Chapter 433: Urgent

After more than half a year of hard work, the coal mine has become large-scale, and the results of tens of thousands of people's sweat accumulation are manifested in piles of small coal mountains at the foot of the coal mine. The excavation speed of the 'Lu'tian Coal Mine was very fast, and Ningyuan City and Xijian City could not absorb the hard work of tens of thousands of strong slaves, so that the coal yard gradually extended to the south and expanded to the east and west ends.

Although the road leading to the halfway up the mountain is narrow and winding, there are still some of them, but they are all paved with a layer of scattered coal, and the thickness of the coal seam on the road is just enough to submerge the ankles, seriously slowing down the speed of the horses.

Seeing that the coal yard was close at hand, and when the great work was about to be completed, the coal on the ground slowed him down, and he had to watch as hundreds of enemy troops calmly drove those strong slaves to the mountain, and stood safely halfway up the mountain before the iron cavalry he led arrived.

"Damn coal!" Bone Sip cursed viciously. The word "coal" was still carefully told to him by Binar, and brought him a real sample, the first time he used it, its magical effect caused him to marvel, the same black 'color', the same can burn, but this coal from Ningyuan is far more powerful than the cow dung he knows, the heat is strong, there is no smell, it is indeed an ideal choice for heating in winter. He couldn't help but be jealous of the heavens' favor for Li Huaitang, who always allowed him to discover treasures, and heard that he had also found a very productive copper-gold mine in the Alai Mountain.

Gu Si did not stop or even directly ignored the pre-war preparations, and couldn't wait to launch an offensive. His vanguard army has 5,000 people, and he has lost more than 500 in the first battle, and more than 4,000 people, and the most defenders on the mountain are no more than 500 in his sight.

Shang Qi was quite remorseful, he was blocked on the coal mountain.

"How could I be so unlucky, damn Turgish!" Since the coal mine was on the right track, he did not visit the coal mountain for several days, and it was rare for him to come once, but he met the fierce Turgish.

In a panic, Shang Qi saw the Tuqi Shi people surging all over the mountains, and looking down from above, he could find that the offensive of the Tuqi Shi people was like four 'waves' and 'waves' slowly patting. Obviously, the Turgish wanted to finish their work in one battle and take the coal mountain in one go.

"Why did you put me on again?" Shang Ren cried with a sad face and handed Shang Qi a protective Tang knife. The experience in the territory of the Turgish people the year before last is still vivid, remembering those terrible past, his 'legs' are trembling, and his 'urine' is frequent.

Shang Qi took the Tang knife and stood behind a mound. In the midst of the fear, he had a strange premonition, what made him have a whimsical idea was Li Zhongxin, as Li Huaitang's right-hand man, he appeared here without accompanying the army to the west, can't he explain something? Also, in his memory, the slopes of the coal mountain were full of weeds last time, but now the weeds are gone, replaced by a large number of broken stones, and it is uncomfortable for the Turgish to step on the angular stones, and most of the Turgish are barefoot.

The hillside is long and gentle enough for attacking, but the Turgish have to slow down from time to time to be aware of the rocks under their feet. Bone Si was in a hurry, and ordered the trumpeter to urge the soldiers to speed up the attack.

When the Turgish entered the 'firing' range of the longbow, Li Zhongxin ordered the arrow to be released. The two hundred feathered arrows were condescending, and they accurately fell within the pre-measured range of the 'shooting' distance, and the densely formed Turks suffered a big loss, and dozens of people fell to the ground with arrows.

The five hundred defenders commanded by Li Zhongxin were divided into three columns and fired feathered arrows in turn. They occupy an advantageous position, and the longbow's 'range' is much higher as a result, and its power is also much higher.

The casualties caused by the rain of arrows could not make Gu Si frown, and he believed that as long as he could capture tens of thousands of strong slaves on the mountain, it would be worth it even if thousands of soldiers were killed or wounded.

"Blow the trumpet! Speed up your attacks again! "The defenders' counterattack seemed to Gu Si to be a dying throes, and he was 'excited' and excited.

Two 'legs' were no match for four 'legs', and the Turgish soldiers who rushed to the forefront were baptized with five rounds of feathered arrows, and suffered heavy casualties. The longbow consumed arm strength and fired five rounds of feather arrows, and the soldiers of the tiger cavalry hurriedly threw down their bows and arrows and replaced them with spears to meet the enemy. A fierce 'hand-to-hand' fight broke out.

The swords pierced the flesh and blood, and the inhuman screams and deaths were bloody, brutal and ruthless. Rows of spears pierced out, and fresh lives disappeared; One by one, the scimitars of the counterattack were flew, and blood flowed one after another.

The 500 defenders were a little thin compared to the open front, and many of the Turks went around behind the defenders, forcing the defenders to suffer from the enemy. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Tiger Cavalry were well-equipped and well-trained, and although the pressure on the defensive line increased, it was not something that the Turchaers could easily shake.

The two sides were deadlocked, fighting, and shouting. The rare situation attracted Shang Qi, but it made him 'exposed' to the sight of the Turgish soldiers.

When the two Turk soldiers saw a soft persimmon, they pounced on it. Shang Qi is a combatant, but not a desperate Saburo, there is a world of difference between the usual fight and the life and death on the battlefield, under the threat of the bright scimitar, Shang Qi only has the right to turn around and run away, although he knows martial arts.

Shang Qi's luck was really bad, he ran a few steps and stepped on a piece of coal gangue, and the whole person stumbled and fell.

"Hey, hey!" The Tuqi Shi people couldn't help but smile hideously and 'pressed' closer, soft persimmons are always a good bully.

Shang Qi's mouth was full of soot, but he didn't care, he looked for the Tang knife that flew in a panic, and the two deadly scimitars behind him were already held high, and if there was no weapon, he could only bear the cutting of the scimitar with his body. Maybe despair can 'excite' survival**, Shang Qi grabbed two handfuls of slime in a hurry, and turned around sharply to raise ashes.

The two Turks were unexpected, their eyes 'mixed' into the dust, so they had to retreat and wave their swords again and again.

"Shang Ren, you coward, come and save me!" Shang Qi got up with his hands and feet in embarrassment, and roared at the figure curled up in a coal pit.

Shang Ren was very aggrieved, he persuaded Shang Qi to hide and not move, but Shang Qi wanted to take the risk of being a hero to watch the battle, but he was in danger and complained that he would not save him, you know, he does not know martial arts. Shang Ren secretly watched twice, and decided to continue to play dead, because the scimitar recognized by the Turgi was more threatening than his master's angry scolding.

The two Turks who had the 'yin' trick were furious, 'rubbing' and 'rubbing' their eyes and continued to chase and kill Shang Qi. Shang Qi hurriedly took refuge around the coal pit, and practiced Ling 'Bo' micro-steps with the Tuqi Shi people.

The Turgish were very depressed, although the target was vulnerable, but due to the restrictions of more than a dozen coal pits under their feet, they had no way to deal with each other for a while.

"Why don't you kill him, he hides that and doesn't move!" Shang Qi shouted unwillingly as he ran and pointed to Shang Ren who was loading ostriches in a pit under his feet.

Shang Ren was very frightened at first, it was too easy for the Turgish people to hack him to death, there was no way to dodge in the pit, and he was finished with a light knife. Strangely, the Turgish ignored him, either with disdain, or only interested in moving objects, but in short, he was miraculously intact.

"Oops!" Shang Qi is not ordinary unlucky, he fell again!

The two Turgishes screamed as if to say, "You are dead."

"It's over!" Looking at the two turquoise people who were outflanked left and right, Shang Qi wanted to cry, this would not save him, and the scimitar that flashed with cold light was about to fall......

The scimitar fell, and so did the Turgish. A miracle happened! The scimitar slashed at the body of the Turgish, and somehow, the Turgish suddenly fell on Shang Qi's body, blocking the fatal stab for him.

Not dead? Shang Qi opened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him incredulously.

"Run!" Shang Ren shook the two handfuls of soot in his hand at the other Turgish soldier, and reminded his master, who was still stunned. Just now, he was like a god, and when he saw his master in distress, he borrowed the courage from somewhere, and easily overturned a turquoise priest who happened to pass by the edge of his head, saving Shang Qi's life.

Because of the accidental killing of his companion, the Turgish soldier hesitated, and as a result, he was hit again, and his eyes fell into countless coal dust, and he became blind.

"you!" Shang Qi pretended to be brave enough to push the panicked and sword-wielding Thirshi soldiers into the coal pit.

"Bury him! Dare to provoke General Ben! "Coming back from the dead, Shang Qi vented in a 'chaotic' manner, and even learned Li Huaitang's posture to angrily reprimand the Tuqi Shi people in the pit.

The poor Turgish soldiers first killed their own people by mistake, and then were buried alive in the pit by the Shangqi's master and servant. There were many bucket carts carrying coal on the coal mountain, and the master and servant pushed several carts to get rid of the hapless Turgish soldier.

At this time, the battlefield also calmed down, and the Turks came like a 'tide' and went like a 'tide'.

With the advantage of blades, armor, and formation, the Tiger Warriors repelled the first attack of the Turgish. There were more than 500 corpses of the Turquoise Cavalry lying on the battlefield, and the Tiger Cavalry also injured more than 100 people.

The tenacity of the defenders pricked the nerves of the slur. The lesson of blood had taught him that sharpening his knife was not wrong for a woodcutter, and that the best weapon against bows and spears was a shield, and that the Turgish, who had come from afar, had only a small number of pony shields, so he ordered them to be cut down for shields.

Shang Qi wiped a handful of sweat and calmed down the various horrors in his heart a little. Today's encounter was too stinging and 'intense', from almost being killed to accidentally killing the pursuer, it was like sleepwalking, and he would not have been able to get out of it if it weren't for the screams of the wounded soldiers.

"General Li is amazing! In the snap of his fingers, he hit the sudden cavalry Shi people and fell into the 'flower' water. Shang Qi came to Li Zhongxin's side and patted his ass.

"Hehe, you're not bad!" Shang Qi's feat of burying the Tuqi Shi people alive happened to fall into Li Zhongxin's eyes.

Shang Qi and Li Zhongxin are old acquaintances, and the relationship between the two is very iron, so Shang Qi didn't talk too much nonsense, and asked him directly: "Tell me, did the general have already made arrangements?" ”

"What arrangement?" Li Zhongxin stared at Shang Qi and asked rhetorically.

Shang Qi glared and said, "You can't believe me?" Don't hide it, tell me quickly, did the general set a trap for the Turks here? ”

Li Zhongxin looked at Shang Qi for a while before saying, "I also hope it is!" ”

"Huh?!" Shang Qi was very disappointed, but he didn't give up, he had a bigger doubt, on the surface, all the defenders were concentrated here, but why didn't the tens of thousands of strong slaves in the back mountain move? This question is very important, in the hearts of those strong slaves, the Tuqi Shi people are their saviors, it is impossible to expect them to stay quiet and immobile, if there is no strong suppression, it is strange that they do not take the opportunity to rebel. Since those strong slaves are not making trouble, it means that someone is watching over them.

"Strong slave?" Li Zhongxin frowned and said with a smile: "They have all rushed into the cave of the kiln, my subordinates are watching, whoever dares to move will be burned to death!" ”

The answer obviously couldn't satisfy Shang Qi, but he couldn't think of where Li Huaitang still had surplus troops.

"The Turgish are planning to besiege us for a long time, and they are chopping wood and cooking!" The bored Shang Ren noticed the strangeness of the Tuqi Shishi people at the foot of the mountain, who kept dragging the trees back with their war horses, and a large group of people were busy around the trees.

Li Zhongxin glanced down the mountain and said with a wry smile: "It's not cooking, they're going to make a shield row." ”

"Huh?" Shang Qi was taken aback, he didn't understand military affairs but he also knew that the shield platoon was the nemesis of bows and arrows and spears.

"So, what then? It's over, it's over......"

"I said, General Li, the heroes don't suffer immediate losses, so it's better for us to withdraw." Shang Qi suggested in a panic.

"Well, retreat, where to retreat?" Li Zhongxin looked at Shang Qi seriously.

Seeing that Li Zhongxin seemed to agree with his idea, Shang Qi became energetic: "Withdraw to Ningyuan City." Give them the coal here, and they can take as much as they want, and wait for the general to take it back. ”

Shang Qi knew that once he waited for the Tuqi Shi people to complete the production of the big wooden shield, it would be useless to rely on the hundreds of people under Li Zhongxin's command, since there was nothing to do, it was better to run away, as long as he returned to Ningyuan City, these Tuqi Shi people would not be able to help him.

Li Zhong hatefully knocked on Shang Qi's skull and said, "Stupid! The Turkish people can have cow dung, what kind of coal do they want, they are interested in these tens of thousands of strong slaves, once they let them 'yin' succeed, Ningyuan City is in danger! ”

Shang Qi 'wanted' another suggestion, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't kill those slaves, otherwise the Turgish who lost their target would kill him.

Li Zhongxin no longer paid attention to Shang Qi, turned around and ordered the soldiers: "Withdraw!" All retreat to the back mountain! ”

Back mountain, with a second line of defense......

When Sulu Khan led his army to the coal mines, he did not hear the good news, and Gusi's second attack still ended in failure, and he lost more than 500 troops again.

In the face of the furious Sulu Khan, Gu Si wanted to say: It's not that I'm incompetent, but I blame the enemy for being too foxy.

Defeating the bone slurp is a pile of boulders. After crossing the first coal hill, he realized that the defenders had shifted strategically, the second hill was steeper, and the defenders seemed to be prepared to build a stone wall halfway up the mountain. At that time, Gu Si was already anxious to think so much, and the wooden shield was ready, how could there be any reason to give up halfway?

The second attack of the Turgish was met by countless stones thrown from above, and the shameless defenders did not give them a chance, and directly kicked down the stone wall with one kick, and the tumbling stones smashed the Turgish who climbed halfway up the hill to the point of crying wolf.

At this point, Gu Si felt that something was wrong, and several stone walls were obviously prepared in advance, and in a faint uneasiness, he thought of the trap, just like before...... Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "War Owl in Tang" written by the wolf under the moon
