Chapter 62 I Want the Western Regions to Tremble and Obey (2nd Update)

The soldiers of the Tang Army pounced on it with all their courage and put up a stubborn resistance, but their equipment and training were too far from those of the dead soldiers.

The armor of the dead soldier weighs more than fifty catties, even the Modao Army under Chen Ying will be almost inferior to it, and the equipment of ordinary Tang Army soldiers can only be sent to death. The only way to deal with an army like the Rest of the Dead was to use a thick mace or blunt weapons such as axes and hammers, but Li Daozong did not have such equipment.

In order to defend the city gate, the soldiers of the Liangzhou garrison can only resist with flesh and blood.

The rest of the dead soldiers continued to advance, and the Tang army was stabbed down by them one by one, if it weren't for the Saimen knife car, I am afraid that more rest of the dead soldiers would have already swarmed along the gap.

However, these rest dead soldiers, because they were not afraid of the blades on the Semen knife cart, they wielded short spears and stabbed the Saimen knife cart into a sieve.

The situation in Liangzhou City is very dangerous, it can be said that it is very bad. However, it did not make all the officers and men of the Tang Army despair. Fortunately, in addition to the west gate of Liangzhou, the defense system of the east gate, the south gate, the north gate and other city gates remained intact, as long as they calmed down, it would be difficult for the Western Turks to gnaw these defense lines in a short time.

The key is in the West Gate, because the West Gate is opened, the Western Turkic soldiers are flocking in, if the West Gate cannot be recaptured, the Tang army will be defeated.

Li Daozong is very aware of this, and Tong Ye Hu is also very clear about this, but the rest of the dead soldiers under Tong Ye Hu are a group of war slaves, they are all captives of the Sassanid Dynasty, and they are mortal. After becoming a captive of the Western Turks, he became a war slave, and as long as he did not die in a battle, he could regain his freedom.

Therefore, these dead soldiers were extremely fierce, and the Tang soldiers couldn't resist it at all, and they were killed and retreated.

After the last Saimen knife carriage in the city gate cave was destroyed by the Rest of the Dead, the Tang soldiers who lost the defense of the Saimen knife carriage were killed and retreated.

Seeing the city gate open, a general of the dead soldier laughed: "The Tang people are still so vulnerable......

"Whew......"

At this critical moment, a sharp whistle suddenly sounded, causing severe pain in people's eardrums, and a thick crossbow arrow broke through the air, and the speed was extremely fast. The Rest of the Dead soldier's wild laughter came to an abrupt end, and the thick crossbow arrow struck him in the chest with unmistakable accuracy, piercing the hard armor and opening a triangular wound the size of a bull'seye in his chest, a huge wound that spurted out large strands of blood.

It is said that armor weighing more than 50 catties like the rest of the dead soldier can completely ignore the shooting of the bow and crossbow, even if it is with a three-stone strong bow and an armor-piercing cone, it is difficult to cause fatal injuries to this heavy armor.

However, there is one weapon that is the exception, and that is the bed crossbow. The bed crossbow is inconvenient to move, but it is very powerful. The rammed city wall can be inserted more than a foot, not to mention the armor? Even the siege shield cart can shoot apart as long as it is hit by the bed crossbow, let alone this kind of single armor?

At this moment, this kind of screaming sounded from time to time, and I saw that thirty paces away, I don't know when there were more than a dozen bed crossbows, more than a dozen bed crossbows, and three six-foot-long giant crossbow arrows in a group, shooting towards the city gate from time to time.

The crossbow arrows of these bed crossbows hit the resting dead soldiers in the city gate cave one by one, and one of the resting dead soldiers was hit by the giant crossbow, flew backwards more than two steps, and hit the other two resting dead soldiers, which ran out of kinetic energy.

At the critical moment, Li Daozong moved out the thirty-six bed crossbows in Liangzhou City, and used more than a dozen bed crossbows to finally delay the offensive of the dead soldiers.

In fact, Li Daozong's original bed crossbow was as many as fifty-four, but before he could use it, he was burned by the Greek fire and eighteen were destroyed, which made Li Daozong's heart tremble. He was too frightened to put this precious weapon on the city wall, and at a critical moment it was used to attack the heavily armed and resting dead soldiers, and the effect was not bad.

However, although this attack was repelled by the bed crossbow, but after all, Tongye Hu Khan saw the dawn of victory, he took advantage of the numerical advantage, and at the same time launched an attack at the four gates of Liangzhou City, first burned the city gate with fire, used Greek fire to burn the city gate wrapped in iron sheets, and then dug the soil into the city gate hole, and directly dug out the soil blocked by Li Daozhen in the city gate hole.

Li Daozong was also at a loss at this time.

As soon as he sent troops to climb the city wall and block the approach of the Western Turkic army on the city wall, his men under his command used bows and arrows to suppress the city of Liangzhou, and once the Byzantine slaves under the command of Tongye Hu Khan approached the city wall, they used Greek fire to lead the city wall of Liangzhou into a sea of fire.

Fortunately, the space of the city gate is limited, and the two sides can only invest dozens or hundreds of people at a time, and Li Daozong still has the strength to hold on, but the four gates of Liangzhou City are like four huge wounds, and the blood of Liangzhou City will dry up sooner or later.

After reading the secret letter written to him by Li Daozong, Chen Ying was immediately silent. He thought that the Western Turks would put great pressure on Liangzhou City, but he didn't expect that the three axes of the Tongye Hu Khan would be completely unparried, as a person of later generations, Chen Ying even if he didn't understand military affairs, but he also knew that it was actually very simple to crack the crisis in Liangzhou City and delay the time for the Western Turks to break the city.

Because the Western Turks only attacked the Chengmen Cave, there was no need to fight with the Western Turks in the Chengmen Cave, but only needed to put a fire in the Chengmen Cave to ensure that not a single Turk could rush into Liangzhou City before the fire was extinguished.

However, it is too late now. First of all, it was about 600 miles from Mingsha County to Liangzhou, and if the messenger was allowed to go to Liangzhou alone, it would be about the same time as Chen Ying's entire army arrived in Liangzhou.

Because Chen Ying's whole army did not have baggage at all, all the baggage was in the rear, and each one only had half a month's dry food, mainly fried noodles and a mixture of dried meat, salt, and dried fruits, and two catties of dry food per person a day.

Chen Ying immediately summoned Luo Shixin, Zhang Huaiwei, Su Dingfang, Ashina Simo and all the generals at the rank of lieutenant.

After Luo Shixin, Zhang Huaiwei and other generals arrived, Chen Ying asked with a face: "Do you know what General Ben asked you to do?" ”

Luo Shixin looked straight at Chen Ying's gaze and said, "Go kill someone!" ”

Chen Ying laughed when he heard this: "Guess right, one day and one night, you are fully armed, how far can you march with dry food?" ”

Luo Shixin said: "No less than two hundred miles! ”

The generals were all excited, looking at each other, and their eyes exchanged eagerly. Chen Ying planned to use them to forcibly march, did he want them to run from a distance and capture the thief and capture the king first?

"No less than two hundred miles, the speed is too slow!" Chen Yingdao: "Do you still remember, the last time General Ben was assassinated by Li Daozong, General Ben arrived in Yuanzhou from Lingzhou, how far did he run in one day and one night?" ”

Chen Ying's handling method is actually very simple. That's a horse.

The speed at which the Mongol army advanced in the battle army is also appalling now, "the average daily march speed of the expedition to the west reached 90 to 95 kilometers. The assault on Northern Russia took only two months and five days, with an average speed of 85 to 90 kilometers per day; The capture of South Russia took only two months and ten days, and the speed of the attack reached 55 to 60 kilometers per day; The capture of Hungary and Poland took only three months, and the speed of the attack reached fifty-eight to sixty-two kilometers per day. (History of Ancient Mongolian Wars, p. 240)

Of course, the speed of the Mongol army, including the time they spent in battle, that is, their fact that they marched faster, was just a lot of time wasted because of the battle. Even in the book, there is a record of the Mongol army marching 500 miles in one night.

Chen Ying knew that the real secret of the rapid march of the Mongol army was not to run forward, but to walk on horseback.

Walking horses, the consumption of horsepower is not large, but the torture of people is very serious, Chen Ying still remembers the last time he marched six hundred miles, and his crotch was bloody.

However, in order to rush for time and arrive in Liangzhou before the Western Turks captured Liangzhou, Chen Ying couldn't take care of it.

Chen Ying took a breath and shook his head slightly. He is now more and more proficient in the art of leadership, and he is thrilling all the way, and if he doesn't have this ability, it will be a waste. After drying a cup of tea for the most elite generals of the two armies, now is the time when they are most enthusiastic about fighting!

"It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time tomorrow, I want your Xiao Cavalry Army's six Zhichong Mansions and the Modao Army's three Zhichong Mansions to arrive outside Liangzhou City!"

Luo Shixin's expression became serious when he heard this: "Please give an order from the general!" ”

Chen Ying groaned, but did not give an order. In his memory, the Eastern Turks did not attack the Tang Dynasty in the third year of Wude, but there was a war in the fourth year of Wude, but this war was a one-man show sung by Li Shimin, and Li Shimin would win another big victory at that time.

Now, Chen Ying, an otherworldly butterfly, has fanned its wings, and history has been changed beyond recognition. This time should be just right, as long as he arrives in Liangzhou City on the eve of Tongye Hu's attack on Liangzhou, as long as he defeats the enemy, Chen Ying will be the great hero of the Tang Dynasty to help the crisis and overcome difficulties, and his position will be unshakable.

Everything is dancing on the tip of the knife, and no one knows if he is right, and no one knows if there will be any variables. But in the face of a dead end that is entangled in one place. He can only break the law like this!

Once decided, there is no turning back.

Chen Ying, Luo Shixin, and Zhang Huaiwei's eyes collided for a while: "Let's go!" ”

Luo Shixin and other generals clasped their fists and said: "The last general will take the order!" ”

"Remember! Twelve hours, six hundred miles away" Chen Ying exuded a strong sense of confidence and strong domineering, and said loudly: "This general wants Liangzhou to be safe and sound, and this general wants to make the land of thousands of miles in the Western Regions, all countries and tribes, tremble and obey under the hooves of this university!" ”
