In Lengquan Pass, everything that can be demolished has been demolished by the Shatuo army, and every house has no roof, and those adobe bricks and stones are used by the Shatuo army to defend on the city wall.

Li Sizhao took out his lance and looked at the forbidden soldiers who kept pouring into the city wall, looking calm.

The shouts of killing in front of him never stopped, and more than 500 soldiers behind Li Sizhao followed Li Sizhao and stood there quietly.

No one spoke, let alone escaped.

There were 4,000 horses outside, and the elite Shatuo cavalry were all one person and two horses, so they could run long distances.

If they wanted to escape, they could run at any time, but they all chose to stay.

"General, the forbidden army has come in!"

Li Sizhao looked back at the soldiers behind him, and said sharply, "This battle is about our Hedong and the fate of our Shatuo. ”

In fact, Li Sizhao is not from Shatuo, but from the Han nationality, whose real name is Han Jintong.

It's a pity that he was snatched away from his biological father by Li Keyong since he was a child, and handed over to his brother Li Kerou to raise.

Strictly speaking, Li Sizhao is Li Kerou's adopted son.

However, later Li Keyong saw that he was quite courageous, brave and good at fighting, and became more and more outstanding in Li Kerou's home, so he once again snatched love and accepted him as his adopted son.

However, he left his biological father since he was a child, and he has long regarded himself as a Shatuo person.

"Swear to fight the general to the end!"

"Fight to the end!"

There was a hint of tragedy in the shouts, but in the eyes of these people, there was only a look of determination, and they were proud of Shatuo!

In the end, the city walls were all lost, and dense Forbidden Army soldiers poured in from the city walls, and the barriers at the city gates began to be cleared, which meant that more Forbidden Army soldiers would appear in the city.

Looking at the subordinates behind him who did not have the slightest intention of retreating, Li Sizhao's face showed a long-lost look of relief.

"Okay, kill the enemy with me!"

"Kill!"

After speaking, Li Sizhao waved his long lance, and after a loud roar, he took the lead in rushing towards the forbidden army that was constantly being used.

。。。。。。

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

Dense small lead bullets flew in the air, and the horses and soldiers who were hit all screamed miserably, and then fell on their backs.

Several small lead bullets visible to the naked eye flew towards a Shatuo soldier, easily passing through the armor of the Shatuo army, and blood gushed out immediately.

He tried to cover his wounds, but there were wounds all over his body, and there were bullet holes all over his body. A trace of puzzlement flashed in his dilated pupils, why the armor couldn't stop it...

"Ahh

Everywhere a large number of lead bullets passed, there was a scream, and the formation of the entire charge appeared to be in great confusion for a while.

"Hiss。。。。。"

In the back, Li Cunxian was also shocked when he saw this scene.

The initial solid bullet attack already made them feel a little wrong, who would have thought that there would be so many casualties at once.

"What's going on? Why do the troops in the city still have so many of these weapons? ”

"Aren't they all at the North Gate? Why is that? ”

"I don't know! I don't know! ”

Looking at the Shatuo warriors who kept falling, Li Cunxian's face was in a panic, just now, at least thousands of people were killed and injured, and this is not even to the city wall!

"Gai Ya, do we still have any hope of winning?" Li Cunxian turned his head sideways.

Gai Yu's face was also a little flustered, but would he order a retreat now?

He was also a little unwilling!

"Did you find it, every time the forbidden army uses this weapon, there is a break, and we can take advantage of their break to rush to the city wall.

The walls of Pingyao are not high, and our warriors can easily climb up from horseback, as long as we attack the city, we have hope. ”

Li Cunxian seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and nodded hurriedly, "That's right, as long as we enter the city, no one can stop our Shatuo warriors." I'll go in person, I don't believe I can't smash this turtle shell! ”

。。。。。。

"Commander, the Shatuo army is already approaching a hundred paces!"

"Musket ready!"

Indeed, the rate of fire of the artillery was indeed spaced, and the cavalry rushed very quickly, and if the Shatuo army charged desperately, these alone could not stop the Shatuo cavalry.

The cannon was still firing, but the next main force was the musketeers armed with bamboo assault muskets.

The musketeers quickly came to the city walls, opened the wooden boxes, and took out what could be described as disposable muskets.

"The first row... Salvo! ”

"Bang bang bang!"

As the Shatuo cavalry rushed into a distance of eighty paces, the musketeers finally achieved their first salvo.

Although the range of the assault rifle is as high as more than 100 paces, it is best to control the effective range within 100 steps.

And the distance of eighty steps is also a bit far, and the killing effect is not very good.

Seeing that the defenders in the city were not fighting back, one by one the Shatuo soldiers shouted, and then quickly charged towards the city wall.

"The second row... Salvo! ”

After the smoke of gunpowder, the first platoon found that the shooting effect of the others was not good, and hurriedly retreated.

The soldiers of the second row immediately came to the front and lit the fuse.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Phew..."

"Ahh

Compared with the first round of volleys, the second chaotic salvo was much better, and in an instant, hundreds of Shatuo cavalry fell off their horses.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

After a few rounds of shooting, the Shatuo army paid a heavy price, from the beginning of the charge, to now, the nine thousand Shatuo cavalry have paid a price of more than three thousand before rushing to the vicinity of the city wall.

Seeing the city wall not far away, these Shatuo soldiers had a long-lost smile on their faces.

You wait!

Basically, every Shatuo cavalry was shouting like this in their hearts, looking at the defenders on the city wall, and flashing a trace of ruthlessness.

Long Zhi didn't expect that the muskets couldn't stop these Shatuo cavalry, and when he saw the Shatuo cavalry who were about to rush to the front of the city tower, his face changed slightly.

Some Shatuo soldiers drew their bows and shot arrows directly on horseback, causing some casualties among the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion.

"Artillery cover, thunder!"

The Shatuo army can't be allowed to get close to the city wall, this city wall is less than a zhang, and it can't stop the Shatuo people at all.

Zuo Pingcang was also a little flustered, and hurriedly ordered the gunner to continue firing, while he and the rest of the people took out the earth-shaking thunder, lit the fuse, and threw it out directly.

Before the lead was burned, the Shatuo cavalry had already rushed into a distance of twenty paces.

Looking at the hideous-looking Shatuo soldier, a soldier panicked, and the earth-shattering thunder in his hand was ignited but he didn't throw it out.

"You're looking for death, why don't you throw it out quickly?"

Frightened by this, the soldier hurriedly threw people out.

And the Shatuo cavalry outside the city wall was also a little strange when they saw so many black bumps thrown out of the city tower.

"What is this? You want to stop us by relying on this? Why did you go early! ”

At this moment, these Shatuo cavalry who rushed to the front suddenly felt a hot wave of qi sweeping from all directions!
