Chapter 499: Capturing the City 6
"Crackle, crackle"
Countless burning torches, constantly bursting with sparks, the previous dark Lushan City, at this moment seems to be alive, everywhere is brightly lit, as if it is day, and everything that was hidden in the darkness before is leaking in the eyes of everyone at this time.
"Ayanlu, my lord said, for the sake of you being a warrior on the grassland, as long as you don't worry about your weapons and surrender to us, my lord promises not to kill any of you."
Under the light of the fire, as if it were day, all the Turkic soldiers looked at the black and oppressive iron horses in front of them with horrified faces, as if they were endless, and under the light of the fire, the armor on their bodies exuded a cold light, like a group of death armies crawling out of hell.
"Hahaha, surrender, phew, a bunch of cowards, you don't even have the courage to fight with me in the bright light, and now you actually want me to surrender, it's just whimsical, to tell you, there is only Ayanru who died in battle in this world, and Awanru who did not surrender, if you want my head, come over, just to tell you, you have to be prepared to pay a huge price, my Ayanlu's head is not so easy to take."
Unlike the frightened expressions of the other Turkic soldiers around him, Ayanru not only did not have the slightest fear, but looked up to the sky and laughed.
"In this case, I will fulfill your wish and make you want to die like a warrior, come and kill."
Hearing Ah Yanlu's words, Mu Hanlin, who was standing in front of the army, was not moved in the slightest, as if he had been prepared for a long time, and ordered lightly.
"Rush!"
At the sound of the order, thousands of horses moved together, and many Tiele soldiers who had long been unable to resist the killing intent waved their scimitars one after another to kill these Turkic soldiers who were lucky to survive.
For a while, the swords clashed, and the sound of killing shook the sky, but unfortunately, it came quickly and disappeared quickly.
The 10,000 Turkic soldiers who entered the city, when they were under the city just now, were shot by the rain of arrows at the head of the city, and at this time they were raided by tens of thousands of Tiele cavalry, even if they were brave, in this case, half an hour later, they also fell in a pool of blood.
Ayanlu was no exception, when Mu Hanlin saw him, his body was already covered with wounds, half of his body was gone, but even so, he did not fall, his upright body was like the strongest dead grass on the grassland, as if waiting for the arrival of spring to rejuvenate himself.
..............................
"Great Khan, this battle can't be fought, and if it goes on, today is Ayanlu, tomorrow I'm afraid there will be more warriors who will die here, even if Lushan City is really defeated, my Great Turks will also suffer heavy losses, how to rule the northern grasslands, without the suppression of powerful force, how can those tribes who surrender to us willingly be loyal to us."
Outside Lushan City, in the big tent of the Chinese army of the Turkic army, a group of Turkic generals gathered here with different expressions, constantly discussing.
And the cause is the head in the middle of the big tent, that is the head of Ayanlu, for this number of warriors in the Turkic army, and at the same time the most trusted and close general of Ashina Guduolu, no one does not know him.
It's just that no one thought that the warrior who was once able to wrestle with the strongest bull on the grassland was cut off by someone today with round eyes, and from his round eyes, it can be seen how painful and unwilling Ayanlu was when he was dying.
Some people say that in the face of a tough enemy, you have to appear stronger than him, so that you can completely deter him, so that he will not dare to bully you at will.
This principle is also applicable to the Turkic army, as the strongest warrior in the Turkic army, Ayanlu is the strongest place in the Turkic army, and now even warriors like Ayanlu have died tragically in Lushan City, and the rest of the Turkic soldiers who are not as good as Ayanlu can not feel afraid in their hearts.
"Kurdu, you are our Turkic veteran, when my father Khan rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, you followed behind his war horse, charging into battle, even after my father Khan was defeated and died, you still did not give up your responsibility, and chose to wander around the grassland against the Tang Dynasty, if you are above the Tang court, you are also an old minister of our Ashina family, it stands to reason that your will should be harder than steel, why do you say such weak words, Could it be that time has completely worn away your once steely will? ”
Hearing the veteran's words, Ashina said with a different color on his face.
"Great Khan, I Kurdu is a warrior, was, is, and will be, in my heart there will never be the idea of fear, but no fear does not mean recklessness, now Lushan City is obviously a bait, the death of Lord Ashed Yuanzhen, has let us know that the Tang people are coming to us, if we don't leave, we will fall into the danger of being caught in the front and back, when the time comes, more than 100,000 tired warriors, even if they are not afraid of death, how to fight with the elite Tang army."
After hearing Ashina's words, a trace of anger flashed on the veteran Kurdu's face and he roared loudly.
Looking at Kurdu, who was standing in the middle of the big tent and roaring at the Great Khan, many Turkic generals around him also secretly had a few traces of expectation in their hearts, in fact, this battle has been fought so far, it can be said that there is no need to continue, more than 200,000 elite troops, now can be left, can fight is more than 100,000, more than half of the loss, even if the Turkic tribe is a big tribe on the steppe, this loss is enough to be regarded as a broken nerve.
If it continues, even if Lushan City is captured, what is the use, the 100,000 tired army, can they occupy the vast grassland of the Tiele tribes, even if the Tiele people have no ability to resist, but the emaciated camels are bigger than horses, they really have to fight hard, and it is enough for the current Turkic army to drink a pot.
More importantly, the main problem now is not the reason for the Tiele tribes, but the upcoming Tang army, although these years under the leadership of Ashina Guduolu, the Turks can be said to have gotten rid of the previous predicament and re-emerged, suppressing the Tiele tribes in the north, invading the powerful Tang Dynasty in the south, and the Anbei Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty continued to move inward, and it seems that the Tang Dynasty is retreating.
But these high-level Turkic leaders all know that it is caused by the internal chaos of the Tang Dynasty, compared with the big tiger of the Tang Dynasty, the current Turkic is just a goat, or a little lamb that has not grown up, which is also the reason why Ashide Yuanzhen attacked Datang in previous years, often only attacked some border towns in Datang, even if there are conditions to invade the mainland, Ashide Yuanzhen will restrain the Turkic army and prevent them from going south too much.
But now, Datang has really done it, although they are not very afraid, but they are also full of vigilance, at this time, they are thinking more about how to repel Datang's reinforcements and dispel Datang's ambition to re-enter the northern grassland, rather than wasting the lives of precious Turkic warriors here for an insignificant Lushan city.
It's just that they just dare to think about these words in their hearts, and when they really come here, they don't dare to say a word, nothing else, just like the founding emperors of the previous dynasties of the Central Plains are extremely domineering existences, the self-made Ashina Gu Duolu is a representative of majesty here, his words are the will of heaven, no one dares to resist, no one dares to question.
When Kurdu said these words today, it can be said that he spoke their hearts.
"You don't think it's necessary to attack Lushan City, you don't think it's necessary to destroy the Tiele tribes, so what do you say?"
Facing the angry Kurdu, unusually, Ashina Gu Duolu didn't have the slightest angry expression, but asked a few questions calmly.
"This ......... Returning to the Great Khan, the top priority should be to leave here quickly and return to the Yinshan base camp, as long as the Yinshan base camp is held, wait until the winter, the Tang army can only return to Guannei, with this winter buffer, our tired army will be able to regain its fighting spirit, and when the time comes, whether it is facing the attack of the Tang Dynasty or re-attacking Lushan City, it will be .........."
"Silky ........."
Gollum, Gollum ......."
No one thought that the change would come so quickly and so violently, and the shocking change in the big tent made everyone completely stunned for a long time, and then there was a sound of gasping and swallowing saliva.
Looking at the white head that was rolling on the ground, all the Turkic generals, even if they were people who were used to seeing life and death on the battlefield, felt a chill in their hearts at this time, and then their whole bodies trembled involuntarily.
After all, the people killed on the battlefield, whether men, women, young or old, are enemies, but it is their own people who die here at this moment, or the veteran with supreme prestige in the Turkic army.
Who would have thought that after a long battle and a lifetime of fighting on the steppe, it can be said that the Turks can have the appearance of the current prosperity, and the veteran Kurdu, who has contributed to his part, died like this, or died under the knife of his own people, and was cut off by the Great Khan, who was most trusted and loyal to him.
It turned out that just when Kurdu was talking, Ashina Guduolu walked down from his seat, and then slowly walked behind Kurdu, and when Kurdu was not paying attention, he pulled out a scimitar from the hand of a general next to him, raised his hand and slashed Kurdu's brain.
"At the moment of the great enemy, it is so chaotic to the hearts of our army, how can it be reasonable for Ben Khan not to kill you."
Giving the blood-stained scimitar in his hand to the general who was still in a daze, Ashina said with a faint expression.
After escaping a handkerchief made of silk from his arms and wiping the blood stained on his face and hands clean, Ashina Bone Duolu slowly walked to his seat, and after glancing at all the generals in the big tent with sharp eyes, he asked sharply, "Within three days, the city of Lushan will be breached, and those who have merit will be rewarded, and Kurdu is an example, you can understand." ”
Hearing Ashina's words, all the generals couldn't help but shudder, and bowed down one after another and said, "We will obey the Khan's order." ”
............................
"Boom, boom, boom, boom.........."
The sound of thunder continued on the grassland, which may be a rare situation for the people of the Guannai, but for the people of the grassland, this is a scene that is often seen, because this situation is not thunder, but the movement of the horses when they are galloping fast.
The magic of creation lies in the fact that time and everything appear extremely ingenious.
This is particularly convincing on the prairie, where the vast prairie seems to be born to be a racecourse, and the boundless wilderness allows galloping horses to gallop to their heart's content without worrying about obstacles.
"Quick, quick, quick, quicker, if we delay things, see how I get back and clean up you bunnies."
Ten thousand horses galloped, and on these galloping fast horses, there were still warriors in armor, although the speed of these galloping horses was already very fast, judging from the constant urging words in the mouth of the leading knight, this speed still did not satisfy him.
"My lord, what is the use of us running so fast, that Lushan City is not our Tang Dynasty city, I heard that it is the city of the Tiele people, they and the Turks are all grassland people, although the relationship between the Tiele tribe and our Datang is okay, but as the saying goes, 'not my race, its heart will be different,' usually want to let them fight is impossible, now they are finally dog-eat-dog, so it is not better to let them lose both, we will clean them up when the time comes, wouldn't it be happy, Why do you have to run over so hard to relieve them, do you think this Changshi Lord has a bad brain. ”
"Smack"
"Ahh
Before the man could finish his words, he was struck on the back with a whip from the leader, and let out a cry of pain.
"Bastard, what kind of thing are you, Lord Changshi is also something you can evaluate, if you dare to talk such nonsense, be careful that I cut you."
As he spoke, he could finally see clearly that the person at the head was none other than the guerrilla general of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, Shi Daring.
It's just that at this time, Shi Daring was no longer wearing the armor of a guerrilla general, and it can be seen from the armor that his official position has been improved.
"Yes, yes, the adults are angry, the small ones should be beaten, everything else is good, the small ones are not good, talking nonsense, sometimes I really want to take the scissors and cut my tongue."
was whipped by Shi Daring, but the man not only did not get angry, but hurriedly laughed.
"Hmph, count your acquaintance, tell you, Lord Changshi is a person who has the world in mind, how can people like you and me be able to speculate, he asked us to save Lushan City, there must be his thoughts, we just need to do it, don't think about anything else, besides, what to do if you think so much, think so much and you won't be promoted and make a fortune, and follow Lord Changshi, but you can show your ambitions in your chest, and there are benefits, so don't you do it?"
