Soon, as it was approaching dusk, the sound of fighting near Checheng was loud again.

The sound of the cannon came to the ears of the man with a strong force along the wind, it was coming from his own right flank, and the cannons of the Tang Army's Checheng seemed to be fired from that side, rumbling.

As for the center and left flanks of the dinosaur, they began to launch a fierce attack on Checheng.

On the fear of the wave anxious to rush forward, beside him one by one the bird envoys rode horses, shuttled back and forth in the snow curtain, ran forward a hundred steps away, he stretched out his horsewhip, stopped a bird envoy, and asked him, "Has the Tang Army's Checheng trench been taken down?" ”

The flying bird's face was covered with frost and snow, and he couldn't see his face clearly, but he himself could recognize that the theory of fear waves was the great theory of Qinghai Dao, so he hurriedly replied

"The Tang soldiers' firecrackers are as fierce as this snow, and the small Dongdai and the Praetorian Guards in front of them are asking for more reinforcements."

He grabbed him by the shoulders and shouted, "What I ask is, have the Yongs taken it, or have they filled the trenches of the Tang soldiers?" ”

"It's not clear, it's big, it's not clear." The voice was very anxious.

"Then let me find out again!" The flaming of the horse's whip struck the other man's shoulder, and the bird hurried to grasp the vein, and his mount neighed, raised its front hooves, and soon disappeared into the snow.

"Let Cai Bang Mangtso send five or six more Dongdai here, and the attack must be without interruption."

When he was two hundred steps away from the Tang Army's Checheng, he saw a purgatory-like scene, no, or for him, a great nobleman of Western Tibet, it was not so cruel

After all, the mediocre people are not people, they are in groups, carrying bales of straw and firewood to rush to the front of the car city, catapults or rudimentary bows, in this weather is no longer usable, and in front of them, the Tang army's car city is connected by tall vehicles, and the women's wall-like box boards are erected, and the plates are chiseled with perforations, some are used for fire guns, some are used for tiger light artillery, and there are also strong earthen walls between each car, on which are inserted dense pointed wooden stakes that stand obliquely with deer, and deep trenches - the fire gunners and gunners of the Tang soldiers, standing behind the box boards, On the forts, or behind the deer, there were walls that could shoot flames and smoke, and even their orders and shouts were muffled, and only vaguely swaying figures could be seen, behind the billowing smoke.

The Tang Army's firearm has a movable lid, which can still be used freely in this snowy day.

In this way, they were knocked down by the firecrackers, harvested by the cannons, the corpses were either planted in the snow, some rolled into the ditch, the front died, and the back picked up the bundles to continue running, and in the rain of bullets they squirmed numbly forward, surrounded by the terrible howls of the dying or the faint moaning of the Buddha's name.

"Buddha, may I live comfortably and understand in my next life"

However, at this moment, the lives of the mediocre are not as valuable as a bundle of firewood and grass.

One by one, the cavalry or escorts of the Western and Eastern Dais galloped back and forth, whipping their horses on their backs, shouting and urging them to get close to the trenches, throw down the bundles of firewood and straw, and fill them up.

In the firelight, there were trampled, dirty, bloodstained snow everywhere, and curled up corpses, and a little farther away, Xifan Xiaodongdai and the forbidden army also seized the time, gnawing on the barley noodles in their arms, so that the stomach regained heat, and they immediately had to climb the Tang Soldier Che City and meet them in short combat.

The shameful Tang soldiers, all these despicable cannons and crossbow arrows.

When engaging in battle immediately, if you catch any Tang soldier, you have to cut off his wrist first.

In the car city, the flickering firelight reflected Gao Yue's face in the tent, "Guo Zaizhen is fighting indiscriminately, why do you want to use fire on Yong who swarmed up?" Gao Yue was very angry, and then he asked Li Xian to go and asked the light and heavy guns in the fort to stop firing, because they had been firing in turn for most of the day, and they had to guard against the explosion of the barrels, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable; In addition, Gao Yue asked Zhou Ziping to tell Guo Zaizhen, Zhang Xi and Su Pu, "This group of mediocre people are from Xifan to consume your guns and divine thunder medicine, and then their elite infantry will take advantage of the opportunity." From now on, the firecrackers should not be used to burn the firewood and straw bundles in the trenches with hand fire mines, and to deal with the mediocre people, as long as they dare to climb up and cut or beat them down with weapons. ”

When Zhou Ziping was just about to leave, Gao Yue remembered something and called out to him again, "Let the two Yu Hou immediately take the money and silk and the wine in the camp to reward the Zhenyuan army, Hui Barbarian and Xishan Qiang who are resting in the camp behind, and say that they are very brave in the daytime, and they will go to comfort them in person." ”

Soon, the Tang soldiers of Checheng who received Ji Gongxin's instructions were obviously much more sparse.

The night was already thick, and the armored foot soldiers of Xifan really held their staffs, and they straightened up one by one, and the snow on their armor and iron helmets fell in pieces, full of rustling sounds, and then the shouts and horns rushed straight up, shaking the heavens and the earth, and the well-fed Xifan foot soldiers began to launch a strong attack on Checheng.

Hundreds of people who were still alive, driven by horsewhips or violently pushed by spear shafts, and cried loudly, stepped over the filled trenches one after another, and began to climb the deer and the carriage boards.

At this time, the Tang Army's combat force configuration underwent flexible changes

Each musketeer was accompanied by an armored infantryman armed with a flail, an iron sword, or a crutch gun, which was convenient for short-range parry.

Some of the people who climbed up densely were scratched and stabbed by antler stakes, and some finally climbed up, but they were waved by the flail and broke their skulls, and fell down one after another, or were stabbed by abductors and guns, and were slashed by Su Tie knives, and they also died in Huangquan, and the corpses accumulated more and more in front of the car.

At this time, the Xifan foot soldiers with iron armor covering their faces and bodies, under the cover of their own arrow rain, also swarmed in.

The car city of the Tang army imitated the method of defending the city of the party in the past, hanging a large iron sheet with an iron cable, and on it was covered with wooden strips and fish oil, burning like day in the wind and snow, from the condescending level, it was seen at a glance, but from the bottom to the top, the sight was blocked by the large iron sheet, and it was as dark as night.

After receiving the order, they picked up the pre-loaded firecrackers, and under the guidance of the firelight, they shot out a rain of bullets again, unambiguously.

The bullets whistled and flew, and the infantry in front of Xifan Chong did not have time to take precautions, the armor was pierced, and the projectiles rolled wantonly in the flesh and blood, tearing out terrible wounds, and then in the smoke, they fell one by one with a mournful cry, and looked up, and the sky was so black that there were only bits of white snow swirling and falling.

The other Xifan foot soldiers who reacted began to bend their waists, covering their heads and bodies with round copper shields, and attacked Checheng one by one.

The Tang soldiers set off the fire guns in unison, and the Xifan infantry made a loud noise, and suddenly changed from the original dense formation to a charging formation, sacrificing their lives and death to hold their weapons and fight bravely.
