Chapter 157: Shi Dingwu's Beacon Love
Half an hour later, the West Gate was the main attacker, and the first group of siege warriors of about 3,000 appeared under the city gate.
The drums of war rang out, and the whining of trumpets sounded the overture to the attack.
"Kill"
Ngawangtu shouted.
Since both the offensive and defensive sides were not well prepared in this offensive and defensive battle, people became the decisive factor in this siege battle.
The Tubo army, which had overwhelming superiority in troops, stepped on strong and powerful steps, roared the earthquake and began their first official siege.
Unlike the Tang Dynasty, because Tibet is a plateau, many of the warriors in Tibet came from hunters and mountain people.
The Tibetan mountain people like to walk barefoot, their soles are wide and thick, they don't like to wear armor, they are all naked, and they only carry a steel knife in their hands.
If you only look at their combat style, it's just that they have discipline in the wild, and tacit understanding in the unrestrained.
Don't look at the warriors of Awangtu dressed as savages, they don't look like regular troops at all.
In fact, they are the most characteristic mountain warriors in Tibet, although they do not wear armor, they wear large oxen and large horses.
This kind of bull is sewn from bamboo and iron sheets, with wide rims and thin edges.
It can not only shelter from the wind and rain, but also resist bows and arrows, and can even be taken down and used as a shield.
At this moment, the three thousand mountain warriors who were on the charge shouted.
Three thousand pairs of thick soles stepped on the ground at the same time, booming, shaking the entire city of Shanzhou.
They marched with strong steps, lined up in loose formations, but with furious courage and strength, they attacked the enemy walls in the form of skirmishers.
It looks chaotic, but it's the best way to prevent the enemy's rain of arrows from causing heavy damage.
At Guo Xian's command, the long arrows of the right army rose into the air and fell violently on the top of the enemy's head, falling on the thick and wide oxen like a fish hitting a plantain.
There was a clanging and clattering sound, but there were very few enemies that could actually kill.
"Damn, these guys have two hits."
Xue Chuyu muttered.
"That's a good cow, I like it."
"Longbow Battalion, free fire!"
Guo Xian shouted hoarsely, his big bow in his hand, and he shot an arrow, which flew diagonally under the wide bull and hit the chest of a Tibetan warrior.
The Longbow Battalion fighters were excellent marksmen, and their level of free fire improved by leaps and bounds.
In the living target composed of countless people in front of him, the mountain people who cut down bamboo freely cut down every moving tree.
Long arrows whizzed through them, looking for gaps in the wide bull slurt, and then plunged ferociously into the chest of the enemy.
However, the rain of arrows from the enemy camp also roared, suppressing the fire with firepower and gaining a head start for their own soldiers.
In just a few moments, hundreds of the corpses of the stormtroopers had fallen on the ground, and dozens of soldiers had fallen from arrows on the city, and blood flowed all over the ground, staining the soil under their feet red.
Most of the Tibetan warriors quickly rushed to the city of Shanzhou.
Unlike the siege method that all the Tang soldiers have seen, these guys who are good at climbing do not use the simple climbing method of ladders, but each has a hook rope in their hands.
A long rope was wrapped around his waist, and a large iron hook was tied to one end.
They untied the hook from their bodies, swung the hook in their hands a few times, and threw it into the air, and the iron hook roared and flew towards the head of the city, and was grabbing the edge of the city.
The warriors below stepped on the city wall, grabbed the hook rope and exchanged their hands in turn, and ran all the way to the city, which made people stunned.
Three thousand hooks and ropes formed three thousand poisonous snakes at the head of Shanzhou City, fiercely bitten the Tang Dynasty soldiers, three thousand figures are light and fast, and they can reach the city head in a blink of an eye, such a way of attacking the city is unheard of.
At the same time, another group of 3,000 troops also began to move towards the city.
"Cut the rope ladder!"
It was the wild shouts of Xue Chuyu and Guo Xian and others.
However, the hook and rope of the Tibetan people is specially made, made of a mixture of cowhide, linen, silk, etc., soaked in oil, waterproof and not easy to break.
The warriors slashed down several times in a row, but the softness was powerless.
"With the cut!"
That was Li Xingzhou's wild shout, as a person with two thousand years of advanced experience.
He had heard a little about this hook and rope siege method of the Tibetans.
"It's too late!"
Xue Chuyu rushed to the front line of the city wall and roared wildly.
"Brothers! For the sake of Datang, kill! ”
A Tibetan soldier had just stepped on the city wall and just emerged, when Xue Chuyu had already stabbed him in the chest with a shot and kicked him down.
"Kill !!"
All the Zuo Wuwei and Zuo Guard soldiers shouted in unison, and at this time, a large number of mountain warriors had rushed to the top of the city and strangled with Zuo Wuwei and Zuo Wei soldiers.
......
Li Xingzhou kept killing, and at this time his hand had been replaced by a Pu knife, because the Pu knife was too physically demanding.
"Master Li, the brothers can't stand it anymore, this group of Tubo people is crazy, and they actually stepped on the bodies of their compatriots and rushed forward!"
Park Kyung-tae was angry and scared when he said this, and these Tubo people were like brutes, completely ignoring the life and death of their companions.
Because the Tubo people attacked too many people, and the city of Shanzhou was small, the attacking Tubo people were crowded together.
Many people were not killed by the Tang army, but trampled to death by their own people.
In the face of this scene, the Tubo people didn't care, and stepped on the bodies of their companions and rushed regardless of it.
Zuo Wuwei even had to take care of the corpses of his companions, let alone trample on each other.
However, the Tibetan people did not pay attention to this, which is really unreasonable.
The fight continues,
A Tibetan soldier climbed the wall and stabbed the Tang soldier in the chest, and blood spurted out instantly.
The Tang soldier gritted his teeth and stared at the Tibetan soldier without fear, his eyes were red, and he laughed like a madman.
"Tubo mongrel, if you want to kill your grandfather, grandpa will pull you even if he dies!"
The Tibetan soldiers couldn't understand what he was saying, but he knew what the Han people were doing.
The Han soldier hugged the Tibetan soldier in front of him tightly and slowly moved towards the edge of the city, now even a fool knows what this Han man is going to do.
The Tibetan soldiers definitely didn't want to do this, because the Han man was stabbed in the chest, and it was obvious that he couldn't live.
It is too unworthy to die with him at this time.
So the Tibetan soldier threw down his knife, slammed the Han soldier's hand, and shouted in the Tibetan language.
"Han barbarians, let go of Lao Tzu, you let go of Lao Tzu!"
In the end, the two of them fell off the city together, and the eyes of the Tibetan soldier were open until he died, and he was too unwilling to die, and he was killed by a person who was bound to die.
The same situation is constantly played out on the city wall, like a tragic parting song.
The soldiers of the Tang Army unleashed the kind of madness before death, they were not afraid of death, what else were they afraid of, gnashing their teeth, buttonholes, jumping over the wall, all the moves were used.
The Tubo people are crazy, and the Tang army is even crazier than the Tubo people.
In this world, smart people are not scary, and it is always those crazy people who are scary.
Because you have no idea what they are going to do next, if you don't pay attention at all, you can be bitten by a madman and fall into hell.
The Tang Army, which is not afraid of death, makes the Tubo people afraid!
The Tibetans are very heroic, but they don't want to die with this group of mortal people.
Everyone wants to make their death more worthwhile, to die with those who are going to die, so what about the glory after victory to others?
The Tibetans were timid and retreated, but the Tang army did not retreat.
Especially Zuo Wuwei's people, they felt that it was already a miracle to be able to survive from Shanzhou.
Now it's all about earning, killing one to earn one, and dying as you deserve.
With General Xue Wu and Master Li dying with them, they still care about a ball.
In the first round of attack, more than 2,000 Tibetans successfully entered the city, and Ngawangtu in the distance also showed a satisfied look, but the next moment, the situation changed sharply.
The mountain warriors who landed at the top of the city were about to kill the defenders of the city, but suddenly their feet hurt.
They bowed their heads in horror, but now the ground was sprinkled with thistles and gravel.
What is different from the past is that this time the Tang soldiers did not sprinkle these thistles and stone slag under the city wall, but sprinkled them on the city.
Although they didn't know much about the characteristics of the mountain warriors, when they saw the strange guys walking barefoot in big oxen and big hats, they realized that this could be an opportunity to take advantage of.
No matter how solid the soles of the feet were, they couldn't stop the sharp thistles, and Zuo Wuwei and Zuo Wei didn't spill them under the city walls because then the opponent would have a chance to clear the battlefield.
Scattering them on the walls can be hugely useful after the opponent has ascended the city.
The Tang soldiers in cowhide boots and the Tubo soldiers with bare feet stepped on the thorny road at the same time, and there was no doubt that the one who lacked protection suffered more.
So in the blink of an eye, the mountain warriors danced and carried knives to fight, and it really became a dance among the knives.
There were also some soldiers who did not come up, seeing that the opponent's city was in danger, and they couldn't find their feet for a while, and some of them reacted quickly and slipped directly down the city wall along the hook rope.
The reaction of this group of mountain warriors was really slippery, as soon as they saw that the opponent was fierce, and there was no place to stay on the city, they immediately retreated, and in the blink of an eye, more than 2,000 soldiers who came up slipped back to about 2,000 people, Zuo Wuwei and Zuo Weileng were unable to retain much, and both sides of the war were a little sluggish.
"Damn, are these guys fishy? Come and go back if you want? ”
Li Xingzhou scolded.
Xue Chuyu said in a deep voice.
"Mountain warriors are a very distinctive type of troops of the Tibetan people, characterized by light and fast, dexterous, the best at fighting in mountainous areas, strong individual combat ability, but suffer from the lack of sufficient defense capabilities, and the nature is slippery, not easy to control. But the next time they attack, they should think about wearing shoes. ”
The use of the mountain warriors' ability to climb in an attempt to get down the city quickly is due to their ape-like dexterity, but also to their unfettered personality and weak defenses
This time, there was a thrilling attack, which also made Zuo Wuwei and all the soldiers of Zuo Wei take a long breath, and finally knew that there were too many strange people in this world who could do what they thought was impossible.
Soon, the real Tibetan offensive will begin again, and at that time, even more brutal slaughter awaits them.
......
Shi Dingwu didn't know how long he had killed, nor how many enemies he had killed.
All he knew was that the long day had been spent on the battlefield.
The enemy advanced and retreated, retreated and advanced, and the sunlight changed from warm to intense, and then gradually dimmed, until dusk, when the enemy finally retreated.
The warriors were so tired that they did not dare to leave the tower, so they dipped themselves in blood with their weapons and fell into a deep sleep.
A small number of soldiers who were not injured were formed into night patrols, which began to patrol the law and order at night to prevent the people in the county town from taking advantage of the situation and joining forces with the enemy outside. In a land full of enemies, they can't afford to be careful for a moment.
Shi Dingwu walked alone on the streets of Shanzhou City, like a lonely ghost.
He had never felt so tired since he became a soldier, and his life was full of killing, blood, and cries before death.
And this time, perhaps, was the last battle of his life.
Reinforcements...... When will reinforcements arrive? He thought helplessly.
The candle flame of a house not far away looked so dazzling in this bleak and cold night.
With a move in his heart, he came to the door and shouted softly:
"Is there anyone in there?"
A girl came out, who was the one in the daytime, her clear eyes flashing with horror and doubt:
"You ......"
Shi Dingwu's face showed a sincere smile:
"Don't be afraid, I'm just here to remind you that it's best not to light any more candles at this time."
The girl was confused:
"Why?"
"The soldiers on the night patrol have seen it, and will come to see what you are doing, to prevent you from doing a danger to our army. They will search and interrogate you, and it's just a hassle anyway. ”
"Oh."
The girl immediately hurried back into the house, blew out the candle, and then crept out and spoke softly.
"Thank you."
Shi Dingwu scratched his head embarrassedly.
"My name is Shi Dingwu, if any of my soldiers come to bother you, you can tell them my name, and it will be fine."
The girl nodded shyly.
"I see, I'll go back if it's okay."
Seeing her turn around to leave, Shi Dingwu suddenly felt a little anxious for some reason, and he shouted.
"Can I know your name?"
The girl's face blushed more and more, and her voice was as low as a mosquito humming: It's called Linzhi. ”
"Nyingchi?"
Shi Dingwu grinned.
When I returned, my steps were much lighter, in the bloody storm and the fear of my future fate.
Nyingchi is like the point in the ocean, which not only illuminates the road, but also warms people's hearts.
When he returned to the camp, he heard Xue Chuyu's shouting and scolding.
"These bitches really look up to our Zuo Wuwei and Zuo Wei, and there are 50,000 reinforcements. 150,000 people! Damn, 150,000 people can't beat 10,000! ”
Shi Dingwu smiled.
He said to the soldiers.
"Get me some reishi, I want to eat it."
The soldier ran away in surprise.
"Eat Ganoderma lucidum? General Shi wants to make up for it like this! ”
That night, he slept soundly, and the army outside the city seemed to him to be just an insignificant passerby.
