Chapter 236: Shocking Roar
Chapter 236: Shocking Roar
"General Zuo Lang, you take the brothers to the east gate, and the last general will stay behind!" Ye Guan saw that the situation was not good, and shouted loudly.
"Childe, let's go!" Zhang Nan got a long knife out of nowhere, guarded Yang Qing's side tightly, and slashed at will between the blocks, instantly ending the life of an enemy soldier.
Yang Qing looked back, and the black-pressed enemy army had already pounced, and the Arab scimitar raised high stirred up a cold light that rushed to the sky. The streets were narrow, and the reinforcements were too numerous to deploy, but they were well trained, and they could vaguely see a group of men and horses on the left and right finding another way forward.
Yang Qing was in turmoil at the moment, he didn't know what was wrong. With Sima Chuan's prudence, he would never drag Jian Yuwei to such a dangerous situation, he must have made this suggestion after finding out the enemy's situation, not to mention, wasn't the surprise attack on the city gate extraordinarily smooth? If this is a trap set by the big cannibal, Yang Qing would not believe it if he was killed - tens of thousands of grains and grass were burned by himself! Who would be willing to pay such a big price for a trap?
The current situation can no longer allow Yang Qing to think about it, and if he hesitates a little, he will never recover!
"Ye Guan, you lead two groups of people to stay behind to block the enemy!" Yang Qing gritted his teeth and ordered, "Take out your real skills!" ”
A fierce touch flashed from under Ye Guan's eyes: "The last general will take orders!" General Zuo Lang, you go first! ”
Yang Qing grabbed Ye Guan, who turned around: "Remember!" Fight and retreat, don't stay away from the brigade! I'm waiting for you at the East City Gate, and I can't see you come back, so Jian Yuwei will guard the East Gate! ”
Ye Guan's eyes turned red instantly, he didn't want to be at this moment, but he understood Yang Qing's insistence: "Yes!" ”
"Zhang Nan, take the lead!" Yang Qing roared angrily, drew his sword in his hand, and stretched his beard, "Jianyu Wei Erlang listens to the order!" Follow the Ben and kill! ”
Yang Qing got inspiration from Qi Jiguang's training in the Ming Dynasty and transplanted it into Jian Yuwei's daily group combat training. A group of ten people, two with spears or knives in front of the front, flanked by four horizontal sword and round shield hands, in the center there are two lancers, depending on the situation to support the front or side, the remaining two must be the best crossbow in the group, ready to deter the enemy with cold crossbow arrows! With such a charging array, it is rare for Jian Yuwei to be able to train to advance and retreat freely even on a horse, this is the true strength of the Tang Emperor's army!
Once Jian Yuwei launched with all his strength, sure enough, all the blockers were invincible, and soon, the large army had already reached the east gate. Without waiting for the sergeant who had left to guard the door to step forward, Yang Qing lifted the reins of the horse with a murderous spirit, raised his palm, and the soldiers behind him did not wait for orders, and immediately occupied the favorable terrain and laid down the formation.
Sure enough, almost at the same time that Jian Yuwei took his heels, the Great Food Army of the North and South Circuits had already appeared from the other two street entrances at the same time.
"Crossbow, let's go!" With the roar of the two battalion lieutenants in the army, the crossbow arrows of Qi Brush roared out like an overwhelming blast, mercilessly harvesting the lives of the enemy soldiers.
Yang Qing was as solid as a rock, ignoring the battle situation on both sides, and a pair of anxious eyes were fixed on the way he came.
did not disappoint him, half a pillar of incense time, Ye Guan's burly figure was like a demon god, shocked under the night. It's just that there are only a few riders left.
Yang Qing's heart ached, and he knew that the figure that did not appear would never be able to return to his homeland......
"Zuo Lang General, the last general is incompetent, and he has damaged the ......" Ye Guanyu choked up, and without waiting for the mount to stop, he wanted to dismount and ask for guilt.
Yang Qing smiled reluctantly and raised his hand to stop Ye Guan: "Don't stop, go out of the city!" ”
Ye Guan didn't dare to disobey the order, so he grabbed the horse's belly fiercely, and took several brothers who had survived the catastrophe out of the city.
Seeing that the enemy was shot by the bow and crossbow, and began to raise his shield and slowly press forward, Yang Qing smiled coldly, called the battalion captain who was directing the blockade, and whispered a few words.
Jian Yuwei began to withdraw from the city gate in an orderly manner, and at the same time, he also left a gift for his opponent under the doorway - two hundred sky-shaking thunders, which were neatly stacked directly below the doorway. In other words, the east gate of Tuozhi City has been put down with nearly three hundred catties of black powder.
"Out of town!"
With Yang Qing's order, the last group of Jian Yuwei who blocked the enemy turned over and got on their horses, and the horses' hooves flew up, stirring up bursts of dust, and under the afterglow of the torches, a bunch of black round bumps looked particularly weird......
Estimating that the distance was almost over, Yang Qing pulled the reins violently, restrained the momentum of Aiqi's rush forward, and nodded lightly to Zhang Nan beside him: "Yanxi, for the brothers, see you off!" ”
Zhang Nan replied: "Yes! ”
"Phew!" A fiery arrow ignited the fuse on the torch, Zhang Nan did not pull the horse's head, turned around at 180 degrees, bent the bow and arrows, and did not see the slightest pause, "swish", the first fiery arrow used in actual combat in Datang, as fast as a meteor, shot directly at Tuozhi City!
I don't know if Jian Yuwei's luck is good or bad, what happened today is really weird. From Sima Chuan's infiltration into the city to Yang Qing's army burning down the granary, all the way down was extremely smooth, but just when everyone thought that the task was about to end, Leng Shi suddenly killed thousands of enemy troops, which scared Yang Qing firmly.
He didn't know that this group of Great Food Soldiers had just entered the city, and they hurried over because they saw the skyrocketing fire. Baste was ordered by the Governor of Abu, who was far away in the state of Mulu, to gather another 8,000 men, and rushed to Tuozhi City and Whitewater City day and night—Abu was still worried that if these two supply areas were lost, it would be useless for the Talas side to win the war, and they could only withdraw their troops in disgrace. Baste was in charge of garrisoning the city, he hurried slowly, and finally arrived at the city of the city, and the heart that had just been put down had not yet calmed down, but he immediately saw the monstrous fire burning in the west of the city! At this moment, Bastet's soul suddenly flew out of the sky, if the fire could not be saved, most of his life would not be guaranteed, how could he not hate?
Baste could only order the rear army to fetch water to put out the fire on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was angry and strictly ordered the forward Atwell to be sure to annihilate the enemy who was sneaking up!
Although Atwell was annoyed by Bastet's unkind behavior of spitting in his face, he also understood that his boss was really angry. Although the enemy's crossbow arrows were extremely sharp, they had to rush forward. As soon as he noticed that the rain of arrows had suddenly stopped, he didn't care if it was the enemy's trick, but he still led people to rush to the city gate first.
"General, be careful! There's a rocket ......," one of Atwell's entourage exclaimed, and then abruptly shut up.
Atwell was really frightened, but when he looked up, his face suddenly became strange: "An arrow? What is this ...... for? ”
"Poof!" With a soft sound, the fiery arrow was inserted into the earth-shattering thunder impartially, and the rapidly burning fuse burst into brilliant sparks in the thick white smoke, which was about to come to an end.
Atwell and the big food soldiers beside him subconsciously looked down in the direction of the arrow, what is this? Briquettes?
Baste stared at the fire in front of him with a blank look, and his mind went blank.
"General, the fire is too big......" A burnt hand stumbled and stumbled, his helpless expression revealing deep panic.
"Why...... How did you get in? Baste didn't seem to hear his subordinates at all, and thought hard, "How can you let so many people come in and set fire?" What did the defenders of the city gate eat? ”
"You say!" Bastey's face suddenly became hideous, and he grabbed the placket of the poor man's clothes, "The city gate ......"
"Boom !!"
Baste subconsciously let go of his hand, completely shocked into a fool.
The subordinate was not prepared for a moment by the sudden letting go, or was frightened and weakened, and sat on the ground with his ass open enough to swallow a chicken.
Next to the two demented children, a huge granary that had been burned to the ground and crumbled for a long time collapsed.
The heavens shake, the heavens really shake.
A loud sound like thunder, with the east gate of the city as the center, rippled rapidly in a waveform. Yang Qing could feel that under such a huge impact, the East City Gate was completely destroyed, leaving a mess of big food soldiers at most, if they were not all blown up.
And also...... Thirteen brothers who died heroically.
Yang Qing dismounted, knelt down, and kowtowed towards Tuozhi City.
Jian Yuwei dismounted in unison and kowtowed three times.
"Zuo Lang will ......" Ye Guan stepped forward lightly and helped Yang Qing, who had been kneeling for a long time, "Please mourn." ”
Yang Qing turned his head, and under his red eyes, there were two tears. He doesn't wipe it either, and no one thinks he's ashamed.
"The enemy is in a panic for a while, and they will continue to chase them out from the north and south gates. Can't delay, let's go, back to the camp! ”
"Back to camp!" Jian Yuwei let out an earth-shattering roar.
"The Tanma of Tuozhi City will definitely report this situation to Samtar and Whitewater City. If we want to get back to camp safely, we can't at least be slower than their horses! Yang Qing uncharacteristically spurred the love to ride Huoliuyun, while discussing loudly with Ye Guan and Sima Chuan, "Remember, take a detour from the north of Baishui City, and try not to alarm the defenders in the city." Maybe you can gouge it out behind Talus! ”
There was no moon tonight, and more than 400 horsemen galloped on the road from Tuozhi City to Baishui City, and the horses' hooves rumbled, rolling up the yellow sand in the sky.
Suddenly, Ye Guan found that something was wrong on both sides of the road, but unfortunately he couldn't see it really. With a move in his mind, Ye Guan suddenly threw the torch in his hand towards the right front.
"Zuo Lang General! On both sides of the road are marching stoves! ”
Yang Qing was taken aback when he heard this: "Stop!" Dismount and take a closer look! ”
Ye Guan was right, on both sides of the road, there were all simple marching stoves, and there were hundreds of them.
Ye Guan stretched out his hand and took out a handful of ashes, his face was solemn: "It's not cold yet, at most half a day." Moreover, even if there are ten people in one stove, there are three or four thousand people. ”
"There is an interception in front, and there are pursuers in the rear." Sima Chuan's voice was astringent, "This is a reinforcement from the direction of Samtar, in order to strengthen the city defense of Tuozhi City and Baishui City...... Let's catch up with ......"
"General Zuo Lang, what should we do now?" Ye Guan naturally asked the confusion that was haunting everyone's hearts.
yes, at this moment, where to go?
