Chapter 143: Burning an army of 180,000
There are suspicions everywhere and before they attack Yanmen Pass again, their own people are about to fight with their own people.
Unease, fear, and suspicion haunted the hearts of all Turkic peoples.
"Let's enter the Yanmen Pass and let them taste the plague." Someone said loudly, since it's all a death, it's better to fight.
This Central Plains man stood up angrily, looking at the chaos in front of him, Datang's reaction was very fast, relying on the remaining soldiers and horses even if he attacked again, he might not be able to enter the Yanmen Pass with new firearms, he took the clothes on the side and left here without the attention of the leaders of the various tribes.
Gu Qing dissolved the original Turkic Alliance with a plague move, and the plague that killed him was very terrible, and when he came up with this method, Gu Qing was also furious in his heart, would this virulent virus come to his side.
The war horses on the Turkic side neighed again, and the number of people was nearly 200,000, a full 180,000, Su Dingfang shouted, "The whole army is on alert." ”
Gu Qing also shouted, "Bow and arrow incendiary bombs, prepare and release Kong Ming lanterns!" ”
"Put on the lights!" There was a shout from the army.
One after another Kong Ming lanterns rose with the wind, floating from the city to the Turkic side, as if thousands of Kong Ming lanterns were overwhelming, and at the same time, the remaining 180,000 Turks launched a final onslaught against Yanmen Pass.
Gu Qing looked at the menacing Turkic army's heart beating, the Turks noticed the fire above their heads, a Kong Ming lantern moved with the wind, pulled the bow and rose, some Turks fired arrows at the Kong Ming lantern, the moment the arrow came out of his hand, piercing the lampshade above, the entire brazier lost its support and fell down, igniting the line of fire of Molotov cocktails and explosives in the bamboo basket below.
Rumble!
With a loud bang, more than 10 kilograms of explosives were detonated in the sky and poured down with rain of fire and gasoline, and the head of the Yanmen Pass was already full of bows, and 30,000 soldiers were lined up in a row to shoot arrows high in the direction of the Turks.
The arrows with fire formed a curtain of arrows to cover the entire night sky, and roared out, shooting at the Kong Ming lantern and the Turks floating in mid-air, and for a time it rained fire above the Turks.
Rumble!
Rumble!
Rumble!
……
Thousands of Kong Ming lanterns with explosives exploded in mid-air, and the raging flames rained down like heavenly punishment.
When the Turks entered the minefield, the mines detonated, and the horses under the Turks were directly blown up and flesh and blood flew sideways, and in the face of hot weapons, human life was like mustard, and the cruelty of the cold weapons was several times higher.
"Molotov cocktails!" Cheng Chumo shouted.
One by one, terracotta jars with flames and firing wires tied to explosives were thrown at the rushing Turks!
"Throw it again!" Gu Qing shouted, "Don't let them cross the minefield, throw things out for me." ”
Hundreds, thousands of incendiary bombs were thrown down!
"Shoot the arrows!" Su Dingfang shouted in a hoarse voice!
Bear!
On the battlefield thousands of meters wide, the fire even the body of the Turkic people became fuel, black smoke billowed out, and the fire illuminated the entire Yanmen Pass, and Gu Qing, who was standing on the top of the city, could feel the scorching flames.
"Kill!" The Turkic man covered in fire roared and wanted to rush to the gate of Yanmen, but a sound sounded under his feet, boom! The ground exploded under his feet, his legs were bloody and fleshy, and he lay on the ground, gritting his teeth and shouting to the Turks rushing up behind him, "Don't come here!" There's something underground! ”
Who could hear this sentence in the chaos, and the Huns who rushed up one after another stepped on the mines with flames and detonated them.
Round after round of arrow rain roared down at the head of Yanmen Pass, and countless Turks fell under Yanmen Pass.
Cheng Yanjin, who was about to rush to Yanmen Pass, also saw that the night sky outside Yanmen Pass was red, and the blood was generally so hot that his heart rose uneasily.
"Rack!" The whip was waved, and the army quickly drove towards Yanmen Pass.
Gu Qing stood on the wall of Yanmen Pass, standing here and could smell the smell of barbecue, the fire continued to burn so that the offensive situation of the Turks had eased, watching many Turks break free and want to escape from this battlefield.
"Shoot the arrows!" Gu Qing shouted.
"Don't kill it." Su Dingfang looked at the sea of fire and felt furious in his heart, "I have already killed more than 100,000 people, and the only ones left are the Turkic deserters, they can't do anything, Gu Qing, forget it." ”
"Shoot the arrows!" Gu Qing still shouted.
Arrows shot up into the sky again. Ruthlessly towards the remaining Turkic people who had been frightened, harvesting the remaining lives, Yang Sheng looked at the sea of fire and felt furious in his heart, it's not that he hasn't fought before, but is this a war? The Turks, who have always been called barbarians by the Central Plains, have no room for resistance in the face of thermal weapons such as explosives, gasoline, and mines.
This is not war! This is simply a massacre! Yang Sheng turned his head to look at Gu Qing, whether this Gu Qing came to the Tang Dynasty was a blessing or a curse, slaughtering the entire 180,000 Turkic army with a hot weapon!
This result was enough to make Tubo, Tuguhun, and the countries of the Western Regions frightened.
A night of fighting brought the Turks to a halt before the Yanmen Pass, and no one crossed the thunder pond.
The fire burned until dawn, the ground was full of charred corpses, Cheng Biting the Golden Bull entered the reach, with the army coming, Cheng Biting Jin hurriedly came to the Yanmen Pass city wall, the sky-high fire made him afraid, looking at the tired soldiers on the head of the city shouted: "What about people! What about people! Silence, Gu Qing! ”
"Father, here the child is." Cheng Chumo said.
Gu Qing, Su Dingfang, and Cheng Chumo stood on the head of the city intact before he breathed a sigh of relief, and when Cheng Yanjin saw the charred corpses all over the field outside Yanmen, he was speechless for a while, what happened here.
"Silence ......" Cheng Yanjin looked at this scene, and his voice trembled.
"Father, the child is so tired, the child goes to sleep for a while." Cheng Chumo walked down the city with a numb face.
"Gu boy!" Cheng Yanjin looked at Gu Qing.
Gu Qing shook his head and didn't want to speak, "Uncle Cheng, the kid is tired!" ”
No one has slept well these days, tens of thousands of defenders, everyone hasn't slept for days and nights to make gasoline, make hot air balloons A fire drained everyone's energy, Gu Qing turned around and didn't look at the charred corpses all over the ground, and came to a relatively quiet corner of Yanmen Pass, seeing that Cheng Chumo was also lying here, Gu Qing was also so tired that he didn't have the strength to take off his armor, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
This sleeping Gu Qing had nightmares, his mind was full of the screams of the Turks, wailing and crying, and the scene of the sea of fire kept appearing.
It was already dark when he woke up again, Gu Qing was awakened by a nightmare, breathing in the cold air with a groggy head, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he grabbed a soldier and said, "What time is it?" ”
"It's time to go back to Zhonglang, it's time." The soldier replied.
...... It should be around eleven o'clock in the evening, Gu Qing said to him, "Is there any water?" ”
"Yes!" The soldier handed over a water bag, "General Zhonglang, I'm Yang Sheng's person!" My name is Sun Sheng. ”
"Hmmm! I remember you. Gu Qing nodded, "What about Yang Shengren." ”
"He's still sleeping, I'm going to wake him up."
"No need!" Gu Qing interrupted him, "It's okay, let me be quiet for a while." ”
