Chapter 60: Confusing the Enemy III
In a few breaths, the rain of arrows covered the front line of the black-armored cavalry, and the cavalry in the front row fell to the ground as if they had been cut off by an invisible giant blade.
At the head of Tuozhi City, the iron-faced man looked at the black-armored army with a decreasing number of people, and sighed deeply.
"Father, it's just some lackeys loyal to the old thief, why should you feel distressed? If it weren't for the control of their families, how could the loyal dogs of these old thieves willingly cooperate with our actions. Prince Shi asked puzzled.
"Although they are not loyal to me, they are also the people of Shiguo after all. If my plan fails, going to hell is a small matter. But how do we deal with the warriors who have sacrificed their lives for them? And how to face the ridicule of the old thief? Na Che Shi sighed.
"Father, the Great Food Army is brave and invincible, and the intelligence of Governor Abu Muslim is unparalleled in the world, and he will definitely be able to repel the Tang Army." Na Ju Yuanen is convinced of the Great Cannibal.
"At this point, I don't know what Governor Abu Muslim's overall plan is. I only know that the governor's military order conveyed by General Qi Yade wants us to try our best to set up a maze, so that Gao Xianzhi can't figure out where the governor's main force is hiding. If the main force under the Governor's command is the hunters who hide in the grass and wait for their prey to be caught, Takueda Castle is the bait in the trap. However, we have no better choice than to use ourselves as bait. Because once the Tang army wins, no matter how tolerant Tian Khan is, he will not allow our family to continue to serve as the king of the Shi Kingdom. In the face of the powerful Anxi Army, Na Ju Che Shi's mood at this moment was far less confident and calm than when he captured Qu Le.
"Father, since there is only one way in front of you, why do you hesitate to look ahead and hesitate? Although the Tang army was good at fighting, the governor's army was never defeated. It's hard to say who killed the deer! Besides, the Tang army was on an expedition of labor, and its logistical baggage relied heavily on the Qarluq Department and the Bakhana State. Our army only needs to firmly resist Gao Xianzhi's offensive, thinking that the governor will seize the opportunity to surprise the Tang army's grain route, and then take advantage of the Tang army's lack of supplies and low morale, and attack our army inside and outside, and annihilate the Anxi Tang army in one fell swoop. That Ju Yuanen pointed out the country and talked eloquently, as if the Tang Army and the Great Food Army would operate according to his intentions, as if everything in the world was under control.
Na Juche nodded with a smile, as if agreeing with his son's opinion. But he lamented in his heart: "The ignorant are fearless, Yuan En has never experienced setbacks, and he has suffered too little to be so confident." As everyone knows, people's hearts are like the sea and unfathomable. How could the heroes of the Abu Muslim generation march and deploy in accordance with the will of the Stone Kingdom? Yuan En is so naΓ―ve! If the sacrifice of the Stone Kingdom can be exchanged for the destruction of the Tang Army, I think that the Great Cannibal will not hesitate to drive me and the tens of millions of people of the Stone Kingdom into hell! It's just that I know that I may be abandoned by the big cannibals at any time, so I can only rely on the big food to fight against the Tang Dynasty. Great God of Light, I sincerely beg you to protect the Stone Kingdom through this difficult time. As long as the Tang army is defeated this time, a certain will definitely make great efforts to revitalize the country of Shi, unite the nine surnames, and make the river a happy land for the Sogdians! β
"Father, the Black Armor Army is about to be wiped out!" Na Ju Yuan's frightened voice turned Na Ju Che Shi's attention back to the war beneath the city. He leaned against the city wall and looked down, and saw that the severed limbs and wreckage of cavalry and war horses were all over the ground. The remaining nearly 100 cavalrymen have also been surrounded by the light cavalry regiments of the Tang Army.
In all fairness, this cavalry loyal to Qule was already a rare elite of the Shi Kingdom, and they were skilled in riding and brave in battle. After changing into the Great Food Armor, weapons, and horses, the combat effectiveness has been greatly improved.
But in the face of the strong Anxi Tang army, the black-armored cavalry was killed by sharp crossbow arrows when they charged.
It was easy to brave the rain of arrows to advance hundreds of steps, the crossbowmen of the Tang army had already retreated, and the pikemen had already held the dense forest of spears obliquely, ready to fight.
Although the Great Eclipse War Horse is a divine horse, it will also be controlled by the instinct of fear in the face of the cold and shining spear, and it will stop in horror.
Na Juche knew that the brave Khorasan cavalry and the brave Tang cavalry, as long as they received orders, could definitely charge into battle against the rain of arrows and guns. They certainly don't let their mounts panic and stand still.
The black-armored cavalry hesitated in front of the spear array, and the archers, who had relined themselves after the pikemen, began to shoot upwards again, thousands of carved feathers, like flying clouds, flying over the array of pikemen. After flying to the highest point, the arrow was lowered and screamed into the ranks of the black-armored cavalry. The armor of the Great Food Army could not stop the Tang Army's strong bows and crossbows at all.
The light cavalry of the Tang Army, which was wandering around, also drew their riding bows and kept splashing feather arrows into the black-armored cavalry, and in the blink of an eye, the black-armored army was dead.
The last remaining 100 or so black-armored cavalry, under the successive blows of the Tang army, had already been frightened and had no intention of fighting.
"Yuan'en, herald, drumming!" Na Che Shi sighed and ordered helplessly.
When Na Ju Yuanen was ordered to give the order, Gao Xianzhi stood on the high platform with his waist straight, and saw that the remnants of the black-armored army disguised as the Great Food Cavalry had been shocked by the combat power of the Anxi army, and decisively ordered: "Archers stop shooting!" Spearmen be on guard to prevent movement! The light cavalry stepped forward and captured the prisoners! β
Duan Xiushi commanded the light cavalry according to the order, and when he was about to capture the remaining enemy, he suddenly heard the sound of drums at the head of Tuozhi City like thunder.
"The people of Shi Guo are crazy, they actually want to let the remnants of more than a hundred people be defeated and charge! How much more waves can they make when they have no intention of fighting? Duan Xiushi was puzzled.
Although he had doubts in his heart, Duan Xiushi's movements did not stagnate. He urged his horse forward, and the nearest black-armored cavalry was less than fifty paces.
After the Black Armor Army, which was surrounded by the Tang Legion, heard the sound of drums at the head of the city, many people showed a look of pain and relief on their faces. They raised their slender swords, or swung their knives to kill themselves, or slashed in pairs, and in an instant, they turned into cold corpses.
The tragic experience and crazy actions of the black-armored cavalry shocked the Shi soldiers guarding the city, and their morale was low.
Seeing this, Duan Xiushi ordered the light cavalry to speed up their pace and hurriedly stepped forward to arrest people.
There was a young black-armored cavalryman who raised his long knife and slammed it across his throat, but he couldn't do it. After struggling for a long time, he cried and threw the long knife aside, squatted on the ground, and made a gesture of surrender.
Seeing this, Duan Xiushi hurriedly rushed towards the young black-armored cavalry, trying to catch him.
Duan Xiushi's fingertips were about to touch the armor of the black-armored soldier, but he heard a rapid sound of breaking the air from the direction of Tuozhi City.
Duan Xiushi grabbed it with his right hand
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) held the silk silk on the opponent's armor, waist and arm force, and was about to lift the black-armored soldier up, only to see a long crossbow arrow, which had pierced through his chest, and bright red blood was gurgling out along the shaft of the arrow......
Na Juche Nose Shi threw the special strong crossbow in his hand to his son, and then shouted: "The warriors of the Stone Kingdom, the Tang army is brutal and unkind, and has threatened to massacre the city after breaking through Tuozhi City. Our relatives and families are in the city, and if we don't resist at this time, will we have to wait for the Tang army to put the butcher's knife on our necks? The army of the Governor of Abu Muslim has gathered in Samojian and is about to arrive at the city of Tuozhi. As long as we fight bravely to kill the enemy, after five days, we can join forces with the Khorasan cavalry and repel the Tang army! β
The demagogy of first suppressing and then raising, emphasizing both threat and hope, shocked the morale of the Shi ** team, and the panicked gaze became much more resolute.
Na Ju Che Shi nodded lightly, and continued to proclaim loudly: "When facing the enemy in battle, military discipline must be strict. Anyone who does not obey the military order will be beheaded! Those who escape, slash! Those who try to surrender, slash! Discipline in the army focuses on clear rewards and punishments. Whoever fights bravely will be rewarded! For every Tang Army killed, you can exchange your head for ten gold coins! For every ten Tang soldiers killed, the officer can be promoted to three levels! The vice-king Qule tried to surrender, but I killed him. I hereby solemnly swear to the God of Light that I would like to bestow the position of Vice King on the warriors who have made the greatest contributions and won the most in resisting the Tang Army! β
The heavy reward offered by the car nose made the Shi ** team feel uneasy. Vice King, what a noble existence, you can only look up on weekdays. Now, as long as you fight bravely to kill the enemy, it is possible to leap into the dragon gate and become the vice king second only to the main king.
"Kill! Fight the enemy! Seeing that the army's heart was available, Na Juyuan took the lead and shouted at the right time.
"Kill! Fight the enemy! The defenders of the Stone Kingdom at the head of the city opened their voices and echoed the shouts of the Yuan Grace in a loud voice.
When the head of Tuozhi City was shouting, on the high platform outside the city, Duan Xiushi, who was full of annoyance, said in a low voice: "Jie Shuai, my subordinates are incompetent, I didn't expect that there was a strong crossbow with such a long range in the stone **, so I failed to capture any prisoners. β
"It's okay, I ordered the capture of the prisoners, just to finally confirm whether they were the Great Food Soldiers. He dared to open his bow and shoot the soldiers who wanted to surrender, and he was even more sure that the black-armored cavalry was definitely not the Khorasan cavalry of the Great Food Rebels. Three or two strong crossbows, it is impossible to change the outcome of this battle, and Duan Bei will not have to be annoyed. Gao Xianzhi persuaded.
"Xie Jieshuai!" Duan Xiushi saw that Gao Xianzhi was so magnanimous, and his heart was relieved.
The continuous cries of the head of Tuozhi City made Gao Xianzhi's brows condense, and he snorted coldly: "Ants who don't know whether they are alive or dead, shout a few times, and they will be able to go to heaven and earth!" Pass my military orders and prepare to attack the city! β
On the high platform, the flag changed, and the sound of the hooves of the soldiers and horses was heard in the phalanx. The various units of the Anxi Army moved according to the order and began to prepare for the siege in an orderly manner.
The cannons were the first to let out a roar, and in the roar of all the auxiliaries in unison, one after another, stone bullets rose into the sky and flew towards the head of Tuozhi Castle again.
While the stone bullet was still flying in the air, the head of the city of Tuozhi "Kill the enemy!" Fight the enemy! The shouts became chaotic.
Na Ju Yuan En originally wanted to watch the battle at the head of the city, but was dragged by Na Ju Che Shi. Father and son, under the cover of the guards holding huge shields, ran down the city in a panic.
