Chapter 601: A New Style of Defending the City
Qinglong Pass.
Luo Yi and Luo Tong also led the army to the destination.
This city is currently the most majestic and steep city in Xiliang, and with this city in the way, Datang does not dare to easily violate the border. Think about it four years ago, when Cheng Biting Jin and Xu Maogong went west, although they broke the Qinglong Pass and the White Tiger Pass, and even attacked and killed under Jincheng, they also spent a lot of resources, and the loss of troops was general, and they suffered a lot of losses.
Now that this city is in Luo Yi's hands, can it still stop the Tang Army who is killing fiercely?
Standing on the city tower, looking at the overwhelming Tang army, Luo Tong sneered: "Third brother, I see that you save some cannonballs, and I will lead 50,000 iron horsemen to kill them, and promise to leave no pieces of armor for his 200,000 kills." ”
In Luo Tong's view, most of the Tang troops approaching the city tower were new recruits with no combat effectiveness, and they couldn't compare with his 50,000 snowy iron cavalry.
Not to mention that there are 200,000 people standing in front of him, even if it is 500,000 people, he dares to lead the army to rush and kill.
As soon as they heard this, Wu Qing, Dong Fan, Lin Feng and the others standing next to them were unhappy, and they objected one after another: "General Luo, what the lord said before, we have to let our wolf tooth army behave well." ”
"Yes, our mission is to defend the city."
"You're a general, you can't take credit."
...........
Luo Tong glanced at these little children and said speechlessly: "Okay, I'll give you the opportunity." ”
Luo Yi chuckled and said, "Big brother, just admit defeat?" ”
"I can't take credit from them, can I?"
Luo Yi said: "Indeed. Besides, good steel is used on the blade, we have the Qinglong Pass city wall, so why bother to fight with them. We have plenty of ammunition, and it's time to show them how powerful we are, lest they attack on a whim. ”
Luo Tong nodded.
Luo Yi asked, "Wu Qing, Dong Fan, are you ready?" ”
"My lord, I have been ready for a long time, and I am ready to go into battle at any time."
Wu Qing and Dong Fan replied.
Luo Yi said: "Okay, you remember, try not to use grenades, use clay pots 15, blow up their siege equipment first, and then blow up the soldiers." Let them see what we're capable of. ”
"No."
The crowd was extremely excited.
This was the first time that the Wolf Tooth Army had participated in a firearms defense battle.
Although the battle has not yet begun, they can imagine that they will definitely be able to beat the enemy dizzy.
Da Da...
In the distance below the city, fly and ride. It was a very young man, carrying a halberd, and his face was proud. When he came to the city, he looked at the situation on the upper floor of the city, looked coldly, and said, "On the city, but Luo Yi?" ”
"Who are you?" Luo Yi asked.
"I am the Marshal of the West Xue Dingshan, I came to take your dog's life today, and the acquaintance got out of the city and surrendered, I can spare your life. Otherwise.... Xue Dingshan shouted.
Luo Tong said with contempt: "You kid, your tone is not small, I will meet you when I come." ”
"Big brother and slow."
"How?"
Luo Yi said: "Why bother with him? We have clay pots15, just defend the city. ”
"Then we can't lose in momentum."
Luo Yi said: "Big brother, he is just a nobody, you are famous, if you continue to fight him like this, won't it fulfill him?" ”
In fact, Luo Yi said secretly in his heart: "In history, Xue Dingshan is strong in martial arts, Zeng Chang'an won the position of marshal in martial arts, compared with Luo Tong, I am afraid that it will be half a catty and eight taels, if the two fight, Luo Tong does not win, then the matter will be troublesome." ”
But he didn't dare to say this to Luo Tong, if Luo Tong didn't hold back and rushed down to the city, it would be even more troublesome.
"Well, then I don't bother with him."
Luo Yi smiled and said, "That's right." ”
"Wu Qing, Dong Fan, get ready to defend the city."
"No." The two of them each went to supervise their own soldiers.
Luo Yi shouted towards the city tower: "Xue Dingshan, don't say crazy words, if you have the ability, come to attack my Qinglong Pass." ”
Xue Dingshan shouted two more sentences, but Luo Yi ignored it.
So, he turned his horse's head around and returned to the military formation.
"Siege!" With Xue Dingshan's halberd pointing forward, there was a burst of shouts, and there were 5,000 men and horses, pushing siege towers, trebuchets, ladders, and flying bridges, and marching towards the Qinglong Pass Tower in front.
"Marshal, rest assured, these 5,000 people are the most elite soldiers and horses in the army, and they will definitely be able to capture Qinglong Pass if they are mobilized from Guannei Dao!" Next to Xue Dingshan, there was a little fat man.
His name is Xue Yong, he is Xue Dingshan's distant cousin, a relative who has never left, heard that Xue Dingshan became a general, so he came to defect, and Xue Dingshan saw that Xue Yong's martial arts were good, so he included him in his command.
Xue Dingshan sighed: "It's a pity, the emperor didn't let us move those 200,000 people, and gave these recruits to let us attack the city..." ”
"If I am asked to lead my troops and horses to meet the enemy, I will definitely be able to make a contribution!"
The so-called soldiers and horses of the headquarters are the 200,000 tiger and leopard troops that Li Shimin has asked him to train in the past three years, which are currently the most elite troops in the Tang Dynasty, selected from all armies in the world and have undergone very strict training.
And the 200,000 people he brought now are just local garrisons that are randomly mobilized, although there are also elites in the Inner Dao, but they can't be compared with the 200,000 people he trained.
Blood Yong smiled and said: "Marshal, don't worry, I have already found out, there are not many garrisons in Qinglong Pass at all, as long as we attack fiercely, we will definitely be able to fight." ”
"Oh? How many garrisons did you check? Xue Dingshan asked.
Xue Yong said: "Before Luo Yi and Luo Tong came, there were only five thousand, and now with the four thousand foot soldiers they brought, it is nine thousand garrisons, and the rest have fifty-one cavalry." ”
"This is all the troops of Qinglong Pass, compared to us, the number of troops is four times less!"
Xue Dingshan said: "Then we have to attack the city quickly, so as not their reinforcements will come." ”
"Xue Yong, I will make you beat the drum heavily and cheer for the soldiers in front!"
"Order!"
Xue Yong looked excited and called two drummers...
Knock knock...
With the sound of war drums, the Tang soldiers who were attacking the city in front of them ran faster, the flying bridge set up the moat, and the siege towers and ladders were transported from above.
As for the trebuchet, it stopped three hundred meters from the tower.
Their speed was also fast enough, and after they stopped, they immediately launched an attack on the city tower, and more than a dozen huge stones smashed towards the Qinglong Pass city tower...
Whew...
Thundered!
Luo Yi was talking to Luo Tong, and when he heard this voice, they were all startled.
"Damn it, Wu Qing, what about the artillery regiment I gave you?"
Wu Qing ran over: "Lord, the artillery regiment is already in place." ”
Luo Yi ordered: "Immediately counterattack and shell the trebuchets of the Tang Army three hundred meters away." ”
"No."
Wu Qing conveyed the order.
After a few breaths, the northeast corner of the city tower let out a roar of earth-shattering thunder: "Bang bang bang...!! ”
More than 100 earth-shattering loud noises sounded one after another, and thick white smoke rose from the city tower.
And at the same time, three hundred meters away from Qinglong Pass, fifteen trebuchets disappeared in an instant...
