddenly showed hesitation.

Although since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the use of troops abroad has won more with less, but today's difference in the strength of the enemy and us is too great, not to mention that Li Su's order still directly collides with the enemy head-on, with 1,000 enemies and tens of thousands, which is ...... It's no different from sending them to death.

Seeing Jiang Quan's hesitation, Li Su understood what he meant, and couldn't help glaring at him: "Did I let you fight the enemy directly?" Plug it in from the front...... The earth-shattering thunder you brought with you was used as a urine jar? Ten feet away from the enemy, he ignited and threw it out, causing chaos to the Chinese army first. Then immediately divide the troops into two directions, meet the left and right flanks of Battle, and remember that there is no need to engage the enemy directly, and you can go with one touch and go, and guerrilla outside the enemy's position. Just throw the earth-shattering thunder into the middle of the enemy formation, and return to the city as soon as you finish throwing! ”

Jiang Quan immediately understood what Li Su meant, in layman's terms, this is called "robbing while the fire is on".

"The last general understands!"

Li Su waved his hand: "Hurry up and get out of the city!" ”

…………

The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly.

One moment it was a desperate battle of attack and defense of the city, and the next moment it became a plain encounter between the two armies, and the appearance of Battle changed the situation on the battlefield.

Soon a crack was opened in the city gate, and Jiang Quan led a thousand soldiers out of the city gate, and when the enemy army was fighting a regiment with Battle's department, he suddenly launched a frontal charge towards the center of the enemy army.

Such a big move. It was impossible for the enemy army not to find out, and as soon as Jiang Quan's army led the army out of the city gate, the central part of the enemy army quickly divided into thousands of cavalry and galloped towards Jiang Quan.

The equipment of the thousand people led by Jiang Quan was very strange, he did not hold a weapon in his hand at all, but a simple iron box was tied to his chest, and the box contained a piece of charcoal that burned red, and the leather bag next to the saddle was filled with black earth-shattering thunder. As he ran, he poked out and found a sky-shattering thunderbolt from his skin. The fuse was lit on the red charcoal, and he threw it into the distance with all his might, and with a loud bang, the oncoming enemy troops suddenly turned on their backs.

The enemy troops who were far away from the blast radius were no better, and the horses under their seats were clearly not trained to explode, and they heard the sound of a thunderclap in the clear sky. Even though the person is fine, but the war horse is frightened, after all, the beast is a beast, after the explosion, the war horse is frightened and neighed. Forcibly stopped castration, and then regardless of the angry whipping of the knight on his back, the war horse still quickly turned around and ran towards the middle of the army, which should have been a tragic scene of the two armies fighting, but inexplicably turned into a defeat and fled.

When the enemy's second group of cavalry caught up with the sniper, Jiang Quan turned around and suddenly ran towards the left flank, and a thousand soldiers behind him each took out a sky-shaking thunder and threw it at the enemy with white smoke.

A thousand people, a thousand earth-shattering thunders, the effect is spectacular.

The earth-shattering thunder fell on the crowd of enemy soldiers who could not react, and then thundered everywhere, blooming on all sides, and everywhere was the enemy's crying and scolding, Jiang Quan rode on the horse and laughed, and when the enemy's third group of cavalry caught up, he accelerated his speed and withdrew from the front of the Chinese army, and gradually caught up with the Turkic cavalry of Battle.

The Turkic cavalry has been interspersed with two back and forth on the left and right flanks of the enemy, the enemy was unprepared, was caught off guard, Batel led the warriors of the clan to kill and rise, and when he turned around and saw Jiang Quan leading the troops to arrive, Batel laughed, raised his bloody knife and pointed at Jiang Quan, and shouted in blunt Guanzhong dialect: "What your young man Langjun said, can it count?" ”

Jiang Quan paused for a moment, and immediately reacted that he was asking Li Su about his promises to Battle, such as being assigned to the future Anxi Protectorate, giving land and grassland, and allowing grazing and rest, etc., Jiang Quan hurriedly said loudly: "Self-counting, when did the Tang Dynasty deceive you and the clansmen?" ”

Battle laughed: "Okay, let's work for that young man for once!" Brothers, kill! ”

After saying that, Battle took the lead, and continued to launch the third sprint to the flank, the clansmen and warriors under his command followed closely behind, riding on the horse to slash left and right, killing a bloody road, Jiang Quan and his soldiers followed behind him, the earth-shattering thunder in his hand kept igniting and throwing out, the explosions came and went, and the chaotic army saw the stumps splashing, wailing again and again, Jiang Quan followed the back of Battle's department and easily interspersed it, although the command did not use the sword and halberd, but the lethality was obviously much stronger than Battle's department.

The loud noise made Battle, who was opening the way ahead, couldn't help but look back, and saw Jiang Quan and his subordinates constantly throwing out small black clay pots, which exploded on the ground and caused a large number of casualties, and the Battle and the Turkic cavalry looked at each other in surprise, their eyes full of awe.

After a rush to kill, the left and right flanks of the enemy army were torn open by Battle and Jiang Quan's subordinates, and they were defeated and retreated.

Amurdun had a gloomy face, staring at Batel and Jiang Quan who were still rushing left and right in his own army, eager to keep their eyes on the two of them, and after a long time, when the left and right flanks showed signs of defeat, Amurdun finally burst out of his mouth with a cold order.

"The left and right flanks contracted. Move closer to the Chinese army, and the rear of the Chinese army will allocate 3,000 people, outflank them from the left and right flanks, and ......encircle them," Amurdun said, suddenly roaring like crazy: "...... Leave these two cavalry teams outside Xizhou City for me and break them into pieces! ”

…………

When the rhythm of the war drums under the command of the commander of the enemy is in vain. Jiang Quan's heart sank, and he hurriedly ordered to return to the city, he did not forget Li Su's order, not to engage the enemy, and to retreat at the first touch.

After greeting his subordinates, Jiang Quan shouted to Battle not far ahead, and the warriors of Battle and his tribesmen were fighting vigorously, and judging from the smooth battle on the flanks, this enemy army did not seem to be difficult to deal with. Hearing the sound of Jiang Quan shouting back to the city, Battle turned his head and grinned nonchalantly, and then led the Turkic cavalry to continue to charge and rage in the enemy's flank.

Jiang Quan was in a hurry, what Li Beijia said was right, it was really a group of foreign monkeys, and they got carried away when they were proud, not knowing that they were facing tens of thousands of enemies, and the advantage they took just now was just a surprise attack. The enemy was caught off guard, and now listening to the drums of war, you can see that the enemy has reacted at this moment. And make full arrangements, and when the enemy forces mobilize most of them to outflank and encircle, they will never be able to escape today.

Seeing that Battle did not obey the military order, and the yellow sand was rolling not far away, it was obvious that the enemy's outflanked cavalry had rushed to kill, even though Jiang Quan was in a hurry. But he couldn't take care of Battle, and after gritting his teeth, Jiang Quan led his subordinates to quickly break away from the battle circle and gallop towards the city gate before the enemy's encirclement was formed.

As for Battle......

Jiang Quan, who was riding on the horse, shook his head bitterly.

Battle didn't listen to advice. I am afraid that there will be many bad lucks, even if he escapes for his life, the warriors of his clan are afraid that they will also suffer heavy losses and are almost wiped out.

The city gate was opened, Jiang Quan and his soldiers rode into the city, the city gate remained open, and after a while, it was found that Battle was still not out of the battle circle, and the city gate was finally closed heavily.

Li Su stood at the head of the city, and everything that happened on the battlefield outside the city was in his eyes.

Jiang Quan withdrew according to the order, which is quite commendable, this guy is a general with brains, and Battle ......

Li Su looked at the battlefield outside the city with a gloomy expression, and in the rolling yellow sand that covered the sky, it could be vaguely seen that the Turkic cavalry was surrounded by most of the enemy troops emerging from the left and right sides of the rear, and then, like a flat boat overturned by a huge wave, after a few flutters, it was completely submerged in the big waves.

A little anger appeared in Li Su's eyes, obviously, this guy Battle had courage and no strategy, and finally saw a glimmer of light in the battle, but after all, he fell into despair again because of his brutality.

Originally, it was planned to take this Turkic cavalry into the city, and when defending the city in the future, it could be used as a surprise soldier, and go out of the city at night to find opportunities to fight, raid, break the camp, and guerrilla...... This Turkic cavalry was of great use to him, but now, this cavalry could not be counted on.

At the head of the city, the defenders were also staring at the battlefield outside the city, and the Turkic cavalry that relieved them also affected the hearts of thousands of soldiers at this moment.

Li Su still did not give up hope, and kept quietly watching the place where Batel and the Turkic cavalry were submerged, only to hear the shouts of killing and screams drifting in the wind from afar, and the depths of the battlefield were still covered with yellow sand, and it was impossible to see the truth.

I don't know how long it took, Li Su suddenly saw more than 100 horsemen suddenly killed in the chaotic army, covered in blood, like a ghost who had just escaped from hell to the yang world, and finally fought out of the encirclement, and the enemy army behind did not give up and outflanked them again, this Turkic cavalry was also hard, and they did not see them discussing, and the last dozen people took the initiative to turn the horse's head, raised their swords and met the pursuers head-on, more than ten people to thousands of people, naturally the mantis arm as a car, the only role played was to make the pursuers' footsteps sluggish, just this little bit, Battle led the remaining remnants of the army to finally run farther and farther, and the dozen or so people left behind were overturned from their horses without any suspense and fell to the ground.

Tragic, cruel, magnificent, like an elegy in the bloody sun.

After Battelle led the remnants of the army to break out of the siege, he did not enter the city, but fled east without looking back.

Only then did Li Su exhale lightly, the cavalry of a thousand people, when he went back, there were less than a hundred people left, although it was only a matter of employment with him, but this favor was too much.

The battle outside the city is over, it is impossible to say who wins and who loses, the losses of both the enemy and us are not small, carefully calculated, after all, the enemy army suffered a relatively large loss, especially Jiang Quan's troops threw countless earth-shattering thunder, that bombing, to say the least, also caused thousands of casualties to the enemy.

The yellow sand outside the city gradually dispersed. The breeze was blowing, and the air seemed to smell a little bloody.

Li Su closed his eyes and said, "Wang Zhuan, go and settle the casualties of our army." ”

Wang Zhu was ordered to leave in a hurry, and not long after, Wang Zhu came back and said: "The men and horses brought out by General Jiang did not meet the enemy head-on. So there were only five minor injuries, but on Battle's side, I am afraid that thousands of people died, and this time the Turks can be regarded as really righteous and have suffered a big loss......"

"Let's not talk about Battle, after this battle, I will have a retribution, how many soldiers are left in our city now?"

"Counting Xiang Yong, there are more than 3,000 people left. Some of them were seriously injured......" Wang Zhuan's expression was a little gloomy.

Li Su smiled bitterly: "There are more than 3,000 people, guarding an isolated and helpless earthen city...... When I made the decision to go back to the city, I was probably crazy. ”

Outside the city, the enemy's battle formation has not been withdrawn, but has been re-arranged, after the battle just now, the enemy's momentum seems to be stronger, all over the formation in the long yellow sand. It exudes a murderous aura that soars into the sky.

Li Su seemed to have lost the strength of his whole body, and slowly collapsed and sat on the ground along the earthen bricks of the arrow stack. The Turkic cavalry was defeated and fled, and the last hope of defending the city seemed to have been lost, and Li Su had no hope at all in this lonely city.

"What's wrong with you?" Wang Zhu looked at Li Su's disgraced face and couldn't help but be anxious.

Li Su smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "I'm thinking." What kind of death should I choose, so that my image after death can be a little more majestic and majestic......"

Wang Zhu glared: "Who said it would die?" We're not going to die! Are there not more than 3,000 brothers here? ”

Li Su shook his head, too lazy to explain.

"If unexpected reinforcements arrive, the city will be destroyed, perhaps. The city will be broken today......" Li Su muttered: "I only hope that they can be a little polite and quality when they break the city, it is better not to spoil my corpse, let alone scratch my face, otherwise it will be a pity, of course, if you can find me a thin coffin to put in the ground, then thank God......"

Wang Zhu said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with you? Why do you say something frustrating? ”

Li Su weakly pointed to the battle formation outside the city, and sighed: "The enemy is the alliance of all countries, temporarily made up by the elite soldiers of various countries, like this kind of coalition army, the main general in the army must have a lot of constraints, these days to attack the city but not to resist, today was broken flank, the main general is no longer able to explain to the monarchs of various countries, his patience has reached the limit, see the battle formation outside the city now?" That's a terrible battle formation, I can guarantee that the main general has gone crazy, and the next round of siege will definitely be reckless and cost......"

"What a terrible battle formation...... Wang Zhu looked out of the city unconvinced, and his eyes suddenly straightened.

Behind the battle array, a large open space was set aside in vain, and more than 20 places on the open space were full of people, squatting on the ground and fiddling with a long pile of scattered logs, as if building blocks, and the wood gradually got higher and higher, and finally took shape.

Wang Zhu's eyes were straight, and the defenders on the city were also straight-eyed, and a sense of unease and panic slowly permeated the surroundings of the city.

"This ...... What are they doing? Wang Zhu asked blankly.

Li Su said weakly: "Stone throwing machine, they are assembling stone throwing machine, this master general is a meticulous person, the army is far away, and the army actually brought this thing, just wait for them to assemble the stone throwing car, then, it is not far from our unlucky days......

Wang Zhu pouted disdainfully: "Throw a few stones, what are you afraid of!" When the stone comes, I just dodge it. ”

Li Su said coldly: "Although this thing is called 'Stone Thrower', it doesn't necessarily throw stones, do you dare to guarantee that they won't throw other things in?" ”

"What's that?"

"I don't know what they'll throw away, in short, it's impossible to throw you a longevity peach."

Li Su sighed bitterly, in fact, no matter what you throw, it is not a good thing for Xizhou, even if you really only throw stones and smash them on the fragile rammed earth city wall of Xizhou, it is a big pit, and if you smash it a few more times, the city will almost be broken.

It's okay to throw stones, but the most fearful thing is to throw something more vicious and deadly, such as ......

******************************************************************

Li Su sometimes hates his crow's mouth, no matter what is good or bad, he can guess it.

At noon, after a full meal of battle, the enemy war drums beat and began to attack the city again.

This time, there were no thousands of troops coming like a tide, and it was indeed those stone throwers that were the first to strike.

The long arms of the aircraft redrew a half-arc in mid-air, and black objects were thrown out of the top, smashing wildly towards the city.

Li Su decisively ordered, and all the soldiers of the defenders hid, only to see dozens of large black canisters smashed on the road at the head of the city in mid-air, and then smashed into pieces.

Li Su's expression became more and more bitter.

Retribution, these days they threw small clay pots, blowing up the enemy camp chickens and dogs, today retribution is coming, the enemy threw over the big clay pot, the difference is that the clay pot is indeed full of things.

Dozens of canisters were all smashed at the head of the city, and after the canisters were broken, the liquid contained in them splashed out, and the defending soldiers suddenly felt bad, everyone smelled a strange smell, and an elderly veteran with rich battlefield experience sniffed vigorously, and then changed color, shouting: "It's fire oil!" Dog offal, they want to burn the city! ”

Li Su's face also changed, and he stood up and ordered loudly: "Immediately remove the earth-shattering thunder at the head of the city!" Fast! Otherwise, there will be big trouble! ”

All the soldiers also knew very well, and they hurriedly carried the earth-shattering thunder in the big baskets at the head of the city to the road under the city.

As soon as dozens of baskets of earth-shattering thunder moved down the city wall, a military general in the enemy battle array outside the city rode out, did not speak, and slowly put a lit arrow on the bowstring, pulled into a full moon, and finally swished, the rocket shot up the city wall impartially.

The entire city wall in the west has been soaked in the oil of the clay pot, and when it encounters fire, it burns, and with a bang, the city is burned with fire, and the sun and the moon change color!
