Chapter 300: Fry Lao Tzu!
Only he knows himself best, Xiang Fang's guess is very correct, and no one can understand the Tang Army's combat system better than the Tang Army.
In the Chinese army on the opposite side, the face of the desire valley was pale, and he couldn't wait to personally raise his sword and go into battle and behead the defenders of the opposite city.
What Desire Gu She didn't expect was that there would be Tang Jun on the opposite side.
If it weren't for those damn Tang troops, they would have captured the damn city of Yanqi a long time ago.
Now, the main force of the Tang Army is only about a hundred miles away from here, and there is only one day left for them at most.
What's even worse is that the damn scouts didn't see the main force of the Tang Army, but were directly defeated by their scouts, and the news they brought back turned out to be that the main force of the Tang Army had appeared nearby, but they didn't know the specific location.
"Explore, continue to explore, if you can't find the main force of the Tang Army, you don't have to come back." Desire Gushe angrily pointed at the scout and said.
"Yes!" The scout didn't dare to go against the words of Desire Valley, so he could only change horses and continue to drag his tired body towards the direction in which Tang Jun appeared.
glanced at the fluttering jade pendant opposite, but the city was solid.
In the eyes of Lust Gushi, this is his own shame.
East. The Turkic Khanate was defeated by the Tang people, and he fled to the Western Turkic Khanate with a small number of troops, constantly gathering some scattered tribes on the way, and finally developed to this point.
East. The demise of the Turks is a pain that Desire Gushe has been unable to forget for a long time.
He wants to take revenge, he wants to command the entire Western Turks, command the entire Western Regions, and then lead the army to re-attack the Tang Dynasty and attack Chang'an.
With 8,000 soldiers, he couldn't wait to establish himself as the Khan of Ebilu, and through continuous warfare and the support of Yehu Khan, he became the representative of the Western Turks in the Western Regions.
It is precisely because of the opportunity that Desire Valley has seen that it is so eager to develop and grow.
But the damned Tang people actually came again, which made Desire Gushe's dream begin to be shattered.
The prestige that had been built up with great difficulty was gradually lost under the successive tricks of the Tang Army.
And Ye Hu, who had just become the Great Khan, was naturally unwilling to be robbed of his glory by the Tang people.
So there was the battle of exterminating Yanqi, 10,000 people, a full 10,000 Turkic cavalry, of which 8,000 people were set up in the valley, plus 2,000 people sent by Yehu Khan, so that they were enough to destroy any country in the Western Regions.
Along the way, it was smooth sailing, but it was planted here in Yanqi City.
Defeat is absolutely not allowed, and losing this battle is tantamount to giving up the Western Regions to the Tang people.
Desire Gu Shi will not agree, and Ye Hu will not agree either.
"Up! Go on the offensive! Forrest Gump, you join in with 5,000 men and tell everyone that if anyone dares to be lazy this time, wait for Ben Khan's endless revenge! Tang Jun was close at hand, and he clearly realized that there was not much time left for him, and he could no longer paddle unhurriedly like before.
If you can't defeat Yanqi, it means that the Western Turks have lost the entire Western Regions, and they will also lose trust on Ye Hu's side, unify the Western Turks, and the possibility of returning to the east no longer exists.
It was a threat to these countries that came together, and now, it is naturally nothing to threaten again.
……
With the addition of 5,000 Turkic cavalry, the battle was noticeably much fiercer.
The countries of the Western Regions, which were originally a little paddling, did not dare to fight their lives one by one like before, and they didn't care about anything, just rushed forward with their heads shut, and there was no pity to die, and it was a great fate to live.
This kind of enemy army that charged with a decisive mentality instantly crushed the Yanqi defenders on the city wall.
War is not fought to die, but to live better.
When one party is determined to die, if the other party does not show the same attitude, then the result is already obvious.
The bows and arrows overhead have become much denser, and despite the city walls as cover, the number of soldiers who have fallen from the arrows is also increasing.
In addition to the Tang army, which can fight back fearlessly, the defenders of Yanqi are now only left with fear.
Hide your body tightly behind the wall, and then reach out and shoot the bow and arrows, regardless of the accuracy of your head or where the arrows go.
It seems that none of them have anything to do with them, and the only thing left is to shoot the bow and arrow in his hand.
Of course, there will be no quality in such a counterattack.
Greedy for life and afraid of death, Xiang Fang was very helpless and speechless.
Maybe this is the real situation in the entire Western Regions, who knows!
'Whoosh! ’
Controlling the bow and arrows with his own hands, he leaned out, and almost without aiming, he let go of his hand, and the bow and arrow came out, and an enemy soldier fell in response.
The advantage of the wall is that even with the same equipment, the range on the wall will be much higher than that below.
However, the number of enemy troops under the city wall was too much, and the troops of about seven or eight thousand Western Regions, plus five thousand Turkic cavalry, and 12,000 troops attacked the city together.
And the defenders now have only about two thousand men left, and the average person has to deal with six or seven enemies, and they are simply too busy.
The devil knows where a bow and arrow flew and swooped straight at Xiang Fang.
And the chaotic battlefield also made Xiang Fang not notice this bow and arrow flying towards him at all.
The bow and arrow swept across his body, and there was a cold feeling in his arm, followed by a wave of pain.
Pulling the bow and arrow again, Xiang Fang looked down, and the bow and arrow grazed along his arm, leaving a scar that was not too deep.
For this kind of small injury, Xiang Fang was not even in the mood to bandage it.
Standing up and raising his hand with another bow, and then without looking at his own results, he shrank his body back as fast as he could, preventing the situation just now from happening again.
"Captain, I can't stand it!"
More and more urgent voices kept coming.
The scale of more than 10,000 people came to attack such a small city, and there were more than 1,000 Yanqi defenders who dragged oil bottles.
In fact, until now, the defense is really still on the defensive, and the defense is effective.
There were only less than 800 Tang troops left, and the Yanqi people had already been frightened by this scene, and their legs were weak, and they hid behind the city wall at a loss.
The sea of people, the following is completely the appearance of a sea of people tactics, dense, as far as the eye can see, there are people everywhere, going forward and one after another, and the speed of killing is not as fast as the speed of the enemy's replenishment.
The front can barely be supported, but as the enemy army grows more and more, the bows and arrows above the head become more and more dense, and the defenders on the city wall naturally become more and more difficult to deal with.
There were already crossbows shooting arrows at the walls, and once they had built a ladder, the situation would be even more difficult.
"Throw a grenade!" Xiang Fang also knew that he had to dispatch a big killing weapon, otherwise it would be impossible to succeed in saving Yanqi, so he turned his head and shouted at the city: "Pull out the bomb cart and bomb Lao Tzu!" ”
The grenade didn't carry much, plus some was consumed before.
So now Tang Jun has more in his hands, only about five or six, and even only two or three less.
For such a big war, this reserve is obviously not enough.
But a grenade is a grenade after all, and it can't be treated like a bow and arrow.
'......Boom'
Soon, a soldier took out a grenade, took off the fire fold from his body, cooperated in pairs, lit the fuse, and threw it out with all his might.
A deafening explosion erupted from below the city, and with it was an endless scream.
Some unlucky ghosts didn't even have time to wail, so they returned to heaven in a daze.
The crowd tactics greatly limit the penetration of grenades.
But in the same way, the crowd tactics also maximize the lethality of grenades.
Often a grenade can take at least six or seven people away, and even if it can't kill them, it can turn them into wounded soldiers, and wounded soldiers are ineffective here, no different from dead.
And the grenade has another role, one that the Tang army has to pay attention to, and it is also the reason why horses are used in pursuit and infantry in combat.
Often when the war horse charges, the soldiers will use a cloth to cover the eyes of the war horse, or even use a cloth to block the ears of the war horse.
The purpose is to prevent the war horse from being frightened, or the horse from being frightened.
The loud explosion of the grenade is no longer something that can be solved by blindfolding or blocking ears.
Such a loud voice, such a close distance, is blocked in the ears, and the war horse will definitely be frightened.
At this time, instead of helping themselves, the war horse will mess up their formation, and even injure their own soldiers.
Horses, like people, are frightened and frightened.
The first reaction of a frightened person is to hide, but the horse is running, no matter where it goes, it is just running around.
An overwhelming array of grenades was dropped from the city, and huge explosions rang out one after another.
The formation of the enemy army, which was originally neat and orderly, was instantly chaotic.
There was a bombed no-man's land, which was full of wounded soldiers, and before they could react, the frightened horses were all over the place, and the horses' hooves kept trampling on the bodies of the wounded soldiers who fell to the ground, and again and again, and soon these wounded soldiers were turned into a terrible mass of flesh.
"Retreated~~~They retreated~~~" A bold Yanqi soldier poked his head out and looked at it, but he saw that the enemy army was retreating in a disorderly manner, the war horses were running around, some collided, some were knocked off the war horses, and then trampled by other war horses, all kinds of death methods emerged in endlessly, I had never seen such a battle, and I was also very curious about the sound just now, what kind of effect it caused.
shouted loudly, and more and more other Yanqi defenders dared to show their heads to take a look at the grand scene below.
At this time, the Yanqi soldier who was the first to shout poked out his head to look at the city, and then immediately after, with his hands on his belly, the whole person instantly curled up: 'Vomit ......'
For someone who has never fought a war in a row, being able to stay here is already a victory.
If you let him see the scene under the city wall at this moment, if you don't vomit out the bitter water in your stomach, you will win.
One, two, countless ......
The Yanqi defenders, who were dancing excitedly because the enemy had retreated, instantly held a vomiting meeting one by one, and each competed hard.
As for the Tang army, they have long been accustomed to such a scene, and after a day of fighting, they didn't have time to vomit, and the only action one by one was to put away the remaining grenades, keep the fire folds, and then lean their backs against the city wall and start to rest.
