Chapter 478: Repulsion

"Shoot ......."

The command flag waved, and the 30,000 archers who received the order loosened the bowstring that looked like a full moon.

Many people have always had a misunderstanding about the peoples of the steppe, that is, the steppe people will only fight with cavalry, which is actually a wrong concept.

Starting from the oldest Qiang people, at that time, because there was no suitable saddle and stirrups, the main way of attack of the steppe people at that time was to ride fast horses, and after rushing to a place, they dismounted and lined up to fight, which is why in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Central Plains people were often able to achieve great victories against the steppe people.

In the later period, with the gradual emergence of saddles and stirrups, the steppe peoples with war horses and excellent riding skills gradually changed from conquered to conquerors.

Since then, although the steppe peoples have always used cavalry as the main medicine to fight, it does not mean that they will not fight on foot.

At this time, these 30,000 archers were Turkic warriors who dismounted from their horses.

"Touching ....."

A crisp sound, still with a trill, resounded in the heavens and the earth.

"It's not good, dodge, dodge."

The Tiele soldiers in the city did not care about what tactics the Turks outside the city used, and at this time they only saw that in the blink of an eye, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, which were composed of countless arrow rains.

"Bang Bang Bang ......."

"Ahh Help, help, I don't want to die, it's not like death! ”

.......

In the face of the overwhelming rain of arrows, even if the Tiele warriors at the head of the city dodged with all their might, there were still some unlucky people who were shot by sharp arrows, wailing and screaming.

"Shoot, Shoot Again........"

Although he couldn't see what was going on above the city, he could imagine that under the excitement, he issued an order to continue firing one after another, and with Ayanlu's order, Lushan City was really like a rain of arrows, not only the entire city, but also many places in the city were covered with a rain of arrows.

According to the description of the people who did the fact, the whole city was white everywhere at that time, just like the reeds by the river when they were in full bloom, as if the wind would blow and flutter in all directions, which were the white feathers at the end of the bow and arrow.

"Archers shoot freely, siege teams, follow me to attack the city."

After a few rounds of arrows, Ayanru finally stopped his attack, threw his horsewhip to one of his attendants, and shouted at the impatient Turkic army behind him, who had been waiting for more than 10,000 for a long time.

"Rush ......"

Ayanlu's order was like a key to open a cage, and more than 10,000 Turkic warriors who had been prepared for a long time rushed towards Lushan City like wild wolves in trouble, wielding swords.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

A huge crashing sound came from outside the city, so that after the people in Lushan City heard it, they felt uncomfortable all over their bodies.

Don't think that the grassland people really only ride horses and shoot arrows, for the siege, although the grassland people are not as professional as the Han people, with a wide variety of siege weapons, but they don't really don't understand anything, at least, the general siege needs to hit the door cone and ladder, they are still equipped, in the grassland, because of the different habits, the general city, that is, the use of some low soil or wood to build, so, these basic siege tools, is enough for them to use, such as Lushan City, a strong city on the grassland, That's extremely rare.

"Resist, resist, come, give me the city gate to die, don't let the Turks come in, and the archers, all the archers are ready, and they will be intercepted at any time after listening to the order."

At the head of Lushan City, a Hui general with round eyes was giving an order, this is now the commander of all the armies in Lushan City, Mu Hanlin, although Mu Hanlin is only in his forties this year, but among all the generals in the entire Hui City, his identity is the most noble, not only because he is Aledo's own uncle, but also because he once led the weak forces to resist the enemy's attack, so that his eldest brother, that is, Aledo's father, escaped.

Therefore, although in Lushan City, Aledo's identity is the most noble, but the commander who is truly recognized by all ethnic groups is Mu Hanlin.

"Uncle, why don't you let people shoot arrows, if it goes on like this, although our city gate is strong, I'm afraid it won't be able to resist for long!" Aledo and Deputy Voloa walked anxiously to Mu Hanlin's side, and Aledo asked eagerly.

"Don't be anxious, the Great Khan is not the time to use bows and arrows, although the city gate looks more dangerous, but his subordinates have already made people pile up huge stones behind the city gate, and they will not be able to open the city gate for a while, so they can only climb through the ladder."

Mu Hanlin said lightly.

"Kill, kill, kill, hahaha, you cowardly Tiele people should have been wiped out on the grassland a long time ago, today I represent the great Ashina Bone Dalu Khan, to conquer you, you still dare to resist, I will kill you all."

Alalu, who rushed behind the army, was a rare warrior of the Turks, and he could not break through at the gate of the city, and the warriors who climbed up from the ladder were cut down from above by the Tiele people one by one, and after falling down from the city wall, he couldn't help but roar angrily.

"Come on, charge me, whoever dares to retreat, kill him."

Annoyed, Ayunru couldn't help but roar.

"Kill ......"

Under the supervision of Ayanlu, the Turkic warriors, who were already extremely brave, broke out with even greater combat power, and even many people had rushed to the city on several occasions and opened up the situation, but unfortunately, under the reasonable fight of the Tiele soldiers at the head of the city, they still failed.

"Uncle, it's not a way to go on like this, there are more and more enemies in the city, if we don't think of a way, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for long." Aledo couldn't help but shout to Muhanlin as he cut down a Turkic warrior who had rushed to the city.

It's a pity that Aledo's shouting is like playing the piano to a cow, Mu Hanlin has no reaction, as if he didn't hear it at all, in this case, Aledor is helpless even if he is angry, after all, here, Mu Hanlin is a handsome, and he is just an ordinary warrior.

"Okay, that's the time, come and sprinkle oil."

After a while, Aledo suddenly heard Mu Hanlin shouting to his side.

Hearing Mu Hanlin's shout, a group of sturdy warriors quickly carried barrels of half-human height from under the city wall, and judging from the expressions of those warriors who were extremely struggling, the contents of this barrel were extremely heavy.

"What is this?"

Both Aledo and Deputy Voloa were full of doubts.

Soon, their doubts were answered.

As the lids of the barrels were opened one by one, an extremely pungent smell filled the entire city.

"Kerose"

In an instant, the name appeared in everyone's hearts.

After the barrel was opened, the soldiers poured half of the oil into the city according to Mu Hanlin's instructions, while some people threw the whole barrel directly outside the city, some barrels fell to pieces when they reached the outside of the city, and some barrels rolled into the distance very strongly.

"What is this, the Tiele people are not stupid, how can they get water outside the city."

Looking at the actions of the head of Lushan City, Ah Yanlu was full of doubts, but soon his doubts were explained.

The pungent smell soon wafted into his nose as the oil drifted away.

"It's not good, it's fire oil, come here, order all the soldiers to retreat, retreat immediately."

Although Ayanlu is warlike, it does not mean that he is a simple man who only knows how to fight, and if he is really a simple person, he will not achieve such a position in the Turkic army.

After discovering that the army of Tiele at the head of the city was pouring fire oil into the city, he knew that the Tiele people wanted to prevent fire, so he gave the order to retreat very decisively.

It's just that it's easy to go uphill and hard to go downhill, no matter how elite the troops in the world are, once they disperse, they can't do it in a moment or a half, let alone that now is the time to attack the city, when everyone is fighting bravely to kill the enemy, who can immediately leave the battlefield.

"Ignition ....."

Two faint words spit out from Mu Hanlin's mouth.

And he saw countless torches being thrown from above the city.

"Boom ........."

As if by magic, in the blink of an eye, the flames rose all over the sky, and everything in front of everyone's eyes disappeared, only the dim light of the fire filled all the world in front of them.

"Ah........ Help, help! ”

Accompanied by the sky-high fire, there are countless fire people who are burned by the flames, these people are because they are too close to Lushan City, and can not retreat in time Turkic warriors, at this moment, they were swallowed by the sky-high fire, although the fire is fierce, but it will not burn them for a while, they are because of the severe pain, while constantly wailing, while rolling around, running.

"Brother, brother, let me go, I want to save my brother back."

"Child, my child ,......."

If the miserable howls of those fire people are unbearable, what is even more unacceptable is that the miserable screams of many Turkic people, the steppe peoples because of their own characteristics of civilian capital, lead to their own battles, often all of them are dispatched, sometimes three generations of a family have to hold weapons, wear armor to kill the enemy, in this way, because they are all relatives, and produce a huge cohesion, and even many times, in the face of a strong enemy, even if the last person will not collapse, because they know, They are surrounded by their own relatives, and if they escape, then their relatives will be slashed by the enemy.

But there is a huge disadvantage of this agreement, that is, many times they will be affected by emotions and do something unacceptable, such as giving up many opportunities to win in order to save their relatives, often avenging their own relatives, and thus launching a bloody massacre against the enemy who caused the death of their relatives.

This is why the battles on the steppe are often very bloody, and many tribes, after defeating the rival tribe, often slaughter all the men in the rival tribe who are higher than the wheels of the wagon, leaving only the women who can bear children and the boys who will become slaves in the future.

"Come on, hold them in, don't let them rush over."

Seeing that some people wanted to rush over to help their loved ones because they were in such pain, Ayunlu ordered with a cold face.

"Huh, okay, okay, uncle, you are worthy of being my No. 1 general, and you have already made arrangements, this fire, I'm afraid it will burn a lot of Turks!"

Looking at the fire in the sky, and the Turks under the city who were engulfed in fire and constantly wailing, Aledo couldn't help but praise Mu Hanlin with admiration on his face.

"The Great Khan has won a prize, such a thing can be indispensable, the first time you use it, it is unexpected, and the next time you don't have such a good chance, and even, the next time the Turks attack, I'm afraid it will be even more ferocious."

For Aledo's praise, Mu Hanlin was not proud, but said a little solemnly.

"Slap, slap, slap........"

With the sound of horsewhips slapping on his body, the sound of angry reprimands also spread around.

"Didn't you say that you would definitely be able to take Lushan City, didn't you say that you couldn't take Lushan City, so you shaved your head to see it, now, how about now, Lushan City is still in the hands of the Tiele people, you are good, you are back in disgrace, but the more than 5,000 elite warriors of Ben Khan will never come back, you say, what should I do, what should Ben Khan do."

While slapping Ah Yanlu, who was kneeling in front of his horse, with the golden silk horse whip in his hand, Ashina Gu Daolu scolded angrily.

It's no wonder that Ashina Guduolu will be so angry, before Ashina attacked the city, he said that it doesn't matter whether he can take the city or not, as long as his army exists, Lushan City will fall into his hands sooner or later, this attack is just to show his military might to the Tiele people, everything is based on the lives of the soldiers.

But after a battle, they still lost more than 5,000 soldiers, you know, don't look at the Turks now have 200,000 troops, but this is already all the confidence of the Turks on the steppe, it can be said that all the Turkic men over the age of fifteen and under the age of fifty on the steppe are here.

Every time someone is lost, it is extremely heart-wrenching for Ashina Bone Duolu, but in today's half a day, under a fire, 5,000 elite soldiers are gone all of a sudden, how can you make Ashina Bone Duolu willing.

Although Ashina Guduolu also knew that this matter was not all the responsibility of Ashunu, when he found out that the Tiele people at the head of the city were throwing fire oil, Ayanlu was ready to retreat, which was already commendable, and if there was another person, maybe there would be greater losses.

"My subordinates have betrayed the trust of the Great Khan, and the trust of many soldiers, and have caused 5,000 warriors to die on the battlefield, so that my Great Turks have suffered huge losses, and my subordinates think that they are guilty, and ask the Great Khan to give me a chance, let me join the death camp, and do my last strength for the Great Khan."

Facing the angry Ashina Gu Duolu, Ah Yanlu replied with a blank face as if he didn't feel the whip hitting his body at all.
