Chapter 33: The finale weapon, the stone thrower
Fifty miles away from Dingxiang County, 80,000 elite Tang Dynasty soldiers marched in a hurry, a long fire dragon lit up the plain grassland, and there were several prisoner cars with the army.
Two Tang Dynasty generals rode horses and galloped away, these two generals were the famous Li Jing and Wei Chi Jingde of the Tang Dynasty, the two converged to suppress the Turkic Jieli Khan's lair, captured the Jieli Khan's family and marched overnight, supported Cheng Biting Jin's Dingxiang, and besieged the Jieli Khan's army to attack Dingxiang in one fell swoop.
Wei Chi Jingde, who was marching in a hurry, said with a worried face: "Brother Yao, do you say that the old evil can hold Dingxiang?" ”
Li Jing stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "Brother Jingde, although the old villain is impulsive, he still knows how to measure himself when he fights, if I arrive in time, there should be no problem." ”
Although Li Jing believes that Cheng Biting Jin is a person, he doesn't dare to trust him too much, he must be Cheng Biting Metal is easy to impulsive type, defending the city is really not his specialty, charging into battle is his forte, Li Jing is not afraid of anything, just afraid that Cheng Biting Jin will go out of the city to face the battle.
Wei Chi Jingde nodded and didn't speak, Li Jing's analysis is very reasonable, Cheng Biting Jin is such a temper, if there is no staff around to plot, it is really impossible to say that something will happen, and he can only march quickly to speed up to support, lest Cheng Biting Jin make a mistake and lose Dingxiang.
Two fast horses came quickly, Yu Chi Jingde saw his own children and Li De Award heroic figure, nodded and smiled slightly, as the saying goes, tiger fathers have no dogs, Yu Chi Bao bed almost inherited all the advantages of Yu Chi Jingde, mature and steady, that is, it needs more tempering to become a big tool.
Li Dexuan grabbed the reins of the horse, and hugged his fist at the stopped coach Li Jing to ask for battle: "Daddy, the child heard the horn of the Turkic attack, please allow the child to lead 10,000 cavalry as a vanguard to support." ”
Li Jing reprimanded Li Decheng with a straight face: "Fooling around, how can there be a reason to lead troops offside." ”
Wei Chi Bao's bed clenched his fists and stood up for the military order: "The subordinates assisted Li Zhonghou, and they did not live up to their mission and involved the Turkic army, and if they were willing to bear the responsibility, they would be held responsible." ”
Li Jing looked at Yu Chi Jingde, and Yu Chi Jingde, who was laughing calmly, stroked his beard and said, "Brother Yao, young man, you need to hone more." ”
Wei Chi Bao bed Shi Yong took the lead in setting up a military order, Wei Chi Jingde not only did not get angry, but was very pleased with Wei Chi Bao bed's example, in a word, young people need to hone more, to move Li Jing's heart, yes, their older generation has not been able to withstand it for long, it's time to hone and hone these young people more.
Li Jing sighed lightly and nodded: "Well, wait for 10,000 iron horses, quickly support Dingxiang, remember, only containment, not fighting." ”
"Yes!"
Li Dexuan and Wei Chi Baobed responded happily, and ordered Le Ma to turn around and order troops to fight the forward, support the tight situation on Dingxiang's side, and lead 10,000 elite iron horsemen to break away from the army in a moment.
Looking at the backs of Li Decheng and Wei Chi Bao's bed leading the soldiers to disappear, Li Jing felt a little regretful in his heart, they were all young people with little combat experience, and they were really a little complicated about gains and losses when they were allowed to go out to lead the troops to fight all of a sudden.
On this side of the Dingxiang City Gate, the two war harvesters giant beast stone throwers were finally built, and the war weapons spanning two or three dynasties were destined to be the nightmare shadows of the Turkic army outside the city. But is such a behemoth a vase?
Ten ox carts appeared with a huge boulder one zhang wide, each ox cart used three oxen to pull, and the wheel hub pressed the street out of deep traces, attracting a large number of resting government soldiers to come and watch, when the ox cart stopped in front of the war monster stone thrower, the government soldiers who rushed to the wind were shocked.
"What is this?"
"I don't know, it looks like it's very powerful!"
"Isn't this nonsense? From the hands of Yin's staff, is it a mortal thing? ”
The onlookers whispered, unable to guess what the war beast was for, when a government soldier highly publicized Yin Wei extraordinary, causing other government soldiers to recognize and echo the voice, the battle of the city tower and Yin Li won more deeds with less, and gradually spread in the army.
Li Tai, who was late to hear the wind, heard the discussion of the soldiers of the palace, the admiring tone and admiring expression, which made Li Tai very uncomfortable, the greater the prestige, the more it was not a good thing, the more jealous and resentful Li Tai became, a crazy idea popped up in his mind, and his resentful eyes looked at Yin Li, who was inspecting the stone thrower.
Check the vigor of the stone throwing machine with injuries, carefully check all the parts of the stone throwing machine several times to ensure that there is no problem and can be used normally, this is a boast that Haikou sold 10 yuan of technical weapons, if it is out of the basket or something, it is strange that Cheng bites the gold and splits himself alive, and it is not sloppy.
Woowoo......
Outside the city, there was a deep trumpet sound of the Turks, a steel torrent like a clanging sound, from far to near, the city tower knocked on the drums, the onlookers quickly ran towards the direction of the city tower, ran to the city wall to pick up the horn bow and a basket of quivers, and went straight to the city tower to defend against the Turks to attack the city.
Cheng Yanjin brushed away the government soldiers who were in the way, walked behind Yin Li and couldn't wait to ask, "Staff Yin, can you use this thing?" ”
Yin Li said to Wang Mao: "Team Wang, do you already know the operation method?" ”
Wang Mao clasped his hands into fists and replied excitedly: "Remember, don't worry, staff Yin!" ”
Yin Li, who didn't have anything to explain, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll leave it to you here, General Cheng, and go upstairs to watch the battle!" ”
Cheng Yanjin said suspiciously: "Okay! ”
Yin Li walked to the city tower with the support of two government soldiers, Cheng Yanjin originally wanted Yin Li not to go to the city tower, but the stone throwing machine to defend the city was built by Yin Li himself, if he did not command it personally, Cheng Yanjin would not move, so he could only grieve Yin Li and go to the city tower with an injury to command the stone throwing machine.
Stepping on the city tower again, this time it is not like the first ignorant and excited mentality, but becomes more calm, all say that war can change a person, as long as the war has been experienced, people's mentality will change.
Jieli Khan couldn't sit still, analyzed the general strength of the Dingxiang defenders, revitalized the soldiers and horses and made a final decision to fight quickly, and the black and suppressed Turkic army attacked with the whole army, which was bound to take Dingxiang and avenge the death of 10,000 dead souls and the unjust death of his godson.
When the overwhelming Turkic army broke through the distance of 400 paces, Jieli Khan drew his saber and shouted to kill, the 90,000 Turkic army tore their throats and shouted to charge, the cavalry changed their bows and arrows, and attacked the city tower in a roundabout way, and the siege soldiers pushed the chariots, ladders and siege towers.
The palms of the soldiers of the city tower were full of sweat, and there was no order from the main general Cheng Yanjin, so they could only clench the bow in their hands and quietly wait for Cheng Yanjin's order, while Cheng Yanjin looked at Yin Li, waiting for Yin Li to command the sharp weapon to defend the city.
Yin Li nodded at the herald beside him and said, "Pass it down, you can start!" ”
Hearing this, the herald shouted: "Reload!!" ”
Cheng Yanjin looked at the two war beasts in the city, Li Tai and Cheng Chumo looked over one after another, and they gasped together, stunned to see the war beasts show their might.
