Chapter 365: Battle of Talas (continued)
The siege speed of the Xia army was very slow, but every attack was powerful, and on the other side, the Qarluq department was extremely brave, except for the ten catapults that Li Liangzuo gave it support, the rest was only some simple siege ladders, but with these rudimentary weapons, the Qarluq people attacked the head of the city of Talas again and again, and the performance of the Qarluq people Li Liangzuo saw it all.
Li Liangzuo ordered: "Xiao Zhuozi sent an order, ordering the baggage battalion to carry heavy siege weapons to support the Qarluq ......"
"Yes, the minion will send someone to do it."
After Xiao Zhuozi returned, he asked Li Liangzuo in confusion: "Your Majesty, why do you want to give such great support to the Qarluqs?" ”
"If you don't pay attention to it, you can't do it! The Qarluq tribe is the backbone of this attack on Talas City, and I must not weaken the strength of the Qarluq tribe through this battle, but also not let it weaken too much, after this battle, our Xia army will either dominate the Western Regions, or ...... It is impossible for my Great Xia Kingdom to swallow such a large territory in the Western Regions, so we need an ally here, and the Qarlu Department is the best choice. ”
"But Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Qin is very close to the root of the Qarluq Ministry, if His Majesty relies too much on the Qarluq Ministry, it will inevitably increase the power of His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and now His Royal Highness the King of Qin has become a monstrous voice in the court, and the queen has been cultivating power for His Royal Highness the King of Qin every year, and the slaves are afraid of ......"
"Daring, are these things you can do indiscriminately?"
"The slave knows his mistake, and the slave knows that His Majesty and the Queen Mother and His Royal Highness the King of Qin have a deep relationship like the sea, but Your Majesty has no family affection since ancient times, so the slave asks Your Majesty to ......be cautious," Xiao Zhuozi knelt on the ground and said.
"I know your loyalty to me, don't worry! I know ...... in my heart."
For three days in a row, the Xia army and the Qarluq army launched more than ten large-scale group attacks on the city of Talas, although the Xia army advanced slowly, but the attack was powerful, the attack of the Xia army and the Qarluq army caused heavy losses to the Turgish people defending the city, especially the long-range attack weapons of the Xia army, which made the Turgish people unable to defend against it.
The Turgish people used to be a tribal society, when did they ever live in the city! In the past, the battles were also field battles, but now they have been replaced by city defense battles, and the Turgish people basically don't know how to fight, field battles, siege wars, and city defense wars, these are basically three concepts, due to the unfavorable command of the defense of the city, the losses of the Turgish army are even greater than the Xia army and the Qarluq people who are besieging the city, which is simply a miracle in the world.
In the camp of the summer army, Li Liangzuo gathered all the officers together again, "Our army has been storming the city of Talas for three days, and the defenders in the city have suffered a lot of losses, and our army has also suffered huge losses, so it is not okay to go on like this!" Therefore, I have decided to raid the city of Talas today, and it will be during the day, and I will personally lead the army to storm from the south gate, and I hope that the Qarluq department will cooperate with this attack. ”
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely have the right to cooperate." Yao Rivas said.
In the next Li Liangzuo assigned tasks to everyone, but most of the tasks were assigned to the generals of the Xia army, and basically did not give any tasks to Yao Livas and Timur, which was not a good thing for Timur, and after the meeting, Temur found Yao Livas.
"Father Khan, Your Majesty did not hand over the task of the main attack to us, what should we do?"
"The legs and hands are on us, whether it is the main attack or not, we have the final say, and the whole army is pressed tomorrow, and the battle will be decided; In addition, the raid mission is entrusted to you, and whether you can take Talas City or not depends on tomorrow's battle. ”
In the city of Talas, the Turgish Khan Pontele was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and in just three days, the Turgish people lost tens of thousands of troops, most of whom were stoned, fireballs, and rockets thrown in by the Xia army, and they were stoned or burned to death, and they had no experience in defending the city.
"Newspaper, newspaper, newspaper...... Your Majesty, the big thing is not good, the Qarlu Department has launched a fierce attack again, and this time the attack is even more fierce than the original, and our garrison troops can no longer hold on. A spy came to report.
"How's the situation on Xia Jun's side?"
"Although the Xia army has also strengthened the offensive, it is not a problem for our army to hold the city wall."
"Okay, pass on the whole army, all reinforcements to the side of the Qarlu storm, and hold the city wall at all costs, as long as we can bring heavy losses to the Xia army, the Xia army will not be able to hold it in the end, and then we will be able to take the opportunity to talk about it, can we?"
"The ministers understand, please rest assured, we will defend the city to the death."
"This time Ben Khan will personally lead his army to ......"
The siege was carried out very fiercely, the Xia army and the Qarluq army launched a fierce attack on the city of Talas from the north and south directions, and the Qarluq army was completely in a desperate posture, Pontel had to lead the remaining army to the north gate to support, Pontar did not know that his move happened to fall into the trap of the Qarluq department, and all of this was under Li Liangzuo's control, including the attack of the Qarlu army, all of which was in Li Liangzuo's plan.
Timur led an elite squad of more than 300 people, quietly came to the west city wall, since the beginning of the attack, the Xia army and the Qarlu army attacked from the north and south, and attacked from the east and west, so the Qarluq cavalry had few defenders in this direction, and now it has become the place where the Qarluq army broke through.
Temur led his troops to the city and was soon discovered, and the Trolls defending the city used bows and arrows to carry out long-range attacks, which brought great damage to the Timur troops, and if this situation continues, this elite small army may be wiped out by the rain of arrows before it can get close to the city wall.
"Quick, everyone disperse, whoever enters the city first, will be ...... 10,000 people"
As the saying goes, there must be brave men under such a heavy reward, this small army continued to assault the city wall, at such a critical moment, the arrow feathers of the Turgish people were used up, and Temur immediately seized this favorable opportunity to lead his troops to use ropes and city corners to climb the city wall with bare hands, and the last of the more than 300 people to climb the city wall alive is more than 100 people, but each of these people can be one enemy hundred, at home and now at this time, the morale of the Turgish people is very low, Once Temur had climbed the walls, it became easy to capture the gates, which had already been prepared for more than 10,000 Qarluqs to rush into the city from a distance.
The opening of the gates meant that the city of Talas was about to be breached, just when the Qarluq tribe was the first to break through the city of Talas; Qin King Li Wu led less than 15,000 Xia soldiers finally broke into the hinterland of the Seljuk Empire, after crossing countless mountains and rivers desert, Li Wu found an oasis in the desert as his temporary residence, this oasis is located hundreds of miles south of the city of Sama, and across the desert Xia cavalry can easily reach the supply line of the Serbian army, Li Wu occupies a key strategic point, and more importantly, has not been discovered by the Serbian army.
