Chapter 240: Wanting to Get the Lead

The sound of fighting in the distance was faintly heard, and Guo Xi had already led people to quietly touch behind the bushes on the north side of Talas City.

Sima Lin secretly stretched out half of his head, carefully peeking at the layout of the city defense and the number of people.

"General Zhonglang, these melon seeds are very careless, just four people, two swimming whistles, one on each corner."

"It can't be said that people melon, in this direction they originally arranged thousands of light horses. Besides, we don't know exactly what is going on inside......" Guo Xi waved his hand, "Don't say it's useless, take a closer look, is it possible to let most of them quietly lean over and catch them off guard?" ”

Sima Lin's face was embarrassed: "I'm afraid it's not easy." It's not difficult for a dozen of us to touch it, but the army moves...... This place is not covered, so it is not easy to do. In addition, in the eyes of the last general, even if the army can lurk over, it is of little use, the city walls are tall and smooth, it is not easy to climb, and if it is detected by the enemy, it is an extremely passive situation. ”

Guo Xi nodded silently, turned around and asked, "What do you think?" ”

The commanders of the four brigades were silent in thought, everyone knew it, not that more than 4,000 people of Jian Yuwei couldn't take the city defense, but if they wanted to solve the problem without blood, everyone had no choice.

"With a firearm, fuck it!" Yuan Jin couldn't stand the sullen atmosphere and took the lead.

Guo Xi looked around, and everyone nodded one after another, with a lot of hope in their eyes.

"Good! No more hiding! Guo Xi roared, "Go and prepare for the flying thunder and blow up the city tower!" ”

"Kai Yu Zhonglang General! The battle ahead is stalemate, and the Anxi army has signs of running out! ”

Guo Xi stopped arranging his firearms in surprise: "What's the matter?" Make it clear! ”

The biggest advantage of a crossbow over a bow is its long range and high accuracy, but the biggest disadvantage is also obvious, slow reloading. When the Great Food Light Cavalry clinged closely, the Anxi Army had no choice but to abandon the use of crossbows, and even the efficiency of the bow and arrow was greatly reduced - after all, this was a weapon that relied more on parabola.

Li Siye had already killed the red eye, the resoluteness of the enemy's light cavalry had never been seen before, and the pressure on him was unprecedentedly strong, and he could only fight and retreat at present. The Shule army withdrew from the front line closest to the enemy to the left flank, because it was worried that the opponent would see the clue too early, and Li Siye took the time to give the order until the end, so there was an extremely rare panic in the Shule army. Obviously, this little panic has been tightly grasped by the big cannibals.

It is difficult for the Mo knife to be effective on the horse, and for long weapons that rely on waist strength very much, the next game must be stable to give strength. Li Siye looked up, saw that his own square was in chaos, and the fierce light in his eyes was prominent, so he simply abandoned his mount and jumped down, snatched the Mo knife in the hands of the guards and shouted: "Mo knife hand, stand up to the enemy!" ”

Rao is surroundings were constantly in the hustle and bustle, and the Mo swordsmen in the Shule army were still shocked by Li Siye's roar, and after a while, they all took their weapons in their hands and turned around.

"I'll fight according to this today!" Li Siye murderously dragged behind him with a Mo knife, drawing a deep long line, "But there is a Mo knife hand who escaped and retreated from this line, slash!" ”

The three hundred Mo swordsmen were silent, and they all took a step forward, crossing the line of life and death.

Murderous!

The Great Food Cavalry had seen the power of Tang Mo's swordsman, and he had reflexively strangled the horse's head as early as when Li Siye dismounted with his sword. At this moment, when he saw the three hundred Mo swordsmen standing in front of him like a steel city wall, he gasped even more, and the timid even took a few steps back.

In the scene of hundreds of thousands of people hedging and killing each other, 300 people are really insignificant, but the momentum of these 300 people is far better than thousands of troops!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Khotanese army finally stabilized its position. After a while, it was another three hundred Mo swordsmen who stood firmly behind the Shule Army Mo Sword Team. It is not only to enhance the combat power, but also to supervise the battle - if the front team retreats, the rear team will mercilessly kill the deserters! What you want is for the whole army to advance like a wall, and when it is broken, the enemy is like powder, and the momentum is unstoppable!

"Kill!" Abdullah was in a hurry, if he was so frightened by the Tang army that he didn't dare to move, today this Talas city would be the burial place of more than 100,000 people. If you don't fight now, when will you wait?

The rumbling thunder started again, and in the neighing of the horses of the Great Eclipse Cavalry, the two armies were strangled together again, like two huge waves, colliding fiercely, stirring up another bloody storm!

"General Zhonglang, how to deal with it, you have to make a decision quickly!"

Yuan Jin is an anxious person, and he couldn't hold back when he saw Guo Xi pacing and thinking, but in fact, Guo Xi hadn't had time to take the long test.

Guo Xi didn't seem to hear Yuan Jin's shouting at all, and he was feeling irritable in his heart. Gao Xianzhi's strategy was successful, using Ge Lulu to trick the Great Cannibal into an ambush circle, but ...... But there are too many enemies in the trap. In terms of the Great Eclipse, 40,000 elites poured out, and although the 130,000 horses of the Nine Surnamed Zhuhu Kingdom were transferred to guard Talas and the surrounding arteries, the remaining 100,000 people were all invested in today's decisive battle. Nearly 40,000 people in Anguo, Mi and Kang, who are slightly stronger in battle, have been mixed into the two wings, and the remaining 60,000 are pressed in the rear.

Such a large piece of bone, with the 20,000 men of the Anxi Army and the 30,000 men of Qarluq, is absolutely impossible to gnaw away.

What should Jian Yuwei do?

Continuing with the previous deployment siege? What if you take it down? If the front collapses and the dumplings are not wrapped, but the stuffing breaks the skin and spoils the whole pot of soup, will the Talas won by that time be offensive or defensive?

U-turn to support the main battlefield? Although Jian Yuwei is the elite of the elite, more than 4,000 people can really change the situation on the entire battlefield? And even if you can, how?

Cao Lang frowned when he saw the lord, and knew that it was time for him to join the army and speak.

"Zhonglang General, the last general has a plan, I don't know ......"

"Speak!"

Cao Lang settled down, and did not rush to speak, but squatted down, picked up a stone and began to draw a map of the situation.

"The current situation is that the enemy forces on both flanks are large, and our army is limited, although we deliberately open up an ambush to surround it, it is difficult to annihilate it completely. If the stalemate continues, the rear of the enemy army will press forward, and our Anxi army will be pressed by the enemy to the bank of the river. Judging from the last general, if you want to solve the predicament of the Anxi army, my Jian Yuwei should quickly take Talas, and then inform the high marshal, let Bakhana cross the river to meet the Anxi army and the Qarlu army, and the army will slowly disperse to both sides, avoid the enemy's momentary limelight, and then detour to the city to set up defenses, and the enemy is easy to attack and defend the place is the best policy! ”

Guo Xi pondered for a while, and then flatly refused: "No! ”

Cao Lang was stunned, and he still needed to talk about it in detail, but he heard Guo Xi Zhengyan say: "Have you forgotten General Zuo Lang?" After Ziyin's surprise attack on the enemy, if he really destroyed the enemy's food and grass, they would soon get the information. At this time, it is easy to attack and defend with the enemy, they have no food to rely on, and they will not want to confront our army for a long time, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not turn around and go to Broken Leaf City! There are not many defenders in Shattered Leaf City, and once the city is breached by the Great Cannibals, all the efforts of our army here will be in vain! What's more, the big cannibal who has a desperate heart now will easily let the Anxi army come over? ”

"This ......" Cao Lang was speechless.

"But ......" Guo Xi stared at the situation map on the ground for a while, and suddenly smiled slightly, "It's a good move to win Talas first." ”

"General Zuo, what is the best countermeasure?" Zhao Wei is Guo Xi's old subordinate since the time of the forbidden army, and when he saw Guo Xi's playful smile, he knew that General Guo was only afraid that he had a bottom.

"I'll talk about it later, but now let's go and prepare." Guo Xi stood up, clapped his hands relaxedly, and looked calm, "Talas City is small, and it can't accommodate too many soldiers and horses, and we have carefully reconnoitred the enemy's deployment in the past few days, and now the defenders in the city will not exceed two thousand." Zhao Wei, the Diaoxiang Brigade is responsible for all the divine fire crows in the army, only a little, with the bow and crossbow to suppress the head of the city; Pan Shi, the Eagle Yang Brigade attacked the North City Gate, used the Flying Thunder and the Shocking Thunder, saved a little use, and blasted open the city gate to record your great achievement; Yuan Jin, Peng Ao's brigade should rush in as soon as possible, leave nothing else, and take the east and south city gates; Dou Yong's Falcon Flying Brigade is responsible for clearing the enemy forces in the city. Let's go our separate ways and do it right away. Remember, take out the housekeeping skills, I want to be fast! ”

"Yes!" The commander of the Fourth Brigade didn't say much, and hurried away with his fists clenched.

"Cao joins the army," Guo Xi remembered that Fang Cai had unceremoniously rejected Cao Lang's proposal, and smiled at him with relief, "Come on, you and I have to discuss again, after taking Talas City, we have to fight again......"

According to Guo Xi's small abacus in his heart, if he captures Talas quickly, there may be hope to capture the main general of the Great Eater, in that case, the enemy's command will be paralyzed, and the morale blow will kill them. It's a pity that Qi Yade was angry and anxious, and his "clever plan" became a stinky chess, and at this time he had already gone out of the city in person, urging the troops surnamed Zhuhu Jiu to come forward to relieve the siege of the Great Food Army, and escaped by mistake.

However, the more than 2,000 defenders who remained in Talas were not so lucky, and they were about to see the power of the world's first mass-produced hot weapons, terrifying power.

When the sentry of He Guo on the tower of the city saw the scene under the city, he was so surprised that his mouth couldn't close: a cavalry of more than 1,000 people, holding various melee weapons, rushed towards the city gate at high speed - what kind of tactics is this? Just want to rush straight into the city? We've closed the gates, right?

His first reaction was not "where did this cavalry come from", in fact, it was logically a normal reaction, but Yuan Jin's Peng Ao Brigade attacked a fortified city made of stone walls in this way, which still opened the eyes of this little soldier. As an experienced person who has seen the siege methods of the Anxi army and only changed the guard here from the south gate a few days ago, there is really no second good explanation except to understand the group of Tang troops in front of him as crazy.

Well? Wait a minute. There were others behind them...... What are you fiddling with...... Trebuchet?
