Chapter 196: Zhanyang Pass III
The earth-shattering bang did not come from a crude mechanism, but the sound of thousands of Tuyuhun soldiers falling to the ground in a forest of guns.
What is hell on earth?
Sitting under the city gate building, looking at the big pit in front of him, Yang Shuang couldn't help but close his eyes.
The flag was waved, and Shi Da and Lu Xiaobu, who commanded the war horse to drag the gears, operated in the opposite direction.
The sloping "T" shaped log rolls, and the passage of the southern wall, which is divided into countless pieces, slowly closes again.
The empty head of the city, and the sword and shield soldiers holding swords and shields on the north side, forming a strange scenery.
The Tuyuhun soldiers who stopped on the battlements couldn't help but shiver and quickly retreated down the ladder.
Not to mention them, even the sword and shield soldiers who knew the principle would not dare to walk on the empty south wall passage at will at this moment.
Yang Shuang shook off the cloak behind his back, and Shi Shiran stepped on it.
To be honest, he was also a little frightened at the thought of the wailing struggles below, and the countless corpses that had been pierced.
But this is war!
"Change the guard!"
The sword and shield soldiers who had been guarding all morning not only needed to rest, but also needed to overcome this psychological problem.
And the 2,000 bandits who didn't know the truth were led by Qi Guoyuan, who was full of white faces, and walked up to the passage of the south wall.
Just as they were changing their guards, they happened to stagger past the sword and shield soldiers who were full of tension and walked down the city wall in a neat line.
What happens when a horde of hooligans meets a regular army?
First there was silence.
The former looked down and stared, the latter with his head held high.
Then, a few old oilmen who couldn't help but talk spoke.
"Brother, well done!"
"Oh my God! Our 2,000-strong army actually held the combined army of 70,000 or 80,000 Turks and Tuyuhun? ”
"Nonsense! Who is the Grand Governor? Horse Thief! The boss of our big brother! ”
"Huh? So what should we call the Metropolitan Governor in private? ”
"Big brother's boss, of course it's big brother!"
The bandit is not as serious as the sword and shield soldiers.
Although the latter is even more immodest than a bandit when he is not trained, he looks like a soldier more than anyone else on the battlefield.
Yang Shuang is not a serious person, and he doesn't have much disgust with the bandits who only train for two days, even if they climb the city wall.
are all men with their heads pinned to the crotch of their pants and licking blood from the edge of the knife, as long as they can survive on the battlefield, how can there be so many rules.
Rules are dead, the art of war is alive!
In this oppressive siege, morale is the most important thing!
"Array!"
After Princess Qianjin was taken away by the soldiers, Qi Guoyuan stayed on the pass.
After the influence of the scene just now, now walking in the passage of the south city wall, he suddenly felt that his calves were a little weak.
However, the bandits who didn't know the truth were very excited, and they all raised their shields and raised their shields, those with guns, and some of them held weakened bows and arrows, aiming at the city.
Today's siege of Tuyuhun suffered heavy losses, and I think the battle will be slowed down in the afternoon.
Yang Shuang turned his head to look at the pass, the labor of the trebuchet had already pushed up the wheelbarrow transporting stone bullets and began to clean up the corpses in the city wall.
It's a big project.
There were a few who were stabbed to death by spears, and even fewer fell to death, and the rest were either crushed to death or suffocated!
There are only two exits in the three-hundred-meter passage, and even if it is only five meters wide, there are three or four people superimposed in each meter.
But if you don't clean it up, how will you pit the Turks next time?
The scorching sun moved westward, and after noon, the enemy troops outside the pass did not move.
Even Apo's iron cavalry did not rain arrows.
Boredom, the dead bandits cursed on the city wall for a long time, and some ran out of the city along the ladder that was not knocked down to continue scolding.
It's a pity that the other party ignored this.
Change of guard in the evening.
After a thousand days of rest, the laborers pushed the bed crossbows on the north wall to the south wall and relocated the wolf's tooth beats, and then began the vigil.
The bandits and the sword and shield soldiers are asleep.
Standing in the city gate building, Yang Shuang, who had not eaten or rested for almost a day, was still staring at the bright fire of the enemy camp in the distance.
"Big brother, aren't we going to rush for a while?" Hearing about the battle of Bison Gou, he knew from Lu Xiaobu that his eldest brother had been wronged, and Shi Da was a little impatient.
Yang Shuang looked up at the starry sky and sighed suddenly, "Wait another day!" ”
"Huh?" Shi Da, Lu Xiaobu, and Qi Guoyuan, who came to set up a hot set, were extremely puzzled.
Yang Shuang no longer spoke, but wrapped himself in a cloak and half-sat behind the wall, ready to squint for a while.
The fact that Tuyuhun and Apo have joined forces does not mean that the relationship between the two parties is really good.
Tugu Hun is good friends with the eastern sand bowl, but it is the western Datou who obeys orders!
After all, they were separated from the Eastern Turks by Liangzhou, and they were almost connected with the Western Turks before the Western Regions were taken by Yang Shuang.
As for sending troops to help Apo, it is just to fulfill the agreement with Sha Bolu.
And now
Inside the Tuyuhun camp.
Murong Fuyun dared to be angry and didn't dare to say a letter in front of the second brother, "The Great Sui Imperial City sent a large number of heralds to convey a sudden change to the various guard mansions and the governor's mansion, and one of them was robbed by us all the way!" ”
Murong Yong was still grieving for the more than 3,000 soldiers who died tragically, and when he heard this, he just nodded, and did not make the slightest move.
"Second brother! When the soldiers sent out to Longmen Canyon, my father repeatedly told us three brothers to be a snake to Apo, don't rush to kill in front, and now you have broken the eldest brother and lost so many soldiers and horses, don't you understand?! ”
"I want revenge!" Obviously, Murong Yong was a little angry.
"I'll talk about it after reading the letter!" Murong Fuyun opened the cow belt that had been opened and spread the paper inside in front of Murong Yong.
The latter originally didn't care, thinking that the Sui army had some new policy, but when he saw the above content, it was like being struck by lightning.
"How is this possible?!!"
Murong Yong looked at his very smart third brother in disbelief.
Murong Fuyun's face was complicated, "It's not impossible, it's very likely!" ”
"What about us?"
"Please talk to Apo Khan!"
The sound of horses' hooves came from the dark night, and the soldiers patrolling in Yangguan immediately became vigilant.
"Report! Urgent! There is an urgent report from Dunhuang, the Styx camp, and the Yongfeng camp! ”
"I'm the Metropolitan Governor's Guard, bring me urgently!" Unequivocally, the Yangguan soldier took out the token from his bosom and handed it to the knight.
The latter watched it, dropped the three letters, and turned around and ran towards the Jade Gate.
Seeing that the other party was so urgent, the soldiers of Yangguan did not dare to slack off, threw the patrol task to the deputy team, and ran up the city wall quickly.
Yang Shuang, who was squinting and napping, had already heard the sound of horses' hooves, and when he saw a person running, he quickly stood up, "What's the urgency?" ”
"Three directions, Dunhuang, Styx Camp, Yongfeng Camp!"
Yang Shuang's heart tightened, uncle, it won't be Sha Bo who took the opportunity to attack, these three places are all tight, right?!
Hurriedly tore open the letter, walked to the city gate, and carefully observed it next to the torch.
Three letters, one from Long Live Shi, the head of the march of the Styx camp!
It seems that this guy was not only pardoned for his previous crimes, but also became the commander of the first army.
The other letter is the commander of the Xiongqu Army of Zuo Wuwei, Lao Hei stationed in the Yongfeng camp?!
Yang Shuang pouted, this tenth ** hugged Liu Fang's thigh!
The last one is a little bit interesting.
It turned out to be Dunhuang Juncheng.
I remember the year before last, in the Xiliang War, this person lost Yongfeng County, and later transferred to Yangguan, but was driven away by his own side.
