Chapter 895: Shield
"Damn it! Let us be a shield! When Knotty Khan received the order, he cursed a few times, and almost threw the knife in his hand to the ground in anger.
"Khan, what should I do? Brothers can't die in vain! A general on the side said anxiously. Wouldn't letting them dismount and clear the barricades would be tantamount to exposing all the brothers to the arrows of the Tang Army, which would inevitably cause great casualties, and who would want to do such a thing as sending them to death?
Many people from the Knotted Bone tribe were angry, their fingers were blue, and they turned their heads to look at the main tent set up by Desire Valley.
"That's enough..."Knotty Khan weakly lifted his forehead and seemed to be a little prostrate, "Go clear the barricade!" ”
The subordinates around him were shocked, "Khan! ”
The Khan had already dismounted, and walked towards the hillside step by step.
When the rest of the generals saw this scene, they gritted their steel teeth one by one, hated the valley to the core, but they were helpless, and finally dismounted like a knotted khan, and walked forward one after another, braving the rain of arrows.
Seeing the performance of the Knot Bone Tribe, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he turned his head to the left and right and ordered: "Let our archers push forward a little more, don't let the Knot Bone Tribe hold a grudge, they will be used in the future!" ”
"Yes! Archer! Advance! ”
The archers who had originally retreated took fifteen steps forward, which eased the arrow rain attack of the Tang army on the top of the mountain a lot, and greatly reduced the pressure of the Jointbone Tribe, which made the soldiers of the Bone Tribe's face soothe a lot and made them speed up the speed of clearing the roadblocks.
Nearly 20,000 people cleared the barricades on the hillside, the speed was quite fast, the Tang army was suppressed by the rain of arrows on the other side, and it was almost impossible to effectively block it, seeing that the roadblocks were about to be cleared, and the cavalry in the other two directions of the Western Turks were about to press up, Hou Junji finally couldn't help it and conveyed the order to the soldiers below.
"Archers stand back, thunderbolt throwers, light the thunderbolt and throw it at me! Throw it at Lao Tzu accurately, don't blow up your own people! ”
The archers behind the earthen wall and the thunderbolt throwers swapped positions, the archers shot arrows in the back, and the throwers in front lit the thunderbolts in their hands and threw them at the Western Turks.
Due to the fact that the thunderbolts were thrown very far on the hillside, almost all of them were thrown into the tribe of the Khan of the Kone, and even a little further into the main army of the Western Turks.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! "There was a huge explosion at the bottom of the hillside, and small mushroom clouds rose up.
The Bone Tribe bore the brunt, and the people who were blown up by a round of thunderbolts turned over on their backs, and the minced meat flew sideways.
Many people had never experienced such a horrific side, and the surviving soldiers ran backwards with strange screams, and the wounded soldiers let out a terrible cry of pain. The army of 20,000 men was in disarray.
Luckily for the Khan, he was knocked down by one of the soldiers who were struck by the shattered iron that flew out of the explosion, but he escaped without any damage except for a slight rumble in his ears.
"Don... The Tang Army really has that kind of terrifying weapon! The Khan of the Bones recalled the moment of the explosion just now, and he still had palpitations, and the escape from death made him completely lose the courage to fight, and the fear in his heart prompted him to run back desperately.
The rest of the arthropod soldiers were similar to him, and everyone was frightened by the thunderbolt and ran back desperately.
Soon, the second round of thunderbolts of the Tang army fell, and after the earth-shattering loud noise, the smoke was completely silent, and those soldiers who were not killed by the first round of thunderbolts probably did not escape the second round, and almost all of them died.
Those who escaped from the hillside had lost their fighting spirit and ran to the grassland, scattering like frightened birds.
Desire Gu Shi was also frightened by the movement made by the Tang Army's thunderbolt fire, and almost fled with his head in his hands, and the war horse under his crotch had been frightened by the sound of the explosion, if it weren't for someone next to him, I'm afraid the horse would have gotten out of control.
A few thunderbolts also fell into his camp just now, and there were at least dozens of dead and wounded. And that's not all, the most important thing is that many of the soldiers' horses were frightened by the sound of the explosion, and the horses were in a mess and ran back!
You must know that the foundation of Desire Valley to build a strong army is these war horses under the crotch, and without excellent war horses, there would be no Western Turks today.
The frightened horses mean that they have lost their combat effectiveness and completely lost the hope of attacking.
The same situation was encountered by the Western Turkic armies in two other directions. Under the brainless bombardment of the Tang Army's thunderbolts, the war horses fled in fright, and the offensive was self-defeating. The plan to crush the Tang army in several rounds was also completely bankrupt.
It was not easy to stabilize the chaotic troops, and those who wanted to be angry almost went crazy!
I wanted to teach the Tang Army a profound lesson in the first confrontation, and it was best to completely annihilate this Tang Army, but I didn't expect to be disarmed by the Tang Army.
Compared with the loss of the soldiers, he was even more angry because of his disgraceful face and inability to convince the public!
Especially the Bone Tribe, this was the foreign aid he had finally brought in, and as a result, the Tang Army threw two rounds of thunderbolts, killing more than 700 of them and injuring more than 2,000 people.
Now that the Khan is chasing after him to explain, how can he give it? The only way to hide is to change temporary peace.
"Damn, I didn't expect the Tang Army to build fortifications so quickly, but I underestimated them....... It can't go on like this, as soon as the thunderbolt sounded, the military horses were frightened and fled, and they couldn't attack at all! "Lust Valley is in a dilemma.
"Khan, if it's difficult to storm them, why don't you trap them? After these people have been hungry for days without food, why don't they rush up and take it in one fell swoop? Someone next to him gave an opinion.
Wanting Gushe's eyes lit up, and he nodded, "Yes, it's a good idea." As far as I know, the vanguard of the Tang army will not bring too much dry food, as long as we besiege for a few days, and then attack a few times, the Tang army will definitely be physically exhausted, hehe, when the time comes, it is impossible to say that our war horses will not be afraid when they hear the explosion of thunderbolts, killing two birds with one stone! Kill two birds with one stone! Ha ha! ”
Desire Gu She laughed for a while, then turned his head to his side and ordered: "Come here, pass my order, surround the Tang Army's earthen fort, and no one is allowed to be let go." Also, send scouts, focus on exploring the location of the Tang army's reinforcements, and report back in time, we must take this Tang army before the reinforcements arrive! Can't let them make another earthen fort like this! Otherwise... Endless trouble! ”
"Yes!" Clench your fists left and right and leave. Not long after leaving, there was a shouting and scolding from outside the account.
"Can the Khan of Ebiru be in the tent? I am the Khan of the Kone, why do you hide and refuse to come to me? Could it be that my heart is weak and I can't succeed? ”
